Chapter 418: Hanging the World Upside Down
Countless ethereal spirits were still frantically rushing against the inner barrier, and the color that had become cloudy from anger changed rapidly, reflecting the light of the entire Hangu Pagoda in a strange light.
Ling sorted out his clothes, took one last look at the crazy ethereal spirit behind him, and said briskly, "It seems to be much warmer here. β
"Yes, it's a lot easier. Tian Xian touched the wall of the Han Ancient Tower, "This is much warmer than the air outside." β
Looking up at the upside-down giant tower, Ling frowned slightly, "I didn't expect it to be so huge, and it was hanging upside down, I'm afraid it's something famous, do we have to go to the bottom of the tower above to find the entrance?" These windows seem to have strong forbidden protection, and they can't be opened at all!"
Tian Xian touched his chin and smiled, "I don't think necessary, let's find another place first." β
Ling looked at the giant tower that couldn't be seen overhead, and he didn't know how long it would take to reach the bottom of the tower......
"Okay, let's look around now. Ling silently recited a few words, jumped out, and then ......
Screaming and falling straight down.
A hand grabbed Ling's arm, and Tian Xian looked at Ling strangely from the terrace, "What are you doing? Didn't I apologize just now, don't you look for death and life." β
Ling looked at Tianxian blankly, but he didn't get angry, and blinked a few times before coming back to his senses, "I...... My ethereal spirit. β
Tian Xian smiled as expected, and pulled Ling up, "Those void spirits are all locked outside, this kind of area that is obviously cut off from the void spirits, how can there be void spirits for you to drive, don't think about such a thing for the time being." β
Ling couldn't help but look at the black giant tower that was almost straight to the sky, "Without the Void Spirit, how can we move?"
Tian Xian grinned, "Well, it's easy, but I'm sorry first." β
Ling was stunned. The body was crooked and was picked up by Tian Xian's waist, and before he could scream, Tian Xian jumped and jumped towards another terrace that was five meters away.
Ling couldn't believe that someone was jumping around in the air unsuspectingly, and ...... And it didn't activate the stigmata!
Ling's eyes widened. Tian Xian, who had already tiptoed a little to the edge of the terrace, jumped high again, stepping on a protruding stone block and jumping above the decorative statue.
Tian Xian hugged Ling, only with his feet on the eaves outside the huge Guhan Tower, Tian Xian, who has been accustomed to climbing mountains and trees since he was a child, has no regard for this kind of tower with various borrowed objects on the outside, not to mention that the current reverse heart trick can provide incomparably powerful help.
Ling Ye is only here, in the depths of the Far North, where the power of herself and the Void Spirit is extremely strong, she can control the flight of the Void Spirit with a half-body, and Tian Xian took her to flash quickly outside the tower. Thousands of feet in the sky, it's an experience that makes the soul want to scream.
With every jump, the curved tower in the field of vision will reveal a new face, strange stones, terraces, flagpoles, ancient statues......
In the vast sky, it seemed that it was not the sky that was moving, but the Hangu Pagoda was rotating, and the entire earth was rotating with the Hangu Tower, and Ling felt as if he was spinning the whole world! But the inexplicable excitement of fear in my heart is also spreading......
Sneak down at the swirling black spires and endless ice fields. Ling suddenly felt that he would never forget this scene for the rest of his life......
This boy is really weird.
Ling couldn't help but quietly look at Tianxian, but before she could see clearly, her body suddenly shook and was grabbed by Tianxian.
The day stopped.
And then Ling, who saw it clearly, couldn't help but scream, and grabbed Tianxian's shoulder.
Thousands of feet in the sky. Tianxian's feet were like magnets absorbing the tower body, and his body stood almost horizontally on the Hangu Tower, showing doubts.
Ling looked at Tianxian's feet nervously, "You...... Why did you stop?"
Tian Xian looked at the nervous Ling and frowned slightly. "We don't seem to have to look anymore, it's already ten floors, and I find that the structure is similar, so ......"
"So what?"
"We're closer to the window. β
Ling glared angrily, "Those windows can't be opened at all!"
"So stop here!" Tian Xian smiled at Ling Hehe, "Wait for me up there." β
"Above...... Waiting for you?" Ling Zheng was surprised, a flower in front of him had been thrown high by Tianxian, "You...... Bastard!! you ......&*(............"
Tian Xian didn't pay attention to what Ling was scolding, and all his mind was on the wall of the Hangu Pagoda at his feet.
Walking against the heart trick, Tian Xian took a heavy step, the horizontal body did not affect the strength, this foot stepped on a loud "boom" sound, and the outer wall of the Hangu Pagoda was stepped on by Tian Xian out of a deep footprint.
