"唳——" The giant eagle roared, spread its wings again, and stopped steadily at the entrance of the valley.
The old woman held a long black shiny staff in her hand and jumped down from the eagle's back lightly. Her movements were vigorous and vigorous, completely unlike her age. Her eyes were bright and alert, giving people a sense of calmness and self-power.
She looked at Zhao Qing and Xia Mi warily and asked, "Who are you? What is the purpose of coming here?"
"Go to the Dragon Tomb and have a look." Zhao Qing casually showed a token given by Emperor Chu: "What is the name of this mother-in-law? Please lead the way and introduce the situation here."
"You can call me Aunt Yun." After verifying the authenticity of the token, the old woman holding the staff looked slightly relieved and nodded: "I have been enshrined by the Great Chu Imperial Court and have been guarding the Dragon Tomb here for more than sixty years.
Since you hold the imperial order, you are naturally qualified to enter and have a look..."
"However," she patted the hanging wings of the giant eagle beside her, signaling it to leave on its own to patrol and forage nearby: "If you want to open the mechanism portal here, you need at least four or five ordinary masters to work together. I am alone.
It’s worth two and a half people at most, but it’s still a few steps away from this standard…”
Having said this, this Granny Yun, who was suspected to have been a high-ranking palace maid of the Chu Palace in the early years and has now become a veteran grandmaster, couldn't help but cast her eyes on Zhao Qing and Xia Mi, with a sense of exploration, as if she didn't quite believe it.
The two people who look extremely young have master-level abilities.
In her opinion, this time Emperor Chu sent people to open the portal and enter the dragon tomb to inspect the conditions inside. Although the time was quite different from previous years, there would not be any special changes. They should still be the old ministers of the palace.
It's up to the familiar faces to come.
The two strangers like Zhao Qing, who had never met before, most likely just came with them. They are very talented. In the future, they may try to take over the "tomb guarding responsibility" of the juniors, but they left in a hurry, rushing
In front of a "familiar face", but those who are truly qualified to join forces with her are those at the back.
With this thought in her mind, Grandma Yun remained silent on the surface. She just waved her long staff and removed several layers of concealing illusory formations, revealing a ring and a half of moss growing on the entire mountain wall.
area, while calmly describing the preparations needed to open the tomb door:
"To put it simply, just press these claw marks firmly and circle them to the right three times."
"Don't underestimate the word 'force' I mentioned. Not only is this Dragon Tomb Gate extremely strong, its total weight is over 100 million kilograms, far exceeding the imagination of practitioners below the seventh realm. If you press it with such force
If there is any deficiency, it will be impossible to touch its internal mechanism, let alone open the stone door..."
"So, is it opened like this?" Zhao Qing smiled slightly, already knowing that the mechanism here should be set up by the ancient dragon clan. It is very simple and crude. It is different from the various and ever-changing magic circles today.
It has outrageous strength requirements, and it only needs to rotate hundreds of millions of kilograms of rock.
Before she could finish speaking to the other party, with a thought in her mind, a palm of vitality that was tens of feet in size formed out of thin air in front of her. The fingertips were crystal clear, and she aimed at the claw marks and embedded them in. The powerful force instantly penetrated the mountain wall.
, pressed and held the dragon claw mark for a full circle, and started to rotate.
Accompanied by the loud rumbling sound, it was like a small earthquake had occurred. The entire mountain cliff was trembling, gravel continued to roll down from high places, and the thick fog was stirred up, and even the
The giant eagle soared into the sky again and couldn't help but look down.
In the flying dust, the stone door that was scratched by the dragon's claws and was originally tightly connected with the cliff actually turned clockwise three times under the pressure of Zhao Qing's giant palm shadow, which was like a substance, and then slowly
It sank inward, revealing a deep and unpredictable cave entrance.
"Wait a minute!" Seeing this scene, Grandma Yun was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that the stone chamber she lived in was dug out of the claw marks, and the belongings inside had not yet been packed away!
The whole stone door began to rotate, and the bottles and jars containing things immediately fell around and smashed into pieces?
But when she was just thinking about whether she should stop the rotation and whether stopping it now would still be effective, her eyes suddenly widened and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.
This is because his belongings showed no signs of overturning or falling due to the rotation of the stone chamber. Instead, they all stayed in their original relative positions.
Obviously, there is an unusually solid amount of real energy that fixes them, causing them to rotate synchronously with the stone chamber at the same angular speed and maintain a relatively static state. Naturally, they reveal extremely delicate real energy manipulation skills.
!
"This..." Grandma Yun couldn't help but look at Zhao Qing in shock, and saw that the latter calmly withdrew his vitality palm, and at the same time dispersed the true energy acting on those debris.
She turned around, looked at Grandma Yun, smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Grandma, your things are all intact."
Opening the tomb door with one person's strength, and taking care of such delicate protection, with such ease and ease, I'm afraid even His Majesty would have a hard time doing it!
Grandma Yun was secretly surprised. She knew that the other party's power was far superior to the "Xuanwu Vajra Dharma Body" that she had cultivated for many years. She was definitely one of the few great masters in the world. She immediately calmed down and solemnly thanked Zhao Qing.
: "Thank you for your help."
"You're welcome." Zhao Qing nodded, looking at the tomb door that sank dozens of feet deep into the mountain wall, revealing a passage more than twenty feet wide, as well as the dragon claws cutting into the rock wall.
The traces of friction on the dragon scales provide a more intuitive feeling for the size of the ancient dragons.
