Chapter 81: The Altar

Since even Shen Lang knew the secrets hidden in this so-called first year, then the others naturally understood what we should do next.

We looked at Chun Ting, wanting to get the final confirmation from him, only to find that he had already taken his own steps at the same time as Shen Lang spoke.

Seeing Chunting's movements, we knew that Qi Zhi and Niu Kelian's speculation had been agreed with by it, so everyone followed Chunting's footsteps and moved firmly towards the southeast together.

Soon, we arrived at the door in the southeast with the carved snake motif.

Since I had already had the experience of the previous two times, after arriving here, I, Yi He, and Ling Xuan were not in a hurry, and still followed the process just now, methodically pushing open the door, boarding the golden man, taking blood with a sword, and dripping blood on the ground, the whole process can be said to be completed in one go.

After doing all this, the three of us didn't stop for long, but returned to the ground to look at the golden figure in front of us with everyone, waiting for what would happen to it next.

As my blood dripped onto the golden figure, the light that was refracted to the golden statue's eyes slowly changed, and this light also turned into a blood-like red, no different from the light emitted by the previous two golden figures, and shot straight towards the middle of the Tongtian Palace.

And just as these three red rays of light converged at one point, a burst of dust rose at the intersection place, and this flying dust obscured our line of sight, and at the same time, a huge sound of machinery resounding through the Heavenly Palace came into our ears.

Looking at the current situation, Qi Zhi and Niu Kelian's guess should be correct, and what the words "Yuannian" imply is the golden statue in the southeast.

Since they didn't know what would happen at the intersection of the three rays of light, they didn't go to explore it for safety reasons, but stood silently in place, waiting for calm to return to this place before checking.

It didn't take long for the dust flying in our eyes to gradually dissipate, and the deafening sound of the mechanism slowly disappeared, and we were surprised to find that just after the change just now, there was actually a majestic building at the intersection of the three rays of light!

When we saw this sudden appearance, we finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After going around and around, we finally discovered the last secret here!

When we saw that there were no more changes around us, we consciously walked to the center of the Tongtian Palace, wanting to know what the purpose of this building was.

As we got closer to the building, we began to see some of the architectural details, and upon a cursory look, we saw that the new structure seemed to be an altar.

And as we got under the building, we finally confirmed our guess further.

This new building is indeed an altar.

At this moment, what appears in front of us is a stone staircase, on the steps is a high platform, there are several simple and vicissitudes of stone pillars around the high platform, and there seems to be something enshrined in the middle of the high platform, but our terrain is too low, and we can't really see it.

Seeing this scene, we took a deep breath, and without having time to think about the origin of this altar, we stepped on the steps in front of us, ready to climb the altar, and explore the last mystery in this Tongtian Palace.

The staircase was a bit long, but fortunately there was no mechanism on it, and in a short time we were on top of the platform.

And the moment I climbed the high platform and saw the specific layout of this place, my whole person was like a lightning strike, and I stood on the spot. 187

I've seen this altar!

Or to put it more accurately, I once dreamed of this altar!

The floor of this altar is not made of brick and stone, but is made entirely of silver, and the ground is carved with intricate patterns that extend into the distance, and five huge stone pillars stand at the end of the pattern, revealing the vicissitudes of history and the indescribable majesty and mystery on the stone pillars.

On the five stone pillars are engraved with mysterious ornaments that are not recorded in the historical records, and at the top of each stone pillar there is a statue, and if you look closely, it is Bi Fang, Jairus, Baxia, Qi Zhi and Bai Ze, the five sacred beasts that hide the secrets of the mountain.

And just when I was shocked that the layout here was exactly the same as my dream, Xue Nan's exclamation came from my ears.

"Look, what's enshrined here!"

Hearing Xue Nan's voice, I didn't bother to think about why this place would be arranged, and quickly shifted my gaze to the highest point of the altar, wanting to know what would surprise her so much.

The so-called altar was originally a unique building used to worship the gods and pray for protection in ancient times, and because the ancients attached great importance to this aspect, the altar is an extremely mysterious and sacred place.

On the way to the altar, I took it for granted that since the construction of this place implied the Taoist idea of the unity of heaven and man, and at the same time it was built to commemorate the ancestral dragon, then this place should be dedicated to the legendary Taoist gods and demons, or the tablets of some princes and ministers during the Qin Dynasty.

But as Xue Nan spoke, I realized that what was enshrined above was not the Taoist gods and demons I guessed, nor was it anyone's ancestral tablet.

What is enshrined at this altar is not mysterious, but it is a little out of place here.

Because in any case, we didn't expect that what was enshrined here was actually a sword.

A sword that is pitch black and makes people dare not look up.

But this is an altar after all, and in such a sacred and peaceful place, why would there be a weapon that exists to kill people?

We wanted to go closer and observe, but Chen Gong was worried that there was a mechanism here, so after arriving at the high platform, he told us not to move, and when we heard his advice, we didn't dare to go forward to find out even if we were full of questions.

Chen Gong saw our expressions and knew that we were anxious, so he walked around carefully here to observe, and only after a few confirmations with a serious expression did he look at our definite opening.

"There are no institutions here, so you can act with confidence."

After hearing Chen Gong's confirmation, we were relieved, and everyone walked to the highest point of the altar together, wanting to know the origin of this sword that had been placed here for thousands of years.

We stepped forward and found that the sword was not black, but the blade was completely encased in a pitch-black scabbard, although it was not unsheathed, but it was inserted straight and diagonally at the top of the altar, as if it had endless power when it was not unsheathed, which made people feel cold.

Although I had never seen this sword before, the moment I saw it, I suddenly had an inexplicable intuition in my heart.

My instincts tell me that this sword was once in my hand.
