Chapter 162

According to Wen Yu, this Wuming city was originally a fortress built by Yang Jing, a master of the former dynasty. It was originally built on the fertile plain north of Jiangling, but it was later relocated for unknown reasons. After the migration, Wuming city , no one knew where it was, and after that, news of Yang Jing's death suddenly spread, and the city also disappeared.

However, Wen Yu got a treasure map in his hand, and according to the guide on the map, he found the location of this ancient city.

To the north of Lushan County, there is a large mountain that stretches for hundreds of miles. There is a platform in the mountain surrounded by water on three sides, surrounded by cliffs and ravines, and only one side can go up the mountain. The terrain is dangerous.

After the migration, Uming City was established here.

There are a lot of snakes, insects, rats, ants, tigers, leopards, and wolves in the mountains. Although everyone is good at it, the beasts in this world are extremely ferocious, not to mention that it is not uncommon to encounter any monsters in such poor mountains and rivers.

As for those poisonous insects and the like, most of the poisons used by master poison killers are refined with these things, and it is even more important to be careless.

The level of danger in the mountains is much higher than Jiang Yang imagined, and it is impossible for ordinary experts to deal with it.

And this mountain is full of cliffs and deep ravines, which will be dangerous if you don't pay attention. It took two full days to trek through mountains and rivers all the way, and finally arrived at the ruins of Wuming City that Wen Yu mentioned without any danger.

The city was built in this kind of place, which can definitely be called a majestic and steep pass. Except for the side where people go up the mountain, the other three sides are cliffs. According to Wen Yu, there are many plank roads on the cliffs, and there is a big river at the bottom of the mountain, so water transportation is very convenient.

Building a city in such a deep mountain and old forest without affecting the traffic at all, this design is simply extremely ingenious.

And this kind of place, it's no wonder that no one in later generations can find it.

It was already evening, and the setting sun shone through the dense woods and fell on the ground covered with fallen leaves. Looking forward, one could vaguely see upright trees planted around the ruins, guarding the ancient city like soldiers. , but the city wall has already collapsed, walking through the woods into this collapsed ruins, you can see many ruins.

At a glance, the ruins were full of weeds, which almost completely covered the ruins. The whole ruins felt as if they could not be seen at a glance. Jiang Yangchu made a rough estimate, and the area was at least several hundred acres.

And Jiang Yang noticed that in this ancient site, there were several tall tower-like buildings that seemed to have not completely collapsed, and there were still some remaining stone temples standing in the ruins under the setting sun.

"We're here." Wen Yu said.

Jiang Yang stopped in front of the ruins of the city wall, and a few crows landed on the broken wall made of bluestones, making piercing calls.

He smelled some rotten and bloody smells, looked forward, and saw a few black strange birds pecking at something, and when he looked closely, it seemed to be the corpse of a wild beast.

He frowned immediately, and the others also showed surprise expressions, approaching vigilantly, and taking a closer look at the evening light from outside the mountain at dusk, it should be the corpse of a tiger. Something spilled all over the floor.

Jiang Yang bent down and took a look. This tiger was bigger than the real one, like a cow, but it was broken in two from the spine. There was no trace of a sword, but it looked like a tiger. It was torn apart by something with great force.

At this time, Wen Yu reminded: "There are many monsters in this place, everyone be careful."

"Brother Wen, have you encountered anything before?" Jiang Yang asked.

Wen Yu explained: "When I came here before, I found that all the people in this city have turned into ghosts, wandering around at night."

"I encountered a lot when I first entered."

Hearing this, Jiang Yang looked a little serious. He hadn't encountered such a thing as a ghost for a while. Wen Yu said that this city is full of ghosts. In such a big city, the number of monsters is probably enough to make one's scalp tingle. .

Lin Yushu next to him asked suspiciously: "In this case, why don't we come back during the day to avoid these ghosts?"

Wen Yu explained: "I discussed this issue with Mr. Chen before, let Mr. Chen explain."

At this time, everyone's eyes turned to the middle-aged man dressed as a scribe.

Chen Zimou caressed Xu and said, "Have you seen those towers in the ruins?"

"Brother Wen discussed the layout of this ancient city with Mr. Chen before. If Mr. Chen's guess is correct, this should be the layout of the Seven Stars Arching the Moon recorded in the ancient books."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, pointed to the tower-like building standing in the twilight in the distance and said: "There are seven towers in total, connected end to end."

"It just so happens that this place is the leading position where the entire mountain range rises and falls. We chose this treasured place and set up a seven-star arched moon bureau to store wind and gather energy. It is also a huge formation. Ordinary people will lose their way immediately if they enter it. .”

"And the layout of these towers coincides with the astrology. When the moon rises, the air of the cloudy moon flows with the formation and gathers towards the eyes of the moon. Only at this time can we use the stars and the moon to identify the direction in the formation, and at the same time Only at this time will there be a chance to open the mechanism and enter the underground of this historic site."

Wen Yu nodded and said, "Exactly."

"According to my previous investigations, there should be a large area under this ancient site, and that area is the core of the Uming City we are looking for, and it is also where the treasure house is located."

Jiang Yang was stunned when he heard the words, it is really not easy to find a way to open the mechanism in this situation, not to mention that this is just entering this relic city, and the treasure house mentioned before is not even a shadow.

Jiang Yang then asked: "Then how to open the mechanism, what should we do?"

Wen Yu explained: "The entire ancient city itself is a huge labyrinth. Although there are only remnants of the wall left, the effect of the labyrinth is still intact, so we can only follow the rules and follow a specific route to enter it."

"Otherwise, once you get lost in it, it will be difficult to find a way out, and then you will have to face endless monsters of undead souls."

"Later, I will lead you into it. We will pass through the seven towers one by one, leaving a small team to enter the bottom of the tower until all seven teams go deep into the bottom of the tower. After that, I will notify you with paper cranes."

"We need to open the organs at the bottom of the tower in a specific order, so everyone who has received the paper cranes is requested to open the organs as soon as possible, so as not to delay the time and mess up the order."

Jiang Yang secretly marveled in his heart, it's so troublesome?
He glanced left and right, and found that other people also had different expressions. Lin Yushu and others showed surprise, but the person who moved the mountain gate showed a look that should be so.

As for Gu Qing, he paid attention, and seemed to have no expression.

Next is the team. According to Wen Yu, this place is more dangerous the further you go, so the person who needs to enter the last tower must not be weak.

At the same time, Liu Yan, Wen Yu, and Chen Zimou were the only ones who knew how to get lost in the city. Therefore, these three people had to lead the teams separately, so that they could lead the seven teams to the abandoned palace in the center in the shortest possible time after the mechanism was activated. - The entrance to the underground palace.

The final division result is:
The Wei brothers are the first team.

Pei Dutou and Chen Zimou formed the second team.

Three of the six people from Qianshanmen are the third team.

Lin Yushu and Gu Qing are the fourth team.

Wen Yu and Jiang Yang are the fifth team

Zou Yan and other three people from Qianshanmen form the sixth team
Liu Yan is the seventh team
After the team was divided, Jiang Yang was secretly startled, this Senior Brother Liu was worthy of being Wen Yu's Senior Brother, but he actually entered the last tower alone.

At this time, all the talents came to the entrance of the ancient city together.

It was also nightfall.

There are almost no roads in the city, only weeds and trees taller than people cover the collapsed broken walls.

The wind is blowing, the vegetation is shaking, and it seems that there is something unknown hidden in it.

Wen Yu said: "We can go in now."
