The iron-eater wagged its tiny tail and twisted out of the stone-made study.

Ying Zheng looked at the little beast and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"A little." "But if you want to stay here for a few days, I can save some food."

Ying Zheng smiled: "Let's take a look at the Naxi Queen Mother Temple tomorrow, we should go back if there is nothing to do, even if we want to stay for a few days, it won't wait that long for Twenty-seven."

"Then we'll all eat something." Xiao Nian Beast said, "Don't you want to read, I'll guard the door for you."

"Okay."

Ying Zheng took out the raw meat prepared for the little beast from his bag, and took out the marinated jerky and chewed it.

After eating and drinking, Ying Zheng found an old candlestick, put on some lamp oil, and began to read the history of the place.

Before coming here, he would never have thought that ancient books such as "Shennong Sutra", "Yellow Emperor Sutra", "Lianshan", "Returning to Tibet" and other ancient books were actually engraved on those tortoise shells and animal bones by the West King Youchao, and then hidden in the guardian places of various divine beasts.

Because he has always been dealing with dense stones, it is easy for Youchao to depict these, and in the process of carving, of course, he also has some sense of the content inside.

It can be seen from Youchao's message that Fu Xi once told him in detail what kind of world the ancient civilization was, what kind of advanced technology it had, and what kind of advanced theories and deep logic those classics that were collected to restart human civilization.

Ying Zheng opened the first book, called "Bagua Map", which was obviously an interpretation of the classics left by Fu Xi, so he began to study it carefully.

This man and beast had already turned on their divinity, and even if they didn't sleep, they didn't feel too sleepy, so one was flipping through the ancient books by candlelight, and the other was watching the door by his side.

I don't know how much time passed, Ying Zheng stretched, yawned, looked at the little beast and asked, "What time is it?"

"It's about an hour." It replied, "You've been up all night, so you must have watched a lot of it."

Ying Zheng nodded: "The content of this ancient book is really incisive, and I read it unconsciously, and I didn't feel sleepy at all."

"If you think it's good, then ask the Iron Eater to see if you can take it." Xiao Nian Beast said, "Wouldn't it be a waste to put it here to eat soil."

"That's right." Ying Zheng smiled, "I'll ask him in a moment."

The two of them ate some more and drank some water, and then walked out of the study, only to see the iron-eaters coming towards them from the hall.

"How's the rest?" It asked.

Ying Zheng smiled: "The content of this book is indeed rich, I haven't rested yet, I don't know if there are other books in this Xiwang Pavilion?"

"That's all for the Western King's Pavilion." The Iron Eater said, "There are still some in the Temple of the Queen Mother of Nasi."

Ying Zheng arched his hand and said, "Dare to ask my seniors, can you let me take these ancient books away?"

The Iron Eater blinked the dark eyes and scratched the little black ear on the left, and then said, "If you completely repair the dragon vein, then of course you can, but my lady said not yet."

Ying Zheng: "......"

I didn't expect this guy to be a little scared.

"Where is thy wife, we ought to see her." The little beast said.

"At the Temple of the Queen Mother of the West." The Iron Eater said, "If you don't need to rest, you can come with me now."

"No need to rest." Ying Zheng waved his hand, "Let's go."

The Iron Eater nodded, turning to lead the way.

Ying Zheng followed behind with the little beast, entered the front lobby, and then walked through a corridor to a stone door.

The stone door was open, much like the one he had walked in before, only a little larger.

Beyond the stone gate, there was a mountain stream and a ladder in front of him.

It seems that this place is a separate hill.

Ying Zheng asked curiously, "Senior, I have some

I wonder why there is a cave at the bottom of this Kunlun Mountain, just like an independent small world."

"Because this place was originally under the sea." "The seabed was originally quite flat, but the huge topographic changes squeezed the original seabed into a high mountain, so there was a lot of space inside it."

"And how far is this space from the ground?"

"It's almost flush." The Iron Eater said, "Down there, it's the water source level and the red veins."

Ying Zheng realized this in his heart and followed it up the ladder.

Touching the steel cable of the ladder, Ying Zheng sighed: "This ladder is really ingenious, I don't think my Jingjia class may be able to make such a strong suspension bridge, I want to come to Emperor Shennong to build a bridge, and I also have this kind of attainment."

"That's true." The Iron Eater said, "It is said that Emperor Shennong will come here to ask him when he encounters a problem that cannot be solved, and the King of the West at that time is already in his twilight years."

As he spoke, he had crossed the ladder and came to the opposite mountainside.

I saw another secret passage appear in front of me, extending straight into the belly of the mountain in front of me.

"How far is it?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Not far." "This secret passage connects a simple labyrinth, and through that labyrinth, you will reach the Temple of the Queen Mother of the West."

Ying Zheng didn't ask any more questions, and followed it into the secret passage.

Sure enough, this secret passage is not too long, and at the end is an open stone door.

Entering the stone gate, it was a secret room, but Ying Zheng couldn't cry or laugh after seeing it.

Compared with the structure of this secret room and the tomb of King Wu, it seems that the size of the stone gate is not the same, and there are two stone doors on the opposite side, if you go wrong, you will enter the labyrinth.

"Come with me." With that, the Iron Eater walked through the stone door on the left.

Ying Zheng answered, followed, and took out the Xuantie compass as he walked.

The snail also works here.

