Chapter 186: The Nakshatra Mechanism

The wall of fire in the distance has become more and more dim, and the black and gold corpse armor is covered by thousands of corpses to cover the raging fire, I estimate that it will not last long, and the black wave will sweep again, and at the same time, the gums on both sides of the heavenly street have made a cracking sound, and the strange beasts that have been sealed in them are ready to break out at any time.

Now we have no thought of trying to resist except to rush forward desperately, and in the face of the surging black tide of death and the brutal and bloodthirsty army of fierce beasts, any resistance is futile.

I asked Tian Ji and Gong Jue to support the generals who were a little powerless, and protected behind Ye Zhiqiu and Ling Zhihan, running without looking back, and heart-rending screams came from behind one after another, and those who ran a little slower would be slaughtered.

Fortunately, I finally saw the end of the Heavenly Street, and in the distance was a towering palace, which was the second building in the Seven Heavens Building, the Dizong Palace.

It was the first time I had seen such a huge palace, built entirely on the pattern of the underground cave, just embedded in the rock mountain, looking like an insurmountable pass from a distance, and the golden light shining around the palace in the firelight outlined the golden outline of the Dizong Palace.

This is the unique light of gold, the Dizong Palace is actually dyed with gold lacquer, don't you say what is in this palace, to use gold paint to paint the entire outer layer of the palace, how much gold is used, I don't dare to imagine at all.

But now that we are exhausted, it is estimated that no one cares how much gold there is, the walls of the Dizong Palace are unattainable, if we can enter smoothly, it will be difficult for those black gold corpses and Qi poor behind us to climb up.

But when we ran to the city wall, a huge and extremely closed stone gate blocked us out, and everyone tried their best to push it open, but the heavy stone door did not move.

"Get out of the way." Bai Jin told us to back off and said to his people. "Blow the stone door open."

"Can't be fried!" The palace lord hurriedly stopped, and his hand was still pressed on the stone door. "Judging from the width of the city wall here, this stone gate is dozens of tons, and it is useless to blow it up from the outside, and the mountain rock here is brittle, and once the explosives blow up the foundation, it is extremely easy to collapse."

"There's something on the stone gate." Ling Zhihan quickly lit the torch, and in the firelight, we saw countless circular grooves of different sizes in the stone gate, inlaid with various colors of jade, irregularly staggered.

Outside the stone door is a movable copper plate, which spreads outward from the middle, tightly seams, one by one, and the grooves that dislike jade are distributed on the copper plate, which looks a bit like a compass.

Gong Jue touched it with his hand, and with a slight sliding, these copper plates could actually rotate back and forth, and as the different copper plates moved, the position of the grooves inlaid with jade also changed.

"This seems to be a mechanism...... Gong Jue frowned, took a step back, and looked at the copper plate on the stone door. Only when these copper discs are turned to the correct position will the stone door be opened. ”

"Tian Ji, follow me!" The general raised his gun and shouted, although the general was physically exhausted, but he still had a resolute face, he and Tian Ji organized a line of defense behind us, and then looked back at us. "Ten minutes!"

I understand what the general means, he and Tian Ji can only help us delay for ten minutes, this weak and useless line of defense is the only thing he can do for us.

If we can't crack the mechanism on the stone door within ten minutes, we will only be dead.

"I'll give you another ten minutes." Bai Jin's voice was heroic, he picked up his gun and stood with the general and Tian Ji, and then asked his people to immediately blow up the fire trough, lead the leaking crude oil to the heavenly street, and after igniting it, a wall of flames wrapped us in an arc.

"Is there a way?" I asked the palace lord.

He looked at the stone gate with a stern gaze for a moment, and said with certainty: "This should be a complete ancient astrological map at the beginning, and the various colors of jade inlaid in the grooves above represent the stars in different directions. ”

Gong Jue tells us that the ancient constellations consisted of three walls, four images, and 28 constellations, which were used to represent the position of the sun, moon, and five stars, and each constellation contained a number of stars.

Among them, the three walls are Ziwei Yuan, Taiwei Yuan, Tianshi Yuan, these three walls are used to divide the heavenly area, and then there are four elephants, that is, the green dragon, the white tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Xuanwu in metaphysics, which represent the four directions of east and west, north and south, and each elephant is divided into seven sections, called Su, and is 28 Suku in total.

"That's easy, since you know it's an astrological chart, it shouldn't be difficult to recover." Ye Zhiqiu said.

"The direction is different, the time is different, the stars that appear are completely different, there are thousands of stars on this stone gate, if you can't determine the direction and time, you can never want to restore the original star map." I can guess why the palace lord looks so anxious.

"There are seven stars in the sky and seven heavens on the earth, and the Vientiane Shrine is built in the direction corresponding to the seven stars of the Big Dipper." Ling Zhihan thought for a while and said. "Then the star chart here should also be related to the Big Dipper."

"That should be Ziweiyuan." Although I am not proficient in astrological signs, I sometimes use the astrological signs to determine the location of the tomb chamber when visiting tombs, so I know a little bit.

Ziweiyuan is the middle wall of the three walls, living in the center of the north sky, so it is also called the middle palace, with the North Pole as the center, the east and west two domains have a total of fifteen stars, the two bows are combined, surrounded by a wall, and the Big Dipper is just in the Ziwei wall.

He knows the most about the stars, and the first is of course Zhuo Mingfeng next to us, but until now, he has no intention of helping, but fortunately, Ling Zhihan, who is studying metaphysics, also knows the stars by heart, and walked to the stone gate and quickly rotated the copper plate above.

I turned my head to look at the defense line formed by the general behind me, the black and gold corpse armor had already arrived in the city, and countless hideous and terrifying Qiqi Qi Qi had also broken through the gum, and the momentum was approaching us.

