Chapter 2604 Entering the Underground Palace
2604
"Do you know the name of the god?" Xu Taiping suddenly asked.
Everyone in the car who had their eyes closed opened their eyes, and then looked at Xu Taiping with evil expressions.
"The God is the apostle of Amaterasu in the human world. His name cannot be known to ordinary people like you and me." said an Onmyoji.
"Then it seems you don't know either!" Xu Taiping said.
Several onmyojis looked indifferent, and no one answered.
Xu Taiping smiled and said nothing more.
The car kept moving forward, and it took more than an hour for the car to stop.
All the onmyoji got out of the car one after another, and Xu Taiping also got out of the car behind them.
As soon as I got off the car, a cold wind blew.
Xu Taiping looked forward. Directly in front of him was a very high snow-capped mountain.
This snow-capped mountain is a very famous scenic spot in Jiaoben Country, called Mount Fuji.
Xu Taiping and others were at the foot of Mount Fuji at this time.
"Mr. Xu, come with me!" The god not far away said to Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping nodded, walked to Tianshen's side, and then followed Tianshen to Mount Fuji.
Several Onmyoji also followed, but as for those driving the carriage, they all stayed where they were.
"Why don't you find a few more people? There is strength in numbers." Xu Taiping said.
"No more than ten people can enter the Yin-Yang Underground Palace. You, me, and seven Onmyojis make it nine." The god said.
"Isn't there another position?" Xu Taiping asked.
"The people in that position have already gone to the underground palace entrance to wait for us." God said.
"That's it!" Xu Taiping suddenly realized.
Several people walked into Mount Fuji, but instead of climbing up, they walked along the mountain. After walking for a long time, a crack appeared on the ground in front of them.
This crack is very long and narrow, and it gets darker as it goes down, and is bottomless.
"Go down about a hundred meters from here to the entrance of the underground palace. Remember when going down, you must put your back against the wall, support your legs on the other wall, and let your body descend at a constant speed. Don't fall. Once you fall, the gods will save you. I can’t help you!” God said.
The Onmyoji brought by the gods nodded calmly, as if they already knew there was such a gap.
This was the first time that Xu Taiping knew that there was such a gap under Mount Fuji. He looked down at the gap and said, "Why have I never heard of such a gap under Mount Fuji before?"
"This gap only appeared after the earthquake some time ago." God explained.
"I see, if there were no earthquakes, wouldn't the underground palace never see the light of day?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Well, maybe! Let's go, Mr. Xu!" God said.
Xu Taiping nodded, and then followed the god into the gap.
The way down is actually not difficult, as long as you keep your legs straight and your back against the wall.
The group of people kept going down, and finally arrived at a position more than a hundred meters above the ground.
There is basically no light here. If you raise your head, you can only see a very inconspicuous white line in the far distance.
Suddenly, an open door appeared on the wall in front of Xu Taiping and the others.
This door is embedded in the wall, and there are many pictures in the style of the Foot Basin Country painted on the door.
"This is it!" God said, entering directly through the door.
Xu Taiping and others also followed and entered the door.
Behind the door is a passage that is more than one meter wide, two meters high, and very long.
Xu Taiping and others walked forward along the passage. After walking for about a hundred meters, the space in front of them suddenly became larger.
A space of about one hundred square meters and four to five meters high appeared in front of them, and in this space, a woman was already waiting here.
"Yingzi!" Xu Taiping shouted in surprise when he saw the other party.
"Xu Sang!" Miyamoto Sakura smiled and nodded to Xu Taiping.
"This tenth person is you!" Xu Taiping said.
"Yes, Xu Sang!" Miyamoto Sakura said.
"Are you also an Onmyoji?" Xu Taiping asked.
"No, but I'm trying to become an onmyoji!" Miyamoto Sakura said.
"Sakura has the potential to become a powerful onmyoji, so I specially asked her to come and experience it. To become an onmyoji, rich experience is essential." Tianshen said.
"Thank you, Lord Tenjin." Miyamoto Sakura bowed.
"Okay, get ready to go!" God said as he walked towards a door directly in front. Then, God took out a key from his pocket, inserted it into the door, and turned it.
Clang clang clang!
The door opened slowly, and the god took the lead and walked in.
Xu Taiping also walked in behind Tianshen.
When everyone walked behind the door, the door slowly closed.
After a few clicks, all the lights behind the door came on.
Xu Taiping looked around and found that he was in a room.
