Chapter 834: Teng Snake

Two guards and a Ministry official were holding torches and looking at what was painted on the wall.

Ren Baqian and the empress and others came over, and the three of them got out of the way: "Your Majesty, this is it." ”

Then the torch waved forward: "All the way to the front." ”

Ren Baqian and the empress stopped and looked up, only to see that the things on the wall were carved, about half an inch deep, and the edges were smooth.

Tong Zhenye scratched the marks on it with his finger, and then said: "It was engraved by a finger, and the finger is about thirty percent narrower than that of the minister, and it was painted by someone other than the ancient clan." ”

Not unexpected.

After all, it was only more than 70 years since the ancient clan walked out of the 100,000 mountains.

And the time of construction here is at least in the middle and early stages of the Hao Kingdom, even longer than the Hao Kingdom, but there is nothing that can really prove the time, and the dust here has been sealed for too long, and it is impossible to tell whether it has passed three hundred years or five hundred years or even a thousand years.

"Keep looking!" Ren Baqian finished commanding the Ministry of Works official and the two guards, and looked up at the mural.

At first glance, it looks like a child's graffiti, and there are small holes pointed out by fingers, or a few arcs, or irregular patterns all over the walls.

And a thin trail winds from the beginning to an invisible place in the distance.

Everything on the walls is messy and irregular, and it is better to say that it is a mural than a person who goes crazy and scratches the wall casually.

But if you look closely, you feel a little different.

"What do you think this looks like?" the empress asked softly after frowning for a long time.

"Nako......" The two voices sounded at the same time.

"Bang!"

The empress appeared beside Tong Zhenye in an instant, pressed the big bald head directly to the ground, and her whole brain was pressed in, and there were cracks everywhere around the ground.

"Your Majesty, this white jade is going to be used to build a palace. Ren Baqian was a little distressed, mainly because he felt sorry for himself and told the truth again just now.

The empress still couldn't understand her hatred, and stepped on Tong Zhenye's head again, before she said coldly: "If you don't hold back your mouth again, I will ...... you Hang on the head of the city, so that the people can pay homage to the Lord of the Ministry of Works. ”

Then he turned his head to look at Ren Baqian, and found that Ren Baqian's eyes were moving up and down his chest, and his pretty face flashed a touch of red, but his eyes flashed dangerously.

Ren Baqian was already thinking about whether he should take the initiative to put his head on the ground, so that it would not hurt too much when pressing.

"There's a door here!"

The sound came at the right time.

Ren Baqian felt that they should be awarded a Dayao Peace Prize.

The empress gave Ren Baqian a look of "you wait, I will teach you a lesson later", and walked forward.

There was a commotion behind him, Tong Zhenye pulled out his head and patted the dust, and glanced at Ren Baqian with resentment.

Ren Baqian gave him a smile of "we are different" in return.

After walking more than forty meters along the passage, everyone finally saw the so-called "door".

The whole body is swarthy, I don't know what metal it is made of, and it reflects the cold luster in the light of the torch.

On the iron gate is a winged snake with its tail hanging to the ground, its head close to the top of the iron gate, and a pair of wings tucked behind it. Different from the color of the iron gate, the whole looks gray.

Ren Baqian subconsciously felt familiar, and immediately asked, "What kind of fierce beast is this?"

Tong Zhenye shook his head and said he didn't know.

The empress did not react.

It seems that neither of them knows, but as soon as Ren Baqian saw this picture, he remembered the legendary Teng snake in Huaguo.

Ren Baqian always felt that this world had something to do with the earth, although the words were different, but the world also spoke Chinese, and there were dragons and phoenixes, unicorns in this world, and even a unicorn in the palace.

It's just that praying for water is not as powerful as the legendary beasts, neither flying nor escaping, and supporting death is the strength of the Supreme Heaven, which is far from myths and legends.

But there is no doubt that the prayer water is similar to the unicorn in the legend of the earth, and even the name is the same.

With these commonalities, it doesn't seem too surprising that there is another Teng snake in Chinese mythology in this world.

However, Ren Baqian did not say what he guessed.

The empress stepped forward and stretched out her palm to push open the iron door, but the moment she touched the Teng snake, her face changed slightly, and she withdrew a few meters under her feet, standing just in front of Ren Baqian.

"It's true!" the empress's voice surprised everyone.

Everyone thought that the fierce beast on the door was a carving, but they didn't expect it to be a real fierce beast!

However, with the touch of the empress, cracks began to appear on the surface, and then pieces fell off and fell to the ground, and everyone found that this beast had already become an empty shell.

In an instant, the beast was reduced to a piece of the ground.

However, the empress's eyes flashed, and she stepped forward and picked up a gray bead about the size of a pigeon's egg, and rubbed it on it, and the bead began to shine blue, but it was very dim.

"What is this?"

Whether it is this beast or this bead, it is unseen.

Ren Baqian stretched out his hand and wiped it in the empress's palm, and the surface of the bead was still a little elastic.

Ren Baqian immediately made up the common plot of martial arts that this fierce beast condensed his life's skills into a bead before he died.

But what exactly this bead is will have to be studied carefully.

The empress fiddled with it, but she didn't see what the bead was for, so she didn't care and threw the bead to Ren Baqian, who hurriedly picked it up and put it away.

Others only thought that this was a fierce beast that they had never seen before, but Ren Baqian regarded it as a legendary divine beast, and what he left behind would definitely not be mortal.

"This beast is the guard of this gate?" Ren Baqian guessed.

"Possibly!" the empress nodded, the passage had not been damaged in any way before everyone had entered, and the beast had either been hung on the iron door before, or had been left here until it died.

The crowd is more inclined to the latter possibility.

"This beast didn't leave here until it died, and I don't know what kind of master this place is. ”

The empress said softly, and stepped forward to push the door open.

If everyone is not mistaken, the guard here is the weathered beast, then there should be no mechanism or anything in the door.

But just in case, Tong Zhenye still stepped forward to stop the empress: "Your Majesty, let the old minister come!"

Tong Zhenye put his hand on the door, increasing his strength little by little, until he used eight points of strength, his face began to redden, and the door sounded a dull creak.

"Open!" Tong Zhenye shouted, his hands used all his strength, and the door began to be pushed little by little.

Everyone remained on guard until Tong Zhenye pushed open the main door, and nothing like a mechanism appeared.

However, a gust of air swirled, and the torches in the guards' hands swayed at first, and then suddenly went out.

Everyone also felt a little stuffy in their chests.

"People light candles, ghosts blow out lamps, even the torches are extinguished, withdraw!" Ren Baqian pulled the empress to turn around and leave.
