Chapter 118 Castle
The endless desert!
That's right, when Zhang Zichen opened his eyes, the originally lush forest disappeared, and was replaced by an endless desert.
The scorching sun in the sky was exposed to the ground, and Zhang Zichen's skin was about to be peeled off. The sweat as big as beans began to flow down from his forehead. In just a few minutes, Zhang Zichen's clothes were wet with sweat.
So Zhang Zichen believes that this is not an illusion, but a place where it really exists. Zhang Zichen will not be wrong with all the thirst, the pain in the skin, and the real feeling of sweat.
"What's going on?" Zhang Zichen couldn't help but ask, "Is it the patriarch who chanted a spell that made us a great shift in the universe, or did we enter another space?"
So far, this is still an unknown number.
After about ten minutes, the patriarch stopped singing, and the dozens of Miao people also stopped dancing. It was so hard for them. In such a harsh environment, they could hold on for so long.
"Removing those two people and bringing them into the castle." The patriarch gave a command in Miao language, and the two of them immediately helped Zhang Zichen and Hu Yilai to loosen their ties. In the eyes of the patriarch and others, since Zhang Zichen and Hu Yilai entered this alien space, it would be absolutely impossible to go out.
"Old Hu? What did that old man say?" Zhang Zichen couldn't understand Miao's words, so he asked Hu Yilai.
"They said they would loosen the ties and take us into the castle." Hu Yilai explained.
"Castle, where is there a castle? In front of us is a large desert. Where does the castle come from?" Zhang Zichen looked around and found that in front of him there were deserts and deserts, and in the sky, there was no such thing as a so-called castle.
"The castle is behind you!" Hu Yilai may have discovered the situation long ago.
"Behind?" At this time, Zhang Zichen and Hu Yilai had been put down from the cross by these Miao people. After hearing that, Zhang Zichen hurriedly turned around, and there was indeed a huge castle behind him.
This huge castle stands in the desert. It is an ancient castle, covered with black air above the castle.
When Zhang Zichen turned around and saw the castle, he seemed to see countless ghosts flying at the top of the castle, screaming. This was a castle full of evil aura.
"Take them up and set off!" The patriarch seemed to show his abilities, and specially ordered his subordinates to bring Zhang Zichen and Hu Yi with them, and they walked into the castle together.
In this way, including all the women present, they lined up very neatly, moving slowly towards the castle in a row.
When I arrived at the gate of the castle, the feeling of the scorching sun in the desert disappeared, and replaced by a hint of coldness. The two heavens of ice and fire best reflect the situation at this time.
The castle is very big, and Zhang Zichen can't see the top of it just with a wall. Even a brick is bigger than Zhang Zichen's. If the construction of Egypt's pyramids is a mystery, then the construction of this castle is even more puzzling.
Every brick is so large that others cannot imagine. Even the gate of the castle is dozens of meters high. Zhang Zichen walked out of this spacious door and felt that the city gate was a bit of a waste of money.
In short, humans are like a truck in front of this castle, compared to an ant. The feeling is that they just feel that they are extremely small.
Through the castle gate, the yin energy inside was very heavy, the wind was strong, the ice was cold, and there were shrill human shouts from time to time.
There are many buildings in the castle, such as turrets, barracks, houses, etc., but none of them are empty and very terrifying.
After walking along the huge blue brick road, Zhang Zichen and his group arrived in front of the palace after walking for a few hours.
More than a thousand people stood under the palace, and everyone followed the patriarch's appearance and then continued to move forward.
Along the way, Zhang Zichen kept looking back, and the more than a thousand women behind him were in public, many young and beautiful, but these people were not Zhang Zichen's target, and Mo Yifei was Zhang Zichen's concern.
Of course, Zhang Zichen looks back from time to time and makes others feel inappropriate, but you know what it means to be between men...
So even the guards did not scold Zhang Zichen too much, allowing his eyes to wander around the meat buns and black spots behind them.
Entering the palace, it is bright.
Eight huge cylinders rose up from the ground, supporting the beams at the top. Various kinds of gold jewelry were inlaid into the cylinders, emitting light. Even the tiles on the roof were made into starry sky by various gold jewelry.
"This ancient Dian Kingdom palace is really gorgeous!" Zhang Zichen could guarantee that even Qin Shihuang's palace was not so luxurious or so luxurious.
"Hmph! Land bun!" But it was a guard guarding Zhang Zichen. He said contemptuously, "Our great god Chiyou was defeated by Emperor Xuanyuan thousands of years ago. Emperor Xuanyuan began to retaliate against Chiyou's descendants everywhere. Our ancient Dian Kingdom was not included. He was moved to the ground overnight by Emperor Xuanyuan, and countless casualties were injured. However, our king said that the great god Chiyou was not dead, and said that one day, the great god Chiyou would come back to avenge us."
