Strange events in the imperial capital

Purple twilight enveloped the line of the west mountain, Fang San'er took them to a high place to look far away, from a certain highland in the southwest, overlooking the god capital of the god hunting world.

They looked around and quickly fell into shock and shock.

At the foot of the mountain is an intact and majestic Beijing city. From a distance, it is clearly an ancient city facing south, nine inside and seven outside, surrounded and guarded by a deep moat.With Chu Han's eyesight, he can see that the buildings on the central axis run vertically through the city like layers of peaks.The city is subdivided into seven or seven 49 squares, the streets and alleys are horizontal and vertical, the planning is very neat, and the pavilions and houses are well arranged.

In the evening, the Drum Tower blew more sounds, lights were hung on the archery towers of various city gates, and candles were lit in the pavilions and homes in the city.Under the eggshell-like translucent purple sky, the whole city is full of lights, simple and magnificent.

Mo Ziba murmured "Fuck" several times, which was the mantra of this man to express shock and amazement.

Lao Qi, who was always restrained, had a solemn expression, subconsciously took off his hat and mask, and silently paid tribute to the scenery ahead, with a solemn expression.

Chu Han asked: "Are we now in Shuntian Mansion of the Ming Dynasty four or five hundred years ago?"

Fang Saner shook his head: "We are not 400 years ago, we are in 'now'."

Lao Qi was puzzled: "What do you mean, how could it be now? Didn't we wear it back?"

This capital city is very different from the real capital city in this world.Many buildings in the city don't exist anymore, it can't be now.

The layout of the city was also in the Qing Dynasty at the latest.The majestic Yongdingmen tower stands on the outer wall on the south side, with plaques and horses passing by.The tower of Yongdingmen is long gone, and the bustling Beijing South Railway Station is nearby.In the minds of old Beijingers, it is still called Yongdingmen Railway Station, but the gate tower is definitely gone.The city wall extends to the left and right sides, which are Zuoanmen and Youanmen.The Zuo'anmen Gate Tower is a beautiful single-eave Xieshan-style roof, with an archery tower and arrow windows for defense, and a semicircular urn inside.You'anmen also has a similar pattern.

The city gates in other directions are also guessed to be of such a complete scale.

However, in the current capital, there are no such towers.There are only Zhengyangmen and Deshengmen archery towers that have not been demolished, and there are solitary survivors in the south and the north.The rest of the world is basically unrecognizable.

In the city, you can see several large lakes in the distance. The water surface is vast, and many colorful birds fly over the sky where the lights intersect, making powerful and bright calls that benefit all directions.All kinds of spirit beasts wander around in the city.

Chu Han couldn't believe it no matter what. Wasn't this what the imperial capital looked like four or five hundred years ago, or at least 500 years ago?

They seem to have traveled back from the time axis, but in space, they have reached another inexplicable mysterious realm.

Several people sneaked all the way, quietly approaching the southern city wall of Shendu.

Chu Han asked Fang San'er, don't we have to wait for your brave Ninth Prince to enter the city together?

Fang San'er said very coolly, there is no need to wait.That guy is full and sucked up all the magma in the lava cave, and he will come out cleverly to find us!

"Suck up all the magma in the lava cave?..." Mo Ziba repeated unwillingly, with the corners of his mouth twitching, as if tasting and imagining what the magma tasted like in his mouth.

"Yeah, he likes that." Mr. Fang sneered.

Chu Han couldn't help but said: "Xiao Jiu won't jump out of the lava cave with no clothes on like yesterday in Base 501, forgetting about it and making a scene in the city? I'm really afraid of him."

The old eight's eyes lit up: "He made a fuss in 501 naked? On Mr. Chen's site?!"

Lao Qi coughed: "I heard what Team Liu said, just before I came, there was a commotion... and Mr. Chen was beaten."

Mo Ziba spat out "poof", and the point of his sneer was "beat up Mr. Chen"!He really wanted to know how to fight, Jiu Ye is awesome.

