The roar came from inside the Taoist temple, which shocked everyone outside, and Bai Zhongzheng reacted extremely quickly, rushing directly to He Chenxue on the side, blocking in front of her. In the distance, she immediately crouched down and raised her eyes to stare at the door, but when she looked at it, her reaction was as completely stunned as the torture technique standing in the doorway—after the roar came, a war horse dressed in colorful scale armor rushed out of the cave in the temple, and the war horse rode a samurai in strange armor with a horse lance, and the spear head of the samurai's hand was less than a few centimeters away from the face of the torture.

Time seemed to stand still, and the people outside the door stared at the torture and the warrior who rushed out, and the eyes of the torture were focused on the head of the horse lance in front of him, and the horse and the warrior were completely still, but the armor on their bodies kept shining with colorful light.

After a long time, the torture technique slowly retracted his feet, and then raised his hand to touch the spear head in front of him, because standing closer, he found that the war horse and the samurai were translucent.

The hand of the torture technique slowly penetrated the head of the spear, and then said, "It's light and shadow, just like the lantern we saw before, it's just light and shadow." ”

The people behind him breathed a sigh of relief, slowly stepped forward, and walked to the door to take a closer look.

The torture technique stood there, shaking his hands from side to side, and then stood on the side, only then did he see clearly that the so-called war horse warriors were just the shadows reflected by a bronze mirror in the center of the Taoist temple, which did not appear before, but after the torture technique stepped on the machine brick at the door, the stone platform where the bronze mirror was placed rose from the ground in front of it.

"Don't move, maybe there's something else, I'll go take a look first." The torture technique went around from the left side, just took a step, and stepped on the floor tiles next to it, this step down, and another beam of light shot out behind the bronze mirror, the beam shone on the copper mirror, and a series of other fixed lights and shadows were projected on the left side of the bronze mirror, and other types of war horse warriors appeared, and their appearance was similar to that in the marquee.

The torture technique walked all the way towards the bronze mirror, tentatively stepping on the floor tiles on the ground, and each time he stepped on one, another part of the light and shadow would be reflected in the bronze mirror, but every time the torture technique let go of his feet, the light and shadow triggered by stepping on the brick before would disappear, and then step on the other floor tiles, and a new light and shadow would appear, which was completely different from the previous one.

Xingshu turned his head to look at the three people outside the door: "I'll go over and look at the bronze mirror." ”

The three of them outside the door nodded, and the torture technique stepped forward cautiously, and when he approached the bronze mirror, he found that this Taoist temple seemed to have experienced a killing thousands of years ago, and the objects scattered from the surrounding area, as well as the broken bones, as well as the arrows, long knives, and short swords that fell around the bones all proved his speculation.

Finally came to the bronze mirror, the torture technique approached, but did not see what mechanism on the bronze mirror, but found that there was a ball behind the bronze mirror, there are countless small holes on the ball, but it seems that the ball has two layers, the outer layer is covered with small holes, and the inner layer seems to have a closed cover, after stepping on the floor tiles, those small holes will be touched, and the cover on the hole will automatically open, and then light will shoot out of the small holes to shine on the back of the copper mirror, resulting in the appearance of fixed light and shadow.

"Bai Zhongzheng, count how many floor tiles there are on the ground at the door to me, only the black floor tiles." After the torture technique was finished, he looked at He Chenxue again, "Chenxue, you come over and do a favor, borrow your eyes to take a look." ”

When He Chenxue came, Bai Zhongzheng had already leaned down and began to count the floor tiles, and when he reached out and touched the first floor tile, he immediately looked up at the torture technique and said, "This kind of floor tile is made of iron. ”

Torture nodded: "Yes, only this kind of iron floor tile will trigger the mechanism." ”

The fake branch walked in slowly, walking slowly along the cave wall on the left side of the Taoist temple, observing the cave wall, and raising his hand from time to time to caress it, as if he felt that there should be some mechanism on the cave wall.

