Thunderfall Volume Chapter 65: The Ghost of the Round City

How can Lei Luo answer this? Believe it, it's really against your conscience, don't believe it, most of the things that my grandfather wants to say are related to ghosts. Lei Luo was in a dilemma, and when he didn't know what to do, his grandfather had already begun to talk.

Decades ago, Lei Luo's grandfather was originally a private school teacher, and later was favored by a general, who made a document with the army, and went south and north, although he did not fight on the front line, but he was also a horse for half his life, and he saw many strange things.

That general surnamed Zhu, the grandfather who treats Lei Luo is really not thin, it can be said that except for General Zhu, no one in the army dares to be presumptuous in front of his grandfather.

The smoke of the battlefield, the flying arrows, the swords and swords, the dead bodies all over the ground, the soldiers who are missing arms and legs...... All this is so ordinary for my grandfather, but this half of the book is like a spell, it's good not to touch it, once it is touched, the irresistible magic will make my grandfather like an enchantment, trembling all over.

That year, General Zhu made a contribution to quelling the rebellion, and his grandfather returned to the capital with General Zhu to receive merit. When the general was in high spirits, he took advantage of the sunny day to lead his subordinates down the mountain to hunt, saying that he was going to climb the Great Wall.

The Great Wall has fallen into disrepair for a long time, and many places are simply impossible to climb, and some have even collapsed from the middle, but this does not affect General Zhu's Yaxing in the slightest. When he came to Badaling, it was still early, and General Zhu was a hot-blooded person, looking at the masterpieces left by the previous dynasties, and decided to go through the dense forest to find a section of the Great Wall that was inaccessible to express his admiration for his ancestors.

This Badaling is a mountain pass in the Yumai Jundu Mountain of Yanshan, "the road is divided from here, extending in all directions, so it is called Badaling, and it is the highest in Guanshan." This area of mountains overlapping, many dangerous peaks and mountains, the situation is dangerous, it is always a place where soldiers must fight. Grandpa and his entourage of seven or eight people are licking the blood with a knife, facing this stretching mountain, pride bursts out, talking and laughing, overcoming thorns and thorns, unconsciously, has gone out for twenty or thirty miles.

Everyone is in high spirits, but unexpectedly there is a cliff in front of the broken road, the cliff is more than 100 meters high, the strange rock is abrupt, extremely precipitous, if you want to continue to move forward, you can only climb the past, but if you are not an ape, how can you climb through such a dangerous situation. Grandpa also felt regretful, and involuntarily reached out and touched the stone wall.

One of the guards sighed and said, "Unlucky, I didn't expect it to be a dead end." When everyone was about to return, another general Zhu's personal guard found that there was a small mountain crack in the cliff, which was only enough for one person to enter sideways, and through the mountain crack, the light could still be faintly seen.

General Zhu looked at it for a while, laughed, and said to everyone: "In the middle of the Jin Dynasty, the Wuling people fished for their business, and later walked to the Peach Blossom Land through a cave. It seems that today we will also find a paradise. Under the leadership of General Zhu, the group took off the bow on their backs, untied the sword on their waists, raised them above their heads, turned their bodies sideways, and carefully pierced them. Looking at the sky in the seam, there is only one line left, which is a veritable "one line of sky".

Passing through the stone wall, there is a large area of lush forest and bamboo in front of you, and a section of the stone wall can be vaguely seen in the layers of dense forest. The crowd was overjoyed, and ran and shouted to the base of a broken wall. This section of the broken wall is hidden in the dense forest, there is no way to reach, there is no trace of people around, everyone is happy, I can't imagine that in this group of mountains and dense forests, I really found such a section of the Great Wall.

General Zhu was inexplicably excited, and asked his grandfather to record it, and when he met the saint, he could report it truthfully and let people come here to repair, which was also a merit.

From this point of view, this General Zhu is a brave, strategic, and overall situation, which is really unusual. General Zhu was supposed to be the first to climb up, but the guards didn't let him live or die from the perspective of safety. A guard was agile, stepping on the human ladder, climbing the edges and corners of the broken wall, and climbed up three times and two times. When the guard went up, he took a few steps forward and shouted excitedly, "Oh my God, this is not the Great Wall......

After the call, there was no more sound. Grandpa they couldn't see the guard under the corner, and no one answered after shouting a few times, General Zhu was born in a soldier and had a fiery personality, and when he saw that the guard didn't speak for a long time, he became angry: "You turtle son, what is so good-looking that you can't open your mouth, and there is a beautiful woman taking a bath?" Still there was no response, and the other guard mentioned: "Isn't there any danger?" This sentence reminded everyone, everyone held knives in their hands, and one archer even held the hunting longbow in his hand.

If you still climb up from this place, then you can only take a ladder, and you can only go up one person at a time, and if there is any danger on it, it is obviously impossible to deal with it, just like the guards just now. So it was decided to leave Grandpa and the archers where they were, while the others walked along the wall to see if they could find an easier place to get up. As a result, the person who walked out actually walked back from the opposite direction - the wall was actually a circle.

How could this be the Great Wall, but if it wasn't the Great Wall, what would it be? Who would build a Colosseum-like building without even a door? Where is the entrance? Isn't it underground? And most importantly, what happened to the guards above?

Without further ado, the key now is to hurry up and find out. The big man was at the bottom, and in the middle was a thin guard, and it took a thin warrior to top it like an arhat. The warrior didn't say a word when he went up, took off his coat and hung it down, then lay down on the wall, and pulled the people below him up one by one. After going up, I found that this strange building was really round, with a diameter of about 50 meters. In this circle, there are many strange-looking sculptures or buildings, and the guards just now are looking down blankly.

