The breeze blows, and white clouds drift by my feet.
This is the height of 4,580 miles from Zhentian Tower. A steel beam about ten feet thick protruded diagonally out of the Tianzhen Tower, which was hundreds of feet away. It held up a small platform with a radius of no more than thirty feet. There are pavilions and pavilions on the platform, and there is even a lake, a rockery, and several trees. Everything is exquisite, just like a rockery bonsai, everything is just right.
Qingmin led a few young witches to jump on the roof of the tallest six-story pavilion, carrying a long rope in his hand, with a huge white eagle tied to the rope, and he was flying a live kite there. I don¡¯t know what kind of medicine Qingmin put on the big eagle. The big eagle danced wildly in the sky with excitement, but it could not fly more than a hundred feet away. The shrill cry of the eagle could be heard far away in the sky.
¡®Hey~~~yo, hey~~~yo¡¯, a gray spiritual energy swirled on the top of the tower, and a huge boulder with a radius of dozens of feet was generated out of thin air and fell heavily. A large group of ant-like craftsmen rushed forward, using cables, iron rods and other objects to pry the boulder with all their strength, slowly push it away, and pile it where it should be. Not far away from them, there were several great witches standing lazily, but none of them came to help. Even if these great witches could easily move these boulders away, how could they do such a clumsy job?
¡®Dong dong dong dong¡¯, dozens of huge rocks fell from the sky. At one point, the craftsmen were so densely packed that they had no time to dodge, and dozens of people were killed by boulders. The great witches who oversaw the work quickly walked over, used witchcraft to move the boulders away, and then sprayed a stream of witchy flames onto the corpse, burning the lumps of flesh and blood into ashes. A witch on the side began to recite sacrificial incantations. These people who were smashed to death were directly used as sacrifices, and their souls and flesh and blood were dedicated to the ghosts and gods in the world. The craftsmen lowered their heads sadly, and no one dared to say a word.
¡®Dong dong dong dong¡¯, huge boulders fell one by one. Craftsmen only need to slightly adjust the position of these standard boulders to lay a flat layer of the tower. Naturally, a great witch used witchcraft to integrate the spiritual energy emitted from the building trees into the boulders, and connected the paved boulders with the tower body. A one-story tower with a radius of nine hundred miles and a height of tens of feet can be completely paved in less than one meal if all goes well. Among them, Jianmu played a huge role.
The rich green wood spiritual energy spreads on the tower, and the craftsmen are soaked in this viscous liquid-like spiritual energy. The fatigue and pain of their bodies are driven away by the spiritual energy, and they can work at their best every moment. In addition to eating and taking a short rest, nourished by Aoki's spiritual energy, they could work hard day and night until they were crushed to death by boulders or blown out of the tower by strong winds. 'Hey~~~yo, hey~~~yo', the heavy chants sang from the base of the lowest tower to the top of the highest tower. The chants were full of power and made the sky tremble. The earth was trembling, and the white clouds were shattered and floated away. Only the great witches remained indifferent.
Qi Xin was sitting on the small platform by the small lake, with a very large robe piled on her legs, holding a battle line, and was sewing the rips on the shoulders of the robe. The slender jade fingers that could flexibly pinch the witchcraft skills on weekdays were as stiff and heavy as iron pillars today. Qi Xin held the iron needle like a witch thorn, almost gritting her teeth as she inserted it randomly into the cracks. Suddenly, the iron needle struck her and stabbed her finger hard, and the iron needle clicked. It was shattered into pieces.
Raising her head in distress, Qixin grabbed the robe and pulled it gently. She found helplessly that she had sewn the front and back of the robe together again. Qi Xin, who was almost furious, looked around angrily, and suddenly burst out a burst of green flames from her mouth, burning the robe to pieces. Then, she shouted sternly: "Qingmin, go to the city and order a hundred sets of identical robes for Xia Jie Well, tell him that I sewed them all."
Qingmin shivered, and with a strong force on the long rope in his hand, the poor eagle fell headlong and hit the Tianzhen Tower hard. He was knocked into darkness and could no longer move. Qingmin murmured softly: "Brother Xia Jie is so pitiful, so pitiful A lot of his clothes have been burned off in the past few days."
