After queuing at the side gate for about an hour, Yi Tianxing, Xiao and Lin finally stepped into the Zhongzhou City Gate.

Inside and outside the door, it is like a world away, through the thick city gate, what appears in front of Yi Tianxing is a 100-meter corridor with the width of the city gate, compared with the majestic official road outside the city, it suddenly seems narrow and depressed, the two sides of the corridor are as high as 12 zhang at the beginning, and 15 zhang at the end. If it weren't for the long wall inlaid with fluorescent moonlight carved from fluorescent moonlight on the left and right walls of the corridor, the whole corridor would definitely be dark, but even so, the corridor still seemed too gloomy, and the people who came and went in it couldn't help but speed up their pace and hurried forward, but Yi Tianxing's mood was not affected by the environment, and he still walked slowly and unhurriedly, while sighing that the skilled craftsmen who participated in the construction of the city did not know what ingenious ventilation system was set up, which could make so many people breathe as usual in such a deep and narrow corridor, and there was no feeling of stuffiness at all, and from this thought, since this corridor hides a ventilation system that can freely and smoothly exchange huge amounts of air with the outside world, then through this system, it is natural that a huge amount of poisonous gas can be poured in turn.

Yi Tianxing pondered, while raising his eyes to look up, on the top of the wall battlement stairs, every ten steps there was a majestic and powerful officer and soldier, standing there with guns and swords, his body was straight as a benchmark, in front of them, there was a wind-chasing chain crossbow, the power of this crossbow can only be regarded as the middle and lower in the giant crossbow machine, but the victory is in the crossbow arrow winding quickly, The shooting is fast, and a skilled hand can launch it with thirty-six crossbow arrows in a single breath, which can be used to snipe the enemy who invades the corridor according to the proportion of this configuration on the Zhongzhou city wall, and it can really be done like rain of arrows and impermeable to the wind.

At the end of the corridor, is the second city gate, the casting standard is the same as the first city gate, but it should be three feet high, it seems a little narrow, the city wall of the second city gate, a row of sixteen Shenwei cannons, the angle of the cannon barrel is different, respectively aimed at a certain section of the 100-meter corridor, every inch of the corridor is shrouded in their range, the black cannon muzzle is like a beast that chooses people and devours, revealing the breath of forest.

The city gate of Zhongzhou is guarded, entering the city is at the first city gate, and leaving the city is at the third city gate, so as to avoid a large number of people gathering in the long corridor between the city gates. Therefore, Yi Tianxing walked slowly, and still quickly passed through the second city gate.

After the second city gate, there is still a 100-meter corridor, and the two sides of the corridor are still battlement stairs, and the end of the corridor is still a towering city gate. However, this corridor also has many differences from the previous corridor, the third wall is three zhang higher than the second wall, reaching eighteen zhang, so the beginning and end of the battlement staircase and the height of the opposite gate will also increase.

In addition, the equipment of the officers and soldiers standing on the battlement stairs is also different, and the equipment of the officers and soldiers on both sides of the corridor just now is the standard configuration of the Yu ** team. The armor is strong, but it is just a well-armored soldier, but here, the spear of each garrison soldier is a Huizhou cow tendon wood as a rod, the head of the spear is spiral, cast in loose steel, carved along the thread with a snake-like pattern, the cold light is cold, it is a famous gun snake in Huizhou, engraved with Xuanmen runes, attacking the fortified and breaking sharp as destroying the withered and decaying, the waist steel knife is luxurious and reveals the vicissitudes of time, although there is no unsheathed, but the scabbard is dark green and mixed with silver stars, it should be made of bright silver king shark skin, and the handle is made of red sandalwood. Wrapped in gold wire, if there is no accident, when it was the former Jin Taizu unified Shenzhou, set Shenzhou sword-casting master in Chaoyi Mountain, lasted three years, carefully built tribute knife Chaoyi, belongs to the pinnacle of mass custom knives, after thousands of years still blow hair and break hair, sharp as new. The crossbow machine in front of these officers and soldiers has also been replaced with a crossbow breaking crossbow, this crossbow machine is a well-known weapon in the Great Qin Crusaders, carefully crafted by the Heavenly Sect priests, equipped with crossbow arrows are not only sharp and strong, can shoot through ten heavily armored soldiers with one arrow, and the arrows contain the unique magic breaking spell of the Heavenly Sect, unless it encounters a targeted strong defensive spell, otherwise the mage's defensive spell is as fragile as a layer of tissue paper in front of it.

