And as soon as we entered the entrance of the ghost city, we felt a chill.
With great inertia, our speed has become very fast.But at this moment, the steel wire began to tilt upwards.
An arc is shown, in this case.Our speed began to slowly decrease, and finally, relying on the forward inertia, we stopped on a high platform in a cave.
And there were people at the stone platform to meet us, so when we arrived here, we signaled for convenience to stop.
The four of us didn't talk nonsense and let go one after another.Because when it slipped here, the inertia had already begun to decrease.
Except for some soreness in the arm, there is no problem at all.
After landing, the man standing here to meet us just said coldly: "Enter is allowed, go in!"
As he said that, the man spilled some weird liquid on us.
The four of us exchanged glances, seeing that there was no problem, thinking that this is the rule here, and then walked along the path.
After walking a few steps, I asked Wei Weiqing what she said to me before.
But Wei Wei gently showed a smile on his face: "Guess!"
As he said that, he had already walked in front of me.
I feel speechless for a while, I guess I still need to ask you?
Next, we moved forward along the path and began to enter the ghost market.
Because it is the first time to come here, so I am very curious about everything around me.
Looking around, here is a very large cave, surrounded by long lights.There is a long fire, and there is a strange smell in it.
As soon as he smelled this smell, the eagle said in surprise: "The merman oil lamp!"
When I heard the shark oil lamp, I was taken aback for a moment, and then I also showed surprise on my face.
Bai Ling didn't know what a shark oil lamp was, so he asked, "What is a shark oil lamp?"
Taking a deep breath, he said, "The shark is a fish in the South Seas. It has an ugly face and its meat is inedible, but the fat in its body is the best fuel for an ever-burning lamp!"
As soon as the words fell, the eagle snorted: "That's right, when I was young, I went to Nanyang once, and I saw an ever-burning lamp made of this kind of oil. It only needs oil as big as a fingernail, mixed with some special The fuel, when finally made into a candle, can burn for a month!"
Although I have heard that this shark oil is the fuel of the ever-burning lamps, the ancient emperors used this oil to make their ever-burning lamps.There are even such things in museums now, but it never occurred to me that a fingernail as big as this can fuel the fire for a month.
"Eagle, is it true or not? Can it really burn for a month?" Wei Wei showed a trace of suspicion, feeling a little unbelievable.
But the eagle has a solemn face: "Can I still lie to you? There are sharks in the South Sea, and their oil is flammable, and it will last for a hundred years. This is the original saying in the funeral scriptures. Although it is impossible for a hundred years, a whole shark I’m afraid it’s not a problem to make oil lamps out of fat from the oil and burn them for three to five or eight years!”
Although Eagle is usually a little mad, he doesn't lie or brag when it comes to matters of principle.
The eagle said it so solemnly, it seemed to be true.
The other three of us couldn't help but took a deep breath and looked around the entire cave.There are probably hundreds of such oil lamps, and that's not counting the ones we haven't seen.
If it was all shark fat, how many Nanyang sharks would have to be killed?And this thing is extremely expensive.
In my knowledge, the sharks in Nanyang are almost extinct, and now they can still use it like this?
It has to be said that the manager and operator of this ghost market is not just as simple as being rich.The resources in hand are also extremely rich.
In addition to the merman oil lamps on the wall, there is a small river under the cave.The flow direction of the small river is from the outside to the inside, and the water from the outside flows into the cave.
This shows that the cave is inclined and connected with the ground.
Apart from us along the way, there are all kinds of other people around us.Of course, it is not limited to only people.
In this cave, we can feel the existence of evil spirits, ghost spirits, and even evil spirits.
We walked in the middle of the mountain wall, and a long plank road was built here, and we didn't know how far it was going all the way down.
However, there will be one of these merman ever-burning lights every few tens of meters, so that the place will not be so dark.
Bai Ling had little exposure to this level in the past, but now he saw the merman oil lamp.Then he asked me another question: "Wucheng, are the sharks in Nanyang mermaids?"
When I heard Bai Ling's question suddenly, I was taken aback for a moment.Then he said, "Probably not, the mermaid you are talking about should be a mermaid!"
"Mermaid? Is there any difference between mermaid and mermaid?" Bai Ling was puzzled.
Wei Weiwei smiled slightly at this time: "Of course there is a difference. Mermaids are ugly, while mermaids are beautiful. Moreover, in the myths and stories of egg people in Nanyang, mermaids can become humans. They belong to the egg people. Ancestors! And it is rumored that the mermaids established their own underwater dynasty in the Coral Spiral Sea.”
Naturally, Bai Ling didn't know what Nanyang "egg people" were, so he naturally had to explain.
To put it bluntly, these Nanyang egg people are pearl divers who snatch pearls in the water.They are excellent in water, holding egg knives, and can wrestle whales in the water.It is also possible to win the pearls in the mouth of the deep-sea old mussels on the night of the full moon.
It is rumored that the 24 moonlit nights crowned by the Empress Dowager Cixi were all dispatched by the Nanhai Eggmen. On the night of the full moon, they used the ironclad ships of the Beiyang Navy to cross the "coral spiral" of the Nanyang Sea and send them into the depths of the Nanyang Sea. It took five years. A rare treasure that comes with time.
Although there are 24 pearls, their reputation spread far and wide overseas, and its value can be imagined, which cannot be described with money at all.
Of course, we didn't know the story of these 24 bright moon nights at that time.It was when we later explored Nanyang and fought against the black dragon forces that we got to know an eggman, and we knew the inside story.
But these are all things to talk about in the future.
Bai Ling was very excited when he heard that Nanyang had such an existence as "Egg People", and said that he must go to see it if he had the opportunity.
At that time, Bai Ling thought that this wish would never come true, but she never imagined that today, a few years later, we not only saw the Nanyang egg people, but also went deep into the legendary Nanyang's most dangerous eddy, the coral spiral sea area.
We chatted all the way, all the way forward.About half an hour later, we came to a port.
The number of pedestrians coming and going at the port has increased significantly, and if you want to enter the ghost city, you must enter by boat.
In fact, this is nothing, but the cost of the boat ride here is ridiculously high...
Chapter 2 Twelve
This is the ferry port of the ghost city, and the underground trade area can only be entered by water.
So if we want to enter the ghost city, we can only take a boat here.
But the boat fare is ridiculously high, reaching five thousand per person.
It's not ghost coins, it's name coins.But here is also special, in addition to money, you can also use other things to pay, such as pills, mountain treasures and the like.
And these are only aimed at people, and those monsters with strange shapes can still cross the river without paying any fees.
The four of us have to take [-] yuan, but how can we carry so much money with us?
But what's so frustrating is that such a weird and traditional place can keep pace with the times, saying that you can swipe your card here!
It's a bit strange to be able to swipe a card without even having a phone signal here.
