Chapter 189: Huge Formation
The magnificent underground palace is located on the abyss, with hundreds of rooms piled together, each of which is resplendent with gold and beams, carved beams and painted pillars, but it is also integrated, as if it were made of nature.
At the bottom is the main entrance of the underground palace, which seems to be the appearance of a large hall, and there are four pillars in front of the door that can only be hugged by three people, showing a bright red color, I don't know what material.
"The dress and shape of these palaces should be from the Qin Dynasty, either princes and generals, or royal people, full of luxury."
"I don't know how deep it is below, and there are bursts of air waves churning down, if one accidentally falls, there is really no place to die."
"No wonder there is such a large area of formation guarding, this place is really extraordinary, there must be a heavy treasure included!"
"Since it is in Xuanyong County, and it is a thing of the Qin Dynasty, this should not have anything to do with Qin Shi Huang, is this one of his tombs?"
"No, judging from the shape and dress above, it looks more like a thing of the Warring States, because it also integrates the symbols of other countries, not just the Qin State."
"From this point of view, this should be a dungeon in the pre-Qin period, at that time, but the era of the hundred schools of thought has not ended!"
“……”
The group stood at the edge of the deep pit, looking at the prosperous palace below, they were all a little shocked, who would have thought that in the depths of the land of Xuanyong County, such a strange scene was buried.
Zhao Qi was in the center of the group, surrounded by Wang Wuchen and Kang Lei, and at this time, looking at the majestic underground palace below, he couldn't help but feel hot.
For practitioners, the last dance of the monks belongs to the Qin Dynasty, when Qin Shi Huang refined the elixir of immortality and networked a large number of practitioners.
Although it was not cultivated in the end, bringing together so many cultivators to learn from each other, digging for treasures, and traveling far away from the sea also allowed all kinds of cultivation methods to be further improved.
For example, this majestic underground palace, as well as the huge formation outside, would not have been established by later dynasties.
"This should be a tomb palace in the Qin Dynasty, and it is also for a powerful cultivator, perhaps one of the people who was found by Qin Shi Huang to refine the elixir of life."
Wang Wuchen's eyes were like torches, and he was very knowledgeable, and he saw that there were some places where wooden sculptures were hung, which is indeed one of the signs of contemporary tombs.
Therefore, it is certain that this is not some mysterious place buried underground, but a tomb that the practitioner built for himself after death.
And having the energy and strength to build such a behemoth underground palace means that this person's identity and this person's identity is either rich or expensive, and he is a cultivator, and he must be a person with a relatively high status among those who refine the elixir.
"Among the people who refined the elixir of life for Qin Shi Huang, Xu Fu was the leader, but he finally went to sea to hunt for treasure, so it shouldn't be him, who else is there under it?" Kang Lei also asked on the side.
Everyone shook their heads, they didn't know that when Qin Shi Huang was refining the elixir of life, he also knew that this was a secret act, so there were few records in the history books.
"No matter who it is, thousands of years have passed, and the years have long been turned into a handful of loess, and what can be preserved must be a treasure of heaven and earth."
"You go down with me to have a look, if there are any treasures, you can take them out to strengthen the Xuan Academy, and use it to defend against demons in the future."
Zhao Qi opened his mouth and gave an order, and at the same time selected a few people with relatively high formation attainments, and prepared to go together.
The dungeon looks resplendent and shining, but it is a product of thousands of years ago, and it may be extremely fragile, and it will turn into ashes when touched.
Therefore, there should not be too many people who go down, but they must be cultivated to be refined, and the control of the formation and aura is extremely exquisite.
Wang Wuchen counted one, and the remaining few people also showed their own means when they broke through the formation before, and Zhao Qi saw it in his eyes, so he let them join.
For Zhao Qi's arrangement, people are different, although Kang Lei also wants to go in, but he also knows that his strength is not good, so he has to wait outside.
Although a cultivator can walk in the air for a short time, there is an endless abyss below, and there is still no strong air current, so it is easy to fall without paying attention.
So Zhao Qi found a lotus flying vehicle, and a group of six people stood firmly in it, and walked towards the gate of the underground palace below.
After more than forty seconds, everyone came to their destination, got off the lotus flying vehicle, and stepped on the ground paved with white jade bricks.
What greeted you was a majestic temple gate, with four pillars made of stone and stained with bright red paint, which were still bright even after thousands of years.
The columns are more than 20 meters high, firmly holding the bricks and tiles above, and many wooden galleries are depicted on both sides extending behind it, which is antique.
