Chapter 3: Before the Star Temple

A huge underground palace, huge in scale and magnificent, shining in the light, like a masterpiece. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info。

"I can't imagine that there is such a huge underground building under the ground of Xindu."

"There's more to it than you can think of."

Junyihe, who was walking in front, was not surprised by my reaction, or rather, he was already surprised by this magnificent ancient palace.

"This palace is the main building in this basement, called the underground palace, and the building behind the underground palace is the Yongshou Palace, which used to be the emperor's resting place."

"It turned out to be the mausoleum of an ancient emperor, no wonder it's so big." It dawned on me, "Where are we going?" ”

Although Junyihe explained to me quite patiently, he left the big road and did not take the small road. As for the underground palace longevity palace and the like in his mouth, we are going farther and farther.

"We didn't come here for tourism in the first place, the destination of our trip is the Star Temple."

"Star Temple? Isn't the Star Hall in this underground palace? ”

Looking at the dense buildings in the underground palace on the side, I couldn't help but ask.

But Junyihe suddenly turned his head and looked at me with interest:

"Star Temple, you know what it does just by hearing the name, right?!"

"Could it be...... Stargazing? I guessed.

"That's right, didn't the ancients like to do the most thing to do at night to watch the sky? They believed that the development of everything could be seen in the stars, so they built a tall building to observe the celestial phenomena, called the Stargazing Tower, and the Star Hall was one of them. ”

"So what are we doing here? There wouldn't be any idiot who would build a stargazing tower underground, right?! ”

"You guessed it right." Jun Yihe's answer was unexpected, "There is indeed an idiot emperor who wants to look at the stars in the coffin after death. ”

“……”

"However, the meaning of the existence of the Star Hall is not for this idiot emperor to daydream, it has a more important meaning."

"Could it be that the piece of jade you said is enshrined in the Star Temple?"

"That's right!" Junyihe's eyes were full of appreciation, "The reaction was quite fast, but you still said something wrong." ”

"Huh?"

"It's not the Star Hall that enshrines this piece of jade, but the piece of jade, which supports the entire underground space!"

As Jun Yihe spoke, I carefully looked at the structure of this underground space, and then connected with the little physical knowledge in my brain.

Then I discovered the terrible fact that there was not a single pillar in this underground structure within a radius of several kilometers!

There are no pillars!

An underground space dug out by man, standing for hundreds of years. And what's even more frustrating is that people's construction engineering technology doesn't need pillars!

"How?"

"It's easy to say, our building experts have done research on this place, specifically the ceiling of this underground construction project, and it turned out that the upper layer of the space is as hard as cement."

"Cement?"

"A strong inter-material attraction allows the soil particles to be directly and tightly packed, and the density is even comparable to that of metal."

“…… From this point on, I don't understand it anymore. ”

"Well, I almost forgot that you just became a high school student."

Suddenly thinking of the crux of the problem, Junyihe had no choice but to give up the in-depth explanation and take the lead to continue.

"If you go further, the ground will be raised, and that is where the 'mountain' of this tomb is located, and the star temple is on the 'mountain'."

……

So what?

I suddenly didn't know how to evaluate this building that was praised by Junyi and the sky.

Carved out of stone, it is towering and devoid of the splendor of royal objects.

It looks like it's made of ordinary stones, and I can't see how terrible it is.

"This is the Star Temple?"

I stared wide-eyed at what I was expecting to see.

Wait, is this really a "temple"? This structure, this shape, which Chinese teacher who called it the "temple" had to kill him.

This is a tower after all!

"Yes, but I didn't choose the name."

Junyihe did not hesitate to say that this naming had nothing to do with him at all.

And at this time, I suddenly thought of the ancient Chinese tradition, yes, the idiom called flashy makes many things from complex to simple, especially the manufacture of weapons, such as swords, the standard of judgment is only sharp, and I can't wait to split people in half with a single sword.

And since this tower can stand in the emperor's tomb, it naturally has unique features, such as......

Could it be that this tower once pressed the White Lady underneath? Waiting, it seems to be far away again.

In short, there is definitely something wrong with the general shape of this tower!

"There's no need to tangle, the door is there, you just go in."

"Huh? Aren't you going in? ”

I couldn't help but look at Jun Yihe in surprise, this guy sent me here all the way, but when I got to the gate of the tower, he directly let me go in by myself.

"No, the only people who can enter here are the living, living people like you." Junyihe smiled a little weirdly, "I said, I'm dead." ”

"Well, there's no need to make such a joke at this time, right? In case there is a trap or something in the tower, it would be nice to have an old driver lead the way. ”

"I never lie."

Jun Yihe's only response to my suspicion was to shrug his shoulders, then slowly unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his body under his clothes.

It was a thin, thin body with terrifying strength.

It's just that for some reason, his skin is black and red, as if it's starting to fester.

And his left breast, where it used to belong to the heart, was a huge metal device that stood out and instantly captured my full attention.

It was a device that was beating and was running instead of the heart.

"Two years ago, my life came to an end because my potential was exhausted."

"But I've survived, even though I've embraced death."

"It's just that this tower, I can't go into it again, because the piece of jade in the tower is the key to liberating the potential of our clan. And once I enter the way I am now, there is no guarantee that I will come out alive. ”

"So, good luck, descendants of the Lin family."
