Chapter 44: Going to the Appointment
Tongtian Pavilion, where the commanding heights of Huajing City are located, is built on a giant that rises from the ground, and the giant holds up a circular stone seat, and the stone seat is 18,000 zhang above the ground. This pavilion was built 280,000 years ago, when more than 1,000 craftsmen participated in the construction, and it took several years to build, and the house-like stout column alone weighed millions of catties.
After Han Li and his entourage showed their name tags and identity jade plaques to the guards, under the leadership of the guards, they ascended to the circular platform through a teleportation formation somewhere at the foot of the giant stone pillar.
When the three of them stepped on the Babel Pavilion, as far as the eye could see, there were pavilions and pavilions. Han Li looked around at the surrounding scene, and not far in front of him were several loft-like buildings scattered unevenly, surrounded by a number of towering giant trees. Numerous branches grew on the trunk of the huge tree, and countless boat-shaped green leaves hung on the branches. The canopy of these giant trees is large enough to cover a small half-platform.
Overlooking the Crystal City, you can see tiny buildings like needles through the misty clouds. The buildings on top of this pavilion are all made of emerald green jade, which is very compatible with those emerald green giant trees. Walking on the cloud-shrouded, green Tongtian Pavilion, a trance gave birth to a strange feeling of being in the Nine Heavens Wonderland.
The guard led Han Li and the three of them through the giant trees, passing through several attics, and the depth and tranquility of this place made everyone's already tense minds relax slightly. Even though Han Li didn't intend to investigate, he could still faintly detect dozens of divine thoughts sweeping past him along the way. This place where the psychic immortal monarch lives for a long time must be heavily guarded.
Not long after, the four of them stopped in front of a towering attic, only to see a golden plaque engraved with the word "Tongtian" hanging on the main entrance of the attic.
"Three seniors, juniors can only take you here, after entering the main pavilion of this Tongtian Pavilion, there will be someone else to receive you. If the seniors have any needs, even if they mention it, the juniors will leave first. The guard who led the way saluted the three of them and left.
After the guard left, the three of them stopped for a moment, glanced at each other, and then walked into the main pavilion of the Tsutenkaku.
Sure enough, as the guards said, as soon as Han Li and the others entered, a beautiful woman immediately greeted them with a slight move. The woman seemed to know the reason for the three of them, and after bowing gracefully, she led Han Li and the others inward.
On the sixth floor of the main pavilion of Tongtian Pavilion, Han Li and his party were sitting side by side on carved wooden chairs, and on the agarwood table on the left side of the three of them, each placed a spiritual tea that exuded an elegant and light fragrance, a plate of spiritual fruits, and a plate of exquisite dim sum. Behind the three of them, on one side, stood a handsome maid dressed in purple grosgrain.
The interior of the sixth floor of the main pavilion is extremely spacious, and there is a three-foot-high stone platform in the center, which is in a circular structure, almost spanning the entire central hall, and is nearly 100 zhang long. On the east and west sides of the high platform, near the interior of the attic, there are three pairs and two pairs of tables and chairs, respectively. Han Li and the others occupied the seat on the east side. On the north side of the high north, there are more than ten grinding disc thickness columns neatly arranged, and the surface of the column is painted with dragons and phoenixes, and the carved texture is exquisite and elegant. These pillars are about ten zhang high, and the top is backed by a deed-shaped stone platform. On the stone platform, there is a real dragon chair made of gold and jade, which is the same size as two ordinary seats, and it is thought that it should be the royal throne of the psychic immortal monarch.
After about a meal, there was the sound of rustling footsteps from the entrance, and Han Li and the others immediately put on a laughing look and turned their heads to look at the entrance.
The first to appear was a young man with a square bun and a bronze face. The man was dressed in a slender gray robe, his eyebrows were like sharp swords, his nose was like a gall, and his thin face was outlined with sharp and angular outlines. It seems to be a young face, but it exudes a sense of composure and sophistication.
Just as Han Li and the others looked at the man, the latter's gaze happened to drift towards him. After his eagle-like sharp eyes swept over Han Li, his gaze deliberately stayed on Gao Sheng, who was sitting in the middle of the three of them. After Gao Sheng noticed this hostile gaze, he still had that indifferent look, and his gentle eyes did not avoid the cold glow full of malice. After a few breaths, the corners of the man's mouth gradually hooked up a hint of sarcasm, and he looked away and walked straight to the seat on the west side to take a seat.
Immediately behind the white-robed man was a middle-aged man in a brocade robe with a dark complexion. The man in the brocade robe has an ordinary face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a pair of deep eyes embedded under a pair of bulging eyebrow arches.
The last one to walk in was the beautiful woman in the red shirt who had greeted Han Li and the others earlier. Seeing that both sides were seated, the woman in the red shirt swayed her waist and walked to the central platform with light steps, and after giving a blessing to each of the two parties seated, she opened her mouth slightly and said with a smile. "Seniors, please wait here for a while, my master will arrive later. ”
After the woman in the red shirt left, there were only five people left in the main hall who had gone to the appointment and the two maids standing on the east and west sides, and there was no one else. The two people sitting opposite each other have been silent since they took their seats, but their eyes flickered to look at each other. The white-robed man and Gao Sheng naturally focused their eyes on each other, and since the brocade-robed man sat down, he stared at Han Li with a look that was sure of you. That look as if he had seen a prey made Han Li's heart feel a chill in his heart, with his current powerful divine intent, the other party was actually able to give him a hint of threat. He couldn't help but think of Gao Sheng's reminder a few hours ago, and looked away from the middle-aged man, not knowing what he was planning.
After such an awkward atmosphere lasted for a moment, a deep man's voice came from all directions. "Let you fellow Daoists wait for a long time. ”
When the people heard this, they looked left and right to find the owner of the voice. After searching to no avail, a sense of shock rose in their hearts.
Just as they were wondering, a golden figure appeared on the deed-shaped stone platform, looking down at the people in the hall with their hands behind their backs.
After Han Li and the others noticed the golden figure, they hurriedly looked up and saw a middle-aged man wearing a purple and gold crown standing on it. The man's face is covered with horizontal meat, and he has a pair of rough facial features, so he has a momentum that is not angry and self-imposing. Above the fierce face, a pair of black eyes were surprisingly calm, as if they could still be as stable as Mount Tai even if the landslide cracked in front of them. The man was dressed in a suit of golden armor, revealing a pair of dark and powerful arms.
This middle-aged man is naturally a psychic immortal, this person does not see the slightest mana fluctuation in his body, if it weren't for the fact that he had already known that he was a terrifying Daluo Realm monk, and this elusive appearance under everyone's noses, it is expected that everyone would mistakenly think that the person in front of him is only a mortal.
