Sand Sea Magic Nest 19

Except for me, everyone else felt strange after hearing the fat man's words. What's going on with this man? Why does this jade eyeball become yours? What are you thinking?

I thought in my heart: If these archaeologists find out that we are in the business of touching the Golden Mound, it will be a big deal. I quickly stretched out my hand and said to the fat man: There is so much nonsense, please stop talking.

No one will treat you as a mute.

The fat man knew he had made a mistake, so he kept silent. Fortunately, he was wearing a double-filter box gas mask on his face. It was dark in the temple, so no one could see anyone's expression, which saved some unnecessary embarrassment.

.

Professor Chen and his three students are all nerds. What I worry about most is being discovered. Her brain is many times better than mine, and her reactions are faster. She can't hide it even if she shows some flaws. Maybe she has noticed it already.

It turned out that the fat man and I were masters of reverse fighting, but we just didn't say it out loud. Now that the matter was over, I didn't need to burden myself anymore, so I stopped thinking about it and helped the fat man install the jade pendant on his jade eyeballs.

The pupils of the jade eyeball were facing upward, facing the ceiling. The groove directly above seemed to match the piece of jade that Fatty had. He changed the direction of the jade stone several times and finally aligned it. It clicked in. The jade eyeball flickered and rolled away from its previous fixation.

Where I live, the ground is bare, and I don’t know what mechanism had just fixed the jade eyes there.

I picked up the jade eyeball, handed it to Professor Chen, and asked him to look at it.

He folded a fluorescent tube to illuminate Professor Chen so that he could see more clearly. Professor Chen took out a large square mirror and turned it over and over for two or three minutes. He kept shaking his head: I can't tell what this does, but these jade eyes

A human head is so big, it is completely natural, and there is no trace of artificiality at all. It can even be said that artificial technology would not have been able to create it two thousand years ago.

The ghost cave civilization of Jingjue Country is too mysterious. Professor Chen and others have spent the past few decades and have not mastered much information. They only have a preliminary understanding of some ghost cave characters, symbols and history, and deduce that this is a

A nation that uses eyes as a totem for spiritual worship only made its judgment after arriving at the Black Tower. At this moment, it was naturally impossible to explain what this mysterious jade eye was.

At present, it can be determined that this hall with sixteen giant stone pillars is a temple. Since the Jingjue Kingdom regards the eyes as the highest source of energy, it is natural to enshrine an eyeball in the temple.

But why there is a groove on the jade eye, which fits the fat man's jade pendant perfectly, and why the jade eye originally fixed on the floor naturally falls off as soon as it is installed. These things are beyond comprehension.

Professor Chen asked the fat man to tell him the origin of his jade pendant, without any concealment or exaggeration. He must seek truth from facts.

The fat man has been a self-employed person for several years. He usually brags and talks about mountains and mountains, and basically doesn't think twice about it. He will brag about whatever he catches up with. Before coming to Xinjiang, he once told the professor and others that this piece of jade was obtained when he went to Xinjiang to fight bandits.

.Everyone laughed at it and no one took it seriously. It was only because they saw the mysterious ghost cave inscriptions on the jade that they agreed to let him join the archaeological team and go to Xinjiang together.

Now being questioned, the fat man saw that everyone was serious about his matter, so he didn't dare to brag. His knowledge of the origin of the jade was very limited, so he told it in full:

It turns out that the fat man’s father had participated in the revolution when he was fifteen years old, during the Jute Riots. He had a comrade. In the late period of the Liberation War, the two comrades who were originally in the same class had become far apart. One was in the first field and the other was in the third field. A senior commander at the level of column commander, this comrade of Fatty's father, when the People's Liberation Army's First Field Corps entered Xinjiang, he led the troops through Niya on the southwest edge of the Taklimakan Desert. On the way, he encountered a group of more than a hundred people. bandit.

At that time, the situation in Xinjiang was very complicated. There were numerous stragglers from various armed forces, as well as a large number of bandits and horse thieves. Therefore, encounters between the People's Liberation Army and bandits were common. In a short but fierce battle, the Chang'an Guard Regiment took advantage of this. The gang of bandits beat him to death and finally found this jade pendant on the dead body of a black-bearded bandit.

There was no way of knowing the origin and purpose of this jade pendant. Apart from the unusual color and texture, and some strange symbols engraved on it, there was nothing special about it, so I didn't take it seriously.

