Chapter 5: Turtle Fairy Island

Longzai recognized the statement of the egg, the construction of this palace must be interconnected, which is built by Tang Xuanzong for the beauty and for the ascension of immortals, which must be different.

He continued: "In the 19th year of Kaiyuan, the mysterious fairy island appeared in Penglai, which is now a mirage, and it happened that fishermen found a huge turtle at this time, with an estimated lifespan of more than 10,000 years. This kind of coincidence happened to be used by the person who asked for immortals, saying that this was an auspicious omen, and it was a sign that God had arranged for Tang Xuanzong to become an immortal. And the old emperor in his seventies and eighties was originally superstitious, so of course he believed it, so he began to build this sea palace. ”

Although Danzi understood the general meaning, he felt that what Long Zai said was quite good, and inserted a few supplementary words in the middle, but was slapped back by Long Zai. Continue the sermon:

"Of course, it was not easy to build this palace, and it was necessary to catch the turtle and build on its back shell, and not to kill the turtle. I tried everything I could, and all the sides of the turtle were fixed with wood, and a shape similar to a pot lid was built out of wood, but it was built upside down, retaining a certain amount of buoyancy; And took the corals from the bottom of the sea, and put all the seaweed on top of the wood. After continuous construction, all the seaweed and coral are submerged under the water, and the turtle's head is cleverly covered in it, but it will not affect its normal breathing, that is, it is equivalent to pressing the tail into the water, and the head can be lifted to breathe and eat. The dragon boy added his own imagination in the middle, which made the egg listen more devotedly.

"After several years of construction, the Sea Palace was finally built, but at this time, Yang Guifei had died under Ma Weipo, and Tang Xuanzong was also in pain and did not think about the country's politics. The country is plunged into an unprecedented crisis of war. I added this paragraph myself! Long Tsai coughed, brushed his hand at the position of his beard, and behaved like a storyteller.

"It's pretty good to make it up, it's like listening to a novel." Danzi is still energetic at this time, presumably listening to what else is below.

"This is the end of the story! Want to know what's next? Let's listen to the next breakdown. ”

When Danzi heard this, he was annoyed. When you are listening to the excitement, how can you let it go, pinch and beg for a while, and the expressions on your face are colorful.

I really can't make trouble, Long Tsai still thought about it and then said:

"After all, the content of the mural is the content of several years of construction, and it is not exhaustive. So I added a lot of it myself. Glancing at Danzi, Danzi held his chin with both hands, nodded vigorously, and said, "Listen to nonsense."

"Alright! Later, Tang Xuanzong finally died in the case of internal and external troubles! Tang Suzong was filial after all, so he buried his father and his mother in this sea palace, and since then he has lived the life of an immortal family, and the story is over here. ”

"You are pure nonsense, the ending must be with Yang Guifei, aren't you kidding!" Danzi looked disdainful.

"That's not right, it's written like this in the TV series! But you want to! Tang Suzong is in power, of course, he wants to put his father and his mother together. Besides, Yang Guifei has been dead for many years, and her body has been buried in the imperial mausoleum on land in advance, how can his son dig her out again, put her on this sea immortal island again, and bury her anew! You're right? ”

Danzi scratched his head, pondered for a moment, and said:

"That's right! Although it's nonsense, it also makes sense, the country is in a mess, who is still in the mood to put his dad and his little lover together, and no one can stand it! And then later! ”

"Later, thousands of years of seaweed and corals grew normally, and the wood had long since decayed and hollowed, and it had long since become a hollow and unsinkable reef island, and then we came here!"

"What about the tortoise, is it dead?" Danzi suddenly became interested in this.

"Who knows? I'm afraid only a turtle can know! ”

Being reminded by Danzi like this, Long Tsai also thought of this unsinkable sea island, which is simply rare in the world, a rare in the world, but no one knows about it. If it is really discovered, not to mention surprised, there are quite a few investors alone. Maybe another fairy island tourism development will be developed, and then I don't know what it will be like here?

Thinking of this, suddenly the whole island shook, and the roof fell some dust from time to time, as if it was about to collapse.

"The earthquake is coming, run!" Egg exclaimed.

"You M, take a good look! Here is the back of a turtle, how can there be an earthquake! If there is an earthquake, it can only be ......" Long Tsai paused as he spoke, thinking that it was rare that this thousand-year-old turtle did not die.

While they were talking, there was actually another thing going on. At this time, the captain of the ship, Nuo Ye, was in danger, and because of the fierce battle with the guardian beast on the island, he accidentally touched the mechanism, causing the thousand-year-old turtle to wake up, thus triggering this "earthquake". But Egg and Dragon Boy don't know.

"I was scared to death just now, I thought there was an earthquake!" Danzi was shocked and sweated.

"If only there was an earthquake!" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed a crack in the wall. The mural was divided into two halves due to the appearance of the crack, and the two men did not pay attention to the mural, but found that the direction of the crack was very regular.

As a rule of thumb, the obvious cracks are the entrances and exits, which means that the exits were artificially sealed and covered with frescoes.

