Chapter 240: Tower of Babel
Tongtian Peak is 30,000 miles away, the mountain is not a few miles high, straight to the sky, has been deep in the sky and clouds, it is said that it is impossible to see a mountain thousands of miles away, but now it is clear to see, after the shock, Ye Wushuang finally understood what Buzhou Mountain meant, the Tianzhu Peak he saw before was simply incomparable with this, and he had to admire the spirit of the people here to dig the mountain, it was more difficult to dig this mountain straight up and down than to drain the water of the Pacific Ocean!
On the way, he was bored and asked others, why do you have to dig the mountain, you can't use other methods, it turns out that although there is only a layer of soil between the human flower world and the underground netherworld ghost world, this layer of soil cannot be dug up, not because it is thick, but because it has the power of the barrier, these two worlds are not in the same space at all, digging that layer of soil is useless, and you can't dig it, no matter how high your cultivation is.
But the world is so wonderful, what the gods can't do, mortals can do it, why? Because the law stipulates that the part of Tongtian Peak inserted into the soil layer of the upper realm is also the territory of the Netherworld Ghost Realm, so as long as the Tianfeng is dug up, people can go up, and the soil layer has nothing to do with the lower realm, otherwise anyone can dig it, and the world will be in chaos long ago. Ye Wushuang rolled his eyes when he heard this, and he didn't know which person could study this kind of thing so idlely, but he really should thank others in person, otherwise it would be very difficult to go up. Although Xiao Sa helps himself, he is also an emotionless person, and it is definitely impossible for him to return to Earth if he can't complete the quest, the problem is that he hasn't officially entered the Xiuzhen quest yet, and now he hasn't even released the quest yet!
He also asked them how the power of the upper realm came down, it was said that it was because there was an occasional spatial crack between the two realms, and this chance was too small, so he didn't have to hope for it, so he should climb the mountain honestly.
Those who can be selected to enter Tongtian Peak are naturally outlaws among the masters, but the outlaws are also divided into several grades, those who dare to work hard for the sake of profit are the lowest; those who can design to frame their relatives and friends and even their parents and wives for the sake of profit are the second-class; and those who know that they are being used and shout and rush forward are the best, and the great powers of the Netherworld now need this kind of person the most, because rushing up is simply a matter of nine deaths, and the people of the upper realm will not let them invade their own world, whoever rushes in front will die quickly, and those who really benefited before are the ones who rushed up from behind。
Therefore, before they entered Tongtian Peak, they were divided into three parts through voluntary registration, the first part is Ken Chong in the front, this part of the people are the highest, eat and drink spicy food, and have their own beautiful women to accompany them every day, and when the war starts, there will be flying magic weapons to send up; the third part is the reserve force, which must start climbing the Babel Tower from now on, and can eat and rest on the stone platform in the middle for three hours every day, and it is estimated that it will take half a year to climb to the top; and the real charging force is the second group, which also has the most people and the strongest force.
Ye Wushuang naturally signed up for the first echelon, belonging to the group sent to death, each person was rewarded with 10,000 yuan, and then they were sent to the buildings under the mountain peak to rest and enjoy, this Ye Wushuang must not do it, he wanted to enter the Tower of Babel to observe the terrain, structure and layout, so he applied to Shangguan to climb the stairs in the name of exercising his physique.
Tongtian Peak is Tongtian Peak, why is it called a tower? When Ye Wushuang really went in, he knew how big a project it was, the entire mountain peak was almost hollowed out, and all the traces seen in the eye were artificial, and there was no longer a little mountain stone to be seen, no wonder it was called a tower, except for the outer layer of skin, the entire building was almost man-made!
After entering the flat and wide cave, I got on the beast cart and drove forward for almost thousands of miles before I arrived at the place, and there are many near this kind of cave, and there are hundreds of them at a glance!
The steps are extremely wide, they are built in a spiral shape, and every ten miles of rising there is a huge stone platform for people to rest, there are fences, tents and fresh water on it, this kind of stone platform rises in a staggered manner, and you can't see the end at a glance! If this kind of scene is seen in the ET world, it can be understood, is the people's science and technology advanced, and it is too shocking to be built purely artificially here, and it really requires generations of people to work hard.
