The roulette wheel is composed of two huge black stones, on which sits a stone beast with a dragon head, a tiger body, bird wings, and turtle feet, which is more than ten feet tall. It holds its head high, with a fierce and majestic face.
Jiu Ying and others each occupied one side and were pushing the roulette to rotate, but judging from the speed of rotation, they did not seem to be going smoothly.
Whether it is the stone beast, the roulette wheel, or the floor of the cave, they are all covered with a thin layer of light, which slowly distorts as the roulette wheel is pushed.
Liu Qinghuan felt a few eyes falling on him. Opposite him, Gui Che had a very cold look on his face. He only glanced at him and turned his head, surprisingly making no objection.
Next to him is an old man with a very burly figure. The turtle shell on his back is hard to ignore. He should be the ancient ancestral dragon turtle Yaoming who has never been seen before.
The golden-winged roc strode towards the roulette wheel, calling to Miyun: "Come here and help."
"Okay." Mi Yun walked over and said to Liu Qinghuan: "Stand aside and wait for a while..."
"Ask him to come and help!" Jiuying suddenly said: "He dares to compete with me. Isn't he quite capable? If you want to enter the Four Symbols Palace, you have to help!"
Liu Qinghuan was afraid that Mi Yun would argue with him again, so he quickly whispered: "Senior, let me try."
Miyun then said: "The barrier of the Four Symbols Palace is very strong, but there is only a gap here. We have to push the wheel away. You can follow us and use your strength later."
While the two were talking, they walked to the roulette wheel. Liu Qinghuan raised his hand and pressed it against the stone surface, and immediately felt a strong force trying to push him away.
Fortunately, he had already taken precautions. His waist and legs were slightly bent to stabilize his body. His hands were separated by a layer of light and he grasped the protruding stone knob on the roulette wheel.
"Be prepared, use force!"
Following the words of the golden-winged roc, a dazzling golden light erupted from his palms, and he struggled to push the roulette wheel.
At the same time, several other people also exerted their strength. From the corner of Liu Qinghuan's eyes, he could see Gui Che and Jiu Ying on the opposite side. The veins on the necks of those two people burst out high, and their faces slowly grew with the exertion of strength.
blush.
He secretly marveled at the fact that this stone wheel was placed here, and it would take several demons at the demon saint level to push it, and he didn't know what the purpose was.
Perhaps this is a test of strength. The demon clan has highly respected strength since ancient times. For them, physical strength is far more important than magical power.
The sound of the rolling gears echoed in the heart of the mountain, as if awakening the long-dormant gods, and vague murmurs came from nowhere.
Liu Qinghuan paused slightly, straining to hear clearly, when the stone beast squatting on the stone wheel suddenly trembled and seemed to stand up.
He was startled when he heard Jiuying shout loudly: "Quick, don't stop!"
Finally, with a click, the stone wheel moved to the left, revealing a deep black hole.
A moist and depressing wind blew from below, and the underground palace that had been closed for hundreds of thousands of years was opened again today. Before Liu Qinghuan could react, Jiuying and others had already flashed and disappeared into the entrance of the cave.
As soon as they withdrew their strength, the stone wheel slowly moved back, and the entrance of the cave shrank.
"Let's go!" Mi Yun shouted, and Liu Qinghuan quickly followed. He looked up before entering the cave entrance, and saw that the stone beast with a dragon head, a tiger body, bird wings, and turtle feet had indeed stood up and was slowly lowering its head.
"Click!" The hole was completely closed, blocking the sight of its falling.
The surroundings fell into pure darkness, Liu Qinghuan's eyes bloomed with a faint green light, and he saw that Miyun was not far away, and the other people were only left with their backs quickly disappearing away.
This is a long corridor that extends diagonally up and down. It is unexpectedly wide and eight horses can easily pass through it.
The ground and walls have obviously been carefully polished and smoothed, and are covered with dense carvings. There is a stone sculpture of a demonic beast standing at a distance on the left and right sides of the corridor. It is as tall as a person, and there are tigers, leopards, bears and wolves, all showing respect.
"This is..." Liu Qinghuan was surprised: "Underground Palace Shinto?"
"Yes, this should be the underground palace of the Four Elephants Shrine." Miyun walked to one side of the wall and looked at the wall sculptures on it: "Tsk, it's quite decent!"
Liu Qinghuan glanced upward: "They are far away, shouldn't we chase them?"
"What are you chasing? It's best if they leave. Just leave separately." Miyun waved and said, "They are looking for theirs, we are looking for ours."
Therefore, Liu Qinghuan was not anxious anymore. Compared with Miyun, he did not want to be with those demon saints, lest they have murderous intentions towards him again.
Miyun finally had enough of looking at the wall sculptures, and walked up. After walking a few steps, he stopped, pointed to the bottom of the Shinto and said: "That side should lead to the dungeon, and from the dungeon you can go to the second floor of the temple.
"
Liu Qinghuan said in surprise: "Is this the way to go down to the second floor of the temple?"
"yes."
"But... this entrance is so difficult to enter. It took you and several demon saints to work together to open it. Can other demon clans get in?"
"They can't get in because they don't have the ability. How can the true essence be so good!" Mi Yun walked forward nonchalantly and said: "However, those demon clans have the correct way to open the barrier here, and they won't be like us.
so tough."
"Can they open the barrier here?" Liu Qinghuan was even more surprised: "Then why don't Jiuying and the others use it?"
"You don't understand this." Mi Yun laughed and said: "Actually, the four demon saints now are not from the local big clans of Shenxu Continent. They are more like casual cultivators. And those who have opened the barrier
The methods are all in the hands of those powerful clans, and it is impossible to take them out."
"So that's it." Liu Qinghuan said thoughtfully: "Nine Infants, Ghost Cars, and Golden-winged Dapeng are all strange beasts. Only one will appear in the world at a time. If they don't die, there won't be another one born.
And that Ancestral Dragon Turtle..."
"It just lives a long time and has a very lonely temperament." Miyun said: "I heard that every time the primitive soup pool is opened, the demon clan will strengthen their own sacrificial grounds and the boundaries of the shrine. This time it should be too long.
, the barrier will be loosened to this point, allowing us to get in."
In other words, the various demon clans in the Shenxu Continent actually hold a key to entering the original soup pool. Normally, if you want to enter the lowest level of the temple, you must pass through them.
Therefore, the Four Demon Saints are still on the first floor, probably waiting for the other demon clans, but they discovered the loosening of the barrier and came in first.
"Okay, those guys should be far away, let's leave quickly, otherwise we will really let them get the good things!" Miyun said.
The two of them stopped talking and both let go of their speed and rushed up the sacred road. For other side roads that occasionally appeared, they only used their spiritual consciousness to briefly scan them and did not go to explore them.
There was a faint light ahead, and at the end of the Shinto, there was a tall stone hall connected to it. After exiting, it was already halfway up the sacred mountain.
The mountain is taller than when viewed from outside the barrier. Looking up, one can see lush vegetation and shrouded clouds and mist.
"The Ancestral Dragon Turtle should have gone to the Xuanwu Palace, the Jiuying Association should have gone to the Qinglong Palace, and the Ghost Che and the Golden Winged Dapeng must be in the Suzaku Palace." Miyun said quickly: "So if you want to avoid them, you might go to the White Tiger Palace.
."
Liu Qinghuan asked: "What about you, senior?"
Mi Yun blinked: "Of course I will rush to help the Golden-winged Dapeng, but you have to be careful!"
