Chapter 720 In Yantian Palace

Chapter 720: In Yantian Palace

He carefully warned the middle-aged priest not to let Ao Buzun and the two dragon pythons get hurt at all, and also emphatically told Ao Buzun and the two dragon pythons not to cause trouble in his absence. He said a lot of nonsense, Wu Qi Only then did they actually enter the secret hall under the leadership of several white-clothed priests.

Just like Wu Qi's feeling from Yu's Babel Tower, the style inside Dayu's Secret Hall was gloomy, dark, and full of suffocating and depressing atmosphere. Walking along the long corridor, every step seemed to be stepping on history, and every step seemed to be stepping through the torrent of time. Wu Qi couldn't describe his mood. He only felt that everything was like a dream. How true.

There are countless patterns carved on the walls of the corridor along the way, many of which are stories that Wu Qi is familiar with. Seeing that Wu Qi was interested in these carved stories, the priests in white clothes explained the details of these stories to him with great interest.

From Pangu creating the world, to Emperor Wa creating human beings, to Dayu controlling the floods and slaying the world's monsters, all kinds of stories are very familiar to Wu Qi. But the stories told on these carved patterns are different from what Wu Qi knew, and the details are worth discussing.

Injecting into the story that Wu Qi knew about Pangu's creation of the world, Pangu was the first living being between heaven and earth. He created the world because of his loneliness. But the carving of Pangu opening the sky here puzzled Wu Qi - Pangu stood in a hazy mist, holding a big ax and stepping on a huge lotus. But in the distant mist, there was a faint There are countless people around, and they all seem to be watching the spectacular scene of Pangu opening up the world.

The story of Wahuang's creation of human beings is even more different. What Wu Qi knew was that Nuwa made a human shape according to his own appearance, mixing soil with innate water. But here, many ancient great sages used the essence and blood of countless divine beasts as materials, and smelted the essence and blood of all divine beasts and birds into one body with boundless magic power. Then they used the living soil as the foundation, and used the innate water to combine the breathing soil and the The fused essence and blood combined together to form a human form. What Emperor Wa did was to take out countless essences from a strange-shaped cauldron and integrate them into the human body.

The ancient great sages forged human bodies, and the Wahuang clan injected souls into human beings.

Vaguely, Wu Qi felt that this story was consistent with the records in some scattered ancient books circulated on the earth. In those records, Nuwa also created humans through seventy-two transformations, and she joined forces with the ancient gods to create humans.

As for the story of Dayu's flood control, Wu Qi was even more confused. In the historical records on earth, Dayu is the ancestor of the Xia Dynasty, but here, Dayu is one of the eighteen ancient meritorious emperors of the Dayu Dynasty. The flood he managed was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster caused by some tyrannical beings from outside the world that invaded the world created by the Great Sage Pangu.

Dayu's achievement was to lead the Dayu Dynasty, which had just taken shape at that time, to reorganize its armaments, and to join forces with the newly formed immortals to kill those foreign beings one by one.

Later, in order to suppress some tyrannical creatures in the outside world that could not be killed, Dayu took nine dragon veins from the Pangu Continent that were said to be transformed from the backbone of the Great Sage Pangu, and cast Jiuding to suppress those terrifying creatures.

Along the way, Wu Qi was dumbfounded. He vaguely felt that these things that were very different from the mythical stories he knew might be the truth of history! Dayu has been a country since ancient times, with various classics and documents well preserved, and there are institutions like the Secret Palace responsible for passing on this history. What these white-clothed priests say should be the real history.

Sighing softly, Wu Qi followed the white-clothed priests along the corridor. There were countless forked roads along the way. Each forked road was of the same height, length, and brightness, and there were countless soul restrictions on the road. Separated from the space, even with Wu Qi's current level of cultivation, even with his spiritual consciousness, he could not clearly remember the path these white-clothed priests had taken him.

All in all, they walked forward for more than two hours. With Wu Qi's and the others' leg strength and the various weird arrangements and teleportation arrays along the way, they were probably tens of thousands of miles away. Wu Qi wasn't even sure if he was still in the mountain behind the entrance just now, because there were dozens of teleportation arrays that seemed to him to have broken through the void at an extremely long distance, and he didn't know where he was.

After struggling for a long time, a moist pearly light suddenly shone in front of them. Wu Qi and the others walked out of the dark and depressing corridor and came to an ancient dark yellow copper door. It is surrounded by thick rocks, and thousands of fist-sized luminous pearls are inlaid on the top of the tall rocks, illuminating the small square with a radius of dozens of acres in front of the gate.

Countless star patterns were carved on the giant bronze door that was a hundred feet high. In front of this huge bronze door, dozens of priests, whose sleeves were trimmed with black patterns, sat neatly on the ground. These priests were like zombies, not breathing at all, and Wu Qi could not hear the sound of their heartbeats and blood flow. They should be living people, but they used some wonderful secret method to put themselves into a deep dormancy, really just like zombies in coffins.

After passing these priests, they came to the huge bronze door. A priest in white who led the way stretched out his hand and pressed a few stars on the bronze door. The bronze door, which was a hundred feet high and ten feet wide, slowly rose upwards. . A stream of cold air flowed out from behind the copper door, and there was a faint fragrance in the cold air. Wu Qi recognized that it was the smell of the 'blue-grained thousand-leaf grass' specially used to preserve bamboo slips and prevent them from rotting.

