Chapter 566: Early Morning in the Ancient City

The layout of the city of Jaipur is divided into two districts, the old and the new, and last night the team lived in the old city near the edge of the new city, which was later expanded.

Today, the route that everyone visits is the Old Town.

The old town is rectangular in shape and divided into six districts, with wide and straight streets. The biggest feature of Jaipur is its pink color, and the streets of Jaipur are surrounded by neatly arranged buildings.

Pink walls, pink windows, pink domes, even street shops, stalls, and even toilets are painted pink.

The car drove to a temple, and under the golden red morning light, the prosperity of a city seemed to be concentrated here. Unlike other ancient cities, Jaipur has good urban planning and straight and wide streets, making it one of the most beautiful cities in India. Even in the last days, it still looks refreshing, without that dilapidated feeling.

The car continued to drive forward to an intersection, where they encountered a white mutant mother/pig leading a group of pink piglets to compete with several chickens by the garbage heap, and the mutant chickens had pecked the skin of several of the piglets with their pointed beaks.

Seeing this, Xuan Yu'er ran to the front and asked Su Yuantong, who was driving, to stop: "Uncle Su, let me go down." "Regardless of the hindrance of others, I just ran down there and drove away the mutated chickens.

When Xuan Yu'er came up, Tian Xinyu shook her head and said a few words, and Xuan Yu'er thought that these mutated chickens were edible, and they should be caught and used for cooking at night, but they were all driven away, and they were no longer entangled, not to mention that there were still a lot of chickens in Su Man's space.

Speaking of chickens, the eggs that Xiao Tian got back last time, Su Man tried to let the hens in the space hatch, but he didn't expect that they could hatch chicks like ordinary eggs. It's just that I don't know why Xiao Tiantian's space vegetable garden can't.

Jaipur is a zoo where mutated peacocks, rhesus macaques, pigs and chickens were encountered, and then mutated camels were encountered in the middle of the street.

This is not the first camel that everyone has encountered. In the past, whether it was a mutant camel or a zombie camel, everyone had encountered it, but compared to the mutant animals encountered before, the mutant animals here were too "docile".

These camels stretched their long necks and walked past everyone's car three times by step, but none of them attacked the team's car, and everyone in the team had used their strange abilities to prepare for defense. But I didn't expect those mutated camels to run over so leisurely. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair"

The old city is mostly old buildings, and the city walls surround the old city, and it is said that there are a total of seven gates. Every street leads to the City Palace, as well as many ancient and gorgeous buildings such as the Amber Fort, the Tiger Castle, and the Palace of the Winds.

Soon, the crowd followed the straight road to the City Palace, located in the heart of the old city and one of the best-preserved monuments in India.

According to the collected profiles, the royal palace was built by the city-state of Rajasthan after it submitted to the Mughal Empire. The Royal Palace consists of several palaces. There are as many as 8 gates alone, and the buildings are very luxurious, occupying almost a quarter of the area of the old town.

The crowd approached the City Palace. The entire main hall is made of marble, and there is a large dumb elephant made of marble on each side of the palace gate. Parts of the palace were converted into museums. There was the largest silver bottle in the world, but in the words of Xiaosha after the investigation, it was just a super-large silver, nothing special. But in Su Man's space, jade can nourish each other with mountain spring water, and silver can be conducive to purification, so Su Man also politely broke the periphery of the protective oversized silver bottle and put the silver bottle into the space.

Coming out of the city palace, everyone walked according to the tour drawings. Head to the Palace of the Winds, which is closest to here.

It is an ancient building in pure Indian style, and it stands on the street. It is a pink semi-circular five-story building, with round arched towers at the top, which are connected to each other, like cute hills. The faΓ§ade has numerous openwork octagonal windows carved out of red sandstone, resembling a beehive. The arched lintels are carved with a variety of patterns. It looks very beautiful.

According to legend, it was used by ancient queens/concubines to overlook the whole city. From here, you can see the whole city, full of pink buildings and straight streets.

Although there was still no energy source for Su Man and the others to look for, this kind of scenery made the team feel a little lingering.

"Where are we going next?" Coming out of the Palace of the Wind, Xuan Yu'er couldn't wait to go to the next place and asked Wan Haoqi one after another.

Wan Haoqi looked at the picture in his hand and replied: "Go to a place called Tiger Fort, it is said that it is a place called 'City of Victory', I don't know if there is anything special." ”

"Let's go, then."

