Chapter 448: Meritorious Surrender and Two Rites
The splendid Burning Sky Palace "broke the ground" from the barren mountains in the middle of the night, which made everyone excited. The legendary treasure sanctuary is just around the corner, and danger and chance coexist. When everyone rushed to the palace gate, they found that the door was tightly closed. The gate is not divided into two doors like the ordinary palace gate, it seems to be a rising and falling one-piece gate. The door is regularly covered with golden round-cap nails, in addition to eight recessed round pits. The eight round pits are arranged in the shape of a "seven-star arched moon", and the outer seven pits are generally the size, while the one in the middle is slightly larger.
And they stood at the door, and they looked at me, and I looked at you. No one knows how to open this gate.
Hualin Dajun Shang Xingjie stepped forward and pushed gently, but the gate did not move at all.
"At a glance, you can tell that it is a rising and falling type, what's the use of pushing? You have to rely on lifting!" Qu Xingxuan sneered as he looked for a place under the door where he could intervene. It's a pity that the door is tightly connected to the ground, let alone the hand, I'm afraid I can't even insert a needle.
"See how Brother Ren lifts?" Shang Xingjie sneered.
Qu Xingxuan was very unconvinced after being choked: "I can always dig out a piece of the ground, right?" He took out a strange-looking weapon like an axe, and just raised it, but was stopped by Jin Chanyu. "Wait," Jin Chanyu said, "this door and the ground are covered with a layer of red light, and it may be dangerous to use brute force." ”
"Then try to stay away. Qu Xingxuan took a few steps back, waved his weapon, and a wave of demonic power shot straight to the ground under the door. Sure enough, just as Jin Chanyu expected, the red light completely rebounded back the demon force wave like a barrier, almost injuring Qu Xingxuan himself. Qu Xingxuan was startled, and said with palpitations: "It doesn't seem to be such a way to enter the door......
What should I do now? Push, I can't push, I can't lift, I can't lift. Before the Burning Heaven Palace was entered, the first hurdle stumped everyone.
"The mystery of opening the door must have something to do with these eight pits. Jin Chanyu approached the gate and observed carefully. Each pit in the outer ring is about a foot long, and each pit houses seven rows of seven rows of dome nails.
Zhou Wenxuan said: "If you want to talk about the key to open the Burning Heaven Palace, the only thing you can think of is the Zhu Tian Qiyao Board. Shouldn't you try to put the seven obsidian plates in the pits?"
"The seven boards are square, but the pits are round, and it definitely doesn't work. Xiang Zhongyang took out his Zhu Tian Qiyao board and compared it to a pit, not only the shape was different, but the size was also a lot different, and the Qiyao board could not fit the pit at all. Suddenly, he was surprised: "This door nail is moving!" Just now, when he was gesturing, the seven obsidian boards pressed against several door nails, and after taking off the seven obsidian boards, those door nails actually retracted into the door. Xiang Zhongyang hurriedly pressed all the door nails in the pit, but nothing happened. "The door nail can be pressed in or pulled out, there must be some point......" He tried to press the door nails in the other pits, except for the one in the big round pit, which was nailed, the rest of the round pit door nails were all moving. Xiang Zhongyang tried to press the door nail in other places on the door again, but it was also nailed.
Everyone just watched Xiang Zhongyang press back and forth on the door. If you don't understand the meaning of the door nails, it's just a futile effort. After pressing for a while, Xiang Zhongyang was also deflated. He stepped aside and sat down, staring at the door.
Ye Linglong patted Xiao Tianhe's shoulder and whispered, "Could it be that the door nail is composed of any characters?" You see, the door nail pressed down in the round pit on the lower left just forms the word 'soil'. ”
"There are too many words that can be composed, and there is no difference between longer or shorter strokes, all of which can form the same character......" Xiao Tianhe suddenly stopped halfway through speaking, he felt that Ye Linglong's words just now seemed to have opened a window, and exclaimed, "Pattern!
He stood up, walked over to the inexplicable Jin Chanyu, and asked her to borrow Zhu Tianqiyao to take a look. Jin Chanyu's seven-day board was obtained from Ji Boyang, and the pattern on it was two columns with a total of eight points. Xiao Tianhe walked to the door with the stone slab, pressed several door nails in a round pit, and when his fingertips left the last door nail, he only heard a "click" sound in the door, and all the door nails in the round pit were all retracted into the door, and they were invisible. At this moment, a scream sounded in the sky, and a green "meteor" streaked across the sky, falling straight to the top of the Burning Heaven Palace and disappearing without a trace.