There is a plaque hanging in the center of the main hall, with a blue background with gold edges, but there is no writing on it, it is a blank plaque.
Behind the columns, the cinnabar red wooden door opened to reveal a more interior scene, which was empty except for the center, a glittering golden building.
Zhao Qi raised his foot and stepped on the white jade masonry, and there was no scene where he could turn into fly ash at the touch of it.
He climbed the stairs and walked all the way to the front of the temple, and he could also see that in the center of it was a rectangular coffin.
The coffin sits in the north and faces south, is four or five meters long, is erected on a high stone platform, and the surface is carved with a lot of lifelike patterns, there are flowers, birds, fish and insects, and there are also dragons and dragons.
The lid of the coffin is even more extraordinary, the whole body seems to be made of gold, still shining brightly, the surface is uneven, and there are many runes engraved in the pits.
Wang Wuchen and the rest of the cultivators also followed, and when they saw the coffin behind it, they were shocked, this item was even more extraordinary than the underground palace.
The bottom is jade, the top is pure gold, and it is all in one, not pieced together, such a large piece, whether it is the Qin Dynasty or now, is worth a fortune.
They were all more interested in the owner of the tomb, and they didn't know which of the top cultivators this was, and there was such a thick burial after his death.
Zhao Qi walked around the coffin, and after careful probing, he found that there was no aura fluctuation on it, and there was no broken formation killing move.
For practitioners, death is terrible, but they are also more afraid that their inheritance will disappear and disappear in the vast sea of people.
Therefore, most of them will arrange some levels after death, and if the subsequent destined person can pass it, they will get his inheritance to ensure that it is not lost.
The large array that could envelop the entire underground palace before was not only to protect this place, but also to set up a checkpoint, and those who could break through the formation and enter could obtain the inheritance of the tomb owner, so there was no back hand in this coffin.
Zhao Qi's heart was also looking forward to it, if he could make such a big battle, then the things inside must be extraordinary, and they were definitely treasures related to cultivation.
Moreover, the owner of the tomb is also very confident, feeling that in a few thousand or tens of thousands of years, the contents will not be damaged and can resist the erosion of time.
Zhao Qi clasped his hands into fists and expressed his respect for the owner of the tomb, and Wang Wuchen and the others also made the same action after seeing this.
The next thing is to open the coffin, Zhao Qi took it personally, stretched out his slender palm, and pushed it in front of the coffin.
Gold is a very heavy substance, and the weight of pure gold is several times greater, and the weight of such a large coffin lid is comparable to that of a small truck.
But Zhao Qi pushed it very smoothly, there seemed to be some kind of switch on it, which could be opened directly with a push, revealing the scene inside.
After the faint turbidity drifted away, everyone looked together, and there were many sculptures carved on the inner wall of the coffin, all from the inside to the outside, like a work of art.
There was a golden cloth underneath, and there were no corpses on it, but patches of grayish-yellow ash.
And further up, there is a turtle shell that is emitting precious light, with dense text engraved on the face, and some even illusion after phantom.
"It seems that the owner of the tomb has turned into a handful of loess, and after the death of a powerful cultivator, it is inevitable that this will happen."
Zhao Qi looked at the ashes on the yellow cloth, and knew that this was the trace left after the death of the body, it had been thousands of years, and no matter how strong the body was, it could not withstand this service.
Wang Wuchen and the others clasped their fists again to express their condolences in their hearts, but the thoughts in their hearts were attracted by the turtle shell.
Zhao Qi didn't talk too much nonsense, bent down, reached out and picked up the turtle shell directly from the coffin, and there was a warm feeling like jade in his hand.
"Click!"
The sound of stones shattering sounded, and after Zhao Qi picked up the turtle shell, the coffin suddenly cracked, even the golden coffin lid above.
The cobweb-like cracks widened as they went, spreading to the entire floor tiles and the entire palace along with the coffins and stone platforms.
The deep and bottomless abyss below also erupted into bursts of powerful qi waves, destroying them more quickly, and for a while, this underground palace was crumbling, as if it would collapse at any time.
"It seems that after the owner of the tomb gave away the inheritance, he didn't want to be disturbed, and wanted to be buried under the abyss and isolated from the world."
Zhao Qi grabbed the turtle shell in his hand, and with a thought, he summoned the Li Lotus flying vehicle in and prepared to leave here.
