528.The Vast Dungeon
I had equipment and food, and when I saw that there was nothing wrong with it, I said to Elizabeth, "Let's go."
With a long knife in my hand, I watched everything around me vigilantly and walked in first.
The stone door was indeed the entrance to the dungeon, and as soon as we stepped into the dungeon, under the light of the strong light above my head, we were completely shocked by the very huge scene here!
I struggled to look up and saw that above our heads was a very large dome, the shape of which blended the beauty of Gothic and traditional architecture, which was both dignified and elegant, but also ancient. It's like the broken orange building of the Sydney Opera House. My preliminary estimate is that the dome alone would be able to cover five large football fields, not to mention the buildings inside.
Although we can't see the building hidden in the darkness at this time, we can imagine that it is definitely not a small pen.
At this moment, the vast underground palace suddenly slowly lit up, and when I looked up, I saw that the light emitted by the light source was blue, and I could vaguely see the flames dancing. First one, then two, three, four, five, six...... Six lights light up in order in mid-air, giving people an eerie feeling.
I looked at the dozen or so lanterns, and found that they were placed around the underground palace, and there was a large copper pillar in the lower part, and the shape of the lamp on the top was different, but in general there were only two kinds, one was a child bending over to lead the lamp, and the other was a very hideous and ugly humanoid thing, I couldn't see what it was for the time being. The light emitted by the two lanterns was also different, the child's lamp emitted a yellow and red flame, while the monstrous humanoid creature emitted a dark blue flame, and it was much thicker. No matter what kind of flame it is, it is different from the fire we see in the outside world, and it gives people a very eerie feeling.
Elizabeth looked at the huge scene under the circular dungeon with a shocked face.
What comes into view is a very large underground palace group, among which Qionglou Yuyu, the palace Ming Tower, the astronomical altar, everything, countless. This vast ancient building complex is as high as a dozen floors, almost attached to the dome of the underground palace cover, and below the ancient palace complex is a three-story towering grand staircase, made of rare white jade marble, and the ancient palace complex seems to float in mid-air. Looking at it head-on, the palace group is right in front of us, and the vast immortal atmosphere exuded by it is not comparable even to today's Forbidden City.
I secretly figured it out, but I didn't know that the ancient palace group buried in this imperial palace was almost carved out of the same as the British palace......
Before the Europeans believed in God, the sky was round in their eyes, and now the roof of the underground palace is equivalent to the blue sky, as for the ancient palace group floating in the air, it is the owner of this tomb who hopes that he can touch the blue sky with his tentacles......
In other words, everything and every building here was built so that the owner of this tomb could ascend to the immortal palace after his death. This is the dedication to becoming an immortal, I think since this is Dracula's sealed tomb, why is there such a good building? In this case, is there something amazing hidden in it?!
I told Elizabeth about it, but Elizabeth didn't know why.
Although most of my knowledge of Britain comes from the information on the Internet back then, I also know that most of the emperors in the world are interested in the pursuit of immortality, and the most ferocious of them are the pharaohs of Egypt, except for the Chinese Qin Shi Huang.
It stands to reason that Dracula has hurt countless people, and it is impossible to enjoy such treatment, and the architecture here is better than the royal palace of England, although it resembles the British palace, and this magnanimity can no longer be described as shocking.
I was clueless for a while, and I was about to ask the big expert next to me, but I saw Elizabeth staring closely at the six ever-bright lamps that emitted a strange blue firelight, and muttered to herself: "Take the mermaid as the ointment, survive the catastrophe of the world, and use the fairy child as the lamp to welcome the emperor's ...... for ten thousand years."
"What?!" I was like a second monk, I couldn't hear clearly.
The shock on Elizabeth's face still did not fade, and she pointed to the six lamps and said, "The mermaid is what we often call the mermaid of the sea, and the fairy child refers to the ......" At this time, Elizabeth did not speak.
I once saw in ancient books that the corpse of the Jiaoren in the South China Sea can be used as an ever-bright lamp that can continue to burn for hundreds of years, and I heard that the corpse of this mermaid is also used as a burning paste in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.
The Jiaoren that the Chinese are talking about should be the European mermaid, but they have changed their name, and as for the fairy child, I don't understand what it means, Elizabeth obviously knows, but she doesn't say it. I glanced at the fairy lantern and saw that the three fairy children were both male and female, and their expressions were lifelike, and they really looked like children. My heart trembled suddenly, since the other three ever-bright lamps were made of the corpses of the South China Sea Jiaoren that I had never seen before, could these three fairy lanterns also be made of the corpses of children with some rare physique?
I suddenly felt a trembling sensation in my heart. No matter which country it is, in order to become immortals after death, powerful people in ancient times could do anything tragic and harmful, and countless people were killed.
The famous Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang in history took 700,000 laborers to build for decades, but few people survived in the end.
A famous person in the West once said that if you kill one person, you will be a murderer, if you kill 10,000 people, you will be an emperor, and if you kill a million people, you will be a god. It can be seen from here that ordinary people are not even as good as a dog for the emperor who is high above.
At this moment, Elizabeth, who was next to me, muttered, "There are six fairy lanterns here, which represent ...... It's this bloody tomb, six directions. ”
"But why do those six lamps burn on their own? It stands to reason that after hundreds of years of combustion, the oxygen density here has dropped to almost zero......" Elizabeth mused.
Although the ancient palace complex we saw at this time was very clear and seemed to be right in front of us, it was actually about 500 meters away from our feet, and we had to walk some way.
Now that I have entered the dungeon, the thing I care about the most is not far from me, maybe Elizabeth's uncle is hiding somewhere in this dungeon.
A strong urge surged over me. I took two steps forward with my long knife in my hand, and was about to call Elizabeth when I suddenly heard a sharp explosion outside!
Just before my voice fell, a very dull explosion suddenly sounded outside the dungeon, the lighter caused the big explosion of methane gas should not be over, although there was no methane in the place where we were, because it was cut off from a river, and the space outside was very large, which made the whole dungeon shake violently, and the dust on the dome kept falling, and I pulled Elizabeth to climb to a corner with difficulty, and only then did I relax a little.
It's all like a big earthquake.
To my surprise, the building of the dungeon was very solid, and the earth-shattering explosion outside did not have much impact on the dungeon, and the shaking only lasted for a while before disappearing. Elizabeth's face was very pale at this time, and she had some difficulty breathing.
"I'm afraid of an earthquake." She gasped and came back to her senses.
"After I made sure that Elizabeth and I were in safe places for the time being, I looked around to see if there was an exit to the outside, but just as I was standing up, a large hole was suddenly blown up in the rammed earth wall behind me, and the terrible force of the impact mixed with the fragments of blue bricks and rubble rushed towards me in an instant!
The mutation happened so suddenly that I didn't even expect it!
In the panic, I was hit on the head by a blue brick that came from the impact, and my head suddenly ached, and at this time, a large number of figures appeared in the dust in the distance, and I secretly said that it was not good, and at this time I immediately stood up with Elizabeth, and I said, "There is a situation." ”
Elizabeth didn't dare to slack off, and immediately raised her eyebrows, her eyes turned a little red, and she was obviously ready to enter the battle at any time......
