Chapter 213, Stone Tower
At the entrance of the Autumn Rain Valley, there is a thick half-moon shaped city wall, which connects the right mountain wall from the left wall, with a stone gate in the middle, and behind the city wall are two towering peaks, which are very close to each other, leaving only a gap more than one person wide in the middle.
At this time, the villager pushing the black iron ore was being checked by the guards of the Tianlong Sect in front of the stone gate, and a guard reached out and picked up a piece of black iron ore in the trolley, checked the weight first, and then looked at the sun, checked that there was no problem and waved the villager into the stone gate.
Jiang Liu was behind a strangely shaped mountain stone not far from the city wall at the moment, quietly watching all this, there were guards from the Tianlong Sect above and below the city wall, and the stone gate was too narrow, it was not easy for Jiang Liu to blend in.
The two guards of the Heavenly Dragon Sect were talking, and Jiang Liu was listening attentively.
One person said: "Hey, senior brother, isn't Uncle Li Hao here today, wasn't he here to guard the door two days ago?"
Another said: "Haha, junior brother, you don't understand, what kind of person is Uncle Li Hao, how can he keep doing this kind of door-guarding thing, and we disciples can't do it." ”
"That's what I said, if the master didn't come here, how could Uncle Li Hao come here to guard the door, he probably just made a show when he came to guard the door, and he also likes to show himself in front of the master just like us, haha!"
"That's not what I said, Uncle Li Hao is very serious about what he does, and he is also meticulous when guarding the door, if it wasn't for the master who came to summon him in, he would have been guarding here. ”
"You said Master, Xu Ruiheng, is he already here?"
"Hahaha, that's right, he entered the valley yesterday, I was here at the time, I was fortunate to see his old man's demeanor, his old man's demeanor really made me admire, anyway, he nodded to me, but I was excited. ”
"Wow, I really envy you, if I can see his old man, even if I look at it from afar, I will have no regrets in this life. ”
"It's a pity that you don't have much chance, his old man has an important matter to enter the valley, and after doing this, he will leave. ”
"Hey, it's a pity, it's a pity, I don't know what major things are going on in the Autumn Rain Valley, the teacher has been moving for so many days, and now even the master has come over, senior brother, do you know what is going on there?"
"To be honest, I don't know, I just know that I'm building a huge stone tower, and I don't know anything else. ”
"Stone Tower?"
"That's right, this is something I occasionally heard Master Zhou Dali say. ”
The man who spoke first stood in place and looked into the valley, and after a while, he said, "I don't know when I will have the opportunity to meet my ancestor." ”
After saying this, he left in a daze.
......
Jiang Liu was also thinking about the stone tower that the man said at this time, and she wondered in her heart, what stone tower can ask for so much black iron ore, isn't it enough to repair the stone tower generally, and why use this black iron ore?
She's ready to sneak in anyway.
She scratched some dirt on the ground and rubbed it on her face, and she blackened it, and she made her clothes in tatters, and she scratched the skin that was exposed in the tatters, and in a way she made herself very embarrassed, just like the villagers.
After doing this, while the guard was not paying attention, he unfolded his body, and in a flash, he grabbed a villager and knocked him unconscious, and then in another flash, before the trolley fell to the ground, the man had come to the trolley and grabbed the handlebars of the trolley.
She was very fast, and after doing all this, neither the villagers nor the guards of the Heavenly Dragon Sect noticed it.
She kept her head down and mingled among the villagers.
When she arrived in front of the stone gate to be inspected by the guard, she only felt her heart pounding, but fortunately, if Li Hao was not here, no one from the Tianlong Sect knew her, and the guard just picked up the black iron ore in the cart and looked at it, and then let Jiang Liu in.
She followed the villagers to push the cart into the gap between the two mountains, the gap was so narrow and long that the villagers did not dare to talk, and the team moved forward quietly.
Jiang Liu occasionally looked up at the sky, and from the gap, the sky was still rolling dark clouds, the dark clouds here were thicker than those outside, and lightning fell from time to time in the dark clouds.
Jiang Liu only felt a strange pressure rise in his heart.
The villagers walked slower and slower the way in, and each one had a look of fear in their eyes, and no matter how much the guards whipped them, they would not speed up.
Jiang Liu walked in this gap for nearly an hour.
Suddenly, there was a huge circular square in front of him, this square was surrounded by mountains on all sides, the area was huge, and the ground of the square was pounced on by black iron ore, and it was pitch black.
In the center of the square, a huge black tower rises to the sky, and the stone tower seems to be built of black iron ore, inserted into the dark clouds in the sky, and the stone tower body is carved with a huge golden figure.
The figure was peculiarly long, the upper body was very broad, especially the shoulders, which were several times wider than a normal person, and the lower limbs were short, and the whole person was in the shape of an inverted triangle.
Strangely, his head is also inverted triangular shape, his chin is wide and large, his forehead is pointed and thin, his eyes are small, his nose is large, and his nostrils are facing the sky.
His mouth was like two thick caterpillars, horrifying and disgusting.