"Boom!" stepped again, heavier than the previous step, and the footprints were deeper, and the golden rays of Tianxian's whole body flashed slightly, and one by one the footprints walked on the outer wall of the Hangu Pagoda according to some strange trajectory, and the roar was endless.
Ling, who was thrown high into the air by Tianxian, clearly heard the loud noise coming from below, and could even feel the Hangu Tower vibrating beside him, "You idiot! Stupid! Do you want to punch through the wall?"
Ling shouted, but she quickly shut up, because the upward force disappeared, and in the blink of an eye she had fallen rapidly, and Tian Xian was still seriously moving forward step by step.
Ling, who was blown by the naturally falling wind, couldn't open her eyes, let alone speak, she could only vaguely see Tianxian walking step by step, without looking at herself......
Falling from Tianxian's side quickly, Ling's mind was almost blank, this bastard boy!
Suddenly, Ling felt that something was suddenly pulled in many parts of his body, and several soft forces grabbed his body, and quickly strengthened, and began to pull himself back into the air.
Turning back in surprise, several shiny silk threads in mid-air were rapidly retracting, and Ling couldn't help but suddenly: "This is the silver crystal silk ......"
Ling Fei quickly crossed the top of Tian Xian's head, Tian Xian jumped up to catch her, borrowed strength from the tower, and landed on the nearest terrace, looking at Ling's suspicious face and couldn't help but smile, "You fall down like that, even if I catch you, you will be broken by the bones, you can only use cotton force, did you just think I was going to fall you to death?"
Being said by Tian Xian, Ling broke away from Tian Xian's arm in annoyance, and said with a snort: "Even if you don't save me, I naturally have a way to save myself, you are less proud here!"
"Yes, I believe. It's just that I threw you up, and I should catch you. β
Mr. Ling felt that Tianxian's tone was a little ridiculous, and he snorted and asked, "Then what were you doing just now? Do you want to break through the wall? This tower must have a strong prohibition protection, you are simply wishful thinking." β
"I didn't want to punch through the walls. Tianxian shook his head innocently.
"Then what is this?" Ling pointed to the dozen deep footprints on the tower next to him in annoyance, and the ravages of the sky were idle, which had already caused cracks on the outer wall of the tower.
Tian Xian blinked his eyes. "Follow me and I'll give you an answer right away. β
The wind was like that, and Tian Xian swept Ling away again.
This time, Tian Xian did not continue to jump outside the tower, but came to the bottom of the terrace just now, gasped on the terrace with his feet, and Tian Xian stood in front of the window of the terrace with Ling in his arms. If you ignore the earth overhead, then it seems that Tian Xian is really standing on this upside-down terrace now.
Tian Xian may not feel anything, but Ling has not had much of this upside-down experience since he was a child, although he was hugged by Tian Xian. But my brain is still extremely uncomfortable, "I clearly tell you, it won't work if you want to go through the window......!
"Squeak~~~" Tianxian pushed open the small window.
Ling's mouth opened in an instant, and the whole person was petrified.
A look of 'sure enough' flashed on Tianxian's face, and he jumped in from the window.
The moment Tian Xian jumped into the window, he had already swept all the positions in the room, and he was ready to deal with an accident, and even the silver crystal silk was already hanging in the window. Always ready to step back.
However, nothing happened. It landed on the ground steadilyβon the ceiling of the room, to be exact.
It was a large old circular room, with old cabinets and worn-out books piled up in the corners of the room, yellowed pages scattered on the floor, and dust everywhere.
But regardless of the tables and chairs, even the light paper hung upside down one by one, and none of them fell because the tower was hanging upside down in the air.
Ling stared at the huge room with wide eyes. Now I still can't believe that I broke through the Hangu Pagoda so lightly and broke in.
Tian Xian didn't move, and he looked at the surrounding situation again and again, making sure that there was no danger for the time being, and was about to speak, when suddenly it seemed that something was wrong.
Ling's body suddenly became lighter......
Tian Xian suddenly found that Ling seemed to ...... Floated up!And the next moment Tianxian realized. It's not that Ling floated up, but that he and Ling both floated......
There was a suction force from his head, grabbing Tianxian and Ling upward.
Tian Xian stomped his foot violently, and the adsorption force under his feet was activated again, firmly sucking himself in, and at the same time grabbing Ling back.
The two waited in disbelief for a while, but there was nothing strange about it other than this strange suction, but Ling looked a little pained, and his face was completely red.
Tian Xian looked around carefully, and then looked at Ling's state, and suddenly understood something, the reverse heart trick was slightly sluggish, and the whole person and Ling were suddenly pulled upward.
