In the canyon, the water is foaming, rushing out of the narrow mountains and onto the fertile plains, irrigating the lush land.
The sky is so bright and the grass is lush and green, it seems like a bright spring suburb.
However, the strange thing is that such a beautiful scenery is surprisingly silent.
There are no chirping insects, birds, or sounds of life in the wild here. There is only a pure silence, and only the occasional rustle of the wind blowing through the grass. At this time, it sounds like thunder.
Silently, a will-o'-the-wisp-like air ball appeared in the grass. The will-o'-the-wisp that appeared in broad daylight did not avoid the sun and wandered around at an incredible speed. When it moved, it only left a shadow in the sky. Already a hundred feet away.
The will-o'-the-wisp is wandering around for no reason, scurrying around, seemingly not knowing where it is heading, and having no fixed purpose, just moving so strangely and quickly.
Suddenly, another will-o'-the-wisp appeared a hundred feet away from it.
The will-o'-the-wisp moved forward, as if wanting to move forward, then hesitantly stepped back, and suddenly said: "Who are you!" The voice was flat, like the resonance of wood.
Just listen to the will-o'-the-wisp opposite: "I am Dali, which fellow Taoist is in front of me?" The voice is flat and ugly, as if it is carved from the same mold as the will-o'-the-wisp opposite.
The will-o'-the-wisp breathed out a breath and said: "It turns out to be Dali, I I am the battle robe."
The will-o'-the-wisp who called himself Dali said: "Ah, King Dong, have you become like this too?"
The shirt snorted and said: "This place is too evil. As soon as I came in, I became neither human nor ghost."
Dali sighed: "It's the same for me. I went in with all my strength and became a monster. And even my voice became like this. Although my whole body's cultivation is still there, I can't cast even half a spell in vain. It's really It¡¯s strange. Could it be some kind of curse?¡±
The shirt said: "This is the strange thing about the land of Guanzhong. When monks from outside come in, they will be restricted. If it becomes like this, what else can you do to blame? After all, it was the Immortal Dynasty back then, and the Hedao Emperor didn't care about it. In my eyes, I have been practicing self-healing for three thousand years. I have never suffered such a conspiracy. If it is a formation, it is very cleverly arranged and there are no flaws at all. It cannot be sensed at all."
Dali said: "It is the right thing to not be able to sense any flaws. The weight of the emperor of the Immortal Dynasty and the weight of the wheel basket are nothing at all. It is natural for us to be suppressed when we come in. Don't act rashly yet. This place is not far from the barrier. . Let¡¯s move along the barrier and find our companions first.¡±
"You are easy-going," said the man in the shirt.
The two will-o'-the-wisps were walking side by side at a not too far distance apart. Sure enough, they saw another will-o'-the-wisp in front of them. After asking, they found out that it was Bo Ye.
The team of will-o'-the-wisps grew bigger and bigger, and the emperors joined in one after another. In the end, eight people gathered, and more than half a day passed. In a blink of an eye, the sun has set in the west. Although there are two worlds, inside and outside, the angle of the sun has not changed.
But after gathering eight people. The procession came to an abrupt halt. No matter what, the last person is never found.
Concubine Mo Xiang is gone.
When night falls, everything is completely silent. The eight will-o'-the-wisps live up to their name, emitting a faint blue light in the night, and they gather together like a group of wronged ghosts.
Finally, the aging ghost fire said: "Everyone, the twelve hours have come, and Taoist friend Mo Xiang is afraid that she may not come. Anyway, it's not that we abandoned her, it's that she couldn't make it on her own, and she has no chance to live on the rooftop. What else is there to say? Let¡¯s go inside right now.¡±
"I don't know if it's Concubine Mo Xiang who's gone," the shirt suddenly said in a sinister way.
Boye said: "What does King Dong mean?"
The shirt said: "That bitch has been fighting with me all her life, and I know her methods? Is she really gone? We are like this, everyone has the same look and the same voice, who can tell who is who? Maybe she Right here, assuming someone else's name, waiting for an opportunity. From what I know about her, she can do such a thing."
Dali said: "Isn't it? Although she is powerful, we are all emperors here, who is a vegetarian? Oh, I am a vegetarian. I mean, who is giving it for free? Why is it abnormal for her not to come in? Others are being Is assassination normal?"
Boye suddenly said: "Even if fellow Taoist Concubine Mo Xiang mixes among us, so what?"
Everyone was startled, and Dali said: "That's right, are we going to raise or relax our vigilance just because he is Dali or Concubine Mo Xiang? Wherever we want to go, we can go as long as we have enough people, we will just form a team temporarily. As for It doesn¡¯t matter who your teammates are, does it? Whoever has no luck has not come in, what does it have to do with us?¡±
The shirt snorted, accepting this statement and said: "I hopeShe is outside, otherwise she can pretend not to be there, but in fact she can do things like hiding in secret and making sneak attacks. "
Yin Lao said calmly: "If she can sneak attack under the eyes of eight emperors and escape unscathed, then she will be the only one to go to the rooftop, and no one can compete with her. However, I feel that she cannot go with us. Her regret is definitely not our regret." After saying that, a light flashed in the will-o'-the-wisp, and a Daoxuan Fruit fell out, and he said: "Do you all still have the Daoxuan Fruit? Take it out and determine the location."
