When you enter the palace gate, you can see a wide square, which is paved with flat square bricks, which is very flat. There is a mighty hall standing in front of it, the golden eaves and green tiles, the red wall and jade pillars, the fence surrounds, the gold plaque is hung on the door of the palace, and the three ancient characters of "Daren Palace" are written.

There are white marble steps in front of the Daren Palace, there is a large slope sandwiched between the steps on both sides, and a coiled dragon statue is carved in the middle of the slope, the carving is exquisite, lifelike, exudes domineering.

The Great Benevolence Hall is flanked by tall walls, blocking other paths, and only through the main hall can you continue to enter the back halls.

Everyone cautiously walked to the front of the main hall, this Daren Hall has a more peculiar place, that is, there is no temple door in front, directly exposing the environment in the hall, the back of the hall is also empty, there is no back wall, you can directly look through the hall, and walk over.

Everyone thinks that this "Great Ren Palace" is peculiar in construction, and it runs through the front and back, becoming a passageway, but it is like a tall archway, which is convenient for people to go back and forth.

Gao Qin and Xu Ming saw the dragon carved on the slope in front of the hall, and they looked at each other, and they were pleasantly surprised: this is a precious clue, the ancient dragon is not used casually, it seems that this ancient city is related to the emperor of a certain dynasty.

Although there is no door in the Daren Palace, everyone does not dare to enter rashly, after all, they have not entered any building since they arrived in the ancient city, if as Master Zhou said, this hall is likely to hide danger, so they can't act rashly.

Everyone cautiously walked up the steps and looked inside, only to see that the decoration of the main hall was simple and rich, and there were four thick and smooth marble pillars standing in the hall, the ground was paved with jade bricks, and the middle aisle was paved with a red carpet. There are not many furnishings in the main hall, it is very spacious, there are brightly colored curtains hanging obliquely next to the wooden windows, the curtains are embroidered with beautiful patterns, very charming, the wooden beams and fabrics here are as fresh as ever, there is no trace of aging, it seems to have just been built. Longitudinal look, this hall has 17 or 8 meters long, look horizontally, the hall is more than 20 meters wide, look past from the middle, you can see more than 30 meters away behind the Great Ren Palace, and there is a big hall again.

This Daren Hall is very quiet, there is no figure in it, and it exudes a noble and elegant atmosphere. At each end of the main hall stands a huge wall sculpture, about three meters high and about ten meters long. Two wall carvings stand in the main hall and are very spectacular.

Everyone was attracted by the wall carvings, the wall carvings are carved with pictures, each group of pictures tells a story: some show that natural disasters continue, farmers have no harvest, the common people are hungry, they are going to starve to death, at this time there is an emperor-like figure to open a warehouse to release grain, saving many people. The people were grateful, and men, women, and children knelt on the ground and raised their arms to praise the emperor's benevolence; Some show that many prisoners should have been put to death, but the emperor granted amnesty to the world and spared many prisoners of capital crimes, and those prisoners were grateful for the emperor's mercy; There is also this emperor who led thousands of troops and horses to fight and defeated the enemy, but he adhered to the heart of great benevolence, spared the prisoners and never died, never burned and looted wherever he went, and saved the people from dire straits. The wall carvings are full of such and so on, all of which tell about the emperor's great benevolence.

Everyone stood outside the hall, not daring to enter the hall of great benevolence, but they used binoculars to look carefully at the wall carvings.

Gao Qin said: "It seems that there will be no mistake, this wall sculpture is praising the benevolence of an emperor, and this should be built by this emperor." She asked Xu Ming, "Senior brother, what do you think?" ”

Xu Ming sneered and said, "Hmph! The content on the wall carving is indeed very rich and touching, but if the emperor is really as benevolent as the wall carving says, it will naturally be remembered in the hearts of every people, and how can he use himself to boast of his great achievements? If you want me to see it, the person who can use manpower and material resources to make such a huge and exquisite wall sculpture to praise himself will not be a truly benevolent person! ”

Zhou De listened to what Xu Ming said, but he admired this young man for having such an opinion. He also said with a little anger: "In all dynasties and dynasties, those emperors of the Son of Heaven wanted to flaunt their virtues and holiness, so as to put themselves in the position of saints. They do not hesitate to work for the people and lose money, fabricate stories to prove how holy and benevolent they are, and pursue the so-called 'invincible benevolence', in fact, they are deceiving themselves and fooling the people of the world. The real situation is very clear in the hearts of the people, so how can they not understand it. ”

Zhou De and Xu Ming had the same point of view for the first time, they glanced at each other, and they didn't reject each other as much as they used to.

Nanyang carefully observed the corners of the main hall with a lookout glass, and there was no ambush, he said, "Master Zhou, can we pass through the main hall?" ”

Zhou De has been thinking about the two wall carvings, there are three roads paved with red carpets in this Daren Palace: one leads from the front of the hall to the back of the hall, and two go around to the two ends of the main hall, passing in front of the two wall carvings, as if it is a road specially for people to observe the wall carvings.

