Chapter 867: Yuji Palace
An hour later, everyone had arrived close to the top of the peak.
"Climb up the slope in front and you should reach the Immortal Cliff!" Gu Fanji, the head of the "Huashan Sect" said, with excitement in his tone.
"According to Tang Tiexin's posthumous letter, as soon as they reached the top of the cliff, they were besieged by magic masters and all of them were captured. We must be careful when we go up the cliff this time." It was Tang Zilin who spoke.
.
Fei Yunzi shook his head and said: "Back then, there were only nine of them who came to look for medicine. How can they be compared with the hundreds of masters from eight sects like us now? Deputy Sect Master Tang is too worried!"
Hua Bushi stared at the rocky slope on the top of the cliff in front of him for a while, but he saw that although the slope was steep, it was very wide and straight, and there were large rocks around it for hiding. It was not a terrain that was convenient for an ambush and attack. He immediately said: "
Deputy Sect Leader of the Tang Dynasty, you and Miss Lianhua lead the crossbow shield warriors up the cliff from the middle of the slope, and be careful of the ambush at the top of the cliff. Master Yuantong, please lead the disciples of the eminent monks of your temple to go up the cliff from the left side of the slope. Master Baoxuan please lead the "Wudang Sect"
Taoist priests, please go up the cliff from the right side of the slope."
He paused briefly and said: "Senior Guolou, please bring the Qingyun Guards behind me to provide support. If you encounter a strong enemy and intercept you, you will send out a firework signal."
Hua Bushi's arrangement caused the masters of the three strongest sects to go up the cliff in three directions. Even if there was an ambush from the devil on the top of the cliff, attacking from three sides at the same time would be enough to deal with it.
Everyone followed the instructions and climbed the dozens of feet long slope in just a few breaths for masters of various sects who were good at Qinggong.
Seeing that more than a hundred people in front of them all climbed to the top of the cliff, Hua Bushi and other heroes from various factions were watching and waiting at the bottom of the slope. After a while, a firework was seen shooting into the air from the top of the cliff, but it was not a signal for enemy rescue.
, but to indicate safety on the slope.[
Now everyone went up the slope together, and after a while, everyone had climbed to the top of the cliff. The strange scene in front of them made them open their eyes wide and amazed.
After crossing the snow line, the slopes were steep all the way up to the Saintess' Peak. When we reached the top of the cliff, there was a large flat open space in front of us, hundreds of feet wide, all covered with ice and snow, showing a silvery white color, which was very beautiful.
What surprised everyone was, of course, not the large empty space, but an extremely tall and majestic building in the empty space.
This building stands straight like a tall tower, but its shape is irregular and uneven. It is not man-made, but a natural stone peak. In fact, at the top of this ten thousand-meter-high peak, in a land of ice and snow, there are
It is absolutely impossible for human beings to build such a tall and spectacular building out of thin air.
I saw that many room holes were dug out on this stone peak, and side eaves and purlins were carved out on the outside, just like a palace half embedded in the mountain peak.
It is not easy to drill a tunnel or carve out one or two stone chambers in hard rock. The palace in front of us, which looks like a pagoda, has seven floors. The first floor is more than four or five feet high. From the outside,
There are no less than hundreds of holes that can be seen, and there are also countless rooms in the belly of the stone mountain. The project to dig out this stone palace is huge and can be said to be extremely grand!
What is even more amazing is that the rocks on this peak are all pure white in color. Among the surrounding large areas of silver-white ice and snow, they look like jade carvings carved by ice. There are also layers of white mist curling out, surrounded by the mist.
Among them, this palace is almost as good as the Qionglou Yuyu and the Immortal Palace and Temple towering in the clouds.
It seems that the name "Fairy Cliff" is really appropriate!
This kind of wonder can only be seen by ordinary people. Although most of the heroes from various factions who climbed to the top of the cliff were well-informed, they all stood there for a while, staring blankly into the distance.
After a while, I heard Master Kuxin, the head of the "Emei Sect", take a long breath and say: "In Tang Tiexin's last letter, he only mentioned that the Demonic Dao built a jade temple on the top of the Immortal Cliff.
"Iso Palace' has a unique scenery, but I didn't expect that there is such a place in this world! Is this the residence of gods?"
Master Yuantong recited the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, all colors are false. Although this palace is magnificent, it is the lair of evil and evil people. We must not be colored by color, we must capture it as soon as possible!"
"
The voice of this eminent Buddhist monk was as loud as a bell. Hearing this, all the heroes came to their senses. But thinking of such a fairyland-like palace, there must be countless gold and silver treasures hidden in it. As long as this palace is captured,
Being able to get it in their hands, everyone's hearts are filled with enthusiasm.