When his head was about to hit the ground above, Tian Xian turned over lightly and landed firmly on the ground.
In an instant, the world turned upside down.
Ling Dun felt that the feeling of dizziness and swelling disappeared cleanly, and he couldn't help but be even more shocked when he looked at the scene in front of him, "We...... Upside down?"
"No, we seem to be the other way around. Carefully put down Ling, Tian Xian kicked the piece of paper on the ground, the piece of paper moved, the dust flew, and there was no difference between Qi Qi and the ground.
"The gravity in this tower seems to be reversed, no wonder it hangs upside down in mid-air. "It's a sudden.
"Gravity?"
"Well, it's nothing, just come here and see. Tian Xian came to the side of the bed and looked out a few times.
Ling also leaned over, looked out, and couldn't help but take a cool breath.
Overhead, boundless ice fields hung there, and beneath our feet was an empty sky......
"This ......"
Tian Xian looked around again and guessed: "The world in this tower seems to be the opposite of the ground, it would be good to understand it this way, it seems that we will return to the original situation when we leave this tower, this place is really interesting." β
Ling stepped on the ground, carefully trying to move his feet, and sure enough, it felt no different from stepping on the ground, and just outside the window, the ice field that was the earth was obviously hanging overhead.
"Hanguta used to be such a place. After Ling took a few steps, he quickly adapted to the situation, but immediately became puzzled again, "But how did you notice it?"
"Guess. Just tried it and it turned out to be right. Tian Xian smiled casually.
"Then do you know that this window can be opened by guessing?" Ling looked at the opened window suspiciously, and looked at Tian Xian with a slightly sharp gaze.
"No, that window wouldn't have been opened, but I used a little trick. Tian Xian came to the wall next to the window, "Look. That's what I did. β
Ling immediately leaned forward and looked at the wall curiously, and found that the rest of the wall was covered with dust, only the part near the ground here had very little dust, and it seemed to have fallen off a lot, and ...... There seemed to be a faint crack in the wall.
Remembering that Tian Xian had stepped on many footprints outside, these cracks should be the result of the impact on the wall, but Ling was still very puzzled, "It doesn't seem to be a big deal." The walls are only slightly damaged, what does it have to do with the windows?"
"The reason is not on the wall, but on the ground. Tian Xian brushed the paper and dust scattered on the ground with his foot, "Look, this is my goal." β
Ling glanced at the ground and immediately frowned, only to see that under the thick dust, a pitch-black corner of the formation was revealed. "What is this?"
"This is the tower's guardian formation! this is one of them, combined with the other formations in the tower to form the entire guardian prohibition. At the same time, it is also the strongest defense force in this room, so I broke a corner of this thing, right in the window. With his foot brushing away the paper dust near the wall, Tian Xian pointed to the ground, "There it is." β
Ling couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise. In the corner of the wall, the cracks in the wall extended down and invaded the corner of this formation, causing the originally complete formation to appear slightly broken and damaged.
Tian Xian smiled proudly, "It's amazing, isn't it?"
"How do you know there will be a guardian array on the ground. And it happens to destroy this corner?" Ling felt that this was simply a fantasy.
"At the beginning, I climbed the ten-story tower outside, but it was not for nothing, the size of the tower, the structure, the layout of the rooms, and the strength of the guards, I have carefully observed, huh...... So I think it's most likely this kind of formation, as for just destroying this corner, as long as you carefully control the angle of power. β
These words sound more like a fantasy, "Do you ...... Understand this defensive formation?"
Tian Xian looked at Ling in a slight daze, as if he remembered something, "Yes, but don't be surprised, I have seen something similar in an ancient book that I occasionally got before, this time...... Just tried it and guessed it. β
"It's a guess again......" Ling forced his gaze to look at Tian Xian, "Are you an ancient book dedicated to recording these defensive formations that no one knows?"
Tian Xian was already smiling and walked towards the door, "Now is not the time to worry about this, let's hurry up and find someone, right? I can feel that Eve is in this tower." β
"You guy...... Sure enough, there are quirks from beginning to end!"
Tianxian held the doorknob and paid careful attention to the movement outside, and then gently pushed the door open, "Okay, let's go, maybe we can find Eve to order something to eat." β
......
The hallway was empty...... The footsteps of Tian Xian and Ling echoed clearly, and it seemed that the entire Hangu Tower was completely empty except for Tian Xian and Ling.
Tian Xian and Ling have carefully climbed I don't know how many floors, the area of this tower is huge, and the stairs are strangely not in the same place, each floor has to look for stairs everywhere, and it takes a lot of time to climb.
However, because of careful searching, Tian Xian and Ling found traces of many people's lives in this tower.
