Li Kangkai and Ma Tiexin relied on their unparalleled fighting spirit and domineering force to defeat the three hundred ghost soldiers in the ghost city. Just when they were about to capture the lord of the ghost city alive, they both lost their ability to fight with pain in their stomachs.
He was captured
The extremely angry Lord of the Ghost City did not immediately kill Li Kangkai and Ma Tiexin. In order to avenge his revenge, the Lord of the Ghost City decided to sacrifice the two alive. When the executioner's scimitar was about to cut their necks, Deng Long, Duan Yuxuan and the entire Ghost City
The old wizard Zhu, who had the highest status, appeared and rescued Li and Ma in time.
Under Ma Tiexin's desperate cover-up, Li Kangkai, carrying Deng Long and Duan Yuxuan on his back, finally escaped from the pursuers and entered the only mysterious left palace with red candles in the entire city.
Worried about Ma Tiexin's safety, Li Kangkai did not stay in the palace, leaving Duan Yuxuan to look after Deng Long who had entered sedation, and then killed him back
Duan Yuxuan leaned Deng Long against a large bluestone pillar in the palace and looked up and down. The whole palace was very quiet and there seemed to be no one there.
Through the bright light of many red candles, Duan Yuxuan picked up a bluestone polished vase in the palace and looked at it carefully. When Duan Yuxuan carefully considered the bluestone vase, Duan Yuxuan finally understood the texture of the bluestone and the polishing process.
Why do I feel a strange feeling when I see the strange characters on the stone pillars when I enter the large square in front of the palace?
The reason is very simple, because I have seen these characters. These characters are the ancient characters of an ancient people in the Western Regions. Many years ago, my grandfather visited an underground tomb in the northwest and saw such ancient characters and bluestone products.
The name of this ancient nation is the Guyue Clan. They are a sturdy nation from the Western Regions. The country they established is called the Guyue Kingdom. It was once a prosperous ancient Western Region country, but later, I don’t know why this ancient Western Region country disappeared overnight.
It has become a mystery in history
The god worshiped by Gu Yue Kingdom is a blue spiritual snake, which is why most of the places are engraved with big snakes.
Looking at the bluestone vase in his hand and everything here, Duan Yuxuan is almost certain that this is a certain city in the Gu Yue Kingdom. This disappeared city has become a ghost town, and everything here is just the ghosts in the city relying on the ghosts of their lifetimes.
An illusion created by the thoughts of memory and soul
Duan Yuxuan was very excited. He did not expect that this trip to Dunhuang, although he suffered a lot, did not expect that he would be able to see the disappeared ancient ghost town by accident. It must be said that it was also a kind of luck.
While Duan Yuxuan was rejoicing, a chill surged up behind him, and goosebumps suddenly appeared all over his body. Duan Yuxuan's brain instantly felt like it was exploding, and he was extremely frightened. As the descendant of the most outstanding tomb robber in China, Duan Yuxuan knew that this was probably a collision.
When the ghost ghost blows on you, as soon as you turn around, the ghost ghost will definitely suck your Yang Yuan.
Duan Yuxuan only felt a chill on his shoulders. He turned his face slightly and took a look. A thin, bone-like hand like a chicken's claw was placed on his shoulder. Duan Yuxuan squinted his eyes hard, and couldn't help but feel cold in his heart, secretly thinking.
: "My dear, are you going to be eaten by ghosts? Xiaolong, wake up quickly and save me!"
Due to fear, Duan Yuxuan couldn't even muster the strength to shout for a long time. A long sigh came out from behind him. Duan Yuxuan only felt a light on his shoulder, and the ghost hand had retracted from Duan Yuxuan's shoulder.
Duan Yuxuan slowly turned his head, and saw an old man with silver hair, dense wrinkles on his face, holding a green snake cane in his hand, and wearing a green robe, squinting, chanting something, and streams of green energy came from the palace.
Those big blue stone pillars with green snakes carved on them slowly rose up, washing Deng Long continuously, and soon they wrapped him into a giant cocoon of green energy.
"You! What are you doing? I tell you, you can't hurt me, Brother Deng!" Duan Yuxuan said tremblingly, holding a bluestone vase in both hands and facing the old man.
The old man ignored Duan Yuxuan and continued to recite the incantation. After a while, the green energy gradually began to flow from the giant cocoon back to the stone pillar. The old man stopped reciting the incantation, and the green energy on Deng Long completely disappeared.
When Deng Long entered samadhi, he felt a strong spiritual power entering his body, repairing the lost essence in his body and the body's ailments. After a while, Deng Long felt comfortable all over his body and his spirit was lifted.
"Here, where is this?" Deng Long opened his eyes, looked at the kind white-haired old man in front of him, and the palace filled with red candles, and asked
"Brother Deng, are you awake? Great!" Duan Yuxuan put down the bluestone vase in surprise and quickly helped Deng Long up.
"Amen Alabuda!" The silver-haired old man made a strange gesture and said to the two of them.
Deng Long and Duan Yuxuan looked at each other, not understanding what the old man was talking about.
"Xiao Duan, can you speak the ancient Western dialect or something like that?" Looking at the smiling old man, Deng Long tapped Duan Yuxuan beside him and asked.
"Let me think about it, I know a few ancient sayings!" Duan Yuxuan scratched his head and said
Duan Yuxuan gestured and changed eight commonly used sentences in ancient Western dialects. Unfortunately, the old man also looked confused and kept shaking his head.