"This story is a bit weird. Why do it be recorded in many books that after Chiyou was defeated by Xuanyuan, Xuanyuan was a benevolent monarch who accepted Chiyou's subordinates? He also helped his people develop and survive?" Zhang Zichen asked.
"What do you know about these?" The guard sighed, obviously a little worried about their current situation. "Since ancient times, has there been any emperor who said he had done bad things? Starting from Qin Shihuang, he had the final say on his crimes such as massacre of the six kingdoms, burning books and burying scholars, etc.? Also, in order to proclaim himself emperor, Liu Bang became a great man, and Xiang Yu was a fool. Li Shimin killed his brother and brother, coerced his father to give way, etc. Why is it right for the king to massacre civilians and kill his brother? That's because of the words of their kings, sometimes history can be changed."
"Do you know a lot?" Zhang Zichen smiled, "Have you read a lot of books?"
"I have been in the valley of Gudian Village since I was born. Every day, I have practiced witchcraft and read books, so I know a lot." The guard is a young man, in his twenties, wearing a set of Miao costumes.
"Oh, from your opinion, Emperor Xuanyuan did something wrong." Zhang Zichen carefully understood what the guard said.
"Ah!" the young guard sighed, "After the death of God Chiyou, our ancient Dian Kingdom was destroyed, and a few people escaped, including our king with strong magic power. The king of our ancient Dian is called Dianchi, and he is one of the ten guardians of God Chiyou, so he escaped."
"Dianchi Lake? Is the name of that big lake?" Zhang Zichen was stunned and asked.
"Yes, in fact, that big lake is named after our king." The guard continued, "After the king of Dianchi escaped from death, he was furious, so he used a kind of witchcraft to send the ancient Dian Kingdom into another time and space, which is our current time and space."
"No wonder through your spell casting, we suddenly came from the forest to the desert. It turned out that this valley was a huge space seal. The patriarch did this just a spell to open the seal gate." Zhang Zichen completely understood.
"You are right." The guards glanced around and found that no one was observing him, so they continued, "The King of Dianchi not only sealed the ancient Dian Kingdom in another time and space, but also sealed the two million subjects in the ancient Dian Kingdom who were killed by Emperor Xuanyuan. However, the King of Dianchi had to use his flesh and blood as a guide to seal these things, so he casts spells and bleeds, while cutting off his flesh from time to time."
"It seems that this is a good king." Zhang Zichen said with a wry smile.
"The King of Dianchi is indeed a good king and a good subordinate. He did this to avenge the great god Chiyou and the subjects of the ancient Dian Kingdom, and to be able to take revenge one day." The guards were a little disappointed, "In order to seal the castle and subjects, the King of Dianchi let go of all his blood and cut off his flesh and blood piece by piece. Even his eyes were dug out at the end. The King of Dianchi died, and his soul did not dissipate after his death, and his bones turned into a big tree."
"That's the king tree we saw?" Zhang Zichen said in confusion.
"Yes, the king's tree is transformed from the bones of the king of Dianchi Lake." The guardian explained.
"Your patriarch said that since thousands of years ago, you have been pouring blood on ancient trees. What's going on?" Since the guardian was willing to answer, Zhang Zichen decided to explore this matter to the end.
"Hey! Actually, this is the thing." The guard sighed again, "In fact, the king of Dianchi sealed the castle and the corpses of his subjects. This is a taboo witchcraft called the vengeful ghost. The meaning is very obvious. The king of Dianchi can't bear to be killed by the great god Chiyou, and cannot bear to be killed by millions of subjects. He sealed the corpses of himself and his subjects, preparing to take revenge one day."
Zhang Zichen suddenly realized and seemed to understand one thing: "You mean, if you want the King of Dianchi Lake and these millions of subjects to turn into ghosts and come back to take revenge, then you must devour human blood?"
The guard smiled bitterly and said, "You guessed half of it. That's right. If the King of Dianchi and his Yin Spirit Forces come back, you must water the blood of human beings every year and every month. Especially the blood of women, this is the best supplement."
"Oh! I understand!" Zhang Zichen said in surprise, "Women's blood is negative, especially the blood of unmarried and unborn women is the best treatment guide, so you have caught so many unmarried women."
The guard shook his head helplessly: "But unmarried women are not so easy to catch, so many of them are married women."
At this point, Zhang Zichen completely understood that Chiyou and Xuanyuan had a battle of thousands of years ago. Chiyou was defeated. In order to punish Chiyou's rebellion, Emperor Xuanyuan wanted to slaughter Chiyou's tribe members and descendants.
Among the people who were massacred, the ancient ancient Dian Kingdom was included.
