Chapter 236: Three Consecutive Cities
A few pieces of natural dog's head gold allowed Wu Tie to gain the right to temporarily live in Sanlian City for a month.
Several soldiers gave Wu Tie a palm-sized iron card, and after Wu Tie entered a wisp of mana into it according to their instructions, a ray of light erupted from the surface of the iron card and swept across his face.
Soon, the iron plate squirmed, and on one side of it appeared Wu Tie's current appearance, and on the other side, a few lines of small letters appeared, marking the period for which Wu Tie could stay in Sanlian City for one month.
Every day that passes, the number on the iron plate will decrease by one day, and once the number is cleared, the iron card will automatically send a warning to the officials of the Triple City, and Wu Tie will be captured by the officials and severely punished.
'Bang', the iron card flew up, and a great suction force came out of it, sticking to the back of Wu Tie's hand.
Wu Tie shook his hand, this iron plate is made of special material, light and fluttering, but it is not in the way. It's just that with this iron plate on the back of his hand, the natives of Sanlian City can recognize his identity as an outsider at a glance.
Nodding to a few soldiers, Wu Tie strode to the edge of the cliff and jumped down.
The wind was blowing fiercely under his feet, and Wu Tie walked towards the center of the Sanlian City with the strong wind...... This beautiful fairyland-like grotto world is only the outer area of Sanlian City, and the real Sanlian City is still more than a thousand miles away from here.
The air was filled with the sweet fragrance of melons and fruits, the wind blew, and in the neat fields, the green waves rolled, and the atmosphere of wealth and serenity made Wu Tie feel deeply intoxicated.
Looking around, Wu Tie saw many rare crops.
For example, on a hill that stretched for dozens of miles, Wu Tie saw a large area of old grapevines. The purple-black grapes are the size of thumbs, and the grapes are hanging from the vines, and a girl dressed in white is picking ripe fruits.
Wu Tie couldn't help but swallow and spat at the mouth.
In the knowledge passed down by Lao Tie, there is all kinds of information about fruits and vegetables.
But grapes are a fruit...... Even if it is extremely extravagant, enjoying the Wa Valley enshrined in many large domains around it, Wu Tie has not been able to taste it.
Triple Castle ...... It's much more extravagant than Wagu.
Wu Tie thought about what the Demon Chapter King had described before, what his life was like when he was a teenager.
Wu Tie shook his head and smiled, he finally understood why the Great Mauryan Dynasty was so depraved.
Powerful, rich, without the slightest external threat in the surrounding area, and having lost the motivation and ability to continue to expand externally, what else could the Great Mauryan Empire do except wanton extravagance?
A shadow loomed over Wu Tie.
He looked up, and a white cloud floated leisurely over his head, and several huge colorful birds went in and out of the white cloud, chasing and playing to their heart's content.
Wu Tie couldn't help but rise a lot, he stepped on the wind and came to the air thousands of meters above the ground, wanting to get as close as possible to these beautiful and leisurely creatures, but he was afraid that he would frighten them, so he carefully kept his distance.
After living in the deep and dark, densely covered with poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, and full of countless dangers, he has been accustomed to the dark, damp, depressing, and dull atmosphere.
Wu Tie was suddenly able to understand why Sanlian City set such a high entrance fee, and why he had to pay half a gold coin for every day he stayed.
Here, it can be called a paradise.
Here, it is really a fairyland.
Wu Tie was staring blankly at the big birds, and he suddenly heard a dull sound of hooves in the distance.
He looked down at a village in front of him on the left, and dozens of miles away, a cavalry was galloping wildly, running around the village at a rapid pace.
The cavalrymen were brightly armoured, and each knight had a small flagpole three meters long with brightly colored triangular flags hanging from it.
Their mounts are not the lizards, spiders, pythons and the like that Wu Tie is familiar with, but ...... Steed.
White, the mane beats happily like flowing water, and the whole body hair is oily and shiny like satin, and the water is a silver-white horse.
This beautiful, majestic creature.
Wu Tie knew the existence of the horse in the knowledge inherited by Lao Tie.
