Chapter 37: Astrology Altar

At this time, the rope suddenly stopped shaking. When I looked back, my eyelids jumped to find that the savage was grabbing the rope and biting it. I was horrified and crawled forward as fast as possible, but I saw that I was only a few steps away from the other side.

When we were less than two meters away, the rope suddenly softened, and my body fell rapidly and hit the opposite rock wall.

This time I felt dizzy, and I subconsciously let go of my hands. By the time I realized it, it was already too late. My body was falling towards the cliff below at a very fast speed. I had only one thought in my mind: I was dead now.

"boom"

As soon as my body penetrated the clouds and mist, I landed on the ground. I felt great pain all over my body, but I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't expect that it was not very high down here. At least the pain on my body told me that I didn't fall to death this time.

I struggled to sit up and saw a vast white scene in front of me. The visibility was only three meters around me. Only then did I realize that I was on a flat rock with an area of ​​less than three meters. I happened to be sitting in the middle.

.This is simply so lucky. Even if there was a small error in it, I would definitely be dead now.

I rubbed the sore spot on my chest and stood up slowly. There was an ancient pine growing outside the rock, with four forked branches supporting the entire boulder. I suddenly discovered that there was a hole in the rock wall behind, with a diameter of enough

It is two meters long and can fully support people walking upright.

I got closer to the entrance of the cave, and was shocked to see that although the cave was naturally formed, there were traces of artificial chiseling. There were also several ancient characters carved on the top of the cave. They were square and square, and it seemed that they had been carved over time.

It has been a long time, and the handwriting is very mottled, but it can still be barely legible.

This font is different from the ones we saw a few times before. It is a formal official font, which was a widely used text at that time. I have a little knowledge of this aspect, and after careful identification, I finally translated these four characters.

"Yunwu Tiangong?" I was surprised. It seemed like a very formal entrance, but why was it built on a cliff?

But no matter what, I was still very pleasantly surprised. I felt that I was very close to the tomb of the Dragon Chaser, and maybe I was even at the entrance of the tomb now. That savage was really evil and did a good thing, otherwise no matter what I did,

You may not be able to find this secret entrance even if you look for it.

I took out my searchlight and spray gun and walked into the cave. It was very finely carved inside. After walking less than twenty meters, I found a wide stone courtyard. A stone door stood in front of it. On both sides of the stone door, there was a huge blue stone.

The statue has a dragon on the left and a tiger on the right. There is a bronze tripod in the middle of the stone courtyard. However, the tripod is too corroded. It is covered with patina and broken holes, and there are traces of burned objects inside.

, there should have been writing on it, but now none of it can be seen clearly. It looks shaky and has little value for research and collection.

Slowly walking into the stone gate, I didn't expect the terrain inside to gradually rise and get higher and higher. I wondered in my heart, shouldn't I go down? Is there a dragon tower on this mountain? But at that time, these things should not be paid attention to.

Sure enough, I kept walking along the stone path, and soon I saw a bright light. When I reached the end, I found that the stone path actually led to the top of the mountain. No, it was halfway up the mountain. There was a winding stone staircase in front of me.

Winding upward, the end of the stairs should be the top of the mountain.

I climbed up the stone steps and took a look at the surrounding environment. I suddenly understood in my heart that the steps were set on the edge of a very steep cliff. There were protruding rocks above and an endless abyss below. There was no way to come up or down. There was only one way to get there.

You can get here through that passage, that's the only way.

I walked very carefully. The stairs were only two feet wide and the span was very large. I had to be careful with every step to prevent accidents. Fortunately, I don't have a fear of heights, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to walk this way.

The terrain becomes more steep as we go up, and some places have collapsed. Whenever I encounter such a place, I will lean my back tightly against the rock wall and move forward little by little. It can be said that every step is startling.

After walking for half an hour, I could finally see the end of the stone steps. As I thought, that was the top of the entire mountain. It was surrounded by a huge round cylinder, and the top extended outwards. It looked like

Like a giant mushroom.

Similarly, this staircase is the only way to the top of the "mushroom". It is impossible to climb up from all sides. Of course, if there is a helicopter, it will be a different situation.

I followed the stairs all the way to the top of the mountain. It was about fifty meters in diameter. It was surrounded by shrubs and rocks, but in the middle there was a huge stone platform. It was round, three meters high, and two meters in diameter.

Ten meters.

Climbing up the stone platform, the first thing I saw were four human-shaped statues. However, they had been washed away by wind and rain and were already mottled, and even their faces and facial features were indistinguishable. What caught my attention was that the stone platform was covered with the same holes.