If you go directly through the Daren Hall from the red carpet in the middle, it is only seventeen or eight meters in a straight line, which looks very relaxed, effortless, and without any warning of insecurity. However, although the Daren Hall was very quiet, and it seemed that they could move anywhere, they didn't know if there was a mechanism hidden in it, and everyone didn't dare to act rashly.

The ancient city was still silent, the light was dim, and everyone watched in front of the Daren Palace, but their hearts were uneasy. Xu Ming said: "This is just a palace, everyone sees it, it's just more than ten meters, can it still stump us?" He said impatiently: "We shouldn't make a fuss, this hall is so spacious, how can there be a mechanism, no, let's try to see." ”

Xu Ming saw that Ah Hu was carrying a hand hammer on his waist, these common equipment were intended to be used in the exploration work, he took off the hand hammer and checked it in his hand, there was some weight. Xu Ming raised his hand and threw the hammer out, he didn't use too much force, he was afraid that the hammer would damage the ground when it landed, so he didn't throw a high parabola, but flew out low.

The hammer drew a slow arc in the air, slowly swirling, and landed on an ordinary jade brick on the ground of the main hall. With a "bang", the hammer fell on the jade brick, only to see that the jade brick immediately flipped over, and a long metal spike with a cold light instantly and silently stabbed out from under the jade brick.

Everyone saw that the spike was two meters long, very sharp, and extremely fast, if someone stood on the jade brick, they would definitely be pierced through a bloody hole!

The spikes fell back as soon as they were stabbed, and the jade bricks returned to their places as if nothing had happened.

Nanyang and the others were very surprised, they had also guessed that there was a trap hidden in the main hall, but when they saw this flap spike with their own eyes, they were still very shocked.

Xu Ming looked at the tumbling jade brick in amazement (the hammer had already fallen under the jade brick), he didn't expect that this hall was really in danger. Everyone was a little afraid at the moment: there may be an ambush hidden in the buildings in the ancient city, but fortunately, with Master Zhou's warning, everyone did not rush into any room along the way, otherwise there would have been an accident!

However, Gao Qin and others still have another mystery in their hearts: this ancient city is full of dangerous organs, but it seems to be waiting for visitors to go deep into it, and there is always a passage. If the builders don't want to be disturbed by future generations, they can design deadly traps that kill the intruders and make it impossible for people to enter the place. But in fact, everyone always feels that this place is always waiting for someone to arrive, as if there is an unimaginable and unspeakable secret.

Zhou De seemed to see the confusion in Gao Qin's eyes, and said: "Don't panic, I guess that most of the organs in this ancient site are set up to protect treasures. If it does not threaten the Orb here, the trap should not be triggered. He continued: "There is also a part of the organ that wants to maintain the dignity of the owner of this ancient city. ”

Gao Qin blinked his eyes wide, there must be hidden mechanisms in the jewelry store in front of him, and it was very reasonable to cut off the people dressed as villagers, these mechanisms were to prevent the gold, silver and jewelry from being stolen by the intruders. She thought, what did Master Zhou's words mean later?

At this time, Xu Ming said: "In this way, this hall is called the 'Great Benevolence Palace', this emperor Lao'er wants to praise his great benevolence and righteousness, benevolence and virtue, and the spike mechanism under the floor is used to do this?" ”

Zhou De nodded and said, "Yes, there are three passages with red carpets in this hall, two of which pass in front of the wall carvings. These organs are to force future generations to walk in front of the wall carving, and to see the benevolence of the emperor, it can be regarded as a praise for the emperor. ”

Gao Qinliu raised his eyebrows, and said angrily: "Didn't the emperor use the murderous mechanism to show his mercy, hmph, this kind of behavior is not a big joke." ”

Zhou De sneered and said: "Since ancient times, the emperors of all dynasties and generations have done less stupid things, how many emperors have eaten the people, making the people miserable, but they still have to beautify themselves as the holy lord and the king, forcing historians to fabricate history, so that their names will go down in history, so that future generations can admire them." Emperors who like war always say that they are forced to go to war in pursuit of national tranquility; The emperor who likes to kill always says that he is benevolent and loves the people, but the dead deserve to die; The suspicious and moody emperor said that he was easy-going and broad-minded; The emperor, who was extravagant and accumulated wealth and treasures, said that he was noble and bright, and loved the people like a son. ”

He went on to say: "The emperor who built this 'Great Hall of Benevolence' has always wanted to proclaim himself benevolent, and I think he is like a tyrannical king. I think that when entering this hall, you must walk in front of the wall carving, so as to be considered in line with the emperor's wishes, otherwise you will die. ”
