Chapter 291: Tower of Babel. God's Gate

Two months later, Lin Luoran came out of the basement again, looked at the porcelain vase in his hand, and was a little satisfied.

To find the Wood Spirit Classics, and also shoulder the task of exploring the spatial teleportation array, Lin Luoran thought about it, and it was probably a merit to make more preparations.

Yang Lisha was already waiting for her to wait quite impatiently, and seeing that Lin Luoran finally had the intention of leaving, this banshee did not go crazy.

Lin Luoran was only going to take Yuan Ye and Xiao Jin to go, but Lin Dad took the initiative to ask to go together, and the little green fox grabbed Lin Luoran's trouser legs, there was no way, and in the end, Li Xi'er was left to take care of the acacia tree that Yang Lisha valued the most, as for Zeng Tian, he was still in the stage of practicing the Five Elements Technique, and it was useless to go, so he was also left behind.

Huang Weijian wanted to go, but Lin Luoran's sentence "You are about to take the high school entrance examination" can make the teenager retreat.

Even so, she took her eldest disciple, with an eagle in her left hand and a fox in her right hand, which was very much like going out on a trip.

Guo Lao is going, the Mu family Xiaoliu is also going, Wen Runlan followed the head of the Wen family, Li Xi'er's master Xi Heng, plus the adventure monks who responded to Lin Luoran on the forum, there are hundreds of people in total, and these people all spontaneously came to Rongcheng to meet, and the two luxury buses couldn't fit it, but fortunately, they were about to take a plane.

The interstellar teleportation array that Yang Lisha said was beyond Lin Luoran's expectations, and it was not in Huaxia.

That's a, uh, somewhere there's something special about the situation.

……

A group of more than 100 people, after several planes, finally arrived in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq.

The high temperatures of late spring and early summer made the young monks look a little embarrassed. This is the middle of May, and it was noon when Lin Luoran arrived in Baghdad with everyone, and it was just a mild weather in the twenties, and the high temperature here reached 35 degrees at noon.

Compared to the rest of the country, which can use cool water to cool down, Baghdad's climate is a good example of the cruel side of the tropical desert climate - dry.

Hearing that the maximum temperature in summer can be as high as 50 degrees Celsius, many monks' faces changed when they heard Lin Luoran finish speaking. The temperature of 50 degrees Celsius, even if they think about it, they feel that the moisture in their bodies will be dried by the strong sunlight, and they really don't know how the locals here survive.

Beneath the yellow sand, there is the most precious energy source of the earth, which is to compete for the black liquid, and Baghdad is still a miserable image of the post-war wounds.

Sectarian conflicts, terrorist attacks, anti-American armed violence continues, explosions, attacks, kidnappings, assassinations, displacement of civilians, deteriorating living conditions day by day, even in this capital city, the high unemployment rate makes many people on the street seem to have nothing to do, these people are staring at the neatly dressed Lin Luoran and his party, if it weren't for the fact that hundreds of people don't look down on it and are not so easy to bully, maybe someone will come up and rob.

The little green fox in Lin Luoran's arms, with a transparent coat without a trace of miscellaneous hair, and the small golden eagle on her shoulder, all added a sense of mystery to the group, so that some people who were not well-intentioned did not dare to offend easily.

The heat is not the most unbearable, and the slightest gust of wind must be accompanied by strong wind and sand.

It was so blown that the monks were eager to get a piece of black cloth and learn from others to wrap their heads.

And dry. Because of dryness, there are fewer clouds and rain, more sunshine, and strong sunlight, also because of dryness, there are no clouds in the sky, and some of the sunlight cannot be blocked, there is no moisture on the ground, and it cannot be evaporated to cool down, and the heat of the sun on the ground is all used to heat the earth and air, Wen Runlan feels like he is in a sauna, spit out a mouthful of sand, and he tugged at Xiao Xiaomu's sleeve on the side:

"Do you bring a lot of water? Uncle Lin had already said the tragedy here, but I didn't believe it yet. ”

Xiao Xiaomu reluctantly opened a pair of eyes and shook the yellow sand on his eyelashes: "Uncle Lin, where are we going now?" ”

Hundreds of meters away, tens of meters closer, there must have been bunkers made of yellow sandbags, and their group of sclossarily dressed yellow men had been questioned five times by heavily armed Iraqi soldiers or police. If it weren't for the clear and transparent luggage that their group carried on the surface, and there were no weapons, Lin Luoran holding that ridiculous flag of the travel agency might not have worked.

Guo Lao was a little excited, and being able to return to this kind of scene made him feel a little nostalgic.

Lin Luoran handed the flag to Yuan Ye and instructed him to lead the team.

"We're going to get to the city."

It can be seen that Yang Lisha also hates such hot weather, her body is wood, and she feels irritable when she lacks water, not to mention such a desert climate, seeing that Lin Luoran turned her head halfway through her words, Yang Lisha said sullenly: "Out of the city to the south, there are more than a hundred miles." ”

Mu Lao and they didn't know Yang Lisha's identity, but they couldn't see through her cultivation, and Lin Luoran listened to her opinions almost all along the way. Lin Luoran was afraid that these old monks would know that Yang Lisha was a demon, and the two sides would not be able to work together in the teleportation array, so they simply pretended to be stupid and did not introduce it.

The Quyi people fell behind the crowd and murmured, "South of Baghdad, is that the Tower of Babel?" ”

The little angry Qingqu became a deserter at a critical moment, and now he is a little out of place, except for the foundation building monk with excellent ear power, and people really hear him muttering to himself.

Lin Luoran squinted his eyes, the place they were going to was the ancient city of Babylon on the east bank of the Euphrates River, and the "Tower of Babel" about 100 kilometers south of Baghdad, the capital of Iraq.

In ancient Babylonian, the word "Babel" means "gate of God."

If it weren't for Yang Lisha really coming, Lin Luoran wouldn't have believed that the legendary Tower of Babel was where the interstellar portal was located.

…………

"Where heaven and earth meet, there is a little green light, and the white dove pulls back an olive branch from here, and when the flood waters reced, all things are reborn. The Tower of Babel stands on the top of a hill overlooking this silent disciple, the sacred tower reaching out to the clouds, the most fertile place in the plains of Mesopotamia, where milk and honey flow in the heavens, a promise from God. On a wonderful moonlit night, when the priests provoke a mystical dance, they hold olive branches to their breasts, and only a tambourine can read their call, and the Tower of Babel stands silently on the top of the mountain, where people take their hands and greet the god of peace......"

It was hot at noon and cold at night, and the monks sat around the campfire, staring at Xiao Xiaomu with their mouths wide open.

Xiao Xiaomu retracted the handheld computer, "Don't look at me, this is what Du Niang said." ”

Wen Runlan yawned: "I thought you were poetic." ”

The barbecue on the bonfire was beef bought from the same Iraqi locals, Guo Lao loved this feeling of eating meat very much, but Chen Yun, who had been an official for a long time, was a little aggrieved.

A group of them, after interrogation, went out of the city, all the way to Babylon City, now on the Euphrates River, the sand and dust here Chen Yun hates, and he can't accept those places that don't take a bath, now sitting on the sand to roast the fire, and a group of people share the barbecue, which reminds Chen Yun of his life as an ordinary member of the special department, and goes around on missions.

When Yang Lisa arrived at the Euphrates River, she left a group of people behind, and she didn't know where to run.

Everyone has some secrets, and Yang Lisha, the green vine demon, is no exception, since she is unwilling to let everyone know the method of opening the interstellar teleportation array, Lin Luoran will not force it.

"Lin Daoyou, how long do we have to wait here?" Chen Yun was the first to express his dissatisfaction, and Lin Luoran and Mu Lao secretly shook their heads. Chen Yun is in charge of a special department, and it stands to reason that there is no shortage of cultivation materials, and he is also in his sixties this year, why has he not seen any signs of foundation building for a long time, his state of mind is really problematic.

