Chapter 215 The statue of Houtu and the trap snake!
The 160th floor of the mirage.
Unlike the lower floors, the 160th floor is relatively much wider, like a square with a radius of several hundred meters. There are not so many rooms on the side. There is only a huge bronze gate at the other end of the square.
Next to the gate lie two giant bronze tigers, with green faces and fangs, majestic and majestic. They lie motionless on the ground, as if they are just two sculptures.
Huang Biluo stopped dozens of meters away from the gate, but he knew that the matter was not that simple. The two big tigers were the mechanism beasts guarding the door. If there was no miscalculation, the two mechanism tigers probably had innate realms.
In any case, his physical strength is definitely much stronger than the machine wolf he encountered just now. If he wants to get the treasure, he must defeat these two beasts.
"Girl, the master will pester these two beasts later. Go in and get the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation Art' by yourself," Huang Biluo turned to Tang Yuexin and ordered.
"Ah! Master? Am I going in alone?" Tang Yue felt a little helpless as she thought about how terrifying the machine beast was, and that she was just a weak woman with no power to restrain a chicken.
"Don't worry, this is where the clearance prizes are stored. There will be no more machine beasts, and there will be no danger!" According to Huang Biluo's past experience, he naturally knows that there will be no danger in this room. The key is this room.
The two gatekeeper beasts outside.
Hearing what Huang Biluo said, Tang Yuexin felt relieved a little, "But Master, I can't open the big lock on the door."
Huang Biluo whispered: "The big lock on the door is the 'Innate Bagua Yin and Yang Lock' developed by the Gongshu family. If outsiders don't know the secret, it would be a delusion to open it. You only need to change the Qian, Kan, Gen on the Bagua diagram.
The eight directions of , Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, Dui are reversed to each other, then turn nine times to the left and five times to the right, and the yin and yang lock will be opened! Do you remember it? "
Tang Yuexin nodded and stayed where she was. Huang Biluo raised her legs and walked towards the two machine tigers.
"Roar..."
When he was still ten meters away from the two machine tigers, he roared twice. The machine tiger, which had been sleeping for thousands of years, finally woke up. He stood up and shook off the accumulated dust on his body.
, two pairs of cold eyes stared closely at the intruder in front of him who disturbed his peace.
Huang Biluo shot towards the two tigers at supersonic speed, and almost instantly flashed in front of the two tigers. He immediately shot out two palms, and slapped two bloody handprints towards the two tigers.
The two mechanical tigers, after thousands of years, are still stretching out their hands vigorously, as if their thousands of years of slumber have not affected them in the slightest. They lightly jumped to the side and easily avoided Huang Biluo's two bloody handprints. Bloody
The fingerprint hit the bronze door, leaving a two-inch deep dent.
The machine tiger stood ten meters away from Huang Biluo like a leisurely stroll, with a pair of cold eyes that seemed to choose someone to devour.
"Roar!" With a loud roar that shocked the eardrums, two green-faced and fanged machine tigers rushed toward Huang Biluo with ferocious faces like hungry tigers pouncing on food. The machine tigers were extremely fast and arrived in front of Huang Biluo almost instantly.
He opened his sharp metal fangs and bit Huang Biluo's neck.
Huang Biluo was not slow either. He swung out his fists and punched the two machine tigers on their temples. Then he took advantage of the momentum and swept towards the other side of the square, trying to lure the two machine tigers away from the gate.
open.
The two trap tigers chased after Huang Biluo as if they had some sworn hatred. Seeing that the trap tigers had indeed fallen into the trap, Huang Biluo dodged and yelled at Tang Yuexin, who was standing stupidly beside him: "Little girl,
Hurry up and unlock it!"
Tang Yuexin reacted and hurriedly ran towards the door.
"Roar!" "Roar!" Two angry roars, the machine tiger discovered Tang Yuexin approaching the gate. The duty given to them by the Gongshu family is to guard the gate, how could they allow Tang Yuexin to approach. Then the two tigers roared
Rushing towards Tang Yuexin, she reached five meters in front of Tang Yuexin with just one leap. Tang Yuexin had never seen such a posture before, and she was immediately frightened by these two mighty machine tigers.