Above the third city gate opposite, there is no cannon, but there are four towers with strange shapes, this kind of tower has a total of five floors, the top is pointed and the bottom is round, except for the top of the tower seems to be wearing a pointed hat, the rest of the floors are the same size, with obvious architectural style of the Great Qin Kingdom, but unlike the ordinary Great Qin Tower, the most central place at the top of the tower, there is a crystal ball as big as a fence bucket, there is no rope on the top, there is no base below, it is so abruptly suspended in the air and slowly rotated, Ambilight, gorgeous and unsquare.

Yi Tianxing read a lot of books, and he could see the origin of the tower at a glance, and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: "Magic Tower!" He was not making a fuss, the Guy Magic Tower was the highest masterpiece of Jingzhou Warlocks, and each magic tower was the brainchild of many mages, and it was extremely powerful, but on the other hand, the magic tower was completely a monster that specialized in devouring gold coins, and the cost was so great that it was beyond ordinary people's imagination.

In addition to consuming a large amount of magic materials, the construction of the magic tower also requires a large number of mages to sacrifice it, because every brick and every step of the magic tower needs to be inscribed with runes and refined into magic weapons by the mages who have cultivated deeply. Ninety percent, so the cost of building the magic tower is very exaggerated, even if only one floor is built, it will have to exhaust a year's tax of the Great Qin Kingdom, which has to be lucky, and the right magic materials can be bought. Therefore, even in Jingzhou, which is the origin of the magic tower, the lords who have a one-story magic tower are all veteran nobles with family lineage, and only the Great Qin Imperial Capital can have a five-story magic tower, and there are only three in total, built outside the palace, only for the purpose of guarding the Great Qin Palace, and Zhongzhou, which lacks Jingzhou warlocks and magic materials, actually built four five-story magic towers in one side gate, thinking that the rest of the gates may be also configured, and even the main gate is even higher, and the financial resources consumed are simply immeasurable.

However, although the construction cost of the magic tower is expensive, the performance is also worthy of its cost, a magic tower only needs a mage to drive, and the power is definitely no less than that of a battalion of elite magic archers, 360 degrees of vision without dead ends, automatic aiming, locking tracking, and the rate of fire of sixty-four magic shots per second, each blow is comparable to the power of the thunderbolt god, and it is not human power to compete with it at all.

Yi Tianxing pressed the horror in his heart, looked left and right, and found that there were no permanent lights on the two walls of the corridor between the second and third city gates, but a stone torch was inserted every one meter, and the fireworks on the top were blazing, illuminating the corridor as bright as day, but it was very strange that there was no black smoke rising above these flames.

Seeing Yi Tianxing's frequent sideways glances, Xiao Hengjun said curiously: "What is Yi Gongzi looking at?"

Yi Tianxing also did not shy away from saying: "I was wondering why I didn't use the Changming wall lamp I saw here just now? The torch seems to be brighter, wouldn't it be troublesome to replace it? And this torch seems to be a little strange, but I have come up with the problem." ”

Xiao Hengjun smiled and said, "It turns out that Yi Gongzi is interested in this holy torch?"

"Holy Torch?" Yi Tianxing's eyes showed a look of shock: "The Holy Torch of the Holy Light Sect?"