Looking up at the slowly rising bronze door, Wu Qi couldn't help but be speechless. This bronze gate is a hundred feet high and ten feet wide, but it is ten miles thick! Where is the door? It is clearly a copper pillar laid down horizontally, and it is densely covered with countless runes, and is also inlaid with a large number of tortoise shells, orbs, crystals, jade stones and other objects, all of which obviously have their own magical uses.

Several priests in white opened the door, but they did not go in. Instead, they motioned to Wuqi to let him go in alone.

On the other side of the portal, an old man wearing a white robe was already waiting there. The old man was nine feet tall, as tall and thin as a bamboo pole. The sleeves of his white robe were embroidered with six small Babel towers with black silk thread, and a large picture of stars was embroidered with light silver silk thread on his chest. Pattern. The six Tongtian Towers represent the strength of the old Tongtian High Priest, and his cultivation is enough to compete with the fourth-grade Taiyi. The star pattern on the chest indicates that the old man is majoring in the secrets of various formations such as the transformation of stars, etc. It also represents that the old man is a member of the secret palace Yantian Palace.

Among the star patterns on the old man's chest, the North Star near the Big Dipper is faintly golden. Wu Qi couldn't help but shrink his pupils when he saw this pattern. The North Star is so important in the celestial horoscope. This pale golden North Star pattern obviously represents the old man's status in the Yantian Palace.

A priest in white clothes beside him said in a low voice: "This is the master of Yuchen Palace, the first master of Yantian Palace."

Master of Yuchen Palace? The first master of Yantian Palace? A member of the yù family? A member of the Liangzhu yù family? Yuyi's face flashed instinctively in Wu Qi's mind. He nodded to the priests in white clothes around him, and then he was in front of Yuchen in a flash.

Yuchen, who was a head taller than Wu Qi, looked down at Wu Qi who was saluting him with clasped fists, and said calmly: "Yù Yi is my direct descendant Yun, yù Huai is my direct descendant, and yù Hu is my direct descendant. My grandson. Are you Tan Lang?"

Wu Qi looked at Yu Chen blankly. The current head of the Yu family in Zhongzhou, Yu Yi, was Yun Sun of Yu Chen?

yùchen, the son of yùchen, then the grandson, great-grandson, great-great-grandson, lai-grandson, 晜grandson, still-grandson, and yun-grandson. Should Wu Qi be amazed that Yuchen is too old, or should he be sad for Yuyi that he is too young? To Wu Qi, Yuyi is already a monster-level old man, but he is Yuchen's grandson! This seniority is really amazing.

Bowing respectfully to Yuchen, Wu Qi said in a deep voice, "Junior Tan Lang has met Elder Yuchen!"

A smile appeared on Yuchen's lips. He pointed at the bronze door behind Wu Qi, and the huge door fell silently. He turned around and said in a low voice: "Follow me. Your Majesty is a little too stingy to let you choose three volumes of formation diagram books at will. Hey, if you really understand the Tao of Formation, I will take away all the books in Yantian Palace So what if I give you a copy of all the classics?"

With a cold snort, Yuchen clasped his hands behind his back and said proudly: "If you are an idiot for the Divine Seal Throne and can't even pass my test, even if there is His Majesty's will, you will never get any benefit from the Yantian Palace."

Yuchen wants to test his formation cultivation? Wu Qi smiled slightly and said a little reservedly and cautiously: "But it's up to you."

Following Yuchen, he walked quickly and followed the corridor for hundreds of miles underground. A huge underground space appeared in front of him. Countless palaces were built neatly in a space with a radius of more than a thousand miles and a height of tens of miles. All the palaces have a general appearance, suspended in mid-air according to the star map of the sky, and Qi is slowly wandering around in mid-air with the changes in the starry sky.

All the palaces here are the same in size and appearance. If an outsider comes here, they will be confused and unable to find which one of these palaces is the key place of Yantian Palace.

On the rock walls around this space, countless small grottoes that can only fit in are dug densely. In some of the grottoes, priests in white clothes of different ages are sitting cross-legged, holding abacus and other items in their hands. Calculation tools are calculating something.

There was no noise at all in the huge space. Only occasionally, when the arithmetic tools in the hands of some priests collided with each other, or other tools such as tortoise shells and yù boards were thrown around by these priests, would there be a few crisp sounds.

In addition to the priests who were in seclusion on the rock walls, under the countless floating palaces, on the flat ground, there were also a large group of priests gathering together, using jù stone carving knives to draw random things on the ground. . At a glance, there are countless priests in white robes sketching various formations and horoscopes on the plains with a radius of thousands of miles.

Yuchen turned around and looked at Wu Qi. With a weird smile, he said in a low voice: "I will find three opponents for you. They are all formation masters who are apprentices of Yantian Palace. If you can win in the formation, If you pass them, I will personally make a copy of all the classics in Yantian Palace and give it to you!"

With a strange laugh, Yuchen tilted his head and snorted: "If you lose, I will beat you all the way out of here. Can any trash waste my time?"

Wu Qi paused for a moment, then said with a smile: "Just follow the old man!"

If even the apprentices of Yantian Palace could not defeat him, Wu Qi would really have no shame in living.
