Chapter 395

Seeing the nervous expressions of Liu Cong and the others, Chen Ziyang stood up, ready to go over to see what was going on.

At this time, Liu Cong noticed that he had woken up, so he made a silent gesture to Chen Ziyang, and waved to him lightly, meaning to tell him to be careful when he passed by, so as not to wake up other people .

Carefully bypassing the scattered team members sleeping around the campfire, Chen Ziyang came to Liu Cong's side.

At this time, Liu Congzheng and Zhang Linfu were squatting behind the closed half door, with serious expressions on their faces.Chen Ziyang, who came over, tightened his collar. This place was much colder than the place where he slept just now. He suddenly changed from a warm sleeping environment to this place, and he shivered a few times.

"What's wrong?" Chen Ziyang whispered in Liu Cong's ear.

"Hold down, listen." After saying this to Chen Ziyang, Liu Cong turned his head and continued to look outside the door.

Chen Ziyang pricked up his ears, turned his ears towards the door, and listened carefully for a while, but he didn't hear any weird sounds.

Feeling that he may be a little far away, he rubbed his body forward, clinging to the half stone gate built by the team himself, and continued to listen outside the gate.

"Wow... woo..." A faint cry of a baby, mixed with some slight wind noises, reached Chen Ziyang's ears.

Hearing the sound of the baby crying, he was obviously taken aback for a moment, then shook his head to wake up his dizzy head, and continued to listen.

Chen Ziyang didn't believe that he could hear the sound of a baby crying here. This was too unbelievable and impossible. Could it be that there were still people living in this city of underground mausoleums?

It is impossible for people to live here, the possibility must be zero, but what happened to the sound of the baby crying before?Could it be a ghost?So he felt that it was very possible that he had heard it wrong. The sound should not be the sound of a baby crying, but some kind of wind.

"Wow... woo..." This time the baby's cry was much louder, and Chen Ziyang's eyes widened suddenly. There was nothing wrong with it, it wasn't wind at all.Then he turned his head and looked at Zhang Linfu and Liu Cong who were also puzzled.

"We have also listened to it for a long time just now. Sometimes the cry of this child sounds very far away and the sound is very small, and sometimes it sounds very clear and loud. It should be relatively close to us, as if it is There are babies crying in different parts of the city. But the baby crying sounds all the same, and it must be coming from the same thing."

After Liu Cong said this, Chen Ziyang felt that this matter was a little weird. At this moment, in his eyes, there was something different mixed in the faint green light projected on the surrounding houses. , cast a layer of mystery over the whole thing.

"Go and rest, we are watching here, there should be nothing wrong."

After nodding his head, Chen Ziyang went back to the fire and added a few broken boards to the fire.But this time after he lay down, he couldn't fall asleep anyway. The crying of the baby kept lingering in his ears, and he couldn't get rid of it.

The sun cannot be seen in the city of imperial mausoleums. Even in the daytime, it is still pitch black and green.It may be because the day before was really tired. Even when the sun was rising, the people in the team still didn't get up. Even if everyone woke up, they still didn't want to leave the warm campfire.

Chen Ziyang secretly told Yang Lei and Shan Shishuai about hearing the baby crying last night, and told them to be careful, there must be some weird things hidden in this city of imperial tombs, and they were acting When you are alone, don't leave an order, it's better to have someone to take care of you.

Then the team continued to move forward, ignoring the houses on both sides. The goal of the team's advance was very clear, which was the tall building whose outline could be vaguely seen in the distance.

If you move forward, you will exceed the effective range of the communication repeater, and you will lose contact with the two team members who stayed outside.Liu Cong made a call with them, and heard that there was no emergency outside. After everything went well, he gave the two team members a few words and cut off the communication.

The closer you are to the tall building, the clearer the outline of the building will be for everyone to see.This is a pyramid-shaped building with a large bottom and a small top, and a wide bottom and a narrow top. However, the top of the building is flat, and it looks like a tall pyramid whose top has been cut off.

