The four of us rested for nearly two hours before we recovered. The four of us sat on the sand and gasped. No one wanted to believe that we had eaten such disgusting things last night. It took a lot of heart and body.

After making adjustments, we wandered around this desolate ancient city, hoping to get some valuable clues.

The damage of the ancient city is quite serious. Under the baptism of long years and harsh environment, there is no intact building. Some have collapsed and lost their shape. Some were buried by the sand and only scattered bricks and tiles are exposed. Only the relatively complete ones are left.

There is an ancient tower in the city that is about to collapse. The gate of the ancient tower has been buried under the thick layer of sand. There are five floors that have fallen on the sand layer. I don’t know how many floors are buried under the sand layer. Logically speaking, it should be

Two floors, or four floors. Ancient people were very particular about building Feng Shui. Generally, pagodas would be built with seven floors. It is the so-called seven-level pagoda. The pagoda refers to pagodas in some scriptures, but if it is owned by the royal family,

Feng shui towers built for storing treasures or for viewing purposes usually have nine floors, symbolizing the emperor's actual nine-story status. Of course, there are differences in local beliefs, so the height of the towers varies. In

Out of curiosity, we planned to find a way to go inside the tower and have a look.

"Hadron! This door has been buried under the sand layer. It seems that the stone bricks on the tower wall are also weathered and very fragile. Or I can smash a hole and we can get in directly." Dunzi knocked on the tower wall with his hand.

stone brick road

"Don't mess around. You're just a half-hearted fool. What if you don't fix it right and the tower falls down?" The ground is full of sand. It shouldn't be easier to dig than the ground.

How difficult it would be, so we decided to dig deeper to see.

We walked around the tower, but we didn't know where to start. We couldn't dig down from all sides, right? This way our workload would be too much, and we didn't know how deep it was buried under the sand.

, digging without a target is not an option.

Dunzi saw that I hadn't done anything yet and fell into his old habit again. "I said, buddy, can you make it? Which side should you dig first? Or take four pieces of paper and write down the four directions respectively. If you win, let's see what God means.

." I glared at Dunzi. This idiot had a bad idea all day long. If you think about it carefully, according to Feng Shui, the pagoda gate must face the west, because the Buddhist gate is in the west. But some royal feng shui pagodas have no limitations, which makes people

What's annoying is that the tower in front of me is very old and weathered so badly that I can't tell what kind of tower it is. What's more, the tower is a little too inhumane. There isn't a single window in the whole tower. I started to wonder if it was a tower.

Tower, I think it would be more reasonable to call it a chimney.

After walking around the tower for a few times, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there seemed to be a stone plaque hanging on the top of the tower facing the gate of the ancient city. Due to its age and the fact that it was hung on the top of the tower, it was difficult to tell what the plaque was.

It says something, but I can be sure that the door must be down here.

After finding the direction, Dun and I each had an engineering shovel, kneeling on one knee in a half-squatting position. The engineering shovel in our hands was flying on the sand like the wind. The sky was filled with sand behind us. After a while, we dug down to a depth of more than one meter.

Digging a hole in the sand is not like digging a hole in the ground. As soon as you dig down a little, the sand next to it will immediately flow down. The further you go down, the harder it will be to dig. The only way to solve this problem is to dig a bigger hole.

Okay, Dunzi dug close to the tower to avoid digging. I followed him and poured the sand to Shang Yang and Wang Keai behind him. They then moved the sand to the back and watched layer after layer appear, but still no tower.

I was sweating profusely digging the holes in front of the door, and I was a little overwhelmed.

"Holy shit! This is already the seventh floor, and there is no door. Are you reliable, Qiangzi? Didn't you say that you can definitely see the door on the seventh floor? Are you bluffing my buddy with Yang Bailao who is not a real number?" I just wanted to encourage Dunzi.

Just tell him that this tower is not high, at most seven floors. What this guy is most afraid of is that there is too much life in front of him. If you don’t coax him to come here, you will be screwed. I don’t know how many floors this tower can only have.

She coaxed him like looking at plum blossoms to quench his thirst.

"According to common sense, it should be the seventh floor. Work harder! I hope it's just in front. Maybe you can see the tower door from the lower floor." If you ask this guy to work hard, you can only deceive him.

"According to common sense? It's a carrot! When we dug to the sixth level just now, you told me that there is definitely hope at the lower level. You understand that you don't have to pay for the labor. If there is no one at the lower level, I will not work anymore." Dunzi panted.

He was nagging at me. "Dude, I'm sweating all over, and my underwear is stuck to my butt."

"Okay, stop talking about it, but if you don't, I will take off my underwear and give it to you later to see if you can do it." Wang Kaitai and Shang Yang listened to our teasing each other and laughed happily behind me.

The chatter went back to the chatter, but everyone's work did not stop. Dunzi kept saying a word, complaining about the stale air. Everyone kept their heads buried and continued digging. As the engineering shovel in Dunzi's hand came out,

I knew from the muffled sound that I had finally dug into the tower door. But what made me curious was that the height of the tower was actually eight stories. There were too many things that were beyond common sense here, so I didn’t do any further research. I dug down.

Opening the door, the entire tower door appeared in front of us. The tower door is made of two wooden doors with a wooden structure. It is quite inconspicuous. To put it bluntly, it is just two flat wooden boards. The pillars were lifted inwards by hand, but they could not be moved. It looked like

It's locked inside.

We searched carefully outside but couldn't find a mechanism to open the door or anything like that. This kind of building is just to prevent outsiders from entering. It seems that there may be something fishy inside, so we have no choice but to force it. As

Dunzi kicked the big wooden door with almost as much force as possible. The big wooden door was kicked short by Lan Yao. Dunzi almost lost his balance and dodged into the tower. Xinhao and I grabbed his arm.

This kind of ancient pagoda, which has not been opened for hundreds or even thousands of years, is no more closed than a tomb buried underground. If the air does not flow for a long time, it will produce a kind of corpse gas. Many "heroes" are in the tomb, under the temptation of treasures, gold and silver.

I simply ignored this, entered directly after the fight, and was finally knocked down by the corpse aura. The corpse aura is not necessarily all emitted by the decaying corpses. Some coffins and buried food, and other things that can deteriorate, are in

It will be emitted during the process of decay and deterioration. Generally, people call it methane gas, but if you are a goldsmith, you will call all the odors emitted in the bucket as corpse gas.

We sat and rested outside the sand pit to get some fresh air into the ancient pagoda. After all, we were careful enough to use the Wannian Ship.

"You can just be so careless all day long. How could there be any corpse energy in this tower? I see how careful you are in dealing with it." What Dunzi can't bear the most is that you put a bowl of meat in front of him, but he is not allowed to eat it. Look.

It was strange that he was not in a hurry when he opened the tower door but refused to let him in.

"Being uneducated is the most terrifying thing. You can run around the world relying on ignorance. You need a hammer. Aren't you tired after digging for so long? Why don't you sit down and smoke a cigarette first?" I took out the last three life sticks from my pocket and handed them to Shang.

Yang and Dunzi said, "Brothers, come and cheer me up!"

"You bitch, you're still hiding it. Yesterday I asked you for a cigarette. You said you didn't have any. Will you have it now?" Dunzi took the cigarette and became intoxicated with himself. He took a few deep puffs and said, "Oh!

It’s so comfortable. I would rather leave my wife and baby behind, but I can’t throw away the cigarette handle.”

Dunzi and I were immersed in the intoxication of the smell of cigarettes. Suddenly Shang Yang sniffed his nose and said, "No! You smell it."
