Text Chapter 31 Lantai Jade Ruler
The eunuch left behind some treasures, and a carriage.
The treasure had been snatched away in the crowd, and no one dared to touch the carriage.
At this time, if you drive a carriage, it will indeed be much faster, but it will also be in some trouble. Besides, this carriage belongs to the military, and it is impossible to tell if it is recognized.
The war horse pulling the cart is a good thing, but unfortunately the horse's paw has the mark of the characteristics of the army, which ordinary people can't see, but it can't escape the eyes of the veteran, so this carriage can only be abandoned.
"The two of you will follow the two of us to the hidden city first, and then I will give you two horses, although they are not as good as this war horse, but they can still be used for transportation. Li Jinzhong patted his chest and promised.
"Thank you so much. Zhang Hui nodded.
With Li Jinzhong's Tongguan leading the way, talking and laughing along the way, it has eliminated a lot of loneliness.
Two days later, they saw two high mountains, the peaks of which reached into the clouds, like two giant blades inserted into this northern place, engraved with countless legends.
The mountains are not only high, but also stretch for thousands of miles, and only a passage connects the north and the south between the two mountains. With the exception of this pass, the other roads that can get around the mountains are extremely long and take a lot of time.
The secluded city was built in the passage, and the walls were completely integrated with the sides of the mountain.
The height of the city is nearly ten zhang, and the materials used are not ordinary copper and iron. There are more than a dozen arrow towers on the city wall, and there are many hidden castles in the city wall, and there are countless sword holes, all of which make the ghost city have an indestructible reputation.
After walking forward for a while, you can see a stone stele, the stele is simple and round, and there is a lot of moss growing on it, which seems to be an ancient thing.
I saw that the stone tablet read, "Lantai jade ruler cuts yin and yang, and the red city is divided into north and south!"
The Lantai jade ruler refers to these two towering peaks.
If you follow the trail on the left, climb up to the halfway point of the peak, there is a platform, there are orchids on it, all kinds of orchids bloom in turn throughout the year, sometimes there are young talents come here to sit and discuss the road, leaving a lot of "Lantai" masterpieces.
There is also a legend that there is a platform at the peak of this orchid platform, which is called Yuntai, which is the Sendai where the feather becomes an immortal and the immortal official is introduced. From time to time, some people look up, they can see that the clouds are colorful, the seven-colored divine light shines in all directions, and there are more people who speak chiseled words, and they have heard fairy music from the clouds.
The mountain peak on the right is less exposed to sunlight, and the plants on it tend to be dark green, and when viewed from a distance, it looks like an ink-colored jade ruler, hence the name jade ruler.
The legend of the jade ruler is not less than that of Lantai, among which the most mysterious one, the jade ruler is the ink sword in the hand of the immortal official, and when the immortal official returns to the immortal world, it will turn into the main body, and the sword dances for nine days.
However, the immortal god Miao Miao cannot be traced.
"It is said that this Lantai jade ruler is not high, and it is directly inserted into the heavenly palace, and it is difficult for birds to jump. However, it has been rumored that there is a person as small as a person, flying dashing on the two mountains, and that should be the legendary immortal. Tong Guan pointed to the mountain and talked eloquently.
Li Jinzhong also danced with his eyebrows at this time, pointed to Nalantai and said:
"When I was young, I used to play under the roots of the mountain, and one day I met an old boy, when I was young, I did not think that he was very different, and now I think back that he should be an immortal, with the appearance of a child, but with a silver beard and crane eyebrows, and when he walks, he seems to be walking and flying. ”
"If you can meet an immortal and get one or two divine pills, even if you can't soar in the daytime, you will be able to prolong your life, be immortal for a hundred years, and immortal for a thousand years. Speaking of immortals, Zhang Wu also mixed two sentences.
After walking the rivers and lakes for a long time, I don't have much respect and fear for gods and ghosts, but because I can't reach that level, I feel mysterious, so I hope to be able to get close to them, and even hope to be able to get their abilities.
Zhang Hui knows that ghosts are a kind of creatures formed after death due to special reasons and special environments, although they are very different from tigers, leopards, wolves and dogs, but they can still be attributed to creatures.
As for God, there are none, but there are certainly any. Since ancient times, there have been immortals, and the ascension can occur once in a hundred years, and many places have left the hands of immortals, and manpower cannot do it.
Of course, if you carefully examine the miracles and wonders that are rumored in the world, it is not difficult to find that most of them are left by powerful warriors.
