Chapter 111: Stupa
"What do you know?"
Li Xun asked.
Xiaobao said: "The meaning of the existence of this dragon city should be to set off the majesty of the lord of this dragon city, right? It's just that this foil is a little too powerful. What a big stroke, all of which is actually hinting at people, hypnotizing people, making people willing to work for the lord of the dragon city, and enhancing the status and authority of the ruler. ”
Li Xun felt that there was some truth, but he didn't bother to think deeply, so he said, "Let's go, go in and have a look." ”
As soon as he took a step forward, Li Xun suddenly stopped again.
Captain Zhang was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
"The smell of the dead. Li Xun said again.
"Where are the dead people, and there are dead people?"
Captain Zhang was about to scold his mother, and he was a little flustered. Of course, he is not afraid of the dead, or even the corpse, but he is afraid of the highly poisonous corpse insects on the dead.
Li Xun pointed to a white and sacred pagoda in the southeast: "Over there." ”
In my heart, I suddenly realized that there must be something strange in the pagoda, because the faint fragrance I smelled at the gate of the dragon city came from the pagoda.
At first, Li Xun thought that the effect of that aroma was to confuse people and assist in hypnosis, but now it seems that it is not just like that.
And the smell of the dead, and the smell of the dead, coexist with the aroma, which comes from the stupa, which is a little strange.
Captain Zhang said, "Don't worry about the dead people for now, let's go to the palace first and see what's there." ”
Li Xun thought for a while and said, "The soldiers are divided into two ways, you go to the palace, and I go to the pagoda." ”
Captain Zhang was very puzzled why Li Xun insisted on going to the pagoda, but before he could ask questions, he heard Li Xun say again: "Now we don't have enough manpower, just you and me." It was necessary to divide the troops into two ways, because the serpent might come up at some point. ”
After that, Li Xun pushed Captain Zhang, then didn't say more, turned around and got into the fork in the road, and headed towards the pagoda in the southeast direction.
Captain Zhang was stunned on the spot: "Alas...... You. ”
Before he finished speaking, he saw that Li Xun was gone.
Captain Zhang then sighed helplessly, and walked towards the palace, towards the golden armor sitting on the dragon chair.
But he didn't dare to go ahead of the group of enchanted people, but only took a detour from the side of the path. He was afraid that if he walked in front of these people, there would be people inside who would go crazy and say that he did not kneel, that he was disrespectful.
Quietly, Captain Zhang secretly hid in a place where the kerosene lamp could not shine.
In the entire Dragon City, there are I don't know how many kerosene lamps, and it is by relying on these kerosene lamps that this city is illuminated. These kerosene lamps used to be the responsibility of the people of Xujiashan Village, but now, all the people of Xujiashan Village are dead, and it is estimated that the city will be extinguished in a short time, and it will be hidden in the darkness forever.
On the other side, after walking away, Xiao Bao, who knew Li Xun's habits, lowered his voice and asked, "What's the matter, Brother Xun?"
"Dead people. ”
"Except for the dead?"
Li Xun looked around vigilantly, and after seeing that there was no one, he lowered his voice and said with some excitement: "A legendary smell, I finally remembered what the smell came from." ”
"What smell?"
"I'm not sure, I'll know when I get there. ”
“……”
This dragon city is quite big, and it just feels majestic and solemn outside.
When you enter the inside, you will know that this dragon city is vast and boundless, and it is also luxurious.
All the ground that can be stepped on by feet is paved with white marble, which is worth a lot of money.
Even in contemporary times, the white marble used by the rich is only used to make screens, and the value of that screen is very great, which is very remarkable.
But here, white marble is used to pave the ground, and I don't know which emperor of the Great Liao Empire is the handiwork.
Moreover, Li Xun gradually discovered some strange phenomena.
The shops and storefronts along the street here are all in accordance with the customs of the Han people, and the signboards are hung on the doors.
It stands to reason that every signboard in this city should be in Khitan language. But in fact, every signboard here, every place, is in three languages: Khitan, Chinese, and Mongolian.
Therefore, according to this speculation, this dragon city should indeed be built by the Khitans, but at the beginning of the design, it seemed to be intended for the people of the three ethnic groups to live in.
There is also a strange thing about this entire Dragon City, that is, there is no place to garrison troops at all. It's just that there is a trace of garrison on the castle tower at the gate, but apart from the castle tower, there are no more military-related buildings.
After about a few minutes, Li Xun and Xiaobao came to the bottom of the pagoda.
Under the stupa is a very wide flat land, and the pagoda stands between a large flat land, which looks a little empty.
And in this emptiness, Li Xun shrugged his nose and smelled the smell of a big snake.
I felt a little strange in my heart, I didn't smell the breath of the big snake all the way, why did I smell it at this pagoda?
Then the idea came that only if the serpent stayed here for a long time, it would be possible to retain its scent for a long time.
If you guess correctly, the big snake must have entered Dragon City often, it doesn't go anywhere, but it likes to entrench here.
According to normal people's thinking, the serpent has spirituality, and I am afraid that in front of this pagoda, he hopes to be tempered.
But Li Xun didn't think so, the big snake was probably attracted by that breath. It didn't understand what the breath meant, it was simply attracted, so it was entrenched.
Xiao Bao looked at the entrance of the pagoda and muttered a little: "I think this pagoda is a bit evil." ”
Li Xun smiled: "If it's not evil, it won't attract me." ”
"Why?"
"You forgot a law, there must be a demon when things go wrong, the dragon python belongs to the category of demons, its nest is here, and there is a law since ancient times, that is, where monsters are infested, there must be heavy treasures. ”
"Heavy ......"
"Shh
Li Xun hurriedly made a silence: "Be quiet, if that guy with bright ears is invited, it will be another trouble." ”
Xiaobao nodded: "Then let's go in and have a look." ”
"Let's go. ”
Li Xun cautiously walked towards the entrance of the pagoda.
This white tower is more than 30 meters high, very thick, and has a diameter of about 10 meters. From a distance, it is simply an enlarged version of a circular bunker.
It can't be said that this tower has a strange shape, but it can only be said that the geographical environment here can only accommodate such a tall tower. The height of the cave is limited, and it is not possible to build a truly tall stupa.
The entrance to the tower was semi-circular, and the inside was dark, and only the dim light of a kerosene lamp could be faintly seen.
But I can't see exactly what is inside.
The smell of corpses came from it, the stench was strong and strong, and Xiaobao also smelled it. It was a little frightened, so it shrank into Li Xun's trouser pocket.
Standing at the door and hesitating, Li Xun resolutely stepped in.
As soon as I entered, I felt a dark and damp aura soaked through my body, straight into the bone marrow, and muttered: "What a gloomy place, it stands to reason that the stupa should not appear ......"
"Ahh
Walking forward, the next second, Rao is Li Xun's guts, and he couldn't help but exclaim, his hair stood on the spot, and he hurriedly retreated, and the cold sweat was already soaking his body.
Xiao Bao, who was shrunk in his trouser pocket and only showed his eyes, was even more frightened and flew out, turned around and flew out, even Li Xun was thrown down. (To be continued.) )
