Chapter 49: The Plate
"Brother Tar, have you really decided?" Xiaohua asked softly.
"Yes!" Tie Ta nodded, the current Taoyuan country politics are harmonious, everyone is united, the Carnivorous Alliance does not dare to act rashly, and he can leave without worry. At the conference just now, the tower announced to the people that he was going to Huaxia, and all the affairs of Taoyuan Country were handed over to Mr. Bai to be responsible, anyway, he had never been in charge of anything before, there was no problem of power transfer, and everything had not changed as usual.
"King, come back early."
"King, take care."
The scene of crying and weeping in the imagination of the tower did not appear, and the people looked calm, as if he had just gone out to visit relatives and would be back in three or five days, and there was no need to make a fuss at all.
There was only one person who cried, and that was Xiaohua, and she said with tears streaming down her face: "I know that this is your ideal, if you don't complete it, then you won't be happy in your life, because I have seen you cry in your dreams more than once, and you feel guilty for not being able to fulfill Master's wish, so I will definitely not hold you back, I will wait here for you to come back." ”
"Thank you, Little Flower! I will come back safe and sound, and then marry you. "The tower was very moved, and it was a blessing to have such a person who understood and supported him.
Xiaohua smiled like a flower, she had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and today she finally waited for it.
"Big brother, do you want us to go with you?" Vigorously look forward to it.
"One of you is the captain of the stormtrooper team, and the other is the captain of the monitoring team, the safety of Taoyuan Country is on the two of you, how can you leave easily?" Tie Ta politely refused his request, this is a long way to China, there will be many unknown dangers, I really don't want them to go on an adventure.
Xiaohua smiled and said nothing, he begged for so long and Brother Ta didn't agree, let alone you two little guys.
"Big brother, when are you coming back?" Lightning asked.
"At least one year, at most two or three years." I don't know how long it will take, so I have to say an approximate time.
……
"Mother, what's wrong with your body?" I'm going to leave tomorrow, and of course the tower has to come over and say goodbye to Yu Niang.
"It's not the same as before......" Before she finished speaking, Yu Niang coughed violently again.
"Mother is really old." Tie Tower's nose was sour, if there was anything that could not be put down before parting, it would be Yu Niang's body. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, as if he remembered one thing, the last time he went to pick ginseng, he accidentally found a snow lotus on the top of the snow mountain, because the year was not enough, so he didn't pick it, now his mother's body is so weak, if you can use snow lotus to nourish it, it can definitely enhance your physique and prolong your life.
The snow-white peaks pointed straight to the sky like a knife, and the steep cliffs were covered with thick ice, even birds did not dare to fly up, but the iron tower was not an ordinary person after all, he swam like a gecko against the smooth ice surface, and flew up when he encountered obstacles, and the pure Yang Wuji Gong in his body provided him with an endless stream of power, and after half an hour, the cliff hundreds of zhang high was trampled under his feet.
Infinite scenery in the dangerous peak, all the efforts are worth it, the beautiful scenery in front of you is the best return, at this time the fiery red sun is rising, ten thousand rays of light shine the mountain peaks colorful, the clouds with different postures are fluttering with the wind at the feet, overlooking the citizens of Taoyuan country have all become the size of ants. "Which ant is the little flower?" Thinking of this, the tower couldn't help but laugh.
Majaro is the highest place in the steppe, and it is certainly the place of greatest interest, and although it can be seen every morning when you open your eyes, it does not stop people from reverie. Everyone has their own different opinions, some say that there are gods living on it, some say that it is full of monsters, and the only thing in common is that the top of the mountain is sharp and steep, and there is no place to stand, so no one should think of going up except for gods and ghosts. Whenever he heard them arguing, the tower always smiled faintly, because only he knew that they were wrong, in fact, the top of the mountain was a circular pit high on all sides and low in the middle, like a huge sea bowl, the bottom of the bowl was hundreds of zhang deep from the mouth of the bowl, and the bottom was full of 10,000 years of ice.
