Thunderfall Volume Chapter Ninety-Nine: Dragon Tower Underground Palace
Wolong Field is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, this old man who cleans the green dragon must be a member of the Long family, looking at his appearance as a fairy wind, it is estimated that he is also a senior in the Long family. It is also fate to be able to get him to be enlightened. Lei Luo had just turned around and was about to leave, when a heavy voice suddenly came from behind him: "Aren't you here for the bowstring of 'Qingluan Leaving the Dead'? Why are you busy leaving before you get the bowstring?"
The thunderbolt was startled, and he turned around suddenly, where was there a half-figure? Only the green dragon that stepped on it was still dancing with its teeth and claws, and wanted to go with the wind. In any case, this person who speaks knows that "Qingluan is gone" and knows about the bowstring, so it is definitely not simple, no matter how you say it, you have to respect yourself. Thinking of this, Lei Luo stepped towards Huilong, saluted respectfully, and said: "I don't know which senior is speaking, the junior has too many doubts in his heart, and I hope the senior can give some advice!"
Lei Luo has a good attitude and a sincere tone, and whoever he changes may not be able to bear to refuse.
"Hehe, the son can be taught. The voice looked a little happy, "If you want to solve the doubts in your heart, you must first know your identity - in this case, you can find a way to enter the Dragon Tower first." ”
This time Lei Luo heard it clearly, the voice came from the tower, it seems that this person actually lives in the tower, it seems that today is going to meet a mysterious master. Lei Luo couldn't help but get a little excited, and began to take a closer look at the Dragon Tower.
This time the dragon tower is six sides square, the diameter is afraid of thirty or forty feet, the height is about four floors, the shape is simple, the atmosphere is elegant, I don't know how many years it has existed, it is rusty, but it is still difficult to hide the inner temperament. The green dragon hovering outside the tower, and the tower are integrated, the beads are combined, like nature, I really don't know what kind of skilled craftsmen are needed to complete such outstanding works.
It's a pity that the whole tower is closed, no doors and no windows, the tower is carved with some auspicious clouds, landscape figures and other patterns, because of the severe corrosion, I can't see the reason - how can I get in?
Tower, this is a tower, not a house, not a palace, not a temple, a tower, the purpose of its own tower, its own structure, so, what is a "tower"? Lei Luo began to recall what he had learned in his heart.
"Tower" is not our culture, it was introduced to our country by ancient India. Ancient India was the birthplace of Buddhism, and the pagoda was originally in the service of Buddhism. In ancient India, in order to bury the relics left by the Buddha Shakyamuni after cremation, a building called "Cave Blockage", and he also has a more famous name, called "Futu", that is, "saving a life is better than building a seven-level Futu".
Buddhism spread eastward, and the "Cave Blockage" was also introduced to China, which was combined with China's local architecture to form the architectural form of China's "tower".
The tower is a building that enshrines or collects Buddha bones, Buddha statues, Buddhist scriptures, monks' remains, etc., and then gradually secularized, from the religious world to the secular world, according to the scripture system, the tower can be divided into the pagoda and the Wenfeng tower.
According to the relevant knowledge learned from Teacher Xuanqing, Lei Luo can conclude that the Huilong Pagoda in front of him is a pagoda. Since it is a pagoda, it must be built for "worship", but the Huilong Pagoda in front of it is for whom to worship? Or in other words, what is it? Could it be that it is to worship the "bowstring"?
This kind of tower built for worship is generally composed of an underground palace, a tower base, a tower body, a tower top and a tower stop. The underground palace usually hides the bones of the enshrined corpses or relics like relics, and is located in the middle of the tower and below the ground. Of course, there are also those who hide the bones or treasures on the top of the tower, but they don't know where the "treasures" will be hidden in the Huilong Pagoda in front of them.
But no matter where the enshrined treasure is hidden, there must be a passage. This exit may be on the ground in front of the tower, leading down to the underground palace, or it may be in front of the tower, in the form of a door. After observing this quaint and dignified Huilong Pagoda in detail, Lei Luo concluded that this passage was on the ground.
The ground under the base of the Huilong Tower is all composed of bluestone slabs, and each bluestone slab is afraid that it has experienced hundreds of years of time, and has been trampled on by people to turn white. Looking more closely, Lei Luo smiled.
It turns out that these bluestone slabs are not the same size, and they are not neatly arranged horizontally and vertically, but are centered on the Huilong Pagoda and expand outward in a circular shape. Bluestone slabs of different sizes are faintly arranged in a formation. In this formation, thunder falls to death, and it will not be forgotten - it is the pace chart of "Thunder Drill Hexagram Step".
Lei Luo smiled slightly, and with a barge under his feet, Lei Yuan was agitated, and the thunder hexagram stepped on those large bluestone slabs and stepped quickly.
Wolong Field has regained its vitality, occasionally people pass by the Dragon Tower, see the thunder and dance quickly, not surprised, at most two glances, then busy their own go. It seems that the people of Wolongchang are used to seeing this kind of scene, and the reason is that there is a dragon family in this Wolongchang.
The formation on the ground is no different from the one on the ground in Yu Lao's room. Yu Lao hid the "Thunder Scroll" under the bed, and the trigger mechanism was this "Thunder Drill Hexagram Step", and now entering this Dragon Tower, it is also the "Thunder Drill Hexagram Step", plus Yu Lao once mentioned the Long family in Wolong Field, and reminded Lei Luo that he could go to the Long family to borrow a bowstring - Lei Luo had a bold assumption: The people in the Dragon Tower this time must be related to Yu Lao.
