The fire monkey was caught off guard and was hit by the lightning in my palm, and turned into smoke amidst the thunder.
The next few levels passed without any danger, and the four of us finally reached the seventh floor of the Evil Tower three days later.
I don’t know how deep the ground is on the seventh floor. Even Caihua couldn’t bear the cold Yin Qi, not to mention Brother Baozi and I, our teeth were chattering from the cold.
The seventh floor is a huge palace. The two black iron gates of the palace are carved with dragon bodies, covered with dense runes, and wrapped with iron ropes. I don’t know what these iron gates and iron ropes are made of. They have been made for hundreds of years.
Yes, there is no rust stain at all.
The writing on the left side of the black iron gate reads: Door of Death, forbidden to enter! The writing on the right side: Imperial seal, suppression of evil! There is an imperial list in the center. The words on the imperial list can no longer be seen clearly, but Zhu Yuanzhang's seal is indeed clearly visible.
There is another seal that I have never seen before.
Above the iron gate is a huge Yin and Yang Bagua. The Bagua moves slowly and is lifeless, as if the spiritual energy has dried up.
The white yin energy seeped out from the gap in the iron door, and it was chilling. Even after looking at it for a few times, I felt sick and dizzy, which showed how strong the evil energy was.
On the lower threshold is a swimming dragon trough. Brother Baozi and Caihua frowned and looked at the stone gate silently. They no longer had the confidence to pass through the barrier and break the formation.
What's wrong with Caihua? I've rarely seen him so silent and uncomfortable, so I couldn't help but ask.
Caihua didn't say anything. She squatted down and touched the dragon trough below with her fingers. Her fingers were scarlet and sticky, covered in blood.
"The Double Dragon Formation, Bagua, and talismans can no longer suppress the evil energy. The dragon energy is exhausted and the blood is red!" Caihua frowned.
Baozi said: "Yes, the two dragons bleed and shed tears. Look at the seals. They are Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon seal and Liu Bowen's Tianji seal. The dragon tail behind is the Yongle seal added by Zhu Di later. In the Ming Dynasty, the dragon's energy began to weaken after Wanli.
After his death, it was even more diminished, and even Zhu Yuanzhang probably didn’t expect that the dragon energy that dominates the world of his Zhu family would not be able to suppress the evil things inside."
"It's strange. It's not surprising that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to seal Liu Ji's Qinglong Qi, but why did Liu Bowen want to seal himself?" I touched the bridge of my nose and frowned in confusion.
"Who knows, but one thing is undoubted. Liu Bowen's tomb is full of evil. Brother Qin, should we advance or retreat?" Caihua said solemnly.
"Retreat?" I looked at Caihua in surprise. In my memory, it seemed that this word had never been in his dictionary.
"I always have a bad feeling that the evil thing inside is still alive, and it is definitely a hundred times more powerful than Zhang Xianzhong." Caihua said cautiously, avoiding my gaze.
"Brother Caihua is right. If the evil thing inside is really Liu Bowen, and he has the Qianlong Ruler in his hand, we will be seeking death if we go in!" Baozi nodded in agreement.
To rob a tomb is to rob a tomb. You know that there are perverted and evil things inside that you cannot mess with, but you are an idiot to die if you go there.
I lowered my head and lit a cigarette and looked at the ferocious black iron gate silently. My heart was extremely complicated. I was thinking about the bloody and tearful dragon in the Bagua illusion. Since it showed me the entrance, it naturally wanted me to come here.
, but why did Liu Bowen leave me a letter saying "If you enter, there will be chaos" and asked me to leave.
Perhaps this is related to a grudge between the Zhu family and the Liu family. Should I follow the instructions of Shenlong or the instructions of the previous generation, Lord Yan?
My head was numb with thoughts, and the three of them were looking at me. I knew they were all waiting for the final decision. If I decided to go in, they would not back down, even if it meant losing their lives.
"Caihua, do you have any coins?" I put out the cigarette butt, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said calmly. Caihua took out a coin from his pocket and said, "Here!"
"The national emblem comes in, but the Chinese characters go back! Do you have any objections?" I asked. "No, no matter whether we advance or retreat, we are only waiting for your word." Baozi said.
"Okay!" I flicked my fingers, and the coin flew high. When it fell, I grabbed it, closed my eyes and thought to myself: "Shenlong, Lord Yan, which one of you is the real oracle?"
Personally, I really want to go in because I need to get the Qianlong Ruler, but I don't want my brothers to die in vain.
"Everything depends on God's will!" I opened my eyes with a slight smile and slowly opened my palms.
Brother Caihua and Baozi's eyes widened, and they followed the movement of my palm. When the solemn national emblem of China appeared in front of everyone's eyes, everyone's eyes froze.
"Come in, brothers!" I flicked my finger, and the coin fell into the blood slot, and I shrugged helplessly.
"Hey!" Caihua breathed a long sigh of relief, stroking his beard and said: "Since God's will is like this, let's go in. Life or death depends on whether our brothers are tough or not."
"Well, Brother Caihua is right. Since you are here and you will lose money if you leave, let's go to the grave." Brother Dumpling looked at each other and said with a wry smile.
