Putting aside my troubled identity, I focused my attention on the door in front of me.

After the Guigu Order was put into the newly appeared groove on the door, it was really tightly fitted, as if the two were one, and as the Guigu Order and the door became one, we heard the familiar sound of the mechanism in our ears again.

We didn't know whether it was good or bad, so we didn't dare to act rashly, so we could only wait quietly for the development of the situation, but after the sound of the mechanism gradually disappeared, we found that the door seemed to have not changed.

Seeing this, Shen Lang couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and he looked at Chunting with an inquiring gaze, wanting to know what was going on.

But Chun Ting didn't speak, but just motioned Shen Lang with his eyes to go and investigate on his own.

When Shen Lang saw Chunting's eyes, he knew that Chunting would not harm him, and if something really happened, Chunting could react as soon as possible, so he walked forward with confidence and stretched out his hand to tentatively touch the door.

Unexpectedly, this door, which we couldn't reach no matter what, was actually pushed open by Shen Lang's hands without force, and the barrier that had invisibly blocked our exploration before had completely disappeared with the placement of the Guigu Order.

And as the door in front of us was pushed open by Shen Lang, it seemed to trigger a chain reaction, only to hear the sound of the mechanism in the Tongtian Palace beginning to sound one after another, which made us tremble.

Just after the sound of the organ that resounded throughout the Tongtian Palace disappeared, the originally dark and closed Tongtian Palace was like daylight.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.

This Tongtian Palace was originally located underground, a place where the sun did not see the light of day in the true sense, but as Shen Lang pushed open this pitch-black door, it seemed to touch some mechanism, causing it to be bright here, why is this?

Before we could think deeply about the reason for this change, Chun Ting, who had been watching from the side for a long time, strode forward and completely pushed open the door that Shen Lang had not completely pushed open, and the secret hidden behind this door was finally glimpsed by us.

And after seeing what was hidden behind the door, Shen Lang opened his mouth wide and shouted out in disbelief as he watched us.

"Golden ...... Golden people? ”

No one answered his question, because we saw the scene in front of us in disbelief as well.

What Shen Lang said was not wrong at all, behind this pitch-black door, there was a tall and mighty golden man.

This golden man is about five meters high and two meters wide, his whole body is golden and covered with delicate patterns, he holds a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, and he kneels on one knee in the direction of the center of Tongtian Palace, and his expression is extremely respectful.

What surprised us the most was not the golden figure itself, but the hidden meaning behind the golden figure.

We already know that there are twelve doors here, and if there are such golden people behind each door, then don't they add up to twelve golden people!?

However, the twelve golden people are the things cast by the ancestral dragon when he collected the soldiers of the world, and we have learned from the mouth of the spring pavilion that the twelve golden people were used by the ancestral dragon to guard Shenzhou, and it is impossible to appear here anyway, so what is this in front of us?

"This is not the twelve golden people cast by the ancestral dragon back then."

When we were shocked, Niu Kelian on the side was not surprised at all, and looked at us and said calmly.

"This is the statue of the twelve gods imitated by the Empress Wu back then, but now it seems that this should also be cast under Guan Shan's instructions."

Looking at our puzzled eyes, he began to explain to us in detail what was going on with the imitation of the Twelve Golden Men in his mouth.

"Everyone already knows that the Vientiane Shrine is actually the Ming Hall built by the Empress Wu, and at the same time, it is also known that the Ming Hall was set on fire by Xue Huaiyi, and the Empress Wu ordered the construction of the Ming Hall for the second time.

And the second construction of this Ming Hall has been recorded in detail in the ancestral home of my lineage, and the twelve golden people in front of us were cast at that time. ”

Under his serious explanation, we finally sorted out the origin of this golden man.

In the first year of the divine power of the Holy Empress of Tianshun, the imperial court cast the statues of Jiuding and the twelve gods and moved them to Tongtian Palace.

Among them, the Yuzhou tripod is one zhang eight feet high, can accommodate 1,800 stones, and the rest of the states are each one zhang four feet high, can hold 1,200 stones, and the queen of the martial arts also ordered people to cast the image of mountains and rivers on the tripod respectively, sharing more than 560,070 catties of copper.

The twelve golden figures are the same as in front of us, all golden, with patterns all over, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, all of which are cast into the appearance of kneeling on one knee, and their expressions are extremely respectful.

After the casting was completed, the statues of Jiuding and the twelve gods were dragged in from the Xuanwu Gate, and the Empress Wu ordered the prime minister and the kings to lead more than 100,000 people in the northern and southern yasan guards and the big bull and white elephant in the honor guard to drag together, which is enough to see the importance that the Empress Wu attaches to it.

However, the final whereabouts of Jiuding and the twelve gods have never been recorded in any ancient books.

When Xue Nan heard this, he couldn't help but ask.

"Casting imitations of the Nine Tripods and the Twelve Gods? What is the Empress Wu going to do, is it to emulate Dayu and Qin Shi Huang? ”

Niu Kelian shook his head and said his guess.

"Empress Wu is self-aware, although she is the empress of China through the ages, how can she be compared to Emperor Yu and Zulong.

In my opinion, the reason why she cast this thing should be secretly instructed by Li Jing and Yuan Tiangang, and it should be the price or quid pro quo that Guan Shan helped her become emperor. ”

Although Niu Kelian's statement is a little weird, it is logical when you think about it.

In the underground imperial tombs that we have explored, we already know that the head of Guanshan was the pseudonym Chang Yuchun, who promised to pacify the world for Zhu Yuanzhang, and what he asked was that Zhu Yuanzhang built a mausoleum for him to store statues.

And when Ling Xuan taught Li Cunxiao's exercises to Shen Lang before, he also said that Li Cunxiao was another identity of the leader of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and he fought for Li Keyong, the king of Jin, to fight in the south and the north, and the same request was for Li Keyong to build a mausoleum for him.

Thinking that Guan Shan secretly helped Wu Zetian to become the emperor, it was not without asking for anything in return, this Vientiane Shrine and the legendary Jiuding and Twelve Statues seemed to be the price that Wu Zetian needed to pay to accept help.

If you think about it this way, the reason why there is no record of the whereabouts of the Jiuding and the twelve gods is that the Empress Wu had specially instructed the historian not to leave it in writing under the instruction of Guan Shan.

But even if behind these twelve doors are the twelve statues of the gods that Empress Wu imitated under the instruction of Guan Shan, what kind of inspiration can we get from them?

"Long live the first year of the ......"

After listening to Niu Kelian's narration, Chun Ting's gaze shifted from the statue to the entrance of Tongtian Palace, and he muttered to himself.

"It turns out that the method of cracking the mechanism was told to us at the entrance, but we didn't pay attention to it at the time." Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Guanshan Chronicle Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