The tower has two fixed ring-shaped rooms on the inside and outside, and it seems to be a dedicated living area, with various living facilities in the center, except for an empty fenced garden, a concert hall where you can see tattered musical instruments, and a prayer room carved with statues of countless strange gods......
All of them are covered in thick dust, and time has completely destroyed them......
In the center of each floor is a circular hall with intricate drawings and texts carved into the walls and floors that seem to describe a scene but cannot be deciphered.
In the center of the hall is a huge stone pillar connecting the ground and the ceiling, carved with ancient symbols of unknown meaning and equally undecipherable, and this is the only place in the entire tower that shows that the tower is still not abandoned.
Those ancient symbols shimmer at an extremely slow rate...... The entire rotunda was filled with an inexplicable heavy force.
Ling had been silent, frowning and observing YiqiΔ. Tian Xian led the way in front, carefully checking for possible dangers, and the two walked quietly like this, without speaking for a long time.
"You say...... Who used to live here?" Ling suddenly asked.
"Who have lived here? How do I know? β
"There are traces of our Tianyan clan, but it doesn't seem to be like it, and it seems that many people have lived here. There are at least hundreds of people on this level, and I don't know how high this tower is, so if you count it like this, ......"
Ling bit his fingers, "What's more, it is absolutely impossible for such a tower to be built by our ancestors, if it is those gods, then who will they let live in, and it seems that it will be a long-term residence, or even ...... Maybe even a completely isolated residence!"
"No trace of anything has been found yet. "It's also helpless. "It's been so long that the books have become completely brittle and I can't read them at all, but if I could, I might have seen some clues. β
Ling's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, "Why was this tower built in the first place, there are so many people living there, but why is it empty now." Are all those people dead? And ...... Why are our people being punished for coming here, and do we really have anything to do with this tower?"
This Hangu Tower is obviously not an ordinary structure. Moreover, there must have been some kind of special purpose at the beginning of the construction, which made Ling feel inexplicably uneasy, and this qiΔ seemed to be inextricably linked with the Tianyan Clan......
"I can't answer your question, but I can be sure that the people who live here are not dead, and all of them have moved away. β
"Moved away, why?" Ling was stunned.
"Because it's dilapidated. But there were no particularly messy traces, no signs of fighting or destruction, and most importantly, there were no bones here, apparently they left in an orderly manner, and this was not a place of death. It's just that it was abandoned in the first place. β
Ling's eyes flickered a few times, "That'...... Where did those people go, and where are they now?"
"Who knows?" Tian Xian looked back at Ling, whose eyes were full of anxiety and doubt, "Maybe Grandma Kong will know these things, but now it's not something we want to waste our spirits, we're here to save people, remember?"
Saying that, Tian Xian looked at the horn on Ling's forehead, "Your horn seems to be getting longer again, I don't know how long you can hold out, but you'd better stay awake and don't get excited, I don't want you to have to kill you according to your original wishes if anything happens......"
Ling couldn't help but touch the horns on his head, "Is it? It's getting longer again...... No wonder, I'm feeling a little depressed, okay, we're here to save people, I remember!"
"Very good!" Tian Xian nodded, "There may be all kinds of trouble next, concentrate, follow me, don't walk around!"
Ling laughed, "Okay, pathfinder, don't worry about moving forward, leave it to me behind your back." β
"That's right. Tian Xian smiled and was about to move forward, when suddenly a faint voice came into his ears.
Tianxian was slightly stunned, "Listen!"
"What?"
Tian Xian listened intently, "It seems...... It's singing!"
"Singing!?" Ling looked at Tian Xian in surprise, "What...... Will there be singing? Did you hear it right?"
"No, it can't be wrong!" Tianxian looked at the corridor next to him, "It's far away, it should be coming from the top of the tower, over there!
Tian Xian sped up, looking for the faint singing, and soon found the staircase leading to the upper floor, and the singing became clear.
"This song ......" Ling obviously heard the song as well, and became excited, "Yes...... It's her! It's her singing!!"
Tian Xian had already heard that this voice was Eve's, the kind of pleasant, as if with a sweet smile was very special.
"Let's go!" Tian Xian rushed up the stairs first.
The singing continued, and Tian Xian and Ling followed the singing quickly, quickly finding the staircase leading to the upper floor without a detour, and the speed of travel was several times faster.
Finally, when Tian Xian and Ling rushed into the central hall on a certain floor, they found a woman in a black robe in front of the huge stone pillar.
She was holding a thick book in her hand, and she was singing something softly in a language that no one could answer, and the song echoed ethereally throughout the Cold Ancient Tower...... (To be continued......)