Later, the elder heard that his old comrade-in-arms had a fat boy, so he asked someone to give the piece of jade he had obtained accidentally as a gift.

Later, after the reverse flow in February, Fatty's parents were affected and died one after another. The elder in Xinjiang also died of illness. At that time, Fatty was only fifteen or sixteen years old, an age that four or six would not understand. In the end, only the relics in the family were left. This piece of ancient jade was kept like a treasure. This was all he knew about the origin of this piece of jade.

After hearing this, Professor Chen sighed and said: It's a pity that these people are no longer here. This exquisite piece of jade has changed hands several times, and its origin can no longer be verified. He sighed and felt very regretful that he could not understand the mystery of this jade eyeball.

I took the jade eye from the professor's hand and looked at it. She was concentrating on it and looking at it very carefully. I saw that she hadn't spoken much since she entered the ancient city of Jingjue. I thought it might be because she never showed up after seeing this ancient city. There was no trace of her father, so she was worried. Her father's explorers had been missing for more than a year. It was extremely difficult to say whether they had arrived here. Moreover, this place is located in a mountain pass, with strong winds and sandstorms. The whole city is unknown all year round. How many times have we been buried in the desert by wind and sand, only to be exposed by the next wind? We are extremely lucky to be able to find it this time. In this vast desert, looking for a small expedition team is like the bottom of the sea. Finding a needle is easier said than done. She always holds on to a glimmer of hope and will always feel at ease when she sees a corpse. The deeper she explores in the ancient city of Jingjue, the stronger her sense of loss may be.

I was once saved by her in the valley, and I hoped to do something for her when I had the chance. When I saw that she was interested in this jade eyeball, I thought it was a pity that the ancient jade belonged to a fat man. It's okay to just give mine to her.

At this time, before he finished reading, the fat man felt a little reluctant to leave. He stretched out his hand to hold the jade eye and retracted it. He said to the fat man: "Why are you in a hurry? I will pay you back after reading it."

The fat man said: Don't talk nonsense. This jade belongs to our family. What's wrong with making you look like a foreigner? I'm afraid you won't be able to pull it out. He grabbed the jade eye with his hand and took it back.

When I saw this, I quickly tried to dissuade him: You two, don't fight, don't fight, can you give me some face as the captain? I'll make the decision, let Miss Yang watch it for five minutes first.

I was afraid that the fat man and I would break the jade eyeball if they got into an argument, so I reached out to press the jade eyeball in their hands while talking. Unexpectedly, when they saw me interfering, they didn't want to fight for it anymore and let go together.

I only stretched out one hand and held it down from above. The jade eye was round and big, and it was slippery. I couldn't hold it. The jade eyeball fell heavily to the ground, with a snap, and broke into eight pieces. .

Everyone looked at me with big eyes. Professor Chen was trembling all over and pointed at me: "You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you" back again back again again, he were so angry that he didn't say a word.

I couldn't argue and waved my hands repeatedly: I'm not me, I'm me. Isn't this a good intention? I didn't expect why the hell it's so weak. As I spoke, I reached out to pick up the jade fragments on the ground. I prayed secretly in my heart that it would be best to stick them together to restore them. , otherwise they asked me to pay compensation. This is a priceless treasure. Even if they dismantle me and sell it in pieces, they can't afford the compensation.

I was really a little anxious and confused at that time, and I forgot whether I was praying to Hu Da, God, or Buddha. Maybe it was because I didn’t have a fixed belief, so the effect of praying was not obvious, and my jade eyes were not self-respecting. It was light, and the stone bricks on the ground were hard, so some places were broken into pieces. I scratched on the ground for a long time, but I couldn't find all the pieces.

The fat man said: Okay, Old Hu, if you drop it, drop it and don't pick it up. After saying that, he grabbed my arm and tried to pull me to stand up.

I squatted for a little too long, and because I was anxious, the equipment in the geology bag behind me was heavy. I was pulled by the fat man, and I lost my footing and fell to the ground. I struggled to get up, and inadvertently looked up and saw a faint light. In the middle, there is an eye the size of a washbasin on the roof of the temple, flashing with a strange light, staring at us.

