Ge Sheng and A Che are walking at the bottom of the lake.
Ge Sheng looked at the deep lake above his head. Only a dim spectrum of the originally bright sunlight was floating on the vault of the corridor. He could see swaying water plants looking around outside the layer of ice crystals. From time to time, schools of fish swam by above his head. , like a bird flying overhead.
This is the world under the lake, so real that it’s almost a fantasy.
A'che looked at Ge Sheng who couldn't move his eyes away, touched his nose and asked, "Is this your first time here?"
Ge Sheng nodded dullly, and then suddenly woke up: "Ache, isn't this your first time in Ye Ye City?"
"Yes." Ah Che nodded seriously: "But this is not the first time I have been to the Lanlan Imperial Capital. The snow-clothed corridor and the ice-crystal corridor are both made by saints, so there is no big difference?"
"Then." Ge Sheng couldn't help but ask, "Why not build a bridge?"
yes? Why not build a bridge?
Such a tunnel under the lake is so expensive and difficult to build that it is almost a miracle.
Then why not just build a bridge? No matter how difficult it is, it is impossible to break this crystal corridor built at the bottom of the lake?
"It's not impossible." A'che looked back at Ge Sheng and shook his head gently: "It's impossible."
She pointed to the lake above her head: "Do you know? How many bridges have been built here? Ten? Twenty? Thirty?"
She hugged the white cat and smiled and gave the answer: "In fact, since records were recorded, a total of seventy-four cross-lake bridges have been built on this lake, and the number that has been preserved is zero."
"This land has experienced as many wars as the stars. Perhaps no one can really count the number of tragic battles that took place around these two cities in the lake." Ache's eyes were surprisingly clear. She was originally so charming and lovely. The young girl now seriously acted like a historian writing down history: "Once a siege occurs, once a war breaks out, the first thing to do is to dismantle the city in the lake with this big lake as its natural moat. A bridge across the lake is used to isolate all attacks on land. When a siege occurs, foreign enemies often choose to besiege. The prerequisite for the siege is naturally to cut off all channels between the city and the outside world. Therefore, they will also choose to demolish the bridge. "
"Under such circumstances, in the end, the city finally chose to be self-declared, relying only on limited ferries for the exchange of materials and personnel." Ache said slowly, and then pointed his finger at the end of the corridor: " Then, that saint was born.”
"Saint Yue Yi, the founder of Ye Ye College, he has left too many legends, so it is only right to know that the corridor under his feet was also made by him." Ache told the man who had already passed away with some kind of longing. The person who became a legend: "So, Ye Yecheng became Ye Yecheng."
…
…
The words are long, and the words are short. Let's say that the two people walked in the corridor for half an hour before they saw a bright exit appearing in front of them.
"Finally we're here." A'che was delighted. She turned her head and looked at the walls of ice crystals around her and the fish swimming in the water far away outside the walls. She said briskly: "I'm leaving first."
After saying that, the green-haired girl with twin tails jumped up and rushed forward, hugging the white cat.
Ge Sheng was worried about Jie Ying - well, she was so simple - and quickly followed her.
Originally, the two of them were walking through the crowd in tandem, but Ah Che was like a lark escaping from its cage, with fast and agile steps, which made Ge Sheng, who was following closely behind, speechless.
Just as he was thinking about it, the girl in front of him suddenly stopped and let out a heartfelt exclamation: "Wow!"
"Ah!" Ge Sheng couldn't dodge. Although he had cultivated for thousands of eons, the distance was too close and his body hit him involuntarily.
"Control the wind." Ge Sheng spat out these two words lightly and quickly. A gentle air current lifted them up just as they were about to fall into pieces. Ge Sheng raised his head and was about to say something, but couldn't help but be stunned. Living.
He finally understood why Ah Che made that shocked move just now.
In front of him is a city of ice and snow.
The city wall is made of transparent ice as smooth as a mirror, more than twenty feet high and no less than five feet thick. The ice is engraved with complex and obscure magic patterns that shine with dark golden light, spreading like a dense net across the entire city wall. Inside.
This is a whole piece of ice, without any carving or decoration, without any stacking and grinding. It is as if a god froze the entire Broken Star Lake into ice, and then used his supreme supernatural power to dig out a huge iceberg that could surround an entire city. , then cut into neat city walls and embedded with golden threads to form powerful magic patterns.
In fact, the wall was literally cast in this way, overnight.
Under the city wall is a five-foot-wide snow-white torrent that flows endlessly. It is not an ordinary moat, but a terrifying weapon made entirely of flowing ice fragments. There is an icy mist in this long stream of ice and snow. Floating up like a mist that never dissipates.
Although there was a protective fence beside the river at this time, Ge Sheng could guess that even a thousand-man heavily armed heavy cavalry team would be instantly minced into flesh and blood powder and then frozen once they jumped down the deep ice and snow stream. for ice.
"Such a terrifying city." Ge Sheng said nonchalantly: "How did Emperor Yuantai conquer it?"
"According to historical records, Emperor Yuantai besieged the city for seventeen years, and organized more than thirty siege battles involving more than 100,000 people. Until the death of Saint Yue Yi, this battle pitted one city against the entire country. The long war has finally come to an end." A'che shook his head to drive away any unhappiness in his heart: "That Your Majesty really has terrible perseverance and patience, just like a lion that quietly waits for its prey to die."
Ge Sheng looked at the magnificent city of ice and snow in front of him, recalling the emperor and the saint who faced off in front of this city a hundred years ago.
The so-called meeting between the wind and the clouds, the so-called peak showdown, is nothing more than this.
One is a saint who single-handedly changed the entire history of mankind, and the other is the founding emperor who created the glorious Orchid Leaf Empire out of thin air.
A hundred years ago, they launched a seventeen-year war around this city, which ended with the death of a saint as the end of the war and the passing of an era.
That year was the year before the Lan calendar.
After that year, Emperor Yuantai established his capital in the Holy City of Lanlan, with Ye Ye City as his companion capital. The country was named Lanye, and the calendar was Lan Li. From then on, the Lanye Empire was truly established.
Therefore, the entire Lanye Empire was built on the corpse of a saint.
Ge Sheng couldn't help but sigh, and took another look at the city that was still impregnable even after such a war. An existence built with miracles like this could only be destroyed by an equivalent miracle.
Ge Sheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
