Chapter 6: The City of Ice and Snow

Ge Sheng and Ah Che walk at the bottom of the lake.

Ge Sheng looked at the deep lake overhead, the originally bright sunlight was now only a little dark spectrum floating on the vault of the corridor, and he could see the swaying aquatic plants looking forward to life beyond the ice crystals, and from time to time there were schools of fish swimming overhead, as if birds were flying overhead.

This is the world at the bottom of the lake, so real that it borders on fantasy.

Ah Che looked at Ge Sheng, who couldn't take his eyes off, touched his nose and asked, "Is it the first time you've come?" ”

Ge Shengmu nodded, and then suddenly awakened: "Ah Che, aren't you also coming to Ye Ye City for the first time?" ”

"yes." Ah Che nodded seriously: "But it's not the first time I've gone to the Lanlan Imperial Capital, the Snow Clothes Yongdao and the Ice Crystal Yongdao are both from the hands of saints, but there is not much difference?" ”

"That." Ge Sheng couldn't help asking, "Why not build a bridge?" ”

Oh, yes? Why not build bridges?

Such a tunnel at the bottom of the lake is so expensive and difficult to build that it is almost a miracle.

So why not just build a bridge out of it, no matter how difficult it is, it is impossible to be sad about this crystal promenade built at the bottom of the lake?

"It's not that it can't." Ah Che glanced back at Ge Sheng and shook his head slightly: "It's impossible." ”

She pointed to the lake above her head, "You know? How many bridges have been built on it? Ten seats? Twenty? Thirty? ”

She hugged the white cat and smiled and gave the answer: "In fact, since the record, a total of seventy-four bridges across the lake have been built on this lake, and as for the number of those that have been preserved, it is zero. ”

"There have been so many wars and devastation in this land that perhaps no one can really count the number of terrible battles that have taken place around these two cities in the lake." Ah Che's eyes were surprisingly clear, she was originally such a delicate and lovely girl, and at this time she seriously seemed to be a historian who wrote down history: "Once there is a siege, once there is a war, the city in the lake that was originally a big lake is a moat, and the first thing to do is to dismantle the bridge across the lake to isolate all land attacks." And when the siege occurs, the foreign enemy often chooses to besiege, and the premise of the siege is naturally to cut off all the passage between the city and the outside world. Therefore, they will also choose to tear down the bridge. ”

"In such a situation, in the end, the city finally chose to go into its own way, relying only on a limited number of ferries for the exchange of goods and personnel." Ah Che said slowly, and then pointed his finger at the end of the road: "Then, the saint was born. ”

"Moon Sage, the founder of Ye Ye Academy, he has left too many legends, so it's right to know that this road under his feet is also from him." With a certain longing, Ah Che told the man who had become a legend: "So, Ye Ye City has become Ye Ye City. ”

……

……

If there is a word, it is long, and if there is no word, it is short, and it is said that the two men walked in the corridor for half an hour before they saw a bright exit appear in front of them.

"It's finally here." Ah Che was delighted, she looked sideways at the walls of ice crystals around her and the distant flowing water swimming fish beyond the walls, and said briskly: "I'll go first." ”

After saying that, the blue-haired girl with a double ponytail jumped up and rushed up, holding the white cat.

Ge Sheng was concerned about Feng Ying--well, it was really rustic-and hurriedly followed.

Originally, the two of them walked through the crowd one after the other, and Ah Che was like a lark out of the cage, with fast and agile steps, which made Ge Sheng, who was closely behind, speechless.

Just as she was thinking, the girl in front of her suddenly stood up and let out a heartfelt exclamation: "Wow! ”

"Ahh Ge Sheng couldn't dodge, although he had cultivated a thousand tribulations, but the distance was too close, and his body bumped into it without saying anything.

"Harness the wind." Ge Sheng spit out these two characters lightly and quickly from his mouth, and a gentle air current lifted them up when they were about to fall into a rolling gourd, Ge Sheng looked up and was about to say something, but he couldn't help but froze.

He finally understood why Ah Che made that stunned gesture.

In front of him is a city of ice and snow.

The city wall is a transparent ice block that is as smooth as a mirror, up to more than 20 zhang, and the thickness is not less than five zhang, and the ice is engraved with complex and obscure magic patterns flashing with dark golden light, like a dense net spreading in the entire city wall.

It was a whole block of ice, without any carving or grinding, as if a god had frozen the entire Shattered Star Lake into ice, and then dug out a huge iceberg that could surround an entire city with the power of the supreme god, and then cut it into a neat wall and embedded it with gold threads to form a powerful magic pattern.

In fact, the walls were indeed cast this way, overnight.

Beneath the walls was a snow-white turbulence that was five feet wide, not an ordinary moat, but a terrifying weapon formed entirely by circulating ice debris, and there was an icy mist floating on this long stream of ice and snow, like a mist that would never dissipate.

Although there was a protective fence by the river at this time, Ge Sheng could guess that even a heavily armed team of 1,000 heavy cavalry would be instantly ground into flesh and blood powder and then frozen into ice once they jumped down this deep stream of ice and snow.

"Such a terrible city." Ge Shengne said: "How did Emperor Yuantai break it?" ”

"According to historical records, Emperor Yuantai besieged the city for 17 years, and organized more than 30 siege battles of more than 100,000 people. Ah Che shook his head, driving away a little unhappiness in his heart: "That majesty really has terrible perseverance and patience, like a lion quietly waiting for its prey to die. ”

Ge Sheng looked at the magnificent city of ice and snow in front of him, thinking back to the emperor and the saint who confronted him in front of this city a hundred years ago.

The so-called wind and cloud meeting, the so-called peak showdown, nothing more than this.

One is a saint who single-handedly changed the entire history of mankind, and the other is the founding emperor who created the glorious Lanye Empire out of thin air.

A hundred years ago, they fought a seventeen-year war around the city, culminating in the death of a saint and the passing of an era.

That year was the year before the Ranran calendar.

After that year, Emperor Yuantai fixed the capital of Lanlan Holy City, with Yeye City as the accompanying capital, the country name Lanye, and the calendar as the Lanli calendar, since then, the Lanye Empire has really been established.

Therefore, the entire Lanye Empire is a kingdom established by stepping on the corpses of saints.

Ge Sheng couldn't help but sigh, and looked again at the city that was still impregnable even after such a war, such an existence built with miracles could probably only be destroyed by the same miracles.

Ge Sheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
