LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 50 Searching for Clues
If there is an emergency, you can hold the jade talisman in your palm and activate the magic circle, and I will feel it within a thousand miles. Aunt Xia said as she handed over the document and the jade talisman.
Baiyunlou took it over.
After saying hello to everyone, Aunt Xia said that she had other important things to do, so she turned around and jumped into the flying boat.
The flying boat soared into the sky, gradually disappeared, and turned into a stream of light that sank into the sky.
The four of them looked at each other and packed their luggage. Baiyunlou took the customs clearance document and led the three of them towards the gate of Liangzhou City.
The four of them walked along the ancient caravan road to the gate of Liangzhou city. Only when they got closer did they realize that the city wall of Liangzhou city was more than three feet high.
It was noon in June, but it was not very hot. The city gate was open, and there were several horse-repelling fences outside the city gate. Two columns of city guard soldiers were at the gate of the city, checking the caravans entering and leaving.
Without saying anything, Baiyun Tower handed over the customs clearance document, and the city guard sergeant took it and saw that it turned out to be a student from Xinlu Academy. After checking the seal and confirming that it was correct, he respectfully sent the four of them into the city gate.
He also enthusiastically said that the Shoucheng Commander's Mansion is next to the west gate of Liangzhou City, and he can ask the Commander-in-Chief for help in case of emergency.
The group of four were not in a hurry to find the General Military Mansion. It was already noon, so naturally they wanted to find a lively market and fill their stomachs first.
After some inquiring, the busiest market in Liangzhou City is in the West Market, so it happened to be on the way.
Outside the city is mostly barren sand and gravel, but unexpectedly, the city is full of prosperity, and there are even a few large golden wheat fields.
Xu is close to the desert sea, the wind and sand are too strong, the caravan of pedestrians on the road are all wrapped in turbans, only two eyes are exposed, the four people are very strange to see.
On the way, they met a cloth shop, Xia Xiyue led the crowd in, each of them picked up a scarf.
The first time I wrapped a headscarf, I was in a hurry, and the shopkeeper couldn't see it, so I came to help and give pointers, and then I learned how to wrap it airtight.
Going out of the cloth shop, Xia Xiyue looked at this and that, she was so wrapped up that she almost didn't recognize her, and she threw herself back and forth with a smile.
Couldn't help knocking this junior sister Xia on the head, Baiyunlou said angrily: Why are you laughing, junior sister, you still look like us.
However, wearing a headscarf is also good. It can prevent sun and dust, and it can also reduce unnecessary troubles. It's good to do as the Romans do.
After half a stick of incense, the four of them came to the West Market, and it was really bustling. Camels, sheep, and horses took up half of the market, and only after walking half of the market did they see restaurants and restaurants.
Bai Yunlou suggested: It's rare to come to Liangzhou City, so don't go to the restaurant, first find an inn to put down your luggage, and then take a good look at the West Market, there may be a lot of delicious food hidden in the alleys along the street. All the foodies applauded in unison.
There are many businessmen in Liangzhou City, but there are quite a few inns. Xia Xiyue picked a relatively clean inn, settled her luggage, and walked around the streets to find food.
There are quite a lot of specialties in Liangzhou City, with the most mutton, most of which are grilled.
The steamed buns baked in an old store's naan pit are so fragrant and delicious that Xia Xiyue and the little fat man are reluctant to leave after eating, and Baiyunlou also thinks that this trip to Liangzhou City was not in vain.
Everyone had enough food and drink, and walked around the West Market. Baiyunlou took time to come back to the old steamed bun shop, bought a big bag, found a place where no one was around, and put it in the Sea of Consciousness enchantment. The desert sea also ate some.
After visiting the West Market, it was easy to find the General Military Mansion. The Baiyun Tower handed over an ultimatum to the soldier guarding the gate, and the soldier entered to inform, and after a while, he came out and brought the four of them into the mansion.
The commander-in-chief of Xiliang City is black and strong, his surname is Li. He has been the commander-in-chief in Liangzhou City for almost twenty years. The crowd came to a warehouse in the General Military Mansion.
Li Zongbing called the soldiers to fetch the key and opened the lock of the storeroom. This is a special storeroom with many strange things inside.
There are several large and small stones on the ground in the middle of the warehouse.
The two big ones are as tall as a person, and they are dark. There are several stone tablets standing beside them, and there are many books and rubbings on the shelves beside them.
Seeing how many people were a little unclear, Li Zongbing explained: A few students from Xinlu Academy came to Liangzhou City more than ten years ago. I went into the desert sea and found these stones.
It was said that it was a star stone that fell from the sky. A student cut open a small piece with his sword. As a result, the star stone was too hard. Although the star stone was cut open, the monk's sword also cracked. In the end, the stone Nothing was found inside.
It is difficult for a sword to cut through a boulder, and it is even more difficult for an ordinary sword to shake it. These few stones remained.
That year, I followed a few students to explore the desert sea. I ran into a pack of wolves on the way. There was a white wolf king leading the team. The wolf king's arrows were hard to hurt. Fortunately, a few students were skilled in swordsmanship, and they were cut off by a flying sword from a student from the academy. .”
The wolf king injured one eye and was seriously injured, so he led the pack of wolves back.
Those students returned to Liangzhou City for a short stay before returning to the academy. The official was worried that these things might still be useful, so he sealed up the house.
Baiyun Tower bowed to Zongbing Li and said: Master Zongbing has a heart, thank you for the academy students.
Li Zongbing laughed and said: The students in the academy are good at everything, but the etiquette is too much. Well, I have something to do, so I won't accompany you. After finishing speaking, he turned and left.
The four of them looked at each other and smiled, this President Li is quite refreshing.
There are a lot of miscellaneous books, and the four of them started to search separately. After searching, they all gained something.
The ancient books on the bookshelf in the warehouse record some folklore, which is too old to be verified. The seal engraving on the stone tablet records the scene of the raging fire more than 3,000 years ago, which is quite detailed. It is mentioned that there are two flames in the raging fire that are particularly bright and dazzling .
Among the rubbings on the bookshelf, several pages are rubbings from a petroglyph, and it can be seen that the scene depicted is exactly the same as that described on the stele.
A group of flowing fires streaked across the sky, and two of them were particularly conspicuously carved. A group of ancient ancestors were prostrated on the ground, and they probably regarded the flames falling from the sky as the wrath of the sky.
The scrolls of scrolls piled up on the desk, when opened, are topographic maps of Liangzhou City and the vicinity of the Desert Sea.
The topography map was very clearly marked, and the locations where the scorched stones in the room fell were also marked on the topography map. Seeing this, the four of them roughly figured out what was going on.
More than 3,000 years ago, there was indeed a stream of fire coming from the sky and falling into the desert sea. The ancient county guards and folks made records.
More than ten years ago, the academy students came to investigate, collected these transcribed ancient books, and searched for some remnants of scorched stones in the desert sea. the Academy.
These clues seem to have a beginning and an end, and there is no big problem, but Baiyunlou always feels that there is an omission somewhere, so he can't help but turn around and stare at these dark star stones.
