Chapter 297 Ancient City Temple (1)
Aden used to be an inconspicuous small fishing village. It was first formed by the harbor before the DPRK. At that time, there was very close maritime commercial exchanges between the ancient city-states in northwestern India and the Arab regions. As a natural port and its geographical location, Aden became a key place. Whether it was the late Islamic era, the Crusader era, or even the Ottoman era in the 16th century, this place was a key place to defend the east-west trade, so some ancient military fortresses can often be seen outside the city of Aden. It was these relics that made Aden a commercial port and also a tourist destination. Anyone who came to Arabia would stay in Aden for a period of time.
In the European theological archaeological world, some people believe that the Ark of the Covenant was secretly hidden in an unknown place by a Jewish group, and some people believe that King Solomon removed the Ark of the Covenant from the temple and handed it over to his sons born to the Queen of Sheba. In order to confirm their own speculation, and recently a theological archaeological trend has been ripped out in the European academic community, many theologians and archaeologists gathered in Aden, preparing to enter the hinterland of the Arabian Peninsula to find the location of the mysterious Kingdom of Sheba and the whereabouts of the Ark of the Covenant. However, for more archaeological adventurers, they only want the treasures of the Kingdom of Sheba in the rumor.
When the Joan of Arc was docking, news came from the shore, saying that a team of explorers found a ruins of the Kingdom of Sheba and obtained a large amount of gold and jewelry from it. Upon hearing this news, many passengers on the cruise ship decided to stay in Aden, most of whom were down-and-out sailors and civilians who had not made a fortune in the East.
Just from the environment, Aden is definitely not a pleasant place to view. It is rugged with rocks and strange rocks. The city is full of monotonous white rock houses. When the city comes out, it is an upsetting desert. Although the sea breeze here brings a hint of coolness, the heat during the day is still very strong, and the noisy and busy city built beside the volcano. It is difficult for people to have a good impression of Aden.
Because of Xu Changqing's words, Shen Qingwen and Catherine decided to give up their past grudges and maintain a cooperative relationship in this test of Aden. However, in order to balance their strength, Shen Qingwen decided to find another helper for herself. Originally, her goal was Su Chawei, but at Xu Changqing's instruction, Su Chawei refused and finally could only give it the second best and found Andy. Xu Changqing did not object to this. When she got off the ship and left the ground, she handed Andy ten Shenxiao Five Thunder Talismans he made in case of emergency.
After leaving the Joan of Arc cruise, Suchawei led the way forward and passed through the new city of Aden, and came to the old Aden city near the crater. The houses and buildings here seemed very dilapidated. Most of the Arabs living here were civilians in the basement of Aden, and some were small Arab merchants who could not afford hotels in the new city. Although the old city looked very dilapidated from the outside, you could feel the vitality that the new city did not have. The narrow streets were lined with simple stalls. There were all kinds of small commodities in it, most of them were vessels with strong Arab characteristics, but many of them were ancient items found by Arab merchants who traveled through the desert. Many tourists and adventurers who liked to come here to see it. Moreover, some quiet and profound pink alleys and streets in the old city have become the favorite places for Europeans who wish to experience the exotic style.
The people who came to the old city of Aden would feel very strange when they first came to Aden. The Arabs in Aden not only believed in Islam, which advocated the only god and prohibited idols, but also regarded ancient gods from the previous Arab region as predecessors and worshipped them. There will be a separate room in the mosque here, where the statues of these gods are stored. Hundreds of people of all sizes involve almost any object in the world, mountains, wind, water, etc., and people pray in it every day.
Su Chawei was leading Xu Changqing to such a small mosque built in a slum. After passing a dark and narrow alley, he came to the destination of the trip. What caught his eye was a very simple mosque. It was not as grand as other mosques, nor did it have the unique dome. It was an ordinary yard painted with white powder. In addition to a large prayer hall, there were also some small prayer rooms.
The people in the mosque seemed to have just finished their morning class and were walking out of the gate one after another. At this moment, an imam in a robe walked out under the gaze of everyone. After seeing Xu Changqing and Su Chawei, he stepped forward to salute them and said inexplicably: "Three predecessors are waiting for two of you inside, please come with me."
When Xu Changqing heard the words of the old man with long beards, he was stunned. Then there was a mysterious feeling surrounding him. This feeling was like being in a certain formation seal.
"Very good, since the host invites you, you should obey your guests." Xu Changqing nodded to the imam, then looked at Su Chawei again, and said, "Senior, where are you?"
"Haha! Since they talk about two, they naturally have to be old." Perhaps because of Xu Changqing, Su Chawei also developed an inexplicable heroic spirit. His previous geological diseases also disappeared. He said.
The two took off their shoes and followed the old Imam into the mosque. When they walked in, they both felt a strong five-element spiritual energy gathered in the yard. It was precisely because the five-element spiritual energy was matched in a wonderful way that a magic circle appeared in the entire mosque like mustard seeds and Sumeru land sealing. From the outside, the mosque was very small, but it was very large inside. And because of the influence of some kind of force, it was not easy to be noticed. It was similar to the six-path reincarnation map of Xu Changqing.
"Yeah!" Su Chawei suddenly frowned. He seemed to feel something was wrong. So he immediately rolled up his clothes. He saw that the old wound on his waist was drained by the five elements spiritual energy in the temple. The dry and slightest recovery was gradually recovered. He also became much more relaxed.
"The person who tied the bell needs to be untied. Senior is relaxed." Xu Changqing congratulated Su Chawei and quietly experienced the flow of the five elements of the mainland of the mosque. He seemed to want to find a trace of the rules.
