Chapter 522: Tower of Babel
"Since the sky dome is built with Lantian jade, how did these stars on it come out?" Tian Ji asked. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Aren't you curious about why the stars are colorful, because they are inlaid with different gemstones on the Lantian jade canopy, because they absorb the light of the night pearl and shine in different colors, just like the stars emit a bright light." I didn't rush to explain to Tian Ji.
Tian Ji suddenly realized, nodded dumbfounded, Huang Ping's mouth was open, his chin was about to fall to the ground, Ye Jiuqing walked up to him and patted Huang Ping on the shoulder: "We have dug a tomb for a lifetime, none of them can be compared with here, the mausoleum of God is extraordinary, look at the style of others, where can mortals enjoy, otherwise, when you die, you will also be buried here, we can still be a companion." ”
Huang Ping's face changed when he heard this, and he shook his head in fear: "Brother Ye, you can't talk nonsense, this is the place of God, I only have a few catties and a few taels, how dare I move my mind." ”
"Look at how you are afraid of being like this, such a big land, and this is a real cave heaven blessed land, with jade for the sky and gems for the stars......"
Ye Jiuqing was originally joking with Huang Ping, but when he said this, he suddenly stopped, his expression was stunned, and he suddenly raised his head and looked at Lantian Yu's canopy again, and the corners of his mouth squirmed.
Jewels for the sky!
His expression was shocked, and he lowered his head to take a bird's-eye view of the hundred miles of Pingchuan below: "The pattern of the entire demon country is in a huge ring, wrapped in the canopy of the Lantian sky, and there are rivers meandering above the Pingchuan, one or two ......."
Ye Jiuqing muttered to himself, when he counted to nine, his face was even more surprised, and he turned his head to us and said, there are a total of nine circular rivers above the Baili Pingchuan, and nine is the number of poles, the so-called heaven and earth are round, Kyushu is infinite, and the nine rivers represent all the territories in the world.
"Do you know the meaning of the Demon Kingdom?" Ye Jiuqing was so excited that he turned his head and asked us.
"The gem is the sky, and Kyushu is the river......" Ye Zhiqiu suddenly realized. This place symbolizes all things in the world, and everything is in the demon kingdom. ”
Ye Jiuqing shook his head lightly and smiled bitterly, sighed and said, the world says that the biggest mausoleum is the imperial mausoleum of Emperor Qin, whose huge scale ranks first among the mausoleums of emperors in all dynasties, and just one burial terracotta warrior is enough to shock the world and call it a miracle.
But what really makes the world praise is the tomb of Emperor Qin, which is probably the mausoleum that any tomb robber dreams of wanting to open, although there are only a few words in the literature.
Wear three springs, under the copper and to the coffin, the palace view of the hundred officials, strange weapons and strange migration are full of it. With mercury as a hundred rivers and seas, the machine phase is instilled. The upper part has astronomy, the lower part has geography, and the mermaid paste is used as a candle, and the one who is not extinguished will last for a long time.
But these few sentences depict the magic of this magnificent emperor's mausoleum, the mausoleum has been dug to the underground spring, reinforced with copper pedestal, and the coffin is placed on it, and the tomb is full of rare treasures.
The tomb is also filled with mercury, symbolizing rivers, lakes and seas, the top of the tomb is inlaid with night pearls, symbolizing the sun, moon and stars, and the tomb uses fish oil to light lamps in order to keep the light forever.
This is the phrase that has been widely circulated in later generations.
The gemstone is the sky, and the mercury is the river.
"Emperor Qin is imitating the Demon Kingdom, and he also wants to sleep like a god in a place with astronomy and geography, and future generations only know that the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum is big, but who would have thought that the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum is just the epitome of the Demon Kingdom." Ye Jiuqing said.
"What's that?" The palace lord raised his hand and pointed into the distance.
Following the fingers of the palace lord, we saw a boxy city in the center of the Baili Pingchuan, which was too far away to vaguely see the top of the city wall and the palace inside, which was a typical Qin Dynasty building.
"It should be the Demon Kingdom, and it's also where we're going." I took a deep breath and replied, the city is square, just complementing the nine rivers in the ring outside, it is a metaphor for the round sky, even if we can't see the whole picture of the demon country, but we can also feel the vastness and vastness of the demon country.
"I'm not talking about the city, I'm talking about the towering building in the middle." Gong Jue said.
We looked over, and in the center of the Qin Dynasty city, there was a towering cylindrical building, which felt a bit like a tower of Babel, which was somewhat similar to the demon tower we saw in Penglai.
But even if we are a hundred miles away, the building is much larger than the surrounding palaces, which shows how high this Babel Tower is, far exceeding the Penglai Demon Tower, and at the highest point, a huge three-eyed unicorn sign is erected, and the unicorn eyes in the middle are open, shining with red light.
I suddenly remembered that in the dark room of the Thunder Mountain Tomb, there was a complete depiction of the Demon Kingdom in the mural, and among them was a tall tower, which was the one we see today.
"The city is not a demon country." Wen Ru's voice came from behind us.
Among us, there is no one who is most familiar with the Demon Kingdom than him, after all, Ancestor Wen Ru is the only one who has entered and exited here, and he has also left a detailed record.
