Chapter 284: Xuanding Heavenly Palace
However, it was said that at this time, everyone in the "Jianghu" hall looked at Gu Xing and Leng Wanzhang's somewhat self-deprecating expressions, and they were all at a loss.
Just now, the two of them took the lead in entering the "Jianghu" hall, but they didn't see Kuma who fled into this hall. So the two went their separate ways to search, and finally when everyone entered, they found nothing. What's even more incredible is that there is a closed space in this hall, and all sides are tightly sealed and impermeable. Only the door of the temple can be entered and exited.
Just when everyone was at a loss, the door of the temple began to slowly close, as if someone was manipulating. Feng Zhengyang was the last to walk into the temple door, and when he heard a strange noise behind him, he immediately turned around to check what was going on, but saw that the door was slowly closing.
Feng Zhengyang immediately stepped forward to freeze the temple gate, wanting to stop it, but it was in vain to try his best to do his best. Waiting for Gu Xing and the others to come closer, there was already a bang, and then candles instantly lit up around the hall, illuminating the entire hall.
At this time, everyone saw that on the walls around the main hall, there were also murals carved one after another, and the content of the murals began from the beginning of the horse treading rivers and lakes, and slowly became more and more bloody, as if describing the changes of the entire post-Tang rivers and lakes. Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the turbulent times have been in the smoke, the heroes have risen together, the temples have fallen apart, and the rivers and lakes have naturally been difficult to escape.
People with lofty ideals naturally rise up, or rely on forces, but there are also some Jianghu sects who choose to protect themselves.
But in this troubled world, An can tolerate you like this, and a group of ambitious people began the "vertical and horizontal" of the chaotic times at the end of the Tang Dynasty. In this way, the rivers and lakes were turbulent, and there were even bloodstained rivers and lakes in Guxiao Villa, which gradually formed a military group headed by Liang in the future.
Then Li Cunqiao was born, inheriting the military power of his late father Li Ke, destroying Houliang in one fell swoop, and winning the Houtang River.
But after all, the Later Tang Dynasty can only impose the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty, not inheritance or continuation, and there is always something unjustifiable in the eyes of other forces. Hou Zhou and Yi Chu's impatience also made this kind of rivers and lakes precarious.
This is the content of the first three murals, until the fourth mural, there is a woman fighting with a sword, and she is followed by five knights, all the way from north to south, until Mobei does not go forward. It's just that the woman's face was not named, only blank, as if she was worried that someone would guess her identity and did it deliberately.
Even the five people next to the woman were replaced by "birth, dan, purity, end, and ugliness", which did not outline the geometry of their appearance. But Gu Xing had clearly guessed that the eight murals on the left and right were the scene of his aunt fighting with swords. It's just that for some reason, it was placed here, or it was Li Cunqiao's doing. But what is Li Cunmiao doing this for?
Everyone looked at these murals one by one, and they were all confused. However, Gu Xing and Shenzun fell into deep thought, as if they had realized. When I saw the eighth mural, the woman in the picture jumped high from the back of her horse and leaped towards the sky, as if she was about to leave this troubled world.
And the five people around her, except for the person who led the person who was indifferent, the other four people all straightened their arms and wanted to leave the woman behind.
But the woman's face was only staring at the indifferent man, and the man just silently stared at the woman who was about to float into the sky, and still did not say anything.
The content of the mural came to an abrupt end here, and the expected answer was not presented, but left a lot of messes.
At this time, the candle flame in the hall became darker and darker, and it seemed that the air in the middle of it was getting thinner and thinner. Ling Ling was the first to notice this abnormality, and hurriedly said, "Take a special look around to see if you can find a way out." ”
Everyone nodded when they heard this, and if they didn't work together at this time, there was only a dead end.
However, the other two were still staring at the mural and refused to move away, and the Hades looked at the last mural on the inner wall on the left, thoughtful. It seems that at this moment he is resonating with one of the people in the mural and has some understanding.
The person on the other side who stared at the mural and never moved away was Gu Xing, and he stared at the last mural, as if he wanted to see something mysterious from it.
The strange behavior of these two people was naturally seen by Feng Zhengyang and Lingling, one was scheming and the other was eccentric, both of whom were extraordinary. It's just that Feng Zhengyang didn't come forward to ask, but pretended to investigate, and glanced at it intentionally or unintentionally, and Ling Ling quietly walked behind Gu Xing, patted him on the shoulder, and asked softly, "But what did you see?" ”
Gu Xing was frightened enough by this sudden surprise, and when he turned to see Ling Ling, he could only shake his head helplessly. Immediately stopped figuring out the mural, turned around and walked straight to the bottom of the dragon pillar, and looked up.
This "Jianghu" hall is significantly different from the two palaces when it came, except for a giant pillar of the dragon in the middle, there are no other inner pillars. Moreover, the layout of the hall here is extremely simple, and even a little too perfunctory, and the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes is very strong. It must be not worth mentioning with the elegance of the ordinary palace.
What's even more peculiar is that on the inner walls on both sides of the mural, there are eighteen kinds of weapons hanging, and there are two rows of weapon racks under the inner wall, which are placed on the outer door weapons that cannot be named.
This kind of arrangement seems to show that the "rivers and lakes" here are extraordinary.
Everyone looked around and felt a little dizzy, perhaps because the air was getting thinner and thinner, and the blood was surging due to anxiety, so it was so unbearable.
