After resting for a moment, the three brothers slid along the sloping sand slope to the bottom of the tower, took a long breath, and walked to the front of the tower.
The tower is as dark as a mirage, its tentacles are cold, and it's unknown what kind of stone it is made of.
"Tower of Babel!" Three big characters are engraved on the tower vigorously, which is intimidating.
Jin Taibao pushed open the tower door, shook the sand off his body, and walked in with his head held high.
The real Babel Tower does not have dozens of floors. Judging from the height of each floor and the overall height of the tower, it should be about five floors.
When I walked in, I saw rows of shelves with silver ingots neatly stacked on them. There were probably tens of millions of silver ingots packed in the huge space!
"Holy treasury? It seems that this is the legendary public treasury." Jin Taibao asked doubtfully.
"Shit, how can a real public treasury hold so much silver? Hong Xiuquan made it clear that he openly complained about poverty, but secretly built a private treasury. Otherwise, the four kings under his command would not fight each other, and there must be a share of the spoils.
The uneven component is there," Ma Tiexin said jokingly.
I agreed: "That's right, under the feudal system, how could there be a true public world? It was just a banner to confuse the people."
The first level of silver is not very attractive to us, and it is still silver with a low market value.
The three of us walked cautiously to the second floor. There were large boxes neatly placed on the second floor, all of which were well-proportioned gold bars. When all the box lids were opened, even the extremely wealthy Jin Taibao was shocked.
Heartbeat.
"You are really rich. I am afraid that the combined gold of my Jinxiang and two families is less than half of what you have here." Jin Taibao sighed.
"Don't forget that many of these are Hauge's private treasures from his days in the Southern Ming Dynasty and the rebel army."
This much gold was enough to negotiate the price with the president of the Assassin's Guild. With excitement, the three of us arrived at the third floor. The third floor was full of jewelry and jades.
"It seems that each layer is worth more than the next. My darling, we have to transport them all away. Our three brothers are definitely the richest people in the world." Ma Tiexin stuck out his tongue and said.
When we got to the fourth floor, there was a statue of four figures painted on the door.
"This thing looks like both God and Taoist gods. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is really in chaos."
Hong Xiuquan worshiped Christianity, so he naturally worshiped God. However, he was deeply influenced by local culture, so the God in his heart should be wearing Taoist robes, I explained with a smile.
The door opened and the three of them walked in!
As soon as he walked in, a solemn atmosphere hit his face. Rows of guards lined up on both sides. In the center was a shining golden throne. Sitting on the throne was a man wearing a scarf and a black robe with a simple face.
, with thick eyebrows and angry eyes.
The plaque on the top of the golden throne is engraved with the golden characters of Tianwang Hall.
"This person should be Hong Xiuquan. It's a pity that although this person started an uprising, he couldn't achieve it. He can be considered a hero." Jin Taibao commented pertinently.
"Well, let's go! Go to the last floor and have a look. I hope there is no legendary old man Yan, a good-luck treasure for our three brothers." Ma Tiexin said.
Just as I was about to leave Tenwang Hall, the fourth-floor tower door from where I came in automatically closed with a bang. The huge noise startled me.
"Don't worry, just go up." As I spoke, I walked towards the fifth floor of the tower. However, when I approached the door of the fifth floor, I was pushed back by a huge force.
I tried several times, using energy blasts and magic spells, but I couldn't open the door.
"If we can't get to the fifth floor, we can't know the whereabouts of the seven-star lantern. Is there really a mystery to the fourth floor?" I thought to myself.
Just as he was thinking about it, a cold laughter came from the fourth floor. The laughter seemed to be popping out from between the teeth, making people's hair stand on end.
"Is it possible that this dead old ghost is still up to something?" Jin Taibao frowned and slammed the golden halberd in his hand on the ground, making a sound of gold and stone, trying to suppress the weird laughter.
"God has given me the power to bring about troubled times, to eliminate demons and demons, and to educate the world..."
A hoarse voice came over.
I looked around and saw no one in the hall. I thought maybe it was the ghost or remnant of Hong Xiuquan who was screaming.
Souls often reincarnate, and ghosts like Hong Xiuquan, who have great resentment after death, are often extremely violent and will not stop fighting. It seems that a fierce battle is inevitable today.
"Heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, help me with my magical powers to destroy these stubborn people."
Whoosh, those sculptural stone statues exploded one after another, and ghost soldiers with red eyes came out one after another.
These were die-hard soldiers who followed Hong Xiuquan even though they were still alive. All of them were experienced warriors.
However, it was not difficult for the three of us. After a fierce battle, all the ghost soldiers were destroyed.
"If you have the guts to sacrifice your true body, don't pretend to be a ghost." Jin Taibao fiercely threw his golden halberd at the statue of Hong Xiuquan.
A flash of black light flashed, and the statue came to life, its whole body burning with black flames. It easily grabbed Jin Taibao's halberd with one hand, and with a flick of his finger, the halberd broke into two pieces.
"You dare to challenge me, you will die!"
The stone statue of Hong Xiuquan slowly stood up. He probably used his residual soul to control the stone statue to make it look fake, but it was enough to prove that this person's cultivation level in life was really great, and even his residual soul could have such power.
