Chapter 123: Inside the Dragon's Belly
Someone actually built a palace in the body of the real dragon. This is a big project. Not to mention how difficult it is to hollow out a giant dragon, it is Guixu after all. The huge suction force generated by the bottomless abyss, as well as the interference of various turbulences, and the pressure of sea water. Even Qi Xuansu is very difficult to deal with, let alone the construction of a project in such an environment.
Then there is only one possibility. The dragon died outside, and the palace was also built outside, and then moved here and threw it into Guixu.
I think it was this person who took the dragon's dragon ball.
Who has such a method?
As for the giant dragon, it is not surprising that it is so huge. The dragon can be big or small, and can rise or hide; if it is big, it will prosper and spit out mist, and if it is small, it will hide its shape; if it is rising, it will fly between the universe, and if it is hidden, it will lurk in the waves.
If the dragon had not shown such a huge true body, even larger than Guixu and was just stuck, it would have been sucked into it by the bottomless abyss below Guixu early on.
This also leads to a problem, Qi Xuansu basically cannot take the giant dragon out of Guixu.
Now it seems that the mystery is probably still in the palace inside the dragon's body.
Qi Xuansu glanced at the "Guizang Lantern" in Xiao Yin's hand, and saw that there was nothing abnormal, so he jumped into the big hole.
This cave is about ten feet high, and it is not small. It is more than enough for ordinary dragons to enter and exit. For the body of a giant dragon comparable to a mountain, this cave cannot be considered small, and it is a big cave that can be seen at a glance.
After Qi Xuansu entered it, he found that the pressure of the sea water, the chaotic ocean currents, and the suction of Guixu were mostly isolated by an invisible force. Although it still exists, it is already valuable in this environment. I don’t know if it is the magic brought by the remains of the dragon, or if someone has specially set up a formation.
Qi Xuansu took Xiao Yin through the location where the Dragon Ball should be, and continued to go deeper, as if walking in the corridor of a huge tomb. When I was outside, I just glanced at it with a glance. Due to angles and other issues, I only saw a little bit of a claw and didn't see the whole picture. As Qi Xuansu gradually penetrated into it, I could finally see it clearly.
This is not a palace group, there is only one main hall and two side halls. What he saw outside was the corner of the side hall. Oriental buildings love wooden structures, so the closer they are, the smaller the buildings are. Because of the lack of large materials, it takes time for trees to become timber. On the contrary, the longer the age, the more large materials they are, the more majestic the palace becomes.
In the witch era, stone was mainly used and wood was not favored.
These three palaces are mainly made of wood and reinforced by talismans, which is much more magnificent than the imperial palace in the imperial capital.
At first glance, Qi Xuansu felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, which seemed familiar, but when he saw it, Qi Xuansu couldn't say where he had seen it.
However, Qi Xuansu was sure that this was definitely not the current Taoist sect's work, nor the style of the witch sect, and it should not have been built by Yao Yueyan.
Surrounded by the three halls is the flesh and blood of the dragon. Even if the real dragon is dead, it still remains undestroyed, but becomes like a rock.
To Qi Xuansu's surprise, Xiao Yin did not show any coveting expressions. Qi Xuansu also asked extra, and Xiao Yin said that he did not eat rotten meat.
Only there is a square in front of the main hall.
There was a figure in the square, sitting cross-legged, with his back facing Qi Xuansu. Judging from his hair and clothes, he should be an ancient Taoist priest.
I saw the Taoist priest wearing an apricot yellow Taoist robes, never wearing a crown, but just tied his hair with a jade hairpin. His clothes floated freely with the sea water, and there was no sign of decay. It can be seen that it was not an ordinary person. He was holding a whisk in his arms, and the silver thread was broken halfway. It can be seen that the Taoist priest experienced a great battle and did not end in failure.
I don’t know if this Taoist priest built this palace, nor if the death of this Taoist priest was related to the true dragon. However, the huge remains of the true dragon’s death became a shelter for the Taoist priests, so that he would not be sucked into Guixu and would not have to withstand the erosion of the fierce currents.
After the chaotic currents were gone, Xiao Yin simply sat on Qi Xuansu's shoulder, staring at the old Taoist priest tightly, and his nose moved slightly: "Old Qi, I smelled the corpse gas."
With Qi Xuansu's "Water Technique", normal communication is not hindered, and there is no need to use means such as "his heartache".
Generally speaking, Yin Qi does not equal corpse Qi. Although the two have many similarities, for professionals like Xiao Yin who grew up in the cave heaven of the Ghost Kingdom, there is still a big difference.
Simply put, if the Yin Qi is added to the corpse, it will change into corpse energy. The Yin Qi is more pure and the corpse energy is more turbid. This phenomenon of Yin Qi entering the body and producing corpse energy is called "corpse transformation" by the Taoist sect.
The next moment, the Taoist priest sitting cross-legged suddenly rose up, and the whisk in his hand turned into a hundred feet long, like a silver giant python, sweeping towards Qi Xuansu.
Although Qi Xuansu does not have the powerful weapon of "Three or Five Male and Female Sword to Cut Evil", there is a "Shadow Gang Dissociation Divine Blade". As Qi Xuansu becomes an immortal, his power will naturally rise to the next level. Qi Xuansu just waved his hand and slashed out a line of shadow, and cut off the fierce "Silver Python" in half.
