The two of them held torches and descended a thousand meters in the dark environment, but still did not reach the bottom.
Jin An should be lucky that neither he nor Mr. Yiyun has claustrophobia, and they are very courageous, otherwise not many people would dare to walk alone in such a deep environment.
Mr. Yiyun: "The terrain here is steep. To carve out a suspended stone staircase on such a steep cliff is a huge project. It must have taken several generations of people to trim these stone staircases. It must have been cut halfway.
Many slaves who built the stone staircase died, so it is no exaggeration to say that we are marching on thousands of bones and souls..."
"This place looks like a bottomless pit, but I wonder if the end of the stone staircase can really lead to the bottom of the pit?"
In fact, the two of them didn't speak loudly along the way.
The environment here is claustrophobic and quiet, and the slightest sound can echo far away.
Jin An: "Didn't those veterans say that at the God's Ear, you can hear the sounds of the entire desert and hear the God's will? How come we didn't hear anything after going deep for so long, but it was surprisingly quiet."
Speaking of this, he smiled casually: "It seems that this is just a legend after all. How can there be such a magical thing in this world."
While walking and talking, Jin An was careless and almost fell into the bottomless abyss when he stepped in the air. The stones under his feet fell into the sinkhole and could not be heard for a long time. There was a dead end in front of him. The stone staircase ended here.
.
Jin An stood by the stone stairs and glanced at the bottom of the dark pit. He had a feeling that they had not even completed one-tenth of the way to fill the pit in Desert Ear. The pit and the surrounding darkness gave him a sense of
Feeling of oppression.
It was as if they were really walking in the ears of gods.
It is impossible to see the true face of the gods.
Mr. Yiyun: "It seems that the efforts of several generations of the Wu'er clan have ended here. Until the Wu'er clan fell and the country was overthrown, they still did not find out how deep the hole is."
Jin An shrugged: "Perhaps there really is a god. When mortals have limited power, they can't even glimpse one ten thousandth of the true face of a god."
People walking in the tiankeng did not notice the specific passage of time. When Master Yan, Ayimaimaiti and others also descended into the tiankeng and found them, they realized that it was already dark outside.
When everyone returned to the ground, the irritable people immediately approached the veterans and asked what happened to the ears of the gods. We are so close to the gods, why didn't we hear any sound? It's not that it is the closest place to the gods.
, can you hear the will from the gods? There is only a dead end road that looks normal.
Perhaps it was because several veterans who were staying at Desert Ear were kidnapped, which made Pasha and other veterans feel very bad. He sat in front of the fire pit and stretched out his hands to warm himself. He replied without raising his head: "That's just the desert."
There is a legend circulated in ancient times, if you follow the example of the Wuershi and perform ear circumcision, and then listen with the ears of the gods, you may be able to hear the sound you want to hear."
"You don't even have ears, so you can still hear the sound of shit! Those people in the Wu'er family are ignorant and stupid. Do you think I will be stupid like them? Who can just cut off my ears without any trouble! I think you old man is not well-intentioned.
, clearly wants to harm us!"
The person who had a quarrel with old man Pasha was from Lord Yan's side.
Speaking of the ear-cutting ceremony, Jin An remembered the time when there was a big sandstorm a few days ago, and the person who fell from the sky and fell to death had two ears cut off... Could it be that some people really cut off their ears by themselves, or were they forced to do so?
Trying to hear the voice of the gods?
At this time, Jin An also noticed that this man suddenly became angry with those veterans, which was actually a hint from Master Yan.
As expected, Jin An guessed what happened next.
Some people are bad-faithful, while others are bad-faithful. When Master Yan saw his subordinates quarreling with the veterans, he immediately stepped forward and scolded them: "Why are you arguing? What kind of words are you talking about? You haven't even apologized to the elderly people. You are ungrateful. Follow me."
It’s embarrassing for me. Think about who led us to survive in the desert, and who led us to find the Wuershi ruins.”
After Master Yan scolded his subordinates, he saluted and apologized to the veterans. This is called giving both kindness and power to win people's hearts. As expected, the veterans' attitude towards Yan Kuan was much kinder.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Yan Kuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Old man, have you really told us everything about the God's Ear? Are you sure there is nothing missing? Do you want to think about it again?"
Old man Pasha: "Master Yan, we did not hide anything from you."
"For the sake of Master Yan coming forward to speak for us brothers, I would like to sincerely advise you that we stand in the ears of the gods now, be careful in our words and deeds, and never talk about gods. Our ancestors left ancestral instructions, be careful in this desert
Walls have ears, and trouble comes from the mouth."
Looking at Mr. Yan who was singing the red face, Jin An did not come forward to expose him. He, Mr. Yiyun, and Qi Bo concentrated on feeding the camels.
Next, other people also started to clean up the shed and feed the camels. After all this work, everyone gathered in front of the firepit of the shed to prepare tonight's dinner.
Although there is a ready-made iron pot here, the half-cooked meat in the iron pot has been left for several days, so everyone ended up using the iron pot they brought with them into the desert.
However, those who had eaten camel meat at Laughing Corpse Village had their appetites become worse. Over the next few days, their spirits became even more depressed, and each of them became starved and thinned several times.
In fact, in the first few days, they could barely eat a few mouthfuls of dried meat and naan bread, but as time went by, these people found it difficult to swallow even these things. They would feel nauseous not long after eating these things.
Spit it out.
It seems that after eating that kind of extremely fragrant meat, they will change their eating habits. When ordinary food comes into their mouth, they will become disgusting, unpalatable, and ugly. Every time they eat something, it is like being forced to go to jail.
, I would always vomit it out after eating it.
vomit!
Another person forced himself to eat dried meat because of hunger. As a result, he vomited it out in pain as soon as he swallowed it. His stomach was so uncomfortable that he almost vomited out bile.
"It's all that old man Jiufeng. If he hadn't burned down the Laughing Corpse Village, we wouldn't have been involved in this suffering!" The fat old man Xikelti cursed angrily.
Yan Kuan glanced at the people on his side who were also vomiting after eating. While tearing up the hot naan with his hands, he said casually: "How come all the people who ate camel meat at Laughing Corpse Manor have changed?"
He looks like a human being but not a human being or a ghost."
Mr. Yan did not look at the veterans when he spoke, and it seemed like he was saying something casually. However, the atmosphere in the field immediately became tense, and everyone else looked at the veterans with unkind eyes.
The fat old man from Xikelti had a big belly and said with a harmless smile: "Didn't our brothers explain on the road that the camel meat we made with a unique spice in the desert is very fragrant?
It’s normal for guests to have difficulty accepting ordinary food after eating fragrant pork once. If Laughing Corpse Village hadn’t been burned suddenly and they didn’t bring much with them when they ran out, we would be willing to share the spices with everyone.”
This explanation is far-fetched.
But there is indeed not enough evidence to prove that there is something wrong with the camel meat.
The matter was finally revealed hastily.
Only Mr. Jin'an, Mr. Yiyun, and Mr. Qi knew that the so-called spices were actually dead meat cut from dead people. These veterans kept making small moves behind their backs and hiding many things.
After eating and drinking, everyone began to assign people to watch the night. The people from the Western Regions, Yan Kuan's group, and Jin'an each assigned a few people to be responsible for the night watch.
As for Jin'an, Jin'an stayed on guard for half the night.
Qi Bo was responsible for keeping watch for the rest of the night.
