Chapter 57: The City of Seals
The castle was in flames, purple flames blending with green bronze. The powerful Purple Flame slowly melted the surface of the city wall, burning all the intricately carved carvings. And those "bronze men" who had just returned the murder were all slowly withering in the purple fire at this moment, and finally turned into a puddle of bronze water.
Xuanyuan Yu sighed and looked at the city wall as if it had suffered countless heavy blows, and it was full of holes, and there were no traces of its original depiction. He sighed and shook his head: "It's a pity, it's a pity." It's a shame that such a great art of grace was burned down like this. ”
Yuan Fei shook his head and stood behind him: "It's okay if it's burned, do you want to be trapped under the corner of the city and slowly shot to death?
Xuanyuan Yu didn't want to talk nonsense with this thick-lined man, he couldn't figure out how a person who was a noble prince could turn a blind eye to the destruction of a precious work of art. He can only describe the man behind him as an idiot.
The door was opened with a bang, and the shadow of the emperor in white with black ash standing behind the gate. The sealed city is in front of everyone's eyes, and there is nothing to stop the godkillers.
"It's so good, you really deserve to be an elite disciple of this family's academy, it seems that this is the head of Tongtian who understands heaven and earth, and specially sent you to assist us." Lin Wuxian crawled out of a riverbed, looking at his clean appearance, he didn't look like he had escaped in embarrassment.
It seemed that he had just pulled a bench and sat in a corner, quietly waiting for the people of the Heavenly Dao Academy to open this path for him.
Long Yunzhou stood beside Huangfu Ying and looked at Lin Wuxian hatefully: "The timing of this bastard's appearance is really punctual, I didn't see him when the fight was in full swing, but now he is alive." ”
Huangfu Ying didn't speak, his cold eyes stared straight at Lin Wuxian. He faintly felt that something was wrong, from the time he entered the Yongdao until he got here, he seemed to be led by Lin Wuxian by the nose.
Wind Forest Villa lost a lot of villagers, and their corpses were neatly arranged in a row. They were all pierced in the chest by bronze arrows, and as for those Zhuang Ding who were blown to pieces by the fire dragon bullet, there was no way to count them at all.
Lin Wuxian took Lin Ruhuo to look at the dead Zhuang Ding, turned his head and walked towards the open city gate. He didn't even say hello to the elite disciples of his own family who opened this door, and all that was left in his eyes was the world behind the city gate.
"Now I don't have a good impression of this guy at all, how can this guy become an elder of the outer gate?" Xuanyuan Yu approached Huangfu Ying, looking at Lin Wuji's back a little disgusted.
"Be careful, I always feel like we've opened a door for the demons. Huangfu Ying was also looking at Lin Wuxian's back, Lin Wuxian who was surrounded by countless Zhuang Ding looked lonely and terrifying.
"What do you mean?" Xuanyuan Yu frowned.
"Don't you think it's all for us?" Huangfu Ying said coldly, "The blood sacrifice in front of the gate of the Holy City, and the bronze soldiers on this city wall, seem to be tailor-made for us. ”
"Understood. Xuanyuan Yu nodded: "No matter what happens below, let's leave here immediately if we find Zixiao Tinder." ”
The team passed through the city gate and entered the sealed city, and the brightly armored team seemed to have returned to a certain moment in ancient times, and there was also such a team neatly entering the city. Behind them, the earth was red with blood.
A huge city appeared in the eyes of everyone, this sealed city has always been a myth, even Lin Wuxian has not seen its true face with his own eyes.
Standing on the thoroughfare that could accommodate ten carriages side by side, everyone felt ashamed of themselves. This is the city of God, this is the city of the ancient king.
After being sealed for an unknown number of years, it still stands like a pearl on the earth.
There is no darkness here, and purple flames light up this forgotten world. The towering bronze pillars depict hideous beasts, and the roaring beasts seem to break through the restraints and soar to the sky. Purple mermaid lamps burned at the top of the bronze pillars, and the wide road stretched out endlessly.
Long Yunzhou looked stupidly at the front of the road, a sky-high tower stood in the middle of the city. He had been to this place, and he had come with that mysterious and beautiful Leng Rou. Leng Rou had told him that the name of the tower was the Tower of Babel.
"What a magical and magnificent place. Xuanyuan Yu sighed and touched the bronze pillar on the side of the road, the carving of this pillar was obviously a level higher than the stones on the city wall.
This pillar was not carved by a craftsman little by little with tools, but was cast in one go using the most pure power of fire. It's not just a perfect work of art, it's a sign of power and authority.