He Chenxue came to the side of the torture technique, and the punishment technique pointed to the bronze mirror and said: "Look at the bronze mirror yourself, there seems to be something and words on it, I can't see what it is." ”

He Chenxue nodded, looked carefully, and then was stunned for a moment, thought for a little and continued to look at it, while the torture technique was counting the small holes on the ball. After a long time, Bai Zhongzheng came over and said, "There are a total of ninety-nine black floor tiles. ”

Torture nodded: "That's right, there are also ninety-nine small holes on the ball." ”

Bai Zhongzheng looked at Xiao Kong and said, "You mean that the small hole on the ball corresponds to the floor tiles?" ”

"Yes." Xingshu nodded, pointing to the small hole and said, "There are two layers inside and outside the ball, I step on a certain floor tile, the lid of the fixed small hole will be removed, and the light inside will shoot out, and it will produce that strange light and shadow after shooting at the bronze mirror, this Taoist priest is really a genius, this kind of precision machinery, not to mention thousands of years ago, even if it is put now, it is difficult to do it just with a simple machine, without cooperating with a certain procedure." ”

Torture stepped on the nearest iron brick, and the ball began to spin, one of the small holes opened, and a beam of light shot out into the bronze mirror, and then projected a walking spearman with a spear in the distance.

Bai Zhongzheng approached the small hole from the side, and then said, "It seems to be a jewel or something like that in it." ”

"Bohai State Earthquake Guogong." He Chenxue suddenly pointed to the side of the bronze mirror and said, "There are words on the bronze mirror, and the arrangement of the font is chaotic, but when you stepped on the floor tile before, these six words lit up." ”

The torture technique immediately stepped forward, but his eyes were completely invisible, not as clear as He Chenxue's green eyes and single pupils, even if He Chenxue pointed to the mirror to show him, he couldn't see clearly.

He Chenxue pondered for a while and said: "Since there is a progressive relationship between the floor tiles, the ball holes and the bronze mirror, and when the light and shadow are generated, there are words on them, and the words are originally arranged randomly, I speculate that the words on the mirror should be something similar to a password, and the words must be stepped on according to a certain law, and the words will appear in order, so as to piece together a complete record." ”

Xingshu frowned: "But we can't know the rules, we can only use stupid methods." ”

He Chenxue said: "You mean, you and Bai Zhongzheng went to step on the bricks, and I recorded the words here, recorded the words that appeared every time, recorded them ninety-nine times, and then put these words together and rearranged them according to the structure of the words?" ”

Torture nodded: "Other than that, there is no other way but this." ”

As he spoke, the torturer looked at Bai Zhongzheng, but Bai Zhongzheng raised his head and motioned for them to look at the fake branch.

At this time, the false branch was walking past the bones and scattered objects on the ground, looking at them from time to time, touching them gently with his gloved hands, and then sniffing his fingers, and whispering something to himself from time to time.

Xingshu shook his head, signaling to leave the fake branch alone, and to figure out the matter of the bronze mirror first.

Immediately afterwards, the three of them acted separately, He Chenxue took out a pen and paper and began to record one by one, while Xingshu and Bai Zhongzheng were left and right, slowly stepping on those floor tiles, each time they stepped on a piece, they used a red pen to draw a serial number on the floor tiles, and He Chenxue would also draw the same symbol behind the words that appeared under this floor tile at the same time.

The false branch stood at the mouth of the cave in the Taoist temple, looking at it all the time, not knowing what it was looking at.

It took an hour and a half for the three of them to work together to record all the words, and then He Chenxue sat on the side with a notebook and began to piece together the words on it.

It took another two hours to piece together those words, and Xingshu and Bai Zhongzheng also took the opportunity to take turns to rest, and one of them took a nap, because it was an ancient text, so it was a little difficult to spell it out.

Finally, He Chenxue spelled it out, and Bai Zhongzheng woke up the torture technique that was still sleeping, and handed the long text that had been pieced together to the torture technique for him to read.

Xingshu rubbed his eyes, drank water and watched, and then frowned: "'Heaven and Earth Mirror, Ming Heaven and Earth'." What does that mean? ”

He Chenxue pointed to the text and said, "The Heaven and Earth Mirror refers to this bronze mirror, right?" I presume so. It is written that the reason why all this was built is to praise the Duke of Zhenguo of the Bohai Kingdom, in fact, many of them are nonsense, and it is written that this Duke of Zhenguo is extremely brave, witty, and has easily defeated the invading Tang Army with many surprise troops. ”

Bai Zhongzheng wondered: "The Tang army that came to attack? ”

He Chenxue said: "Although the title of Bohai State is given by the Tang Dynasty, but to be precise, it is the Tang Xuanzong period, before that, the Bohai Kingdom, which is commonly known as the Khan Kingdom, is called the Zhen Kingdom, before I came, I checked the information, the ruler of the Bohai Kingdom at that time was named the King of Bohai County, but in the Wu Zhou period, that is, the reign of Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian gave it the title of the Duke of Zhenguo, the earthquake here should not be the meaning of the earthquake Bafang, it should belong to the earthquake word of the earthquake country, and this earthquake word should come from the earthquake position in the gossip, But here's a very contradictory point. ”

