Chapter 1997 Entering the Underground Palace(1/2)
After leaving the main hall, Ito Cheng did not return to the harem to hang out with his women. Instead, he turned around and came to another palace room that was heavily guarded.
"I have met your Majesty." Seeing Ito Cheng's arrival, the soldiers guarding him immediately knelt down on one knee and lowered their heads.
"Get up." Ito Cheng said softly, "From now on, no one is allowed to come near this place without my order. No matter what happens inside, you don't need to pay attention to it. Just guard the passages. Do you understand?"
?”
"Yes, Your Majesty." The soldiers responded solemnly.
Then Ito Cheng ignored them and walked into the main hall.
The main hall is very large, covering more than 150 square meters, but there is no decoration inside. It is like a newly built empty hall. Only eight small ones, one big and nine bronze cauldrons stand quietly in the main hall.
.
It is the Jiuding that has magical powers and represents the symbol of supreme authority and country!
"It's time to complete the steps that were not completed at the beginning." Looking at the Jiuding in front of him, Ito Cheng chuckled.
After talking about it, I found a piece with a total height of about ten centimeters, divided into upper and lower parts. The upper part was carved with a ferocious dragon with superb craftsmanship, while the lower part was made into a square shape, with a length and width of eight centimeters, and the entire body was made of jade.
The seal appeared in Ito Cheng's hand.
This object is nothing else, it is an authoritative treasure that combines the destiny and beliefs of the two worlds of humanity - He's Wall.
As soon as this object appeared, it was like seeing a natural enemy. The Jiuding vibrated uncontrollably and made a low buzzing sound. At the same time, the body of the tripod glowed brightly and a gray mist emerged.
"Here comes the dragon!" Seeing this, Ito Cheng did not dare to hesitate, immediately raised his hand and shouted in a low voice.
The next moment, there was only a "bang, clatter" sound. A purple air dragon invisible to the naked eye immediately flew down from the sky, penetrated the tiles of the palace, and crashed into him under the control of Ito Cheng.
On the wall of Heshi in the hand.
In an instant, He's wall lit up, blooming with magnificent light, and spontaneously flew up from Ito Cheng's hand.
I don't know if it was because of the sudden descent of the purple air dragon. The Jiuding, which was already ready to go, trembled slightly, and the gray mist surging on the surface also became sluggish.
And at this moment, the light of He's arm floating in the mid-air lit up again, turning into a stream of light and flying over the Jiuding, projecting thousands of colorful rays of light towards the Jiuding cover like ribbons.
Come down.
The Jiuding, which was illuminated by the light band, shook slightly. A thick earth-yellow light also bloomed from the tripod. Then a twisted fuzzy space was created by the collision of two forces, covering He's Wall and Jiuding.
Seeing this, Ito Cheng, who was excluded from the space, suddenly felt something in his heart. He raised his hand and placed a series of vitality restrictions around the hall. Then he sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and entered concentration, arousing the innate god. Through the connection between Jiuding and himself, he
External assistance was provided to Heshibi to devour Jiuding.
Almost instantly, Jiuding's body trembled slightly again, and the halo on the surface quickly became much dimmer.
And Heshibi, as if he had his own spiritual consciousness, took the opportunity to shine brightly and released more power to press towards Jiuding.
In this indescribable confrontation, I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly, a new change began to appear.
At this time, I saw a slight light on the body of the Jiuding Cauldron. Nine grotesque monsters gradually emerged from the body of the cauldron. In the thousands of rays of light emitted by He's wall, they struggled towards He's arms.
rushed over.
These nine illusory monsters are the legendary Nine Sons of the Dragon! Judging from their performance when Ito Cheng stole the cauldron, it is not difficult to conclude that they are the beasts that protect the cauldron sealed in the cauldron! However,
Now, they have been drawn out by the power of Quehe's wall. From this, it can be seen that Jiuding is on the verge of being completely swallowed.
This pulling state lasted for more than a quarter of an hour, before the Nine Sons Phantom finally turned into nine vast mists with an unwilling howl, and completely disappeared into the Heshi wall.
"Crack!"
The next moment, there was a sudden crisp cracking sound. Several fine cracks that were visible to the flesh suddenly appeared on the glorious Jiuding.
Obviously, without the protection of the beast that protects the cauldron, the material that makes up the cauldron can no longer withstand the things gathered on the cauldron and begins to collapse.
"Click~Click~"
Then the cracks extended and quickly covered the entire tripod body. Then there was a muffled "bang" sound, and the nine large tripods suddenly exploded and turned into dust that filled the sky.
At this time, the light around Heshibi shook again, like a whale swallowing water, and quickly sucked the nine dense light groups that appeared after the explosion of Jiuding into Xi's body. Then the light around Heshibi shrank, and disappeared again.
The colors changed in the air for a moment, and then turned into a stream of light and fell into Ito's hand again.
"Hey, I didn't expect such an unexpected gain." Ito Cheng said in shock as soon as he held the jade seal in his hand, a piece of information suddenly poured out of his mind.
There were two pieces of information that emerged in his mind. One was that He Shibi, who had swallowed the Jiuding, also had the ability of the Jiuding - that is, when holding it, he could feel the conditions in the mountains and rivers of the designated land. But this
The scope is relatively small, limited to the land of Kyushu in China, and it is still of no use to Ito Cheng. But the second one is different.
Probably because of swallowing the phantom of the Nine Dragon Sons, Heshibei actually has the ability to release the Nine Dragon Beasts to attack the enemy! Although the power is not necessarily great, it does make it possible to use it at most in the past.
As a brick, the Heshibi that smashes people like Fan Tianyin has other attack methods. Even if you are willing to consume a certain amount of the strange power existing in Heshibi, you can also combine the nine beasts into one and turn into a blue dragon to send out a powerful
One hit!
