In the dark environment all around, the brightly lit ancient city in front of you looks extremely bright and beautiful!
"What to do? Go in or not?" Lin Yan was in a dilemma at this time. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to go in first to find out.
so-called
"Soldiers will block it, water will cover it." If you continue to stay outside, it is impossible to make any progress. You can only see if there is an exit or something in this mysterious ancient city that suddenly appeared.
After Lin Yan made up his mind, he stepped into it. At this moment, his eyes were extremely bright, and the white light hit him, making him half-close his eyes involuntarily.
"What's going on? It wasn't so bright when I looked outside just now!" Lin Yan thought doubtfully and took a step back. As a result, the white light disappeared, and what he saw in front of him changed back to the previous dotted lights.
After repeated experiments several times, he finally determined that there was an invisible dividing line here, and what was seen inside and outside the line were completely two different worlds.
Standing outside the dividing line, here is a brightly lit ancient city, but it is still surrounded by darkness, and it is like a cluster of lights in the darkness, shining brightly.
Entering the dividing line, the surrounding darkness is no longer visible, and here is the light like daylight.
Under this light, although the lights in the house are still there, they are no longer so obvious. But the strange thing is that there is no sun in the sky. Where does this slightly dazzling light come from?
You know, this place is under the yellow sand. No matter how powerful the sun outside is, it can't cast sunlight here!
not understand! I really don’t understand! However, this does not prevent Lin Yan from exploring this ancient city. He just needs to be more vigilant again. After all, this place looks so weird!
Lin Yan stepped inside, and the white light fell down, making him feel much calmer. After all, people still like bright environments.
The streets here are paved with stone slabs, and there are many houses made of stones on both sides. As the terrain rises, it presents a sense of stairs.
There were many shops around, and there were all kinds of shops hanging outside, but the words on them were obscure and difficult to understand, and Lin Yan couldn't recognize what was written.
In addition, some streets are relatively wide, and there are fruit and grocery stalls on one side of the street.
A shed was built above the stall, seemingly to provide shade. Behind the stall, there is a small stool with a cattail leaf fan placed on it, giving the impression that it is very hot here.
But Lin Yan didn't think so. Although some white light was projected, there was no heat at all in the light, as if it was just pure light.
Moreover, this stall is here, but where is the stall owner? Is it possible that the folk customs here are so simple and the stall owners are not worried about losing their things?
No, not only are there no vendors in front of these stalls, there are not even any pedestrians on the street. Since Lin Yan stepped into the ancient city, he has not encountered even a single living person along the way!
what's the situation? Could it be that this is really the underworld, but is there such a bright underworld?
The streets visible to the naked eye have been cleaned spotlessly, and even the fruits have a bright luster on them. Some of them still have some water stains on them. They must have been cleaned recently.
Lin Yan turned his head and looked at a house beside him. He looked inside through the window and saw the lights swaying slightly, which seemed so real.
If there is no one here, then who cleans the streets, how can the fruit be so fresh, and what lights can last through the years?
This place seems to be a sealed paradise, a bright place under the yellow sand, but there are no people living in it.
"No, let's go check it out first!" Lin Yan was at an impasse, so he planned to go into the house to check.
Although it's not good to break into private houses, isn't the situation now special? Thinking of this, Lin Yan directly opened the door beside him.
Surprisingly, the door was unlocked and was easily pushed open.
"Excuse me, is there anyone?" Lin Yan asked, but walked in slowly without stopping.
If the people living here were really ancient people, then he was not sure whether the other party could understand what he said, but out of politeness, he still had to say hello.
However, after the sound came out, no one responded for a long time, and the room was very quiet.
"Is there no one?" Lin Yan was not surprised by this situation. After all, he had never met anyone outside just now.
There is a small courtyard after entering this house. There are some daily utensils such as dust picks and hoes in the yard, which looks very lifelike.
Then walking inside, Lin Yan saw the strings of dried meat hanging on the beams, and his stomach growled involuntarily, and then he remembered that he had not eaten for a long time.
When they came in, they only restricted the amount of water everyone could carry, but there were no restrictions on food.
But most people won’t bring too much, after all, it will affect their actions. Lin Yan was the same way. He only stuffed some dry food in his little cloth pocket in case something happened here.
I stayed in the "sand tomb" for too long and couldn't find anything to eat. After all, he had often heard people say that the desert was very barren, and there was nothing he could ask for, let alone food. It was rare to even see a decent living creature.