"It's a contradiction." Xingshu looked at the text and said, "Because the ruler of the Bohai State at that time rebelled against the Great Wuyi, his younger brother Damen Yi was worried about offending the Tang Dynasty and defected to the Tang Dynasty, only in that era did the Bohai State go to war with the Tang Dynasty, and after the restoration of Tang Zhongzong, he was named the king of Bohai County, as for the name of Bohai State, it was only in the later Tang Xuanzong period, that is to say, it was promoted to a country here in the late Tang Dynasty, and it was after Xuanzong, and after Suzong, it was the Daizong." Therefore, according to the records of the Tang Dynasty, when it was at odds with the Tang Dynasty, there was no title of Bohai State at all, and it is even more impossible that the ruler here still continued to use the title of Duke of Zhenguo canonized by the Tang Dynasty, isn't that ridiculous? ”

Bai Zhongzheng said: "It's really ridiculous, when you are at war with the enemy, how can you still take out the title of the enemy's canonization to show off your might." ”

"Therefore, I speculate that when this Heaven and Earth Mansion was built, it should be the late Bohai Kingdom, the period when the Khitan destroyed the country, or later, otherwise, unless this person called the Cast Iron Immortal will travel through time and space and know the things of the next hundred years in the Wuzhou period, it is impossible." Xingshu put down the notebook, picked it up again, saw the serial number on the text, and suddenly patted his head and said, "That's right, the corresponding order of iron bricks and words." ”

"Finally got it?" The fake branch in front of him turned around and said, "When you listed the serial numbers earlier, I thought you had understood. ”

He Chenxue didn't react for a while, and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"If you think about it, stepping on the floor tiles to reveal the text should actually be the other way around, that is, the text is scrambled, and the order of stepping on the floor tiles is also messy, and if you step on the floor tiles in the correct order of the combination of this broken text, maybe it's time to uncover the mystery." ”

Bai Zhongzheng looked at the floor tiles and said, "Yes, what is the serial number of the first word of the text." ”

He Chenxue looked at the notebook and said, "47." ”

Bai Zhongzheng immediately found the floor tiles marked "47", looked at the torture technique, the torture technique nodded, he raised his foot and stepped on it, and then the light and shadow appeared again, and when he raised his foot, he found that the light and shadow did not disappear, and then everyone stepped on it one by one according to the correct arrangement of the text, and finally discovered the truth recorded by this mysterious light and shadow.

According to the picture shown on the light and shadow, they speculated that this was what happened when the Bohai State was destroyed, to the effect that the Khitan army attacked the Bohai State at that time, but at the same time, a Tang army also appeared, although it was only a light cavalry team, but it was very strong, and easily defeated the army of the Bohai State, and then rushed into the city to burn and kill.

When the torture and others saw the picture of the reappearance after the overlapping light and shadow, they were extremely surprised, and the torture couldn't help but say: "This person is simply a genius among geniuses, if you don't step on the floor tiles in the correct order, the light and shadow that appears is just a group of samurai, but according to the correct light and shadow, the light and shadow of those samurai overlap together, and it becomes other pictures, and it appears one by one like a slide." ”

"Wait-" He Chenxue shouted at this time, pointing to the two almost identical people who were dressed more gorgeously in the light and shadow, "Who are these two people?" ”

Fake Nazhi said on the side: "It seems that it was the ruler of the Bohai Kingdom at that time, and there were many people kneeling beside these two people, many of whom seemed to be civil and military generals, and it should be the king who could make these people kneel." ”

He Chenxue shook his head: "But how can there be two kings?" ”

The torture technique said to Bai Zhongzheng: "Bai Zhongzheng, you continue to step on it in order and see what will appear below." ”

The subsequent picture display made the four of them understand that before the defeat of the Bohai State and the surrender of Kaecheng, the king of the Bohai Kingdom found a substitute, and he left under the protection of a group of guards, and left with five carts full of treasures and other things, and then at the foot of a certain mountain, a Taoist priest with two Taoist children greeted them and took them into the mountain.

The next picture is that the king, under the guidance of the Taoist priest, came to the Heaven and Earth Mansion, which had not yet been completely built.

