Chapter 1098 Three Questions Before the City
Chapter 1098 Three Questions in Front of the City
Faced with a life-and-death situation, everyone was busy racking their brains to think of a way to enter the royal city.
"What can you come up with by thinking this way?"
Sannomiya Airi scratched her hair and looked at Kurita Isao: "Too little information!"
What Sakura girl meant was that the cannon fodder had to be sent first.
"..."
Kurita Isao was speechless. He understood the meaning of Sannomiya Airi's gaze. She just wanted him to be the bad guy.
"Baga, find a chance to kill her!"
Although Kurita cursed in his training, he had no objection to being a bad guy, because those who died were worthless scumbags anyway.
In fact, even if Sannomiya Airi didn't urge him, he was planning to do so.
"Hey, you, go knock on the door!"
Kurita Isao called out the name of a long-haired man.
The long-haired man was startled and subconsciously took two steps back.
Kurita Isao rushed over, slapped him several times, then grabbed his hair and pushed him hard towards the door.
"Go!"
Kurita Isao grasped the hilt of the knife and pretended to draw it: "Otherwise I will kill you!"
Although everyone felt a little sad for the long-haired man, no one begged for mercy. Firstly, their status was too low and it would be useless to beg for mercy. Secondly, they also wanted to enter the city as soon as possible.
As a god hunter, the long-haired man knew that this was the treatment for the weak, so he stopped begging and walked tremblingly to the huge city gate.
Boom!
The long-haired man boldly knocked on the city gate.
No movement!
So he clenched his fists and hit them a few more times!
After a while, a deep and echoing chanting began to resound between heaven and earth.
"When the sky is about to brighten and the stars are moving in the same direction, I am the same as you. Since we are the same, there will be good luck..."
Lin Baici's heart moved, and he immediately activated the ability to memorize what he heard.
The long-haired man was a little panicked and took a few steps back.
The other people's faces didn't look very good either.
This chanting had a strange rhythm and some of the words were very unfamiliar and difficult to pronounce. Even people who were well versed in music would be confused when they first heard it.
When the song ended, all the soldiers on the city walls and outside the city gates stuck their spears on the ground and shouted loudly.
"Gale! Gale! Gale!"
"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death!"
The voices made by those soldiers were filled with a strong smell of iron and blood. Just listening to one of them was like a sharp blade cutting off one's neck.
When the chanting completely disappeared, two lifelike bronze lion heads, one on the left and one on the right of the city gate, opened their eyes like kings waking up from a dream.
Just a casual glance can give you a sense of the powerful and maneuverable spirit.
The long-haired man was scared and wanted to retreat, but the bronze lion head was already looking at him.
There's no way, because he's standing in the front.
The bronze lion head did not speak, and the long-haired man was afraid of saying something wrong, so he did not dare to speak rashly, and the atmosphere at the scene became tense.
"Baga, why don't you ask it?"
Kurita Isao was very angry. How could this jerk be so stupid?
He didn't dare to remind them because he was worried that he would be targeted by the bronze lion head and would be the next to be unlucky.
"say!"
It was Gu Qingqiu who was brave enough to urge them.
"I...we are..."
Before the long-haired man could finish his words, thousands of arrows suddenly appeared in the void and shot towards it in unison.
shhhhhh!
The long-haired man was shot into a hedgehog and died on the spot.
hiss!
Everyone gasped.
What the hell?
Why do they start killing each other over a disagreement?
This rain of arrows was obviously a pollution of the rules caused by the bronze lion head.
Everyone looked at Lin Baici, the only hope of the village.
After killing the people, the bronze lion head did not close its eyes, but scanned these people.
"I feel like it's going to rain arrows at any moment!"
"Stop 'feeling', for sure!"
"Think of a solution quickly!"
Everyone was extremely anxious, and those who had the defense grace had already been activated.
"Alumni!"
Just as Gu Qingqiu was about to speak, Lin Baici, Dudek, and Sannomiya Airi all spoke.
Instead of talking to the bronze lion head, they sang a song.
Anyone who pays close attention can tell that their tone of voice is the same as the song that was played after the long-haired man knocked on the door just now.
Yes,
This might be the way to purification!
Amidst the fear, everyone felt a glimmer of hope.
"As expected of my schoolmate!"
Gu Qingqiu smiled. It was comfortable to team up with a genius.
Lin Baici could memorize everything he heard word for word by relying on his ear-recitation ability, and he also activated the Sanskrit sound of Buddha.
Sannomiya Airi and Dudek obviously also have similar divine grace, otherwise it would be impossible for them to recite this poem "The Qin Empire" perfectly after listening to it once relying solely on personal talent.
