Chapter 673: Crystal Hourglass

At the end of the road, we were blocked by a thick stone gate, and directly above the stone gate, there were four large characters inscribed in gold inscriptions. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Immortal Immortal Palace.

And on the mountain walls on both sides of the stone gate are engraved with strange words, Ye Zhiqiu and the others saw the words as if they had obtained a treasure, but after looking at them for a long time, they turned around and said to me: "These words have never appeared, but I have seen them twice, the first time is in the Demon Kingdom, and the second time is engraved on the Jade Pig Dragon." ”

It was the text in the Divine Domain, I carefully checked the contents, the ancestors of the Peng family recorded the origin of the Divine Domain and everything that happened, including the reason why I led the Longbo army to wash the Divine Domain in blood, and the reason why the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace left.

At the same time, these texts also contain the knowledge of the gods in the gods' domain about things and time, and believe that the ability to describe different gods is completely a concise chronicle of the gods.

"The ancestors of the Peng family should be taught this kind of writing to future generations." I said as I looked at the lettering.

"What the hell is this text?" Xue Xinrou asked curiously.

"The words of the other world, in human cognition, call that world the realm of the gods, and there is the kingdom of the gods." I replied with a lot of emotion.

"You just said that the ancestors of the Peng family passed on this kind of writing to future generations?" Ye Zhiqiu looked at the words on the stone wall and was at a loss. "I'm also a descendant of the Peng family, why have I never heard my dad mention it?"

"He doesn't know either." I answer in the affirmative.

"Then why do you know that these words have been passed down?" Tian Ji is also curious.

"Lao Tzu is known as the ancestor of Taoism, and Taoism is framed by his thoughts, especially Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching plays a vital role in the prosperity of Taoism."

I pointed to the words in front of me to explain, and the ideas expounded by Lao Tzu were very unique views at that time, and even now, it is difficult for people to really understand the mysteries, because Lao Tzu has gained understanding from these words, and has borrowed from the worldview of the divine domain to construct a new cognition, which is what is now called philosophy.

"It is said that Lao Tzu finally realized the Great Dao, presumably under the influence of these words." I said calmly.

"So, Lao Tzu understood the deep meaning of these words?" Xue Xinrou asked while taking pictures of the stone wall.

"Of course not, he only knows the content of the text, so he knows the existence of the Divine Domain, which is a world beyond the reach of mortals, so in the later Taoist mythological system, you can vaguely see the shadows of the various gods in the Divine Domain, all of whom have eternal life, and each has different divine powers." I shook my head and replied calmly. "Lao Tzu created the Taoist structure of gods according to the divine domain he longed for."

"When it's all over, you'll have to help translate these texts, which are incomparably important documents." Ye Zhiqiu said.

"When it's over, maybe you don't need me, and you know what the text says." I said with a sigh.

"Come here and see what it is?" Tian Ji probably didn't have any interest in these incomprehensible words, so he stood next to the stone gate and pointed to two huge crystal containers and asked.

The crystal container is like two pyramids with opposite tips, one positive and one negative, through the crystal you can see the fine sand contained inside, and the inverted pyramid above is extremely strong and slowly flowing down the fine sand, which just drips into the crystal container below.

"What is this for?" Tian Ji squatted down and asked.

"It's like a giant hourglass." Gong Jue looked at it for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up. "Time! It's something that is used to keep time. ”

"What time is calculated?" Xue Xinrou squatted next to the crystal container. "There is also a scale here, which should represent time, but I don't understand what this time represents?"

"The ancestors of the Peng family built the Immortal Palace, in addition to hiding the Nirvana Wheel, it is more important to wait for the appearance of the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, this time may be left to him by the ancestors of the Peng family." Gong Jue said.

"Why?" Ye Zhiqiu asked.

"Except for that ship, no one has the ability to wake up the ancestor of the Peng family and leave an hourglass here, the master in the Immortal Palace wants to know how long he has been sleeping here when he wakes up."

"Penting." I turned to look at Ye Zhiqiu. "This is the name of your ancestor, who left it on the crystal hourglass."

I pointed to the text inscribed on the bottom of the container, which recorded the time and process of the construction of this immortal palace.

"Don't worry about this for now, the top priority is how to open this stone door." Tian Ji said.

"There are stone plates on the stone door that can be turned." Xue Xinrou walked over and looked at it and said to the palace lord. "It's supposed to be a mechanism, you can see if you can decipher it."

The stone plate is concentric in a total of nine circles, and on the outermost layer there is a scale inlaid with bronze with the symbol of a feathered dragon, and nine symbols are evenly distributed on the nine circles.

"These symbols are familiar." The palace lord was thoughtful.

"Nine Dragons Cheng Ruizun!" Tian Ji said excitedly when he thought about it. "The jade pig dragon placed on it is engraved with such a symbol on the top."

"So, these symbols represent numbers." Ye Zhiqiu suddenly realized.

"This mechanism is like the combination lock on the outside of the safe now."