"So, where is the Demon Kingdom?" Gong Jue asked in surprise.
"It's the Tower of Babel you saw." Wen Ru replied unhurriedly, with greedy yearning in his eyes.
Wen Ru told us that the Witch Gu King recorded in the ancient books that the Demon Kingdom is not a city, and the palaces built in the city walls are just foils and embellishments, and the real Demon Kingdom is actually the building that towers into the sky.
The god is on the top floor of the Tower of Babel, and all the creation of the witches and the final sacrifice are all done in the tower.
Xue Xinrou seemed to think of something, and hurriedly raised her hand to look at her watch, and immediately her face was solemn, she put the watch in front of us, and the hands inside stopped again.
"This is a space created by the ancestral gods, it looks the same as Penglai Immortal Island, in it, time is imprisoned, and the time we stay in the demon kingdom cannot be synchronized with the outside world." Xue Xinrou said.
"We felt like half a month had passed in Penglai Xiandao, but two years had passed when we came out, and the longer we stayed here, the more time passed outside, and we had to leave here as soon as possible." Tian Ji bowed his head worriedly and said. "I'm worried about ......"
"Don't worry, the ancestor of the Ying family was brought to the Demon Kingdom, and the curse of the Ying family's lifespan began at that time, as long as we find the ancestor of the Ying family in the Demon Kingdom, we may be able to break the limit of lifespan." I knew what Tian Ji was worried about, patted him on the shoulder and said, this is what I have to do, just as I want to resurrect Ling Xi, I do all this to make up for the debt I once owed.
"But since time is limited here, it's not necessarily a bad thing." Gong Jue's brow furrowed.
"Why?" Xue Xinrou asked.
"Extrapolating from the time, the witch in Zhiqiu's belly will mature in seven days, since the time here is slower than outside, which means that we don't have to worry about rushing time for the time being." Gong Jue said.
"yes, why didn't I think of this, it's a good thing."
I breathed a sigh of relief, and just a little more relaxed, I suddenly found that Wen Ru wanted to speak and stopped, and his eyes revealed a sly gloom.
My heart tightened, and I knew it was not a good thing to look at his expression: "What, am I not right?" ”
"Witches are created by gods in the demon kingdom, so witches are not limited by different times, and the time required for witches to grow is the same outside the demon kingdom and inside the demon kingdom." Wen Ru pointed to the Lantian Jade Firmament. "Although the sun, moon and stars on this are built by man with precious stones, the change of the sun and moon is no different from the outside."
I was stunned, looked up at the Lantian sky, the so-called speed of time passing, in fact, is relative, compared to the outside world, the time in the demon kingdom is slow, but in the demon kingdom, with the alternation of the sun and the moon, the length of the day has not changed.
In addition, the witch is not limited by time, to put it bluntly, no matter whether one day inside the demon kingdom is equivalent to days, months or even years outside, but for the witch is still one day, Ye Zhiqiu only has seven days left, and it is like this outside, and there is no change in the demon kingdom because of the time being imprisoned.
"What's the grind then, don't talk nonsense when time is pressing, let's hurry to the Demon Kingdom, it's important to save Zhiqiu first."
Tian Ji put away his backpack and walked to the steps below the high platform, just stepping on the steps.
Click!
The steps of the first layer slowly fell, Tian Ji was taken aback, probably thinking that some mechanism had been triggered, and hurriedly retreated, we were immediately engrossed in vigilance, this is the Demon Kingdom, the ancestral god will not let people enter casually, and the mechanism here is probably not trivial.
But after waiting for a long time, nothing unusual, I looked around, and when I looked behind me, my heart was suddenly shocked, and the entrance to the magic gate was slowly closing, and I found that it was too late.
The Divine Gate is also as it first appeared, slowly closing until it disappears in front of our eyes, that is the only way to enter and exit the Demon Kingdom, although I can open the Divine Gate, the device that can be activated is outside, and now I am trapped in this space that has been forgotten for thousands of years, and there may be no chance to leave.
Everyone looked flustered, but only Wen Ru still looked unfazed, as if this was not unexpected for him.
"You, did you know that the Divine Gate would be closed?" I asked out loud.
Wen Ru nodded unabashedly, without the slightest panic on his face: "I told you that only gods enter and leave the Demon Kingdom, and the Witch Gu King recorded in the ancient books that there is no way back in the Demon Kingdom." ”
"So how do we get out?" Gong Jue asked in surprise.
"Can't get out."
……
We were all stunned, but we quickly thought about it, Wen Ru had been planning for so long, he would definitely not make a mistake, and it was impossible for him to trap himself in the Demon Kingdom, which didn't make any sense to him.
"Since the Witch Gu King can enter and exit the Demon Kingdom, it means that he must know the way to get out, and it must also be recorded in the ancient books." I stared at Wen Ru coldly. "I guess you didn't plan to tell us, this is another chip for you."
Wen Ru smiled, his smile was disgustingly proud, his gaze looked past me into the distance, I knew that he was now looking at the Demon Kingdom, that was the place that Wen Ru longed for the most, all his greed and lust were in that tower.
It's just that I still feel that he is ridiculous, and he still doesn't understand the most essential difference between man and god, no one can become a god, if he wants to transgress, the end of the witch king is Wen Ru's tomorrow.
