Chapter 230: Under the Millennium Mystery City
The speed of the bamboo basket slowed down significantly, and slowly approached the golden palace with heavy eaves, in front of the palace was a large square made of hundreds of wooden planks one zhang wide, the planks were high and low on the huge branches, and the rows of rows of green-robed soldiers standing in the large square were full of green-robed soldiers holding weapons. ≈ ≈ point≈ small ≈ said, ww¢w.23w¤x.co≥m
Sitting in the bamboo basket and looking up in the air, I saw that there were arm-wide gaps between the wooden boards, and the narrow light penetrated through the gaps, and I felt that the person above was shaky, as if he was about to fall down at any time.
Before Zhu Chongba could see clearly, the bamboo basket had reached the end point, and it turned out that there were more than a dozen huge winches installed on the big platform with huge whole timber, each winch was the size of a house, and there were two big bamboo baskets connected to each winch, and there were dozens of green-clothed soldiers standing next to the winch, and they took turns to twist the big bamboo basket up from the foot of the mountain.
As soon as the big bamboo basket came up, it shook violently. Ma Xiuying opened her eyes with a "sigh", first saw the blue sky and white clouds overhead, exclaimed, and almost jumped up at once, startling a few green-clothed soldiers next to her, and stared at her for a while.
Ma Xiuying also reacted again in an instant, she and Zhu Chongba were still in the hands of these monsters, she couldn't help but be disappointed again, looked at Zhu Chongba sitting opposite, and glared at him.
The two green-clothed soldiers on the platform reached out at the same time, pulled the bamboo basket down and moved it forward, and fixed it firmly with a winch. Only then did a few people rush down from the big bamboo basket to the platform.
Walking to the platform, only to find that this large platform is not safer than the bamboo basket, the planks on the platform are very long, on the big branches, walking in the middle there will be trembling and shaking, plus the large gap between the planks, I feel that it is possible to fall down this abyss at any time.
Ma Xiuying screamed in fright, didn't dare to look down anymore, and grabbed Zhu Chongba's clothes tightly with both hands. Zhu Chongba was a little bolder, and he was still checking around to see if there was a chance to escape after a while.
The nine green-clothed soldiers didn't say a word, and took Zhu Chongba and Ma Xiuying straight to the palace with heavy eaves in the middle, and the soldiers and monsters along the way saw Zhu Chongba and Ma Xiuying, they were extremely curious, or watched from a distance, and those monsters were directly around to see, Zhu Chongba and Ma Xiuying were also used to it, and when they saw such a situation, they could only not see it.
After a while, he walked to the door of the palace, walked closer, and found that although this palace was only a single body, it looked much higher than the distant one, Zhu Chongba looked up, only to see the roof of the palace on the golden light, the owl kiss towering, and there were also fire wind people and a swinging beast on the eaves, just looking at this single palace, it seems to be no different from the palace compound.
As soon as they arrived at the door, a group of brocade-clothed soldiers came up, and the leader shouted, "Who is here? What is the matter to see the sect master?"
The green-clothed soldier who was escorting Zhu Chongba replied loudly: "Escort Zuo Sima to drive down the detachment, and the sect master found that these two people were suspicious in Shenmu Stream, so he deliberately took them down and listened to the fate of the sect master." ”
"Oh, there is such a thing?" The leading brocade-clothed soldier was obviously a little surprised, and hurriedly walked over a few steps, took a closer look at Zhu Chongba and the two, and then raised his head and said, "You take these two people to meet the sect master, there will be no danger, right?"
The green-clothed soldier shook his head again and again, and said loudly: "I don't know this, what the two of them said is really incredible, and we have no way to figure it out." ”
"I see. The brocade-clothed soldier slowly circled around Zhu Chongba and Ma Xiuying, and saw the black and white double swords on Zhu Chongba's back, "What is this? Why are you so careless?" As he spoke, the brocade-clothed soldier stretched out his hand to remove the flying sword on Zhu Chongba's back.
The black and white swords on his back were the only reliance on Zhu Chongba's escape, how could he be easily taken away, seeing that the brocade-clothed soldier reached over, instinctively turned to one side, and dodged.
"Why? dare to resist?" the brocade-clothed soldier's face sank, waved his hands, and shouted, "Take the sword off this guy's back for me." ”
At the sound of an order, several brocade-clothed soldiers behind him surrounded him, raised their swords and guns at the same time, surrounded Zhu Chongba in the middle, and ordered Zhu Chongba to hand over the black and white swords on his back.
Zhu Chongba knew that these soldiers were actually not powerful, but the powerful ones were those monsters without eyes, and now there were only a dozen soldiers around him, and there were no monsters around, which was really a good time to escape, but because of this, these two flying swords showed no signs of moving at all, and he couldn't command them, so he cursed in his heart.
Seeing that if he didn't hand over the black and white swords, he would soon die under the swords of these brocade-clothed soldiers, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth, take off the scabbard on his back, and hand it to the brocade-clothed soldier at the front.