"It's really the world's first hero. Shaking his head, he threw out all the "gods and ghosts" in his head, and Zhang Hui also joined the ranks of praising this Xiongguan.
After walking for a while, the word "ghost city" on the city wall can be clearly imprinted in the eyes, and the majestic city wall blocks the pedestrians who come and go, dividing the vast land into north and south.
The wall is at least one zhang thick and impregnable! It is connected with the majestic mountains on both sides and guards this side. The wall was very high, and when I stood at the bottom and looked up, I was dizzy and felt so small.
If you look closely, there are small holes the size of fists in the wall, and you can see the cold light shining in them, and you should have hidden weapons in them, ready to take the lives of the besiegers at any time.
The format of the gate is decent, it is a semicircular arched gate, but the gate of the gate is made of big hands.
The first gate is made of ironwood retrieved from the ice and snow in the northland, and weighs about 1,000 catties in total. As long as it is completely closed, the mechanism can be activated, and the iron hook buried in the ground will hook the gate, so you don't have to think about pushing it.
The second gate, which is not opened and closed in normal times, can only be opened from the city when it is opened at the end of the war, and it is a gate made of fine iron, and it takes more than 20 people to turn the mechanism to open and close the gate.
This is the third and final course. The switch is on the city tower, and as soon as the switch is turned on, the iron and stone on the city tower will fall down, completely sealing the gate, and the inside and outside cannot be communicated!
"No matter how Xiong's pass, who still has to guard the pass. Not knowing what to think, Li Jinzhong sighed and shook his head.
Along the way, several people got along very happily, and Li Jinzhong Tong was half a disciple of General Xun Yan, and he also talked about this king of weapons from time to time. said that his wisdom and courage were unparalleled, and that his combat methods were invincible, but he had been restrained by Yin of Youcheng Mansion, and it was difficult for him to exert his ability.
When you walk in, you can see that there are hundreds of Chinese characters digging trenches shirtless and shirtless downstairs. Among them, there was a tall, sturdy man who was constantly encouraging everyone at a loud voice, and from time to time he also told some pornographic jokes to boost morale.
"That person is General Xun. Tong Guan pointed to the man who looked at them and said, his face full of pride.
General Na Xun also looked at them at this time, and the yellow joke in his mouth naturally stopped, and as soon as his mouth stopped, others also followed his gaze.
When he recognized the person who came, General Xun turned around and pretended to be angry and scolded: "You Qiu Ba, if you don't work hard, what do you see? Although you can't be arrogant and destroy your own prestige, the prince of that Sang Kingdom is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and now you sweat a lot so that you can fight without bloodshed." ”
Everyone also knew his temper, and they all laughed and began to work seriously.
"Where have you two been these days? General Xun walked up, raised his hand and hit Tong Guan and Li Jinzhong's heads heavily. After the fight, they looked at Zhang Hui and Zhang Wu again and asked, "Who are they?" ”
Tong Guan looked around, wiped his mouth with his right hand, and said in a low voice: "I can't be angry, so I went outside and slaughtered a eunuch." They are the remnants of the Zhang family in Zhang County. ”
"Master Zhang's son, so big, you should be Zhang Hui. General Xun looked at Zhang Hui and said.
Zhang Hui nodded, which was a response.
Tong Guan and Li Jinzhong said that General Xun had no real power in the hidden city, but how could the people who could defend this city be simple? He had already figured out the nearby forces, and the Zhang family was the largest civilian "arms dealer" in the north, so General Xun would naturally have a good understanding.
At this time, Li Jinzhong interjected: "General Xun, the two of them are going to prison Yunguan, I don't know if there are mules or anything like that can replace them with leg strength, I don't think it's easy for the two of them to take a small child." ”
General Xun thought about it, suddenly laughed, and hooked his left and right hands to Zhang Hui and Zhang Wu, "Now is the time to serve the country." I've also heard some news, don't you want to take revenge? Now that I'm short of manpower on my side, you help us get through this time, and I'll give you two first-class BMWs when the time comes, and promise not to delay your time. ”
When Tong Guan told General Xun about killing the eunuch, Zhang Hui knew that he couldn't leave.
Eunuchs are nothing, it's just that their status in the frontier is a prison army, even if it's just a small prison army, sometimes they have to be cautious, for a "professional soldier" like General Xun, this kind of thing has to be dealt with seriously.
General Xun is also full of resentment towards the prison army, but he has to be cautious, so he has to leave Zhang Hui and them in case of emergency.
