Shu Guan walked on solid steps step by step.
The touch from under his feet clearly told him that this was not an illusory thing in a painting, but an extremely real ground paved with gold bricks.
If it is an illusion, I am afraid that the bamboo dragonfly in the palm of my hand will fly again and let me see the reality.
The steps were sloping down, and there was no light around.
The wooden door behind him has been closed, so no more light can shine in.
Shu Guan did not turn around to see if he could push the wooden door open again. Since he had decided to explore the underground palace, he just moved forward firmly.
He took out a steel windproof lighter, lit the flame, then stretched out his fingers to pick off the flame and placed it in the palm of his hand. The flame turned into a ball of fire, and the surrounding area became brighter.
Shu Guan put the suitcase on the steps, took out a pack of Sanliu brand cigarettes from his pocket, took one out and lit it close to the fireball, then held the cigarette in his mouth, picked up the suitcase, and continued to move forward.
I shouldn't be under the erotic palace now.
If this staircase is under the Spring Palace, it would be difficult for someone to not discover it after five thousand years, especially during the recent renovation. I heard from the Second Young Master that the drainage system has been rebuilt underground in the Spring Palace. Such a large It is impossible for the project not to discover anomalies underground.
So I should be under Zhongshan now.
The golden wooden door in the gold silk painting directly connected the palace of Emperor Gengshi to the underground palace under Zhongshan Mountain.
Holding the fireball in his hand, a cigarette between his lips, and carrying the suitcase in the other hand, he put the bamboo dragonfly on his shoulder and walked forward.
Everything around is monotonous.
The floor paved with gold bricks and the bluestone walls have no decoration, but they give people a simple and honest feeling.
This passage is about three meters wide and five meters high. You can imagine how difficult it was to build such an underground building about five thousand years ago.
At a certain moment, Shu Guan suddenly stepped on something under his feet, and the feeling from his soles was like stepping on thick snow.
Shu Guan looked down and saw that his feet were deeply sunk in a layer of gray-white dust.
How could there be dust in such a closed environment?
Shu Guan frowned.
Along the way just now, the ground was extremely smooth, but suddenly there was so much dust here, which was naturally a bit strange.
Then he knelt down, put the suitcase aside, and reached out to fiddle with the dust.
Shu Guan pulled out a few short, iron-like sharp objects from under the thick dust.
He picked up the sharp objects and looked at them carefully.
...This seems to be the arrowhead of an iron arrow...
Shu Guan's heart moved, and he placed those sharp arrow-like objects and a small amount of dust in his palm.
The next moment, the secret appeared in front of him.
A group of men in ragged clothes and bloodstained bodies walked out of the tunnel.
Their faces showed extreme fatigue and pain, but there was also a hint of hope, as if they could have a new life as long as they walked out of this tunnel.
Then they failed to get out of this tunnel.
When they came here, countless arrows flew from the front.
These tired and painful men were struck by arrows and fell down in the tunnel.
"Ji Xiu! Didn't you say that after repairing the underground palace, you would let us live? You lied to us!"
A burly man who seemed to be the leader roared angrily and desperately towards the front of Yan.
What responded to him was an even more violent rain of arrows.
The big man soon fell down with arrows embedded in his body.
The secret picture also slowly dissipated.
Shu Guan was silent for a moment, then shook the arrows and dust in his palm to the ground.
He now knew what the dust was.
The dust that remains after the bones have decayed.
Shu Guan remembered that Professor Lai Sheng had said that he had seen it from the notebook of Emperor Gengshi's personal chamberlain. Emperor Gengshi had ordered the descendants of the Monkey Army to build this underground palace. He then killed all the descendants. In the underground palace.
Now that five thousand years have passed, the monkey armies who died in the underground palace have surrendered, leaving only the dust on the ground.
The only ones that have not been corrupted are the arrowheads made of fine iron. Because of the dry environment in this underground palace, they have been preserved.
Shu Guan didn't know why Emperor Gengshi deceived these surrendered soldiers and then killed them all.
Qian Jing'an was right. Emperor Gengshi was an emperor with an excellent reputation in history. In addition to his illustrious martial arts, he was also known for his generosity and kindness.
A person's character may be disguised for a while, but it cannot be disguised for the rest of his life.
Just like if a person does good things throughout his life, no matter how dark his heart is, he is still a good person.
So why did Emperor Gengshi, who had never left a stain in the history books, do such a seemingly vicious thing?
Maybe, he has to do it!
Shu Guan sighed lightly and continued walking forward.
