Chapter 26 Xiye Ancient City, the plot has changed?

Chapter 26 Xiye Ancient City, the plot has changed?

The moon rises and sets, and the stars move!
Night falls, and the desert sky is full of stars!
The stars are twinkling in the sky.

Compared to the short lifespan of human beings, the stars are eternal.

"Let's go!"

Shirley Yang and Jiang Hua were both resting in high spirits. They put things like tents back into the storage space and set off towards Xiye Ancient City.

"How long will it take us to reach Xiye Ancient City?"

Shirley Yang took a map and carefully identified the direction on the ground. Unfortunately, she was not familiar with the desert and was even a little confused about where they were.

At this moment, the two began to miss Anliman.

Shirley Yang sighed, "I don't know either. Let's go southwest. As long as we keep going, we will definitely reach Xiye Ancient City."

Jiang Hua glanced toward the southwest sky, sighed, and felt helpless.

Suddenly, he was stunned for a moment.

He took out a compass from the storage space, looked up at the sky from time to time, and fell into deep thought.

"Jiang Hua, what's wrong?"

Shirley Yang saw this scene and couldn't help but walk over and ask.

"Looking at the formation of the stars, there must be a big tomb ahead, and it is not far away from us. If I am not mistaken, there is the legendary Xiye Ancient City!"

Shirley Yang showed joy at first, but then she looked a little suspicious, "Is this Tianxing Feng Shui? How do you know it?"

"Didn't I tell you?" Jiang Hua was stunned.

"Did you tell me?" Shirley Yang rolled her eyes. Is this guy confused?
"It seems that there is no ..."

Jiang Hua scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "It's inherited from my ancestors, it's inherited from my ancestors..."

Shirley Yang: “…”

You have a lot of ancestral things!
"Let's go quickly. The teacher and the others are probably waiting for us in Xiye Ancient City." Jiang Hua said hurriedly.

"Well, I'm just afraid that Hu Bayi and the others will refuse to go to Jingjue Ancient City after seeing me 'dead'."

Jiang Hua smiled and said, "Don't worry, they won't. They don't have much water left. Even if they don't go to Jingjue Ancient City, they must go to Xiye Ancient City to replenish their water supply, otherwise they won't be able to get out of this desert."

……

As the saying goes, "A horse will die if it runs high up the mountain!"

According to the guidance of Tianxing Fengshui, it seemed that the ancient city of Xiye was just around the corner, but Jiang Hua and Shirley Yang walked for a whole night.

When the sky just got light, a set of ruins finally appeared before their eyes.

“Phew~ We’re finally here!”

Jiang Hua breathed a sigh of relief. He had been walking for a whole night, and even though he was a warrior, he felt exhausted.

"Let's go find the teachers."

"Yeah." Shirley Yang nodded.

In this ancient city of Xiye, countless ruins are exposed on the ground, and only broken stones and ruins of houses are left, revealing a sense of coldness and loneliness.

After searching for a while, the two finally found the archaeological team in the center of Xiye Ancient City.

At this time, the camel was tied aside.

Anliman was lying on the blanket, smoking a pipe and looking at the sky leisurely.

Jiang Hua looked around but did not see Professor Chen. There was only Chu Jian, who was anxiously standing beside an ancient well.

Jiang Hua suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Chu Jian, where are the teachers?"

Chu Jian turned his head and took a look, and was so scared that he took several steps back with fear in his eyes.

"You, you, are you human or ghost? Aren't you dead?"

Jiang Hua explained: "We didn't die, we just accidentally fell into the underground of that ancient city. After searching for a few days, we finally found the exit."

"Why are you the only one here? Where are the teacher and Hu Bayi and the others?"

It took Chu Jian a long time to finally believe that Jiang Hua and the others were not ghosts but real people.

He said quickly, "Brother Jiang, yesterday Hu Bayi used the Tianxing Fengshui technique to discover a tomb under the ancient well, so the teachers discussed going down to take a look. Unexpectedly, no news has been received since they went down to the tomb."

