Chapter 687: The Ghost Moon Clan (Part I)

Chapter 687: The Ghost Moon Clan (I)

On the desolate Gobi, there is an ancient city called Jingzhuo.

No one knows who built this ancient city, and no outsider can leave it alive.

Like a mystery, it has always been feared by all the ethnic groups in the Western Regions.

Legend has it that there is a clan in the city, named Ghost Moon, who has the ability to summon ghosts.

A wise man once commented on the exquisite ancient city.

It is located in the main transportation route, but it is inhabited, but anyone who can capture the city can command the Western Regions.

......

Gongsun Qi and Zhang Qiling went all the way up, and every layer never stopped.

However, Gongsun Cheng had a preliminary understanding of the nine-story building.

The walls of each floor are opened with shooting windows and perforations, which has a very mixed sense of Eastern and Western cultures.

In addition to the design of external archery, there are also brackets for strengthening shock resistance, dry sand for fire extinguishing, and a pool and food storage area for long-term use.

It's a fortress!

Gongsun Qi made a true evaluation of it at the first time.

The nine-storey fortress is used to defend against whom?

The height of the castle allows you to see the enemy in advance, and the higher it is, the sooner it is found, the earlier you can prepare.

At the same time, the height of the castle is also very advantageous for defense.

It is only said that the arrow that is shot down, such a high drop, can give the arrow a great blessing, and also save the physical strength of the archer.

Moreover, there are things that make Gongsun Qi even more amazing on each floor.

Catapult trap!

The trap is mounted on the outer wall, and the stone projectiles are delivered from the inside.

The stone projectiles were transported through a hollow floor in the middle of each layer and were brought up by means of a lever mechanism.

If you look down from the hollow in the middle, you can go straight to the lobby on the first floor.

However, Gongsun Qi observed and observed, but he had been paying attention to Zhang Qiling's movements.

Finally, when you reach the ninth floor.

"Whew, I'm so tired, I didn't expect this nine-story tower to be so high!"

Zhang Qiling said as he took out the kettle as if he wanted to drink water.

Gongsun glanced at it, didn't care, and began to look around.

The ninth floor is different from the first eight floors, it is very obvious, this is a religious altar, twelve three-meter-tall statues of demon gods stand against the wall.

Gongsun Qi, who has always had a strange feeling about the Demon God Statue, looked at the God Statue very carefully.

Differing from the shape of the hall, it appears to be twelve anthropomorphic figures.

Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Lion......

This is the zodiac?!

Gongsun Qi, who is good at Xuanwu Chicha, is no stranger to these twelve constellations.

Xuanwu Red Wheel is the sword technique of the essence of the sun, and there are no people who know all about the sun.

The so-called zodiac signs refer to the constellations that appear every 30 degrees in the sun's ecliptic.

The names of the zodiac signs are borrowed from the names of nearby constellations, just like the twelve earthly branches in the Taoist Ganzhi calendar, borrowing the images of the twelve animals, which are different from the actual constellations.

Since the demon god of the zodiac appears here, what about the sun?

Gongsun raised his head.

At the top, there is a huge mural.

The mural seems to tell a story.

In the middle of the mural is a crystal-like lotus flower, and a beam of light runs through the nine-story tower, shining on the lotus.

The lotus flower shines brightly!

Surrounded by lotus flowers, there are hundreds of demon god figures, each bathed in light.

The picture extends, and the nine-story tower appears in the picture, and countless enemies are advancing towards the tower.

There were so many enemies that they almost overwhelmed the tower.

In the next scene, the demon god bathed in light rushed out of the tower and began to fight.

Fearless with knives and guns, even if they are scattered, they can reunite.

Countless enemies were killed, and corpses were piled up in the Gobi.

Looking at the mural, Gongsun Qi frowned, his eyes were on the lotus flower that emitted brilliance, he felt very familiar, as if he had seen it there?

As soon as his eyes opened, Gongsun suddenly remembered that he had seen it there.

At the entrance of the main hall on the first floor, isn't it the lotus flower?

