As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of cold hands suddenly came out from the wall behind Qi Xuansu and grabbed Qi Xuansu's throat tightly.
Qi Xuansu immediately felt a suffocation feeling that he had not seen for a long time. His face turned red from white, and soon turned black from red.
Qi Xuansu subconsciously tried to break away the hands that were holding his throat, but missed.
These "yin soldiers" are somewhere between reality and reality. They are real when they hit people, but they are virtual when they are beaten. They are very unreasonable.
At the critical moment, it was Zhou Mengyao who used his divine power in his hands and slapped the black figure around, then naturally let go of Qi Xuansu's neck.
The "Yin Soldier" let out a sharp howl, instantly alerting the other "Yin Soldiers". Countless black shadows screamed in response and rushed toward the two of them.
Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao felt their scalps go numb. If they fell into the siege of these "yin soldiers", they were afraid that they would be left here.
"Charge hard!" Zhou Mengyao made a quick decision, took off his cloak and threw it to Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu took the cloak and wrapped it around himself, relying on the power of the cloak to leave the ground.
The two of them flew over the heads of many "yin soldiers" together.
The "Yin Soldiers" stretched out their hands one after another, intending to catch the two of them. Visible to the naked eye, the "Yin Soldiers" were continuously lengthening, just like the backs of the "Yin Soldiers" that continued to lengthen as the sun set.
It's just that the two of them were flying fast enough, and they still narrowly escaped the capture of the "sinister soldiers".
The Governor's Mansion is already close at hand.
After crossing the high wall, we entered the area of the Governor's Mansion. Although there were no "yin soldiers" in the Governor's Mansion at this time, there were monsters everywhere, but these monsters were still wearing the clothes and armor of the officers and soldiers.
Obviously, it's not that there are no people here, but that everyone has undergone changes under the influence of Yin Qi.
Maybe Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao arrived too late. They wasted too much time in the fog. By the time they arrived at Cangyun Castle in the underworld, everything here was already heading for destruction.
I saw a dilapidated scene in the Governor's Mansion. It seemed as if a fierce battle had taken place here. Everything I could see was broken walls and ruins. There were broken trees and rocks everywhere, almost turning it into a ruins.
Have they arrived in the future?
Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao landed on a roof. There happened to be a big hole here. They jumped down and saw that it was also a mess. It seemed that someone had been defending here, not only sealing all the windows, but also using
The bookcase and table blocked the door, so there was only a corpse here and no monsters.
Qi Xuansu checked the corpse. Judging from the official uniform worn by the corpse, this person should be the chief historian of the Governor's Mansion, and he was considered a high-level official in Cangyun Castle under Li Yuanjing.
There is also a final letter in the sleeve of the corpse, which roughly means
#Every time verification appears, please do not use incognito mode!
I thought it had been a long time since Yangjian sent anyone here, the "yin soldiers" were becoming more and more rampant, another rebellion broke out in the city, and there was no way to recover.
This letter should have been left to Li Yuanjing, which also confirmed Qi Xuansu's judgment that they had indeed traveled through time.
In this way, because the Yellow Turban Army of the Taiping Sect overthrew the rule of the Dudu Mansion in the upper world, the Dudu Mansion in the underworld lost its foundation and became a rootless duckweed, eventually leading to destruction.
Zhou Mengyao sighed: "Now that the matter is over, let's go to the watchtower first."
Qi Xuansu had no objection.
At this moment, countless shadows had poured into the Governor's Mansion, seemingly in conflict with those monsters. Through the closed doors and windows, one could vaguely see a ghostly shadow outside, twisted and terrifying.
The two of them no longer hesitated and jumped onto the roof again, heading towards the direction where the watchtower disappeared.
Suddenly, sharp whistles sounded from all directions at the same time, as if many people were screaming in despair and fear, revealing hysteria. The various negative emotions contained in it were so strong that they even drowned all reason.
Countless screams gathered together, overwhelming the sky, and there was no other sound in the world.
However, the two of them still managed to keep the mourning platform clear and arrived at the old site of the watchtower with great difficulty.
In an instant, Qi Xuansu once again experienced the trance-like feeling he had when he entered the mist. It seemed as if everything had gone far away, and some memories became blurred. According to Zhou Mengyao, the two of them experienced another time distortion.
With this time distortion, those pervasive sharp voices and the "sinister soldiers" chasing them finally retreated and disappeared.
The two of them looked up and saw that there was indeed no watchtower here, there was only a huge gap in the ground.
The Cangyun Castle in the underworld hangs high above the bottomless abyss, so below the gap is an invisible dark world, just like what Qi Xuansu saw before through the crenellations of the city wall.
However, there are still the remains of some buildings on the edge of the gap. It seems that this was not a gap originally, but there was some kind of building that was just destroyed.
This gave Qi Xuansu some new associations.
Why did those "yin soldiers" attack Cangyun Castle in the Underworld? Could it be because the "yin soldiers" wanted to destroy this building?
Zhou Mengyao carefully inspected the ruins of these buildings and discovered a very surprising fact.
These wrecks are upside down.
The part above ground is actually the foundation, and the part below ground is the main body of the building.