Everyone watched it intently, and finally understood what was going on, this place should have been built by the ruler of the late Bohai Kingdom to the person called the Cast Iron Immortal, of course, maybe it was the proposal of the Cast Iron Immortal, but on the premise that the Bohai Kingdom was not completely built, the Bohai Kingdom died, and the king replaced himself with a stand-in he found, and then hid below, of course, the matter did not end there.

Later, perhaps the cast iron fairy felt that it was too troublesome to use the picture to represent it, and the text was all visible later, and the text probably meant that the substitute king betrayed the real king, and the Khitan army rushed to find them, and it was Yelu Bei, the Khitan crown prince, who led them at that time, and this group of soldiers entered the Heaven and Earth Mansion, because of the relationship between the organs, there were heavy casualties.

Here the text appears and there is a picture of Jerubi dying in the same wormhole they had spent hauling......

Seeing this, the torture technique immediately waved his hand and said, "Stop, stop!" Something impossible! ”

Bai Zhongzheng didn't know much about history, so he turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

He Chenxue also frowned, she was also vague about that period of history, and she didn't understand what was going on.

Fake Nazhi said: "What the criminal boss means is that it is impossible for Yelu Bei to die there, because Yelu Bei later became the ruler of the Dongdan Kingdom, and was named the emperor of the human king by his father Yelu Abaoji, because at that time Yelu Abaoji called himself the emperor of heaven, and the queen was called the queen of the earth, but after Abaoji's death, Yelu Bei did not become the emperor of the Khitan at that time, because Yelu Bei's thinking was more inclined to learn from the most powerful Han people at that time, but his mother and younger brother did not think so, and his mother preferred his younger brother Yelu Deguang, In the end, Yelubei did not become the emperor, and because he was afraid that his younger brother would become the emperor, he would harm himself and fled to the Later Tang Dynasty, so it was impossible for him to die in the Heaven and Earth Mansion. ”

Xingshu looked at the fake branch and said, "The history books are recorded like that, so it is impossible for Yelubei to die here." ”

He Chenxue was puzzled: "Then why did this cast iron immortal record this matter?" Does it make any sense? ”

Bai Zhongzheng said: "Let's read it first, and there is a hole over there, maybe there is something in it, maybe there is an underground palace or something, because we came all the way, all we saw were organs, how could a king of a country live in such a place." ”

Torture nodded: "Go ahead." ”

The next picture is even more surprising, because the picture does not describe anything about Tiandifu anymore, but only writes that this place was sealed and then surrounded by the Khitan army, and the person who led this group of Khitan troops back was none other than Yelubei, who had obviously died in the wormhole earlier.

After the last scene ended, Bai Zhongzheng let go of his foot stepping on the floor tiles and turned his head to look at the others, who were all in a sluggish state, even the fake branch was just staring at the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, the torture technique broke the silence: "I'm a little confused. ”

He Chenxue suddenly said in surprise: "Will it be ...... Did someone replace Jerubes? ”

The torture technique was startled, and at this time, the fake branch in the distance immediately turned his head to stare at He Chenxue, Bai Zhongzheng frowned and said, "This is impossible, right?" A dignified Khitan crown prince, who died here and no one knows, was replaced so easily? Where can I find someone who looks exactly the same, and has the same gestures and accents? ”

Xingshu also nodded: "Yes, although it is a possibility, this probability is too low." ”

He Chenxue insisted: "You can be disguised." Saying that, He Chenxue subconsciously looked at the fake branch in the distance, and the implication was that the fake branch could have such a superb disguise technique, this technique was handed down from ancient China, maybe it was there at that time.

The fake branch just snorted coldly and didn't pick up the stubble.

Xingshu looked at the bronze mirror and said: "Anyway, basically how this place was formed, we have found out, as for the treasure of the Khan Khanate, I think it should be just a gimmick, for thousands of years, I don't know how many people have died here, and our goal has been achieved, now we can only move on, and then find the exit to leave." ”

"And ......" He Chenxue said in a low voice, "To solve Liu Zhigang's matter, I know, it is very abrupt to say this request now, but I can't do it alone, I hope you can help, I don't want my grandmother to carry the identity of a murderous demon and cult leader all the time, although I haven't seen her, but I believe that she is not a fierce beast." ”

Fake Nazhi nodded and took a few steps forward: "However, you should know that Liu Zhigang should be yours...... Father. ”
