Chapter 125, Xia Dynasty Star Palace (2)
Tang Yao didn't know what age this underground space was excavated, and he didn't know who excavated it, but here he saw a scene far beyond imagination, the underground space that should have been pitch black, but there were flashing points of light, and these points of light appeared more and more, and finally densely spread all around Tang Yao.
Tang Yao kept descending, and the points of light passed over his head, and he looked at it and found that one of the points of light was actually a rotating luminous sphere, and this sphere was very much like a planet in the universe.
Tang Yao made this discovery and immediately looked at the other points of light, and sure enough, the other points of light that appeared in Tang Yao's eyes would be found to be all glowing planets if he looked closely, until at this time, when Tang Yao looked at the entire underground space and the points of light shining in front of him, he was surprised to find that what he saw was the universe.
The lifting platform continued to descend, but Tang Yao was blinded by the universe in front of him, everything here looks so dreamy, for every teenager, the sky represents freedom, and the universe represents the unknown mysteries, Tang Yao still remembers that when he was very young, he once picked up a discarded starry sky projection lamp, he secretly took a few dollars from his father to buy two batteries, although he was found by his father and beaten badly, but that night, he was covered in the quilt, in that small world, he had his own starry sky.
Unfortunately, this toy is not sturdy, and after a few uses, it was completely scrapped.
The starry sky he saw when he was a child was nothing compared to the universe in front of him now, and here, Tang Yao had a feeling of being in a dream country.
The lifting platform sank to the bottom at this time, and the headless war spirit continued to grab Tang Yao's head and drag it forward, but Tang Yao did not resist this time, and even looked at the cosmic starry sky that was about to go away with some reluctance, and soon, all the light in front of him disappeared, and the headless war spirit led him into a pitch-black passage, the surroundings were very quiet, the ground was not hard and felt like sand, and his back made a rustling sound when the ground rubbed.
The darkness passed quickly, and the white light began to shine on Tang Yao's face, and he looked up and looked around, at this time, it seemed to enter a very open underground space, and the walls were inlaid with bright white stones, and the light emitted by these stones converged, illuminating this place as if it were day.
The Headless Battle Spirit let go of his hand, Tang Yao slowly got up from the ground, patted off the dust on his body, and then subconsciously moved a few steps to the side, widening the distance between himself and the Headless Battle Spirit.
The headless battle spirit pointed to a place, Tang Yao followed its finger to look, only to find that there was a huge stone door not far from him, with Tang Yao's height of one meter eight standing under the stone door, it looked extremely small, and in the center of the stone door there was a protruding disc, he could see that there was a groove in the center of the disc.
"What is this place?" He opened his mouth to ask the Headless Battle Spirit, but the other party didn't answer at all, but retreated to the side of the cave wall step by step, and then the white light flashed, and it turned into gray smoke and disappeared in front of Tang Yao's eyes, leaving Tang Yao alone here.
Tang Yao wandered around for a while, and found nothing, now there are two ways in front of him, either return the same way or find another way out, Tang Yao doesn't want to take risks, who knows if this door can be opened, and even if it can be opened, he doesn't know what is waiting for him inside, and returning the same way is the safest, after all, the corpse craftsman and the ancient corpse monster have been killed, he just goes back to the ground and calls for reinforcements.
After thinking about this, Tang Yao immediately began to return the same way, and walked into the dark tunnel, but he didn't get out of the dark passage after walking for more than ten minutes, he remembered that he was dragged forward by the headless battle spirit before, and he only walked in the dark tunnel for a few minutes, it stands to reason that he should have returned to the lifting platform by now.
Continuing to walk forward, Tang Yao silently calculated the time in his heart, and walked for nearly half an hour, but it was still in the dark, at this time Tang Yao finally understood that the dark tunnel here should be an illusion, he couldn't get out even if he walked for a day, and it was likely that he walked for nearly an hour, and finally he was still spinning in place.
Tang Yao, who understood this, slowly turned around and headed in the opposite direction, this time after walking for a few minutes, he saw a white light coming in from outside the tunnel, and he quickly returned to the strange gate.