Their brothers are undoubtedly the most entangled. If they miss this rare coffin that is rare in a thousand years, they may regret it for the rest of their lives and feel uncertain in their hearts. Now that there is a result, they simply give it up.
"Go to the grave!" I shouted in a long tone, Caihua tore up the imperial list, and the four of them slowly pushed open the door.
"Roar!" As the door opened, there were two faint dragon roars, and the two soaring dragons and runes on the black iron door melted instantly and slowly disappeared into nothingness.
I tightened my clothes and walked slowly into the hall in the white mist. As I walked further into the hall, the light gradually became brighter.
The walls of the main hall are inlaid with luminous pearls. Under the light of the luminous pearls, I can clearly see that this is a furnishing similar to the one when the emperor ascended the palace. The railings and screens are all carved with dragons, but strangely, all the
The dragons were all chained up.
In the center is a dragon throne made of gold, and in front of the hall are sculptures of seven guards, erected according to the positions of the Big Dipper.
The walls of the main hall are all covered with dragon shapes hung by iron ropes. Densely packed talisman papers are stuck to the iron ropes and swaying in the cold wind. The blood-red cinnabar and the dark iron ropes form a strong contrast, which is indescribably weird.
Zhengyi, Maoshan, Esoteric Sect, Tianlong Temple, Tianji Sect... It's really complete. Brother Qin, have you seen it? This is a normal heavenly master's talisman. The seal of Laojun on it is the Zhengyi sect's suppressing religion.
Bao, Caihua pointed at the talismans, rubbed her hands and explained.
"Naihua, don't you think this dragon is weird?" I pointed to the dragon-shaped patterns trapped by the iron ropes. "It's a bit abnormal. Normal dragons in the Ming Dynasty had four claws, but this dragon only has two legs.
It’s different from Lao Zhu’s family.” Caihua frowned.
"The two-clawed dragon is an anti-dragon, an anti-dragon born against heaven. It seems that the owner of the tomb wants to defy heaven and become emperor. No wonder Lao Zhu got angry. The Heavenly Master, the headmaster of Maoshan, and the eminent monks of Tianlong Temple were all invited.
I'm afraid this will turn into a bad situation." Baozi came over and explained.
This kid was born into a wealthy family and is very proficient in all kinds of history and culture.
"Brother, Cauliflower, come here quickly, I found it! I found it!" Baozi ran over from the back hall and shouted happily.
When I walked into the apse, I was shocked. The apse was not that big. There were countless four-legged dragons carved on the walls. On the top of the wall was a huge Buddha name with ten thousand characters. Under the Buddha name was a huge black dragon coffin.
The dragon coffin was dripping with scarlet blood, and the entire apse was filled with blood and the stench was unpleasant.
But I saw nine real dragon iron ropes coiled on the dragon coffin, more than three inches above the ground. Next to it were seven or forty-nine ever-burning lamps, arranged in the shape of the Eight Diagrams.
There are two golden sculptures standing on the left and right of the coffin. The one on the left has a handsome face, intelligent eyebrows, and holds a handsome flag. The one on the right has a long beard, a ferocious face, and holds a precious carved bow. However, the armor worn by the two men is not the same.
From the looks of it, they should all be military generals.
I stepped over the flowing blood and got close to Jin to take a look. The handsome flag was engraved with the character "Xu", "This is Xu Da, Duke of Wei, and Chang Yuchun, Duke of E over there. These two are Zhu Yuanzhang's left hands."
On the right arm, Xu Da is the commander and Chang Yuchun is the vanguard. One is good at planning and the other is good at fighting. The two are invincible. They are the heroes who founded the country and are also the door gods in some places among the people!" Caihua said.
What surprised me the most was the person sitting cross-legged on the dragon coffin. Yes, it was not a sculpture, but a real person. I saw him wearing a hairpin in his head, wearing a Bagua Tianji Taoist robe, holding a feather fan in his left hand and a feather fan in his right hand.
He carried out the order and wrote: "Xuan", with an awe-inspiring aura and an awe-inspiring arrogance between his brows.
Bang! The Baozi brothers all knelt in front of the coffin, burned nine pillars of incense, and respectfully kowtowed three times to the coffin. Caihua also looked solemn and nodded symbolically.
"What's wrong?" I asked in surprise when I saw their strange expressions.
"Brother Qin, he is Liu Bowen, the son of Tianji, the previous generation of Lord Yan!" Caihua said in a deep voice.
I am in awe, Liu Bowen is the Xuanmen Yanjun, and can be said to be the emperor of Xuanmen. No wonder Brother Baozi is so pious, so he bowed slightly to show respect!
After Brother Baozi paid his respects, he stood up and said sadly: "Brother Qin, I think we have all made a mistake."
"Yes, Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to seal Liu Ji, but to help Liu Bowen suppress the evil god!" I nodded.
"Liu Bowen is really a strange person through the ages. He devoted his whole life to protecting the destiny of the Ming Dynasty and serving the country and the people. With his mysterious skills, it is not a problem to live for two hundred years, but he entered the evil tower early to protect the soul! He sacrificed his life and used the secret of the fifth life.
It is truly heroic to assist Zhu Yuanzhang in keeping the world stable." Baozi sighed, and bowed respectfully as he spoke.