The figure is surrounded by strange ornaments, which look quite ancient, and there seems to be some kind of power flowing between them.
Jiang Liu felt very bored when he saw this portrait, and felt that this portrait was very evil.
There seemed to be an invisible force rippling around the top of the stone tower, and a strange voice rose in Jiang Liu's heart, and that voice seemed to be some kind of chanting.
The dark clouds surrounding the top of the stone tower were even thicker, like a pitch-black ink, and lightning was more frequent between the inks.
Jiang Liu looked up at the top of the tower, only to feel very depressed in her heart, and she found that the villagers who came in with her were trembling and their faces were all pale.
Around the base of the giant tower are eight small stone towers, each small stone tower has a round spirit stone on the top, the spirit stone at this time emits a blue light.
There seemed to be a force on the round spirit stone that echoed with the top of the giant tower, this power was invisible, but Jiang Liu could clearly feel that they were rapidly flowing towards the top of the tower.
Jiang Liu looked at the style of those small towers, and was shocked in his heart, what kind of formation should this be, the giant tower should be the eye of the formation, and these small towers should be the formation hub.
What is the Dragon Sect doing here to build such a big formation, who is that statue, and why is it engraved on this stone tower, Jiang Liu's heart is full of doubts, and he only feels that this should not be a good thing.
The villagers pushing the carts all walked towards the back of the tower.
Jiang Liu looked at the stone tower in a daze, only to feel a pain in his back, and suddenly received a whip on his body, and said: "Untouchables, what do you see! Didn't I tell you that you can't be blind when you enter here? You untouchables still don't understand the rules so much, don't you want to die!"
He said: "I haven't understood the rules for so many days, if it weren't for the sake of finishing it tonight, I would have thrown you away to feed the wolf beast!"
He said: "These untouchables are really angry, they don't make people worry at all, one by one, like they have seen a ghost, hum!"
Jiang Liu looked at the man, this man was full of beards, wasn't it the one named Muzi? She hurriedly lowered her head and hurriedly pushed the cart forward, her heart fluttering, for fear of being discovered by him.
The ground of the circular square is also carved with fine lines, densely packed. Jiang Liu followed the flow of people to the giant tower, and when he was at the bottom of the giant tower, he bypassed the four small stone towers and came to the back of the giant tower.
There was a small stone tower at the back, which had not yet been built, and there was a circle of wooden shelves, and the villagers stopped in front of them.
They took the black iron ore from the cart and handed it to the man standing on the shelf, who then stacked it on the wall.
It looked like it wouldn't be long before this tower was built, and Jiang Liu knew that as long as this tower was built, the Heavenly Dragon Sect should be able to achieve their goal.
Jiang Liuxun thought of a way to do some sabotage, and at this moment, a voice startled him, it was Li Hao's voice.
I only heard Li Hao say: "Master, this tower can be built tonight, how will Master arrange it then?"
Jiang Liu looked over and saw three people standing at the bottom of the tower.
One of them was Li Hao, Jiang Liu's eyes were red when she saw her, but now she didn't dare to act rashly, after all, she was in someone else's territory.
One person was wearing a green robe with a little goatee on his chin, and this person was Zhou Dali.
One of them had his hair combed brightly, and he was a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, with a cleanly shaved face and hands behind his back, looking quite majestic.
Zhou Dali and Li Hao have a lot of respect for this person, presumably this person is Xu Ruiheng.
Jiang Liu eavesdropped on the conversation between the three of them while handing the black iron ore in the cart to the villagers on the shelf.
I only heard Xu Ruiheng say: "Tonight's matter is very important, as soon as this tower is completed, the formation will also be completed, but urging the formation requires two spiritual powers, and then Li Hao and I will be responsible for inputting spiritual power, Zhou Dali, you and your other disciples will be responsible for giving us the Dharma protection." ”
Zhou Dali muttered: "Master, such an important matter, why did you give Li Hao to do it, I think let Li Hao give us the Dharma protector, and I will help Master input spiritual power." ”
Li Hao said: "Zhou Dali, what do you mean, do you think your cultivation is higher than mine?"
Zhou Dali said: "I and you are only half a catty, we have not compared who is higher and who is lower, who knows!"
Li Hao snorted and said, "Otherwise, let's compare in front of the master?"
Zhou Dali said: "Compare and compare, who is afraid of whom!"
He was ready to make a move. Then Xu Ruiheng roared and said, "What are you arguing about! It's been arguing all day long, when is it now, and is it also the time when you can quarrel?"
He said: "I want to beat you and wait for this matter to be finished, and then you will decide life and death, and Master will be the referee for you!"
The two didn't dare to speak, and after a while, Zhou Dali said, "Master, why didn't you bring your puppet Xiao Wu over, so that I can't help Master input spiritual power?"
Xu Ruiheng said: "Xiao Wu, I left him in the sect to cultivate, it is enough for me to urge Li Hao to urge the formation, you just take care of your affairs." ”
Zhou Dali said: "Yes, Master, Master, I still don't know what this formation is used for, can you tell us about it now?"