When we came in, we took a cursory look at the surrounding environment, but we didn't take a closer look at the darkness above. No one noticed when such a large and moving eyeball came out.

I hurriedly shined a flashlight upward. Although the temple was high, the top area should be within the range of my flashlight. Who knew that as soon as the flashlight shined on it, the light column seemed to be swallowed up by darkness, except for the huge The eyeballs were covered with red threads, and the rest of the roof was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

The remaining six people also saw the huge strange eye above their heads. Everyone felt bad, fearing that the strange eye would fall and hurt themselves, so they all stepped back.

We saw the giant eye turning around in mid-air and then landed on the ground. Now we all could see clearly that although this thing looked like an eyeball, it was actually a translucent flesh ball with a bluish-white color outside. It is a substance with a large black mass wrapped in the middle. It would be strange not to think of it as an eyeball at a glance.

When the fat man saw this weird and abnormal meat ball, he panicked. He put the assault rifle on his back in his hand and prepared to shoot. I quickly held down his arm: Don't act rashly.

Before we could figure out what this thing was, the giant eye-like flesh ball suddenly cracked open, and hundreds of tangled black strange snakes flowed out. These strange snakes were the same as those we saw in Zagrama Mountain. They are all covered in black scales, their bodies are only a few dozen centimeters long, and they have a black sarcoma on the top of their heads.

Piles of strange snakes were squirming together, and their bodies were covered with sticky transparent liquid, as if they had just hatched from eggs. They were indescribably disgusting. Everyone's scalp was numb when they saw it, and they couldn't help but step back. A few steps.

We once saw a statue of a patron saint with a snake body in the black tower. There was also a black ball like this on the top of its head. At that time, Professor Chen speculated that the black ball was an eye. No wonder he saved me with a flashlight in an emergency in the valley.

life, it seems that the sarcoma on the head of this snake is extremely sensitive to light sources, even if it is not the eyes.

The scene in the valley left a deep impression on us. This unknown strange snake can fly several meters in the air with its strong body. It is also extremely poisonous. Once bitten, there is no time to save it.

He will die soon.

At this time, there was no delay. Fatty and I stood in front of everyone, taking advantage of the opportunity to shoot these black snakes while they were still entangled together. They have extremely strong vitality, and they can still hurt people with only one head left. I shot while

He called Chu Jian to the gun, poured the solid fuel on it, and lit it to completely burn them to death.

The firelight illuminated the temple, which was full of big stone pillars. Hundreds of black snakes were burned to charcoal before they could show their fangs. I let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, I struck first. These strange black snakes were

Could it be that the appearance of the jade eyeball is related to me breaking the jade eyeball? Or maybe the jade eyeball is a sacrificial weapon. Putting that piece of ancient jade on the jade eyeball completed a certain ritual and guided these strange snakes out of the so-called imaginary number space.

No matter what it is, if you see this kind of jade eyeball in the future, you must not take it lightly.

I asked everyone to check the surroundings, lest there be any fish that slipped through the net. I also looked carefully at the roof. There were flat stone bricks everywhere. I really couldn't figure out where the snake eggs like big eyeballs came from.

This careful inspection does not matter, as expected, something unusual was discovered. There are sixteen giant stone pillars in the temple. Each stone pillar has a pattern of six eyes on its body. The bases of the stone pillars are all regular hexagons.

There are five sides in the middle, and each side is carved with a small symbol, each of which is different. They are a hungry ghost, a goat-bearded man, a giant-eyed man, a guardian beast, and one side is empty.

These stone pillars attracted our attention. Professor Chen wrote down the orientation and types of these symbols one by one, and asked us to turn the hexagonal stone base under the stone pillars. After a try, it turned out that there was a stone trough and the pillar body underneath.

Separation, as long as you exert force, you can rotate.

The professor said that it seems that this building is made of large stone pillars, and it is a temple used for worship. It is also a multi-functional place for worship. The hexagonal symbol at the bottom of the pillar indicates its function.

These stone pillars are arranged in groups of four. The current arrangement is that the symbols of the patron saint are crossed and facing each other. The jade eyeball just now is a sacrificial artifact, and the ancient jade of the fat man is the magic tool for initiating the ceremony. It is not ruled out that there are other magic tools.

The possibility of the weapon. As for how this magical weapon wandered outside, I am afraid there will never be an answer. Maybe there was an expedition team of tomb robbers that entered the temple of this exquisite ancient country. Maybe it was those two thousand years ago.

