Chapter 53: The Tower of a Thousand Machines (2)
Walking all the way to the west, through a forest, I found a cave to rest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
I leaned on the cliff on the side, and I was a little uneasy to see Chen Bieli picking up this firewood skillfully.
When I thought of the picture I saw outside the Thousand Machine Tower, my heart tightened inexplicably. Although Chen said that he might have seen the hallucinations of Lethe, he couldn't feel at ease no matter how he thought about it.
Chen Beili said that the Thousand Machine Tower is a complex and exotic world, where the day and night are not only different from the outside, but also the days are short and the nights are long. Especially at night, it can be much more dangerous.
I asked, "Isn't there a demon in the night?" β
Chen Beili smiled, a little meaningful: "Almost~"
I frowned, yes or no, no, this way of speaking is really anxious.
But although I was puzzled, I didn't have the strength to think about anything else. When dawn comes, I must go back to Lethe!
And before that, I thought I had to take a good rest. The body is still more honest than the mind, and I am a little tired~
At the other end, the fire was sizzling.
Chen Bieli glanced at Ah Leng, who had closed his eyes, and gently threw the last firewood in his hand into the flames. Suddenly, he hooked his lips, and it was extremely evil.
This smile appeared on the face of a weak scholar, and it seemed a little inappropriate. But it was only a moment, and the next moment Chen parted and seemed to have entered a shallow sleep.
"Ah Leng ~ Ah Leng ~ " I heard someone calling me, and I opened my eyes tiredly. I only felt that my eyelids were sour, and my head was a little groggy.
In front of his eyes, it was Chen Bieli's slightly fair and thin face.
And also...
I suddenly saw something and opened my eyes suddenly.
This is not a cave???
When I looked around, I saw myself in a splendid palace. This palace is tens of thousands of zhang high, and countless pillars of heaven are in the palace. The golden light in the hall is dazzling, magnificent, and up to the clouds. I have never seen such a magnificent palace, and I can't help but gasp!
"Where is this?" I was puzzled and asked Chen Bieli on the side.
Chen Bieli held a Qiankun gossip instrument and frowned. When I saw that he was also scratching his ears and cheeks, I knew that he was also confused, but he was really confused with me.
And at this moment, there was a sudden sound in the distance of the palace. When we looked over, we saw that the huge door suddenly opened from the bottom up. Chen and I glanced at each other, and hurriedly ran towards the giant gate.
"I guess it's a ghost from an exotic time and space~ Wait a minute, be careful! Don't leave me! Chen Beili reminded me as he ran.
As we ran through the gate, we stepped into a misty place. The surrounding mountains are majestic, as if you are on a high mountain. Because, not far away, there is a village bridge that extends all the way to the distance.
When I saw this scene, I only felt that it was a mountain not a mountain, like a bridge not like a bridge, but like a fairyland of clouds depicted by the folk.
In the clouds and mist, there are white cranes flying by, making a long chirp~
"This isβ" Chen Beili gasped. I thought he was startled by the sight and wanted to pay more attention to it, but the next moment he jumped up like a child and jumped around me.
When I was surprised, he suddenly grabbed my hand and said to me, "Ah Leng, Ah Leng, look over there......"
Chen Bieli dragged me with one hand, pointed to the other end of the mountain with the other, and said: "It is recorded in the ancient cloud records that there is a long bridge immortal mountain in the world, surrounded by canals, and accompanied by white cranes, which is really a place of bliss for the immortals. Those who fall invisible, those who have an epiphany to the west, and those who have sinned greatly, their bodies can be hidden in the ten thousand caves of the long bridge. The body endures, and the soul returns to be immortal. It's called, the Immortal Mansion! β
"What do you mean... Is this a mound? "That's what I mean if I understand it, if there's no problem.
"Uh~" Chen Beili choked, he didn't expect Ah Leng's understanding to be so sharp. He stepped forward, touched one end of the bridge, and said, "If I guess correctly, the treasure I'm looking for is on the opposite side of the bridge~"
"Hehe~" I smiled: "Then your luck is so good!" Just get a good night's sleep! β
I was thinking about this strange thing, but I was also curious. I looked far away at the end of the bridge, but I could only see some faint outlines, but I couldn't get a look.
That being said, if this is the place where the immortals hide their bodies after death, then how many immortals are there, and what are the remains of the immortals left here?
With this curiosity, Chen and I parted onto the bridge, and along the rickety bridge, stood in the bottomless mid-air, staggering and moving forward.
"Slow down~" When I said to Chen Bieli, the clothes on my body were actually soaked.
I think I was scared, but I was used to holding back. When Chen Beili saw me tugging at the tail of his clothes, he laughed at me for being cowardly and said, "Ah Leng, I really can't see that you are still so weak and lovely!" β
I shivered and glared at him fiercely: "How could I not be a weak woman anymore? β
Chen Beili laughed: "Your words and deeds have always been not a weak woman, right?" Haha~ If you're not a weak woman, you're not a weak woman, look at you in a hurry! Anyway, the heroines in the female middle school are also very popular! β
I was speechless, and my eyes almost ripped him out over and over again.
Even so, Chen Beili slowed down and walked cautiously with me.
This bridge looks not far away, but in fact, when you walk down, you are gone, and the head is gone. When I was tired of walking, I also leaned on the bridge railing and looked at the scenery in the fog.
Chen Bieli complained: "Ah Leng of the heroine of the female middle school and I, a weak scholar, are really half a catty and eight taels, a perfect match~"
I shook my hand and wanted to slap him to death.
But who knows, a hurricane blew, my body was unstable, and after a few swings on the bridge, I fell under the bridge weightlessly. Chen Bieli stabilized his body and grabbed my hand that had fallen.
My body was suspended in mid-air, and I just felt dizzy. When I woke up a little, I found that I was in a terrible condition. My heart was startled, and I grabbed Chen Bieli's hand holding me.
"Hold on!" Chen Bieli was lying on the bridge railing with half of his body, the green tendons on his forehead burst out at some point, and he gritted his teeth and shouted at me with a blue face.
At the other end, the hurricane suddenly dispersed, and a Kunpeng flew out of it. Kunpeng was several feet long, with claws like rocks, and was fanning his wings, and the fierce gods attacked the two of them.
"Ah~" Kunpeng's interference distracted Chen Beili, and his subordinates were relieved again. I just felt like my body was sinking, as if my life was hanging by a thread. It seems that the next moment, you will fall into this abyss. I was in a hurry and hurriedly screamed.
Although I was in a hurry, fortunately, I was still sober. I gritted my teeth, viciously glanced at the Kunpeng hovering above our heads and teasing us, and slowly pulled out a silver needle about half a foot long from my body.
