Chapter 132 Dragon Bone Book Underground Star Gate
Crash!
Without any hesitation, the old foreigner took off the bamboo basket behind him and shook it lightly.
In an instant, there was a sound of interlacing iron leaves.
Chen Yulou and others had seen armored beasts from the Bianshan lineage as early as when they were in Pingshan.
But this was the first time for a group of guys around me.
At this moment, listening to the sound of the dense rain of iron leaves rubbing against each other, I couldn't help but feel a sense of panic.
"Flower Spirit."
After awakening the armored beast, the old foreigner lifted up the batik black cloth on the bamboo basket.
Hua Ling, who had been waiting for a long time, had already taken a piece of medicine cake, crushed it into pieces, and sprinkled it into the bamboo basket without even using his instructions.
Dust and smoke were everywhere in the basket.
Not long after.
Two animals, one big and one small, covered in armor and shaped like dragons, dragons and carp, rolled down to the ground.
With a slight shake, the clanking sound of the iron leaves became more and more alarming.
Seeing this scene, the Xieling bandits were full of amazement.
I see the old foreigner on weekdays, and he almost never leaves his body with his backpack on his back. However, he has a dull personality and usually keeps to himself. Apart from his senior brothers and sisters, he can only talk to Kunlun for a few words.
They didn’t dare to ask either.
Now I realize that there are two monsters hidden in the bamboo basket.
“Is it a dragon carp?!”
“It’s true, I saw it once in Jishitang in Xiangyin. The shopkeeper of the medicine hall called it the dragon carp armor, saying it can relieve blood congestion. Symptoms..."
All the bandits from Xiling were amazed.
One of them was an old man who had been in the mountains for many years, but he recognized his origins at a glance.
Since ancient times, there has been a tradition of using carp and carp armor tablets as medicine.
However.
It was obviously not appropriate to mention it in front of the three brothers and sisters.
Chen Yulou frowned. He knew very well the status of the two armored beasts in the hearts of the three of them.
Immediately glanced at the cold voice.
“There’s nothing to do, right? Come and move the cauldron.”
He gave me a cold look.
The gang of thieves bowed their heads one after another, how dare they talk nonsense.
They all took out hooks and ropes, tied them to the copper ring of the ancient tripod, and dragged it bit by bit deeper into the forest of steles.
In the process of moving the tripod.
A few people kept their eyes on the tripod cover, for fear that it would fall.
Fortunately, the thieves were quite careful.
Until the ancient tripod was moved more than one meter away, the fire paint around the tripod lid did not crack.
"Huh——"
Seeing this.
Miss Hong could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although it was her first time to see the Qilin Locking Dragon Formation, she heard it from an old thief.
In the territory of Huxiang, there have been countless Tufuzi since ancient times.
That person has also been fighting for a living for generations.
It’s just that their strength is far inferior to that of the Chen family.
According to his statement, he accidentally entered a tomb of the Three Kingdoms generals many years ago, and there were two bronze unicorns standing outside the gate of Xuan Palace.
The sculpture is as tall as a person.
A faint red light appeared in his eyes, and Lin held an iron chain in his mouth, hanging to the ground.
The younger members of the family don’t know the ropes.
Just thinking that he had encountered something good, he stepped forward and pulled the chain.
The result...
The dragons inside the two unicorns soared into the sky, spitting flames from their mouths.
Except for the old thief who sensed something was wrong and escaped from the tomb passage as soon as possible, everyone else perished in the flames.
The fire burned for several days.
When he went back to take a look, more than a dozen people didn’t even have their bodies left, they were burned into a pile of ashes.
That's why.
So, when she took people to see the six-legged unicorn in the ancient tripod, she immediately thought of the fire-subduing formation.
Smell it carefully.
There is indeed a smell of fire and salt in it.
After that, I asked the waiter to invite Chen Yulou.
Now that the cauldron was a few meters away, her hanging heart finally dropped.
At this moment, the ground in front of me is also paved with blue bricks.
You can barely see any difference with the naked eye.
But since the shopkeeper said that this place was the Bagua Middle Palace, leading directly to the tomb, she naturally had no doubts.
Bend and flex your fingers.
Knock back and forth along the stone bricks.
As long as there is a gap underground, the sound returned will be different.
“咚——”
really.
Just tried three floor tiles.
When his fingers tapped, a sound that was obviously different from before sounded.
Miss Hong’s eyes suddenly lit up.
I tried several more times.
Soon, she had an idea in her mind.
