Chapter 436: Guessing and Guessing
The space spirit nodded. "There will be attraction, but it won't last. After all, it's not the right fate."
Su Nuan didn’t understand any of this at all and just asked for fun.
She stroked her chin and asked, "But this will definitely cause trouble to Zhengyuan. It seems a bit unfair."
The space spirit said helplessly: "Isn't the purpose of life to experience this journey? Whether it is hardship in life or emotional fluctuations, it can enrich the experience."
"For those who are born with everything, what's the point of having no desires?"
"So, I think a colorful life is the most important thing. Live happily while you're alive."
Su Nuan nodded, "You're right, just be happy."
As we chatted, the meal was ready.
Su Nuan called out, "Xiaotian, it's time to eat."
Xiaotian responded, "Okay."
After dinner, the two of them found a room to rest.
Su Nuan's mind was always thinking about the Human Emperor and his woman, and there were a few things he couldn't figure out.
After waiting for a long time until midnight, Xiaotian called out from outside, "Nuannuan, are you awake?"
Su Nuan appeared at the door in a flash, her eyes sparkling with no trace of sleep. "Is it time?"
Xiaotian smiled slightly and was not surprised by Su Nuan's condition.
He said, "Let's go."
Su Nuan nodded and followed Xiaotian.
The main city of Phoenix is in the belly of the Phoenix, and the villa where they are located is in the heart of the Phoenix.
Xiaotian didn't walk far and stopped just a few hundred feet out of the villa. This place looked like a small temple, but now only ruins remained.
Su Nuan looked at Xiaotian and saw bitterness on his face. Su Nuan actually understood this complicated mood.
Xiaotian was born into a noble family and his mother's family was once very powerful, but after the accident, he was left to wander outside. No one from his mother's family stayed to guard the farm, and the temples he valued were deserted and fell into disrepair.
The space spirit asked, "What is he staring at here for?"
Su Nuan sighed secretly, "He must have been reminded of the past when the temple was most prosperous. Now I think he wants to rebuild the temple and restore it to its former glory."
"After all, the family attaches great importance to the gods they worship. Now that the temple is in ruins, it is equivalent to the ruin of his family."
"Restoring the temple is equivalent to wanting the family to regain its glory and become stronger."
The space spirit asked again, "Has all the materials used to build the temple been dug up? Does he want to expand the building?"
Su Nuan was originally speaking proudly of her own views with her eyes closed, but when she opened her eyes, she saw Xiaotian digging the soil and had already dug a hole.
This doesn't look like a reconstruction at all, but rather like dismantling and leveling.
She touched her nose awkwardly and said, "As expected, you can't guess what a man is thinking. You can never guess it no matter how hard you try."
The space spirit laughed loudly, "Hahaha...Is this referring to you women?"
Su Nuan said nothing, walked forward and asked, "What are you digging here for?"
Xiaotian replied, "The passage is underneath. When the entrance was first discovered, our family was at its peak, so they built this villa and temple, hoping to leave a trace of wealth for their descendants."
“Now I’m going to borrow these things to do what I want to do.”
Su Nuan didn't dare to guess again, as she felt embarrassed if she guessed wrong.
Xiaotian didn't know what the shovel in his hand hit. He paused and dug up another shovel of soil.
The color of the soil was actually blood red. If the soil had not spread out, Su Nuan would have thought that he had shoveled up a piece of flesh and blood.
"What's this?"
Xiaotian said, "This is a blood tomb, and powerful people are buried underneath."
Su Nuan nodded in sudden realization and squatted there, not daring to move.
The space spirit curled its lips and said, "It's just iron oxide. This should be a cast iron door. After weathering the wind, frost, snow, rain, and the passage of time, it oxidized and melted into the soil."
Su Nuan nodded secretly, "You're right, but think about it, how long would it take for such a large piece of iron to be completely oxidized? There aren't many people who can produce so much iron nowadays."
"What's more, this is iron from a long, long time ago. Back then, would possessing a palm-sized piece of iron have been considered the equivalent of a king, a prince, or a general?"
The space spirit nodded, "You have a point, so it's not wrong to say that an important figure is buried here."
While they were chatting, Xiaotian had already dug a big hole, revealing the passage.
Xiaotian took out a tinder and threw it down, and the tinder went out quickly.
Su Nuan said, "We have to wait."
Xiaotian nodded without saying anything.
Su Nuan felt that waiting was boring, so she asked, "Xiaotian, what's buried down there? Could it be gold, silver, or jewelry?"
Xiaotian looked up at Su Nuan, her eyes full of curiosity.
So he smiled and said, "There probably won't be any gold, silver, or jewelry, but there will be some useful things that can't be bought with gold, silver, or jewelry."
Su Nuan nodded, her eyes full of anticipation.
The scene at this moment is Xiaotian squatting in the pit and Su Nuan squatting above the pit.
A drop of sweat slid down Xiaotian's forehead. Why did he feel like a mouse being watched by a cat?
The atmosphere was a bit awkward, but Su Nuan was unaware of it and continued squatting there with eyes full of anticipation.
Xiaotian endured the pressure and silently threw a fire starter downwards every once in a while.
The space spirit was already impatient. She said, "No, I want to take a gust of wind with me."
After saying that, she went into the corridor and brought the wind in. With the circulating air, people could go in.
Xiaotian was a little nervous. He only felt a gust of wind blowing in, like the strong wind caused by a bird flying by, but he didn’t see anything. Could it be that he saw a ghost?
Su Nuan urged: "Throw one more, it will definitely work."
Xiaotian nodded, lit the tinder and threw it in. He hadn't thought this one would last long after the previous one, but this one actually continued to burn without a sign of going out.
Su Nuan couldn't wait to say, "Let's go, let's go down and take a look."
Xiaotian quickly jumped down first. This was better than being kicked down by Su Nuan.
The two fell into the passage, which was quite spacious and made of stone bricks.
All of these stone bricks are hand-carved. The passage is arched and the stones on top are finely carved, so the top can be easily supported without any adhesive.
Su Nuan couldn't use a flashlight, so she could only use a cow horn lamp to illuminate the area.
The ox horn lamp is made of a softened ox horn stretched out like a cicada's wing. It is equivalent to a crystal lamp, but Su Nuan's is old, and the ox horn has begun to turn yellow and has become much dimmer.
Su Nuan was walking in front when she suddenly found scratches on the wall. She gestured with her hand, and her hand became smaller.
Xiaotian also gestured, and his hands were still too small, as if they were grabbed by a huge beast.
The space spirit said, "This scratch is very strange. It doesn't look like something a human could make."
Su Nuan nodded secretly, "Yes, it's bigger than both of my hands. If it was an animal, it would swallow me in one gulp, right?"
If we calculate based on Xiaobai's enlarged size, the height of this beast on all fours would be as high as Su Nuan's shoulders.
