After the formation core of the secret palace was deciphered, the two old saints sketched out its operating rules, like a chakra.
On the scroll, there are complicated lines, representing the symbols of the secret palace of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, which have sunk into the earth's veins and have been running for thousands of years.
And echoing it is another force.
When the two move up and down, they are like guardian stars orbiting the earth.
The one underground is the Secret Palace of Yin and Shang.
In the sky is the even more mysterious Kunlun Palace.
Zhao Huaizhong has a very strong desire for knowledge. These two palaces are centered on the Middle-earth China and operate in harmony. What is the real purpose?
In order to attract the power of heaven and earth and bring him back to life?
The Secret Palace of Yin and Shang can be explained in this way, but what about the Kunlun Palace in the sky?
If it is for the same purpose, then Kunlun Palace is also a burial place?
Who was buried?
A series of questions flashed through my mind.
In addition, the Yin-Shang Secret Palace and the Kunlun Palace do not seem to be from the same period.
Kunlun Palace is earlier.
In this case, how do the two respond to each other?
Creation in different periods forms a cyclic structure and is interconnected. This makes no sense.
The picture scroll handed over by Zou Yan not only contained the operating rules of the Yin and Shang Secret Palaces, but the biggest discovery was that the location of the corresponding Kunlun Palace was deduced from the secret palaces.
The secret palace of Yin and Shang is underground, while the Kunlun Palace is deep in the void, drifting forever.
"The two of us judge that the operation of these two palaces is related to the rise and fall of the power of heaven and earth. This arrangement may involve ancient times or even some ancient forces.
It is their remaining means, and the specific purpose is not yet known." Xunzi said.
Some of the secrets of this world seem to be unfolding little by little...Zhao Huaizhong returned the secret map to Zou Yan: "It is rare for the two saints to come here, so they might as well stay longer this time."
"The two of us were planning to use your Qin Xianyang's Qi as an accumulation to make preparations for entering the Five Realms."
Zou Yan said: "The pattern system of the Yin-Shang Labyrinth has been deciphered. Now that we are exploring the Secret Palace, the danger has been minimized. The space hidden in the deepest part of the Death Palace will also be found.
Does King Qin have any plans to explore the secret palace and unlock its final secret?"
Zhao Huaizhong nodded: "The two old saints will stay in our Great Qin for a while. I will make some arrangements and send people into the secret palace."
Zou Yan smiled and said: "The two of us also plan to enter the secret palace to have a look."
It was getting late, and the bright moon was hanging high outside the window.
The three of them talked all night long. In the middle of the night, Zhao Huaizhong ordered the cook to bring three portions of food, but they still jumped over the wall.
The two old saints were stunned for a moment after eating.
"This is my first time eating something made with such exquisite craftsmanship. It is indeed delicious."
Xunzi said: "But this food is too luxurious, so don't eat too much."
One night will pass by, and the sky will be bright.
The energy in the three people's bodies was flowing, and they didn't feel tired at all.
When Zhao Huaizhong went to court, the two old saints asked him to borrow ancient scrolls and read them quietly.
Last time, Zhao Huaizhong obtained ancient books and Jia Shu from the Purple Copper Immortal Palace underground in Chaoge, which was almost the entire accumulation of the Yin and Shang dynasties.
In addition to the various original books of Da Qin, Zhao Huaizhong now has so many unique scriptures in his hands that the two old saints are also very coveted, including even the handwritten ancient scrolls of Lao Zhuang and others.
The Dao Jing and the De Jing written by Laozi himself, which are later known as the Tao Te Ching, total two volumes. Xunzi and Zou Yan circulated and borrowed them, and they were deeply moved after reading them.
Both of them had qi fluctuations, so they borrowed a quiet room from Zhao Huaizhong to warm up their internal strength.
In the afternoon, Zhao Huaizhong also participated in the practice, and the three of them interacted with each other and discussed the practice.
