Volume 12 Return to the Wild Goose into Hu Tian Chapter 108 Dongtian
Su Xiaochen thought to himself: The information obtained from Uncle You's eyeliner planted many years ago is almost the same as what the Bihai caravan described, only saying that the city is underground, and there is no mention of the stone staircase platform that rises and falls, it seems that they only saw the fur of the upper city, and did not go deep into the interior of Shakoye at all. But since Hegui said that there were secrets of the Imulans in the middle and lower classes, why did he rest assured that he would take a foreigner like himself to the deepest palace? Aren't they afraid that my secrets will be revealed in the future?
After thinking about it, the situation in front of him changed, and another layer of the city appeared in front of him. Compared with the previous floor, there are fewer small shops for trading on this floor, more tall buildings, and several pools between them.
"It's also a place to do business in the upper city, but it's all about fresh fish, fresh meat, beans and wheat."
"Fresh fish is still produced in this desert land?" Su Xiaochen felt more and more incredible.
"Childe looks in the distance, can you see a fish pond? It's not big, but there are a lot of fish. This is the fish pond in the upper city, and if you go to the lower city, you will see more fish. That's the fish fry that we have come all the way from the blue sea, there are forty or fifty kinds of fry. ”
"You Imurans are really amazing, could it be that there are still fish in the blue sea here?"
He Gui smiled: "There are no catfish. The second master ordered that it was not allowed to raise catfish. ”
Su Xiaochen didn't bother to guess the reason, in short, this Wen and Guiman were full of mysteries, and it didn't matter if there was one more.
In this way, layer after layer of underground, Su Xiaochen watched the city scene in front of him change little by little, the buildings became taller and taller, and there were fewer and fewer people on the street.
"Now that summer is approaching, we Imurans are all out of the city to find nomadic herders in places with abundant grass and beautiful waters, so there are few people in the city. In autumn, when the grass turns yellow, many people return to the city to spend the winter, every year. Hegui patiently explained.
Suddenly, the railing disappeared, and four walls appeared around the stone staircase. When Su Xiaochen was wondering, a guardrail appeared in front of him again, and this time, Su Xiaochen obviously felt a warm breeze blowing in his face.
Looking at the past, it is another world.
I saw that the building had changed from the previous stone building to a brick house, not only the layout was scattered, but also mixed with some pavilions and pavilions in the style of Bihai and Cangwu, if it weren't for sitting on this stone staircase, Su Xiaochen really had a feeling of looking down from the city tower of Liufangmen.
"This is Midtown, and most of the leaders of the three major clans live here."
"How can there be such light in such a deep place?" Su Xiaochen said curiously.
"Childe can take a closer look, can you see that there are many stone pillars one person high all over the city?" Hegui pointed into the distance.
Su Xiaochen looked intently, and sure enough, there were many white stone pillars standing on the side of the road, almost every few steps, each of which was as thick as a willow tree, and there was a round stone ball at the top of the pillar.
"The stone ball embedded in the stone pillar is called Yinghua stone, which only needs to be basked in the sun for a day, and it can always shine when it is taken to the ground, and it can be bright for ten days and half a month. When the city was built, the blade clan picked it
Many Yinghua stones, all carved into balls, are placed in various places in the middle of the road, so that they can be as bright as day. ”
"But I've heard that Shakoye City is digging lakes from the ground and getting light from the ground......"
"The things that Childe heard were just going to the city. The upper city is close to the ground, and there is already a lot of sunlight seeping down, and then closing the lake surface like a mirror, it is bright enough, and there is no need for Yinghua stone. When you arrive in Midtown, you can only rely on Yinghua Stone to get light. There are lakes in Nakashiro, but most of them are the result of natural flow of underground hot springs. ”
Su Xiaochen suddenly realized, no wonder a warm breeze blew just now, it turned out to be because of the hot spring. This Imulan is really a unique cave, where is the rumored barbarian land, and the wonderful use of this Yinghua stone is also incredible, just as Yang Huairen said, one side of the water and soil and one person.
Now it seems that whether it is Cangwu or Bihai, what they know about Shakoye City is only limited to the upper city, and the real Shakoye is completely unknown. In the twenty-five years since the Battle of Poison Gold, has Cangwu really become arrogant?
Su Xiaochen secretly sighed, if Uncle You was here today, he didn't know what to think.
After another half of the incense, the railing in front of him disappeared again. This time, Su Xiaochen was no longer surprised, he guessed that he was finally going to the most secret lower city.
From sitting on this stone staircase, it has been enough to pass a stick of incense. Su Xiaochen couldn't calculate how deep it was from the ground, let alone how big Shakoye City really was. This city is beyond the reach of the naked eye, and there is no way to infer how many hidden waterways are hidden under the terrain of thousands of caves.
Suddenly, there was a shock under his body, and Su Xiaochen felt that the whole room suddenly stopped moving.
He Gui pressed lightly against a wall, only to see the stone wall slowly retreat outward, revealing a pathway.