Now that the main hall is cracked, all kinds of treasures have turned into ashes, there is no way to grab it anymore, and having a turtle shell can be regarded as a harvest, there is no need to disturb the peace of the tomb owner.
Wang Wuchen and the others also felt a pity when they saw this, this underground palace was full of rare resources, but now they were lost in vain.
They didn't want to fall into the endless abyss with this dungeon, so they immediately jumped on the lotus flying vehicle. Six pink petals, as hard as iron, closed together and flew outward.
The pillars collapsed, the bricks and stones fell, and the yellow dust served, all of which had been standing for thousands of years, and the buildings could not resist the erosion of time, collapsed, and collapsed.
"Why did it suddenly collapse, the dean, they won't be in any danger, right?!"
"Is there any other mechanism in there? This is too ruthless, I want to pull the people who enter the tomb on the back together! ”
"Hey, it seems to be fine, look at a streamer flashing out, it's a lotus flying vehicle!"
"It's out, dean, they're out, I don't know if there's anything to gain?"
“……”
The people at the edge of the pit were still extremely worried, but after seeing the lotus flying vehicle flying out, they immediately put their minds at ease.
Six petals bloomed out, revealing Zhao Qi and Wang Wuchen, who quickly fell from the sky, and then turned their heads in unison, looking at the jade-haired collapsed palace.
It seems that the palace that has decayed for 10,000 years has lost most of its body, and some of the remaining ones have fallen into the abyss with time.
In just four or five minutes, the huge dungeon that was resplendent and praiseworthy had completely disappeared and fallen into the bottomless abyss.
The prosperity of the past seemed to be an instant, but now it has come to naught, and there is no longer the world.
There was an inexplicable sense of loss in everyone's hearts, as if they were sighing for something, was the final path of cultivation so lonely and dilapidated?
Everyone didn't make a sound for a long time, until Zhao Qi picked up the turtle shell in his hand to check it, and there was a sound of copper coins ringing.
It was a black-and-yellow turtle shell larger than a palm, very complete, and there seemed to be two copper coins in the hollow inside, which made a clanging sound when shaken.
Whether it is on the back or on the front, it is engraved with dense small characters, and some also project gold-colored shadows, showing the extraordinary.
When Kang Lei saw it, he immediately walked in front of Zhao Qi, straightened the gold-wire glasses on his nose with his hand, and asked curiously:
"Is this something that was brought out of the dungeon? What's the use? It looks pretty remarkable. ”
Zhao Qi played with it in his hand, carefully identified the words on it, flipped it up and down, his brows furrowed more and more, and said:
"It's not a text from the Warring States period or the pre-Qin period, but it has a much older history, it seems to be a hieroglyph, and I can't understand it."
Everyone was a little speechless for a while, Zhao Qi can be said to be proficient in ancient and modern times, and he has read many ancient book fragments, but he can't understand the text, how old it is.
Wang Wuchen walked over and looked at it twice, but finally showed a wry smile and shook his head, indicating that he didn't even know a word.
"This should be a scripture used for cultivation, but I can't identify the specific era, so I have to take it back to the Xuan Academy to study it carefully."
"If it is useful to crack it, it will definitely be added to the exercises of the Xuan Academy, so that everyone can practice together." Zhao Qi took the turtle shell back into the safest jade wrench, and then said to everyone.
Everyone was very relieved, and they said hard that they knew that Zhao Qi was a person, and they would not swallow the contents of the turtle shell alone.
"Would you like to come along?" I think there are some parts that you can still crack. Zhao Qi looked at Wang Wuchen again.
There were hundreds of words on the turtle shell, and he had only recognized a dozen of them after observing them a few times just now, and it would take a long time to identify them all.
It's still very good to pull a knowledgeable person over to study together and use it as a coolie, and Wang Wuchen is definitely the first choice.
"The captain really lifted me, I'm afraid I can't do anything about these words, I'd better go back and study the formation that I drew before."
Wang Wuchen smiled bitterly and raised the rice paper in his hand, just those pattern formations on it had to be studied for a while, not to mention the words that could not be understood.
Zhao Qi was naturally not reluctant, and after saying goodbye to everyone, he drove the lotus flying vehicle into the air and flew to the direction of the Xuan Academy.
The other cultivators also said goodbye and left, leaving only Kang Lei and a few people responsible for cleaning up the extra abyss.
It is definitely impossible to fill in this kind of place, so you can only repair some building markings around it to prevent others from entering it by mistake.