Take out the dagger with your backhand, insert it into the gap between the floor tiles and pry it hard.
As the water-milled brick weighing more than ten kilograms was lifted.
Two staggered stones come into view.
From the cracks in the stone, you can faintly smell a gloomy smell of decay.
"Shopkeeper, something is definitely wrong down there."
The red girl raised her head in amazement and looked at the figure in a long gown outside her body, her words full of disbelief.
This is the theory of Feng Shui.
It’s really amazing.
The location of the tomb passage can be inferred only from the surrounding regulations, the undulations of the terrain, and the position of the nine palaces.
You know, in the past, although the shopkeepers also had Wenshan Bianlong and Tingfeng Tinglei from the Xieling lineage, they seemed to be far less magical than Tianxing Fengshui.
“Brother, old foreigner, it’s up to you!”
Hearing this.
Chen Yulou is also determined.
This tunnel is not recorded in the Zhenling genealogy or the human skin map. In the original work, Hu Bayi and the others did not enter from here.
Being driven away by the female ghost in red and the jade dragon Qilin, there is no way to go to heaven.
With no choice, we can only enter from the depths of the water dragon's halo.
However, with the help of Tianbeng and the crashed nose of the aircraft that broke the dome, the three of them did not encounter much obstruction.
This trip, Chen Yulou arrived here seventy years in advance.
There is no collapse.
He personally created a man-made collapse.
There was no crash.
Then he... will find another way.
Ever since he stepped here, he has been using the Guanshan Tombs to calculate the star position.
But to be honest, he didn’t have much confidence.
However, now it seems that luck is pretty good.
In other words, I have figured out the character of King Xian.
The Minglou and the Xuan Palace are connected, which is equivalent to grounding the ground below and the stars above. King Xian is so persistent in becoming an immortal, so he will definitely not mess around in Feng Shui.
"Don't worry, Boss Chen!"
The old foreigner nodded heavily.
While talking.
Hua Ling took out another porcelain vase, walked to Miss Hong, removed the cork and poured it gently.
In an instant.
A drop of scarlet liquid was poured onto the stone, slowly seeping into the ground along the cracks.
“Raccoon blood?”
Feel the pungent smell.
Chen Yulou couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The smell was indescribably familiar. After thinking about it carefully, it was clearly the same as the blood of the two raccoon spirits on the ancient raccoon monument.
And.
I’ve heard about it a long time ago.
Armored beasts like places with deep Yin energy.
So, in order to lure them into caves and mausoleums, mountain movers often lure them with the blood of ghost objects.
Now it seems that it is indeed the case.
Crash——
The two armored beasts noticed the smell of blood and their eyes lit up instantly. Although they looked bloated, they were as fast as lightning.
Only the sound of iron leaves was heard.
The next moment, they appeared at the feet of Hua Ling.
Following the direction of the flow of Tanuki's blood, a pair of claws were as sharp as knives. In the blink of an eye, a deep hole was dug in the ground.
See this scene.
The thieves were even more amazed.
What they still don't understand at the moment is that these two armored beasts are the pangolin mausoleum armor from the moving mountain lineage.
Chen Yulou watched for a moment and speculated that with the ability of the two armored beasts to penetrate mountains, it would take almost half a quarter of an hour to get through the tunnel.
He didn’t delay either.
Looking up and looking around.
Soon, his eyes were fixed on a painted wall.
The eight walls were all filled with majestic scrolls. Although they were not as astonishing as the one in the front hall, what he was looking at now was the most evil witchcraft of the Dian Kingdom.
By the wind lanterns hanging on the corners of the surrounding monuments.
He clearly saw that the wall was covered with rituals such as witchcraft, divination, ghost casting, and heaven worship.
There is even a scene of boiling corpses in a cauldron.
But now Chen Yulou went to see it.
But I am not amazed at the weird and terrifying ancient witchcraft.
But...
The Dragon Bone Book is hidden in it.
See him leaving alone.
Kunlun's eyes kept wandering around, his heart couldn't help but follow him subconsciously.
He is not too interested in the fire-subduing unicorn or the cave mausoleum.
The only thing he did was to protect the shopkeeper.
Aware of the figure approaching behind him, Chen Yulou said nothing. After a moment, the two of them approached the painting wall one after another.
I have to say.
During King Xian’s time, both the portraits and sculptures were far superior to those of the Yi tribe.
Even after two thousand years.
The painted wall was exposed to the air, but the mural showed no signs of fading.
Perfectly preserved like new.
