Stepping into the second stone door, the view suddenly opened up.
This is a palace hidden underground. Looking around, there are long-dried lanterns hanging on the stone walls, underground rivers running endlessly in artificial waterways, and endless stretches of exquisite murals as far as the eye can see.
However, the most shocking thing is a stone statue more than ten meters high in the center of the palace.
It was a Yinglong with wings spread out and about to fly. The dragon's head, wings and claws were exquisitely carved, and they were still lifelike even after hundreds of years.
Feon and Mu Sheikh slowly walked to Yinglong's feet, looked up and accidentally saw some words on the statue.
Fei Weng had good eyesight and read the content of the text: "The god Taicheng sent special benefits. When the heaven and earth changed, and the world was turned upside down, he sent Yinglong to enter the world and bring peace to the world. Regardless of Han and Tang Dynasties, Song and Yuan Dynasties, and Ming Dynasty
In the Qing Dynasty, the common people of later generations, and the dynasty of Dengran, began in ancient times, and the beginning of Wei Dynasty was in the past... When entering Yinglong Temple, you should be careful in your words and deeds, and you must not act arrogantly or think about stealing. If you violate it, your descendants will be harmed.
, suffer eternal suffering.”
After hearing this, Mu Sheikh tremblingly leaned down and knelt down towards Yinglong.
Zhou Jun looked at Yinglong and remained silent.
Huayue asked him softly: "Erlang, who is the person who wrote this text?"
Zhou Jun shook his head and said: "I don't know, it's probably the person who designed the mechanism."
Hua Yue looked around and asked: "I see the decorations and furnishings here look like a mausoleum, but there is no coffin?"
After hearing what Huayue said, Zhou Jun immediately reacted.
There are no traces of life here, and there are burial objects all around, and there are many mechanisms at the door, so this is probably someone's tomb.
The people who built these institutions and arranged the mausoleum here must have passed away, but when you look at the main hall, you can't see any coffins.
Zhou Jun thought carefully and made a hidden gesture towards Hua Yue.
When the latter saw it, he immediately understood that Zhou Jun meant that there should be a secret room here.
Taking advantage of Fei Weng and Mu Xieh's kneeling to worship Ying Long, Zhou Jun and Hua Yue began to look around.
After looking through the entire hall, the two of them found nothing strange.
Zhou Jun looked around and said to himself: "If I were the master here, where would I build the secret room?"
After finishing speaking, Zhou Jun cast his gaze towards the innermost part of the hall, a huge wall engraved with Yinglong relief.
This wall is about eight meters high and closely fits the surrounding mountains.
Zhou Jun walked to the wall and took a closer look. He found that the dragon's mouth of the Yinglong relief was located at a height of about six meters and was slightly more protruding than the rock mass next to it.
After receiving Zhou Jun's prompt, Huayue grabbed the rock wall and climbed up. After checking it again, he jumped down and said to Zhou Jun: "There is a strange-shaped hole in the dragon's mouth."
Zhou Jun: "Why is it weird? Draw it and show it to me."
Huayue squatted down and drew a cone-shaped groove on the ground with his fingers.
Zhou Jun looked left and right, always feeling something similar.
Suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred. Zhou Jun took off the Yinglong Cone he carried with him, handed it into Hua Yue's hand, and said, "Try this."
Huayue nodded, took the Yinglong Cone, and climbed up the rock wall again.
Soon after, she jumped down with excitement and said to Zhou Jun: "The shape is right, but half of it is missing."
Zhou Jun understood that behind this wall was probably the secret room where the coffin of the owner of the mausoleum was stored. The other half of the Yinglong Cone was currently in the hands of the leader of the Luo Tulong tribe.
He looked back at Fei Weng and Mu Sheikh who were still worshiping and praying at the Yinglong statue, and lowered his voice and said: "Don't make any noise, come back another day."
Hua Yue nodded understandingly. Taking Hua Yue back to the Ying Long statue, Zhou Jun said to Fei Weng and Mu Xieh: "You two, we must find a way to get out of here."
Fei Weng got up from the ground and said to Zhou Jun: "Don't worry, I have something to ask before I go out."
Zhou Jun made a gesture of invitation.
Fei Weng: "You and the person who designed the mechanism are the reincarnation of Yinglong, right?"
Hua Yue was a little nervous when she heard this and tugged on Zhou Jun's clothes.
