Listening to Guo Huaxing's muttering, Chen Ziyang frowned. He knew that the Big Dipper was composed of seven stars: Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang, and the seven stars formed the shape of a spoon, and the star at the end of the spoon was called Yaoguang.

But at this time, Guo Huaxing still muttered what Yaoguang meant? Chen Ziyang, who didn't know why, raised his head and looked towards the ceiling that Guo Huaxing had been watching. A feeling of dizziness hit, he pinched the bridge of his nose, forced himself to vomit and watched, and then the more he looked, the more surprised he became.

Although Chen Ziyang didn't know much about the stars, he saw that there were six particularly large green dots of light that formed the pattern of the Big Dipper, but the star at the end of the Big Dipper was missing.

When he first inspected the side wall of the room, Chen Ziyang found that these green points of light were not artificially placed on the slate, but a naturally associated glowstone-like substance on the slate. He estimated that the black slabs should be the rough stones of some kind of fluorescent stone, so it was not a big deal that the light spots on the slate would glow green.

Now it seems that these slate slabs have been carefully sifted. Each slate is about one meter square, and these slate slabs are spliced together to form a complete star map, which requires a lot of work! How many slabs do you need to sift out of the slabs to select the qualified slates!

The arrangement of the six stars in the Big Dipper pattern alone is already very rare. In addition to the six stars, there are many other points of light on these stone slabs, which should also correspond to the star map one by one, and the most rare thing is that each stone slab has been cut to the same size, so it will be more difficult to stitch the star map.

A dozen points of light on each slate must correspond to the position of the star, and the size of these points of light cannot be arbitrary, it needs to correspond to the brightness of the star, and at the same time, there are strict specifications of the slate. Thinking about it this way, Chen Ziyang felt that these black stone slabs in this room alone were already a miracle in the history of architecture, and if they were taken outside, they would definitely cause an unprecedented sensation.

Although there is also a starry sky pattern inlaid above the underground Imperial Tomb City, Chen Ziyang estimates that it is made by inlaying fluorescent stone directly on the excavated stone wall, which is not the same as the stone slabs of these naturally carried star maps in front of him.

Just when Chen Ziyang was shocked and dizzy by these ceilings similar to the vast starry sky, Zhang Linfu was a little anxious and scolded Guo Huaxing: "You old immortal, what are you muttering?" I'll ask you to come and see this slate. ”

"Providence, this is really providence, I don't have to look at the slate, I know what is painted on it." Guo Huaxing's eyes showed melancholy, a sad expression, and he didn't know why looking at the ceiling for a long time made him so sad.

"Blow, what do you show to me, but tell me what is painted on the slate? I'll see if you're right. ”

"The slate should have the Big Dipper and a burning lotus flower painted on it, right?"

"Huh?" If Zhang Linfu still thought that Guo Huaxing was bragging, when Guo Huaxing accurately said the pattern on the slate, Zhang Linfu and Chen Ziyang were only shocked.

The two of them didn't say the pattern on it when they inspected the slate, and in the process, Guo Huaxing kept looking up at the ceiling of the room, looking at the green stars, and didn't look in this direction at all.

"You...... Are you ......" Zhang Linfu lost confidence when he spoke to Guo Huaxing for the first time, and even because he was too surprised, he stammered a little and was already incoherent.

"Do you want to ask me why I know what is painted on the slate? I tell you, not only did I know what was painted on the slate, but I also knew the cause of this man's death. After saying this, Zhang Linfu casually pointed to the skeleton leaning next to the sculpture.

The surprises are really one after another, and now even Chen Ziyang wants to scold Guo Huaxing. Guo Huaxing's words made several people curious, but he didn't reveal the answer for a long time, but still looked at the star map on the ceiling with an unfathomable look. This feeling of being aroused by curiosity is like a few rats scratching people's hearts, which is very uncomfortable.

"You are an old immortal, what are you pretending to be high, can you say it quickly if you have something to say? There are so many people waiting, if you know something strange, just say it, don't sell it there. Zhang Linfu was also anxious, eager to break Guo Huaxing's mouth to see what words were hidden in his stomach.

