【Chapter 416】Ascend to the top
Right in front of Rowan, on the huge bronze column, the exquisitely carved relief depicted a magnificent scene at this time, but because the relief was too large, Rowan could not see the whole picture from the position he was in now, and could only see some corners and corners.
But these are not what Rowan cares about at this time, because not far above Rowan head, a relief of a soldier holding a similar halberd stands majestically, clinging to the bronze pillar, as if guarding something, and as if guarding something.
Rowan pulled out two bundles of stretched rope from the tattered battle backpack, tied them head to tail, and then pulled out a dagger from the side of the backpack and tied it to the end of the rope, measured the distance, and shook his hand and flew the dagger towards the halberd in the soldier's hand.
Luo Wen didn't have the two blows of the ancestral dragon, and the flying knife shook and went straight to the halberd, but because of the error in the ranging, it fell down with a sound before the halberd came close. Rowan pulled the stretch rope and dragged the dagger back, so many times, and finally the dagger was hung on the halberd, as the dagger kept spinning, the stretch rope wrapped the halberd into a strong knot, Rowan pulled and pulled and found that the stretch rope was solid and strong.
Rowan tied this end of the stretch rope to the seat of a wall brazier, tied the stretch rope straight, and after checking it again, he climbed on the stretch rope, hung upside down along the stretch rope and began to climb towards the bronze pillar.
This is not very difficult for Rowan, this kind of climbing is considered basic training in the institute, and after a while, Rowan stepped on the head of a bronze relief, grabbed the halberd with the other hand, and stood up with the bronze relief.
To say that you are not afraid is false, such a high distance, a life is between the hands and feet, just to say that the pressure in the heart is not small, and the tenacity of the stretch rope itself is high but very thin, causing Rowan to have a lot of pain in his hands now. Rowan was sweating all over his face, and his heart was drumming. While telling yourself that this is about the same as training, you continue to operate with one hand.
At this time, Rowan was almost parallel to the stone ladder he had just gone up to, but the stretch rope was also used, and the battle backpack was basically empty, so it seemed that he couldn't get to the other side anyway, but in fact, Rowan didn't plan to fly over from here from the beginning, and his purpose was not this stone ladder, but higher!
It turned out to be just above Rowan's head, about four or five stories away, and a very clear pedal hung there. On one side is a bronze pillar, and on the other side is a stone staircase, a pedal made of several strips of wood on two very thick ropes! All Rowan has to do now is climb all the way up the bronze pillar from here!
The relief carving on the bronze pillar is very clear, which plays a decisive role in Rowan's climbing, Rowan has not practiced freehand climbing, but still relies on vigorous stretching out his hand to continue to the sting, the patina on the bronze pillar also plays a role in anti-slip, compared to the sweaty Rowan, this patina is like a god-given anti-slip powder.
But the relief of this bronze pillar is not set for climbing. Rowan must decide the angle of his climb according to the trend of this relief, for example, the whole scene is full of soldiers and ministers, so it will be quite easy for Rowan to kick the head and limbs towards the body.
But the whole scene becomes a mountain or a palace pillar, and the patterns will be far apart. It is not conducive to climbing, so Rowan almost spirals around the bronze pillar upward, sometimes clockwise and sometimes counterclockwise.
The climb is desperate, with your back to the stone staircase. I didn't even look at the location, and sometimes I had to make a physical detour to the other side of the bronze pillar in order to get to the top. By the time Rowan finally approached the pedal, Rowan had already begun to shake violently in his limbs.
Rowan finally hooked one foot on the pedal with great effort, and the crunching sound of the two ropes made Rowan very uneasy, but at this point, even if the rope would break, Rowan couldn't care about it, lifted a breath, and slapped his whole body on the pedal, and then the pedal began to tremble from side to side! Rowan tried his best to keep the plank and rope, and waited for a while before finally returning to calm.
Rowan supported the pedal with both hands and knelt up on his knees, but just as he was about to crawl, he heard a clicking sound from the pedal, obviously the pedal was too old, the inside was seriously corroded, and the rope also came with a similar snapping sound!
Luo Wen knew that he couldn't suddenly exert force, so he could only squirm forward on his knees, the pedals were covered with Luo Wen's sweat, Luo Wen didn't even dare to wear the atmosphere, and finally fell to the ground when he thought he couldn't hold on!
Luo Wen's fingers holding the cigarette kept trembling, and his legs kept shaking, and his limbs were still a little fluttering at the moment, and after a cigarette, Luo Wen felt better, and then stood up and continued to march towards it.
As Rowan walked towards the top, Rowan also found that the bronze pillar had changed, the bronze pillar was no longer a relief, but a bare bronze column, obviously it was still not finished here, Rowan did not understand the production method of bronze products, but he estimated that this relief should be forged and found a way to stick to this bronze pillar, and many of the methods of making things by the ancients are incomprehensible to modern people.
