That's right, even if there is no underwater palace, the aquarium-like scene alone is enough to amaze people in ancient times.

Not to mention the dreamlike scene in the dark blue light here.

Jiang Xian withdrew his gaze from looking upwards and turned his head to look around, at this time, the scene in the entire cave had changed.

An oil lamp sticks out from the wall, and the faint light illuminates the surroundings, completely eliminating the original darkness. The light radiated from here, and the transparent cold spirit also radiated more light, attracting many schools of fish to swim here.

Although the cold chill kept the fish from getting too close, they still wandered back and forth a little farther away.

The outer shell of the walls of the cave moved to the rest of the place, and neat layers of bluestone walls appeared in front of him.

Under the light, the stone tables and stone chairs are neatly arranged, and on the upturned floor tiles, chrome-plated bronze figures are guarded everywhere like guards, and in the very center of these bronze statues, a huge stone platform stands there, and a round sphere hangs above it.

However, the sphere does not appear to be suspended by ropes, but by a metal tube.

"Go up and have a look?" Ling Xiaozi's voice came from the side.

"Of course." Jiang Xian nodded: "Perhaps, the clue to the exit is inside." ”

After the words fell, he took a step, stepped on the blue brick, came to the stone platform, and walked up step by step.

The stone platform was a regular octahedron, with steps on each side, and Ling Xiaozi and Fang Yunye San walked up from different directions.

"Huh...... Is this a copper ball? Lin Ruoxue showed a surprised look, reached out and gently tapped the sphere, and there was a crisp sound on it. She pressed it a little harder, and then the short blade appeared in her hand, and gently scraped along the copper ball, removing the traces on the surface, and her eyes flashed:

"It's ...... Brass. ”

Brass?

Jiang Xian's eyes also froze when he heard these two words, and he recalled the brass mechanisms below the mosquito-free village: "If this copper ball was also refined by the Fuxi tribe at the beginning, then we all underestimated them before." ”

"At that time, human beings did not have the technology to smelt brass." Ling Xiao sub-interface, bent down and looked at the traces on the stone platform: "So, this smelting technique is only one possible ......"

"From giants?"

Fang Yunye didn't have the slightest surprise on his face, after all, this was an unexpected and reasonable thing.

After passing through the Shadow Cellar, they all knew that the traces of giants in antiquity were originally more frequent than they first thought.

It was normal for humans on the earth to meet them at that time.

"Look at this stone platform ...... surnamed Jiang" Ling Xiaozi stretched out his hand and pointed to the ground in front of him, the dust in his hand swept the ground, and then reached out and knocked lightly, and the familiar muffled sound suddenly reached the ears of several people.

"Huh?"

Everyone's expressions changed in unison: "Metal? ”

Jiang Xian immediately stretched out his hand and gently knocked on the stone platform, the same sound came out again, he immediately made a gesture, and several people stepped back one after another, coming to the next stone step. A pair of eyes kept looking at the top of the stone platform.

"Here!"

Jiang Xian's eyes flashed, and the dragon slaying sword suddenly slashed out, like a clear spring instantly slashing across the stone platform in front of him.

I only heard a crisp sound come out, and a gap appeared directly in the top layer.

"Sure enough!" Ling Xiaozi showed a clear look: "The stone layer above this was all placed and covered later, just a shell, and the real altar is hidden under this layer of stones." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, help!" Jiang Xian rolled his eyes: "I found this first gap, you just follow the way." ”

Ling Xiaozi smiled when he heard it, and immediately began to act, the raw lotus in the dust unfolded, and a sword slashed across the stone platform.

Lin Ruoxue stretched out her hands, two short blades appeared, and walked up again around the gap of the stone platform, and after a while, she saw that the top layer of the entire stone platform had been completely peeled off and a shell.

The four of them stood in one corner, grasping the gap in the stone platform with both hands and exerting themselves in unison. I only heard a bang, and the stone platform shell was suddenly lifted.

Carefully moving this shell aside, the true face of the upper layer of the altar was suddenly revealed.

I saw symbols carved on the exposed brass table, and between these symbols, the charts of the 28 Nakshatras were located in their respective positions. In the very center of the countertop, there is a clearly dented circular mark, apparently where something is placed.

This mechanism couldn't be more obvious, even Fang Yunye could see it at a glance.

"Round thing...... Jiang Xian's eyes moved slightly, put on a thin layer of gloves on his hand, and touched it down.

As soon as he touched the concave circle, he immediately felt some unsmooth, irregular friction, and it was obvious that what had been put in it should match these bulging depressions that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and not only that......

"Wait!"

Ling Xiaozi's eyes suddenly condensed: "Don't use your strength if you are surnamed Jiang, don't use your strength!" ”

"You see that, too?"

