Chapter 45, Outside the Gate

The bottom of the water is indeed a pair of human bones, not the same color as white mud, but as transparent as a mass of frozen water.

The iron door was opened wide, and the sound of rumbling water resounded everywhere.Wrapped in the water and falling down, the living water hole on the surface of the quagmire was slowly closed, and the sound of screaming from above floated indistinctly downwards. Zhou Tan half-opened his eyes, turned over with force, his vision changed rapidly, and countless lights Dots gather and fly before your eyes.

After falling to the ground, it was difficult for the spiritual consciousness to come back into the cage. Zhou Tan walked a few steps in a dangling manner, stepping on it deeply and shallowly, and his arm was pulled by someone. He Lianyun called him in a low voice: "It's the end."

It was indeed at the end, there was a layer of solid sand under the feet, looking around, only two people looked at each other, the person who came down from behind was nowhere to be seen, the rope was broken, the gap was flat and smooth, I don’t know what it was, Cut off the whole thing with a knife.

Zhou Tan's arm was locked tightly, he waved away the grass stalk in front of him: "This is, where is it?"

He Lianyun didn't answer, but silently clenched his hanging arms, slowly staring around.

This place is not scary, but there are countless light spots flying back and forth.Transparent icicles pierced the sky, propping up a blue dome, and the water was like a thin film, surrounding the body. Under the iron gate at the bottom of the water, there was a transparent ice field.

Zhou Tan's breath in his mouth released, and he walked on the mud and sand unhindered. He moved forward lightly, his belt and wide sleeves flew away, like scattered flowers, floating in the water.

He Lianyun grabbed the man's belt and dragged him back, looked up and down, and said: "Too thin."

He Lianyun dragged the person who was too thin to the bottom of the water, and Zhou Tan stretched his head to look around. The sky-high ice field reflected a halo of whiteness.

Knives and swords can’t bear the strength in this place, the blade that stabs out is lifted by the huge buoyancy, but there are no incoming living things, red tail fish and transparent shrimp move around slowly, Zhou Tan reaches out to touch, The red tail slid over his fingertips, and with a flick of the fish's head, it disappeared without a trace.

The underwater fish and shrimps are extraordinarily transparent, and even the scales are extraordinarily light in color, extremely light cyan and red intertwined, like newly woven soft ribbons on the ice sheet.

"Confidentiality Department..." He Lianyun said: "No information has been cracked. It is neither a password nor an existing symbol. I have already sent a letter to Yanyun Tower."

The ninth-level road of Yanyun Tower has always been extremely fast, and everything is taken the most convenient way. There must be a reply within two days at most. Now it has been delayed for some time. I am afraid that it is difficult for Yanyun Tower to solve this weird problem. The ultimate mystery.

In the booklet that was painstakingly dissected the day before yesterday, there were only a few ghostly drawn symbols, and strange lines covered the entire page. The most conspicuous thing was still the so-called "thin gold body". When I went back, I spread my hands and had nowhere to start.

"Wait..." Zhou Tan said suddenly, he stopped and pointed forward: "There are human bones?"

-

The carriages and horses all moved towards the main entrance of the palace. There were many visitors on Suzaku Street, but in front of the side entrance, it was extremely deserted.

Lu Chengyan put down his fan to look at the young county king who was rolling in a wheelchair, with a gloomy expression on his face.

The information in his hands cannot be said to be small, and the secrets of the Zhongzhou Chamber of Commerce are not covered up by him.

But there has never been a message that mentions that the little county king of Yunzhou is a sick man who is too lame to stand up.

I only remember that when I went to the high platform on the outskirts of the city to pray for rain at the beginning of the year, this man's two legs were still walking very smoothly.

In a few months, he will have to rely on wheels for transportation. The maid with a low eyebrow came to push him, and the wheelchair rolled over the trimmed weeds in the courtyard, making a creaking sound.

The medicine bowl was also looked up by the maid, and an unspeakable smell of medicine came out, forcing him to take three steps back.

The sick man looked at Lu Chengyan with a blue face, his eyelids could not be lifted, and a sickness came to his face, and the anger was like a thread: "Why did the general come here, I don't need to mention it, I don't have the strength to listen."

He caressed his weak knee and pulled the thick blanket: "It's true that the general is trapped, but others are also too busy to take care of themselves."

Ji Bojing, Lu Chengyan silently recited his name, and indifferently opened his eyelids: "If the prince can't take care of himself, why don't you tell me why this year's Haiyinlian came from Yunzhou?"

"The general is joking. Where the Yunzhou girls go, where they stay, and who they marry are their own business. At most, they will be taken care of by their parents. There is no reason for me to take care of them."

"I remember..." Lu Chengyan said: "Heavy merchant ships passing through the Yunzhou Pass must carry the seal of the county king, and they can only be released after inspection. It shouldn't be, I don't know."

Ji Bojing's eyes opened suddenly, and a stern look flashed through his eyes. He held down his aching knee, and said with a low laugh, "I know, so what can I do?"

