Chapter 16 The Black Tower Scare
The black tower in front of our eyes, let all of us for a shock, perhaps in today's technology, want to build a high building is not difficult, but in more than two thousand years ago, it should not be an easy task.
I approached the black tower, and tried to gently touch the black stone used to build the tower with my hand, which was cold to the bone, and upon closer inspection, I realized that this black stone should be a kind of rare metal ore, similar to ilmenite.
But we drove all the way here and did not see this kind of stone in any place, into the desert is surrounded by a sea of sand, so a thousand years ago they are from where to get such rare ilmenite raw stone it?
"What's wrong? What's wrong with these black stones?" Uncle Lai came over and asked me when he saw me touching the wall without saying anything for half a day.
I looked back at him and said with uncertainty, "These black stones are a kind of rare ore similar to ilmenite, but I'm not sure what exactly it is." After saying this, I raised my left hand close to the wall, only to see the mechanical watch on my wrist unexpectedly running at a rapid speed.
Uncle Lai also took out his compass and turned around, and then said to us with a serious face, "The magnetic field here is not right, my compass is out of order here!"
I heard the busy head to look at the compass in Uncle Li's hand, only to see the compass needle and my watch is rotating as fast as ......
At this time Luo Hai came over, also touched the stone with his hand, and then frowned: "These black stones are very much like a kind of heavenly foreign stone that I have seen in my early years."
"Heavenly foreign stone? What kind of stone is it?" I said curiously.
Luo Hai tilted his head and looked at the tower and said, "It's actually a type of meteorite, it's also black, and it's biggest feature is that it can change the nearby magnetic field."
Zhao Qiang heard the conversation between the three of us, and was also particularly interested in these black stones, he kept taking pictures with his camera, and as he did so, he also said, "This is a major discovery, if we bring these pictures back, it will definitely cause quite a stir in the archaeological world!"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Ziping said with a look of disdain, "The archaeological community? This is really ridiculous, may I ask which one of you here is from the archaeological community?"
I could hear the acidity in Liu Ziping's words, it seems that the "grave robbers" and "archaeology" are really incompatible!
Zhao Qiang didn't expect that his occasional sentiment had attracted Liu Ziping's snarky comment, and his face was a bit unsettled. He just wanted to retort a few words, but was stopped by Uncle Li, "Well, let's go in and look for water! If there is no water source, even if you find a mountain of gold, it will only be used as our funeral pyre!"
As soon as they saw Uncle Lai's bad face, they immediately all shut up and didn't say anything.
After that, a few of us circled around the black tower, and finally found the entrance to the tower directly to the north.
It was an arched black wooden door with two stone door rings carved with mysterious totems hanging on it. Luo Hai was the first to walk forward and pushed inward with force, the wooden door was thick and heavy, at first push, the wooden door only slightly opened a small gap, Liu Zi Ping saw the situation and also came to help, the door was slowly opened under the combined efforts of the two people.
Open the door of a moment, a smell of corruption to the face, Uncle Lai immediately pulled us away from a few said: "The air here is closed for a thousand years, let's spread out to let the air inside the circulation, so as not to have any harmful gases are inhaled by us."
Everyone heard all quickly flashed to the side, while I was attracted by the darkness in the door, there seems to be something crying inside ...... right, it is a woman crying sadly.
Uncle Lai saw me standing in the doorway like that stupidly, and did not move to the ground, so he came back and prepared to pull me away, but he saw that I looked different, so he asked nervously, "What? Something weird inside?"
I looked at him somewhat blankly, and then whispered, "I'm not quite sure what's inside, in short, it makes me feel not so good."
Uncle Lai heard this and immediately asked me, "Is it possible that what's inside is someone who disappeared back then?"
I turned my head and continued to stare into the darkness of the door, then said thoughtfully, "I don't know, but that person should have walked into this before he died."
After half an hour, Luo Hai carefully tested the doorway and said, "It's okay, the dead air that has been uncirculated inside for a long time should have pretty much dispersed."
At this time, Zhao Qiang took out a fluorescent stick from his backpack, broke it and threw it into the door with force ...... The sound of the fluorescent stick falling to the ground was a bit empty, and there should be a lot of space inside. Maybe it is the reason of occupation, Luo Hai and Liu Ziping are the first to walk in, while Ye Zhiqiu is obviously not so much too want to go in ......
I'm a person who has always been fond of pity, so I walked to Ye Zhiqiu's side and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Scared?"
Ye Zhiqiu blushed and looked at the darkness in the door and said, "Although this ancient city inside all have more than two thousand years of history, but this outside at least can still see the sky, and this inside ......"
"Don't worry, there are not we well, the sky has collapsed and we have these big men at the top of it, don't be afraid!" I said while revealing the signature smile that used to tease girls in school.
Behind the Ding Yi see me and Ye Zhiqiu blocked in front of him late into, can't wait to go in first, I look at the outside is only left me and Ye Zhiqiu, then busy pulling her also fast pace to follow the in ......
Inside really and I think the same, the space is quite large, a walk into is an empty hall, through the fluorescent rod issued by the green light, you can see the hall of the ground are also with the kind of black loss of stone paved, people stand on the feeling of the feet have gusts of coldness upward surging ......
"It's so cold in here!" Ye Zhiqiu hugged his shoulders and said.
"This is normal, after all, this place has been more than two thousand years without a single ray of sunlight shining in, it must be a bit heavier in Yin Qi, in short, everyone be more careful, especially pay attention to your feet." Uncle Lai said as he shone his wolf-eye flashlight on the area beyond the reach of the fluorescent stick.
Luo Hai also shone his flashlight around as if he was looking for something ...... Suddenly, he looked at Liu Ziping and then raised his hand to point to a corner in the west. Liu Ziping immediately understood what he meant, and busily took out a lighter from his body and walked towards the direction Luo Hai pointed.
I also looked in that direction and realized that there was an oddly shaped lampstand there. Liu Ziping walked over and lit the wick, and then I heard "Boom! Boom!" A few sounds, but at the same time lit up the other lamps in the hall.
Instantly, the whole space became brightly lit, is everyone was attracted by this scene, marveled at this light organs cleverly designed, just listen to my side of the Ye Zhiqiu suddenly let out a cry of alarm, "ah ...... who, who is there?"
This sound can be a big deal, this place is empty, speak all have echo, and Ye Zhiqiu stand from me the nearest, she suddenly so called, scared me instinctively to Ding Yi behind to hide.
In fact, not only me, I guess everyone present was scared by her, but only Ding Yi was very calm and did not move.
Everyone turned to look at Ye Zhiqiu, only to see her face turning blue, her lips trembling, and one finger pointing to the east side of the hall, unable to speak for half a day. Everyone immediately looked at the direction of her finger, and then we all saw an incomparably bizarre and horrifying scene ...... Just see the hall's due east position is sitting on a person!
It was a woman, a woman wearing a big red wedding dress.