The style is also similar to that of Qin and Han Dynasties, more towards realism.
Unlike the stone carvings I saw earlier on the altar by the lake, the painting style is rough and abstract.
At this time, I looked up.
Chen Yulou could even feel an indescribable and strange aura coming towards his face.
“The shopkeeper?”
Seeing that he was silent.
Kunlun couldn't help but lower his voice and asked.
"Kunlun, if you see the cauldron, break it!"
It seems that he finally came to his senses.
Chen Yulou took a few steps to the side, pointed at a scroll of burning fire and offering sacrifices to the sky, and raised his eyebrows.
“Okay!”
If it were someone else, they might still be hesitant and curious.
But Kunlun never hesitated from the beginning to the end and immediately accepted the order.
Holding a spurge in his hand, he shouted in a low voice.
The tip of the halberd was splashed with cold light.
Boom!
A dull loud noise.
In an instant, the wall was penetrated, and a rumbling sound spread throughout the surroundings.
Alarmed the group of people who were watching the armored beast crossing the mountain from a distance.
Everyone feels like facing a powerful enemy.
Subconsciously, I thought there was something dangerous happening.
However, when their eyes fell on Chen Yulou and Kunlun, their tense heartstrings relaxed slightly.
But he still couldn't hide his surprise.
I don’t know what the shopkeeper is doing.
“Shopkeeper, that’s it.”
Kunlun stopped his hand and looked calm.
It seems that this casual halberd is nothing more than ordinary.
But the wall was one or twenty centimeters thick. It seemed difficult for an ordinary person to penetrate it with just one shot, even with gunpowder.
"It seems that the marksmanship has reached a subtle level."
Looking at the spurge in his hand, Chen Yulou was thoughtful.
On that day, Zhang Yunqiao once said that the Five Tigers' Door-Breaking Gun has four levels: entry, mastery, perfection, and finally the unity of man and nature.
Deceptively simple.
But a stick in the moon, a sword in a lifetime, and a gun in a lifetime.
Just by being able to get started, I don’t know how many gun practitioners will be stopped to death, and it will be difficult to overcome them in a lifetime.
And Kunlun is worthy of being praised by Zhang Yunqiao as a rare martial arts wizard in a century.
Everything counts.
It only took more than two months to practice shooting.
It's already down to the smallest detail.
This kind of strength was indeed wasted in the past with just brute strength.
"Almost..."
Kunlun was not too surprised when the shopkeeper saw through it.
In his opinion, he had been practicing hard every day for more than two months, and he was just mediocre. He really couldn't hold his head high.
But the person who can truly be regarded as a martial arts prodigy is still the shopkeeper.
The scene before when the dragon scale demon armor was broken.
It was almost deeply imprinted in his mind.
That’s how the marksmanship is mastered and the palm power is subtle. And he just saw that he had practiced shooting a few times, and he was able to do it to such an extent. It was really scary.
"Yes, proficiency is just around the corner."
patted his shoulder.
Chen Yulou smiled.
At the same time, he passed by and stood in front of the cut-off painting wall. The smoke and dust had not cleared up yet, but he had already seen a stream of gold and jade from it.
"What is..."
Kunlun obviously saw it too.
Even he couldn't help but have a flash of surprise in his eyes.
“Of course it’s a good thing.”
Chen Yulou had already reached out and fished out the jade letter from the broken wall.
The jade letter is not small.
It's one foot square.
It is carved from ancient cyan jade and surrounded by several turns of gold rope.
At first glance, it is not an ordinary thing.
I held it in my hand and weighed it. Although the jade letter was large, it was not heavy and even felt a bit light.
As for the Dragon Bone Book, Chen Yulou has long heard of it. After all, it is an ancient relic of King Wen.
In addition, in the original work, this Tianshu dragon bone fell into the corpse hole of Tai Sui in the chaos and disappeared from the world.
It has always been a pity for him.
Now I get it by myself.
How could he make the same mistake again?
Asking Kunlun to bring a lantern over, Chen Yulou directly removed the golden threads one by one.
Holding a jade letter in one hand.
The five fingers of the other hand traced around the jade letter.
“Yes!”
Although the jade letter is integrated and ingenious, it is still carved by man.
There is still an obvious fine line.
He pressed his fingers against the upper edge and pushed gently, and the jade letter was immediately split into two.
Kunlun also looked over immediately.
Inside the letter, a piece of tortoise shell the size of a palm lay quietly, with obvious armor lines visible.
