Chapter 333 The Astrolabe is Obtained
As far as Gu Xu knows, the inner treasury of the royal family is a very special place - it nominally exists within the Luojing Imperial City, but in fact it is hidden in space with the help of space formations. In the gap. As a result, people cannot reach this place directly from the outside world and must use teleportation spells.
Because of this, "Bai Chen" had to sneak into the "Luoshui Conference" and master the spatial coordinates through Yinjiuji, so that he could successfully reach the inner treasury of the royal family.
In the next period of time, Gu Xu walked through the rows of cabinets in the royal palace, his eyes quickly scanning each label.
"Qinggang Sword", "Devil-Slaying Sword", "Void Treasure Mirror", "Soul-Calling Flag", "Lingxue Pearl"...
Some of these names he had seen in books, some he had never heard of. But he knows that these things are extremely powerful magic weapons. If he is lucky enough to get a suitable one, his combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.
But his attention did not stay on these things for too long.
Because when he entered the royal treasury, he felt a disembodied voice calling him not far away.
In addition, the white-haired boy hiding deep in the world of his consciousness also seemed to wake up - although he did not speak, Gu Xu could faintly feel his expectant and urgent mood.
The wind is blowing and dust is flying.
Under the guidance of intuition, Gu Xu quickly walked around to an inconspicuous corner deep in the warehouse.
He slowly squatted down and stared at an old cabinet door in front of him. The labels on the cabinet doors were dusty and tattered.
"Astrolabe."
Only these two simple words are written on the label, without a single extra description.
Gu Xu stared at it for a while, then reached out to pull the cabinet door.
There is no lock on the cabinet door.
But the moment his fingertips came into contact with it, a golden light suddenly flashed through the crack in the door - Gu Xu knew that this was to verify his identity.
There was only a "creak" sound, and the cabinet door opened outwards.
A bronze object with a simple shape appeared in Gu Xu's field of vision.
It was not the disc shape he imagined.
It is an irregular figure similar to a fan shape.
He slowly took it out, placed it in the palm of his hand, and observed it carefully.
In an instant, the true energy in his body grew rapidly like boiling, and the meridians surged and roared like a flood that broke a bank. At this moment, he faintly felt the opportunity to break through.
The surface of the "astrolabe" is carved with complex patterns.
Gu Xu knew that this was a star map, depicting the positions of the stars in the sky.
But he also saw that this star map was incomplete.
The complete star map includes "Three Yuans, Four Symbols and Twenty-eight Constellations" - "Three Yuans" are the three areas around the North Celestial Pole, namely "Ziwei Yuan", "Taiwei Yuan" and "Tianshi Yuan" "; "Four Elephants" refers to the star field in the four directions of east, west, south and north. According to the distribution of its stars, it is imagined as the image of the four mythical beasts: green dragon, white tiger, red bird and Xuanwu; each elephant is divided into seven Sections are called "Su", and there are twenty-eight Sus in total.
But in this star map, there are only the "Three Walls" in the center and the Suzaku symbol in the south.
——The eastern Canglong elephant, the western white tiger elephant, and the northern Xuanwu elephant are all missing.
"Is this 'astrolabe' in my hand incomplete?" Gu Xu secretly thought, "Just because it is missing several important parts, it is not what I imagined. Round, but with such an irregular appearance? "However, the incomplete "astrology chart" contains such a majestic power - in just a short moment, he almost stepped into the fourth realm with half a foot. threshold.
Gu Xu couldn't imagine how terrifying the power it would be if the complete astrolabe was in his hands.
He originally planned to seize this opportunity and break through immediately.
But considering that there was an unidentified powerful ghost not far away, he gave up this plan and decided to find a safe place to break through to the fourth realm after leaving the royal treasury.
After all, as we all know, breaking through a situation requires full concentration. If it is interfered by the outside world, it may fail, and it may even lead to true energy disorder, and one can go crazy if one is not careful.
.........
On the other side of the royal inner treasury, Zhao Yan stood in front of a tall cabinet, looking at the label on the cabinet door, her mood fluctuating.
The word "flint" is written on the label, and its origin is noted next to it.
It briefly describes the history of Emperor Taizu of Da Qi’s conquest of the Northern Kingdom of Yan - the last King of Yan presented the most precious "flint" to Emperor Taizu as a sign of surrender. From then on, there was no longer a Northern King of Yan in the wilderness. , only Duke Yan of Youzhou.
This passage seems to be describing facts, but between the lines there are hidden praises for Emperor Taizu and the Daqi royal family.
Seeing such content, most Qi people may feel proud, but for a descendant of Dayan like Zhao Yan, they have mixed feelings.
"Today, let me take you back to the land of Dayan," Zhao Yan stared at the word "flint", her eyes burning, and she murmured, "The great 'Vulcan' made it with his own hands." The holy objects should be used to protect His people, rather than lying in this dark corner gathering dust."
As she spoke, she reached out to pull the cabinet door.
There was no movement from the cabinet door.
It seemed to be extremely heavy, and no matter how much effort she exerted, she could not pull it open.
A self-deprecating smile appeared on Zhao Yan's face.
She felt that she should have thought that in a place like the royal treasury where valuable treasures are stored, not only would there be many obstacles to entering, but each treasure would also have to be insured.
Perhaps it is because for the descendants of Dayan, "flint" is of too great significance, and it can activate her bloodline and greatly increase her strength.
So when she saw the space passage and realized that she had the opportunity to break into the inner vault, she did so without hesitation, without spending too much thought on what might happen next.
Of course, with Zhao Yan's consistent style of killing gods and Buddhas, she would not give up her plan just because of this mere cabinet door.
She held the "Yizhangwei" tightly, lit the "Sacred Fire Totem", gathered all the true energy in her body into the palm of her hand, and prepared to use violent means to break the obstacle in front of her.
However, before she could take action, a gust of black wind swept through the entire room, followed by a loud "bang", and all the cabinet doors were forced by a terrifying force at the same time. Pry open.
Zhao Yan narrowed her eyes and glanced at the figure of "Bai Chen" not far away.
Although "Bai Chen" had his back to her at the moment, she could guess that the black wind that instantly pried open all the cabinet doors must be his handiwork.
Then she took a deep breath and looked into the cabinet.
