Snake Tangled Three Dreams

Chapter 165 Decaying Demon Tower
The moment he heard the news, his brain went blank, anxiety and worry invaded all senses, and he was in a trance.

So much so that how he was taken away by Qingzhuang later, he can't remember at all.

Breaking through a layer of cloud-shrouded barrier, the slightly cold and humid wind rushed head-on.

The carriage drove quickly through the bleak woodland, and the snow-colored birds flapped their wings overhead, gliding over the fallen leaves and branches.

Pulling the cart are several snow-colored deer, and the bells on their necks jingle as they run.I sat by the window of the carriage, raised the curtain and looked at the scenery passing by outside, with belated doubts in my heart.

"Qingzhuang, where is this?"

Qingzhuang's eyelids were red all the way, she clasped her fingers and didn't say much, when she heard my voice, she raised her head and glanced out the window, "This is Yunlanze."

"Yunlanze?" I always felt that it sounded very familiar. After thinking about it carefully, I finally remembered that I heard this place name from Mrs. Hu at the Hu family's wedding banquet.

The strange thing is that I didn't have any special feelings when I heard the word Yun Lanze before, but I don't know why, as soon as I stepped into this place, I always felt that every plant and tree here was very familiar, and even the wind brushed my face They all seem to be calling me, that kind of noisy and earnest voice is looming, and some people can't tell the truth from reality.

But I didn't care about these things. I asked her several times what happened to Liu Wangzhi, but Qingzhuang kept biting her lips and shaking her head. Her eyes that used to smile were wet. She just refused to tell me his situation directly. I'll see it for myself.

My heart was so overwhelmed that I almost couldn't sit still.

As the carriage sped out of the woodland, a huge and magnificent ruin suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, surrounded by piles of gray-black ruins and broken walls, and a wind-eroded old nine-story tower stood majestically in it.

Qingzhuang pushed the door of the carriage and helped me down. Against the light, I gradually looked up from the lintel of the pagoda. Suddenly, a picture flashed in my mind. At its once glorious peak, the gilded eaves and the top of the tower inlaid with night pearls, the sun and the moon shine together, like a dream.

"Tingyue, Tingyue?" Qingzhuang gently pushed me, "What's wrong with you, why are you in a daze?"

I was shocked, and I escaped from the illusion in my mind. My eyes flickered for a moment, and I quickly recovered my composure. "It's okay. But why is this tower broken like this? What are we doing here?"

Qingzhuang stood in front of the pagoda with one hand behind her back, raised her head and watched silently for a while, then suddenly she twisted her wrist, and light green spiritual power was gathered in her palm, she lowered her head to her lips and blew, countless green fluorescent lights scattered like flying sand , Gently brushing the crooked and decayed plaque on the tower door.

The dust that had been solidified by the rain flew away little by little, and when I saw the big gilt characters clearly, I was suddenly amazed.

"Lock... Lock the demon tower?!" I was dumbfounded, and couldn't believe it for a while, there really is such a place in the world.

Qingzhuang nodded, moved to stand next to me, looked at the tower side by side with me, and said slowly: "Yun Lanze used to be the residence of the 'Tianze Gate' of the demon-subduing clan, they were born with the blood of imperial demons. The monsters who submit to them will get a beautiful and comfortable house, and those monsters who are naturally rebellious and refuse to be tamed will be imprisoned in this tower until they are willing to surrender."

"Then what happened later?" I asked, "Why did the Demon Locking Tower become like this?"

Qing Zhuang glanced at the broken tiles and ruins, as if looking at a grain of sand in the long river, "Later, the Tianze Gate fell, and the Demon Locking Tower collapsed, so this place became like this."

A few words, like a feather duster, the dust turned into smoke is easily taken away.

"That's not right." I suddenly came back to my senses, recalled the purpose of this trip, and urged her impatiently, "What are you bringing me here for, and where is Liu Wangzhi? Take me to see him!"

Qingzhuang's face was covered with sorrow for a moment, she sighed softly, her crisp voice became a little hoarse: "Your Majesty...he is in the tower. However, you have to be mentally prepared in advance."

how could be?How could Liu Wangzhi be in the Demon Locking Tower?

My heart sank in my chest, I took a deep breath, and followed Qingzhuang into the Demon Locking Tower.

Unexpectedly, the inside of the tower and the outside of the tower are completely two worlds. From the outside, the towering tower of the Demon Locking Tower only has nine floors, but looking up from the inside, the upper floors are layer after layer... It seems There is no end to it.

I followed Qingzhuang up the ladder, the mechanism was activated, and it slowly rose to the top of the pagoda.

Qingzhuang stared down, and suddenly touched my arm: "Tingyue, didn't you always want to know what happened to Yin Chun?" Before I could answer, she stretched out her jade finger and pointed down. , "Come on, look over there."

My eyes slid down to the direction of her finger, and I saw compartments with seals around the tower. I was almost caught off guard, as if something stood up in the compartment, and then one after another, countless people Shadows immediately filled every compartment of every floor of the pagoda!
"How could anyone?!" I exclaimed.

Qingzhuang pursed her lips, her eyes were a little helpless: "Look again, take a closer look."

I don't know why, so I calmed down and looked at the past again.

I saw a woman standing in each compartment. They were wearing the same clothes, with long black hair hanging loose, and even their looks were almost the same.

What is even more astonishing is that they...were very similar to me and Yin Chun.

At this moment, I seemed to hear countless voices resounding in the tower, including laughter, crying, and even the neighing of demons, howling of beasts...

I staggered back suddenly, holding on to the railing of the ladder, and lowered my head to ease the lingering fear in my heart, "They... what are they? Are they ghosts or demons?"

"Not at all." Qing Zhuang shook her head, "In fact, Yin Chun is not an ordinary person, she is from here, just like these women, she is a lotus root carved by the emperor himself from the jade lotus root in the purple jade lotus pond."

I was slightly taken aback, and she continued.

"After the doll's house incident, Junshang was worried that you would continue to be watched by his side, so I asked my sister to pick up the most spiritual lotus root person from here, and then we all cooperated in acting to make her look like An independent living person. But the character of the lotus root is uncontrollable, no matter what, she is just a shield to bear the danger on your behalf."

"Tingyue." She gently took my hand, looked into my eyes, her eyes were full of sadness, "If you quarreled with Junshang, it was because you cared about Yin Chun's existence, maybe after you know this, can you stop talking about me?" Compete with him again."

Speaking of this, she didn't continue to talk, but these alone were enough to cause huge waves in my heart.

But I still had doubts, so I asked her: "Then Liu Wangzhi, why did he carve so many lotus root people?"

"Oh...you will understand when you see Your Majesty."

The corners of Qingzhuang's eyes were red again, the more she was like this, the more impatient I became.

After an unknown amount of time, the ladder finally stopped, at the top floor of the Demon Locking Tower.

The pale light fell on the marble floor, and Fei Jing stood in front of a door, waiting quietly with her eyebrows raised.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, she raised her cold eyes to look over, and her tone was obviously blamed: "The movement is too slow, take her there quickly."

Qing Zhuang nodded to her, took my hand and led me to the door, and pointed to the small window on the door panel: "Your Majesty, he is inside, go and see him..."