However, his eyes were soon attracted by the strangely shaped words on the tortoise shell.
From elementary school to present day.
Kunlun also already knew about one or two thousand characters.
I know that in ancient times there were bronze inscriptions and large and small seal scripts.
But the words at this moment were unlike anything he had ever seen.
If you have to say it.
In his opinion, it is similar to the legendary Book of Heaven.
"Sir, is this Dian?"
Kunlun looked surprised and couldn't help but ask.
This is King Xian Dazang, and he is from the ancient Dian Kingdom. Apart from this explanation, he can't think of the second possibility.
“Dian is still in the age of tying ropes and sketching to record events.”
“Where did the writing come from?”
"Besides, have you ever seen similar words along the way?"
Chen Yulou shook his head and smiled.
My eyes fell on the tortoise shell, but I couldn't bear to look away for even a moment.
Illuminated by the wind and lights.
The tortoise shell reflects a deep luster, but if you look closely, you will find that it is not black, but rather grayish brown.
The color is transparent.
It’s like being smeared with a layer of glaze.
Or patina formed by long-term touching.
After a rough scan, there are a total of eighty-seven characters on the tortoise shell.
Every word is obscure and difficult to understand.
No wonder it was called the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book. Those words were not similar to any kind of words he knew.
It should be the original creation of King Wen.
If I remember correctly, the one taken away from Blackwater City by the Partridge Whistle in the original work was finally deciphered by Sun Xuewu.
It is also the only known content of the Heavenly Book.
That is Fengming Qishan.
As a descendant of the Taibao of Guanshan, the Feng family made their fortune by deciphering the Heavenly Book from Hanging Coffins. It is not surprising that he could decipher the Heavenly Book.
Just.
Chen Yulou doesn’t have that ability.
The only chance to understand this heavenly book is to open the coffin of Wannian Zhixian, take the sixteen black jade rings from King Xian’s finger, and then use the Zhou Tianquan hexagram to deduce it bit by bit.
As for why it is necessary to decipher the Dragon Bone Book.
Of course it's not just about breaking the curse.
The Muchen Bead serves as the eye of the snake god.
Understand it, and when he enters that ghost cave in the future, he will have a chance to change the world!
Seeing the shopkeeper’s brows furrowed and silent.
Kunlun knew that this thing was of great importance.
Not daring to be distracted anymore, he held the big halberd in his hand and glanced around like a knife.
"Gone..."
Close the jade letter again.
Carefully put it into the bamboo basket behind Kunlun.
Right next to the Kunlun tire.
Although I have not yet entered Xianwang Xuan Palace during this trip to Zhelong Mountain, the harvest is extremely amazing.
Divide into water beads, green snake beads, Kunlun fetus, and add the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book in front of you.
Compared with these four artifacts.
Dragon knotweed and golden mask are nothing.
“Okay.”
Noticed his actions.
Kunlun’s expression was even more solemn.
There is a bamboo basket behind you. It is all the hard work of the shopkeeper. It must not be damaged in the slightest.
Wait for the two of them to return to the middle of the Forest of Steles.
Although everyone was curious, they didn’t ask any more questions.
Chen Yulou put his hands behind his hands and lowered his head, and glanced down at the cave.
Just a moment of effort.
The two armored beasts have penetrated more than one meter deep.
There are two wind lanterns hanging on the cave wall, pulled by the hooks in the hands of the waiters.
It also illuminates the bottom of the cave completely.
"It should be soon."
After a brief look, Chen Yulou's eyesight was amazing, and he quickly noticed the changes.
Although the Heavenly Palace stands in the air.
The lift is not supported.
But the foundation is extremely amazing.
Otherwise, they would not be able to withstand the pressure in the main hall.
“Dong——”
Sure enough.
His words were like an omen.
The earth and stone broken open by the armored beast's feet suddenly fell down, and there was a sound of metal and stone colliding.
The two pangolins seemed to know how to get through, and they worked even harder for a while.
It took a few clicks.
A dark passage built with bricks and stones appeared at the bottom of the cave, running horizontally.
“There is a way!”
“Brother, let me go and have a look.”
The old foreigner's eyes lit up, and he immediately jumped and fell to the bottom of the cave.
First, put the two armored beasts back into the bamboo basket.
Then he took out a fire stick and blew it gently, and the swaying fire suddenly ignited.
Wait to dispel the surrounding darkness.
He raised his eyes and looked up.
Only then did he realize that there was a deep and long corridor beneath him.
