Chapter 187: Dragon Vein Movement
A few days later, in the south of the Land of Winds. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is an endless desert, desolate and bleak. The sand dunes are undulating like ocean waves. The wind did not stop, and the yellow sand covered the sky. The scorching sun seemed powerless in the face of the suffocating yellow dust, and could only give up the earth to a gray darkness.
However, there is a huge shadow in the middle of this desert, and even this overwhelming yellow cannot completely hide it, and the shadow is still faintly visible in the deepest part of the desert.
After entering the desert for hundreds of miles, I found that the huge shadow turned out to be a dense cloud of towering towers. At a glance, there are thousands of towers, towering above the desert like a huge forest.
Most of these towers are Gothic-style, tall and thin. The tower is elongated, mostly cylindrical or polygonal, with large areas of stained glass windows, as well as pointed and ribbed vaults. The spires range from sharp baroque spires to domed spires in the Romanesque style. Each tower has several overpasses of varying heights connected to the other towers, forming a dense Tallinn.
Below the tower are a large number of streets, squares, parks, and large areas of trees and meadows, forming a unique city. The sheer size of the city is breathtaking.
The base of the tower extends to the underground, and the ground of the whole city is artificially raised, supported by a large number of solid stone columns, and there is sunlight and air under the ground, and in addition to the tower base, there are also a large number of low bungalows, forming another style of underground city.
This is the legendary ancient city of Loulan, an independent kingdom in the Land of Winds, located in an oasis deep in the desert. (BGM: ひかりにわ, Saori Hayami)
In the center of the city is a large circular square, and directly behind the square rises the tallest tower in the city, which is more than several times larger than the other towers in the surrounding area. Reaching into the sky is crowned with a sun-shaped cross.
This is where the royal palace of King Loulan is located. On the upper floor of the tower is the grand hall of the royal palace, with two rows of columns on either side, and a magnificent throne in the center, behind which are huge floor-to-ceiling windows. The golden glow shines through the glass and illuminates the entire hall.
A middle-aged woman dressed in luxurious costumes sits on a throne, with beautiful black hair and a noble and elegant temperament.
And under her knees sat her fifteen or sixteen-year-old daughter, who was very beautiful, with fair skin, a flawless face, and a pair of lilac eyes, inheriting her mother's temperament.
At this moment, the daughter rested her head lightly on her mother's lap. The mother gently stroked her daughter's beautiful long crimson hair, then took out a small erection and gently plucked the strings with her fingers.
Mother and daughter sang the old ballad in unison:
“……
The light rising from the heights of Loulan
Mixed feelings
The veins of the dragon that must be guarded
The white light shines in, looking up at the sky
……
Dust and wind come together
It's a dazzling red day
The petals flutter and flutter
……”
The singing is graceful and intoxicating.
The melodious singing echoed throughout the palace and reached the bottom of the tower.
The lower level of the tower is a cylindrical inner tower that stands above the base of the tower deep underground. Follow the spiral staircase on the wall all the way down to the bottom and through a high arch to enter the inner tower.
Passing through a corridor, you will come to the central hall of the inner tower, which is a large circular hall with rows of vaulted windows on the walls around it.
The middle of the main hall is empty, except for a cylindrical platform in the center. At the bottom was a massive amount of materialized liquid chakra, which flowed with a light purple glow, forming a huge pool of bottomless water. Beneath the pool is actually a sea of chakras, and the chakras in the pool are just the tip of the iceberg.
This is the legendary dragon vein, the source of the huge chakra under the Loulan Ground, and the legend has endless chakra energy.
At the edge of the main hall is a stone bridge connected to the stone pillar platform in the middle. There are four standing humanoid stone statues on the platform, the four stone statues are of the same shape, all of them are in the shape of black-robed priests, and the stone statues form a square circle, forming a spell on the ground, and in the center of the spell is a raised hemispherical valve.
Chakra's light shone through the hemisphere, straight into the sky. This pale pink glow emanated from here to the top of the tower. At the same time, four beams of light are refracted on the four stone statues, illuminating the faces of the stone statues. And the vaulted windows on the surrounding walls shone with the same chakra light.
At this moment, without warning, the sea of Chakra trembled violently, and the waves rolled and surged!
Immediately after that, a large number of chakras erupted from the central hemisphere, and the light that shot into the sky instantly materialized and began to expand outward, and the huge pink pillar of light emitted a dazzling light, engulfing everything nearby.
The whole Loulan trembled. The ground of the city was torn apart by the force, and the floor crumbled and crumbled, revealing the underground city below. Some of the towers leaned and collapsed, with a loud bang, and a cloud of dust kicked up.
Faced with the sudden situation, the civilians of Loulan panicked and fled, screaming and shouting continuously.
"Boom!" The stone bridge connecting the center collapsed and shattered in the huge pillar of light, and was completely swallowed by the pillar of light. The walls of the inner tower were cracked, and the sturdy tower seemed to be crumbling in the strong tremors!
