Chapter 64: The Ghost of the Holy Tower I
The hallway was silent, and there was no end in sight for a long time. There is no movement of air here, the purple fire in the mouth of the bronze beast head burns quietly, and the giant tower that has been sealed for thousands of years survives the vicissitudes of life in loneliness and silence.
Lin Wuxian's right eye was beating very much, and even if he cultivated high, he couldn't carve the beating of his eyelids. Legend has it that if the right eyelid keeps jumping, it is a sign of impending disaster.
Lin Wuxian wanted to laugh, he was already in the center of the worst disaster in his life, what could be more terrible than the place he was standing now.
"Father, why don't you leave?" Lin Rufeng looked at Lin Wuxian with some puzzlement, he had been standing in front of this corridor for almost half an hour.
When he entered the Tower of Babel before, he did not hesitate for a moment, and led everyone to the second floor of the Tower of Babel quickly, and the path seemed to have been walked thousands of times, without even a half-minute pause.
But facing the corridor on the second floor, which was no longer ordinary, Lin Wuxian stopped. Lin Rufeng looked left and right, and he couldn't see anything strange about this corridor.
"Yes, you can't be so excited that you are about to see you, are you ready to retreat?" Yuan Fei said on the side, he was still thinking about Long Yunzhou and them. Although Lin Wuxian's decision was very despicable and shameful, it was made with great disdain by people like him. But in the face of the overall situation, he also had to compromise with Lin Wuxian.
At this time, Lin Wuxian even his face was jumping, and his voice was a little trembling and said, "This is the maze of the second layer." ”
"Lost?" Lin Rufeng and Yuan Fei exclaimed almost at the same time, and the purple-robed man on the side quietly cowered in his robe. Since entering the Holy City, he has never said a word, as if he had become mute.
According to the texts, the second floor of the Tower of Babel is a complex labyrinth, with countless guards secretly guarding it in the middle. Anyone who dares to infringe on the royal power will lose their way when they enter the labyrinth, and will eventually be killed by the guards hiding in the shadows. Lin Wuxian paused word by word: "No one has ever escaped!"
Lin Wuxian said it was true, but no one believed that this ordinary corridor could be some kind of maze! Shouldn't the maze be like a maze with countless forks in the road?
"You don't believe it?" Lin Wuxian turned his head to look at the people behind him, the Tower of Babel was so big that it would not be a problem to stuff tens of thousands of people at the same time. It's just that at this time, nearly half of the people have not reached the second floor, and only about 5,000 people have gathered behind Lin Wuxian.
They rushed into the Tower of Babel with such open fire, and they were about to rush to the top of the tower and stab at the sleeping god who seemed to be a marquee. Not to mention the sleeping god, even the awakened god was cut more than 10,000 times and turned into scum.
But now they're stuck in a place that looks like a long corridor but is actually called a maze, which is, who would believe it.
Lin Wuxian smiled coldly and nodded to Yuan Fei: "Lord Wang, I know that there are many capable people in the East China Sea, and the people who cultivate the truth are beyond the reach of my Fenglin Villa. Since you don't believe it, you might as well try it first, presumably with the great talent of the prince, you will never fall into it. ”
Yuan Fei snorted: "Let me explore the way to die, just say it, shoot so many sycophants and use it for a ball." ”
Even so, Yuan Fei's competitive personality still prevailed. He nodded to the few white-clothed people behind him, and immediately came out five white-clothed fluttering masters to follow him.
Yuan Fei's cultivation had already entered the Illusory God Realm, even higher than Lin Wuxian's cultivation. The Cold Ice True Qi is proud of the East China Sea Kingdom, and even his elder brother is inferior to his younger brother in terms of the cultivation of the Cold Ice True Qi.
So he has always been very arrogant and doesn't take anything seriously. Not to mention that it is just a maze that does not seem to be dangerous, it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, and he can go crazy and break through.
The six of them slowly walked deeper into the hallway. One step, two steps, three steps............ The people of the East China Sea Country walked cautiously at every step, for fear that one would step on some mechanism carelessly.
Walking out of the three zhang distance, everything is calm. The lights on both sides of the corridor were as bright as ever, the flames burned quietly, and the mermaid oil provided fuel that could not be burned for thousands of years, illuminating the faces of everyone in the East China Sea.
"Lin Wuxian, this is what you call a maze? Lao Tzu is standing and talking to you now, nothing at all, have you taken the wrong medicine or have you done too much of it? Come up with this kind of nonsense to deceive us?" Yuan Fei laughed at Lin Wuxian contemptuously, and took a few big steps forward as if he was provocative, and even jumped up and down, teasing Lin Wuxian in his two-hundred-and-five.
Lin Wuxian, who was standing in place, had a blue and white face on his face, he hated Yuan Fei's public ridicule of him, and he was also wondering why there was no problem with the maze?