Qi Xuansu waved his sleeve again and flew out of the "Eternal Life Stone" from the sleeve. In the face of the Taoist priest, he beat the Taoist priest to his brain and his corpse energy scattered, so he could not move and fell to the ground with a bang.
Whether it is Guixu or the sea eye, the reason why it is bottomless is that it can directly reach the underworld, so there will be yin energy. It happens that there is a corpse located here, and it will naturally be eroded by the yin energy over time, which will eventually lead to the corpse transformation.
If Qi Xuansu is in the pseudo-immortal stage, it will have to be a little bit of trouble. Now Qi Xuansu has become an immortal, ending the 49-day transformation, and has made great progress in cultivation, and has more immortal objects such as "Eternal Life Stone".
If someone else controls the "Eternal Life Stone", it is impossible to operate as wishful as Qi Xuansu, and is like an arm.
With the superposition of various conditions, Qi Xuansu's understatement at this time was caused.
Qi Xuansu walked to the headless corpse and found that the corpse under the Taoist robes had grown into armor-like objects, as if transforming into copper armor corpses. Unfortunately, when he met Qi Xuansu, the true immortal, everything was futile.
If you want Qi Xuansu to feel troublesome, it is almost the same to replace it with a golden armored corpse. However, the conditions for forming the golden armored corpse are too harsh. Generally, it must be the king of the deceased country, with the blessing of the last dragon energy, and then buried in the most yin place, where it may be formed.
The key is that people from the Three Deeds will not sit idly by. Even if these conditions are met, it will take time and are easily interrupted in the middle.
Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu felt something was wrong again, so he reached out to peel off the Taoist priest's robes and carefully observed the "armor" on the corpse again.
As we all know, the so-called bronze ware is actually the result of rust of the bronze ware, so it appears green. The normal copper ware is brass-colored, and the same is true for copper armor corpses, so it is quite similar to gold.
If Qi Xuansu had preconceived the idea that he was a copper armored corpse, then there was indeed a possibility of admitting his mistake.
Qi Xuansu was still a little uncertain and patted Xiao Yin's knee: "Xiao Yin, please help me see."
Xiao Yin jumped off Qi Xuansu's shoulder, walked around the body with his hands on his back.
"How do you say it?" Qi Xuansu asked.
Xiao Yin spit out two words: "Alloy."
Qi Xuansu said: "Don't just use a new word from Tianji Hall and talk well."
Xiao Yin said: "It's hard to say, but it's really hard to say."
Qi Xuansu asked in confusion: "How could it be both copper armor and golden armor?"
Xiao Yin jumped on Qi Xuansu's shoulder and sat down, saying, "It's just that dragon energy can give birth to golden armor, which is what grandpa said."
Qi Xuansu said: "The true dragon blood qi and the earth vein dragon qi are two different things, and they cannot be generalized."
Xiao Yin reached out and pushed Qi Xuansu's head, making him tilt his head so that he could sit more comfortably. He said, "I don't know."
Qi Xuansu was really spoiled by her, so she kept tilting her head. If Zhang Yuelu saw this, she would have to scold the two of them. It would be better to ride on her neck.
Qi Xuansu thoughtfully said: "Where is the source of the dragon energy? Is this old Taoist priest the last emperor? There have been many emperors who have always admired Taoism, but few people who really claim to be Taoism, mainly from the Dajin and the Dawei dynasties, such as Emperor Mingyong of the Dawei Emperor Shizong. This Guixu appeared in the late years of Dapei, which was the era of the Yellow Turban Uprising. How could an emperor proclaim himself Taoist priest?"
Xiao Yin said: "Since this Taoist priest is not an emperor, then the dragon energy comes from outside. Will there be jade seals or something?"
I have to say that Xiao Yin has read a lot of words, which is somewhat useful.
Qi Xuansu shook his head and said, "I have seen it just now. There is no such thing. But one thing is certain that this place is indeed related to the three emperors. After all, the dynasties established by those three emperors are very short-lived. It seems that our speculation is correct. This should be the sealed place of 'Huang Tian'."
Xiao Yin stretched out his hand and pointed to the hall: "Go away."
Qi Xuansu came to the front of the hall. From the surface, there were originally many talismans used for sealing on the exterior wall, but they had been cracked, so the hall was in a state of wide open doors at this time.
When Qi Xuansu pushed the door open, what caught his eye was a magnificent scene of immortals. However, because the golden lamps hanging in the hall had been extinguished and the light was a little dim, it became dark. Not only did it no longer have the magnificent immortal style, but it showed a dead and cold ghost domain.
The dome of the hall was shaped into a vast starry sky, and the light of countless "stars" formed a thin layer of light mist. However, the starlight was cold, and even if there were many, it added a little coldness to people.
Under the star map, there is a thing similar to a sundial. There are Bagua engraved on the stone plate of the sundial. As the star map changes, the shadows on the sundial also move, corresponding to the eight gates of the Bagua respectively.
This is clearly the Yin-Yang Hall pattern that seals the "Cangtian" in the Yunshen Cave Heaven. No wonder Qi Xuansu felt familiar from the beginning.
The only difference is that there are various murals of the Yellow Turban Uprising on the surrounding walls.
If this palace was built by people from the ancient Taiping Road, then people from the ancient Taiping Road would definitely not deliberately delete their own murals. From this, it is more likely that another group of people who do not recognize the ancient Taiping Road used the ancient Taiping Road method to seal the "Huang Tian" according to the gourd.