Shaking his head, Qingmin smiled strangely and said: "However, he deserves it. He told sister Qi Xin that he liked women who were 'virtuous and housekeepers'. Hehe, he made sister Qi Xin learn to do those chores. Alas. , It¡¯s your own fault.¡± Qing Min shook his head and led a few witches to fly in the direction of Anyi City, and said with a smile: ¡°Brother Xia Jie must have drunk too much at that time, he definitely drank too much.¡±
With an extremely gloomy expression, Qi Xin gritted her teeth and grabbed a pair of leather shoes that had been kicked open from the foot of the rockery behind her. She found the tools to repair the leather shoes and started working hard. As a result, in less than a cup of tea, those poor leather shoes were reduced to ashes in Qi Xin's anger. Staring blankly at the white ashes on her hands, Qi Xin lamented with a sad face: "I forgotI told Qingmin to bring back some more pairs of leather boots. Xia Jie wears boots, but why do they always break down so quickly? These are boots made of flying dragon leather, are they considered strong? "
Xia Jie, who was being nagged behind by Qi Xin, was currently accompanying Taoist Duobao, diligently helping up a craftsman who had his hands and feet broken by a boulder and was about to be executed as a sacrifice. Taoist Duobao held the pure water in his hand and quickly drew talismans in the water bowl with his right hand. The bowl of pure water suddenly gave off a shining light. He gave the water to the craftsman, and the craftsman's injuries healed immediately. The craftsman was ecstatic and kowtowed to Taoist Duobao in thanks.
Taoist Duobao smiled and whispered a few words to the craftsman. As a result, Taoist Tongtian had one more follower.
Xia Jie stood beside Taoist Duobao. None of the great wizards who oversaw the work dared to come close to eavesdrop on Taoist Duobao. Xia Jie is the supervising minister and has supreme power of life and death over everyone in the Zhentian Tower construction site. He brought hundreds of Qi Refiners into the construction site. These Qi Refiners were busy healing the injured craftsmen all day long. They also said some mysterious and strange words to the craftsmen all day long. These things didn't matter. What? Xia Jie stopped there, and a large number of experts sent by the Xingtian family to assist Xia Jie stood behind Xia Jie. Which witch who doesn't know life and death dares to do anything?
Gradually, within a few days, the teachings of this sect gradually spread among the craftsmen at the construction site. However, there are some differences in concepts between the original Taoist's Tao and the Tongtian Taoist's Tao. The Qi Refiners led by Guangchengzi and the people led by Duobao Taoist preach at the same time, which often leaves the craftsmen confused.
Suddenly, a huge boulder crashed down not far away from Xia Jie. Like a frightened leopard, Xia Jie rushed over and hit the boulder with his kick, kicking the boulder several feet away and saving him. Killed several people under the stone. Amidst the "crunching" sound, the boots on his feet cracked again with a big gash.
Several craftsmen who were frightened to death hurriedly kowtowed to Xia Jie to thank him. Xia Jie shook his head, looked at the numb-looking wizards on the left and right, and said with a bitter smile: "No need to thank me. This is my senior brother, Taoist Duobao." . If you have any ailments, or if you have been frightened for a few days and have been unable to sleep at night, you can come to my senior brother to resolve them."
Taoist Duobao nodded cooperatively to the craftsmen, with a bright smile on his face. Where have these craftsmen seen such a gentle and caring shaman like Xia Jie? Where have you ever seen such a peaceful and approachable person with great supernatural powers like Taoist Duobao? For a time, they regarded the two as gods, and the importance of the disciples of Jiejiao in the hearts of the craftsmen increased with the words of these craftsmen.
Just a mile below Xia Jie and the others, craftsmen were hard at work carving the location of the witch formation on the ground, and several disciples of the original Taoist were also hard at work preaching. A Taoist wearing a moon-white Taoist robe with a windbag on his head, a kind-hearted and kind-hearted Taoist sat on a large piece of fine gold, and smiled at the craftsmen who had just completed the carving of a witch formation and said: " If there is a sudden violent fear in your heart, your heart cannot be at ease; if you encounter a fierce beast or poisonous insect in the wild, your life cannot be saved; just recite my name Cihang silently, and there will be great power to help you." A circle of warm white light comes from Taoist Cihang. The eyebrows shot out, covering these honest and simple craftsmen, causing a strong warmth to suddenly rise in their hearts, and their bodies and minds felt relaxed. A bright world seemed to stand out in front of their eyes, and the wonderful sounds of nature were faintly lingering in their ears.
