Just when everyone was at a loss, Fei Yifan was walking around silently on the bluestone ground between the heavy water and the fountain, as if he was looking for something.
Everyone couldn't help but look at his actions with curiosity. Taoist Master Zengfan said: "Could it be that there is something wrong with crossing the heavy water and entering the palace?"
Just then, I heard Fei Fan cheer: "Found it!"
When everyone hurriedly gathered around to take a look, Fei Yifan squatted on the ground, pointed at a bluestone slab and said, "All the bluestone slabs here have smooth surfaces. Only this one has a slight difference on it. Can any of you see it?"
"
Everyone squatted down and looked carefully, but no one found any difference. Pang Xiaotai said: "The stone slabs on the ground are all blue and smooth, there is no difference?"
Fei Yifan said with a proud smile: "This is because your observation skills are not good enough. Have you ever played the game of looking at pictures to find the differences? This bluestone does look no different from other bluestones, but it is different from other bluestones."
It’s a little bit bigger in size.”
Pang Xiaotai asked: "Really? We really haven't seen it yet. But so what? What problem can it explain?"
Fei Fan said: "Get out of the way and let me tell you what secrets this stone slab will tell us."
Everyone took a few steps back. Fei Fan took out his ancient-colored dagger and carefully inserted it into the gap of the stone slab in front of him. With a slight exertion, he pried up the stone slab a little.
Ichiban paused for a moment and saw that there was no change, so he slowly lifted up the stone slab with force.
At this time, Jiao Yiming beside him took a step forward and helped Fei Yifan turn over the entire slate. At this time, everyone was surprised to find that there was a square groove under the slate, with a circle inside.
A spherical protrusion.
Fei Yifan proudly said to everyone: "How is it? Now everyone understands? From ancient times to the present, in terms of architectural theory, even building a toilet is one of his own works in the eyes of architects, even laying paving
The bricks and stones will not be careless, nor will the bricks and stones on the ground be laid in different sizes. What's more, it is a magical building like the legendary Nine Heavens City?"
Master Zengfan said: "Don't waste any more time to show off your professional knowledge. Now that you have found the mechanism, tell us what to do quickly."
Fei Fan rolled his eyes, calmed down, and said: "I'm not sure what this mechanism is. Everyone, please be careful, I'm going to control it."
We all nodded, and with some effort, we slowly put our hands into the groove, placed them on the ball, and pressed it gently.
At this time, there seemed to be a slight noise coming from the ground, and then the sound gradually became louder, and finally turned into a dull "bang" sound.
Everyone stood there nervously, not knowing what would happen next.
Suddenly, the water instructor whispered: "Everyone, look into the Chongshui Lake! What is that?"
When the rest of us looked along the square of her finger, we saw a long black thing suddenly appeared from the bottom up in the blue and transparent heavy water lake, and it was heading towards the lake at an extremely fast speed.
Come.
Instructor Shui shouted: "Everyone be alert!"
We quickly took a few steps back from the lake, picked up the guns in our hands, and stared at the heavy water nervously. I thought to myself, what will appear this time?
The long black thing rushed out of the heavy water with a roar, shook a few times on the water, and then floated on the water. Only then did everyone see clearly that the black thing was actually a ship for some unknown reason.
Boat made of matter.
And when we looked at the boat intently, a chill instantly hit our hearts. There was actually a person sitting in this pitch-black boat! A living person wearing ancient Nanzhao alien costumes.
A person! A girl who looks as agile as water under the quiet blue light of the heavy water!
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other in panic for a moment. At this time, the girl slowly rocked the boat, cut through the water, and swung the boat towards our shore.
Suddenly, Fei Fan let out a long laugh that scared us all into a cold sweat. He said with a smile: "What a wonderful workmanship! What a wonderful workmanship! If this small boat can be brought to the ground, it will definitely be a shocking treasure."
When he finished saying this and saw everyone looking at him angrily, Fei Fan said with some embarrassment: "I was happy for a moment. Please forgive me, comrades." Then he smiled slyly and said: "
Don’t comrades see that the woman in the boat is just a dummy?”
Everyone was stunned and looked at him in confusion. Pang Xiaotai opened his mouth and asked: "You...you said the woman in the boat is a dummy?"
