Waiting for Zhang Dongzi and they were hopeless, the three of us sorted out the rest of the things and set off, not far from the palace gate of the Dragon King Palace, we still walked along the steps and paths, and after walking for half an hour, we finally approached this mysterious palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Far away, the architectural style of this palace is very close to the Forbidden City, obviously full of Han culture, there is a moat around it, there is a bridge in front of us, the head of the bridge is guarded by two stone statues, the stone statue is carved with a lion, the stone lion has been considered to be a rui beast since ancient times, can enhance the yang energy of the building, because the lion is fierce by nature, so everyone thinks that there will be a role in suppressing evil and protecting the house.

Although the Yin Qi of the Dragon King Island is heavier, but the Dragon King Hall is imprisoned in a dragon, in fact, most people understand that it is wrong, everyone only knows that the Rui beast is called the stone lion, but do not know that they have another name, called the fox, in Chinese myths and legends is one of the nine sons of the dragon, resembling a lion, ranking fifth, the life of the quiet does not like to move, good to sit, and like fireworks, the Buddha saw that it had patience, so he sat down as a mount, so the foot decoration on the Buddha seat and the incense burner is its posthumous image.

You Eighteen asked the old cat: "This divine beast is the son of a dragon, so what role can its stone statue play by standing on this bridge?" If it's not a town guard, then there is only one possibility, and it's not good to stand guard. ”

The old cat said, "Maybe it's just a culture, not any meaning. ”

Anyway, anyway, this palace can't get it, it's very magnificent, even the palace of the sea god Mazu is not so grandiose before, standing at the head of the bridge, this palace is huge, majestic, and a lot of black stone is used, so it seems to have some mystery and weirdness, is this the Dragon King Palace, whether it is a prison or the sleeping room of the evil dragon, at this moment we can't tell.

While the three of us were discussing, I suddenly noticed a figure at the gate of the palace across the bridge, so I immediately stopped them and pointed and said, "There are people there!" ”

The figure was cowering at the gate of the palace, and I took a closer look, wasn't this Liu Nian, who disappeared yesterday? He didn't die, and he ran to the Dragon King Palace, and when Liu Nian found out about us, he was immediately startled and shouted, "Ah! He turned around and pushed open the door of the Dragon King's Palace, and rushed in.

You Eighteen was stunned when he saw this, and scolded as soon as he opened his mouth: "What the hell is this dog-day thing, is it really crazy or fake crazy." ”

Liu Nian's reappearance, and arrived at the Dragon King Hall before us, made us have to wonder if he was pretending to be crazy and stupid before, why did he disappear yesterday for no reason, was it because he was afraid that we would find something when we entered Dragon King Island, so he kept pretending to be stupid all the way, and waited until the time was ripe, and then went in by himself, but there was a question that arose, why did Liu Nian enter the Dragon King Hall after seeing us, whether he had already entered it before, or because there was something dangerous inside, so he didn't dare to go deeper, We must enter the Dragon King Hall as soon as possible and find Liu Nian to solve the puzzle.

So we didn't care about the two stone statues, and continued to move along the black stone bridge towards the Dragon King's Palace.

We walked fast, less than two steps to the gate of the palace, the gate of the palace is not made of black stone, but the unique gray and white dead trees on Longwang Island, there is nothing carved on the door, bare, but the top of the door is hung with a huge plaque with the three words of the Dragon King Palace, sure enough, we did not come to the wrong place, and the two white doors have been pushed open by Liu Nian, we squeezed in along the crack of the door.

The moment we enter the palace gate, the image of the Dragon King Palace before is of course gone, the courtyard behind the gate, full of dilapidation, just like the Old Summer Palace that has been robbed by the Eight-Nation Alliance, messy, all kinds of buildings are damaged, crooked, some buildings should have been placed on something, long gone, if it weren't for the buildings in the Dragon King Palace are still standing there, I really thought it was an abandoned cemetery, this feeling Dragon King Palace has been patronized countless times.

We walked out of the door hall, looked at this dilapidated compound, probably took a look, but did not find any valuable clues, not the appearance of corpses and bones all over the ground as I imagined, is it not the same as rumors, there is a huge danger, but my grandfather and father carved on the dragon bone, both mentioned the dragon, but now there is no trace of the dragon, where is this evil dragon?