It's a bit like the tunnel before entering the underground palace.
But it is even lower, and can almost accommodate one person in and out. There are no traces of lamps and candles on the stone walls on both sides. It is obviously a secret passage.
By the light of the fire in his hand, he looked at it intently for a moment.
The old foreigner suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a stone door standing in front of the secret passage, about six or seven meters away.
"Brother, Boss Chen, there is a door down here."
The old foreigner did not dare to act rashly, so he immediately raised his head and passed the news back.
“Door?”
Chen Yulou’s mind moved.
Immediately he greeted a few people and brought a few skilled guys with him. However, for the sake of caution, he deliberately left Kunlun, Red Girl and Hua Ling outside.
This tunnel is kept so secret.
Who knows, King Xian has laid a dragnet among them.
In the past, he had always considered things thoroughly, thinking before and after, and would only fight if he was at least 70 to 80% sure.
But the tomb of King Xian is no better than Pingshan.
From here, it may be better than underwater.
And one more road means one more chance of survival.
Now that it was finally penetrated, he naturally had to go down and take a look before he was willing to do so.
“Let’s go!”
No one was delayed.
They all jumped into the tunnel below.
Not surprisingly, the road back was blocked by a high wall. Chen Yulou even tried to push it, but there was no movement at all.
This should be the end.
The old foreigner held his mirror umbrella to clear the way.
The people behind him had a tacit understanding, and no one said anything. They quickly walked through the corridor and soon arrived outside the stone door.
The old foreigner who was one step ahead tried to push.
He turned around and shook his head at several people.
The meaning is self-evident.
I'm afraid it won't be possible to break through purely by brute force.
Chen Yulou walked to the front and raised his wind lantern. Only then did the group see that there were large stone carvings on the stone door.
The sky is filled with stars.
In the middle are layers of palaces.
At the bottom are the clouds and mist.
After a rough count, Chen Yulou couldn't help but sneer.
"The thirty-third heaven, ascend to the Heavenly Palace, enter the Star Gate, and control the first heaven."
"This is the Star Gate, corresponding to the Heaven Gate."
"They were all kept by King Xian for himself. He probably wanted to disintegrate his corpse and become an immortal, ascend to heaven from the Tianmen, and then become an immortal from the Star Gate and become an ancestor."
Listen to his explanation.
Only then did everyone realize.
"Then shopkeeper, how do you open the star gate?"
A waiter boldly asked.
The others were also thinking secretly. When they heard him ask, their eyes suddenly fell on Chen Yulou.
“Ziwei is the one who controls the latitude and longitude of the sky, the earth, and the stars in the sky. However, the first Yang star of the Big Dipper also has the theory of the Nine Heavens.”
Chen Yulou looked at the stars in the sky. Medium sweep.
Thinking softly.
The Robber's Cave deep in Bitan also has a bronze door, which is called Tianmen.
However, unlike the Star Gate, a window is opened on the Tianmen, which is equivalent to leaving a hole for burglary.
It is simpler than the current star gate.
"In that case."
"Brother Chen, let me give it a try."
At the critical moment, Partridge Whistle showed his decisiveness in killing.
He took the umbrella from the old foreigner and took the initiative to ask for it.
"...that's fine."
Glanced at the mirror umbrella.
With its protection, even if there is a mechanism hidden behind the door, they will have enough time to react.
Immediately step aside half a step.
He held an umbrella from the partridge whistle and walked outside the stone gate.
After confirming that Ziwei and Yangxing passed by, without hesitation, he pressed his finger hard on Ziweixing.
Click——
The star stone carving seemed to have a mechanical clasp embedded in it.
I was pushed deep into the door.
The originally dark stone door suddenly lit up.
It was as if the stars in the sky were all lit up.
In the clouds and mist, the thirty-three heavenly palaces are floating from top to bottom, with light and shadow floating one by one.
This scene made everyone’s hearts tremble.
It is really hard to imagine how King Xian did it.
It seems to have an unreal feeling like a dream.
As a heavenly palace lit up at the highest point of the sky, there was also a sound of a mechanism opening from inside the door.
“Careful!”
Listen to the movement.
The partridge whistle at the front immediately arched slightly.
Hold the mirror umbrella keel firmly with both hands.
His eyes were fixed on the stone door in front of him.
Just...
Wait for the sound of the machine to subside.
The imagined hidden arrows, hidden fires, and quicksand traps did not appear.
Instead, the stone door was slowly pushed open a gap from the inside.
“The door is open?!”