She turned around, signaled to Xia Mi, and then took the lead to walk into the cave. At the same time, she asked: "I wonder how far away the deepest part of the dragon tomb is from here, and what kind of structure is inside? Mother Yun
Could you please explain it to us in detail?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Of course." Mother Yun responded, quickly followed Zhao Qing's pace, and at the same time began to tell what she knew about the situation: "
This ancient dragon tomb was discovered by accident about four hundred years ago when we were hunting in Yunmengze when we obtained the Ruhuang Dog and the Wanlu Zeng from Emperor Wen of Chu."
"At that time, Emperor Wen of Chu led many guards deep into the lake to hunt dragons, but he noticed the ancient ruins on the periphery of the island. After several studies, it was confirmed that this place was originally a residence of the Three Emperors Sect in the past, and was later sent by the You Dynasty.
The army captured it, and it is said that even Emperor You personally came here."
"With these discoveries, Emperor Wen of Chu was naturally very interested. He did not hesitate to neglect the government affairs, secretly mobilized many royal experts, and searched the island for three full months before he accidentally noticed the huge dragon claw scratches in the valley here.
, and then found the dragon tomb whose entrance was hidden in the mountain wall."
"According to historical records, when the tomb door was opened, dragon energy shot out from the tomb, condensed into the shape of a dragon, and shot straight into the sky, triggering a strange phenomenon in the heaven and earth that shook all directions."
"After that, Emperor Chu Wen ordered to block the news and set the place as a forbidden area. Only members of the royal family and royal worshipers were allowed to enter and explore and collect the resources inside. Every time the tomb door was opened, multiple masters were required to join forces, which cost a lot of money.
To prevent the 'gravekeepers' from being greedy and stealing their true essence."
"The giant eagles patrolling the island now are the descendants of the falcons that were tamed by Emperor Wen as gifts from strangers in the past. They pass on the responsibility of guarding the dragon tomb from generation to generation, and guard this land together with the 'tombkeepers'
The secret of the forbidden area.”
At this point, Grandma Yun paused and continued: "As for the internal structure of the Dragon Tomb, just like the tomb door mechanism that can be opened with brute force, it is actually not complicated at all, and there is nothing to target latecomers.
Trap, just keep going down the corridor."
"After all, the Dragon Clan at that time, as the rulers of the entire world, did not need to worry about anyone who dared to disturb their sleep or dig their graves, so they simply dug out a spacious enough space to place the remains of the clan members.
, and sealed the stone gate with great force on the outside."
"The corridor of this dragon tomb extends downward in a spiral shape. Its depth and length are quite astonishing. According to my estimate, it is at least five to six thousand feet deep underground, and the further down you go, the wider the corridor becomes.
The vastness, from the initial more than twenty feet, gradually expanded to hundreds of feet, or even wider."
"Five to six thousand feet?" After hearing this, even Zhao Qing was slightly surprised by the huge amount of work inside, and asked: "How big is the 'main tomb chamber' at the bottom? How big is it?"
Are there any murals, texts or other information engraved on the four walls of this spiral corridor? Can you confirm the approximate age of the Dragon Tomb?"
"About this, I will disappoint you." Grandma Yun shook her head and said with some regret: "Every few years, I and several other worshipers have to enter here and pick some of the things growing inside.
Dragon's Blood Grass', 'Dragon Scale Fern', 'Dragon Fat Mushroom', and 'Dragon Seal Moss' have come quite often."
"But except for the first section of the corridor, which has a small number of simple totems and symbols carved by the Dragon Clan, as you go deeper, the walls become bare and there is nothing left... It seems that the Dragon Clan has its own inherited memories and knowledge.
There is no need to record one’s own history in the tomb.”
"As for the size of the underground space at the bottom, it is really shocking. It can at least accommodate the entire palace. However, because this giant cave only has light in the center and is quite dark around the edges, we cannot accurately estimate its specific scope.
It can only be roughly explored."
"Light?" Xia Mi, who had been following behind and occasionally touching the claw marks on the rock wall with a thoughtful expression, caught the key word and asked curiously: "Is it formed naturally, or is it over there?
Is there something luminous?"
"It's the latter." Grandma Yun shook her head, recalling what she had seen in the past, and slowly said: "I don't know where this light comes from, it is like a kind of heaven and earth energy condensed into substance.
, the colors are constantly changing, sometimes golden and red like fire, sometimes blue like the sea, wandering in the middle of the tomb."
"According to the ancestors' tombkeepers, this is probably the law of vitality that has been engraved between heaven and earth by the eight realms in ancient times. Maybe it comes from the ancient dragon who built the tomb, or maybe later generations have entered this place and want to
Other strong men who are searching for the secrets of the dragon clan have no way of verifying it."
A magic circle arranged with the divine patterns of the great avenue? Zhao Qing's heart moved. She had already achieved a guaranteed harvest from this trip to explore the dragon tomb. In addition, along the way, she secretly figured out the strength of the claws of the dragons when they dug the tunnel.
, position, and have an in-depth understanding of the ancient dragon clan's luck and force model.
"The specific age of the Dragon Tomb," Mother Yun pondered for a moment, then continued: "According to some ancient inscriptions that Emperor Wen of Chu originally found from the ruins of the Three Emperors Sect, as well as the semi-petrified dragon crystal later found from the Dragon Tomb.
If so, I'm afraid it can be traced back to tens of thousands of years ago."
"At that time, the Dragon Clan was still at its peak and was the master of the world. Their power was unimaginable. Even the weakest members of the Dragon Clan had power that exceeded that of most masters today, and their lifespans were long.
, even the existence of Eighth Realm Qitian is incomparable..."
The three of them were talking while walking quickly along the dim and empty corridor. They soon arrived at a place more than a thousand feet underground. On the rock walls on both sides, there were luminous pearls the size of washbasins embedded at regular intervals, emitting light.
