Chapter 188: The Nine Dragons Treasure Ship
I was completely immersed in an overlook of astonishment, until the palace lord tugged at my collar, and I looked at him suspiciously, and the palace lord, with a somewhat stiff expression, only nodded to me in the distance.
I followed his gaze a little dazedly, and then the whole person was like an electric shock, my fingers shook inadvertently, and my mouth slowly opened wide enough to reflect the shock at the moment.
All the people in the palace who raised their heads seemed to be imprisoned, no one moved or spoke, and the Dizong Palace, which was now lit by the warm jade of the peacock, was almost suffocating.
Maybe it's because the peacock warm jade is so wonderful that I forgot that there is a menacing dragon in this palace, but now it is not a dragon problem.
Nine dragons shining with golden light in the light, soaring above our heads, nine flying dragons in different postures, some with teeth and claws, a little left and right......
Behind the flying dragon, it is rumored that there are eighty-one dragon scales on the dragon's body, and on the back of the dragon covered by dragon scales, two wings are spreading, which has the potential to cover the sky and the sun.
My trembling hand hesitated for a moment, I removed the necklace from my neck, opened it and slowly lifted it, my eyes fell on the pattern in the necklace, and then I took a deep breath and squirmed at the corners of my mouth.
Feathered Dragon!
The nine flying dragons in the Dizong Palace are exactly the same as the feathered dragons in my necklace, we have seen this pattern countless times, and it is gradually a little troublesome, and there is nothing strange about the dragon with wings, at least from the pattern of the necklace, it is not so shocking.
But now when I saw the nine flying feathered dragons with my own eyes, I was completely stunned, I couldn't tell whether it was excitement or panic, it was difficult to describe the scene of the nine dragons flying into the sky in words, only an inexplicable awe and humility.
Just like Bai Jin, who is kneeling upright on the ground now, his mouth is as big as my eyes, and there is no longer the usual pride in his wide eyes, but only speechless shock.
I never expected to see a feathered dragon here, and suddenly my previous fear was completely replaced by humility, and I walked towards the nine feathered dragons with reverence in my arms, and it was not until I stood underneath the feathered dragon that I realized that this was not a living feathered dragon.
It is just a masterpiece of wood carving, and the dragon has a fine white jade scale armor, and the whole body is whitewashed with gold lacquer, just because the carving is ingenious, so that the feather dragon looks lifelike as if it is alive.
"How can there be a feathered dragon in the Vientiane Shrine?" The palace lord stood beside me, puzzled.
"The Gusu Ling family has inherited the tattoos of the feather dragon for generations, I have long guessed that the Ling family and the feather dragon are inextricably linked, but I didn't expect that Ling Xuan would place the feather dragon wood carving in the Dizong Palace." I shook my head and said.
"Why is Ling Xuan hanging nine feathered dragons in the palace for no reason?" Tian Ji scratched his head and asked.
Bang dang!
The palace was too quiet, and the sudden sound startled all the people who were completely immersed in the shock, and I saw the general in the front, the gun in his hand fell to the ground, and the general's back looked like an evil spirit, and I saw his low-hanging hand shaking.
The general has dug graves all his life, I have never seen any thrills, but I have never seen him like this now, I hurriedly walked over worriedly, until I saw the expression on the general's face, it was not fear, but an excitement that was difficult to calm.
The general raised his trembling hand and wiped the beard around the corners of his mouth, he must have been too excited to know what to do.
We turned our heads to look at the place where the general was staring, and at a glance, the palace lord and I were all dumbfounded, just behind the nine huge wooden carved feathered dragons, and the thick iron chains were firmly fixed to the feathered dragons' bodies.
And the other end of the chain was embedded in a huge hull, it was a very ancient ship, it was bigger than we could have imagined, and it was only now that I understood why Ling Xuan would build such a huge Dizong Palace, because only a large enough space could accommodate this astonishing giant ship.
The magnificence of the ship is even more amazing, the hull wrapped in white jade, the periphery is inlaid with pure gold ornamentation, under the glow of light, shining with a refreshing golden light, the brilliant gems embellish it, and the brilliant outline of the giant ship is outlined in the brilliance.
"Moon Palace Nine Dragon Boat!" It took a long time for the general beside him to say these words in a trembling voice.
A treasure ship pulled by nine flying dragons soaring in the night sky......
I can still remember the first time I heard the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace from Ye Jiuqing's mouth, for this unbelievable rumor, for a long time, it was not that I refused to believe that it really existed, but that it was difficult for me to convince myself to accept this bizarre ship.
Until I saw the giant ship in front of me, I wasn't really sure about the authenticity of the Moon Palace Nine Dragons, after all, who would believe such unreasonable rumors.
But now I was completely speechless in shock, there is really a treasure ship that can soar in the sky, the Moon Palace Nine Dragons Boat does exist, I slowly looked down at the peacock warm jade under my feet, the azure light is like the sky in the night.
