All Chapters_Chapter 143: Dragon Shadow
I squinted at the palace that appeared in front of me, it was supposed to be built directly at the bottom of the cave, the edges of the artificially carved hall were slightly smooth, and the floor was paved with bricks made of gold, which shimmered in the firelight, which was a little dazzling.
"I have long heard that Zhang Xianzhong has looted the wealth of the entire Sichuan, and the gold, silver and gems are piled up, but I didn't expect that the halls in a dragon's den are all made of gold as floors, tsk, what a typical nouveau riche." I marveled as I walked out of the stone gate and into the main hall.
There are countless huge bronze pillars of fire in the gold-inlaid hall, and there are cyan flames crackling and burning in the pillars of fire, and the whole space illuminated by the blue and faint fire is a little eerie, and I see my shadow cast on the wall in the firelight, which looks huge and hideous.
Perhaps because of the long time deep underground, the air in the whole hall was a little muddy, and I frowned and walked to a bronze pillar of fire, and stretched out my head to look under the flames, wanting to see what kind of fuel was inside, which could support this flame for three hundred years.
At first glance, I suddenly gasped, through the twisted cyan flame, I saw that the bronze pillar of fire actually coiled a huge snake-like creature, because of the flame burning, I can't see the specific appearance, I can only secretly guess that it should be a big python, its body is coiled, the snake's head is high, this cyan flame is gushing out of the snake's mouth, vaguely I can still hear the painful hiss of a big snake from this flame.
I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, took two steps back and carefully looked at the strange lines on this bronze pillar of fire, and after looking at it for a while, I reluctantly speculated that these runes should be an evil magic circle, trapping the body and soul of the entire big snake in this pillar of fire, and then using evil methods to ignite its soul and body, burning this cyan ghost fire, so that it can burn for hundreds of years without oxygen.
I was secretly vigilant in my heart, and while continuing to move towards the depths of the main hall, I was on guard against the surroundings, whether it was the monster in the tunnel just now or the big snake in the bronze pillar of fire, this so-called dragon's lair was probably not as simple as I imagined, and I had to be cautious.
The more I walked inside, the more depressing and gloomy it became, and there was a dead silence all around, and I strode deeper with the tension in my heart, and now I don't know where I went, I had to figure out the situation as soon as possible, or I wouldn't be able to survive long without food and water as time went by.
After walking for about a minute or two, I finally reached the end of the main hall, where a huge palace gate blocked my eyes, blocking the way ahead. I licked my somewhat dry lips, and I didn't care much, I directly stepped forward and reached out to push the palace gate, the vermilion gate made a harsh grinding sound under my force, and the gate that had been sealed for more than three hundred years was finally forcibly opened under my strength.
I took a deep breath, clenched my hands into two fists, and walked in boldly.
Inside this palace gate, I saw a scene that shocked me to the core, even when I faced the evil dragon soul or even the long right soul, I had never been so shocked.
Inside this vermilion gate is a space about a hundred feet in circumference, and in front of this space. From the walls of the cave stretched eight huge iron chains, thigh-thick and glittering with a shiny black metallic sheen, making them look indestructible and indestructible. One end of the eight chains was cast on the wall, blending into the entire mountain, while the other end was stretched out into the air, and the eight chains were pulled straight and firmly locked a figure in mid-air.
"Moo!"
A vague roar echoed in my head, and the moment I heard it, I felt weak and weak, and I almost fell to my knees in the face of the figure trapped in mid-air by eight chains. I felt every inch of flesh and blood on my body light up with cyan brilliance, it was the life essence left by Jiaozhu, which once gave me a powerful dragon power and terrifying recovery power, but now, these dragon essences wanted to urge me to surrender and bow down to the figure in front of me. I gritted my teeth, trying to fight the feeling, the beads of sweat on my forehead dripping down, and I barely raised my head to take a closer look at the figure locked in the air.
Dragon!