Xiao Hengjun nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Yi Tianxing suddenly gasped when he heard this, the holy torch is a holy object in the Holy Light Sect, and the whole body is carved from Jingzhou Bright Divine Jade, this stone is said to be jade, in fact, the surface looks no different from ordinary rocks, the key point is that it contains abundant true qi, and the nature of true qi is very close to the unique true qi of the Holy Light Sect, a fist-sized Bright Divine Jade, the amount of true qi stimulated by the secret method of the Holy Light Sect is comparable to a cultivation Holy Light** The elders of the Holy Light Sect who have been cultivating for more than sixty years have been cultivating all their lives, whether they are used to assist cultivation or attack the enemy, they are excellent treasures, so they are worshiped as divine jade by the Holy Light Sect disciples, and they have used it to make many Holy Light Sect holy relics, the most famous of which is this Holy Torch.

Because the true qi contained in the Bright Divine Jade has the characteristics of radiating light, after the Holy Torch is refined, there will be an inextinguishable holy flame at the top, this flame is not produced by combustion, but the true qi in the Bright Divine Jade is caused by the release of the runes, as long as the runes inside the Holy Torch are not destroyed or the Holy Torch itself is not destroyed, it will never be extinguished.

On the one hand, lighting the Holy Torch in the secret room of cultivation, the true qi in the Divine Jade of Light will be emitted from a source, providing the Holy Light Cultists with absorption and increasing the speed of cultivation, on the other hand, if they encounter enemies, the Holy Light Cultists can also use the Holy Light** The flame that ignites the Holy Torch flies out to hurt people, automatically tracking the infidels, like maggots on tarsal bones, never dying, and this kind of holy fire is not limited by the skills of the Holy Light Cultists, even the Holy Light Cultists who have just practiced the True Qi of the Holy Light can also use it, inspiring amazing power.

However, hearing the name of the Holy Torch, Yi Tianxing felt a burst of disgust in his heart, in his eyes, the refining method of the Holy Torch had nothing to do with the light at all, and even went against the light, and was extremely evil. To refine the Holy Torch, you need to use the Light Divine Jade to carve it into a torch, and then the Holy Light Sect masters will use the Holy Light** In the center of the torch through a natural passage, and then on the inner wall of the torch engraved Holy Light Sect secret mantra runes, and then through the elders of the sect to hold the spell for twelve years, before the fetus can be formed, finally, in order to make the holy torch of the immortal flame spiritual, the Holy Light Sect will select the most holy among the disciples for blood sacrifice, but the blood sacrifice of the Holy Light Sect is extremely inefficient, there is no law at all, often have to die seven or eight so-called holy women to make the blood sacrifice successful, in Shenzhou a book that ridicules the coarse and evil of the Jingzhou religions "Fanbang Religious Miscellaneous" , it is also recorded that the Holy Light Sect once sacrificed fifteen holy women in succession to refine a holy torch.

