2. The Hunting Conference Chapter 71 The Spiral Tower

Mao Feng said: "This matter is a long story, if you can stay in the imperial city in the future, you will naturally know." Now the Yuheng Hall is our top priority. ”

Canghai said: "Isn't that Yuheng Hall in the North City?"

Ziru pointed to the tower-like building in front of him and said, "That's the one we see now." ”

Canghai said: "Hey, Yuheng Hall turned out to be a tower. ”

Mao Feng said: "The Yuheng Hall is only a part of the tower. It is said that this pagoda used to be an important place for the cultivation academy, and if the secret treasure in it can be preserved, it can be regarded as a great creation if it is found. ”

Ziru snorted and said, "I also said that I didn't want to go to the Yuheng Palace, but when I saw that I was about to arrive, my eyes were green." ”

Mao Feng smiled: "If you don't pretend, how can you owe me a favor." ”

Ziru pursed her mouth, her cheeks bulged slightly, unhappy.

The three of them walked quickly, and as the distance got closer, the appearance of the Jade Heng Hall gradually became clear. But it was located in the middle of a ravine in ruins, and the bottom was surrounded by a deep fog, and the tower body exposed above the fog was different from ordinary towers, but it was twisted in a spiral like layers up, like a snail's shell, all the way to the sky.

The closer you get to the spiral tower, the thicker the smog becomes, and even with Canghai's unusual eyesight, you can barely see a radius of about 20 meters. Fortunately, the spiral tower was extremely majestic, and despite the thick fog, when you look up, your figure is still impressive. No matter how rough the road was, the three of them just stared at the tower shadow and moved forward.

Canghai looked back, the road was also covered by the thick fog, if it weren't for the tower in front of it standing in the air, very conspicuously to guide them, in this place where there was a thick fog in all directions, they had to lose their way.

I don't know when the surroundings fell silent, the click of footsteps on the sand grains was clearly audible, and the air was so dull that even Ziru didn't talk much. From time to time, wide cracks appeared in the ground, or some broken walls were erected abruptly, and the three of them often had to go around to get through.

As he walked, the wind leading the way suddenly stopped, and then bowed down, as if looking down at something.

Ziru said: "What's wrong?"

Looking ahead of the sea, it turned out that there was a skeleton on the ground. Shura Island is a battlefield ruin, and it is not unusual to have bones, but the strange thing is that the skeleton is lying on the ground, kneeling in the direction of the spiral tower, and it does not look like it died in a fight.

Ziru said: "What is this person worshipping?"

Mao Feng fiddled with the knife a few times, frowned, and said, "I don't know." After the end of the war, Emperor Yun should have collected the remains of his compatriots who died on the battlefield, except for a few that were difficult to clean up or difficult to find. If this corpse hadn't been missed, it would probably be from Jinliang Country. ”

Zi Ru said: "If it is from Jinliang Country, then why does he worship here?"

Mao Feng said: "Your question is too difficult for me." Whatever he worshipped, it was a hundred years ago. Let's go, don't look at it. ”

Not long after walking forward, Canghai sighed and said, "There is also one in front." ”

The second corpse was still facing the spiral tower, in the same kneeling position. The three of them looked at each other for a long time, but they still couldn't see why, and said to the wind: "This is strange." It is no accident that one person is so reasonable, and both of them are in this posture. ”

Then moving on, a third, a fourth, and a fifth were found...... In the end, there were so many that I couldn't remember how many there were, and they all knelt in the same direction. Rao is three people are tall and bold, and when they see such a strange scene, they can't help but be terrified.

Canghai said: "These people died really weirdly. If they were killed, why didn't anyone resist, and they all took the same position? If they said they were on a pilgrimage, how could they all die here?"

Mao Feng said: "There are so many people, if they are killed, unless the caster can wipe everyone out at the same time in an instant, it is impossible for all of them to maintain the same posture. ”

Canghai said: "How powerful is it to do that?"

"Of course, there is another possibility, that is, these people did not die here together, but people from different periods died in the same place for some kind of same reason. ”

Canghai said: "Whatever the possibility, it's unsettling. I always felt that something wasn't quite right in this place. Have you noticed? Since you walked into this haze, there has been no wind. ”

The thick haze settles in the air around it, thick like a liquid, but it doesn't flow much, like stagnant water. Ziru blew at the fog layer in front of him and said, "It's really, there is no wind at all, no wonder it is so sluggish." ”

Mao Feng said: "No matter, let's go to Yuheng Hall first." ”

The three of them quickened their pace and rushed towards the shadow of the tower. The shadow of the tower looked like it was not far away, but after walking for a long time, the distance was still the same distance, as if it had never even approached at all. Canghai faintly felt a hint of foreboding in his heart. The shadow of the tower, which always towered in the air, felt like that no matter how long it walked.

Sure enough, after walking for another two quarters of an hour, the wind that was walking in front stopped again.

At his feet was still a skeleton.

It's just that the skeleton leaned slightly to the side, and the joint joints fell off a little, and it was impossible to maintain a neat kneeling posture.

The three of them surrounded the skeleton, their expressions solemn.

Canghai said: "This is ...... The first skeleton we came across?"

Mao Feng said: "Yes, I used a knife to make this posture crooked. You see, there are scratches on the joints of the knife, and you can't be wrong. ”

Canghai leaned over to take a closer look, nodded and said, "Indeed." ”

Mao Feng looked at the shadow of the tower in front of him and said, "We have been walking towards this spiral tower, it should be a straight line, why did we go back to the original place?"

The two looked at Ziru in unison. After all, among the three people, she is the best at this kind of thing.

Ziru shook his head and said, "With this skeleton alone, I can't see anything." ”

Mao Feng said: "How can it be one, weren't there a lot on the road just now?"

Ziru said: "I didn't know that there would be such a thing, who would pay attention to these haves or not?"

Mao Feng said: "If you don't pay attention to these, what do you pay attention to?

Ziru's face turned red, and he said angrily: "Do you have horns on your heads, what do I pay attention to what you do?"

Canghai looked at the skeleton, thoughtful, and said, "Could it be that someone followed us and deliberately did it?"

Ziru sighed, and hurriedly turned his head to look around.

"You mean, someone deliberately made this skeleton look like I moved?"

Canghai said: "I'm just assuming. This place is full of strangeness, and even if there is something hidden in the fog, it is not easy for us to find out. ”

Mao Feng groaned: "What you said is not unreasonable. There's only one way to know if this skeleton is the one I've moved. The long knife snapped, and a mark like a flower was made on the skull, and he said, "Go again." ”
