Chapter 229: The Millennium Mystery City
The three white-clothed monsters behind listened to it and also muttered. The green-clothed soldier said to Zhu Chongba in a deep voice: "No matter where you come from, since you have come to Shenmu Stream, you have to go with us to see the general and let him decide your life and death." ”
"What general, what if we don't go?" Ma Xiuying exclaimed, "Why should your generals decide our life and death?"
Listening to Ma Xiuying's scolding, the green-clothed soldiers stepped forward at the same time, and the soldier in front of him said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid this can't help you, if you don't follow us, don't blame me for being rude!"
Zhu Chongba only felt that the black and white double swords behind him were buzzing louder and louder, almost about to break out of the sheath, knowing that these people were determined to use strength, and they were now in other people's territory, how could they call for a battle with others, the hero did not suffer the immediate loss, he arched his hand, and hurriedly said: "A few people are going to be angry, let's go with a few people." ”
"Zhu Chongba, you cowardly guy, Miss Ben doesn't listen to you. Where was Ma Xiuying in the back willing to listen, her eyebrows raised and she shouted loudly.
Those people didn't care about Ma Xiuying at all, and the nine green-clothed soldiers rushed up, unloaded Zhu Chongba's waist knife, and escorted the two to the depths of the platform.
The three white-clothed monsters saw that Zhu Chongba and the two of them were obedient, so it was no longer convenient, and they walked in front of everyone. Zhu Chongba saw that the three of them walked almost without feet, with fluttering sleeves, as if walking against the wind, I don't know if it was kung fu or really ghostly.
Zhu Chongba's appearance is not amazing, Ma Xiuying is just a weak little woman, these soldiers didn't take the two of them in their eyes at all, and they didn't ask much, they just pushed forward bustlingly.
After turning a few corners, seeing that he was getting closer and closer to those lights, Zhu Chongba looked up, couldn't help but gasp, and said in his heart: "Good guy, what kind of place is this?"
Ma Xiuying exclaimed even more, startling the three white-clothed monsters in front of her and looking straight back.
It turned out that in front of him was a large area of forest with no edge in sight, and every tree in the forest was extremely huge, and the trunk alone was enough for dozens of square circles, and a hundred people holding hands were estimated to be unable to surround it. Each tree has countless small branches, and each small branch is enough to have the thickness of a dozen people, and the small branches have divided into thousands of smaller branches, and each branch is covered with countless layers of green palm-sized leaves, and it is full of tangled and tangled bowl-mouthed ancient vines, and thousands of tentacles of ancient vines crawl everywhere, and they hang down again, and they can't see a little bit of skylight.
Countless huge ancient trees, countless thick branches, countless bowl-thick ancient vines, and countless palm-sized leaves form a magical and shocking tree world.
What really surprised Zhu Chongba and Ma Xiuying was that in this huge forest, almost every treetop had a wooden house with a length and width, and a height of more than one person, just like a huge bird cage hanging on the tree, and there was a light in each bird cage, crumbling, dotted with stars, thousands, I don't know how many. The lights in the distance that Zhu Chongba and Ma Xiuying saw were the lights in these countless tree houses.
The strangest thing is that there are faintly many people walking back and forth, one person walking alone, and several people walking together, as if shopping in the market, Zhu Chongba and Ma Xiuying couldn't help but sweat for the people above, for fear that one of these people would stand unstable and fall down.
Most of them are one wooden house hanging from a tree branch, and in the dark, there are two or more wooden houses hanging from the branches, just like a house on flat ground, with a single room, and a courtyard of the main house and the side room.
"Where is this?" After looking at the road for a while, Ma Xiuying sighed lowly, turned back to Zhu Chongba and sighed, "If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, I couldn't believe that there would be such a spectacle underground!"
Zhu Chongba was also amazed and couldn't help nodding. In his heart, he was thinking about the way to get out, but now these soldiers can't beat any of them themselves, let alone those white-clothed monsters, and the black and white swords are not something they can control randomly.
After a while, he came up with more than a dozen solutions, but when he thought about it carefully, none of them worked.
Ma Xiuying seemed to have completely forgotten her situation, looking back and forth with curiosity, and kept admiring, as if she was not captured, but came here to play.
After walking for a while, I came to the bottom of a tree in the middle, and the roots of this big tree were tangled, and I don't know how thick it was. It seems to be the largest tree in the forest. A soldier walked up to the tree, not knowing where he had pressed a mechanism.
After a while, I only heard the sound of copper bells on my head, and a few small black dots hung down from the tree quickly, and after a while, I saw clearly that it was two bamboo baskets.
