At this moment, the highest peak stands alone and stands thousands of feet tall. The entire mountain peak is shaped like the word "mountain". The mountain is high, broad and steep, with no gentle undulations. It is extremely steep and steep. When you reach the top, the huge mountain is like a knife. After chopping with an axe, three partial peaks were separated, which together guard the top of the peak and stand in the center of the basin like a lotus pillar reaching the sky.
The highest peak is often hidden in the clouds and fog, completely invisible. Only the misty mist and layered cirrus clouds on the peak can be seen, and there is no trace of any building at all.
Even though the sun is approaching and the sky is in full bloom, the fog still lingers on the peak.
About half an hour later, Yue Guanchao checked his pocket watch. It was already past twelve noon, and the sun began to turn from the side to the center. At the same time, the mist on the peak seemed to be evaporated by the heat, quickly exhausted, and then dispersed like smoke.
After the fog dissipated, the tomb on the peak appeared, and a tall and magnificent exquisite palace appeared above the clouds.
At this moment, the red sun is high in the sky, and the golden tiles of the palace are reflected by the sun, sparking a bright light. Under the cover of clouds, it looks more like a luxurious heavenly palace, which is jaw-dropping.
"We thought the Beifu Cenotaph was built underground, but we didn't expect it to be suspended in the sky like a celestial palace."
Sun Daqiao looked at this unique palace and couldn't help but sigh. At the same time, there was also a trace of doubt in his heart: "I think this mountain peak is extremely steep. There is not much vegetation on the mountain wall. There are neither mountain roads nor plank roads. How were the things consumed in this luxurious palace transported up there!"
Others are also curious about this question. The mountain peak is the highest among the peaks in the basin. Palaces like the Tomb of Clothes are more gorgeous than ordinary palaces. It takes a long time to transport every piece of earth and wood. There are no traces of the mountain road in front of you. It makes them wonder, is it possible that these Beifu soldiers can fly up!
Old Mrs. Wei pointed tremblingly at the cantilevered temples around her: "This mountain is called Tiantong Peak. I heard from the elders that the Beifu soldiers used the technology of high-hanging stacks to build plank roads by digging grooves in the mountain. A zigzag-shaped plank road high platform was formed on the stone wall. These high platforms not only served as patrol fortresses, but also used interconnected bridge platforms to transport things. It was with these platforms and plank roads that the Beifu soldiers were able to build the palace. Ship it up.”
"After the palace was completed, Beifu soldiers were afraid that someone would come up to cause damage, so they demolished the platform. From then on, no one could climb up through the platform. After another thousand years, even the traces of the grooves no longer existed. ”
Yue Guanchao asked again: "Since no one has climbed up, how did you Guifang people get there? Is it possible that you can still fly up?"
Old Mrs. Wei glanced at them with a sly look: "The Guifang people have lived in the basin for thousands of years. We have basically walked through every place here. Although this mountain is steep, it is still possible to climb it. Yes, but what the Beifu soldiers want is not to climb up, but to transport a large amount of earthwork, and it is most secure to build an easy-to-walk plank road on the stone wall."
"We Guifang people are walking through the patio path located in the mountain peak. When I take you to see it, you will understand."
Seeing that Old Mrs. Wei was confident, they no longer delayed, picked up the necessary equipment, followed the old lady down the Hanging Hall, and rushed to the Tomb of Clothes due east.
As mentioned earlier, there are three basins in the Guifang world, but the basin they are in is the smallest one. Even so, they have traveled at least nearly ten miles.
By the time they approached Guifang Tiantong Peak in the center, the clouds and mist had already covered the tomb again, and they successfully followed Mrs. Wei to the end of the river in the basin!
Everyone stood at the easternmost edge of the basin. The closer they got to the edge of the basin, the denser the peaks became. The wild mountains on the edge of the three basins were shaped like a "pin" and surrounded the Tiantong Peak in the center. They were intertwined with each other and stretched endlessly, forming stars over the moon. The pattern is like a river on the edge of the basin, which looks like a curved snake entering the deep mountains and can no longer be traced.
Old Mrs. Wei was afraid that they would be careless, so she explained: "This river leads to the foot of Tiantong Peak. It is a river left by ancient giants. If we want to pass quickly, we can only go by boat."
After that, she pointed to the port by the river. It was indeed visible that there was a ferry parked at the port. It was only seven or eight meters long and wide, which was not very big. It was definitely enough to carry them.
Yue Guanchao and Xu Xiake walked to the port. According to time calculation, these ports have never been used since the collective disappearance of the Guifang people. They have been abandoned for about fifty years. They are afraid that the pallets will be in disrepair for a long time. Very careful.
As for getting into the cabin, they did another detailed inspection. Although these ferries were in disrepair, they were indeed made of high-quality materials and were still very strong after decades of use. After confirming that they could slide, they nodded to the people around them and asked them One after another they walked onto the cabin and set sail on the river.
Away from the port, the river gradually widens, and the water flow is very fast along the way. It doesn't take many people to slide and move towards the deep mountains. The peaks on both sides fly past like a revolving lantern. After about an hour, they are already approaching Tiantong Peak.
At the end of the river, other tributaries are constantly flowing in here, densely arranged like spider webs in the mountains. Yue Guanchao looks ahead and sees that a huge cave has appeared at the foot of Tiantong Mountain, and the river flows into it, annihilating layers of mist.