Looking up at the groove on the disc on the door, the shape of the groove seemed to be very similar to the dragon pattern, he hurriedly took out the dragon pattern he carried with him from his pocket, held it up and compared it, and sure enough, as he expected, the two patterns were almost the same in appearance.
"The Que Dragon Pattern is the key to open the Tomb of the Dikui Dragon, is this the entrance to the Tomb of the Dikui Dragon?" Tang Yao guessed in his heart, and that groove was the place where the dragon pattern was embedded, that is, the keyhole of the Dikui Dragon Tomb.
Now that he can't get out, there is no other way out, Tang Yao feels that it is better to open the Dikui Dragon Tomb directly, maybe there is a way out in the Dragon Tomb, but he still has some concerns, the Dikui Dragon Tomb does not need to guess to know that it must be very dangerous, he is not strong now, and his physical strength is overdrawn and injured, will he die in it after rashly breaking in, and there is the most direct problem in front of him, the groove is at least more than three meters high from the ground, and there are no tools such as ladders here, even if he wants to open the Dikui Dragon Tomb, he is afraid that he will not be able to reach it.
Tang Yao sat down cross-legged, lowered his head and pondered, and after a while, he decided to find a way to open the Dikui Dragon Tomb, although it was dangerous, it might be a way to live, it was much better than being trapped here, now that he had made a decision, then he had to find a way to inlay the dragon pattern on his hand into the groove.
Observe the surroundings carefully, the surrounding cave walls are relatively smooth and difficult to climb, and Tang Yao is not a good hand at climbing walls, there are a lot of protruding lines on the door, if you are careful, you may be able to grasp these lines and climb up, but now Tang Yao's physical strength is not enough, and he still needs to recover.
Sitting down against the wall of the cave, he raised his head and could see the white glowing stone flashing in front of him, he reached out and touched it, the stone was cold, he tried to buckle the stone off, but it was very firmly inlaid, and then turned his head to look at the protruding pattern on the door, Tang Yao made a new discovery.
There were also many strange patterns on the stone plate on the ground before, engraved with the headless war spirit and the strange snake that had attacked Tang Yao, in fact, Tang Yao didn't understand this, if the headless war spirit was an illusion deliberately left by the builder of the Dikui Dragon Tomb, it would be understandable that it would appear here, but the strange snake was made by the corpse craftsman by the method of creating corpses, why did its image appear on the stone plate hundreds or even thousands of years ago?
At this moment, the pattern on the underground gate also seemed to echo the stone plate on the ground, and Tang Yao looked at all the patterns on the gate, and was surprised to find that these carved patterns seemed to tell the same story.
Roughly speaking, I don't know what era, there is a very powerful general, for a certain period of the emperor killed many monsters, these monsters have mountain spirits and monsters, and even some similar monsters that Tang Yao saw in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", his actions made him gain a very high reputation among the people, but the emperor felt that the general threatened him, so he asked him to kill three very terrible dragons, the emperor thought that the general would die under the claws of the dragon, but he didn't expect the general to return victorious and bring back three dragon heads, This move made his position in the hearts of the people even greater.
The emperor finally made a decision to kill, he set up a banquet for the general to ask for merit, but poisoned the wine, the general was poisoned and surrounded by countless soldiers, but he was still invincible in martial arts, and finally the emperor asked the wizard to summon the dead soul of the evil dragon, and the souls of the three evil dragons attacked the general for revenge, and finally took off the general's head, but even so the emperor still did not let him go, he let the general who lost his head guard the emperor's mausoleum built for himself, which is endless.
Tang Yao roughly deciphered the story carved on the gate, and he soon realized that the headless battle spirit might be the general in the story, who was killed by the soul of the evil dragon and lost his head but had to stay here to guard the tomb of the emperor, in other words, the owner of this tomb of the earth dragon was the vicious emperor.
Tang Yao felt that he was almost rested, so he got up and approached the gate to climb, but at this moment, an earth-shattering roar suddenly came from the gate, and the frightened Tang Yao's face changed greatly and quickly retreated more than a dozen steps, his face was full of shock.