Everyone immediately gathered around.
"Everyone pressed the doornail in the corresponding position according to the pattern on the Zhu Tianqi Yao board. "Xiao Tian Dao.
It turns out that the inexplicable patterns on the slate are handy for this. As for the order of position, it seems that there is no particular attention, every time the door nail in the round pit retracts into the door, a colored light similar to a meteor will appear in the sky and shoot towards the spire of the Burning Heaven Palace. When all the nails of the seven round pits were pressed, the solid gate finally let out a dull "roar" and slowly rose.
Everyone stood by and stood guard outside the door with weapons in hand, in case there was any unexpected danger inside the door. However, when you look inside from the door, you can only see a cloud of darkness. After a few moments, the gate rose to the top, and the dark passage was like the mouth of a giant beast waiting for its prey, and it was eerie.
Xiang Zhongyang and Shang Xingjie took the lead in entering the dark shadow. The others lined up in two columns and followed. As the last man's footsteps descended into the darkness, the gate suddenly fell with lightning speed, and the Burning Heaven Palace slowly sank along with the path outside it, re-sinking into the mountain, and the barren mountain closed again, as if nothing had happened except that the loess on the surface of the mountain had turned into rock.
Besides, the thirteen people who entered the Burning Heaven Palace groped forward in the darkness where they couldn't see their fingers. The sound of footsteps echoed through the closed and oppressive passage, and no sound could be heard beyond that. After walking slowly for a long time, a small point of light appeared in front of me, which should be the exit of the passage.
Everyone quickened their pace, and it didn't take long for them to rush out of the dark passage, and their eyes suddenly opened up. What appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a vast sea of forests. It was still late at night, and the moonlight was bright and cold. I didn't expect it, pass
On the other side of the road is another world.
"Where is this?" Zhou Wenxuan only felt a chill, and unconsciously hugged his arms.
"Where else could it be? The first floor of the Burning Heaven Palace!" Xiang Zhongyang said.
"Why is it so much like the outside world? Look at the sky, the moon, the stars, the night, if it weren't for the dark passage behind you, who would have seen that this was the scene inside a palace?" Zhou Wenxuan retorted.
"Then what do you mean ......"
"You say, could the Burning Heaven Palace just be a passage connecting two places? Everyone take a closer look, have you ever seen this area?" Zhou Wenxuan proposed.
But the Yu Yu realm is so vast, and there are tens of thousands of forests like this, so naturally no one recognizes them. Despite the moonlight, in the dense forest, the light did not shine at all.
"I think we'd better go our separate ways. Shang Xingjie said suddenly.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he sneered at Xiang Zhongyang and Zhou Wenxuan: "Do we want to work together with the demon clan? I can't trust them." ”
Shi Potian said disdainfully: "Hey, do you think we are willing to walk with you?
Xiang Zhongyang glanced at the You brothers: "Do you two want to go with us?"
"I tried to snatch the Seven Obsidian Boards before," "How can we walk with you again?" the You brothers flatly refused.
"In this way, if the three emperors of our immortal and demon clans join forces, we will definitely be able to get the treasure smoothly. Shang Xingjie is very satisfied with this grouping.
"Wait!" Zhou Wenxuan turned to ask Xiao Tianhe, "Do you want to go with us?" But I can only agree to take you and Miss Zhao with you. ”
"No need, thank you for your kindness. I and these friends are not going to be separated. Xiao Tianhe replied.
Zhou Wenxuan nodded: "Okay, be careful." ”
With that, Shang Xingjie, Xiang Zhongyang and Zhou Wenxuan rushed into the forest quickly.
"Look, it's a burden to dislike us. Zhao Xianglin pursed her lips.
Xiao Tianhe said: "Shang Xingjie's heart is not right, and Xiang Zhongyang is a person who is incomprehensible, so it's okay not to be with them." ”
"I'm afraid it's false to refuse to cooperate with the demon clan, and I'm worried that we will share the treasure is true. Jin Chanyu smiled faintly, "It's okay, I didn't plan to rely on their strength in the first place." There are 10 of us in total, and although our strength is different, the good thing is that we are all trustworthy. 'Together, let's go!"
