But now we are in the mysterious depths of the Far North, not counting Caohai, and we have the lives and fortunes of nearly ten thousand people on our shoulders. There is no room for carelessness. One more thing is worse than one less thing, especially in the depths of the Far North. If we encounter something, Nothing is a small matter.
"Let's go." Before leaving, Li Luo suddenly stopped being curious. General Qian Yi looked at each other, and Qian Yi asked carefully, "How about I go in and have a look, and then report back to the general."
"No need. If you encounter something unusual in the future, avoid it if you can. If you can't avoid it, don't be afraid. Just do it."
"I will understand." The generals all smiled, calmed down, and followed Li Luo away. Li Luo looked back and saw that those people were still standing in front of the temple gate, seeming hesitant and not entering the ancestral temple.
Find out the truth. "What does that house look like?"
"Back to the general, there is a statue deep in the room. It is strange and strange. I have never seen it before. It looks like a human. However, the facial features and clothing are different from ours. It is wearing a robe. It is not tall and is a bit rickety.
By the way, the teeth are very long, a bit like a wolf dog. There are not many tablets in front of the statue, thirteen in total. The subordinates are ashamed and do not recognize the words on them. These are no different from what the brothers saw before entering the city.
This time, there are more dead bodies hanging upside down on the roof, a total of one hundred and twenty-three, tied up with a weird silk rope and hung on the roof."
"Hang on the roof?"
"Well, my subordinates are also surprised. I don't know where these corpses come from. And they are not fresh corpses. They are all mummified corpses. If I ask my subordinates to say, hey, they look a bit like dried bacon."
Li Luo took a breath of cold air, which disgusted the shrewd-looking Chinese cavalry soldier. He regarded the corpse as dried rations. The taste was really not ordinary. The corpse hanging upside down in the ancestral temple really looked like Dagan.
The scene of finding a good day in the countryside to dry grain, not to mention the distance, Mu Tianlang's rear army also often dried grain, but treating people like bacon is a bit scary no matter how you say it.
Qian Yi couldn't help but cursed: "Shut up, I'm really disgusting!"
The soldier scratched his head with a silly smile on his face. The soldier's unintentional words made Li Luo feel faintly uneasy. These mummies appeared out of thin air for no reason, let alone someone who deliberately performed tricks to impress everyone.
What a surprise. The mysterious sounds in the rainy night, the strange shadows at the bottom of the Linghe River, and these mummies. This ancient city is not as peaceful as it seems.
On the way back, Hu Lu Fenghan and a group of more than ten Caohai experts wanted to go to the ancestral temple to see what was going on. Apparently they also heard the news about the mummy, but Xiang Liuer did not come, and Xiao Shang had not seen him for many days.
Since entering the depths of the far north, Xiang Liuer has hidden this daughter very well, making it rare for ordinary people to see her.
"Your Highness, are you going back?" Hu Lu Fenghan was slightly surprised. He originally expected to meet him in the ancestral temple.
Li Luo nodded, exchanged a few words, and looked as usual. Hulu Fenghan's heart moved, and he asked suspiciously: "Has the prince seen it?"
"No."
Hu Lu Fenghan was startled, no? Why not? Li Luozhan smiled, "It's just that one more thing is worse than one less thing. There is weirdness everywhere in this ancient city. Most of the mummies are deceitful, so just pretend they are invisible."
"This..." Hu Lu Fenghan was speechless for a while, and Li Luo said goodbye and walked away.
After returning to the stone house, Li Luo immediately ordered Qian Yi and the generals to send orders to the officers and men in the camp to march immediately and leave the ancient city after the rain in the mountains dissipated. The generals took the order and left, but the army moved out, and there were tens of thousands at every turn.
He left as soon as he said so. All supplies, food, grass, etc. must be properly arranged. Otherwise, if the army does not move, the morale of the army will be dispersed.
There was still half an hour before the army set off, so Gu Lianglei took some time out of his busy schedule to cook him a bowl of rice porridge and asked him to drink it. Li Luo drank a few sips, put it on the table casually, and chatted with Gu Lianglei for a while.
Sentence. Compared with Su Xue and Rou Yue back then, Gu Lianglei's cooking skills are far different, and may not be better than his. This bowl of porridge does taste like clear soup and lack of water, but at least it is cooked carefully.
, he was not picky about food, so he planned to finish it. Suddenly, he looked at the porridge bowl and was slightly surprised, and his outstretched hand froze in the air. Gu Lianglei asked softly: "What's wrong?"
Li Luo looked at the porridge bowl, groaned, and pointed at the bowl. Gu Lianglei looked over attentively, and let out a light sigh, and saw ripples on the surface of the rice porridge, subtle and dense, and connected in a circle.
After a few breaths, it calmed down, and then faint traces appeared again. Li Luo's expression changed, he stood up and shouted: "Ying Feng, Qu Mo."
"The end will be here."
The two generals came quickly. Looking at Li Luo, whose face was a little heavy, they felt nervous and asked hurriedly: "General, what's wrong?"
"Listen carefully, I'm afraid this ancient city is going to change!"
The expressions of both Ying Feng and Ying Feng changed. They hurriedly left the stone house and led the army officers to set up listening stations everywhere in the ancient city. The technique of listening was originally used on Luye Naga Mountain and found the huge city in the heart of the mountain. Although it was far less magical than in ancient times.
The enemy's movements recorded in Yi Zhi can be heard eight hundred miles away, but if there is something mysterious under the ground, it can be a warning to some extent.
Soon, Ququmo sent back the news. Li Luo's prediction was correct. The Chinese army rode under the ancient city and heard an extremely complicated echo. Although it was difficult to rely on these echoes to discern what the situation was underground, it was generally impossible.
That's right, there is an extremely huge and deep space beneath this ancient city!
As soon as the news came back, everyone was shocked. The generals talked about it, wondering what kind of mystery was hidden under the ancient city, but no matter what it was, it was probably related to the mummies that suddenly appeared. No wonder there had been a heavy rain just now, and the rain was so violent.
It is rare to see it in a hundred years, but there is no accumulation of water in the city. At first, Li Luo thought that the ancient city was leaning on the Ling River, and the water would soon converge and flow into the Ling River. Now it seems that the flow into the Ling River is part of it, and I am afraid that the weird thing underground is also
Reason.
Just when Ying Feng was about to ask for an order to turn the ancient city upside down, Li Luo laughed and scolded him. He didn't know the depth of the underground. He even stayed away from the ancestral temple. Even if there were mountains of gold and silver buried under the ancient city, he couldn't arouse his interest.
It is best to leave this place of right and wrong.
Li Luo didn't want to cause trouble, so he was a bit unsatisfied by calling out the generals in the army. However, after all, they were all battle-hardened warriors. They knew how to advance and retreat, and were good at seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster. There were also some who were curious, and most of them were celebrating the New Year.
Sometimes I have to burn some paper money for them.
Seeing everyone rushing to urge the soldiers to set off, Li Luo also asked Qian Yi to go over and inform Xiang Liu'er. As for whether she had any intention of finding out what was going on beneath the ancient city, it was no longer her own business.
