Volume 3 The Present of the Dragons Chapter 102 Into the City
The strange thing is that all of us are inexplicably not only the actions, but even the words are irrepressibly lightened, at first I thought it was my own psychology, but gradually I found that it was not like that, but there seemed to be an invisible pressure that forced us not to disturb the peace here. However, what is even more strange is that the anger on us people quickly disappeared as we got closer and closer to the city gate, and we became willing to bear the invisible pressure and obediently obey the wishes of the city.
The closed wooden gate is still very well preserved after many years. Kuroko's palm lightly covered the wooden door, and the sound of opening with a 'squeak' startled the birds on the eaves to flap their wings in panic and look sideways at us.
As the gap opened became bigger and bigger, the true face of the city inside the city appeared in front of everyone's eyes little by little, and the streets lined up were empty at the moment, but I seemed to be able to live a leisurely life with happy smiles on their faces, and everything was like a rapid drama, which did not exist but really flashed in front of me.
I could even see a happy couple leading their children, humming an unintelligible song and trotting to the castle lord's building. And the city lord on top of the tall building is greeting with a pleasant face.
I have to admit that even though I know that what I see is all false, I can't help but sigh: It's really beautiful.
After a while, the wooden door was fully opened, and an alluring light and elegant fragrance that should not exist in the world at all came, a bit like the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, but after smelling it carefully, I felt that it was not. But it didn't matter, because we were already fluctuating our nostrils greedily as we asked about the scent. I'm afraid it's going to disappear.
The fragrance seemed to become a tangible thing, wafting into everyone's nostrils one by one, and then slowly passing through the throat and pouring into the whole body. And as they enter the body, an unstoppable sense of coolness and comfort hits as if they have climbed to the top of happiness. I only wish this moment would never end, I just want to wander in this indescribable pleasure. Even if you are alone, you must live your life quietly.
In an instant, the rare happy pictures from childhood to adulthood to more than 20 years quickly flashed in front of me frame by frame, which accelerated the joy.
However, the good times are always unkept, and as the strange fragrance disappears little by little, we are forced to return to reality.
Kuroko looked at the empty city in a daze, and for a while he didn't know where to put his feet. In fact, we didn't know where to go, or even why we entered the city.
Until Pang Qinghe spoke: "If this is the Witch Country." The rumored place of Kaiding Alchemy, should we be the first to go. After all, my mother ......."
She has always kept silent about Pang Sanniang, but after all, blood is thicker than water, no matter how much hatred and resentment, the family should stick to it after all. At this moment, our group is in a deep mountain more than 2,000 kilometers away from Beiping City, and Pang Sanniang, who could not be rescued, is unknown whether he is alive or dead, no wonder Pang Qinghe is worried.
Hearing this, Xiu'er reached out and gently touched Pang Qinghe's arm. whispered, "Don't worry, wait for us to return to Beiping City." and rescue your mother. ”
The fat man rubbed his shoulders with a painful face, probably because he had stuffed too much gold into his backpack, and now he gradually couldn't stand it anymore, "No matter where you go, hurry up, my shoulders are about to be wasted." ”
The big head nodded, "It looks like this city has been abandoned. However, no one knows where the place of alchemy is, and at this moment they can only look for it separately, smokers, and give each person a piece of gunpowder. Use when you find a place or in an emergency. ”
When the distribution was complete, the eleven of us immediately scattered and rushed out, but fortunately, the area of this city was not large, and according to the houses we saw, it could only accommodate five or six hundred people at most, and it was estimated that it was only a miniature city. According to what I learned before, the Wu Kingdom was already not prosperous, and I am afraid that even if it has the ability to build a larger city, it is not necessary.
The city's streets are exceptionally neat and well-organized, and it can be said that the main road leads to Rome. Only here is that a path leads to the central castle building, and then a complete circular path is formed in front of the house of the Sifang Guardian Family, from where you can go around to reach the rear.
It doesn't take much time to walk, in fact, in the process of walking, I can see a few of them flashing by from time to time.
"It's a spectacular, but too small city."
After a while, I arrived at a house that guarded the family, and when I looked to the left and right, several people had already arrived, and the big head and the smoker smiled at me, spreading their hands to show that they had not gained anything. It wasn't until there was a gunpowder explosion directly behind the house in front of me that everyone hurried to it.
When we gathered to the place where the voice came from, and looked at the pattern on the door that displayed the identity totem style, Xiu'er and I could recognize what it was: Xuanwu.
Datou realized this, and said as if expected, "It's not strange that Danding is here. The literature records that Xuanwu is also known as Xuanming, the turtle and snake are combined, it is the god of water, lives in the North Sea, the turtle has a long life, Xuanwu is a symbol of immortality, and the underworld is also in the north, so it is the god of the north. The green dragon and the white tiger are in the four directions, the Vermilion Bird Xuanwu is yin and yang, and the Xuanwu can ask divination through the underworld, so Xuanwu is different from the other three spirits, known as the "Zhenwu Emperor", is the god of Taoism. Xuanwu itself represents immortality, so it is only common sense to open alchemy in its mansion. And you see, obviously, Xuanwu Mansion is much bigger than the other three mansions, and it obviously has a higher status, which can be said to be only under the city lord. ”
The strange thing is that those of us, excluding the two Zhang brothers, can be said to have no interest in any bullshit immortality, so we can't talk about any excitement when we find out this fact at this moment. And when I looked at Zhang Wei and Zhang Yao, I saw that they were the same as us, and even worse, and I felt that they were both bored and fell asleep.
Heizi stepped on the nine-story stone steps, arrived at the door of the Xuanwu Mansion, and stretched out his hand to push open the tightly closed wooden door, but as soon as the palm of his hand fell on the doorknob, he found that the tomb door was actually hidden, and it had been opened without force at all.
In an instant, Heizi was a little stunned, and immediately thought that since we could find this place, Pang Tianhui must have been here back then, and this door should have been opened by him.
Pang Qinghe realized this problem, and hurriedly ran to the side of the sunspot, and strode into the mansion with him, and our group slowly stepped across the door of the house, and walked through a small path that was not long or short, and the inverted seats on both sides of the path had no traces of being opened, but it may also be because after more than ten years, the previous footprints have been consumed by time. The smoker and the monkey quickly went to check it out, and when they came back and shook their heads, they said that there was really nothing worth noting. (To be continued......)
