The wooden door of the palace was knocked out of a large hole more than a meter wide by the hard head of the overlord salamander, which saved everyone the trouble of opening the door. Su Rui took a look at the edge that seemed to be broken like a jagged tooth, and found that this wooden door, which was more than three meters high and more than two meters wide, was more than half a foot thick, and if it wasn't for the overlord salamander to "help" them, they really couldn't get in for a while.

Su Rui touched the stubble at the crack of the wooden door, put it to his nose and sniffed it and said: "It's Nanmu, this kind of wood is hard and corrosion-resistant, it can knock such a huge Nanmu door like this, you can imagine how amazing the strength of that monster is." ”

The thrilling scene just now seemed to be right in front of her, if it weren't for Zi Yang throwing Su Rui away, the Overlord Salamander might have knocked her to pieces.

"You saved my life again!" Su Rui looked at Zi Yang and said gratefully.

Zi Yang nodded expressionlessly: "Well, let's record it in the account." ”

Lao Wang stretched out his head to look inside, and jumped into the cave by the mouth.

"Be careful, I don't know if there's any mechanism in there." Su Rui reminded him.

The reckless old Wang is now only thinking about the baby in his heart, how could he listen to Su Rui's words, and muttered: "This place is thousands of years old, and all the organs are rotten, I'm afraid of a bird!" ”

Just as he was about to step forward, Zi Yang said coldly behind him: "It's okay, pull him, let him go in and give us a ride, and we'll go in after he has stepped on all the mechanisms." ”

This sentence really had an effect, Lao Wang's body trembled, hesitated and retreated, turned to look at Ziyang and said, "You kid is using me as bait again?" Did you just deliberately let that monster chase me? ”

Zi Yang was dazzled by his diving lamp, stretched out his hand to cover his face and said, "Idiot, don't shine on me!" Look inside! ”

Lao Wang turned his head and looked into the hall, the inside of the hall looked empty, the light of the diving lamp was relatively dim, and it was so dark that he couldn't see the things inside.

Su Rui took out two head-mounted LED lithium battery miner's lamps from the waterproof bag and handed them to Ziyang, one for each of them on his head, and then turned on two tactical LED flashlights and handed one to Lao Wang. Under the strong light, the structure inside the palace can be seen in full view.

Lao Wang stared at the sky with wide eyes, and shouted a long voice in his mouth: "Lie - groove." ”

This tall and magnificent palace is twenty or thirty meters high, and it is surprising that there is a delicate and small palace inside the palace - it is only relatively small to say that it is small, and the small palace inside is also about ten meters high and twenty or thirty meters in diameter.

"What kind of building is this? What an evil door! Lao Wang muttered.

Zi Yang thought for a while and said, "This should be the Yin Palace, built according to the pattern of the tomb. The big hall on the outside is equivalent to a coffin, and the small hall inside is equivalent to a coffin. The outer hall is supposed to protect the inner hall. ”

Lao Wang craned his neck and looked at the sky and said, "What a waste of wood, there is no wind or rain here." What's the point of making such a heavy big cover outside? ”

Zi Yang glanced at him: "There is no wind or rain, but there may be a lot of snakes, insects, ghosts or something." ”

Lao Wang shrunk his neck at what he said: "Don't scare Lao Tzu at night!" ”

"The plaque on it seems to have words!" Su Rui reminded.

The three of them put the lights on the small palace directly above, only to see a one-meter-square plaque above the palace, on which are written in three strong big characters: Eternal Life Palace!

"Immortal Palace...... "Old Wang muttered in his mouth, "The master here is quite straightforward, why doesn't he call it Banzai Palace." ”

"There's something next to it!" Zi Yang swept around the hall with a light, and saw that there were some shrine-like buildings embedded in the inner walls of the main hall, one every ten meters or so. There seems to be a word on the tablet inside, but it is much smaller than the plaque on the main hall, and it is far away, so it is not easy to see.

