Chapter 294: Longevity Palace

Views:

The wooden door of the palace was knocked out by the hard head of the king salamander with a large hole more than one meter wide, which saved everyone the trouble of opening the door. Su Rui took a picture of the jagged edge, and found that the wooden door, which was more than three meters high and two meters wide, was more than half a foot thick. If it weren't for the "help" of the Overlord Salamander, they would pay it back for a while. I really can't get in.

Su Rui touched the wood stubble in the crack of the wooden door, put it on her nose and smelled it, "It's nanmu. This kind of wood is hard and corrosion-resistant. It can knock such a huge nanmu door into this way. The strength of the monster head is amazing."

The thrilling scene just now seemed to be right in front of him, if it hadn't been for Zi Yang to throw Su Rui away, the Overlord Newt might have knocked her to pieces.

"You saved my life again!" Su Rui said gratefully, looking at Zi Yang.

Zi Yang nodded blankly: "Well, let's put it on the account."

Lao Wang stretched his head and looked inside, and jumped into the hole.

"Be careful, I don't know if there is any mechanism inside." Su Rui reminded him.

The reckless old Wang only thought of the baby now, how could he hear Su Rui's words, and muttered: "This place has been thousands of years old, and all the institutions have been corrupted. I am afraid of a bird!"

As he was about to step forward, Zi Yang said coldly behind him: "It's okay, don't pull him, let him go in for us to walk in, and we will go in after he has stepped on all the mechanisms."

This sentence really worked. The old Wang shook his body, hesitantly backed away, turned around and looked at Zi Yang and said, "Do you kid use me as bait again? Did the monster chase me on purpose just now? "

Zi Yang was dazzled by his diving light, stretched out his hand to cover his face and said, "Idiot, don't look at me! Look inside!"

Lao Wang looked back at the hall. The hall looked very empty. The light of the diving lamp was rather dim, and it was dark to see what was inside.

Su Rui took out two head-mounted LED lithium battery miner's lamps from the waterproof bag and gave them to Zi Yang. One person put one on his head, then turned on two tactical LED flashlights and handed one to Lao Wang. Under the strong light, the structure inside the palace is unobstructed.

Lao Wang stared at the sky with wide eyes, and shouted in a long voice: "Fuck."

This tall and magnificent palace is 20 to 30 meters high. What is surprising is that there is a small and exquisite palace inside the palace. It is only relatively small, and there are more than ten small palaces inside. Meters high and twenty to thirty meters in diameter.

"What kind of architecture is this? It's a wicked one!" Lao Wang muttered.

Zi Yang thought for a while and said: "This should be a hall, built in the pattern of a tomb. The hall on the outside is equivalent to a coffin, and the small hall on the inside is equivalent to a coffin. The hall on the outside should protect the inner one. From the small hall."

Lao Wang tilted his neck and looked at the sky and said, "It's a waste of wood. There is no wind or rain here. What's the point of making such a heavy cover outside?"

Zi Yang glanced at him: "There may be a lot of snakes, insects and ghosts, but there is no wind or rain."

Lao Wang shrank his neck when he said, "Don't scare Lao Tzu at night!"

"The plaque above seems to have words!" Su Rui reminded.

The three people put the lights on directly above the small palace, and saw a one-meter square plaque above the palace, on which were written three powerful characters: Changsheng Palace!

"The Palace of Longevity..." Lao Wang muttered, "The owner here is quite straightforward. Why isn't he called the Palace of Longevity."

"There is something next to it!" Zi Yang swept around the hall with a light, and saw that there were some shrine-like buildings embedded on the inner wall of the hall, one every ten meters. The tablet inside seems to have words on it, but it's much smaller than the plaque on the main hall, and it's far apart, so it can't be seen clearly.

"Let's take a look!" Old Wang said eagerly. Just about to step forward, I stopped again, hesitated, picked up a piece of wood board that was broken by the Overlord's salamander from the ground, tied it with the safety rope he carried, tried the weight in his hand, and was triumphant. Di told Su Rui and Zi Yang: "Look at it! I'm called Tumu Asking for Directions!"

Lao Wang carried the rope around the plank a few times, yelled "Hi" and threw the plank far away.

The heavy plank rolled on the ground a few times. Everyone held their breath. After a while, seeing that there was nothing unusual, the old Wang pulled the plank back with a rope, and then threw it to several different positions. Nothing happened. occur.

Judging from the sound of the wooden planks hitting the ground, the ground is actually covered with wooden planks, only covered by a thick layer of dust.

"Fuck, if the whole palace is made of wood inside and outside, it would be enough to cut down a mountain, right?" Old Wang followed the wall and looked up, and everything he saw was thick and heavy. wood. The load-bearing pillars have a combined thickness.

"Qinhan Village is surrounded by dense virgin forests. It is very convenient to get materials from the spot. However, the entire palace is made of nanmu, which is exaggerated!" Su Rui stretched his feet and walked forward for a few steps, tiptoeing, feeling underneath. The board is unusually hard.

Everyone walked slowly along the root of the wall, and finally came to the first shrine. The shrine was also more than two meters high. The outside was meticulously carved. Inside stood a memorial tablet nearly two meters high. The top was engraved in regular script. The word "bathing" has a mottled color underneath. It can be imagined that some exquisite characters and patterns were painted on it, which was gradually eroded by the wind over the long years. Only the word "bath", the size of a fist, is left, and you can count on it.

"What do you mean? Is this a bathhouse?" Old Wang pouted and studied for a long time, and asked in confusion.

Zi Yang shook his head and continued to walk forward. About ten meters later, it was the same shrine again, except that this time the word "Crown Belt" was engraved on it.