The road was quite smooth, and I didn't meet Xing Song again, but the stone stairs under my feet were not so regular, a large number of tools and relief parts were scattered under my feet, and many times I had to jump to pass, and the winch at the break was also destroyed a lot, obviously something had happened here.
With the upward movement, Rowan found that the top of the bronze pillar began to gradually widen, gradually forming a bowl bottom shape, and the bottom of the bowl was extending and expanding in all directions, when Rowan stepped to the highest point, the outside of the bowl bottom was almost close to the stone ladder, and Rowan knew that he had arrived!
As Rowan stepped on the last stone staircase, the edge of the top of the bronze pillar was almost at his feet, and what Rowan showed in front of him was a huge bronze platform!
This bronze platform is almost the same width as the inner wall of this tower, and a light blue sky light above his head is pouring down, obviously Rowan has reached the top of this tower, and the stone staircase under his feet has become the chimney mouth of this tower!
Luo Wen can already see the stars as far as he can see, standing here, the entire ancient city and even the entire world are in full view, Luo Wen knows what is called a leaf obstacle, because this place is much bigger than he imagined, or the place he passed through is not enough in case!
Looking back, the size of the outer city chased by the Luohan baboons just now is simply breathtaking, and the city in the middle is amazingly large.
Look at the bronze platform again. There are three circles of concentric circles on the outer eaves, take a closer look, this pattern is actually a kind of text, non-seal non-oracle bone pictogram, Rowan can't guess the meaning of any of the words, and can't understand how to break the sentence, all are connected from end to end, it looks very good-looking.
Turning inside, Rowan could see a group of neatly arranged bronze statues, with eighteen male figurines. Eighteen maids, eighteen horses, eighteen crosses, and eighteen animals each form a huge circle, and continue to extend like a distance.
But looking inside, Rowan was even more frightened, because on the circumference of a concentric circle inward in the inner circle, there were bronze statues at intervals. It is more than three meters high, finely carved, after many years of patina but does not lose its majesty, a total of eighteen statues. Each one is carved with a demon guard!
If it was just this bronze statue, Rowin wouldn't have cared about it, but the point was that in the arms of this bronze demon, there was still an amber man in his arms! The amber man was almost immersed in the bronze statue. It was hard to separate from each other, and when seen through the gelatinous outer wall, the amber man's heart was still twitching slowly. This thing isn't dead! Then here are the eighteen demon guards who can attack at any time!
One layer inward, corresponding to the eighteen bronze demon guards, are eighteen bronze drums, but these eighteen bronze drums are not on the same line as the bronze demon guards, but just staggered. In the middle of these eighteen bronze drums, a five-meter-high throne stands proudly in the center of the bronze platform!
There are hundreds of birds carved around this throne, the shapes are realistic and the forms are different, densely packed almost completely covering the entire throne, as small as a lark, as big as a golden peng, or fluttering their wings to fly, or bowing their heads to comb their hair, or crying loudly, or looking around for food, and above the flock of birds, directly behind the throne, a peacock with flapping wings and opening the screen like a king in the world is not angry and self-imposing, and it is impressively above the birds, it is really extremely majestic and realistic!
And there is a long ladder under this throne, from the bottom of the throne to the top of the throne, a bronze couch that looks very hard, and on the seat, a completely dehydrated dry corpse sits on the throne very dignified at the moment!
The corpse was now completely unrecognizable, as it was severely dehydrated, its skin was tightly wrapped in bones, its eyes were sunken and its mouth was open, and its hair was completely broken, spread out on the white robe in front of it.
What was striking was that the corpse's head was sewn to its neck, and now it appeared that only the skin was still attached, making it look as if it was looking down at the ground. On each side of the throne there was a dried corpse, one of which was also wearing a robe, but this robe was earthy yellow.
The corpse sat on its knees with its back to Rowan and its hands clasped in front of it, as if it was holding something in its hands. The other is also kneeling on the ground, but judging from the costume, it should be a female corpse, the corpse is very petite, judging from the skin, and she also painted makeup before her death.
Luo Wen's back was cold for no reason, his own corpse was not uncommon, he had basically seen it without any organs, and even the Giant View kind of thing ran with his back ass, but it didn't make him afraid of this time, or he didn't know what he was afraid of!
Bronze figurines, bronze demon guards, amber people, bronze drums, thrones and dried corpses, if ordinary people saw it, their legs would have turned tendons, but for Rowan, it should be commonplace not to say that it is commonplace, but why would it feel different today?
This is an instinct, an instinct to predict danger, sometimes when a person walks at night, he will feel that someone is staring at him, he will feel dangerous, maybe it is not his own delusion, but the psychological deterrence caused by the instinct on the influence of other bioelectricity.
Luo Wen feels this way now, which shows that his own body knows that he is in an unknown danger, but compared to this unknown danger, what worries him more is, where did Xing Song go?
It is said that good spirits are not bad spirits, sometimes people are the most unresistant, as soon as Rowan thought of this, a golden light bloomed in his eyes! (To be continued......)
