Chapter 42: Weird
Chu Xin pulled him over at this time and gave him a look. Only then did he realize that everyone looked at him as if they thought that everyone in the world should know about it.
Chu Xin pulled him at the back of the team and said, "Actually, this is a secret known to the whole people. ”
"Huh?" Huang Xiaodou didn't know why. "Please, be specific. ”
"You really don't know?" she elaborated, "I also heard from one of my teachers when I was ten years old.
Once upon a time, people thought that the living had a place for the living, and for the dead, there was a place for the dead. But the folk are just talking about ghosts. Emperors can do more. They seek out all the talented people in the world to help them achieve their wishes, hoping that they will also have an imperial city after death.
It is said that this was the birth of the Imperial City Water Palace. ”
"Then why is this palace in the water, and why is it like another world?" Huang Xiaodou continued.
Chu Xin said: "I don't know much about this. ”
Ma Yuncheng leaned over and said: "It is said that the queen at that time made the hidden guards pay the price of their lives to hunt an ancient giant beast, this giant beast's stomach pouch is like a Qiankun bag, and it is not visible on the surface, but it is actually very vast inside. So the stomach pouch was made into a new world.
Water is yin, and it is said that water leads to yin and yang. ”
Huang Xiaodou looked around cautiously and said to him, "So this is the imperial tomb, right?"
Ma Yuncheng touched the stone statue of the soldier next to him and said, "If you don't say so, it can be regarded as a kind of imperial tomb~"
Chu Xin said: "Didn't you say that you were buried as an imperial mausoleum? ”
Huang Xiaodou was a little shocked and looked at her fixedly. Chu Xin nodded slightly. Ma Yuncheng on the side also had a trance-like look in his eyes.
"Then there is really a soul? Also, it is said that it is the imperial palace and the imperial city and the imperial mausoleum, why don't you call the emperor the king?"
That's the kind of question he shouldn't ask. Chu Xin is okay, but Ma Yuncheng feels a little strange, even if the soul is a person in this Jiaozhou after all, how can he not even understand these common senses?
Chu Xin said: "Today's king is not a member of the royal family, the king refuses to be the emperor, he is waiting for the real heir." ”
"So, what are we here for?" Huang Xiaodou asked again.
"Ahh
Everyone turned around, only to see that Ma Yuncheng was actually lifted up by a soldier statue!
Hua Huazi glanced at the grass in her hand and asked urgently, "What's the matter?"
Before anyone could answer him, the stone statues on one side suddenly stomped their spears in unison, and collectively turned their heads towards them!
The grass in Huahuazi's hand did not move, but the stone statues were clearly hostile to them!
Huang Xiaodou stepped forward and swung his sword, trying to save Ma Yuncheng, only to find that the stone statue was very hard, and the usual swing of the sword had no effect. The stone statue turned its face to him, and he chuckled in his heart, and sure enough, the stone statue came towards him, and the other stone statues seemed to move together, and the spears were raised and came towards them.
Huang Xiaodou grabbed Ma Yuncheng, a bursting charm was attached to the stone statue's arm, boom, it was really useful, the stone arm trembled and shattered, Ma Yuncheng fell into the water and rolled, and hurriedly got up with Huang Xiaodou's pull, got on his own flying magic weapon, and ran away by himself without any care.
Everyone knows that he has no combat power, and he is worse than Huahuazi, so no one blames him. It's just that the boss asked him to follow them to the Imperial City Water Palace.
It is estimated that Feng Qianqiu will feel wronged when he hears this. After all, he just asked Ma Yuncheng and Huang Xiaodou to go down the mountain together, but he didn't expect that he really had the courage to go down to the Imperial City Water Palace with these seven people!
Chu Xin and the others all put on a posture of preparing for a big battle, but Huang Xiaodou saved the person and ran up the jade steps in front, shouting in his mouth: "Let's go, don't fight, don't fight, it's too difficult to fight!"
This thing is big and hard, and it is no good to kill it, Ma Yuncheng raised his hands in favor and took the lead to run to the stone steps of the middle hall.
Hanako showed that he did not object to it with his actions, and followed Ma Yuncheng up the stone steps.
The remaining five people and one dog looked at the stone statue, looked at the three people on the stone steps and the big servant who was running over there, and quickly and decisively chose to go up the stone steps!
Seeing that the stone statues were slow, they had the intention of catching up, and everyone hurriedly ran up and entered the nave on the stone steps.
Huahuazi is the first one, and as soon as the foot is inserted, he "hissed", and the people behind arrived and found that the hall had a high threshold, and the hall was black and rumbling, so he did not find that the ground here was also the water with the threshold at the first time.
"What a hell of a place. Hanako grumbled, still sticking her foot in.
"The statues didn't catch up. The silent Kun Lei said.
Huang Xiaodou was stomping his feet, wanting to dry his feet a little, but he was more relieved to hear his words, so he directly took off his shoes and socks to squeeze the water, and steamed them dry with mana.
Chu Xin said: "After drying it for a while, you don't want to get wet when you enter the hall?"
Huang Xiaodou shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I plan to go around the platform, or simply fly over, I'm afraid of water now!"