Take another look at the beams of light that run through the nine-story tower......

Suddenly!

Gongsun Qi immediately turned his gaze to Zhang Qiling.

See you soon!

What is Zhang Qiling pouring on the stone statue of Aries with a kettle?

Although I don't know what Zhang Qiling is doing, but in Gongsun Qi's opinion, it is all abnormal behavior, and he shot out in an instant and slapped it with one palm.

With a twist, Zhang Qiling hid behind the stone statue of Aries and said loudly:

"What do you mean, sir?"

The palm wind slapped on the stone statue, making a loud noise, but the stone statue did not move at all.

Pulling out the knife, Gongsun Qi said in a deep voice: "What a treacherous thing, I deliberately said to go below, in fact, your ultimate goal is to come to the top of this ninth layer." ”

"Hehe, hey, it's been recognized" Zhang Qiling's laughter came from behind the stone statue, and there was no trace of humility, and then he became arrogant:

"The surname Gongsun, you have strong martial arts, so you really think you can kill me?!"

The scorching qi gathered on the blade, and Gongsun Qi said in a deep voice:

"You think you're hiding behind ......"

Before the words fell, Gongsun Qi's eyes were round, as if he had seen a ghost!

"Click~~~"

An eerie sound sounded over the Aries golem, and the stone skin began to crack.

The stone statue actually moved!!

............

"Didn't you go all the way with that guy with the surname Zhang?"

Hearing the old woman's question, Zhang Liao was obviously stunned, and Guo Huai next to him hurriedly said:

"Zhang's surname?"

The old woman nodded, with a look of resentment on her face, and said in a deep voice:

"That traitor!!"

"Traitor?" Guo Huai had some doubts and asked, "Is he from the Ghost Moon Clan?"

Taking a deep breath, the old woman tore the robe covering her body, revealing the figure of a curvy young woman the next moment.

Blonde hair, green eyes, yellow skin.

There is no shortage of different-haired women in the Western Regions, but blonde hair and yellow skin mean that this woman is a mixed-race child.

"My name is Zhang Momo, the contemporary patriarch of the Ghost Moon Clan" The woman introduced herself first, followed by a sinking voice, and said hatefully:

"Zhang Qiling, is my half-brother, and also the patriarch of my Ghost Moon Clan's traitorous clan!!"

Surprised!

Zhang Liao and Guo Huai were a little confused.

Hearing this, Zhang Momo told me:

"My Ghost Moon clan has guarded the exquisite ancient city for generations, just waiting for the master to return to ......"

......

Although the ancestor of the Ghost Moon Clan is a member of the Great Moon Clan, he is the guardian of the ancient city for generations.

In the civil strife of the Great Moon Clan, the entire Ghost Moon Clan retreated to the Exquisite Ancient City.

As a guardian, it is impossible for the Ghost Moon Clan to give up the place of protection, the exquisite ancient city located in the Gobi, surrounded by desolation, the Ghost Moon Clan can be said to have endured all the hardships.

Even the minimum survival guarantee is problematic.

Later, the Ghost Moon Clan simply began to rob the various clans, and anyone who approached the Exquisite Ancient City would be attacked by the Ghost Moon Clan's puppets.

Coupled with the weirdness of the puppet, a terrifying legend was slowly formed.

As the patriarch, Zhang Qiling, in order to change the lives of the clansmen, wanted to attack the weak tribes, rob the land of abundant water and grass, and fundamentally change the lives of the clansmen.

However!

Ideas and reality are very skinny.

Once the Ghost Moon Clan attacks the outside world, the legend will be self-defeating, and it is very likely that it will be attacked by a joint attack from the Hundred Clans.

At that time, the Ghost Moon Clan not only couldn't hold the Exquisite Ancient City, but was also in danger of extinction.

For this reason, Zhang Qiling hit the idea to the biggest secret of the Exquisite Ancient City.

Hundreds of statues of demon gods.

But to activate the Demon God Statue, Zhang Qiling is missing the key thing.
