"Judging from this stone turtle, the water level here has not changed much all year round. It seems that we don't have to worry about the threat of rising and falling tides for the time being." Shi Zimiao said to Sun Quan.
Sun Quan blinked. He really hadn't thought about such a problem beforehand, but Shi Zimiao had thought it through. Just imagine, what if the water here rises once every year and the entire island in the lake is submerged? Do they still have to soak in the water and live for days or even months? Similarly, if there is a drought for one or two months here every year, they must store water in advance. Of course, with so many fish in the lake, the possibility of drought is almost non-existent.
"With so many waterfalls, can the flow remain stable?" Sun Quan frowned, "Almost the same amount of water flows in, and almost the same amount of water flows out. What does this mean?"
"What does it mean?" Shi Zimiao tilted his head.
"It means there is probably a larger water storage lake connected to this place. If the air pressure on both sides is the same, the water in the two lakes will even be parallel! Of course, ours is an underground enclosed space. Theoretically speaking, the water on the other side is The water level should be higher than our side." Sun Quan gestured with his hands and explained with his advanced physics knowledge.
"Air pressure?" Of course Shi Zimiao didn't understand what air pressure was, but seeing that Sun Quan's words were clear and logical, she naturally didn't doubt it, "How did you learn so many things at such a young age?"
"Don't underestimate my age. People have great potential and can learn a lot." Sun Quan replied. Just imagine, after three years of college entrance examination and five years of simulation, you can master the pinnacle of knowledge in a person's life. Even if Sun Quan does not travel through time Moreover, at his current age, it is not impossible for him to know astronomy as well as geography.
"Even if you prove that there is indeed a passage to the outside world under the water, don't forget that you still need to cultivate your Taoist heart first and then advance to Xiantian before you can leave alive." Shi Zimiao reminded Sun Quan.
Sun Quan chuckled. Having something to look forward to is better than anything else. This can be regarded as the biggest piece of good news Sun Quan got today!
While they were talking, the two of them walked side by side, obviously walking steadily step by step, but their pace was faster than usual, and they couldn't help but want to have a glimpse of this ancient miracle.
Thousands of stone steps passed by in a blink of an eye, and Sun Quan and the two soon stood in front of the entrance to the huge palace. This huge palace is so huge that looking through the gate is like peering through a tube, boundless. There is a stone plaque at the entrance, with three characters "War Temple" engraved on it, each character is about ten feet in size. The moment he looked at these three words, Sun Quan felt his scalp numb, and tears suddenly flowed out.
"The Temple of War! The Temple of War! It's really the Temple of War!"
They went through untold hardships, risked their bodies and souls, and came here with the consciousness of being trapped for thirty years. Finally, they found what they had been dreaming of! It can be said that no matter whether I can finally understand this God of War Illustrated Book, no matter whether I can find the way to heaven in my lifetime, I have no regrets about this trip!
Sun Quan took two deep breaths, stretched out his hand to wipe his eyes,
"Let's go in."
Turning around and looking around, he realized that Shi Zimiao was just like him, his eyes were wet with tears. In fact, Shi Zimiao was still wet now, but unlike before in the cave, facing this endless wonder and yearning, nothing in the world seemed to be able to attract Sun Quan's attention. No wonder there are always some people who would rather give up everything to pursue the way of heaven.
Suddenly Shi Zimiao's eyes flashed,
"Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things like stupid dogs!"
After saying that, he took another step and walked towards the palace.
"Hey, wait for me!" Sun Quan hurriedly followed. When he walked through the palace gate, he realized that it was not Shi Zimiao who had an idea just now, but she saw the writing on the stone wall opposite the entrance.
To be honest, this huge palace was so huge that Sun Quan felt that it didn't look like a place for human beings to live, but a base for giants. Because not only is the stone hall large, but the words on it are also very large. Just like the words "Heaven and Earth are unkind and treat all things as stupid dogs", written from top to bottom on the opposite stone wall, the length of the entire first page is almost one meter. 100 meters! You may not notice it if you look at it from a distance, but if you get closer, you will find that each character is several times larger than Sun Quan's entire body.
The light inside the huge palace was different from that outside the palace. There was red light outside, but there was green light inside. Sun Quan looked up and found a round object embedded in the center of the roof of the palace, two feet in diameter, emitting green light. The yellow light is like a miniature sun, bathing the entire huge hall in thousands of blue lights. With this light source as the center, the roof of the hall is laid out into a large circle with a diameter of twenty feet. If you look closely, you can see that it is the same star map as the entrance to the secret passage, but it is several times bigger here, and the giant one is like a star map. The temple is covered under infinite stars.
I don’t know how this war temple was built. There is not a single pillar in the temple, and there is no support. The most eye-catching thing is that there is a relief about two feet square on the ground in the center of the palace. In addition, there are twenty-four reliefs of the same size on each side of the left and right walls, plus the reliefs in the center of the palace. Exactly forty-nine.
Shi Zimiao looked around, a look on his face, and he said excitedly,
"That's it! The words left by Zhang Daoling happened to be the number forty-nine! I asked, why do I always feel that the lines are a bit obscure? It turns out that what Zhang Daoling left was not [words], but [paintings]. He was doing his best , describe everything in the Temple of War!"
Therefore, during the day, those forty-nine characters will be forty-nine independent individuals, because they respectively symbolize the forty-nine reliefs here. At night, when the light is dim and the text becomes a whole, what is confirmed is the star map on the top of the temple! It's a pity that Zhang Daoling's Taoism is limited (relatively) after all, and the content he described based on his own understanding is not even one ten thousandth of what is in the God of War.
Unlike Shi Zimiao, who planned the overall situation at a glance, Sun Quan's focus was elsewhere.
"Shi, Master Shi! Stop looking, there is someone over there!" Sun Quan suddenly pointed forward and said tremblingly.
It turned out that from the place where the two entered the door, there were twenty-four reliefs on the left and right respectively. There was also a relief in the middle of the hall. And just behind the relief in the center of the hall, where the line of sight was blocked, was the wall they were facing. Under the words "Heaven and Earth are unkind and treat all things as stupid dogs", there was a man sitting cross-legged facing the wall.
Shi Zimiao frowned. After Sun Quan reminded her, she had just seen this person. Of course there was a reason why she was attracted to these forty-nine reliefs, but there was also a reason why Shi Zimiao was accustomed to observing with his inner eye.
"That man has no breath..." Shi Zimiao said slowly, "It should be."
Sun Quan's eyelids twitched,
"should?"
"I really didn't feel any breath." Shi Zimiao whispered, "But the Temple of War is only opened once in thirty years, and I think this person's clothes are even more ancient. I can't imagine that he is already sitting here. How long. But if he died, why didn’t his body rot? I can’t understand.”
"Hey, Master Shi Zhai, don't scare me by saying such things." Sun Quan was a little trembling. Although he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he had watched zombie movies. I don’t know which era this person is from. He may not be dead, but he has no breath. Could it be that he is some kind of zombie king general in the legend?
