This is a wooden high platform, with a radius of four feet and a height of ten feet. It is built only more than ten feet away from the colorful Nine Treasure Lotus Lantern. Under the feet, you can see the dense crowd of people surging like a tide.
In the original plan, this was a high platform for viewing.
It is also the place where the winner of the Nine Treasure Lotus Lantern is announced.
At this moment, this is the commanding heights of the entire Lanyin City. As far as the eye can see, the lights are extremely bright. This ancient city is like a legendary beast with thousands of eyes, blinking thousands of pairs of bright and deep eyes in the darkness. Eye.
Aoxuehua quietly looked at the man in black in front of her. His clothes were not luxurious, but his demeanor made people feel intimidating. She remained silent, holding a weak Xiaojiu in her arms, and the white cat was lying on Xiaojiu's back. chest.
The two of them had just stepped into the blooming flame flower, and originally thought they would be teleported outside the lighthouse. After all, the Jiubao Huiyuan Friends had already decided the final winner, and there was no need to stay there.
But she didn't expect that when she opened her eyes, she would appear here.
Ao Xuehua looked back at the Nine Treasure Lotus Lamp behind him and smiled slightly: "Did you find something wrong with the Nine Treasure Lotus Lamp? But it's probably a little late now."
The city lord in black looked at Ao Xuehua, who was not surprised at all, and sighed: "Young girl is very knowledgeable and capable. This lotus lantern is indeed in big trouble. It is a serious matter. Ji hopes to know that the girl identity."
Ao Xuehua calmly opened his collar, and the bloody orchid was still blooming there: "I don't think I need to explain too much."
Ji Li sighed and said, "There is no girl in our family named Lan. If the girl doesn't tell the truth, please forgive Ji for being disrespectful."
Ao Xuehua shook his head, his smile still bright: "Then just treat me like an outsider."
…
…
When the space inside the Nine Treasure Lotus Lantern began to turbulence, before Ge Sheng had time to react, the black-clothed mage quietly held his hand.
In the next moment, they had teleported out.
Ge Sheng blinked his eyes and felt that the surroundings were extremely dark, which was completely different from the four lights in the Nine Treasure Lotus Lamp. So he looked curiously at the mage in the darkness: "Where is this?"
The black-clothed mage quietly made a silent gesture, then pointed outside.
Only then did Ge Sheng realize that he and the black-clothed mage were in a cubicle. The room was extremely dark, but there was a window opening to the outside, where there was a dazzling seven-color lotus lantern.
No, Ge Sheng exclaimed. He saw a high platform standing closer, where he could see everything on the high platform clearly.
"Did you find something wrong with the Nine Treasure Lotus Lamp?..." The voice of Ao Xuehua came slowly.
But Xiao Jiu was in her arms, and around them, dozens of fully armed warriors were standing neatly behind a leading man in black.
Ge Sheng couldn't help being shocked, and tried to stick his head out of the window to let Xiaojiu escape, but as soon as he stretched his head out, he hit a transparent barrier at the window.
Ge Sheng tried to reach out and touch it, but was surprised to find that there was a substance as transparent as crystal on the window.
…
…
In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, he stood at a higher place. He was so high that when he looked down, he could only see the light of the lighthouse, as dim as a pea. Xingxi stood calmly beside him, always as peaceful as an immovable sculpture.
"It seems to have started." He looked at the lights below him, with a smile that was as gentle as a swan and as cruel as a wolf. "However, the senior sister and the child seem to be missing. Have you investigated enough?"
Xing Xi shook her head without any trace of shame or frustration: "It's outside the plane and cannot be explored."
Then she paused to answer the next question.
"It has begun." The girl's voice was extremely smooth: "The Eternal Night City Project has been officially launched."
…
…
Ao Xuehua shook his head, his smile still bright: "Then just treat me like an outsider."
Xiao Jiu couldn't help but hold her forehead, and expressed her incomprehension at Ao Xuehua's sudden disconnection: "Anyone with the surname Lan who displays the family emblem outside will be expelled."
