Chapter 274: Wooden Tower
"The defenses here are getting looser and looser, and they have come to this point, and they are ...... with such a breach."
Rong Rong still didn't pay attention to me, she opened the iron door and walked in directly.
And when we both walked through the iron gate, I was stunned by what I saw. It was a feeling of being inside out, not that we saw something terrible, but that we saw something very shocking.
"Wooden Tower."
That's right, after we walked through the iron gate, we finally saw the wooden tower.
As for the architectural style of this wooden tower, I have never seen it before, and we are standing on a wooden plank road. Beneath this plank path is a bottomless abyss, and this plank road extends all the way around the surrounding wall to the top of the wooden tower.
The whole wooden tower was placed upside down in this abyss, its head rushing down, and the chassis firmly "standing" on the top of the cave.
"You say...... You say that where we are now, will it be the position of the cement base? ”
Rong Rong really woke me up when she said this, yes, after walking in this direction for so long, she must have already crossed the breakthrough and came to the bank of the river.
There is a concrete base on the bank of the river, and we thought that the wooden tower was just a legend, but who would have thought that there was really an upside-down wooden tower under the concrete base.
The architecture of this wooden tower looks quite old, both in terms of the choice of wood and the way it is built.
"It's not like a century-old building."
"You mean, this tower wasn't built by my uncle?"
I nodded thoughtfully and said, "Think about it, at that time, your uncle had disappeared for only a few months, how could such a magnificent tower be built in a few months." ”
"That's right, it will take a month just to draw the design drawings of this tower."
While the two of us were chatting, Rong Rong glared at me again and said, "Can you not learn from me?" ”
I looked at her innocently.
"Heaven and earth conscience, I really didn't learn your words, and there are a lot of jokes in this place now."
", it's just the two of us in this cave, who else but you?"
I hated this in my heart, and then asked softly, "Are you kid playing with me?" ”
The figure of a black shadow suddenly appeared beside me.
"I don't have any idleness, but I heard that voice just now."
The words of the black shadow made Rong Rong's and I hearts instantly vigilant.
"You're saying there's anyone else here besides the two of us?"
The shadow shook his head and said, "It would be nice if it was true, but I'm afraid it's not human." ”
"Could it be that you're hallucinating?"
Rong Rong shook her head and said with a determined face, "No, I must have heard it before I asked you." ”
"Yes, I don't have auditory hallucinations, and the aura around here is a little weird, but I can't tell what's weird for a while, but it's always better to be careful."
The three of us walked along the plank road towards the wooden tower, which was very old, and it creaked and creaked when we walked on it. As I walked, I looked down, and there was an endless abyss at my feet, and to be honest, I really didn't expect that there were such deep natural caves in the north.
The temperature in this place is so low that we can clearly see the white fog we spit out when we speak.
But luckily we didn't have a dripping water, and if we had come here, we would have froze when we got here. After finally getting down the boardwalk, I stepped firmly on a jutting rock.
When we walked into the wooden tower, we realized that the wooden tower was only half of what we could see, which was equivalent to half of the wooden tower hanging on the wall, not hanging upside down in the air like we had seen before.
The entrance to the wooden tower was right in front of us, and the two dilapidated wooden doors, all of which had been painted off. Because there was no one to maintain it all year round, a lot of the wood in the building was eaten by insects.
This is a nine-story tower, and our position is at the top of this tower, which is the position of the ninth floor.
So when we opened the door, there was an old-fashioned staircase on the side. The floor was small, and it was only half a tower, so we went up the stairs to the eighth floor.
The eighth floor was obviously much more spacious than the ninth, but it was still a little cramped for the two of us to stand inside. So we continued upstairs, and by the time we got to the fourth floor, the space was much larger.
The three of us also have a lot of room to maneuver when we stand together.
But there was nothing in the tower, only stairs, not even candles. So we didn't have the heart to linger, so we went straight to the second floor.
One level further up to the top of the cave, which is the highest point in the whole tower.
As soon as we reached the second floor, we saw a man in a tawny robe sitting on a futon not far away.
The man was a large skeleton, but he looked petite when he sat there, and he was wrapped in a quilt that wrapped the whole person firmly.
"Are there still people living here?"
I glanced at Rong Rong with disdain and said, "He's obviously not angry anymore, it's just a dead corpse." ”
Rong Rong didn't speak, and the three of us walked over to the man's side. found that this person was only in his fifties, and although his face was a little wrinkled, he looked very energetic.
He sat cross-legged on the futon, his hands were sealed, and his eyes were closed as if he had not suffered too much pain when he died.
Due to the low temperature here, his body did not decompose. At this time, Rong Rong looked around the corpse for a week, and then suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully to the corpse three times.
"What do you mean?"
"This is my uncle...... I didn't expect Uncle Shi to stay here. ”
"No, didn't your uncle go out from here, how could it be ......?"
Rong Rong shook her head and said, "I don't know, but I'm sure he is my master, although I have never met his old man, but he carries my master's token." ”
"What token?"
Rong Rong slowly reached out and took out an oval dzi from the sleeve of the dead corpse.
"Dzi? Is this thing rare? ”
Rong Rong shook her head, and then took out the dzi she was wearing from her neck.
"The key is not the beads, but the red rope, this red rope has a nine-star beaded knot on it, this knot is only known to people in our door, and outsiders will not beat it."
