Chapter 523 What to do if your boyfriend is too attractive (22)

Gu Shu and Xu Wei also noticed the murals, but they did not pay much attention to them. After all, they had seen many murals since they entered this huge building.

This spire-shaped building looked very old, and the scenes painted on it were a piece of history, but the scenes recorded on it were very weird.

Xu Wei suddenly said: "So much gold!"

There were many glittering things piled up in the corner of this dark room, including gold and jewelry, as if suggesting that the legend that the golden palace was full of treasures was true.

Xu Wei walked over to take a closer look. He was naturally greedy. If he had one of the items, he could sell it to pay for his mother's medical expenses.

Gu Shu reminded him, "Don't move the things here. Be careful not to get infected with the disease."

Xu Wei hesitated for a while, but still took a step back.

Bai Yao approached the wall, her eyes lingering on the mural for a long time, taking in the grand painting bit by bit, carefully and thoroughly. She didn't miss any details, even the black spots in the cracks of the bricks.

Before being dragged into the misty world, Gu Shu was doing textual research. Seeing that Bai Yao was paying close attention to the things on the wall, she took a quick look and said, "This should be the sacrificial method of praying to the gods."

Bai Yao asked, "Praying to the gods?"

Gu Shu pointed to the wall in the distance and said, "It shows dry land, withered plants, and skinny people kneeling on the ground. From here on, "Looking back along the stream, the earth is coming back to life, the fertile land is growing food, and the trees are flourishing. This change is because someone is praying to God."

Gu Shu scanned all the paintings and said, "There are many deer totems on it, and some things that look like words on it. This should be the Alma civilization that has been cut off. This ancient civilization has a special worship of deer."

"They believe that deer are messengers of God who can drive away demons and evil spirits. Logically, a tribe that uses animals as totems should have a close relationship with economic life such as fishing, agriculture and livestock breeding. Here, deer are used as totems. Perhaps a long, long time ago, this place was not a desert."

Xu Wei said: "You mean, this could have been an oasis?"

"I'm not sure, it's just a guess. After all, so many things have changed over the years. With the changes in the atmospheric environment and the movement of the earth's crust, it is not impossible that this place was once an oasis."

Xu Wei couldn't help but say: "You know a lot."

Gu Shu replied: "You will know these things if you read more books."

Xu Wei smiled and didn't respond.

He was embarrassed to say that because of his family background, he actually didn’t even finish junior high school. When his peers were sitting in the classroom studying, he was already thinking about how to make money.

Gu Shu continued: “This is a special prayer ceremony to the gods. It transforms the body and combines with the messenger of the gods, so that the place where one’s flesh and blood was born can be revitalized.”

Bai Yao: “Does this method really work?”

Gu Shu thought about it and said objectively: “For thousands of years, when people encounter problems that cannot be solved by human power, they will habitually place their hopes on the gods. The so-called sacrifice of living people has existed since ancient times in China and abroad. It is very important for people. In fact, it certainly has a psychological comfort effect, but as for whether it can produce other practical effects..."

She paused and said, "There are still many unsolved mysteries. I can't give a definite answer as to whether there are miracles beyond the scope of science."

A group of them were inexplicably dragged into the so-called escape game and encountered different killers. Such events have long made materialists shaken.

Gu Shu raised her head and looked at the murals, "But since this evil method is recorded in the Golden Palace, it must mean that someone has tried it before."

Xu Wei said, "Let's find a way to get out."

If you stay in one place for too long, it will be easy for Ismail to find you.

They went up the stairs they fell in, but the secret door could not be pushed no matter what.

Bai Yao said: "This door can only be opened from the outside."

Gu Shu: "Looks like we have to find another exit."

Xu Wei shouted: "It's too late!"

They didn't know what mechanism they had triggered, but holes suddenly appeared on the wall of the darkroom, and sand was constantly pouring in.

The sand was accumulating very quickly, and even though they were standing at the top of the stairs, they would soon be affected by the scene of the stairs being swallowed by the yellow sand.

Gu Shu gritted his teeth and took out a metal ring from his pocket.

Xu Wei was surprised, "Are you really willing to use it?"

This ring can open a transmission channel, allowing people passing through to move, but the exit of the channel is random. They may go to a safe place or a more dangerous place, but this is definitely a precious prop that can solve urgent problems.

Generally speaking, this thing will only be taken out and used at the critical moment of life and death.

Gu Shu said calmly: "Now is the time to use it."

The ring was thrown into the air and expanded. A hole like a black hole appeared. It was dark in color. No one could guess what was on the other side.

They could only pray that their luck was not too bad, and they would not escape from one dangerous situation and step into another dangerous situation.

Xu Wei has always cherished his life. In the past, in order to survive, he could even put aside his self-esteem and beg for mercy from others. Who doesn't want to live a glamorous life? It's just that he doesn't have the qualifications.

He looked back and finally clenched his fists, "I'll go first."

Bai Yao looked at him in surprise. The Xu Wei who would abandon her and escape by himself would actually take the initiative to go to an unknown place first.

Xu Wei is certainly not a gentleman, otherwise he would not have pulled Bai Yao out of the car. However, now he took the initiative to take risks, which really doesn't seem like something a selfish person like him would do.

Bai Yao looked at Gu Shu again. She always felt that Xu Wei seemed to have glanced at Gu Shu before making a decision.

Gu Shu didn't feel anything. She just said briefly: "Be careful."

Xu Wei was the first person to walk into the passage. After a while, his voice was heard, "This is a ruin. No danger has been found at the moment."

Gu Shu and Bai Yao looked at each other, and they walked in together.

This place looks like a collapsed ruin. The stone bridge in the middle is broken and dilapidated. Going down is a bottomless black abyss. Several huge stone statues fell to the ground, also broken into pieces.