They parked the boat and docked, and walked into the cave along the narrow path near the river. The structure here is similar to the Wengcheng cave, but more primitive. There are giant caves and sinkholes formed by underground water erosion everywhere. The stalactites are intertwined and the caves are rugged. , even the walking paths are formed naturally, and are rugged and weird everywhere, giving the feeling of an underground alien world.
"Old lady, where do these caves lead to?"
After being far away from the entrance of the cave, although there were many sinkholes here, there were not many light pillars. The light source was really limited and it seemed chaotic and difficult to see. Yue Guanchao and the others had to hold up torches if they had them, or use flashlights if they didn't have torches, which made the surroundings a little brighter.
After their vision returned to normal, everyone looked at the stalactites above their heads and their eyes widened unconsciously.
The surface of the cave, which was originally made of stone, was covered with the corpses of Beifu soldiers. Mycelial flower trees sprouted from the corpses everywhere, like colorful splashes of ink, spreading to the top of all the caves.
The so-called jagged stalactites were actually corpses that had been wrapped in vines. Over the years, the rocks and soil had been deposited, forming solid stone pillars. As the flashlight flashed and swayed, only pale skeletons could be seen with their heads and tails hidden, wrapped in the stalactites.
The river is covered with dim light, and the shadows are shaking. Even if these corpses have been dead for nearly two thousand years, you can still see how tragic the situation was back then from the state of these mycelium flowers and trees. It can make people feel chills on the back, but also for thousands of years. The disaster experienced by the former Beifu soldiers is even more curious.
Mrs. Wei looked at these flowers and trees and explained: "These are the Beifu soldiers who wanted to escape from the cave."
"We know these are Beifu soldiers. What happened back then? Why didn't any of these Beifu soldiers escape?"
Yue Guanchao only heard Mrs. Wei mention that the Beifu soldiers were punished by Tiantong God, but there were only a few words. They only knew the result, but did not know the process.
Mrs. Wei sighed: "During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, after these Beifu soldiers found the world of Guifang, they successively built cantilevered cities at the bottom of the valley and opened various tunnels. In order to find the souls of the dead Beifu soldiers, they created the Tianpu Shen The idea is to use force to move the tomb of Tiantong God..."
Tianpu God has been in Guifang world for thousands of years and has long been the spiritual belief of Guifang people. The Beifu soldiers wanted to transfer Tianpu God, which was opposed by the leader and elders of Guifang Kingdom from the beginning. Guifang people also did this There were many conflicts with Beifu soldiers, resulting in numerous casualties on both sides.
After all, the Beifu soldiers are strong soldiers and horses. They are already strong and well-trained. The total number of Beifu soldiers in Wengcheng is one hundred thousand, while the total number of Guifang people at the same time is only seven There are 80,000 people, including the old, weak, women and children. If those who cannot fight are excluded, the number who can really fight the Beifu soldiers is only 10,000 or 20,000.
One hundred thousand people versus one to twenty thousand people, Guifang people knew the advantages and disadvantages from the beginning!
The Guifang people use consciousness to communicate. As long as a Guifang person is captured, it will be difficult for the Beifu soldiers to hold on and reveal their plans directly under the many interrogation methods of the Beifu soldiers. However, the Beifu soldiers do not communicate by consciousness. In the eyes of the Beifu soldiers, Later, the Guifang people's combat strategy was almost transparent, and they quickly defeated the Guifang country.
In other words, it was not that Guifang and Beifu soldiers compromised with each other, but that Guifang country, as the defeated party, presented its own Tianpu God as a tribute.
The Guifang people thought that they just wanted to use Tianpu God to continue building the grotto, but they did not expect that they actually took out a fish charm and sent it directly into Tianpu God's body. In just three days, drastic changes had already occurred. First, the Beifu soldiers They disappeared inexplicably, and then many Beifu soldiers seemed to have seen ghosts and began to pick up rocks and hit their own eyes. Wherever they went, they attacked each other as if they were contagious.
Nearly 100,000 Beifu soldiers disappeared without a trace in just one day. These people either became mycelium flower trees, or were eaten up by crazy animals, completely disappearing from Guifang Kingdom.
When the people of Guifang saw the tragic death of the Beifu soldiers, they realized that it was Tianpu God who was so angry that he did not hesitate to sacrifice the living people. However, when the Tianpu God never calmed down his anger, even the people of Guifang were affected and have been affected to this day.
In a few words, Mrs. Wei told everyone about the situation of the Beifu soldiers. Yue Guanchao recalled the situation of these people, and then thought about the craftsmen who ate the divine chicken. It was probably because they had some poisonous seeds implanted in their bodies. Will go crazy.
This also means that Tiantong God has mastered the world of Guifang to a meticulous level, allowing Beifu soldiers to be infected with these deadly mycelial toxins without being aware of it. This shows that the giant's consciousness is very important to the world. The influence of the ghost world is profound.
As they were talking, they had reached the end of the underground river. Further on, there was only an endless abyss. The river fell into the abyss, forming a waterfall hundreds of meters wide. The rumbling sound was like the roar of tigers and the roar of dragons. The mist spurted out and quickly soaked my face.
