Chapter Thirty-Seven Before and After the Three O'Clock
Liu Dong's words stunned everyone present, including Smith. However, he quickly walked to Liu Dong's side, stretched out his hand and patted Liu Dong's shoulder vigorously, and said excitedly:
"Mr. Liu, I didn't expect that we are all the descendants of the victims of that mysterious incident. I hope to work with you to solve the mystery of this ancient human being."
Liu Dong smiled awkwardly, and then nodded.
At this time, Minister An suddenly said categorically: "No! Smith, when we leave the "City of Time" after dawn, you must break up with us. I will send someone to take you out of the desert and accept the punishment of our country's laws. Because you entered the country illegally.
, and also attempted to steal unknown prehistoric creatures belonging to China."
Then he turned to Instructor Shui and said: "Instructor Shui, ask your subordinates to supervise him, and arrange for someone to take him out of the desert after leaving the city at dawn."
Before Instructor Shui could agree, Smith waved his hands and said: "Nonono, I will never leave this desert. I have no ill intentions. I just want to find out the truth about my father's death and fulfill my father's last wish - to unravel the mystery of this mysterious creature."
secret."
Minister An said expressionlessly: "Absolutely not!"
Liu Dong suddenly sneered and interjected: "An Tong! Your selfish desires are too strong? I know that what you are afraid of when leaving Smith is that he will reveal the truth about the Seven-Star Civilization and the "City of Time" to the public, and you will not be able to let it go.
Do you have exclusive credit for the discovery and scientific research of the Seven-Star Civilization?"
Minister An's face changed greatly and he pointed at Liu Dong and said: "You... you... you are talking nonsense. I have no such selfish motives, I... I just don't want to be part of the discovery of China's magical prehistoric civilization.
If a foreigner illegally enters the country, he is not of my race and must have different intentions! Who knows what he will do? Liu Dong, can you take responsibility?"
Liu Dong looked at Minister An sarcastically and said: "An Tong, only you know your true thoughts. You also know what purpose you have for this scientific expedition."
Hearing what Liu Dong said, Minister An suddenly became very excited and pointed at Liu Dong just to say something else. Smith quickly waved his hand to interrupt the argument between the two people and said: "Two gentlemen, please stop arguing. Dear Mr. An, please let me
Tell me the reason why I stay, and then you can decide whether I can continue to explore the Seven-Star Civilization with you, okay?"
Minister An stared at Liu Dong with blood-red eyes, while Liu Dong calmly looked at the emotional Minister An, smiled coldly, turned around and stopped looking at Minister An and stopped talking.
Everyone nearby quickly tried to smooth things over. Dr. Lin pulled Minister An, who was still glaring at Liu Dong, and said softly: "Minister, let's first listen to the reasons given by Mr. Smith from the United States."
Minister An took his eyes away from Liu Dong's body bitterly, looked at Smith with a frosty face and said: "Then tell me, I hope your lies can be more touching. But, I tell you, no matter what you say,
It’s useless. I won’t trust you, let alone allow you to join our scientific expedition team.”
Smith smiled with an unusually calm expression, and then said confidently: "Dear Ann, I believe that after what I say, you will agree to join me in this scientific expedition."
Minister An snorted coldly from his nose and said nothing. Smith continued: "In my father's notes, there is a considerable space about a magical ancient civilization in this desert, that is, in the ancient Yuansha
The seven-star civilization recorded in the ancient scrolls, but in addition to those contents recorded in the ancient scrolls, there are also some other descriptions."
Having said this, he paused slightly, and then looked at Minister An. When Minister An heard this, he looked at Smith strangely, as if he was guessing what Smith wanted to say. Smith smiled, a little
He shook his head proudly and continued: "In my father's records, they...oh, that is, those research experts including Liu Dong's father not only discovered the one-eyed ancient life, but also entered the Seven Star Civilization
There are several castles covered by yellow sand, including the ancient city of Qiuci, which has been recorded in Chinese history, and even the ancient city of Baixiang and Shalang, which have never been recorded in Chinese history. And in my father's
In the notes, there is a map that roughly depicts the specific directions of these ancient cities with lines. Mr. Liu, I don’t know if your father recorded this, but my father was one of the leaders of the scientific expedition at that time.
The notes are all the essence of that mysterious scientific expedition."
At this time, a mysterious and weird smile appeared on Liu Dong's face. He looked at Smith with strange eyes and nodded: "Yes, my father recorded the process of that incident and also mentioned these ancient cities, but...
No map."
Smith looked at Minister An with a smile and said: "Dear An, I believe that if we have this map, it will definitely guide us to discover the secrets of the entire seven-star civilization. And I happen to have this map."
At this time, Minister An seemed to see something extremely strange from his expression. The muscles on his face were slightly twitching, but he did not answer Smith, but looked at Liu Dong.
