Zhou Tugen told all the legends about the ghost city in detail. Yu Chen and the other two listened with great interest. Only Dong Xuan's eyes occasionally showed a trace of worry. Yu Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Unexpectedly, he was already so powerful. Dong Xuan, who is comparable to a saint, is actually afraid of ghosts and gods.
Zhou Tugen's house only has two rooms, one inner room and one outer room. Yu Chen originally wanted to let Zhou Tugen live in the inner room while the three of him stayed in the outer room for the night, but Zhou Tugen refused to say anything and insisted on letting Dong Xuan do this. The only woman slept in the inner room, and the three men spent the night outside.
Early the next morning, the three of them ate the porridge and rice prepared by Zhou Tugen and left Huangtou Village. Before leaving, Yu Chen took out three gold coins as food and accommodation expenses. This completely shocked Zhou Tugen. You know , even in a good harvest year, he can only earn more than one hundred silver coins, which is equivalent to a little more than one gold coin. But at this time, he only cares about three people, two meals and one night's stay, and he can actually get him. How could he not be surprised by the money he could earn in two years? However, after the surprise, he rejected this extremely lucrative income for him.
The reason why Yu Chen took out three gold coins was mainly because Yu Chen was definitely a good person from Zhou Tugen and talked a lot about the ghost city. This was more or less helpful to the three of them, at least it gave Yu Chen a certain understanding of the ghost city. Inferring, Yu Chen felt that he couldn't trouble others in vain, but apart from the currency notes and two amethyst coins, he only had three gold coins left. Yu Chen simply stopped doing nothing and took all three gold coins. Coming out, in Yu Chen's opinion, three gold coins was a very generous income for this poor man, but what he didn't expect was that the other party actually refused.
"I'm helping you, and I'm not letting you stay here just for money!" This is what Zhou Tugen said. Yu Chen didn't say anything, and took back the three gold coins with a smile. Only then did Zhou Tugen show a simple and honest smile with satisfaction, and turned to say goodbye to Lin Tianhua. , Yu Chen showed a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and while he was saying goodbye to Lin Tianhua, he secretly placed an amethyst coin under a bowl on the stove.
"I can see that he is sincere in not asking for anything in return, but I want to thank him sincerely! I hope he knows how to use that amethyst coin, maybe... this can change his life's destiny!" When Lin Tianhua asked Yu Chen why he put away the gold coins but secretly left an amethyst coin, Yu Chen replied like this. An amethyst coin is not worth mentioning to Yu Chen, but to ordinary people It is already a huge wealth. You must know that transactions between ordinary people are calculated in copper coins, and silver coins are rarely used. One amethyst coin is equivalent to one hundred gold coins. That is ten thousand silver coins and one million copper coins. Such wealth is naturally considered a huge amount!
…
"This is Stone City!" After leaving Huangtou Village, the three of them walked for less than half an hour before they saw a stone city in the distance. Although the area of the stone city was not large, it was not small. According to Yu Chen's visual inspection, the size of the stone city was I'm afraid it must be several thousand meters in diameter.
This stone city has existed for an unknown number of years. Times have changed, and it has experienced countless wars over the years. However, this stone city has never changed. There is not even a trace of wind erosion and lightning strikes. There is a saying that it is in the dark. , Stone City was cursed by the gods, and the powerful power of the curse protected Stone City from any damage. Some people also believe that the evil ghosts in the city used their magical powers to protect their territory, the "city ghost", from external erosion for hundreds of millions of years. Yu Chen certainly didn't believe these statements.
"Stop! Let's go in!" Yu Chen said, then showed a relaxed expression and said: "Since you have decided to enter Shicheng, don't hesitate and relax!"
"Haha! I didn't hesitate. I was just thinking that this stone city looks quite big. There must have been many people living there after it was built. I'm just curious about who they were!" Lin Tianhua laughed.
"No matter who lived there, they no longer exist now, let's go!" Yu Chen said with a smile. The first one walked forward, Lin Tianhua and Dong Xuan looked at each other and followed.
The architectural style of Shicheng is very strange, and it is different from all the known architectural styles on the mainland. Of course, this refers to the architectural style of human territory. As for the architectural styles of other civilizations, Yu Chen has never seen them.
Although Shicheng is not big, it is not small either, but the streets are very narrow, so narrow that even carriages may have difficulty passing through them, just like some alleys. Perhaps, they are not as wide as alleys! The three of Yu Chen walked side by side on the streets. It almost fills up a section of the street. Although the street is extremely narrow, the buildings on both sides are very large, and the houses and stores on both sides are all made of stone.
"That's not right! Yu Chen, look carefully at these buildings. They are not built for the city at all, they are more like sculptures!" Dong Xuan was the most attentive and was the first to discover the unusual features of the houses. Yu Chen and When Lin Tianhua heard this, he immediately stopped and looked carefully at the buildings on both sides. Only then did he realize that there was no gap in the entire building. Yu Chen almost subconsciously touched the wall of the building, and his tentacles were cold.
"Go in and have a look!" Yu Chen said. Then he walked towards the door on the left front. Yu Chen and the others entered a very quaint room. Although it had gone through countless years, neither the floor nor the unknown wood in the room was There was not even a trace of dust on the table, as if it had just been cleaned. Four black wooden chairs were placed around the table.
"I can't believe it! It's so clean!" Lin Tianhua said carelessly, reaching out and touching a black wooden chair. When he found that it was not dirty, he sat down on it.
"Get up! Don't touch things here casually!" Dong Xuan pulled Lin Tianhua, and the guy could only stand up. Yu Chen gently stroked the wall, as if he wanted to find some traces of the building, but Yu Chen Chen discovered that this house was really as Dong Xuan said just now, as if it were carved from a natural boulder and formed a whole. At this moment, Yu Chen suddenly realized a possibility and hurriedly said: "Let's go out !”
After Yu Chen ran out of the room, he looked directly at the ground at his feet, and then squatted in the corner. At first glance, his face showed an incredible look. Because Yu Chen discovered that these buildings were not built on the ground at all, but It grew directly on the ground! All the buildings and the ground seemed to be a whole! Lin Tianhua and Dong Xuan were both smart people, and they instantly understood why Yu Chen was surprised, and both of them looked incredulous.
"Let's go deeper and take a look!" Yu Chen said. At this time, the three of them had entered the stone city for only three or four hundred meters. Obviously, it was not even the outer perimeter of the stone city. Yu Chen planned to go inside and take a look. If the whole All the buildings in the stone city are grown on the ground, which is terrible, because it also means that the entire stone city is a whole. Who could have such a big hand to build such a unique stone city?
