Chapter 18 The Fire Family
"So these buildings are so towering, so how do you get into them and live in them?" Qiu Gu asked.
"This is not a problem. You can try our ladder in a moment!" The general said with a smile.
At this time, Liu Lianyi found that there were also people under the ground. Some people were actually imprisoned under this ground. It was very hot under the ground, which made Liu Lianyi very puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with these people? Why are they imprisoned under this ground?
"Oh, that's right. These people are all people who offend the great wizard. Those who offend the great wizard are illegal here, so they are prisoners. They will stay in these cages until they are finally tested as mummified by the continuous flames around them, and the mummified corpses will be taken back by the big wizard. This kind of thing makes you I'm really sorry to feel uneasy!" With that, the general asked someone to cover these cages. Although he could not hear the sound, he could feel that what happened to these people in such an environment must be a very horrible thing!
Under the leadership of the general, several people quickly came to the highest tower in this place and walked under the so-called patriarch's house. It was really difficult to see the head when they looked up. They could only see a towering building from their feet, and at this time, they only saw the general walking Next to the golden pillar, I don't know what I was playing with with my hand on the pillar, and then I saw that something like a square room came out of the golden pillar. Soon after this thing came out, it was opened, and the general made an invitation at this time. Gesture, saying, "This thing is what I called the ladder before. This thing will bring us to the high end of this building. We all take us to the patriarch through this thing. Of course, only the great wizard can enter it by flying. Except for the great wizard, we must You have to enter the top of this building through this thing.
At this time, Chu Wen stepped into this room with one foot. The room was very small and could hold about ten people while standing, but Chu Wen couldn't believe that this thing could bring people into a building more than 100 meters high, but he had to pretend to be a little when he came to this place, so Chu Wen The first one took the lead in letting everyone enter the building.
After entering this small room, he soon heard the sound of gear sliding, and people had a feeling of weightlessness. This thing seemed to really start. Chu Wen was very curious about how this was done.
"How on earth did this happen?" Chu Wen asked.
The general smiled and looked a little confident and said, "This is all a mechanism created by a great wizard. This thing is operated through gears, and I, a martial arts practitioner, can't figure out how this is achieved. In fact, I have always thought this thing is amazing!"
I didn't figure out what was going on for a long time. I automatically climbed up in this room for about a quarter of an hour. The room stopped. I only looked at the general's body and saw that the door in the opposite direction was actually opened. After the door was opened, everyone saw The situation is different from before, which is indeed very magical for Chu Wen and his party. This is something that no one has ever encountered.
After walking out of this room with incredible arms, I saw that it was a garden-like resistance, surrounded by fences. Qiu Gu couldn't help looking down through the fence and found that this was already at the top, and this place was the patriarch of the fire family. This is a garden. There are many rare things planted in the garden. The same situation as those hell on the ground is another difference. This place has water and green. Obviously, only the people with the highest status in this place may live in this place.
After the general brought everyone to this place, the general made a waiting posture for everyone, signaling everyone to wait in this place first, and then saw that the general walked to the room in the distance and said something to the two soldiers at the door, and then gave the bottle of water to the two taxis. Soldier, one of the soldiers brought the water into the room. After a while, the soldier came out and said something to the general, so that everyone with the general was allowed to enter the room.
Entering this room, you can see an old man sitting in front of him. The old man looks paralyzed, but it can still be seen from his appearance that the old man is still very healthy. In front of the old man is a long table, and this long table is from the old man's It continues to the door, which is about five or six meters long. There is a long row of candlesticks on this table. The old man is the patriarch. At this time, you can see that next to the old man is the water of the bottle brought by Chu Wen before. The patriarch seems to like this thing very much. Well, for the sake of that water, the patriarch also greeted everyone to sit down here. Qiu Gu sat in front at this time, but the general hurriedly stopped Qiu Gu, and then whispered close to Akiya and said, "You can't sit over there, you can only sit in this place!"
At this time, Qiu Gu did it here. In fact, there are two rooms in this room, but the middle of this room is blocked by a screen. This screen divides the room into two rooms, and the patriarch seems to sit alone in a room and does not allow others to step into that room. The room.