On the steep rock wall, a white lotus flower is blooming proudly, and the air is filled with bursts of fragrance.
Although it is a pity that the year is not enough to pick, but the tower can't manage so much, he jumped to the snow lotus, just about to reach out to pick it, suddenly a golden light flashed in front of his eyes, immediately attracted his gaze, looking along the light, there seemed to be something in the ice at the bottom of the pit, emitting a faint golden light under the sunlight.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" The tower's first reaction was to be dazzled. The terrain here is steep and inaccessible, even the master has never been here, and he is the first visitor here, how can anything fall? Is it really left by the gods, as people say? He wiped the ice flowers from his eyelashes, opened his eyes and looked closely, he was indeed not mistaken, there was indeed something there.
"Idle is idle anyway, dig it up and see what it is, maybe it's a valuable guy." Everyone has curiosity, and the Eiffel Tower is certainly no exception. He threw himself to the bottom of the pit on tiptoes, and after a few ups and downs, he came to the golden light, and without saying a word, he lowered his head to the top, and left a small white spot on the ice with a "bang". This really surprised the tower, he knew very well the power of his iron horns, even stones could be torn apart, and he didn't expect that this smooth and mirror-like ice surface was actually three points harder than a stone slab.
"I want to see if it's you or mine." The iron tower's bull temper came up, and he stabbed more than a dozen times in one breath, and a crack an inch wide appeared on the ice surface, and he chiseled all the way along this crack, and finally succeeded in opening a gap. With this breakthrough, it was much easier to follow, and I don't know how long it took, with the fierce stab of the iron tower, a piece of solid ice the size of a desktop fell to the ground and turned into countless ice crystals.
The tower was so tired that he sat on the ground, looked up and saw that it was already a bright moon, the sky was full of stars, he arrived here after lunch, and he worked until the evening unconsciously, this project is indeed a bit big!
Now that the golden creature had been completely stripped from the ice, the tower had gone around it twice, without doors or windows, round and flattened like a huge plate, about twenty zhang in diameter and more than one zhang high, supported by three stout pillars below.
The bottom of the plate is more than two meters high from the ground, and this height of the tower is just enough to pass through it generously. He curiously walked down to see that the bottom was flat, very smooth, and there were nine metal plates of different colors in the center, the size was about the same as the sea bowl, which were red, pink, blue, green, purple, orange, black and white, and the gold was like a noble king living alone in the middle, and other colors were arranged in a neat and orderly manner, forming a gorgeous nine-colored flower, which was very beautiful.
The tower touched the shell of the plate, it was not gold or iron, I don't know what material it was made of, in short, it was very hard, and no sound came out with a flick of its fingers, as if it was a fist hitting a pile of cotton.
"Is the inside of the plate solid?" The tower touched the big guy and meditated as he walked. Suddenly, his fingers seemed to have been scraped by something, and when he looked closely, it was a line of ice thinner than a hair, and there seemed to be a crack under the ice line.
That's right! It's really a crack, and if it weren't for the slight bulge of the ice line in the crack just now, it would be really difficult to find with the naked eye. The tower was very excited, maybe this is where the doors and windows are. He stretched out his hand and pushed in, but he didn't move, and tried to push left and right, only to hear a "crunch", some ice chips fell from the gap, the shell of the plate slowly moved to the left, and a door appeared in front of him.
The tower was pleasantly surprised, and jumped in, this door seemed to be tailor-made for him, if it was a little narrower an inch or two, it would not be so generous to enter.
It was a quiet corridor, with a thick golden carpet on the floor, and pots of plants on either side, and a fist-sized flower standing there in the midst of the dense leaves, and the petals of many colors were very mixed. The tower counted with interest the red, pink, blue, green, purple, orange, white, gold, exactly the same color as the bottom of the plate. Its leaves are strange, they are actually black, yes! It's this extremely rare color, which adds to the mystery.
