Chapter 172: An Absurd Story

A castle stands majestically in the vast Gobi Desert.

This castle is made of wind and rain erosion sand for many years, standing outside to see, pavilions, city corridors, streets, majestic treasure halls and various scenes, it can really be described as a thousand postures, gorgeous and colorful, forming a fantastic labyrinth world

Gu Yun and Zi Bing walked for more than three days, and finally arrived at this ghost town, the two of them didn't get anything along the way, and the treasures that were easy to find along the way had already been swept away, and as for those difficulties, they didn't have time to get them, so they could only be empty-handed.

This ghost town has a radius of tens of thousands of miles, and the biggest opportunity in this area seems to be in this ghost town, of course, there may be nothing, it can only depend on the personal opportunity, and in the range of hundreds of thousands of miles, there is no clue, there is no information, and there are not even things that may not exist, the difficulty is conceivable.

Fortunately, there are not a few people who have entered this city now, there are always nearly 100,000 of them, although it is extremely rare in such a big city, but everyone is searching there, and it will also cause some movement from time to time.

Naturally, this trigger comes at a cost, some people are passive, some people are active, but, in general, often the toucher is also the furthest away from the treasure in the end, because most of them often die at the moment of touching, and even the survivors die in the battle that follows.

In general, death is an eternal topic here, either killed by the treasure snatchers, or strangled by the formation, or suddenly devoured by the sand houses, halls, and monsters that originally stood there quietly, and even swept away by the sudden howling wind

Here, you may be able to think of anything else, but what you can't imagine is what kind of reason you will die tragically in the next moment.

Gu Yun and Zi Bing walked down the wide streets of the city, and there were all kinds of houses, tall buildings, and monsters eroded by the sand on both sides of the streets, and then they saw a large hall.

This is a relatively empty area in the ghost city, like a square, but in the middle of the square there is a large hall, which is also eroded by wind and rain, but except for the temple door without a door and the window without window paper, the other places are no different from the main hall seen outside.

Although the whole is composed of sand, it still looks beautiful, ingenious, the proportions are just right, and there is nothing awkward, and it is not less majestic because of the lack of those splendid decorations, but it is more desolate and long-lasting, with a strong sense of the vicissitudes of life

Gu Yun and Zi Bing walked through the square to the front of the main hall, and were immediately shocked by the momentum of the main hall, even Zi Bing, who had not changed his expression in the past few days, also had a look of surprise in his eyes because of the magic of nature, and both of them felt the vibration that touched the depths of their hearts.

The two walked into the main hall, the hall was very empty, and there were countless hollows on all sides of the light, but it was very bright.

There is no eroded in the main hall to decorate the statue or the like, but directly above the hall eroded out a human-like pattern, but the pattern looks a little uncomfortable, uncomfortable but not that the pattern looks rough, but the lines are exquisite, the proportions are even, as if a very high level of carving master made.

The only thing that makes people feel uncomfortable is that there is a protruding piece under the right arm of the portrait, which looks like it has a third hand from a distance, which affects the beauty of the whole figure, but makes people feel uncomfortable.

Gu Yun and Zi Bing saw that there was nothing special here, and they turned around and were about to leave, but at this time.

"Buzz!"

There was a burst of spatial fluctuations, but countless ghosts appeared in this hall and rushed towards Gu Yun and Zi Bing, but the ghosts looked like they were real, and they swooped down on the two of them like that.

At this time, if those with low spiritual power, coupled with the fact that they usually have all kinds of hidden dangers in the desert, they are much more frightened, even if they have cultivated to reach the ninth stage of the Sea Accumulation Realm, they will quickly take the road and flee far away, and they will not dare to look back.

But Gu Yun and Zi Bing are comparable to ordinary people, not to mention Zi Bing's extraordinary spiritual power and cultivation, and Gu Yun even used that phantom array to kill the powerhouses of the Xuanyuan Realm, so when that fluctuation rose, they knew that this was a phantom array that was not of a low level.

At this time, seeing those ghosts and monsters attacking in front of him, Gu Yun gently popped out a true qi, only to see that as the true qi swept over, the shadows of the ghosts disappeared one after another, but they turned into a light curtain, and there were words on the light curtain:

"Legend has it that this was originally a majestic castle, the men in the castle were handsome and strong, the women in the castle were beautiful and kind, and the people in the castle worked hard and lived a worry-free life with plenty of food and clothing.

However, with the accumulation of wealth, greed gradually took over people's hearts. They began to indulge in fun and wine, and were no longer willing to toil, and their hearts were filled with greed, and the city was full of deceit and bloodshed for riches, and every man's face became hideous and terrifying.

