Song Siyuan paused and explained: "Is it possible, is it because this corpse is far above the city tower, there is no way to get close to the soil, so it will stay on the top of the Grand Palace tower, in the illusion, I seem to have seen some things that look like people and non-people, like corpses and not corpses, come out of the soil, and take the Tang Dynasty government army by surprise, and at the moment this corpse also has some vines attached to it, don't you think it's strange?" ”

At this point, she motioned for everyone to look at the corpse, which was very withered, with almost no traces of flesh and fat, only the skin was left to wrap around the hard skeleton, but in this case, the skin was still not damaged in the slightest, only a layer of fine vines wrapped around the surface of the skin, as if a fine fishing net was wrapping the corpse.

They began to look for traces of vines along the end of the nets, and eventually found that they all came from the crevices in the tiles above the square, along which the vines could be seen extending from the huge treasure tower in front of the square.

This shows that the main body of the vines entangled in the corpse is likely to be in the tower, and these vines follow the pattern of the bronze bowl, directly wrapping the entire copper plate and fish match, which is even more strange.

Everyone's eyes were unconsciously attracted by the city gate tower in front of them!

The appearance of this tower, is also the style of the gold-topped white tower, but the tower body is no longer a stone material, you can obviously feel the lightness of the wooden structure, the shape of the whole tower body is very peculiar, the foundation is the square tower foot, on the square tower foot, the tower body of the semi-circular form is built, it is like a semicircle, upside down on the square tower foot, and then look up, it is the tower top that is sharp like bamboo shoots, there are decorative nine-layer eaves around the top of the tower, all over the gold paint, covered with glass, about twenty or thirty meters high.

These walls are already high in the air, and combined with the height of the towers, this golden-domed white tower stands out from the crowd, completely independent of all the buildings of the Grand Palace, as if it were a huge gate god of the Imperial Palace, always guarding the safety of the Grand Palace.

Song Siyuan observed the form and appearance of the tower, and said: "It can also be seen from the almost semi-elliptical expansion of the tower body, the inside is probably a hollow structure, the tower body of this structure, it is impossible to build it with stone, the tower we see now is most likely a wooden structure, only a layer of stone chips is pasted on the outside, it seems to be made of stone, if my guess is correct, what is estimated to be placed inside?" ”

"What do you mean?" Yue Guanchao asked, in his opinion, there was nothing special about this tower.

Song Siyuan knew that they couldn't understand the situation, and patiently explained: "The tall towers we saw in the temple are more than twenty or thirty meters, and they are completely made of stone, which shows that the ancient Shanshan people have mastered the technology of using stones to build huge towers. ”

"Then since they have this technology, why did they use a wooden structure to build the Grand Palace, which is also a tower of twenty or thirty meters high, but it has to be built with a wooden structure?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison, they really didn't think about it.

Song Siyuan said: "Whether it is a stone tower or a wooden tower, it is almost the same in terms of stability, there is no big difference, only one point is completely different. ”

In order to take into account the stability, the stone tower will sacrifice a lot of space inside, resulting in the stone tower inside the space is rarely wide, and even some of it is completely solid, while the wooden tower uses the flexibility of the wooden structure and the stability of the foundation to ensure the solidity of the tower, and of course, it can have more usable space in the tower.

"I wondered, is there something to store in this wooden tower? In order to make the most of the hollow space, they had to abandon the stone towers and build them with wooden structures instead. ”

Song Siyuan's eyes lit up when he said this: "If this is the case, then there may really be something in this golden tower of the city tower?" With that, she looked at the vines that stretched out into the tower, and the worry in her eyes became more and more obvious.

Yue Guanchao pinched his chin, pondered his words and said, "You mean there might be something in the tower?" It was this thing that sniffed the corpse and directly wrapped the entire corpse, so that the corpse appeared to be completely wrapped in vines. ”

Yue Guanchao's guess was obviously what he wanted to say, Song Siyuan nodded: "What you mean is probably what I want to say, but what I don't know is why there is such a thing in this huge tower?" Or is this something that Queen Shanshan deliberately raised to dispose of her corpse after death, if so, does it mean that the corpses of the people were also pulled under the ground by this vine? ”

This conjecture made everyone's hearts chuckle, judging from the hallucinations they had just experienced, the people were indeed pulled into the dirt by something under the ground, and combined with the fact that the Tang Dynasty soldiers were caught off guard by the corpses attached to the vines, the two were probably the same thing.

