Chapter 9 The Ancient Palace of Ten Thousand Years
When Li Xuanji and Jin Ning were about to exit the ancient tomb, they were dumbfounded when they saw the scene in front of them.
The two of them entered the cave ghost spider cave to find the light from the lantern plants and sun stones in the cave, and remembered that the cave they came from was very spacious and empty. But in front of me, a large stone hall appeared!
Li Xuanji held the lamp in the study room high, trying to see if he was dazzled. The light of the study lamp shone out for dozens of feet, and a behemoth emerged from the darkness.
The main hall is all made of huge stones, the height is more than ten zhang, almost half of the height of the cave, and the width is nearly thirty zhang, which is particularly majestic and atmospheric. Thick stone pillars stand in a forest, supporting the high tile cornices on the main hall; in front of the main hall are dozens of wide steps, as if to welcome the envoys from all directions; the stone is carved with all kinds of birds and beasts, rare and exotic beasts, many myths and legends of the divine beasts can be found on it; the main entrance of the main hall is closed, there is no gap, as if it has not been opened for thousands of years.
Hallucinations? Lost?
Li Xuanji and Jin Ning looked at each other.
"Let's go, go over and have a look. Now that you've lost your way, you might as well go over and take a look. Maybe there really is some miracle that will allow you and me to get extraordinary creation. Li Xuanji leaned on Jin Ning's back and teased.
"Hmm. I hurt you this time, if the two of us really can't get out, I'll be your burial. ”
"What a fool's that you want to die, but I haven't lived enough. The two of us will be able to get out! Maybe the weird hall in front of us is our chance to get out. Li Xuanji patted Jin Ning's shoulder and comforted.
"And in such a mysterious place, there may be a lot of divine weapons hidden in it. Although you hacked the cave ghost spider to death before, you also cut my purple bamboo cane into wastewood. If I had a powerful magic weapon in my hand before, I wouldn't have been beaten by the cave ghost spider so easily that I vomited blood. ”
"Uncle Junior, I really didn't mean to. Jin Ning couldn't help blushing when she thought of the 'miserable' appearance of Li Xuanji's purple bamboo cane.
Jin Ning carried Li Xuanji up the stairs step by step and came to the main entrance of the main hall.
The main door of the main hall is five zhang high, and it is carved from two pure stone slabs, and each door is carved with a fierce and huge beast, as if roaring at the visitor. In the center of the two doors are carved two hideous dragons, enclosing a boxy frame. In the frame are some ancient characters, four columns of twenty-eight characters, the font is slender and beautiful, but it is simple and difficult to understand, and today's font is very different.
"Uncle Junior, can such a big stone door be pushed open?" Jin Ning looked at the huge hall door with a little difficulty, and freed one hand to push it and try it.
"Don't move!" Li Xuanji was startled and hurriedly stopped Jin Ning's move.
"What's wrong?"
Li Xuanji didn't answer, but groped out a silver ingot from his arms and threw it towards the stone door of the main hall.
Jin Ning was about to ask suspiciously, but her eyes suddenly widened.
Before the silver ingot flew towards the stone gate and hit the stone gate, a yellow ripple appeared in the stone gate, blocking the silver ingot, and the silver ingot just touched the yellow ripples and silently decomposed inch by inch and turned into dust!
The sight of the silver ingots turning into fly ash frightened Jin Ning. Fortunately, Li Xuanji stopped his recklessness in advance, otherwise he would definitely be hit, even if he would not die, the lightest result would be the loss of an arm.
"How can this be, every door is so dangerous!" Jin Ning took a few steps back.
Li Xuanji looked around at the floors on both sides in front of the stone gate and couldn't help but smile.
"Jin Ning, do you see that square pattern there? It's the one that looks like a futon. Stand up, prostrate on the ground. ”
Jin Ning followed the direction of Li Xuanji's finger, and sure enough, he saw a shallow square pattern carved on the stone floor in front of the stone door, with a row on the left and right. The pattern is beautiful and delicate, and it really looks like the pattern on the futon. Jin Ning gently put Li Xuanji on the ground, and also followed Li Xuanji's appearance and prostrate on the pattern.
