Chapter Twenty-Nine: Red Rock Castle
ใRed Rock Castleใ
Mokpo was tied up with five flowers, and a strip of cloth was stuffed in his mouth, and he sat in the carriage of a horse-drawn carriage. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ info He was stunned by a sudden knife blow from a woman in southern Xinjiang before, and when he woke up, he found that he had become like this.
The carriage was closed from all sides, except for a small window on each side. Fortunately, the light outside was very abundant, and Mupu could clearly see that at this moment, the southern Xinjiang woman was sitting on his left. To his right was a sickly-looking young man, and Mupu always felt a little familiar when he saw him, as if he had seen him somewhere before. In addition, there was a row of three strange men sitting opposite Mokpo, all men, one with only one arm, one bald, and the last one a short old man.
Including him, there were a total of six people in this carriage, all dressed in black robes, and even Mokpo was no exception. Mokpo is not a fool, he knows very well that he is now a sheep, so he has been sitting honestly in the same place, without asking for hardship. The woman in southern Xinjiang saw that he was very knowledgeable all the way, so she took the strip of cloth from his mouth.
The bald man couldn't bear the silent atmosphere in the carriage, and saw that the southern Xinjiang woman relieved Mu Pu, and raised his eyebrows and quipped to the southern Xinjiang woman: "Hey, Taoyu, weren't you sent to Guiyuan City on a mission? Why did you bring such a drag oil bottle back, even if you gave birth to a child, it's too fast." โ
Only then did Mupo know the name of the woman in southern Xinjiang, but he didn't know what to write.
Taoyu glanced at the bald man angrily: "What are you talking about, even if he is really my child, he will definitely not be your turn to be a father." Look at your vigorous appearance, it seems that you haven't suffered enough in the sacred mountain, I knew that you were talking so much nonsense, I should have done it later, and it was best for you to die directly in the sacred mountain. โ
Taoyu didn't say anything, as soon as he mentioned the half a month in the sacred mountain, the bald man was bitter: "Oh, my aunt, don't say it, you really took half of my life at that time, and almost scared all my three souls and seven souls." If you are half a step late, it is estimated that not only me, but also a ****** in this car will not be able to come back. โ
Mu Pu thought to himself, "It turns out that the rumors in Guiyuan City are true, the Hades Temple really attacked the Sacred Mountain, listening to the bald man's meaning, the other four people in this car have all entered the Sacred Mountain, and successfully escaped, but I don't know if the Sacred Mountain has been defended." The one-armed man on the opposite side and the boy on the right looked to be about my age, and he was already involved in this level of operation, but fortunately I didn't act rashly. What's more, the four of them alone are definitely not enough to attack the sacred mountain, and I'm afraid that we are not the only ones who are traveling with us. Fortunately, Mupu took a closer look at the men, and the short old man was like a pirate, with an eyepatch in his right eye, and his face was the palest of the group. The other two young men of his age were not particularly energetic, they looked tired, and the young man on his right was still bandaged around his waist, and he didn't know what kind of injury he had suffered. Looking at it, it seems that only the bald man in this carriage is unharmed and in the best condition.
It was only after being rescued by the underworld that Taoyu learned about the previous battle situation in the Divine Mountain from the mouths of others, and she also looked scared, "I really didn't expect that Yongzheng would personally bring the main forces of the [Four Elephant Court] and [Misty Moon Court] two courts into the Divine Mountain together, no wonder the garrison in the branch hall of Guiyuan City is so weak." Fortunately, the hall master has already made all preparations, otherwise we may be wiped out this time.
Now the hall master's plan has finally been successfully completed without danger, and the Divine Mountain Sky Ants have been taken into our pocket. It's just that the main forces of the two courts of the Ming Palace have been hit hard this time, and they will definitely not give up. Yongzheng's projection in the Sacred Mountain was interrupted by me, and if he was an ordinary person, he would have already lost his soul, even if he was as strong as Yongzheng, it is estimated that he would no longer be able to personally participate in the counterattack against us. The two remaining branches of the Envoy Clan are now in the midst of a mutiny, and they are too busy to take care of themselves. In this way, the next person who came to the door with the Ming Palace should be the group of people from the attached sect. โ
Mupu chuckled in his heart, "The sacred mountain has been lost!"
Seeing that Taoyu was so serious, the bald man didn't mean to laugh with him anymore, so he didn't care, but hung up on his face: "Lao Tzu is a rough person anyway, just eat, drink and sleep with girls, I don't want anything else, I'm tired of thinking about it, and I can't figure it out." Regardless of whether he is an envoy of the Ming Palace or an attached sect, he will be beaten when people come. โ
"Hmph, it's the same as the truth, I see that you are almost scared out of urine on the sacred mountain, not to mention anything else, who can you beat in this carriage?" The short old man sneered at the bald man, and also participated in their discussion, "Don't forget, although Yongzheng's vitality is greatly damaged, the situation of your hall master is probably even worse than Yongzheng." The main generals of both sides will not be able to go out, and the next changes in the situation between the two halls will depend on whether your hall master's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, or Yongzheng is more scheming.
To tell the truth, the old man has lived in the world for such a long time, and every ten or eight years, a group of shocking geniuses will emerge out of nowhere, all of whom are rare in a hundred years. But I have seen too many such people, like a carp crossing a river. It's just that the heavens are jealous of the talents, and how many people can really survive after the big waves and sands? As for the way to survive in the world, your hall master is still too young, and there is still a long way to go compared to Yongzheng. โ
"If it is just for your own survival, just like you, you do the disdainful things of treachery and cruelty to the innocent, even if you survive, it is only a life in vain. Mokpo listened to them silently for a long time, and suddenly interjected after learning that Mount Kinabalu had been lost.