However, the two tigers did not stop at all because of Tang Yuexin's fear. Each of them stretched out a sharp claw and struck at Tang Yuexin. The sharp claws cut through the air and made a sharp and harsh sound. The fierce claw wind made Tang Yuexin forget to dodge.
Can't dodge either.
"How dare you, evil beast!"
Huang Biluo shouted loudly, and his body flashed in front of Tang Yuexin as if teleporting. His palms were instantly shot out with anger, and they violently collided with Erhu's sharp claws.
"Bang" "Bang"
With two loud noises, the two mechanism tigers immediately flew out and hit the ground dozens of meters away.
Together they may have a force of one hundred thousand kilograms. With Huang Biluo's early innate physical strength and the assistance of his innate true energy, he could barely suppress these two trap tigers. After a collision, Huang Biluo couldn't help but fly.
He retreated and almost bumped into Tang Yuexin behind him.
"Girl, are you okay?" Huang Biluo stared cautiously at the two machine tigers in front of him who were still energetic and full of fighting spirit. The violent collision that weighed 100,000 kilograms just now made him feel violent shocks in his internal organs, and he had some thoughts.
The urge to vomit blood.
"Master, I'm fine!" Tang Yuexin's voice sounded a little weak.
Huang Biluo glanced sideways after hearing this, and suddenly felt anxious. The snow-white clothes on Tang Yuexin's right hand had been dyed red at some point, and blood was dripping on the ground along her fingers.
"what happened?"
"I was injured by the claws of the machine tiger just now!" Tang Yuexin's face was a little pale. It could be seen that she was in pain, but she still gritted her teeth and held on without making a sound. "Don't worry, Master, it's just a minor injury.
, I can still do it!”
Huang Biluo shook her head, stretched out her bloody hand and touched Tang Yuexin's arm, and the gurgling blood slowly stopped.
The machine tiger would not give the two of them time to chat. He shook his head and roared towards Huang Biluo again.
"Follow the plan!" Huang Biluo ordered in a deep voice, then his cloak fluttered and he rushed towards the two machine tigers, fighting together with the two tigers.
Tang Yuexin gritted her teeth and covered her injured right hand and walked to the gate. According to Huang Biluo's instructions, she reversed the eight directions on the "Innate Bagua Yin and Yang Lock", turned it forward nine times and then reversed it five times. Then the bronze door issued a signal.
With a clicking sound, the mechanism opened, and with a loud rumble, the door closed to both sides.
Tang Yuexin looked back at Huang Biluo, who was fighting two machine tigers, "Master, the door is open!"
"Don't worry about me. Master, hold these two beasts down. Go in by yourself, take the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation' and come out quickly!" Huang Biluo shouted to Tang Yuexin while fighting the machine tiger.
Tang Yuexin looked at the deep and terrifying room, hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to walk in.
"Ta, ta, ta..."
As if a voice-activated switch was triggered, after a series of crisp sounds, the room immediately became brighter, with dozens of oil lamps illuminating the room as bright as day.
The room is hundreds of meters in diameter and ten feet high. The floor paved with blue bricks has been spotless after thousands of years. There is a long red carpet in the middle of the room, which leads directly from near the door to a high platform opposite. On both sides of the red carpet stand tall
There are four huge jade pillars.
Tang Yuexin looked up at the high platform and was shocked. A beautiful woman in white clothes stood quietly on the high platform, holding a satin handkerchief in her left hand and holding a hairpin on her head with her thumb and index finger on her right hand. At this time,
He was looking at her with a smile.
"Who are you?" Tang Yuexin's voice was trembling. When she came in, she didn't expect that there would be anyone here.
Quietly, without any reply, the woman in white still looked at her with a smile. For some reason, Tang Yuexin felt a trace of love from the smile of the woman in white on the high platform, as if she was facing her own mother.
Tang Yuexin was surprised for a moment, put down her guard, and slowly stepped on the carpet towards the high platform, climbing up the stairs to the high platform.
After going up to the high platform, Tang Yuexin burst out laughing. Who was this person? It was clearly a statue. He was far away just now, but he couldn't see it clearly. Now when he got closer, he saw that the statue was always looking forward without any change.
, but the feet are integrated with the ground, not a statue.
