Chapter 39: The Stone Stele of Longevity
As for Lao Ta, he wanted to go back to the shore, but unfortunately his cousin Xiao Man'er insisted on entering the city to check, so this guy could only follow him with a man's back.
From beginning to end, Li Xiaohua did not express any opinions, but from the fact that she did not hesitate to follow the large army, she knew that her choice was to enter the city.
Truth be told, Li Xiaohua was beyond everyone's expectations.
Her physical strength is almost the worst among everyone, but she didn't fall for it.
They waited for the floating platform beneath their feet to dock, and they went down to dry wooden sticks to make torches. Although the moonlight was very bright, it was not enough for lighting and surveys, and their lighting equipment had long been lost.
Time is tight, and they don’t have time to find burn-resistant wooden sticks. They can only pack up when they see dry branches and win by number.
Soon, each of the seven men helped a few torches to light them. After half an hour, they stepped on the floating platform when they landed again.
The length and width of this huge floating platform are about 500 meters. This is a speculation based on the ripples when it pushes the mud. The swastika city on this floating platform is basically square, with a side length of about 330 meters, which is basically the same as the size of the ancient city of Loulan.
Entering the city gate, you can see the compact houses on both sides of the road.
Although most of them have collapsed, it can be seen from those relatively complete houses that the entire houses are built with stone, including the roofs, which are built with the technology of arched roofs, without a single wooden beam.
Everyone wondered why these broken walls were scattered on the ground, so why did not fall into the mud when the section carrying the ancient city flipped.
Guyu grabbed a broken brick on the ground and picked it up, but couldn't handle it.
The half stone brick looked like it weighed only about twenty pounds, and Gu Yu didn't lift his hands up at once, which surprised him.
When Mr. Ling saw Gu Yu's puzzled expression, he said calmly:
"Magnetic force, these stones contain a large amount of iron elements, and the plate under our feet is a huge hollow magnet, which causes these stone bricks to be magnetized.
Otherwise, if there was no magnetic force, how could these scattered rotary tiles continue to stay here long ago, they would have fallen into the mud."
Everyone woke up and understood why this broken city could preserve these rags.
Mr. Ling had no interest in these ordinary stones, but walked all the way to the center of the city.
There, there is a building far higher than ordinary houses. According to the general ancient city, the largest building should be a temple. In the distant ancient times, the temple not only represents faith, but also the center of political discussion.
Therefore, most of the temples in the ancient city are huge and majestic. If you want to understand this ancient city as quickly as possible, the temple is naturally the best choice.
Soon, they arrived at the square in front of the huge building.
This square is about half the size of a football field, and several relatively complete stone tablets stand on both sides of the main entrance to the building.
When Ling Dongzhi saw these stone tablets with reliefs, he suddenly became energetic. He increased his speed a little more, and ran over to observe carefully.
The carvings on the stone tablet are very exquisite. Whether it is characters or animals, their eyebrows and eyes are extremely vivid, with both abstract imagination and certain realistic.
On the first stone tablet is a woman wearing a mask.
Her waist was slender, and she stood in front of everyone, at the golden section of the stone tablet, which was the most eye-catching.
If nothing unexpected happens, this should be a queen.
Her mask is very distinctive, looking like the face of a cat, but with tiger-like fangs.
With that long straight hair, it is a witch.
On this first stone tablet, in front of this witch's figure, there is a kneeling figure that is also extremely slim and concave. Although it only has a side face, it gives people a charming beauty.

The witch's hand was placed on the head of the kneeling woman, as if she was performing some kind of ritual.
Ling Dongzhi looked at the inscription and frowned slightly, as if she was thinking hard.
Soon, he moved to the second stone tablet.
This stone tablet should be the storyline that follows the previous stone tablet picture.
In this stone painting, the witch and the woman who were kneeling down were carried by a group of strong, shirtless men and walked on the stairs that were rotating downwards.
Obviously, they were going to carry the witch and the beautiful woman to a deep place, because the rotating steps could not see the end in the mural.
On the third stone tablet, everyone carried the witch and the beautiful woman to a huge door.
From the intuitive feeling given by the mural, it should be an extremely thick stone door.
In front of the door, the witch was dragging a circular disk in her hand, with a semicircular depression in the middle of the disk, and an oval object was embedded on it.
This thing is portrayed very realistically. You can even see that the disc carved with strange characters. Inside the oval object in the middle of the disc, there seems to be a small snake with an eye in the middle of the forehead, which is very strange.
Seeing this mural, Mr. Ling seemed to have thought of something, and his brows stretched a little while Gu Yu frowned.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Gu Yu glanced at the team doctor Li Xiaohua next to Dachuan.
Gu Yu's eyes flashed, and he seemed to be subconsciously turning back.
However, this gaze still attracted Li Xiaohua's attention.
The moment Guyu turned his eyes back, she looked at Guyu and also flashed by, and hurriedly turned back and continued to watch the mural.
Mr. Ling walked towards the fourth stone tablet, which was also the last stone painting outside the door of this huge building.
Several people followed Mr. Ling's footsteps to the last stone tablet.
The above portrayal can be said to be the simplest of the four portrayals.
Because there is only one person in this painting, that is the witch.
She was not facing the huge stone door in the previous painting. In this painting, she was facing the stone door with her back facing away from the stone door, stretching her arms, as if she was accepting the worship of the world.
Gu Yu looked at these paintings and really couldn't see that he was coming, so he asked Mr. Ling:
"Winter Solstice, what's the thing drawn on it? This girl has a really good figure, but she's sorry she can't see her face."
Ling Dongzhi hurriedly made a ban on his hands and whispered:
"Don't blaspheme, there are things in this world that cannot be explained by science, so we should maintain the minimum respect and regard it as our own safety."
This is how people are. It’s nothing if they don’t say it, but they feel disgusted as soon as they say it.
Gu Yu quickly bowed three times to the witch on the fourth stone tablet, muttering:
"Don't blame it! Don't blame it! It's really the goddess who is so beautiful!"
It's strange to say that Gu Yu just thought the witch on the fourth stone tablet had a solemn face, and now she seems to be smiling.
However, this witch is wearing a mask, so this is pure psychological effect.
Ling Dongsha heard Guyu muttering, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, saying that his heart was even more blasphemous.
He also observed people in detail and knew that he could not argue with Guyu about blasphemy. So he changed the topic and answered Guyu's question just now:
