Chapter 129: The Secret Passage of the Ancient City
The two gates that entered the inner city were heavily guarded, and they would have been closed in wartime, and to take the city meant to capture the three interlocking walls, but now these gates were temporarily open because of the mobilization of troops, and all the people who came in and out of it were well-trained soldiers.
I followed Yinyue all the way unhindered and unchecked, until I entered the last gate, a magnificent and huge ancient city appeared in front of me under the embellishment of thousands of lights, the bluestone steps were simple and quiet, and the ancient city I knew was no different, but this ancient city was probably the largest I had ever seen.
Maybe it's because of the war, there aren't many residents in the city to move around, all I see along the way are patrolling armor, I don't know why Yinyue brought me here, but it hasn't stopped all the way except looking back at me and signaling to keep up, the roads in the city are complicated, but I feel that it's familiar with the road, and I have long lost my sense of orientation when I go around behind it, but I vaguely feel that it is taking me to the deepest part of the ancient city.
When I walked out of a long undulating street, where the silver moon stopped, I was completely struck by what I saw, a crescent moon crossed the delicate corner tower, casting a hazy yellow light on the high walls, and then I saw a palace of golden splendor, majestic and magnificent, and the golden glazed tile and heavy eaves of the palace appeared to shine in the moonlight.
The huge golden gate of the palace was closed, and there were layers of heavy soldiers standing outside, and the guards here were obviously much stricter, and it seemed that no one was allowed to approach, and the silver moon squatted at the end of the long street and stared at the palace for a long time, and I gradually realized that the purpose of bringing me here was probably the golden palace in front of me.
But we can't enter the palace with great fanfare, not to mention that we are not familiar with the ancient demon world, and now there is war in this city, I am afraid that the slightest change will attract the attention of the soldiers, and the top priority is to find the lost others first.
I patted Silver Moon on the back and it was best to get out of here before the armor defending the city found us, Silver Moon seemed to really understand my words, and no longer stayed up and walked in the opposite direction, I followed Silver Moon's long shadow in the moonlight, and gradually realized that it was not taking me out, but should be going to another place, this ancient city was too large, and soon I was lost in the intricate streets.
Until Silver Moon stopped at a secluded corner, which was so inaccessible that under the moonlight I saw an unknown towering tree in the corner of the wall, and under the shade of the tree there was an ancient well that should have been abandoned for a long time.
I looked at the well water blankly, completely unaware of the purpose of Bai Yinyue bringing me here, I saw Yin Yue staring at the well intently, very curious about what it was looking at, I squatted on the side of the well and buried my head lower, with the help of the moonlight for a long time without seeing the clue.
"There are ...... here"
Poof!
Before I finished speaking, Yinyue actually raised his front paws from behind me and pushed me down, the sudden change caught me unexpectedly, fell into the deep well water and wanted to swim to the surface, I saw Yinyue also jumped in, with the front paws to hold my body all the way down, I was surprised in my heart Yinyue has always been docile and obedient will not be like this, I was at a loss when I suddenly saw that there was an open channel in the deepest part of the well water, and the water flowed into the well from that channel, Silver Moon was the first to swim into the passage, still looking back at me not far away, and I understood that it meant to let me follow it.
I am more and more surprised how Yinyue knew that there would be such an ancient city in this demon world that no one had ever been to before, it could be found accurately in the barren mountains and mountains, and I don't think anyone would know about the secret passage in the deserted ancient well in this city, but a fox actually knew everything here.
It's a pity that Yinyue can't speak, otherwise I really have to ask clearly, but it is impossible to climb up the slippery wall of the well underground, so I had to follow Yinyue to swim to the depths of the channel, there is no end to the waterway in front of me, I can no longer hold my breath, and what is more troublesome is that I can no longer see Yinyue leading the way in front of me.
I suddenly began to panic a little, just when I had my last breath left, I suddenly felt the back collar being lifted and dragged me out of the water, I took a long deep breath and wiped a handful of water from my face, and found Silver Moon standing on the steps next to me, this waterway led us to an unknown dark passage, I climbed up the steps in the long water and panted for breath.
"In the end...... What the hell do you want to take me there...... Where to go? I gasped and asked Yinyue exhausted, not expecting it to understand, but I really couldn't find anyone to talk to.
Yinyue shook the water stains on his body and walked up the steps again, the blood-red eyes on the high place looked at me resolutely, I wiped the water on my face again, sighed weakly, and couldn't go back anyway, so I had to follow Yinyue hard.
This step leads us to a secret passage, which is covered with dust, and every step up can leave clear footprints, presumably this secret passage has been many people who have not been here, I am even more puzzled by how a fox who has been following Wen Zhuo knows such a hidden secret passage.
At the end of the dark passage, there are several steps, Yinyue stood on the steps with her head on it, and then looked back at me, and kept repeating this action I suddenly realized that it was for me to go over to help, I stood on the steps and found that there was a stone slab above my head, and it was possible to move it if I lifted it hard, I carefully moved the stone slab above my head slowly, and a trace of light shone into the dark passage, presumably this is the exit of the dark passage, I took a deep breath and slowly feared it, this is actually a room.
But I am afraid that I have ever seen the most luxurious and splendid room, in this spacious room everywhere in the splendor of gold and jade, I looked around blankly, the large bed with the red curtain, and the gorgeous dressing table inlaid with gold and jade, this is clearly a woman's boudoir.
Looking at the room, Chen imagined that the owner who lived here was extremely noble, but the room was empty, and I didn't see anyone, and I was secretly glad in my heart, if I appeared in a woman's boudoir in the middle of the night, I would have a thousand mouths, and I would not be able to tell.
Yinyue walked to the door and scratched the door with her front paws, and looked back at me, it was signaling me to open the door, when I walked over and opened the door, I was stunned at the moment, and looked outside the house to see the high-rise buildings and heavy eaves of the palace, this was the magnificent and splendid palace that I and Yinyue saw before.
It's just that now we are in this palace, Yinyue actually took me around the guards and the high wall, the passage actually leads to the inside of this palace, this should be the deepest part of the palace must be the safest place in the whole city, we walked outside the house and did not see a guard patrol, Yinyue took me as far as possible from the shadows of the trees under the moon, until I stopped in front of a brightly lit palace, this is the largest hall in the whole palace, Yinyue arched the closed temple door with her head, I looked around and carefully pushed open the huge hall door.
Crunch!
The sound of the door of the temple being opened is clear in the silent night, I am afraid that this sound will alarm the guards' armor, but Yinyue doesn't seem to care at all, and when the door is pushed open, it jumps in quickly, until now I still don't know the purpose of Baiyinyue bringing me here, and I have to follow behind me when I see it entering.
The bright lights illuminated this magnificent and huge palace, which reminded me of the Jinluan Palace I had seen in the Forbidden City, but this palace in front of me was far more grand and majestic than the Jinluan Palace, the huge pillars had to be hugged by several people, each pillar was made of pure gold, but the ground was paved with white jade, such a luxurious palace that I was inexplicably shocked when I stood inside.
Walking forward, I found that on the courtyard in the middle of the palace, there is a lifelike white fox carved, how to look at this place looks like a palace, but in my memory, the palace generally admires dragons and phoenixes and other patterns, but this palace seems to worship foxes, and those golden pillars are also engraved with fox patterns.
I looked at the silver moon with some doubts, and then slowly looked up at the white fox carved on the patio, and slowly felt how it was so similar to the silver moon.
Silver Moon kept going, and on the innermost high platform of the golden palace was a majestic and solemn golden throne, which I think should be the seat of the lord of the city, and like the other decorations in this palace, even the throne is inscribed with the pattern of a fox, and the armrests of the throne are each two imposing foxes, and Silver Moon arches the left armrest with her head.
Click!
I heard a crisp sound, followed by the sound of something triggering from beneath the palace where I was now standing, and the sound grew louder and louder and I became nervous, and the sound would definitely be detected by the soldiers patrolling outside.
When I was panicking, the palace white jade ground at the bottom of my feet slowly parted, and I quickly retreated to the side and looked at the separated ground blankly, and something shining golden gradually rose from the circular hollow.
When the thing was fully presented to me, I was stunned by the light, and it was a huge golden statue, dressed in double long robes and colored armor, with long trousers and feet with square feet and pointed shoes, and a dark purple crown of double bulbulks on the top, an orange crown tied under the jaw in a figure-eight knot, and a sword under the flank.
This outfit is completely incompatible with the armor I saw in this city before, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a majestic general, but when you look at it, the clothes are the clothes of the Qin Dynasty......
I was stunned and then slowly opened, looking at Yinyue in shock, I finally understood why it brought me here, the corners of my mouth squirmed and said in surprise.
"Could it be...... This, this is one of the twelve golden men! ”