Recalling yesterday's situation, Fang San'er was also amused, and patted the back of Chu Han's hand to comfort him: "No way. That little bastard, who has never seen the world, has been in the well for a long time. This is the first time he has transformed into a human form, so He just went crazy and bit people. It’s not the first time for him to take a magma bath to heal his wounds, what’s so crazy about it? Then you’ll understand when you go to the dilapidated place in the Western Regions where Xiaoba lived.”

With a tacit understanding, Chu Han immediately began to search for the geological map of the Northwest of Huaxia in his mind.Tianshan Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, Taklimakan, Qinghai, where there is an active volcano or flaming mountain nearby, it might be the residence of His Highness the Ninth Prince. It is very suitable for our lively and mighty little Ninth Master to set up camp and live there.

Since the nine little dragons have different biological mothers, their ability to withstand spells is also different.

The Little House is obviously a water dragon, good at controlling water, enjoying water, but extremely afraid of fire.

Xiao Jiuye's underwater combat power is useless, but he is not afraid of the raging fire and magma.

Several people communicated in low voices, occasionally joked a few words, almost crawled on the ground with hands and feet, and their skills were very agile.They followed Fang Chitose and quietly approached the south moat.There were actually many soldiers in bronze armor stationed on the city wall.Those bronze guards walked in an orderly manner, lined up, walked back and forth, silent and vigilant, obviously having received years of training.

They were now arguing over a very practical question: by which door to enter.

All the city gates and buildings are heavily guarded.No matter where you enter, I'm afraid it will not be too smooth.

This involves the efficiency of entering the city.If you want to find the most effective shortcut, go in and try to use the shortest path to find Mr. Shen quickly!

"If you were the master of this city, such as the head of the ghost guards, and you caught such a treasure as Da Hehe, where would you detain him?" Chu Han looked at Xiaofang with judgment.

Fang San'er shrugged and said truthfully, "I have never arrested anyone or done such a thing, so I am not in charge of this stall...and I don't live in the city."

The meaning of Xiao Qiantui probably means that this person used to live between the white mountains and the black waters, and under the Tianchi Lake all the year round, and rarely visited the capital of God.With Chu Han's extraordinary political acumen, I made up the rest of the content, and I quickly got a good understanding.To put it bluntly, Xiao Bailong belongs to a large faction in the wild, similar to a mountain king in a certain wild mountain, or a gang boss, who also leads a group of loyal aquatic spirit beasts.Now another faction is in power in the city, that is, the ghost guards who are in charge of the discipline and order of the spirit world... This also explains why Fang San'er must hide his whereabouts and lead them into the city in the dark, very cautiously.

Fang Qiansui is obviously not as Chu Han thought at first, he knows the official order of the gods well and walks freely...

Of course, he didn't say such outlining and summarizing words, for fear of hurting the third master's face and self-esteem.

Chu Han lay on the ground, greeted a few people with Gogou, picked up a stone and drew directly on the ground.

He learned this, and he was proficient in drawing a rectangular city outline that connects the inner city of the imperial capital to the outer city.

Then there are a total of nine gates on the four sides of the inner city, southeast, northwest, and seven gates in the outer city.

The inner city is surrounded by the Forbidden City, and there are four gates on all sides.

The reason why the imperial capital was later called "Four Nine Cities" is the abbreviation of "Inner Nine Outer Seven Imperial Cities Four".

Chu Han marked the positions of all the doors very precisely, and said, "Let's rule them out one by one, how do we get in, and which route to take."

In a hurry to enter the city, the information was extremely limited, and basically he could only guess.

Lao Qi put forward an idea: "If all our assumptions are correct in advance, Mr. Shen fell here because of the energy of the Shenmu, he may have come from the same direction as ours? Could it be that he didn't enter the city, is he still outside the city? Cats on the mountain? Or went to other places, to Baishan Tianchi, or wherever?"

Fang San'er immediately showed disdain: "Since the idiot surnamed Shen came alone, with his ability, his brain...he couldn't even hide for an hour, and he was captured by the ghost guards long ago."

Old Seven: "...Oh."

