Volume IX Section 26 Ritual Shadows

Led by Makkimi, the stone finally entered the last large wooden door with the emblem of the Arutis clan inscribed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, after entering the inside, the stone was stunned by the scene in front of him, and he was a little unable to come back to his senses at once. originally thought that since this place was so mysterious, there must be some big man living in it. The decoration in the room must be magnificent, the furniture is the best, not to mention the guards or something, it is definitely the elite of the elite.

But the truth is that behind the gate is a cave. What big people, what luxurious rooms, what guards, none of these things, the only thing they have is a seemingly strange waterhole at the top of the stairs not far away.

The edge of the waterhole is lit up by a few lamps with the characteristics of "bright pearls", illuminating a corner of the cave. And the water droplets falling from the top of the cave "Ding Dong, Ding Dong" continue to fall into the pool, making a crisp sound, echoing throughout Shandong.

Seeing such a place, the stone was stunned on the spot. And Leni, who also came here for the first time, also twitched the corners of her mouth, and it was a little difficult to accept for a while.

"Old man, here... What is it for?" Glancing at Makkimi beside him, Leni couldn't help but ask.

It was really hard for her to understand why there was such a dilapidated and useless cave in the palace of Shidu. Obviously, this is a bit unreasonable. The imperial palace can now be said to be a symbol of the entire stone capital, but in such a building, there is actually a cave?

However, Mark Kimi disagreed, smiled and walked to the waterhole at the end of the cave.

Leni didn't hesitate and followed. As for the stone, it will naturally not be stunned, and it will step forward, for fear of missing something.

Don't look at it here, it's not surprising, but this kid does understand. Not to mention, the nine wooden doors before the light are not something that ordinary places can have. Don't look at yourself to pass through unimpeded, but if someone wants to force their way in, they will definitely not get any benefit.

At this time, Makkimi said as he walked: "You should have seen the previous 'Nine Door Dao Block', how do you feel?" ”

"Nine Door Road Block?" Shi was stunned for a moment, but did not speak.

However, Leni shook her body, as if she suddenly remembered something, "Old man, you said those doors are the legendary 'Nine Gates'?"

"Hehehe, yes. ”

"Silk...", with a puzzled expression, Leni continued to ask, "Those nine people are the 'gatekeepers'?"

"Yo?" Makkimi couldn't help but glance back at his granddaughter, "Girl, it seems that you know quite a lot?"

As if to understand the stakes, Leni swallowed. "Why is this 'Nine Gates' in the Imperial Palace of our Stone Capital? I remember that it was only a legendary existence in our 'Birebezi' city, and no one knew where it was. ”

"Hehehe, legends are based on real things. Although the legend is not necessarily true, it can't be said that it is false, right? ”

Makkimi's seemingly non-answering answer did not satisfy Lennie, and she asked, "Then why is there such a thing as 'Nine Door Barriers' in the palace?"

After a slight pause, Mark Kimi looked at the top of the stairs. Then he took another step and continued along the stairs.

"It's not why there are 'Nine Gate Barriers' inside the palace, but why there is a palace outside the 'Nine Gate Barriers'. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Leni obviously heard some clues, and she didn't say anything in shock.

"This cave has existed here for a long time. Later, under the man's anti-heaven methods, the 'Nine Gates Road Block' was moved here in order to protect this cave. ”

"Later, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, we simply established our current Shiguo Imperial Palace outside of this 'Nine Gate Road Barrier'. ”

Leni fell into deep thought, and her brows furrowed even more. Mark Kimi's words have overturned some of his perceptions of the Stone Kingdom Palace.

However, Leni also knew that Mackimi, who was her grandfather, would never deceive her, so she forcibly accepted it for the time being: "Since it was that person who made the move, he would definitely be able to do such an incredible thing." ”

At this time, the stone can be said to be completely dizzy. This kid didn't understand what the grandfather and grandson in front of him were talking about, this was a cave and a palace, what "Nine Door Barriers", what "Gate Guards" were all there.

And just when the stone couldn't figure out the situation, Mackimi's figure suddenly stopped. The stone also found that the three of them seemed to have reached the top of the stairs, that is, the platform where the waterhole was located.

This waterhole gives the stone an extremely strange feeling from the start. You say that someone built a waterhole on the stairs, this is not a mountain or river, nor is it a place of interest, who will come here for sightseeing and rest.

And when the kid actually came to the edge of the waterhole, this strange feeling became even stronger. However, since he didn't even know more than Leni at the moment, he didn't say anything.

