Volume 2: Yongzhou Mansion Chapter 59: Nine Dragons Pillar
Three days is either long or short. After everyone is ready, it's almost time to go find out.
The first ones to come to the dry well were Ma Benxuan and Ying Caidi, both of whom had always been more agile.
Lieutenant General Ma wore heavy armor, which made his huge body look even more majestic.
Major General Ying's clothing was very light. After all, the doctor only needed to release his true energy for treatment, and did not need to charge into battle.
The head of the Tang Sect, who had been out of contact for three days, was the third person to have his hair changed. When he saw the duo, he bowed to them.
"Hey, Lieutenant General Ma, Major General Ying, I haven't seen you for three days."
"Tang Clan Master hasn't seen anyone for three days. I'm afraid he seems to have gone somewhere to have a good time."
Although the head of the Tang Sect was radiant, there were still a few red lip marks on his neck and he was holding a pink handkerchief.
"That's not possible. I went to teach Tang Ke a lesson. Who knew that the oiran was too enthusiastic and insisted on inviting me to drink."
"Sa? Just eat wine for three days? Master Tang Sect really has a lot of wine! Hit the mark!"
"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously. You haven't met Mr. Han yet. He really can't pour a thousand cups."
Just as the two of them were chatting, Mo Tianxing and Tongjiang Dao also arrived here. The two of them seemed to be steady and light in their steps.
Liu Ruyu and the third prince followed the two of them and came hand in hand.
"We have all the people, who is that messy Lu Qin?"
The weather is a bit cold today, and the gloomy sky always gives people the feeling that it is about to snow.
Although the clothes Ying Caidi wore were not thin, she was still rubbing her hands and stamping her feet in the cold.
"Uncle Donkey is here!"
Lu Cheng's appearance was always unexpected and unique. Others came on foot, but he came riding a donkey.
And the clothes he wore were really cool...
"Slow down, slow down... Ouch, I'm freezing to death."
At this point, no one knew what kind of trouble Lu Cheng wanted to make.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, when you run out wearing a robe, do you really think that you are indestructible and immune to all poisons?
"Will this melon be frozen to death?"
Ying Caidi murmured in a low voice, and after being glanced at by Ma Benxuan, she put on an expression that said it was none of my business.
"Hahahaha, everyone is here, let's stop chatting and get down to business!"
Lu Cheng grabbed the donkey's ears and was the first to kick the donkey down the dry well.
On the way here carrying Lu Cheng just now, this damn donkey knocked over three stalls selling breakfast, and Lu Cheng lost several ingots of silver.
So, let this bastard go down and wait.
After kicking the donkey down, Lu Cheng also jumped directly.
The depth of this well must be at least a hundred meters, so there is no problem if Lu Cheng jumps as he pleases. After all, those who have understood the realm of space will not be thrown to death.
Mo Tianxing and Jiang Gandao easily went down the well with the help of mechanism skills and the floating formation.
The third prince carried Liu Ruyu and landed lightly. His lightness skills were also impressive.
Not to mention the head of the Tang Sect, with this height, he would be able to do it as easily as a dragonfly touches the water.
General Ma Benzuan was so powerful that he stepped right in. When he landed, the ground shook a little.
"You have such a big head, I told you not to be so arrogant, it's so shocking that my arms are numb!"
Ying Caidi jumped off Ma Benxuan's back and gently hit Ma Benxuan's arm with her fist.
"Throw it out, doesn't it seem like you're a little too strong, and the landing looks pretty good?"
"You are as happy as a big-headed doll, go to work!"
Ying Caidi ignored the boastful Ma Benxuan and walked to the front to take a look at the gate.
Mr. Jiang Gandao was thoughtful when he saw this gate.
"Did Mr. Jiang see any clues?"
Lu Cheng asked, Mr. Jiang nodded.
"This strange beast with the head of a dragon and the body of a tiger should be the seventh one among the nine sons of the dragon."
When he heard the word "狴犴", Lao Lu scratched his head. He had never heard of this before.
