Chapter 209: Mingtang Heavenly Palace
Heaven is about to collapse, looking at Zhuo Mingfeng who disappeared from my sight, all that is left in my mind now is the eye-catching three-eyed unicorn tattoo on his wrist, and the whole person is completely stunned, this mysterious man, even if he left me before he died, it is still another mystery that I can't solve.
How could Zhuo Mingfeng have the sign of entering the earth's eyes, an arrogant and uninhibited person who is indifferent to other people's lives, why would he sacrifice his life to save me at the moment of life and death?
Chao Song!
The palace lord's shouting from above interrupted my confusion, and I looked up to see them standing on the top of the stone wall looking at me anxiously, Tian Ji and Bai Jin tightly grasped the yellow silk that was about to break in their hands, and not far below me, I could already see the approaching scorpion group and the bloodtail emperor scorpion.
I didn't have time to think about these completely clueless confusions, I hurriedly climbed up along Huang Aya, the only good news was that everyone else was safe and sound, but only he and Bu Dongyuan were left on Bai Jin's side, and dozens of people came in, and now only we are left.
Standing up from the ground, it was pitch black in front of him, and the torches held by Gong Jue and Tian Ji could not illuminate the endless darkness in front of him at all, Ye Zhiqiu took out the sketch and said suspiciously, according to Ling Xuan's design, above heaven should be the last and most important Vientiane Divine Palace in the Seven Heavens Building.
But we didn't see the palace in front of us, Bai Jin picked up his gun and fired a signal flare, in the blazing light, in front of us was a huge and spacious platform, there seemed to be lines on the ground of the platform, but we couldn't see what kind of pattern it was from where we stood.
"The Vientiane Shrine should be here." Ye Zhiqiu took a step forward and said anxiously. "Wu Zetian was built according to this sketch, and the Vientiane Shrine recorded in the literature is also exactly the same as the design in the sketch, but, why is there nothing here?"
I took the sketch from Ye Zhiqiu's hand, from the shape of the design of the Vientiane Shrine, there are three layers, the bottom layer is square, dignified as a seal, the middle layer is twelve deformations, covered with a round cover, there are nine dragons, the top layer is twenty-four deformations, covered with a dome and a tip, and it is decorated with a golden treasure phoenix.
Ye Zhiqiu said beside him, Wu Zetian's imitation of the Vientiane Divine Palace in Luoyang, according to records, is two hundred and ninety-four feet high, three hundred feet square, judging from the size of the heaven here, Ling Xuan's Vientiane Divine Palace is probably much more majestic, such a huge palace is an indispensable finishing touch in the Seven Heavens Building, since Ling Xuan is building the Vientiane Divine Palace according to the position of the Seven Stars, he should not lack the vital last link.
"Vientiane Shrine is built on the dragon vein, from the entrance I have been paying attention to the topography here, from the perspective of feng shui, the north-south direction of the mountain here is called the positive trend, ups and downs, hidden and peeled, the dragon momentum is extraordinary, it is a dragon." Ling Zhihan took out the compass and said. "And the key dragon den of this dragon vein is in front of our eyes, if the ancestors use the Vientiane Divine Palace to hide the trend of the dragon veins in the world, they are bound to build the Golden Palace Town Dragon Qi here."
"Vientiane Shrine also has a name in the sketch, called Mingtang, which also means heavenly palace in Taoist Mingtang." Bu Dongyuan also said puzzled. "Heaven below is the road to the Holy Land of Heaven, and it stands to reason that this should be a metaphor for the Heavenly Palace, and the Vientiane Divine Palace should be located here."
"There's a stone platform here, and things on it seem to move." Bai Jin shouted loudly next to him.
We hurriedly walked over, it was a complete astrological map, similar to what we had seen on the stone gate of the palace before, but more complicated and cumbersome, and the stars on it were not in the slightest regular staggered distribution.
"It's a trap, it's supposed to be used to open something." Gong Jue looked at it carefully for a moment and said. "It is estimated that this mechanism is related to the Vientiane Shrine."
There was a dense rustling sound behind me, and the shrill and piercing screams became clearer and clearer, and I walked to the edge of the stone wall and looked down, the heaven that we had lit was now a sea of fire, but the scorpions were about to climb up the pillars that had not yet collapsed.
The huge blood-tailed emperor scorpion, with its swift movements, is close at hand along the pillars of Babel, and there is no other way out behind us, and that mechanism may be our last hope of escape.
The mechanism is an astrological chart, now that Zhuo Mingfeng is dead, the only one who is most proficient in astrology is Ling Zhihan, I asked her and Ye Zhiqiu to stay to assist Gong Jue to crack the mechanism, and Tian Ji and I went to the stone wall to find a way to stop the scorpions.
Bai Jin and Bu Dongyuan came to help, they cut off all the yellow silk on the top of heaven and collected it, lit it and piled it up on the edge of the rock wall, Tian Ji and I threw all the pieces of wood that could be broken into the fire, and the fire was our last line of defense.
In an instant, the scorpion swarm had already attacked the top layer, rushing into the sea of fire one after another, and countless dementor scorpions were scorched in the sea of fire, but it did not weaken the attack of the scorpion swarm in the slightest, and the dementor scorpions that continued to accumulate in the sea of fire were covered in the raging fire layer after layer.
Looking at the shocking scene in front of me, my palms were full of cold sweat, and I looked back at the palace lord from time to time, the palace lord's expression was even more anxious than mine, and the mechanism had not yet been unlocked, he was anxious and kept stirring the intricate stars above.
