After inspection, Fang Sheyan found that there were signs that the fire had been lit recently! This shows that the surviving Dubaiyans are more pious at this time, expecting the blessing of the gods is their last ray of hope! But... Fang Sheyan already has a vague inference and assumption in his mind. If his guess is correct, then it is very likely that this is an endless loop. The more these ceremonies are held, the situation of the remaining Dubaiya people will be worse. The more difficult it is!
Although Fang Senyan was very anxious and asked Mbenga to take him to find the Sun Stairway immediately, Mbenga shook his head repeatedly and kept pointing to the sky, obviously saying that the time had not come yet, and it seemed that he would have to wait for a long time In desperation, Fang Senyan could only curl up in a corner sheltered from the wind after surveying the surroundings, and fell into a deep sleep. He slept quite deeply this time, but when he fell asleep in the middle of the night, he suddenly heard some strange noises, immediately got up calmly, and looked quietly.
I saw that Mbenga was not asleep. I don’t know when a hidden mechanism next to it was opened, and a hidden stone room appeared, with a lot of firewood piled up inside, but Mbenga was keeping a lot of firewood. The firewood was carried to the stone pillars in the huge bonfire, and then it was ready to be lit!
Fang Senyan was startled, and was about to stop him! However, Mbenga's action at this time was surprisingly fast. Immediately, the raging fire immediately spread to the firewood. It is estimated that there were combustion-supporting substances such as oil in the campfire, and a huge and magnificent fire was burned here. Spectacular torch!
Mbenga turned his head to look at Fang Sheyan, with a look of generosity that begged for kindness and a kind of crazy excitement on his face, he stammered:
"The lighting of the altar, the signal, the flame! The sun rises at dawn, the collection, the talent. Gulga appears, after the break, I, revenge!"
Mbenga's words were broken intermittently, but the meaning of the words was firm and unquestionable. The blinding fire light illuminated his eyes, and the fumigated heat hit his face like the tongue of a giant beast. Sheyan couldn't help feeling a surge of intense boiling in his heart. He looked at the time, and it was already five o'clock in the morning. More, at most one hour later, the sky will be bright. He couldn't say anything more at this time, he let out a long sigh, and gave him all the rum he had left.
While Mbenga was laughing and drinking wine, he was reminiscing about some memory fragments in his drunkenness, and Fang Senyan explained all kinds of matters that need to be paid attention to.
Gradually, the flames stopped. The white belly of the east was exposed, and the morning glow dyed the sky red. Fang Sheyan's eyesight was good at this time. He had already seen that the exits of the opposite mountains were densely packed, as if they were abandoned beehives. People kept climbing down from the exits. Entering the ruins of the city below, it is obviously the remaining guards of the capital of Dubai. It should be that once the torch is lit, they must come here.
When the sun fell on the earth again, Mbenga brought Sheyan to the rear platform of the giant bonfire, and then pointed at a giant statue of ouroboros in the middle of the platform and knelt down devoutly on the ground. At this time, Sheyan Not daring to be careless, they crawled down together with him. When the two of them stepped onto the platform, Sheyan still felt a slight sinking under his feet, which obviously triggered a certain mechanism.
Suddenly, two huge statues slid out from the left and right of the platform at the same time. These two statues looked extraordinarily magnificent and burly. Although they were also snake-headed human bodies, they had two heads! A huge eyeball grew on the left shoulder of one of the statues, and the eyeball could also play the role of focusing the sunlight, and saw a dazzling scorching ray from far to near, scorching the broken stones on the ground. Flying, full of pungent scorching smell, aimed at Fang Sheyan who was lying on the ground piously and came straight!
Fang Sheyan was taken aback immediately, and wanted to get up and run away, but was grabbed by Mbenga forcefully and pressed to the ground. Of course, it was not difficult for Fang Senyan to fight for his tugging, but he knew after thinking about it. Mbenga has not killed the enemy called "Gurga" at this time, and there is absolutely no possibility of committing suicide! So he immediately became silent.
The incomparably hot focused sunlight roared in, Sheyan's exposed skin immediately felt indescribably scorching hot, and the flying gravel hit it painfully, but just when the sunlight was about to touch and hurt the two of them, the light But with a sudden flick, it moved to the Ouroboros statue and stopped, and the place where the light shone was the left eye of the Ouroboros statue! If Sheyan escaped, he would be hurt by that light instead!