The beef was roasted soft and chewy, and Yuan also had good skills, and Lin Luoran deeply felt the benefits of having a disciple to do it for him.

The little green fox lay lazily on the sand and stared at Chen Yun boringly. The more human beings it came into contact with, the more it felt that this female cultivator who took care of it was still good, at least the human in front of him was not as good-tempered as Lin Luoran.

Seeing that Chen Yun was a little reluctant, Lin Luoran sighed: "Minister Chen, allow me to remind you, according to the seniority of the cultivation world, you should call me Senior Sister." ”

In fact, Chen Yun didn't build a foundation, and she could afford to call Lin Luoran "Senior Uncle", thinking that everyone else needed to work together in the teleportation array, Lin Luoran left Chen Yun with a trace of face.

Chen Yun's face turned the color of pig liver, Xi Heng laughed sullenly, he has always been unaccustomed to this official fan, and because Li Xi'er called Lin Luoran Senior Sister, his rank was raised, and he cheekily called "Lin Daoyou", Lin Luoran's attitude was also very good, seeing that Chen Yun was deflated, Xi Heng was naturally in a good mood.

Seeing that no one spoke for him, Chen Yun found it difficult to step down, snorted coldly, and pretended that what happened just now had not happened. The young monks present, even if they were not in a special department now, had been or would enter in the future, and when they saw Chen Yun's performance, they all blushed at Minister Chen's performance. Their minister, how can he deal with the young Uncle Lin, it really makes everyone not know what to say...... The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, but fortunately, a slender figure came from a distance in the light of the fire.

It was Yang Lisha who came back, and Lin Luoran stood up.

Xiao Jin and Xiao Qinghu jumped into Lin Luoran's arms, and the other grabbed her shoulders, and the cooperation was extremely tacit.

Yang Lisha didn't look at anyone else, but nodded to Lin Luoran: "Follow me." There was exhaustion in her tone, Lin Luoran didn't know what a monster had to do to be so tired.

Hurriedly asked everyone to follow, everyone quickly extinguished the bonfire, took the uneaten barbecue, and followed Yang Lisha up the river.

They came to a ruin in the wasteland.

Stone carvings with broken wings, sharp lines are polished to a smooth one by the wind and sand, these ruins that have lost their sense of line still show the old dreams of the past, dusty clay tablets are buried deep in the plains, and cuneiform characters record the glory of this ancient civilization.

Yang Lisha didn't know what mechanism was touched from the ground, a stone platform emerged from the ground, a clear crystal ball exuded glory, at a glance only saw everyone's own reflection, in the middle of it is bright or dark, no one knows.

"I said to start, let's transmit aura to this together, regardless of the five elements, we must spare no effort, if the opening is not successful, we may have to wait for next year."

Yang Lisha looked at the sky, Lin Luoran followed, tonight's celestial phenomenon is really strange, the moon seems to be very close to the earth, like a big disk, it seems that you can catch it by jumping up.

"Ready...... Begin! ”

Red, gold, blue, green, brown, hundreds of thick or thin lines of aura, connected with the crystal ball on the stone platform, intertwined with a brilliant light curtain.

The scene of the convergence of the five elements of aura is dazzlingly beautiful, even if there are differences, Chen Yun still knows the sense of proportion at this time, even he spares no effort, and others have no reason to keep it.

Lin Luoran thought that there might be a tunnel, or something that looked like a magic array, which was in line with the imagination of the interstellar teleportation array. But when she closed her eyes and opened her eyes slightly with a sudden burst of dazzling light, what appeared in front of her was a behemoth suspended in the air, towering into the sky.

…………

At that time, the accents and speeches of all people in the world were the same. They said, "Come, let us build a city and a tower with the top of the tower reaching up to heaven, that we may proclaim our name, that we may not be scattered throughout the earth." ”
