Chapter 167: Candle Yin Dragon
The overall shape of the red stone carving is basically similar to the previous lapis lazuli stone carving, but the original dragon head turned into a strange face like a human face, and the body shape was still like a snake but changed from cyan to a strange blood red. But this warm color exudes the cold of the forest, and the demonic aura immediately becomes more and more obvious.
"It turned out to be a candle dragon dressed in a green dragon!"
Su Moxuan's face suddenly became more and more difficult to look at, since she entered this "underground palace" hidden in the vast mountains, she felt that this place that seemed to be like the dragon vein of the Divine Dragon Kingdom was full of strange things, and it seemed to be very solemn and sacred, but whether it was the schema on the wall or the lamp slave and other things, all of them were full of demonic atmosphere.
Now that she saw that the statue of the ancient demonic beast candle dragon was hidden under the statue of the green dragon, she finally found an answer to her previous doubts.
"Candle Dragon?"
Feng Huanling did not study much of the ancient gods and monsters, most of them were later influenced by the dragon and the cang, but for this candle dragon, he had also seen it in this ancient scroll, "According to the "Overseas Classic", 'The god of Zhongshan, whose name is Candle Yin, is regarded as day, sleep is night, blowing is winter, calling is summer, not drinking, not eating, not resting, and breathing is wind; Thousands of miles long, in the east of Wuxi, it is a thing, a human face, a snake body, red, and lives at the foot of Zhong Mountain. 'This candle dragon is supposed to be a god race, how can it be so demonic? ”
Su Moxuan nodded and said: "Yes, in the legend of this candle dragon, it is one of the ancient creation gods with the same name as Tianwu, Bi Fang, Zhibi, Zhuhai, Candle Yin, and Nuwa, also known as Candle Yin or Dragon. As far as I've heard, it was because it followed the Demon Lord and fell into the Demon Path that it became a Demon Beast. ”
Su Moxuan, who was standing in a piece of lapis lazuli shards, looked up at the candle dragon with a hideous posture, his face was solemn and his eyebrows were furrowed, "The candle dragon is said to live in the bitter cold land of the extreme north, and it should be in the Beiming Domain, guarding the demon lord who is sealed in the deepest part of the Beiming seabed. It has great ability and brutal temperament, some small ethnic groups in the north or island countries in the Beiming Sea, all worship it as a demon god to worship and worship, but in the interior of my Central Plains, most of them regard it as an ominous evil thing, how can someone use the green dragon statue to cover this candle dragon statue? ”
The question raised by Su Moxuan was also the puzzle that Feng Huanling had in his heart, how could there be a candle dragon statue hidden under the green dragon statue in the imperial mausoleum of the Divine Dragon Kingdom?
Legend has it that the eyes of the candle dragon were opened, and the long dark night became day; As soon as the eyes are closed, the day turns back to night. As soon as it takes a breath, the sky will be cloudy, and in an instant it will be winter when snow will fall; And if you exhale again, the red sun will be scorching again, and the flowing gold and stones will turn into summer.
Usually it is curled up in one place, not eating, drinking, sleeping or even breathing, just because it breathes, it causes a long wind. And its divine power is said to be able to shine under the nine springs, and at the moment this statue has a candle-like thing in its mouth, which is actually a "fire spirit".
Why did such a demonic beast that was involved with the Nine Springs Underworld appear in the Dragon Vein Treasure Mountain?
Without waiting for Feng Huanling to think about it any more, Su Moxuan quickly pushed and pressed a few times on the candle dragon statue that was as red as blood, and then there was another abnormal sound, but this time it was not that the candle dragon statue was broken and peeled off something else, but that the entire stone sculpture moved slowly, revealing a dark and gloomy entrance.
Just like when they first entered the door, when the filth inside was almost dissipated, Su Moxuan walked into the tunnel first with a long sword glowing with white light.
Feng Huanling took a delicate wind lamp in the main hall, although the light was not as bright as the spirit weapon long sword, but at least it could take a clear picture of the road under his feet and the walls of the left and right passages.
Feng Huanling remembered that the place where they entered the door was located at the top of the main peak of the Vast Mountain, and the secret path they were constantly descending at the moment was extremely deep, and it must have gone deep into the belly of the mountain, and if they kept going to the end like this, they didn't know if they would go straight to the ground.
At that time, when she thought back to the strange candle dragon statue, she felt more and more chills on her back, and her hairs stood on end, and she even had the bizarre idea that if she walked all the way to the end, she might go to the underworld.
However, this underground staircase was not as long as Feng Huanling thought, and after walking for nearly an hour, a gradually widening passage was revealed at the end of the secret staircase.
The walls on both sides of the road are painted with many murals like the previous hall, and their content is still related to the various feats of the ancestor of the Shenlong Kingdom, such as opening up the stiff and expanding the soil, and crisscrossing the battlefield, which still shows that this place is where the dragon vein treasure of the Shenlong Kingdom is located, and the emperor of the Dragon Clan, the ancestor of the royal family, should be hidden in the underground palace.
If she hadn't seen the candle dragon statue under the green dragon statue, Feng Huanling would only be more determined in her thoughts, but now no matter how vivid and real these murals are, she only feels that the more she looks at them, the more cold she becomes.
