II. Chapter 20

On the other side, a group of outstanding young disciples followed Ye Zhengqi's footsteps, and the time of walking was not too long, and they suddenly came to an extremely secluded place, where a tall wall in the distance blocked the view, and it seemed that this was the extreme place within the scope of Wuxin Courtyard.

The clearing within the fence was dirt and overgrown with weeds, but by this time of year it was already dry and yellow. Only the bluestone path at your feet stretches to a tower-shaped building in front of you, and the road surface is vaguely covered with weeds, which is quite barren.

"Senior Sister Li, you see, that is the legendary Heavenly Machine Tower. Lin Yi pointed to the tower-shaped building in front of him and said to Li Mengru.

He followed Li Mengru all the way, and walked at the back of the team with Jiang Ming and Tie Zhen, but in addition to Tie Zhen, who was normal, Li Mengru and Jiang Ming directly ignored him, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all, but looked for the topic with great interest, which was quite courteous.

In fact, everyone came here, because the location of this tower was very conspicuous, so they noticed it directly at first sight, Li Mengru couldn't help but glance at Lin Yi at this time, with a look I already knew, and I used the expression you said.

After that, then look towards the Tianji Tower, only to see the gray-white stone tower is octagonal, the top of the tower is like a cover, the tower is like a bottle, although there is the shape of the tower, but there is no momentum that goes straight to the sky, but it is much lower than the ordinary tower, there is no pattern relief on the body of the tower, the old mottled is simply no eye-catching.

Li Mengru thought about it for a while, but she still couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart, and said lightly: "Don't you say that this Tianji Tower occupies the feng shui terrain, which is very powerful, but it is very barren here, and it doesn't look very good." ”

"Eh, you don't understand this!"

Lin Yi glanced at it, shook his hand and said proudly: "The more powerful the thing, the more inconspicuous it is, this is called returning to the basics, this Heavenly Machine Tower can be located in the very center of the first city in the world, and it is where the forbidden land is, naturally it has its reason!"

Li Mengru couldn't help but sneer, but unexpectedly, Ye Zhengqi, who took the lead, had amazing ears, and said lightly without looking back: "What feng shui topography, it's just a rumor, this tower is just a place where the stone tablet is stored, you should also put your heart on the stone tablet, instead of guessing here." ”

Lin Yi snorted, pursed his lips, and looked disbelieving, then approached Li Mengru, lowered his voice and whispered: "I didn't lie to you, it's definitely not that simple here!"

Li Mengru smiled, directly ignored Lin Yi, raised her head and shouted, "Thank you Senior Ye for reminding me, the junior knows." ”

Lin Yi suffocated for a moment, then shook his head stupidly, and said hatefully: "Cut, don't believe it!"

After this little episode, everyone didn't speak again, and in an instant they came to the Tianji Tower, I don't know how many years of the stone tower, ancient and simple, full of traces of wind and rain, and a stone door at the arched entrance was closed, and it was covered with a thick layer of dust.

Jiang Ming couldn't help but look around, the location of the tower was quite abrupt, and along the way, according to the route in his memory, this is the right rear of the Tianxiang Palace, or really as Lin Yi said, the location of this tower is the very center of the entire Wutong City, but when it comes to the topography of feng shui, he is skeptical.

The strangest thing is that this small open space is overgrown with wild grass, but for some reason, there is no grass in a radius of a few inches at the base of the tower, but the dead grass at the very edge has slanted outward, although it is messy, but the whole looks neat and orderly, as if it is struggling to escape from here.

Just as Jiang Ming was frowning and thinking, Ye Zhengqi's voice suddenly came to his ears:

"When you go in, don't move around, and don't touch the things inside, do you remember?"

Jiang Ming hurriedly came back to his senses, only to see Ye Zhengqi's gaze solemnly sweeping over everyone one by one, and finally stopped at the back of the crowd, looking more like the three people who specially explained themselves, Senior Sister and Tie Zhen came here for the first time.

Everyone did not hesitate and said yes.

Ye Zhengqi's face was expressionless, he turned around and faced the sky, and his footsteps moved slightly to the left side of the stone gate about two steps, as if he was measuring something, and then raised his hand straight to wipe the dust on the stone wall facing him, and then he vaguely saw that there was a slightly protruding square stone, which was integrated with the surroundings, if he didn't look very carefully, he couldn't see anything unusual at all.

I saw him lift his breath slightly, stretched out his hand and pressed it hard, only to hear a low "boom" sound, and the arched stone door also trembled, and the thick dust on it fell with the tremor.

Several disciples of the three major sects may have been here because they had come here, and their expressions had not changed much, while Jiang Ming's other three people were all holding their breath, and their eyes were more or less strange.

What's behind this door?

And what is on top of that amazing stone monument?

In an instant, the sound of "boom" came to an abrupt end, and the stone gate began to rise slowly, rubbing against the stone wall and making a strange and piercing sound, and in a moment, as the sound gradually disappeared, everything returned to silence, and the arched entrance was completely uncovered.

