He felt around for a piece of wood, found one and lit it, then looked again at the scarred surface of the stone door, the relic of the death struggle of the skeletons around them
"We're finished!" Huo Qingtong said, despairingly
Princess Fragrance grabbed her hand"Sister, don't be afraid!"
Chen forced a smile"It would be strange if we three died here
For some reason, he felt a sense of relief wash over him as if a great weight had been taken from his shouldersHe picked a skull off the ground and said to it: "Well brother, you have three new companions Princess Fragrance gasped, and then laughed out loud
Huo Qingtong looked at them both"Let's go back to the Jade Room," she said after a while"Once we've settled down we can start thinking things through
They walked back the way they had comeHuo Qingtong shop for chanel bags pulled out the map once more and pored over it, desperately searching for a way outChen knew that if they were to escape it was more likely to be because of outside help or because Zhang returned to look for themBut how could rescuers find them? And Zhang, after the fright he had just received, was unlikely to dare to come in again
"I want to sing a song," Princess Fragrance announced
"Please do," replied Chen
She sang for a while then stopped, concerned about Huo Qingtong who was still staring hard at the map, her head resting on her hands
"Sister, you should rest for while," Princess Fragrance saidShe stood up and went over to the jade bed and said to the skeleton lying on it: "Excuse me, I wonder if you could move over a bit? My sister needs to lie down and rest She carefully pushed the bones into a pile in the chanel denim handbag corner of the bed"Oh!" she said, picking something up"What's this?"
Chen and Huo Qingtong walked over and saw she was holding a goatskin scroll of great antiquityThe scroll had turned black, but under the sunlight, it was possible to see it was covered in writing, all in an ancient Muslim handHuo Qingtong glanced through it, and pointed at the skeleton on the bed
"It was written by this girl with her own blood just before she diedHer name was Mami," she said
"Mami?" asked Chen
"It means 'beautiful'I'm sure she was very beautiful when she was alive She put down the book and went back to examining the map
"Does the map indicate some other exit?" Chen asked
"There appears to be a secret tunnel somewhere, but I can't work out where"Would you read out this Miss Mami's last words to me?" he asked Princess FragranceShe rock of love tiffany's necklace nodded, and began to quietly recite:
"Everyone in the city, thousands upon thousands of people are all deadThe guards of the Mountain and the warriors of Islam are all deadMy Ali has gone to meet Allah, and his Mami will be going soon tooI will write our story out here, so that the children of Allah will know that, victorious or defeated, our warriors of Islam fight to the end, and never surrender!"
"So this lady was not only beautiful, but courageous too," commented Chen
Princess Fragrance continued to read:
"Baojunlonga oppressed us for forty yearsIn those forty years, he forced thousands of commoners to construct this secret city and carve out the chambers and halls within the Sacred MountainAfter he died, his son Sanglaba proved to be even more cruelOf every ten goats raised by the Muslim people every year, chanel j10 watch knockoff four had to be given to him; of every five camels, he claimed twoWe became poorer and poorer each yearAny beautiful daughters among the Muslim families were taken into the city, and once there, none ever came out alive
"We are the brave children of IslamCould we stand such oppression from these pagans? Of course not! Over a period of twenty years, our warriors attacked the city five timesBut each time, they lost because they could not find their way through the mazeOn two occasions, they made it into the Sacred Mountain but Sanglaba used some devilry to steal their weapons, and they were all killed by his guards
"That's the magnet," said ChenPrincess Fragrance nodded and continued:
"In the year that I turned eighteen, my mother and father were killed by Sanglaba's men and my elder brother became the chief of our purple fendi bags t