When the three men finished singing, the soldiers did not collectively shout "strong wind" or "fight to the death", but the serious expressions on their faces relaxed a lot.
It is impossible for the people of the enemy country to learn "The Qin Empire", so anyone who recites it is their people and their allies.
Worthy of a friendship.
This pollution of rules is called the Three Questions before the City.
Now comes the first question.
If Lin Baici and his men did not recite The Qin Empire, the awakened bronze lion head would kill them directly.
Want to leave?
It's impossible. Those soldiers standing next to and on the city walls are not vegetarians.
Now the first question has been passed, so the bronze lion head spoke.
"I ask you, what are you doing here?"
This sound, with the clanging sound of metal, sounds like someone rubbing sandpaper hard on the eardrum.
No one dared to answer randomly. They subconsciously looked at Lin Baici, and then at Dudek.
Some people even glanced at Sannomiya Airi.
Because all three of them sang that fu.
Sannomiya Airi didn't know what to answer, and she instinctively felt that Lin Baici's answer should be better.
Dudek glanced at Lin Baici, frowned slightly, and was in deep thought.
He wanted to hear the answer from the Forest God.
To be honest, since entering Shenxu, the performance of this young man who holds the title of the youngest dragon wing in Jiuzhou in several rule pollution events has been truly amazing.
To say it is flawless is no exaggeration.
"If you are afraid of death and dare not answer, let the cannon fodder go first!"
Kurita Isao muttered softly.
He thought that anyone who answered incorrectly should be shot to death by arrows.
“Who’s afraid of death?”
Xia Hongyao is unhappy, who is she looking down on? My little Linzi is not a person who is afraid of death!
"Today, wherever the moon shines, wherever the boats and carriages reach, all belong to the king. I have been ordered to lead the delegation to present treasures to congratulate the king on his thousand-year merits and may he live forever!"
Lin Baici spoke in a literary way. He was worried that if he spoke in plain language, the bronze lion head would think he was illiterate and unworthy of entering the palace to pay homage to the king, and would chase him away directly.
The bronze lion head did not respond.
Everyone's heart immediately jumped up, and they secretly stared at the sky. If there was a rain of arrows attacking, they would immediately hide.
Just when everyone was becoming less nervous, the two bronze lion heads began to speak in human language.
"good!"
Some foreigners didn't know what the word meant, but they were relieved to see that the bronze lion head did not attack.
Lin Baici's answer should be acceptable.
Dudek nodded imperceptibly.
I didn't rush in.
That's right.
This forest god should be able to purify this pollution.
"I have been guarding the city gate all day for one hundred and sixty-seven years. I am tired and hungry. Will you offer your body to me to eat?"
The bronze lion head asked.
This time, four eyes stared at Lin Baici.
Everyone was numb instantly.
What the hell is this question?
The answer is yes. I guess they will really be eaten, right?
But if I answer no, I will offend the bronze lion head. Even if it is not shot to death by arrows, it will not be driven away, right?
Everyone looked at Lin Baici with nervous expressions, just like death row prisoners being held on the execution ground and about to be executed.
They were all longing for the emperor's decree of amnesty.
Lin Baici had an idea in his mind about how to deal with the situation. He asked Ghoul God about it, but Ghoul God did not respond.
"Based on past experience, there should be no problem. If I was going to die, the God of Ghoul would have definitely warned me!"
Lin Baici muttered to himself, took out a jade ruyi carved from jade, and some knife coins, walked to the city gate, and placed them on the ground.
"When I congratulate the king, I will ask for your services and report to the king your hard work and loyalty!"
Lin Baici looked respectful, but he was ready for a fight.
As long as the two bronze lion heads showed any signs of attack, he would immediately open fire at full force and crush them.
The depressing silence lasted for three minutes.
The bronze lion head opened its mouth.
"Remember your words!"
As these words were spoken, the huge city gate opened with a rumbling sound.
"It's open, it's open!"
"Forest God No.1!"
"Can you not go in?"
Everyone was happy because they had gotten through another pollution incident. However, when they heard someone say "don't go in", everyone's faces turned ugly again.
Yes, it is so difficult to enter the city gate. If we encounter two regular pollutions in a row, won’t there be pollution everywhere once we enter?
"Let's go!"
Xia Hongyao took the lead.
Among these people, Gao Ponytail was the most enthusiastic, looking like a child going to the zoo for the first time in his life.
If given a choice, even someone as strong as Dudek would not want to enter the Qin Palace Ruins during this period of time.
Lin Baici turned around and looked at the general!
"Humph!"
