"This tower is called Jingwing Tower."
I opened my mouth slightly and looked at Ji Chengxue.
"The tower is more than seven hundred feet high.
It is painted with the silver of the bright moon.
Inside the tower, there are nine curves and seventy-nine Buddhas, embedded with luminous pearls.
At midnight, the light can illuminate the heaven and earth.
It is so majestic that it is called Jingwing."
Ji Chengxue narrowed her eyes and said calmly.
I seemed to understand, but after hearing Ji Chengxue say these words, I also had a new understanding of the tower.
This is not an ordinary tower.
It can stand for thousands of years without falling.
There must be something inside the tower.
What a mystery.
"Go into that tower and take a look.
Maybe there is water inside."
Baihua Yeyong patted his clothes and said softly.
I nodded and immediately walked towards the towering silver-white tower.
Taking a closer look, it turns out that the Jingwing Tower is not straight to the sky, but slightly tilted to the left.
The tower has thirty sections and is hundreds of meters high.
The entire tower body is carved from a silver-white boulder and is very solid.
This kind of material is extremely rare, and few people can use it in modern society.
It seems that the Jingwing Tower is also very important to Shaohao's country, because not even the palace in the distance can use this kind of stone.
I walked to the somewhat gloomy door of the tower, and with a little force, the stone door was pushed open with a roar.
As the stone door opened, a puff of smoke instantly poured out from inside the tower.
When I turned my head, my nose was filled with the smell of moldy dust.
After a while, when the smoke and dust cleared, I slowly walked inside the tower.
When Ji Chengxue and the others saw me entering, they also followed me.
The inside of the tower was not too dark, probably because there were skylights on each floor.
I could see everything inside the tower very clearly.
Compared with the outside, the inside of this tower has an extremely primitive and vicissitudes of feeling.
The surrounding walls are densely carved with strange and twisted characters, and the stairs are spiral-shaped and curve upward.
As soon as I entered the tower, I saw a stone sculpture of a phoenix placed in front of me.
The statue is lifelike, without any trace of blur, but it is now covered with dust.
I didn't stop, but continued walking up to the next floor.
The layout of the second floor was exactly the same as the first floor, except that the stone sculpture in the middle changed into a dove bird.
"There are stone carvings on each floor, which is a bit strange."
I pursed my lips.
This tower is not big, and the stone carvings occupy almost half of the open space.
If it is just for sightseeing, there is no need to create such a big pomp.
Ah, but if it has a deeper meaning, what does it mean?
I thought about it and went up to the third floor.
Like the previous two floors, a stone sculpture of a bird was still empty around it, with strange words carved on the wall.
I felt a little panicked when I saw it.
I turned to look at Ji Chengxue and said, "Do you know what this statue is used for?
Why is there one on every floor?"

Ji Chengxue pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "The Jingwing Tower is said to be used to describe the hierarchy of Shaohao Kingdom in ancient books.
This hierarchy is not the size of the official position, but a unique style of Shaohao Kingdom."
Measurement standards.
The first level is Fengniao, the second level is Jiuniao, the third level should be Chongming if I read it correctly, the fourth level should be Xuanniao, and the fifth level is Bi Fang."
"This hierarchical system is passed down one by one.
On the top of the tower is definitely the sculpture of Jin Tianshi, the leader of Shaohao Kingdom.
There is nothing too weird here.
Don't worry, I can't understand the words, so You don't have to ask me."
Ji Chengxue shook her head, then closed her eyes, looked at the ghost boy in her arms, and said no more.
"That means that as long as we keep going up, we will definitely be able to see the statue of Jin Tianshi, the leader of the Shaohao Kingdom."
Baihua Yeyong asked suddenly, and then walked forward first.
I followed her and stepped forward to take a look.
As expected by Ji Chengxue, the statue on the fourth floor was indeed a black bird.
But for some reason, the left wing of the black bird was broken.
That is not natural. not broken, but similar to scars cut off by a sharp weapon.
I looked at the cross section, a little surprised, and thought to myself, maybe someone came here before us.
But why cut off one of the wings of this black bird?
At this time, Ji Chengxue and Yang Qingqing also came up.
When they saw it was a black bird sculpture, Ji Chengxue also slightly nodded and said: "The black bird is a relatively important mythical beast in myths and legends.
Most tribes use it as a patron saint to worship.
Yes, this Shaohao Kingdom is really interesting.
I am interested in seeing what the sculpture on the top is."
With that said, Ji Chengxue waved her long red sleeves and climbed up to the fifth floor with the ghost boy in her arms.
I was about to follow him, but I heard a thud behind me.
I shuddered all over and turned around suddenly, only to see Yang Qingqing suddenly fainted on the ground for some reason.
Seeing this, Baihua Yeyong and I immediately walked over and patted Yang Qingqing's cheek.
Unexpectedly, she didn't react at all.
At this time, Baihua Yeyong's professionalism was seen.
She looked at Yang Qingqing.
She patted her casually a few times, then frowned and said, "Lack of water means she's fainting.
If she can't find the water source, I'm afraid she will suffer from dehydration."
As soon as the words fell, Yang Qingqing woke up slowly.
"Hurry up and find the water source.
This is our main goal now.
Who is the leader of Shaohao's country and what he looks like?
In my opinion, it is not important at all."
Baihua Yeyong He shook his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
I nodded.
Baihua Yeyong was right.
I was shocked and panicked by the sudden appearance of Shaohao Kingdom.
Logically speaking, the first thing we should do is to find the water source.
Now, Yang Qingqing is suffering from water shortage.
Maybe the next one to faint will be me, Baihua Yeyong, or even Ji Chengxue, who has become an ordinary person.
We were all so anxious to know what weird things there were on the tower that we forgot the most important thing.
I helped Yang Qingqing, and we quickly went up to the fifth floor.

