2026. Thousand-Year-Old Palace 4
Soon, Leng Xuan saw a huge statue in front of the Ghost Palace, which was the symbol of the Holy Gate that Longtou had described. I saw the pyramid-like object sitting on the ground, with four interconnected arches in the middle, and above it was a round object like the sun. The people in the Ghost Palace stood next to the object for a long time, walking around it from time to time. After about half an hour, I saw them walking into the arch. After more than ten people entered the arch, there was no movement.
Although Leng Xuan was confused, he did not dare to investigate easily. After a while, seeing that there was still no movement there, he stood up and approached the statue. When he arrived near the statue, he immediately walked into the arch. However, the arch was empty, nothing. At this time, Longtou and others also galloped over. When they saw Leng Xuan coming out of the arch, they couldn't help but ask: "Where are they?" Leng Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "They are gone."
"Gone?" Longtou frowned, and then walked into the arch. Not long after, he came out and wondered: "They clearly walked in, how come they didn't see anyone?" Ling Tian on the side said: "This should be an organic secret passage. They were wandering around this statue just now. After waiting for so long, they must be looking for a way to open the mechanism." Leng Xuan sighed: "They have clues and know how to find them, but we don't know anything, so what should we do?"
The leader said: "What else can we do? We are all here, why can't we go back home? Everyone, let's look around. Now we can only live and die as doctors. Let's see if we can find any clues." After his words, Leng Xuan and several others immediately surrounded the statue and observed it carefully. This was the case for the people in the Ghost Palace before, so the method to open this mechanism is probably on this statue. I saw that this pyramid-shaped statue is composed of countless small squares, densely arranged together, and upward layer by layer. Leng Xuan reached out and touched the small cubes, and found that the places he touched were extremely cold, like winter ice. He took out the Dragon Subduing Staff and struck it, but it didn't leave any trace. He couldn't help being surprised and didn't know what material it was made of.
Long Qiu, who was on the side, saw Leng Xuan's expression and immediately understood his doubts. He smiled and explained: "Brother Leng, this should be the legendary cold iron stone. It is said that the cold iron stone is very precious and can only be found under those special cold springs. It can be conceived, and the number of cold iron stones in each cold spring is not very large, so this kind of thing is extremely precious. In the past, many cultivators used this cold iron stone to build secret rooms, because this stone is not only hard, but also able to resist spells. It’s just that , Nowadays, this kind of cold iron stone has become increasingly rare. I also saw a cultivator possessing this kind of stone by chance before. Tsk tsk, Yan Chengfeng is indeed the master of the Shengtian Sect. It really is Such a generous move.”
Leng Xuan nodded his head in a learned way. Looking at the cold iron stones in his eyes, he couldn't help but feel his heartbeat. It was a pity to leave such a good thing here. It would be great if he could take some out. Unfortunately, he had already tried it just now, and there was no way he could get the cold iron stone off. At this time, I heard the leader calling over there: "Come here quickly, there is a line of writing here." After hearing this, Leng Xuan and the others rushed over. I saw a line of small words carved on one side of the statue, which read 'The sun rises in the east, the beginning of all things'.