I saw that Liu Dong seemed a little uncomfortable being looked at by Minister An. He smiled sarcastically, and then said, "An Tong, why are you staring at me?"
Minister An said word by word: "Liu Dong, you have entered Jingjue Ancient City before, yes!"
Liu Dong twisted his head and avoided Minister An's sharp eyes. Minister An continued to ask: "Liu Dong, you also know the directions of these ancient cities. Your father also has the location maps of these ancient cities, right?"
Liu Dong finally couldn't bear it and said: "An Tong, don't be aggressive. I have entered Jingjue Ancient City, and my father did record the location of Jingjue Ancient City, but there is no map. Regarding the locations of several other ancient cities,
, my father has no records, only sporadic descriptions of ancient cities. Because, my father was not a big shot in the scientific expedition team, just a staff member. I can only prove one thing, Smith's words are true, the existence of those ancient cities
It’s also true.”
Minister An continued to stare at Liu Dong with twinkling eyes. At this time, Smith said: "Dear An, I promise you, I will fully cooperate with you to find all the ancient cities of the Seven Star Civilization. When this scientific research on the Seven Star Civilization is over,
I will voluntarily surrender to the Chinese government and accept the punishment for this illegal entry. And I promise that I will never leak any of the contents of this scientific expedition in my life. OK?"
Minister An turned his face to Smith, and his expression slowly calmed down. After a long time, he took a deep breath, and then said: "Okay! As long as you can tell everything you know without reservation, use
Your father's records have found and revealed the secrets of the seven-star prehistoric civilization, and I guarantee that you will be treated fairly. However, I solemnly state that all the secrets hidden in this desert belong to China. You should know,
You have to keep everything here secret for the rest of your life."
Smith spread his hands and said with an unusually relaxed expression: "There is absolutely no problem. I can swear to Jesus. I said that during this trip to China, I just want to solve the mystery that my father failed to reveal to comfort me.
's father."
Minister An nodded and said: "I hope you didn't deceive us..."
At this moment, a loud bell suddenly rang, and everyone was shocked. Then they heard Jiao Yiming, who had been guarding the exit with a torch, shouted in surprise: "The mummy has retreated!"
Everyone hurriedly gathered around after hearing this, and sure enough, the roaring sounds of the mummies below the exit were heard from near to far, apparently retreating downwards. Minister An said with a happy face: "The ancient scrolls are correct, the three
At the sound of o'clock, the corpses will return to their hibernating nests. After a while, we can go down and leave this ghost place."
At this moment, everyone finally began to feel a lot more relaxed. At this moment, Fei Fan's exclamation led everyone to the edge of the top of the Temple of Time: "Come here, everyone, there are so many damn things."
!”
We all ran over quickly, and when we saw the square below where Fei Yifan pointed his fingers, everyone trembled. We saw a flood of one-eyed mummies swarming from the temple in the square of the Temple of Time.
They came out and ran around. The entire square and the several passages extending from the square were instantly filled with these weird and evil creatures.
Finally, after nearly ten minutes, there were no more mummies pouring out of the temple, and the ghosts in the square gradually became sparse. We all breathed a sigh of relief. Minister An murmured: "These one-eyed creatures, I'm afraid
Tens of thousands? It’s too scary. If they really absorb the energy of the "Time Pill" after seven days and seven nights of dormancy and enter the human world, then... it will definitely be a huge disaster."
Minister An's words made us all shiver. The timid Professor Qiu quickly said: "Let's leave here quickly and find a way to eliminate these evil creatures."
Minister An nodded, and then said: "These mummies are dormant. We can now go down to the Temple of Time, but everyone must be careful. I don't know what the God of Time is, although it is recorded in the ancient scrolls that it will also enter
It reaches a meditative state where the six senses are unknown, but no one can guarantee that what is recorded in the ancient scrolls is true."
Everyone nodded, Smith volunteered to walk at the front, and we all followed closely behind, descending from the exit to the spiral staircase one by one.
Following the spiral staircase, we entered the Temple of Time again. The departure of all the mummies made the temple extremely peaceful, but the presence of the God of Time still made everyone feel nervous. No one knew about that thing.
What does it look like, where is it now, and will it attack us?
Everyone carefully walked down the spiral staircase, and the entire main hall of the temple came into our sight. The strange thing is that the huge black hanging stone that was originally in the center of the hall has disappeared, and only the triangular white stone platform is still quiet.
There is a large cyan cauldron that once gave us all great fright.
Looking at the big cauldron, everyone stopped subconsciously. No one knew whether there was still the strange seven-eyed monster baby in the cauldron, let alone whether the seven-eyed monster baby in the cauldron had transformed into the God of Time.
.Everyone hesitated to move forward. The silent Qingding has long become a nightmare for all of us.
