Chapter 48 Convergence and Discussion
Because of Chunting's suggestion, we didn't have anything to say to each other, and waited here for the return of the remaining three.
However, although it seems quiet on the surface, my mind really can't be easily calmed.
While I was waiting for the two to return, my mind summed up the exploration.
It is no exaggeration to say that the first exploration in the temple of Babel was full of weirdness.
Qin bricks, Qin seals, pitch-black doors, mysterious portraits, invisible Taoist barriers.
Plus a monkey that suddenly became mysterious.
At first glance, these few things are unrelated, but these unrelated things are combined to form the Tongtian Palace where we are.
My first discovery was the Qin bricks recorded in the history books.
Because Qi Zhi heard the abnormal sound as we walked, it made me notice that the ground here was actually paved with Qin bricks.
Through this discovery, I boldly combined the Qin bricks with the architectural style here, and thus came to the conclusion that this Tongtian Palace was not built for Wu Zetian.
But although I have been able to determine that this Tongtian Palace is not Wu Zetian's dormitory, but was specially built by the original builder for the descendants of Guanshan, there is still something unclear.
Why the Qin Dynasty?
Tongtian Palace was built in the Tang Dynasty, and the Qin Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty were separated by a full 800 years, so why did it have to be built in the style of the Qin Dynasty?
From the previous experience, it can be seen that everything Guan Shan did has its meaning, and I think there must be some reason for this, but I don't have any clues at the moment.
My second discovery was the dark door, and since the discovery of this mysterious door, all our subsequent doubts have arisen because of this door.
After we reached the end of our journey to the north, we saw a pitch-black door, about two people high, without bolts and shafts, standing alone at the very edge of the Tongtian Palace, guarding the secrets here.
One door was enough to make us feel helpless, but after carefully looking around, we found that there was not only one such dark door, but only three in the direction of me and Qi Zhi.
Qi Zhi and I are exploring the northern part of the Tongtian Palace, and there are three such doors in the northern direction alone, and if the four directions are added together, there are twelve.
We have already roughly observed that the Tongtian Palace is a twelve-sided type, and if there really are twelve dark doors here, it can be said to correspond to it.
What do these doors represent?
The shape of the three doors is exactly the same, the only difference is the pattern on the door and the Qin seal script on the pattern.
We have already distinguished the patterns on the door, one is Xuanwu, one is the green dragon, and the other is an unknown woman.
The dragon is the totem and symbol of China, and the green dragon is one of the four elephants in Chinese mythology, because it is located in the east, it is the god of the east on behalf of the seven nights of the dragon, the color is cyan, symbolizing the wood in the five elements, and the Taoists call it Mengzhang Shenjun.
And Xuanwu, one of the four elephants in Chinese mythology, is also the god of the north on behalf of the seven houses in the north, and because the legend of Xuanwu can pass through the netherworld, so the status is distinguished from the other three spirits, known as the Xuantian God, the Emperor Zhenwu, and is also the god of Taoism.
Qinglong Xuanwu is no stranger to everyone, and it can often be seen in various mythological stories, but I still don't have any clues about the mysterious woman's portrait.
What kind of woman is she, who can be compared to these two legendary mythical beasts?
Although I don't know the Qin seal on the door, I have long memorized the glyphs, Chunting is proficient in Qin Seal, and I can write it to Chunting for a while, so he can explain the meaning for us, so I can't put it down and think about it.
And the Dao barrier we encountered, after the initial shock, I can now roughly understand it.
Although I don't know what is hidden behind the door, it can be determined that behind this door is the secret hidden in the Tongtian Palace, and for safety reasons, it is reasonable for the ancestors of Guanshan to lay a Taoist barrier here, and there is nothing abnormal about it.
While my mind was racing rapidly, Xue Nan's puzzled voice suddenly sounded.
"Why did you come back together?"
I looked up at the front, and it turned out that just when I was thinking nonsense, Shen Langyi, who we had been waiting for for a long time, and Chen Gong actually returned together.
Chen Gong explained to us the reason why the three of them returned together, and at the same time asked about our gains.
"I was exploring around in this Tongtian Palace, and I didn't see any trace of you in the first three directions, but I happened to meet them when I walked to the east, and then they came back together, did you gain anything?"
The three of them did not return for a long time, everyone was worried that something had happened, and when they saw them return safely, everyone was relieved.
"You're back, come over and rest for a while, everyone is waiting for you, and we haven't exchanged our harvest yet."
Everyone finally arrived, and it was a little tiring to explore all the way, so we sat on the ground regardless of the image, and under the leadership of Chunting, we began to exchange the harvest this time.
The first to speak was Chen Gong, after all, he was a descendant of Luban, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he talked about the construction of this place.
"My lord, this Tongtian Palace is paved with Qin bricks, and the overall architectural style is majestic and rude, it doesn't look like the Tang Dynasty, but more like the Qin Dynasty."
I heard Chen Gong talk about the construction here, and I couldn't help but echo.
"That's right, Chunting, I also found that both the building materials and the architectural style here are different from the delicate and gorgeous Tang Dynasty, and more like the simple atmosphere of the Qin Dynasty.
If I guess correctly, Wu Zetian didn't want to be buried in a high place, but because this Tongtian Palace was not built for her, but was left for us by the predecessors of Guanshan at the beginning. ”
Then, I told everyone what I had just thought in their minds, and they were a little surprised when they heard it, but after listening quietly to my detailed explanation, none of them could refute it.
Chunting listened to me, his face was appreciative, he did not seem surprised by my explanation, it seemed that he had the same opinion as me along the way.
"Although Wu Zetian is a generation of empresses, but in the final analysis, this is also the day when the people in Guan Shan secretly assisted her to have her dragon on the ninety-fifth day, your idea is right, this Vientiane Divine Palace should only be built for her on the first floor, and the upper two floors are all arrangements left by future generations."
Just as we were about to continue to talk about other discoveries, Niu Kelian, who had been listening quietly and not saying a word, suddenly spoke, looking at me with deep meaning in his eyes.
"Leader, is there anything unusual about the Wushuang beside you?" Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Guanshan Chronicle Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
