Chapter 133: Twin Towers
A group of hundreds of thousands of troops of the Long family army passed by the boundary of Shuangta County, and Wang Mian entered the boundary of Shuangta County alone.
When Wang Mian had just entered the 100,000 barren mountains and forests, Wang Mian had seen an old man, who was sitting in the Twin Towers County.
As the name suggests, the county of the two towers got its name from the fact that it has two tall towers.
The two towers are located on the east and west sides of the Shuangta County respectively, standing in the square on both sides of the Kaiyuan Temple, about 200 meters apart, it is an octagonal five-story pavilion-style imitation wood structure stone tower.
The name of the east tower is "Zhenguo Tower", and according to legend, a five-story wooden tower was built by a Zen master who attained enlightenment. After several times of destruction and reconstruction, easy wood for bricks, easy bricks for stone, this mineral, extremely rare, so far, no one knows its composition and function.
The process of turning bricks into stone took hundreds of years to complete. The tower is 48.24 meters high, and the tower plane is divided into four parts: the corridor, the outer wall, the corridor in the tower and the octagonal column in the center of the tower. The tower is a frame-type structure. The central pillar of the tower runs through each floor and is the support of the whole tower. The eight corners of the tower pillar on each floor are erected with stone beams, which are connected to the tower wall and leaning on the pillar of 2 meters thick, and the protective bucket of the top pillar is supported by the Chinese arch layer by layer, and the span of the stone beam is reduced. The stone beam and the beam support are like an axe chisel, and the mortise and tenon are jointed, so that the stress connection of the tower center and the tower wall depends on each other to form a whole, which greatly strengthens the firmness of the tower body. The tower wall is made of processed and carved purple granite, which is stacked in a criss-cross method, with accurate calculation and meticulous construction. The solid foundation and the solid core of the tower that conforms to the principles of mechanics make this building weighing more than 10,000 tons stand tall despite thousands of years of wind, frost and rain.
According to legend, at the beginning of the establishment of the Zhenguo Tower, it experienced a major earthquake of about eight magnitudes, and it was actually intact, which is really a miraculous workmanship.
The stone pagoda is not only sturdy, but also delicately shaped. The eaves of the tower stretch outward in a curved arc, and the eaves angle is high, so that the tower body has the posture of being ready to fly in the air, and it appears light. There are four doors and four niches on each floor, which are interchangeable layer by layer. This not only evenly disperses gravity, but also makes the appearance of the tower more vivid and beautiful. The eaves corner of each layer of the tower is a bronze duo, when the breeze blows, the sound of Duo dingdong, pleasant and pleasant. There are eight big iron chains at the top of the tower, connecting the eight warped corners and the brake top, which looks magnificent, and the purple air is fluttering. There are also 16 reliefs carved on the wall of each layer of the tower, which are respectively carved with the human heavenly vehicle, the sound and hearing vehicle, the Yuanjue vehicle, the Bodhisattva vehicle and the Buddha vehicle, a total of 88 lifelike character statues. The knife work is delicate, the lines are smooth, and the craftsmanship is exquisite.
The west tower is called Renju Tower.
The original name was "Amitayus Tower". This tower is more ancient, according to legend, the person who established it, is the successful ascension to the saint, set up this tower to commemorate.
Tens of millions of years of wind and rain, even standing, it is said that the person who built this tower injected supreme power, and put treasures in the tower, so that this tower is protected by treasures, and it will remain the same after tens of millions of years.
The West Tower is slightly lower than the East Tower, and its size is almost exactly the same as the East Tower. Only the male bearded Guanyin and the monkey walker reliefs are different from those of the East Pagoda.
Judging from the scale, shape and craftsmanship of the stone tower, it can be said to be exquisite. It fully embodies the high degree of technological wisdom and great creativity of human beings thousands of years ago.
The most peculiar thing is that the East and West Twin Towers, at noon on the 10th day, the reflections of the twin towers will be reflected in the middle of the twin towers, overlapping each other, day after day, year after year, day after day, no one can explain the situation.
The twin towers are guarded by two major families, the east and the west, and the east tower (Zhenguo Tower) is guarded by the mysterious Meizu.
The West Towers are guarded by the ancient families of the Twin Towers themselves.