"Hey...... The origin of Yaoguang and the destruction of Yaoguang are really providential, and I didn't expect that the prophecy given to me by the master before his death was fulfilled here. It's just that, after all, you can't escape, so let's face it calmly.

The reason why I know what is painted on the slate, and at the same time know the cause of this person's death, is actually very simple, the lotus flower held by this maid is not an ordinary sculpture, but a soul lamp. ”

"Soul Lamp!" Hearing this word, Chen Ziyang's heart chuckled. Although he had never touched the soul lamp, he knew what the soul lamp was.

Just as an oil lamp needs to burn oil and an electric lamp needs electricity, as the name suggests, a soul lamp is a lamp that needs to be fueled by a person's soul to be lit. No wonder there is a corpse here, this man died because he lit the soul lamp with his soul.

Not understanding the purpose of having a dim light here, Chen Ziyang looked at Zhang Linfu on the side. The expression on Zhang Linfu's face was much richer, in addition to surprise, there was also a trace of shock, and there were other emotions hidden in the shock, but Chen Ziyang couldn't taste the taste.

"Soul ...... Soul Lantern ...... You...... You mean......" When the stammering Zhang Linfu looked at Guo Huaxing, there was a hint of friendship in his eyes, this is really the sun coming out of the west. Chen Ziyang had never seen Zhang Linfu look at Guo Huaxing like this.

"You're not mistaken, this soul lamp should be the key to opening the exit of this room. When I was in the city of the underground tombs, I noticed that the fluorescent stones embedded in the top wall formed a star map, and in that star map, the star of the Big Dipper was also extinguished.

At the time, I thought it was because it was a long time ago, and the stone that was the Yaoguang star had fallen off from the ceiling, or that the luminous elements contained in the fluorescent stone had broken down. Now that I think about it, it's not like that, it's a hint, a hint about this mechanism. ”

The more Chen Ziyang listened, the more confused he became, and he didn't understand what Zhang Linfu and Guo Huaxing meant at all, what these two people said was very vague, and only the two of them understood. This made Chen Ziyang anxious enough, but he was too embarrassed to interrupt the words of the two people, so he could only keep looking at the stone lotus flower in the maid's hand.

Because of the angle, Chen Ziyang couldn't see what the lotus looked like inside, and he couldn't see why, but he found that this lotus flower was just below the vanishing Yaoguang Star.

"Old thing, you and I have been fighting all my life, I didn't expect to fight to the end today, you say, who won the two of us in this life?" Guo Huaxing asked meaningfully. Chen Ziyang saw that there seemed to be a teardrop in the corner of his eye.

"You old immortal, what do you mean by that? Do you want to be a hero? I'm telling you, I'm never going to give you this opportunity, even if I want to be a hero, I should be the hero. In terms of ability and qualifications, you are not as good as me, at this time you want to press me, you can't do it! Zhang Linfu looked at the stone lotus flower and straightened his chest.

"You've been fighting with me all your life, you've fought for everything, and now it's time for you, do you still want to fight with me for this opportunity? I'm a Maoshan Star Master, and this matter should be done by me. ”

"What about the Maoshan Star Master? I am older than you in terms of qualifications, I am stronger than you in terms of mana, and I am a head higher than you in terms of seniority, so I can't take your turn in this matter. ”

"Don't fight with me, it's my fate. The day I was born, Yaoguangxing disappeared for no reason. At that time, my master watched the stars at night, discovered this vision, went out to find someone who was destined to take me as an apprentice.

Later, when I went out of the mountain, my master calculated a hexagram for me, and he said that I originated from Yaoguang and died out of Yaoguang, and this prophecy has fallen here today. You don't have to fight with me, this is my life, and people can't fight for it. ”

Although what the two of them said was foggy, Chen Ziyang probably understood that if you want to open the mechanism in this house, you must have a person who dedicates himself and uses his soul to light the soul lamp, and only in this way can he open the door to the next room.

