Chapter 967: Mysterious Tomb Stone Beast
"It's responding again!" Doyang said in surprise.
Seeing this, Zhou You knew that this flute had an effect, so he continued to hold it with his fingers and then hollowed it out, and blew it one by one.
"Phew... Blame... Pyp..."
The scale of the cylindrical rises section by section, long and leisurely, with a sense of ancient vicissitudes...
As these scales sounded, the body of the Earth Glory Dragon climbed onto the stone plate, and the scales on its abdomen flipped up, and four claws appeared, firmly clasping the stone rings on both sides of the stone plate.
And Zhou You continued to play, and in the long flute sound, the Dihuang Dragon suddenly groaned again and again, and its long body writhed vigorously in both directions.
The rumbling sound continued, and the huge stone plate, driven by Candle Jiuyin's body, rotated slowly and heavily, and in a shock, the wide ground in front of it slowly collapsed, revealing a large hole at least five or six meters square.
In that big hole, there was a mysterious and strange brilliant light...
At that moment, Zhou You and Duoyang were both attracted by the strange big hole that suddenly cracked.
After the big hole appeared, the Dihuang dragon slowly climbed down the stone plate and got to the side of the big hole.
Then it turned its head and let out a long groan towards Zhou You and Duoyang, and then nodded.
"I see, it's let's go down!"
Zhou You understood the meaning of the Dihuang Dragon, so he said this to Duoyang, and took the lead in walking towards the big hole.
After getting closer, Zhou You and Duoyang realized that there were steps leading all the way down to the bottom of the big hole, but because of the brilliant light flickering, they couldn't see what was going on below.
At this time, the Earth Glory Dragon suddenly raised its head and let out a huge and long dragon groan.
"Hmm..."
At this moment, the yin eye of the earth huang dragon suddenly opened, and an indescribable light flashed from that yin eye, as if in an instant, illuminating all things in heaven and earth
Zhou You and Duoyang, Dengshi was shocked by this scene...
Because, bathed in this dazzling light, they had an out-of-body feeling, and the two of them almost couldn't help it, striding down the steps and going down the big hole.
I don't know how long I have been walking, and Zhou You and Duoyang's consciousness have returned to their ontology.
After both of them regained consciousness, they both had a feeling of excitement, as if they were in another world...
"It turns out that the legend that if you are looked at by the Earth Huang Dragon, you will be possessed by a demon, but it is false! ”
Zhou You secretly sighed that the spiritual power of the Earth Huang Dragon was so powerful.
After Zhou You and Duoyang's eyes readjusted, they found that the Earth Huang Dragon had disappeared, and in the big cracked hole, a heavy stone door appeared, but the stone door was open.
Looking around, I found that there seemed to be a passage inside, leading to a deep place.
"Why is this door open?" Doyang muttered.
"It should be that the Earth Huang Dragon used spiritual power to open this stone door!"
Zhou You said, and said to Duoyang: "I don't know what the situation is in this stone gate, but since the Dihuang Dragon has opened it for us, let's go in and have a look, maybe there is a way to the outside world!"
With that, Zhou You walked inside, and Duoyang immediately followed him in.
After entering the stone gate, the first thing that caught their eyes was a lamp!
The lamp is made of bronze and has a very primitive shape, with strange patterns and symbols carved on the base.
When the two of them entered the Yongdao capital, the lamp suddenly lit up, emitting a faint yellow light, which was very dazzling.
Through the light, Zhou You and Duoyang saw this place clearly, on both sides of the road, there were such simple bronze lamps, and in the middle of the road, there was a huge stone beast standing tall.
These stone beasts, it seems, should be carved from a whole boulder, with different shapes, and they are natural.
As soon as he saw those huge stone beasts, Zhou Duoyang looked at each other for a moment, and then continued to walk towards the inside of the corridor and walked in.
"Whew... Whew..."
When the two of them stepped into the corridor, the quaint bronze lamps around them burned one after another, extending to the depths, which was very spectacular.
For a while, the scene in the entire corridor was illuminated clearly.
"This, what kind of light is this, how can it light up on its own?" Zhou You was stunned for a moment.
"This should be an everlasting light!" said Doyang.
"Hmm, according to legend, the ancient tomb that can never be extinguished for thousands of years will always be a lantern!" Zhou You exclaimed.