After stepping on the "Thunder Drill Hexagram Step", a vision suddenly came from the ground on the east side of the Huilong Tower, and several bluestone slabs began to descend, revealing a downward passage. I can't tell how many years this passage has not been opened, and a secret smoke and dust emits a choking smell.
Without hesitation, Lei Luo stepped on the stone steps of the passage and went down. As soon as the body was hidden under the ground, the bluestone slab on the head closed in the roar of clicking.
Who would have thought that this time, under the Dragon Tower, there would be such a complex underground palace. The stone steps at the foot of the thunderfall began to spiral downward, deeper and farther. Lei Luo suddenly had an illusion: the wooden dragon gossip array, the towing Qiankun, and the well-dressed mound of neon clothes. That's right, the downward feeling now is exactly the same as it was then.
Could it be that this is another grave? Whose grave?
Finally walked the last stone steps, the dim dungeon gradually became clear, looked up, thunder was relieved, above the head, there were huge pearls, exuding a faint light.
This underground palace is obviously much larger than the Huilong Tower on the ground, but it is very empty, directly opposite the thunderfall, there are two stone tablets, the stone tablets are densely engraved with words, behind the stone tablet, is a stone door, it is estimated that it is the passage leading to the inside of the Huilong Tower, but it is strictly closed. Other than that, there are no other furnishings to be seen: it seems that the object of worship in this tower should be inside the tower.
Since there is nothing else, then all the information is probably on those two stone tablets. Lei Luo walked towards one of the stone tablets, the straight-line distance was dozens of feet, and when he came to the stone tablet, he found that the stone tablet was actually a person high. Looking at the words on the stone tablet, Lei Luo was disappointed: these words are all like flowing water waves, just undulating, different thicknesses, carved from top to bottom, really like a river pouring down, but unfortunately I don't know any of them.
This field is called Wolong Field, this tower is called back to the Dragon Tower, the tower is wrapped around a green dragon, is it possible that the carving on this stone tablet is the text of the dragon family?
With an inexplicable loss, Lei Luo moved to the stone tablet next to him, and before he could see the words carved on the stone tablet, Lei Luo's heart was already beating violently: on the stone tablet, there was a bow engraved - "Qingluan Death"!
Lei Luo didn't know how to describe his feelings, and the big invisible hands that controlled everything in the dark once again brought Lei Luo to a secret. What will happen to Thunderfall this time?
The bow on the stele is depicted like a feather, no worse than the one in the cliff of Leihuang Village, but at first glance, it is not depicted by the same person. The depiction of the cliff of Leihuang Village can make people feel the fierce aura of the bow, and the depiction on this stone tablet, although realistic, lacks a charm.
This bow is engraved in the upper right corner of the stele, and there is a text below, this text, the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, looks messy, does not talk about the layout, but gives people a sense of elegant beauty. This kind of font is not any kind that Lei Luo has ever seen, to be precise, he doesn't seem to be written by a "human", but like a picture drawn by some kind of animal imitating a human font.
However, every word, Lei Luo can still recognize it clearly.
"Qingluan refiner, muscles and bones for the bow, away from the infatuation, soul for the string. The string loses its soul without a bow, the bow loses its might, the phoenix bone dragon tendon, away from the fire and water, the tolerance is incompatible as one, contains two elements into a bow, the crown is peerless, and the common people are overlooked, who can open this bow in the world? Xuanhuang condensed thunder fossils, cast thunder feather arrows, opened Qingluan and left the dead, fire, water, and thunder all three together, the power of the sky, and finally was punished by God. If there is no power to resist the heavens, persuade future generations to seal this murder weapon forever. ”
Thunder's mind was instantly opened. This stone stele can be said to be a cool breeze, blowing away a lot of the fog in the thunder in the mind, and many things finally reveal its hideous original appearance.
Yin Xian once hinted that Qingluan's death and the bloodline of the Thunder Emperor are the core secrets of the human race, and they must not be known to people of other races. And the foreigners in Yinxian's mouth actually include Qingmeng and Fengxing.
Lei Luo himself wants to go to the "Mustard Seed Bodhi Realm" with Fengxing, and the part that Fengxing and Qingmeng know is about the part of the "soul union", but about "Qingluan's Death" and "Thunder Emperor's Bloodline", it has always been carried out in secret or in disguise.
Under the guidance of Master Long, Lei Luo finally understood that he had two different forces, one majestic and the other gloomy and violent, but he didn't know which one was majestic and which one was gloomy and violent.
"Xuanhuang condensed thunder fossils, cast thunder feather arrows, opened Qingluan and left the dead, fire, water, and thunder all shot together, and the power of the sky was finally damned. If there is no power to resist the heavens, persuade future generations to seal this murder weapon forever. This sentence was like a huge iron rod that struck Thunder on the head.
The "Qingluan Death" in the neon clothes and mounds turned out to be really a phoenix, and the thunder feather arrows in the mountain wall of Leihuang Village were the brainchild of Xuanhuang, and now he was attracted by an invisible big hand, attracting this Wolong field, and the bowstring to be found turned out to be the soul of a dragon.
