The first floor of the tower is so spacious that it is equivalent to a cinema for 100 people.

The ground is paved with neatly cut rock and polished so smooth that there are no gaps in sight.

The canopy is about five meters high, and four stout pillars support the beams. Its pillar body is red, and the stone carving of different beasts makes the chassis. Strangely enough, about one-third of the upper part of the column is wrapped in copper sheets, and although the surface is shiny, it is pitted.

The canopy area between the four pillars is covered with a meter of copper sheets, and the surface is also pitted.

On the east and west sides, there is a curled staircase leading to the second floor. At a height of three meters in the stone wall, there are three holes next to each other every two meters, the size of a washbasin, in three rows. The function is not only ventilation, the holes are inlaid with smooth copper sheets, and the sunlight that penetrates through the three holes is concentrated in a square circle, which is very bright.

Below each row of holes is an oversized bronze mirror with a concave surface. And there are wheels at the bottom of the shelf made of wood, Qin Xuan immediately knew its function, ran over to wipe the dust off the copper mirror, pushed it under the pillar of light, adjusted the angle, the light was refracted through the concave mirror, transmitted to the ceiling and the pillar, and then the light was scattered by the potted copper sheet, and the whole space was lit up.

If all the copper sheets are polished and the dust on the ground is washed away, it will be even more brilliant.

At this time, you can see a large podium with five steps on the north side, and four people, three men and one woman, life-size, are carved on the wall behind it, all dressed as ancients.

There are three stone tripods under the stage, which are large enough to fit a whole adult dog.

The one on the right is carved with a one-horned monster with simple lines, the middle is a tiger head with two sharp horns, and the left is carved with a bird with its wings outstretched.

Qin Xuan saw that the dingzhong was full of incense ashes, and said in his heart, could it be that the tower is a sacrificial venue?

According to the ancient system, this kind of lobby-level place is a palace, a noble ancestral hall, a special place such as a priest's office, and the building of civilians is not allowed to exceed four meters high.

But there is a high platform here, there are portraits, there are large tripods, and it is made of golden light, not to say that it is a place to worship, it doesn't make sense.

At this time, Gongsun Zhi came to the high platform and found a five-meter-long bundle of cloth hanging from the roof near the wall. At first, I thought it was a blind for a portrait, but after a few more looks, I found that the material revealed by the cloth roll was red satin, and although the dust had fallen, its color was still bright.

To be able to use such a good satin, it can't be an ordinary curtain.

The wooden shaft in the center of the roll is also equipped with wooden rollers at both ends, which are pulled by yellow ropes. The rope was hidden behind the side wall of the relief, and when Gongsun Zhi held it in his hand, he found that the rope was made of mulberry silk, and although it was only as thick as chopsticks, it was still very tough.

Qin Xuan couldn't help but sigh, "Isn't this the current hand-pulled roller blind, it turns out that the ancients have already played with it!" ”

The two of them lowered the cloth scroll together, revealing a calligraphy and painting about three meters high.

In the middle of the painting is a map, with small seals inscribed on both sides.

Picture right: At the end of the wheel of life, good and evil do not stand, the dragon turns into a snake, and the name is Cang. Our generation has the benevolence of heaven and the art of immortal gates, which should benefit the common people. However, the way of heaven is like this, and it cannot be violated. But if the rebellion of the snake is not eliminated, it will surely destroy the lives of the people. Our generation takes the world's treasure, 30 years to open the true spirit cave mansion, the end of the earth gang wheel momentum, the heavenly stone holds its breath, and the snake is here. With his disciples, he brought more than 100 people, divided into five directions, and guarded them for generations. More than 50 Jiazi, the snake is annihilated, the true spirit is scattered, and future generations will have the light of day. Abide by the law here, and it must not be replaced. The five parties guard the land, and the generations must not expand or change their appearance. The head of each family shall not change the house, and shall be replaced from generation to generation. The forbidden land of the secluded mountains is not allowed to enter if you are not the head of the house, remember, remember.

