Chapter 64: The Inverted Tower

Chapter 64 The Upside-Down Tower As soon as the words fell, a pair of cold hands suddenly came out from the wall behind Qi Xuansu and tightly grasped Qi Xuansu's throat. Qi Xuansu immediately felt a long-lost suffocation, and his face turned red in white, and soon turned black in red.

Qi Xuansu subconsciously tried to pry open the hands that were strangling his throat, but caught nothing.

These "ghost soldiers" were between real and fake. They were real when they hit people, and fake when they were hit. They were very unreasonable.

At the critical moment, it was Zhou Mengyao who used his divine power in his hands and slapped the black shadow with a slap, which made the black shadow spin around and naturally loosened Qi Xuansu's neck.

"The ghost soldiers made a sharp beak cry, which instantly alarmed other "ghost soldiers". Countless black shadows screamed and rushed towards the two of them.

Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao felt their scalps tingling. If they were trapped in the siege of these "ghost soldiers", they would probably be left here. "Charge! "

Zhou Mengyao took the cloak and threw it to Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu took the cloak and wrapped it around himself, leaving the ground with the help of the cloak.

The two flew over the heads of many "ghost soldiers".

The "ghost soldiers" stretched out their hands one after another, trying to catch the two.

It was visible to the naked eye that the "ghost soldiers" were getting longer and longer, just like the backs that were getting longer and longer as the sun set.

It was just that the two flew fast enough and managed to avoid being caught by the "ghost soldiers".

The governor's mansion was already within reach.

After crossing the high wall, they entered the governor's mansion.

Although there were no "ghost 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 official army.

It was obvious that there was no one here, but that everyone had changed under the influence of the yin energy.

Perhaps Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao were too late, and they had wasted too much time in the fog; When they arrived at Cangyun Castle in the underworld, everything here was already on the way to destruction.

The Governor's Mansion was in ruins, as if a fierce battle had taken place here. All they could see were broken walls and ruins, broken wood and rocks everywhere, and it had almost become a ruin.

Have they arrived in the future? Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao landed on a roof, where there happened to be a big hole. They jumped down and saw that it was also a fierce place. It seemed that someone had defended here before, not only sealing all the windows, but also blocking the door with bookcases and tables! So there was only one body here, and no monsters existed.

Qi Xuansu checked the body. Judging from the official uniform the body was wearing, this person should be the chief of the Governor's Mansion, and he was a senior official of Cangyun Castle, second only to Li Yuanjing.

There was also a suicide note in the sleeve of the body, which probably meant that the Yang world had not sent anyone over for a long time, the "ghost soldiers" were getting more and more crazy, and there was a rebellion in the city, and they were powerless to save the situation. This letter should be left for Li Yuanjing, which also confirms Qi Xuansu's judgment that they did travel through time.

So it is right, because the Yellow Coin Army of the Taiping Sect overthrew the rule of the Governor's Office in the world of the living, so the Governor's Office in the underworld lost its foundation, became a rootless duckweed, and eventually fell.

Zhou Mengyao sighed: "Now that things have come to this, let's go to the watchtower first. "

Qi Xuansu had no objection.

At this moment, countless shadows had already poured into the Governor's Mansion, and seemed to have clashed with those monsters. Through the closed doors and windows, one could vaguely see a large number of ghosts outside, distorted and terrifying.

The two of them no longer hesitated, jumped onto the roof again, and rushed 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 the gothic, and the various negative emotions contained in them were so strong that they even drowned all reason.

Countless screams gathered together, covering the sky and the earth, and there was no other sound in the world. However, the two of them still managed to keep their minds clear and arrived at the old site of the watchtower with great difficulty.

In an instant, Qi Xuansu once again experienced the dazed feeling when he entered the fog before, as if everything was far away, and some memories became blurred. According to Zhou Mengyao, the two experienced another time distortion.

As time was distorted, those pervasive sharp sounds, and the "shadows" chasing them The "soldiers" finally retreated and disappeared.

The two looked up and saw that there was indeed no watchtower here, only a huge gap on the ground.

