Chapter 279: A City
Just as I was stretched thin, a muffled grunt suddenly sounded in my ears, and the surrounding sculptures stopped attacking, and stood there with the carving knife in hand.
In the middle of these sculptures, a beautiful man with a jade face stuck in his back with a carving knife in his back, blood kept spilling from the corners of his mouth, and he slowly fell. And the person who stabbed him in the back was the corpse monster Xu Ze who had been hiding before.
When Moyu commanded the sculpture to attack me, Xu Ze stretched out a tentacle and quietly walked around from behind him, and then stabbed Moyu in the back while he was unprepared.
"Why are you still stunned, let's go!" Xu Ze straightened up his soft body and rushed out without looking back with my head.
The water qilin followed closely, walked out of the door of the main hall, turned into a huge divine beast, leaned down and said eagerly, "Xiao Nan, the twelve halls of this underground palace have lost the head of the spirit of the hall, and the stone ladder will soon collapse. Come up, I'll fly up on your back! ”
I didn't have to walk up step by step, I was very happy, and I was busy crawling up to the water qilin's body, but when I turned my head, I saw Xu Ze's corpse monster's face full of smugness.
Seeing that I was sitting firmly, Xu Ze also attached his tentacles to the water qilin's body, making the water qilin look disgusting. But looking at the twelve halls of the underground palace that had begun to collapse and the endless stone steps, in the end, the water qilin still did not stop Xu Ze from climbing its turquoise body.
The water qilin stepped on the auspicious clouds, and slowly flew up next to the stone ladder that gradually collapsed and fell, I looked at the tentacles wrapped around the water qilin, frowned and asked, "Xu Ze, could it be that a carving knife can kill Moyu?" ”
The corpse monster with so many tentacles that it had no friends gave me a lazy look, "There's a drop of your essence blood on that carving knife." After I refine this drop of essence blood, it can be used as a weapon to kill ghosts, just like your blood whip. ”
I sighed, watching the exquisite stone staircase and beautiful hall turn into ruins, and I couldn't bear it, "Why do you have to kill Moyu?" And why did you show up last, and where did you go before? ”
Xu Ze snorted coldly, "You think I'm like you, I'm busy stealing food as soon as I enter the Hall of Bliss, I discovered the mystery of the twelve halls of the underground palace in a book in the hall." It turns out that the further the twelve halls of this underground palace go, the stronger the mana of the hall spirit will become. And you can't even cope with a group of sculptures, and you still want to walk through the twelve halls of the underground palace step by step, and you don't know if you have to go to the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon? ”
I have to admit that what he said is indeed reasonable, but why did the twelve halls of the underground palace collapse together with the ladder after Mo Yu died?
As if seeing my doubts, the water qilin replied without looking back as he flew upward, "Mo Yu is the head of the hall spirit of the twelve halls of the underground palace, and the illusion and eye barrier techniques on the twelve halls of the underground palace and the stone steps are all achieved by relying on his magic powers. ”
"So once Moyu died, then the stone ladder and the twelve halls of the underground palace lost their mana and collapsed one after another. Now that the dungeon has collapsed, we have insulted the last wish of the old man Taigong, and we can only do our best to protect you, the only heir. ”
The water qilin spoke in a very gentle voice, and it could be seen that it had been with Moyu for a long time, and they still had a deep relationship.
Xu Ze's face turned with a hint of vigilance, it seemed that he was afraid that Shui Qilin would settle accounts with him because he stabbed Moyu to death.
Because of me and the corpse monster Xu Ze sitting on my back, the speed of the water qilin's flight slowed down, and there were destroyed stone steps and halls along the way, which looked very desolate.
The water unicorn carried us for a long time, and finally put us at the top of the stone steps, it looked down at us and said eagerly, "Taigong's treasures are hidden underneath, you can jump down if you want to!" ”
With that, the water qilin jumped down first and disappeared into the mist. I looked at the bottomless cliff below and drummed in my heart. The blood jade bracelet on his hand was calmly dormant, and it seemed that there was no obstacle here.
The corpse monster controlled by Xu Ze walked to the edge of the cliff and winked at me, "How about it, go down with me?" ”
I shook my head, looked down in my heart, and let Xu Ze jump first.