In order to arouse the conscience of the people, the god came to the castle in the form of a ragged beggar. The gods told the people that it was greed that turned him from a rich man to a beggar, but the beggar's words did not work, but he was insulted and ridiculed by the people in the castle.

In a fit of rage, the gods turned the place into ruins, and all the people in the castle were crushed under the ruins. Every night, the spirits of the dead mourn in the castle, hoping that the gods would hear their voices of repentance. ”

"What nonsense!" Gu Yun smiled after reading it, and turned around to walk outside the hall.

"Although it looks a bit absurd, maybe this story is to illustrate something! Otherwise, there is such a majestic hall here, and there is a phantom array that conjures up those ghosts, and then turns into words, it is not just to tell such an absurd story to us, right?" Zi Bingdao, who had not opened his mouth for a long time, always sounded so comfortable.

Especially for Gu Yun, he didn't hear it for a few days, and he thought about it a little, it would be like hearing the sound of heaven, and his heart suddenly became much clearer.

If it's just to tell such a story, isn't the person who designed this too boring, so what does he have to tell us?" Gu Yun also stopped leaving, and said in a deep voice.

Then, he suddenly turned his head to the humanoid pattern, only to find that Zi Bing was also staring at the pattern at this time.

The two glanced at each other, and Zi Bing's eyes flashed with a knowing smile.

"Sister, are you here or am I coming?" asked Gu Yun with a grin.

"It's up to you to do the mud work, there are beautiful women there doing these things. Zi Bing also smiled mischievously.

"Hehe, my sister hasn't spoken for a few days, what she said is really interesting!" Gu Yun also quipped.

"You little villain, you don't work hard, what kind of poor mouth are you playing? Do you think your sister is that kind of cold stone man!" Zi Bing's eyes widened, but she pretended to be angry.

"Ahh

"Brush, Brush, Brush"

There was a burst of dust, and Gu Yun's face was covered with dirt and flew back.

"Sister, how do you see my technique?" Gu Yun felt a fishy smell in his mouth.

"Dusty, what do you want me to see, look at you like a mud monkey, give, rub it!" Zi Bing said and handed over a snow-white silk handkerchief, and a faint fragrance rushed straight to Gu Yun's brain.

"It's not good to get my sister dirty. Gu Yun said a little hesitantly.

"Do you think I can still use it after you've used it? It's all smelling like you, so I'll keep it after you've used it! I'm a lot better myself." ”

When Gu Yun heard this, he quickly took the silk handkerchief in Zi Bing's hand, the faint aroma made him a little intoxicated, but he didn't wipe his face, he stuffed it directly into his heart, but wiped his face a few times with his sleeve.

"Hmph!" Zi Bing, who was watching all this, snorted coldly and turned her head to look at the humanoid pattern where the smoke and dust had dissipated.

But seeing that the extra one under the right arm of the humanoid pattern had been slashed clean by Gu Yun with his sword, the whole pattern suddenly looked like it had that perfect feeling, and there was no longer a trace of uncomfortable feeling, only the beauty that penetrated deep into the soul

Zi Bing looked at it and nodded slightly, it seemed that he was still very satisfied with Gu Yun's technique, but he didn't speak, and he was a little annoyed by Gu Yun's incident just now.

Gu Yun looked at the perfect pattern, and he was a little proud in his heart.

At this time, the pattern was slightly lightened, and then the light became stronger and stronger, and then the pattern rotated, emitting a strong earthy yellow light, and the hall was also flooded with an earthy yellow halo.

"Smack!"

But out of the swirling pattern came two small earthy yellow objects.

Then, the rotating pattern also slowly weakened until it disappeared, and the rotating pattern also stopped, and when they looked again, they found that it had recovered the appearance they saw when they first came in, Gu Yun and Zi Bing knew that this was waiting for the next person to come in and give them the same problem.

What they are given here should be those two small earthy yellow items, but that thing doesn't seem to be a treasure, it should be something related to the opportunities that follow, maybe having this small earthy yellow item has the opportunity to participate in the opportunities behind.

Therefore, even if this hall asks the same question to everyone who comes in, it will not worry that people who already have the answer will spread the word, not only because there are few people here, nor because everyone will not easily believe the words of others, it is just because people are greedy in short, and who would want more people to share this kind of opportunity!

Gu Yun and Zi Bing stepped forward and picked up the small earthy yellow item, which was like two small bricks, with strange ancient patterns on them, but they couldn't tell what they were for, but the two bricks were exactly the same, and there was no difference between them, which also verified the conjecture of the two in front.

This must be a token to be entered somewhere later!