Soon after, a ball of light appeared ahead.
Shuguan stopped and narrowed his eyes.
Now that there is light, he can see clearly what is ahead.
Although the light was still far away, Shu Guan still saw a palace ahead, and the bright light came from the palace.
This is the underground palace!
Shu Guan opened the suitcase, took out the giant ox-horn bow and iron arrow quiver and put it on his back. He held the ox-ear sharp knife in one hand, put the ten-eyed dzi bead on his wrist, and hid the peach wood sword in the other arm. sleeves, then cover the suitcase and continue moving forward.
Stepping on the corpse dust on the ground, he moved forward slowly step by step.
Ten minutes later, Shu Guan walked to the palace.
This is a palace even more magnificent than the tallest palace among the erotic palaces.
Although it is grand, it does not have any gorgeous and colorful meaning. The entire palace is made of bluestone, with sharp edges and corners, sharp lines, solemn and cold.
Shu Guan walked to the palace. In front of him were high steps. Each step was almost as high as his shoulders. These steps were by no means built for ordinary people.
I don’t know what kind of existence it was for in the first place that the steps needed to be built so high.
Standing in front of this huge palace, Shu looked as small as an ant.
Shu Guan looked up and saw that the palace was supported by nine unusually tall and thick stone pillars, but there was no palace door. It was transparent from all sides, but Shu Guan stood under the steps and could not see the scene inside the palace. You can see the silvery white light radiating from the temple.
And on the nine stone pillars, there is a coiled dragon embossed on it.
Looking over it, I felt that the carvings of the nine coiled dragons were too lifelike.
He has seen dragons and lived with a dragon for a long time, so when he saw the nine dragons carved on the stone pillar, it was as if he saw nine Aotians coiled quietly and motionless on the stone pillar.
If there is any difference between them and Ao Tian, the nine coiled dragons on this stone pillar all have a pair of dragon horns, and Shu Guan remembered that Ao Tian's dragon claws seemed to have five dragon toes, and the nine coiled dragons had There are seven dragon toes on the dragon claw.
The nine coiled dragons are just like the nine real dragons except that they are lifeless.
Just when Shu Guan was sighing that the man who carved the dragon back then was a miraculous craftsman, a slight feeling of heat suddenly came from his chest.
Shu Guan was startled for a moment, then reached into his arms and took out a round, black, palm-sized scale.
That's Ao Tian's dragon scale.
When he and Ao Tian parted ways, Ao Tian left him this dragon scale. As long as he goes to the beach and puts this dragon scale into the sea water, he can contact Ao Tian.
Because the dragon scale has strong spiritual energy fluctuations, it is not suitable to be placed in the horse racing pavilion. Shu Guan has always kept it close to his body and relied on his own secret breath-containing skills to hide the breath of the dragon scale.
For more than half a year, this piece of dragon scale has never been abnormal in his arms. At this moment, this piece of dragon scale suddenly became hot, and it became hotter and hotter. .
After Shu Guan was suddenly startled, he immediately realized something. He raised his head again and glanced at the nine coiled dragons on the nine stone pillars, and was silent for a moment.
It seems that this underground palace is indeed the work of heaven!
Shu Guan took a deep breath and then began to leap forward.
There are nineteen steps in total, and Shuguan goes up in one step.
Of course he could jump directly to the top of the steps, but for some reason, Shu Guan chose to climb up one step at a time.
Perhaps it was because after entering the wooden door in the gold silk painting, he kept walking forward step by step, without any impatience or hesitation, like a steady and gentle river, until he reached the depths of the earth. In front of the miraculous huge palace.
So for the last part of the journey, Shu Guan felt that he should not destroy his rhythm and mood along the way.
Then at last he reached the top of the palace steps.
When Shu Guan's feet landed on the last step, the nine coiled dragons on the nine towering tree-like stone pillars all raised their heads at the same moment.
The nine coiled dragons were still lifeless, and their dragon eyes were still as empty as stone sculptures.
But above their bodies, as they raised their heads, an extremely cold and extremely powerful terrifying aura rose.
At this moment, Shu Guan's hair stood on end.
Because these nine breaths, no matter which one, are much more powerful than any land immortal he has ever seen.
It was even stronger than the pressure he felt standing in front of the bluestone wall at the top of the Phoenix Mountain in Tantai Family.
Shu Guan subconsciously tried to grab the giant bow with horns on his back.
Then he realized that his best choice would be to hide in the small world of the Ten-Eyed Dzi Bead.
But before he could react, the dragon scale from Ao Tian in his palm suddenly became even hotter.