What is even more tragic and ridiculous is that, according to the Holy Light Cult, the spirituality of the unquenchable flame is the embodiment of the devout faith that the Holy Maidens dedicated to the Great Light Cult, the grace bestowed by the Light Cult on the Holy Light, and the holy relics that defend the light and eradicate the infidels, which only the Holy Light Cultists can grasp. But later it was discovered that the so-called Immortal Flame would uphold the will of the Great Venerable of Light, protect the Holy Light Cultists, and automatically hunt down and kill the infidels, which is actually the result of the true qi in the Bright Divine Jade will avoid the same kind of True Qi, as long as you practice the Holy Light Heart Method, or have an item that can release the Holy Light True Qi, such as the Bright Divine Jade, you can be protected from the Immortal Holy Flame, if there is no same kind of True Qi to protect yourself, the Immortal Flame is a mass of enemies and enemies There is no killing tool with any spirituality at all, and it is necessary to kill the creatures within a radius of ten zhang to return to the top of the holy torch, and what is even more ironic is that people who have not practiced the holy light ** only need to hold a small piece of light divine jade, which can also inspire the unquenchable holy flame at the top of the holy torch. A thousand years ago, there was a man who was slaughtered by the Holy Light Sect in the name of heresy, and by chance he got a holy torch, and found this, he thought that his ability was low, and he was not able to take revenge on the Holy Light Cultists who killed his family, so he took the holy torch and rushed into the Great Temple of the Holy Light Sect Zhenni that was being baptized collectively, and opened a killing ring, although he himself was killed on the spot, but the flying unquenchable holy flame burned down more than 100 children who were about to enter the Sect at that time, and only three children were protected by the Great Elder of the Holy Light Sect in time with the Holy Light True Qi and saved their lives。 Due to the particularity of time and place, this tragedy caused an uproar all over the world, and the Jinni Temple is the largest temple of the Holy Light Sect, and it is also the place where the founder of the Holy Light Sect, Jinni, ascended to heaven. The place where the sect leaders of the past dynasties lived, only once every ten years a collective baptism was held there, invoking the children of the most powerful families in the Shanye country to join the religion, the ceremony was solemn, not only presided over by the elders of the sect in person, but also invited the delegations of various countries to participate in the ceremony, so on the day of the incident, the missions of various countries were stunned to see the changes in the temple and remembered in their hearts, the incident happened suddenly, the Holy Light Sect was completely unthinkable, no matter how crazy they were, they did not dare to wipe out all the envoys of all countries in the world, so even if the Holy Light Sect banned the news as quickly as possible, it could not block the mouths of the people, except that the Shanye Kingdom was under the absolute control of the Holy Light Sect, and the thousand-year-old blockade was blocked, has erased the memory of the people, and this legend has spread widely in other countries, becoming one of the greatest shames of the Holy Light Cult.

Thinking of this, Yi Tianxing glanced at the officers and soldiers on the battlement stairs, and sure enough, their bracers were inlaid with an inconspicuous Bright Divine Jade, although it was only the size of a finger, but it should be enough to activate the holy torch.

Yi Tianxing sighed at the strength of Zhongzhou's defense, and suddenly thought that the light god jade is rare and rare, even if the Shanye country has a vast territory in the northeast of Jingzhou, for thousands of years, there is not much savings, and the number of holy torches is even rarer, and the status of this thing in the minds of the holy light cultists is sacred, not to mention that idle people have it, it is a delusion at a glance, I can't imagine that Zhongzhou actually uses this kind of religious holy relic as an ordinary lighting torch, and there are as many as two hundred in a long corridor, and there are five city gates in each of Zhongzhou. There are three city gates in each position, thirty-two corridors in eight directions, a total of 6,400 holy torches, I am afraid that now the Holy Light Sect has gathered the power of the whole sect, and the holy torches that can be gathered are not even a fraction of this number, although Zhongzhou's move also has a reason to use the attack power of the Holy Torch, but I am more afraid that it is more to show a kind of domination over the world and the spirit of submission of all nations.

Yi Tianxingran knew that in order to steal these holy torches, thousands of years of people knew how many fanatics of the Holy Light Sect had died tragically between the second and third gates of Zhongzhou, so that these thirty-two corridors were called the Holy Light Sorrow Road by the people of Shanye Country, of course, in Shenzhou, where almost no one would believe in the Holy Light Sect, the common people accepted this statement from the Yan, and were extremely disgusted with the Shanye people who liked to provoke Tianwei and make trouble for no reason, but from time to time they were a little out of line with current affairs. Emperor Shang, a nerdy minister who does not observe the people's feelings, wants to replace these torches to ease the grievances between Shenzhou and Shanye, but this argument is not supported by the Shenzhou people who are consciously higher than Fanbang in both the court and the opposition, and it is meaningless except to scold.

While Yi Tianxing was thinking about it, the Snow Dragon Horse had already passed through the third city gate, and his eyes suddenly opened up, revealing a bright and bright future.