In other words
He said that there was indeed a building here originally, but this building was not built upwards normally, but was built upside down, which is completely opposite to the entire Cangyun Castle in the underworld.
This is also different from ordinary underground palaces or underground mausoleums. Although the underground palace is located underground, it is still built forward, but this building is built backwards, and even the mural patterns on the walls are upside down.
However, in a sense, the underworld and the yang world are upside down. According to the standard of the underworld, the sky is at the bottom and the earth is at the top. The Cangyun Castle in the underworld is the upside down one, while this destroyed building is the normal one.
- Based on the earth, facing the sky.
An upside-down building that is built downward but looks up to the sky.
Only in the underworld could such a wonder be built.
It's a pity that this building has been destroyed, and most of the building remains have fallen into the bottomless abyss below.
Zhou Mengyao frowned: "This Cangyun Castle is already in the underworld. The exit from Jiuyou should be under Cangyun Castle. Maybe the exit door is in this building."
Qi Xuansu stared at the ruins of the building on the edge of the gap and said: "The original building here was not a watchtower, but a giant reverse tower, just like the legendary Tower of Babel, extending from the ground to the sky, but it was just the upside-down sky of the underworld. Maybe.
This is the fundamental purpose of Li Yuanjing's thousands of years of planning for great things. Now the tower has broken and has fallen into the abyss."
Zhou Mengyao lost the kindness he was used to pretending on weekdays, and his face was cold and serious: "This building was destroyed by man, and we were a step too late."
With Zhou Mengyao's current ability, it is obviously impossible to repair such a giant tower. The two overthrew the Dudu's Mansion in the Yang world through the Taiping Religion, and the Dudu's Mansion and the giant tower in the underworld were destroyed as a result.
He gave up his hope of leaving this place.
Yesterday's cause, today's effect.
One drink and one peck, could it be destiny?
Is this the will of heaven and earth?
Zhou Mengyao even had the illusion that the false moon above his head was not only watching them, but also secretly laughing.
This gave her the urge to break the moon.
Just when Zhou Mengyao felt deeply angry.
Qi Xuansu said: "Maybe I can repair this giant tower, but you have to help me, bet all the power of both of us, and then look at luck."
Zhou Mengyao frowned, but still said: "It has reached this point, let's just treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor."
Qi Xuansu stopped talking, but opened his Xumiwu and took out the "Guizang Lamp" from it.
The time here is chaotic, Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao have already encountered two time distortions.
#Every time verification appears, please do not use incognito mode!
Therefore, the "Guizang Lamp", which is also related to time, may be able to exert a wonderful effect in this special space that far exceeds that of the human world - this has precedents to follow.
Zhou Mengyao recognized "Gui Zang Deng" at a glance. She was plotted by this person last time.
At the same time, Zhou Mengyao also felt that many clues in his mind were about to connect into a line: the time in the underworld will be distorted, the "Return to Hidden Lamp" is in the hands of Qi Xuansu, and Qi Xuansu and Qiniang have a relationship like old acquaintances
…
But at this moment, Qi Xuansu interrupted Zhou Mengyao's thoughts again: "Inject divine power."
Zhou Mengyao collected his thoughts and poured divine power into the "Guicang Lamp" as instructed.
Qi Xuansu also began to inject divine power, and the light of the "Guizang Lamp" gradually lit up.
Based on their current cultivation level, it is impossible to control the "Guizang Lamp" by force. They can only hope that the "Guizang Lamp" will appear. So as Qi Xuansu said, it depends on luck.
Obviously, the two of them had good luck this time, and the "Gui Zang Deng" man was very considerate.
Qi Xuansu raised the "Gui Zang Lamp" high, letting its light shine on the remains of the building, and said loudly: "Look back in time and restore it as before!"
In an instant, time stood still, and the underworld, which had no color at all, was completely transformed into black and white.
The next moment, everything within the gap began to flow backwards, as if the earth's energy was flowing backwards.
Various building debris that had fallen into the bottomless abyss flew up from the abyss again, and were constantly spliced back into their original appearance.
Floor tiles are spliced together to form the floor, wall tiles are stacked to form walls, and tiles are spliced to form eaves. There are even rusty copper bells that fly out from the abyss, lose their patina at a speed visible to the naked eye, become brand new, and hang on the eaves again.
on the corner.
The various talismans, mantras, and totems on the walls also reappeared, bringing together the leaders of Taoism, Buddhism, and ancient witchcraft, showing the great significance of this giant tower.
In the blink of an eye, the base and first floor of this upside-down tower have been traced back.
Immediately afterwards, another broken tower body flew up from the abyss and was rejoined with the base, making the upside-down tower higher and higher, with the tower's tip extending downward into the unknown depths of darkness.
A tower hanging upside down to reach the sky.
There are a full thirty-three levels, corresponding to the thirty-three days of Taoism.
The "Guicang Lamp" in Qi Xuansu's hand gradually dimmed, and Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao were also beaten back to their original form because they had gambled all their divine power.
In other words, even if they wanted to return to the underworld through the Governor's Mansion and Cangyun Castle, they would not be able to do so.
Now there is only one way to go to the dark, go down to the top of the tower, and leave this place from under the Nine Netherworld.