Seven will-o'-the-wisps spit out seven Daoxuan fruits. The eight fruits gathered together, cast a hazy light, and slowly rotated spontaneously according to the Bagua directions. Finally, the fruit representing the position of Kun moved slightly and was lifted up.
In the due south!
The will-o'-the-wisps understood immediately, and then stepped forward in unison, taking out their Daoxuan Fruit into the body again to determine the direction. After the determination, everyone no longer worried that their share would leak out.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the canyon, and saw the endless plains. Although there are no traces of human beings, the plains are still divided into squares according to the shape of farmland, with traces of canals and streets still visible. It's just weeds growing in the farmland.
Along the way, whether passing through mountains, valleys, or plains and woodlands, there was an eerie silence. In addition, everyone had their own concerns and did not talk in private, making this trip a truly silent journey.
The longer this absolutely silent environment lasts, the greater the pressure it will put on people, and it can even drive a good person crazy. And this silent journey has no end in sight.
On the road, everyone tried to use magical powers more than once in private. Gradually, with their profound skills and cultivation, as well as superior adaptability and wisdom, they all found some ways. In such a desperate situation, it is not impossible to use magical powers, but Everyone hid their discovery as a trump card, maintaining the appearance that no one could move.
I don't know how long it has passed through a large number of barren farmland all the way. A long narrow shadow in the distance appeared at the junction of the horizon.
City wall?
Is it the city wall of the ancient capital of the Immortal Dynasty?
A thought flashed through everyone's mind, and then they were quite surprised. As a secret place in Guanzhong that had disappeared for many years, even if it was a ruin, it was too random to appear in front of them.
Although we saw a line of city wall early, it took a whole day to move this visual distance. It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that everyone witnessed the ancient ruins at close range. In an instant, a shocking feeling filled everyone's hearts.
As emperors, they each have their own cave sects, and some even control a realm of monasticism. They can build their own residences, such as Yinlao's Tianluan Palace, Boye's Shangqing Palace, and Dali's Ten Thousand Buddhas Pagoda. , are all splendid and magnificent buildings. These monks never thought that they would be simply frightened by the size of the building.
And today, I was just scared.
Standing under the city wall, everyone discovered that no matter which side they looked up, down, left, or right, they could never see the end point from the wall. Especially the height. It is a high wall that would be tiring even if you fly up it. If you didn't look closely and you can see the vague strips of stone cracks, everyone would think that it is a cliff that towers into the clouds.
Huge, magnificent, boundless
These adjectives are perfectly suitable to describe this section of the city wall. The word "magnificent" seems to have been created to praise this section of the city wall. With this wall, if other buildings use this word again, it would be overestimating their capabilities.
Everyone has this question in their mind. If this is a city wall, how big should the city be? How many people can it accommodate? Ten million? Hundreds of millions?
From today's perspective, it is difficult to imagine the glory of that era. Today's ruins are like silhouettes of ancient times, smeared in people's hearts.
Dali let out a long breath and said slightly excitedly: "We discovered the ruins of Xiandu?"
Boye said: "It might be the capital of the Immortal, or it might just be one of the countless ordinary cities in the Immortal Dynasty. I heard that the Immortal Dynasty built hundreds of huge cities in those days. Maybe it's because we don't see many strange things, so we regard the giant cities that were common at that time as The supreme immortal capital.¡±
Yin Lao said: "In my opinion, this is 80% likely to be the Immortal Capital, because there is a rooftop in it, or at least something related to the rooftop"
Everyone was overjoyed at the same time, and the shirt said: "So, we were so lucky that we found the right place at the first time? The rooftop is actually in the city?"
Although it is too much to have the rooftop in the city, everyone has always felt that if it is such a huge city, it might really be able to accommodate the rooftop.
The old devil suddenly said: "I told you, old man Yin, now that we are at the place, we still need toShall we go in as a team? "
Everyone's thoughts were already alive. If they were a little frightened about this world when they first came in, but after this journey, no ghosts were seen who had a safe journey. The emperors' selfish thoughts came back again, and they looked at the others. It is already redundant.
Yin Lao said: "You can search for the rooftop separately, but in the end you still have to collect all eight Daoxuan Fruits plus the ninth one to truly cause changes in the world. Anyway, I think everyone is not willing to go all the way. Then we should go over the wall separately. Go in and search for the rooftop separately. No matter what, you have to collect eight Daoxuan Fruits when you gather on the rooftop. Go ahead."
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of his words, and heard the implication that what he wanted to gather was only eight Tao Xuan Fruits, as for how many people could gather, it was casual.
ps: I still haven¡¯t recovered from my cold, so I¡¯ll write a little bit first, so everyone can join in and read it.