Gu Xing had been looking under the dragon pillar for a long time, and Ling Ling was also waiting patiently on the side, without saying a word. Leng Wanzhang trotted over and asked weakly, "Brother Gu, can you find a way to crack it?" ”
Gu Xing didn't pay attention to it, but Ling Ling rolled his eyes at Leng Wanzhang, which frightened the latter a little frightened.
When everyone gradually gathered around, Gu Xingcai clenched his left hand and slammed it on his right hand, looking like he suddenly realized, and muttered to himself: "I see." ”
Leng Wanzhang hurriedly asked eagerly, "Did you really find a way to crack it?" ”
Gu Xing nodded with a smile, pointed to the dragon head on the giant pillar of the dragon and said, "You can see that the royal dragons throughout the ages have all given birth to five claws, entering the sea of clouds, churning and looming. But the dragon on the dragon pillar in this hall has only four claws, surrounded by a sea of clouds, and looks up with its head up, as if it wants to go straight to the sky. ”
Leng Wanzhang didn't seem to understand when he heard it, so he asked again: "What is the meaning of this?" ”
The wind on the side jumped out, and after knocking a "chestnut" on Leng Wanzhang's head, he said: "Jiaolong has four claws, and Panlong has five claws. Do you understand? ”
Leng Wanzhang could only nod stiffly when he heard this, although he still heard it in a fog, but he didn't dare to blurt it out like this.
Ling Ling took a step forward and added, "If this is the case, then you want me to wait for me to go up this dragon pillar and turn into a dragon in the wind?" ”
Gu Xing nodded yes, and then continued: "This dragon turns into a dragon, it is against the sky, if you can't do it, you can only end up with a dead body." But at this point, we have no way back, we can only try. ”
After Gu Xing finished speaking, he was about to go up the Panlong Giant Pillar, but was stopped by the Immortal Venerable who raised his hand, "You can't take risks, I remembered some past events, and it is inconvenient to say at this time, so I will take this experience." ”
Gu Xing could only retreat, although he didn't know what the Hades Venerable was talking about, but he was afraid that the first person to go up would encounter unpredictable dangers, so he didn't force it anymore and stepped aside.
At this time, the flame of the candle flame in the inner sanctum became smaller and smaller, and it seemed that it could be extinguished at any time. Everyone saw all this, and it seemed that there was not much time left for them.
Hades took a step back and jumped on the spot, grabbed the scales on the back of the dragon and rushed up, thinking that the giant pillar of the dragon was only dozens of zhang high, as the Hades continued to go up, it was also constantly "growing". Seeing this, Gu Xing did not continue to hesitate, and also jumped up on the spot, came to another place, and pointed his two fingers on a scale armor.
After this hand, the dragon around the giant pillar no longer "grows", and the giant pillar also returns to its original state. Gu Xing saw that this method worked, so he said to everyone: "Calm your heart, follow this method, and you can soar to the clouds." ”
The Immortal Venerable comprehended, and jumped up again, and sure enough, after pointing at the scales, the situation just now no longer appeared. The two of them came to the zenith of the inner temple one after the other, and the Hades pushed it up with one palm, but they didn't immediately smash the roof, and they didn't know what hindrance.
Seeing this, Gu Xing took out his short knife and slashed at the ceiling of the inner temple, but he didn't even leave a single knife mark. At this time, I am in a dilemma, and I can't advance or retreat. The expressions of the people under the giant pillar became more and more anxious, and the faces of the people gradually turned pale due to the consumption of air.
The Immortal Venerable pushed his palm again, but he still failed to make a contribution, but the inner wall zenith shook slightly. Gu Xing looked around, looking for clues in the hall again, and suddenly had an idea, reached out and grabbed a piece of dragon scales nearby, and held it in his hand.
Under the incomprehensible and expectant gaze of everyone, Gu Xing held the dragon scales in his hand and smashed them towards the zenith, which was originally a rock-solid zenith, but it was like a tofu block and was instantly cut out of a big hole by the dragon scales. Seeing that this worked, the Immortal Venerable also grabbed the dragon scales and smashed them at the zenith, and after a while, a large hole appeared above the heads of the two of them that could be passed through by one person.
The Immortal Venerable was the first to jump out of the hole, and after some investigation, he did not threaten it, and then he said, "This place is safe and feasible." Immediately, Gu Xing also drilled up, and saw a straight ladder leading to a palace at the top. Even in the night, this palace emits a dazzling purple light, but in the city, he did not notice it, and it seems that some special secret method was used to cover it.
On either side of the ladder on this roof, there stood two rows of armored soldiers with swords, ignoring them as if they were dead creatures.
The Immortal Venerable tentatively approached and took a closer look, but he didn't see any problems, but this group of armored soldiers was here, and it was by no means as simple as decoration. When everyone stepped on the zenith of the "Jianghu" hall, they were shocked by what they saw in front of them, in addition to the two rows of armored soldiers who were like dead things, the vast sea of clouds on both sides of the ladder was churning, even in the dark night, there was a unique scene.
And when they saw the splendid main hall, they were even more amazed by the ingenuity of this Luoyang Palace in the Later Tang Dynasty......
But Immortal Venerable and Gu Xing were full of doubts in their hearts, if the last mural happened to be connected here, then all this unknown would be waiting for them to explore by themselves. And the immeasurable city of Kuma, which had disappeared, was watching them from a dark place at this time, staring at them......