"Then it looks like I'm going to be exposed." Ao Xuehua chuckled, looking at the man in black in front of him: "Will you burn me to death? Lord City Lord."
Ji Li has a tall and straight figure, and a rather handsome and strong face. If he were thirty years younger, he would still be a rare and handsome man. However, the years have left deep marks on his face. Obviously, his long career as a city lord will definitely have a certain impact on him. It destroyed his health to a certain extent. He looked at Ao Xuehua, shook his head and said: "Yi'er mentioned you to me just now and guaranteed that you have nothing to do with the saboteur. I don't know what you said to her. But a one-sided story is a one-sided story after all, and you must not be from Lanye. Without a solid identity, I cannot rule out your suspicion."
"The Lord of the City is quite sensible." Ao Xuehua smiled, but said something else: "The person who attacked your lotus lantern this time is so powerful that even if the city resists it, it will be nothing more than To the extent that the mantis is blocking the car, everything must have started now. What you need to do, City Lord, is not to resist, but to escape as soon as possible."
"I think except for the entire Lanye Empire and that academy, there may not be anything they are afraid of in this vast land."
When Ji Li heard her say such words, he suddenly understood something and was about to speak again.
White light slowly bloomed in the night sky.
They no longer cared about talking, and all turned back to look at the huge Nine Treasure Lotus Lantern.
This huge and colorful lantern has quietly stopped rotating. White light slowly radiates from the lantern, and the external colorful decorations begin to fall off the lotus lantern.
It's like a pure white lotus is slowly blooming from the heavy lotus clothes.
Ji Li stared blankly at the lotus lantern and said desperately: "No."
The hanging lantern decorations, the exquisite wood and stone carvings, and the layers of elegant painting and paper-cutting all fell off the lotus lantern, revealing its original body.
It was a pure jade-like White Lotus Lighthouse, with a straight tower several feet high standing in the center of Lanyin City.
The tourists and businessmen who were watching the lanterns under the lanterns laughed and laughed when they saw such a change in the Nine Treasure Lotus Lanterns. They discussed what novel tricks the city lord had come up with this year and which young talent was the one who finally won the Orchid Rhinoceros Lantern. .
But they didn't know that the city lord they were talking about was standing there with an ashen face, looking almost despairingly at the reborn Nine Treasure Lotus Lantern.
"The Great Hermit is hidden in the city." Aoxuehua sighed: "If it weren't for so many visions, who would have thought that such a rare and magnificent spiritual weapon would be placed on the streets of a busy city, letting anyone Touching and playing, the strange and ingenious thoughts of the stranger are certainly worthy of admiration, but the existence of seeing through all these disguises is even more terrifying."
Ji Li looked at the tourists and wealthy businessmen who were laughing and having fun under the lighthouse. He no longer cared about his image, his eyes were cracked, and he shouted hysterically at the foot of the tower: "Run away!"
The words "Run away quickly" rumbled like thunder, resounding loudly above Lanyin City, hoarse and desperate like the wail of a ghost.
The bustling crowd under the tower was all stunned. They were shocked by the thunder that echoed through half of the ancient city, but no one guessed that this warning came from the usually gentle and unsmiling city lord.
So they just stopped what they were doing and looked towards the high platform where the sound came from, hoping to hear the voice of the city lord.
But there is no more.
At the same time that Ji Li issued this warning, countless small light beams as white as milk were slowly sprouting from the Nine Treasure Lotus Lamp.
It was like countless crossbows about to eject sharp arrows.
Only Ji Li understood that those beams of light were not comparable to the so-called machine crossbows. In front of them, the most powerful bed crossbow was just a child's toy.
But there was nothing he could do.
He could only watch as the countless light beams seemed to be slow, but in fact they were taking shape as quickly as lightning, and then they launched a flurry of sharp arrows at the crowd below that was squirming like a swarm of ants.
No one would have thought that this lotus lantern, which was said to have protected Lanyin City for hundreds of years, would finally wield the sharpest butcher's knife towards the city on this night of lanterns.