The tower dared to pack the ticket, he had never seen such strange flowers, and he dared to conclude that the owner of this room should not be a person who loves flowers, and it should have been a long time since these flowers were listless. He walked down the hallway, with rooms on either side, but unfortunately the door was closed, and he didn't know what was inside. After a while, I came to the end of the corridor, and when I turned to the right, a hall appeared in front of me, and directly opposite the wall was a half-person high, two or three meters long black cabinet, with two rows of buttons, one green and one red. At this time, a green button was flashing constantly, like a firefly flying, finally adding a touch of life to this slightly dull place. Above the cabinet was a bright mirror, and the tower walked up to it to take a look, only to find that there was no shadow of itself inside. "Maybe it's not a mirror!" He thought to himself, turned to open the door, maybe there would be a discovery, but this turn startled him.
There are three large chairs in front of the cabinet, as soon as the tower enters the hall, it is empty and there is no one sitting, at this time I came to the front to see, I saw a young man sitting on a chair in the middle, thin, eyes closed, wearing a nondescript striped clothes, a red rope tied around his neck, the thin body was completely hidden in the wide chair, motionless like a statue, no wonder he looked away.
"Dude, don't fight with people casually! If someone pulls the rope and strangles your neck, where is the power to fight back? Tie Ta was very worried about him, but what surprised Tie Ta even more was his appearance, with human facial features, but on his head there was a pair of horns exactly like his own, but his horns were golden.
Tie Ta suddenly felt a little sympathetic to him, "It's really pitiful, a good person actually grew two horns and became a monster who is neither human nor cow." ”
Maybe it was the habit of his profession, and when Tie Tower first saw him, he could be sure that this man was dead, but at this time, he couldn't help but reach out and probe under his nose, he didn't breathe, and his face was as cold as a piece of ice. "He's been dead for a long time." The tower couldn't help but feel amused by his actions, trapped in this ice, where was there any hope of survival?
There was nothing to see about the dead man, and the tower focused on the cabinet again, and pressed here and there to pat it, but it was almost not opened, but unfortunately there was still no movement. He looked up and down the cabinet again, and finally found that this long cabinet was black, like a black coffin, but there was actually a golden iron plate on the right side, and there was a fist-sized hole on it, and there was a trace of warmth when he touched it.
The plate is as cold as an ice cellar, how can there be heat inside? Is there a fire? The tower was very curious, and the ghost made a miracle and put his right hand in, and the strange thing was that it was just right for both size and length, and there was an iron ring in the hole, which was extremely warm and comfortable, and if there was no miscalculation, the heat probably came out of it.
"Let's warm up first." As soon as the tower opened its palm and grasped the iron ring, the heat quickly spread from the arm to the whole body, and then the temperature became higher and higher. Suddenly, something like lightning slammed into his fist, and his whole body was numb, and the hairs on his whole body stood up. He was taken aback and tried to withdraw his hand, only to find that it was tightly stuck in it and could not move.
The tower did not panic, tried to turn the handle left and right, the iron ring was really moving, except for the slight need to use a little force to start, the back was like dripping oil and turned in a clockwise direction without hindrance, the speed is getting faster and faster, and the temperature is getting higher and higher, like a red-hot iron nail. Tie Ta secretly complained in his heart, at this time it was not he who was spinning the iron ring, but the iron ring was taking him around, fortunately he had superb internal skills, and the muscles and joints of the whole body could be retracted freely, otherwise this arm would be twisted.
Suddenly, I heard a "ding dong", and the green button on the cabinet lit up again, and then a mechanical voice without any emotion said: "The operation of the starting device is successful." ”
"Start the device? What did I start? Tie Ta was stunned, "Could it be that this plate is from Huaxia?" How do you speak the language of Huaxia? He subconsciously twitched his hand, but he didn't expect that the powerful suction on the iron ring had disappeared without a trace, and the tower was caught off guard, and he took a dozen steps back. At this moment, he found that his heart was beating very fast, and there was even a hint of nervousness, a feeling he had not experienced for a long time.
"Oh no, maybe you broke someone's stuff." After calming down, Tie Ta felt a little guilty, what should he think of to remedy it? If you get into trouble and walk away, it's not the principle of being a human being.