Although unless it was Ito Cheng who committed a crime, he would attack something like the Heshi Wall, which can already be regarded as a humane treasure, as an ordinary magic weapon. Under normal circumstances, you would never see that kind of scene, but for the Heshi Wall
It has to be said that this is a great progress, which makes people happy.
"Just the Jiuding in the mortal world has this effect. I really don't know how far the Heshibi will evolve if he swallows the real Jiuding." Ito Cheng, who carefully played with the Heshibi in his hand, sighed in a low voice.
Then he put away the Heshi wall with his hands. Then he waved away the vitality restrictions placed in and around the hall, turned around and walked out of the hall.
"Greetings to Your Majesty." Just as when he came, the soldiers who saw him immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted.
"How long have I been inside?" Ito Cheng asked quietly.
"Your Majesty, five days have passed." The soldier general said.
"Five days...it's not long." Ito Cheng said softly, "Okay. Let's disperse. There is no need to specially guard this place from now on. Let's set up defenses according to normal procedures."
After saying that, he ignored the soldiers and turned around to leave the hall.
"Yes." The general said firmly.
…
On the other side, Ito Cheng, who left the palace, first returned to the harem, and spent a while with Zhao Ya, Zhao Ni, Zhao Qian, Wu Tingfang, Guo Xiuer, and Ji Yanran, whom he had not seen for five days, and then returned.
He went to the front hall. He invited all the ministers to deal with the documents that needed to be approved personally during the past few days, and arranged the work such as relocation and resettlement of the seven places according to the original plan. Then he left the front hall again and returned to the front hall.
The harem was completely immersed in the tenderness of women.
However, this state did not last long, only three or four days. Ito left the palace alone again, appeared in the vast Taihang Mountains, and began to explore the secret of the so-called Canglong Qisu.
"I hope it will be an interesting secret." As he walked forward slowly, Ito spread his mental power/spiritual thoughts and scanned the entire Taihang Mountains inch by inch like a radar.
Taihang Mountain, also known as Five Elements Mountain, Queen Mother Mountain, and Nuwa Mountain. It is an important mountain range and geographical dividing line in eastern China. It is located at the junction of Yanzhao and Qin, spanning the four kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, Qin, and Wei
City boundary. The mountain range starts from the Xishan Mountain in Jishi City of Yan State in the north, extends to Wangwu Mountain in the junction area of Zhao and Qin in the south, borders the Qinling Plateau in the west, and the North China Plain in the east. It runs from northeast to southwest and stretches for more than 400 kilometers.
Under Ito Cheng's scanning, the area of more than 400 kilometers was quickly swept away, and then an underground palace hidden in the center of a valley deep in the Taihang Mountains appeared in Ito Cheng's mind through perception.
"That's probably where it is." Ito Cheng secretly thought. Then with a thought in his mind, he appeared in the depression the next moment.
At this time, it is already winter. The daily temperature is very low, and the cold and humid air is not easy to evaporate. In addition, this is a depression, and it is still covered by sunlight. The surrounding trees have dense branches and leaves, so it has not yet reached the freezing point. In the valley, there are
There has been a lot of frost, and the cold fog has filled the air, making the place look like a fairyland in the cold palace.
Ito Cheng took a brief look at his surroundings without stopping, and followed the route he sensed. Soon he came to a mountain wall covered with moss.
"I didn't expect to see illusions here."
Looking at the mountain wall in front of him that was completely transformed by illusion, Ito Cheng couldn't help but become more interested in the stone chamber and the secrets hidden in it.
Then he stretched out his hand and casually broke the illusion in front of him. Immediately afterwards, a strange protruding stone appeared in front of Ito Cheng's eyes from the illusion that quickly dissipated.
Ito Cheng, who already knew what it was from his telepathy, stretched out his hand to hold the stone and twisted it slightly to the side.
The next moment, a series of "clucking" sounds suddenly sounded, and then a dark passage emerged from the huge stone door that gradually moved to the side.
"Puff, puff, puff, puff..."
Immediately afterwards, there was another continuous sound, just like phosphorus meeting air, and balls of flames burned spontaneously from the cave, illuminating the dark passage.
It has to be said that in some aspects, the wisdom of the ancients is incredible.
After the entire passage door was fully opened, Ito Cheng stepped into the passage and walked along the stone path toward the underground palace deep inside.
The passage was very long, hundreds of meters long. It took Ito Cheng a short while to complete it, and then a very empty stone hall that seemed to be two or three hundred square meters appeared at the end of the passage.
.
The hall has a circular structure, with a bronze door on the left, middle and right. Above the door guards, ancient bronze inscriptions write "Gate of Life", "Gate of Death" and "Gate of Life and Death" respectively.
A few big characters.
A coiled dragon is painted on the floor of the hall, with its head pointing towards the Gate of Life, its tail pointing towards the Gate of Death, and its lower limbs pointing towards the Gate of Life and Death. And above the hall, there is a sculpture of a dragon.
Colorful blue painting, looking at the story, it seems to be the legend of King Wen of Zhou inviting Jiang Ziya to Lu Shang.
After looking around the hall, Ito Cheng withdrew his eyes and walked straight through the hall to the bronze door with three golden characters "Gate of Life and Death" written on it. He stretched out his hand and pushed... The door then slowly creaked with a sound.
It opened, and then another dark passage appeared.
For Ito Cheng, who had already seen the night as day, this darkness was nothing, and he immediately walked into the passage with his head held high.
And the moment he walked into the passage, his surroundings immediately changed, from the original dark passage to a killing battlefield. At the same time, Itomoto himself also transformed into a soldier, appearing in
When he arrived on the battlefield, he was about to be killed by the ferocious enemy soldiers in front of him.
To be continued...