There are quite a few people who want to eat you, such as that sandworm. Let’s not talk about whether ordinary people can defeat this thing when they encounter it. Even if they kill it, it still takes courage to eat it.
If someone really could eat sandworms alive, then Lin Yan would definitely give him a thumbs up and say:
"Ruthless man!" He touched the dry food in his little cloth pocket and moved his eyes away from the dried meat with difficulty, thinking:
"My master is not here. It's not good to just take other people's things. I'd better eat my own dry food!" However, he was not in a hurry to start the meal. After all, exploring the ancient city was the top priority right now.
Lin Yan walked into the house. The furnishings inside were very simple and not cluttered at all. After a cursory glance around, his attention finally fell on the stove on one side. Meat seemed to be stewing in the large iron pot. If he looked carefully, it was still steaming!
This is completely different from the temptation of dried meat outside! Apart from the different materials, the dried meat and his dry food are about the same in Lin Yan's opinion. After all, the dried meat won't be very tasty if it is not processed.
And the meat stewed in front of you is a naked temptation, this is so intuitive! Lin Yan couldn't help but walked forward and watched the large pieces of meat in the iron pot being cooked thoroughly, and the broth was bubbling.
If you get closer and smell it, you can still feel the alluring fragrance!
"Gulu..." Lin Yan swallowed and thought:
"This stew should be mutton. There are radishes in it. This owner is really good at eating! He is very particular!" He shouted again:
"Is anyone here?" There was still silence all around, and no one responded. Lin Yan was caught in a dilemma at this time. Although he knew it was not good to take other people's things, who made this mutton so tempting?
When it's cooked so fragrantly, doesn't it tempt others to make mistakes? After thinking for a moment, he stopped worrying. Why do children in the world care about these details? At most, they can just leave some money to compensate the master!
Well, if it tastes good, keep some more! After making up his mind, Lin Yan looked around and saw a long-handled spoon placed on the stove.
He took it over and rummaged through the pot, picked out a piece with a lot of meat, and fished it out. He held up the spoon and brought the piece of meat up to his nose, smelled it hard, and said to himself:
"Hmm~ It smells so good!" Then he was about to feast, and suddenly, a strange voice came:
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Lin Yan asked reflexively:
"Who?" But there was still no answer, but the strange sound that suddenly appeared just now was still coming intermittently.
Seeing this situation, it is naturally not the time to eat meat with peace of mind. Lin Yan put down the spoon and walked slowly towards the place where the sound came from, holding the handle of the black broken knife in his hand.
He was a little resentful at the moment, thinking that he would finally be able to eat the delicious radish stewed mutton, but he was interrupted, so he was in a bad mood!
Lin Yan followed the direction of the sound, gradually entered the inner hall, and then stopped in front of a door.
"That's where the sound came from!" He slowly opened the door with one hand and held a black broken knife in the other, ready to deal with sudden abnormal situations.
The moment the door was opened, Lin Yan was obviously stunned when he saw the scene in front of him. As far as the eye can see, the walls are covered with sheep heads, and there is freshly dismembered meat and broken bones on a long chopping board.
Here, it turns out to be a slaughterhouse! Among those sheep heads, one was still dripping with blood, obviously it had just been slaughtered.
What's even more cruel is that this sheep is obviously not completely dead yet, and is continuing to howl in pain.
It was just that it was dying after all, and it no longer had much strength, so its voice was very low. Coupled with the sound of wind, the two sounds mixed together, eventually forming the strange sound that Lin Yan heard.
"So that's it!" A false alarm! Although the picture is a bit cruel, in Jianghu, you will encounter many things that are crueler than this.
These are just animals, what if they were replaced by humans? Lin Yan silently exited the slaughtering room and returned to the previous room, but he had no idea of tasting the delicious mutton again.
The person's head is still howling inside, and the thing stewed in this pot may be its meat.
In this case, Lin Yan really couldn't eat.
"Forget it, let's continue eating my dry food!" Lin Yan was so tempted by the mutton just now, and now he was really hungry.
Anyway, there's no one here, so there shouldn't be any danger for the time being, so let's replenish some energy first.
Just when he took out the dry food and took a bite, suddenly there was a burst of
The sound of "rustling" came. Lin Yan thought helplessly:
"What's going on? You can't let anyone eat properly!"