The two bamboo baskets are huge enough to seat a dozen people. The nine soldiers were divided into two groups, Zhu Chongba and Ma Xiuying made a bamboo basket, four soldiers were escorted, and the other five soldiers sat in another bamboo basket. A soldier pulled the copper bell on the bamboo basket, and after a short time, the bamboo basket was pulled up from above, and Zhu Chongba watched himself rise into the air and slowly rose up.
The three white-clothed monsters did not get on the bamboo basket, and when the two bamboo baskets rose more than ten zhang high, the three monsters seemed to turn into three puffs of white smoke and flew up around the tree quickly, as if a weightless paper kite was pulled up by an invisible silk thread.
Zhu Chongba saw it in his eyes, and was even more sure that these white-clothed monsters were not human beings at all, if it weren't for the black and white double swords, he and Ma Xiuying might have died in the hands of the white-clothed monster at the beginning.
The two bamboo baskets rose higher and higher, and at this time they were far away from the ground, and everything in the ground just now was already hidden in the darkness. The wooden houses on both sides of the branches were already close in front of them, and when the two of them looked around, they saw that there were indeed people living in the wooden houses, and there were even simple beds, tables and chairs inside.
The surroundings were full of green-armored soldiers, going back and forth as if they were patrolling. There are more people wearing all kinds of clothes, they look like those monsters in white, the monsters in variegated clothes seem to live in wooden houses, they see Zhu Chongba and Ma Xiuying in the bamboo basket, they seem to be very curious, they floated over, gathered around the bamboo basket to watch from afar, but did not dare to approach.
At first, Ma Xiuying was still scared, and her slender and cold little hand couldn't help but hold Zhu Chongba's big hand, Zhu Chongba held Ma Xiuying's little hand and tightened it gently. Ma Xiuying felt her big hand tighten, and when she raised her head, she just saw Zhu Chongba's gaze, and her eyes were facing each other, Ma Xiuying couldn't help blushing to her neck and lowered her head. For a moment, I forgot about the hundred and ten monsters around me.
Zhu Chongba also had an indescribable feeling at this time, inexplicably falling into such a secret passage, and being escorted by monsters and not knowing where to go, and not knowing whether he was dead or alive. But at this time, the eldest lady's slender hand grasped in her hand, and she could feel her cold and scared, and at the same time, her head was gently leaning on her arms, her hair was pouring on her shoulders, and a few of them rubbed her cheeks, itchy, and bursts of light fragrance were absent, if it weren't for this strange danger, Zhu Chongba would really be intoxicated in the gentle countryside.
The baskets kept rising, going higher and higher, until at last there were no wooden houses to be seen, only endless branches and leaves. The two didn't know where to go or how high they had to go, they were tired and tired along the way, Ma Xiuying couldn't help but close her eyes, leaned on Zhu Chongba's shoulder, and fell asleep.
Zhu Chongba was also drowsy, but he didn't dare to sleep, he was still thinking about what opportunity to escape from here with Ma Xiuying, but he couldn't be buried in this kind of place in no apparent way.
But now in the hundred-foot-high bamboo basket, where is there any way to think of anything, I can only wait for a while to get to the place, and then adapt to the situation to see if there is any way to get out.
Helpless for a while, I saw that several soldiers around me were also staggering, and when they were halfway asleep, they closed their eyes and pretended to rest, but in fact, they kept pricking up their ears and listening to the surrounding situation.
It took about a stick of incense to rise, and I only felt the cool breeze blowing around me. Zhu Chongba was overjoyed, "Could it be that you came up from the ground?" Hurriedly opened his eyes and saw that his group was sitting in a big bamboo basket, still climbing up, but the surrounding scene had changed.
I don't know when, my group has gone out of the ground, but they are still in the branches of the big trees, but the dense branches and leaves have revealed a faint light, which is the sunshine that I have not seen for a long time.
The gentle breeze on both sides blew the branches of the trees, and Zhu Chongba couldn't help but take a big breath of fresh air, feeling as if he was a person from another world. I looked down and saw Ma Xiuying's beautiful eyes closed, her long eyelashes drooped down, her tall nose bridge was plummeting, her breathing was long and even, obviously she was not injured, but her thin lips were chapped and white, and the water and rice had not been eaten for two days。
Thinking of this, Zhu Chongba hurriedly looked away and observed the surrounding situation again.
Gradually, I saw a huge black shadow on the branch above my head, and slowly it seemed that it was a large wooden house with double eaves on the tree, which was resplendent and brilliant, shining golden in the sunlight under the shadow of the tree, and there were dozens of huge wooden houses of all sizes around the big wooden house, each big wooden house was as big as a dozen wooden houses that I had just seen, and the lower side of the branch was built into a platform and steps with a wooden board more than one zhang wide, and Zhu Chongba looked up from below, as if looking at the palace in the sky.