Lao Ba snorted: "All of us have to be grateful to you, Lord Qiantose, otherwise we wouldn't be able to hide and we would have been captured long ago, wouldn't we?"

Master Fang gave Lao Ba a look: Otherwise, what do you think, go out and see the situation on the tower?

Lao Qi reached out and pinched Xiao Ba's neck from behind, rubbed it secretly, and taught his brothers to keep a low profile, and those who don't understand should keep a low profile first.

Mo Zi Ba looked at Fang San'er, with an expression of "I'm itching, waiting for your order to start fighting".

While those people were chatting, Chu Han quickly marked on his sketch map of the city outline.

He explained that since the capital city of God has been kept so complete and perfect, the rules and regulations since the Ming and Qing Dynasties should have been inherited and preserved.Do you know what the gates of our Beijing city used to be used for?

Chaoyangmen used to be the gate of grain transportation in Beijing; because it is the closest to the Tonghui River connecting the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, all grains transported by water enter the city through this.

Fuchengmen should be the gate for coal transportation; because it is the closest to Mentougou in Xishan, which is the place where coal is produced in the capital.

Dongzhimen has always been used by horses and chariots for transporting timber.

Because Xizhimen is close to Yuquan Mountain, which is used by the imperial palace, a large number of water trucks enter the city every morning.

Deshengmen is the only way for the army to go through in triumph, and more vehicles are used.

Andingmen, it is said that for no apparent reason, dung trucks are often used.

Chongwenmen is close to Daxing wine cellar winery, so take more wine carts.

Xuanwumen, commonly known as "Death Gate", is the closest to Caishikou Execution Ground, and there are many prison cars.

……

Several people pointed in one direction at the same time, that "dead door"?

"If Mr. Shen was captured as a prisoner and put in a prison cart, he should go to Xuanwumen, right?" Comrade Lao Qi thought.

"Surely it won't be the door through the dung truck?" Mo Ziba You was good at taking fun in the chaos, and could still laugh out loud at this moment.

"Generally, the death-row inmates who were executed at Caishikou were directly buried in the cemetery outside Xuanwu Gate. I'm really not sure how the suspects who entered the city got there," Chu Han said.

"In short, we should enter from the south according to the direction, so we might as well find a way to enter through the West Bianmen, which may be relatively weak in defense, and then go to Xuanwumen. After entering the city, go from west to east, and find Xijiaominxiang. It is the Ming and Qing Dynasties Approximate location of the Ministry of Criminal Justice prison." Chu Han quickly drew the route.

The old seven and the eighth looked convinced, so they did it, and listened to Master Chu, the brains of the team!

The always arrogant Mr. Fang gave Chu Han a hard look, with admiration and nostalgia hidden in his eyes, he always felt that Mr. Chu was very good and appropriate.

……

The last ray of purple air in the sky was exhausted, night fell, and the last batch of escorted prison cars passed under the Xuanwu Gate Tower, heading towards the gate.

The prison cart was not a wooden frame cart with ventilation on all sides, like the one where death row prisoners were loaded at Caishikou, but a boxy and deep cart, dragged forward by eight horses with great difficulty.The wheels have been rolling down two deep tracks under the city tower for many years.The car was as deep as a big pond, and there were hundreds and eighty black living dead in it.

The car was stopped at about the gate of the city.

The gate tower is guarded by many bronze guards, and small officers in school uniforms have to check their official badges.On the two horses leading in front of the prison cart, a ghost guard in brocade clothes sat on each side, showed his official badge sternly, and passed without a hitch.

Faintly heard those people talking.One of the ghost guards riding on the horse proudly scolded, "The people from the previous two days have been digested. The harvest in the cart is the harvest of the last two days. You must hurry to the city to check your body and clean it. It will be useful to feed it. Don't delay us by talking too much." !!"

The little officer let him go with a low eyebrow and a pleasing smile, "Master Liao, please slow down, please slow down"...

The other ghost guard was even more irritable, cursing: "Damn, this job is annoying! If it wasn't for the chaos in the outer city a few days ago, would you and my brother need to come out to clean up the mess? A captain and a thousand white-collar workers received the commander's salary, and they turned around and smashed their bones and scalped one by one!"