Like Ye Wushuang, there are many people who climb the steps on two legs, in addition to these soldiers, there is also a specially opened path next to it, which is reserved for those who send supplies, they climb up with more than 100 catties of things on their backs every day, once or twice a day, these are ordinary people, and they are only slightly stronger, how do they endure this kind of life?
There are also simple elevators in the tower, but they are between the upper and lower platforms, and there is no straight ladder from top to bottom, because their technology can't do it, and the weight of the rope alone in such a high place is not something they can solve.
It is enough to take a look at what should be seen, Xiao Sa will restore the hologram inside, there is nothing else, and there is no need to eat and rest, Ye Wushuang will move forward steadily. This is not mountaineering in the ordinary sense, this is a project, a very big project, but others can build such a magnificent miracle with their hands, and they are just walking once, what's the big deal? He took the true yuan from his body and walked steadily upward with only his legs.
As he walked longer, his heart became more and more calm, and everything around him gradually became farther and farther away from him, and no longer had any effect on him. If you can't bear this loneliness and feel that there is no point in doing these boring things, you will hesitate, you will relax, you will stop, even if you will not turn around and leave, you will not admit defeat, but even if you only take one step less in the middle, you will never reach your goal! This is cultivation, this is the cultivation of the mind!
His heart gradually stopped, and there was no longer a wave. Time passed slowly with his footsteps, one day, two days, ten days, one month, until someone in front of him blocked the way and shouted: "Someone is here!"
Ye Wushuang was shocked, and he came out of his free state and replied loudly: "The first squad of the first assault battalion came to report on Qiuduo sacks!"
The general opened the roster, looked at it, nodded, opened the fence door behind him, let him enter the platform behind, closed the roster and asked, "Isn't it still ten days before your assault battalion came up? Why did you come so early?"
"General Hui, General Min went to the platform below to do business, and by the way, he brought me up, the assault battalion has been assembled and is preparing to enter the tower. ”
The general nodded and ignored him. There are two platforms on this platform, both close to the mountain wall, leaving more than ten zhang of space in the middle, and below is a ring-shaped platform, which is densely carved with many complicated Yin characters, as if it is the rune seal circle of the Netherworld Ghost Realm.
This is already the top of the Tower of Babel, the power of the barrier is very heavy, and it is difficult to cast spells, but with the help of the magic circle is another matter, you can temporarily break through the power of the barrier, and the physical strength of people is not limited here.
Ten days later, all the men and horses of the assault battalion arrived, and Ye Wushuang also slipped onto the topmost platform while people were unprepared, and the three ghost emperors put the three treasures on the circular platform in colorful clothes, and then danced a strange dance.
How difficult it is, the three gods are powerful, like jumping gods, this is also a matter of no choice, this Babel Tower is majestic and magnificent from below, but the top floor is only a dozen zhang square, and there are not many people rushing up at a time, and there is also the power of the boundary to suppress, these three can temporarily break the power of the barrier and the last layer of sealing soil above with the formation is already very good.
Finally, the three of them finished dancing, pinching the mantra to point at the three treasures with their own true yuan power, brushing the entire formation clearly, the light blue pillar of light rose to the sky, "boom", the soil layer of mountains and rocks ten zhang thick above was completely shattered, and a ray of sky light shone down!
Many people around covered their eyes and screamed, there were almost no people among them who had seen the sun, and their eyes naturally couldn't stand it at first glance, but Ye Wushuang almost screamed with joy, sunshine! How long has it been since Lao Tzu had seen the sun?
"Rush, kill!" Ye Wushuang was the first to jump out of the ground layer with a large piece of knife and climb up, and everyone behind followed closely, surging up like ants out of the nest, and a voice under his feet shouted: "Qiuduo sack, wait for me, wait for me!" Looking back, it turned out to be one of the three-person squads of the Hurricane Wind Battalion, Ye Wushuang was excited in his heart, where could he still take care of him: "you! Say it three times in one sentence, delay Lao Tzu's meritorious service!"
"Hmm, I'll just say it twice?" The man was still counting with his fingers, and Ye Wushuang kicked him in the face: "Go down, you!" and then turned around and ran up.
Suddenly, I heard a broken shout from above: "Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Prajna Buddhas, Shakyamuni Jizang, Bo Ruoba Ma, Demon Subduing!" A purple light shone down and covered the entire cave entrance, and everyone including Ye Wushuang tightened their bodies, and then shrunk like a bean and was sucked up!