"Let's take a look!" Lao Wang said eagerly. Just wanted to step forward and stopped, hesitated for a moment, picked up a piece of wood from the ground that was broken by the overlord salamander, tied it with the safety rope on his body, tried the weight in his hand, and said triumphantly to Su Rui and Ziyang: "Look! I'm calling it a wood to ask for directions! ”

Lao Wang carried the rope and walked around the plank a few times, shouted "Hi", and threw the plank far away.

The heavy plank rolled on the ground a few times, and everyone held their breath, and after a while, seeing that there was nothing unusual, Lao Wang pulled the plank back with a rope, and then threw it to several different positions, and nothing happened.

Judging from the sound of the wooden planks hitting the ground, the ground was also covered with wooden planks, but it was covered by a thick layer of dust.

"Damn, if this whole palace is made of wood inside and out, then it will have to cut down a mountain to be enough, right?" Lao Wang looked up along the wall, and everywhere he could see was layers of heavy wood. The load-bearing pillars are all fit thick.

"Qinhan Village is surrounded by dense primeval forests, and it is very convenient to use local materials. However, the whole palace is made of nanmu material, which is exaggerated enough! Su Rui stretched out his feet and took a few steps forward, tiptoeing, feeling the wooden plank underneath him be unusually hard.

Everyone walked slowly along the root of the wall, and finally came to the first shrine, only to see that this shrine is also more than two meters high, the outside is finely carved, there is a tablet nearly two meters high inside, the top is engraved with the word "bath" in regular script, the color is mottled below, it is conceivable that there were some exquisite words and patterns painted on it, and it was gradually eroded by the wind in the long passage of time. Only the fist-sized word "bath" was left, and it was counted into the wood.

"What do you mean? Is this a bathhouse? Lao Wang pouted and studied for a long time, and asked curiously.

Zi Yang shook his head and continued to walk forward, about ten meters later, there was the same shrine again, but this time the words engraved on it were "crown belt".

Lao Wang touched his chin and nodded repeatedly: "That's right, this is a bathhouse in ancient times, you see that after the front of the bath, the back starts to get dressed - the words on the next plaque don't need to look at me to know what it is, it must be 'pinching shoulders'!" ”

The three of them continued to move forward, and the third row was not engraved with the words "pinching shoulders", but with the words "Linguan". Lao Wang gasped and touched the back of his head, "This, this is not a routine!" ”

Zi Yang didn't say a word, stepped forward, after the three tablets of "bathing", "crown belt" and "Linguan", they were "Diwang", "Decline", "Sickness", "Death", "Tomb", "Absolute", "Fetus" and "Raising".

The whole palace is circular, and there is a shrine of the same kind every ten meters, and it goes around and returns to the hole at the main entrance, exactly eleven words.

", the first few tablets are normal, at least a little human! Why did it get more and more scary later? What kind of broken temple is this? Lao Wang shrunk his neck and looked left and right, no longer having the arrogance he had at the beginning.

Zi Yang lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "This palace is built according to the pattern of Ziwei Doushu, and the shrine is dedicated to the twelve gods of immortality. ”

Lao Wang blinked: "Lao Li, are you having your head caught in the door?" There were only 11 tablets just now! ”

"That's right, the first god position is also the last god position, which is immortality!" Zi Yang raised his arm, stretched out his hand and pointed to the huge Immortal Palace in front of him, and said with a solemn expression:

"The Twelve Immortals are a group of stars in Ziwei Doushu, including twelve stars, also called the Twelve Signs.

Ziwei Doushu uses twelve palaces to represent a person's birth, old age, sickness and death, as well as the course of his life. It also contains a law of cyclic reincarnation.

The ancients believed that the five elements parasitize in the twelve signs, and the process of each of the five elements from growth to death in twelve months is what we see: longevity, bathing, crown belt, Linguan, Diwang, decay, illness, death, tomb, neuterization, fetus, and nourishment.