Why did Yuan Tiangang design such a mechanism? Why do you have to risk your life to move forward? Chen Ziyang couldn't understand these questions. Is this also a test? What is the significance of this test? Is it to see if the descendants of Taoism have the spirit of dedication?

Zhang Linfu and Guo Huaxing quarreled louder and louder. By this time, the others had already rummaged through the room, and all the ancient books had been sorted out. The men all stood there silently, aware of what was going to happen, and all of them were silent, their eyes fixed on the two old people.

"It's time for me!"

"It's not your turn!"

……

The two people quarreled more and more fiercely, their words became more and more intense, and the two people were arguing with red faces, and in the end, they actually started to move, and one by one the spirit runes and each magic weapon greeted each other's bodies.

"Eryang...... The two of them...... Is this a fight to die? Yang Lei showed an expression of disbelief, he never thought that these two people would be so noble that they had to fight for their lives to open this mechanism.

In fact, through all the previous things, Chen Ziyang has long understood that on the surface, Zhang Linfu and Guo Huaxing are a pair of mortal enemies, but in fact, these two people admire each other very much, and can even be said to be very good friends.

The abuse that the two people have been exposed to for a long time is actually a spur, as if when they cracked the Seven Martyrs Protecting Tomb Array before, the two of them were already out of work, but through the verbal encouragement of each other, the two of them all persevered to the end.

If it weren't for the two of them encouraging each other in this alternative way, it is very likely that the two corpses would have already taken shape, and if that were the case, everyone would not have been able to leave this room.

Zhang Linfu and Guo Huaxing used their whole body skills and did not give in to each other. If people who don't know the inside story see the tricks used by these two people, they will think that they are really fighting for their lives, but Chen Ziyang knows that this is not the case.

The two of them had to use all their strength, and if one of them didn't use all his strength, the other would win the battle and become the fuel for the soul lamp, something that neither of them wanted to happen to the other.

The more effort they exert now, the better the chance that the other person will survive. Over the years, the feelings of the two people for each other have all exploded at this moment, and the two of them have not played a spell, nor a magic weapon, but a deep friendship.

The battle between the two soon came to an end. After all, he was a little older, Zhang Linfu was knocked to the ground, panting with his back against the stele, and Guo Huaxing, who was standing on the ground, was also sweating profusely and panting, but his face was filled with a smile of victory.

"Old ...... Old stuff...... I said it earlier...... You're not as good as me, are you convinced now? I'll be the hero. ”

Zhang Linfu didn't speak, he raised a hand high, covering his face with a wide robe. Chen Ziyang, who was on the side, saw Zhang Linfu crying bitterly at this time, and the tears couldn't stop flowing, and soon wet a large piece of the sleeve of the robe.

"Two real people...... Don't fight, let me do it. A weak voice came from the door of the room, and everyone turned their heads to find that the person who had said it was Jin Huang. may be because the quarrel between the two people was too intense, the sound was particularly loud, and the fighting style of the two people woke up Jin Huang, who had been unconscious.

"I've run out of oil and the lamp is dry, I won't live long, even if I live, I'm a waste, just use my remnant life to point it, you two are much more useful than me when you live."

"Phew! Linghu Chong, you kid wants to be beautiful, how can it not be your turn, it is not so easy for you to die, you have to live well, live to find a way to regain life, your days are still very long. ”

"Don't fight, I'm the one who really should light the soul lamp, I made a big mistake and hurt you, and this is a chance for me to atone for my sins." Xu Xiaoyuan walked up to Guo Huaxing with his head held high and said.

Through her tone, everyone could hear that Xu Xiaoyuan was not hypocritical, but was really ready to use her life to atone for her and her master.

"Aunt Dao, you are a good person, but you are not ladylike when you meet people. If we let you light the soul lamp, there will be no place for our old fellows' faces. You also have to live well, and you must cure Jin Huang, this is the best way for you to atone for your sins. ”

After looking around at the crowd in the field, Guo Huaxing arched his hand to Zhang Linfu who was in tears.

"Old thing, go first."

After saying this, Guo Huaxing slowly walked to the front of the sculpture and sat cross-legged directly under the soul lamp.