The general lowered the gun in his hand, took out the cigarette and skillfully rolled two cigarettes, handed them to Bai Jin beside him, the two of them lit it without fear, and held it on their lips with indifferent expressions, it was not the first time that these two people had experienced life and death.

The general is old, but I have never seen his twilight back bent down, and I always feel at ease with him standing in front.

Ling Zhihan raced against time and quickly reassembled Ziweiyuan's imaginary diagram on the stone gate, but the closed stone gate did not move at all.

"That's not right." Gong Jue looked at the two stars in the astrological chart that were symmetrical and shaped like precious jade. "These two are known as Liehu in the astrological signs, and they are one of the nineteen star officials of Tianshiyuan, and they should definitely not appear in the star map of Ziweiyuan."

Not only the list discovered by the palace lord, but Ling Zhihan and I also found many stars on the star map on the stone gate one after another, and many stars that should not have appeared.

"Did I misspell it?" After Ling Zhihan hesitated and anxiously checked, his expression became even more dazed. "That's right, this is indeed Ziweiyuan's star map, why is there such a big deviation?"

"It's not a deviation at all, it's your preconceived ideas." Zhuo Mingfeng was beside him, and his voice was indifferent. "When you see the stars, you think of the star map, but the thousands of stars on this stone gate are irregularly distributed at all, you correspond to the Ziweiyuan star map, it looks like it is, but in fact, the wind and horses and cows are not related."

"At this juncture, don't just say you won't help." I looked at Zhuo Mingfeng anxiously and said. "So what do you say you should do?"

"Hurry up, the fire can't stand it." Tian Ji shouted loudly.

I saw that outside the wall of fire was already full of strange beasts standing back and forth, all of them were irritable with fierce eyes, their mouths let out a continuous low roar, and the sharp teeth exposed were chilling, and the black and gold corpse armor bypassed Qi Qi and rushed desperately into the sea of fire, countless corpses were piled up on the wall of fire, and those feared monsters did not stop at all, and continued to crawl towards us along the corpses of their companions.

Even the raging fire was unstoppable, and it looked like it was about to be extinguished by the black gold corpse armor.

"The star map is chaotic, and if you don't find a star that you can locate, even standing here for thousands of years won't help." Zhuo Mingfeng said.

"Positioning...... "Gong Jue seemed to understand something, and hurriedly walked under the stone gate." With so many intricate constellations, it's hard to piece together the right Nakshatra unless you first find a definite constellation, which is centered on the North Star, which is an eternal and immovable constellation. ”

When Gong Jue said this, he immediately asked Ling Zhihan to come to the compass, the Vientiane Divine Palace was facing north and south, and it was extremely easy to distinguish the direction, Gong Jue relied on the compass and corresponded to the stars on the stone gate, and sure enough, he quickly found the first star in the north.

"Why is this place empty?" Ye Zhiqiu looked at the place where the palace lord touched, there was also a circular groove, but unlike other grooves, there was no jade inlaid on it that represented the stars.

My fingers ran around the inside and felt smooth around the grooves, like something should be placed inside.

"The people from Dongchang and the mysterious lord have been here, and Lu Qiao recorded that although there were all casualties in the end, only the lord escaped with his whole body." Ling Zhihan said worriedly. "Could it be that when he left the Vientiane Shrine, the lord took the things on the stone gate?"

"This is the key to opening the stone gate mechanism, if that's the case, then ......" Ye Zhiqiu licked his lips and looked at me. Then we won't be able to open this door at all! ”

"No matter what this thing is, since it is a jade symbol of the stars, the North Star is the brightest star in Ziweiyuan, and what was once set here should be an unusually bright jade." Gong Jue racked his brains and said.

"Extremely bright...... I frowned, and hurriedly asked Ye Zhiqiu to take out the bronze mirror she brought out from the stone room outside the Jade Gate.

Behind the bronze mirror is a luminous black jade, I slowly put the copper mirror into the groove, the size is just right, with a click, the copper mirror is tightly closed and the groove coincides, I twist it a little harder, the luminous ink jade behind the copper mirror suddenly shines with a bright and dazzling light.

We subconsciously took a step back, and watched in surprise at the jade stones on the stone gate one after another, reflecting each other with the black jade representing the North Star in the middle.

Bang!

There was a gunshot behind him, and there was already an unbearable Qi Poor who passed through the wall of fire, and was hit by a shot by the general, and the corpse just suppressed the fire, and in an instant, the black gold corpse armor swarmed along Qi Poor's corpse.

Gong Jue hurriedly turned the copper plate according to the shining jade, and quickly turned the copper plate to re-assemble the star map of Ziweiyuan, when the outermost copper plate was moved to the correct position, the bright jade on the stone door was magically connected by the light before, and a complete astrological map was presented in front of our eyes, and even Ye Zhiqiu could recognize the constellation she was familiar with from above.

In a loud roar, the stone gate was split in two from the middle and slowly opened, I hurriedly beckoned the others to enter immediately, after the general calmly decided, Tian Ji and Bai Jin were standing beside him, seeing that the wall of fire was about to be extinguished, the extremely agile beast Qi Qi Qi and the black gold corpse armor that converged into a stormy wave immediately rushed towards us.

Dizong Palace is the only barrier we have now, this stone gate must be closed in time, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable, I took off the bronze mirror from the star map, the huge and heavy stone door immediately closed quickly, and at the moment when the monster behind us rushed to the front, we stepped into the last gap of the stone gate.

There was a continuous sound of impact outside, through the thick stone door, you can also hear the climbing sound of the black and gold corpse armor, these monsters are no matter how ferocious, I think I can't help such a thick stone door, I have been engrossed in it and didn't pay much attention to it before, and now when the hanging heart falls, I find that the back leaning on the stone door is full of cold sweat.