I turned my head to look under the rock wall, I could already see the chilling blood-red scorpion tail of the blood-tailed emperor scorpion, the sharp scream from its mouth, the impact on the eardrum was extremely uncomfortable, Tian Ji stepped to the edge of the rock wall with an arrow, raised the gun at the blood-tailed emperor scorpion and pulled the trigger, although the bullet could not penetrate the hard armor of this behemoth, but the disturbed blood-tailed emperor scorpion stopped roaring.
I was surprised to find that as the screams of the Bloodtail Emperor Scorpion Monster stopped, the scorpion swarms that were desperately attacking us like crazy suddenly became confused and fled in all directions avoiding the sea of fire.
Only then did I realize that the Dementor Scorpion is naturally afraid of fire and light, and now it is attacking us completely regardless of life and death, all because of the trend of the Bloodtail Emperor Scorpion, no wonder this thing is called the Overlord of the Sand Sea, and it actually has the ability to control the scorpion swarm.
"Tian Ji, aim at the Bloodtail Emperor Scorpion, don't let him make a sound." I said loudly to the field chicken.
Tian Ji comprehended, shot the blood-tailed emperor scorpion one shot at a time, Bai Jin and Bu Dongyuan next to him, continued to add wood to the fire, the fire that was about to be extinguished by the scorpion group gradually grew larger again, and the scorpion group that was close at hand was in a mess, and there were signs of starting to retreat.
The blood-tailed emperor scorpion probably also sensed that the scorpion group was beginning to break away, raised its head and let out a long roar, and a piercing strange cry resounded above the heavens, and in an instant, the chaotic scorpion group was like an evil spirit, and suddenly resumed its previous madness, and once again rushed towards us wave after wave.
Tian Ji fired several shots, the blood-tailed emperor scorpion no longer resisted at all, and climbed up against the field chicken, seeing that he was about to rush to the field chicken, just without bullets in the gun, the blood-tailed emperor scorpion that had climbed the rock wall waved a terrifying giant pincer, and quickly went to the field chicken's body tongs.
Tian Ji reacted faster, but he only advanced and did not retreat, throwing away the gun in his hand, I saw him clench his fists again, and roared at the blood-tailed emperor scorpion and punched out.
Bang!
I heard a dull crashing sound, Tian Ji dodged around to avoid the giant pincers, and hit the giant pincers of the blood-tailed emperor scorpion with a heavy punch, the power of this punch We have seen, its fist is powerful and heavy It is said that it can break the bridge with one punch, and Tian Ji used this punch to kill Qi Poor in front of us.
The blood-tailed emperor scorpion let out a low howl from its mouth, and I saw that on the pitch-black hard armor that couldn't even be penetrated by bullets, there was a clearly visible fist mark, and the blood-tailed emperor scorpion estimated that it had nothing to fear by relying on the indestructible hard armor on its body, and now it was hit by a blow from Tian Ji, shaking his head and roaring angrily at Tian Ji.
The sharp sound pierced the eardrums with a faint pain, and the scorpion group under the rock wall suddenly became more and more crazy, the upward attack became more and more violent, and the air was filled with a disgusting scorching stench, I suddenly found that in a large area of Dementor scorpions killing each other and biting each other, the body of the bitten scorpion flowed fluorescent body fluids, and the thing dripped into the sea of fire, and the fire immediately weakened.
There are hundreds of millions of Dementor Scorpions under the rock wall, and they use this method to extinguish the entire raging fire of Heaven in an instant, and I am secretly shocked in my heart, obviously the Bloodtail Emperor Scorpion was completely enraged by the field chicken, and will do everything to let the scorpion group attack the heavens.
Tian Ji tried his best with this punch, although he injured the blood-tailed emperor scorpion, but he didn't have much reaction, but I saw that Tian Ji's clenched fist trembled a little, presumably the hard armor was too hard, and the hard blow made him feel severe pain and unbearable.
Tian Ji hesitated slightly, the huge scorpion tail of the blood tail emperor scorpion had been split from above like a shock, fortunately, Bai Jinyan was quick, rushed over and pushed Tian Ji away, the blood red scorpion tail penetrated the rock wall vigorously and heavily, and a deep crack spread from the place where the scorpion tail fell to heaven.
Yikes!
A powerful gas erupted from the rift, and when the Bloodtail Emperor Scorpion pulled out its tail, the crack spread along the rock wall of Heaven with a constant click, and those pungent gases also rushed out of the rift.
Standing on the rock wall, I was dumbfounded to see that the majestic and magnificent carvings of the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, as well as the golden and brilliant heavenly pagoda began to crumble and collapse, just like the Buddha country immortal saint fell from the nine heavens, the heavens suddenly shook the mountains, and most of the scorpions that were about to climb up fell with the collapsed heaven.
"Gas!" I smelled the gas that filled the air, and this gas contained in the rock was not only poisonous, but also ignited by the slightest fire, and judging from the pressure of the gas gushing from the rock wall, the large amount of gas contained in the rock wall of the entire Vientiane Shrine would be blown to pieces in an instant if it was ignited. "Extinguish the torch."
I shouted loudly as I extinguished the fire on the rock wall, when I suddenly heard a crisp sound from the side.
Click!
The voice came from the palace jue, I looked over, the palace jue, Ye Zhiqiu and Ling Zhihan should have already opened the mechanism, and the three of them took a step back together.
Suddenly, there was a deafening roar overhead......
