Yumen Young Master

Chapter 155 The Tower Keeper

The Sanwei minaret is the three towers built high above the central castle. The three towers once soared into the sky stand side by side. The golden spiers radiate brilliant light in the sun, which is amazing!
Over the long years, the left and right minarets have collapsed hundreds of years ago and become traces of history. Today, only the middle minaret is left, and the top of the tower has also been damaged. It is no longer as holy as it was a thousand years ago.

However, when standing under this towering minaret that has stood for thousands of years and looking up at the top of the minaret, everyone still has a sacred and solemn feeling.

It is said that Moxiu, the ancestor of the Mok people, was buried under this pagoda, and suppressed the pagoda with his own body and soul, so that the pagoda would not fall down for a thousand years.Now that a thousand years have passed, the minaret is still standing here, like a gray-haired old man, telling the past.

The gate of the Sanwei minaret is a thick arched stone gate, which is majestic and majestic. The stone gate is ten meters high and about five meters wide. It is a complete boulder. From this we can see how much it cost to build this minaret. human and financial resources.

Such a large complete stone needs to be transported from the stone-rich Devil Pill City, which is enough to show how well-developed the transportation industry was back then.

That was the most glorious era of the Quicksand Continent. Merchants who came and went passed the desert on huge sand ships, transporting goods to and from various places, and ran across the borders where the continents intersect.

In the desert at that time, oasis cities could be seen everywhere, and it was very convenient to supply supplies on the way. Unlike now, if you take out a map, you can only find a few oasis cities. Moke Castle is the largest and most beautiful among them. bustling one.

On the huge pagoda gate, there is a string of complicated characters carved, which seems to be an ancient Buddhist term.

"The tower has a secret language. If we don't know it, we can't go in." Mo Fanzheng shook his head, his face showing a bit of embarrassment. Even if he has been living in the central castle, he has never arrived here. A tower that can be entered casually, otherwise, the inside would have been looted long ago.

"Is the secret language the words carved on the tower gate?" Xi Ning has been staring at the ancient writing on the wall, always feeling familiar, he seems to have seen it somewhere.

"I don't know, I don't know these words." Mo Fanzheng felt helpless. In the past, there were heavy guards here, and only Mo Wuming could come in. Thinking about it now, the person who came in was not Mo Wuming, but a member of the seven major families. people.

Unexpectedly, thousands of years later, the minions of the seven major families could easily enter such a secret place as the Three Dangerous Spire.

Yuliu's magical eyes swept across the gate of the pagoda, and said lightly: "This is Sanskrit, and the six-character mantra of Buddhism is carved on the stone gate. The origin of this minaret seems to be related to Buddhism. The architects of the year used many elements of Buddhism. , Including the murals and steles we saw, all reflect some Buddhist culture." Yu Liuhuan only learned about it in the magic mirror, and it is not very clear.

"That's right, I read in the classics that thousands of years ago, many Mok people would worship statues of Buddha at home, worship regularly, and offer incense, but now, many people don't pay attention to it anymore." It seems that with the whole The Quicksand Continent has gone from glory to decline, and people's belief in Buddhism is no longer as enthusiastic as it used to be.

Mo Fanzheng clasped his hands together, and silently recited the six-character mantra. After the words fell, the stone gate stood still, showing no signs of opening.

"The pronunciation is not very standard." Yu Liuhuan said beside him.

"Oh, Liu Huan, come on, I... I just have a try." Mo Fanzheng said with some embarrassment.He didn't know these words, and he didn't know where to hear the pronunciation, so he wanted to see if he could open this tall tower gate.

Yu Liuhuan clasped her hands together, and slowly read a six-character mantra from her mouth. Everyone felt that the six-character mantra flew out of her mouth, and it turned into a golden light copybook, which was pasted on the stone gate. It overlaps with the words carved on the door.

The Shimen seemed to tremble slightly, and then, a woman in green appeared on the door. The figure of the woman in green was like a phantom, printed on the door like that, which looked quite strange.

Mo Fanzheng couldn't help being startled, the woman in green clothes reminded him of Tan Huai, the companion who invited him to ride the sandboat on the way.

He brought a group of six men in green. He wanted to come to Mok Castle to seek revenge for his sister, but an accident happened on the way and they were taken away by demons.

The woman in green was like a phantom, her whole body stuck to the stone gate, as if she had been sealed on the gate, she could only stay on the stone gate, as if she would be summoned if she chanted a secret word.

When the man in green saw Liu Huan and the others, his face was gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "Who is coming? How dare you trespass on the Three Dangerous Tower? Don't you want to be made into jerky to pay homage to the ancestors of the Quicksand Continent?"

"You are?" Mo Fanzheng asked suspiciously.

"I am Luman, the latest tower guard of the Sanwei Minaret. Anyone who trespasses on the Sanwei Minaret will be punished." It was the first time Mo Fanzheng heard that it was the tower guard. He took out something with green light and looked at the green phantom on the door: "Do you know this? This emerald."

Luman's pupils shrank, and she immediately screamed: "Ah! You, why do you have this thing? It's mine." After saying that, a big green hand stretched out from the tower gate, and a big green hand stretched out from the tower door. Fan Zheng snatched the emerald from his hand.

Everyone was surprised for a while, and they all became vigilant. What kind of tower guard is this, who can stretch out his hand so long, but fortunately, he just took away the emeralds instead of attacking them.

Mo Fanzheng stood in the middle of the tower gate and continued to ask: "A big brother in green gave it to me and told me to hand it over to his sister. Is it you?"

The tower keeper held the emerald and looked at it repeatedly, and suddenly burst into tears. After a long time, he looked at Liu Huan and the others in a cold voice and said, "Oh! It's not me! I'm just the tower keeper here, Luman, I'm not What Qin Yu, I'm not, I'm not..."

Xi Ning was in a defensive posture, and while protecting the person behind him, he said, "This person seems to be a bit insane, he looks the same as Mo Wuming, Liu Huan, do you think she is also controlled by black eyes?" ?”

The woman in green on the tower gate was crying and glaring at Yu Liuhuan and the others fiercely. Yu Liuhuan sighed softly and said, "I'm not sure, but what is certain is that she was sealed in the tower as a tower guard." It has been many years on the door, and the group of people in green clothes we met before should be her family."

As soon as Yuliu Huan finished speaking, the woman in green cried again in panic: "No, brother, he is not a bad person, and Mo Wuming is not a bad person... You don't understand him! You don't understand!"

The woman in green has a painful expression, her eyes are full of crystal tears, it seems that there is a lot of unexplainable pain in her heart, like a dumb man eating coptis, she can't express the pain, but she is so eager to explain, eager for someone to listen to her .