As the wheels passed by, he raised his voice and said, "How about leaving the general for dinner, the old wine from Yunzhou, try it?"

Then, leaning forward slightly on the wheelchair, he leaned close to the back of Lu Chengyan's ear, almost touching it, and said with a hot breath, "It's hard to guard against a stab in the back."

"Okay." Lu Chengyan replied.

"I heard that Yu Jinyan is doing idle work under the general, so why not call them together." Ji Bojing raised his voice again and said with a faint smile: "I studied at the same school when I was young, but I haven't seen each other for many years."

Yu Jinyan, whom the king said he hadn't seen for many years, was swiftly packed and delivered by the coachman who received the news. His sleeves were full of smoke from the explosion and traces of cinnabar friction.

He brushed off the blown hair from his forehead, and with a surprisingly fat snow-white fur rabbit under his arm, he stepped into the threshold.

The gloomy atmosphere was dissipated by the lights, and three seats were placed in the banquet living room.

"Jin Mingwei..." Ji Bojing glanced lightly, sat in the middle of the table, and said softly, "Why do both of them go to do idle work?"

"Good idle work..." Yu Jinyan put down the snow-colored white rabbit, and a ball of fur floated down, lying motionless on his knee: "If you are free, you have money and fame."

Ji Bojing couldn't help laughing, pointing to the open wine cup: "Have a taste?"

The aftertaste of aged wine was quite strong, and the smell of alcohol, smoke and medicine flew around in the room, all mixed together, Ji Bojing covered his nose, coughed and asked, "What are you doing in Jin Mingwei?"

"Alchemy." Yu Jinyan said, stretching out a pair of chopsticks, the head of the rabbit on his lap poked out, and a head also rested on the edge of the table, writhing around.

"What do you do alchemy?" Ji Bojing asked.

"Is there anyone in Jin Mingwei who can do business?" Yu Jinyan laughed, but asked back: "Business, cause trouble."

No one bothered to mention the thin horse in Yunzhou, so Yu Jinyan only caressed a rabbit on his lap, its head rubbed against his wrist, with a lettuce leaf in its mouth: "Why are you lame?"

His tone was light, and there was almost no wave.

"I'm just lame..." Ji Bojing said, "In a few months, I'll be able to stand up, exactly how did I hurt—"

Yu Jinyan didn't answer anything, he keenly sensed something strange, just knocked his cup and said: "No need to elaborate."

Ji Bojing didn't mean to expand, she just nodded and said, "Have a drink."

-

The bottom of the water is indeed a pair of human bones, not the same color as white mud, but as transparent as a mass of solidified water, presenting a transparent color between blue and cyan.

Zhou Tan took a closer look: "Why is this human bone so colorful?"

The skeleton still maintains a sitting posture, with its limbs stretched.The eyeballs have disappeared, and from the deep holes in the eyeballs, there is an indescribable luster.

But an inexplicable majesty remained in the air, only the skeleton remained, as if the wind was still standing.

He Lianyun seemed to remember something, and said: "I remember that there seemed to be some rumors in the early years, but it has been too long, and it has become blurred."

"I remember!" A cry came out suddenly, and Mani shook off the water plants above her head: "A hundred years ago, stargazers sat in the naozi and turned into stars. I still think it's some nonsense, it seems to be true."

Rumors of half-truths and half-false are flying around, and people's mouths have already changed their appearance. He Lianyun remembered the weird chats at the dinner table when he was young, and slightly pulled the corners of his lips: "Yes, I have heard of it too."

"Stargazer, what is it?"

"Probably has the same meaning as the fortune-telling in the south." Mani thought for a while and said, "My master's master is said to be the earliest stargazer."

"Fortune-telling?" Zhou Tan choked, he didn't bother to correct Mani's statement, he saw the skeleton moving slowly, and on its face, there was even a faint smile.

As if hearing Mani's whispers, the skeleton slowly sank from the seat, and the ice sculpture-like seat rotated around, and with the loud noise behind it, a new passage was opened.

Behind it, there is another green oasis, the continuous grass weaves into waves, and the bright green fills everyone's vision.

There were screams, and several people stumbled and slid over from the side, shouting: "It's an oasis."

There is too little fresh green in the north, and you always see only a tip of grass, and the pear blossom tide arrives in a hurry, half a year's livelihood has to give way to it, and the overwhelming snow can slide all the way from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley.

This kind of green is too fresh and too bright, like a woven green blanket, welcoming a group of people, approaching the clear lake in the center of the oasis.

The lake in the center is small in size, and its arc is shaped like a pearl, embedded in the center of the green grass waves.

Zhou Tan quietly turned his head and called He Lianyun softly, "It's Bilianbo grass."

Bilianbo grass has been misnamed for too long. In the pots raised by Zhou Tan, there are only young grasses that are too weak, but the green here can be said to be the blue color of continuous waves. They are piled together layer by layer, almost touching to the person's waist and hips.