Jiang Ming couldn't help but look over, in a deep and empty darkness, he couldn't see anything else, but by feeling, the space inside should be quite large.

The door of the Tianji Tower was open, Ye Zhengqi's short and fat figure stood at the front of the door, and everyone was waiting nervously, but it seemed that he had no intention of going in directly, but hesitated for a moment, suddenly turned around, with a serious expression on his face, and said lightly: "Don't forget what I said." ”

Jiang Ming was stunned, he really couldn't figure out why he was so cautious, and he would remind him repeatedly, could there really be something important in it?

I saw that Li Mengru was also frowning slightly at this time, but her eyes glanced at Lin Yi slightly.

"Senior Ye, don't worry, the juniors have been here several times, and these rules are naturally valued. ”

At this time, I saw Yu An stand up, then glanced at Jiang Ming and the others, and said: "These three junior brothers and sisters are here for the first time, and they don't know much about this place, and I and you will take more care of them." ”

When Ye Zhengqi heard this, he nodded slowly, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Shuang'er, you take them in first, I have something to say to Senior Nephew Yu." ”

Yu An was slightly surprised, not knowing what to say, and Yu Xinshuang was also slightly stunned, but quickly nodded, and led the rest of the people into the interior of the Tianji Tower.

When everyone's figures completely disappeared into the darkness, Yu An took two steps forward and wondered: "Senior Ye, what's wrong, is there something wrong?"

Ye Zhengqi breathed a sigh of relief slowly, and his big face was much kinder, and said, "Senior nephew Yu, what happened in the Tianxiang Hall before.......

Yu An looked at him staring at him, with a hesitant look on his face, as if he wanted to say something but was embarrassed to open his mouth, and suddenly he was a little confused, but in an instant, he remembered Xu Weichen's disappearance, frowned at the moment, and said in a low voice: "Senior Ye, just ask whatever you want, and the junior will answer truthfully." ”

I saw Ye Zhengqi Huo Ran shook his head, with a slight groan on his face, as if he was organizing language.

Yu An was even more puzzled now, he really couldn't think of anything else to do except ask himself about the disappearance of the disciples of Wutong City, so he raised his eyes and saw that Ye Zhengqi was also staring at him, and after a while, he suddenly said slowly: "Your Uncle Qi has been in charge of the punishment of Wutong City for many years, and after a long time, his temper and personality will inevitably be a little rigid and serious, and the disciples of the sect are missing, he is in a bad mood, and there are some unpleasant words, you must not go to your heart." ”

Hearing this, Yu An looked stunned, and suddenly smiled: "Ah, it turned out to be this matter, I can't remember it if you don't say it." ”

Ye Zhengqi also smiled flatly, and then glanced at Yu An carefully, and was silent for a long time, Mo Ming sighed: "Pavilion Master Gu really accepted a good disciple!"

Yu An smiled and shook his head, but did not speak, and Ye Zhengqi also walked out of the emotion just now, reached out and patted Yu An's shoulder, and said, "Okay, there is nothing to do on the side, let's go in." ”

.........

In the dead and dim tower, only the faint sound of footsteps echoed, Jiang Ming walked here, and suddenly had an inexplicable familiar feeling, suddenly as if he was in the underground palace thousands of miles away, the same darkness and crampedness, but in comparison, there was more cool and damp here, which may be the reason for the poor air circulation, and there was a faint smell in the air.

That is the situation, he suddenly had a trace of strange emotions in his heart, it seemed that he was a little confused, and there were some faint thoughts, as if he had not returned to Wuqi Mountain for a long time, but this thought was suppressed by him in an instant, and he silently thought in his heart: Jiang Ming, Jiang Ming, what are you thinking about, what is there to treat in the cold Wuqi Mountain, and now there are people around you who care about yourself, and there are people you care about, isn't this what you yearn for!

Thinking of this, he sighed softly, and subconsciously looked at the woman beside him, a graceful figure in the dark, the goose-yellow dress swayed slightly, but he couldn't see any expression, maybe with the curious nature of the senior sister, I am afraid that I am very excited and happy at this moment.

Jiang Ming smiled lightly, and still silently followed the figure in front of him, the circular passage went around, there were white stone walls arranged everywhere, there were no stone carvings, like a labyrinth, and the deeper he went, it was also more cold, and the smell in the air was more obvious.

Everyone was aware of it, Jiang Ming frowned slightly, although he wanted to open his mouth to ask, but looking at the few vague figures in front of him, he walked very naturally, as if everything around him was very ordinary, so he was embarrassed to talk about it.

Although he was so silent, he didn't expect that a sudden flash in the corner of his eye came, and a figure came up, he was suddenly startled, turned his face to look, and saw a white face looking at him very closely, and his eyes blinked faintly in the dark, flashing with a faint light.

Jiang Ming breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously cast a puzzled gaze.
