Chapter 113: The Tower of Corpses
Chapter 113
The sun is beginning to penetrate, the fog in the mountains has not been sharply reduced, and the sound of sword practice in Cangbaimen is like a group of joy, and the sword edge is fierce, waking up the quiet morning.
No matter how long the days and nights are short in summer, the time still passes smoothly, and the time of parting also arrives as scheduled.
The edge of the sword sounded, and with the wind, Ye Xiaoxi suddenly ran out of the crowd.
She held the sword in her hand, and kept her eyes on Wu Ma Wei and Su Ji, who were communicating with Master Chu on the other side, keeping vigilant, delicate and fast, and ran straight to Qi Ling, who was quietly watching the mountain scenery at the gate.
β... If you say you're going to come back to me, you can't forget it, otherwise... I won't let you enter the Cangbai Gate, hum~"
"Hehe~ I won't forget. β
Qi Ling felt the sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Ye Xiaoxi hurriedly stopping in front of him.
Nervously opened his mouth to himself, with some orders in his tone, he smiled lightly, nodded in response, looked at the three people talking in the distance, and couldn't help but worry about Ye Xiaoxi's sudden move.
In order to tell himself what happened yesterday, he was lazy to come out during the morning exercise, Wu Ma Wei is so strict, if he is discovered, he must have to suffer hardship, Qi Ling hurriedly dissuaded.
"You go back to the team to practice your sword, and if you are found by Wu Ma Wei, you will be punished. β
"I'm not afraid of him, I'm here just to... Smell yours. β
Qi Ling's reminder, Ye Xiaoxi didn't take it to heart, pursed his lips, and in a blink of an eye, he became obsessed, slowly approached Qi Ling, and gently sniffed the fragrance on his body, and the elegance was empty in an instant, which made Qi Ling smile.
When girls first know each other and know each other well, are they all two faces?
β... At first, I thought you were a reserved and smart girl, but now it seems that not only are you not reserved, but you don't seem to be very smart."
Qi Ling looked at Ye Xiaoxi's immersed appearance, couldn't help but interrupt, and nudged Ye Xiaoxi's incense forehead with his fingers, stopping her approaching movements, looking at her stunned appearance, he couldn't help but tease.
"Hmph, nonsense, how can I not be reserved, I am very reserved if I don't pounce. β
Ye Xiaoxi raised his eyes, looked at the fingers on his forehead with white eyes, and sneered at Qi Lingjiao, with a disapprehensive face, like a savage calf, he pushed back Qi Ling's fingers hard, soft and strong, with some taste.
β... That... Can I be lucky enough to be pounced on by you?"
"Ye Xiaoxi, why did you run out?"
Looking at Ye Xiaoxi, a little man, he didn't expect that his strength was quite strong, Qi Ling didn't continue to be embarrassed, but there was a trace of evil charm on the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly withdrew his fingers with a soft word.
The force of confrontation suddenly disappeared on the top of Ye Xiaoxi's head, and as soon as the inertia came, Ye Xiaoxi's petite body threw himself into Qi Ling's arms.
Before he paused in his arms, Wu Ma Wei's voice suddenly sounded from behind, and this scene of fluttering suddenly attracted the eyes of a figure practicing swords, both surprised and disgusted.
"I... I..."
"Ahem, what kind of behavior, what kind of system... Go back to sword practice. β
As soon as his head entered his arms, Ye Xiaoxi's unstable figure was immediately straightened by Wu Ma Wei's voice, and he quickly turned around, blushing with a small face, and saw Wu Ma Wei pushing Su Ji over.
Wu Ma Wei's eyes were helpless, a low cough came out of his throat, and he softly reprimanded Ye Xiaoxi's behavior, and then drove Ye Xiaoxi back to the team to practice swords.
Wu Ma Wei's tone was so light and unshy, so abnormal that Ye Xiaoxi's shy face became confused.
She glanced at the three people in front of her, and then paid attention to Qi Ling behind her, pursed her lips and smiled and hurriedly ran back to the team, Chen Jiawei Xue saw Ye Xiaoxi returning to the team, and also hurriedly pulled back, the two of them covered their mouths and laughed in a low voice, as if it was a plan from the beginning.
