Yue Guanchao lowered his head and looked at his eyes. The blue eyes of the golden monkey were not gemstones. The luster of the eyes came from the glaze on the surface. His dagger was unconsciously attracted to the eyeballs and trembled at his waist. He noticed something unusual about the dagger and picked up the eyeball and approached it. dagger.

There was a snap, and the eyeball was instantly sucked to the dagger!

"Magnetic beads?"

Yue Guanchao asked Ma Chang to take out his suspension rope, and it turned out that it could be sucked onto it. This proved that his guess was correct and it was indeed a magnetic bead.

He followed the magnetic beads on the dagger and looked at the toad at the bottom. The black holes in the toad's red eyes seemed to have grooves!

"Let's go down and have a look."

After some wandering, he took Ma Chang back to the ground. Yue Guanchao carefully observed Jin Chan's eyes. The protruding red eye was as big as a fist and the groove in the middle was the size of a grape. If he hadn't noticed the Bagua dent at the bottom, , Leng Buding thought they were pupils at first glance.

He had searched so many times without noticing it, which shows how successful the golden toad's disguise was!

"Put two in first and try!"

Yue Guanchao read the hexagram accurately and stuck two blue eyeballs into the toad's eyes. When the magnetic beads came close to the pupils, they seemed to be returning to their original places and were quickly attracted to them.

There were several clicks, and the golden monkey corresponding to the golden toad stopped in place. The gear behind the butt stopped instantly, and the movement of the arms finally slowed down and hovered in place.

"Really, it seems our guess is right. Hurry and get the other eyes stuck in."

The two of them realized that the eyeball was the key, and their eyes flashed with joy. They worked together to return the other eyeballs to their original positions according to the hexagram.

When the last eyeball was stuck in the toad's pupil, a deafening roar sounded from the machine platform.

The black pestle at the top was slowly lifted out of the copper furnace. At the moment it was lifted, all the gears and copper shafts stopped quickly. The sudden stop of the gears caused a harsh scream, like an old man who had run out of oil, coughing and swishing to make the last sound of his life. sigh.

At this moment, all the tremors in the palace had stopped, the roar of the star hammer and iron chain became smaller and smaller, and disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the urn city gradually returned to silence.

"Yue Guanchao, did you succeed?"

He followed Song Siyuan's voice and walked out of the tower. He stood in front of the crenel and everyone said hello:

"The agency has stopped. Come up and take a look!"

Song Siyuan wanted to step out of the gate, but Geda quickly stopped her: "Don't get caught in an ambush. Find something to try first."

After finishing speaking, Geda took the strong man's shield and threw it to the floor with all his strength, smashing out several sparks with a loud bang.

They waited for nearly a stick of incense to make sure that no mechanism was activated, and then they dared to entangle the strong men with climbing up the tower through the snake-tailed path under the city wall.

"Master Cat, look?"

Yue Guanchao pointed to the mechanical copper furnace in the palace. Mr. Cat looked at the golden monkey's eyeball stuffed in the toad and couldn't help but praise: "So, there is such a solution!"

Yue Guanchao looked behind him. After a few strong men died, other strong men were also injured and looked depressed. He said:

"Indeed, Ma Chang and I thought the black pestle was a mechanism. We couldn't get it out after fishing for a long time. Leng Buding looked at it with animal eyes and realized that we had been deceived. No matter what, it was a blessing in disguise for us, even though we lost five or six pieces. Brother, at least the others are safe."

"At that time, I hope the steward will make a note of these martyred brothers, and the rewarded money will be given to their families!"

Chao Guanchao looked around. He understood what Yue Guanchao meant and hurriedly cupped his hands and clasped his fists: "That's natural. It is our family's custom to treat those who are loyal to you with kindness."

"It's just that we have to find the treasure as soon as possible."

Chao Guanchao did not suffer at all. The implication was that he asked Yue Guanchao to stop dawdling. Yue Guanchao understood and led them out of the tower, turning his back to the urn city and looking towards the underground world behind the tower.

Behind the city tower is Shangjing Longquan Mansion with majestic palaces and towering eaves.

Everyone stood high on the city tower and could easily overlook the whole city from top to bottom. The entire ancient city was spread out in front of everyone like a chessboard pane. They couldn't help but widen their eyes and take a breath.

There is no ceiling over the ancient city, and the rough rock top full of fluorite is exposed. Countless blue fluorite covers the dome, growing and crystallizing wantonly, absorbing the light of the ever-burning candle, and reflecting the blue sky.

For a moment, Yue Guanchao almost thought that what he saw above him was really a clear sky, and he had a weird feeling like he was looking at the blue sky from a cave!

In the distance, there is a disk-shaped red fluorite, which looks like the rising sun in the blue sky, hanging high in the artificial sky.

At this time, thousands of everlasting candles around the ancient city are burning fiercely, the ancient rivers are filled with water vapor, and the green islands are like fairy mountains. The smoke covers the top of the tomb and is coated with a golden halo by the candlelight, recreating the glory of the old capital.

Song Siyuan took out the "Picture of Shangjing Anle" that Chao Wenshun gave them before leaving. The outline of the ancient city was the same as the map.

This ancient city is square in all directions, long from north to south and short from east to west. It is modeled after Chang'an, Gyeonggi Province, with five vertical and seven horizontal streets. Hundreds of residential buildings are dotted here and there, and the houses are connected horizontally. It is a spectacular sight!

The imperial palace is located in the extreme north and is divided into the outer imperial city and the inner palace city. All palaces are located on the central axis, and the inner and outer verandahs, imperial flower ponds and gardens, and the separate palace gardens are all clearly visible.

Suzaku Avenue forcibly divides things from east to west. On this 100-meter-wide and 1,000-meter-long Tongtian Avenue, you can see groups of Golden Crow Guards patrolling on horseback, and other soldiers lining the royal road, and substations on both sides of the Suzaku Avenue drainage canals.

The folk streets farther away are less solemn and majestic, and more showy!

Vendors walking around the streets, civilians visiting relatives and friends, dignitaries traveling with honors, merchants opening doors to welcome guests, old farmers carrying hoes and oats, bosses calling friends, relatives and nobles wearing tortoise shell gold hairpins... Part 1 The capital city is bustling and prosperous.

Taking a closer look at the details of the house, we can see that the school is full of white-clothed scholars shaking their heads and reading, the windowsills of the Qin Building are full of flowery craftsmen, and there are foreign merchants' camel teams guarding the outside of the West Market, just waiting to open a shop to do business.

After looking inside the city, their eyes turned to the outside again.

The nine-circle Mujiang River winds from the north city to the western suburbs. Two cao rivers lead into the city, which serve as both drinking water and water transportation. The island in the middle of the river is located on a golden-domed temple. In front of the temple, monks can be seen giving lectures!

Yue Guanchao said in his heart, Da Yinzun really put Shangjing City underground!
