Chapter 959: The Temple
The scale of this exquisite city is enough to live 50,000 or 60,000 people, and famous cities such as Loulan in those days, in their heyday, were only 10,000 or 20,000 residents and more than 3,000 troops.
The city has largely been ruined, buried in the desert for more than a thousand years, some parts are difficult to distinguish between sand dunes and fortresses, and most of the towers have collapsed and weathered.
The distance from the mountain pass to the ancient city is very close, more than half an hour to the city gate, the city gate has long collapsed, the ditch in front of the city has also been filled with yellow sand, the army from the city wall remnants into the city, the surrounding ruins are dead silence.
Luo Lao was a little disappointed, this was very different from his previous imagination, the streets and houses in the city were either collapsed or dilapidated.
From a distance, I think it's okay, quite a bit of scale momentum, to follow the inside of the look, there is nothing, all sand and rotten wood, broken stones, only a few broken, vermilion paint has long peeled off the huge wooden pillars and beams, you can also get a glimpse of the luxurious atmosphere in the city in the past.
Luo Lao Wei didn't mention anything about going to the palace for breakfast, and asked Ouyang Fei directly, "Brother Ou, where is the entrance to the tomb of the Exquisite Queen?"
Ouyang Fei smiled slightly, and said: "Don't worry, you just follow me, camels can't enter the underground palace, when you get to the entrance of the underground palace in a while, you send some brothers to guard outside! Try to ensure that one person is responsible for one camel, and it is not suitable for too many people to enter the underground palace." ”
Luo Lao tilted his head and said, "Okay." ”
Ouyang Fei led a large army to the southeast corner of the Exquisite Ancient City, and a moment later, the stone temple made of Zagrama black stone, which was much higher than ordinary houses, appeared in front of everyone.
The stone gate was built to look like a giant beast with its mouth wide open, and a large amount of yellow sand was piled up at the doorway, blocking the entrance.
Ouyang Fei turned back to Luo Lao and said crookedly: "Luo Shuai, the entrance is here, let the brothers clean up the sand at the door!"
"Yes. Hearing that they had arrived at their destination, whether it was Luo Lao, Chen Yulou and others, or soldiers and other people, they were all excited.
One by one, they were full of energy, only one platoon of people came out, and the entrance to the temple was cleaned up after three strokes and five divisions by two, Ouyang Fei lifted his mana, waved his hand and cast a whirlwind spell on the temple to ventilate, and half an hour later, Ouyang Fei led everyone into the temple.
After passing through a section of the road, you will arrive at a spacious stone hall, the stone hall is very large, and there are 2816 huge stone pillars on the left and right.
There is a jade eyeball enshrined on the ground in the deepest part of the hall, and there are naturally formed red silk and blue pupils in the jade.
Next to the jade eyeball, there is a strangely shaped jade pendant, and at the top of the eyeball, there is a groove of the same shape, obviously, the jade pendant is one with the eyeball.
Not surprisingly, the piece of jade pendant was taken away by the bandits, and finally fell into the hands of Wang Fatzi.
Others didn't notice, Ouyang Fei and the others naturally didn't notice it, above the stone platform where jade eyeballs were enshrined, there was an eye-shaped pattern.
Ouyang Fei and the others all knew that it was a mysterious formation connecting the heterotopic plane, and if someone who didn't know why rashly stuck the jade pecard into the jade eyeball, the formation would be activated and the black-eyed alien snake would be summoned.
Partridge Whistle looked at the jade eyeball in a daze, her eyes were very complicated, but Hua Ling had already asked, "Senior brother, what is that eyeball...... Why do you look so much like a bead of dust?"
The partridge whistle nodded silently, reached into his arms, took out the dust beads, and Luo Lao Crooked beside him looked at Chen Yulou fixedly.
Sure enough, the dust beads in the partridge whistle's hand and the jade eyeballs were exactly the same shape, but the jade eyeballs were much larger.
Chen Yulou looked at the jade eyeball thoughtfully, and said, "Could it be that the jade eyeball is also a piece of phoenix gall?"
Ouyang Fei shook his head with a smile and said, "Naturally it can't be, it's just the same shape, the Zagrama clan believes in eyes, and all their sacrificial vessels are like this." ”
"Grandma's, even if it's not a big dust bead, this jade is estimated to be able to change the equipment of a regiment. Luo Lao was secretly speechless, and he was going to go up and move the jade.
Ouyang Fei stopped him and said, "Don't act rashly, Luo Shuai, that jade can't be moved." ”
Luo Lao said incomprehensibly: "Why? That thing is priceless at first glance, since you have encountered it, how can you not take it?"
Ou Jingyan thought for a while and said to Ouyang Fei: "Brother, if you don't move those eyeballs, it's just that troublesome, in fact, I think that black-eyed snake is not much trouble for us." ”
"The black-eyed snake is afraid of light and fire, even if the formation is activated and the black-eyed snake is summoned, we will destroy it casually. ”
Ouyang Fei thought about it, but it was just a little more difficult, so he bowed his head and said, "Okay then! Luo Shuai, Brother Chen, you let the brothers retreat one after another." ”
"This jade eyeball is the eye of a formation, as long as you put the jade pendant next to that eyeball into it, it will activate the formation and summon a large number of the kind of strange snakes I told you about outside the valley. ”
When Luo Lao Wei and the others heard this, they understood why Ouyang Fei didn't let him move the jade, Chen Yulou asked while looking around, "Brother Ou, where is that formation?"
Ouyang Fei pointed to the roof, everyone looked up in unison, and the beam of the flashlight also shot to the roof, and sure enough, he saw the shape of an eye in the middle, and there were many mysterious runes carved around it.
The ghost cave text was even more like a ghost drawing talisman than the tadpole script, and they naturally regarded the ghost cave text as a rune.
Knowing that what Ouyang Fei said was true, Luo Lao Crooked and Chen Yulou immediately ordered their subordinates to retreat into the Yongdao, while they stood at the Yongdao crossing to watch.
Let Ou Huamin and them get ready, Ouyang Fei stepped forward alone, pressed the jade pendant into the jade eyeball, and the eyeball that was originally firmly fixed on the stone platform flickered and rolled away from the previously fixed position.
Ouyang Fei picked up the jade eyeball, retreated quickly, and threw it to Luo Lao Crooked, "Luo Shuai take it, one of your regiment equipment." ”
"Ouch, my half-immortal brother, you can take it easy. Luo Lao seemed to be in a hurry, but in fact, he caught the jade eyeball steadily, and his mouth was grinning to the back of his ear.
Luo Lao crooked his hand and rubbed his hand on the jade eyeball, the movement was so gentle that it seemed to caress his aunt's wife, and he couldn't help but praise with joy in his mouth: "Good baby, really good baby......
Chen Yulou, Partridge Whistle and the others didn't care about it at this time, because just as the jade eyeball rolled away from the place, the pattern on the ceiling really changed.
The eyeballs and the runes around them seemed to come to life, and those runes swam around, and after a while, they disappeared, and the surrounding circles turned into deep darkness.
The pattern of the eye was like a real eyeball, bloodshot, and flashing with a strange light, and it was as if it were staring at them as if it were staring at them.
As soon as the flashlight shone on it, the pillar of light seemed to be engulfed in darkness, and the rest of the roof was pitch black except for the huge red eyeball, and nothing could be seen.
I saw that the giant eye turned in mid-air, and the next moment, it suddenly fell.
This time, Chen Yulou and they finally saw clearly, although this thing looked like an eyeball, it was actually a translucent ball of flesh, the outside was full of blue-white substance, and a large black thing was wrapped in the middle.
