Volume 3 The Appearance of the Dragons Chapter 101 The City in the Sky
I didn't understand what he meant, but I thought that since everyone was going to leave the mountains soon, the two of them had come all the way without any tricks. It is enough for everyone to be safe.
Kuroko, who was the first to rest, got up and walked forward with a suspicious face, I looked up at his back, the soreness in my leg muscles came to me, and I thought that he didn't say anything, so he shouldn't have to get up.
Who would have thought that after a while, when I remembered to see what he was doing, his figure had disappeared. It scared me so much that I didn't say that I was about to leave this place, and that something was wrong.
"Kuroko!" I yelled and screamed, but got no response.
"Not good." I shouted and hurriedly got up, "Big head, fatty, it's time to go." ”
After a few steps, the voice of the sunspot seemed to be half a beat slow, "Wuguo is here!" ”
As soon as Zhang Wei and Zhang Yaofu heard this, their feet sped up, and they rushed out like an arrow from the string as if they were eager to fly. For a moment, the sound of heavy footsteps in the dark passage was endless.
When we arrived, we saw Kuroko standing in the gap of a hidden golden gate, his body motionless with his back to us and said, "I really didn't expect it, I searched for it, and finally found that Wu Guo was in the air all along." ”
I can't wait to pass through the gap, the most intuitive feeling is that the line of sight suddenly opened, in front of me a long bluestone road stretching out from the golden gate, until it leads to a pavilion that seems to be suspended in the air. The vicissitudes of life seem to be slowly overflowing from the pavilion. The endless fog forced me to keep my distance.
The bell sounded, and there was a huge bronze bell on the top floor of the pavilion visible to the naked eye, which was not struck by anyone, but rang spontaneously, but those various birds seemed to have long been accustomed to it, and they did not dodge at all. Instead, they greeted the bells. The excited voice was even louder.
On the long bluestone road, the fleeting rainbow looms, and the overall look looks like a beautiful fairyland, so that people only need to live here at a glance, and no longer leave half a step.
After a short period of shock, Zhang Wei and Zhang Yao took the lead in impatiently taking steps, and we saw this. This is a close second. As soon as my feet stepped into such a path, I felt the closeness of the clouds close at hand, and suddenly it seemed that the soreness in my whole body had been swept away, and my mood was also relaxed.
Xiu'er and Pang Qinghe held hands and walked side by side, stretching out their arms from time to time to touch the rainbow just above their heads, the smoker enjoyed such an environment, and forgot to light the cigarette at the corner of his mouth. The monkey's eyes are wide open, as if they don't want to miss the slightest bit of beauty.
The crowd walked slowly little by little in this manner. Not because of fear, not because of exhaustion. Just because I don't want to miss out on the rare beauty in life because I am in a hurry.
As I got closer, I realized that it was not just a simple multi-storey building as I had seen from a distance, but a cluster of cyan buildings with many houses of different sizes running horizontally and vertically through each other.
The big head stared at it for a long time before he spoke, "Why does it look like a city?" ”
Yes, I was just searching in my head for what words to use to describe this complex, and now I heard the big head mention it. I finally had the answer. Indeed, it is a city, why do you say that? The most apt point to verify this is that directly in front of the large arch where we are now, there is a plaque with incomprehensible words written on it. In fact, even if I can't read that kind of text. You can guess that it is probably written with words like 'East Gate'.
The style of the whole city is biased towards the Tang Dynasty, but some unique features have been added to it. It looks even more dignified and gorgeous. Looking to the side, it is easy to tell that there are four gates in the city, so the building with the highest floor in the center is probably where the lord lives.
If you think about it in this way, the city seems to be distinct. Notice that the highest central floor is the main building, the residence of the lord of the city, and it is clear that it was built with the utmost care. From there, we can barely see three places from our current angle, but I think it's the same on the other side. Descending from the main building, the four buildings that are the second tallest in the four corners should be the second highest status in the city besides the city lord. Further down, divide in turn. Until the end, the height of the large area is the same, and the most ordinary decoration is the accommodation of the city people. It is also worth noting that the guardian deities on each side of the gate are different, such as the huge golden sculpture that looks like a big bird on the castle tower in front of everyone. "The big head is looking up against the sun, and the view is not so clear.
However, when I cast my eyes on Kuroko, I recognized it almost immediately.
"That phoenix in the lava?" I spoke in unison with Kuroko.
"Mosquito, look, the sculpture on the city tower on the left side that looks like a turtle and a snake are entwined, is it the same as the Xuanwu pattern we saw in the belly of the giant beast in Huangshan?" Xiu'er looked at the city tower on the left with a stunned look.
When Kuroko and I heard this, we immediately turned our heads to look, and before we could speak, we heard the big head say, "Xuanwu? Holy, I get it. On the top of the four castle towers are Xuanwu, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, Qinglong, and the legendary four guardian beasts. No way! What is the identity of this witch kingdom? ”
I have still heard of the names of the four guardian beasts, and at this moment, I see that the big head clearly pointed it out, plus the question in my heart about how this aerial city was established. I couldn't help but be as surprised as him, but my head unconsciously turned to Zhang Wei, and the words came out of my mouth almost without thinking, "Zhang Wei, didn't you say that the Wu Kingdom was founded by a group of descendants who split off from the Golden Country?" How do I think they seem more powerful and mysterious than the El Dorado? ”
When the two brothers Zhang Wei and Zhang Yao heard the names of the four divine beasts, their faces were already full of shock and doubt, and at this moment, when my words came out, he didn't seem to hear them at all, and only muttered to himself, "Is there something wrong with the ancient books?" Impossible, impossible? ”
I repeated the questioning again, but unfortunately the reaction was still the same, and seeing that the two of them did not look like they were pretending, I gave up, and stood at the gate of the city with the big head, and did not move for a long time.
In the end, it was Kuroko who took the most important step first, "Let's go!" ”
"Hmm!" Everyone nodded in agreement, and raised their feet in unison, without deliberateness, but their bodies seemed to be unwilling to break the tranquility of this place, and they magically reduced their weight, and the silent feeling of landing on the ground startled me. Looking at the spotless ground as if someone was taking care of it every day, I don't know when, the nine-headed spirit snake actually sneaked out, and was holding its nine heads high with interest, shuttling between everyone's feet, and swimming towards the city excitedly.
