Chapter 18: The Golden Castle
The night breeze blows through the vast fields, and the twists and turns of the dead branches sway with the wind, like the arms of the wrath of hell, and the withered and yellow hay flies all over the sky, like an ignorant soul looking for an end. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the dark and unpredictable mountains and forests, there are occasionally a few wolf howls, full of sadness and desolation, like a hungry ghost who will never turn over is lamenting.
The white city faced the night wind, like a ghost, drifting through the dark field and flying in a southeasterly direction.
He walked alone in the dark field, and everything around him suddenly became extremely strange and terrifying, but his mind was like an ancient well, and there was not a single ripple.
Leaving Fang'er in Huang Tongju's mansion, he planned to single-handedly meet Jin Tiexin, the castle lord of Jinbi Castle, and Chang Hualong's eldest brother, that is, Chang Feilong, the chief manager of Jinbi Castle.
Huang Tongju tried his best to persuade him, hoping that Bai Cheng would take Fang'er away and leave this place of right and wrong.
However, Bai Cheng did not follow his advice in the end, but chose to go straight, settle the rights and wrongs of Yutian Mansion, and find an opportunity to kill Jin Tiexin.
The reason why he is like this is not just because of the young man's man, but for three reasons.
First, although Bai Cheng is leisurely by nature and does not want to argue with others, he seems to have a temperament that is at ease with what he encounters, but there is a fire hidden in his heart.
Although he didn't show it on weekdays, when it was critical, he was quite a little uneven, drew his sword to help, made a decision immediately, and cut the grass and roots, otherwise he would not have explored the Nine Immortals Temple at night and killed Lu Yuanlong.
Second, according to Huang Tong's judgment, when the Tie family left, the Ju clan relocated, and no clansmen were left here. When Jin Tiexin came here, he only brought two personal servants with him, one of them was Chang Feilong, the chief manager of Jinbi Castle, and the other was Chang Hualong, the master of Yutian Mansion, and the other guards and servants in the fort were all hired locally.
In other words, today's Jinbi Castle is not a thousand-year-old demon family like the Iron Family at that time, but just a place where two monsters are entrenched.
The protection in the fort is far less strict than the original Tie family, if he sees the opportunity to act, he may not be able to find out the details of the fort.
Third, Bai Cheng was still a little suspicious of the monster family. Although Chang Hualong's body was close at hand, as a disciple of the Daomen, he also had some understanding of the unfathomable power of the Daomen's abyss.
There are countless branches of the Daomen, and the masters are like clouds, similar to the Fengnuo Zhenren, a god refining master, I don't know how much is hidden, plus the Buddhism Gate that is on a par with the Daomen, the hidden masters are really innumerable.
The two major sects have been overwhelming the world for thousands of years, crisscrossing the north and south of the country, to say that there is any demon family that can suppress these two major sects, but it makes him a little unbelievable. After all, Chang Hualong's ability is mediocre, although he can compete with him, but in front of a grandmaster like Feng Nuo Zhenren, he is just a fish on the case.
There was also one of the biggest doubts in his heart, if the demon family was really invincible in the world, then why did he choose to keep a low profile? Therefore, Bai Cheng thought that although the demon family had some strength, it was not as strong as Huang Tongju described.
The only thing that made him feel uneasy was that Feng Nuo Dao Chang disappeared silently, leaving no trace, what was the reason that forced Feng Nuo Dao Chang to disappear?
......
Far away on the horizon, a black castle stands alone between heaven and earth.
This castle is built in an extremely peculiar way, and the architectural style is extremely strange, unlike the ordinary city fortresses of the Chen Kingdom.
The castle has a standard square shape, and each wall is one mile long and five feet high, neatly and neatly, as if measured with a ruler.
The whole body of the city wall is piled up with pure white marble, and a cone-shaped arrow tower is built at each of the four corners, which stands tall, but the spire is built of red garnet, and in the center of the castle is a bell tower that towers into the sky, which is more than ten zhang high, and can be seen from afar.
Bai Cheng looked at the castle from a distance, and his heart shook suddenly.
The unique style of this castle evoked a long memory in his heart, although this style was unique in Chen Guo, it was not the first time he had seen it, he had seen this kind of castle countless times in his previous life, the most standard European castle!
He was especially surprised to learn that there was a castle in his memory that was exactly like this one: Brown Castle in west-central Romania, where the legendary vampire Count Dracula lived!
Because he was very obsessed with the legend of the blood clan in his previous life, he had collected relevant information, and he was naturally very familiar with this famous castle, but he didn't expect to be able to see it here today, could there be any connection between the two worlds?
Bai Cheng kept thinking in his heart, but he didn't stop for a moment, but in the blink of an eye, he had come to the vicinity of Jinbi Castle, hidden among the wild grass in the western field, and observed this castle up close.
The castle is surrounded by a moat more than two feet wide, with barren grass on one side and tall stone walls on the other.
The stone wall is more than five zhang high, white marble as white as snow, strong and fine, seamless, and the surface is polished incomparably smooth.
Above the stone wall are battlements, although you can't see the patrolling guards, but you can see a little cold light hidden through the battlements, and you can tell that this is the arrow on the string of a strong bow and crossbow.
Although the castle is wide, there is only a gate on the south side of the castle that can be accessed.
This gate is made of cold iron, three zhang high, and on both sides of the gate are two small doors, some of which are more than one zhang high. Outside the gate is a movable suspension bridge, which is lowered only when people enter and exit, and is usually hung high.
The layout of Jinbi Castle is exactly the same as what Huang Tong said, if the defense is done properly, it can be described as ******** and foolproof, and it is impossible to break through hard.
However, Bai Cheng was not worried, because Huang Tongju had already told him a path to the castle.
After taking a look, Bai Cheng took advantage of the cover of the wild grass and floated towards the south of Jinbi Castle.
To the south of the castle is an avenue that leads to the mountains to the south, and the grass on both sides of the avenue is lush with wild animals such as roe deer and wild deer.
The White City lurked on the west side of the avenue, looking south along the avenue, waiting for an approaching convoy.
Soon after, a convoy came slowly from the south, and there were about seven or eight carriages in the convoy, and in front of each carriage were two black horse-drawn carriages, and the black horses were from head to toe, without a single stray hair.
In front of each carriage sat a driver, dressed in a black suit, with a gloomy face and eyes like electricity, constantly scanning the surroundings.
Bai Cheng was shocked in his heart, these drivers were not ordinary Jianghu guards, they were all elite soldiers in a hundred battles! )