Fei Fan nodded and smiled: "Are you all frightened by the sudden appearance of this small boat? Can't you see that the woman rocking the boat is motionless, only her right hand is making mechanical circles? Everyone, please stop.
Looking at her facial expression, is it always that low-brow look?"
At this time, the boat was almost reaching the shore. After listening to Fei Yifan's description, everyone looked carefully. Sure enough, the woman's facial expression was the same, she was just shaking her hand mechanically.
Even so, everyone still stood there hesitantly with uneasiness in their hearts. Fei Fan looked at us all with some contempt, and walked to the shore of Chongshui, as if he was greeting the woman rocking the boat.
When the boat arrived in front of Fei Fan, Fei Fan grabbed the bow of the boat, stretched out his hand and pressed the woman's right arm as she was rocking the oar, then turned around and said to us with a playful smile: "Comrades, get on the boat. I Fei Fan
Come and be a boatman for everyone."
We saw that he pressed on the woman's arm, and the boat stopped, but the woman remained motionless. Finally, she felt relieved and stepped forward boldly.
When we arrived at the boat, we saw up close that the dummy in the boat turned out to be just a wooden man. Only then did everyone marvel at the exquisite carving skills and ingenious mechanism-making skills of the ancients.
After Fei Yifan signaled everyone to get on the boat, he pointed at the wooden woman's arm and said, "Have you seen this triangular button? This is the mechanism for controlling the boat. Turn it to the left, and the boat will turn to the left.
Twist right to turn right, twist to the tip of the triangle to move forward, and press down to stop.”
After speaking and demonstrating it to everyone, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "The wisdom of these ancients is simply incredible. This trip to the underground has really broadened my horizons."
At this time, Fei Fan had already turned the bow of the boat and rowed slowly towards the palace. Suddenly, Master Zengfan said to Fei Fan, "Fei Fan, what kind of material is this boat made of? Why?"
It feels a little strange, tough but a little elastic? It doesn't look like rubber, nor does it look like wood."
Fei Fan smiled and said: "I felt it when I first pulled the bow of the boat, but I didn't know what kind of material it was. What's important now is that the appearance of this small boat is the only way for us to cross the heavy water.
Tool of."
Master Zengfan nodded and said nothing more.
The boat slowly sailed towards the palace in the center of Chongshui Lake. Everyone stared at the mysterious palace, wondering what was waiting for us inside. In fact, everyone was a little numb now. The Golden City, the Flower of the Other Shore, and the Human Skin
Wooden figures, Thousand Coffins Array, Water Monsters, Haunted Mansion... There are so many magic and weirdness along the way.
Fortunately, the heavy water is still calm, still emitting a quiet gleam, and there is nothing abnormal.
The boat was getting closer and closer to the palace, and a long white marble step stretched down from the palace entrance. I looked at this palace that had been sleeping underground for I don’t know how many years but was still magnificent, and I suddenly felt a little heavy in my heart.
.I wonder if strangers like us who appear thousands of years later will disturb the peace of this pure land, and what kind of reward will this underground palace give to us strange disturbers? Will it be welcomed or not?
?Should it be open to us to uncover its mysterious veil, or should it be punished for disturbing us?
After some effort, the boat stopped in front of the white steps. Everyone climbed up the steps one by one while being alert.
Fei Fan said: "You should have seen just now that the phantoms of white women emerged from the heavy water and flew to the palace. I feel that this is not for no reason. Everyone must be careful after entering the palace.
Don’t move around!”
Everyone responded and slowly walked up the steps.
Fei Yifan, who was walking in front, seemed to be very cautious at this time. He would stop slightly every few steps. It took a lot of time to reach the end of hundreds of steps.
Stepping onto the platform in front of the palace, everyone suddenly felt how small and magnificent the palace was. To be honest, I have been to the Forbidden City in Beijing, and I also saw the palace of the Chiyou tribe in the Dragon Cave on the Seventh Layer during my last mission.
Including the previous palace in the Golden City. I don’t know why, but it feels much worse than the palace above the heavy water. Suddenly, a thought came to my mind: This palace does not seem to be like anything in the world, it seems to be moving along with it.
Your heart is beating. This feeling makes me feel terrible! It's like a living thing!