But it was the first time in his life that he had seen a living, real horse.
This beautiful creature is not suitable for survival in caves and tunnels, their strength is not as good as those huge lizards, and their combat effectiveness is even worse than those giant poisonous spiders, and their ability to survive in the face of various dangers in the cave world is really worrying.
In particular, they have extremely high requirements for temperature and feed, and it costs a lot to raise them.
And in the complex terrain of the tunnels, they are not as mobile as the large lizards and giant spiders, and many of the 90-degree cliffs are impossible for these horses to climb.
Wu Tie has also traveled a lot of places in the past few years, and it is the first time he has seen a horse.
Moreover, it was such a clear silver-white horse, and there were more than three hundred horses carrying one after another with swaggering knights galloping around the village, and many knights kept making long whistles.
In a small village of about 500 households, a stream of villagers came out, and under the greeting of several old people, they gathered in the square in the middle of the village.
After about half an hour, all the villagers had gathered, and the cavalry outside the village rode into the village in a neat line, waving pennants.
When they arrived at the square in the village, the cavalry parted from the left and right, and more than two dozen young men in gorgeous clothes and smiles jumped off their horses and laughed at each other and came to the villagers.
Wu Tie flew closer to the village, the wind under his feet subsided a lot, he slowly fell from the sky, and landed behind the eaves of a small building in the village without alarming anyone, and poked out half of his head to watch the movement in the square.
A young man with reddish hair casually pushed away the middle-aged man in front of him, revealing a girl who looked fifteen or sixteen years old behind the man.
The girl was born very delicate, full of youthful atmosphere, she was wearing a coarse cloth long skirt, with the unique simple and pure taste of a country girl.
A group of young people let out a howl like a wolf, and a few people simply walked up, stretched out their hands and pinched and scratched the girl's body, and some even broke the girl's mouth and carefully examined the neat teeth in her mouth.
Just like a cattle dealer, you pick your favorite animals in the market.
"This girl is good, Shui Ling. ”
"Haha, one is not enough, find a few more, find a few more. ”
"This, I saw it, haha, there's another good one here. ”
Another young man laughed, casually pushed away a few villagers in front of him, grabbed a girl who looked more childish, and pulled her out of the crowd with all his might, so a few more young people walked up and criticized the girl.
With humble smiles on their faces, the villagers watched silently as the group of young people rummaged through the crowd and picked out more than thirty beautiful girls.
"Okay, that's enough. The red-haired young man smiled and picked up a young girl, put it on his shoulder, and carried it away like a ball of straw: "Borrow these chicks to play for a few days, and after a few days, if they don't die, they will come back." ”
The villagers smiled humbly and bowed deeply to these young people.
The young men carried one or two maidens on their shoulders and came to their mounts, put them on their horses at will, turned over on their horses, and with a soft shout, urged the horses to gallop away from the village.
In this process, the girls did not resist and struggle in the slightest, and there were no cries and tears.
The villagers also acted as if nothing had happened, and when the cavalry left, several old people greeted them a few times, and the villagers scattered in all directions, carrying water and continuing to carry water, watering vegetables and continuing to work with housework......
The children of the village continued to run and chase around the village, giggling and playing.
Everything is so calm, as calm as ...... It's as if the whole village is a puppet in human form, without any emotion.
Both men and women, they are so healthy, with a rosy glow on their faces that only well-fed and warm-clothed people have, they are busy, hard-working, and very hard-working......
'Alive'.
They are 'alive'.
This was the only thing Wu Tie felt about them.
But also, just 'alive'!
Wu Tie turned his head, and he saw the group of young men galloping wildly, and in a short time they came to a small hillside only five or six miles away from the village.
There was a green meadow, and the young men laughed and carried the girls off their mounts, threw them directly on the grass, tore their clothes and threw themselves on them.
The cavalry laughed loudly, took out their tents and various tools, and began to set up a small camp.
The cavalry also took out firewood and cured meat, built bonfires, and set up barbecue racks.
On the green grass, a body with white flowers was rolling, low gasps and painful moans mingled, and many cavalrymen were laughing loudly, watching the young man's performance unscrupulously.