……

Chu Han was almost suffocated to death with this kung fu!He tried his best to hold his breath, but he couldn't block the strong and pungent smell around him.

This was the most painful disguise he had ever experienced, and it was so uncomfortable that he wanted to slip out of the hole.

It's better to go through the Andingmen, the dung trucks are nothing more than that, what a big mistake.

At this time, he was crushed to the bottom of the prison car, his face was squeezed into a pancake, and he had to stubbornly lean over to find a gap to breathe.He could barely see Fang San'er who was pressing on him with one eye.That guy had the same camouflage as him.Both of them were wrapped in a layer of human skin, whether it was corpse water or some viscous liquid, and they pretended to be the group of black and white living dead, and sneaked into the city.

They found those black skins outside the city.

Some people collected these living zombies, shoveled them onto large wooden carts in waves, and transported them away collectively.

Even Comrade Lao Qi could tell that those people were the unlucky ones who had been sucked into the courtyard wall of No. 3 Daxiangfeng Hutong and drained of blood and blood.Those people stumbled and fell into the black hole, obviously they also fell into the Godshunting Realm from another way.However, the way you come here determines the irreversible end.These people have now become miserable human skins, without flesh.

The most convenient way that Chu Han and the others could think of was to stuff themselves into the hollow skin bag and pass through the eyes of the two ghost guard leaders.Those two people were obviously afraid of dirt and smell, afraid of polluting their luxurious brocade robes, afraid of getting their boots stained with corpse water, so they kept standing far away, letting the minions shovel their skins, so they didn't inspect them carefully.

The smoky stench successfully covered the smell of the few of them.The colorful divine birds on the top of the city were all smoked by their caravan, turned ninety degrees in the air, and flew away with a creak, avoiding them and flying!

In the beginning, the sevens of poker were on Chu Han's side.

Comrade Lao Qi, who has always been introverted, actually has good intentions, but he also hates those stinky skins, thinking that it would be better for him to cover Young Master Chu than to throw a few black skins on Chu Han?

However, after getting into the car, the few of them squirmed and squirmed on the bottom floor, and Mr. Fang suddenly noticed something unusual.

Fang San'er kept silent, arched Lao Qi away with one shoulder, and covered Chu Han himself; he also thoughtfully propped up a narrow gap with his hands to let Chu Han breathe.

But the bastard surnamed Fang is also wrapped in black balls, how good can it smell?

Chu Han was speechless, and wanted to retract his nose into his face to seal his overly sensitive sense of smell.He closed his mouth tightly, and signaled with his eyes, it doesn't matter which one of you sticks to me, move that pile of skins away for the master, I'm going to die! ! ! ...

Carts are moving in the dark of the street.On the other side, the broad market is full of people and horses, with lanterns, cars and canopies, and clouds of beauties.The inner courtyard of the imperial palace, pavilions, pavilions, and palace halls are all magnificent and magnificent hundreds of years ago.Tall three-legged spirit beasts meander through the street.From the upstairs window, a man with wings and phoenix feathers jumped out from time to time.

After discovering the final destination of these shadow people, Chu Han also slowly figured it out. The entire Godshunting Realm itself may be a civilization that has been transformed into life by a huge energy field deep in the center of the earth after tens of thousands of years of evolution. The product is a spirit world.They are not worn hundreds of years ago.Hundreds of years ago, the Shuntian Mansion of the Ming Dynasty was just the predecessor of the current city, a common place.The almost perfect "divine capital" they were in, and the entire Chinese territory of the God Realm, were spaces that existed parallel to the "mortal world", a strange world that existed at the same time.

The energy field distorted time and space by using the big bang, or the energy accumulated from the depths of the earth, and even copied an ancient city that existed at the same time as the current capital.And this is a "disappeared city" that was originally covered by later dynasties and destroyed by modern civilization.

The already unrecognizable city reappeared in such a shocking way on this vast land, right in front of their eyes...

