From the appearance, this tower looks a bit like a Tang pagoda, much like the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an. It is a square pavilion-style brick tower. Because it is a bit far away, I don't know exactly what it was built with.
But I was thinking that since it is called the Ancient Wooden Pagoda City and it should be built of wood, why does it look like a Tang Pavilion-style brick tower?
Moreover, I actually can’t tell how tall this tower is and how large it is.
First of all, I can't figure out the distance between us and this tower. It seems far away but not close. Secondly, I don't know whether it is affected by the heat from the sand surface or for other reasons. The tower seems to be twisting, sometimes bigger and bigger. Small, not very clear anyway.
This creates a lot of problems for us in judgment.
"Is that the wooden pagoda in the ancient wooden pagoda city? Did we find it? Haha, I really couldn't find it after trying hard to find it. It took no effort at all, haha!" Zhao Hu laughed wildly.
The pigtail glanced at him and said, "You are really uneducated. It's like trying to break through iron shoes to find nowhere. What can you not find? A word you created yourself?"
"What, you don't accept it? You haven't even gone to school for a few fucking years, and you still have the nerve to laugh at me."
"Then I'm better than you."
"Okay, you two, stop arguing. Let's go over and take a look." Jianzui said impatiently.
When it came to looking for the ancient wooden tower city, Jianzui was actually the least happy, but now that he saw the wooden tower appearing in front of him, he became active again.
But I thought about it, isn’t he just such a person?
"Wait, don't rush there yet." I said at this time.
"What's wrong?"
"This tower looks a bit weird. I'm afraid it's a mirage or something. Let's take a closer look."
"Mirage?" Sister Yuan looked at me a little excitedly: "Have we encountered a mirage? This thing is a wonder. If we can encounter it, it will be really good luck."
Sister Yuan’s words left me speechless.
In fact, before setting off, Tubaier told us that it is easy to encounter mirages after entering the desert, especially when there is a lack of water and food at the end of the road.
Some people will get very excited when they see a mirage, only to find out that it is all fake. They have exhausted all their physical strength and supplies, so they die faster.
So in the opinion of the native boy, the appearance of this thing in the desert is not a good thing.
But Sister Yuan said at the time that the word sounded magical and romantic. Although she was not a hypocritical person, she still hoped to meet her once and satisfy her inner thoughts.
Therefore, I can understand her excitement at this time.
"The question is, shouldn't the mirage be an oasis or something? How could it be a wooden tower?" Zhao Hu asked.
The pigtail snorted and said: "Idiot, let me explain to you. Mirages usually appear when you think about them. To put it bluntly, they are actually hallucinations and psychological effects."
"Then everyone is thinking the same thing? I've been thinking about Jia Tingting and wanting to sleep with her. Why doesn't Jia Tingting appear? You must also be thinking about Xiao Ye. Then did you see Xiao Ye appear there? ?”
"Don't make fun of me!" Xiaoye said angrily.
The pigtail also glanced at Zhao Hu speechlessly, then turned back and pointed to the east: "Since you fucking miss Jia Tingting, then go back, she is in the east."
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense and get down to the sand dune first. This place is so high, Professor Qin and the others can see it from afar later."
With that said, I kicked the camel and let it continue walking towards the west.
"Ah? Isn't that a mirage? Do we still want to go there?" Jianzui asked.
I’m not sure whether it’s a mirage or not, and regardless of whether it’s a mirage or not, we still have to go west, and the direction is correct.
Brother Xiao Ma said at this time: "I think it must be fake. Wasn't the ancient wooden tower city buried by sand overnight? It has already been buried. How could this tower appear?"
"There wasn't a big storm in the past two days, maybe it blew the sand away," Zhao Hu said.
"Anyway, I think there's something fishy about it, maybe it's another evil thing."
Brother Xiao Ma's words reminded me that it is really possible, so we can't take it lightly and move forward step by step.
"By the way, the top of our sand dune is not far from the two half mountains. If Professor Qin and the others come here and see the wooden pagoda, they might follow them." Zhao Hu said suddenly.
I said I couldn't care less about them now, and we had no choice but to take it one step at a time.
In this way, we rode a camel team and walked towards the wooden pagoda in a hurry. As the distance got closer, the wooden pagoda became larger and clearer, and it looked more realistic. Slowly, I realized Come on, this may not be a mirage or an illusion, but there is really a wooden tower there.
We may have really found the ancient city of Muta.
After we walked for nearly an hour, we encountered a larger sand dune. When we climbed up the dune, we couldn't help but exclaimed at the scene in front of us.
On the back of the sand dune, there is a large basin. The basin seems to be full of broken walls and ruins, which are obviously ancient buildings. Most of the ancient buildings have been buried by the yellow sand, leaving only a little bit of the top exposed to the sand. surface.
In the middle of the ruins, there is a tall tower rising from the ground. It is majestic and majestic, towering into the clouds. It seems to be at least dozens of meters tall.
As for this tall tower, it seems to be built of wood. Although it has been a long time, it still looks very complete and strong. This has to make us marvel at the construction craftsmanship of the ancients.
"Isn't this an illusion? Isn't it an illusion or a ghost? It looks so real." Zhao Hu jumped off the camel and rubbed his eyes with his hands.
"It looks like it's true, but we still have to check it out. You guys wait here." I also jumped off the camel, and then took out some quicklime and chicken blood from the sack: "I'll go in first, and you can come back later when it's safe." Come down."
"Ask Zhao Hu to go with you." Sister Yuan looked at me worriedly.
"Farewell, if there is any danger, it is better for one person to have an accident than for two people to have an accident."
Zhao Hu still insisted on following me down, but I didn't agree. He also told me to wait here while he went down to try, but I didn't agree either.
As I walked downstairs, I yelled a few times inside, mainly because I thought that if Xiaoye's father or my brother were inside, they might come out after hearing our screams.
At the same time, I also glanced at the size of the entire city.
It seems to be about two or three kilometers in length and width. It was considered a relatively large city in ancient times, and there were large open spaces around the city. These open spaces should have been oases in ancient times. There must have been dense vegetation and river.
I can even imagine that in this desert oasis city at that time, people were singing and dancing, and it was a prosperous scene.
But now they are all in ruins, and one has to lament the passage of time.
Because the city was far away from the sand dunes, I walked for a long time. While walking down, I had to test it with quicklime and chicken blood from time to time.
Everything looks normal.
When I walked into the city, no abnormality was found after testing, and it was confirmed to be safe. I waved to a few people on the sand dune, indicating that they could come down.
Then they came here on camels.
When they were almost down to the bottom of the dune, I suddenly heard a faint voice next to me.
It seemed to be a human voice.
