Pawn Crossing the River

Chapter 64: The Hanging Tower After finishing his words, a pair of cold palms suddenly came out from the wall behind Qi Xuansu, and tightly grabbed Qi Xuansu's throat. Qi Xuansu immediately felt the breathlessness he had not seen for a long time, and his face was white. It turns red, and soon the red turns black.

Qi Xuansu subconsciously removed the hands that were holding his throat, but found nothing.

These "yin soldiers" are somewhere between reality and reality. They are real when they hit people, but they are virtual when they are beaten. They are very unreasonable.

At the critical moment, it was Zhou Mengyao who used his divine power in his hands and slapped the black figure around, then naturally let go of Qi Xuansu's neck.

"The Yin Soldiers let out a sharp beak, instantly alerting the other "Yin Soldiers". Countless shadows screamed for a response and rushed towards the two of them.

Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao felt their scalps go numb. If they fell into the siege of these "yin soldiers", they were afraid that they would be left here to "charge hard!"

Zhou Mengyao made a quick decision, took off his cloak and threw it to Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu took the cloak and wrapped it around him, relying on the power of the cloak to leave the ground.

The two of them flew over the heads of many "Yin soldiers" together.

The "Yin soldiers" stretched out their hands one after another, intending to catch the two of them.

Visible to the naked eye, the "Yin Soldiers" are growing longer, just like the silhouettes of their backs that grow longer as the sun sets.

It's just that the two of them were flying fast enough, and they still narrowly escaped the capture of the "sinister soldiers".

The Governor's Mansion is already close at hand.

After crossing the high wall, we entered the area of ​​the Governor's Mansion.

Although there were no "yin soldiers" in the governor's mansion at this time, there were monsters everywhere, but these monsters were still wearing the clothes of the army and the armor and stomach of the army.

Obviously, it's not that there are no people here, but that everyone has undergone mutations under the influence of Yin Qi.

Maybe Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao arrived too late, and they wasted too much time in the fog; by the time they arrived at Cangyun Castle in the underworld, everything here was already heading for destruction.

I saw a dilapidated scene in the Governor's Mansion. It seemed as if a fierce battle had taken place here. Everything I could see was broken walls, broken wood and rocks everywhere, and it was almost turned into ruins.

Have they arrived in the future? Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao landed on a roof. There happened to be a big hole here. They jumped down and saw the same ruthlessness. It seemed that someone had been defending here. Not only had all the windows been sealed, but also Use bookcases and desks! It was blocked, so there was only one human body here and no monsters.

Qi Xuansu checked the house. Judging from the official uniform he was wearing, this person should be the chief historian of the Governor's Mansion, and he was considered to be a high-level official in Cangyun Castle under Li Yuanjing.

There is also a last-minute letter in Hutai's sleeve. It probably means that Yangjian has not sent anyone here for a long time. The "yin soldiers" are getting more and more crazy. There is another rebellion in the city. There is no way to save it. This letter should be left. To Li Yuanjing, this also confirmed Qi Xuansu's judgment that they had indeed traveled through time.

In this way, because the Yellow Coin Army of the Taiping Sect overthrew the rule of the Dudu Mansion in the Yang world, the Dudu Mansion in the underworld lost its foundation and became a rootless duckweed, eventually leading to destruction.

Zhou Mengyao sighed: "Now that the matter is over, let's go to the watchtower first."

Qi Xuansu had no objection.

At this moment, countless shadows had poured into the Governor's Mansion, seemingly in conflict with those monsters. Through the closed doors and windows, one could vaguely see a ghostly shadow outside, twisted and horrifying.

The two of them no longer hesitated, jumped onto the roof again, and flew towards the direction where the watchtower disappeared. Suddenly, sharp whistles sounded from all directions at the same time, as if they were the screams of many people in despair and fear, revealing the Gothic spirit. , the various negative emotions contained in it are so strong that they can even overwhelm all reason.

Countless screams gathered together, overwhelming the sky, and there was no other sound in the world. However, the two of them still managed to keep the mourning platform clear, and reached the old site of the watchtower with great difficulty.

For a moment, Qi Xuansu once again experienced the trance-like feeling he had when he entered the mist. It seemed as if everything had gone away, and some memories became blurred. According to Zhou Mengyao, the two of them experienced another time distortion.

Following this time distortion, those pervasive sharp voices and the "sinister soldiers" chasing them finally retreated and disappeared.

The two of them looked up and saw that there was indeed no watchtower here, there was only a huge gap in the ground.

The Cangyun Castle of the underworld hangs high above the bottomless abyss, so below the gap is an invisible dark world, just like what Qi Xuansu saw before through the crenellations of the city wall, but there are still some buildings on the edge of the gap It seems that this place was not a gap originally, but that there was some kind of building that was just destroyed.

This gave Qi Xuansu some new associations.

Why did those "yin soldiers" attack Cangyun Castle in the underworld? Could it be because the "yin soldiers" want to destroy this building? Zhou Mengyao carefully inspected the remains of these buildings and discovered a very surprising fact.

These ruins are upside down. The part above ground is actually the foundation, and the part below ground is the main body of the building.

