Chapter 28 The Eye

Sand Sea Devil’s Nest 18

Just about to go up, Ye Yixin was blown by the morning breeze on the tower, suddenly awake, Shirley Yang took out the water bottle and fed her some water, she is still very weak, but compared to the time of unconsciousness, now is much more reassuring, her dehydration is still very obvious, but for the time being do not have to worry about her life, since she woke up, then within a day or two to a large number of cold saline treatment properly, there is no big problem! We are all anxious to know what is going on in the tower.

We were all eager to know what strange things were on the tower, and to find the entrance to the ancient city’s underground palace, so we helped her along to the fifth floor of the black tower.

In the short process of walking up to the fifth floor of the Black Tower, I thought of all kinds of possibilities, but I didn’t expect the fifth floor to be empty, not even the base of the stone statue, just the secret writing on the walls, even more.

I asked Prof. Chen, “Was this level vandalized? Or stolen?”

Professor Chen hesitated slightly and said, “It’s hard to say, take a look at the upper level to know what exactly is here.”

The stone statue in this black tower aroused the curiosity of the crowd, and they couldn’t wait to go up the steps along the tower to the top, and this highest level of the tower stood a black throne, on which sat a statue of a woman, with a gorgeous costume, and her face was carved into a veil, so she couldn’t be seen, but at a glance, one could tell that this stone statue was exactly the same as the Queen of the Essence portrayed on the murals of Prince Po Mo’s tomb, and that this was the Queen’s full-body Stone Statue.

The crowd murmured, all guessing what the queen actually looked like.

I couldn’t figure it out, so I asked them, “What kind of drug is this queen selling? Why doesn’t she even show her true face in the statue?”

The fat man replied: “In my opinion, it is a false pretense, what the first beauty of the western region, most likely an unseemly ugly, or else as to so hide for fear of people to see it, but this body is really the past, the plate is not, the stripes are also smooth.”

I said your mouth accumulate a little virtue, this is dead two thousand years of people, you still see people body strip good or bad, you see this city things, and those legends are how similar, in case this queen is really a monster, not allowed to pop out from where to bite you a bite, let’s not blindly guessed, or listen to the professor how to say it.

Professor Chen since on the sixth floor of the black tower, has never spoken, has been in these clues in the brain strings, this time thinking about almost, listening to us out of the question, then said: “Earlier I said, this stone tower is likely to be a spiritual symbol, there is a clear hierarchical characteristics, there are high to low, that is, from the noble to the lowly. The nationals of the Jingjie country are mainly composed of the Ghost Cave race, this nation has long been extinct, at present, there has not been unearthed any of their bones, so it is impossible to deduce the origin and background of this race, the biggest discovery we have made so far is that this race uses the eye as a totem, which is definitely a major breakthrough in the study of the ancient Western civilization, and with this basis, a lot of puzzles plaguing scholars’ doors for many years, will be be solved head on.”

Fatty asked again, “Then why is this fifth floor empty?”

I suddenly thought of the words we heard from Shirley Yang in Prince Pu Mo’s tomb, and couldn’t help but say offhandedly, “Void space.”

Professor Chen nodded slightly and said, “Exactly, above the daemon is an indescribable void space, and the Queen is above it, as if she is in complete control of this unknown space, and there is also a totem in the shape of an eye on the top of the tower, which suggests that the Queen’s power also comes from her eyes.”

Hearing this, everyone’s heart inevitably a little hairy, is this world really exists in this kind of space beyond the common sense of mankind? And that queen can control that other world through her eyes, is she not really a demon, fortunately she is already dead.

Professor Chen can see that the people are worried, then continue to say: “you do not need to be nervous, the ancient rulers are using these myths to fool the people, in order to consolidate their own dominance, just like those emperors in the Central Plains, each say they are the true dragon son of heaven, the order of the heavens, but in fact it is? But in reality, it’s just a means to fool the people. It is not surprising that this queen never reveals her face and pretends to be a god. But these monuments are all extremely valuable to the study of ancient history and culture, and this stone tower is of great significance.”

When we saw that there was nothing else in the black tower except the stone statue, we looked down on the whole city from the tower, only to see that the whole Jingjie City was mixed with the yellow sand of the desert, and the outline of the ruins of the ancient city was also in the shape of a huge eye.