Because Zhou You is from the Department of History, I have heard of this kind of ever-bright lantern...
According to archaeologists, the lantern is a lamp that has not been extinguished for thousands of years in the ancient tomb, but according to scientific theory, this lamp does not exist.
However, Sima Qian recorded in the "Calendar" that in the underground palace of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, "the mermaid paste is used as a candle to endure for a long time"
According to archaeological finds, the wick contains sodium peroxide, a yellowish powder that burns when it encounters water and carbon dioxide.
Therefore, when the archaeologists walked into the tomb, the gas they exhaled contained carbon dioxide and water vapor, and the lantern in the tomb naturally burned.
The professor who took the history class had told about this knowledge, so Zhou You still had an impression, but it was the first time he had seen the real thing.
"There is an ever-bright lamp here, is it the burial chamber of an ancient tomb?" Zhou You muttered.
"Not necessarily! Because those stone beasts, judging from their shapes and carving styles, are at least from antiquity!"
Doyang said in surprise.
"These stone beasts all look different, what is the origin?" Zhou You couldn't recognize these ancient stone beasts.
Duoyang stepped forward and took a closer look at the huge stone beasts.
After half a ring, Duo Yang said slowly: "If I guess correctly, there are a total of twelve stone beasts here, and they should be the twelve divine beasts of Dada!"
"Hmm, the twelve divine beasts, what are these coming from?"
Zhou You asked curiously.
"These twelve divine beasts are the divine beasts that appeared in the ancient system.
They are: Jiazuo, Mercapto, Xiongbo, Tengjian, Lanzhu, Birch, Qiangliang, Zuming, Commission, Wrong Judgment, Qianqi, Tenggen.
These twelve divine beasts have to eat ghosts, tigers, plagues, charms, ominous, blame, dreams, death, parasitism, view, giant, Gu and other twelve kinds of ghost plagues!
In the ancient barbarian era exorcism rituals in our Miao area, the twelve divine beasts of Da Da often appeared, and they were also divided into six yang beasts and six yin beasts. ”
Duo Yang explained, with an excited look on his face: "I didn't expect that there are such complete ruins of the ancient period here!
"Ancient Ruins..."
Hearing Duoyang say this, Zhou You felt a little uneasy.
Because there are ancient ruins of such a scale hidden inside this stone gate, it is already breathtaking.
What makes Zhou You even more strange is that if this place is an ancient ruin, what did Chiyou want to do when he entered this place?
Of course, all these questions are currently in a state of unsolvable, and it seems that it is possible to understand the truth only by continuing to go deeper into the ruins.
"Let's go in and have a look. ”
Zhou You, striding forward, Duoyang immediately followed behind him and continued to move forward.
After a while, they came to the end of the road, and there was no way in front of them, but a thick stone wall.
"Hmm, why is there no way out again?" said Doyang with a frown.
"It's not that there is no way, there should be some kind of mechanism. ”
Zhou You already had experience, and he could see that there should be some kind of mechanism to open in such a place.
"How do you find it?" asked him.
Zhou You said: "I don't know, but I'll try to find it, if I can find the mechanism, I should be able to open the passage." ”
As he spoke, Zhou You walked in front of the stone wall, and then, he stretched out his hand and poked and poked on the stone wall, and even knocked and beaten.
Duoyang also walked over, and she saw that there were many strange patterns carved on the stone wall.
The strangest thing is the pattern in it, which is a star map with the sun in the middle.
"This star map is so strange...", Duoyang muttered.
Zhou You also came over and watched carefully, and then he found that around the four sides of the sun, there were stars of different sizes around, and Zhou You counted them curiously, and there were exactly eight.
Zhou You's heart was shocked, because in the solar system, there are nine planets that revolve around the sun, and the sun itself.
If this pattern and the information displayed are the nine planets of the solar system, then the people who built this ancient ruin must be too advanced, right?
He fell silent and carefully observed the various patterns on the stone wall.
Doyang didn't know what he was thinking, but he knew that they could only pass through the stone wall if they found the mechanism and opened it.
"It's so strange, what does this star chart mean?"
Zhou You muttered puzzled, because the patterns and symbols on this star map were completely different from those in the Central Plains, and he couldn't see what it meant for a while.