Hearing this, An took his left foot into the nave and asked, "Aren't you curious about what's in this hall?"
Huang Xiaodou said: "It doesn't matter, looking at the outside is so tattered, it must be not very good inside, besides, there are more people who arrived before us, even if there are really good things inside, they must have been taken away." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Ma Yuncheng's unbridled laughter came from the middle hall, "Wow hahaha~ Fortune is rich~ Wow, this jade mountain~ This imperial chair! Wow!
Hua Huazi persuaded on the side: "Don't touch, don't touch, you are despising the imperial power!"
Kun Lei followed behind and asked, "Can you really take this? Can you take that one?"
Chu Xin also entered inside, standing on the side and frowning.
Qiao Mu pulled Duyan, and the visit was generally pointed around to let him see, looking very happy for a couple to travel. Duyan looked impatient and blushed a little. The servant was a little alert and followed his master's side.
Huang Xiaodou and Ting'an stood at the door and watched, Kun Lei was calling Ting'an to go in, Ting'an was eager to try, and looked at Huang Xiaodou.
Huang Xiaodou shook his head and said, "Forget it, I always feel that this place is a bit evil, you see, I am looking at those stone statues outside." ”
Hearing Ann look back, several of those stone statues were fixed on the jade steps, and the others had already returned to their original positions. He thought it was weird, and he couldn't put it into words. After thinking about it, he rejected Kun Lei and said to Huang Xiaodou: "I'll stay here with Senior Brother Xifeng!"
Huang Xiaodou smiled at him and helped him dry his shoes with fire.
The two of them stood guard on both sides of the wide gate. Ma Yuncheng inside was wantonly collecting money, and Hua Huazi couldn't persuade him to lose his temper on the side. Chu Xin felt bored and went out of the hall.
*
Huang Xiaodou guarded the door for a while and felt bored, leaned on the door and looked in, and found that these guys had gone to the back of the middle hall, he smiled helplessly, and called An Dao: "Let's go too, go around from this side, and take a look at what's inside the side door by the way." ”
Ting'an nodded and followed him.
The two walked along the platform at the edge of the nave, chatting while admiring the carved patterns on the doors and pillars outside the nave, as well as the floral and bird patterns painted on the top of the gallery.
Huang Xiaodou felt that these patterns were a little dizzying, so he turned his face away from looking at them, and said to Ting'an: "When did you switch to a bow and arrow?"
Ting'an glanced sideways at the bow on his back, and smiled: "A few days ago, I practiced sword with my senior brother, and I happened to be seen by the master, who said that I had no sword intent, but the accuracy was good, so I started to use the bow." ”
Huang Xiaodou said: "Master also said that I have no sword intent, not even murderous aura. ”
Ting'an said: "That...... I heard from my brother that you saved his life and killed the mother spider of the gluttonous spider?"
Huang Xiaodou said lightly: "Just because there is no murderous aura does not mean that it will not end life." ”
The two soon arrived at the side door, and when they looked into the threshold, it was still a vast ocean.
"There's really water everywhere here!" Huang Xiaodou said strangely.
Ting'an said: "I just looked over there, the water here will flow out along the drainage channel, but why is it still full here?"
Huang Xiaodou heard this, looked back, and sure enough, he saw that the faucets around the high platform were flowing outward, and he said, "Maybe this water is not in the hall." ”
Listen to An: "Where will that be?"
Huang Xiaodou shook his head and said, "Hell, this is a weird place. After saying that, he jumped out of the pillar on one side, climbed the eaves of the porch and climbed to the roof, and said, "Will you come up too?"
Listening to An Qinggong is better than him, and it is easy to go to the room.
The two of them looked at each other, and they all said "wow". It's so big here, with golden rooftops everywhere!
Huang Xiaodou climbed to the top of the nave again, where it was higher and saw farther.
Ting'an followed closely behind, looking into the distance and admiring, "How much manpower and material resources do you need and how much time does it take to complete such a big project!"
Huang Xiaodou was silent for a while, and said: "You say, what is the purpose of our coming here? There are no demon beasts here, the environment is not so bad, although those stone statues are weird, they will not chase and fight us, what kind of experience are we for?"
Hearing An also began to think about this question, he naturally didn't know the answer.
Huang Xiaodou continued to ask his question, "Is the king allowing us to come in just to let us practice? Isn't he afraid that someone will write down the layout and appearance of this imperial city, and then plot against it? Also, has the king ever been here?"
Listening to Ann's heart was shocked by his series of questions. He had never considered these questions, as a disciple of Qingshan Sect who did not have much experience, didn't they all do whatever the masters arranged?
Unexpectedly, Huang Xiaodou's question was not over here, "The strangest thing is that the eight sects, why did they go to our Qingshan Gate first? ”
Hearing that An had something to say this time, he said: "I don't remember who said it, the order of the experience seems to be determined by the old immortal." He is the oldest and longest-lived person in the eight sects, and everyone is willing to sell his old man a face. ”
Huang Xiaodou's brows relaxed for a moment, but tightened again.
"Why haven't they come out yet?"
