Chapter 173: The Ghost Gate on the Mountain
The woman who is handsome but always likes to call herself a heroine was finally brought to the Sunset Mountain by Chen Tianze's repeated fools, and then she coaxed and deceived her to get her name.
Gao Xia!
A woman's name was named Gao Xia, which surprised Chen Tianze, but then he thought of this woman's style of speaking and doing things, but it did not insult this extremely domineering name.
As for where the woman came from and where she was going, Chen Tianze couldn't ask after all.
All the way up the mountain, the originally flat road became overgrown with weeds because no one had walked for many years, but fortunately, the dense weeds did not change the mountain of Sunset Mountain after all, so the mountain was quite flat and stable along the way, and Chen Tianze was no stranger to the mountains, so the two quickly stopped at the gate of this magnificent castle, tilting their heads, full of surprise.
"It's so high!"
The woman named Gao Xia crossed her waist with her hands, looked up at the huge castle standing in front of her, and let out a heartfelt sigh of emotion.
As for Chen Tianze, he was even more shocked. Wangshan ran a dead horse, because the mountain is too big and the road is too far, but the castle in front of you is very tall from the bottom of the mountain, and when you get to the mountain to observe it closely, you know that it is really big, and it is terrifying.
Of course, what surprised Chen Tianze was not just that it was terrifyingly big, but that this huge castle called the Dusk Castle was very big. But from the wall at the entrance of the castle, it seems that there is nothing to be seen, and it is no different from the ordinary castle courtyard, but the top of the castle does rise and fall, high and low.
This kind of structure is not for the sake of good looks, let alone cutting corners, how can the people who have always been able to have the financial resources and ability to build such a castle tolerate the craftsmen cutting corners and making this castle incomplete? Therefore, the ups and downs are clearly deliberate, and Chen Tianze couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the outer wall of this castle for the first time.
Crossbowmen are set up at the high place, and ballista carts are set at the low place, and the layers are overlapped.
This is clearly a military fortress!
When Chen Tianze secretly looked around, the Gao Xia had already come back to his senses, ignored Chen Tianze's thoughtfulness, took a step forward directly, put his hands on the city gate that was also big enough, and pushed hard.
Squeak!
The door was actually pushed open by Gao Xia.
"Be careful!" Chen Tianze hurriedly shouted as if he realized something, and at the same time grabbed it with one hand, the Gao Xia who was still pushing the door just now flew directly backwards, and fell directly behind Chen Tianze, making a dull sound.
The door opened automatically, but nothing happened.
Chen Tianze, who was guarding Gao Xia, frowned and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Who knows, Gao Xia, who was fallen, slowly stood up, stretched out his hand to knead his tumbling buttocks, looked at Chen Tianze with an indignant face, and then raised his leg is a kick!
"What are you doing?" Chen Tianze turned around with a puzzled expression.
"What are you going to do, sneak attack this woman?" Gao Xia, who was rubbing his buttocks, was full of anger, and he didn't figure out what was going on just now, so he was pulled to the back, you said just pull it, so slow down, why did you just throw people to the ground?
Chen Tianze realized his gaffe at this time, and hurriedly hugged his fists in embarrassment and smiled: "Woman, I'm really sorry, I heard that most of this kind of house will have some hidden weapons on the door, so I shot in a hurry just now, and accidentally injured the heroine, don't blame the heroine!"
Gao Xia seemed to have a little reaction at this time, but instead of facing the gate, he looked at Chen Tianze, and said with white eyes: "Hey, hey, who just bragged that this castle is yours when you start Ming'er, how about it? Why don't you say it now? Bragging can't make a draft! Hmph!"
Chen Tianze rolled his eyes wildly, then turned his head to look at the door that had been opened, and his doubts were even more serious.
The construction of military fortresses is often in the border area, to defend against foreign enemies or to prevent barbarian rebellion, although this state is called a lost situation, but the area is not small, here is at least five or six hundred miles away from the southernmost border of the Holy Empire, how can there be a military fortress?
Of course, it's not hard to see why the wealthy and wealthy are so attracted to this castle.
"Let's go, go in and have a look. After hesitating for a moment, Chen Tianze slowly spoke, then turned his head to look at the slightly complicated Gao Xia, and chuckled: "Woman, don't you dare?"
As soon as he heard this, Gao Xia was immediately unhappy, looked at Chen Tianze with an indignant look, crossed his hands on his waist and said angrily: "Is there anything in this world that this woman doesn't dare?
It's just that the three 'hahaha' with extremely long tail notes sound like they are emboldening themselves.
Chen Tianze smiled without hesitation, and directly entered the castle first, and what came into view was a narrow and extremely long path, the ground of the path was paved with heavy rocks, and the surrounding walls were even more so.
Chen Tianze was extremely interested in the military formation, so the kid in his early teens at that time was no stranger to the military formation fortress.
The passage in front of you seems simple, but it is a place that can kill people. In all the wars of the Holy Empire, the gates of a single military fortress were breached, which meant that the enemy's forces were too strong and powerful to fight the enemy. So when the gates are opened, there is a long path, all made of the hardest stones, which seems simple, but in fact it is very mysterious.
The trail can accommodate four people at the same time, and there are many places in the seemingly solid walls on both sides that are hollow to facilitate the ambush of crossbowmen, and when a single enemy enters this path, there is a turtle in an urn that is defenseless and has no way to retreat, and it will be shot by the crossbowmen who are ambushed in the walls on both sides. Therefore, such a seemingly extremely simple path has been dubbed the terrifying name of the ghost gate.
When Chen Tianze really saw the ghost gate in front of him, he was even more convinced that this twilight castle was indeed a military fortress.
As for those who disappeared mysteriously, most of them must have died in various organs of this castle.
Gao Xia didn't know much about this, just looked surprised, and then turned his head to look at Chen Tianze, and was amazed: "This castle is really big."
Chen Tianze replied angrily: "You have said this sentence no less than ten times along the way. ”
"Hey, hey, did you say you were really going to buy it?" Gao Xia didn't get angry, just asked.
Chen Tianze nodded and said, "It's decided." ”
"I've heard that this castle is called Dusk Castle, it's very weird, there are always bizarre missing people in it, and I heard that there are monsters and unjust souls in this castle, why do you want to buy here?" Gao Xia shrunk his shoulders, as if he was frightened by his own words, and subconsciously leaned towards Chen Tianze's side and muttered.
Chen Tianze naturally noticed this seemingly inadvertent move, but he just smiled and said, "Because it's big enough, cheap enough, and besides, this place seems to feel a little familiar." ”
"Have you been here?" Gao Xia turned his head to look at Chen Tianze and said with a curious expression.
Chen Tianze shook his head calmly: "First time." ”
"Cut!"
The two of them quickly walked through this long alley, and Chen Tianze couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, does this mean that he also walked out of the ghost gate for a while?
Ahead, there is a huge platform, at the end of the alley, which is the largest flat land in the castle.
There is also a not high wall around the platform, most of them are afraid that people will accidentally fall, seeing this situation, Gao Xia's expression is obviously happy, jumping like the edge of running, and then standing there for a long time, turning his head to Chen Tianze excitedly: "You can see the lake here, Xuanshui Lake, alas, come and see!"
Chen Tianze frowned, looking at this platform that appeared here abruptly, he was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that the structure is not like this?
Thundered.
A dull sound came, Chen Tianze's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly ran towards the unsuspecting Gao Xia.
Here, it's the ghost gate!
(There is a change before twelve o'clock) gentlemen gather in the hall of righteousness, a product of Tianzun
