Chapter 235: The Giant Cauldron Falls from the Sky
Leaving the city, there was deathly silence in the front palace hall of the prefect's palace.
The door of the main hall was closed, and the huge fire parasol tree moved slightly without the wind, as if it was trembling.
Under the sycamore tree, a mysterious man, wrapped in a layer of gray clouds that seemed to be there or not, was looking up at the tree. He was motionless. If the gray air around him hadn't rolled like an angry wave in the sea of clouds, he would have been there.
It makes people think that he is just a human-shaped stone.
And above his head, a huge round tripod with a height of more than ten feet was suspended in the void. The two ears of the tripod were very thick, and the body of the tripod was engraved with dense patterns. Just looking at it made people feel dizzy.
, his appearance and temperament are extremely extraordinary, but at this moment, he is supported up and down by a wisp of gray energy around the mysterious man, like a feather.
Luochuan didn't dare to move, but the moment he saw the scene in front of him, cold sweat soaked through his body.
He moved his eyes away from the mysterious man with difficulty, and landed on Luo Jiang and Shadow on the ground, but he couldn't tell whether they were alive or dead. He was frightened and angry, and wanted to ask, but found that his throat was shaking.
For a long while, I still couldn't utter a single word.
As time passed by, Luo Chuan's heart seemed to be suffering from the burning fire.
He could hear the whispers and footsteps of the palace attendants and guards changing shifts outside the hall, but they had no idea what horrific things were happening in the hall at this moment.
He didn't know how long it took, but it wasn't until he felt that his legs were so weak that he was almost unable to support himself, that the mysterious figure seemed to move!
Then, a wind came from the void.
The wind blew past Luo Chuan's ears and passed through his heart that had been throbbing for a long time.
For a moment, it was as if he had stepped into the Sleeping Dragon Valley for the first time, as if his soul had been cleansed by an invisible force.
He was no longer scared or angry, he just felt that his mind was weak, peaceful and distant. Then he opened his eyes that he had not known when he had closed them, only to find that the mysterious man was no longer in the hall!
He quickly walked over to Luo Jiang and Yingying and took a breath. He found that they were just asleep and breathing evenly, but they couldn't wake up no matter how hard they shook. He quickly turned back to the side hall and found Zhao Wuji who was also leaning on the chair.
He looks just like Dou Qiushi!
"when!!!"
Just when he was puzzled, a huge sound like a bell suddenly came from outside the hall. Accompanying the bell was a slight tremor of the earth!
The next moment, a shadow suddenly appeared beside Luo Chuan, looking at him with wide eyes, "How are you?!"
"I'm fine," Luo Chuan saw the expressions of Zhao Wuji and Dou Qiushi in front of him ranging from confusion to horror. He turned around and said again to Luo Jiang, who was running to the door of the side hall, "I'm fine," he looked outside the hall and listened in his ears.
There was vague confusion and he said, "Uncle Jiang, look what's going on outside."
Luo Jiang glanced at the shadow, nodded and flew away.
Shadow fell into an unprecedented confusion. Her eyes gradually lost focus as she stared at Luo Chuan. She, who had always seemed cold and focused, actually lost her mind!
"Who was there just now...?" Zhao Wuji frowned and looked at Luo Chuan and asked.
Luochuan said "Yeah" and nodded.
Luo Jiang returned from outside the palace and looked at Luochuan and said quickly, "A huge cauldron fell from the sky three feet outside the front palace door. I tried to move the cauldron but found that there was nothing I could do. The cauldron seemed to be connected to the earth's veins.
Locked to death in front of the palace!!"
"But a giant bronze tripod with three legs and two ears that is more than ten feet tall?" Luo Chuan asked.
"Exactly!" Luo Jiang said with wide eyes, "Zhenren Niu is already guarding in front of the main hall, and he can't move the giant cauldron at all."
"Of course I can't move," Luo Chuan told everyone what he had seen before. Only then did everyone realize that he had been lying flat like fish in front of the terrifying mysterious man for an unknown amount of time. "Let's go and see the cauldron."
Several people came out of the main hall together and saw that a large number of palace guards and palace attendants had gathered here. Many cavalrymen transferred from Lijun Qingqi by Luochuan even surrounded the palace gate.
"Old Gao, let everyone get out. Nothing big happened. What are you doing here all the time?!" Luo Chuan shouted, and Gao Shixian hurriedly drove away the palace guards and waiters.
.
Luo Chuan walked to the giant cauldron and asked Niu Deyidao, who had obviously been studying it for a long time, "Master Niu, what have you discovered?"
"Under this cauldron..." Niu Deyi frowned deeply and slowly took back the hand on the giant cauldron, "It seems that someone has set up a formation, or maybe there is something underneath the palace.
Formation, after being pulled and entangled by this giant cauldron, it seems to be integrated with it, incredible..."
"I should have seen this cauldron before," Luo Chuan reached out to touch the cauldron. His words made everyone look over in shock. He stared at the texture on the cauldron with a solemn expression and said slowly, "In the main hall of the imperial palace in Zhongjing City.
Before......!!"
"Jiuding?!" Luo Jiang and Dou Qiushi exclaimed in unison.
Zhao Wuji frowned deeply and looked at the giant cauldron without saying a word.
Niu Deyi once again put his hand on the giant cauldron, "It would make sense if it were Jiuding. This cauldron is naturally in line with the earth's veins. Since it took root just now, I really feel that there is a tiny but unbreakable energy in it.
Mysterious things, intangible, qualityless and elusive..."
"The Jiuding was cast by the First Emperor to gather the fortunes of the world. It has been standing in front of the main hall of the imperial palace in Zhongjing City since the founding of the country. This person dared to steal the Jiuding and then set it up in front of the main hall of the palace of the prefect of Li County. Isn't it right?
.....?!" Dou Qiushi, who has always been steady, frowned and his voice was low and trembling slightly.
"It is rumored that Jiuding is nine giant bronze tripods of similar size but different shapes. Does the prefect still remember how these tripods are arranged in front of the main hall of the imperial palace in the capital?" Zhao Wuji asked.
Luo Chuan shook his head, "As a proton, I was only invited to the palace twice in Zhongjing City. The first time I was too young and I could only remember some fragmentary things. The second time I entered the palace was also four or five years ago.
I only remember that nine big cauldrons were lined up in a row, and the mist was steaming on them. I don’t know if it was filled with smoke or something. In short, it was hazy and I couldn’t see it very clearly. I only remember roughly that it was five circles and four squares. The first few looked like
They are similar to the things in front of you, but in fact there may be some differences in texture and form."
Niu Deyi looked at Dou Qiushi and asked, "This gentleman is saying that someone broke into the palace before and set up the tripod here? Can you see his appearance?"
"No one has seen that person except the prefect," Dou Qiushi said.
Niu Deyi immediately looked at the shadow with a surprised face.
Shadow snorted and turned back to the main hall.
After the shadow walked away, Luo Chuan shook his head and said, "That man was covered in gray energy and you couldn't see any features on him. Just thinking about it...his strength should be extremely strong...!"
Niu Deyi frowned deeply and said with an extremely rare expression, "I'm afraid it would be extremely difficult for Senior Sister Qingyun to achieve this level. Then..." He looked at Luo Chuan and said, "I will send this matter to Wangchuan Secret Letter
It has been spread to several senior brothers and sisters."
Luo Chuan nodded, but his heart was extremely heavy, "The curtain of troubled times... has finally opened..."
