079 Basilica of the Virgin

The group searched the city to see if they could get some clues. Passing through the city, we came to the White Tower.

This white tower is the tallest building in the city, the octagonal shape of the tower base, the tower body is also the whole body of snow white, the tower body is very special when the timber is very good, it seems to be a kind of white wood. The city was made of white stone, but this one was not made of stone, but of wood. It seems that this must be a special place.

"This wood is rare," said Princess Minhui, "and there are many strange trees in my Zhaowu territory, but all the wood will be yellowish, and I have never seen such a pure white." ”

Shen Daochang said: "This is not wood. This is the 'Doom Stone'. ”

"'Doom Stone'?" The crowd was puzzled.

"I heard my grandfather say that the emperor tasted a snow-white, non-gold and non-jade stone by chance, this stone texture is like wood, and it will shine like a night pearl at night. Later, after the queen left, the whereabouts of this thing were unknown, and its whereabouts were unknown. ”

"Amitabha, "The Legend of the Immortals: Lao Tzu" contains: 'Life has its own misfortune, and when the time comes, if you change your name to follow the change of vitality, you can postpone the doom of the year.' But the word "doom" is just pinning hope on the ethereal, and "doom" is inevitably "doomed" in the end, and the so-called "stone of doom" is nothing more than that. ”

In other words, this 'Doom Stone' is just a thought, just like those runes and other things.

Shen Daochang didn't explain when he arrived, and went with them.

This tower is surrounded by thousands of feet, all of which are paved with white stones. There is no end in sight to the snow-white stairs, which are not only very majestic, but also holy and solemn. On each side of the staircase stood two rows of guards, each in groups of sixteen, eight on the left and right. Each group is separated by a distance of about ten feet, and there are four groups in total.

These guards, armed with Changge, dressed in white armor, looked serious, and what was even more surprising was that these people were all young women with beautiful complexions.

Shen Daochang led the four people up the stairs, and when he walked among these people, Qi Zinian said: "These people are not ordinary guards, but soldiers!" ”

The so-called armor refers to the soldiers who really go to the battlefield. Whether it is an ordinary guard or a well-trained secret guard, there is a clear difference between them and soldiers. Guards or secret guards may require loyalty, or require high martial arts, but a soldier must have a military soul and an ambition for the country and the people.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and it was unheard of for a woman to be used as a soldier. First, women should guard their own boudoirs and not join the army. Second, women are weak, and marching drills are not something that women can afford physically. It is not uncommon for women to practice martial arts and have strong martial arts, but after all, there are very few, and they are generally used to act as the escort of noble ladies. I have never heard of a woman training the army.

Qi Zinian has always loved the soldiers, these female soldiers have their own murderous atmosphere, obviously they have really been on the battlefield, so that Qi Zinian can't help but have a sense of respect, and then salute like them, and Liuyun followed suit.

"Amitabha, Lord Qi's heart is full of righteousness, and it is a blessing for the people of Zhongli!"

Although I don't know why the Lamp Shadow Monk suddenly praised him, Qi Zinian also saluted: "The master praised it falsely!" ”

Walking through this thousand steps, he saw the plaque on the tower saying "Holy Maiden Palace", Shen Daochang's heart moved, and he thought, "This is the Holy Maiden Palace?" According to his father-in-law, the existence of these Heavenly Machine Sect Masters was all to find this holy woman, and most of that Yue'er was imprisoned here. So he said to everyone: "Everyone be careful, Yue'er and a few people may be here." “

Qi Zinian looked around at the tower, the tower door was closed, and the guards and maids at the door were all young women, without exception. Looking at a few more people, Shen Daochang frowned slightly, afraid that he was not completely sure. Princess Minhye looks like she is bound to win, and she doesn't know what kind of deal she made with Shin Dochang. There is also the Master of Light and Shadow, whose expression is compassionate and calm, I don't know why he would agree to go through this journey together. All this may be revealed soon.

Liuyun stretched out his hand and pushed open the tower door, and saw that it was spacious and grand, and there were maids sweeping and sprinkling, and the water that came out was also stopped, as if it was frozen. Strange to say, it seems that this city has been closed for a long time, and it should have been abandoned a long time ago. But the dead city was still as bright as new, spotlessly clean, as if it were just yesterday.

Liuyun was about to raise his feet to enter, but when he saw a flash of white light at the door, Liuyun was immediately ejected dozens of meters away, a mouthful of blood spit out, and the whole person's breath withered sharply, but he fainted in an instant.

Qi Zinian rushed over when he saw two people appear out of thin air, blocking him, a giant in armor and a demon man holding a folding fan. The armored giant is the spirit of war. The battle spirit shouted angrily: "Whoever dares to trespass on the temple of the Holy Maiden, die!" ”

As he spoke, he was about to make a move, but when Qi Zinian saw it, he threw out the short stick in his hand, pressed the mechanism, and stretched out a section up and down, which was a long spear. He was armed with a silver spear and flew to fight with the battle spirit.

Seeing this, Shen Daochang knew that Qi Zinian might not be the opponent of the battle spirit, so he also drew a soft sword from his waist and joined the battle, and the three of them fought together, and it was difficult to separate.

And the demon man, his eyes locked the shadow of the lamp as if he were nothing, not giving him a chance to make a move.

Princess Minhui is good at Gu poison, and she has no achievements in this martial arts. Know what you are capable of, and don't rush to join them. Besides, between them, they are just using each other, if these people fight and lose, they can just sit back and reap the profits, why not?

I saw Shen Daochang rise into the air, spin in the air, and wave a brilliant light curtain, like a little star falling from the starry sky, the light curtain cut out the rainbow rays that shot out, and it was able to avoid the killing move of the war spirit. Then the long sword swung out, and the dazzling sword light rushed straight up, like a brilliant silver dragon, as if it was about to connect with the lightning that fell from the sky. The war soul has not encountered such an opponent for a long time, and the more he fights, the happier he becomes, and the moves he makes are all ordinary martial arts, without a little spell.

Shen Daochang and the others gradually saw that the battle spirit was at ease, and they didn't do their best at all, if it was a long time, both of them would die in his hands.

Shen Daochang volleyed up in the air again, but was sent out by the war spirit, just in time to see the two rows of guards just now, between the lightning and flint, Shen Daochang thought, so he yelled at Minhui: "Princess, there is someone inside who can take you to find the person you are looking for." ”

Princess Minhui glanced at the gate, and shook her head after glancing at Liuyun, whose life and death were unknown.

Shen Daochang said again: "This formation only hinders men, not women!" ”

When the war spirit heard this, the attack became even more rapid, making the two of them tired of parrying.

Princess Minhui was skeptical, and it was not impossible to think of what she had seen before. Out of caution, he took out a male Gu worm and put it in the door, which was immediately bounced out and fell to the ground and died. took another female Gu out, only to see that female Gu quickly passed through the gate and was safe and sound.

Seeing this, Minhui was overjoyed, and slowly put her hand close to the door, seeing that it was really fine, she had the courage to enter the tower.

The first floor of this tower is an empty lobby with an unobstructed view. Further up, several floors are equipped according to people's lives. It's like an ordinary mansion, but instead of extending horizontally or vertically, it's built upward. Generally, the tower is built for pagodas and temples or for tourists to view the scenery, and it is used to live, but there is none.

When she reached the eighth floor, Minhye felt that there was a barrier at the exit, and she was cut off from it.
