Chapter Forty-Seven: The Sealing Wall and the Sacred Tree
The gate of the Northern Regions Mansion is very lively, today is a big day for the entire Northern Regions, about a month ago, a group of people and horses have already set off for the south, the purpose is to prepare before the domain fight, and today is the day for the players to participate in the domain fight.
There are more than thirty carriages lined up at the gate of the domain mansion, which are full of juluo, and the wheels are nailed with glittering iron sheets, and even the dragon head of the set of horses is full of nobility, only to see the eyes of the passing crowd glowing, what a luxurious scene for the poor northern region!
The servant was busy carrying all kinds of luggage into the carriage, and at this time, a small figure emerged from the first carriage, it was the princess of the Northern Regions, Li Wangke, she ran back along a row of carriages, and every few steps, she stood on tiptoe and glanced into the sedan chair.
Finally, on the penultimate carriage she found her target, and when she saw that she was about to climb up, the servant next to her hurriedly brought the stirrup for her feet.
"Brother Xiaobai, I've finally found you!" Gu Xiaobai looked up and saw the little girl who suddenly appeared, looking at him with a smile on her face.
"Why are you here?"
"It's boring to stay with my dad, so I came to play with my brother. Li Wangke was still holding a rabbit in his arms, and after speaking, he held the rabbit forward and put it into Gu Xiaobai's arms.
"Do you really want to participate in the domain fight?" Gu Xiaobai always felt that it was too cruel to let such an extremely kind girl participate in the domain fight.
"I don't want to, but ...... If I don't do that, Mom and Dad will be angry. Li Wangke pinched the corners of his clothes, it has always been a practice to participate in the domain fight as a direct family, and of course Li Yuanxing and Wang Meisheng wanted their daughter to compete for the fruit of a divine tree, so it was obviously impossible not to participate.
"Wang Ke?" Wang Meisheng's voice came from outside the carriage.
"Your mom called you. Gu Xiaobai reminded and stuffed the rabbit back in.
Li Wangke silently took the rabbit and got out of the carriage with a pout, and after a while, Wang Meisheng's blame came.
"It's been a hard life. Gu Xiaobai shook his head, turned over and lay down.
On the window of the second carriage, Li Luoxing stretched out his head to look at Li Wangke, who had just jumped off Gu Xiaobai's carriage, with an unhappy face.
After about an hour, the carriage procession finally moved, the speed was faster than Gu Xiaobai imagined, and after a while, they left Kuncheng and walked all the way to the south.
After all, it is the main convoy of the mansion, the road is smooth, the people on both sides of the road see the fluttering "Li" flag and dodge one after another, the reputation of the domain in the northern region has not been very good, coupled with the unscrupulous oppression of the people below, resulting in the current domain has become an existence that everyone is afraid to avoid.
All the way to the south, at first it was a desolate Gobi, and then there were stones on the road, and the gravel on both sides of the road became more and more as the convoy advanced, until the third day, Gu Xiaobai saw the first piece of grass, which was particularly abrupt in this world.
"Whew!" Gu Xiaobai opened the curtain, and there was a group of wolves following the footsteps of the convoy on the desolate mountain in the distance, they were sometimes near and far away, but they never fell behind.
"Brother Xiaobai!"
I don't know when, Li Wangke slipped into Gu Xiaobai's car again.
"See, they're all my friends. Li Wangke lay beside Gu Xiaobai and pointed to the wolves on the mountain in the distance and said.
"Yes, you called them over?"
Li Wang nodded forcefully, puffing out his chest proudly.
Gu Xiaobai's heart was a little surprised, looking at the distance, there were more than two kilometers between the convoy and the wolves, but even if it was this distance, she could do it, and now he was even more curious about Li Wangke's ability.
"Have you tried to do anything else with your abilities?" asked Gu Xiaobai.
Li Wangke's eyes widened in confusion, "Ah? No, I'm just here to make friends." ”
Gu Xiaobai knew that her ability could not be so simple, and it was the first time he had come into contact with the psychological ability, and this field was still somewhat mysterious to him.
In the next few days, Li Wangke would sneak into Gu Xiaobai's sedan car whenever he had the opportunity, and it could be seen that although this little girl had a large group of animal friends, there were really few human friends.
From the moment he saw the first bush, Gu Xiaobai originally thought that there would be more and more green, but it backfired, the number of greens was still scarce, and he could only see two or three places every day.
On the sixth day after setting off from Kuncheng, just after breakfast, the convoy was on the road again, Gu Xiaobai was cultivating his ability, and the small car was "stormy" at the moment.
"Brother Xiaobai, I'm here!" Still the familiar pretty face, Li Wangke quietly got in, and the air flow in the sedan car raised her hair high.
Gu Xiaobai put away the ability, smiled and moved to the side, making way for her.
"Do you know how long it will take us to go?" Gu Xiaobai asked.