It wasn't until everyone got closer that they realized that this tall building was not a palace, but an observatory.Compared with the tallest surrounding buildings that are no more than three stories high, this observatory is really tall.

The observatory is 60 meters high, and the widest part below is also 70 meters wide. A long series of steps more than ten meters wide extends to the flat top of the observatory. The two sides of the steps and the top of the observatory are still Inlaid with stone balustrades.The entire observatory is made of long stone bricks like the city wall, which looks extraordinarily domineering.

Others were amazed at the magnificence of this building, but there was a trace of disappointment in Liu Cong's eyes.Originally, he thought that this building might be where the imperial palace was located, and the iron book recording the treasures of the dragon veins of the Qing Dynasty was hidden in it, but he didn't expect that it was nothing more than an innocuous thing.

However, there was one person who was particularly excited, and it was Maoshan Star Master Guo Huaxing.Guo Huaxing was very excited when he saw this star observatory that could only appear in his own dreams. Regardless of other people's obstruction, he was the first to walk up the steps, insisting on feeling the momentum of the star observatory in the Tang Dynasty.

Liu Cong didn't force him back either. After all, the observatory is very high. If you stand on it, you may see farther, which will help the team to find the next goal.

After loudly reminding Guo Huaxing to proceed carefully, Liu Cong directed the rest of the team to walk up the steps one after another.

Jia Da said that he didn't want to climb these steps, so Liu Cong left a team member to take care of the unconscious Li Linzhi with Jia Da.

At this time, Guo Huaxing, who had walked up more than a dozen steps, suddenly stopped, staring at the steps under his feet, and then squatted down, carefully stroking the steps in front of him with both hands.

With the reminder of Guo Huaxing's weird action, Chen Ziyang discovered that these steps are not smooth, but are actually engraved with star maps one after another.

Constellations are depicted on these steps one by one, and the stars that make up the constellations are connected by straight lines.The constellations depicted on each step are different.

Apart from Guo Huaxing, few people understand astrology. Zhang Linfu just looked down for a few times, and then stopped paying attention.Guo Huaxing, who walked out first, slowly fell to the end of the team.

He was so focused that he had to squat down and watch for a long time every time he crossed a step.At the same time, he muttered in his mouth and didn't know what he was talking about, and his face was full of surprise.

Zhenhao was the first to climb up to the observatory, but he who had just seen the top of the observatory suddenly stopped, lay down on the steps in an instant, and at the same time hurriedly gestured carefully to the people behind him.

After seeing Zhenhao's reminder, the others knew that there must be something wrong on the observatory.Following closely behind, Chen Ziyang climbed over the last two steps with a crawling movement, and also saw the thing on the observatory that Zhenhao was on guard against.

In a corner of the observatory, there was actually a person standing.

This person looks very tall, at least 1 meters above the visual inspection.The person standing on the observatory turned his back to the crowd, with his hands behind his back, a bun on his head, and a hairpin across the bun. This person was wearing a dark yellow Taoist robe, and a The huge Yin-Yang fish pattern is particularly conspicuous.

At this time, other people also came to the top of the observatory one after another. A row of people lay on the steps more than ten meters wide, all staring at the person standing on the observatory.

"It looks like a sculpture." After staring at this person for a long time, Chen Ziyang could see from some details that this person should not be a real person.

Liu Cong and Zhenhao nodded at the same time, and then Liu Cong made a gesture to Zhenhao.Having received the order, Zhenhao carefully climbed onto the observatory with a gun in his hand, and slowly approached the statue in the corner.

A row of heads were exposed outside the steps, and everyone's eyes were focused on Zhen Hao's body, and they didn't dare to breathe.

After slowly approaching this person with an arc in the distance, Zhenhao made a gesture of reassurance to everyone, then he carefully walked around in front of this person, looked at it for a while, and said to the people behind: "Don't worry, this is indeed a sculpture."

