Chapter 154: The lights are not extinguished
"Look, the lights here have changed!" Wang Zhong suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the wall of this hall-like place.
Compared with the low space of the corridor, the top of this place is also much wider, although there are also a lot of lamps inlaid on the wall, but the position of these lamps is much higher than the lights in the corridor, and these palace lamps are no longer the strange shapes of kneeling figures, but some strange animal shapes.
There are snake bodies and human faces, there are two-legged and one-eyed ones, there are bird heads and lion bodies, but there are scorpion tails, there are also pointed heads and pointed brains, but the belly is round like a ball, there are also many hands and feet but all deformed, all kinds of images, and so on, the whole body has one thing in common, that is, it is not like a normal beast.
Wang Zhong and his two lives have also seen a lot of demons and murderous creatures, but it is true that he has never seen these monsters that seem to have obvious traces of artificial patchwork.
These monster-shaped palace lamps also have a faint commonality, that is, their faces seem to be facing the same direction, looking at a lone lamp in the darkness in front of them.
Chen Zhengyi soon discovered this, and the two cautiously came to the palace lamp that had been extinguished.
It is obvious to say that this is a lone lamp, because the surroundings of this lamp are empty, and the other lamps are kept at the same distance, but the two sides of this lamp, where they should be lamps, are empty.
And the shape of this lamp is also very strange, this is still the shape of a palace person, wearing a long-sleeved robe, but it is very different from the shape of those palace lamps in the previous Yongdao, because this palace lamp shape is obviously a woman's shape.
The woman was dressed in splendor, her right hand spread out in front of her chest, her expression was serene and demure, and there was a smile on her face, as if a fairy was demonstrating a spell to the world. There was a layer of black stuff in the palm of her hand.
This palace lamp obviously seems to contain some special meaning, but unfortunately Wang Zhong is not familiar with the Tianmu Palace, so he can only pin his hopes on Chen Zhengyi, a local: "Brother Chen Dao, do you know what this means in the Tianmu Palace?"
Chen Zhengyi shook his head helplessly: "I don't know, after the destruction of the Heavenly Mother Palace, everything that has been circulated is taboo, and not many people have seen it again." If there is really understanding, I guess the Song family may have a half-understanding. ”
"That's it, let's find the exit slowly, the air here is not turbid, it means that there is air flow, there must be a way out. ”
The two had no choice but to explore again to see if they could find a clue, and more importantly, to find a way out.
After the hall here, several more corridors were born, one of which was directly below the palace lamp in the shape of this woman, and the width was much wider than the others, as if it led to some remarkable place.
The other roads are similar to the road when they came, nothing special, Wang Zhong pointed to the passage under the palace lamp: "Let's go in here and have a look!"
At this time, he was in an unknown place, Chen Zhengyi didn't ink, and immediately followed his footsteps, one of them was carrying a magic weapon, and the other was circling with mana, it seemed that although he said that he was relaxed, he was actually cautious and guarded.
This passage is extremely wide, it is said to be a passage, and there is no strangely shaped palace lamp on the mountain wall on both sides, but it leaves a series of large and small potholes, it seems that there should be some spiritual jade pearl or something like this here before, but it seems that all of them have been dug up, leaving only a broken wall.
The passage was not long, and after about a hundred feet, the two came to an extremely wide place.
Overhead is a wide space about 100 zhang high, like a dome covering this place, and here is full of all kinds of courtyard-shaped buildings and palace buildings, and even all kinds of high platforms, climbing dragons and phoenixes, I don't know what it was used for in the first place.
However, when the two of them walked to the second half of the complex, they found that it had long since disappeared, and the half of the dome behind it had collapsed entirely, as if it had been crushed by the mountains above, directly smashing most of the building complex, drowning it in countless rubbles.
The two of them walked around the abandoned building complex, and found that there were indeed traces of people living here, there were living furniture in the houses, and there were houses of various shapes, it seemed that there should have been many people of different classes living here before.
In addition, they also found a palace that was buried in the middle, and the tiles on the temple door were scattered all over the ground, but they could still see a crooked plaque, there were no words on this plaque, only a simple line, outlining the appearance of a woman in palace clothes, looking at the lines, as if it was the same person as the unique palace lamp they had seen outside before.
"If the inference is correct, this must be the residence of this woman. Or is the whole place under the jurisdiction of this woman?" said Wang Zhong thoughtfully, and the glowing jade above his head rose a little more, illuminating the plaque even more obviously. The image of the woman on the plaque is really very close to the image of the woman in the palace lamp.
"It's possible! Maybe this person was originally a high-ranking monk in the Heavenly Mother Palace. Chen Zhengyi also guessed slightly, "But the second half of this place is buried, there should be no way out, it seems that we have to go back to the previous hall node and go to the next passage to find it." ”
Wang Zhong also said "um" and agreed.
The two of them returned to the previous hall from here, but in the face of four different corridors, the two of them were also a little difficult.
"There are so many passages, if we run into the next hall after a while, and there are several passages, then what year and month do we have to explore?" Chen Zhengyi only felt that the corners of his mouth were a little bitter, and this trip was really unfavorable.
Wang Zhong thought for a while and said, "It seems that all the people here are gone, and there are no living creatures that can survive in this closed space, there shouldn't be much danger, why don't we explore separately and agree to return here at a time to gather?"
Chen Zhengyi thought about it, since Wang Zhong, a Qi refining monk, was not afraid, then he, a foundation building monk, could not prevaricate, so he had to nod and agree, and the two immediately agreed to meet here after two hours, and then parted ways and entered the corridors on the left and right sides of the women's palace lantern.
At the same time as the two of them left the hall, between the extinguished monster palace lamps of different shapes above their heads, something seemed to circulate, and the dim red light flashed in the eyes of these strange monsters.
Wang Zhong walked on a corridor on the right, which was no different from the one they had accidentally entered here, and it was still a strangely shaped human-shaped palace lamp.
Occasionally, there are some unknown murals on the walls on both sides, and it is unknown what they are depicted.
After seeing a lot, Wang Zhong felt that these messy lines seemed to be more runes than murals.
But this is not the time to study these things, and it is important to find the outlet.
After passing through the passage of about 100 zhang,He came to another place like the previous hall.,The pattern here is slightly different from before.,But the overall style is similar.,But the monster-shaped palace lamp on the top of the head.,The types of monsters are a little different from before.,Some are the same as before.,Some are not in the previous place.。。
And a palace lamp in the place where these monsters are in the spot, the shape is a man in Taoist costumes, carrying a sword, the sword fingers are standing on his chest, and a little flame is slowly burning at his fingertips.
The lights here are not extinguished!
