It stands to reason that the Han Dynasty can be regarded as the head of state that destroyed the ancient Dian Kingdom, but I saw that Sheng Shiyao's words were flat, and he didn't have too much grudge against Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so I couldn't help but be slightly strange. Suddenly, he was arrested, "The Dian Kingdom is not destroyed by the Han Dynasty, it is the Dian Kingdom itself that has a lot of shortcomings in its rule, the whole country believes in witchcraft gods, and there is an advanced bronze culture but never wants to forge ahead, and the country will perish." However, after the Han Dynasty incorporated the Dian Kingdom under its banner, it did not get any benefits. ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? "Because it was from the era of his previous life, and the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty himself also had a profound image, so I was very interested in listening to him tell the stories behind those histories.

The corners of Sheng Shiyao's lips showed a hint of sarcasm, but his voice was flat: "Liu Che himself is already obsessed with seeking immortals from the Tao, and in order to attract immortals, he patrolled everywhere and built palaces, spending a lot of money. After that, the "auspicious rui" gifted by heaven and earth continued to appear, the sky descended unicorns, and the earth produced Baoding, so Fang Shi guided him to communicate with the heavens. Legend has it that after the Yellow Emperor sealed Zen in Mount Tai, he rode away on the dragon and reached the realm of immortality and immortality. After making long-term preparations, he also began to climb the journey of Fengzen, trying to imitate the Yellow Emperor and turn into immortals.

These things sound ridiculous now, but they were sensational at the time. It is said that the puppet is not guilty, and he is guilty, and the Han Dynasty peeped into the witchcraft and wealth of the Central Dian Kingdom, but they didn't know that after the witchcraft was brought back, it caused the palace to fight frequently, and almost subverted the regime. In another sense, it can be said that the Han Dynasty included the Dian Kingdom under its banner and lit a fire that burned into the court. ”

In other words, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stealing chickens and rice is not a recipe for rice, is this considered a fire? But this is also related to himself, if he does not believe in the Tao and seek immortals, how can he spy on other people's witchcraft. Therefore, everything has a cause and an effect.

Things come back to the present, what should be the solution of this gossip with the ninth house? Sheng Shiyao said that the most important thing is to solve the nine palaces, as long as the corresponding nine palaces can find out the rules each time, you can break the secret of this heavenly altar. I can't help but think, in fact, Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty is not all incapable and deceitful monks around him, there are still masters, such as the person who set up this heavenly altar, he must be proficient in occult arts.

Because Bagua with Nine Palaces is not only to solve the Nine Palaces diagram, but also to correspond to the direction of the Eight Diagrams, and the Bagua changes at any time, it is extremely difficult to calculate. I don't understand the mystery, I can only watch Sheng Shiyao walk back and forth busily to inspect the calculus, watching him walk calmly and calmly, his eyebrows are sometimes frowning and sometimes unfolding, I really feel cool and handsome.

Time passed minute by minute, and when the gossip in the middle suddenly spread out in all directions, the corners of Sheng Shiyao's mouth curled. I immediately got excited, ran up to take a closer look, and saw that the original gossip position revealed a groove, and suddenly the whole cave began to brighten, because there was a stone tray in the middle of the groove, and a very small stone box was placed above the stone support, and there was a maroon bead in the box, about the size of a coin, and around the chassis of the stone support, there was a golden dragon, and then from the golden dragon's mouth spit out a fist-sized night pearl.

It's a sight to behold!

In ancient times, the dragon symbolized the emperor, which was indeed the heavenly altar set up for the Han Emperor, but from the outside, I did not find the mechanism of the spring, I don't know what the principle of the stone plate rotation is. The gaze can't help but stare on the maroon bead, with a slight luster, from the meaning of the ornament, the golden dragon spits the beads below, the beads are on the top, obviously there is a meaning of worship, is that the maroon beads mean the gods?

"No, that's Qin Yundan."

What Dan? I turned my head to look at him blankly.

"Emperor Qin is the first person to seek the elixir of life, Xu Fu took a thousand boys and girls to the sea to find Penglai Immortal Island, but never returned, and then the first emperor found a Yan man named Lu Sheng, he is a monk specializing in cultivating immortals, this time sending Lu Sheng into the sea to seek immortals is different from Xu Fu, Xu Fu is to find the elixir, and this time Lu Sheng entered the sea to find two ancient immortals, one is called "high oath" and the other is called "Xianmen". According to legend, these two immortals once refined the elixir for the first emperor, and named it after Qin as the elixir, that is, Qin Yundan. ”

I didn't know whether to laugh or what, so I pointed to the maroon bead and asked, "You mean this is the elixir?" ”

He glanced at me and gave me a blood-vomiting answer: "I'm just guessing." ”

I was choked up, and I really wanted to bury him: the guess is still true. And what kind of elixir, if it is really refined, why is Qin Shi Huang still dead? Don't tell me that if you die, you will become an immortal.