The cart entered from Xuanwumen, and against the vast night, fused with the lights of thousands of houses, it drove from west to east in the market, and sure enough, it finally stopped in a government office compound near Jiaomin Lane.

Chu Han and the others did not hesitate at all this time, as if they had made an agreement, while the two ghost guards were walking away, they hurriedly climbed out of the car, quickly rolled into an empty room next to them, and put the disguised black The skin comes off.

Several people were in a panic, their faces twisted.

It was rare for Comrade Mo Ziba not to say a word along the way, and he had never been so quiet when he went out. Now he hugged a pear wood vase stand in the corner of the room and vomited directly.

Several of them asked, those black hole victims who seemed to have suffered from the black death were collected by the ghost guards and transported here, what are they going to do?

Fang San'er said indifferently: "It is estimated that they will be thrown into the furnace soon."

Chu Han was surprised: "Throw it into the furnace?!"

Fang San'er asked back: "What do you think is going to happen? Are you transporting them here to treat their illnesses and injuries? How can you be so kind?"

Lao Qi said: "...This is too cruel."

Only a few of them, who had been in danger before, felt extremely lucky and fearful at this time, and did not fall into the end of being sucked dry and burned into corpse oil...

Fang Qiansui's indifferent eyes seem to be used to seeing the reincarnation of heaven in another world: "Those people whose flesh and blood have been sucked dry are not innocent. Only a group of villains who are fearless will suffer this kind of retribution. Let them know that above the human world, there are also divine powers that they should fear. Ghost guards are nothing more than using evil to control evil. Endless."

"Good people don't fall into this place, and kind people don't become ugly skins with no heart, no soul... Otherwise, you two also fell into the wall at the beginning, how could you survive? Because You did not do evil when you were in the human world, and you still have your soul."

Chu Han: "..."

Comrade Lao Qi had actually learned the truth about being rescued in No. 3 courtyard from Chu Han. At this time, he heard that Fang Qiansui did not rely on his original kindness, but explained that the number of days is reincarnated. With admiration.It's just that an introverted person will not easily reveal what he thinks in his heart until the critical moment.

"Those people are actually still alive, they will be smelted, potted, and finally built into an army of copper coats guarding the boundaries of the God Realm."

"Didn't you pay attention to see who the guards lined up on the tower are?"

Fang Saner said.

Chu Han suddenly realized: "Could it be those bronze men?"

"Are they the bronze men who guard and suppress spirit beasts?!"

Third Master Fang closed his eyes lightly, yes.

Chu Han really began to worry about Shen Chenghe's fate.

I had naively fantasized before that Dahehe ran to a different world zoo to graze alpacas leisurely.

Thanks to Fang San'er, the kid still comforted him in a calm tone, saying that Mr. Shen is definitely fine, and he is living well here.Heartless classmate Xiaofang!

Chu Han didn't even care about the stench, so he climbed into the big cart, picked and inspected one by one, tossing about one black bag after another, looking for Mr. Shen inside.The old seven and the eighth also crawled in holding their noses to help him find someone.

"If Chenghe had been loaded into such a large cart and brought in with the Black Death just a few days ago, wouldn't he have entered the furnace by now and been forged into a bronze man?"

"Damn it." The old eight added a handful of very heart-warming firewood at the right time: "Just now that row of goose-stepping idiots wearing copper-headed armor on the tower just now! Could there be one of them, that is Let's come all the way to find the person we are looking for!"

Before Lao Ba could finish his sentence, there was a sharp and treacherous cry from the top of the eaves where they were hiding.

It is a kind of bird, like a long-necked crane.

On the eaves, a fairly large giant bird with two wings, blood pupils, long neck, and sharp beak turned its head and stared straight at them.The giant bird uttered another cry like its throat was slashed, and it soared into the sky!

"No, it's a ghost car."

"Damn, you can't let this guy go back and report the letter!"

Fang San'er cursed in a low voice, and rushed out from the shadow of the room, his body was like a silver lightning, and he also jumped up.

The wingless body seemed to have wings, Fang Chitose took a sharp strike and hit it, reaching out in mid-air to grab the big blood-eyed bird.