Several people didn't expect him to dare to speak, the bald man immediately changed his face, got up and was about to teach Mupu a lesson, but was restrained by Taoyu with his eyes, and sat back stupidly, "Count your kid lucky today, I'll give Momota girl a face." โ
The one-armed man couldn't help but laugh heartily when he heard Mopo's words: "Sister Taoyu, this person you brought back is really interesting, I like it!"
Mu Pu actually had his own calculations in his heart, and these people talked about the war with the Ming Hall envoy clan in front of him in the carriage, and they did not shy away from it, nor did they hide their faces like the black-robed people in the Seven Birds City. And there are only two reasons why they do this, one is that he is already a dead man in their eyes, so they don't mind these things.
From the beginning of the moment, Mokpo noticed that the temperature in this carriage had been very high, and looking out of the small window, he could see the unique barren scene of southern Xinjiang, but it was slightly different from what he had seen before. There are many brownish-red rocks, some of which have lost their original shape due to long-term weathering, and have been polished into pagoda-like or pin-shaped by the wind. Kipo remembered that Momotama had told him earlier that she was from [Red Rock Castle], and if she was not mistaken, this should be the place.
So the second possibility that Mokpo guessed was that they were not far from the base camp of the Hades Temple now, and the black-robed people no longer needed to worry about these and those problems.
Sure enough, their carriage came to a halt, followed by the sound of machinery rumbling, like a treasure trove that had been sealed for thousands of years was reopened. The carriage then moved again, and through the small window, Mokpo saw that they had just passed through the entrance of a cave, and the light around them suddenly dimmed a lot without the sunlight, and after a while, the rumbling sound came again, presumably the door of the cave was closed again, and they entered the [Red Rock City].
[Red Rock City] is probably the most unusual city on the continent. It was also a product of natural weathering, and from the outside it looked like a huge flat stone pier, standing alone in the middle of the barrenness. However, the wonderful thing is that this giant stone pier turned out to be hollow, and I don't know who accidentally entered it first and discovered another world inside this stone pier. What's even more incredible is that people later found water sources and a large amount of mineral deposits buried in its ground, and people flocked to it, and a small city was slowly established.
As a small city famous for its rich mineral resources, [Chiyan City] is less than one-tenth of the size of Seven Bird City, and it is not even as good as one of the urban areas of Seven Bird City. The most prosperous part of the city is naturally the mining industry, and nine out of ten families in the city are engaged in mineral-related work. And because of the large amount of underground minerals that have been mined for many years, the underground passages of [Red Rock City] have formed a criss-crossing network.
The reason why the Temple of Hades chose this place as their hiding place in the first place was precisely because of this.
And as it turned out, they made the right choice. The people of the Ming Hall and the envoys had discovered the people of the Hades Hall hidden in the [Red Rock City] decades ago, and they sent troops to clear them several times, but they all made them slip through the net. With the intricate underground network and the already mixed environment in southern Xinjiang, it is really easy for most of the people in the Hades Temple who are fugitives to escape the pursuit.
After all these years of operation, the Hades Temple has actually controlled the entire [Red Rock City], trading with the outside world through mineral resources on the surface, and has been expanding this underground kingdom behind the scenes, accumulating their own strength.
The passage inside the cave was obviously not as bright as the outside, but the temperature inside was much cooler than in the sun, and Mokpo was not particularly used to this dim environment for a while, but he could clearly feel that they had been walking downward. Originally, Mokpo thought that he was about to get off the car after entering the cave, but he didn't expect them to walk in the passage of this cave for half a day.
"With this time, you can go around Seven Bird City," Mupu couldn't help but be surprised by the scale of [Red Rock City] in his heart. He had heard that it was just a small city rich in minerals, but as they went deeper, Mokpo felt that the underground of [Red Rock City] might be even more extensive than he thought.
After a long while, the carriage finally stopped, and the group got off the carriage one after another after the long journey, and Mokpo was also led out of the car by Taoyu. After getting out of the car, Mu Pu found that they were indeed not alone, and there were many black-robed people from the Hades Temple who had also come down from several cars.
Only then did Mu Pu see that they were not in a carriage at all, and it was a great king with a foot worm that had been pulling their carriage forward.
Mokpo had only seen descriptions of it in ancient books before. Today is also the first time I have seen a real thing in reality.
The king is flattened with seven pairs of legs, and its back is covered with a hard, scaly shell, usually ranging from thirteen to seventeen segments, and the scales are interlocking from head to tail, like a shield covering its body. It also has compound eyes composed of nearly 4,000 flat eyes, and its vision will not be affected even in the dim environment underground. Although the king is not a spirit animal, such a big one is also a relatively rare species, and the coachman used to make this underground is indeed very suitable, I don't know where the Hades Temple came from.
Mupu was thinking about it when a young man in brocade walked down the carriage in front of them, followed by a middle-aged man with a giant sword on his back.
Mu Pu just glanced behind him and felt a little frightened, "This kind of aura is exactly the same as Lord Yongzheng during the Ming Temple Divine Codex! It's simply terrifying, is he the hall master of the Hades Temple?"
As if feeling Mokpo's gaze, he turned to look back at him, and there was a breathtaking feeling in his eyes, as if it penetrated directly into Mokpo's heart. Mu Pu hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at Ming again, and turned to look at Taoyu, "Taoyu, where did you catch this kid?"
Taoyu hurriedly bowed down and replied respectfully, "I got lost while on a mission in Guiyuan City, and I happened to run into him, so I asked him to show me the way, and then brought him back by mistake all the way." โ
Shen smiled slightly, "This is really an unexpected gain, turn around and take him to the Divine Mountain and hand it over to Lin Tong, just take it as a thank you gift from Lin Tong for blocking the Ming Palace guards for me, he will definitely like this gift I gave him." โ