"Childe, this is the lower city, and the entrance to the palace is in front, please come with me."
Su Xiaochen whispered to Helin beside him: "Didn't you just say that this stone ladder can go to the deepest layer?" ”
Herin smiled mysteriously and replied, "Childe is really good at remembering, and the slave maid thought that Childe didn't care about what the slave said." This is indeed the deepest layer. ”
"Didn't you say that there are twelve floors in the lower city?"
"Childe, you'll find out later."
Su Xiaochen hurriedly chased a few steps forward, lest He Gui in front of him have to turn around and bow again and ask if he is tired and wants to rest.
The four of them turned a few corners along the long passage, and Su Xiaochen suddenly felt that the distance began to get brighter and brighter, as if he had walked from the passage to the entrance of the cave. When he stepped out of the cave, he found a railing, and was greeted by a mountain breeze.
This...... Here it is......
Su Xiaochen was shocked by the scene in front of him, and he couldn't believe what he saw for a while.
It's not a city, it's a world!
In the distance, the margins are high mountains and forests, and the mountains are stacked on top of each other. The place where he stood was on the cliff of one of the mountains. Looking at the railing, the foot is thousands of feet in the sky, and the bottom is almost invisible, which makes people daunting
Fear.
Su Xiaochen couldn't help but take a step back, and then looked at the rows of unknown white birds flying in the lush forest. Under the sun, the river shuttles like a belt, and where it passes, it diverges into countless small streams or waterfalls like curtains. Everywhere these streams and waterfalls go, they are full of vitality, just like the spring color of the southern country, where there is half of the bitter cold land of the Imuran desert.
On this vast and boundless boundary, stands a huge city tower, which is not held on the mountainside like the Zhangren Palace in the capital of Wanhua Emperor, nor is it perched on the water like the Taiye City, but is square, unpretentiously like a majestic mountain, directly entrenched in the center.
Each floor of the city tower is extremely square, but each high floor should be slightly smaller, until the highest floor, become the top of the city tower, stacked on top of all the floors, the whole city is like a huge jade seal, buckled on the ground, from a high place it looks so immovable, the air is calm and mountainous.
At this moment, Su Xiaochen suddenly understood the meaning of the words "great ingenuity". In the exquisiteness of Zhangren Palace and the beauty of Taiye City, this Palhan Palace of Imuran can really be called majestic.
But this is obviously a very deep place underground, how can there be sunlight?
Su Xiaochen looked at the sun in the sky and felt that it didn't seem to be so dazzling, but he still couldn't look at it directly.
"This is on the ground? Or underground? As soon as Su Xiaochen's words came out, he suddenly felt that he was also a little funny, obviously the stone staircase had been descending, how could it be on the ground.
He Gui seemed to understand the confused expression on Su Xiaochen's face, and patiently explained: "This is the lower city, the deepest place in Imuran. Although there is only one floor, it is as big as 12 floors when the top and bottom are combined. ”
Su Xiaochen looked at the huge palace in the shape of a jade seal, and thought to himself that if it weren't for the fact that the twelve floors were combined into one layer, he really couldn't put this palace on hold. It's just that how much manpower is needed to dig such an empty place underground.
Seeing that he was still dumbfounded, He Gui said: "The first time Gongzi came here, it is not surprising that he can't understand it, the completion of this Shakoye capital is also a coincidence, and it does not rely entirely on manpower. Childe, please go this way, and the slaves and maids on the road will come one by one. ”
The four of them walked along the railing for a while, and then turned into a stone hall, where a group of soldiers was still guarded. Like the soldiers at the entrance, after a few words of conversation with Hegui, they all knelt down and let them pass.
The four of them passed through the stone hall, and this time did not enter a room, but came to a man-dug channel, which was narrow enough to fit a boat, and the water was gentle, accompanied by the sound of murmuring water.
He Ping carefully helped Su Xiaochen to get on the boat, and after He Gui waited for the four of them to sit down, he said, "Son, please sit down, the boat is about to move", and took off the rope tied to the shore at the bow of the boat. Ingeniously, the boat did not need to be manpowered, and it slowly moved forward with the current in the canal.
Only then did Su Xiaochen see clearly that this was a waterway dug out along the cliff, like a mountain road winding down. The current is not fast, and it doesn't feel bumpy when sitting. this
The waterway swirls around the mountain wall, and along the way you get a clear view of the four sides of the palace.
"The Imulans are nomadic and have always suffered from sandstorms, and when autumn and winter come, all the herders have to find caves to live in. However, natural disasters have shown that sandstorms can sometimes occur even in spring. But after the spring opens, if the hole is not out of the hole, the cattle and sheep will starve to death if they do not have enough feed. The Imulans knew that it was still dangerous to travel at this time, and they had no choice but to leave the cave to find a place with water and grass. So since ancient times, 12 out of 12 Imulans have died from sudden sandstorms. He Gui spoke eloquently, and when he talked about helplessness, his expression was gloomy.