According to Mr. Jiang, this is a ridiculous story recorded in an ancient book.
It is said that hundreds of years ago, a divine dragon came to the world, captured nine kinds of animals, and bred them, giving birth to nine sons of the dragon.
Among the nine sons of the dragon, the one with the head of a dragon and the body of a tiger is Bian.
"What's the explanation for this Bi'an?"
"It's said that the supervisor is in charge of the prison. Look,
The pillars behind him don't look like prisons."
Lu Cheng nodded and took out the Black Flame Token from the small bag behind him. The Black Flame Token emitted a faint light when it approached the black door.
He slowly approached the gate and used his true energy to activate the Black Flame Token. A dazzling light appeared on the token and shone on the Bi'an statue above the gate.
A violent shaking came from the gate, the Bifan statue cracked from the middle, and the black gate opened directly.
Seeing the darkness ahead, Lieutenant General Ma Benxuan took out two torches from his bag.
He lit one and threw it towards the pitch-black sect ahead.
Where the firelight illuminated was a neat long corridor.
"There is no methane gas, so you can leave without worries."
As he said that, he lit another torch, and the burly Lieutenant General led the way ahead.
The group of people followed closely behind Lieutenant General Ma, and the dark corridor was several hundred meters away.
After walking for a stick of incense, we reached the end. At the end of the corridor, there was another black door.
There is no decoration on this door, just a few mysterious runes, which Lu Cheng can also understand.
The three runes on the top represent energy and spirit, and the three in the middle represent heaven, earth and people.
However, the three runes below do not represent the Four Symbols, Five Elements and Bagua, but three graphics.
It looks like it should be a phoenix, a dragon or someone else.
"I don't know what this rune means. This is the first time I've seen this division."
Even Mr. Jiang didn't quite understand now. These dragons and phoenixes were both legendary things.
Anyway, Lu Cheng has never seen a real dragon and phoenix.
Lu Cheng continued to activate the Black Flame Token. After opening the door this time, the road ahead became brighter.
It is still a long corridor, but it is not a straight corridor, but a spiral downward corridor.
The walls and ground were all flashing with fluorescent lights. Although the light was not very dazzling, the light allowed everyone to see the road clearly.
"Fuck, this road is not over yet! Could it be that we have to go down now?"
The donkey was a little impatient, but since the third prince was here, it could only go away peacefully.
The slope of the downward corridor is not very steep, but it still takes everyone enough time to burn two incense sticks.
After the corridor, there was another door. When they saw this door, everyone showed surprise.
"Fuck, this thing is so cool!"
Mr. Donkey always uses exaggerated words to express his feelings, but yes, the thing on this door is very cool.
On the dark iron door, millions of sparkling crystals were used to form a lifelike dragon!
The claws of the divine dragon, the demeanor of the divine dragon, and the body of the divine dragon.
They are all displayed extremely vividly, except that the dragon's eyes are pitch black.
"This is probably the most realistic portrait of a dragon I have ever seen."
"That's right, if you can't tell that it's made of spar and say it's real, I'm afraid..."
The third prince suddenly recalled a mural in the Cloud Palace. The flying dragon was very similar to that mural.
The most important thing is that the mural has no eyes.
"Open the door. After the triple doors, you should be able to see what we want to see."
Mr. Jiang said, Lu Cheng stepped forward and the black flame token opened the door again.
Just when the light of the Black Flame Token came into contact with the giant dragon, all the crystals on the dragon turned into flowing light!
The colorful stream of light condensed into a faucet key and was inserted into the keyhole.
Faced with the sudden change, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
The door was slowly opened, and a boiling sound came from behind the door.
"What's that sound?"
Liu Ruyu listened carefully and answered the third prince's question.
"The sound of lava."
Everyone gulped when they heard this.
Magma means they have gone very deep underground.
"Don't move forward rashly yet, I'll explore the way first."