Jin Chanyu and Shi Potian took the lead, behind Qu Xingxuan, and the You brothers protected Xiao Tianhe and the five of them. After entering the woods, they chose to go deeper to the left, which was the opposite direction of the three emperors just now.
......
Let's talk about the three emperors first. The strongest Xiang Zhongyang took the lead, Zhou Wenxuan was at the end, and Shang Xingjie was in the middle to pay attention to the left and right sides. The three of them trotted all the way until the grass was everywhere before slowing down.
"It's good that the two of you are with you this time, if it's just me, it will be troublesome. Shang Xingjie said.
"Although those people are demon clans, they are quite righteous. Brother Shang was a little worried. Xiang Zhongyang used the magic knife to cut through the thorns and open a path.
"Hmph, the scale demon king Shi Potian, rude and belligerent, is by no means good at stubble, and Jin Chanyu, the demon king of the insect department, has not known where to hide for many years, and has ignored everything, but as soon as the Burning Heaven Palace came out, she also came out, which shows that its city is very deep. ”
Xiang Zhongyang stopped abruptly and stared back at Shang Xingjie.
Shang Xingjie immediately understood that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said, "Of course Brother Xiang and Jin Chanyu are different. Brother Xiang has always been upright, low-key, and indisputable, which several of our emperors know well, so the Hidden Marquis Domain has been safe and sound for so many years, isn't it? ”
At the end, Zhou Wenxuan smiled "hehe": "Brother Shang doesn't even forget to hurt others when he compliments." What about me? What about Brother Shang's evaluation?"
"Brother Zhou is really joking, the two of us are in a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship, I'm afraid the whole world knows this. Am I going to cooperate with an unreliable person?" Shang Xingjie said, "Brother Zhou is open-minded and has a wide range of acquaintances, from emperors and princes to the three sects and nine streams, there are your friends everywhere. Xiao Tianhe's kid is willing to give you a piece of Zhu Tianqiyao board, this is the best proof. ”
Zhou Wenxuan followed the words and asked, "Then where did the Zhu Tianqi Yao Plate of the two of you come from?"
"Someone revealed the news to me, saying that there is a Zhu Tian Qiyao board on a certain demon clan. So, I secretly sent someone to arrest the demon clan. In the end, the demon clan was seriously injured and fled. Shang Xingjie replied very briskly.
"It must not be easy for someone to reveal such an important secret to you, right?" Zhou Wenxuan said.
Shang Xingjie smiled and was noncommittal.
"My Zhu Tianqi Yao board is from gambling on wine. Xiang Zhongyang's answer was even more surprising.
"Gambling on alcohol?" the two said in unison.
"Haha, yes. Xiang doesn't have any other hobbies, but he can't do without the things in the cup. It was a few years ago when I heard that a liquor shop in a small mountain town had its own liquor, and it was so strong that legend has it that no one could still stand after five bowls. I was not convinced, so I went to that wine shop to drink, but I didn't want to meet a demon clan. Xiang Zhongyang recalled, "The strength of the demon clan is not low, and it inevitably appeared in a mountain town, which inevitably makes me suspicious." After talking, I realized that he was also a good drinker, and he also went to a wine shop to drink. Speaking of the wine, I remember that although it was a little muddy, it was really strong, and after the five bowls were eaten, people seemed to be like gods. When I think about it now, my mouth waters......"
Seeing that the more he talked, the more energetic he became, Zhou Wenxuan couldn't help but interrupt: "Brother Xiang, focus on gambling and drinking." ”
"Oh, I'm sorry, I can't help but talk about the wine. Xiang Zhongyang smiled awkwardly, "At that time, the demon clan and I each drank five bowls of wine, and we were still able to stand up." Therefore, the rumors may not be credible. Seeing that we were both massive, we made an appointment to fight wine, and whoever fell first would lose, and the bet was the most valuable item we had on our bodies at that time. What I took out was a magic weapon, and what he took out was this Zhu Tianqi Yao board. ”
After listening to his experience, Shang Xingjie and Zhou Wenxuan sincerely sighed that Xiang Zhongyang's encounter was really lucky, and after drinking with a strange demon clan, he got the extremely precious Zhu Tianqi Yao Board, which was simply envious of others.