When Hua Bushi reached the top of the cliff, he was also amazed at the majesty of the palace. However, he also inspected the surrounding open space and found nothing strange. It seemed that the people in the demon path were only guarding the stone palace and did not set up an ambush at the top of the cliff.
.
He said loudly: "Miss Lianhua, you will still lead the crossbow shield men to open the way in front, and we will follow behind!"
At this moment, most of the heroes from various factions are impatient and just want to attack Yuji Palace as soon as possible. Those who go in first may find more treasures.
The disciples were walking at the front, feeling somewhat reluctant.[
However, all the way up the mountain was opened by the "Tangmen". It was certainly not appropriate to take the lead at this time. Therefore, some people raised objections, but they all quickened their pace and followed closely behind Tang Lianhua and the crossbow shield bearer.
After walking for more than a hundred steps, everyone was only fifty or sixty feet away from the palace. As they got closer, they could feel the majesty of Yuji Palace. On the white rock wall, the carved eaves and painted pillars were clearly visible.
At the entrance under the wall, four large golden seal characters "Yuji Holy Land" are engraved, which can also be clearly recognized.
But at this moment, someone could only be heard shouting: "Look, what is that big white thing in front of the palace?"
The top of the cliff was originally covered with white ice and snow, but martial arts practitioners with good eyesight could see that the vast expanse of white and ice in front of the palace was different from other places.
I saw that large piece of ice and snow suddenly began to roll and move, rushing towards the direction of the group of heroes.
Hua Bushi looked at it intently, then suddenly his eyes sharpened and he said: "No, those are wolves!"
It turned out that the thing that looked like ice and snow turned out to be a large pack of wolves! Except for the red front muzzles and eyes of these wolves, their whole bodies were covered with white fur. They had been lying on the snow, making it extremely difficult to distinguish them from a distance.
Ordinary wolves mostly have gray and black fur. Pure white wolves are extremely rare species, but the large group in front of us has thousands of them, which is almost unbelievable. These wolves are at least three or four feet long.
, among them there are three alpha wolves that are over six or seven feet in length, their fangs are as sharp as knives, and they look extremely ferocious!
The wolves ran very quickly on the snow, and they were already close in just a few breaths.
Tang Lianhua, who was opening the way in front of the team, saw that something was not going well, and immediately turned around and rushed back to the rear team. However, the twenty crossbow shield bearers did not have such superb light skills as her, and they were immediately swallowed up by the wolf pack that came up.
.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※Although it is only fifty miles from Zaguzhai to Shengnu Peak, it is covered with dense forests. , Ximen Tong and Li Hu rode horses and rushed to the foot of Saintess Peak, which took an hour.
Ximen Tong had to admit that he benefited a lot from being with Li Hu. Although his equestrian skills were not bad, his ability to identify directions and find paths in the mountains and forests was not comparable to Li Hu. If he were to go alone Come, even if you don't get lost along the way, the time it takes to get here must be at least doubled.
At this time, Li Hu was squatting next to a big tree, carefully observing some footprints and horse hoof marks of different shades in the grass.
"Judging from the way the grass blades were trampled, the men and horses who left these footprints passed here about half an hour ago." After a moment, Li Hu said.
In the eyes of Ximen Tong next to him, there was nothing special about those footprints, and he couldn't tell when they were left. However, he believed Li Hu's judgment and asked: "But Master and the people from the seven sects What?"
Li Hu shook his head: "No. Although there are more than a hundred of these people, the horses they ride are all local Sichuan horses, which are different from the boss's horses. Moreover, many of these people walk barefoot. , there is no such person among the seven sects."
"Barefoot?" Ximen Tong asked.
Li Hu said: "That's right. Not only is he not wearing shoes, but his feet are also chained. He seems to be a prisoner being escorted."
Ximen Tong frowned and said, "To escort the prisoners here, could it be done by someone from the devil's path?"
Li Hu said: "That should be the case. Why don't we follow these footprints and see what they are up to? Anyway, the direction they are heading towards is also the foothills of Saintess Peak."
Ximen Tong thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's follow."
With Li Hu's tracking ability, it was not difficult to keep up with this group of hundreds of people. The two of them chased on horseback. Half an hour later, they had arrived at the mountainside of the Saintess' Peak. The surrounding woods gradually became sparse, and the distance was far away. The team ahead is not far away either.
So the two abandoned their horses and followed on foot.
Running long distances, riding a horse can save energy, but both of them have strong light skills. Flying among rocks is faster than riding a horse, and they are not easily noticed by the team in front.
After a while, the two of them had to distinguish the footprints on the ground to track them again, because the people and horses in front had already entered their sight.
Ximen Tong and Li Hu hid behind a rock and saw that this group of people indeed had more than a hundred people, but only about thirty of them were on horseback, and most of them were on foot.
Chapter completed!