The classical book handed down by his family clearly states that the second floor is a long corridor, but what is hidden under the corridor is a labyrinth that can confuse people. Those who have ill intentions and disrespect for the king will slowly show anxious and other expressions when they walk on it, and eventually they will lose their way and be killed by the guardians who hide in the shadows.
As for how this labyrinth can lead people astray, it is not written in the book. Because the ancestors of his Lin family had never come to this maze at all, only those who had been summoned by the king could walk this path. It was also a way for the ancient royal court to prevent assassination by Assassins.
Lin Wuxian was a little confused, and the purple-robed man on the side couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Senior brother, could it be that you remember something wrong?" ”
"From the moment we entered the gates of the Holy City, everything was exactly as recorded in that book, even the same as what the monsters were supposed to do. Shouldn't we believe in the precious treasures left to us by our ancestors? That is the only guarantee we have for killing God. Lin Wuxian whispered to the purple-robed man, but his voice was firm and unquestionable.
The purple-robed man nodded, obviously on this point, he and Senior Brother had the same opinion: "But Senior Brother, it seems that there should be nothing wrong now." The hour is near, and we cannot afford to delay here. ”
Lin Wuxian chuckled in his heart, calculating the time, it was getting closer and closer to the awakening of that god, if he delayed here any longer, I am afraid that when they reached the top of the tower, only the god's butcher's knife would wait for them.
He gritted his teeth fiercely: "The disciples of Fenglin Mountain Villa obey the order, move forward carefully with a knife! No matter what you encounter, you will kill the gods when you encounter them, and you will punish the demons when you encounter them!"
"Whoa!"
Not only the Zhuang Ding of Fenglin Villa, but also the Royal Forest Army of the Yue Royal Family also agreed loudly. In fact, whether it is Fenglin Villa or Yue Kingdom, they all belong to the retainers of the Lin family. And Lin Wuxian is the patriarch of the Lin family, and he has undoubted power over life and death for all the people here.
The royal forest army is in front, and the disciples of Fenglin Villa are behind. Silver armor sets off the World Tree unique to Windforest Villa, and the steel knives point to the end of the hallway. The murderous aura spread, and the purple flames on both sides of the corridor began to beat slowly.
Yuan Fei and his subordinates got out of the way, and let these pathfinders go first. Although he looked down on Lin Wuxian's character of always standing in the shadows looking for someone to be a substitute for the dead ghost, he still had to nod secretly when he looked at the resolute expressions on the faces of these young men who walked by.
Suddenly, the line stopped, and the lights on both sides of the corridor stopped swaying at the same time, and the quiet faint glow flashed green. A man covered in black blocked their way. He came silently, and the Guards at the forefront didn't even see where he came from, and he just appeared without warning, like a ghost with no roots.
"This is not the place for you to be, go back. You only have one chance, to go back honestly and wait to be the king's subjects. "The man in black is full of energy, and obviously not a monster like a ghost.
The guards looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"Kill me, kill him, don't listen to him. God has awakened, and we have nothing but death. Lin Wuxian's voice came from far behind, the corridor was full of people, and he was blocked behind. But he still heard the words of the man in black clearly.
The head of the house has already spoken, that is, he has given the final order. No matter how frightened the guards were at the moment, they all raised their steel swords, their blood surging upwards, and their armor flashing. They rushed to the man in black desperately!
Suddenly, the running Guards smelled a faint scent. The purple flames on both sides were beating wildly, and a mist visible to the naked eye was emitted from the fire, instantly enveloping the people running in the corridor.
"Quick, back off, it's smoke!" Yuan Fei took a puff and felt that something was wrong, and quickly covered his mouth and nose with the corner of his clothes. By this time, the road had been blocked, and he and his five followers had to step on the heads of people in the hallway and step backwards.
It was only a brief moment of effort, and the fog enveloped everyone in the hallway. The firelight softened again, but the eyes of everyone in the hallway were no longer right.
Their eyes were sometimes confused and sometimes longing, their faces were smiling and crying, and some even knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, saying some words of repentance in their mouths.
The cold voice of the man in black came from afar, cold and emotionless: "I said, there is only one chance! ”
The last word of death was deliberately accentuated, and the people in the hallway suddenly went crazy. They slashed at each other with knives, as if they had seen the enemy of their father's killer.
The steel knife slashed into the bones, and the bones shattered with a tooth-aching sound. Blood sprayed everywhere, and the entire corridor turned into a living hell in an instant.
When the desperate people cut down the steel knives, they began to fight with their fists, and when their arms were cut off, they used their feet, and when they had no feet, they crawled on the ground and bit their enemies with their mouths. Everyone is desperate to kill the person closest to them, and then kill everyone.
The people standing outside the corridor watched in shock, and the people who had been brothers a moment ago were fighting together, and finally ended with one of them having his head cut off.
Lin Wuxian swallowed hard, and said with difficulty: "Now you know why this place is called a maze." ”
Yuan Fei spat fiercely: "That damn bastard, I'm going to kill him." ”
