Chapter 379: The Disappearing Imperial City
Passing from the low altitude below the dark clouds, it is a test of a person's courage and psychological endurance, the "roaring" clouds above his head, some orange or blue light escapes from it, Lu Tao is very worried, whether those rays of light will split his head in the next moment, making his hair into some kind of indescribable shape.
Oh...... Lu Tao suddenly remembered, for some reason, he has no hair now, and the top of his head is blown cold by the wind, and he always feels an inexplicable sense of emptiness.
Through the translucent "flying carpet" under his buttocks, Lu Tao could see the fleeting scenery below, because the speed was too fast, those scenery became a yellow and green blur, and he couldn't see it clearly.
Above the "flying carpet", Xiao Tao grabbed Liu Ruyan's arm, closed his eyes and didn't dare to move, Liu Ruyan and Peony, but they didn't seem to have such fear, the two ignored the "booming" thunder above their heads, and still looked around, as if they were quite curious about flying.
Lu Tao didn't feel this way at all, after all, he had not only been in a flying car, but also a flying sword, although the experience was not very good every time, but he was also a character who had crossed the sky, Lu Tao felt that if he had the opportunity next time, he would make up for the plane again, and his life would be complete, of course, the premise was that he had to return to his original world.
Soon, Lu Tao saw the big pit that the bald man said, the big pit with unpredictable depth, like a funnel, showing a shape that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, only in the last narrow place all the way down, I don't know how deep it extends, those exposed soil, black or red, and some large rocks break from the middle, at first glance, there is no flaw on the surface.
The "flying carpet" landed, and when it landed, there was almost no feeling, but Lu Tao couldn't care about the convenience and speed of such a "flying carpet", and walked to the direction of the edge of the big pit with the peony.
There were already a lot of people standing next to the big pit, three or two people gathered in a pile, as if they were talking about something, and when they got closer, Lu Tao saw clearly that a big lake next to it was leaking water into the funnel-shaped pit, along the surface of the somewhat smooth pit all the way to the end, and then it was swallowed up by the deep pit in the shape of a long neck.
Lu Tao looked around, but he couldn't tell if this was the original location of Wuyang, he came into the big pit, a small circle of three, those people looked like nearby villagers, wearing dark linen clothes, and even a person was carrying a bundle of firewood on his back.
"This old man, may I ask what is going on in this pit?"
The conversation was interrupted, and the old man was not annoyed, he turned around, looked Lu Tao up and down, and then said: "Little monk, in fact, we don't know what happened, this is the original Great Qin Imperial City Wuyang, we were fine when we came over in the morning, and when we came back in the afternoon, it became like this, fortunately, I don't have a family in this city, do you see the people over there? They all have family members or acquaintances in the city, so they are sad like this." ”
"......" Lu Tao touched his bald head, and then looked at the clothes on his body
I don't look like a little monk, but now is not the time to think about it, the direction of the old man's finger is another circle of people who are surrounded by people, some of them are lying on the ground and crying, some are comforting on the side, some are angry, and some are kneeling on the ground, and they keep kowtowing in the direction of the big pit, thinking that this is some kind of miracle.
glanced at Peony, but Peony didn't have any superfluous expression, there should be a lot of people in this city that Peony knows, not to mention Peony, Lu Tao himself still knows Xu Bo and Xiaoyun, as well as Yunxi and Xiaorou. But for the time being, Lu Tao has not planned for the worst, even if a deep pit suddenly appears and engulfs the entire city, there are other possibilities, although Lu Tao does not know what kind of ability he has to move the entire city to other places.
"You said all this, could it be caused by the black hole that appeared before?" Peony glanced at the direction of the pit again, and turned back to Lu Tao and said.
Lu Tao hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Is this really possible...... But now we can neither prove that the black hole is the cause of the current one, nor can we prove that it is not. ”
"As long as there is a possibility. Peony nodded: "What I want to know now is what is down here, and what does it have to do with the black hole that appeared before." ”
Lu Tao shook his head, about this, he really has no way of knowing, even in the original world, you have never had such a thing, there is a pit on the ground from time to time, but this is all because of the subsidence of groundwater, or digging the wrong way when digging the subway, obviously, no matter how fierce the groundwater, it is impossible to make this place look like this, and there is no subway here.
However, under the imperial city, there are several tunnels that extend in all directions.