After Li Xuanji saw that everything was fine, he raised his hand and flicked, and four streamers flew towards the ancient characters in the center of the stone gate, and then hit the four ancient characters one by one. The stone gate instantly glowed with a powerful yellow light, spewing out like volcanic lava.
"Be careful!" Seeing this, Jin Ning hurriedly pressed Li Xuanji under him.
A strong wind blew in my ears, and I only felt a lot of dust and stone chips falling down.
When the two of them looked up again, everything was back to normal, and they were unharmed. That ray of light swept almost without dead ends, but it missed the place where Li Xuanji and Jin Ning were. Looking at the stone door of the main hall, I don't know when a three-foot-wide gap has been exposed, and the inside is brightly lit and unusually bright.
"Haha, I just knew it was him. Only he could be so arrogant!" Li Xuanji laughed happily.
"What's going on, Uncle Junior, how did you open the stone door? Do you know the words on it?Why didn't the two of us get hurt?" Jin Ning looked at the scene in front of him and was puzzled.
"Jin Ning, after completing the task and returning to the master's gate, can you go to the Tibetan Scripture Hall to read more classics? Don't always think about practicing swords, reading more books will really be of great benefit to you. Li Xuanji said a little seriously. A boy of twelve or thirteen years old teaches a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, which makes people feel a little weird.
"I just want to sleep when I read those books......," Jin Ning whispered.
"Forget it, don't force it. Let me explain it to you. Li Xuanji stroked his forehead and sighed.
The ancient characters on this are beautiful and euphemistic, as if there is a rhyme flowing, it is a rune font more than 10,000 years ago, and it is recorded in the classics in the division. There are twenty-eight runes engraved on the stone gate, which is actually a poem:
The sky is vast and the years are long,
The dynasty is easy to change and wars endlessly.
Slaughtering billions of unjust souls,
I am willing to destroy the Nine Shadows for the front!
The poem is supposed to have been written by the owner of the tomb, though it is not clear what he intended to write it. But I know that there is a trap hidden in this poem, which is the key to the stone door of this great hall.
At that time, that person ruled the world, fought in all directions, was almost invincible, established a dynasty with his bare hands, and was also quite arrogant. However, although he is arrogant, he is not tyrannical, so he will definitely leave a way for future generations to live. And the way to live will only be left to those who respect him.
Do you look at the pattern under us like the position of a courtier from all directions? As long as we consider ourselves a courtier and salute him in this place, he will naturally let us go. And the man liked the courtiers to shout four words to him, so I discovered the mystery in this poem. When I hit 'Long live our emperor', the door opened.
In my opinion, this should also be a joke made by that character to future generations. If he was really domineering and ruthless, he would have used all the tricks to kill the intruders. ”
"I see. Fortunately, you read a lot of books!" Jin Ning suddenly brightened up after listening to Li Xuanji's explanation, and secretly glad that he broke in with Li Xuanji. If it were him, he would definitely be dead.
"Uncle Xiaoshi, I'll carry you. ”
"Don't, I ......"
Before Li Xuanji could speak, he was pulled to his back by Jin Ning, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
Jin Ning carried Li Xuanji on his back and cautiously walked into the main hall. The main hall is brightly lit, and it turns out that it is illuminated by a stone lamp made of sun stone. The lifespan of the Sunstone is only a few hundred years, but this ancient tomb is 10,000 years old. I don't know what kind of means were used to make these sun stones immortal.
The main hall is very spacious and atmospheric, and there is probably no difference between it and the real court hall. Several pillars stand on both sides of the main hall, supporting the entire temple. There are still a few passages in the corners of the main hall, and I don't know where they lead.
Li Xuanji originally thought that this time the hall would really be golden and brilliant, full of all kinds of rare treasures, but after coming in, he realized that it was also dilapidated. There are many traces that prove that this place was once full of things, but then it was all moved, and it was a real joy.
"Let's go, go around. Li Xuanji said with a lack of interest.
Jin Ning was about to take a look around with Li Xuanji behind his back, but the two of them suddenly heard a faint voice.
Could it be that there are people here too?