Lu Cheng stopped Lieutenant General Ma who was about to move forward and took out a machine bird from the pocket carried by the donkey.
The appearance of the machine bird made Mo Tianxing's face look a little strange.
After all, it is the mechanism technique of his Mo family.
Moreover, even
It was he who had not developed the machine bird for so many years. He never expected that Mo Lin could have such a fantastic idea.
Lu Cheng injected his true energy into the machine bird and threw the machine bird forward.
Through the small lenses and the bird's eyes, he could clearly see everything in front of him.
Passing through this corridor is a road with only one wall, and on the other side is an abyss.
Under the abyss is what Liu Ruyu said is magma.
It seems that we have indeed gone very deep underground.
There are luminous stones on both sides of the road, which illuminate the road quite brightly. Through the bird's eyes, Lu Cheng discovered a very wonderful thing.
The road is not smooth and there are strange bumps in some places.
All in all, Lu Cheng found no danger and took the machine bird back.
"Okay, we can move forward."
After Ma Benxuan set foot on the road, he discovered something was wrong.
The feel of this road is different from that of stone. Although it is as hard as stone, it always has a strange feeling.
When people walked on this road, they also discovered strange things. Indeed, this road is a bit weird.
Lu Cheng thought about it and suddenly thought of something, so he squatted down and stabbed the road with a sharp knife.
After scraping off a layer of scabbed stones on the road, he poked a hard object. Lao Lu leaned down and looked at the hard object emphatically.
It was a scale, a huge scale.
"What could have such huge scales?"
Looking at the scales, which were as big as four or five palms, the third prince's voice trembled when he asked.
"I'm afraid, there are only dragons..."
Mr. Jiang's words made everyone feel a little creepy.
"What do you mean? We are stepping on the back of a dragon now? I don't believe it!"
Naturally, the Tang Sect Leader didn't quite believe this. Lu Cheng thought for a moment and took out the machine bird again.
The machine bird's sight widened until it could clearly see the entire road they were walking on.
This underground space is huge, and because there is magma underneath, it does not appear dark.
The machine bird flew around and punched, and Lu Cheng couldn't believe his eyes.
Even though I have traveled to many places, I still find it hard to believe what I see.
What he saw through the bird's eyes was nine coiled dragons surrounding a huge stone pillar!
The bodies of these nine giant dragons have been covered by limestone, and only the outline of the body can be roughly seen. However, just looking at the huge outline is frightening.
Nine giant dragons, each one hundreds of meters long.
The nine of them are walking on the road of the Nine Dragon Pillars.
…
Yang Ming, who was bored in the Lin Mansion, was tinkering with his Bodhi Wishful Stick. Today, his husband was once again frightened by him and he did not dare to go to class.
Didn't he just put a dead mouse under the gentleman's seat? The gentleman was so frightened that he screamed, jumped and made a fuss.
Those brats from the Lin family were not good birds either. Lin Xiao was the first one to sell him out when he asked what was going on.
I'm afraid that when Lao Lu comes back, he will be beaten again.
Since her husband was not in class, Hu Yue was free and started thinking about astrology with Mo Lin.
Lin Ruo didn't know where he went. He didn't see anyone early in the morning. He might have locked himself in the room and read a book.
"Yang Ming, what are you doing?"
"Oh? I'm looking at the pattern on my stick."
Xiaohua came over at some point and sat quietly next to Yang Ming.
"Is there anything magical about your stick?"
"Oh, he is my spiritual weapon. Hey, Lao Lu and Mr. Lu made it for me. How about it? It looks very handsome!"
"It is indeed very majestic. By the way, why is Envoy Lu missing?"
"I don't know. If there is any important action today, he will definitely not report to me wherever he goes."
Yang Ming put the stick aside and rolled his eyes.
These boring days are really boring, so why not go to Songhe Tower to learn how to cook from Mr. Zuo?
"Hey, Xiaohua, do you want to eat something delicious? I'll take you somewhere!"
"Think, let's go?"
"Let's go to Songhe Tower!"