When the conversation got up, Zhao Huaizhong took out the Big Moon Ge, started the Nine Ge Soul Lifting Technique, and asked the two old saints for guidance.
After becoming a Saint in the Fifth Realm, Zhao Huaizhong took action personally, and every thrust he made was full of the connotation of the synergy between heaven and earth, and his skills were close to the Tao.
The muscles all over his body trembled and twisted into one, and the sense of power and movement brought about by his movements was shocking.
Three ginsengs were studied and practiced, and in the blink of an eye it was evening.
Zhao Huaizhong invited the two old saints and said, "Take these two saints to see a treasure of our Great Qin."
In the main casting pit in the center of the earth and fire cave, there is a bronze figure that is more perfect and complete than the last time I saw it, floating in the fire slurry.
At this moment, under the pull of the noose, the bronze man slowly emerged.
Xunzi and Zou Yan followed Zhao Huaizhong and stood above the casting pit: "It's the kind of bronze giant they saw when they went to Kunlun Mountain last time. This is a creation of heaven. Its power is still higher than that of saints like us. It can move mountains."
Reclamation.”
"Exactly."
Zhao Huaizhong said: "It is not easy to cast this thing. I have been under the Qin Dynasty for several years, but I still haven't seen its achievements.
Now that the two old saints are here, how about joining me to carve the internal array patterns on this object to help it quickly take shape?"
Zou Yan suddenly realized that he had been tricked and joked:
"I said that King Qin kindly invited us to stay in Xianyang for a while. It turned out that our stay was not in vain."
The two old saints readily agreed, and together with Zhao Huaizhong, they floated above the fire slurry.
The three people form a triangle, with Zhao Huaizhong as the main one, standing on the forehead of the bronze figure.
The two old saints are located on the left and right feet of the bronze figure.
The fire slurry was just a few feet below the three people's feet. In the raging heat wave, the three of them worked together.
But the three of them were seen attracting thunder from the sky at the same time, and streaks of lightning appeared above the casting pit, tearing the void apart.
In an instant, dense lightning rays crisscrossed, spread all over the bronze man's body, stretched into a network, formed and coiled, and finally formed thick or thin, countless veins similar to the human body, corresponding one by one according to the drawings for forging the bronze man, and imprinted on the bronze man's body.
.
The three of them were busy until dawn again, then they stopped and completed the preliminary sacrifice.
At the foundry pit, Lao Sikong, Ji Mo and other material builders were extremely excited.
The three saints joined forces to help the Bronze Man carve symbols and build the veins in the body much faster than them.
Of course, they also have professionalism that cannot be replaced by saints. Only by working together can the best results be achieved.
When the two old saints came out of the casting pit, they both felt a little tired:
"The inner veins of this copper figure are almost exactly the same as those of a human being.
A pool of vitality has also been built in his Dantian, and other structures also correspond to the human body, which is extremely exquisite."
"I sense that the bones, spine and other objects in the bronze man's body are not ordinary bronze, but stronger materials?"
"The material used to refine the flying sword is used as the internal skeleton of the bronze man." Old Sikong responded.
"Such a big bronze figure, the internal skeleton is made of materials used to make flying swords?"
The huge consumption made Zou Yan very surprised.
"How many bronze figures of this kind are we going to make in total?"
"Twelve is a set."
Zhao Huaizhong plans to become a collector of Gundam.
Zou Yan: "With your great Qin's national power, I'm afraid you can only make two or three bronze figures at most. The rest will be limited by the materials and will be difficult to make."
Zhao Huaizhong smiled and said nothing.
The materials needed for the twelve bronze figures are indeed not available yet.
But it is not a problem to create three or four bronze figures. Just by melting the copper fairy palace, more than one bronze figure can be created.
Click!
While several people were talking, something suddenly changed in the casting pit below.
Thunder and lightning appeared above the casting pit and began to strike at the bronze figures below.