At first glance, there is no pattern, but after careful analysis, you find that this is a star map, with small lines connecting the same constellations. The center position is the Big Dipper. Strangely, there are four pictures of the Big Dipper, each occupying one

The orientation and positioning of the seven stars have also changed greatly.

I didn't understand it at first, but I soon figured it out. The Big Dipper will keep changing its position according to time. These four pictures represent the four seasons of the year, and the results are naturally different.

I guess this stone platform may be a place for stargazing and offering sacrifices. The purpose is to observe the stars of the sky and the earth, and to offer sacrifices to the gods of the four directions. For wizards, these two things are extremely important events. They are a way for them to show their faith and

The place of talent is usually the place where decisions are made about something.

I don't have the heart to guess what kind of big things happened here. Now I have more important things to do. The four words above the cave entrance are "Cloud and Mist Tiangong", but this is obviously not a Tiangong, so since the cave entrance leads here

Yes, it stands to reason that there must be a road leading to the Heavenly Palace.

The surroundings are clear at a glance, and the entrance must be hidden. It will definitely not be easy to find the entrance.

I searched the stone platform all over, but found nothing. At this time, I suddenly remembered what happened at the Qinling Sacred Lake. There was also a star observatory there, and there was a portal hidden on one side of the star observatory. I

I hurriedly searched for it, but found nothing.

I searched for the next half an hour, but couldn't find where the door was. At this time, the sky was slowly turning dark, and it seemed that it would be difficult to find the entrance today.

After walking continuously for a day and a night, I was already exhausted, so I found a random place to sit down on the stone platform and had something to eat. Soon I was tired, and I fell asleep without realizing it.

In the end, I woke up from the cold. It was early spring, and the clothes on my body were not thick to begin with. When I was blown by the cold wind on the top of the mountain, I couldn't sleep anymore.

I opened my eyes and took a look. The moon had risen to the middle of the sky, and the silver light spread all over the stone platform. The surrounding scenery was clear and clear. I just stood up from the stone platform, and suddenly I found that the white light kept flashing below, which was in the valley.

of copper pillars.

Maybe it was because of the angle, but what I saw at this time was a little brighter than last night. Suddenly, the flickering light became brighter and stopped flickering. A silver-white light beam-like brilliance was pointed directly at where I was.

Stone platform.

I was extremely surprised. The light must be emitted by the moon, but why is it facing my direction? Is there any information hidden in it?

I looked back, but couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. The chests of the four statues behind me also shone with silver-white light, echoing the light on the copper pillars.

There must be something wrong. This idea immediately came to my mind, and I hurried to one of the statues. When I looked carefully, I found that there was a depression on the chest of the statue. There was a small hole in the depression, and the thing that was emitting light was

In the entrance of the cave.

I put my fingers in and felt around, and found that the inside of the statue was actually hollow. At this time, I made another surprising discovery. As the chest of the stone statue lit up with light, the entire stone platform slowly shone with fluorescent light. When I looked carefully,

It turned out to be the star map. Every star shone slightly, especially the Big Dipper in the middle, which looked the brightest.

It's amazing. I originally thought that the astrology map above was just an image and a symbolic thing, based on people's preferences. I didn't expect such a change. Now I have some understanding of the copper pillars in the valley.

The real purpose, it seems that the things on it are related to the copper pillar.

I tried to move the statue, but failed. The stone sculpture and the stone platform below were tightly integrated together, like a whole piece, and could not be moved at all.

It seems that the problem is not here at all. After thinking about it, I focused on the small hole on the chest of the statue. Through careful observation, I quickly found that the stone around the small hole was different from the ones next to it, and was darker in color.

I took out a tool and scraped it. This small piece of stone was actually very soft. I simply smashed it hard a few times, and soon a square hole appeared in front of me. The hole was only about a foot wide, and someone must have drilled it.

If I couldn't go in, I put my arm in and groped around, and finally found out why the statue couldn't move. It was because there was a stone pillar inside that tightly connected the statue to the stone platform below. No matter how hard I tried, it couldn't move.

no.

I took a searchlight and stuck my head in to check. The stone pillar was several feet in diameter. There were several copper pipes connected to form a shelf, and a crystal-like ball was placed on it. The stone pillar was also hollow, and it was impossible to see the bottom at all.

I didn't understand the purpose of this setting at all, but I knew it definitely had a special meaning. I stopped playing with the stone pillar and focused my attention on the surroundings in the belly of the statue.