After everyone sat down, the general stood outside the door. At this time, the patriarch spoke and said, " Hello, everyone. I'm the patriarch of the Huo Miao clan. I'm very happy to receive distinguished guests. We haven't been here for guests like you for a long time. I'm really happy to see you, but You also saw that I was actually disabled. I hope you don't mind that I can't come to greet you in person!"
Where? The patriarch is really polite, but it is really not easy for us to come to this place, but we are satisfied with all the hard work to see the patriarch. Chu Wen said.
At this time, some maidservants brought a lot of delicious food. Of course, these things just looked delicious. Qiu Gu saw a red dong thing over there that seemed to be delicious, and the patriarch also saw that everyone was curious about these foods, so he said, "I While eating, they said that it must have been very hard for everyone to come to this place. These things are the supreme food here. I hope you will like it!"
With that, Akiya began to take action soon. The first thing Akiya aimed at was the red and cold thing in front of him. Akiya filled a little with a spoon to eat. Sure enough, this was a supreme diet. That thing was neutral like frozen meat from his mouth. The horse melted away, and then quickly flowed from his mouth to his stomach. The feeling was self-evident. Qiu Gu asked curiously, "What is this thing?" It's really delicious!"
When Qiu Gu asked this, the patriarch smiled, then looked at what Qiu Gu ate, and then said, "This thing is the human brain!"
The first time I heard the patriarch say that this thing was a human brain, Qiu Gu was stunned. Qiu Gu still didn't believe that this thing was a human brain, so he said with a smile, "The patriarch is really good at joking!"
But the patriarch still smiled and said, "I'm not kidding. Why am I joking with you at my age? This thing is indeed a human brain, an edible human brain specially cultivated by me, so don't worry, this thing is harmless to you and edible!"
Hearing the patriarch's swelling words, Qiu Gu was immediately stunned, and his stomach suddenly turned up. The previous delicious feeling was completely gone. He could only feel that he wanted to vomit, but at this time, Liu Lianyi hurriedly pulled the corner of Qiu Gu's clothes, and then laughed out to the clan. Chang said, "I didn't expect that your food tradition here is really strange. Haha, then this thing should not be a part of the human body!"
With that, Liu Lianyi politely took a bite of a pickle that looked like dry wood from the other side of his hand. It felt very good. Liu Lianyi smiled and said, "This thing is delicious. It doesn't look like anyone's organ, haha!"
When Liu Lianyi said this, the patriarch suddenly covered his mouth and said, "You're wrong. In fact, this is also strange. It's just a special thing. It's strange for men. This is hundreds of us..." Before the patriarch finished speaking, Liu Lianyi's facial muscles suddenly The younger son got up, but still suppressed his desire to spit out. At this time, Chu Wen, who was on the side, could only smile bitterly. At this time, Shang Fangjian, also put down his chopsticks and smiled and didn't know what to say. Seeing this, the patriarch asked with a very puzzled look, "What's wrong? Isn't it delicious?"
"No, no, it's delicious, but in fact, we were already full before we came here, so if possible, I want to eat something that is not a human organ to relieve it!"
At this time, the patriarch smiled and said to the maidservant next to him, "Give me something else!"
After the maid went down, the patriarch still said to the others, "What do you want to eat?"
Qiu Gu just said with a wry smile, "Let me drink some clear soup or something!"
Other people also followed Qiu Gu's side to say so.
Soon a few bowls of soup were brought up. These soups looked much cleaner, and they didn't seem to have the same thing that seemed to be solid as organs. Now Qiu Gu was relieved until Liu Lianyi came up and saw Liu Lianyi's careful lower mouth. Qiu Gu was I was careful. Everything here is delicious.
This time, Qiu Gu and Liu Lianyi dare not ask again. In fact, as long as they don't ask what it is, as long as they eat it delicious, it doesn't matter.
"Your eating habits are really strange. In fact, diet is just for human beings to live. As long as they can survive, as long as they can eat, they can actually eat. This is just a matter of your concept!" The patriarch said with a smile.
