On the appointed day, someone drove to invite them. However, the carts were not pulled by horses, but by several huge animals with both scales and feathers. They were probably some kind of monsters unknown to them. These
The animals are not docile. They have heavy, barbed shackles on their bodies. As long as they struggle a little and don't follow the prescribed direction, they will be injured. The driver of the car is holding a metal chain, which is also barbed.
This kind of car would probably not be used if it were given to any of them. The car was originally very spacious, but because the equipment was too heavy, it could not carry too many people at one time. Five people were divided into two cars. Bai Ya, Qi Huan and
Mr. Shuangyue was together. Qi Huan was sandwiched between the two of them. Neither of them spoke. One was like wood and the other was like stone. They both had straight faces. He felt uncomfortable all over and felt that he was about to suffer from ADHD.
"Lao Bai, can you put away your knife?" Qi Huan carefully opened the blade on the bumpy road and almost cut his hand.
"If you have any objections, jump off the bus."
"Tsk, I won't let you talk." After the communication failed, he turned to Shura who was waving his whip in front and asked, "Brother! Er, Your Majesty, is she also traveling with us? Which car is she in?"
"The king wants to fulfill his friendship as a landlord and sets off early."
With a "snap" of the whip, he accelerated the driving speed, fearing that he would waste time and neglect the queen. Although the coachman was not very kind, he was still able to talk well. So Qi Huan chatted with him for a long time.
I was tired of talking to my elder brother, so I simply ignored him.
Along the way, the coachman drove faster and passed Aoyan's car, as if he wanted to reach the destination quickly so that this person could shut up. But Qihuan kept chattering, and even if no one answered, he didn't feel embarrassed at all. Until
He asked a question before the coachman spoke again.
"Except for your king, I seem to have never seen any women among your Shura."
"unnecessary."
"No need? Then you... just, how, uh, how did you..."
Qi Huan glanced sideways at Bai Ya and found a line of words written on his face:
You talk a lot of nonsense.
"Here, there is no need to be a woman." He answered unexpectedly seriously, "At least not now. Most of the female Shura are charming and charming. When the country was first founded in the past few years, the foundation of the country was unstable, so there were female Shura to win over the people.
Now everyone, young and old, knows how important it is to have martial arts body protection. How can you stop foreign enemies with your beauty? Only a tall and aggressive posture will work. Except for the king, all the women have gone back, and all those who came are men.
"
"Hmm...?" Qi Huan was stunned for a moment, "Go back? Aren't you living in Wu Kingdom?"
"Go back to the Shura Dao." He said simply, "There is no need for female Shura now."
"Oh, okay..."
Qi Huan actually didn't understand much and agreed vaguely. He didn't know how they came or how they got back. Maybe there are six spiritual veins that can still be used somewhere in the Wu Kingdom. Bai Ya and Shuang Yuejun suddenly crossed
Qi Huan quickly looked at each other. They were not interested in this topic, but they both understood the meaning of the current words.
They finally arrived at their destination. When they got out of the car, they immediately saw a magnificent, almost pure white building in the distance. But in front of them was a tall city wall that looked airtight.
"Feel honored!" said the driver. "Most people can't come to this place and can only see it from a distance. Okay, get off the car and walk the rest of the way on your own legs."
While they were talking, Aoyan and Shenghan also got out of the car and joined them.
"Hurry up." One of the heavily armed Shura warriors stationed here said, "The king has just arrived, so don't waste time."
They looked at the door, and saw a wild-looking chariot made of twisted scrap metal also parked there. They didn't know if it was the king's vehicle.
The thick iron gate slowly lifted up, like a huge guillotine. After passing through the city gate, it immediately smashed down and was deeply embedded in the ground again. Before passing through the city gate on the opposite side of the wall, they seemed to be imprisoned.
They are as uncomfortable as being in a cage. After that, there are still a lot of "uncomfortable" waiting for them.
This place is heavily guarded. There are walls after walls, one after another. They are too lazy to count how many there are. The distance between each city wall is not far, about three walls thick, and the materials of the walls seem to be different.
Stones of different colors. They walked around and experienced many inspections. They even felt that the guards here were stricter than those in the Imperial City. E-book House
Finally, they arrived in front of the rumored Temple of War.
Just like the rumors, even though they were mentally prepared, they were still shocked when the layers of buildings like large mausoleums appeared in front of them. As they got closer, they discovered that it was not "brick by brick".
