Chapter 16: The Princess
Sure enough, I knew it wouldn't be that simple.
Although the record of Niu Kelian's vein came to an abrupt end at the palace gate, since we have arrived here, it is naturally impossible to return in vain, so the next road can only be explored by ourselves.
Fortunately, the Guanshan Ministry of Industry also took into account such a situation, and we finally found the arrangement left by our predecessors after some exploration.
It was a row of grooves filled with grease.
I asked Shen Lang to ignite the grease in the trench, and after igniting, the fire spread along the trench like a fire dragon, and the environment we were in was suddenly much brighter.
By the light of the fire, we saw that at the entrance, there was a plaque of golden silk nanmu at the top of the gold-inlaid vermilion lacquer gate, on which the dragon flew and the phoenix danced with several large characters, indicating what the real name of this place was.
However, the contents of this plaque were greatly unexpected to us.
The inscription on the plaque is not the Vientiane Shrine we imagined, but another name.
Tai Chamber.
What is Taimuro?
We are obviously looking for the Vientiane Shrine, but why does this plaque say Tai Chamber?
Is this the Vientiane Shrine?
A series of questions made me unable to calm down for a while, and I unconsciously shifted my attention to Niu Kelian, hoping that he could give me a reasonable explanation.
But unfortunately, when I saw his apologetic expression, I knew that he didn't know what it was.
"Chief, you don't have to look at me, the record of my vein really came to an abrupt end at the palace gate, and I don't know anything about this Vientiane Divine Palace."
It's not that I don't believe Niu Kelian, the reason why I look at him is only a hint of illusion, and now that he has opened his mouth, this last shred of hope has disappeared.
Seeing this, I had no choice but to look around, trying to find the hidden clues.
This is a typical pagoda-like structure, with three floors gradually getting larger from top to bottom, and the lowest floor we are currently in occupies an unusually large area, roughly estimated to be about a few thousand square meters.
In such a big environment, a person's strength is limited after all, and when I was in a dilemma, Chunting called everyone together and said his plan.
"Since there are no clues, we will simply separate and investigate around to see if there will be any gains, but remember to pay attention to safety."
After hearing Chunting's plan, everyone found that there was no better way, so they had to follow his orders and start looking for clues here on their own at the bottom of this Vientiane Divine Palace.
Since there were nine of us in total, and Niu Kelian was the last to join, he volunteered to explore independently, so the rest of us started to explore in two and two directions.
Shen Lang and Yi He are in charge of due east.
Xue Nan and Chunting are in charge of due south.
Chen Gong and Ling Xuan were in charge of due west.
And the direction that Qi Zhi and I are responsible for is due north.
After all, Niu Kelian is the guardian of the tomb in this vein, and maybe there is something hidden in his body that we don't know, and he starts from the entrance alone to check and fill in the gaps for us.
In the process of exploring, because Shen Lang had just ignited the grease in the trenches, we could now see the layout of this place, and we couldn't help but be shocked by the luxury and grandeur of this place once again.
Although this is only the first level of entry, the decoration here is not shabby at all, and in the firelight, we realize that the ground under our feet is actually paved with fine white jade, shining with a warm light in the light of the fire.
The inner pillar of the palace is a plurality of giant pillars of coiling dragons, the dragons carved on each pillar are slightly different, the carving is fine and lifelike, as if it is about to soar into the sky, it is extraordinarily spectacular.
Qi Zhi and I walked and watched all the way, for fear of missing a certain detail, and although this first floor covers a huge area, the two of us will soon complete the exploration under the premise of only being responsible for one direction.
Just as I was about to lose confidence, by the light of the fire in the trench, I faintly noticed that there seemed to be a small building ahead.
This sudden building lifted Qi Zhi and I's spirits, and the two of us quickened our pace, and finally found something on the outermost part of this floor.
Before our eyes was a majestic hall, not very large, but with an indescribable majesty, as if it could have a direct effect on the human heart, and I secretly guessed in my heart that this might be a temple.
But the hall was strange in shape, different from any other building I had ever seen in the book, and it was covered in black bricks and tiles, without a hint of other colors, which could not help but make people feel strange.
We looked up and saw that on the plaque above the temple gate, two large characters were clearly engraved, letting us know the original name of this place.
Gendo.
Before Qi Zhi and I could call everyone here, I heard Shen Lang's voice coming from a distance.
"Brother Ting, I have found something here."
And Qi Zhi and I were hesitating whether we should stay here or rush to Shen Lang first, when Ling Xuan's excited voice had already arrived.
"Brother Ting, I found a big hall here."
……
Actually found something in every direction?
So where should we go first?
When I was struggling, Chun Ting fully demonstrated the qualities that a superior person should have, and he did not panic at all after hearing everyone's voices, but spoke loudly and made the most correct decision at the first time.
"Listen to me, pay attention to safety and don't act on your own, let's converge first, and then start investigating together."
After hearing his voice, I was relieved, what he said was the most correct choice at this moment, so Qi Zhi and I did not hesitate, and returned along the route just now, and when everyone reunited in the center of this level, we exchanged discoveries after exploring each other.
"I'll say it first, I'll say it first."
The first to speak was Shen Lang, who couldn't bear it.
"Didn't Yi He and I investigate due east, there was nothing along the way, but at the very edge we found a large hall!"
Qi Zhi beside me is also childlike, she looked at Shen Lang and couldn't help but ask.
"Brother Chuan and I also have a big hall here, what kind of hall do you have over there, is it black bricks and black tiles, and it looks very weird?"
Shen Lang shook his head and denied Qi Zhi's guess.
"It's not black, the hall we see is blue bricks and green tiles, it looks particularly sacred, by the way, I also noticed that the plaque at the entrance of the hall is engraved with the word Qingyang."
Ling Xuan spoke slowly at this time, and after listening to Qi Zhi's conversation with Shen Lang, he could clearly see the puzzlement on his face.
"We also found a large hall here, but it was not cyan or black, but white bricks and white tiles, which looked a little uncomfortable, and the words General Chapter were engraved on the plaque."
Xue Nan saw that everyone had made discoveries, and she also opened her mouth in confusion, talking about her and Chunting's discovery.
"Our side is also a big hall, but it is red bricks and red tiles, but what is engraved on the plaque is Mingtang!"
Mingtang? In Xue Nan's direction, another Ming Hall actually appeared.
My mind was a mess.
How many halls are there in this Vientiane Shrine?
Just as I frowned, a smile suddenly appeared on Chunting's face.
It seems that he has his own judgment based on what we have found. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Guanshan Chronicle Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