General Zhu became angry when he saw it: "You turtle son, what are you looking at, and you don't speak for a long time?" General Zhu walked to the guard's side, looked into the guard's eyes, and instantly froze on the spot. In this way, everyone's curiosity has been aroused, the circular building has a diameter of fifty meters, but the city wall is at least more than ten meters thick, everyone can't wait to come to the head of the regiment, look down, can't help but gasp, the atmosphere does not dare to come out, stunned to look at the things in front of them, no one can come back to their senses.

The things that appeared in front of him, Lei Luo guessed, were related to the ghosts that his grandfather said.

When my grandfather said this, he picked up the teacup and tried to stabilize his mood by drinking saliva, but his hands trembled unobediently, and the tea was scattered on the ground. Decades have passed since the incident, and I can still give my grandfather such a big shock, you can imagine how strange it was to see at that time. Grandpa didn't continue, turned around and asked Lei Luo: "Do you believe what I said?" Lei Luo nodded sincerely and affirmatively and said, "Grandpa, your eyes and expressions tell me that what you said must be true." Whatever I hear next, I'll believe you. Grandpa smiled with satisfaction and said, "I have only told your grandmother about this, and she scolded me for being dazzled by daylight." Lei Luo cautiously looked at his grandmother, who was chatting with several daughters, and then whispered to his grandfather: "Grandma has no knowledge." Grandpa slapped the thunder and laughed. Thunderfall laughed too.

My grandfather's mood stabilized a lot, and he began to talk again. I was still laughing just now, but when I talked about what I saw back then, my grandfather became serious again.

When they climbed up the stone wall and looked down, they were shocked by what they saw, and they were all demented. The more than 10-meter-thick wall enclosed by some strange buildings, most of which are stone carvings. Among these buildings, the most conspicuous is a one-meter-high stone tablet in the center, which does not look like it is carved from stone, but looks like some kind of jade, and it glows white from a distance. The stele is densely engraved with words, and those words are like flowing water, looming on the stele. Underneath the stele is a giant stone carved monster with a tortoise's shell, and the jade stele stands on the tortoiseshell. But this monster is obviously not a turtle, and if it were, my grandfather wouldn't have called him a monster.

Although this guy has a turtle shell, there are two spikes protruding from the turtle shell like bull's horns, and it looks like he has a sense of divine martial arts. The four feet of this monster are quite thick and powerful, each foot has sharp claws, although the distance of about twenty meters, although it is a stone carving, but grandpa They can still feel the cold air on the claws, only the sharpest sword edge, can give people this feeling.

The neck of the turtle is very short, and the neck of this monster is quite long, a point longer than the whole body, and there are thick scales on the neck, and along the neck up, everyone sees a beast's head - like the head of a legendary dragon. The horns on the head are vivid, but the dragon hair on the lower jaw has become a barb like a bull's horn.

Around the jade stele and the monster were eight irregular stone pillars, all of which were vermilion, and at a glance, they were stained red with blood. Because on these stone pillars, there are still scattered corpses of people, some of which are already white bones, and some of which are so rotten that they drip blood on the ground......

The most important thing is that in addition to the wall, the circular ground with a diameter of about 40 meters is covered with white bones, so dense that the ground is almost invisible. These white bones, some of them human and some of them animal bones, glowed white in the sunlight and made people shudder. On these white bones, there was an old man in rags, sitting cross-legged, and at this moment, he was staring at his grandfather and others.

Speaking of this, Lei Luo also gasped. If this place is a mass grave on the battlefield, it is not surprising that there are so many white bones. But I learned from my grandfather that there was no door to this circular building at all, so how did these dead bodies get in? Could it be that as my grandfather guessed, the entrance was underground? Speaking of this, Lei Luo was already able to guess that the ghost that my grandfather was going to talk about should be the person sitting cross-legged. How did I know what my grandfather told next, but Lei Luo had the urge to repeat his grandmother's words.

Everyone finally understood why the guard who came up first came up and didn't say a word like an evil spirit, and when faced with such a strange scene, how many people's heads could come back to their senses? Grandpa and his party were looking at the old man sitting on the white bones in amazement, but the old man moved—he stood up, and floated slowly in place, until he floated in front of Grandpa and them, suspended in the air, and his eyes stared straight at everyone like falcons.

Grandpa and his entourage were so frightened that they didn't even blink their eyes, and looked at the old man so stupidly. The old man's gaze swept through the crowd, and finally fell on General Zhu. The old man seemed to have chosen someone, raised his right hand, and saw a book on his right hand, which floated up like the old man, until it floated to General Zhu's chest, hovering still. Everyone was completely stupid at that time, and they couldn't think about what the old man wanted to express, and in the face of the book suspended in front of their chests, they didn't pick it up, they didn't take it, and cold sweat instantly flowed all over the ground.

At this time, the old man spoke: "I have waited for hundreds of years, and finally I have waited, when I pass on the seeds of your strength, you take the book and leave here quickly, find the emperor, cut off merit, and save the world." The old man stared at General Zhu and said this, but his grandfather remembered it very clearly.

As soon as the old man finished speaking, everyone felt that it was dark, something was blocking the sunlight overhead, and the entire circular building was covered by a huge shadow, and when they looked up, they saw a huge monster with wings descending from the sky. The monster still had some animal and human corpses in its mouth, and when it saw that there were living people on the city wall, it immediately threw down the corpses in its mouth and let out a crisp roar.
