Chapter 93: Divine Weapon Pavilion
Amid the tooth-wrenching sound of stone grinding, the stone door was slowly pushed open, and after the shadow clone confirmed that it was safe, the five of them entered the inner hall.
For a moment, bits and pieces of blue light rushed into everyone's eyes.
The inner sanctuary is made of unknown aqua-blue stone blocks, reflecting a dazzling blue light under the huge night pearl of the dome.
It was as if a blue filter had been applied to everything around them, and when everyone got used to it, they found that a huge mural occupied the stone wall facing everyone.
In addition, in the center of the inner sanctum, there is a special weapon rack, on which an armor and a trident stand silently.
Mian Ma first walked around the trident and armor, and after returning to the same place, he carefully examined the two "divine objects":
The trident is turquoise all over, and a golden dragon is coiled around the hilt. The armor is also a water blue, and the scale armor is stacked on top of each other, which looks quite heavy and full of security.
"What a halberd and armor!"
Mian Ma couldn't help but praise, even in the previous life, these two pieces were rare works of art, and it was hard to imagine that such a weapon could appear in such a world and such an era.
After a similar exclamation, the crowd bypassed the weapon rack and stopped in front of the huge mural.
Like the previous plaque, as soon as Mian Ma and the others looked at the mural in front of them, a majestic picture appeared in their minds:
A handsome man in blue armor, holding a trident of the same color, with blue hair and blue eyes, is hovering in the air on a giant seahorse.
Suddenly, he swung the trident in his hand, and huge waves spread out from himself, directly submerging the vast expanse of land below into the ocean.
He looked down at all this silently, raised the trident in his hand once more, and shouted:
"I amβthe king of water!"
At this time, everyone broke away from the scene just now and looked at the mural in front of them again, which was the picture of the King of Water holding a trident.
Terumi asked in surprise:
"Is this scene an illusion?"
Mian Ma shook his head:
"Nine-Tails said that he didn't feel the power of illusion, and it should be the same as before, through a mysterious power that directly transmitted the picture into our minds."
After the face was finished, he paced in place, looking like a "thinker".
The ghost shark on the side looked at the mural in front of him, and suddenly his little eyes rolled, as if he had thought of something, and after thinking for a while, he said:
"Mistress Ma, look at the ring in that man's hand! According to our information, the Daimyo of the Land of Water wears an identical ring on his hand. β
Mian Ma turned around and carefully looked at the mural in front of him, and the man who claimed to be the "King of Water" actually wore a ring engraved with the word "water" on his thumb.
"It seems that our daimyo is not as simple as it seems." He looked at the two people beside him,
"Ghost shark, Hades, do any of you know how many years the Land of Water has been founded?"
The two of them were not in a hurry to answer, they both silently calculated in their hearts, and finally Zhao Meiming spoke first:
"During a mission to escort the Water Royalty, I heard them say that their family has been serving as the daimyo of the Water Nation for 3,000 years. But there is no mention of the 'King of Water'. β
Mian Ma narrowed his eyes, subconsciously stroked his chin with one hand, and estimated in his heart:
"3000 years! This was a full 2,000 years before Kaguya came to this planet.
"Did the people of that era already have extremely great power in their hands? But why hasn't it been handed down? In the past thousand years, there has been no trace of the existence of any force other than the samurai. β
Terumi looked at her face numb and brows tightly immersed in her own world, sighed lightly, and walked towards Izumi.
"It's very abnormal for the five ninja villages to submit to the five major powers, not every shadow is as innocent as the Thousand Hands Pillar, but none of the shadows have escaped the checks and balances of the five powers...
"I've heard of the assassination of the Daimyo, but the position of the Daimyo has never fallen into the hands of other clans, which is extremely abnormal from the perspective of a country.
"It is impossible that in 3,000 years, there has not been a powerful Han Han who wants to overthrow the rule of the five great powers, in the face of these people and forces, if the daimyo himself did not have the strength to suppress everything, then they must have turned into the dust of history long ago."
Mian Ma rubbed his hands, his heart was a little weak, after defeating the Fog Hidden Village, the next thing was a head-on collision with the Daimyo of the Water Country, he didn't want to be ruined by humanity, he just hoped that there would be a way to break the situation in the Water Country Mausoleum that he accidentally discovered.
Mian Ma stopped thinking, clapped his hands, and gathered the four of them to gather around, and after some discussion, everyone went to the central hall with a heavy heart.
The five of them did not encounter any mechanism along the way, and arrived at the main hall safely and smoothly.
This is undoubtedly one of the many troubles for the face of the horse.
Maybe it's because the ninja world hasn't risen up yet, and there are no other protective measures in the mausoleum except for the dense fog at the beginning. But in a few years, the cemetery of the strong will be frequented.
The unknown blue stone once again jumped into everyone's field of vision, reflecting each other in the main hall of 100 meters long and wide.
Unlike the smooth walls of the side hall, the stone walls of the main hall are painted with delicate carvings, birds and animals.
Only on the east side of the main hall is a huge stone gate, and a giant fish creature is carved on the left and right sides of the stone gate, and the word "royal tomb" is written on the plaque.
As is customary, the shadow clones are responsible for pushing open the door and confirming security.
As the stone door opened, a stout stone monument was the first to be revealed.
Behind the stele is a circular waterhole with a radius of about 30 meters, and I don't know how many years have passed, the water inside is still abundant, glowing with blue glow, and the depth is not clear.
An ice coffin floats in the center of a waterhole, and inside lies a blue-haired man in civilian clothes.
Mian Ma did not rush to the waterhole, but looked at the stele first, and was easily immersed in the words that appeared in his mind:
The 7th Water King, Mizuzexi, the most powerful water king, one of the five kings of the Ember Empire, and the leader of the Esoteric Sect "Take", wanted to seize the authority of water in 777 in the Ember Calendar, but was given death by the Cloud Emperor after failure and ruled himself on the White Island.
After reading this epitaph-like record, Mian Ma did not feel suddenly enlightened, but with in-depth understanding, more questions arose.
How did an empire with a history of at least 700 years, a Yun Emperor who let such a powerful figure arbitrarily cut himself at will, turned into the dust of history and was completely buried? What is "Esoteric Sect" and what does "seizure" mean?
He paced back and forth, and when he passed by the ghost shark, he suddenly looked up and asked:
"The name of the Daimyo of the Land of Water is 'water', right?"