No, to be precise, it should be a dragon-shaped figure, his whole body is composed of golden gas, antlers, dragon head, snake body, fish tail and four sharp claws under his body, it is exactly the same as the real dragon in Chinese mythology, not a dragon like a dragon soul or a frog, but a real dragon shape, and a pair of golden antlers on the dragon's head make my heart tremble.
I gasped for breath, and finally sat on the ground and carefully looked at the dragon-shaped figure, he looked like a real dragon, but it was not an entity, but his whole body was composed of golden dragon qi, and the surging golden qi waves made people look at it with fascination. It's just that now there are eight thick chains wrapped around this dragon shadow's body, locked tightly from beginning to end, and even if this dragon shadow struggles in every possible way, it still has no effect, and can only let out a wail in mid-air.
Dragon Vein!
I secretly said in my heart, this should be the dragon vein trapped by Zhang Xianzhong. The dragon vein is composed of the luck of heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, since ancient times, there are words that those who get the dragon vein get the world, especially for a country, if there is no dragon vein of their own support, it is like a rootless ping, seemingly safe, but in case of wind and rain it will be unstable. Among the dozens of dynasties in Chinese history, each dynasty has its own dragon vein, the dragon vein of the Zhou Dynasty is in Qishan, the dragon vein of the Qin Dynasty is in Xianyang, and the dragon vein of the Han Dynasty is in Peixian......
And the so-called mountain is the potential of the dragon, the water is the blood of the dragon, this Qingcheng Mountain is the world's famous spiritual mountain and the Taoist cave blessed land, coupled with the Minjiang River water surrounding, the mountain and water embrace is the world's hard-to-find feng shui treasure land, can find a dragon vein in this mountain that is also a matter of course. It's just that what makes me strange is that I carefully observed and looked at this locked dragon vein, the dragon qi on his body was surging, the color was golden and clear, this didn't look like a fierce dragon! It stands to reason that with the blessing of this dragon vein, it is impossible for the Great Western Kingdom of Zhang Xianzhong to be destroyed within two years, but if it is not for the problem of this dragon vein, it will be ......
I saw a golden wisp of dragon energy emanating towards the ground on the dragon shadow in the sky that was constantly struggling. I looked down in the direction of the dragon qi, and my heart couldn't help but tremble, and my eyebrows jumped in shock.
There is a magic circle carved on the earth, and the lines on the magic circle are complex and mysterious, and I am a little dazzled at a glance, and I can't understand it. But my attention was not on the circle at the moment, because I saw a huge coffin lying quietly under the dragon shadow in the middle of the circle.
Coffin! Another coffin!
My brows jumped, the coffin in front of me was made of golden silk nanmu, and it was also inlaid with various pearls and gemstones, a luxurious scene, which showed how terrifying the wealth Zhang Xianzhong had in his hands back then. Golden silk nanmu, recorded in the ancient books, as hard as iron and stone, a hundred insects do not invade, buried in the soil can go through thousands of years without decay, is the best coffin material in the world, the coffin of the ancient emperor is mostly made of golden silk nanmu, representing an extraordinary meaning.
I watched the coffin in front of me continuously absorb the dragon qi escaping from the dragon shadow, and every time it absorbed a little more, the dragon shadow in mid-air seemed a little more ethereal, but this speed was very slow, and it was basically difficult to see if it wasn't for careful observation.
What should be buried in this coffin is the bones of Zhang Xianzhong's ancestors!
I stood up from the ground and watched the coffin continue to inhale the dragon qi, and I felt a little frightened, and I couldn't help but become more cautious, and even retreated. What I promised the Yin Soldier was to come to check the situation in the dragon's lair, and then go out to tell him that now that I have seen this dragon vein, I have completed the task, and there is no need to continue to explore. And I have to go back to find Mu Yueting, this dragon's lair is very weird, and there are inexplicable monsters, and I am very worried about her.
I glanced at the coffin and the dragon shadow locked in the sky again, and turned to leave.
But the moment I turned around, I clearly heard the sound of a thump in the coffin behind me, the sound was a little dull and heavy, but it sounded like a rock shattering to my ears.
I swallowed nervously and looked back at the coffin with a shudder......
