Chapter 315: Heavenly Palace Gatekeeper
Under Kasanna's prompting, Zhao Yili quickly found clues from the words on the tripod.
The normal tripod body is three-legged and two-eared, and this imitation of Yu Ding, judging from the appearance alone, can be regarded as a real ancient tripod casting method to create.
It's just the patterns and words on the inscription, but it's obviously not the real Yu Ding in order to consolidate his rule, and only collect the nine tripods made of Kyushu fine iron. Because it is too small, it is known as the national treasure of Dayu Jiuding, I am afraid that any one of them will have the scale of the gate of the Heavenly Palace, and it is definitely not the current 5 meters high and 4 meters wide.
Several strange-shaped beasts, as if enjoying the warmth of a full meal, raised their eyes to the sky, looking for something.
What can there be in heaven? Except that the sun and the moon are not stars?
So since it is not Yu Ding, why is it still engraved in the most eye-catching place "Yu Ding", the only two words that can be understood by Zhao Yili in a large number of weird patterns and words?
From the body of the two people in front of them, it is obvious that it depicts a picture of the stars and the sea.
Zhao Yili followed the direction of the Big Dipper found in the stars, along the straight line, on the inside of the ding lug on the left, and finally found an extremely inconspicuous place where the color was slightly different from the ding body, and pressed it.
Squeak.
Squeak.
Squeak.
Under the accompaniment of this extremely difficult and harsh sound, this Yu Ding opened from the middle to both sides with difficulty, as if there was no firewood that had not opened the door to welcome guests for thousands of years, and the harsh sound was unbearable, as if the door was opened, and copper filings were sprinkled on the ground.
Dingzhong only saw: one person, one table, three chairs, a pot of tea, and three tea cups.
The white-bearded old man who loomed at the entrance sat quietly on the tea table with a smile, quietly waiting for the two people who had come here easily.
Cut!
Cast a mist before somebody's eyes!
Zhao Yili glanced at Kashana and walked into the Dading with a wry smile.
"Do you think my old man is playing tricks, two little babies?" The old man didn't wait for the two of them to speak, and then opened his mouth with his eyebrows raised.
Kashana smiled straightforwardly, and casually handed over the token given to her by the master, this thing should be regarded as a token in this old man's place, but he didn't expect that the old man simply glanced at the token twice, but did not reach out to take it.
The two of them were full of puzzlement about this, but the old man poured tea for both of them, and after watching the two of them pick up the tea cup and take a sip, they said with a smile:
"Since you're here, don't leave in a hurry, I'm the gatekeeper here, how long has it been since someone last came to the Heavenly Palace with a token, I want to think about it?
Oh yes, it's been almost fifty years.
Little girl, your master should explain to you the purpose of coming here, so first of all, it is necessary to tell you about the world that you cannot see. ”
After speaking, he raised his hand to wipe it on the tea table, and the teapot did not move, but above the tea table, a three-dimensional picture was displayed on the tea table.
I saw that on this three-dimensional map, in addition to the seven continents and four oceans that everyone on the earth is familiar with, there are many more places covered by shadows, purely from the perspective of area, there is almost a place as big as Asia, the approximate location is in the south of the Davis Strait, in the Atlantic Ocean, but it does not seem to be fixed, because the projection is dynamic, it is easy to see that this place that has been shrouded in shadows is moving all the time.
Kashana is okay, because the island where she lives is a department-level building, although Zhao Yili has the advantage of rebirth, but even before rebirth, he has never seen the application of advanced technology with such a realistic stereoscopic projection effect, so he soon became interested in the Heavenly Palace.
"To be precise, I'm not the one you're looking for, drink some water from me and moisten your throat, Guardian, the person you're looking for already knows what you're looking for, and the moment you open the door, you're gone.
The task of being a gatekeeper is to test the candidates who have come here, and only after passing the test here can you be qualified to challenge the task of becoming a guardian, are you ready? ”
Test?
"Didn't we just come here to deliver the message, could it be that your master, there is still a hidden mission that you haven't told you?" Zhao Yili was puzzled by this, so he opened his mouth and asked Kasanna.
Kashana was also confused, it was obvious that the master did not intend to tell herself about this matter.
The old man didn't talk nonsense, and soon said something to the two that shocked the two of them, completely subverting the one, two, and three views of the two people, and their perception of the world.
"The world as you saw it before is not complete. In fact, what you see on this picture is the real complete world, but a large part of it is difficult to see now. Of course, this is not the point you want to understand today, the point I want to say is that the world you are in, there have been several huge crises in history, and it is the seven guardians who have resolved these huge crises again and again, but now, except for the two guardians who are still barely performing their duties, the remaining five guardians are all lost in this disappearing continent, and this continent has disappeared to the world, although it cannot be regarded as absolutely closed, and a single page cannot be entered in a normal way. And the two former guardians also consumed too much strength, and they were too strong for the current world. ”
Zhao Yili suddenly thought of something, took over the conversation and asked:
"Our world? Old man, do you mean that you are not from our world? ”
"Oh, hehehe, that's a good question, to be exact, I'm not human."
Hearing this, Kashana was stunned at first, looked at the old man, and then at Zhao Yili, and immediately jumped up after relieving herself, ran behind Zhao Yili, firmly grabbed one of his arms, and looked the old man up and down carefully with some horror, her face was full of strange expressions, for fear that this old guy would jump up and bite people if he was in a hurry.
The old man was not at all surprised by Kasanna's sudden action, and said unhurriedly:
"This little girl, hehe, don't be afraid, I didn't say I was a ghost"
"Then how do you say you can't count as a human?" Although Kazana has experienced a lot of battles, she is still a girl who is still not deeply involved in the world, and she is naturally afraid of these suspicious and terrifying things.
"For you, I'm just an energy body, and my power can't get out of this heavenly palace, although for me, the lifespan is almost unlimited, but who doesn't want to be a normal person?
Endless life, naturally there is endless sorrow, I am used to seeing too many joys and sorrows, life and death, my biggest wish now, in fact, is to complete the mission and enter reincarnation.
So, in fact, my fate rests on you, the candidate Guardians. ”
As he spoke, the old man changed several forms in a row, humans, animals, machines, men, women, adults, children, and so on.
With such a large amount of information in such a short period of time, the two of them fell into an information processing crash again, and some of them couldn't turn around.