β... Thank you Master Sumen, Elder Wuma has taken care of me and Qi Ling these days, we will leave immediately, and we will not disturb your family. β
"Hehe~ It's okay, it's okay, please be more careful on the road. β
Master Chu didn't know what had just happened, and his eyes simply swept both sides, so he clenched his fists and signaled to Su Ji.
Seeing the situation, Su Ji also chuckled back, and with a word of instruction, he saw Master Chu personally opening his sword on the ground, and he was about to leave.
"Farewell!"
Chu Shi took the lead in the sword, Qi Ling followed, the two hugged their fists again, with Chu Shi's solemn words, the sword body floated in the air, slowly rising, looking up from below, and looking down at the other from above.
When the meaning is clear, he will return to the door.
The location of the corpse tower, the name of the city is Beirao.
The meaning of this name is clear, golden baby, the land of abundance, but it is only said that it was once.
Since the demon moon occupied this place decades ago, the basic materials in Bei Raoli have been taken away by the demon moon, and the people in the city have gone from being rich to now, they can only solve the problem of food and clothing, forcing them to be almost nothing, and the people in the city are becoming scarcer and scarcer, and they are close to the empty city.
If the people only seize the work materials alone, maybe everyone can still live a stable life, but what they seize is food, and the food is empty, and everyone can only migrate if they survive.
Nor is migration the solution to the root causes of the food crisis.
Bei Rao, just the demon moon to seize the center of the grain, thanks to Bei Rao's extensive transportation, its location almost runs through the eight directions of the continent, Bei Rao can not provide new food energy, but also mobilize the eight directions, from other places to transfer here.
Therefore, it can be said that the strength of the demon moon is all over the continent, and they are all rich regions.
Although the Demon Moon's forces are all over the continent, the threat posed by them is not as deadly as the ghost later.
Listening to Master Chu's description, Demon Moon is still a developing demon beast, and her age is no more than eighteen years old at most, and her mind is not as scheming as the old woman after the ghost.
In her heart, there is only food, only food.
Therefore, for this demon moon who was still at a naΓ―ve age, Chu Shi did not plan to fight, but still negotiated with the demon moon.
If you succeed, it will be easy to do, if you don't succeed, then use her "crime" as the point to eradicate her.
Let her be starved of food and die on the verge, if she is rescued, she will regard the rescuer as a benefactor, and there will be a chance to get closer.
This is Chu Shi's plan.
Berao.
Chu Shi Imperial Sword flew about a pillar of incense, and finally came to Bei Rao.
Bei Rao is really wide, the roads extend in all directions, all kinds of buildings rise from the ground, surrounded by green plants, or antique or magnificent.
Although there are not many people who come and go, they wear gorgeous robes and are elegant, and it is not difficult to see that the cultural level of this city is also directly proportional to the economic level.
Looking down for a moment after moment, the speed of Chu Shi's imperial sword increased again, bypassing between the buildings, gradually approaching mountains and rivers, becoming more and more remote, flying for nearly half an hour, Chu Shi slowly reduced the speed of the sword, lowered the sword body, and stopped in front of a tall tower, a distance of 100 meters.
Corpse Tower.
The layers are stacked high, and you can only look at the top of the tower by raising your neck.
The body of the tower is mixed with black, gloomy as dead silence, only the boundary between the layers has a golden road streamer division, the streamer is five, a total of five layers, the meaning is like the brilliant splendor in the dead silence.
Around the tower, the vegetation is thick, low shrubs, towering ancient trees, have not spread in the tower 100 meters.
If you look closely, you can also find that there are paths in the vegetation in all directions, either narrow or spacious, not furnishings, and there are always people and caravans coming and going, continuously, but in the center, they are all corpse towers.
β... Let's go. β
Master Chu glanced at the figures coming and going below, dropped his sword to a narrow path, asked Qi Ling to put down his sword, and immediately put away his sword, and the two followed the team that sent the grain forward.
Following these food delivery teams, it is not difficult to see the bitterness on the faces of these people.
The most solemn of them was a few horse-drawn carts, and a few people pushed a whole wooden cart to transport.
But no matter how bitter the face was, the food on the cart was full, and they would come to worship every day, and the offering of this cart was about one month's grain.