Jiang Xian's tone was quite relaxed: "The level is not bad." ”

Well? See it too?

Ling Xiaozi was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and glared at Jiang Xian fiercely: "You did it on purpose, right?" Just now, my fingers suddenly forced, I guessed that I saw that this was a stacked mechanism, deliberately scaring Dao Ye, right? ”

"You say yes, that is, don't explain."

Jiang Xian raised his eyebrows and took his hand out of the depression.

"Mr. Ling, what is a stacking mechanism?" Fang Yunye asked curiously from the side.

"The stacking mechanism is a relatively elaborate technique, and the mechanism is divided into several layers. The opening requires the corresponding layer to start, like this one. Ling Xiaozi pointed to the depression in the center: "The lines correspond, and the weight is on the right to start." ”

"In addition to that, the rest of the layers also have a way to start."

"For example, weight, for example, reps and so on...... I don't know if there are any other traps on it, but it definitely includes weight traps. ”

"If the person surnamed Jiang just now pressed it hard......

Ling Xiaozi smiled: "Let's know how they designed the killing moves." ”

Fang Yunye's expression was stunned when he heard this, this was already the innermost part of the entire underground palace, if someone could get here, it would mean that the traps in front of him had almost been cracked. If he was the designer, the mechanism here would be the most lethal.

"However, this arrangement is obviously not the layout of the original owner here."

Jiang Xian heard a few people talking, and interjected from the side: "Don't you see the lines here?" ”

A few people followed his fingers, only to see a rooster-like symbol on the copper plate.

"Phoenix bird pattern?" Lin Ruoxue immediately recognized it, her expression moved, she raised her head to look up, and then looked at the rest of the copper plate, and sure enough, she found a lot of similar traces: "This is the phoenix bird pattern of Chudi!" ”

"This mechanism was designed by Zhuang Ji or their descendants?"

Fang Yunye was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at the copper ball on it: "If that's the case, the copper ball hanging above is also smelted and cast by them, right?" ”

Jiang Xian shook his head when he listened: "It shouldn't be, in the current historical records, the word brass first appeared in Dongfang Shuokou, and the brass before it was all a product incidental to smelting bronze." It is a luxury and cannot be smelted in large quantities. ”

"If you say that you can cast a few simple objects, it is enough, but smelting brass, casting such a large copper ball, is definitely not something that can be achieved by the technology at that time."

"These brass can only be remnants of the past, and they have remodeled on this basis."

Speaking of this, Jiang Xian paused, straightened up and turned his body to look around: "What I know is this mechanism designed by the people of Chu State, and it is much easier to unlock it." ”

Ling Xiaozi's eyes moved, and he couldn't help but raise his head, and his gaze fell on the copper ball above: "What do you mean...... Is it Dongjun? ”

Then he looked at the bronze statues listed in various places around him: "Nine songs, twelve gods? ”

"That's right."

Jiang Xian nodded and said, "Don't you think that the entire layout here is not only in line with the star array, but also in line with the flow of mountains and rivers?" Before, it was just because I suspected that it was an arrangement in ancient times, not a system, but now that I know that this is the arrangement of Zhuang Ji or Zhuang Ji's descendants, everything is also understood. ”

"So what are you waiting for?"

Ling Xiaozi immediately moved, walked down a few steps, stood in the reckoning position, and touched the bronze statue with a strange head in front of him with his gloved palm.

Lin Ruoxue and Jiang Xian also moved at the same time, and they all came to the positions of the twelve gods they had calculated, touching the bronze statues one by one.

Click......

The familiar sound of the machine suddenly moved forward, and the entire cavern trembled slightly, and wisps of dust sprinkled downward. The copper ball, which was suspended above the altar by an extremely thick metal pipe, also shook slightly.

In the eyes of everyone, the copper ball that looked intact actually cracked!

No, not cracked, but ......

Bloom!

Blooming like a flower!

The appearance of gaps is like the growth of flower bones, and the separated epidermis is like the open petals. The whole copper ball seems to have turned into a golden lotus flower, and the layers of petals continue to unfold as it blooms.

It's just that this lotus flower is upside down and opens, and the lotus canopy of the center of gravity is exposed.

With a "bang", all the petals unfolded, and the round lotus pod in the center also came into everyone's eyes.

The metal tube holding the lotus slowly extended downward until it coincided with the depression in the center.

Click!

The crisp sound was extremely obvious throughout the cave, and the next moment the ground under his feet began to tremble, the walls on both sides began to tremble, and the high platform standing in the center actually slowly sank towards the ground.

The flowers connected to it rose again, and the open petals closed again, returning to their previous appearance.

With a thud, the surrounding tremors disappeared again, leaving only a pitch-black path leading below.