If the dragon scale was like a hand warmer in his hand before, now it was as hot as red-hot charcoal.
Moreover, the dragon scales flew up from Shu Guan's palm and hovered in front of Shu Guan.
An aura from Ao Tian that Shu Guan was extremely familiar with emanated from the dragon scales.
Shu Guan felt this breath.
The coiled dragon on the nine stone pillars seemed to feel this aura, so it just raised its dragon head, slowly lowered it, and lay quietly on the stone pillars, as if it had not moved at all.
The scene where Jiulong raised his head just now seemed to be an illusion caused by Shu Guan.
Of course Shu Guan knew that he was not delusional, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the piece of Ao Tian's dragon scale also fell back into his palm from the air.
The dragon scales still became cold, as if they were the same as before.
...Thank you very much...
Shu Guan muttered and thanked the guy who was carrying him somewhere in the depths of the sea, and then put the dragon scale back into his arms.
Then, he raised his head and looked into the hall.
Then he saw his senior brother.
Yes, originally Shu Guan wanted to see where the light in the hall came from, and then see what the scene was like in the underground palace hidden under Zhongshan Mountain.
This was his plan for what he was going to do next when he raised his head.
But when he raised his head, the first thing he saw was his senior brother, so at this moment, Shu Guan no longer paid attention to the other things in the hall.
The eldest brother sat cross-legged.
Shu Guan didn't even notice where the senior brother was sitting. He just saw the senior brother sitting there with his head lowered, his body as motionless as a stone sculpture, and as lifeless as a stone sculpture.
In other words, it is as lifeless as the coiled dragon on the nine stone pillars.
Looking back, the whole person feels like falling into an ice cave.
The moment Jiulong raised his head, his hair stood on end, and he felt great fear in his heart.
But at this moment, Shu Guan's mind went blank. He felt cold all over and his chest heaved violently involuntarily.
Why is Senior Brother here?
Why does the senior brother look like he is dead?
Because I was so shocked and surprised that my brain immediately shut down for a few seconds, then these two thoughts popped up.
He didn't have time to think about anything else at this point.
Then Shu Guan glanced at the senior brother again, he wanted to confirm whether he saw it correctly.
The eldest brother is a monkey, a golden-haired ape to be precise.
Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for one species to distinguish the subtle differences in individuals of another species.
For example, if a monkey looks at people, it may look at someone like Zhang San or John Doe in its eyes.
The same is true for humans when looking at monkeys. If two monkeys are of similar size, you may be able to tell the difference between them, but if you separate them, most of them will not be able to tell which is which.
Of course this is an ordinary situation.
But the eldest brother is different from Shu Guan. During the two years of Shan Ji Guan, Shu Guan and his eldest brother got along day and night. Even with his eyes closed, Shu Guan could recall every detail of his eldest brother's appearance.
He would never mistake another monkey for his senior brother.
So after taking a second look, Shu Guan confirmed that the person sitting in the underground palace at this time was the senior brother.
And the senior brother looks like he is dead!
Shu Guan's body trembled violently, and his face became paler.
No, this is impossible!
His senior brother had met him a few months ago, so how could he have died inexplicably? Or he died under Zhongshan Mountain, in an underground palace five thousand years ago.
This is definitely an illusion!
Perhaps it was a magic circle in this underground palace that confused his eyes.
That's for sure!
correct……
Shu Guan remembered something and immediately took off the bamboo dragonfly pinned to his shoulder and threw it towards the senior brother in the palace.
With the bamboo dragonfly here, this kind of illusory formation will no longer blind your eyes. The bamboo dragonfly can help you see the truth!
The bamboo dragonfly drew a parabola in the air.
That's not a flying gesture.
Then the bamboo dragonfly landed on the ground with a thud.
Shu Guan's body swayed and was about to fall.
...Maybe, the method of using the bamboo dragonfly is wrong...
...Maybe, what I see now is reality...
Two more thoughts flashed through my mind.
Shu Guan's heart quickly fell towards the bottomless abyss.
He actually knew very well that the first possibility was almost impossible.
The second possibility is the real possibility.
At this moment, he heard a voice coming from the palace.
"Who are you?"
It was not that the senior brother suddenly raised his head and spoke to him.
Although at this moment Shu Guan extremely hoped that the eldest brother would raise his head, look at him with a narrow look and say such a joke.
Unfortunately not.
That's not the voice of Senior Brother either.
Shu Guan turned his head with some difficulty and looked at the source of the sound.
Then he saw a little green pig.