The brocade-clothed soldier still looked at Zhu Chongba with suspicion, hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take it, lowered his head and held the double sword, turned it over and looked carefully, held the scabbard with his left hand, and made a slight effort with his right hand, he wanted to pull out the black sword, but who knew that the black sword did not move at all.
The brocade-clothed soldier was slightly startled again, looked down, and his right hand used seven or eight points of strength this time, thinking that the long sword was out of the sheath, but he didn't expect that the black sword was like just now, and there was no movement at all.
"Strange, is it because the pig iron is cast into one?" The brocade-clothed soldier blushed, handed the black sword to a person next to him, and only held the white sword, holding the scabbard in one hand, and exerting twelve points of strength in the other, and trying to pull the sword out of the sheath, it was still in vain.
"What the hell is this?" The brocade-clothed soldier was demoralized, and shouted to Zhu Chongba: "You pull out these two swords and show them to General Ben, General Ben wants to open his eyes and see what this thing is?"
Zhu Chongba shook his head and said in a low voice: "These two swords were given by a friend, and I can't pull them out myself." ”
"You!" The green-clothed soldier who had been holding Zhu Chongba and the two of them was furious, shouted, and was about to go up and pick Zhu Chongba and ask for clarification.
"Don't touch him. The purple-clothed soldier looked at the long sword in his hand, then at Zhu Chongba, and said in a deep voice: "I believe what he said, these two swords must not be his?"
"General, how can this guy believe what he says casually, why don't I wait and force him to pull out his sword and see what kind of sword it is. The green-clad warrior shouted.
"Nope. If these two swords were really his, I wouldn't have seen him here. The purple-clothed soldier shook his head and said, "These two swords are extraordinary, they are divine products, and the person who owns this sword must be a person who has cultivated to an extremely high level, not an ordinary man like the two of them." ”
"General, what now?" the green-clothed soldier nodded, and asked again.
"Now that the sect master is in the palace, let's take them to meet the sect master as soon as possible, and let the sect master send them both down. The brocade-clad soldier threw the other sword into the hands of the soldier next to him.
"Let's go!" Several green-clothed soldiers behind him pushed and shoved, pushing Zhu Chongba and Ma Xiuying and walking towards the palace in front of them.
"Please inform the sect master, the brocade guards ask to see, there is a suspicious person who has been taken down by us, please send the sect master down. The purple-clothed soldier said to the guard at the door, and it seemed that he had to report it layer by layer.
This time it was a pleasure, and it didn't take long for the guard soldier to come out and wave his hand to let the purple-clothed soldier take Zhu Chongba and Ma Xiuying in, while the others had to stay outside the gate.
The three of them followed the gatekeeper and walked into the hall step by step.
The hall is cool, the huge pillars are all logs that have not been peeled, Zhu Chongba looked carefully, those pillars are still alive trees, it turns out that the entire hall is built between the trees. On the column is a huge beam, also made of unpeeled logs, and the top is wrapped with green vines, I don't know how many years.
The main hall is very deep, dozens of zhang deep, and the two sides are also covered with the kind of green light in the tunnel, the green of the hall is miserable, and it feels gloomy, far less translucent than the outside.
There was no one in the huge hall, and as soon as the three of them walked into the hall a few steps, the guard guarding the door stopped, let the three of them stand in the empty hall, and he turned and went out.
Zhu Chongba and Ma Xiuying looked around to see what this mysterious sect master looked like, and after watching for a long time, they didn't see a single figure.
"Who are you two who dare to trespass on my Shenmu Stream?" the two of them asked as they looked around when a majestic voice suddenly seemed to come from mid-air.
"The two of us are under the command of Marshal Guo Zixing of the Righteous Army, she is the daughter of Marshal Guo Zixing, and below is Zhu Chongba, Marshal Guo's personal soldier. Zhu Chongba also knew where to speak, so he looked up at the roof and replied.
"What? Red Whisker!" The voice suddenly became louder, with a bit of shock and surprise, "Red Whisker, you have finally come to the old man, hahaha." ”
Although the palace was huge, the voice above the head laughed, and the planks under the feet of the earthquake were constantly shaking, and the huge columns and beams could be seen, swaying back and forth slightly.
"Red beard?" Zhu Chongba and Ma Xiuying looked at each other, not knowing what this invisible sect master was talking about. Ma Xiuying was bold, raised her head and said, "This sect master, who is the red beard?
The voice ignored Ma Xiuying at all, and continued to hum: "Red beard, you and I have a thousand appointments, the old man has finally waited for you again, oh, oh, yes, this time you actually look like this, the old man didn't recognize you at first." Ha ha. ”
The more Zhu Chongba and Ma Xiuying listened, the more they didn't know what to do, Zhu Chongba decided that this sect master had recognized the wrong person, and said loudly: "Sect Master, the two of us inadvertently broke into your land, and I really didn't want to offend each other, and I hope that the sect master will raise his noble hand and let the two of us out." ”
