Chapter 198: Tianji Palace

Exploring the secrets of the Vientiane Divine Palace, for me, is no longer just to save Ye Jiuqing, in this palace complex, there may be clues hidden that can allow me to solve the mystery, no matter what, I must know the real reason and intention of Ling Xuan to build this place.

Just in case, I still want to destroy Lu Qiao's tomb, erase the bizarre bloody handprint on the rock wall, and then return to our resting place with Gongjue and Tian Ji, lying on the ground and unable to sleep, my mind is full of those unsolvable fogs.

Groggy and woken up by the general, we couldn't stay here for too long, and after a short rest, we began to continue deeper into the Vientiane Shrine.

This time it seems that the journey seems to be much smoother than before, the black gold corpse armor and Qi Qi behind him have not yet pursued, and there are no other dangers along the way, the military uses the hourglass he carries with him, and after walking for about half a day, we see a palace appear at the end of the heavenly street.

In addition to being as tall as the Dizong Palace we saw before, this palace looks even more exquisite and gorgeous from a distance, Ye Zhiqiu took out the sketch of the Vientiane Divine Palace and told us that this is the Tianji Palace, corresponding to the Tianji Star in the Big Dipper.

In the Big Dipper, Dimensity is a human being and represents power.

The entrance to the Tianji Palace was also closed by a huge stone gate, with the same copper plate mechanism as the Dizong Palace, with the previous experience, the palace lord put the bronze mirror into the stone gate, and once again it was another star map that was bright in front of our eyes.

Ling Zhihan quickly recognized that the jade that represented the shining stars was the one that represented the Taiweiyuan Heavenly Region, and the palace lord quickly restored the star map of Taiweiyuan on the copper plate of the stone gate, and the huge and heavy stone gate opened in response, and after we closed the stone gate, the hanging heart was put down, at least for the time being, there was no need to worry about being chased and killed by the black gold corpse armor and Qi Poor.

We can settle down and rest in the Tianji Palace, but in order not to repeat the mistakes of the past, the general asked Bai Jin to remind his people that they must be trampled on by mistake and mess with the things in the palace.

Tian Ji found the fire trough used for lighting in the palace, and after lighting it, as the firelight illuminated the whole palace, we looked at everything in amazement, which was completely different from the empty Dizong Palace, which was full of carved beams, which were exquisite under the light.

And the extremely luxurious Tianji Palace layout is quite spacious, with a three-entry three-story hall layout, we are now in the first hall, how to look at it here is like a royal palace, and even gorgeous and excessive.

In the center of the main hall is a Sumeru seat, on which is placed a platform that glows in royal blue in the light of the fire.

We walked cautiously over, the table I don't know what material it was, it had the texture of jade to the touch, but it was cold, and there were human-shaped grooves on the table, which looked like a bed.

"There used to be people sleeping here." Gong Jue stretched out his hand and slowly took out a long hair from the table.

It was a woman's hair, but the strange thing was that in such a dry underground, this hair did not dry up, as if it had just fallen, and it still maintained its elasticity and luster, the last time the Vientiane Shrine was opened was more than three hundred years ago, how could there be such a well-preserved long hair in this stone platform.

"Who would sleep in this place?" The field chicken squirmed and looked around and said. "It's not comfortable to fall asleep on this hard platform."

"Dead people don't mind." I squatted on the table and looked at it for a long time.

"Dead people?" Ling Zhihan was puzzled.

"The front end of this table is large and the back end is small, in the shape of a ladder, and the ornamentation on it is customary for coffins in the Tang Dynasty, this is not a bed, but a coffin made of unknown material." Ye Zhiqiu also saw the clues.

"Who will put a coffin in the Vientiane Shrine and bury whom here?" Bai Jin asked.

"The builder of the Vientiane Shrine." I frowned and slowly stood up, looking at the long hair in the palace lord's hand and replied. "The only one who can sleep here forever is Ling Xuan."

"Since the ancestors were once buried here, what ...... Then why don't you see the remains of your ancestors? Ling Zhihan was excited.

"No, it's not going to be a corpse again." Tian Ji scratched his head and looked helpless.

Gong Jue and I understood the meaning of Tian Ji's words, in the Kunlun Golden Gate, we found no corpses in the ice coffin, if we extrapolated from time, Ling Xuan should have been sleeping here for a thousand years, but now the body is gone, in the gloomy underground palace, it is indeed a little weird.

"We weren't the first people to come here, hundreds of years ago, people from Dongchang opened and entered the Vientiane Shrine, maybe these people took the remains inside." Ye Zhiqiu said thoughtfully.

"Lu Qiao can record so many documents in great detail, which shows that he is an extremely rigorous person, in the record of the Vientiane Divine Palace, he wrote very clearly, and there is only one lord who comes out in the end." Gong Jue shook his head and denied Ye Zhiqiu's thoughts. "This shows that at that time, those people didn't take anything from the Vientiane Divine Palace, at least they didn't take Ling Xuan's body."