Beautiful and indifferent, dignified and elegant, dressed in plain clothes and white skirt, she is as lifelike as a living person. There is a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, giving people a feeling of spring breeze. Her watery eyes are full of love for all things in the world. Tang Yuexin
I felt peaceful in my heart, as if I had returned to my mother's arms.
"The throne of Empress Tu, the Witch God of Shu Mountain!"
There was a small tablet erected in front of the statue. Tang Yuexin read out the words written on the tablet, "It turns out to be the statue of Empress Houtu."
Tang Yuexin suddenly realized that in Chinese myths and legends, Empress Houtu was a female witch god born after the great god Pangu opened the sky. She controlled yin and yang, nurtured all things, and was called the "Mother of the Earth", dominating the mountains and rivers of the earth.
The land of Bashu was very barren in ancient times, and stories of gods and ghosts were widely spread. The Witch God Empress Tu Niangniang was one of the gods believed in by the Yin and Yang family at that time.
Empress Houtu had great love in her heart and sympathized with the sufferings of the common people. After her death, her soul wandered and had no support, and she could only fly away. Therefore, Empress Houtu sacrificed her life to become a Taoist, and incarnated into the six realms of reincarnation, so that the souls of all living beings could have a place of refuge.
Although she didn't know if there really was such a person as Queen Tu in this world, Tang Yuexin still had great respect for this great woman with infinite love.
He searched carefully around and found that except for the statue of Houtu God on the high platform, there was no trace of the "Six Paths of Reincarnation" that Huang Biluo said. Tang Yuexin was like an ant on a hot pot, running around anxiously, thinking about what if he
If he could not find the "Six Paths of Reincarnation", he would not be able to practice magical skills to defeat Huang Biluo and avenge Chen Jinyuan. Tang Yue felt sad for a moment and knelt down in front of the statue with a thud.
"Disciple Tang Yuexin, pay your respects to Empress Houtu!" Tang Yuexin clasped her palms together and looked at the statue of Houtu devoutly, with tears streaming down her face.
My eldest brother died because of me. If I can't avenge eldest brother Chen, Yue Xin won't be able to see him even after being thrown into hell. Empress Houtu will have mercy on you!"
Tang Yuexin rushed to seek medical treatment. He kowtowed in front of the statue. His forehead was bruised and red until it started to bleed. Tang Yuexin seemed to be unaware of the pain. He kowtowed mechanically and suddenly felt as if something was covering him.
Tang Yue was confused and took the thing covering his head in front of his eyes.
It was a handkerchief, the handkerchief in the hand of Empress Houtu. If you look closely, you can see that there are words written on it.
"The Six Paths of Reincarnation, which can reverse life and death, and turn yin and yang, should not be practiced by those who have great merits and great aspirations. If you practice it forcefully, you will abandon the path and become a demon, causing great harm to the common people..."
"The Six Paths of Reincarnation... This is the Six Paths of Reincarnation!" Tang Yuexin cried with joy, her hands holding the handkerchief were shaking, and the blood on her forehead dazzled her eyes, mixed with tears and flowing down.
"Thank you, Empress Houtu, for your mercy! Thank you Empress Houtu for your mercy!" Tang Yuexin kowtowed a few times in front of the statue of Houtu again. When she raised her head, she saw a scene that almost collapsed her.
The statue of Houtu had lowered its head at some point, and its eyes that were originally staring ahead were now looking at Tang Yuexin who was kneeling on the ground.
"Could it be that the statue is alive?" Tang Yuexin suddenly thought. Such an idea came to mind, but after thinking about it more deeply, it was impossible. Although the statue was lifelike, it must be a dead thing. How could it be alive? It must be him.
When I kowtowed just now, something happened that caused the statue to move.
After thinking about this, Tang Yuexin was not afraid in her heart. She quietly watched what the statue was going to do. In Tang Yuexin's puzzled eyes, there was a soft clicking sound, and she saw the statue of the Houtu God caressing the hairpin.
He took off the simple hairpin from his head and threw it onto the stage behind Tang Yuexin.
"Click, click, click..." A series of golden and wooden sounds sounded, and the hairpin was floating in the air, just like Transformers, constantly changing its shape, popping out parts one by one and automatically assembling them at super fast speeds.
Finally, under Tang Yuexin's surprised gaze, it transformed into a giant blue mechanism snake several feet long with two wings on its back.