Everyone smiled. At this time, the patriarch continued to ask curiously, "What on earth did you come to this place for?" Few people here come to this place. Few people can cross the thousands of miles of desert, and few people can bring water from other places to this place. I didn't expect you to succeed. This makes me curious about your perseverance and the purpose of your coming to this place. Can you tell me? "
"The thing is, in fact, we are the envoys of the Zhou Dynasty. We have always been looking for the rare treasures of the world for our king. As far as I know, this place is rich in a kind of jewelry. This kind of jewelry is crystal clear and yellow, feels like gold and looks like lychee. According to the king's request That's why we came to this place to look for this kind of treasure. You are the patriarch here. I don't know if there is such a thing in this place? With that, Chu Wen looked at the patriarch and saw what the patriarch was thinking there. Chu Wen hurriedly continued, "Actually, if possible, do you think we can explore here for a while? In the future, we will definitely bring more water to this place to honor your family!"
Hearing Chu Wen say this, the patriarch looked at Chu Wen and then said, "Actually, it seems that there is such a thing here. I heard of this thing when I was a child, but I haven't seen it. Just now you said you would bring more water to this place in the future. But what you said, if you can keep your promise, then I don't mind letting you look for it in this place!"
Chu Wen looked at the others at this time, then lowered his head and smiled, and then continued to say, "Of course, our Zhou Dynasty kept their promises, and the things we promised will never lie to you!"
"Well, well, you will stay here for a while, and I will arrange accommodation for you. I hope you can find what you want to find, and I also hope I can get the water you said!"
After meeting the patriarch, as expected, the patriarch soon placed the residence for Chu Wen's team. This residence is quite luxurious. As always, the residence is built in a very high place. This place happens to have four rooms, and each room has a very luxurious bed. The bed is very warm, and everyone When I came to this place, I didn't rest at night. Soon after I couldn't see other people around, everyone gathered together to discuss today's things and what to do next.
"Brother, what are we going to do next?" Liu Lianyi asked.
Chu Wen thought for a moment and then said, "Since they already think we are treasure hunters of the Zhou Dynasty, let's go along with the water. Anyway, we can stay in this place for a while, which is just right. Let's investigate around here!"
But Liu Lianyi's idea of Chu Wen is a little different. "Actually, there is no such coincidence. Today, I see that the general and the patriarch have strange eyes. They seem to be entertaining us for water, and I don't think the story fabricated by the senior brother. It will be hit by such a coincidence, so I don't think it must be so simple. Do you want to talk about it from a long time?
Qiu Gu also asked puzzledly, "Is there anything wrong? Will the patriarch and the general lie to us? Isn't there that baby in this place at all?"
When Shang Fangjian heard Qiu Gu actually say such a thing, he could only sigh and then said, "This is a fabricated thing. There is no such treasure at all, and there will be such a coincidence here, so I think there must be something in it, but we don't know it yet. In fact, from the beginning to see the patriarch later, I felt strange. It seems that this place is not as simple as we thought. Have you found that the residents of this place have basically not seen it. We have only seen those imprisoned guys, and the other people we see are soldiers and Those maidservants, and there are indeed people around here. Why do those maidservants rarely come out? There must be something in this place that we can't explain clearly!"
While Shang Fangjian was talking, suddenly heard some hissing sounds outside. Chu Wen and his party hurriedly approached the window and looked in the direction of the sound. They only saw a huge sacrificial platform on the ground, on which there were two people tied. At this time A man dressed very strangely seemed to be chanting some spell over there. The guy looked about two meters high and could be regarded as a giant. At this time, the guy was holding an open book in his hand, and the soldiers around him were helping the two people to the pillar next to him. At this time, I saw that the two seemed to be scared and shouted desperately. Suddenly, I saw the tall guy chant a spell, and then pointed to the two people. Suddenly, I saw that the tongues of the two guys fell off, and then the tall man walked to the two people. Then he took out two jars from behind. There were many insects in the jar. At this time, those insects had been on the heads of the two people. When these things reached the heads of the two people, he immediately saw that the two living people began to rot from the head, and their tongues were gone. The two guys also shouted that they could not shout. When I came out, I knew that it was finally turned into a pool of blood to reach the end. Finally, it was not until the sacrificial platform was lowered to the ground that this place quieted down.