Immediately afterwards, another statue was made in the same way, using a convex lens to focus a beam of sunlight directly on it. Just when Fang Senyan naively thought that as long as he knelt down and kept still, he would not be hurt, Mbenga was Pulling him up, he strode away... Sheyan couldn't help but sweat dripping down his back, the person who designed this mechanism really grasped people's hearts to the extreme!
After the two beams of focused sunlight shone on the Ouroboros statue at the same time, but the Ouroboros statue was safe and sound, Sheyan suddenly felt the ground shaking slightly, and immediately sank downwards! There is a feeling of taking an elevator. After sinking to the bottom, Mbenga still stayed on the lowered stone platform, opened his thick lips to Fang Sheyan, smiled honestly and waved goodbye, then rose up to the top again.
Mbenga had already told Fang Sheyan that he would stay and fight Gurga to the death, and buy time for Fang Sheyan after the breakup, and he also told Fang Sheyan the key points of collecting the sun ladder one by one, so he naturally left at this time. go.
Watching Mbenga's leaving figure, Fang Senyan suddenly had a feeling that this was probably the last time he saw this honest, simple, burly African man, who could be ruthless without grass or trees? What's more, the two of them have gone through such a long journey together, and they couldn't help feeling a strong melancholy in their hearts.
But he shook his head, and immediately threw these distracting thoughts out of his mind. Half a hundred miles away, the closer to the Sun Stairway, the more dangerous it is! If Fang Senyan dared to half-heartedly at this time, he would surely end up dead so that not even a single bone dross was left behind.
Fang Sheyan looked around, and it looked like a naturally formed cave, but the light was not dim, the ceiling was very high, at least seven or eight meters, and the spots on it were washbasin-sized holes, and the sunlight could pass through those holes. It came in obliquely, but the outside wind couldn't blow in, so the temperature was at least seven or eight degrees higher than outside, but a little water dripped from the wet cave wall, so it wasn't dry, but rather hot and humid . All around along the wall of the cave, there are plants that grow close to the ground. These plants have flat leaves, emerald green, and small white flowers.
According to Mbenga's instruction, Sheyan walked forward, turned left along the cave, and immediately saw that place.
The place that is regarded as a holy place by the people of Dubai, no, even the former Empire of Dubai! !
The place where the secret of human immortality is hidden in the legend!
Sun Altar!
At this time, Sheyan did not step forward, but looked around, and found a layer of light copper-green powder randomly in the corner of the nearby cave. This powder is very inconspicuous, but it spreads over a wide range.
Fang Senyan flipped his wrist, and he already had an IMCO windproof lighter in his hand. After shaking it, he threw it on the powder, and the powder immediately ignited, like gunpowder on fire However, there was no strange smell, but the temperature of the powder ignited was extremely high, and the metal of the lighter that Sheyan dropped showed signs of being melted.
…
The Sun Altar does not occupy a large area, at most it is equivalent to a conference room of 60 to 70 square meters. For some reason, the cave is quite clean. Shine in effortlessly.
It is obviously quite suitable for plant growth. A large number of unknown green plants are spreading inside, some of which are still blooming with little flowers, but a circular flower platform has been built in the middle of the altar.
The plants in the flower bed are the ultimate goal of Fang Senyan's trip: "Sun Ladder". This thing looks like a vine like honeysuckle and grapes. It seems to have thousands of branches, but in the end there is only one main one. Just the stalk.
The leaves of the sun ladder are wide and thin, and even have clear light transmission in the sun. The color of the leaves is colorful, as bright as flowers, but its flowers are open in the gap between the leaves and the stem, just like sweet-scented osmanthus In that way, small, faint, very inconspicuous. But invisible, there is a kind of exuberant vitality flowing inside.
The flower table is only seven or eight square meters in size, and the main material of the flower table is gray and white human skulls one by one! All of them opened their mouths wide and seemed to be screaming crazily. It seemed that liquid would seep out from the flower bed from time to time, and it would gather at the mouth of the skull that made the flower bed, and fall drop by drop to the bottom.
Such a strange and evil scene appeared in this clean, quiet, warm, and cozy cave, and the contrast to the senses was extremely strong, adding an indescribable evil to this seemingly warm and bright place. Feel!