Gong Jue pointed to the stone plate and told us that the outermost bronze scale engraved with the pattern of the feather dragon represents the position of the stone plate in the middle of the rotation, there are a total of nine discs, which means that each disc corresponds to a number, and the stone door will only be opened when the stone plate is rotated and the nine numbers correspond to the exact corresponding scale.

"It can be seen that although Lao Tzu entered the Immortal Palace, he only came here." My voice is flat.

"Didn't you say that Peng Ting passed on these words to future generations, will he also pass on the number of opening the stone gate?" Gong Jue asked.

"The construction of the Immortal Palace is to wait for the appearance of the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, Peng Ting does not want his descendants to find here, the only reason to teach the text is so that the people on that ship can find it, so Peng Ting will definitely not tell the correct number to future generations." I shook my head and said.

"That's a big problem, I just sensed the stone gate, this mechanism is quite cleverly designed."

"I know that the Immortal Palace is built in the Silver Pillar Mountain, and if it is forcibly opened, the entire Silver Pillar Mountain will collapse." Tian Ji was accustomed to a weak wry smile.

"It's not a collapse, there is a hot spring here, which means that there is geothermal heat in Yinzhu Mountain, and I can sense the temperature difference between the stone wall and other places, which means that the mechanism here is connected to the molten lava underground, and if you can't decipher the mechanism, the Immortal Dungeon will fall into the molten lava underground." Gong Jue shook his head and explained.

This also makes me figure out, Peng Ting has to wait until he is his own clan, and the people who have left behind will definitely understand that in order to prevent me from finding here with the guards, Peng Ting has prepared the worst plan, which is to kill himself along with the Nirvana Wheel and the Longbo people who entered the Immortal Palace.

"Since the key to opening the stone gate is nine numbers, presumably these numbers were not chosen by Peng Ting at random." Gong Jue pondered for a long time and said. "When he left this mechanism, he should have hoped to be discovered by the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, if one day, the people on that ship found here, how would they open the stone gate?"

"Writing on the stone wall!" Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly pulled me and said. "Will Penting leave the numbers in these words?"

"There is this possibility, other people can't understand these words at all, didn't I say it before, the clues will only be left to specific people, and those who can understand these words are the people Peng Ting is waiting for." Tian Ji nodded and said.

I sighed heavily and shook my head, the people on the Nine Dragons Boat in the Moon Palace could read the words, but that didn't mean they were the only ones who could understand the meaning of the words, and we who were chasing the ship.

"If Peng Ting can pass on these words to future generations, he can conclude that he will never leave such an important secret in the form of words, and it is not his descendants who hope to open the stone gate at all." I say.

"What do those nine numbers mean?" Ye Zhiqiu was at a loss.

"It's time!" Xue Xinrou pointed to the hourglass next to her. "This container is placed next to the stone door, there must be some kind of meaning, since the hourglass is used to record time, the number of opening the stone door should be related to time."

"Xinrou has a point, but the problem is that nine numbers can be combined at any time, and Peng Ting didn't leave any hints, so it's impossible for us to know the correct combination of nine numbers." The palace lord was anxious.

"We don't know, but Ling Xuan doesn't know either, when Peng Ting left the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, he didn't expect that he wouldn't be able to return in time, so it was impossible for him to make an appointment with the other people on the boat before he left." Tian Ji said.

"But Ling Xuan opened the stone gate and entered the Immortal Underground Palace." Gong Jue frowned, and said thoughtfully. "How did Ling Xuan guess the correct time represented by these nine numbers in such a short period of time?"

"It shows that this time has an extremely important meaning for everyone on the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, and this time does not need to be remembered by them at all, and it is engraved in the hearts of everyone on that ship." Xue Xinrou said.

"Unforgettable time...... I frowned slightly, and walked back to the crystal hourglass, the text that Peng Ting left on the crystal hourglass was very brief, and my eyes fell on the last sentence, which roughly means that Peng Ting has been looking forward to returning to the divine domain one day, and I rubbed my forehead when I saw this. Peng Ting left this crystal hourglass to record how long he had to wait before he could return to ......"

I suddenly raised my head, my hand touched the bottom scale of the crystal hourglass, my eyes lit up, and I quickly got up and stood in front of the stone door.

"You can't be wrong, or this place will all fall into the molten ground in an instant." The palace lord said with a grim expression.

"No, there can be no mistake." I nodded confidently.

Then I slowly rotated the stone plate from the outermost layer, and when the last stone plate followed my rotation, the symbols representing the numbers corresponded to the scale.

Rumble!

With the muffled sound of the mechanism opening, the stone door slowly rose before our eyes.

Everyone was very excited, and the palace lord asked me with a smile: "Didn't you say that the password left by Peng Ting is only known to the people on that ship, but how can you open the stone gate?" ”

"Chaoge, do these nine numbers represent time?" Xue Xinrou wanted to verify her speculation.

"Yes, it is true that there are nine numbers in time." I avoided the palace lord's curious gaze and replied lightly. "This time has a special meaning for everyone on that ship......"
