After following the messenger through the camp and the battlefield, Liang En came to the fortress on the mound where Wanghaiwei was originally located. As a person with professional archaeological training, he could tell at a glance that this mound was not natural.
Because judging from the nearby terrain, this place is an ancient alluvial plain. The sudden rise of such a commanding height is very abrupt, not to mention that the edge of the mound looks very straight, as if it has been artificially trimmed.
"Huh?" After looking around, Liang En focused on the section created on the side of the earth platform when he attacked the castle. A large amount of traces of rammed earth could be seen on the section, further proving that this earth mound was not natural.
formed.
After silently recording this abnormal point in his heart, Liang En took two steps to follow the messenger, and then entered the tunnel under his guidance.
The entrance to this tunnel is hidden in a burned-out grain depot. At the beginning, the tunnel was very narrow and could only allow two people to pass side by side. But as they went down step by step, the tunnel seemed to become wider and wider.
Liang En discovered that these tunnels were not dug temporarily. Instead, they existed a long time ago, so the difference between the later filled soil and the soil around the tunnels can be clearly felt.
At the same time, the entire tunnel has a complete ventilation system that cannot be dug out in a short time. Even if they go more than twenty meters underground, they still don't feel how turbid the air is, and even the oil lamps and torches in the tunnel can be lit normally.
Finally, 10 minutes later, Liang En was led by the messenger to an underground space the size of a basketball court. Instantly, the smell of blood wrapped around his nose.
The smell of blood came from the hundreds of corpses on the ground. Judging from their clothes and postures, this group of elite pirates fought in despair until the last moment, and no one surrendered.
The thing that these pirates want to protect is on the stone wall behind them, which is a door like a relief. However, the door has opened a gap at this time, revealing the milky white light behind the door.
What's interesting is that the door and door frame seem to have been built by two groups of people: the door itself has the flavor of the afterlife door in an ancient Egyptian tomb, while the marble door frame with Arabic inscriptions on the outside is close to Persian style.
It now seems that the entire earthen platform was probably built for this door, but as time went by, later people had forgotten the original content of the earthen platform and built a castle on it.
"Mr. Liang, we need your help next." After seeing Liang En, the commander-in-chief Ping An, who was wearing golden armor, cupped his fists and performed a half salute.
"There are a lot of Tianfang characters here, but we really can't find anyone we know. I heard Mr. Tian said that you know Tianfang characters, so I called you here. It's really annoying."
Facing the white-haired Liang En, Ping An, as the commander-in-chief, did not need this attitude at all. However, because Liang En had selflessly used many of his most unparalleled skills in this era to rescue the wounded, Ping An also lowered his profile at this time.
, and even expressed respect for Liang En's previous actions through the honorific title "Mr."
After all, this is an era where a secret recipe can prosper a family for several generations. Liang En's ability to come up with multiple secret recipes of this level and make them public directly is definitely an extremely morally noble approach.
"Don't dare, don't dare. As a citizen of the Song Dynasty, this is what I should do." Seeing this, Liang En immediately bowed and returned the gift. He knew that these things he did attracted the other party's attention, but it was definitely not a source of pride.
Because the situation was urgent, Liang En came to the door after a few simple greetings and read the words above.
Perhaps because they were overconfident that not many people in this land knew their writing, the people who left the writing in the past wrote things very straightforwardly, and Liang En quickly understood the Arabic content.
"This is a door to another world, which needs to be opened with blood and soul." After reading it twice to confirm that his translation was correct, Liang En told the people present what was on the door.
"Because you have eliminated a large number of pirates here, their souls and blood have opened this door, and the next ten people can enter."
"As for what's behind the door, there are treasures left by the first generation of the Pu family who came to Middle-earth. According to the content here, if the Pu family declines, they can rely on this treasure to rise again."
"Then what's inside?" Ping An asked nervously. As a soldier, he deeply understood the importance of knowing oneself and the enemy and fighting without danger, so he really wanted to find out what was behind the door.
"The world, a small world." After reading that word repeatedly, Liang En's face showed a mixture of nervousness and confusion.
"According to the text on the door, behind this door is a fertile land with a radius of hundreds of miles, a small world that can provide a lot of water and sunshine."
Having said this, Liang En thought for a while and found the corresponding content in the knowledge he had recently learned about spiritual practice. "If we use our terms, what exists behind the door should be a medium-sized cave."
"Unfortunately, according to the words engraved on it, this cave does not have any extraordinary power except for the core of the cave, so it may have no other use except for farming."
"A cave where you can farm!" After hearing Liang En say the word farming, almost everyone's eyes lit up. For this nation, a piece of land with a radius of hundreds of miles and good weather conditions is definitely a treasure.
.
Considering that the existence of this door meant that the people inside had not obtained the core of the cave world, everyone quickly began to organize an exploration team to go deep into that small world.
As a civilian, Liang En didn't have to join this team, and he himself was wavering on whether to participate in the adventure. But when he was thinking about this matter in his mind, he felt a vague response from the Qinglian Sword Art he practiced.
.
"It seems that I still don't have a deep understanding of my practice -"
After carefully feeling the call deep in his soul, Liang En immediately understood what had happened to him.
Li Taibai, who was able to order the imperial concubine to study ink and the strongman to take off his boots in front of the emperor, naturally needs no introduction to his courage, so the legacy he left behind will naturally require practitioners to have courage.
Therefore, in order to make his spiritual journey smooth and to satisfy his curiosity, Liang En took the initiative to sign up for this adventure.
As the only person present who knew Arabic, Liang En was immediately selected into the team after signing up. After simply organizing the team, Liang En and his team set off.
"This - this is!" After crossing a light gate, Liang En was surprised to see a golden field in front of him, and a huge and warm golden sphere hanging high in the sky.
Slowly looking back at the sky, Liang En looked around and found a sparkling river a hundred meters away. In the distance upstream of the river were dozens of large and small pyramids, with golden spiers.
Sparkling in the sun.
"Wusili!"
A former Confucian mage in the team suddenly called out a name, which in modern terms would be called Egypt.
Because their magic knowledge originated from the West, the original Confucians naturally had a deep understanding of this ancient country. Therefore, the first moment they saw the pyramid, they knew where the cave world under their feet came from.