Jiang Shang, who was looking increasingly older, was carrying a bamboo basket on his back and wearing coarse clothes. He sat among a group of resting craftsmen and told them in a homely tone how to identify herbs in the wild and how to find detoxifying and healing herbs. , various medicinal herbs for treating diseases. He took out herbs one by one from the bamboo basket and explained their characteristics and usage to these craftsmen in detail. The craftsmen around him were fascinated. This kind of knowledge could only be mastered by the great witches of Li Witch Palace.
After a while, the craftsmen called Jiang Shang, "Weng Shang." The rough-and-tumble Jiang Shang was like a bowl of water taken from the river and poured back into the river. It was too easy for him to blend in with these craftsmen.
The other layers depicting the location of the witch formation and the way the disciples preach are a bit dumbfounding.
A middle-aged Taoist with a swarthy face held a sword in his hand and led a group of powerful spirits such as Big Bear and Hushanjun to smash several huge rocks into pieces. The Taoist smiled and said: "I am Bai Li, the Qi Refiner of Bailu Island, and a direct disciple of the Grand Master. Listen carefully. If you believe in my sect, you should be protected by us. If anyone provokes you, please come to us. , I will help you vent your anger." A red light flashed in Bai Li's eyes, and a white flame suddenly appeared from a boulder next to him, and in an instant, the boulder as big as a lying cow was burned to ashes.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Several spirits who had just debuted from the dojo by the Goddess Lake grabbed a group of craftsmen by the neck and violently threatened them: "I'm telling you, that person led by Guangchengzi, youWe are not allowed to believe their words. If you want to believe it, you must believe what our senior brothers Duobao and Jinguang say. Ah, if you follow Guangchengzi and his gang, we will strangle you to death! "The craftsmen who were pinched by them were already foaming at the mouth, and they all nodded in agreement.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? By Guangchengzi, who was teaching Qi-refiners from the front, while this group of spirits threatened violently from behind, but they also cooperated perfectly.
Day by day, the Sky Tower has been built to a height of nearly 10,000 miles. The strong wind in the sky can blow rocks as big as bowls all over the ground. Construction at this time is even more difficult. The casualties of the craftsmen became increasingly heavy, and the time for the annual rotation promised by the royal court was still far away. Their moods were getting lower and lower day by day, and they fell into despair day by day.
The disciples of the two religions just filled the emptiness in the hearts of these craftsmen and soothed their despair. After a while, you can often hear the titles of 'Master Sanqing Master', 'Immortal Master' and 'Guru' being faintly heard when these craftsmen are taking a rest.
Xia Jie is also very satisfied with this situation. The craftsmen have sustenance in their hearts, their mood is not low at all, and the work progress is also improving steadily. As disciples of the two religions continued to enter the Tianzhen Tower construction site, and as they began to use Taoism to protect these craftsmen, the casualty rate on the construction site plummeted, which made Xia Jie very pleased. The great witches also felt happy. With fewer casualties among the craftsmen, the project progressed faster. Once the project progressed quickly, they, the great witches who oversaw the work, would take credit. Therefore, some great witches who were originally wary of the disciples of the two sects no longer bothered to pay attention to them. Missionary things.
But on this day, the Tianzhen Tower suddenly stopped working.
The reason is very simple. The food in the warehouse is almost exhausted. All the food and grass combined are only enough to sustain more than 100 million craftsmen and handymen for a day. Logically speaking, the external convoy transporting grain and fodder should have arrived two days ago.
After Xia Jie and Qi Xin discussed this issue with their subordinate officials, they sent envoys to Anyi City to report this issue to Lu Gui. Duguangzhiye is in Daxia, and the food transport convoys are heavily protected. It is basically impossible to intercept the food transport teams from all over Kyushu at the same time. Xia Jie's initial consideration was that there were some problems in Anyi City. Could it be that it was too expensive and the Tianzhen Tower did not need to be built? So the grain and grass shipments have also been stopped? This is even more impossible!
The messenger left the construction site, but there was no reply. That night, when not even a millet was found on the construction site, Xia Jie became anxious and prepared to go to Anyi City to ask for details. He is not worried about the progress of the Sky-Suppressing Tower, but is worried about the survival of the more than 100 million craftsmen on the Sky-Suppressing Tower that is more than 10,000 miles high. It would take more than a year for the craftsmen at the top to return to the ground without the help of the witch. Without food and grass, it is not impossible for people to starve to death.