Xuan Yu'er pulled Wan Haoqi to the car parked below by the team, but before she could get to the car, a mutated Ganges macaque jumped over, and while Xuan Yu'er and Wan Haoqi were not paying attention, they pulled Xuan Yu'er's backpack and ran.

"Yikes!" An exclamation.

Xuan Yu'er didn't react for a while, but when she understood what was going on, she immediately chased after the Ganges macaque: "You dead monkey, return the backpack to me." ”

Su Man was worried that Xuan Yu'er would suffer a loss if she went by herself, so she hurriedly followed and chased in the direction where Xuan Yu'er ran.

When he caught up with Xuan Yu'er, the mutated Ganges macaque had already burned half of his hair with Xuan Yu'er's fire, and he was grinning at Xuan Yu'er.

"Yu'er, if you catch something, go back quickly." Su Man saw that Xuan Yu'er seemed to be angry with that monkey, and hurriedly persuaded.

It's just that before Xuan Yu'er could reply, a group of Ganges macaques suddenly poured out around her, although Su Man was not afraid of these monkeys, but so many were also troublesome, so he hurriedly pulled Xuan Yu'er and quickly ran back to the front of the car.

"Get in the car and drive out of here." Before the people arrived, Su Man shouted to everyone in advance.

Seeing that Su Man and Xuan Yuer were running in a hurry, everyone didn't talk nonsense, quickly got into the car, the car started, and as soon as Xuan Yuer and Su Man got in the car, the car immediately drove away. Only a group of noisy monkeys were left behind them, screaming in discontent.

Wan Haoqi looked at the two people funny: "Didn't you two go to chase bags?" How did you stab the monkey's nest? ”

"Who knew the monkey had an accomplice?" Xuan Yu'er muttered back.

Su Man laughed: "Who told you to burn other people's clothes, I want to chase you for reputation damage." ”

"What clothes?" Wan Haoqi looked at Su Man puzzled.

Then Su Man told him that when he chased after him, Xuan Yu'er burned half of the hair of the monkeys, and everyone laughed.

As the car drove out of the city, everyone came to Tiger Fort, which was known as the "City of Victory". But when they got here and got the introduction, Wan Haoqi and Zhong Tao knew that they had made a mistake.

Tiger Fort is a castle built on a hill with strong military defenses that have repeatedly resisted attacks by foreign invaders. It was the longest cannon in the world at the time, and it was called "the city of victory" because it was basically not lost after its construction.

However, there is another castle that can be seen diagonally below Tiger Fort, which is Amber Fort. Everyone didn't expect that the two castles were so close to each other.

Amber Fort was the capital of the ancient vassal kings of India. Unlike other buildings in the "Pink City", the Amber Fort is made of cream-white, light yellow, rose red and pure white stone, which looks like the color of amber from a distance, hence the name Amber Fort.

After the group came down from Tiger Castle, they came to Amber Fort.

This Amber Fort, once the ancient capital of Jaipur, stands on a hilltop with a moat below and is surrounded by high walls that meander from below.

The castle is surrounded by a ridge that undulates like a python lying on the top of the mountain. In front of the hilltop palace, there is a group of imposing complexes of different styles, echoing each other and complementing each other, while the castle is large and ornate.

But that's not what attracts people, it's the dwellings in this castle that attract people. It's not that the dwellings here are particularly beautiful, but the structure of the dwellings.

From the sketch of the introduction, the ground floor of the castle is divided into twelve houses. It is said that each house had a concubine living here, and twelve separate staircases were built to lead to each concubine's room.

However, the rooms of each concubine were separated by walls and could not communicate with each other, so it was impossible to know which concubine's room the king went to. Even if there is a jealous quarrel, you can only quarrel in the central square. But the king had a good view of the central square from the balcony on the second floor, and if he wanted to behave well in front of the king, he couldn't quarrel at all.

Xuan Yu'er looked at this introduction and asked Su Man with a smile: "Manman, according to this theory." It's okay to have fewer concubines, but if there are too many, won't the king live in the turret? Living in the turret, the circle below is the concubine's room, haha...... It reminds me of prison/prison. The king is the one who oversees the prison break, and he has to line up a searchlight or something. ”

Su Man looked at Xuan Yu'er's happier appearance the more she thought about it, and replied with a smile: "Yu'er, you think too much." Which king have you seen to live in such a place in order to marry a concubine? Isn't that obviously a live target? ”

"Hehe, I think it's true, look at this ......" Everyone walked inside, and Xuan Yu'er told Su Man about the unlikely things that would happen.

The crowd came to the back. There is a very special palace here, and according to the introduction in the tourist guide, this palace should be the "Palace of Mirrors".