"I don't know, but it's almost there, look out the window. ”
Gu Xiaobai lifted the curtains, and what caught his eye was the spectacular scene at the end of the field of vision, the endless dark yellow wall almost went from one end of the field of vision to the other, although the distance was very far, but it was already able to appreciate its terrifying size.
"What's that?"
Li Wangke said word by word: "That is called the 'sealing wall', which is the dividing line between the north and the south. ”
"No, I mean the tree on the wall. "In the center of the field of vision, on the dark yellow wall sat a giant tree, with its lush branches and foliage, and its own height was higher than the wall.
"That's the sacred tree, and we're fighting for the fruit on it. ”
Gu Xiaobai never thought that the boundary between the two domains would be so simple and rude, yes, it was a wall, a wall that completely separated the two domains, and the giant tree grew directly on the wall.
"It's really...... Too ......" Gu Xiaobai wanted to say something, but he was speechless for a while.
"It's spectacular, isn't it, I was shocked when I first came here. Li Wangke looked out with a flushed face, and the shock brought by the thousands of miles of sealing walls was really indescribable.
Before sunset, the convoy had reached the wall, and it was only then that it was truly witnessed. The dark yellow wall is more than 30 meters high, and you can't see the end when you look up, and there are many climbing ladders on the inside of the wall, and you can go up to the top of the wall by following the ladder.
"I'm leaving, or my mother will scold me again. Li Wangke stuck out his tongue and got out of the car, and then everyone got out of the car. The convoy consisted of more than 200 people, including servants, cooks, grooms, and guards, and were busy taking the contents off the wagon.
The team leaders, Li Yuanxing and Wang Meisheng, began to climb the ladder, followed by Li Wangke, followed by a group of contestants.
Gu Xiaobai, who followed behind, found that it was not only the wall in front of him that could not see the roof, but also the lush trees around it, which was a scene that could not be seen at all in the Northern Regions.
Walking up the ladder, Gu Xiaobai took about five minutes to finally climb to the top of the wall, he measured it with his eyes, the width of the wall was about twenty-five meters, and the field above was still very spacious, it was suitable to be used as a test venue, but seeing the true face of the divine tree made him really startled.
The rhizome of the sacred tree is rooted into the sealing wall in this way, the material of the sealing wall is a large amount of sand, and the process of making it is basically the same as that of the sand house, but how the sacred tree stretched out the rhizome from this wall is really incredible, and looking up, the trunk of the sacred tree also extends upwards for a distance of dozens of meters, and the crown of the tree shrouds everything underneath, which looks magnificent.
"Isn't it spectacular?" Li Wangke jumped over.
"Yes, it's spectacular!"
"There's something better, follow me!" Li Wangke took Gu Xiaobai's hand and ran towards the other side of the wall.
"This is ......" Gu Xiaobai knew that since the "Sealing Wall" was the boundary between the Northern and Southern Regions, it was of course the Southern Regions in front of him, but the time spent in the Northern Regions made the scene in front of him extremely impactful.
"Isn't it pretty?"
The world in front of you is surrounded by greenery, the trees are endless, the river trickles through the trees, and the warblers dance above the forest.
"This ...... The gap is too big, isn't it?"
"That's right, that's why people in the Northern Regions want to run to the Southern Regions, and Mom and Dad have always been strict that people are not allowed to approach the wall, so this place has always been heavily guarded. ”
Not only are people not allowed to cross the wall in the Northern Regions, but it is also strictly forbidden in the Southern Regions, but who in the Southern Regions would be stupid enough to cross the wall and go to the barren Northern Regions?
"Looks like your parents haven't done anything good in years. ”
"Well, although no one says that, everyone thinks this in their hearts, and I can hear it. Li Wangke's expression was lonely, as if she was the one who made the mistake.
"But it's interesting that this tree grows in such a strange place. ”
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the distance, and the crowd began to move, and people walked towards the sacred tree.
"Let's go, the domain fight will only start tomorrow, and I will stay here for one night today. ”
In the distance, lights came from the trunk of the sacred tree, and tree houses were artificially pulled out of the trunk for people to rest.
"It's such an interesting place. Gu Xiaobai sighed.
The tree house allocated to Gu Xiaobai is not big, just a simple wooden bed, but it is condescending here, the air is good, Gu Xiaobai is very satisfied.
"Knock knock. There was a knock on the door, Gu Xiaobai got up and opened the door, it turned out to be Li Gonglun.
"The Domain Lord has something to see you. ”
Gu Xiaobai got up and followed him out, there were already passages thought to have been created in the huge tree trunks, here, Gu Xiaobai also saw some people he hadn't seen before, it should be the team from the Southern Regions to participate in the domain fight, they were also constantly looking at themselves, but they would deliberately keep their distance, before the domain fight began, there was no need to spend time on making friends.
Pushing the door into a larger tree house, Li Yuanxing was sitting in it, but he didn't see Wang Meisheng's shadow.
"Lord Domain, are you looking for me?" Gu Xiaobai was not polite, and sat on the side.
"You're also a smart person, so I won't go around in circles with you, I know, you're not from the Northern Regions. ”
