Chapter 1414: The Boundless City, the Gateless Grave
Five people, Liu Shiba, Li Ergou and his wife, Solanta, and Meng Tianfang, turned on their flashlights like crazy, and ran wildly in the open underground space in the direction of the roar, without touching their heads for a while...
"My dear, this is wrong! You must have been running for a few minutes, at least three miles. Why haven't you seen a single head?"
The same doubt filled the hearts of the five people, but only the leader, Li Ergou, who was running at the front, asked aloud.
Why is it Li Ergou? Why is he running in front?
Because in this unknown Warring States era, Li Ergou has recovered to this day. His body is the weakest among all the people. He really can't run...
Anyone with experience in long-distance running knows that the more you run in front of the team, the easier it will be. Therefore, in long-distance running, you cannot look at first, second, and third, because the weakest and strongest are all mixed up in the middle...
"Uncle Ergou, grit your teeth and bear it! I have an intuition that I will run to the end soon..."
Liu Shiba, who was running in the middle and frowning secretly, had no choice but to take the time to comfort Li Ergou in a low voice.
"Intuition? Bullshit...I...I don't believe in dogs..."
"Peng..."
"Ouch!"
"Making your sister..."
Before Li Ergou finished uttering a dirty word, there was a muffled sound, followed by an angry cry of pain, followed by an even more dirty standard curse.
Liu Shiba and four others who were following Li Ergou were frightened by Li Ergou's movements and watched him squatting on the ground with his head covered...
"Uncle Ergou, what happened to you?"
Liu Shiba asked with concern.
Li Ergou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He pointed at a walnut-sized bud on his head and said angrily:
"No, I almost broke my head. It's strange. Isn't he running with a flashlight? What kind of thing did he hit?"
While talking, Li Ergou stood up, unconvinced and stretched out his hand towards the dark front...
"What? Is this a black wall? Why is there a wall here?"
The wall tiles are still dark, and there are no reflections when shining the flashlight...it's strange!"
Li Ergou covered his head, holding up a dark and strange wall outside his palm.
In order to exonerate her man from being a fool, Cuihua immediately stepped forward, observed the black wall carefully, and walked several hundred meters along the wall...
"Eighteen! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe it. This wall is extraordinary..."
Cuihua returned to the crowd with a solemn expression.
Liu Shiba said doubtfully:
"What's unusual, Aunt Cuihua?"
Cuihua looked at Li Ergou, who was covering his head, and slowly explained:
"Not to mention that the walls are all made of black mud bricks, the scale is probably not what we can see with the flashlight, so little..."
Li Ergou put down his hand, stared at his eyes and asked:
"What do you say? Mother-in-law, please be happy?"
Cuihua slowly took off the famous Lingbao bow from behind, put a white feather arrow on it, then glanced at Li Ergou and said coldly:
"This is not a wall of a house, nor is it a palace...
His grandma said, this is actually a city wall, a section of black city wall...
"ah?"
"What? A city wall?"
"The cake seller...I'm a little dizzy!"
Cuihua's words really shocked Liu Shiba and his party to the point of jaw-dropping...
Noda Castle is a huge place on an isolated island far away from the sea. At first, Liu Shiba estimated that this place was just a small palace-like tomb...
"Gah..."
Liu Shiba swallowed hard, picked his forehead and asked:
"It can make Aunt Cuihua's face turn green. I feel like the city wall alone is not enough, right?"
"That's right!"
Cuihua confirmed Liu Shiba’s question and added:
"The point is, I ran hundreds of meters left and right and still haven't found the city gate!"
"No city gate? Si... This is not simple!"
Li Ergou immediately catered to his mother-in-law's topic.
Liu Shiba's face was gloomy, he turned to look at Li Ergou and said:
"Uncle Ergou, what do you have in mind?"
"Well! In the past, I heard your grandfather describe that even the tomb of the First Emperor had a gate, and hundreds of thousands of craftsmen were eventually killed by the gate.
You must have seen this in Qinling Mountains, and Meng Tianfang also came from there, right?"
Li Ergou hugged his waist, stroking his beard and shaking his head to show off his profound experience.
"That's right!"
Liu Shiba and Meng Tianfang looked at each other and nodded affirmatively.
"If this tomb is built to the point where there are no city walls, it will further prove that this place is extraordinary.
At least the scale of its construction is very large, which has exceeded our expectations and imagination.
I really didn’t expect that an isolated overseas island would actually build such a huge underground project hundreds of years ago. It’s really not that simple..."
Li Ergou continued to describe.
Unexpectedly, Cuihua was a little impatient, so she kicked her over and said angrily:
"Master, can you get to the point?"
Li Ergou bared his teeth, turned around and touched the sitting post and hurriedly explained:
"Ouch! What are you doing, old lady? Don't worry, I mean this is the legendary ghost thing called the Boundless Ghost City, which means - a gateless city!"
"A city without gates? What's the point?"
Liu Shiba asked with his eyes widened, he was really worried about Lao Hei's life and death in his heart.
Li Ergou touched the big bract on his head that had not subsided, showed a particularly solemn expression, and said slowly:
"I don't really understand what it means. I just heard your grandfather say that after this kind of gateless city is built, it will definitely be a representative of boundlessness.
The important thing is that all the people who built this city were trapped in the city, and no one came out alive..."
"What does it mean? When the city wall was finally completed, the craftsmen who built the wall were completely in the dark. They didn't know that this was a tomb without city walls..."
Cuihua's eyes trembled, and she opened her mouth wide in surprise.
Liu Shiba looked calm and said calmly:
"Indeed, this imperial mausoleum was built in such a disgraceful manner, and its scale is even more unpredictable.
God knows how much people and money will be wasted. Especially, we don’t know how many laborers will die. We will continue to investigate and find the entrance immediately, don’t waste time.”
Solanta immediately answered:
"Oh God! Can't you hear Li Ergou say, this city wall has no door?"
Liu Shiba grinned and stared:
"If you don't understand, you should shut up! Just play while you die!"
"Seller of cakes! You are unreasonable..."
Solanta pursed her lips to express her grievance.
"hey-hey!"
Li Ergou patted Solanta on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"On this point, the old man agrees with Shiba's opinion! Don't you understand, you idiot?"
Solanta's eyes were blank and she shook her head...
Just as he was talking, a penetrating roar came from inside the city wall again...
"Ouch..."
Cuihua's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said with a sweet smile:
"No! There must be an entrance here, otherwise how did Lao Hei get inside the city wall?"
When Solanta heard this, she slapped her forehead and said in annoyance:
"So that's what happened, I understand!"