Wu Tie stood on the roof in a daze, he was stunned for a long time, and then looked at the villagers who seemed to have nothing happened, and were busy inside and out, he suddenly shivered.
The wind was raging under his feet, and Wu Tie harnessed the wind and continued to fly towards the center of the Sanlian City.
He was no longer in the mood to see the beautiful birds, nor was he in the mood to enjoy the scenery around him.
The Sanlian City is beautiful, like a legendary fairyland, but Wu Tie always feels sluggish and a little out of breath.
He passed by one small village after another, and passed through one small town after another.
Some things that make Wu Tie unreasonable are happening anytime and anywhere.
Outside a small town, Wu Tie saw several gorgeously dressed youths with escorts, taking a dozen sturdy men as prey. Strong men ran and fled in front, and they pursued them with bows and arrows in the back.
In a small village, all the old people and men sat quietly in the fields outside the village. All the young women in the village were all stripped clean, and a dozen young men in fancy clothes were laughing and chasing around the village.
In a clear river, nearly a thousand young men and women gathered, drinking blood-colored wine, wanton and chaotic among themselves. There is no specific object, there is no specific person, just grab a person of the opposite sex or the same sex, and they will roll in the river at will.
In a sea of flowers, in a large hall with no walls on all sides and only towering columns, dozens of well-dressed old men sat on high thrones, like a group of hungry ghosts reincarnated, enjoying delicious food and wine.
These old people exude powerful mana fluctuations throughout their bodies, and their cultivation is strong, so they are strong, and they constantly stuff a large amount of wine and countless delicacies into their mouths, eating and drinking all the time.
The maids and waiters who served them delicious food and wine were all young and beautiful, or handsome and upright, and there were often old people eating and drinking, and suddenly when the interest came, they grabbed a maid or waiter and pressed it on the table at will, and then enjoyed it casually.
......
Wu Tie traveled all the way, a short distance of more than a thousand miles, and all kinds of unbelievable things he saw made his mind chaotic.
He finally understood what the Demon Chapter King meant by that kind of extreme erosion.
He finally understood why Hua Guang left Sanlian City.
As Hua Guang said, these three cities are indeed a little dirty.
All the way forward, after crossing an undulating mountain range, where the two rivers intersect in front of you, a magnificent city suddenly appeared in front of Wu Tie.
The spacious, straight avenues crisscross the city, like a chessboard of neat urban planning, among the green trees, flowers, beautiful pavilions and pavilions are scattered, and the entire urban area ten miles long and eight miles wide is arranged too beautifully, so that Wu Tie has the illusion of 'false bonsai'.
Standing on the top of the hill and looking at the city dozens of miles away for a while, Wu Tie's gaze finally fell on a magnificent building directly north of the city.
The shape of the building is a standard pyramid, the whole body is brilliant, the height is up and down a kilometer, the length of the base is also about a kilometer, and there is a wide corridor in the shape of a zigzag on the outside, on which various pavilions are built, and a large number of flowers and plants are planted.
There, it was the former royal city of the Great Mauryan Dynasty, and it was also the place where King Mozhang was born and raised.
There, is the real triple city.
Sanlian City is a general term for three pyramid-shaped megastructures that overlap top and bottom.
The golden building that Wu Tie saw was only a small part of the tallest pyramid, and it was several times larger underground.
The other two pyramids, also encased in thick rock formations.
According to the Demon Chapter King, those two pyramids hide the greatest secret of the Sanlian City, and they are also the most important lifeblood of the Sanlian City.
It is said that in those two pyramids, countless treasures are buried, great power is hidden, and the essence of ancient civilization is preserved.
Those two pyramids are also the last retreat of the royal family of the Great Mauryan Dynasty.
It's just that when the Great Mauryan Empire was destroyed, the royal family at that time did not open the two pyramids, and did not use the magical treasures and huge power hidden in the two pyramids in the legend.
Perhaps, as the Demon Chapter King said, the Great Peacock Dynasty has long lost the way to enter the two pyramids.
Wu Tie exhaled heavily.
