Chapter 492: The Vanishing Dragon Horn
In the middle of the wide field, the ground is covered with neat stone slabs.
The dragon stone pillars are arranged in a staggered manner in this vast area, guarding the pyramid-like altar in the center.
Ropes hang down from the rock wall above, and a bronze chime is tied to each rope, swaying gently in the breeze.
And in the gaps of those stone pillars, there are occasionally huge shell storage vessels, the traces of time can erode these chrome utensils, even now, they are still as smooth as new, whether it is the cattle and sheep on the top, or the twisted faces on the body, all of them are vivid.
And on the front of the pyramid altar, there are carved heads.
Snakes, apes, frogs, bats......
Densely packed together, as if in the abyss of hell.
And everywhere on the ground, every few meters there is always a small, more than one meter high Jingguan building.
The dense bones, the bare and hideous bones, make people feel chills in their hearts after a glance.
"That's right...... The style of these heads ......" Professor Zhao took a deep breath, with excitement in his eyes: "It is indeed very similar to the things we found before in the ancient Dian Kingdom, as well as those shellfish storage vessels ......"
"This should be the original processing and construction of the Ancient Dian Kingdom, and sure enough, this is the so-called Ancient Dian Kingdom Treasure Land!"
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and he stepped forward, and the flashlight shone on the surrounding stone slabs and walls, only to see murals on the flat walls.
The colors of the paintings are so bright that even thousands of years have not mottled them off.
And the walls around each painting have several lamps guarding them.
These lamps are not unobstructed black backgrounds, but transparent crystals, and a layer of dim yellow light is revealed when the flashlight shines through.
Although there were no fireworks, everyone seemed to be feeling the temperature above.
Syllable!
A crisp sound appeared out of thin air, and a little firelight flickered from above in the field of vision. The next moment, the spark fell and sprinkled into the lamp, and the next moment, thousands of lamps lit up one after another, and one after another the light bloomed in the darkness.
One, two, three......
Like a domino in motion, a faint glow shone directly on the entire area in a short period of time!
Thousands of lights flickered in the breeze, and the stone statues with a bit of hideous and weirdness also added a bit of softness in this dim light.
And before this light, the field that was originally impossible to see because of the darkness also became clear.
"Mr. Jiang, look here!"
Fang Yunye's voice was a little excited and surprised.
Jiang Xian looked over, only to see the turntable, hook lock, and handle at the corner of the corner...... All sorts of tools are installed there. Next to these tools, there are obvious mechanisms extending from the walls, apparently controlled with those tools.
In addition to the two tools and the bare mechanism, there was a low altar in the corner, and above the altar, a familiar object was placed—
Tortoise shell.
White jade tortoise shell.
Jiang Xian took a deep breath, glanced at the tortoise shell, and turned his gaze to the direction opposite the tortoise shell.
There, there were the same tools, the same altar, but instead of tortoise shells, there was a white jade-like skeleton ready to fly. He didn't leave immediately, but looked up, only to see that the lamps on the walls there were not as dense as elsewhere, but more regular, outlining a familiar pattern above.
"South Away Suzaku...... Suzaku Seven Nights. ”
Lin Ruoxue spoke, her eyes moved slightly, the lamp above the tortoise shell just now was also the revealed Xuanwu Qisu!
In that case, then the East and the West are not ...... The Seven Nights of the Green Dragon and the Seven Nights of the White Tiger? ”
As the words came out, everyone's eyes looked at the east and west, and sure enough, an altar was also found in the two places, the same star lamp, and the white jade-like bones, one corresponding to the dragon and the other corresponding to the white tiger.
It's just that......
"Why is this little dragon missing one of its horns?"
Zhuang Yushan said a little strangely.
The dragon bone on the Eastern Altar is not big, this skeleton is not even two meters, not to mention the monsters in the Misty Valley Divine Habitat, even compared to the normal pythons in the outside world, it is not long.
But this dragon bone was the skeleton that most resembled the legendary dragon they had ever seen.
Not only do they have horns that extend out, but there are also four legs growing out of the lower abdomen!
And the position of the skull is completely different from the skull of a python, more similar to that of a horse or a camel.
In the supplement "Erya Wings" made by Luo Yuan of the Song Dynasty for Erya, there are relevant descriptions in the release of the dragon: the horns are like a deer, the head is like a camel, the eyes are like a rabbit, the neck is like a snake, the belly is like a mirage, the scales are like a fish, the claws are like an eagle, the palm is like a tiger, and the ears are like a cow......
They had seen many horned snakes before, calling them dragons, but the image of these so-called dragons was still more like snakes.
And now, this white jade-like skeleton, which is no more than two meters, has more dragon characteristics.
Except for the dragon horns above.
