Chapter 276: Convening (Medium)
In the underground of the ancient city of Xijing, there is a huge imperial mausoleum, which is rumored to be the tomb of the first emperor in ancient Z country, and its huge scale and rich funerary objects rank first among the tombs of emperors in previous dynasties. It is also the first large-scale and well-designed imperial cemetery in the history of country Z.
The Imperial Tomb is built with two rammed earth walls inside and outside, symbolizing the imperial city and the palace city of the capital. The mausoleum mound is located in the south of the inner city, in the shape of a covered bucket, according to historical records, there are also various palaces built in the imperial tomb, displaying many strange treasures. There are a large number of burial pits and tombs with different shapes and connotations around the mausoleum, and there are more than 400 of them. However, due to the limitations of various factors, the government of country Z has not been able to carry out a comprehensive excavation of this huge imperial tomb.
The government was in the mindset of protecting cultural relics and did not force excavations, but for the tomb robbers of all dynasties, it was a paradise full of wealth.
However, the anti-theft system of this imperial tomb is truly unique, and countless people have been killed in front of this ancient tomb for thousands of years, but no one has ever been able to truly touch the true wealth of this treasure.
Of course, this is not to say that no one has ever been able to enter the depths of the Imperial Tomb, because not everyone has come to attack the idea of this Imperial Tomb for the gold and silver treasures.
At this moment, the road that Shen Hao and Mo Sheng Gu set foot on is one of the many labyrinthine roads inside the imperial tomb. The cave was hidden under a hundred-ton boulder, and the terrain of the boulder was destined to be inaccessible to large engineering equipment, so no ordinary human would discover this particular passage.
The underground corridors extend in all directions, and it is unknown what principle is used in this huge tomb, and every certain time it passes, the arrangement of several corridors inside will change irregularly, so that even if someone can avoid the many mechanisms on the periphery of the tomb, they will be trapped alive in this maze of activities.
However, Shen Hao didn't have this worry, he was confident about the way to enter this passage, the reason was naturally that he had been here decades ago, and he also believed that the person who led him into this place in the first place must be hiding in the depths of this ancient tomb at this moment.
Mo Shenggu's mood was not as calm as Shen Hao's, it was the first time he entered here, the magical architectural structure here made him breathtaking, fortunately, Shen Hao also led the way, otherwise even if he knew the exit of the thief cave, it was very likely that he would not even be able to pass through the series of mechanisms on the periphery. After all, the white bones along the way have proved like him that this seemingly lonely underground depths are actually killing every step of the way.
After slowly marching for more than an hour according to the special law of progress, Shen Hao and the two finally walked in front of a stone door. This stone gate is actually a kind of broken dragon stone-like existence, and there is no special mechanism that can be opened, but such a structure can only block ordinary humans, and there is not much difficulty for Shen Hao and their inhuman existence.
There are two inconspicuous grooves under the stone door, which can be seen as artificially excavated in the later period, which is the back door left by Zhao Yin, the old hall master of Zhenwutang who has lived here for a long time.
Shen Hao took two steps forward, bent down and buckled his hands into the grooves, and exerted force at the same time with his arms and waist and legs, only to see that the heavy stone door made a piercing friction sound, and it was actually lifted up inch by inch.
The dust of the big puffy years came to his face, Mo Shenggu couldn't help coughing twice, and several strong winds blew out of his palm to blow away the dust. When he looked at it again, Shen Hao had already held the huge stone gate high above his head, glanced back at him, and said indifferently: "Go in." ”
The two entered one after another, and the stone gate slammed to the ground behind them, and the echo vibrated endlessly, but neither of them cared. Behind the stone gate is a huge stone room, which is said to be a stone room, but it can actually be described as a large hall. Although it is underground, it is still built majestically, and hundreds of permanent lights around it illuminate this huge space. The main hall is more than ten meters high, east and west are long, north and south are wide, and the area is not less than 2,000 square meters. There are pillars in the hall, carving dragons and carving phoenixes, and hundreds of civil and military officials of clay sculptures on both sides stand with their hands tied. There is a white marble platform in the north of the middle of the main hall, and there are seven layers of steps on the front and both sides of the jade platform, which leads directly to the platform. On the platform is the throne of Jinluan, on which a figure dressed as an emperor sits upright.
Although the dust accumulated over the years has obscured the purple gold flat crown on the emperor's portrait and the gorgeous dragon robe, this statue just sits there, but still maintains an unparalleled power that swallows mountains and rivers and dominates the world.
Shen Hao exhaled softly and walked towards the center of the main hall with Mo Sheng Gu as he walked. Walking through the two golden gourds crossed by the two guard statues, slowly moving forward in the hall where the statues of the ministers on both sides were standing, the sound of footsteps was particularly clear in the empty hall, Mo Shenggu involuntarily shifted his gaze to the statues of the ministers on both sides, and the illusion made him feel that these lifeless clay statues were always projecting vision on himself.
Shen Hao walked to the center of the main hall, and stopped less than a hundred steps away from the throne of Jinluan, he arched his hands and saluted slightly towards the imperial statue on the throne: "Senior Shen Hao, I have seen Senior Zhao!" ”
Shen Hao's voice was not loud, but it was extremely loud in this empty hall, and the echo reverberated back and forth through the nearby statues and the surrounding temple walls, and there was actually a feeling of slight pain in the eardrums.