What kind of person could possess that terrifying power of fire? Xuanyuan Yu was surprised to find that the ten bronze pillars in a row were all identical, not even the slightest difference. Everything was telling him that there was once a person here who could use the ultimate power of fire to forge all the bronze statues in the entire city at once with his profound cultivation.
He looked up, and he couldn't see the end of the city. The city is unbelievably large, and it is simply beyond the reach of manpower.
"Look, what's on the roof?" Someone suddenly yelled in horror, and Xuanyuan Yu looked up, and there was a huge shadow crouching on the roof. The purple flames could not shine all of them, and the green luster shimmered slightly.
Many people already have long swords in their hands, and they can't breathe with nervousness. Everyone had already learned the skills of those terrible "bronze men" on the city wall, and suddenly they saw something strange, and everyone's heart was extremely nervous.
"Don't be nervous, those are just cornices. Just something that directs the rain on a rainy day. Lin Wuxi's roar overpowered everyone's panicked shouts, echoing faintly in the city.
This kind of thing is ordinary, but as long as it is a famous big family or royal family on the Dragon Soul Continent, there will be some cornice beasts on the house. It is not only the work of guiding rainwater, but also a totem of warding off evil spirits and fire prevention.
Xuanyuan Yu took a closer look at the shadows in the corner of the house by the firelight, and sure enough, it was a flying beast crouching in the corner. It's just that it's more than three times larger than the cornices on a normal house, and its tightened wings cling to its back. The green eyes are scary to look at, but no matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary carving.
"Boss, those things won't move, right?" Long Yunzhou stood beside Xuanyuan Yu in fear, and as far as the eye could see, there were several cornice beasts on almost every roof. It would not be a joke if these things moved like the "bronze men" on the city walls.
"Maybe, this place is full of weirdness, even if it moves, it's normal!" Yuan Fei nodded solemnly.
"Big brother, can you shut up? You don't need to express your opinion at this critical moment. "Long Yunzhou said in his heart that there is your crow's mouth everywhere, if the things on it really move, the first to fill the belly of these monsters.
The people who entered the city had quieted down, and most of the people here were Zhuang Ding of Fenglin Villa. They were well-trained, and even if a moving monster did appear, they would remain quiet after hearing Lin Wuxi's words.
Huangfu Ying came to the front of the line with the people from the Heavenly Dao Academy and asked Lin Wuxian, "Elder Lin, the city has already entered. We are not very interested in your God Butcher plan, and now we just want to quickly find the Zixiao Flame and return to our lives. ”
Lin Wuxian looked at Huangfu Ying deeply, he had already had a detailed plan, which was to use this group of elite disciples of the Heavenly Dao Academy. Just now, he also saw the strength of the Huangfu Shadow, and he was about to start the God Slaughter Plan, how could he easily let them run away at this time.
"Imperial nephew, do you see the lights in this city?" Lin Wuxian suddenly smiled and pointed to the bronze pillar on the side of the road.
"See!" Huangfu Ying couldn't figure out what this guy was thinking.
"There isn't any air here, and not even mermaid oil is likely to burn for a long time. They can survive 10,000 years without extinguishing because there is a purple fire here. Zixiao Flame affects all the fire sources here, as long as Zixiao Flame is there, there will never be darkness here. Lin Wuxian smiled sincerely.
Long Yunzhou frowned and said, "Didn't you say that the Zixiao Flame is the treasure of your Lin family? Listening to what you said, it seems that you have never owned it at all, and the Zixiao Flame has always been hidden here?"
Lin Wuxian laughed: "This is our family's wealth, something left to us by our ancestors." So whether it's in the Wind Forest Villa or here, the Zixiao Flame is the treasure of our Lin family, is this wrong?"
Long Yunzhou was speechless for a moment, this damn place looked very weird, and he had been here before. Lin Wuxian's words seemed to be decadent and tempting, and his intuition told him that he shouldn't trust this old bastard, but there was a voice in his body that urged him to move forward, move forward. It was as if there was an old friend waiting for him in the unknown world ahead.
This was a silent contest, and Lin Wuxian looked at the elites of the Heavenly Dao Academy with a smile like a spring breeze. Huangfu Ying and the others could only stare at this outer gate elder, and there was nothing they could do.
"Elder Lin, how to get the Zixiao Flame, just say it. "There is no way, Huangfu Ying asked coldly.
"It's simple, just follow us. Didn't I tell you a long time ago, Zixiao Flame illuminates the lonely world for God, so Zixiao Tinder is near God. It doesn't matter if you don't want to kill the gods, but if you want to find Zixiao Tinder, you can only follow me. Lin Wuxian seemed to have eaten them, and his words were very affirmative.
"Okay, that's it. Huangfu Ying nodded heavily: "We'll go with you to find that god!"
