There is a lone moon in the sky, as cold as a beauty's eyes, and its hazy light shines on the vast desert, as if it is covered with a thin layer of snow.
Except for Fang Weixiong who was on guard duty, everyone was awake.
Han Feng stood up, walked to the stone statue, and slowly walked around the stone statue a few times. Chu Jiangtian and Mo Changfeng didn't know what Han Feng was doing, and they were very surprised.
Han Feng found that this stone statue was very strange. It had empty eyes looking straight ahead, holding swords in both hands and stabbing straight ahead. This posture was absolutely different from Qin Shihuang's terracotta warriors.
"There is a solitary stone statue with such a strange posture. Could it mean something?" Han Feng looked in front of him. Behind the desolate Gobi was the black wind-eroded cliff. Naturally, there was nothing in the unobstructed Gobi, and it was impossible to hide anything.
The secret, Han Feng couldn't help but secretly speculate: "Is the secret on the cliff in front?...What do '4' and '2' mean?...Could they be numbers indicating distance?" Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind,
I couldn't help but be surprised.
"The era of Gaochang Kingdom should be about the late Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains. The ancients mostly used steps to calculate length, with five feet as one step. One foot in the Tang Dynasty was about 30.7 centimeters today, so one step at that time should be one and a half meters today.
About!" Han Feng estimated in his mind.
As the sky gradually grew brighter, Han Feng called Fang Weixiong back and asked him to start from where the stone statue stood, walk two hundred steps in the direction pointed by the tip of the sword, and take a closer look to verify his idea.
Fang Weixiong thought Han Feng was joking and said, "Boss, are you going to develop real estate here or engage in desert tourism?"
Chu Jiangtian and Mo Changfeng were both happy when they heard this.
Han Feng is the vice-captain of the "Cold Thorn Commando". Due to their special relationship with Han Feng, Fang Weixiong and the other three do not usually call him "captain", but call them "boss" when they open and close their mouths.
Han Feng didn't smile, looked at Fang Weixiong and said, "Do I seem to be joking with you?"
Fang Weixiong was so frightened that he quickly stopped and said, "Yes, I promise to complete the task!" Although he was tall and strong, he was as fierce as a bear in battle. In front of Han Feng, he was like a mouse meeting a cat.
Starting from where the stone statue stood, Fang Weixiong walked forward. He stopped after just two hundred steps. He turned around and shouted to Han Feng: "Report to the boss, after two hundred steps, the distance is 150 meters!" After many years of training, Fang Weixiong is right.
I am very confident. One step is 75 centimeters, which is absolutely standard.
Han Feng smiled and explained: "The ancients took one step as a step, and two feet as a step. Today's step is what the ancients called 'step'. The step in ancient times is actually what we call today's step."
Two steps, so you still have to walk two hundred steps forward!"
Fang Weixiong walked another two hundred steps as he was told, and almost hit the opposite cliff. He turned around and reported: "Boss, four hundred steps have been completed, the distance is three hundred meters! Please give instructions!"
Han Feng smiled. This number just confirmed his guess, and said: "Check the surrounding situation carefully! See what you find!" He called Chu Jiangtian and Mo Changfeng, "Come on, let's go take a look too!"
The four people separately inspected the rock wall in front of them. Due to the leeward wind, the weathering and erosion of the rock wall was not very serious.
After a while, Mo Changfeng, who was famous for his carefulness, suddenly shouted: "Boss, I have a situation here!"
Several people quickly gathered in front of Mo Changfeng. Following the direction of his finger, they saw a figure carved with a sharp tool in a hidden rock recess. The figure was dressed as a warrior from the Western Regions, and his expression and attire were almost exactly the same as the stone warrior.
, the only difference is that the warrior is holding the sword to the left. The image is very small, only slightly larger than a copper coin, and it is hidden in the shadows. If you are not particularly careful, it is impossible to spot it.
Han Feng laughed silently, then carefully checked the surrounding situation, but found no valuable clues, so he straightened up and said to the three companions beside him: "The target is to the left, four hundred steps away!"
Fang Weixiong was still in front, and the three people were behind. They walked 400 steps to the left. These 400 steps were almost more than 600 meters today.
There are many hills here, and residual rocks and fallen rocks can be seen everywhere. The terrain gradually becomes lower and lower. After walking 400 steps, the altitude is almost twenty meters lower than where the stone statue is.
Fang Weixiong stood at the end of the 400 steps, with a sunken mountain in front of him.
Han Feng concluded that this place should have been a very deep lake a long time ago, because the color of the rocks at the bottom of the hill was much darker than the top, which was clearly traces of water stains. The dark brown rocks were almost as high as two people, so they
Now I should be standing at the bottom of the lake.
With the previous experience, everyone's movements are much more proficient this time, and the speed is naturally faster.
Sure enough, after a while, Chu Jiangtian shouted: "Boss, we found it!"
Several people quickly gathered around. The light here was very dark. In the recess of a water-stained boulder, there was still a picture of a warrior from the Western Regions. However, the movement of the warrior holding the sword changed again: the sword was sheathed, and his hands were folded around his chest.
, smiling slightly, with an enigmatic expression.