At this time, Sheng Shiyao said again: "Although it is speculation, there is some basis. Because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty advocated the elixir, so the exploration of Qin Yundan has never stopped, to the later period there are rumors that Qin Yundan is maroon, slightly larger than marbles, but it is also divided into several grades, upper, middle and lower three grades, judging from the color and transparency of Danzhu. And the real immortal product must have a faint halo and a fairy aura. The one in front of him, if it is really Qin Yundan, then it is an immortal product. After 2,000 years of refining and absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, even if it cannot make people immortal, it will definitely prolong life. ”

I looked at the Danzhu with suspicion, and I didn't agree with his opinion, no matter what pill has a shelf life, this pill has been in place for two thousand years, can it still be within the shelf life? Don't live forever, eat the dead.

Sheng Shiyao sneered at me: "How can you always have these fallacies? Nothing can be taken for granted, and many things themselves are free from the conventions of nature, and it is better to believe in what they have than what they do not be. Regardless of whether this Qin Yundan is valid or not, keep it first. After saying that, he took out a white handkerchief from his pocket, climbed up the stone platform, carefully approached the stone tray in the middle, and took out the Danzhu and the stone box through the handkerchief.

I saw that his expression was solemn and rigorous, and I didn't dare to complain more, and when he looked at it carefully for a while, carefully closed the stone box, and then wrapped it in a handkerchief and put it in his pocket, he was about to turn around and come back, but something strange happened. First, the stone disk he was standing on suddenly sank, and the stone plate that had been rotating at a standstill began to rotate rapidly. Luckily, he was quick to jump down, pulling me back many steps.

The golden dragon in the groove also rotated rapidly with the stone plate, and the night pearl became more and more transparent because of this, illuminating the cave as if it were day. Sheng Shiyao frowned tightly and said in a deep voice: "Strange, obviously there is no scraping sound, how can it be so?" ”

At the same time, I suddenly heard messy footsteps coming from the only passage, Sheng Shiyao's eyes flashed, and he pulled me behind the altar and hid myself underneath. Soon the sound of footsteps entered inside, and when someone spoke, I was startled, it was Yang Wenhao.

"Yu, the sound of the stone mill we heard seems to be this!"

My heart sank, and Zhuang Yu also came? Was it Zhou Tong and Liuzi who were found outside? And Zhuang Yu didn't make a sound, but he heard an exclamation, it was Jian Ningyi. A few people moved, listening to the sound of the argument should have reached the periphery of a few bones, if they went a little further inside, they might see us. It should be the white bones that caused Jian Ning to scream, they are not as dark as when I came before, but now the cave is open, and it is easy to find the skeleton on the ground.

At this moment, Zhuang Yu, who had always been silent, finally spoke up, but he shouted: "Come out!" ”

Sheng Shiyao bent the corners of his lips, pulled me up, and saw three people standing on the opposite side of the altar, it was Zhuang Yu, Yang Wenhao, and Jian Ningyi, and they all showed surprise in their eyes when they saw us appear. Zhuang Yu's face was dark, "Why are you here?" ”

I felt a little strange when I heard him say this, didn't I already know that we were here from Zhou Tong? Why are you still surprised? Sheng Shiyao's eyes turned slightly, and instead of answering, he asked, "How did you get in?" ”

Zhuang Yu groaned slightly, but still said. It turned out that he was directing the people to clean up the aftermath at the berth of the ship, but he found that the people who had dived to the bottom of the ship to repair had not come up for a long time, and asked them to go down to investigate, and they said that there was no one at the bottom of the ship. The captain counted the number of people, and there were indeed five or six people who went into the water to repair the hole in the bottom. So Zhuang Yu ordered everyone to push the ship aside, revealing the empty space at the bottom of the boat, and found that there was a whirlpool underneath, and the origin of the whirlpool was because there was a hole in the rock in the shallow area, which produced a strong suction, so as to speculate that those people might have been sucked into the hole when they went down into the water.

He decided to go inside alone, but once he entered the mouth of the whirlpool, he couldn't help himself. When he entered the room, he found that there was a lot of space, but after walking out for a long distance, he didn't find a few missing people, and he felt that something was wrong at that time, and immediately turned around, only to find that the hole he had entered before had disappeared.

Hearing this, my heart was open, and he, like me, had also encountered a spatial rift. It's just that he said that he came down alone, why are Yang Wenhao and Jian Ningyi here? Soon solved the puzzle, it turned out that Jian Ning rushed to the steamer after waking up, and found that Zhuang Yu had no message after entering the cave, and he didn't see him come out after waiting for a long time, so he decided to go into the whirlpool cave to look for it, Yang Wenhao was not worried that she would go down alone, and secondly, he was also very anxious about Zhuang Yu's delay, so he went down with Jian Ningyi.

As a result, they encountered the same encounter, but fortunately, they met with Zhuang Yu, but they never got out of the maze-like rift. Until just now, the originally quiet atmosphere suddenly heard the sound of stone grinding, which led them here.

Basically, it was already certain that they were in another rift layer before, and they did not belong to the same space as us, but it may be because Sheng Shiyao cracked the mystery of the Bagua Nine Palaces, and then took Qin Yundan, which caused the full operation of the stone plate, so that the three of them entered this layer of space from that rift.

I couldn't help but think, at first, would the rift they were in be the one that Sheng Shiyao and Zhou Tongjin had entered before? Or is there actually more than one rift in this space, and three or more layers can be created from this magnetic field, so it's not fun, and the maze is easier to walk than this.
