Volume 5: The Gathering of Storms Chapter 307 Building
It turned out that on the side of this huge warship close to the cliff, there was a winding waterway that led directly to the depths of the island.
And deep in the waterway, there were actually some lights!
The lights flickered and were dim.
Seeing this situation, everyone felt strange.
Due to the thick fog, how could a light from such a far distance penetrate the fog and be seen by everyone?
Isn’t it a bit weird?
"There's a light..." Huo Anu pondered, "That means there's someone there? Should we go over and take a look?"
"What about this ship?" Ani pointed at the huge warship, "Why don't you go up and take a look?"
"I'm afraid..." Dai Long shook his head and said, "It's not easy to get up there, is it? I don't know if our ropes can be hooked onto the side of the ship.
"Even if we can hang it, it's too difficult and dangerous to climb at night at such a high altitude!"
"Yes," Han Feier said, "If we want to climb onto the ship, we can only wait until the fog clears during the day. The ship is tilted, and perhaps we can climb onto the ship by leaning against the cliff."
"It's so quiet..." Ani murmured, "There seems to be no movement on the boat!
"Sir, what do you think we should do?"
"Okay," Xu Zun also felt that it would be dangerous to risk climbing such a huge warship, so he nodded and said, "In that case, let's go to the island first.
"Everyone is keeping their eyes peeled. Who lives on this island?"
There was no need for Xu Zun to remind them, as everyone had already paid utmost attention. Not to mention these battle-hardened guards, even the experienced Han Feier had encountered such a strange situation for the first time.
Having made up their minds, they did not stay under the giant ship for long, but rowed their boats towards the light...
The water was calm and very quiet, so quiet that it even made people feel uneasy.
However, everyone soon discovered that the fog in the waterway was much smaller, no wonder the light could be transmitted so far away.
Looking deeper from here, you can see that the lights on the island are not just a few dots, but stars.
If those lights really indicate that people live there, then that means there are quite a lot of people.
Everyone was excited and nervous, but the boat was rowing faster and faster. It took less than half an hour before they finally arrived at the place where the light came from.
Xu Zun sat at the bow of the boat, keeping a close eye on the situation in the distance.
As the lights got closer, more and more disbelief appeared in his eyes.
Because, he saw - the building!
No mistake, it must be the building!!
Moreover, it is not an ordinary building, it is a pavilion, and a very exquisite pavilion at that !
Judging from its height, the pavilion is actually built on top of a steep cliff.
"What's going on?" Dai Long said stupidly, "Why do I feel like I'm back in Daxuan? Aren't those... just castles in the air?"
"Lanterns!" Annie had the sharpest eyes and she could see clearly that the lights were emitted by lanterns.
Red lanterns were hung on the corridors of the attic, forming thousands of red lights, illuminating all the buildings red...
I am...
Xu Zun was completely stunned. He could never have imagined that there would be such a wonderful sight here.
Seeing this situation, the soldiers rowing the boats rowed even harder, because they felt that the people living here should be the people of Daxuan.
That ancient, majestic and exquisite castle in the sky could only be built by a great Xuan person.
Soon, the boat arrived and everyone was staring in amazement without realizing it!
What caught everyone's eyes were the exquisite pavilions, flying eaves and brackets, carved beams and painted buildings, exquisite shapes, and magnificent beauty...
"Sir..." Dai Long was the first to notice the problem when he was stunned. "Why is there no one here? Do you need me to call out?"
Xu Zun didn't say anything, just waved at him slightly.
At this time, the river gradually narrowed and turned into a bay.
After turning around, I saw that the cliffs on both sides were almost all built with castles in the sky!
The pavilions are connected to each other, with stairs and plank roads. In some concave places on the cliffs, there are also wide platforms.
There was a stage on the platform and seats underneath the stage, as if a good show had just ended.
What’s even more surprising is what happened next: some shops gradually appeared on the pavilion, and there was a huge word “米” written on the shop fronts!
There are also some mysterious characters such as "cloth" and "iron" at the end.
"Wow!" Everyone was even more surprised. One soldier muttered, "This place was really built by the Great Xuan people!"
"No..." Unexpectedly, Han Feier shook his head and said, "The style of these characters is not used by my Daxuan, and there are also architectural features.
“Look…” She pointed at the animal patterns on the pavilion’s brackets and said, “I, the Great Xuan, worship the Dao, and the Dao fears tigers.
"So there will be no tiger images on any of my buildings..."
Huh? Really?
Xu Zun recalled his past life, and it seemed that there was no such taboo?
On second thought, this place is not the previous life, and Xuan Dao is not the Taoism of the previous life.
"Then..." Dai Long soon thought of a possibility, and suddenly felt his heart tighten. He said carefully, "Could it be that... there are remnants of the previous dynasty here?"
"Yes, yes, yes..." said the soldier rowing behind, "When we were young, we often heard the elders say that when Taizu recovered Qizhou, some people fled to the East China Sea... Could it be... that it was built by those fugitives?"
Islands, cliffs...
Xu Zun felt that this was increasingly unscientific. Wouldn't it be easy for a wooden loft to rot if it was built on the cliff of an island and was exposed to sea breezes all year round?
It has been nearly a hundred years since the founding of Daxuan. If these people have been in exile for a hundred years, why are these buildings so new?
It feels like the paint on the wood has just been applied.
"Sir, sir..." At this time, Ani pointed ahead and said excitedly, "Look, there are stairs, there are stairs!"
When everyone looked, they saw a staircase built on one side of the river, which led to the pavilion above.
strangeness!
At this time, Xu Zun also felt that something was wrong. There were lanterns lit everywhere in the building, so how could there be no one there?
Everyone was excited, but Xu Zun remained calm and connected everything in front of him with the giant battleship outside.
What if... the giant ship did not run aground accidentally?
Does that mean... this place is extremely dangerous?
"Wait a minute!" Thinking of this, Xu Zun suppressed his throbbing heart and ordered everyone, "Paddle forward a little more and see what's ahead?
"Rowing the boat carefully along the shore, don't make any more noise!"
After Xu Zun said this, everyone became nervous and quickly shut up.
Under the light, there was clearly a bay ahead. Xu Zun wanted to know what would be after turning around the bay.
Soon, everything returned to silence, and the boat rowed towards the deep water along the side of the waterway.
As a result, after the boat turned around the bay, a shocking and spectacular scene appeared before their eyes, leaving Xu Zun and others dumbfounded and unable to believe their eyes.
But after turning the corner of the water, a majestic palace suddenly appeared on the cliff in front of us!!!