Seeing that Zhenhao had confirmed that there was no danger there, the others couldn't wait to board the observatory and came to the front of the sculpture, wanting to take a closer look.

This statue is very beautifully carved, and every detail is meticulous.The face of the statue looks a little old, but this man's face is full of heroism, and he is a master of Taoism at first glance.

The sculpture of the old man stands with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, his eyes are piercing, and he has been staring at the "starry sky" all over the sky.

This is the first time that everyone has seen colored things since they entered the City of Imperial Tombs. The whole body of the statue is painted with a thick layer of oil paint. I don't know what these oil paints are made of. After so many years, although some have fallen off, the color is still very bright, forming a sharp contrast with the countless earthy yellow stones covered with light green light.

"Yuan Tiangang? Could it be that he is Yuan Tiangang?" Yang Lei's words were the answer everyone guessed in their hearts. Unexpectedly, after more than 1000 years, everyone would still have the opportunity to see the face of the number one national teacher in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

"Come and see here." Xu Xiaoyuan pointed to a stone screen in front of the statue and shouted loudly.

It was only then that other people noticed that there was a stone screen more than three meters wide standing in front of the statue, and a pair of stone carvings were carved on the screen.

"Is a screen worth such a fuss? I really haven't seen anything in the world." Yang Lei muttered as he walked to the front of the screen, but when he saw the carvings on the screen, he also opened his mouth wide in surprise .

The pattern on the screen is carved on the top of the observatory. The statue of Yuan Tiangang stands in the corner. There is a square thing in front of him, which should refer to the screen in front of everyone. Nine people are carved.

The nine people were divided into two rows. The first row consisted of two people standing behind Yuan Tiangang, and the other seven people formed a row and stood a little further away.

The two people closest to Yuan Tiangang were also wearing Taoist robes, and they stood facing each other. Judging from the looks and expressions on their faces, they seemed to be arguing about something.

The seven people in the second row were still wearing Taoist robes. These seven people were six men and one woman. The seven people lined up neatly in a row, staring at the two people and the three sculptures in front of them.

Originally, there was nothing strange about the engravings on this pair of screens, but the most surprising thing was that the seven people in the second row who only showed their backs were the same as the seven masters of Maoshan in terms of height and body shape. There is no Jia Da in the sculpture, and Xu Xiaoyuan is the one who replaces him.

"My God, these seven people don't refer to us, do they? Could it be that the two people in front are Zhang Taixu and Wang Ding? What does this engraved on the screen mean? Is it a prophecy?" Jin Huang almost He was about to stick his face to the screen, and said in surprise.

"Prophecy? That's ridiculous. How could the people who built this place know that Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian would come? How could they know that we would come? It's been more than 1000 years, even if it's a prophecy, it's impossible to be so accurate Right, even the gender can be predicted?"

"Then why do these seven people look exactly like us? And why are the nine people on the sculpture divided into two rows? This is obviously two groups of people who came here one after another, which is exactly in line with our previous guess."

……

The people in the team started arguing, no one could understand what was going on, and everyone was full of doubts.

"Okay, stop arguing. Yuan Tiangang once co-authored "Tui Bei Tu" with Li Chunfeng. It is said that it predicted major events that would happen more than 2000 years later. Although most of it is exaggerated, it is enough to prove that these two people have With the ability to deduce the future, it is not a big deal for them to anticipate our arrival." Zhang Linfu stopped the quarrel among the crowd.

Chen Ziyang stared at the little man with the same figure as himself on the sculpture. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this figure resembled himself, and the other people were all the descendants of Maoshan around him, especially the only woman in the screen. .

Different from other people, this woman showed a side face, and the outline of the side face was exactly the same as Xu Xiaoyuan's. If it was said that the sculpture was someone else, Chen Ziyang would not believe it.

"This place is not simple..." Zhang Linfu said meaningfully.
