Chapter 107: Just Inside the Sunset Palace
Everyone packed up and returned to the ground, and not far in front of them was the sunset palace, and without staying too long, everyone moved forward steadily.
"Lao Bai, you say...... We have gone through a lot of hardships and finally arrived at the entrance of this underground palace, will we encounter any more difficulties!? Like a big scorpion or something."
"Well, it's possible, this time this scorpion must take you away first, and then bite you in two with a click!"
Bai Ran made a killing gesture as he spoke, which frightened Han Feng and didn't dare to speak anymore, he was just directly swallowed by the huge mother sand-footed insect, and the sour feeling of being soaked in stomach acid was vivid!
"Young Master Han, please rest assured, this road has been explored many years ago, including the inside of the Sunset Palace, there is no risk, is it just the entrance to this underground palace...... Ay...... Don't say much! Don't say much! I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it."
Boss Zhou shook his head as he spoke, maybe he remembered his sad past again, as if he was going to take out a handkerchief to wipe his face.
"Okay, Lao Zhou, we'll go in in a while, let's accompany you to pay a good tribute to your deceased brothers, as for the underground palace, it's dark this day, I think it's tomorrow! It's not bad for a while! Bai Ran said and looked back at everyone, everyone nodded one after another, this is human nature, and everyone fully understands.
Between the words, everyone had arrived at the main entrance of the Sunset Palace, and at this time the sunset had completely set, Bai Ran looked up by chance, and saw that the stone circle on the main entrance of the palace seemed to have a red ray released!
"Brother Ran! What are you looking at!? Su Ailin suddenly shouted to Bai Ran, and just stretched out her hand to pat Bai Ran's shoulder, but immediately took her hand back again, or stop tossing Bai Ran!
"Oh, Erin, do you see if there is a ...... in the stone circle on the main entrance of the palace" Bai Ran looked more closely, and the red ray had disappeared in an instant!
"Huh!? Well!? What's wrong Brother Ran!? Is there anything strange about this!? ”
"Oh...... There is no ......" Bai Ran scratched his head, he really couldn't explain what happened just now, but he always felt that the red ray seemed to be pointing somewhere on the ground! And this red ray only appears at a special time when the sun sets!
"Gone! Old white! It's getting dark! The desert outside is going to cool down in no time! Don't get cold outside! ”
"Oh...... Oh......"
Listening to the call of the cold wind, Bai Ran and Su Ailin also hurried into the Sunset Palace, and as soon as they entered the door, the sky behind them instantly turned black! And then there's the wind! The temperature plummets!
"Brother Ran, this outside world is really evil enough! All at once it became so fast! If we had come in a little late just now, wouldn't it have been all frozen outside!? ”
"Yes, Irene, this is the night of the desert, the day is still the scorching sun, extremely hot, when the night, the temperature difference between day and night is rapidly widened, the temperature will drop rapidly, so that the water molecules in the air will quickly condense, frost falls, and even wind and snow will come!"
"Alright, Lao Bai! Look at these! The cold wind in the lobby greeted loudly, and Bai Ran turned his head to look at the interior of the ancient palace.
This palace is completely different from the sacrificial temples and residential bazaars that I have seen before, and the walls of this palace are engraved with the golden phoenix, the spiritual totem of the ancient Xixia Kingdom!
The interior of the entire palace can be said to be magnificent, although it has been eroded by thousands of years, but the beautiful golden lines on the walls, and colorful gems are embellished among them!
In particular, the rows of pure gold candlesticks on the wall tell everyone about the glory of this magnificent palace in the past!
"Bald! I'm weird! You are such a money-loving person, why didn't you leave with your brothers and sisters in the first place!? Han Feng put his hand on Boss Zhou's shoulder and asked in a slightly joking tone.
"Go, go! Han Gongzi, don't make fun of me! We ink artists have always been very well-behaved! What treasures and riches, those are not in the eyes of my inkers! The purpose of our original purpose here was just for the dragon soul bead on the crown of the king of the ancient Xixia Kingdom! ”
"Oh! Oh! Oh! That's what you were trying to do! Dragon Soul Orb! Tell me what is the secret of this Dragon Soul Bead!? ”
Finally being pulled by the cold wind with pigtails, Boss Zhou also knew that he had said too much, so he hurriedly covered his mouth and hurriedly turned around, but accidentally collided with Bai Ran!
"What's wrong with you, Old Zhou!? Hanfeng asked you about the Dragon Soul Bead, why did you react so much!? What secrets are there, you talk to the big guys, don't hide anything! ”
"Well, it's okay to tell you! One of the secrets that has been passed down for many years by our ink artists is that the Dragon Soul Bead has the effect of bringing people's souls back to life! Legend has it that the dragon soul bead originated from the Jade Dragon Island on the coast of the East China Sea, and there was a white jade dragon on that island that called for wind and rain and endangered the world! Later, he was killed by the immortals of Dongdu, and before he died, the white jade dragon spit out a huge dragon soul with white light to the west! ”
"This is the original form of the Dragon Soul Bead!? Then if anyone uses this dragon soul bead to resurrect the dead, wouldn't that also activate the hateful white jade dragon!? Hanfeng asked rhetorically as he listened.
Boss Zhou nodded, "Anyway, our ink artist is like this, but right...... No one has ever seen it, and no one is sure, so I have to come to the underground palace of the ancient Xixia Kingdom to find out! ”
"Hey! But I didn't expect that the Dragon Soul Bead was not found, and several lives were taken! What a disappointment! The cold wind sighed fiercely beside him, and this time he mentioned Boss Zhou's sad past.
Bai Ran was afraid that Boss Zhou would cry again when he was excited, so he quickly changed the topic, "Okay, by the way, Hanfeng, you just said that I should come over and see something!?" Is there anything new!? ”
"Oh! Oh! Right, right! Lao Bai, come and take a look at this! Neither the bald head nor I can guess what the purpose of this thing is on the wall!? ”
While talking about the cold wind, he guided Bai Ran to the side wall of the lobby, and when he came to the front, Bai Ran was also taken aback when he looked up!
I saw that the side wall in front of me was full of all kinds of masks!
Bai Ran couldn't help frowning! I haven't heard of the custom that the people of the ancient Xixia Kingdom like to wear masks! Not to mention ordinary people, even the upper nobles, even the king himself, have never heard of anyone who loves to wear masks!?
"Old Zhou, the last time you came here, did you find a wall full of masks!?"
Boss Zhou suddenly shook his head, "No, definitely not, huh!?" How could this mask be so familiar......"
