Chapter 18: My Son (1)
"You ......"
"What am I? Do you find my words difficult to understand? Young man, let's wait for you to come in and talk! ”
"......" Hearing what the old voice said, Shi Cheng looked at the open hall door suspiciously, and finally decided to go in.
The palace is huge. However, now Shi Cheng feels that in addition to the fact that there are a little more doors, the Night Pearl must have been very worthless when this palace was built at that time. It can be said that this palace is basically no different from any ancient palace in Shi Cheng's consciousness.
After entering the palace, the first thing Shi Cheng saw was an incomparably mighty statue wearing armor with a stern face and looking down at the direction of the temple gate with his hands on a high platform more than one meter high on the front of the temple wall opposite. Below the high platform where the statue sits, a carved stone path more than ten meters wide extends from the bottom of the high platform to the front of the temple. On both sides of the carved stone road, every dozen meters, there is a pair of coiled dragon pillars extending from the ground to the top of the main hall. And on the two temple walls dozens of meters away from these coiling dragon pillars, in the middle of each of the two coiling dragon pillars, there is a yellow door more than three meters high and two meters wide, which seems to be made of brass. The reason why Shi Cheng was not sure that those doors were brass doors was because those doors were still as good as new, and there was no patina on the façade at all. Of course, these doors may or may not be made of gold.
As for the top of the entire hall, it was embedded with a fist-sized night pearl that exuded a milky white halo. And this is also what interests Shi Cheng. Shi Cheng believed that as long as he took down those night pearls on the top of the hall and brought them out, he would immediately become a rich man.
Completely subconsciously, Shi Cheng began to carefully observe the night pearls above his head, and felt how he could get one. However, a very unexpected discovery interrupted Shi Cheng's thoughts.
Just when Shi Cheng carefully observed the night pearls above his head, he was surprised to find that there were seven night pearls, which were actually arranged according to the position of the Big Dipper.
Looking at the seven night pearls arranged according to the position of the Big Dipper above his head, Shi Cheng suddenly had an idea in his heart: "Could it be that the top of this hall is a starry sky map?" Do those night pearls represent the stars in the sky? ”
Without hesitation, Shi Cheng took a closer look at the night pearls on his head. He had to find the other two of the few stars he knew—the two North Stars in the direction of the Night Pearl and the Morning Star in the east. However, within two minutes, Shi Chengcheng gave up the idea of finding North Star and Morning Star. Because, there are too many night pearls overhead, and even the four corners of the top of the palace have several night pearls. Of course, these night pearls at the edge are arranged in different positions.
"It's too hard to find!" With a sigh of emotion, Shi Cheng shook his head, and his eyes were aimed at the statue facing him again.
Although the statue facing the stone is a stone carving, it is vividly carved. Even, Shi Cheng could feel the coercion emanating from the statue's eyes to the position he was standing on. However, after amnesia, Shi Cheng doesn't care about these now. He only looked at the statue for a while, and then pondered the "little doors" on both sides.
According to what the old voice said just now, Shi Cheng should follow his feelings and walk into one of these doors. But Shi Cheng now doesn't say that he followed his feelings. He was now looking at these "little doors" in the palace, and he didn't know which one he should choose. The only feeling that these "little doors" gave Shi Cheng was that there were too many doors, and too many made him feel that his mind was a little messy.
Looking at the "small doors" on the left, and then at the "small doors" on the right, Shi Cheng didn't take a step for a long time. Although Shi Cheng is now amnesiac, it doesn't mean that Shi Cheng doesn't remember anything before. At least, he remembered that an old man had told him that there were mechanisms in those imperial tombs. Therefore, Shi Cheng didn't dare to push open one of the doors easily. If you push the wrong door, what mechanism is inside, and you won't be done all at once?
However, Shi Cheng did not hesitate for long. Because, he remembered that he had seen on TV before that the emperor came out of the door next to the throne when he went to court. And in the corners of the temple wall on both sides of the stone formation, there is also a doorless opening.
"The emperor and the eunuchs are gone, there shouldn't be a mechanism!" Shi Cheng muttered in his heart, his heart was crossed, and he walked towards the door on the left.
The doorway that Shi Cheng chose was not dark inside. Just like the palace outside, on the top of the nearly 100-meter-long corridor in the doorway, there are some small night pearls embedded in them. And the inside of the corridor doesn't want the door opening outside to be so "small"! Not to mention that the top of the corridor is more than five meters high from Shi Cheng's head. The width of the corridor alone has reached nearly ten meters.
"It wasn't worth much back then!" Seeing that the Yongdao more than five meters above his head could not reach the small night pearl embedded in every few meters, Shi Cheng pursed his lips and said secretly in his heart. Of course, when he said this, Shi Cheng's heart was also a little sour. Because, there is nothing on either side of the corridor except the smooth walls. He couldn't find anything to borrow, climbed on it and cut off a night pearl. And even if he could climb up, he wouldn't be able to reach the Night Pearl, which was five meters away from the walls on both sides of the road.
Walking to the end of the road, Shi Cheng turned to the left hand side along the direction of the road. Then, after walking a distance of nearly 100 meters, Shi Cheng came to a yellow metal door that was similar to the one he had seen in the palace outside.
"It can't be here!" Shi Cheng muttered to himself in his heart, and took a step forward and was about to reach out and push the yellow metal door. However, just as Shi Cheng's foot was stretched out of his right hand, a low roar suddenly sounded from behind him, startling him. However, although Shi Cheng had amnesia, his body, which had received special treatment before, reacted immediately. Almost the moment Shi Cheng heard that low roar, Shi Cheng's heart was just frightened, and his feet had already turned his body behind him without permission. As for Shi Cheng's right hand that he had just stretched out, he also subconsciously retracted it.
And when Shi Cheng turned around, his heart was still clenching tightly, and he hadn't recovered yet. Even, Shi Cheng's consciousness was still before he turned around, and he didn't realize that his body had turned around at all. It wasn't until Shi Cheng felt that the skin on his body suddenly felt a pinprick-like, slightly numb but extremely itchy tingling sensation, that Shi Cheng's brain reacted. And his eyes saw clearly the guy who had just stood behind him and let out a low roar.
Moment! Shi Cheng looked at the guy in front of him now, and the pupils of his eyes instantly shrank into pins......