At this time, the bald man walked up and asked Lu Tao, "How? Can you confirm the original location of this big pit, which is what you call Wuyang?"
Lu Tao nodded: "That's right, this is Wuyang City, but if you want to find the emperor of Great Qin, he should not ...... now"
"Sure enough, I feel an evil force down here! Hahaha! Then we'll meet later, thank you for your guidance!"
Halfway through Lu Tao's words, he was cut off from the middle by the bald man, and then, the bald man jumped forward, drew a graceful arc in mid-air, and accurately fell into the bottom of the big pit, like a long neck in the bottomless pit. Lu Tao, who was quick-eyed, stretched out his hand, but didn't catch anything.
Lu Tao: "???"
What the hell? Why did you jump off all of a sudden? I haven't finished my sentence yet!
The group of people around the pit also let out an exclamation, as if they didn't understand why the man who looked very strong just now wanted to kill himself. Lu Tao scratched his head, touched the air again, glanced at the peony, Lu Tao spread his hands helplessly: "What should I do now?" I always feel that this place is getting stranger and stranger. ”
"I've seen a lot of strange things in the palace, but it's the first time I've seen something like this now, which directly makes an entire city disappear, and there are no such rumors on this continent, so I don't know what to do
Do. ”
Lu Tao thought about it, in fact, what they should do now is to find His Majesty the Emperor who was taken away by Fang Tianhua, but unfortunately now they have completely lost their goal, originally Lu Tao thought that Fang Tianhua would take the emperor back to the Imperial City, after all, the original altar was also here, if he wanted to do it again, then he could only return here. It's a pity that now that even the entire city has disappeared, Lu Tao really can't guess where Fang Tianhua will take the emperor to, he knew that when he woke up in the woods that had been struck by lightning before, he shouldn't be in a hurry to rush to the direction of the imperial city, he should have spent more time searching for Fang Tianhua's location.
"Why don't we wait here for a day or two and see, maybe there will be a new turnaround. ”
Liu Ruyan ripped off the little peach lying on his body, and proposed this to the two, Lu Tao thought for a while, and then nodded: "That's okay, but before that, we need to find something from nearby." ”
......
The night was a little heavy around it, and the rain in the sky did not fall at last, but only obscured all the starry sky and the bright moon, and dyed the earth with a pitch black that was almost invisible.
The nearest village to this big pit is three kilometers away, and in the end, Lu Tao had to choose to buy some things for the night from a nearby village, because Liu Ruyan had a lot of money on him, these things were easy to get his hands on, in addition to food and firewood for burning, Lu Tao also bought several large bundles of straw, as well as a few thick rolls of linen, and let people transport them over.
This is in case it starts to rain at night, you can also use linen and straw to set up a tent, although the linen cloth is not waterproof, but a few more layers, plus straw and dense leaves on the head, can also relieve the rain a little, as long as it does not rain like last time, all the leaves on the top of the head are scraped away.
After lighting the bonfire, there is food boiling in the cauldron, and two chickens bought from the villagers, after being processed in advance, they are inserted with wooden skewers and put on the flame for convenience, as the flame slowly heats up, the fat under the chicken skin and the aroma of the meat are emitted together, plus the porridge in the pot, it is tonight's dinner.
Several people sat together around the bonfire, on the other side was the big pit where Wuyang City was originally located, and the lake that originally flowed down the edge of the pit has now stopped, only the dots of wet marks remain on the wall of the big pit, but at this time, it is not clear to see.
Around the big pit, there are no other people for a long time, quiet and quiet, like a paradise.
Peony stared at the burning flames, and suddenly turned to Liu Ruyan and said, "Liu Ruyan, why are you still following us?" Since even the imperial city is gone, there is no need for you to follow us, you can go back and tell you the remnants of Dayue that the Great Qin royal family has been destroyed. ”
Liu Ruyan shook his head: "I don't believe it, the Great Qin Imperial Family has disappeared like this, and my purpose is not here, I want to take away a thing from the emperor of Great Qin, a thing that was snatched by you, it belongs to our Dayue." ”
Lu Tao looked at the conversation between the two, and didn't dare to interject at all, he always felt that there was tension between the two, and it seemed that if they didn't agree with each other, there would be a battle, and it was too late to hide, how could they get up. 2k reading web