The Cangyun Castle in the underworld hangs high above the bottomless abyss, so below the gap is a dark world with no bottom, just like what Qi Xuansu saw through the battlements of the city wall before, but there are still some remains of buildings on the edge of the gap, as if this was not originally a gap, but a certain building, but it was destroyed.

This gave Qi Xuansu some new associations.

Why did those "ghost soldiers" attack the Cangyun Castle in the underworld? Could it be because the "ghost soldiers" wanted to destroy this building? Zhou Mengyao carefully examined the remains of these buildings and discovered a very surprising fact.

These remains are upside down, the part located on the ground is actually the foundation, and the part located underground is the main body of the building.

In other words, there was indeed a building here, but this building was not built upwards as usual, but built upside down, which is completely opposite to the entire underworld cloud castle.

This is also different from ordinary underground camps or underground mausoleums. Although the underground camps are located underground, they are still built in the opposite direction, but this building is built in reverse, and even the mural patterns on the walls are reversed.

However, in a sense, the underworld and the Yang world are upside down. According to the standard of the underworld being closed at the bottom and the earth at the top, Cangyun Castle in the underworld is the upside down one. On the contrary, this destroyed building is the normal one. One by one, they stood on the earth and headed towards Guan Kong.

An upside-down building that is built downwards but looks upwards at Guan Kong.

Only in the underworld can such a spectacle be built. Unfortunately, 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 an inverted giant tower, just like the legendary Tower of Babel, extending from the ground to the sky, but it was just the inverted sky of the underworld.

Perhaps this is the fundamental purpose of Li Yuanjing spending thousands of years planning major events.

Now the tower is broken and has fallen into the abyss. "

Zhou Mengyao lost the kindness he was used to pretending to do 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 huge tower.

The two overthrew the Governor's Mansion in the Yang world through the Taiping Religion, and the Governor's Mansion and the giant tower in the underworld were destroyed as a result. As a result, Qi and Tuesday people personally ruined their hope of leaving this place. The cause of yesterday is the result of today.

One drink and one beak, could it be destiny? Is this the general idea of ​​this world? 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 was deeply angry, Qi Xuansu said: "Maybe I can repair this giant tower, but you have to help me and risk all the divine power of both of us. Then it depends on luck.”

Zhou Mengyao frowned, but still said: "It has reached this point, let's treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor."

Qi Xuansu stopped talking, but opened his Sumeru object and took out the Guizang lamp."

The time here is chaotic, Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao have already encountered two time distortions.

Therefore, the "Gui Zang 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 - there is precedent for this.

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: the time in the underworld will be distorted, the "Gui Zang 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 he was told.

Qi Xuansu also began to inject divine power, and saw the light of the "Gui Zang Lantern" gradually brightening. With their current cultivation level, it was impossible for them to control the "Gui Zang Lantern" by force. They could only hope that the "Gui Zang Lantern" "Hidden Lantern" appears, so as Qi Xuansu said, it depends on luck.

Obviously, the two of them had good luck this time, and the "Gui Zang Deng" uncle was very considerate.

Qi Xuansu raised the "Guizang Lamp" high, letting its light shine on the remains of the building, and said loudly: "Look back in time and restore it as before!"

For an instant, time stood still, and the underworld, which had no color to speak of, was completely frozen in black and white. The next moment, everything within the gap began to flow backwards, as if the earth's energy was flowing backwards.

The various building fragments 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 ground, wall tiles are piled up to form walls, tiles are spliced ​​into eaves, and even rusty copper bells fly out of the abyss, and then lose their patina at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming brand new and hanging again on the On the eaves corner.

The various talismans, mantras, and totems on the walls also reappeared, bringing together the strengths of Taoism, Buddhism, and ancient shamanism, showing the great significance of this giant tower.

In the blink of an eye, the base and first floor of the upside-down tower had been traced back. Then another broken tower body flew up from the abyss and was rejoined with the base, making the upside-down tower taller and taller. , the spire extends all the way down to 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 faded away, and Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao were also beaten back to their original shape because they had gambled all their divine power.

In other words, even if he tried to return to the underworld through the Governor's Mansion and Cangyun Castle, he would not be able to do so.

Now we can only walk all the way to the dark, go down to the top of the tower, and leave this place from under the Nine Netherworld.