So white. The color of each bone is slightly different. Looking closely, some bones are yellow-brown and some are gray-white. It may be related to time or type. But after they have seen too many depressing and dark dark colors,
After the construction, the palace in front of you is still eye-catching. It is dazzlingly white under the blue sky. The walls, pillars, bricks and tiles are regular. If you ignore the materials, it will make people feel very grand. Different species are cleverly used in different places.
, the bones in different parts are inlaid and connected, and they can't see a single nail. Years of wind and sun have caused tiny holes to appear on their surfaces. Even the famous Temple of War does not seem to pay attention to maintenance.
"Every bone has been specially treated - every one!" the guard leading the way said proudly, "Those processes are very important. They have all been baptized by witchcraft. This is the art of our Shura!"
They didn't dare to answer, they just glanced around, looking for other guards. There were not many guards in the center. There were only two people stationed in front of the only door, one on the left and one on the right, like door gods.
The place was airtight and eerily quiet. They walked forward slowly, matching the suffocating solemnity.
"Wow……"
After walking into the temple, Aoyan and Qi Huan couldn't help but let out small sighs. From the moment they entered, they only saw overwhelming bones. Even the stacked candlesticks hanging from the dome were made of bone. The floor was
Round white stones one after another were densely embedded in the soil. Lord Shuangyue suddenly squatted down and touched a stone with one hand.
"It's a skull."
Jun Aoyan jumped suddenly, and Qi Huan also felt that his legs were weak. Although the reactions of others were not that big, they felt that the soles of their feet were somewhat hot and numb.
"All of them?"
"Yes...but they don't seem to be all humans or monsters." Shuangyue Lord glanced over, "The sizes are uneven, and there are probably a lot of animals mixed in. Otherwise, it would not be so full, and there would not be so many - Jiutian Kingdom
Even if all the residents are killed, there won’t be enough to pave the way.”
"Oh..." Qi Huan breathed a sigh of relief, but was still a little nervous. On the contrary, Jun Aoyan became a little angry.
"It's really outrageous... They actually mixed humans and animals together."
"From the bottom of my heart, I just treat the loser as prey or livestock." Bai Ya recalled King Shura's words at that time, "The cornerstone... Tsk, he is actually even more arrogant than Garuda."
"Shh, keep your voice down." Liu Shenghan lowered his voice, "It's not good for the leader to hear you."
In fact, what they were amazed at at first was not the bones, but the furnishings that could be seen at a glance - the sculptures. They were all majestic, lifelike and lifelike. When they looked closer, they saw the glaring faces.
It seems like they will come alive at any moment. These statues are going to
It is much more exquisite than the ones on the street. I think those are just imitations carved by inferior stonemasons. Even if they are painted, they are difficult to compare with the things in this place. Although the portraits here are not painted, one or two of them are like big paintings.
It's like a human being, but I don't know how skilled craftsmen can make it.
They didn't know what material these sculptures were made of. They didn't dare to touch them. The guard who led them in warned them not to move. Just by looking at them, they couldn't be sure. They might be the special stones of Jiutian Kingdom. However, the guards' attention
Li was not paying attention to their whispers at the moment. He looked around for a while, then suddenly turned to the door and asked something. After getting the answer, he came back with a complicated expression.
"The king was supposed to be waiting for us outside the palace." He frowned, "But... they said that the king seemed to have noticed something unusual and took his bodyguard to the depths in advance."
"How is that possible?" Qi Huan was stunned, "Then, should we wait here, or -"
"His Majesty said that if a guest comes, he will be brought directly in to find her. Well...don't make sure...something happens."
He spoke the second half of the sentence vaguely, and no one could hear clearly. He was probably talking to himself. In short, they followed him inside. Along the way, some sculptures were set up on both sides.
Some were displayed in a special small space, and some were built in rooms. They only followed the guards and did not dare to look more. After all, the Shura monsters were extremely ferocious. Among the sculptures they had seen, there were only a few human beings.
Not much.
Along the way, every time the guards swept through an empty room at the door, the worry on their faces became more and more serious. Of course they noticed something was wrong, and looking at the increasingly nervous face, they were too embarrassed to ask more questions, so they just followed. Everyone
The time left for them to visit each place and each sculpture was not too long, as if the purpose of coming here was to play hide-and-seek with His Majesty and the others.
Finally, they came to the deepest hall. The guard's footsteps became slower and slower, as if he was very reluctant. The moment they arrived here, the guard froze, as if he had been immobilized. Sweat flowed from him.
It was dripping down his body like a small river, but it was clearly so cold here. His body became stiff, and every step he took made people suspect that there would be a clicking sound.
What did he see? His eyes seemed to start to straighten the moment he saw something.