In Ziwei Doushu, the material world is equal to 'qi', and 'qi' is composed of 'yin' and 'yang', and yin and yang are divided into five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, and the five elements are derived from the 'ten gods' that represent people's good fortune, misfortune, wealth, food, wounded officials, partial wealth, positive wealth, seven killings, positive officials, partial seals, and positive seals.

In ancient times, it was believed that the world was composed of the five elements of yin and yang, which were mutually reinforcing and infinitely circulating, constituting the material world in which we live.

Ziwei Doushu studies the balance system between man and the universe through the five elements of yin and yang, ten gods and twelve palaces, and pays attention to the unity of heaven, earth, people, things and things, which is called 'the unity of heaven and man'. ”

After Ting Ziyang introduced these, Lao Wang was dumbfounded, and only after half a sound did he say: "You mean that these shrines next to them are the Twelve Palaces of Immortality?" Then why are the other eleven palaces the same size, and this Immortal Palace is so big? ”

Zi Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know, probably because the owner who built this palace hopes that he won't have to fall into reincarnation, and can live forever." ”

Lao Wang nodded, "I understand, the eleven palaces in front of me are all worthless wooden tablets, which are not as grand as the doors of this Eternal Life Palace, it seems that this Eternal Life Palace is the most important, and there must be a lot of treasures hidden in it!" ”

Zi Yang looked at Su Rui and said to Lao Wang: "The more important the place, the more dangerous it is, are you sure that we will go over with our bare hands?" ”

Lao Wang shook the wooden board in his hand, "What danger are you afraid of?" Shouldn't we be able to ask for directions? If you're afraid of death, hide behind me, and I'll help you block it in front of you if you have any flying knives. ”

"Then you'll have to find a bigger plank." Su Rui said seriously.

Lao Wang looked at the wooden board in his hand, which could barely cover his stomach, if there was really any crossbow mechanism, he was afraid that he would not be shot into a hedgehog.

"Wait a minute!" Lao Wang pulled out the dog-legged scimitar and ran out like a fly.

Zi Yang and Su Rui looked at each other, what is this guy crazy about?

Su Rui shook his head, turned to the god seat where the "nourishment" was offered, and took a closer look to see if he could find something in the mottled paint on it.

After a long time, Lao Wang rushed back with a deck-like thing.

"I'm dizzy, are you going to eat?" Zi Yang covered his nose and frowned and said, Lao Wang emitted a foul smell, like crawling out of a dung pit. It was so smoked that Ziyang took several steps back.

Lao Wang showed off and raised the huge shell in his hand, which seemed to be dripping with dark green juice, "This is the head shell of the Overlord Salamander, this guy can knock through the half-foot-thick wooden door, and there is no problem with using it as a hidden weapon or something, right?" ”

It turned out that Lao Wang had just run out and pried off the skull of the overlord salamander.

Zi Yang looked at the huge skull bone that Lao Wang held in his hand, don't say it, it's really a natural shield, and it's a shame that Lao Wang can figure it out!

Su Rui looked at Lao Wang in surprise: "How did you get such a big piece of skull?" ”

"You don't know that, do you? Our old king has killed pigs before, and it is a piece of cake in his eyes! Ziyang's words make it impossible to tell whether they are sarcastic or praised.

Lao Wang opened his mouth and was stupidly happy, and he didn't seem to mind the foul mucus on his hands at all.

Su Rui struck the skull bone with a dogleg scimitar, and the sharp blade only left a shallow white mark on it.

"The hardness and thickness are sufficient, and the bullet may not be able to penetrate it."

"It's done, then let's go now, brothers and sisters, follow behind my old king, rush !!"

Lao Wang held a huge shield in front of him, walking in front of him with one foot deep and one foot shallow, Su Rui and Zi Yang followed closely behind him, and the three of them slowly approached the main hall.

Two meters in front of him were the two closed gates of the Eternal Life Palace.
