Chapter 256: Lamp
As he spoke, he dragged me into the iron tower, locked the door, and told me to bring a candlestick on an incense table.
I went up with him, and felt the corner of the stairs on the second floor to a corner with a seal on it.
At this time, I noticed that the wall connected by this corner was the core pillar of this iron building, that is, a large pillar in the middle of this demon building.
This pillar, with a diameter of about five meters, is very thick, and there are some irregular patterns on it, which are concave and convex, and there is something mysterious in it at a glance, but there are many things and ornaments like this on all floors of the iron tower, surrounded by strange things, and this place is not so magical, "Old man, where are we going?" "Light the candlestick, I asked him very carefully.
In this place, there was no light everywhere, and the visibility was frighteningly low, which was not a big deal for him who was blind, but to me, the relatively faint light of the candlestick was very important.
"Don't talk, just watch." Old man Chen said, on the iron wall with markings for a while, about a minute later, suddenly heard a metal friction click, followed by, a miracle appeared, as the mechanism inside was activated, the core pillar in front of us slowly twisted open, although there is only a section less than two meters high, but those markings slowly float is still very spectacular.
When the bearing stopped turning, a narrow gate appeared in front of us, and Old Man Chen walked in first, and I hurried to follow.
Illuminating the surroundings with a candlestick, I suddenly found that the inside of this core pillar was actually a spiral staircase spiraling down, the spiral ladder is not wide, barely one meter, fortunately, those things are cast in iron, and the scale style is a bit like the legendary "plank road".
Turning slightly to the side, I found that the spiral staircase was bottomless, and the whining of the wind indicated that there must be a mysterious place connected to it.
"Old man, be careful" Because this spiral ladder is narrow and there is no handrail, I am really worried that Old Man Chen will accidentally fall down.
But the old man Chen carried a hand behind his back, walked in an orderly manner, with this time, I looked around, held up the candlestick, and suddenly found that the walls around were engraved with a lot of strange symbols, here, there are very abstract pictures, there are also special graphics like "stickman" like martial arts cheats, of course, there are all kinds of strange words in it.
Take a cursory look, the text inside is mostly insect and fish big seals, and there are a lot of small seals or something, as for the commonly used official books and the text after the Han Dynasty, there are almost no occurrences.
As soon as I looked at these familiar things, my head grew for a while, and after thinking about it, I suddenly understood the words of the ghost.
I used to wonder why the ghosts who stayed at home knew so many spells and things, but now that I think about it, there must be a huge amount of information hidden under this bottomless plank road
Could it be that all the records in this are Maoshan Taoism?
Thinking of this, I was soon attracted by the symbol on the iron wall, the text on it, is not big, the big one is the size of a fist, the small one is only the point of mahjong tiles, barely analyzed a few words, all kinds of incomprehensible.
At this time, I wanted to ask Mr. Chen, but found that the old man had already gone far away, so I ran down, pulled Mr. Chen's sleeve and asked him: "Mr. Chen, what are the words written on this iron wall?" ”
"You understand?" Hearing this, Old Man Chen stood still, he frowned slightly, and his expression was very strict.
"I can understand a small part, but I can't understand the words." Shaking my head, I'll be honest.
As soon as these words came out, Old Man Chen smiled slightly, and then said to me with a little bit of ridicule: "It's right if you don't understand, the things on it are very complicated, and I can't say exactly what is written in it, you know, the old man is a blind man." ”
As he spoke, he told me about some of the strange things he had encountered when he was younger, but I didn't bother to listen to them, so I just paid attention to the special symbols on both sides.
As I walked, I stopped, because I saw something familiar on one of the few large murals.
It was a very strong half-orc, with a neck thicker than his head, two giant pythons wrapped around his body, and a huge giant turtle under his feet, I recognized it at a glance, isn't this the "Fengshen Yuqiang" I met in the Valley of the Wind God?!
You know, that thing almost took our lives, I was too impressed with him, and then checked the information, I have a little understanding of this person, there is a record in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Great Wilderness of the North", the book says: "In the Zhu of the North Sea, there is a god, a human face and a bird body, two green snakes, two red snakes, and the name is Yuqiang." ”
Some people say that this person is the grandson of the Yellow Emperor, and some people say that he is the son of Zhuan, but no matter which version, this person is the incarnation of the god of wind and the god of the sea, that is to say, this guy is still a genius and a generalist.
Compared to his identity, there is no clear record and explanation of why he appeared in the Wind God Valley, and even, the place of the Wind God Valley is a mysterious space in a semi-isolated state from the world we are in, and on this basis, the formation that binds him and who made the Golden Pagoda has become a mystery, I want to discuss it with people, but no one believes these things.
After coming and going, I also felt frustrated, and I was about to give up the exploration in this area, but I didn't think about it, but I found his traces in this iron building.
I touched the graphics on the iron wall, a little excited, and excitedly looked for the relevant notes, but found that the words were as obscure as ever, and there was no way, I could only speculate on the above descriptions through the series of figures, but the arrangement of those figures was extremely confusing, and I couldn't figure out the order at all.
Before I could clear my mind, Old Man Chen shouted at me at the top of his throat, I didn't dare to slack off, I dropped two drops of wax oil on the first step to mark it and hurriedly ran.
At the bottom of the spiral ladder, is a very large basement, this look, the spiral ladder of the iron tower is actually a special structure in the shape of a cone, the surrounding is cold and cold, there is water on the side, in the middle of the waterhole is a huge stone platform in the shape of eight trigrams, the diameter is between ten meters and twenty meters, the dry kan is shaken, Xun Li Kundui, the eight congenital hexagrams are spliced together with raised stones.