But there is a crack at the entrance of the cave, which does not mean that you can enter it immediately, so Long Tsai and Danzi used a sapper shovel to smash the crack hard, and with pieces of dirt and gravel falling off, at this time there was an entrance and exit about one person high and two meters wide. Perhaps it was the passage of time and the violent shaking that caused the entrance and exit of the earth to loosen, because the other locations were made of stones, so there were gaps in the two places.

After this toss, other dungeons were soon discovered. According to the frescoes, this magnificent building could not be the only one, so there must be other places that have not yet been discovered.

"Dragon Boy, let's go in and have a look!" Eggzi asked cautiously.

The dragon boy didn't make a sound, and followed the egg into another dungeon by default. The eggs shine around with a flashlight to see if anything is unusual.

"Wow! It's a big dungeon, and it looks like we're just staying in the 'elevator shaft' position. "The 'elevator shaft' described by the egg is officially the entire underground palace with a lot of space around it, and the position that has just entered is just like the entrance, which seems very small.

turned around and patted the dragon boy, "Look, this is the real palace!" How magnificent! ”

The dragon boy didn't speak, and continued to draw something in the notebook.

"Let me see, what are you sorting out?" Eggs leaned over and looked at what was drawn in the notebook.

"I just remembered that we have traveled a lot along the way, and if we don't record it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go back! When the time comes, there will be no life back! The dragon boy continued to draw without raising his head.

"Don't say it, it's really, what if you can't find your way back?" Egg mutters quietly and continues to turn on the flashlight, looking for anything to take with him.

After turning around, there was nothing, all of them were the same as the Jinluan Hall that had just entered, there were a lot of things, but there was nothing to take away, or they were basically fakes.

"Long Zai, you said that this palace is too shabby! Nothing, some are useless. "In the eyes of the egg, something good must be valuable.

"I just studied this map carefully, and I didn't understand it until I finished it, but now it seems to be a little eyebrow-raising!" Long Tsai continued to stare at the book.

"Tell me about it!"

"After reading this sketch, I roughly understand that this island is a turtle island, but based on the distance traveled, we should currently be in the middle of the left side of the turtle's back, and according to the height difference, the current position is at least 15 meters higher than the previous position."

"Don't tell me the numbers, can you say something that people understand!" The egg rolled its eyes.

"That is to say, there is an underground palace at our feet, and the whole island is an underground palace, understand!" Long Tsai explained simply and clearly, "The construction of the palace, from the foundation, must be all stones, according to the height of the ancient four meters and one floor, we are currently on the fourth floor above the turtle shell, and the stairwell you mentioned just now suddenly reminded me that maybe the stairwell is really the staircase up and down." ”

"That means we haven't found Tang Xuanzong's tomb yet?!" Egg was a little surprised.

"Suffice it to say that at present, building on a turtle shell is like a casserole in reverse; It is built layer by layer, and the ground is undulating, which should be set up according to the Luoshu Nine Palace Diagram in the Bagua Array. And the position of each battle represents a different position, there are also dangers and the real location of the tomb owner. So Tang Xuanzong is in one of the places in this gossip array! Long Tsai pointed to the notebook and said.

The altitude, route, and location are recorded in the booklet, and the height represents the form of the hexagram array according to the position that has been walked before, and the approximate height is marked at each position, which is the height of the floor.

Danzi didn't understand it after reading it for a long time, tilted his head, and said to the dragon boy:

"I don't understand this, can you explain it a little clearly, just speak in the vernacular!"

"In fact, it is the yin and yang gossip diagram, in which each number corresponds to a hexagram, and each hexagram corresponds to a direction." Long Tsai pointed to the number on the notebook, and then said,

"According to the innate eight trigrams: one represents the Kan hexagram, located due north; The second represents the kun hexagram, located in the southwest; The three represent the trigram, which is located in the east; The four represent the Xun hexagram, located in the southeast; Five represents the Middle Palace; Six represents the Qiangua, which is located in the northwest, and seven represents the hexagram, which is located in the west; Eight represents the Gen hexagram, located in the northeast; Nine represents the departure hexagram, located in the south. ”

Danzi heard a dizziness and didn't know how to feel it, but he could also hear some eyebrows, and according to the gossip map, he didn't have to look around, and he wouldn't get lost.

At this time, Long Ziyou said: "The ground is not a layer, and the current height is 15 meters, which is the fourth in the eight trigrams, which is the southeast in the hexagram." ”

"Then let's go directly to the middle palace, and we can find the center of the palace, so what are you waiting for, hurry up and see how to get there." Now there is a sense of direction, and the egg is a surprise.

"But?" Long Tsai looked puzzled.

"But what, don't ink, hurry! Time waits for no one! The egg urged.

"But even if we knew where it was, we wouldn't find it!"

"Why can't I find it?" Danzi asked impatiently.

"Because I just know the direction, facing this huge palace, where do we get in, is there a mechanism inside, can we get out. With just the two of us, it is difficult to open the imperial tomb completed by 10,000 people! ”

Now the two of them are in a difficult situation, whether to continue to move forward or give up halfway. Neither of them spoke, each thinking about something.