Cangmang Mountain is now located at the junction of the three kingdoms of Xuanwu, Shenlong, and Huashen, but it was once part of the territory of the Shenlong Kingdom during its most powerful period, but it was later divided for various reasons. Therefore, it is reasonable for the originator emperor to set his mausoleum here, but the candle dragon hidden under the green dragon is difficult to explain no matter what.
Just when Feng Huanling thought of this headache, the wide corridor where two carriages were already running parallel to each other also came to an end, and two more cyan boulder doors engraved with mighty dragon patterns appeared in front of them.
If the tomb robbers were able to make it here, they would be excited and frightened.
What is exciting is that after all, this is a thousand-year-old dragon vein tomb, and it is the founder of the Shenlong Kingdom that is buried, and its burial goods must be a veritable treasure. And the frightening thing is that the more rich and monstrous places are, the more dangers they often contain, otherwise mortals in the world can easily become rich and rival the country by simply robbing tombs.
But their trip has nothing to do with tomb robbing, they are full of speculation about the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, and they are worried about their children, and they have no time to take care of those wealth.
But those dangerous traps set for intruders had to be guarded against, Su Moxuan first condensed a transparent protective shield in front of the two of them, and then slapped the door open.
The moment the door was opened, a series of sharp sounds broke through the air, and countless black arrows glowing with a faint and cold light shot out from the darkness inside the door.
Feng Huanling instinctively took two steps back, but those powerful arrows stopped at the door before they could get close to her, as if time had suddenly stood still. As soon as Su Moxuan raised his hand, the poisonous arrows stuck to the protective shield landed one after another, and there was a crackling and crisp sound.
Since then, several dangers have been resolved in this way, whether it is poisonous gas or poisonous insects, which makes Feng Huanling's gaze at Su Moxuan a little more awe than usual.
"Don't look at me like that, these things that mortals can deal with are minor problems, and the things that I encounter later may not be something I can handle."
Su Moxuan is not modest, she knows very well what she is, these organs are nothing to her, if she encounters a candle dragon or other monsters, the two of them are afraid that they will not be opponents.
The two of them passed through several tombs one after another, even the burial chamber full of rare treasures did not let them stay at all, and the deeper they went down into the underground palace, the more they felt that the surrounding ghosts were full of ghosts.
At the end of the road, there was still no main coffin chamber of the mausoleum, only another secret passage to descend.
Looking at the bottomless dark descending secret passage, Feng Huanling's sense of foreboding was even better, but he still continued to descend with Su Moxuan.
She suddenly thought about how good it would be if Long Yucang could be by her side, although Su Moxuan had been doing her best to protect her, but she always felt that having him would make her really feel at ease.
It turned out that before she knew it, she was already dependent on him......
The two of them walked down layer by layer in the dark underground palace, and went straight down to the eighteenth floor, only to see a stone door that was different from before.
They were two huge black iron doors, so tightly closed that they seemed to be the entire black iron wall, and it was hard to see that they would be gates if there were no ghost-like knockers hanging from them. And the demonic aura exuded from these two huge dark iron doors was so strong that people felt that the blood veins all over their bodies were flowing out of control, and the cold qi was used from the head to the soles of the feet.
"Are we going down to the eighteenth level of hell?"
Su Moxuan, who had never experienced such a strange dragon vein in the Imperial Tomb, looked at the huge Xuantie Gate in front of him, and scratched his head in frustration.
Feng Huanling pursed his lips tightly, and first looked at the Nine Dragons coffin that finally appeared in the center of the eighteenth-layer Spirit Palace, thinking that the one who came to be buried inside was the most legendary ancestor emperor of the Divine Dragon Kingdom.
"What do you say is the origin of our progenitor emperor? It can't be related to the demon underworld, right? After death, all people look forward to ascending to heaven, how can they bury their coffins in this 'eighteen layers of hell'? Or did the people who designed this mausoleum hate him to the core, so they deliberately designed it this way to get revenge on him? ”
Su Moxuan, who prides herself on having a lot of experience, is puzzled by this, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that there was such a bizarre thing in the world.
"We have no way of knowing the truth about the life experience of the originator emperor thousands of years ago." Feng Huanling walked to the Xuantie door and slowly raised his hand to caress the door panel as cold as ice, "But I can be sure that what awaits us behind this door will definitely not be the same things that were easy to deal with before." ”
Hearing this, Su Moxuan realized that his previous words were afraid that he would be a prophecy, and said with a bitter face: "What kind of character is hidden behind Zi Ling and Leng Xiangyuan?" It can't be the Demon God Candle Dragon, right? ”
Feng Huanling shook his head noncommittally, his slender white fingertips wandered between those complicated and mysterious ancient patterns, and he was gradually numb from the cold, "Although this can't be the 'Gate of the Underworld', the demonic aura inside is only the strongest place in the human world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the gate of the underworld in the human world." Since there is a candle dragon hidden in the top hall, it is not surprising that a candle dragon will appear behind this door. Mo Xuan, that person wants to see me, you can accompany me here, if I don't go back here, at least you can go out and tell Yu Cang about this. ”