The general snorted coldly, rode his horse forward, and when he arrived in front of Lin Baici, he shouted, "Follow me!"
"Also, once you enter the royal city, no noise is allowed!"
After the general's warning, he led the way.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, we were brought to a small square paved with large bluestones.
The general sent someone to inform.
This wait lasted another hour.
Just when everyone started to wonder whether there had been another outbreak of regulatory pollution, a eunuch dressed in black arrived late.
Swish!
Everyone looked over immediately.
This eunuch had a long face and no beard. He looked to be about 27 or 28 years old. He was very tall and had a handsome appearance.
The general said a few words to Eunuch Wuxu, explaining the identities of Lin Baici and others, and then left with his personal guards.
The eunuch said nothing and looked at Lin Baici and his party coldly.
"Hey, Lord Lin, hurry up and send some more money!"
Kurita Isao urged in a low voice.
Lin Baici was not unwilling to see him off, he was just observing.
"follow me!"
After the eunuch finished speaking, he turned around and left, and his steps were quite fast!
Everyone quickly followed.
The palace was huge, and all the halls looked the same. Everyone followed the eunuchs around in circles, and even those with a good sense of direction felt a little lost.
"The seventh one!"
Gu Qingqiu counted silently.
After everyone followed the eunuch through seven palace gates and walked a short distance, they finally stopped outside a hall.
hiss!
Everyone gasped again.
Outside the main hall is a small square. In the middle of this small square, there is a Jingguan more than three meters high.
That’s right, the kind with heads piled up!
Those heads have been processed so they won't rot, and their faces are even clear, so you can see the fear frozen in time before death.
"Go to that side hall and wait for the king to summon you!"
After the eunuch gave his instructions, he prepared to leave.
"Sir, stay!"
Lin Baici rushed over with two big strides. He didn't stuff money into the box, but jade that he salvaged from the shipwreck, because that thing was more valuable.
The eunuch felt that there was something in his hand and quickly lowered his head to take a look. His originally cold attitude immediately softened a lot.
"What's the matter with you?"
The eunuch put away the jade without leaving any trace.
"I wonder when the king will summon us?"
Lin Baici asked with a smile.
"The king is holding a victory banquet. When the king is satisfied, he will probably summon you!"
For the sake of money, the eunuch told him.
"When will the king be able to enjoy himself?"
Xia Hongyao asked.
That king must be a god, and she couldn't wait to meet him.
"How dare you ask that?"
The eunuch yelled, "What does it have to do with you if the king is not happy?"
"..."
Xia Hongyao curled her lips and said, "If I don't ask, what if the king is a drunkard and keeps drinking until the end of time?"
"Don't be angry, sir!"
Lin Baici took out a few more pieces of jade and stuffed them in: "Please help me say a few good words!"
"We have come from afar, hoping to see the king as soon as possible, present our treasures, and congratulate the king!"
The eunuch looked indifferent and did not comment.
When everyone saw this expression, they knew that he didn't take it to heart.
"Sir, if the king gives us a reward, we are willing to give half of it to you!"
Gu Qingqiu interrupted.
When the eunuch heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, but he refused: "How can this be accepted?"
"That's a gift from the king!"
"I wonder where your Excellency lives?"
Gu Qingqiu smiled slightly: "After the Changsheng Night Banquet is over, we will definitely go to pay our respects to you, my Lord!"
"No need!"
Just when everyone thought there was no hope, the eunuch added the second half of his sentence: "When the time comes, I will send you out of the palace!"
People with more experience will naturally understand that this means the eunuch will ask for money when the time comes.
"How about this, you guys go to the side hall in the middle!"
The eunuch changed the place for everyone to rest and said, "I will find a chance to report to the king and ask you to present the tribute as soon as possible."
When everyone heard this, they subconsciously looked towards the side hall.
My mother!
If Gu Qingqiu had not promised to send a valuable gift, no one would have received such preferential treatment, and there was a high probability that they would be contaminated by the rules after entering the previous side hall.
Everyone was frightened for a while.
"Just wait patiently!"
The eunuch left without any need.
Everyone immediately felt a sense of pressure in their hearts.
"How lucky! Otherwise, we would have encountered rule pollution again!"
"What does this have to do with luck? It's because Gu Shen is so meticulous!"
"That's right, all the members of Xia Shen's group are elites!"
Everyone immediately flattered him.
They had heard Lin Baici call Gu Qingqiu "schoolmate Gu" before, so naturally they followed suit and called him "God Gu".
"Hey everyone, have you noticed that there is something wrong with that Jingguan?"
Sannomiya Airi suddenly spoke.
