Chapter 265: Escape
As night fell, looking at the bright galaxy above the dome, everyone was a little stunned, not knowing what technology the people who built this ancient tomb used to imitate the sky in the dark underground cave.
The starry sky is bright*** The sky outside is brighter.
This creates the illusion that this is in a cave or in another plane?
"Guest, do you want to eat?" A sudden voice startled everyone, whose voice is this? Is there anyone else underground?
Everyone froze and looked in the direction where the sound came from, and as soon as they glanced around, they were all dumbfounded, and the terracotta figurines all over the city were gone, replaced by big living people.
The ancient city is bustling with activity, the lights are lit up everywhere, and the whole city comes to life.
"This, what the hell is going on!" Looking at the bustling crowd on the street, Lin Wei felt that their brain capacity was not large enough, obviously they were terracotta figurines, why did they all come to life at night?
"I see." Zilan suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone looked at Zilan.
"This is the story of Sleeping Beauty." Zilan said.
The fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty, everyone has seen, it is about a princess in a castle who was stabbed with a spindle at the age of sixteen because she was cursed by a witch and died, and another witch cast a spell to make the princess sleep, and the whole city also turned into stone statues and fell asleep, knowing that a hundred years later, I thought that the prince came to the castle and kissed the princess, so that the princess and the whole city woke up.
Watching all those terracotta figurines come back to life is indeed very similar to the story of Sleeping Beauty, but how can the terracotta figurines really be resurrected?
"Guest, do you want to eat?" Xiao Er in front of the store repeated again, as if he was not surprised by Lin Wei's outfits.
After making sure that the other party was talking to them, Lin Wei and the others looked at each other and decided to go in and sit down to understand the situation.
Under the guidance of Xiao Er, Lin Wei and the others found a room by the street to sit down, where there was a large window facing the street, and everything outside could be seen.
After inviting the guests into the room, the shopkeeper was about to leave when he was stopped by Lin Wei.
"Guest officer, what else do you have to order?" The shopkeeper asked with a respectful smile.
"Don't you think it's strange to see us dressed like this?" Lin Wei asked.
The shopkeeper smiled heartily, "The dress of the guest officer is the same as the dress of the legendary immortal family, compared to the guest officer, they are also immortal, right?" ”
Immortals? When Lin Wei and these people heard someone talking about the immortal family again in the underground cave, in the ancient city of memory in this fantasy world, their heads suddenly buzzed, this Xiao Er said that they were dressed the same as the immortal family, that is to say, the immortal family in their eyes was the same person as them, thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, could they really have been here?
"Xiao Er, I still want to ask, are you cursed?" Zilan asked again.
"Cursed? The guest officer laughed. We are all fine, how can we be cursed? The shopkeeper said.
"Since you are not cursed, why do you still say that terracotta figurines are alive at night?" Zilan asked.
"Daytime?" There was a hint of nostalgia on the shopkeeper's face, "We haven't seen daylight for a long time. Then he smiled again and said, "However, we did not become terracotta figurines during the day, but just fell asleep." ”
"Sleep?" Lin Wei and the others looked at each other and thought it was strange, these people didn't seem to know that they had turned into terracotta figurines during the day.
"Then why don't you work during the day and sleep at night?" Lin Wei asked again.
"This has to start from when the immortal family descended on our big man." The shopkeeper said excitedly, and directly took a stool and sat down.
Seeing that the shopkeeper said about the fairy family again, everyone was also interested, and sat closer around the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper took a tea bowl to a bowl of cold water, took a sip and said: "When Emperor Zhao died, because there were no heirs, the minister Huo Guang and the queen mother supported the registration of the king of Changyi, who knew that the new emperor was registered not long after, but Huo Guang launched a mutiny and wanted to abolish the new emperor, at that time, Huo Guang led his army to surround the palace, and the palace guards swore to protect the new emperor, but after all, the disparity in strength, the dead and wounded of the guards, seeing that the new emperor's throne was not guaranteed, but what Huo Guang didn't know was that the new emperor was the true son of heaven, How can those thieves who are chaotic move, at this time, the sky is full of light shrouded the palace, and twelve immortals appeared in the glow, these immortals took one as a thousand, and killed those rebels without leaving a piece of armor, and the traitor Huo Guang was also beheaded. It is said that the immortal family said that the new emperor was descended from the Donghua Emperor of the immortal world, and the twelve immortals came to protect him. ”
The shopkeeper kept talking, and the situation was like a storyteller, and he told the news he had obtained from all sources in front of Lin Wei and them in a frenzy while maintaining the basic correctness.
After listening to the narration of the shopkeeper, the hearts of the people turned up again, although the narration of the shopkeeper is a little different from their memories in the illusion, but the overall outline is the same, that is to say, those memories really happened in this underground city, but it was just an illusion, not a crossing, how could it have happened?
The mystery in everyone's hearts is getting heavier and heavier.
"Those twelve immortals did not return to Heaven after saving the new emperor, they stayed here, and it is said that they wanted to protect the new emperor until he was ranked in the immortal class after the tribulation in the world." The shopkeeper took a sip of cold water, moistened his throat, and continued to speak: "The twelve immortals lived in the imperial city as mortals, and the new emperor gave the twelve immortals their respective officials, and they married wives and had children, and they lived for more than thirty years, but in the end, for some reason, the twelve immortals offended the emperor for some reason, and the emperor wanted to behead the twelve immortals." ”
"The emperor dares to kill even immortals?" Zilan interjected.
"That is, I don't know what evil the emperor has fallen into, maybe he thinks that he is the emperor of Donghua, and his status in the immortal world is many times higher than that of the twelve immortals, so he is not afraid, and insists on killing the twelve immortals. Who knew that on the day of the execution, the wind and rain were blowing, the lightning and thunder were roaring, and eleven of the twelve immortals disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, and in the end only one immortal was killed. But how can we mortals kill immortals? As soon as the immortal died, the heavenly court was furious, and the entire imperial city was shrouded in black fog, and a voice was heard in the black fog saying, "When the night comes, the immortal king will come out." ”
"What! Night falls, and the eternal king rises! Hearing the shopkeeper say these words, Qu Jing, Liu Qili, Danyang and Zilan were all shocked and stood up at the same time!