I don't know if Makkimi was a little out of breath because of the continuous climbing, or if he was a little excited because he was in this cave again. He stared at the waterhole below him and said, "This waterhole is no ordinary waterhole. As for why, you'll find out later. ”

The figure squatted decisively and knelt on the edge of the waterhole, and Makkimi beckoned to Lenny, "Quick, hurry up." Let's see if you can find anything. ”

At this time, there seemed to be a hint of anticipation on Mackimi's face. He was a little impatient to ask Leni to come closer.

Leni doesn't care, since they have already come, they can't come in vain. Therefore, he also consciously stepped forward, and the scholar Mark Kimi, like him, knelt down on the edge of the waterhole.

Seeing this, the curiosity of the stone is also a little raised. But no one called his name, and this kid didn't take the initiative to step forward.

Soon, though, Mackimi seemed to realize that there was still a stone on the field, and beckoned to him, "Hehe, stone, you come over too." ”

I don't know for what reason, but my heart suddenly rejoiced. The stone strolled forward, and knelt down by the waterhole.

All of a sudden, the three of them were like elk drinking water, all facing down, looking out in the waterhole.

Unfortunately, after repeated careful careful examination of the stones, I did not find anything unusual about this pool. Who is the water, this pool is still a pool, and it seems that it is no different from an ordinary pool.

And he is not the only one who thinks the same as the stone. After staring at Tan Zhong carefully for a long time, Leni on the side got up impatiently.

After patting off the water stains on the trouser legs, he said: "Old man, what about playing me, this is also a "nine-door roadblock" and a "gatekeeper", in order to protect this pool of broken water?"

At this time, Mackimi didn't seem to be displeased by Lenny's words, on the contrary, he was very happy, and he didn't know what he saw in the water before, and he looked excited, "Girl, Hugh has to talk nonsense." ”

"I'm talking nonsense, hehehe, well, you always give me some pointers, what else can you see in this water besides my reflection?" Leni was a little unconvinced, she even used a trace of soul power to submerge into the water before, not to mention that she felt anything unusual, not even a hair.

As soon as he heard Leni's words, the stone couldn't help but let out a "hehe", and his heart was happy. This Leni mentor is really not afraid of heaven and earth, and even dares to talk to his grandfather like this. The status of people in the stone country, which is almost a transcendent mortal existence, should be respected a little.

Just when the stone sighed that Leni didn't respect the old man very much, but at this moment, the kid actually showed a look of surprise. Looking at where Mark Kimi was in disbelief, he opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak for a while.

Not far away, Mark Kimi seemed to notice the appearance of the stone, and smiled slightly, "Hehehe, girl, I used to say that you are not as good as a stone, but you still don't believe it." Look, even our little friends have found out. ”

Leni was stunned and turned to look at the stone. "Hey, kid, what did you find?"

"Mentor Lenny... Your Highness... The reflection of His Highness...."The stone was terrified, and his hand at Makkimi trembled a little.

"Grandpa's reflection?" Confused, Leni stepped up behind Mark Kimi and looked down at the water.

Since Mackimi was still kneeling on the edge of the pool before, Leni stretched her neck slightly to look into the water, and the reflection of her head appeared alone in the water.

I wonder what the stone saw, but there is nothing in the water. But suddenly, Lennie's whole person took a few steps back, and almost rolled down the stairs without stepping into the air.

"Old man, you—" looked at Makkimi in disbelief, and Leni showed the same surprise as the stone, if not more so.

However, Mark Kimi disagreed, as if he had long known the difference, and he smiled faintly, "Hehehe, you finally found out." ”

He slowly stood up from the edge of the waterhole and straightened the creases in his shirt from crouching. "This waterhole is called 'Yiying' and it can present the future. ”

"Presenting the future?" As soon as he heard these four words, Shi almost dislocated his jaw. Presenting the future, what a miracle it is. It's no wonder that there are so many restrictions before entering this cave, it turns out that there is a waterhole here that can present the future.

Listen to Makkimi continue: "There is a very special thing about 'Yiying', and it may be a little inappropriate to deliberately say that it can 'present the future', it should be said to show the future state of the characters. ”

"However, from a certain point of view, this 'Yiying' does have the effect of 'presenting the future'. ”

Leni obviously didn't care about Mark Kimi's explanation, she was going to say, "Grandpa, why don't you have a reflection in the water?"

"Hehehe, girl, as I said before, 'Yiying' can show the future state of the character. As long as there is a reflection in the water, then the person has a future. On the contrary, hehehehehe..." )