Xunzi solemnly said: "This thing is forbidden by heaven. After we sacrifice it, we will stir up the thunder of heaven to enter the world and strike it. It seems that it is not something that should exist in the mortal world."
The three of them watched for a moment, and then they saw that the bronze man was scorched black under the rain of thunder.
However, there were symbols and incantations flashing on the surface of his body, and a green shimmer emitted. Soon after, the location where he was struck slowly returned to normal.
The thunder struck the bronze man, and it took about two quarters of an hour before it slowly weakened and dissipated.
In the next few days, Zhao Huaizhong, Xunzi, and Zou Yan joined forces many times to speed up the bronze man's sacrifice.

Chu Palace.
"Xiang Qing, how are the troops arranged?" Xiong Han asked Xiang Yan in front of him.
"It went very smoothly. One by one, one by one by darkness, our Chu army advanced together, and the one by one by the bright one attacked Qin's Yingchuan and Dongjun.
The other route went straight to Xianyang to intimidate the Qin people.
I am sure that the Qin army will suffer a disastrous defeat." Xiang Yan is tall and tall, with bright eyes.
Xiong Han nodded slowly: "I firmly believe in the ability of the general. This time, the general will be in charge and command our Chu army to attack Qin, so I have nothing to worry about."
Xiang Yan: "This afternoon, I will rush to the border to dispatch our Chu troops to attack Qin."
"Is there any movement between Yan and Qi?"
"The movements of the Qi people are unpredictable. But after Chu attacks Qin, the Yan people will definitely accompany us." Li Yuan on the other side said firmly.
"I will arrange for the Mo Mansion to fully cooperate with General Xiang and deliver battlefield news in a timely manner."
King Chu Xiong Han said: "General, go ahead and be careful in everything."

Yan land.
Jing Ke walked out of the seclusion room and ordered his attendants: "Go and tell the prince that I have perfected a sword that can kill no one and left seclusion."
"promise!"
In late October, the Chu army declared war on Qin with thunderous momentum and attacked Qin on two fronts!
Zhao Huaizhong became a "half" hands-off shopkeeper this time, acting as a tool man.
The battle order was signed and issued by his hand, but it was Meng Ao and Wei Liao who were actually responsible for commanding the Qin army.
To deal with the Chu army, he finally chose the second strategy proposed by Wei Liao.
Qin's three armies merged, and the eastern front faced the Chu army head-on.
On the western front, the Qin army attacked Chu with thunderous force.
On the other side, the Qin army carried the secret text by Xuanniao descended from the sky, entered the hinterland of the Chu people, and rampaged, just like when they attacked Zhao, relying on Xuanniao for supplies. Although they went deep alone, they relied on strong combat power and were invincible.
, go deep into the Chu realm.
As soon as the two sides started fighting, the Chu people were almost blindsided. Because Qin had obviously been prepared, almost as soon as the Chu people started to take action, Qin counterattacked with a stronger and faster speed.
However, Chu was also a powerful country, so he quickly realized the situation and responded tit-for-tat.
The two sides just started fighting and had to fight for a while.
Xianyang was calm and unaffected by the war situation.
When Zhao Huaizhong was not dealing with state affairs, he often discussed spiritual practice with the two old saints.
By the end of October, with the assistance of Zhao Huaizhong and the others, the forging progress of the bronze figure accelerated, and the carving of the incantation structure was on the verge of completion.
At the beginning of November, Lao Sikong sent someone over again to invite Zhao Huaizhong to Dihuo Cave.
"Is the Bronze Man finished?!"
Zhao Huaizhong set out from Xianyang Palace, stepped forward, shrunk the void, and arrived at the Earth Fire Cave in the blink of an eye.
"According to the forging pace, the production of the bronze man is almost completed, but I don't know what went wrong. After the activation spell of the bronze man was triggered, it did not move and stayed still." Old Sikong said.
"It's not surprising, it recognizes people, but you can't activate it." Zhao Huaizhong said calmly.