He shrugged his shoulders indifferently, walked over to the stone staircase and said, "Look behind you." ”
When I looked back, I saw that the stone staircase had cracked at our feet, and soon the two of us would have no place to stand.
It was also a knife to stretch out my head, and it was also a knife to shrink my head, so I had to jump down with my eyes closed, but I didn't expect to step on the solid ground immediately.
When I opened my eyes, I saw the water unicorn standing aside, his green eyes full of smiles. I looked at the sky in confusion, only to see the blue sky and white clouds here, where is there any sea water and stone stairs?
What's going on? Didn't I just jump off that stone staircase?
Just as I was wondering, there was a sudden wave of water ripples in the sky above, and the corpse monster Xu Ze suddenly appeared from the void above, and then landed steadily on the ground.
He stood in front of me and looked up into the sky, his face showing the same confusion as mine, and then turned into exclamation, "This is a parallel space, this is too realistic." ”
"This is Taigong's mustard seed world, and after Taigong drove the crane immortal, he put the mustard seed world in the underground palace of the East China Sea. The twelve halls of the East China Sea Palace are actually to hide people's eyes and ears, and the real treasures are hidden in this mustard seed world. Without my guide, no one would have been able to find the entrance. ”
The water unicorn looked proud, and led us forward, only to see that in this mustard seed world, there are many strange flowers and plants, some of which I have only seen in books, and they are sky-high magic medicines. But in this mustard seed world, it is everywhere, like a dog's tail grass.
I don't know how long I walked, but a city appeared in front of me, the gate was towering, and the eaves and pavilions were very magnificent. I thought of the exotic herbs that were all over the ground, and swallowed my throat with difficulty, wondering what the city would be like.
The water qilin led Xu Ze and me forward, and the city gate opened with a "creak", only to see that the streets of the main city were wide enough to accommodate more than a dozen carriages running side by side, the houses on both sides of the street were beautifully bricked, and the shadows of the palace buildings could be faintly seen in the distance.
Strangely, there was no one in this city. Could it be that the prince didn't plan to let people live in this city when he built this city that day?
The water qilin led us to walk on the street, it looked around at the buildings on both sides, its eyes were kind and full of nostalgia, "When Taigong built this city, it was to leave a way back for the Jiang family. He understood that the general trend of the world was that if it was divided for a long time, it would be united and divided for a long time, so in order to prevent the Jiang family from being affected by the war in the future, he built such a city. If the war rages, the descendants of the Jiang family can move their families and take refuge in this city for a while. ”
I nodded suddenly and sighed that Mrs. Jiang was really thoughtful, this is a more beautiful place than Taoyuan Village.
Xu Ze listened to Shui Qilin's words, but let out a cold snort from his nose, and sneered, "The world is chasing fame and fortune, and the Jiang family is vying for fame and fortune in the troubled times, who wants to live an isolated life in this mustard seed world?" ”
No wonder it's empty, and no one has lived in it for thousands of years.
A look of shame appeared in the water qilin's beast pupils, "No, not everyone in the Jiang clan is a person who covets fame. It's just that Taigong placed the mustard seed world at the bottom of the East China Sea, and if you want to enter here, you must experience a very dangerous experience. ”
"Taigong just wants to hand over the mustard seed world to really capable people, so as not to fall into the hands of people with wrong minds, so he sent me and the head of the twelve halls of the underground palace to guard the underground palace, and only leave a few clues in the world."
Speaking of this, it sighed leisurely, "I didn't expect that because of this, the existence of the mustard seed world was gradually forgotten by the descendants of the Jiang family. ”
I touched the head of the water unicorn to comfort it, Jiang Taigong is a generation of amazing talents, and it is difficult for future generations to achieve such an ability as him, so it is normal to not find here.
"In this mustard seed world, is there really an elixir of immortality?" Since no one has entered this mustard seed world for thousands of years, then who knows if the legend of immortality really exists?
When Xu Ze heard my words, his face also showed a serious expression, and his two eyes looked at the water qilin with substance.
The water qilin muttered in Xu Ze's gaze for a while, and then slowly spoke, "If there is really an elixir in this world, then how can Taigong still drive the crane west?" ”