Suddenly, the huge pillar of light swelled and retracted, and then disappeared in a flash, as if the energy of the explosion had been released in an instant, and everything was calm again. The light from the hemisphere continued to shoot straight to the top of the tower, and the chakra ocean below gradually calmed down, as if nothing had happened just now.
"There is an abnormality in the dragon vein!" The guards guarding the dragon vein quickly rushed into the main hall. They found that the stone bridge connecting the platform had collapsed, and the dragon vein appeared to be unharmed.
"Huh, who is it?!"
The first guard to rush in saw what appeared to be a figure on top of the central platform. The figure was a little blurry, standing squarely next to the dragon vein, covered by a black robe, covered by a hood, very similar to the four stone statues beside him. If it weren't for the guard's sharp eyes, it wouldn't have been obvious at first glance.
But what is incredible is that the next moment the figure disappeared out of thin air, as if it had completely evaporated......
The guard hurriedly rubbed his eyes, and then fixed his eyes to see where there were any other figures on the platform, only four stone statues standing quietly. He turned back to his companion and asked, "Hey, did you see anyone on the platform just now?"
"Huh, who?" puzzled the companion.
"I guess I'm dazzled!" the guard thought he was looking at a stone statue and looking at a double shadow.
"How's the situation with the dragon vein?" At this time, the queen of Loulan also arrived, and she led people into the main hall quickly. Although the queen's face is calm, she is extremely worried in her heart, many countries are staring at the dragon vein!
"Your Majesty the Queen!" the dragon veins are safe!" the guard said respectfully.
Half an hour later, the queen and two guards came to the central platform by rope. After carefully probing the dragon veins, the queen put her hands on the hemisphere and chanted the incantation in her mouth, and the siege of the four stone statues subsided, and the valves of the hemisphere began to close to the center, and the beam of light that shot at the top of the tower disappeared, and the lilac chakra on the arch of the wall also dissipated.
To be on the safe side, the queen shut down the source of the dragon vein.
"Send people to guard this place, repair the stone bridge as soon as possible, and don't spread the word about it! Immediately organize people to rescue the suffering people and resettle the homeless. In addition, Loulan must be ready for battle to prevent the attack of other countries!" the queen had a solemn expression and gave several orders in succession.
"Yes!" the guards sprang into action.
The queen returned to the palace with some trepidation. At this time, her daughter came over and asked worriedly, "Mother, what happened?
"Don't be afraid, Sarah. Now what we have to do is to help the injured people!" the mother comforted her daughter.
……
Sand Hidden Village, Kazekage's Office.
"Knock!" knocked on the door of the Midai Kazekage's office, and a young man in his 20s opened the door and walked in. The person who came had short brown hair, a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, and a handsome face.
"Raksha, you're here!" said the third generation of Kazekage, with long black hair, looked up at the man who entered the door.
"Excuse me, Kazekage-sama!" Raksha saluted very respectfully, and then knelt down on one knee and waited for the three generations of Kazekage to arrange the task.
Luo Sha, with the [Magnetic Escape] Blood Relay Limit, can control the dust gold. Three generations of Kazekage's right-hand men, since the two disciples of the three generations died in the Second Ninja World War, Luo Sha has become the absolute henchmen of the three generations. At the same time, Raksha is also the future father of the three siblings Temari, I Airo, and Kankuro.
"Not long ago, there was a major earthquake in the ancient city of Loulan in the south...... "Three generations of wind shadows got up and looked out the window with their hands down.
"Could it be?" Luo Sha was shocked.
"Well! It should be that there has been a change in the dragon vein, I will send you to take someone to investigate the situation first! I will gather combat forces in Sha Yin and wait for the information you probe! If I can, Sand Yin will control and take over the dragon vein in order to protect Loulan's 'safety'!"
"Yes, Kazekage-sama!"
"Remember, it must be fast! Our 'ally' Konoha has also received the news!" Miyo reminded very seriously.
"Understood!Kazekage-sama, I'll leave at once!" Raksha's eyes suddenly appeared dark circles as soon as he made a seal, and then he seemed to turn into a ball of gold and float out of the window with the wind......
……
Konoha Village, Hokage's office. The three of Mizuto, Shiwei, and Dingza stood in front of the three generations of Hokage.
The three generations said solemnly: "I just received the news: there was a strange earthquake in Loulan!"
Shuimen was stunned: "Loulan, the kingdom in the desert that has the source of infinite chakra?"
The three generations nodded: "Yes! The dragon veins under the ancient city of Loulan are the source of infinite chakra, and they must not be obtained by people with ulterior motives! Bo Feng Shuimen, Oil Girl Zhiwei, and Qiu Dao Dingzuo, the three of you immediately set off to Loulan to investigate the situation. Attention, Sha Yin will also send people, I don't know if they will make a move on the dragon vein, it's best to get ahead of them!"
"Yes! Hokage-sama!" the three of them prepared to leave.
At this time, the office sounded a sound of breaking the air, "Huh!" The air shook slightly, and a figure had already appeared in front of everyone.
"Master, why don't you call me for such an interesting thing!"