Not to mention that the poor cannot afford to provide for it, and the rich people can't afford it, and if the gold and silver treasures are used to buy food, I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to save their lives.
Waiting for these convoys to advance, when it was the turn of the two Chu Divisions, it was almost noon, and the two people who were waiting were sweating, but the two were still waiting in an orderly manner, unwilling to cut in line.
In fact, there is a reason why the two do not cut the line.
If these foods can't be delivered to the demon moon on time, not only will the food delivery be doubled, but they may also be recruited by the demon moon and become a slave.
Therefore, the two Chu masters would rather wait than delay the speed of everyone's grain transportation.
β... Young Master Chu?"
When it was Master Chu's turn, the manager of the first layer immediately recognized Master Chu, his face was surprised, and he was surprised, he didn't expect Master Chu to come back to the corpse tower.
"Is the demon moon here?"
"Lord Demon Moon is on the top floor. β
"I've got something to look for her. β
β... You please. β
Seeing the situation, Master Chu's face was untouched, and he immediately asked, and when the manager reported the information of the demon moon, Master Chu immediately said the purpose, and the administrator immediately waved his hand, signaling those who were enslaved to start the tower gate and let the two enter.
Master Chu didn't delay the progress behind him, nodded in response, and immediately took Qi Ling to the top.
Entering the tower, Qi Ling's breath was filled with all kinds of smells, saying that it was fragrant or not, saying that it was not smelly, it was very mixed and indescribable.
As far as the eye could see, it was chaos, and the large space was filled with two kinds of food.
Fresh food was arranged in an orderly manner by enslaved people, filling the aisles, and the fragrance overflowed.
On the other side, food scraps are all over the place, and they are also sorted out by the enslaved people, piled up high, like a hill falling from a tower, filthy and smelly, and the difference is great.
Qi Ling didn't have time to sigh with his words, he was led to the second floor by Master Chu, and the scene on the second floor was the same, the same was true for the third time, and the fourth floor was no different.
Through the consent of the managers of each floor, the two finally came to the top floor of the tower, and here, at last, something was different.
On the fifth floor, although the space is smaller than the floors under the tower, the hygiene is good, clean and clean, and the food is also guaranteed.
Square tables are all over the place, the food is gorgeously wrapped in various packages, neatly stacked high, and the aroma is attractive, and sure enough, only those in the center can have this treatment.
Those managers, who stay in those chaotic spaces day and night, how much capacity do they have to endure to not be afraid?
Of course, the most different thing is the people who serve here.
The people who served here were not made of the flesh, they were all formed and condensed from corpses, and they were all one foot tall and nearly ten in number, and they were all serving the girl in the center of the tower wearing a black shirt and long black hair.
That, naturally, is the demon moon.
"~Sucking~ What a taste, it's all dry on this meat. β
"Suck it~ something, why are these chicken feet shrinking so small... Smaller than the palm of my hand?"
As soon as Chu Shi and Qi Ling came to the door of the top floor of the tower, they heard a dense "sucking" sound from the position of the demon moon, and from time to time they heard her complaints.
"Demon Moon. β
"At the beginning... Chu Jie?"
Master Chu slowly approached with Qi Ling, and with a mouth, the tower was ethereal.
When Demon Yue heard the sound, the food puffed out her cheeks, and her face suddenly became puzzled, but she didn't expect it to be Master Chu.
β... It's so leisurely, and I still eat hot pot. β
β... Otherwise, don't rob me! It's all mine!
Chu Shi approached the green pot on Demon Yue's body, looked at the strange-shaped dishes here, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Demon Yue bit her chopsticks and stared at Master Chu's behavior, and suddenly grabbed the handle of the pot with both hands, frowned and scolded Master Chu for getting closer, and immediately picked up the chopsticks to eat frantically, and quickly protected the food.
"Hehe~ I won't rob you of these, I'll borrow something from you. β
"Uh... Hmm, what... Stuff?"
Seeing the situation, Master Chu stopped and stood up, shook his head and smiled helplessly, with his hands on his chest, showing no interest in the dishes in her pot.
When Demon Yue heard this, she immediately stopped what she was doing, chewed a large mouthful of meat and vegetables in her mouth, and asked while chewing, her face full of doubt.
β... This pot. β