The sound waves shook, and the dust and mud of the emperor statue on the throne shook off, revealing the true face of the emperor. Only then did Mo Shenggu realize that this imperial statue was not made of clay like the surrounding civil and military ministers, but a living middle-aged man, and at this time, he had opened his eyes and looked at the two people below the stairs like electricity. Mo Shenggu's body shook slightly, and he had already recognized that this person was actually the previous generation of hall masters of the True Martial Arts Hall who had not heard from him for decades - Zhao Yin.
"No courtesy." Zhao Yin opened his mouth slightly and spit out two words, his voice was hoarse and ugly, as if he hadn't spoken for many years. He first moved his neck and shoulders slightly, and the sound of "Gregrad" rubbing between the muscles and bones in his body sounded, and then he stood up with some difficulty holding on to an equally dusty stick in front of him.
Shen Hao didn't speak, just stood quietly in place and looked at Zhao Yin who got up opposite, but Mo Shenggu on the side couldn't stand so stupidly, he took a step forward, bent down and saluted and shouted: "Hall Master." Then he strode forward and stretched out his hand to help Zhao Yin.
"No, you don't." Zhao Yin waved his hand casually, and an invisible strong wind made Mo Shenggu's body that had just stepped on the steps freeze in place, and then he twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a rather unnatural smile and said: "You don't need to help me, it's just that the meditation time is too long, and the joints of this body are about to rust......"
"I wonder if Senior Zhao's sword is also rusty?" Shen Hao suddenly opened his mouth and smiled.
Zhao Yin's eyes suddenly froze, his eyes like cold stars stared at Shen Hao, and after a long time, he smiled, and flicked his finger lightly on the stick that was covered by ashes on his armrest just now: "What?" Do you want to borrow a sword? ”
"Bell!" With a crisp sound, the erect "stick" shook suddenly, and the dust dispersed, but a cold light flew out of the air from the gray mist, shooting straight towards Shen Hao below.
Shen Hao smiled faintly, his body remained in place, and he only used one left hand to scribble in the air, and there was immediately a three-foot long sword with a simple shape but sharp edge in his hand.
"Good sword." Although it was not the first time he had seen it, every time he held this sword in his hand, Shen Hao would sigh from the bottom of his heart. The total length of this sword is three feet eight inches, the sword body is covered with dragon-shaped dark lines, and the purple gold hilt is cast with four seal characters of "ordered by the sky". The blade is not straight, the back bone is clear into a line of edge, its widest is about half a foot away from the sword handle, and then in an arc adduction, until the sword edge is convex again and then converging into a sharp edge, the body is blue, giving people a feeling of cold as ice and snow, and the sharp feeling that the hair can be broken.
"There is growth! It looks like you've finally stepped this far. Zhao Yin's eyes lit up, Shen Hao's action of receiving the sword seemed simple, but his sword just now was deliberately elegant, if it was Mo Shenggu on the steps who received the sword, it would definitely be embarrassing. But Shen Hao did it easily and naturally, lifting weights like light, obviously his strength was already standing above himself.
"Break through by luck, and specially come to invite the seniors out of the customs!" Shen Hao smiled, grabbed a sword flower casually, and threw the sword in his hand back to Zhao Yin, who had already walked to Mo Shenggu's side. Zhao Yin stretched out his hand to take the sword, only to see that the moment his hand grasped the hilt of the sword, the sword seemed to come to life suddenly, and a smart breath blended with Zhao Yin like a milk, such a magical feeling was completely unexperienced when it fell into Shen Hao's hands just now.
"Please get me out of customs? So is there going to be a decisive battle again? Zhao Yin's fingers lightly brushed the sword body, and the sword let out a sword groan full of joy, "How sure are you this time?" Our human strength can no longer afford to fail again......"
"Fifty percent." Shen Hao smiled, stretched out a hand and made a gesture of wanting to support Zhao Yin, "This time we have found the key to solving the matter, fifty percent of us have the chance of dying in battle, and the certainty of completely solving the problem of the demon should be eighty percent ......"
"Good!" Zhao Yin laughed and grabbed Shen Hao's arm, the sword in his right hand shook, and the hilt left on the stone platform in the distance automatically flew over, and it was exactly on the sword body.
"Xiao Mo, how many kings and masters have been accumulated in the hall over the years, all of them have been mobilized, raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, at this moment of the decisive battle, the old man has been waiting for a long time!" Zhao Yin put away his sword and happily patted Mo Shenggu's shoulder with his big hand.
"This ......" Mo Shenggu's face fell, he glanced at Shen Hao, shook his head a little helplessly, and sighed, "Old hall master, it's hard to say a word......
......
Towering Kunlun, the top of the snow peak.
A delicate figure wrapped in a black robe was climbing up step by step on knee-deep snow. She was fast-moving, and the oncoming blizzard didn't seem to pose much of a threat to her, except for her long hair to occasionally fly out of her hood and whip at the snow particles that tried to get close to her.
"Arrived, ah......" Standing on a cliff, she lowered her hood, revealing a peerless face that captivated the country and the city. Although the visibility in the wind and snow was extremely low, she could still be seen, not far in front of her, in the middle of the three independent snow peaks arranged in a zigzag pattern, a large number of palaces made of white rocks with the main structure of the palace coiled in between, with cornices and walls, white walls and white tiles, perfectly matched with this ice and snow Jedi.
And on the huge stone tablet as a mountain gate, three big characters are engraved with ancient seal books - Ten Thousand Immortal Palace!
