Chapter 236: Building the Altar

There is a circular field at the black and white boundary in the middle of the road, surrounded by a circular wall more than one meter high built by stones, and not far away is the palace gate of the underworld is heavily guarded on both sides, and only the words imperial city can be vaguely seen.

Yu Tong said that the wall is the sunset hole, and now it is a good time to observe the sun's position at a geometric angle to the hole. When they heard this, they ran over and crawled outside the parapet wall cautiously poking their heads down to look down.

This sunset cave is a circular with a diameter of more than two meters, and you can't see anything clearly in the black dong below, you can only see the sunlight disappearing mysteriously after entering, leaving people with endless reverie.

"Is this big hole solar going in?"

With suspicion, Yang Xin picked up a small stone on the ground and threw it in, and then the stone disappeared without a sound, and she didn't know where it went.

Yu Tong smiled: "If you can go in later, you'll know, now you can be optimistic about your feet, don't fall down first, I don't dare to guarantee that you can live." ”

"What are you guys doing?"

A slender general, wearing black armor and a belt and a sword, with several guards armed with spears and armor behind him, stopped and asked.

Yu Tong greeted him, took off his waist card and said, "General, we are from Qimen." ”

He took it in his hand and looked at it, then returned it and said: "Now my emperor is ordered by heaven to build a sacrificial pool, and all the passers-by belong to the people of Sunset City, and both men and women must contribute for three days." Let's go, work with us! ”

Yu Tong exclaimed: "Huh? I didn't hear about it when I came in the morning. ”

Bazi laughed and said, "You didn't see me in the morning." ”

Yu Tong gave Yang Xin a look again and again, Yang Xin ran over with an idea, and bowed deeply: "Official, you see how many of us weak women can build an altar, I'm afraid that if we go, we can only cause chaos for you......"

Without waiting for Yang Xin to finish speaking, Bazihu said: "Weak women can help boil water for cooking, young and strong men can help resist stone transportation, and the old, weak, sick and disabled also have their own arrangements, if you want to be lazy, then we will throw you into the sunset hole." ”

"Don't, the general has something to say, we can't go!"

Yu Tong hurriedly stopped the mustache, and then several people followed the pace of the guards to the gate of the imperial city less than 100 meters away from here, and this time He Chengcheng saw the appearance of the imperial city clearly in the dark night.

The walls of the palace are red, the roof tiles are blue-black, and the cascading buildings are gradually covered by the thick night. He Tingcheng knew that what he saw was only a small part of the Imperial City, because it was said that the area of Yin City was the same as that of Yang City.

"Hey, don't look around, you know? You two are waiting for me here, you two come with me. Bazihu reminded.

A few people stopped, Yu Tong pointed at He Tingcheng and then pointed at himself: "General, why me and him?" ”

Bazihu glanced at her and said, "All young and strong men need to go to the construction site to transport stones, and all women only go to the station to boil water and cook, so is there any point in letting you transport stones?" ”

"I ..... I...... I"

Yu Tong looked down at his clothes and wanted to say that he was a woman dressed as a man, but when he saw the stupid and stupid He Tingcheng, he didn't worry about going by himself, so he finally held back a few words: "I'm thin and weak, but I can move it for you!" ”

"If you can't move it, you can carry it, if you can't carry it, you can carry it, what can't you carry forty or fifty pounds of stones? To tell you the truth, anyone who finds various reasons to refuse to participate in labor will be immediately decided! The mustache was impatient, and he drew his sword in protest with a "swish".

Su Yan stepped forward to stop: "Don't, why don't you, why don't you let me take her?" I have a lot of strength! ”

Bazihu glanced at Su Yan very pleased, put away the saber and said: "Look at the fact that every girl in the family has a heart of fists and fists, and do her best, what do you have to twist and pinch as a big man?" Walk! Otherwise, it will be decided! ”

"I ..... I ....."

Yu Tong was a little aggrieved, and suddenly saw He Tingcheng, who was grinning and snickering on the side, angry, and stomped his feet: "Just go, what is the murder?" ”

The two were taken to the "jingling" construction site, where 1,800 people carried various tools to perform their duties. Some are holding shovels and turning mud, some are loading and unloading stones, and some are holding mud knives and standing on towering shelves to shovel mud and rocks.

"Here's your cart, just carry the rocks down this slope to the right place above." Eight-character nonsense.

This car is a wheelbarrow flat car, each car can be loaded with four rectangular bluestones, and then one person in the back of the palm and one person in front of the rope traction, the slope is not too steep and not too high, so there is no particularly high difficulty.

He Tingcheng was also neat, pushed up the cart and said, "Let's go?" ”

Yu Tong knew that it was pointless to argue at this time, and he only regretted why he had such a set of clothes at that time. However, when Yu Tong remembered Tian's blind man's entrustment, he didn't think so anymore, and He Chengcheng glanced at him and said, "Me! It's eight lifetimes of bad luck when I met you! ”

He Qingcheng didn't have a very good impression of her, and said unhappily: "I'm the same!" ”

"Hmph." Yu Tong looked to the side.

When he arrived at the position, He Qingcheng put the car flat and began to move the stones on the ground, Yu Tong didn't mean to take a hand, but he didn't escape the eyes of the mustache: "Hey, what about you, lazy or what?" ”

Yu Tong turned around and glared at the mustache, and began to bend down to move the stone, but the sharp and rough stone was not something she could get up by herself at all, but she didn't give up because she didn't want to admit defeat......

"I'd better come, you can pull the car for me." He Chengcheng's voice.

"Hmph, no."

Yu Tong turned around and tried to change it again, but the situation was still the same, and in the end she had to find someone standing in front of He Tingcheng and say, "Let's carry it together, so as not to say that I take advantage of you!" ”

He Chengcheng raised his head and said, "Okay, then we can hurry up and contribute more to this project!" ”

"The young man is right, go home early after drying, we have a number of stones to transport this day, and if we can't complete the number, we can only continue to work for days." Bazi Hu praised.

"Hypocrisy!" Yu Tong muttered quietly.

Then the two worked together to lift the fourth stone, He Qingcheng supported it, and Yu Tong picked up the hemp rope on the ground and put it on his shoulder to pull it. The wheelbarrow of the little wheelbarrow spun hard under the combined efforts of the two of them, and made a squeaky sound.

After a while, the two of them went up the slope to the construction position, and lifted the bluestones on the car one by one, He Tingcheng couldn't help but ask: "When will such a platform like Uncle be built?" ”

The fat uncle who was building the wall wiped the sweat on his face and said: "This platform is 99 meters high, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom similar to a pyramid, and the top is completed within a year, and now it has been completed for the most part." After a few days, you can shovel the soil and dismantle the frame, which should not take more than a month. ”

"Oh." He Qingcheng pushed the cart and turned back. Take a hundred plating on the latest chapter of "Yin Niangzi Claw Book House" to read it for free for the first time.