Jiang Hua's face changed.

"Chu Jian, how long have the teachers been down there?"

"It's been more than ten hours. I called them from the well but there was no response. Brother Jiang, could something have happened to the teachers?" Jiang Hua's heart gradually sank.

More than ten hours passed without any response.

They must have encountered something.

But he remembered that in the original book, there was no danger under the well in the ancient city of Xiye?
Could it be the parallel world effect, has everything changed?

At this point, there was no point in waiting any longer, he had to go down and take a look.

"Chu Jian, don't worry, Shirley and I will go downstairs to find the teachers."

Chu Jian quickly said, "Brother Jiang, I'll go down with you too."

"No, there must be someone up there to take over, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with anything that happens."

"OK then."

After listening to this, Chu Jian could only nod helplessly.

"Shirley, let's go down."

The two tied the rope and began to slowly descend to the bottom of the well with the help of Chu Jian.

Finally, Jiang Hua and his team found a hole in the well. The hole was located on the wall of the well. At this time, the hole was still open and looked pitch black. A cold wind came out of the hole.

"Shirley, let's be careful."

The two continued walking along the passage. The surrounding walls were made of bluestone. As they had been in the ancient well for a long time, the walls were very moist and there were some water droplets hanging on them.

After walking for about three or four minutes, they finally reached the end.

This is a stone gate.

There is a huge stone on top of the stone gate. It is the Dragon-Breaking Stone and weighs up to a thousand pounds!
Once it falls, it will completely seal the ancient tomb.

At this time, the stone gate was wide open. It must have been done by Hu Bayi and the others. Jiang Hua stood in front of the stone gate and could feel the cold aura getting heavier and heavier.

He could vaguely smell a fishy odor coming from the stone gate.

"The teachers should be inside. Let's all be careful. It could be dangerous."

Shirley Yang took a deep breath and said, "I will be careful."

Walking inside, it is a spacious stone chamber.

The stone chamber is about several dozen meters long and wide, but it does not feel crowded at all. Bronze lamps are burning all around, illuminating the entire stone chamber.

When Jiang Hua saw the scene around him, his eyes changed slightly.

In this stone chamber, the ground was littered with bones.

There were dozens of wooden pillars around, with human skeletons tied to them. Traces of torture could be seen on the skeletons.

Shirley Yang said: "These human remains are probably slaves who were buried with the dead. They were tied here and died after being tortured cruelly."

Jiang Hua also sighed, "This Xiye Ancient City is the site of the Gumo Kingdom during the Western Han Dynasty. Only these small countries still retain the slavery system."

Shirley Yang looked around but didn't see Professor Chen and the others.

"Where did Professor Chen and the others go? I just looked around, but I didn't find any door in this stone chamber."

Since Jiang Hua had read the original novel, he lowered his head to look for the underground entrance, and soon he saw two stone rings.

As long as you pull open the stone ring, you can enter the main tomb chamber. Professor Chen and others are most likely down there.

"Shirley, the entrance is here."

Jiang Hua shouted, and Shirley Yang came over. The two of them pulled the stone ring together and pulled hard. Soon an underground entrance appeared with a stone staircase inside.

The two looked at each other, Jiang Hua stepped in first, and walked slowly down the stone stairs, while Shirley Yang followed closely behind.

Jiang Hua's vigilance has been raised to the highest level, ready to take action at any time. Shirley Yang also has a pistol in her hand and follows Jiang Hua with a serious face.

Soon the two of them went down into the main tomb chamber.

Seeing the scene inside, Jiang Hua's pupils shrank.

There was only a dark red coffin located in the center of the tomb chamber. The lid on the coffin was gone, and it was obvious that the coffin had been opened.

And a figure was lying on the ground.

There was no sound.

The figure had his back to them and his face could not be seen clearly, but from his clothes, Jiang Hua quickly guessed his identity!
Hao Aiguo!
Professor Hao!
He actually died here?

In the end what happened?
Where did everyone else go?
……