"Judging from the hair found, Ling Xuan is indeed resting here, since it wasn't taken away by those people, where did Ling Xuan's body go?" The general asked with a solemn face.

I glanced at each other with Gong Jue and Tian Ji, the same problem, we have already faced once in Kunlun Jinque, judging from the inscription left by Ling Xuan, the last sentence is.

Xuan waits here.

I firmly believe that Ling Xuan is waiting for someone here, it is very likely that Ling Xuan has waited for the person she is waiting for, and this person has taken Ling Xuan's body, this is the most reasonable explanation.

But for me now, the whereabouts of Ling Xuan's body didn't seem to matter, and I walked around the platform several times, then took a few steps back and stared intently.

"What did you find?" Gong Jue asked.

"How do I feel, as if I've seen this table somewhere?" I tried to remember.

"You've seen it?" Tian Ji's eyes lit up, and he walked up to me and whispered. "Let's just say I'm not wrong, you look familiar with this thing, because you've been here."

I stared at Tian Ji and didn't bother to pay attention to him, definitely not the kind of déjà vu he said, but I was pretty sure that I had seen this table somewhere.

"When?" Gong Jue stood beside me, looked at the platform, and asked me seriously.

"It shouldn't be too long, and it's a place I'm familiar with, but I can't remember anything." I say.

Ye Zhiqiu heard me say this, and also looked carefully for a long time, and gradually I found that her expression changed from dazed to shocked: "Do you still remember...... The dark room under my dad's room ......"

"Ye Jiuqing!" I slapped my head suddenly, no wonder I couldn't think of anything, because I hadn't thought about it at all, after all, it was difficult for me to associate Ye Jiuqing with this place anyway.

We found a dark room in Ye Jiuqing's room, and in the dark room, in addition to those maps that made me completely unfamiliar with Ye Jiuqing, there was also a strangely shaped platform, which was the same as the one in front of us, shining with a royal blue light, and on the platform, the body of Ye Zhiqiu's mother Ling Xi was placed.

The platform was exactly the same as the one in front of us, but because Ling Xi was sleeping for a long time, we couldn't see the structure inside the platform.

"How can the shopkeeper have the things in the Vientiane Divine Palace?" Even the general, who had always been calm, was shocked.

I suddenly touched my head and laughed weakly, I helped Ye Jiuqing think of a lot of possibilities, for example, this is a strangely shaped coffin in the Tang Dynasty, Ye Jiuqing accidentally got it during a tomb robbery, and then no, this rare coffin has been lost for a long time, and it just so happened that Ye Jiuqing knew that it was specially built for Ling Xi.

But I've been trying to avoid the most likely reason in my mind, because I really don't dare and don't want to believe in this result.

Why does Ye Jiuqing have the things in the Vientiane Divine Palace.

Because he's been here and taken what's inside......

I laughed not because of the absurdity of these explanations, but because I was almost mad, and I still had no idea how many secrets were hidden in this mysterious palace.

The Vientiane Shrine was last opened before us more than three hundred years ago, and we can be sure that no one in the middle of it has ever entered.

If so, then when did Ye Jiuqing come here?

I didn't know what else I could do except for a weak wry smile, and it seemed that the more things we came into contact with, the more unbelievable I found them, and I had begun to try to get used to thinking without my brain, because I couldn't figure out everything at all, and I couldn't find the answer.

And those who can solve all the puzzles for me, but at the critical time, disappeared without a trace, I want to know from Zhuo Mingfeng, why the fingerprint ornament he wears, appeared in the cave three hundred years ago, and Zhuo Mingfeng disappeared.

Now that he wants to know how the things in the Vientiane Divine Palace appeared in Ye Jiuqing's dark room, I am afraid that only he can answer this question, but everything we are doing now is to save him.

I looked at the general, he quickly shook his head, his expression was very resolute: "Don't look at me, just like you, I also know, when the shopkeeper is rescued, you go and ask him yourself." ”

I still only laugh, it's like a mystery that can never be solved, I never know where the beginning is and where is the end, I have been in this mystery loop endlessly, there is never an end.

"Let's not care how there are things from the Vientiane Divine Palace in the dark room of Shopkeeper Ye, this also shows one thing." Gong Jue frowned and said in surprise.

"What's the matter?" I asked, rubbing my forehead.

"The Vientiane Divine Palace was built by Ling Xuan, you said, she is waiting for someone here, so it seems that Ling Xuan is the only one who stays in the Vientiane Divine Palace in the end, if so, there should only be one platform." Tian Ji said.

"It's a rare thing, this time you're finally reacting quickly." Gong Jue patted Tian Ji on the shoulder and said with a smile.

The smile on my face suddenly froze, this platform is obviously a coffin, which is used to place the body, just as Tian Ji thought, there should be only one such platform in the Vientiane Shrine.

But in Ye Jiuqing's dark room, there is a platform that is exactly the same as what we are looking for, which means that in the Vientiane Divine Palace, there is not only one platform.

That is to say, in the Vientiane Divine Palace, in addition to Ling Xuan, there are other people who sleep for a long time!