However, Duoyang's mind suddenly flashed, and he blurted out: "This pattern should be the operation chart of the nine planets of the solar system!"
"Oh, that's right, these are the nine planets of the solar system!"
Zhou You's eyes lit up, and then he asked Duoyang, "Miss Duoyang, how did you come up with it?"
Instead of answering the question of Zhou You, he stepped forward and used the index finger of his right hand to poke the dots in turn, starting with the smallest Pluto, and finally, poking into the middle of the image of the sun.
"Cluck... Boom..."
As soon as Duoyang's action was completed, the solar system pattern fell into the stone wall, and then, slowly opening to the sides, an entrance appeared in front of it.
This entrance turned out to be a corridor that only allowed one person to pass through.
And when you look at it, it's dark, and you can't see what's going on inside.
Seriously, if a person enters it and there is some mechanism installed inside, there is not even room to hide!
Seeing that Duoyang was able to open this stone wall, Zhou You asked her curiously: "Miss Duoyang, how did you come up with the idea of opening it like this?"
Duo Yang hurriedly explained: "We Gongshi have also studied ancient astronomy, so I tried it according to Gongshi's understanding of the laws of the sun's movement, but I didn't expect it to be successful!"
"Oh, your Gongshi is quite knowledgeable!" Zhou You exclaimed.
"Hehe, maybe it was a mistake!"
Duoyang said, and then said: "The stone wall has been opened when you enter, so let's go in and have a look!"
"Let me go in first, and if it's safe to do so, you can go in again." ”
As he spoke, he slipped into the corridor.
After about two minutes of swimming in, Duoyang heard his exclamatory voice in the corridor: "Miss Duoyang, come in quickly!"
Hearing Zhou You's voice so excited, Duoyang knew that he must have seen something shocking again.
So, Duo Yang was also curious, and immediately got into the tunnel.
Strangely, when Duo Yang entered the narrow corridor, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound behind him.
Duo Yang immediately looked back, and then exclaimed: "That stone wall is automatically locked up again!"
It turned out that the thick stone wall had been closed, isolating Zhou You and Duoyang from it...
Zhou You didn't care, he said: "Anyway, we can't go back now, let's move on." ”
Hearing him say this, Duoyang felt that this was also the case, so he continued to push into the front of the Yongdao
This section of the road is very special, not only does it seem very narrow, but it also turns around, so that we cautiously half-bend forward.
When we finally got out of the road, we saw a white marble step in front of us.
And above the steps, there is a wide platform.
When Duo Yang drilled out of the corridor, he suddenly heard a roar from the corridor behind him.
The sound was like a roar of many ferocious beasts, and it was amazing and shocking!
"What's going on? Could it be that there are wild beasts hidden in the tunnel?" Zhou You exclaimed.
"That's not the roar of the beast, it should be the cry of the twelve divine beasts before!" Duoyang said to him suddenly.
"Ah, aren't those all stone statues, how can they roar?" Zhou You was shocked again.
"Those stone statues all contain a wisp of divine consciousness of the twelve divine beasts of Dada. Duoyang said to him quickly.
"Hmm, Miss Duoyang, why are you so sure?" Zhou You asked Duoyang suspiciously.
"This... I sensed it!" Doyang explained,
"Hehe, you feel really good!"
Zhou You praised Duoyang, and then muttered, "But those stone beasts... What do they mean by roaring like that?"
"I don't know!"
Duoyang shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and then said, "Let's go up and have a look!"
So the two of them walked up to the platform on the stairs together.
After walking to the top of the platform, they saw that in front of the platform, there was a white marble bridge that extended out.
On the other side of the stone bridge, a peculiar temple-like building and temple appeared.
The base of the temple rose from the bottom to the highest, with holes carved in it, and various elaborate patterns were tattooed on the sides.
In the middle, there are several beautiful corridors, straight and curved, which are supported by a series of stone pillars with unique shapes, like a link, and are very delicately designed.
And the strange thing is that these buildings and stone corridors are carved with many grimace reliefs of different sizes, making this originally exquisite temple look strange and gloomy.
"Zhou You, have you found anything?" asked Zhou You.
"I haven't found anything yet, but I always feel that something is not quite right in this temple. ”
Zhou You said, turned his head and asked Duoyang: "Miss Duoyang, you have a special physique, you can feel it, is there a situation inside?"
