Chapter 244: City of God (2)
[Thanks: Good names are taken by ugly people, ten thousand rewards]
The water here is so clear that you can see the deep sea with the naked eye. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe huge dragon-shaped image shook slowly under the seabed, and where the body swung, the smoke clouds in the sea vibrated and the water waves fluctuated, and the sea floor was turned upside down. If you calculate proportionally, any kind of huge creature under the sea is amazingly large, especially the big shadow like a dragon, if it turns over to the surface of the sea, I am afraid that the whole sky will be covered by it.
Chen Zhi suddenly remembered the legend of the ancients about Kunpeng, which was described in Zhuangzi's "Wandering Away", "There is a fish in the northern underworld, and its name is Kun, and the Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is; Turned into a bird, its name is Peng, Peng's back, I don't know its thousands of miles, angry and flying, its wings like clouds hanging from the sky. ”
It means that in ancient times, there was a fish in the northern sea called Kun. This kun is very huge, and its length is thousands of miles wide. Later, it became a bird called Peng, and Peng is also very large, just its back, it can't tell how many thousands of miles long. Once he got angry and flapped his wings, and his wings covered the whole blue sky.
These exaggerated adjectives of ancient legends have become so real at this time, and those giant creatures are now truly in sight, roaming the bottom of the sea. Everyone was shocked to lean on the edge of the boat and look at the scene below, and the fear of the unknown world and the yearning for the mythical world filled the nerves of each of them, making everyone feel as if they were in a dream.
Chen Zhi was not distracted by this amazing spectacle of the sea, he was more concerned about the snow-white city in the sea fog on the opposite shore, which kept looking at the other side with a telescope. The appearance of the city became clearer and clearer, revealing imposing buildings in the sea mist. The canoe was moving very fast, and in about an hour they reached the island opposite.
The canoe slid forward on its own as it hit the beach, making a graceful sand mark on the beach and leaning against the shore. Everyone jumped off the canoe, and both ankles were immediately buried by white fine sand, and the beach here was full of white fine sand powder, finer than millet grains, which looked like refined salt, and it was very gentle to the touch, with a cold and skin-friendly touch.
The temperature on the island is a little low, but the valley in front of it is still green and full of vegetation, but there is a strange dead silence in the valley, a dead silence that should not belong to the mountains, and there seems to be no living life in the mountain forest in front of it.
On the south side of the beach is a large green meadow, and behind the meadow is the gate of the white city.
The view from here is completely different from the view from afar, and the location of the castle is between two rocks, occupying a powerful position. The walls of the city are so high that people can't see the top when they stand down and look up, and the walls are made of large pieces of white stone, and the gates of the city walls are made of wood, and the switches are sealed with iron frames, and the bearings of the doors are made of a lot of metal, which is still shining from a distance.
"We're going to go now, everyone be vigilant, watch out for creatures or other dangers that suddenly appear, I'll try to sneak in as much as possible...". Before Chen Zhi entered the city, he adjusted his plan to calm everyone's nervousness.
Now in everyone's mind, they have avoided thinking about anything they might see, and they are not afraid of the unknown ahead, but they have integrated everything into the group and trusted their teammates.
After everyone adjusted, according to the planned formation, they quietly approached the city gate from the side with their weapons.
This time it was led by the ghost knife, his speed was very fast, and everyone followed him to the city gate quickly.
The gate was too high, and in the middle of it was decorated with two snow-white and delicate gold-inlaid white jade knockers, but the distance was so high that they could not reach it at their height.
Fortunately, the door was open, the huge deadbolt hung there, and no one lifted it, and there were no traces of the metal bearings on both sides of the door switch, as if it was naturally open and didn't mind anyone going in at all. On both sides of the gate are two stone towers, like the style of the hollow buildings of the ancient ancestors, with a lookout on it, but the mouth is empty, and there is no one stationed, it really does not look like it is inhabited.
Everyone was not as nervous as before, they walked through the gate towards the city, and in front of them they saw a garrison sentry hall, at least thirty or forty meters high, and it was still empty, and not even half a figure could be seen. From this it is clear that there is no one in the city to guard it.
Everyone glanced at each other at this time, took a deep breath, and the nervousness that they had just now, and the nervousness that they didn't even dare to breathe seemed to be alleviated a little, and everyone raised their weapons, turned into two rows, and quickly walked towards the city, entering the city.
After entering the city, you will see a very wide road in front of you, and the road surface is paved with translucent spars, which shines brightly in the sun. There is a big road leading to the gorgeous main palace in front, but there are nearly 100 large and small portals on both sides of the road, although they seem to be some private houses, most of them are only one or two stories high, but the architectural style and decoration are very gorgeous. And although there are not many floors, the shelves of the building are very high, and the houses are of different sizes, which seem to be inhabited by giants of all sizes.
The identities of the inhabitants of this city seem to be hierarchical, and the more you go into the city, the more ornate the buildings on both sides of the avenue become. The panes of some houses are made of white jade balustrades inlaid with night pearls, and some high-rise attics have large rolls of gold and silver embroidered pendant beads and brocade tents, which shine in the sun, and their exquisiteness is breathtaking. In short, along the way, people can see the prosperous scene of the divine realm, it is really a golden and jade reclamation, the so-called treasure of the world, here is nothing more than paving the road and building the wall.
The further back you go, the lower the height of the houses on both sides, until they are about the same size as normal human houses.
Everyone admired the fairy treasure mirror here, a dreamy scenery, and seemed to have forgotten their previous fears, and the whole team was filled with an inexplicable excitement and yearning.
The houses here are very old-fashioned, and all the portals have wooden verandahs on the outside.
The guest gallery is a typical architectural style in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, when the human beings still followed the living habits of the primitive tribes, liked to live and eat together, and cooked food together. During the day, when the hunters had gone up to the mountains to hunt and returned, the women cooked the game and placed it on their verandah, so that all the people who had fallen together could eat it, and the food on the verandah of each family belonged to themselves and to the whole clan.
And Chen Zhi soon discovered the source of the cooking smoke he had seen on the boat before. On the wooden planks of the verandahs of the ornate houses in front of them, there are delicate gold and silver vessels of all sizes, filled with steaming food.
