Chapter 105: Enter the Giant Tower
The empty streets slowly moved backwards, and there was silence as far as the eye could see. .org
Except for footsteps.
The four Zhuang Ming followed in the middle of the sacrificial procession, wearing the same black robes as the rest of the procession, the right chest of the robe was embroidered with a huge axe, and the sleeves were trimmed with silver-white trim, and they all held plates in their hands, and in the plate was the black wish bead that Bai Xun had given them.
This is their key to the tower.
In front of them was a carriage, in which Bai Xun was sitting.
And at the end of the street in front of us, the palace gate of the Central Palace was already in sight.
Zhuang Ming took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at the giant tower that seemed to be about to stand up to the sky, and felt his lips a little dry.
The huge tower seemed to cover everything, although he knew that there was still some distance to reach, but Zhuang Ming looked at it, but he felt that he could reach out and touch it.
Compared to this giant tower, the name of the village has become an ant.
The closer you get, the smaller you become.
"Stop!"
A soft drink interrupted Zhuang Ming's thoughts. He looked ahead and finally understood.
I had already arrived at the gate of the palace, and a general guarding the palace stopped the team.
"It's me. ”
Bai Xun's voice came from the carriage.
The palace guard general was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then arched his body and bowed to Bai Xun and said, "I have seen the sect father, and the other three corpse kings have already entered." ”
"Well, I know, open the palace door. Bai Xun's voice was indifferent.
The palace guard general bowed again, then turned around and shouted to the guards on the left and right, "Open the palace gate!"
"Squeak—"
The huge palace door slowly moved to both sides, and the sound of friction was sometimes heavy, sometimes sharp, and after a while, it finally opened completely.
The scenery in the palace gate began to appear faintly.
"Please!"
The palace keeper stretched out his hand in the direction of the arch, and the sacrificial procession began to slowly walk towards the palace gate.
Zhuang Ming took a deep breath and took a step towards the palace gate, he knew in his heart that if he continued to take this step, he would face those legendary things.
He felt apprehensive, but more than that, he was looking forward to it.
"Dang!"
The bell of the night rang just in time.
Zhuang Ming felt relieved, the scenery in the deep palace had been revealed in front of his eyes, and the secret that had been buried here for 90,000 years was about to finally be revealed.
From the palace gate to the giant tower, I walked for about half an hour, and finally arrived at the destination.
The bottom of the tower.
Although it is the bottom of the tower, it is still nine feet above the ground.
Bai Xun stepped down from the carriage and led the team up the stairs.
It didn't take long to climb to the square in front of the bottom of the tower.
The square is very large, all made of black shiny stone slabs, and directly opposite the staircase is a small altar with a large tripod on it, and behind it is an arched door.
That was the entrance to the tower.
On this square, there was already a group of people standing, and the three leading people were no different from Bai Xun in terms of clothing, and there was no doubt that they should be the other three corpse kings.
To Zhuang Ming's surprise, there was a woman among the three corpse kings that he actually knew.
When Bai Xun was in the dream, when Drought and Hou Qing came to attack, this woman was the Heavenly Rank powerhouse who rushed over with the high priest.
Bai Xun walked up to the three corpse kings with a faint smile and said with a smile, "You guys are here quite early." ”
"Not early, not early, the sect father came at the right time. ”
A corpse king waved his hand at Bai Xun and said with a smile.
The woman glanced at Bai Xun expressionlessly and said, "Since you're here, let's start." ”
"Let's get started. ”
Bai Xun nodded.
"Play!"
A sacrificial-looking figure walked up the stairs to the altar and immediately snorted.
Heavy and euphemistic music followed, and Zhuang Ming followed the sound to see a group of musicians holding musical instruments on both sides of the altar playing.
The voice was definitely not unpleasant, but there was a mournful aura coming from the music, which made Zhuang Ming feel a little uncomfortable.
"Breath. ”
The music played for a while, and then stopped with the shouts of sacrifice.
"The corpse king came to power and presented state affairs. ”
......
The sacrificial process was quite complicated, and Zhuang Ming was confused and extremely bored. But he stood in the middle of the line, and he didn't dare to look around easily, so he had no choice but to keep his head down and pretend to sleep.
"Dedicate!"
Suddenly, a voice came, and Zhuang Ming opened his eyes.
According to the process explained by Bai Xun before, this is the last link, which requires sixteen people to hold the tray and put the black wishing beads into the sixteen positions in the giant tower.
The black-robed men holding plates in the four teams all walked out, and the four Zhuang Ming followed behind them and walked up the stairs to the altar in an orderly manner.
"Ceremony!"
The priest shouted, and the people fell to their knees, holding the tray above their heads.
There was a lot of nonsense again, and it took a while for the sacrifice to let everyone get up and walk along the paths on both sides of the big tripod towards the giant tower.
The four Zhuang Ming followed silently, but they were extremely nervous in their hearts.
In a few moments, everyone was already in the tower.
Zhuang Ming consciously probed inside, and found that the inside of the giant tower was very empty, like a huge hall, and in the middle of the hall was a thick stone pillar, which stood on the top of the sky, as if running through the entire giant tower, and around the stone pillar was like a long snake spiraling up the stone pillar.
Obviously, if they want to go to the top of the tower, the four of them must go all the way up this staircase.
And around the stone pillar squatting a group of stone beasts, these stone beasts have the same image, like a dragon and like a lion, ears like rabbits, these stone beasts are in a posture of looking up, looking at the direction of the top of the tower, with a transparent crystal ball in their mouths.
These crystal balls are the wish beads, but the difference is that the black substance in these wish beads has completely disappeared.
Zhuang Ming followed those black-robed people all the way to these stone beasts, and they carefully put the plate in their hands on the ground and took out the beads inside.
Zhuang Ming and Lian Xiao exchanged glances with each other at this time.
"Let's go!"
Zhou Yun suddenly shouted, put the black beads in his hand into the ring, and ran all the way up the stairs. The other three were not slow at all, and they all picked up the black beads and ran towards the stairs without looking back.
According to Bai Xun, as long as all the sixteen beads are put into the mouth of the stone beast, the entire giant tower will appear with imagery, Bai Xun suspects that once those beads are gathered, Ying Gou will wake up, so he specially ordered that the beads must be taken away.
The four Zhuang Ming ran away too suddenly, and the black-robed people who were changing the wish beads were stunned, they held the wish beads in their hands, and looked up at the four people who were galloping, with blank expressions on their faces.