From a distance, we can clearly see Liu Nian walking towards the main hall in the courtyard, and You Eighteen shouted behind him: "Liu Nian~ You stop me!" ”

Seeing that Liu Nian was unmoved, we immediately walked towards him, but when we saw Liu Nian, the old cat nodded with a smile and said: "As long as Liu Nian is in our sight, we can breathe a sigh of relief, we walk along the place where Liu Nian walked, there should be no danger, just when Liu Nian helped us explore the way in front, even if there is danger, the first person to die is him." ”

I said in my heart that what the old cat said made sense, isn't Liu Nian a very good pathfinder now, so he said: "Let's go, let's not worry, this Dragon King Palace is very big, it's not about the same size as the Forbidden City, we won't be able to figure it out for a while, so let's follow Liu Nian first, but don't lose Liu Nian." ”

However, although the courtyard is dilapidated, there is still a trace of majesty of the year, in the middle of the courtyard is a black platform, this platform is obvious to us, it is the altar we met before, there is nothing in the altar, but there are four black pillars around the altar, we walked to the altar, only to see clearly that these four pillars are carved things.

I can't understand the pattern carved on these four pillars for a while, but the old cat can see it carefully, he said: "These four pillars are carved in the myths and legends of ancient China in the four fierce beasts, respectively, the three seedlings, the donkey, the cang, and the four gods of the posthumous incarnation, because of their evil deeds, do not cultivate virtue, were degraded to the mortal world, and became the four fierce beasts of the legend today, Chaos, Han Qi and Qiqi. ”

What we don't understand is why the four fierce beasts stand in the center of the Dragon King Palace compound, which is obviously unlucky, it is indeed incredible, maybe when the Black Dragon King built this Dragon Palace again, it was not built according to the feng shui of human beings, so there was such a scene, and when we looked closely at the pillar, we found that there were four corpses hanging at the top of the pillar, two of which were human, and the other two should be abyssal creatures.

We wanted to study what happened to these four bones, and we were worried that Liu Nian would run away, but we saw Liu Nian standing motionless at the door of the main hall in the compound, so we were relieved to observe the bones with peace of mind, but after taking a closer look, except for the bone shelf, I couldn't see any clues, I wondered that these bones were probably killed by the aborigines and hung here, since there is an altar, it was built by man, but in addition to the aborigines on this Dragon King Island, who else can live here.

However, one thing can be affirmed from the altar built here, that is, the Black Dragon King is the belief of these aborigines, and the Black Dragon King and the aborigines once lived together, and the Black Dragon King did not kill them, but there is another possibility, that is, these aborigines are the descendants of the Black Dragon King, but can the dragon have children with them? I can't help but think of the legend that dragons can turn into humans, is this true?

I couldn't guess why, so I lost interest, so I said, "Forget it, let's go to this hall quickly." ”

You Eighteen thought about it and scratched his head, so he said: "Anyway, where is the Black Dragon King, except for us and that Liu Nian, there is no Mao here, and the group of people who arrived before us have not seen a single figure." ”

Just when we were about to leave, I saw Liu Nian was not in a daze, there was no door in the hall, he actually walked to the hall, we saw this and quickly followed, and when we walked to the front of the hall, we found that there was a plaque in the hall, which was carved with three black words, Dragon King Palace.

It turned out that this was the Dragon King Palace, I thought I had to continue to go deep into the back of the palace to see, for a while we all stopped, and looked inside, for fear of any danger, but at a glance, there was nothing inside, empty, but I could see that there was a throne in the innermost part of the Dragon King Palace, and that Liu Nian actually walked to the throne and knelt on the ground and shouted: "The Dragon King spares his life." ”

We thought that this Liu Nian must be because of the reason for madness, obviously there is nothing in it, he is still shouting there, the old cat thought for a long time, and did not find anything wrong, nodded, so we strode in, as soon as we entered the Dragon King Palace, we felt that the whole body was suddenly cold, but we found that the surrounding walls were full of exquisite colorful murals, which seemed to be related to the Black Dragon King, so we walked to the murals and watched.

These murals are a little abstract, and I can't understand what these murals mean, I can only roughly see a rough outline, but the old cat has experienced a lot, and You Eighteen and I stood next to him and waited for him to answer.

The old cat nodded while looking at it, I knew that he must have understood what these murals meant, he said: "That's right, Old Man Zhu is right, this black dragon king is an evil dragon, these murals tell about the crimes committed by the black dragon king, you see, this first picture is the scene of the black dragon king killing humans, the black dragon king is high above, there are humans in the dragon's claws and mouth, and there is a group of humans kneeling below. ”

The old cat explained to us the contents of the murals as he walked, and the first few paintings illustrated the various crimes committed by the Black Dragon King, such as murder, robbery, etc., the Black Dragon King was more ambitious, and hid all the treasures he had robbed, and no one was allowed to approach.

When we saw the next mural, it began to be different, the mural depicted an island, in addition to the black dragon king, there was more than one dragon on the island, is this island the dragon king island, if it is true, then there are other dragons on the island, and then we look at the next one, we know what the previous painting means, the old cat continues to explain to us, the content of this painting is that the black dragon king fought with other dragons for selfishness, and finally defeated the other dragons by himself, and kill all the other dragons.
