Chapter 52 The Temple of War

 If nothing unexpected happens, this palace should be the Temple of War!

The detector set off towards the rocky island in the center of the lake and took pictures of the scene in the lake.

The lake is bottomless and full of all kinds of life, such as luminous strange fish schools, thousands of which appear in groups in the red light of the lake, or monsters that look like snakes but not snakes, with countless tentacles

The large spherical shape, the giant turtles passing by, all kinds of strange things, like arriving at the biochemical experimental base of an advanced civilization.

This thought flashed through Xu Qian's mind.

The person who built the Jingyan Palace knows how to burn star maps and leave so many planet coordinates, which shows that it has the ability to travel in the starry sky, and its level of civilization is certainly not weak. Then it is not impossible to leave a biochemical experiment base!

Could it be that the so-called Shattered Void actually shattered from this planet to the specific coordinates set by the alien civilization? Is the God of War catalog a means left behind by this civilization?

Suddenly, the water surface churned violently, as if a huge creature was about to rush out of the lake.

The sound of water sounded, and sure enough, a huge monster rushed out of the water, opened its mouth with flashing fangs in the air, and swallowed several detectors in one mouthful. A "crunching" sound was heard, and the monster shook its head and swallowed a

A pile of broken parts spit out.

The detector made of super alloy was bitten into pieces by this monster!

This monster has a strange head and a fish body. The head is extremely huge. There are two small horns like antelopes on the top. The head is covered with green hair. Each line is as thick as an arm and hangs down on both sides. The green eyes are as big as lanterns and the nostrils are flat and raised.

Its mouth is covered with short, needle-like whiskers. Its body is round and three feet long. It is covered with thick green and red armor. There are four long claws on both sides of its abdomen that look like palms but not palms, and look like claws but not claws.

Its big, scaly webbed feet and long, pointed tail wave powerfully in the water, making it very similar to the legendary dragon.

The monster tilted its head and stared curiously at the detector floating on the lake.

I seem to be wondering what this is and why it tastes so irritating to my mouth?

Seeing the magic dragon appear, Xu Qian said: "The detector can't deal with this thing. Send people there and try your best to capture it alive!"

More than a dozen special research team members were ordered to leave. Those who can be selected into Xu Qian's special research team must not only have professional knowledge, but also have good martial arts. According to the martial arts world before the Tang Dynasty, each of these team members must have

He is the master.

Not long after, the special research team members appeared on the screen and started a battle with the dragon.

The demon dragon is not weak, far superior to the average grand master, but the special research team members do not have to fight it alone, and times have changed. Today's martial arts experts not only need to learn various advanced martial arts knowledge, but also master modern weapons.

, is no longer comparable to the martial arts world half a century ago.

With the joint efforts of more than a dozen special research team members, this demonic dragon with amazing brute strength and thick skin was finally unable to withstand the attacks one after another and was knocked down in the lake.

After solving the magic dragon, the detector landed on the rocky island in the middle of the lake.

This island seems to exist only to serve as the cornerstone of the huge palace. Eighty percent of the half-mile-wide isolated island is covered by this huge palace.

[To tell you the truth, I have been using the Huanyuan app recently to read and catch up on new books. It allows me to switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. .huanyuanapp is available for Android and Apple.]

The shape of the giant building is very similar to the Yanxiang Hall of Jingyan Palace, but it lacks the double eaves and flying friezes. It looks like a huge hollow square stone, becoming the center of this underground world.

There is a long staircase leading to the main entrance of the huge palace, which rises layer by layer. There may be as many as a thousand steps, making this underground giant palace stand high above.

On the lowest steps of the stone steps, immersed in the lake, there is a large stone turtle that is more than eight feet long and eight feet high. Lying at the bottom of the stone steps, it seems that it is just about to leave the water and land, with its hind legs still immersed in the water and its head raised. The main entrance facing the sky is powerful and ingenious in shape, and the textured scales are as real as if a giant tortoise that once had a living head was petrified here.

The turtle's back was covered with intricate symbols and patterns. Xu Qian could tell at a glance that it was a coordinate, but it was different from the coordinates of the star map depicted in the palace outside. It was written in Bagua.

And the person who stayed behind deliberately did not write it down directly, but made it into an extremely complicated question. If you want to get the answer, you must first solve it and calculate it. The solved coordinates are not the same as the coordinates of the star map just now. Same, nine more numbers.

Where is this positioning?

Generally speaking, the coordinates on the two-dimensional plane are two numbers (x, y), and the coordinates in the three-dimensional space are three numbers (x, y, z), but these coordinates have nine more numbers.

‘Could this be locating the location after the Shattered Void? No, there are other possibilities. For example, the person who built Jingyan Palace located the coordinates of this planet from his world.’

The detector has crossed thousands of stone steps and reached the entrance of the huge palace. The door is not closed, but is wide open, as if it is welcoming people to come in and visit.

The huge hall is so huge that when you look in, it's like peeping through a tube, boundless. There is a stone plaque at the entrance with three characters "War Temple" engraved on it. Each character is about ten feet in size.

On the huge wall facing the entrance, there is a line of large seals carved from top to bottom, running straight down from the top of the hall, at least thirty feet apart from the beginning to the end, and each character is about ten feet square. It reads: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent. "For a rotten dog".

'The big seal script evolved in the late Western Zhou Dynasty. 'Heaven and earth are not benevolent and treat all things as stupid dogs' is a sentence from Laozi's "Tao De Jing". Laozi was a man of the Spring and Autumn Period. Each of the three worlds he passed through has its own characteristics. Taoism has these predecessors and sages, how interesting it is!'

Xu Qian stared at the words on the screen for several seconds before adjusting the detector lens and looking elsewhere.

The huge palace is more than eighty feet long, and nearly forty feet high and wide. The entire palace is shrouded in soft blue light. Looking at the top of the palace, there is a round object embedded in the center of the top of the palace, which is about forty feet above the ground. .

This object is two feet in diameter and emits blue-yellow light, just like an indoor sun. It is it that bathes the entire huge palace in thousands of blue lights.

With this light source as the center, a large circle with a diameter of twenty feet was drawn on the top of the palace. It was the same as the star map at the entrance of the secret passage, but it was several times larger, seeming to cover the huge palace under the infinite starry sky.

Xu Qian looked at the star map and found that the circular luminous object represented the sun. With the sun as the center, a large area of ​​the universe's starry sky was carved here. If this map is accurate, it will be of great help to the future exploration of the starry sky in the Tang Dynasty. .

There is not a single pillar or object in the huge hall. There is a relief about two feet square on the ground in the center of the hall. There are also relief pictures about ten feet square on the left and right walls, twenty-four on each side, plus the relief in the center of the hall. There are exactly forty-nine pictures, which coincides with the number of heaven.

The relief painting on the floor in the center of the palace is exquisitely crafted. It depicts a god wearing a strange armor and stomach, with a mask on his face. Sitting on his crotch is a monster that looks like a dragon but not a dragon. It is formed from nine thick clouds that have been torn apart. It flies down from the upper left corner and rushes towards a blood-red fireball in the lower right corner. Next to each thick cloud, there are written from top to bottom the ninth heaven, the eighth heaven, and the lowest first heaven.

There are five large characters on the top of the relief, which are "Illustrated Records of the God of War".