Lao Wang touched his chin and nodded: "That's right, this is an ancient bathhouse. You can take a shower in the front, and then start dressing in the back. I don't need to look at the words on the next plaque to know what it is, it must be. 'Shoulder pinch'!"

The three of them continued to move forward, and what was engraved on the third rank was not "shoulder squeezing", but the word "professional official". Lao Wang took a breath and touched the back of his head, "This, this is not a routine!"

Without saying a word, Zi Yang moved forward. After the three tablets of "Bath", "Crest Belt" and "Lingguan", they were "Diwang", "Sad", "Sickness", "Death" and "Linguan" tablets. "Tomb", "Absolute", "Fetus" and "Raising" are ranked in eight blocks.

The entire palace is circular, with the same shrine every ten meters. It goes around in a circle and returns to the hole at the main entrance, exactly eleven words.

"Fuck, the first few cards are normal, at least a bit human! Why did it become more and more scary later? What kind of shabby hall?" The old Wang curled his neck and looked around, no longer the arrogance that was at the beginning. arrogance.

Zi Yang bowed his head and thought for a while and said, "This palace was built according to the pattern of Ziwei Doushu. The shrine enshrines the Twelve Gods of Longevity."

Lao Wang blinked: "Lao Li, did you have your head caught by the door? There were only eleven tablets just now!"

"Yes, the first and last god position is Changsheng!" Zi Yang raised his arm, pointed at the huge Changsheng Palace in front, and said solemnly:

"The Twelve Gods of Longevity are a group of stars in Ziwei Doushu, including twelve stars, also called the twelve houses.

Ziweidou uses twelve houses to represent a person's life, old age, sickness, and death, and the course of his life. It also contains a law of rebirth and rebirth.

The ancients believed that the five elements are parasitic in the twelfth house, and the process of each five elements from growth to death in twelve months is what we see: longevity, bathing, crested, prosperous, imperial prosperous, decay, disease, Death, tomb, extinction, fetus, raising.

In Ziweidoushu, the material world is equal to'qi', and'qi' is composed of'yin' and'yang', and yin and yang are divided into the five elements of wood, fire, earth, gold, and water, and the five elements extend out The "ten gods" representing people's good fortune, bad luck, bad luck, good fortune, bad luck, bad luck, good fortune, etc.

In ancient times, people believed that the world was made up of Yin and Yang and the five elements. They reproduced and restrained each other and circulated infinitely, forming the material world in which we live.

Ziwei Doushu uses yin and yang, five elements, ten gods and twelve houses to study the balance system between man and the universe. It emphasizes the unity of heaven, earth, man, matter, and material, which is called the unity of heaven and man. "

After Ting Ziyang introduced these, the old Wang was dumbfounded, and after a while, he said, "You mean these shrines next to them are the 12th house of longevity? Then why are the other eleven palaces the same size, and this longevity palace is unique. Is this big?"

Zi Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know, probably the owner who built this palace hopes that he can live forever and immortality without falling into reincarnation."

Lao Wang nodded, "I understand. The eleventh houses in front are all worthless wooden tablets. They are not as good as the doors of this longevity palace. It seems that this longevity palace is the most important, and there must be treasures hidden in it. Quite a lot!"

Zi Yang looked at Su Rui and said to Lao Wang, "The more important the place is, the more dangerous it is. Are you sure we just passed by with bare hands?"

Lao Wang shook the wooden plank in his hand. "Why are you afraid of danger? Can't we ask for directions? If you are afraid of death, hide behind me, and I will help you with any hidden weapons in front of you."

"Then you have to find a larger board." Su Rui said seriously.

Lao Wang looked at the wooden board in his hand, he could barely cover his stomach. If there were any flying crossbow mechanism, he was afraid that he would not be shot into a hedgehog.

"Wait a minute!" Lao Wang drew out his scimitar and ran out flying.

Zi Yang and Su Rui looked at each other, why is this guy crazy

Su Rui shook his head, turned to the god position for "nurturing" and carefully observed to see if he could find something in the mottled paint on it.

After a while, Pharaoh rushed back carrying a deck-like thing.

"I'm dizzy, did you go to eat shit?" Zi Yang said with his nose and frown, Lao Wang smelled like he had crawled out of a cesspit. Xun De Zi Yang retreated several steps.

The old Wang ostentatiously raised the huge shell in his hand, which seemed to be dripping with dark green juice. "This is the head shell of the Overlord Salamander. This guy can knock through a half-foot-thick wooden door to block it. There is no problem with hidden weapons, right?"

It turned out that Old Wang ran out just now to pry off the head of that Overlord Salamander.

Zi Yang looked at the huge skull bone that Lao Wang held in his hands. Don't even mention it, it's really a natural shield, but Lao Wang can't figure it out!

Su Rui looked at Lao Wang in surprise: "How did you get such a big skull bone?"

"You don't know this? We, Lao Wang, have killed pigs before, so Pao Ding Jie Niu and other things are a piece of cake in his eyes!" Zi Yang's words make people unable to tell whether they are satire or praise.

Lao Wang was silly and happy with his mouth wide open, and he didn't seem to mind the foul mucus on his hands at all.

Su Rui knocked on the skull with a scimitar, and the sharp blade only left a shallow white mark on it.

"The hardness and thickness are enough, bullets may not be able to penetrate."

"It's done, then let's set off now, brothers and sisters, follow my old Wang, rush!!!"

Lao Wang held a huge shield in front of him, and walked in front of him with one foot and one foot shallow. Su Rui and Zi Yang followed closely behind him, and the three slowly approached the main hall.

Two meters in front are the two closed doors of the Changsheng Palace.
