The roof of the cloister is also made of bluestone, but the painting on it is no longer a strange pattern, but the Big Dipper! Each star is connected to each other, and the relief carved in the shape of a spoon is reflected overhead, and layers of small stone steps are carved out of the periphery of the Big Dipper like a Bagua Array, gradually increasing from the inside to the outside.

The two corridors look so similar, whether it is the size of the bluestone or the carving, without looking at the location of the stone chamber, it is absolutely impossible to distinguish the difference between the two corridors by relying only on the naked eye. The most important thing is that such a corridor is not only these two, you can see it when you stand at the door of the stone room, there are three forks not far from the corridor, and each fork represents an extremely similar corridor! The promenade sets the promenade, and the fork in the road connects the fork in the road! It seems that Sanzang's previous worries are not unreasonable, just looking at these in front of him, it is already a little dazzling, if he leaves a little farther away and turns more places, I am afraid that he will really get lost in these corridors, facing the unknown and powerful creatures that wandered in the corridors before, and he will never be able to return to the stone room!

After thinking about it, he reached into his pocket, took out two charms that looked very similar, and sighed in his heart, "Fortunately, I am fully prepared!" "Pinch the trick with both hands, hold the rune paper between the finger sword, step on the seven-star step on the foot, and have words in the mouth, "The son and the mother are double-run, please connect the heart of the son and mother, lead the dark line, the blessing of the adjacent words, the traction of the words, and the supreme!" Haste as a law, up! ”

Soon, one of the runes burned up, and almost instantly turned into wisps of green smoke, gradually converging in front of the door of the stone chamber in the direction of my sword. The green smoke was entangled with each other, gathering into an image of runes, and finally imprinted directly on the door of the stone chamber. After a moment, it quickly vanished, as if nothing had been there. He put away his sword. Put the remaining talisman in his hand into his pocket, and then turned to look at Sanzang.

"Brother Shuzi. What kind of charm did you just make? ”

"The mother and son talismans, when the talismans were first drawn, the talisman used was the blood of the two black dogs, and the two black dogs must be mother and son! Take blood from a female dog to draw the mother charm, and take blood from the puppy to draw the child charm. The runes can be used to amplify this mother-child induction to the greatest extent! As long as the child talisman is used, the talisman is branded on the door of the stone chamber, no matter how far we go out, as long as we hold the mother talisman, we can rely on the special induction between the two talismans. It is very accurate to know the position of the subcharacter. Naturally, you can find it back! ”

"Then the guiding bird that I used before can also be used, do you want to go in and cut a piece of wood on top of the wooden box and come out? When the time comes, you will also be prepared! Sanzang listened to the purpose of the Zimu talisman, and suddenly remembered the guiding spirit bird that used to be very convenient.

"Originally, I thought about it, but then I thought about it again, and I forgot it. The uncertainty of the guiding spirit bird is too strong, whether it can find it here is still two words, and the most important thing is that once the spirit bird appears, it will not stop, it will only keep flying. If we need to dodge on the road until we find our target, it's easy to lose it, and then we really won't find anything! And now we are in such a place, flying everywhere with a spirit bird. It's too ostentatious, if you attract something unnecessary to follow, then there's no place to cry! Compare. It's still the most appropriate to use this talisman, anyway, the stone gate is here. It won't move! ”

His mouth was explaining Sanzang's doubts, and his hands were not resting. I opened my backpack and rummaged through it, and soon I had a tightly wrapped brown paper bag in my hand. I put my backpack back on my back, walked over and pushed the stone door back shut, and looked at it carefully, well, very satisfied, as if it had never been opened!

Only then did I think of stepping aside to study the bluestone palace lamp on the wall. The appearance looks like a small cornicement pavilion, very fine, the soft light emanates from the inside, after getting closer, but there is not even a trace of the heat that I thought I had, I can only feel the cold air emanating from the light, straight to the bottom of people's hearts!

The reason why the beast lantern I saw in the ancestral hall of the ancient family that day lit up by itself when we went upstairs was because the entry of Sanzang and I touched the Twelve Palaces Combination Array. The twelve beast lamps were originally the heart of the formation, relying on Xiao Wei's demonic energy to maintain it, and absorbing the external aura to feed back to Xiao Wei. The two of us activated the formation, and it attracted Xiao Wei's attention, and it was inevitable that the beast lamp would turn on.

It's just that the palace lamp on the stone wall now is not the heart of any formation, so naturally there is no constant energy to supply it to shine. Sanzang compares the voice-activated lamp with this lamp, but in fact, when there is no sound, this lamp is also on. I tried to walk to the right, and with a "bang", another palace lamp lit up, which seemed to be more similar to today's sensor lights, and I was very surprised.

In the past, I had only heard of the legend of the ever-bright lamp, and it was recorded in China very early, and the "Records of the First Emperor of Qin" wrote: The first emperor ascended the throne at the beginning of the year, wore the Lishan Mountain, and merged the world, and the world sent more than 700,000 people, wore three springs, and made a coffin under the copper, and the palace was full of strange and strange artifacts of the palace. With mermaid paste as a candle, the one who will not be extinguished will last for a long time. Use "mermaid paste" as a candle to keep it out for a long time. If so, the mausoleum of the first emperor is also brightly lit all year round, so it is not lively. Some literature has different views on the specific formula ingredients of "mermaid paste". "Taiping Yulan, Fire Department III, Lamp" quotes the cloud of "Three Qin Records": "In the tomb of the first emperor, whale paste is burned as a lamp."

Not only in China, but also in other countries, the Eastern Roman Empire in 527 A.D. found an ever-bright lamp in a temple in present-day Syria, according to the inscription in the temple, this lamp palm was lit in 27 A.D., that is, it was lit for 500 years, comparable to the span of the Great Sage under the Five Elements Mountain. Later, in 1534, King Henry VIII discovered the tomb of the father of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great in the basement of a church in present-day Yorkshire, with a lamp still burning. And Constantine's father died in 300 AD, so the lamp has been strong for more than 1,200 years, which is even more durable.

Nowadays, the production method of the ever-bright lantern has long been lost, even if it has been circulated for a long time in various ancient sects and factions, and there are only a few words in the ancient books with complete records, and there is no other more introduction. The main reason is that the merman, who provides the main fuel for the ever-bright lantern, has not been alive for thousands of years. The merman is one of the ancient xenospecies, and now it is very likely that it is extinct!

Everbright lanterns are already so precious, and now the value of these unheard-of palace lamps is even more rare! (To be continued.) )