Mu Sheikh also stood up at this time and said to Zhou Jun: "This is your first time coming to Yanqi, and it is also your first time coming to Dragon Cave. However, you only used one attempt to unlock the two mechanisms. This shows that you and
Just like the mechanism designer, even if he is not the reincarnation of Yinglong, he should still possess magical powers given by the gods."
Fei Weng: "The dragon statue has made it very clear that whenever there is an accident in the world, the gods will send Yinglong into the world to save all people from fire and water. In addition, he knows the affairs of the future generations and understands the text of the Mysterious Sutra. Your
The identity can only be explained in this way."
Zhou Jun had no intention of explaining to the two people in front of him what time travel was. Since the other party attributed the cause to gods and ghosts, it would be best to follow the trend.
Seeing Zhou Jun's acquiescence, Fei Weng rubbed his hands together, his eyes full of excitement and joy.
Compared with Fei Weng, Mu Sheikh was much calmer. He asked Zhou Jun: "Whether it is a prophecy or a dragon statue, it is said that there will be changes in the world in the future... Then when will the day of this change be?"
Zhou Jun said frankly: "Tianbao lasted for fourteen years."
Mu Sheikh was stunned and then asked: "What happened?"
Zhou Jun shook his head with a cryptic expression.
Mu Sheikh knew that this matter was of great importance, so he stopped asking further questions.
When Fei Weng heard Zhou Jun's report of the year, he became even more convinced and said: "Tianbao is fourteen years old, which is only six years away from this year."
Mu Sheikh also sighed: "Soon."...
Zhou Jun asked: "Although this is a mausoleum, a Buddhist temple has been built above it. Who is the owner of the tomb here?"
Fei Weng and Mu Sheikh looked at each other, and the former said: "This matter is a long story, so let me explain it slowly. More than five hundred years ago, although there were Zoroastrianism and Buddhism in Yanqi, successive kings
They respect the Dragon God, and even take the word dragon as their surname. Zoroastrianism and Buddhism are as powerful as the Dragon God religion. Since the latter is so powerful, the former two often join forces to fight against it."
"The Dragon Cave we are in was the auditorium where the Yanqi royal family paid homage to the Dragon God. It was originally magnificent and beautiful. Later, King Long Hui of Yanqi was assassinated and the new king who rebelled and came to power only respected Buddhism, ordered a ban on the people in the country.
Then worship the Dragon God."
"Less than a year after the new king took office, there were rumors in the palace that there was a sound of dragon roaring in the seven star dragon caves, which seemed to be the appearance of the dragon god. The new king was so frightened that he ordered the army to seal all the entrances to the dragon caves with earth and rocks.
.A Buddhist temple was built directly above the Dragon Cave, where sutras were chanted day and night to suppress the Dragon God underground."
When Zhou Jun heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "It turns out that this Buddhist temple was originally built to suppress the Dragon God in the cave... Since the new king Yanqi sealed the Dragon Cave, how did the passage we walked through be discovered?
What about?"
Fei Weng: "Many years ago, someone accidentally dug an entrance to the Dragon Cave, encountered a trap at the entrance, and failed to unlock it, so he died of the poisonous gas. This incident later spread,
Many people came here, trying to unlock the trap, but most of them were buried in the bone cave. The Buddhist temple was worried about hurting innocent people, so it blocked the entrance to the cave. And that cave became the Western Region
The people call it the ‘Devil’s Cave’.”
Zhou Jun was stunned, looked around, and asked: "Since the Dragon Cave back then was an auditorium for paying homage to the Dragon God, how could it become like this again?"
Fei Weng said helplessly: "This is my first time coming here, so I don't know how it could have turned out like this...but there is a rumor about the death of King Yanqi Longhui back then."
Zhou Jun: "What rumors?"
Fei Weng: "Long Hui died, and there was a rebellion in the palace. Someone took advantage of the chaos before the rebels invaded the inner garden, snatched the body of King Yanqi, and hid it in a secret place in Yanqi's country. There are
Rumor has it that the place where King Yanqi’s corpse is hidden may be in the Dragon Cave.”
After Zhou Jun listened, he began to think carefully.
The person who can design the two mechanisms of "Six Dynasties" and "Element" has a high probability of being the one who has traveled through this world.
If the body of King Yanqi is really in the secret room of the Dragon Cave, then the traveler should not be King Yanqi himself, but another person who is closely related to him.
Because King Yanqi Long would be assassinated, he had no time to design these mechanisms and complete these arrangements.
Therefore, the time traveler is most likely the person who snatched Longhui's corpse from the palace five hundred years ago.
