The Secret History of Mars
Chapter 102 The Gateless City
The wheat boat Cui Xingmeng and others were riding on was traveling thousands of miles a day on the golden waves of wheat in the northern latitudes. The breeze blows in the ears, the golden color rolls in the eyes, and the fragrance of wheat straw comes to everyone, making everyone feel so comfortable!
Soon, a city appeared in the wheat waves. From a distance, the golden brick walls were integrated with the wheat waves! At this time, the high priest came to Wen Yuze and said, "Hebo, Wanggu City is just ahead."
As he spoke, the city was already in sight, and the high priest shouted again in his melodious voice, "Stop~" The lingering sound was still ringing in my ears, the wind stopped and the waves of wheat subsided, and the wheat boat stopped gently under the city wall. . Looking at the high priest's magical ability to summon wind and rain, Yuan Yizhou roughly understood what Wen Yuze said. The Mayans have used the powerful calculation function of the photon computer to become their own spring, summer, autumn, winter, wind, frost, rain and snow!
When the wheat boat stopped, Cui Xingmeng discovered that there were many vehicles similar to the wheat boat they were riding under the golden city wall. It's just that the shape is slightly different. They are riding a dragon boat, the color is brighter gold, and the size can easily accommodate a company. Most of the wheat boats docked under the city wall are closer to yellow in color and can be as big as five or six people.
When setting off just now, the guard who was the last to board the boat and put away the steps now took out the steps made of wheat straw. Only this time, instead of placing the end of the steps on the ground, the steps were directly placed on the deck of the wheat boat and the city wall. After they were fixed, they stood respectfully at the foot of the steps, waiting for everyone to go up the city wall.
"Is this the way to enter Wanggu City?!" Cui Xingmeng looked surprised. Most cities have city gates. Not only does there not be a city gate here, but you have to climb the wall to enter the city. So what is the use of the city wall? There is no blocking or defensive function at all.
Wen Yuze listened to Cui Xingmeng's heartfelt voice, and said with a gentle smile, "High Priest, these are my distinguished guests. It is their first time coming to Wanggu City. Can you please help explain them?" After that, he He wholeheartedly went to accompany his goddess Ye Qinghe.
The high priest looked at his monarch, how could he still look like an emperor in front of Ye Qinghe! He shook his head helplessly, thinking that his master really knew He Bo. Fortunately, he left the border early, otherwise the entire Wanggu City would have changed hands. Thinking of this, I became a little perfunctory with these distinguished guests. I raised my hand and walked towards the steps and said, "Everyone, please. If you have any questions or needs, just ask." By the way, he said a polite word, which was a courtesy to himself. Make a business trip to the boss.
Cui Xingmeng didn't care about the little thoughts of the high priest, so he relied on him without asking, "Master Priest, why doesn't Wanggu City have a city gate?"
The high priest has been called "high priest" for more than a thousand years. Over time, this is not only an official title, but also gradually replaced his name. This is the first time that he has heard someone call him "sir", and It felt pretty good, so I was a little more patient with Cui Xingmeng.
"This city grows in wheat fields. If you have to build the so-called gate, you must also pave corresponding roads. This will cause a lot of damage to the wheat fields and create safety hazards and road traps for wheat boats."
'That's right. Since their means of transportation are on wheat ears, if the wheat is cut to clear the way, there will naturally be a danger of the wheat boat falling to the ground. The drop of such a person's height is also quite dangerous. ’ Cui Xingmeng thought with agreement after listening to the high priest’s explanation.
"Then if there is an invasion by foreign enemies, wouldn't this city be besieged on all sides? The city walls are more like docks for berthing wheat ships than defenses." Cui Xingmeng asked the question he was most worried about, recalling the machine gun net of Jura Palace, the steel Walls, thick city gates, Wanggu City looks like this, there are really no safety measures at all.
"No one dares to invade Wanggu City." The high priest said one word, denying all of Cui Xingmeng's worries.
"Why?" Cui Xingmeng came all the way and drove straight in without encountering any obstacles. Although he was traveling with the king, he inevitably got priority treatment, but if there is an enemy attack, it seems easier to attack the city than to enter an ordinary city. Much.
"Because here lives the fighting Buddha. The golden cudgel in his hand can beat any enemy back to his mother's womb with one blow. Who dares to invade?" For nearly a thousand years, the high priest has personally served Wen Yuze and him. My master, Wuzhi Qi, has already seen a thing or two about Wuzhi Qi's abilities.
At this time, everyone had already stood on the city wall one after another, only to discover that this city not only had no gates, but also no inner city! The place where they stood was a flat and wide square. From a square perspective, in the center of the square was a pyramid that reached straight into the sky. The city wall they had just climbed up with great difficulty was just the foundation of this pyramid.
Only then did Cui Xingmeng understand what the high priest said. This was not a city at all. Naturally, there was no need for city gates and walls. Wanggu City was actually a huge pyramid of the sun!
When the Mayans walking in twos and threes in the square saw the high priest and Wen Yuze, they all stood respectfully and saluted, waiting for everyone to pass before moving on. Soon the high priest led everyone to the bottom of this towering pyramid.
"Hebo, do you and your distinguished guests plan to take the steps up from outside the tower, or directly take the ladder inside the tower?" The high priest did not intend to give his king any advice. Both roads will end at the top of the pyramid. , Wu Zhiqi's anger in the Sun Temple, if the ladder is faster and the steps are slower, the result will be the same, the high priest thought with a look of death.
"It's our first time coming to Wanggu City. You can take the steps to see the scenery in the city." Wen Yuze listened to the high priest's voice and asked him to delay for a little while.
"Okay, then please come with me." The high priest almost rolled his eyes at Wen Yuze, but for the sake of the emperor and his ministers, he still held back. He led the crowd and walked up the stairs, holding a ruby jade staff.
The steps in front of me don't look like anything special, but if you climb to the sky on foot, it will be tiring enough. Is this what the high priest calls "taking the steps"? ! This is too deceptive. Cui Xingmeng hates sports the most, especially mountaineering, which is harmful to the skin and knees. It has no intersection with her life. If she really wants to finish this journey, she can't see the end with the naked eye. As for the steps, she would rather choose the ladder in the tower.
"The teleportation platform on the steps outside the tower has arrived. Everyone, please come up and stand inside." When Cui Xingmeng's hatred for climbing the steps was about to explode and she was about to get angry, the high priest's words resolved her ladylike image crisis.