In order to resist the rule of Queen Jingjue, the slaves stole away, and there is no way to know.

It can be inferred that once the magic weapon is connected, the strange snake regarded as the patron saint can be summoned to come out and enjoy the sacrifice. Moreover, this is a multi-functional temple because there are not only high-status patron saints on the stone pillars, but also

At the lowest end are slaves, livestock and evil spirits. The temple may also be used to perform rituals to suppress evil spirits and punish slaves. Different ritual objects can be determined through the changes in the arrangement of symbols under the stone pillars.

Asked: Professor, this temple should be as important as the palace. Is there a secret passage here that is connected to the underground palace? Can we look around for it? Now that Xiaoye is not in good health, we must find the water veins in the underground palace as soon as possible.

.

Professor Chen said: I can guarantee that there must be such a secret passage, but since it is a secret passage and the temple is so large, where can we find it in three hours?

The fat man interjected: "Two shopkeepers, as the saying goes, take people's money and solve their problems. You probably don't know how capable Lao Hu and I are. Don't we have so many yellow explosives from the Soviet Union? How about you?"

You guys go out for a while, I'll blow up the tunnel and let you see what we can do.

Professor Chen waved his hands hastily: Don't act recklessly, these are relics of ancient civilization, and destroying a brick is a crime.

I thought to myself that I broke the jade eyeball just now, and now is my chance to atone for my sins. I have all the mountains, rivers, geography, and five elements of feng shui in my chest. It is not difficult to find a secret passage, so I said to them: I see this temple

The arrangement of the sixteen stone pillars is the same as the arrangement of the sixteen dragons through the ground. This arrangement coincides with the number of giant gates. This kind of mechanism arrangement was used in the ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty. I watched the situation around the ancient city from the black tower.

Sure enough, the location is advantageous. It can be seen that Queen Jingjue is also an expert in metaphysics. You might as well try it and use the technique of dividing gold to find the passage in the temple. Maybe you can find the secret passage, but I am also a beginner in this method.

Let’s practice for now, and if we can’t find it when the time comes, we’ll think of other ways.

After hearing this, everyone agreed. Marquis Jing was watching. I walked to the center of the temple and looked at the stone pillars around me. In fact, the arrangement of the sixteen dragon pillars that penetrated the ground was not too difficult, and it was nothing more than installing the Five Elements and Twenty.

The changes in the four directions are just slight changes due to different locations and occasions. I walked back and forth between the stone pillars several times, making secret calculations in my mind.

These sixteen dragons that penetrate the earth are actually snakes. There is a saying in the sixteen-character yin-yang Feng Shui secret technique: the snake erratic, suddenly north and south. Among these sixteen, only one that penetrates the earth veins is the real dragon. It is simple to say,

It took a lot of thinking to actually use it, and finally the target was four floor tiles deep in the temple.

I knocked it with a small geological hammer and found that three of them were solid, and only one produced an empty echo. This two-meter-square stone brick did not have any wear and tear on its edge caused by frequent driving. It seems that few people use this passage.

However, unless you use explosives, you will definitely not be able to pry it open. The nearest stone pillar is the mechanism. I don’t know if this mechanism still works.

I called the fat man over to help. I put my hand on the hexagonal stone trough under the stone pillar. If I turned in the wrong direction or hit some mechanism, the situation would be over, so I asked Professor Chen and others to retreat to the temple.

Outside, I wiped the sweat off my head and told the fat man to first point the empty side at the stone brick that might be the secret passage, and then prepare to turn it five squares clockwise, one square in the opposite direction, and then clockwise.

Turn eleven squares, and then turn two squares in the opposite direction, not more once and not less once, otherwise it is hard to say what will happen.

The fat man said: Old Hu, you think I don’t know how to count. My grades were much better than yours when I was in school. Stop talking nonsense and transfer.

I silently recited the mantra in the secret technique in my mind: Search for a dragon from a thousand miles away, seek its left and right, follow the five steps of Yang, follow one of the Yin steps, and turn around.

The two of them used their strength to turn the hexagonal stone trough. After turning one square, they counted them together. After turning the last square, they heard a bang-boom sound. The stone bricks on the ground sank, revealing a bottomless path.