"Who are you?" Deng Long became anxious and said an ancient saying.
Unexpectedly, he made a mistake. The old man's face instantly showed joy, and he stammered: "I...am...Crescent City Witch Zhu!"
"Xiao Duan, that's great. He can actually speak our ancient Chinese. This task is left to you!" Deng Long said happily. Deng Long didn't know anything about ancient Chinese. After all, Deng Long had no formal education and even knew him.
I have learned Chinese characters by myself since I was a child, so it is inevitable that I will not be able to communicate in classical Chinese.
Duan Yuxuan looked overjoyed and quickly communicated with Old Wu Zhu
It turns out that during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian was on an envoy to the Western Regions and had friendly exchanges with other countries in the Western Regions. This Western Han official language became a necessary language for the countries in the Western Regions. At that time, various countries in the Western Regions sent ambassadors to Chang'an to study Western Han culture. At the same time, the ancient Western Han language
It has also been left behind in some countries in the Western Regions, so Wu Zhu in Crescent City of the Ancient Moon Kingdom can understand ancient Chinese.
Duan Yuxuan and Old Wu Zhu exchanged words while gesticulating. Deng Long was confused and just leaned on the big blue stone pillar to regain his composure. Old Wu Zhu sometimes raised his voice and cursed something, and sometimes shed tears in a low voice.
, which made Deng Long very confused.
After a long time, Duan Yuxuan walked up to Deng Long with a gloomy expression and said, "Brother Deng, everything is clear!"
"Talk about it!" Deng Long took out a cigarette from his pocket, patted it twice on his palm, raised his head and said
It turns out that the Ancient Moon Kingdom was once very prosperous. At its most prosperous, there were more than twenty cities, but it gradually declined. By the time the last generation of Ancient Kings (the honorific title of the King of the Ancient Moon Kingdom) had less than ten cities left,
The last ancient king was cruel and extravagant, built a lot of construction projects, and cut down all the trees in the entire Gula Mountain (ancient name). At that time, many green snakes on the mountain, which were the symbols of their Gula god, all scurried down the mountain and bit people and animals. The people of the Ancient Moon Kingdom said this.
It was a bad symbol. God Gula was angry. Countless people and officials of the ancient country asked the ancient king for orders to stop rebuilding the palace. However, the ancient king not only refused to obey, but also killed many officials and people.
On the night when the palace was built, the ancient king ordered all the major cities in the ancient country to stay up all night to celebrate the founding of the new palace. However, a terrible thing happened. The ancient king's perverse behavior finally attracted the revenge of God Gula. Overnight,
The sky-wide yellow sand rose up from Gula Mountain, completely burying the Ancient Moon Kingdom under the yellow sand. This ancient country just disappeared.
All the people of Crescent City were forced to gather outside the main palace square that night to celebrate the completion of the palace. When the yellow sand suddenly attacked in the dark night, the poor people of Crescent City were buried inexplicably.
Got it
After these people died, they kept repeating the grand event that night. No one believed or knew that they were dead. They relied on their own thoughts to form a ghost town.
After listening to Duan Yuxuan's narration, Deng Long took a long breath of smoke and said, "There is no curse. It's just that the king cut down all the trees on Gula Mountain that blocked the wind and sand. The wind blew up the sand in the desert on the other side of the mountain.
It buried the Gu Yue Kingdom. Many ancient countries in the Western Regions perished due to this reason in history."
Duan Yuxuan nodded and said: "It is indeed the reason, but the people would rather believe that King Gula died from the curse of God Gula, just like our powerful ghost witch Zhu, who still believes that it was because of the curse.
"
Deng Long put out the cigarette that was burning to the butt, stood up, and suddenly said in a hurry: "Old Ma, where is Old Li? I remember, weren't they fighting the ghost soldiers?"
Duan Yuxuan slapped his forehead and jumped to say: "No, Lao Ma was surrounded by ghost soldiers. Brother Li went to rescue him. He hasn't come back for so long. Maybe..."
"This is terrible. If something happens to Lao Li and Lao Li, I will never forgive myself in my life!" Deng Long stood up and hurriedly walked outside.
"Brother Deng, wait a minute. Old Wu Zhu has a very high status in this city. Without him, we can't get past the hundreds of ghost soldiers outside." Duan Yuxuan pulled Deng Long and said
Deng Long stopped and secretly thought that he was in too much haste, and then said: "Okay, you talk to Lao Wu Zhu and ask him to go out with us to rescue Lao Li and the others."
When Deng Long rushed to the palace to rescue Li Kangkai and Ma Tiexin, the old witch Zhu used the blood of Li Kangkai and Ma Tiexin to make a sharp contrast with the black smoke of the city lord, proving that the entire Ancient Moon Kingdom had long been destroyed, and the entire Crescent City had been destroyed.
, all the people have become ghosts, and all the people of Crescent City cried bitterly.
They finally understood that they were living in an illusion. Their country and city had long since died, and even they were the withered bones of a thousand years ago. All the ghosts were in pain, and their thoughts were all annihilated in an instant.
All ghosts turn into smoke
After all the ghosts dispersed their resentment and turned into black smoke, the entire ghost town was completely destroyed.
I was on the train for three days on June, July and August, and the three thousand was updated in advance every day. I was in a rush, so I hope everyone can understand!!