Left: Green bamboo forest, the land of wood, the forest is full of true spirits, and the dry land is different, this place can not be empty, nor can it live in groups, it can be a place for young children to learn, which can help a lot. Que Mu Mountain, where the gold essence is, can take silver, copper and iron, but never gold. If the water well of the main house is exhausted, it will be dry for three years, and the fish and water are abundant, which is beneficial to the body and martial arts. Pingzhao Village, where Tuyuan is located, is easy to farm and mulberry, and is the barn of the public. Yong'an Fang, the land of fire spirit, the land is barren, there are many miscellaneous stones, in order to protect its fire, the first generation of the family to build all kinds of workshops here, future generations can follow it.

Seeing the Wenguan map, the two of them knew that the Dongtianfu Land was much larger than expected, and the bamboo forest was just a heaven and earth.

The entire Dongtianfu Land is an egg-shaped oversized basin with the tip of the egg in the north, and the entrance is located in a gourd-shaped mountain in the northwest.

There are two rivers in the mountains of the northeast border, the name Qingshui River at the upper end, from north to east, the main stream passes through the blue water, and at the end of the river channel obliquely to the south, a tributary is born in Pingzhao Village, called Huanxi, which flows to the southwest.

Another is called the Huishui River, from east to west, through the foot of Quemu Mountain, bending through the bamboo forest, crossing Yong'an Fang, not in the southwest.

In the center of the cave Tianfu land, a little north is the forbidden land of the secluded mountain, and the area is not much worse than the bamboo forest. There are a lot of forks drawn in the forbidden area, and I don't know what they represent. In the center is a square with an egg shape in the center, marking the celestial meteorite.

On the whole, the secluded mountain forbidden land is like a strange eye covered with bloodshots, revealing a dangerous aura at all times. This shows that the forbidden place must be a place where the secluded sky is imprisoned.

However, looking at the picture, it is simple, but it is written on the right side of the picture that the secluded mountains are forbidden and cannot be entered by non-family owners. It means that even if there is no mechanism in the mountain, it is still a large maze, and it is extremely difficult for outsiders to reach the center without any way.

At this time, a human voice came out of the walkie-talkie, "Sister, sister, where are you, where are you?" ”

Qin Xuan responded with a walkie-talkie, and after a while, Qin Zhaoyun rushed to the tower, and before he finished admiring, Gongsun Zhi asked urgently, "Have you found Xiao Jiang?" ”

Qin Zhaoyun shook his head and sighed, "The trace of that cargo is difficult to find, the route of action is very jumpy, and finally disappeared in front of a strange forest." ”

Qin Xuan asked, "Is it out of the mountain forest east of the bamboo forest?" ”

Qin Zhaoyun had already seen the calligraphy and painting, pointed to the picture and said, "That's right, it's a forbidden place in the mountains." ”

Gongsun Zhi asked, "You say blame Linzi, how is it blamed?" ”

Qin Zhaoyun said, "That's really called the brazier in the hall, the house is full of red, a mountain of red maples, red people, and even the ground is covered with fallen leaves." Looking at the open space is flat, stepping on it and the bottom may not be a pit or an old sludge, and every step is not steady. I only went in ten meters and felt that I couldn't get off my feet, it was soft to step on, and I couldn't climb the tree inside, there were red ants on the tree, and centipedes were hidden in the cracks. ”

Gongsun Zhi frowned, "This is not easy to do, the compass is out of order here, and such a dangerous mountain forest will definitely not be able to pass in a short time." ”

Qin Xuan said, "Senior brother, it says that the forbidden land is not allowed to be entered by the head of the family, I think these family masters must know the path up the mountain, or have some kind of pass, why don't we go and find it." ”

Gongsun Zhi said: "Your idea is feasible. ”

Qin Zhaoyun said, "Then let's go find it separately, and it can save time." ”

"No!" Gongsun Zhi said, "Let's not talk about why there is no one here, there is no one in other places, if we disperse our actions, it is easy to be calculated." In addition, this place is very wide and communication is inconvenient, so we must act together and not be anxious about saving people. If the second master can't protect Xiao Jiang, then it will be in vain for us to go early. ”

The brother and sister nodded, and Gongsun Zhi continued, "This is the green bamboo forest, which literally means a school for educating children. Since there are ancestral teachings here, it means that there are documents that record history. Let's look for clues and see which head of the house has what we need. ”

The brother and sister made a statement and went up to the second floor one after another.