The room was about two hundred square meters, with a table in the middle.
An Onmyoji walked straight to the table.
When the Onmyoji stood on the stage, suddenly, the ground of the entire room shook slightly, and then densely packed sharp iron thorns shot out from the walls of the room.
These iron thorns are very fast and there are many of them.
However, no matter how fast they are, they can never be too fast!
Xu Taiping's figure flashed across the room.
The next moment, pieces of iron thorns fell to the ground.
This iron thorn is enough to tie a person into a hornet's nest, but it didn't hurt anyone here.
"Thank you!" God said.
Xu Taiping smiled and said nothing more.
The onmyoji standing on the table in the middle of the room picked up a bag and put it on the table, then took out a brush and a jar from the bag.
There was some red liquid in the jar. The onmyoji dipped the red brush into the red liquid, then took out the brush and melted it on the table.
"What are you doing?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Unlock." God said.
"Unlocked?" Xu Taiping was stunned for a moment, and then he saw the Onmyoji suddenly raised his hand and slapped it on the table in front of him.
Clang!
There was a crisp sound, and a hole suddenly opened in the wall not far away.
"Let's go!" God said, walking towards the opening.
Xu Taiping quickly followed and asked, "Then this Onmyoji can only stay here for now?"
"Yes, it takes seven onmyojis to unlock all the doors of the Seventh Layer Palace!" God said.
"This is quite impressive!" Xu Taiping nodded.
After a group of people walked through a long corridor, they entered another room.
This room is still very large, more than 200 square meters, and there is a platform in the middle of the house.
An Onmyoji walked straight to the stage.
When he stood in front of the stage, there was no movement.
Just when Xu Taiping thought he could pass through this room easily...
Suddenly, the ground cracked open without any warning.
This sudden crack in the ground caught people off guard. Two Onmyoji were unlucky enough to be standing on the crack, and they fell directly into the crack.
Just as the two of them were about to disappear in front of everyone, Xu Taiping's figure flashed past and rushed into the cracks in the ground.
The next moment, Xu Taiping jumped out of the crack in the ground with a person in one hand.
When Taiping's body fell to the ground, the cracks closed again.
If Xu Taiping hadn't rescued the two of them, they would probably have died without a burial place.
The two looked at each other, both seeing fear in each other's eyes.
"Thank you!" The two of them bowed to Xu Taiping with his hands folded.
Xu Taiping waved his hand, and then said to the god, "You said that Master Abe is also strange. Why did he build an underground palace? Why did he put all his life's learning in the underground palace?"
"Master Abe has not found a reliable apprentice to pass on his mantle throughout his life, so he built this underground palace and left his own inheritance. As long as someone can pass through the seven-layered palace in front and enter the final two realms palace, whoever can To become his inheritor, one of the functions of the underground palace is to protect his inheritance, and the other is to select the inheritors. Those who are not strong enough will die on the way, and only those who are truly strong can finally enter the Two Realms Palace." God said .
"Then if you ask me to help, is it speculation?" Xu Taiping asked.
"As long as you can enter the Two Realms Palace, any method is allowed." God said.
"If that's the case, why not find hundreds of excavators to excavate directly from above? Isn't this simpler?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Mount Fuji is an active volcano with frequent geological activities. Mining of any kind is strictly prohibited here," Tenjin said.
"I see, no wonder that Master Abe built the underground palace in something like this!" Xu Taiping suddenly realized.
"We are now in the second level of the underground palace. The first two levels are very simple. The third level is more difficult from the beginning. You must pay attention!" God said.
"It should be no problem to keep you safe!" Xu Taiping said.
"Thank you for your hard work!" God nodded to Xu Taiping.
At this moment, the onmyoji standing in front of the stage also successfully unlocked the door to the next palace.
Likewise, there was a crack in the wall.
Everyone continued to move forward and soon entered the third level palace.
This third-level palace is the same as the previous two-level palace, with a platform in the middle.
Xu Taiping finally understood. Every subsequent palace should have a platform in the middle. The platform is the switch that opens the next door. It is also the switch that triggers the mechanism. If you want to open the next door, you must stand on it. In front of the stage, and this will inevitably trigger the mechanism.
In other words, you have to deal with every mechanism in the palace!
This really leaves no room for cheating or stealing!
Xu Taiping took a deep breath and concentrated his attention. Although he was strong enough, he still had to protect others. God had helped him before, and he couldn't let God's trip go in vain.
