Chapter 301: Yuheng Palace
readx;
After walking not far, a small stream was across in front of everyone, more than ten meters wide on the water surface, knee-deep, and in the crystal clear water, some brightly colored small fish swam from time to time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info?
Upstream of the creek was a large clearing, full of flowers and plants, and in the middle were a few strange trees, like several huge stumps, thick and short, but with many branches.
On the nearest tree stump, a door suddenly opened, and the stump turned out to be a tree house. A person slowly walked out of it, holding an animal skin in his hand, and there were words in his mouth, this person was actually ...... Old Pan!
"Pan Ye!" Zhang Ye shouted, Da Kui and the others also ran over one after another, but they didn't expect that Lao Pan, who had not been seen for a long time, would appear here.
Lao Pan said to us: "Everyone is worried, I wanted to find you first, but ......"
Then he told us about the strange things he had just experienced.
Ever since we entered the Peach Grove, he had been tricked, first seeing a bunch of treasures, then being chased by a group of zombies, and just as he was running out of breath, the illusion suddenly disappeared.
He suddenly came to his senses, and the golden sword in his arms was shaking constantly, and it emitted a faint golden light. The golden sword seemed to guide him in one direction, and then he tried several directions before he realized that it was indeed the case.
Except for one direction, as long as he changed to another direction, the golden sword would shake violently. And when Lao Pan wanted to go back to find us, after walking a distance, he suddenly fell into a fantasy again.
In this way, he followed the guidance of the golden sword and found these treehouses all the way.
We just took a look at the treehouse, and it didn't matter if we looked closely, and it made me gasp. I don't know what kind of tree the tree is, the branches are thick, and the trees are covered with vines. And among these luxuriant vines, there were several dried corpses, close to the top of my head.
I was about to draw my sword to defend myself, but Lao Pan stopped me and said, "Don't act rashly, this tree will attack people, I tried it when I first came, I threw it with stones in the distance, and it was shattered by these vines in the air." But this golden sword can restrain them, as long as they are within the range of the golden sword, they will not take the initiative to attack. ”
I looked at the treehouses next to me, with some dry bones scattered around them, and a few dried corpses hanging from the branches.
Lao Pan went on to say that when he entered the treehouse, he only found an animal skin, on which it seemed to be a map, and some strange words and symbols, but he couldn't see where it was, and he didn't know the meaning of those words.
The only thing he knew for sure was that the hide must have something to do with the golden sword, for he saw two familiar words on it, identical to the two words on the hilt. Since I don't understand it for the time being, I'll put it away first.
We came to the next treehouse, and the door opened automatically, and the treehouse was full of bamboo slips, and the leather ropes that connected the bamboo slips had long since rotted, and there were cuneiform characters on it, and no one could understand them, so we had to give up.
The other treehouses were much the same, nothing unexpected was found, except for the last treehouse, which was the largest one in the middle.
After entering the tree house, the vision made everyone quite excited, and the first thing they saw was a huge stone tablet, which was not surprising, and it was engraved with two ancient inscriptions. Behind the stele, there is still a passage to the underground.
Everyone looked at each other, and Lao Pan said, "It seems that the land has been found." ”
The style inside the passage is the same as always, with murals of ancient tribes on both sides, and many traps along the way, but all of them have been destroyed.
In a windswept stone chamber, we found a huge mass grave filled with dry bones and the souls of the dead roaming throughout. These revenants seemed to be afraid of the Tiangang Sword, and they kept cowering in the corner. Where the mass grave is located, there will be a great slaughter, and we don't want to disturb these dead souls, so we sealed the stone gate and continued on our way.
Everyone felt a little dull, who would have thought that under a sea of flowers, there were a lot of white bones, and I don't know where this Yuheng Palace is.
Finally, at the end, a huge stone door was ajar, and a musty smell came from inside. After entering the gate, I found that this was also a huge hall, but it was the same as the previous Kaiyang Palace, lifeless and dark.
When we looked around with a flashlight, we saw a completely different scene from what we had seen before.
There are countless tall trees scattered throughout the main hall, but these trees have already died without exception, some branches have fallen to the ground, and some of the trees have become moldy, and the smell of mold is emitted by these trees.
I was curious and asked, "Why are these trees planted in the ground?" How do they grow up without sunlight? ”
Lao Pan pondered for a while before saying, "According to past experience, since these trees can be planted here, they should have the conditions for survival. Maybe it's to arrange some formation, after all, the five elements of this Yuheng Palace belong to wood, but I don't know who destroyed the formation, and these trees died. ”
I suddenly remembered the dilapidated Kaiyang Palace, both of which seemed to have been destroyed. What are these star palaces for? I think of that huge statue again, there must be a similar one here, right?
