MTL - After the Fairy Disappeared-Chapter 450 Secrets in the Walls

  Chapter 450 The Secret Inside the City Wall

  Which one of the people he knows will be in Lingxu City? Hong Chenglue?

  Li Qingge stopped talking, and blinked at him: "Good night."

  ￥￥￥￥￥￥

  He Lingchuan opened his eyes, seeing that the sun had already passed the middle of the sky, and would sink into the horizon in two hours, so he couldn't help being slightly startled.

  I returned to the hometown of souls, riding on horseback, with a magnificent city wall in front of the left, but this is not Panlong City.

  He looked around, all the members of the Broken Knife Squad were there, and there were more than 30 Gale Army soldiers accompanying them.

   Straight ahead is a fiery red cloak.

  Red General?

   They are following the Red General?

  He Lingchuan came back to his senses, and found that the city wall that his group was passing was really familiar:

   This is Nishina Miyagi!

It only took half a day for the Panlong Army to enter the Xiyu Kingdom before, but it took more than ten days to take the Miyagi, until the king, officers and soldiers in the Miyagi were trapped until they ran out of ammunition and food, and finally surrendered without a fight. .

  Yi He Lingchuan was impressed by the appearance of this Miyagi, but it was only the appearance.

  Is it inside? This is the first time he came in.

  During the siege, more than 10,000 soldiers were squeezed into Miyagi, and the stench was everywhere. Fortunately, the pickled things have been cleaned up long ago. As far as He Lingchuan can see, the palaces are connected end to end, with complete planning and exquisite appearance.

  The door panel behind him is also looking at it while walking: "It seems that during our siege, the more than 10,000 officers and soldiers and Hu Yanzhao were all crowded here. It is not crowded at all, and everyone can have a place to live."

  Wicker made a fuss: "The people's livelihood is withered outside, but the inside is carved with beams and painted buildings. They deserve to die!"

  He Lingchuan whispered: "Should we go back east?"

  Wicker shrugged. A Luo looked left and right: "The news from Panlong City hasn't been handed over yet, the Red General brought us here to do business first."

  The crowd followed the Red General to the west side of Miyagi.

  The further you go west, the fewer buildings there are, but more people.

  These are civilian craftsmen who set up scaffolding inside the palace city, and more than 200 people took tools to chisel the walls.

  A large piece of the wall has been chiseled out, and it looks like a big gap from the outside.

  Everyone was at a loss when they came here.

  During the siege, Xixiang Miyagi was in good condition and was hardly attacked. Why should it be destroyed now?

General Nan Ke seemed to be acting as a supervisor, and when he saw the Red General, he came up to meet him: "The craftsmen complained that the wall was surprisingly hard, and it took a long time to make such a hole, and I don't know how many drills and stone hammers were broken. "

  He Lingchuan and the others looked at each other.

  The city wall of Xixiang looks tall and thick, but how could it be so hard?

   It took the craftsmen a long time to dig out the wall with all their heart. If during the war, how could there be such a good environment for the soldiers to slowly dig out the wall? If you want to break through this wall, you may have to pile up a lot of lives.

  The Red General was also looking at the wall: "Are you sure it was excavated from here?"

"It is said in the classics that Beicheng was captured in the past, and this is the only gap that was opened." General Nan Ke waved his hand to invite an elderly palace man, "This guy also participated in the construction of the Xijing Palace back then, it is a living map .”

  The palace man bowed to the red general and saluted: "Our... villain's surname is Chang, and he has stayed in the palace for more than ten years. The general just takes orders!"

The red general pointed, and the servant Chang nodded again and again: "It's here, it's here! The palace city of Xixiang was built on the basis of the old site of Beicheng. Gao, it has become what it is today."

  Bay City? He Lingchuan had never heard of it, but A Luo whispered: "So this is Beicheng?"

  He Lingchuan turned his head to look, and the door panel and wicker were also a little dazed.

   It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m not the only poor student.

A Luo knew that it was time for class by looking at their expressions, and whispered science: "More than a thousand years ago, a city was built here, called Beicheng. Later, it was invaded by foreigners and died. I heard the legend of it, but I didn't expect it The Xijin Palace was built on the ruins of Beicheng."

  The door panel let out a hey: "It seems that the Feng Shui here is not very good."

   Beicheng was invaded by foreigners and died.

  Xiyu built a palace on this basis, was invaded by Panlong City, and died.

  Thousands of years apart, history has reincarnation.

  The regular attendant in that chamber continued: "This is still chiseled inside. The outside of the palace city is not afraid of artillery, magical bombardment, siege guns and ground sinking vehicles at all."

  The door panel sounded loud: "It seems that the defensive formation is very good."

   Chang's servant just went on: "The most powerful thing is that the city wall can achieve this effect without deploying defensive formations at all."

   Gale soldiers were a little surprised.

   Not opening the array means saving energy. Fighting is all about consumption. The city wall itself is so hard that it is very difficult for the opponent to deal with.

"I heard that the foreign enemy attacked for more than four months and took 20,000 to 30,000 lives to open that hole in the city wall." Chang Nei said, "The monarch, uh, the Huyan family took advantage of it, so they took it. The Miyagi was built as a foundation. Although the gap is blocked in the back, it is not as hard as other sections of the old wall.”

