Chapter Seventy-Three: Crystals
After saying this to himself, Chunting took a few steps back, and his face looked like he knew everything, but he didn't intend to explain to us, but stood behind us and motioned for us to observe for ourselves.
However, we could only look at Chunting with indescribable eyes, each other's faces were full of self-doubt, and the scene fell into embarrassment again for a while.
This must be a monster!
Originally, everyone felt that they were erudite and talented, not to mention the profound Taoism of Yi and Ling Xuan, as the successor of Luban Chen Gong who was in charge of the Guanshan Ministry of Industry, although Xue Nan was a woman, but her amazing whip when they met for the first time is still fresh in my memory.
Even if Shen Lang is not very nervous, he has finally obtained the inheritance of Li Cunxiao, and Qi Zhi, who looks delicate, is even more of a legendary beast whisperer, and one of these people is taken out at random, even if he does not dare to call himself the dragon and phoenix among people, but at least he is a pillar of talent.
But we met the monster Chunting, and since we got to know him, the experience along the way has made us gradually lose this self-confidence.
Just like now, when we are falling into the fog one by one, Chunting actually has made a new discovery from it?
Looking at Chunting's appearance, we can only secretly adjust our mentality and comfort ourselves that we can't compare with monsters.
Out of understanding Chunting, we knew that he didn't intend to explain directly, so everyone could only endure the curiosity in their hearts and walked to the Jin Ren to take a closer look.
Although we are accustomed to calling it the Golden Man, it is not difficult to find that this statue is actually made of brass, although it is not made of pure gold, but the material used for a statue of this size would be astronomical anyway.
I stretched out my right hand and tapped tentatively on the golden statue, and from the echo I could hear that this golden figure should be made of solid heart, and a solid bronze statue of this size weighs more than a thousand catties.
From the point of view of form, this golden statue is carved to kneel on one knee, although the attitude is respectful, but the head of the golden figure is not humbly lowered, but raised high in the middle of the Tongtian Palace, and his face is full of confidence, as if waiting for the king's review.
As we looked down, the statue knelt on one knee and still had no weapon in its hand, and the golden man was holding a shield in one hand and a sword in front of him, looking mighty, like a true warrior waiting to embark on the march.
The hard work paid off, and after everyone watched around Jin Ren repeatedly, we finally found a trace of strangeness.
Because this golden figure is too tall, we only took a cursory look at the shape of the statue for the first time, and did not notice the specific details until Yi He inadvertently raised his head, and then he discovered the strange place of the golden figure.
Under the prompting of Yi He, we found that this gold figure was originally cast of brass, so the whole body should show the color of brass, but the eyes of this gold figure emitted a faint white light, shining under the light of the fire, with the majestic appearance of the statue people dare not look directly.
After some identification, we saw that there were two crystals embedded in the eye sockets of the original golden figure, and the white light we found was emitted from these two crystals.
This is really a wave of unsettled, and we haven't figured out what Chunting has found, and now there is a second problem.
Why is this golden figure made entirely of brass inlaid with crystals in its eyes?
Crystal, also known as water jade, water blue, this thing has a long history, the earliest record can be traced back to Qu Yuan's Chu Ci, and at the same time there are many records in the Book of Mountains and Seas, because of its unique material and characteristics, so all dynasties have been loved by the literati.
However, in the Tang Dynasty, crystals could already be mined and processed, and although crystals were loved by literati and scholars, they were only precious at best, far from reaching the level of such rare treasures.
Since this golden statue was cast by Wu Zetian under the instruction of Guan Shan, then she would not take it upon herself to inlay crystals in her eyes, that is to say, there must be some reason why the construction personnel must inlay these two crystals in the eyes of the golden statue.
And the reason why we found this crystal in the eye of the golden statue is what we have to do next.
Yi He raised his head and squinted slightly at the glowing crystal, looking thoughtful.
"Crystals, Firelight, ......"
He then looked into the distance, as if to confirm his suspicion.
However, it is a pity that although this Tongtian Palace is not as huge as the Taimur Palace, it covers an area that is not small, and nothing has been found in our line of sight.
"It's not confirmed, but I should have a rough idea of why these two crystals are set here."
Although Yi He was a little disappointed, but unlike Chunting's silence, he looked at us and said with a little speculation.
"Have you ever wondered why this Tongtian Palace is so bright?"
Due to Shen Lang's excitement when he saw Jin Ren just now, we focused our attention on Jin Ren for a while, and when we heard Yi He speak, we realized that why Tongtian Palace suddenly brightened up is still an unknown question.
Vientiane Shrine is not an ordinary palace, but a mausoleum built deep underground, and we are now in a place where the sun does not see the light of day, so it makes sense that there will be no natural light source here, only grease for lighting.
But just now, as Shen Lang pushed open the door in front of us, the lights in this Tongtian Palace actually became bright with the trigger of the mechanism, making us begin to be in a trance for a while, not knowing where we were.
Could it be that the crystal on the eye of this golden statue is the reason why the Tongtian Palace is brightly lit?
Different from the attitude towards Chunting, Xue Nan saw that Yi He had made a discovery, and hurriedly asked unceremoniously.
"Don't sell it to you, tell me quickly, what did you find?"
Yi He didn't express his dissatisfaction with Xue Nan's question, he first glanced at Chunting with disdain, and then turned back to Xue Nan and said with a smile.
"Xue Nan, don't worry, what are the characteristics of the crystal first?"
I really didn't know much about crystals, and after hearing Yi He's question, I looked around, and my heart was a little relieved when I saw the blankness on the faces of Ling Xuan, Shen Lang and the others.
Well, it seems that everyone is the same, no shame......
But just as I was comforting myself, I noticed something abnormal in the corner of my eye.
The expressions on Xue Nan and Qi Zhi's faces were not dazed, on the contrary, they were even a little excited.
Could it be that the two of them knew that this place would be arranged like this, so they had studied the crystal in advance? Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Guanshan Chronicle Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