The giant snake has a ferocious face. Its head is like a dragon's head, but it has no horns. In the center of its forehead is written a big character "螣". Except for its white belly, its whole body is green. It has a streamlined and slender body and wide wings.
The strong wind picked up, and the whole snake body was suspended in the air, circling around the room and back, staring at Tang Yuexin with its cold eyes.
Tang Yuexin was horrified and wanted to run, but she couldn't take a step no matter what. A chill ran down her spine. Just when Tang Yuexin thought that the giant snake was trying to kill her, she saw the statue of the Earth God behind her moving.
The two feet that were firmly joined together were lifted up at some point and walked towards the giant mechanism snake.
When the giant snake saw the statue of Houtu, it immediately became much better and lowered its huge snake head like a TV set. The statue of Houtu walked in front of the giant snake, stretched out its jade fingers, and placed the "螞" on the forehead of the giant snake.
"A light touch on the word.
"Ka ka ka ka..." There was another rapid sound, and the parts on the giant mechanism snake were quickly flipped and recycled. In an instant, it turned into a small wooden hairpin again, and fell into the hand of the Houtu statue.
The statue of Houtu walked back to the original place holding the wooden hairpin, reached forward with his hand, and spread the hairpin in front of Tang Yuexin.
Tang Yuexin had already opened her mouth. Looking at the hairpin in the hand of the statue, she hesitated whether she should reach out and take it. The scene just now completely overturned her understanding. A small hairpin could turn into such a huge snake.
, it’s incredible to think about it.
In the end, Tang Yuexin finally mustered up the courage and reached out to take the ancient hairpin from the hand of the Houtu statue. She looked up and saw that the statue had returned to its original place and restored its original shape. However, she did not notice that her hands were stained with her own blood.
The hairpin she held on her hand gave off a faint light.
He lowered his head and took a closer look at the hairpin in his hand. It was very finely carved. There was a small snake coiled around the hairpin, which was almost exactly the same as the huge snake that Tang Yuexin saw just now. The two eyes seemed to be able to move. Tang Yuexin pressed the button curiously.
Press the snake's eyes.
There was another roaring sound, and the hairpin turned into the huge machine snake again. The snake flapped its wings, suspended in the air, and spit out the core from its mouth. The eyes it looked at Tang Yuexin were not as cold as before.
, Tang Yue was secretly frightened. After looking at it carefully, a name came to mind.
"Teng snake!"
Tan snakes are also dragons that can create clouds and mists and swim in them. According to the legend, Queen Houtu's mount is a fairy beast that can soar into the clouds and ride on the mist. It has two wings on its back and is as fast as lightning. However, it is very similar to the machine beast in front of you. It must be
It was built by the Gongshu family during the Warring States Period for the Yin Yang family based on the image of the snake in mythology.
For some reason, Tang Yuexin felt that she could control this huge snake. She couldn't figure out why she felt this way. With a thought, she let the snake come closer to her. The snake really seemed to accept it.
As if it had received the order, it flapped its wings on its back and flew towards Tang Yuexin, stopping in front of Tang Yuexin. However, Tang Yuexin could clearly feel that it had no malice. On the contrary, it had a hint of obedience. Tang Yuexin stretched out her jade finger,
Imitate the movements of the Houtu statue just now and press on the word "螣" on the snake's head.
Immediately, there was a sound of ping -pong pong's mechanical sound. The components on the snake of the organs quickly separated and assembled, narrowed into a bun, and fell into Tang Yuexin's hands.
I don't know what method the Gongshu family used. Such a big thing was reduced to the size of a hairpin, and the weight was only slightly heavier than an ordinary hairpin. Such a sophisticated mechanism really opened Tang Yuexin's eyes.
This is a treasure. Tang Yuexin inserted the hairpin into her hair very carefully, turned to the statue of Houtu, kowtowed a few times, "Thank you so much for Queen Houtu's love and gift of skills and treasures! This disciple is frightened and must take good care of it."
Use it!" After saying this, he bowed devoutly three times, put the "Six Paths of Reincarnation Jue" in his arms, turned around and walked out the door.
The battle outside was still going on. Tang Yuexin walked to the door and said, "Master, we got the thing!"