In other words, there was originally a building here, but this building was not built upwards, but downwards, which is completely opposite to the entire cloud castle in the underworld.

This is also different from ordinary underground camps or underground mausoleums. Although the underground camps are located underground, they are still built in the opposite direction, but this building is built in reverse, and even the mural patterns on the walls are reversed.

However, in a sense, the underworld and the Yang world are upside down. According to the standard of the underworld being closed at the bottom and the earth at the top, Cangyun Castle in the underworld is the upside down one. On the contrary, this destroyed building is the normal one. One by one, they stood on the earth and headed towards Guan Kong.

An upside-down building that is built downwards but looks upwards at Guan Kong.

Only in the underworld can such a spectacle be built. Unfortunately, this building has been destroyed, and most of the building remains have fallen into the bottomless abyss below.

Zhou Mengyao frowned: "This Cangyun Castle is already in the underworld. The exit from Jiuyou should be under Cangyun Castle. Maybe the exit door is in this building."

Qi Xuansu stared at the ruins of the building on the edge of the gap and said: "The original building here was not a watchtower, but an inverted giant tower, just like the legendary Tower of Babel, extending from the ground to the sky, but it was just the inverted sky of the underworld.

Perhaps this is the fundamental purpose of Li Yuanjing spending thousands of years planning major events.

Now the tower is broken and has fallen into the abyss. "

Zhou Mengyao lost the kindness he was used to pretending on weekdays, and his face was cold and serious: "This building was destroyed by man, and we were a step too late."

With Zhou Mengyao's current ability, it is obviously impossible to repair such a huge tower.

The two overthrew the Governor's Mansion in the Yang world through the Taiping Religion, and the Governor's Mansion and the giant tower in the underworld were destroyed as a result. As a result, Qi and Tuesday people personally ruined their hope of leaving this place. The cause of yesterday is the result of today.

One drink and one beak, could it be destiny? Is this the general idea of ​​this world? Zhou Mengyao even had the illusion that the false moon above his head was not only watching them, but also secretly laughing.

This gave her the urge to break the moon. Just when Zhou Mengyao was deeply angry, Qi Xuansu said: "Maybe I can repair this giant tower, but you have to help me and risk all the divine power of both of us. Then it depends on luck.”

Zhou Mengyao frowned, but still said: "It has reached this point, let's treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor."

Qi Xuansu stopped talking, but opened his Sumeru object and took out the Guizang lamp."

The time here is chaotic, Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao have already encountered two time distortions.

Therefore, the "Guizang Lamp", which is also related to time, may be able to exert a wonderful effect in this special space that far exceeds that of the human world - there is precedent for this.

Zhou Mengyao recognized "Gui Zang Deng" at a glance. She was plotted by this person last time! At the same time, Zhou Mengyao also felt that many clues in his mind were about to connect: the time in the underworld would be distorted, the "Gui Zang Lamp" was in the hands of Qi Xuansu, and Qi Xuansu and Qiniang had a relationship like old acquaintances. …． But at this moment, Qi Xuansu interrupted Zhou Mengyao's thoughts again: "Inject divine power."

Zhou Mengyao collected his thoughts and poured divine power into the "Guicang Lamp" as he was told.

Qi Xuansu also began to inject divine power, and saw the light of the "Gui Zang Lantern" gradually brightening. With their current cultivation level, it was impossible for them to control the "Gui Zang Lantern" by force. "Hidden Lantern" appears, so as Qi Xuansu said, it depends on luck.

Obviously, the two of them had good luck this time, and the "Gui Zang Deng" uncle was very considerate.

Qi Xuansu raised the "Guizang Lamp" high, letting its light shine on the remains of the building, and said loudly: "Look back in time and restore it as before!"

For an instant, time stopped, and the underworld, which had no color to speak of, was completely frozen in black and white. The next moment, everything within the gap began to flow backwards, as if the earth's energy was going backwards.

The various building fragments that had fallen into the bottomless abyss flew up from the abyss again, and were constantly spliced ​​back into their original appearance.

Floor tiles are spliced ​​together to form the floor, wall tiles are piled up to form walls, tiles are spliced ​​into eaves, and even rusty copper bells fly out of the abyss, and then lose their patina at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming brand new and hanging again on the On the eaves corner.

The various talismans, mantras, and totems on the walls also reappeared, bringing together the strengths of Taoism, Buddhism, and ancient shamanism, showing the great significance of this giant tower.

In the blink of an eye, the base and first floor of the upside-down tower had been traced back. Then another broken tower body flew up from the abyss and was rejoined with the base, making the upside-down tower taller and taller. , the spire extends all the way down to the unknown depths of darkness, a tower hanging upside down to reach the sky.

There are a full thirty-three levels, corresponding to the thirty-three days of Taoism.

The "Guicang Lamp" in Qi Xuansu's hand gradually faded away, and Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao were also beaten back to their original shape because they had gambled all their divine power.

In other words, even if he tried to return to the underworld through the Governor's Mansion and Cangyun Castle, he would not be able to do so.

Now we can only walk all the way to the dark, go down to the top of the tower, and leave this place from under the Nine Netherworld.