"There's something up ahead." Ansari said. Everyone shone their flashlights, and another huge altar stood in front of them.
There is something special about this altar, it is made of wood, I don't know what kind of wood, hard as iron, without the slightest sign of decay, and carved with ancient and mysterious ornaments.
There was no such thing as a golden golem on the altar, only a large round wooden tripod, and under the wooden dome was a wooden altar for the sacrifices.
Behind the wooden tripod, there is the statue of the giant that I guessed, which is also made of wood, which is the same as the material used in the altar itself.
In this dark environment, shining with a flashlight, it is even more hideous, like a ghost, but this giant is holding a different weapon, it is a two-handed giant sword.
There is a wooden tablet behind the colossus, on which are two ancient inscriptions of Lian Zhen, and there is also a round hole in the middle of these two words, Lao Pan put the golden ball in, but there was no response.
Ansari said, "Since the five elements belong to wood here, it reminds me of something. Pan Ye, do you remember the mission that Lu Haikong asked you to go to the Taishan Underground Palace to complete? After speaking, he also stared at Lao Pan with blazing eyes.
Lao Pan's eyes froze, and he exclaimed: "Dragon Soul Fruit!" ”
As soon as I heard these words, I was shocked in my heart, and I almost forgot about this thing, but ......
I said, "The Dragon Soul Fruit isn't with us. ”
In a word, everyone calmed down again. This Dragon Soul Fruit must be with the Soul Suppression Stone, otherwise the Dragon Soul Fruit will turn into a ball of essence and disappear within three days. However, the Soul Suppression Stone was in Lu Hai's empty hands at this time.
This time it may be in vain again, if there is no important discovery, you can only return to Kaiyang Palace to wait for land, sea and air.
We walked down from the other end of the altar, but there was an accident, as soon as we walked down the steps, Zhang Ye almost fell into a pit. No one would have thought that there would be a trap here, if it weren't for Ansali's quick eyes, Zhang Ye would have fallen at this time.
Everyone was frightened for a while, and hurriedly looked around carefully, and found that there were no other abnormalities, so they came to the trap.
When I got closer, I saw that the trap's sliding door, because the door shaft was necrotic because of too many years, the entire sliding door had been stepped on by Zhang Ye and could not bounce back.
Everyone looked down, it was a pit about ten meters deep, and there were no other spikes and other mechanisms underneath, but there was a dry skeleton half-lying in it.
Seeing that there was nothing special, we were about to move on, but Lao Pan frowned and said, "Wait, there seems to be a word down here." ”
We took a closer look at the flashlight, and sure enough, on the four walls of this trap, on the height of one person, there were dense spots all over the place, and the distance was too far to be seen without looking closely.
Several people glanced at each other, Zhang Ye tied the mountaineering rope, and was smoothed down by Ansali and Da Kui, and in less than a minute, Zhang Ye came up and said: "It's all ancient characters, I can't understand it." ”
This time, only Lao Pan can go out. After he went down, he kept holding a flashlight to study, and he waited for a long time and couldn't finish it. When asked, he said that there was a big discovery, so let's wait.
When everyone heard this, their mood immediately cheered up, and they waited with anticipation for him to bring good news, and after a long time, Lao Pan called out to everyone to pull him up.
After coming up, Lao Pan did not speak immediately, but closed his eyes and meditated, as if he was digesting the information he had just gotten. After a while, he said to us that the following words, the things recorded, were indeed very informative.
According to him, the words below were carved by the man in the pit. This person's identity is very special, he is a general of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, named Xie Wencheng. He came here to protect an envoy of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty on a secret mission.
After the mission was completed, the messenger suddenly attacked him from behind, telling him that because he had offended Emperor Wu of Han before, he was secretly executed, and then pushed into the pit by the emissary, but he did not die immediately, so some things were engraved in the pit.
Lao Pan said that Xie Wencheng had heard of it. Although this person was unknown during his lifetime, he was recorded in the history books after his death, all because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had built a temple for him, and he worshiped him for many years.
The cause of General Xie's death is not simple, this is also attributed to his other identity, at that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very obsessed with cultivating immortals, and once recruited a large number of monks to refine pills for them, and among these monks, the most respected and trusted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a person named Li Shaojun, who was also a teacher and friend with Xie Wencheng, and the cause of Xie Wencheng's death also originated from this.
In Xie Wencheng's records, this mission not only involved Huo Quai, but also involved a major secret of the royal family.
