At that time, there was an oasis near the Damascus Desert that had been flowing for thousands of years, which could provide food for Cushing's family, and they lived a carefree life. Cushing mainly did research on mathematics and astronomy. In addition, his family had been interested in Damascus for generations.
He has extremely original research on the local customs, customs and geography, and can be regarded as one of the best local scholars.
Just when Cushing's family was living an ordinary and fulfilling life, trouble came knocking on their doorstep!
At that time, Schiller, the emir of Damascus, was a corrupt official who loved to plunder the people's wealth. He had amassed countless treasures over the years. He was afraid that the treasures would be reported or robbed by bandits. Schiller racked his brains.
I came up with an idea: find a person who knows the nearby desert area best and let him preside over the construction of an underground palace!
As long as Schiller hid the treasures he collected in the underground palace, and set up countless murderous ambushes at the main entrances and exits to prevent thieves and other people with evil intentions, everything would be safe!
The sinister and vicious Schiller quickly selected the person to build the underground palace. That person was the famous scholar Cushing near Damascus. Scholar Cushing had a family background, extensive knowledge and extensive records, and he was very familiar with the desert geography around the ancient city.
, he knows the local customs and environment very well, and is really the perfect candidate to build your own private underground palace treasure house!
Knowing that there was a capable person like Cushing, Schiller certainly had no reason to let him go. He first sent people to bring expensive gifts and repeatedly urged him to meet at his official residence. However, Cushing politely refused because he was not feeling well.
.
In the end, Schiller suddenly realized that because his reputation was so bad, the upright Cushing would rather stay at home saying he was ill than refuse to see him! Schiller became angry and led his minions like wolves and tigers directly to Cushing's home.
In front of Cushing, the vicious Schiller slashed the old servant to death with a knife, and tied up Cushing's two sons and one grandson with ropes!
Seeing his children and grandchildren being arrested, Cushing was shaking with anger, but he was helpless and had no choice but to finally agree to Schiller's request to force him to build an underground palace, and all Cushing's family members were escorted away
He went to the underground palace and worked as a coolie.
Three years, a full three years, in order to build this treasure house of the underground palace, Cushing worked so hard that his gray hair turned into white frost, and a lot of haggardness and wrinkles appeared on his face, but just when the underground palace was about to be completely destroyed
When it was completed, a craftsman working inside risked his own life and fled to Cushing's house. He brought shocking news: As early as the first year of building the underground palace, all three of the old man's children and grandchildren died due to landslides.
He was crushed to death inside!
In order to allow Cushing to build an underground palace for himself, Schiller deliberately blocked the news. Anyone who dared to tell the news about the death of the old man's children and grandchildren would be killed without mercy!
Hearing the news, the old scholar Cushing was struck by thunder. He rolled his eyes and fainted. The craftsman took care of him for a long time, and then told the awakened Cushing that he escaped because he overheard the supervisor saying
, received Schiller's secret order, on the day the underground palace was completed, not a single one of the more than 300 craftsmen was left alive, and all were killed to prevent the news from leaking!
The craftsman had a family of young and old, and he had expected to reunite with his family after finishing his hard work. Who would have thought that after hearing the news, he immediately got out of the cave he accidentally discovered while working and fled desperately!
Thinking that Emir Chief Schiller could be so cruel and ruthlessly killing people! Cushing was so angry that he trembled all over. He sent away the fleeing craftsmen. After much thought, he decided to modify some of the mechanisms in the underground palace privately. On the day of completion,
Once Schiller's people want to seal the exit and trap all the craftsmen, Cushing can use the mechanism to secretly let the craftsmen go!
Just do it, and a battle of wits between good and evil begins! The days fly by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the day when the underground palace treasure house is completed comes. The supervisor and a few of his usually wolf-like subordinates change their usual confrontation with each other.
The craftsmen had a bad attitude of hitting and scolding them, but instead brought out a lot of wine and meat for everyone to eat and drink!
However, the craftsmen had been notified by Cushing in advance and knew that the food was poisoned. They pretended to eat without showing anything. When the supervisor was unprepared, he and a dozen of his thugs were knocked unconscious and tied up with ropes.
It was thrown into an inaccessible desert and left to fend for itself!
Cushing appeared at this time. He brought a large number of camels and gave them to the craftsmen, asking them to ride them quickly. He sacrificed his life to distract the pursuers led by the emir chief Schiller. In the end, Cushing was blocked by the villains.
In the dead end of the underground palace, he smiled happily and activated the mechanism, and died together with Schiller and his minions.
"So that's it!" After listening to the grievances between Schiller and Cushing, Guan Heng sighed with emotion: "Oh, good people can only end up dying together with bad people in the end. It's really not worth it!"
"Hahaha! There is nothing unworthy of this!" The old scholar Cu Xin twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Guan Heng, don't forget that I also saved the lives of hundreds of craftsmen. They will spread their branches and leaves in the future.
I've saved countless people! It's very profitable to use my dying life to save them!"
"Because of this! You see" Cushing spread his hands, stood up and turned around twice: "I can stay between heaven and earth for a long time and continue to study my knowledge. There is nothing wrong with this!"
"You are easy-going, open-minded and cheerful!" Guan Heng smiled: "This is something I didn't expect!"
"But your attitude towards studying knowledge is very similar to that of my teacher Howard Stark!" Guan Heng said with a smile: "I will definitely introduce you to each other when I have time. You two old scholars will definitely become friends.
!”
"Okay, if you put it that way, I really want to see him!" Cushing asked, stroking his long beard, "Where is Mr. Howard now?"
Guan Heng told the story of how he and Howard got to know each other, and it was so novel and exciting that even Cushing, an old scholar with extensive knowledge and memorization, was amazed: "Very good, it seems that I must pay a visit to Mr. Howard.
This is a wonderful person!"
"Then let's do it. After this expedition to the ancient ruins is over, I will take you back to my home in New York City to meet Uncle Huo!" Guan Heng lowered his head and thought about it: "Well, now, let's go to the underground palace first.
Looking for the Schiller family tree!"
"If we go to the underground palace, I can go with you!" Cuxin said with a smile: "I presided over the construction of that place, and I am very familiar with the inside of the underground palace!"
"Thank you, Mr. Cushing!" Guan Heng said with a smile: "I am really grateful. For the convenience of movement, I hope you don't mind entering the small space where I have the tattoo on the back of my hand for a while!"
"Oh, a small space that can hide ghosts!" Cushing twisted his beard and said with a smile: "It's really rare, so I'll go in!"
Hiding Cushing with the ghost-swallowing beast tattoo, Guan Heng didn't waste any time, donned the exorcist armor with a snap, flew directly in the direction pointed by Cushing, and found the location of the underground palace without any effort!