The second floor is full of bookshelves, with six rows and three columns.

There are three layers of bookshelves, and the bamboo slips placed on each layer are different. The bamboo slips are packed in cloth bags, and wooden signs are hung on the mouth to mark the title of the book. There are universities, the mean, the Analects, the Book of Songs, and the Book of Rites...... It's all a study book.

So the three of them went up to the third floor, but what they saw was a mess.

The bookshelves fell to the ground, and some fell apart. Almost all of the bamboo slips were broken and the bamboo pieces were scattered everywhere, and there were traces of fire in them. And there are scratches left by several sharp weapons on the four walls, the deepest of which can be inserted into most of the palms of the hand.

The three of them flipped through for a while, but they couldn't find a complete book, and many bamboo pieces had traces of oil stains.

There are indications that there have been large-scale fights here, and that the enemy was stronger in the early days.

Because the cloth bag of the bamboo slips will not be removed during the fight, it means that the enemy has almost looked through all the bamboo slips after capturing the tower. Whether the enemy finds what they are looking for or not, the enemy will eventually burn the place to the ground. Fortunately, reinforcements arrived in time, and after extinguishing the fire, they went to pursue the enemy, and somehow never came back to clean up.

The three of them were depressed for a while, and wanted to try their luck on the fourth floor, but they held their breath like a neck after going up.

The fourth floor is full of weapon racks, most of which are sword racks. If the shelves were full, there would be at least fifty swords, fifteen spears or knives, five bows, and perhaps a few shields.

However, at this moment, all the shelves were empty, and there was not even a sword shell.

I thought that these weapons might be the weapons of Zuo Ci's disciples, even if they were not made by famous teachers, they were real antiquities. The brother and sister felt as if they had been robbed, and they were distressed.

Gongsun Zhi couldn't help but sigh a pity, and looked at the shelves with a sad face to see if there were names or symbols engraved on the shelves, and only after not finding them did he unfold his face.

But after four floors, I still didn't find any useful information.

Only the sentry booth at the top was not checked, and the three of them did not have any hope, they just wanted to say that they had climbed high to see the terrain, but as soon as they appeared, they saw two human bones hanging in front of the pavilion pillar!

The two human bones hung in the air, naked, and the bones of the whole body were already dried and very white. The floor beneath the human skeleton was mostly soaked in blood, and was now blackened.

A thick and long arrow, like a spear-like arrow, pierced the ribs in front of the heart and shot into the top of the pavilion pillar, and it actually penetrated the pavilion pillar as thick as a waist, and the arrow exposed more than two inches!

The long arrow is slanted upwards from below, indicating that the arrow was fired from downstairs. In terms of angle, the archery position is at least 100 meters away from the tower, so that people can be nailed to the pillar at the current angle.

The three of them were shocked, after all, what kind of crossbow weapon could be so powerful!

The three of them unanimously disagreed that this was artificial, even if he stood on the ladder and shot arrows at close range, he could shoot people through the pillar with arrows, even if he called Li Yuanba, who was holding up a jack of the tripod with one hand, he couldn't do it.

Most likely, the trick here has been taken to the extreme, making cold weapons as powerful as firearms.

The three of them looked around with uneasiness, and saw the gourd mountain when they came, the forbidden place full of red mountains, the south side of the cactus and strange rocks, and a bare mountain in the northeast, and they were depressed again.

It seems that the picture has not been updated for a long time, and it is different from the reality.

At this time, Qin Xuan found that there was a mountain peak looming behind the bald mountain, which was not marked on the map.

The three of them put it together and decided to explore the mountain first.