  Is this still the hardest section? He Lingchuan took a deep breath.

   No wonder the Red General let the Panlong army besiege and not attack, preferring to spend precious time fighting a war of attrition. She should have known this history in advance.

   Otherwise, the Gale Army will have to use their lives to test the hardness of the former site of Beicheng.

  General Hong disdain: "So what if the city wall is strong? Didn't I take down the Xijing Palace without a single soldier?"

  The city was strong and the guns were strong, but the owner of the palace was a coward, and finally surrendered himself.

   It has never been as simple as external conditions that determine whether a war is won or lost.

  The servant often laughed: "Yes, yes, the Red General is wise and mighty!"

   While talking, several craftsmen on the scaffold shouted: "There is something, there is something in the wall!"

  Everyone's eyes blurred, and the Red General had already stood on the scaffold two feet above the ground, beside the craftsman.

  The craftsman was startled and leaned back.

   General Hong grabbed his shoulder with one hand, and plunged his other hand into the wall, digging.

  Ash and powder mud clumps rustled down.

  Her hands seemed to work better than a chisel.

  General Nan Ke and others also gathered around to watch, and saw something seemed to be protruding from the wall, which was thick and hard, but not like a stone.

   At least not in shape.

  General Hong stopped his hands, and blew a sigh of relief.

  A gust of evil wind blows, the floating ash on the wall is blown away, and the things underneath reveal their true appearance.

  General Nan Ke lost his voice: "This, this...are these bones?"

  Things in the wall are only half exposed, and the color is like jade, but it still has a metallic luster in the sun. The iron implements clang and clang when they are knocked up, like knocking on a chime of a bell, and there is a lingering sound.

   But no one can mistake the shape.

   It was a bone, at least three feet outside, and I don't know how long it was inside the wall.

  The door panel murmured: "This is not a human bone."

  There is no bone in the human body that is so long.

   Another craftsman pointed to the high palace wall and said, "There are also there."

   Everyone raised their heads, and sure enough, they found another bone glowing with jade white luster four feet above.

  The exterior wall built by Xixiang has been opened long ago, and what the craftsmen are digging now is the old wall of Beicheng.

   That is to say, there are many bones built in the ancient city walls of Beicheng?

  Wicke shuddered, and He Lingchuan remembered a legend from his hometown.

  General Hong wears a mask, so others can't see her expression, but her voice is calm: "This is the secret of the hardness of Beicheng's ancient walls."

   That is to say, the hardness of the wall depends on these bones?

  She took out the dagger casually and chiseled the bone twice.

   Sure enough, the chisel did not move.

  The Red General took out another small bottle and poured the liquid inside on the bone stick.

  Only heard a few chichi sounds, white smoke came out from the bones, the sense of smell was as keen as wicker and He Lingchuan, and there was also a strange sour smell.

  The Red General continued to pour the acid, and soon there was foam flowing from the bones, and nothing happened when it fell on the mud wall.

   Soon, a small hole was etched on the bone rod.

  General Red took a pickaxe and reached into the small hole to dig out.

   There seems to be some black substance on the beak of the pickaxe.

  General Hong observed carefully, and He Lingchuan suspected that she had even smelled it.

   Then, she jumped off the scaffolding, regretting: "The activity has been lost, and it can't be used anymore. There is no need to dig this wall."

  General Nan Ke is still looking at the bones in the wall: "What the **** is this?"

   "God's remains." The Red General clapped his hands, "In ancient times, many gods fell to the world. These are their remains."

   Those who heard it were shocked.

  Gubei City actually used the bones of gods to build walls?

  Yes, if there is war, there will be corpses. It was no surprise that the remains of the gods fell into the world when the battle of annihilation was so fierce.

  Most of the craftsmen here are natives of Xixiang. After hearing her words, they retreated immediately, and they dared not chisel the walls.

  Some even prostrated themselves on the ground, praying softly, begging the gods to forgive their disrespect.

   "Their burials are probably nearby, and the people of Bei City just use local materials." Who doesn't want a strong city wall? "People in Beicheng can easily obtain their remains. Either they died suddenly here and were not buried, or the seal of the cemetery has been broken or invalidated."

   General Hong turned to Chang's servant: "Do you know where the tomb of God is?"

   Chang's servant was also dumbfounded when he saw it, and then he quickly shook his head: "No, there is no mention of the cemetery of the gods in the ancient books, General."

"It's a pity that the bones built in the walls have lost their vitality, and they are no different from rocks except that they are harder." The Red General asked him, "If you think about it carefully, is there any place in the palace city where flowers and plants are always green all year round? Afraid of the severe cold and heat?"

"Flowers and plants evergreen?" Chang's servant said without thinking, "Ah, there is such a place, when the entire capital is covered with snow, it is still red and green! The orchid that was the queen's favorite in the past can bloom all year round when planted there. Invincible, it doesn’t even need to be carefully maintained. Oh, it’s in the West Garden of the Palace, only four hundred steps away from here.”

   "Lead the way."

   Chang's servant's measurement is very accurate, saying that 400 steps is 400 steps, there is almost no deviation.

  Everyone has already walked into an imperial garden. There are exotic flowers and plants everywhere, and the layout is patchwork. There are almost no dead grass and yellow leaves.