Suddenly, there was a solemn shout: "Infinite Lord!" I woke up from my reverie. Then when I went to see other companions, I found that they seemed to have just come out of some kind of contemplation or reverie state.
I just woke up in a daze. I muttered to myself: There is something wrong with this palace.
At this time, Fei Fan suddenly screamed: "Grandma, there is something evil in this palace. I seemed to see it moving just now."
Pang Xiaotai also said: "Comrades, I also feel that there is something evil. It seemed that it almost took away the soul just now. Fortunately, I heard the Taoist Senior's loud shout and woke up."
Others also said a few words with similar sentiments. Taoist Master Zengfan said with a solemn expression: "When I first saw this palace from the bank of Chongshui, I felt that it was a bit ethereal and unreal, unlike any other building in the world.
Now I find it even more strange. As you can see, the structure of this palace has no gaps between the bricks and the wood. It’s like... the entire palace is one piece."
Speaking of this, Taoist Master Zengfan shook his head and said: "This is incredible."
At this time, Fei Fan hesitated and said to Taoist Zengfan: "Here, can we enter the palace?"
Taoist Master Zengfan gave a wry smile and said, "Look back and look at the bottom of the steps where we came from."
Everyone looked back without knowing what was going on, and couldn't help but be stunned. The small boat we came from unexpectedly disappeared out of thin air! The heavy water was faint and vast, but the black boat had disappeared without a trace.
All of us suddenly felt an infinite chill in our hearts. This was a conspiracy. The appearance and disappearance of the boat was to lead us to the palace.
What to do? Everyone turned their attention to Taoist Master Zengfan. At this time, she was quietly looking at the open vermilion door of the palace, without any expression on her face.
After a long time, Taoist Master Zengfan turned around and looked at us calmly and said, "Now that you have come, let's make peace with you. Let's go in and take a look."
Everyone looked at each other speechlessly and nodded. Reality has forced us to have no other choice.
So Taoist Master Zengfan walked in front, and everyone followed behind, walking towards the gate of the palace.
It was dark inside the palace, and we could only vaguely see that there seemed to be a lot of things hidden around us. When the last clerk and Pang Xiaotai stepped in, before we could turn on the flashlight, suddenly, the palace door opened silently.
It closed in an instant.
Everyone was shocked. Before they could do anything, the palace suddenly became brighter. It was the green light emitted by heavy water. Only then did everyone see clearly that countless lamps were burning throughout the palace.
There are countless bronze lamps of various shapes above the hall, on the four walls, and on the ground. The fuel in the lamps is actually blue heavy water!
We were stunned. At this moment, we felt like we were in a lake of heavy water. Everything around us was glowing with a faint green light. Everything was like an illusion, misty and unreal.
What surprised us even more was that except for these heavy water lamps, there were no facilities or objects in the entire palace. Except for a bluestone high platform in front of us, there were seven strange cyan transparent lamps placed on dozens of steps.
Seated human figure.
We walked forward cautiously, stood under the high platform and looked up to see the strange human-shaped seated statues. Only then did everyone see clearly that these seven cyan crystal sculptures were actually women with snake bodies and human heads, and their breasts were
She has double flesh, a slender neck, and a pair of human hands and arms. Her head is in a phoenix bun, her eyebrows are lowered, and her arms are raised apart, making a flower-like shape with her hands.
Pang Xiaotai asked in confusion after seeing it: "What is this? It has the body of a snake and the head of a human, or it's a woman."
Fei Fan glanced at him with disdain and said, "This is the statue of Nuwa. Have you never studied history?"
Pang Xiaotai smiled awkwardly and did not dare to say anything again.
At this time, Taoist Master Zengfan frowned and said, "There are seven statues of Nuwa in the main hall of this city of heavy water. What does this mean?"
Fei Fan said: "Worshiping Nuwa is in line with the custom of the ancient country of Nanzhao. Before I came, I checked the information and showed that many ethnic minorities such as the Miao and Dong in Yunnan, China, worship Nuwa as the ancestor of their own nation. However, this
The temple enshrines seven statues of Nuwa, and I can’t figure out what this means.”
Just as Fei Yifan finished speaking, a strange and clear sound of musical instruments suddenly came from nowhere. The sound was strange and sweet, like the sound of nature, which was intoxicating.