Sensing this, then the situation is tricky, no matter what this thing is, it has such a large attack power and a large number, it can't be a species produced at that time, it is very likely that it was deliberately raised under the imperial city, which also means that these vine-shaped monsters have long lived under the rock formations of the imperial city, and they can be awakened to protect the city as long as Queen Shanshan activates the fish pendant. It's just that in the end, they really have no chance of winning, and Queen Shanshan may be afraid that the people will be captured as slaves, so she let the vines pull them all into the dirt.

If this is the case, it would also explain why the Imperial City fell into the sinkhole intact, and it is likely that these vines under the Imperial City supported the Imperial City, allowing them to slowly force down into the sinkhole.

Xu Xiake asked again, "Then if that's the case, what are the living dead and demon hunters?" ”

Song Siyuan nodded and explained: "This is not a conflict, Queen Shanshan held a ritual to suck their souls to some other world, and these vines captured and pulled the corpses below the silt, because their bodies were destroyed, the souls of the other world want to return to the real world, they have to use the carrier of the demon hunter to appear in the desert as an immortal." ”

Seeing that the more everyone talked, the more bizarre it became, Yue Guanchao hurriedly interrupted them: "This is the soul and the other world, how many people have really gone to that mirror space, this is still uncertain, they haven't even passed the body, but the soul has passed, who knows if Queen Shanshan has succeeded in sacrificing?" If the sacrifice is not successful, then these people are likely to just disappear out of thin air, or it is very likely that they will not go to some other world, but will just become fertilizer for some vines and plants. ”

He paused, and his tone became cautious: "Since their corpses can be pulled into the mud, it means that some monsters in the mud need their corpses, maybe this is just the last illusion that Queen Shanshan created for them?" Let them think that they have gone to the other world, but in fact, they are used as nourishment by these vines, as if we saw the queen's corpse, she is not also wrapped in vines and digested clean! ”

Speaking of this, Yue Guanchao's face became mysterious: "Let's go to the tower first, maybe the mother body of the vine or the main body of the vine is in the tower." ”

Everyone couldn't get a result from the discussion, so they followed Yue Guanchao to the door of the tower.

This tower has only one door opening, which is divided into a tower gate about three meters long and wide in a trapezoidal form, the left and right doors are completely closed, and the middle door knocker is completely welded with a copper plate, and it is impossible to enter again.

This special shape of the door itself is a little close to the door of the tomb, and the completely sealed structure strengthens the idea of everyone.

Yue Guanchao took the flashlight and looked at the copper plate that had been welded to death, the pattern on it was very peculiar, like vines intertwining with each other, forming the form of a human skeleton, and when he went forward to hit the copper plate, he could also feel the jingling bell, which was very solid.

They don't understand what it is, though? Looking at the very tightly closed state, it also indirectly proves their idea - the only wooden tower in the imperial city, there must be something in it that is not suitable for release.

"And do we want to open it now?" In case something inside escapes, it's a problem. Song Siyuan looked at the door that had been completely fixed dead, if it was opened, if the things inside were alive, they would definitely have to run out, even if they were dead, there might be some danger.

"Then why don't we just try and see if this vine is dead or alive?"

Yue Guanchao looked down at the ground, and the vines stretched along the gaps in the floor tiles to the altar.

He picked up the dagger and cut one of the vines directly, and the vines twisted like living creatures, and as they were cut, more tiny vines soon sprouted, extending into other crevices in the ground, forming a whole vine-like network again.

When everyone saw this scene, they also understood that the things in the tower were indeed living creatures, so it extended to the corpse, probably to absorb the nutrients from the corpse.

"It doesn't look like it can be opened."

Yue Guanchao understood that no matter what these copper plates were, as long as they opened the sealed doorway, they were likely to rush out directly to attack the living creatures, and the door was the safest when sealed.

Yue Guanchao estimated the current situation and said, "Now we have two paths......

The first way is to return the same way, without alarming the vines, you can safely return to the glacier, and then return to the ground, but if you want to go this way, you have to abandon the jade pendant, because this fish pendant has been crawled with vines, and if they want to take out the fish pendant, it will definitely alarm the vines.

There is a second way, they take the fish pendant and at the same time wake up the vines, as long as they are fast enough to get out of the glacier before the vines catch them, they can safely return to the surface, but because the glacier is too far from the ground, they can't guarantee that it will be completely safe during this period, and they can't guarantee that they will not be caught by the vines.

When Yue Guanchao put these two paths in front of everyone, many people already had the answer in their hearts.