Suddenly realized Ling Xuan's good intentions in designing this Dizong Palace, she used the peacock warm jade that would only be bright in the dark to lay the ground, standing here as if she was in the sky, and the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace pulled by the nine feathered dragons seemed to be really soaring in the night sky.
We stood in the palace, and we could feel the magnificence and majesty of the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace when they swept across the night sky, and suddenly felt a little regretful, how good it would be if Ye Jiuqing could stand here, he had been chasing the whereabouts of this treasure ship all his life, and I didn't know what kind of mood he would feel when he saw the giant ship in front of him.
"This is not the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace!" The palace lord's cold voice interrupted my emotion.
I looked at each other with Gong Jue, and soon my thoughts regained clarity, and I woke up from the shock, this is the Moon Palace Nine Dragon Boat, but unfortunately, as the Palace Lord said, this may not be the real Moon Palace Nine Dragon Boat.
Inside the Dizong Palace were nothing more than nine wooden carved feathered dragons, suspended by ropes in the towering palace, and the huge ship behind it, although gorgeous and indescribable, was after all just an ordinary ship built between the wooden pillars of the palace.
We have been to the Kunlun Golden Gate, and the secret room we saw on the top floor of the Golden Gate was much larger than the Sect Palace, it was just a dock, a dock used to dock at the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace.
A giant ship that can be moored on the top of Kunlun Mountain, it seems that these nine wood-carved feather dragons can't be pulled, and the real Moon Palace Nine Dragons Boat may be bigger than we imagined, and the giant ship in front of us is just a microcosm.
"How could Ling Xuan know about the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace?" The palace lord frowned and said, "She specially built the Dizong Palace, just to place the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace, what is her purpose?" ”
"Are you sure Ling Xuan built the Vientiane Divine Palace to hide those three unknown dragon veins?" I looked at Zhuo Mingfeng, who had been silent.
He nodded without saying a word.
"Why did the ancestors hide these three dragon veins?" Ling Zhihan asked.
"Whoever gets the dragon vein also gets the world." Zhuo Mingfeng's voice was indifferent.
"Win the world!" Ling Xuan was taken aback, still puzzled. "Since the ancestors have been legacious, the Ling family has fulfilled their duties and has no quarrel with the world, since the ancestors have a noble dragon vein in their hands, why not leave it to the descendants of the Ling family?"
"What? Until now, do you still think that this Vientiane Divine Palace and those three dragon veins are reserved for the descendants of the Ling family? Zhuo Mingfeng sneered and said meaningfully.
Zhuo Mingfeng is right, judging from all indications, everything Ling Xuan did should have another purpose, the Ling family has always inherited the secret of the Vientiane Divine Palace, Ling Xuan does not want future generations to find this place, but just wants the Ling family to continue this secret.
Ling Xuan left clues in the hope that one day, this place can be opened, but it will definitely not be the descendants of the Ling family, but at least one thing I am sure of is that Ling Xuan hopes that this person who can understand the clues she left and find the location of the Vientiane Divine Palace can finally see the majestic Moon Palace Nine Dragons Boat in this Dizong Palace.
Ling Xuan seemed to be delivering some kind of message to this person.
"This is the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace?" Ye Zhiqiu frowned and asked me seriously.
"As rumored, it should be." I nodded.
"You said that in the Ice Palace of the Yellow Emperor of Kunlun Jinque, you saw the dock of the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace." Ye Zhiqiu pondered for a long time. "This Vientiane Shrine was built in the early Tang Dynasty, and the Yellow Emperor period was in the early Tang Dynasty...... There are thousands of years in between, so that's not right. ”
"What's wrong?" I hurriedly asked.
"The ship is not in the right shape." Ye Zhiqiu raised his hand and pointed to the giant ship hanging in the palace and said.
Ye Zhiqiu told us that from the hull of the giant ship, the flat joint technology of diagonally piercing the iron nails is adopted, and the transverse compartment in the ship can be clearly seen, which is the unique hull structure of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and at the same time, from the height of the hull, there should be four floors, and the ship is built with a building, and such a ship is called a building ship.
"Most of these hulls were designed from the Sui and Tang dynasties, and some of the construction techniques can only be traced back to the Han Dynasty at the earliest." Ye Zhiqiu said to us in a low voice. "If you are sure that what you see is a dock in the Kunlun Golden Gate, then the giant ship we see now is absolutely completely different from the real Moon Palace Nine Dragon Boat."
I immediately reacted that the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace first appeared in the Yellow Emperor period, which means that this ship could not have appeared in the shape of a ship in the Sui and Tang dynasties.
"Could it be...... Ling Xuan only knew about the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, but she had never seen this bizarre ship with her own eyes, and the giant ship she had built here was only built according to her vision. I was taken aback and said.
"This shows that the rumors about the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace have been around for a long time, at least dating back to the early Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago, Ling Xuan should have discovered something, so she left one here, the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace that she built according to the rumors." The palace lord nodded and said to us. "The Vientiane Divine Palace is reserved for someone, Ling Xuan is passing on the news, and this news is very likely to be related to the secret of the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace."