Every time Hong Xiuquan took a step, the hall trembled violently, and the demonic fire on his body burned more intensely.
Because Hong Xiuquan was backlashed by the Seven-Star Lantern, he went crazy and became evil. Not only did he become evil, he also injured his body, so the path he is taking now should be that of an evil spirit.
But how to break it is a big problem!
"Jinyang Finger!" Jin Taibao shouted coldly, flexed his fingers, and struck Hong Xiuquan's demonic body with all his sharpness.
Boom, Hong Xiuquan didn't resist at all. Every time Jin Taibao exerted force, the black flames on his body grew stronger.
How could this happen? Jin Taibao was shocked.
However, when he was distracted, Hong Xiuquan lightly stamped his palm on Taibao's chest. Jin Taibao retreated as if struck by lightning, his face pale and injured.
"Taobao, are you okay?" I quickly supported him.
"The more you beat him, the stronger he gets!" Jin Taibao stood up and said.
I quickly analyzed it using the Five Elements. As the saying goes, everything is inseparable from its original origin. Jin Taibao's golden vein energy not only had no restraint effect on the demonic fire, but actually encouraged it. The reason is not complicated.
Weak gold raises strong fire!
The strength of Hong Xiuquan's remnant soul should be higher than that of the three of us. Jin Taibao's Jin Yuan Qi is far weaker than his demonic fire. This is like adding wood to a fire, fueling the fire.
However, it is also clear that the energy he cultivated during his lifetime should belong to the fire type, and water can overcome fire. It is only weak water that can overcome strong fire, which is very difficult.
I came to deal with him. I blocked the two of them behind me and prepared to launch a tentative attack.
The light blue water energy on my body surged. At the same time, I observed the facial expression of the statue. When Hong Xiuquan saw the water energy flashing on my body, his expression changed. This showed that I was right.
wrong.
I don't know if there are restrictions on the remnant soul or for other reasons. He rarely takes the initiative, but just stays at a distance and waits for me to take action first.
I pressed a dozen water elemental palm thunders with each hand, and suddenly my feet were fixed on the ground, and they shot over like arrows.
"Thunder in the Palm!"
boom!
He seemed to be interested in testing my strength, but he still didn't take action. He was just struck by the thunderball.
Boom, the thunder ball exploded, and huge water elements mixed with thunder and lightning exploded on his body surface.
Stone chips were flying, and the demonic fire on his body was suddenly weakened a lot, but it was unable to cause fatal damage.
"I thought he was so powerful. The remnant soul is the remnant soul, and his strength is by no means as good as Zhang Da." I quickly made a conclusion in my mind.
This is a self-comforting statement. If a remnant soul can compete with Zhang Daxiang, wouldn't the original Hong Xiuquan be more awesome than Guan Shen?
"Old Ma, set up a water formation and trap him to death!" I shouted to Ma Tiexin.
"Great!" Ma Tie understood and took out a large handful of talismans from his pocket.
To deal with the dead souls, Taoist spells are often effective. As long as they are dead souls, talismans, and Taoist spells, they can have more or less bonus damage.
What Ma Tiexin and I taught was one of the Shui Yuan Xin Techniques. It wasn't very advanced, but it might be useful. It was called Shui Yuan Technique.
Runes of talisman paper floated into the air. Ma Tiexin and I bit our fingers and recited a spell quickly at the same time, drew blood and put the talisman on it. The yellow talismans suddenly flashed with white light and became watery spirits, dripping with water essence.
"rise!"
The paper talisman rotated in the air into a trigram shape, and swirled toward Hong Xiuquan.
In fact, Water Element Technique is not an offensive spell, but allows a separate space to absorb all the various breaths, leaving only the Water Element Qi.
Soon the yin energy in the air was absorbed by the water element, and dripped wetly through the talisman paper onto Hong Xiuquan's head.
He really hated Shui Yuan, and the demonic fire in his body began to dim.
But even so, he still didn't attack. I thought to myself, maybe this guy is just a paper tiger and not as scary as I thought.
Roar! He became angry, and formed a cross shape with his palms, and a black cross flame flew up.
I shot out a stream of water vein vitality with one palm, trying to dissolve the demonic fire. Zizzi! The demonic fire actually melted the vitality.
Damn it, pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger!
I was surprised, but the demonic fire had already burned my body. "Be careful!" Jin Taibao, who was rushing around, flew over and knocked me down.
The magic fire just passed over his head, whoosh! I looked up and saw that Jin Taibao's domineering bun and hair were already burning.
Damn it, Lao Qin, what should I do? Jin Taibao is also a tough guy. Without hesitation, he grabbed his hair and tore off his scalp. The pain made his face tremble.
The cool guy who was originally cool and stern now looks a bit like a disheveled tutu.
I couldn't think of a better way for the moment, so I could only lead the two of them back to the door of the fifth floor and think of a better plan later.
"It's really impossible to fight. Damn it, it's so powerful. If this were a real person, it would be easy to kill our three brothers with just a raise of hands." Ma Tiexin gasped.
"Don't worry, let me think about it carefully." I said.