"This dragon horn seems to have been cut off...... Lin Ruoxue looked at the dragon horn with a thoughtful look on her face.
"Someone cut off ......" Professor Zhao groaned slightly, and then took a step forward, heading towards the keel in the east, but he hadn't gone far before his footsteps stopped involuntarily, the beard on his chin trembled slightly, his breathing was slightly heavy, and his eyes changed when he looked ahead.
Well?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, the Zhuang brothers and sisters glanced at each other, and Zhuang Yushan also cautiously walked towards the east.
His steps came to Professor Zhao's side, and then, as well, he stopped moving forward.
Same position, same distance, same state......
Their pupils constricted, as if they had seen some shocking scene, and they couldn't even speak, they couldn't tell.
Jiang Xian looked at the keel, then at the two of them, and walked over in the same way, and when he came to Professor Zhao and the two, he suddenly felt that the light of the entire space was converging in front of him. The translucent lamp refracted the light, making the skeleton in front of him instantly taller.
The breeze blew, the chill penetrated his body, and a mist seemed to rise up around him, enveloping him.
The next moment, the clouds and mist surged, and the scales and claws loomed in the clouds, wandering non-stop.
With a high-pitched sound, the clouds and mist dispersed like splitting waves, and a mighty and majestic dragon suddenly came into view!
Jiang Xian's pupils contracted, his heart was certain, and he came back to his senses in an instant: "Illusion...... See Illusion? Using the arrangement of lamps in the entire space, as well as those strange bones, people can see the four elephants within a certain range......"
I see......
This is a method used here as a gate, a means to block the separation between the inside and the outside.
That Wudang patriarch, a Taoist immortal, has studied here for many years, and his research on seeing gods is far above him......
But that's not why he's happy.
Jiang Xian's heart froze, and his whole body trembled suddenly, and cracks appeared in the space in the surrounding field of vision, and then shattered like glass.
When all the fragments were peeled off, the reality reappeared in his eyes, and he saw the keel again, and the missing dragon horn.
Reaching out and touching the backpack, he sensed the location of the "ivory" map, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, where was the ivory, the so-called ivory was clearly the horn missing from the dragon corpse in front of him! Moreover, after experiencing Qinglong's seeing of God again, his mind was lit up.
The map inside the Dragon's Horn is not just a map.
There is also how to use dragon horns!
Jiang Xian suppressed the excitement in his heart and patted Professor Zhao and Zhuang Yushan.
The two who came to their senses still showed shock and emotion in their eyes.
"I already know what to do." He looked at everyone: "Professor Zhao and Senior Zhuang, you go to the Vermilion Bird position, the old Fang you go to the White Tiger Position, Ruoxue goes to the Qinglong Position, and then listen to my command." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and headed for the Xuanwu position, and several people listened to his orders and went to their respective positions in turn.
"Old side, the third turntable sticking out on the left side, turning thirty degrees clockwise."
"Professor Zhao, the seventh stone pillar on the right side, push it, turn it to the right, push it to the left five times in a row, and then drag it outward."
"Ruoxue, you have two lower ...... on the right side"
Jiang Xian pushed the stone pillar in front of him in his hand, giving orders in his mouth, and constantly watching their respective actions. As the orders continued to be issued, the organs continued to move, and the sound of clicking sounded in this vast space.
The lamps on the rock wall, and the stone pillars and statues on the ground that seemed to be inlaid with them, were all slowly trembling.
Light refracts, light and shadow are chaotic.
The changing light of the lamp, reflected on the corpses and strange stone pillars, made the whole space seem to be three degrees colder, with a somewhat eerie feeling.
However, this feeling did not appear long before a rumbling sound was heard, and the speed of change of the stone pillars increased sharply.
Jiang Xian's eyes suddenly froze, and the orders in his mouth also accelerated, and the overall layout of this place immediately appeared in his mind, simulating it while moving.
As the last sentence came out of his mouth, he let out a long breath, took two steps back, and turned to look at the area behind him where the change had been completed.
Boom!
With this sound, it seemed that everything had settled, and the flickering light became brighter, and those twisted heads and statues seemed to add a little softness to this light.
If one could look down from above, they would see that the stone pillars and the lamps combined with the altar to form a pattern—
Basalt Rock Diagram!
It is also a feng shui mechanism diagram hidden in the ivory.
"That's it?" Fang Yunye's eyes were a little surprised, although the technique was more complicated, this was indeed the easiest mechanism he had ever dealt with since he followed Jiang Xian.
"It's supposed to be reinforced, so of course it won't be too troublesome." Jiang Xian looked at a few people: "Although Zhang Zhenren has spent decades, we only need to deal with it on the basis of his setting and arrangement, which is naturally much easier." ”
"But ......"
"It's really too fast, it's a little abnormal."