As a result, just as he and Qi Xin were preparing to leave, a huge food transport team slowly rushed to the outer witch formation. A shaman with a school logo on his body opened the witch formation with a secret method and handed the documents into In the witch formation. This team comes from Zhengnan Sub-Prefecture and has 5,000 large carts with a standard load of 10,000 kilograms, all of which are filled with fine wine and other luxuries for the great witches to enjoy. At the same time, there were one million live beasts of burden, each carrying varying amounts of grain and livestock. These grains, grass and livestock were enough for the craftsmen in the Sky Tower to use for a month.
Xia Jie counted the food brought by this team with a sullen face. He stared at the school who was a little nervous and said angrily: "How many days can you last with just this small amount of food?" In addition to the craftsmen in the Tianzhen Tower, In the witch formation outside the tower, there are hundreds of military towns, large and small, with countless soldiers inside. These soldiers also need to eat and drink! If spread out like this, this little food can last ten days.
The principal looked at Xia Jie blankly, and after a long while he said: "Sir Sir, there are three groups of convoys ahead of us? They set off several days earlier than us."
A cold light flashed in Xia Jie's pupils. He stared at the school for a long time, especially on his neck for a long time. Xia Jie suddenly asked: "There was no trouble along the way? "
The school principal said in surprise: "What did you say, sir? How can there be any confusionah~~~ah~~ah~~~"
The schoolmaster suddenly let out a terrifying scream, his skin turned red for a moment, and his body swelled rapidly. Xia Jie's body suddenly bounced back more than ten feet, when the school exploded with a bang like a bomb, and thick black blood sprayed out dozens of feet away. At the same time, all the animals in the convoy and the soldiers escorting them screamed, and at the same time they expanded and exploded, staining all the food and grass with blood. Even the soldiers who greeted them, thousands of them, were stained with blood, piece by piece. The flesh and blood rotted rapidly, and the soldiers screamed in pain.
"This is~~~" Xia JieSuddenly a spiritual light flashed in the sea, and he yelled angrily: "Damn it, your body exploded!" Xia Jie was so angry that he cursed out the catchphrase of a certain friend in his previous life. What a familiar sight. This was clearly the corpse explosion technique best used by a certain dark force he had dealt with in his previous life! Moreover, the corpse explosions seen in the previous life were definitely not as powerful as what we saw today. What we saw in the previous life, the dirty blood and corpse fragments could be sprayed out several feet away, which was already an amazing level of cultivation.
Qi Xin rushed to Xia Jie's side. She tilted her head and glanced at Xia Jie, frowning and said, "What did you just say? Is it the dialect of your southern mountains and forests? 'Shi~bao', what does it mean?"
Xia Jie didn¡¯t answer Qi Xin¡¯s words because he heard a sound that made him feel ridiculous.
A gloomy, hoarse ringtone, like a ghost moaning underground, came from far away in the darkness. A little green will-o'-the-wisp flashed, and a thick gray fog floated from the ground a few feet above the ground. There is a rotten smell in the thick fog, and the fog flows obscurely, like a condensed spider web.
The Daxia soldiers, with their eyes flashing green, ran over as fast as lightning. They opened their big mouths and showed ferocious smiles at Xia Jie and the others. In their mouths, four long fangs shining with pale cold light were clearly visible. Behind them, countless animals walked over with heavy steps and lifeless steps. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that these animals have died long ago, but they are urged by a mysterious force to stand up again.
"The art of exorcising corpses, this is the secret method of Youwu Temple, but it is only an unpopular secret method!" Qi Xin shouted in surprise.
Xia Jie discovered from those extremely familiar features that this was not the corpse exorcism technique of the Nether Witch Palace. It was clearly the summoning of the dead by the necromancer. But when did the Necromancer appear under the sky of Daxia? Why do they appear with these controlled vampire descendants?
Several figures familiar to Xia Jie emerged from among the livestock. They were the envoys sent by Xia Jie to Anyi City.
These messengers with blood-gleaming eyes gave out a triumphant smile, and one of them said in a sharp voice: "Xia Jie, Daxia destroyed Atlantis, then Atlantis will definitely do the same. Destroy Daxia. This is fate!"
This voice is so familiar.
Xia Jie said gloomily: "Cain, have you finally become a traitor?"
¡°I have a headache,¡± Xia Jie¡¯s brows furrowed tightly. All the monsters and monsters jumped out at once.