Professor Chen looked at it and asked me, “Elder brother Hu, you have quite an insight into feng shui, what do you think of the feng shui of this city?”

I thought to myself that the first priority now is to find the water source in the royal palace, why is this old man testing me again, does the professor think that the queen’s tomb is underneath the royal palace, so I carefully looked at the geographical situation around me.

I pointed to the north of the twin mountains of Zagrama and said: “Professor, look, that black mountain range, like a black dragon in the desert, but unfortunately the middle is broken, a dragon into two snakes, in my humble opinion, the middle of the valley is artificially excavated, the mountain out of the stone, may be used as a city of black towers and the raw material of the stone man. Ancient emperors, are from a throne, will immediately begin to prepare for their own mausoleum after a hundred years, this ancient city if there is really underground water veins, and this Zagrama echo each other, the formation of a static and a situation, must be that the Queen of the Jingjie is also a brilliant wizards, know that the black dragon is unlucky, will mobilize manpower, the black dragon cut off the nails, so that it will always guard their own mausoleums, the city has formed an excellent treasure cave! , if the Queen’s tomb is really in the city, it must not be small in scale, so there is one thing I can’t figure out, Professor, you said that her palace is underground, and I think the ancient tomb is also underground, that’s a bit too confined.”

Prof. Chen praised: “Surely a high opinion, I think the royal palace and the ancient tomb are indeed in the city underground, but not crowded together, it is possible that it is divided into three layers, on the ground this layer is the castle, the underground layer is the royal palace, the deepest part, it is the mausoleum of the Queen of the Jingjie, the Jingjie is a powerful country, driving a hundred thousand slaves of the neighboring small countries, and even that the Zagrama mountain can be hardened to open up a valley, the underground king’s palace and mausoleum project was done despite its magnitude.”

Legend has it that more than once there were explorers who had been to this ancient city, but the yellow sand was constantly moved by the wind, and their traces could not be found at all, and there might have been people among them who had entered the underground palace, but it was completely impossible to confirm, and naturally it was impossible to see where those people had entered the underground palace from.

Positioned in the Jingjie country in the ancient city, know that the royal city is at the foot, but can not find the entrance, the end is to make people anxious, we in the tower on a street by street, a broken house a broken house to see, finally in the city found a higher than the ordinary houses of the stone building, the top is covered with a layer of yellow sand, do not look carefully, it is really not easy to find.

It seems that this is the only clue, we hurriedly rushed to the near, this building seems to be a temple, is also built by Zagrama black stone, stone door caused by a huge beast open mouth, the doorway piled up a large amount of yellow sand, I and fat man dug a passage, people put on gas masks, with cold smoke fire lighting forward.

The stone hall is very grand, there are two eighteen sixteen giant stone pillars, only the door is blocked by yellow sand, there is no sand inside.

The floor of the deepest part of the hall, enshrining this one jade eyeball, there are still naturally occurring red filaments in the jade, blue pupils, layered, a few can be messed up.

I see staggered, boy, this thing must be worth a lot of money, that is, only to see a look, touch a touch, but also not in vain into a trip to the desert, really a god, if not see with their own eyes, which think there are such treasures in the world.

The fat man could not hold back, want to move down the jade eyeball into the backpack, which even made a few times force, the eyeball as in the floor roots, not moving.

Professor Chen is afraid of fat man force savagery, destroyed this ancient artifacts, quickly pulled him away, let him not move, Shirley Yang found the jade eyeball on a groove, the shape of the peculiar, but with the fat man’s jade pendant is very similar to the fat man, they said to the fat man, “your piece of family heirloom jade pendant mounted on the top of the try, it seems to be a mechanism.”

The fat man was overjoyed, touched his own jade pendant from his bosom, pushed the bystanders aside, and inserted the jade pendant into the groove of the jade eyeball with his own hands: “If this is right, then this big eyeball is my old man’s, whoever snatches it with whoever is in a hurry, don’t blame the old man for being nonchalant, his grandma’s, it’s really a good thing, old Hu, this time we’re really fucking rich.”