"That's it!" After searching around for a long time, but with no results, Han Feng finally determined that the secret lies in this small picture. He turned on the small flashlight and observed the picture carefully. After a while, he smiled faintly.
.
He handed the small flashlight to Mo Changfeng beside him, pulled out the spur from his boot, turned the handle of the knife upside down, and pushed the "little warrior" hard. The "little warrior" suddenly recessed inward, and there was a "crush" sound.
There was a sudden sound. Everyone looked carefully and found that the entire boulder in front of them was slowly moving back, and finally a hole as high as a man appeared. It was so dark that nothing could be seen clearly.
He actually hid the entrance of the secret passage at the bottom of the lake. What a genius. Han Feng secretly admired it.
"Boss, I think you have switched to tomb robbing. You can actually discover such a secret!" Fang Weixiong's eyes widened.
Mo Changfeng and Chu Jiangtian felt the same way and nodded.
"It's a good idea! If I have time, I will consider it!" Han Feng said with a smile, dodged his body and got into the hole.
Under the weak light of a small flashlight, the scene inside the cave can be clearly seen. The huge boulder has retreated into the heart of the mountain on one side. In front of it is a deep passage with stone steps rising upwards step by step.
Han Feng signaled everyone to be careful and took the lead to walk inside along the stone steps.
Sometimes the passage is tortuous, sometimes straight, sometimes it rises to a certain height and then suddenly drops down. Most of the sections extend in a horizontal direction into the distance.
Han Feng estimated the distance. They had walked almost twenty kilometers in the tunnel. It was really a huge project. What was the use of such huge manpower and material resources?
Mo Changfeng, who was behind, suddenly whispered: "Boss, do you think this is a secret tunnel dug by Aisha? If the legend is true, then we can plunge into the 'City of Tana'!"
Fang Weixiong was startled, "No way? Even if the legend is true, the 'City of Tana' has been buried under dozens of meters of yellow sand. Aren't we digging our own graves by doing this?"
Han Feng said nothing. Chu Jiangtian smiled and said: "The boss is here, what are you afraid of?"
Human skeletons suddenly appeared in twos and threes in front of them, and the further they walked, the more withered bones were scattered around, some lying on the ground, some leaning against the wall, some tearing each other, some with broken necks and bones, strange Western scimitars and crossbows.
Broken arrows were thrown in a mess in the passage. It looked like a very tragic battle had taken place here.
No one said anything, and they groped forward cautiously.
At the end of the tunnel is a heavy stone door, weighing about eight or nine tons, which cannot be pushed open by human power alone.
Han Feng tapped the walls on both sides of the stone door with the hilt of his military thorn, and found a hollow echo from one place. He put away his military thorn and pushed the rock in question with his hand. The rock flipped over and a metal metal material appeared.
Turning the knob, Han Feng pulled the mechanism hard, a "quacking" sound sounded, and the stone door slowly opened.
What appeared in front of Han Feng's eyes was a hall so large that it was unbelievable. The columns, steps, and walls were all made of white marble. The floor was paved with water-polished gold tiles, which reflected people's shadows like mirrors. Twelve tiles.
Each marble pillar is so thick that it requires two people to hug it.
There is light in the hall, and one hundred and eight huge luminous pearls are embedded in the surrounding walls and the top of the hall.
The room is filled with hundreds of boxes and cabinets of various sizes and rows of gold storage racks. Under the soft light of the night pearl, the entire room's golden walls are brilliant, like a fairyland.
As soon as the three people behind them stepped into the hall, they were all stunned by the sight in front of them.
There is no doubt that this is the treasure house of "Tana City". Without opening the box to look, there are too many pearls, agates, diamonds, emeralds, etc. scattered on the ground outside to count.
Han Feng took a brief look and found that there were thirty rows of storage shelves in the main hall: the ten rows of shelves in the front were filled with exquisite ancient porcelain and coral trees of various sizes and magnificent colors; the ten rows of shelves in the middle were filled with
Antique calligraphy, paintings and rare antiques; on the ten rows of shelves at the back, there are stacks of radiant gold bricks.
Han Feng gently opened a box made of gold that was half a man's height. It was filled with sapphires the size of a fist, sparkling like jewels.
Opening another one, there was a whole box of cat's eyes, emeralds and bloodstones. Han Feng gently put down the lid of the box, looked at the countless treasure boxes, and smiled, "'Tana's Treasure' is really well-deserved.
!”
"Boss, keep driving!" Fang Weixiong came to his senses and urged Han Feng.
Han Feng did not speak. Suddenly, his expression became very strange. Just when Chu Jiangtian was about to open his mouth to ask, a strong vibration came, and even the main hall moved slightly.
"Earthquake?" This was Fang Weixiong's initial thought.
With his super sense, Han Feng quickly determined that it was caused by an explosion. Who else could openly use explosives to blast this place, besides terrorists and "Hell Butchers"?
Han Feng signaled everyone to get ready for battle. At this time, the only thing they could do was wait. The outside of the Treasure Pavilion was blocked by thick sand. Unless people from outside came in, Han Feng and the others would not be able to get out at all.