After reaching the fifth floor, I didn't see Ji Chengxue, so she must be on the top floor.
I looked around the tower, and sure enough there was a one-legged statue of a strange bird on this floor.
I squinted my eyes and it turned out to be Bifang.
I didn't say anything more and helped Yang Qingqing to continue walking to a higher level.
I don’t know how long I walked, but I just felt a little out of breath.
After stopping for a while, I looked up and found that I had reached the top.
I took a deep breath, the air a few hundred meters above was good.
At this time, the top of the tower we were on was actually a large platform.
The platform was several hundred meters wide and high, with a semicircular cover on it, and the ground and top were covered with strange words.
I put Yang Qingqing on the cold ground and looked at Ji Chengxue.
At this moment, a pitch black throne was placed in front of Ji Chengxue's eyes.
The throne was as if it had been carved out of black crystal.
It was extremely gorgeous.
Although there was no extra carving or exquisite decoration on the throne, for no reason, I felt dizzy just by looking at the throne.
And when I walked to the front of the throne, my head suddenly buzzed, and my whole person instantly entered a state of near collapse.
Right in front of me, on the pitch-black throne, was a person sitting.
To be more precise, a statue was sitting on it.
The statue was leaning on its chin with one hand and holding a long sword upside down in the other hand.
Sword, luxurious clothing.
This statue is extremely beautifully made and lifelike.
But just by looking at it, I knew that this was Jin Tianshi, the leader of Shaohao Kingdom.
But it was because this statue was so exquisite that it put me in an almost unimaginable state.
Because the leader of Shaohao's country and Gu Xinlie are almost carved from the same mold.
Baihua Yeyong came over and looked at the sculpture on the throne.
He couldn't help being surprised and said, "Isn't this Mr.
Gu?"
Even Baihua Yeyong could see it.
I frowned, not believing this to be a mere coincidence.
Return to the ruins, Shaohao's country, Gu Xinlie's disappearance, my arrival, everything seems to be performed according to the script.
If this is also a coincidence, then I can only say that this coincidence seems a bit too clever.
"What are you thinking about?"
Ji Chengxue turned her head for the first time and asked me.
I shook my head and chuckled.
Although I didn't say it, I was still muttering in my heart, what is the mystery behind it?
Although we haven't encountered any ghosts or other things that make people feel numb since we went to sea, it is still a dangerous situation.
But it happens from time to time.
I suddenly felt like someone was plotting against me.
Shaohao Country is a country that highly advocates spiritual beliefs, and its hierarchical system has strict planning.
From low to high, the birds that Shaohao Country believes in are actually illusory existences in myths and legends.
This kind of existence is actually, to put it bluntly, Shaohao Country's yearning for a beautiful world.
This kind of yearning is all reflected in the body of Jin Tianshi, the leader of Shaohao Kingdom.
If there was only one sculpture here, maybe I wouldn't be suspicious, but now there is an extra throne and the most suspicious thing is, This throne is not made of the same stone as the sculpture, but is carved from a material I have never seen before.
The whole throne is extremely stunning at first glance, but if you look carefully, it will become more and more intimidating and even a little scary, because that throne seems to have magic power and can firmly grasp your eyeballs.
It's like pulling you into the throne.
At this time, suddenly, the whole tower shook violently.

I cursed secretly, and suddenly remembered how the country of Shaohao came out.
This city was originally under the desert.
It would break out of the ground every once in a while, and after a while it would return to the desert again.
I should have thought of this kind of thing, I cursed secretly, blaming myself for being a little careless.
As the tower gradually swayed, I felt a little trembling in my heart.
I quickly pulled Yang Qingqing over from a distance, and then asked four people to surround the throne and grab the limbs of the sculpture to prevent it from being thrown off.
I'm not worried about being buried alive.
As far as my guess is concerned, there must be an extremely huge space underground.
Otherwise, if it were really underground, the tower built with these stones would probably be crushed by the sand in an instant. fragments.
Before I had time to think about it, I just felt the world spinning in front of my eyes, and then there was a bang, and I felt countless grains of sand scratching my face and getting into my clothes.
I held my breath and couldn't even open my eyes.
I could only hold on to Ji Chengxue and Baihua Yeyong with my hands