It seems that both the secret room built with dense stone and the origin of the dark iron snail can be traced back to the body of the West King Youchao.

After about a dozen or so secret rooms, I finally came to a secret passage, and through the stone door in front of this secret passage, it was a relatively spacious space.

In this space, there are five pools, the position and shape are basically the same as before, but the size is nearly doubled.

"This is the true source of the five elements, right?" Ying Zheng asked.

"That's right." "This is the real source, the five sources come together in one place, so that the turbid water is formed, and then it is re-squeezed and flows outside."

"That's the mother river of Huaxia, it's kind to listen to."

Bypassing this space, passing through a stone gate, you will enter the West Queen Mother Temple.

As soon as he crossed the threshold, he heard a voice come from inside: "Husband, is this the heir of the King of the West that you are talking about?"

Ying Zheng looked at the voice and saw another iron-eating beast guarding the side, followed by two small iron-eating beasts.

This is undoubtedly their own.

Ying Zheng smiled and arched his hand, "This is Mrs. Zun and the two children, right?"

"Hehe, yes, yes." The Iron Eater said, "They're usually here."

"Whatever you like, I'll bring you more next time I come back." Ying Zheng looked at the wife of the iron-eating beast and said, "I heard that you have a lot of food here, so I'll bring you beef and mutton."

With that, Ying Zheng took out the beef prepared for the little year beast and handed it to the two little guys.

The mother-eating iron beast said, "I have accepted the wishes of the guests, but in the claustrophobic space, there has been no source of meat, so we have changed to vegetarianism."

Vegetarian?

The Iron Eater added, "Yes, don't talk about us, even our parents, even our ancestors, don't know the taste of meat for a long time, if King Qin has the heart, it would be good to bring some bamboo shoots."

Although Ying Zheng was surprised in his heart, he also nodded and said, "Okay, then next time I will bring some good strains of bamboo shoots and plant some of them here."

"Thank you very much." The iron-eating beast said, "I'll take you into the temple, and you can worship Niangniang."

"Okay."

Since this place is called the West Queen Mother Temple, the actual function is to worship the Queen Mother of the West, although it is uncertain whether Nuwa Niangniang is buried here, but it must be that the West King has a nest because he misses his mother and built.

Entering the big stone gate, the dim light suddenly became brighter, and the light still had a faint blue halo, as if the sky had sunk and fallen on the side.

As far as the eye can see, it doesn't look like a temple, but more like the lobby of a palace, from which the word "temple" may come from.

On each side of the lobby are nine stone pillars that support the weight of the roof beams, and the stone pillars on both sides are of the same style, and there seems to be something hanging on the capital.

Ying Zheng looked up at the top of the first pillar beside him and couldn't help but be taken aback.

The head hanging on the head of the column is clearly the head of the nine guardian beasts - the prison cow!

Looking at the other eight pillars, there are eight other guardian beasts.

Ying Zheng looked at the Iron Eater and asked, "How can the totems of the nine of them be in this place?"

The Iron Eater said, "We Iron Eaters and their nine Divine Beasts have the same duties, what if they come here for something, and we don't recognize them. So the king of the west cast their totems and hung them there."

"I see." Ying Zheng said, "Don't say it, it's quite majestic like this, and if I decorate the court in the future, I'll do it too."

Xiao Nian Beast said, "It's really domineering, how about casting one for me too?"

Ying Zheng glanced at it, and said in his heart: You are an old mistake again, if you didn't have to compete with "my device" before, can you be reduced to rebirth.

"When the Chinese New Year comes, the people's homes post your portraits, are you still not satisfied?"

The little beast stuck out its tongue and grinned, "Contentment is contentment, but I haven't seen it."

"That's not easy, when I get back, I'll give you a cave full of portraits of you." Ying Zhengdao.

The little beast knew that it was a little reckless in his words, so he didn't say anything more.

Moving on, there is a set of nine steps, also made of dense stone.

Ying Zheng followed the iron-eating beast up the stairs and came to the high platform above, but saw that there was a square stone platform on the high platform, and a round yin-yang fish disc was placed in the center of the stone platform.

In front of the disc is a delicate stone tablet with the words "Throne of the Queen Mother of the West" written on it.

Ying Zheng just wanted to bow down, but was stopped by the iron-eating beast.

"The king of the West has a life, and he can't worship unless he is in the blood of Nuwa Niangniang. You need to drip your blood into the eyes of the yang fish to prove your bloodline."

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "This is another blood to recognize relatives."

So he drew the Xuanyuan Sword, slashed the thumb of his left hand, walked in front of the Yin Yang Fish, and dripped the blood flowing out into the Yang Fish's eyes.

Maybe it was because the dust had been sealed for too long, and at first the yin and yang fish didn't react, Ying Zheng thought that there were not enough blood drops, so he simply dropped a few more drops.

I heard a crisp sound at the bottom of the yin and yang fish, and then it turned half a circle.

"That's it." Iron Eater Beast Road.

Ying Zheng put down the Xuanyuan sword and bag, dusted off his body, and then knelt down, bowed, and said something in his mouth.

I don't know if Nuwa Niangniang has a spirit in the sky or what, I heard that the stone tablet was also a crisp sound, and it turned half a circle in place, revealing a groove.

Unexpectedly, the groove was faintly emitting a colorful divine light!