"Compared to me, 'unintentionally inserting willows into the willows', it is still Brother Zhou's 'effortless'!" Xiang Zhongyang said.
"Brother Zhou, what kind of friendship do you have with that Xiao Tianhe?" Shang Xingjie asked curiously.
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that when I went to the Chixi Emperor's Mansion as a guest, I happened to help him once. ”
Shang Xingjie's mind turned, and he hurriedly asked: "I heard that Ji Yuqiu was injured, could it be that this matter is also related to Xiao Tianhe?"
"I guess so. ”
"This son will definitely set off a storm in the rivers and lakes in the future. At this time, Shang Xingjie thought that there was a mysterious master behind Xiao Tianhe who could rely on, so he had the courage to stir things up everywhere.
As the three of them walked, they suddenly felt something strange under their feet, and their ankles seemed to be caught by something, and they were wrapped tighter and tighter, spreading to their legs. "Snake!" the thought crossed the minds of all three people at the same time. But when they looked down, they were shocked, where was the snake, it was clearly a rattan with the thickness of an arm!
As if it had spirituality, the rattan grew up vigorously around the legs of the three people, not to mention the pain, and the surface of the rattan was full of tiny hooks, which easily tore the pants apart, and even the skin and flesh were punctured. The blood-soaked rattan grew even more violently, and it seemed that within a few moments, the three of them would be strangled to death by the rattan.
They have been breaking free since they were entangled, but strangely enough, the rattan is extremely tough, and no matter how hard they try, they keep fighting. "What the hell is this?" Shang Xingjie immediately swung his sword and slashed at the rattan on his leg, who knew that the rattan would be cut off with just one sword, and he didn't have time to regain his strength, and the fairy sword slashed into the leg meat. "Damn!" Shang Xingjie scolded, and then easily cut off the rattan on his body with a sword. When the rattan hits the ground, it disappears into the ground.
The other two saved themselves in the same way. Except for some flesh wounds and Shang Xingjie's sword wound that was almost "self-harming", the three of them were generally unharmed.
"What's going on? I can't break free even with all my might, but I can easily cut it off with a sword?" Xiang Zhongyang was puzzled.
"Hey, do you two feel that your skills are a little unusual?" Zhou Wenxuan said, "I tried it just now, and it seems that I can't do it." ”
Shang Xingjie, who had just finished medicine for his leg injury, raised his hand and sent out a sword qi at a big tree not far away, and with a "bang" sound, the sword qi only peeled off a piece of bark. This is definitely not the strength of a gossip-level master!
Xiang Zhongyang's brows furrowed, and he also sent a sword wave at the big tree, and its power was not much greater than Shang Xingjie's sword qi. "The power is suppressed. He looked solemn.
"Looking at the sword qi and sword waves you emitted, it should be the power of the two instruments. Zhou Wenxuan said, "No wonder...... Although those rattans are tough, our fairy swords and magic knives are of high quality, so they can be cut, but their skills are at the level of two instruments, so they can't break free. ”
"Two Instruments...... I understand!" Shang Xingjie slapped his thigh, "Aren't Xiao Tianhe and the others at the Liangyi level? In other words, the Burning Heaven Palace forcibly suppressed everyone's skills at the same level according to the level of the person with the lowest strength among the people who entered!"
Xiang Zhongyang and Zhou Wenxuan were stunned for a long time, falling from the Nine Palaces and Bagua level to the two Yi levels, and the suppression of this skill was inevitably too ruthless.
"Damn! It's all to blame Jin Chanyu's stinky woman, it's useless to have to bring those burdens into the Burning Heaven Palace, it's good now, demote the others to the Liangyi level!" Shang Xingjie complained angrily, "It's just a two-level person, what can you do when you encounter danger?"
"Don't complain, it's over, think about what to do. Xiang Zhongyang persuaded, "The road ahead is dangerous and unknown, and I am afraid that we will ......only rely on the three of us and the two Yi levels."
Zhou Wenxuan shook his head and sighed: "Do you still need to think about this? Hurry up and meet those people! More people is better than fewer people!"
"Hmph, no matter how many people there are, it's just a group of two-level rabble, what's the use?" Shang Xingjie didn't want to go with the demon clan at all.