There are still more than 50 miles away from the Twin Towers, Wang Mian saw the famous Twin Towers from a distance, under the illumination of the noon sun, the east tower faintly glows red, and the west tower is faintly black, one black and one red, particularly dazzling.
The crown stood on top of a hill, looking out from afar, black and red intertwined, looming.
Wang Mian sat down, rested for a while, and was about to leave, when in the distance, a strange scene occurred in the twin towers.
The red color of the east tower suddenly turned into a golden sky, and in the gold, a phoenix flew all over the sky, sometimes approaching the west tower and sometimes hovering over the east tower, which looked extremely cheerful.
The black color of the West Tower showed a black dragon, and the dragon's entire body completely hovered over the West Tower, surrounding the entire West Tower, making the entire West Tower look even more pitch black, and the deep vortex in the darkness made the crown lose his mind.
Wang Mian felt that he had entered a completely black space, surrounded by infinite darkness, only the black in front of him was heavier, and Wang Mian couldn't help but move forward, slowly groping his way forward.
Wang Mian could no longer control his thoughts, like iron filings caught by a magnet, unable to get out.
Suddenly, a trace of breath flowed out of Wang Mian's heart, gradually flowing all over his body, this feeling was very comfortable, and finally converged into the dantian.
Wang Mian woke up and was almost startled.
In front of him, one foot is on the edge of the cliff, and the other foot is already in the air, if he is awake for 0.1 seconds, the crown will fall off the cliff, and the consequences are unimaginable.
Wasn't it on a hill just now, even if it fell, it wouldn't be so badly injured, and at this moment, he came to the edge of the cliff inexplicably, and as soon as the crown moved, a stone fell, and along the edge of the cliff, he hit all the way, and after a few minutes, he couldn't hear the sound of the stone......
Wang Mian looked at the Twin Towers again, the phoenix disappeared, leaving only red, and the dragon also disappeared, and the black aura wrapped around the Black Tower, and there was no longer the deep feeling just now.
Rubbing his eyes, Wang Mian looked at the Twin Towers again, making sure that it was still the same as he had seen it at first, and Wang Mian finally gave up.
"Was it just a hallucination?" Wang Mian muttered to himself, but it was so real, and now, Wang Mian still had palpitations.
Wang Mian sacrificed his "flying motorcycle", this time, the speed was very fast, and after a while, he had already arrived at the gate of Shuangta County, Wang Mian put away the flying motorcycle, made a little dress, mixed in the crowd, and entered the main city of Shuangta County.
Twin Towers County is quite prosperous, and the area is also comparable to that of Phantom Moon City, and there are a lot of shops and storefronts on the street.
Since the southeast of Shuangta County is a hundred thousand barren mountains, there are many merchants who do business with the demons, so many items in the Shuangta County City have the breath of the demons, the demon beast demon core, the demon beast demon core, and of course, the magic pill and so on.
The most are the monster beast items, the monster beast fur, bright and soft, bright color, so that the crown can't help but think of the fur coat, the best to keep out the cold.
Among the shops on the street, there are also many shop signs related to demon beasts, and the most eye-catching thing is the monster meat.
These shops with monster meat are extremely busy, and almost all of them are overcrowded.
It is said that the demon beast meat here, from one to nine grades, the price is different, the meat quality is different, the more common is the first to three grade demon beast meat, of course, the rarest, of course, is the nine grade demon beast meat.
To say that this nine-grade demon beast meat is almost priceless, very rare, and in the general store, almost for so many years, I have never seen the nine-grade demon beast meat, only a few relatively large shops in the city, have sold the nine-grade demon beast meat once or twice, and the result is that people robbed it, resulting in the store being smashed, countless casualties, and then few people hunted more advanced demon beast meat again.
Wang Mian continued to walk, the door of a shop was full of people, almost blocking the entire street and impassable, Wang Mian looked around, and there was a sign in the shop, which read, "Demon flesh and blood, ten black crystals a catty!" ”。
"Demon flesh?" Wang Mian was surprised, the flesh and blood of this demon can also be sold for money, isn't this the cannibalism in Mr. Lu Xun's book? Could it be that this world is already the world in the books of the old-timers of the tree people, people eat people.
At this moment, Xiao Er shouted loudly: "Black Dragon Meat ......"
Wang Mian squeezed into the crowd and quickly approached Xiao Er.
