Chapter 219 Chapter 78: The Mystery of the Maze

Young Master Liu said solemnly: "The first time I saw this palace from the bank of Chongshui, I felt that it was a bit ethereal and unreal, not like the buildings in the world. Now I feel even more strange. You can see, the structure of this palace , There is not a single gap between the bricks and wood, as if... the whole palace is one." Speaking of this, Young Master Liu shook his head and said, "This is incredible." At this time, Jia Zhuangyuan also hesitated and said to First Young Master Liu: "Here, can we enter the palace?" First Young Master Liu smiled bitterly and said, "Turn around and look at the bottom of the steps we came from."

Everyone looked back without knowing it, and couldn't help being dumbfounded. The boat when everyone came had disappeared out of thin air!The heavy water is faint and vast, but the black boat has disappeared without a trace. Everyone suddenly felt an infinite chill in their hearts.This is a conspiracy, the appearance and disappearance of the boat is to lead everyone to the front of the palace. what to do?Everyone turned their attention to First Young Master Liu.At this moment, he was quietly looking at the open vermilion gate of the palace, without any expression on his face. After a long time, First Young Master Liu turned around and looked at everyone spreading their hands calmly: "Since it's here, it's safe. Let's go in and have a look."

Everyone looked at each other speechlessly and nodded.The reality has forced everyone to have no other choice. So Young Master Liu walked in front, and everyone followed behind, walking towards the gate of the palace. The palace was pitch black, and everyone could only vaguely see that there seemed to be many things hidden in the surroundings.When the last Fan Debiao and Yang Weidong stepped in, before everyone turned on the flashlights, suddenly, the gate of the palace closed silently and instantly. Everyone was startled, and before they could make a move, the hall brightened up in an instant.It is the faint green light emitted by the heavy water.At this time, everyone could see clearly that countless lamps were lit in the entire palace. There were countless bronze lamps of various shapes on the top of the hall, on the four walls, and on the ground.And the fuel in the lamp turned out to be blue heavy water!

stunned.At this time, everyone seemed to be in a lake of heavy water, everything around them glowed with a faint blue light, everything was like an illusion, ethereal and unreal. What surprised everyone was that, apart from these heavy water lamps, there were no facilities or things in the whole palace, except that there was a bluestone high platform in front of everyone, and there were seven strange blue transparent stones placed on top of dozens of steps. seated human figure. Everyone walked forward cautiously, stood under the high platform and looked up at the strange humanoid sitting statue.Only then did everyone see clearly that the seven cyan crystal sculptures were all women with snake bodies and human heads, with breasts exposed, slender necks, and a pair of human hands and arms, with their heads held together. The phoenix is ​​in a bun, the eyebrows and eyes are drooping, the arms are separated and raised, and the hands are twisted into flowers.

After seeing it, Fan Debiao asked in confusion: "What is this? It's a snake with a human head, and it's still a woman." Jia Zhuangyuan looked at him contemptuously and said, "This is a statue of Nuwa, you kid, have you never studied history?" Fan Debiao smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to say anything more. At this time, Young Master Liu frowned and said, "There are seven statues of Nuwa gods in the main hall of the city of heavy water. What does this mean?" Jia Zhuangyuan said: "Worshiping Nuwa is in line with the customs of the Western Regions. Before I came, I checked the information and found that many ethnic minorities in China worship Nuwa as the ancestor of their own nation. However, this temple enshrines seven statues of Nuwa. Can't figure out what that means."

Just as Jia Zhuangyuan finished speaking, a strange and clear sound of a musical instrument suddenly came from nowhere. I don't know what kind of instrument this sound came from, and I don't know where it came from, but it seems to be ringing in everyone's ears. For a moment, everyone was a little overwhelmed, and even a little uneasy in their hearts, not knowing what kind of accident this sound would represent. Suddenly, Jia Zhuangyuan screamed: "Look! The eyes of these seven nuwas have been opened!" Everyone hurried to look at it, and sure enough, the eyes of the seven mysterious Nuwa statues that were originally low-browed and pleasing to the eye suddenly became bright and wide open, with an indescribably strange feeling.Suddenly, there was a chill in everyone's heart.

First Young Master Liu said hurriedly: "Everyone, be careful! Something will happen." As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Debiao suddenly said "Ouch", covered his head with his hands and shouted, "Who the hell hit me on the back of the head. It really hurts." When everyone rushed to see Fan Debiao, they saw him clutching the back of his head, shaking and suddenly fell down.Everyone was stunned, what attacked him? At this moment, Yang Weidong beside Fan Debiao also suddenly limp and fell to the ground without warning.Jia Zhuangyuan yelled: "Fucking ghosts! Everyone get together back to back."

The few remaining people in the hall hurriedly gathered up, leaning back to back tightly. First Young Master Liu flexed his fingers into a sword, touched the center of his eyebrows, and looked around nervously, but couldn't see anything.Immediately, he asked Jia Zhuangyuan in horror: "You said there is a ghost, where is it? Why can't I see it with my yin and yang eyes?" Jia Zhuangyuan also panted nervously and said, "I'm not sure if these things are ghosts or not. But they are absolutely invisible and we can't see them at all. You can see those heavy water lamps are swinging back and forth, which shows that What, it means that they are in the palace, and they are erratically waiting for an opportunity to attack us."

Everyone looked at the heavy water lamps, they were indeed swaying left and right.A ghost that can be invisible?First Young Master Liu felt chills in his heart, isn't this too outrageous? At this time, Jia Zhuangyuan said: "Do you still remember the incident when we just left the yin house and heard footsteps but couldn't see anything? I think there are ghosts. It's just that they didn't attack us at that time." First Young Master Liu said thoughtfully: "You mean, they have been following us all the time, and followed us into this palace?" Jia Zhuangyuan shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I think they have been waiting for us in the palace. Do you know why there is a strange sound of musical instruments in this palace? I think it is to cover up their footsteps." The sound. The seven statues of Nuwa gods suddenly opened their eyes, I think it is more like the activation of the agency news."

Cabbage caterpillar said: "Then what should we do now?" Jia Zhuangyuan sneered and said, "I don't know what these things are, but one thing is for sure, as long as we break the mechanism, they will reveal their flaws, such as the sound of footsteps." At this time, First Young Master Liu looked down at Fan Debiao and Yang Weidong who were lying motionless on the ground, and was horrified to find that black spots appeared on their faces. Young Young Master Liu hurriedly shouted: "Senior Jia, look at him What's the matter with the two of you, how come there are large black spots on your face."

Jia Zhuangyuan looked at it and said hurriedly: "Grandma's, this is corpse poison. I must save them immediately, or they will die!" At this time, everyone hurriedly moved close together to the two of them. Jia Zhuangyuan squatted down and raised Fan Debiao's head, while Liu Dashao and Cai Qingchong surrounded Jia Zhuangyuan's head with their bodies, so that To prevent the invisible ghost from attacking him secretly again. I heard Jia Zhuangyuan scolding: "There really is a ghost! They each have a blue corpse hair stuck on the back of their heads. However, this is strange, why would the ghost attack us with the hair of the corpse? Are ghosts and corpses two different things?" Jia Zhuangyuan scolded and asked questions behind everyone's body and finally pulled out the corpse hair for Fan Debiao and Yang Weidong, then applied ointment that could detoxify the corpse, took out two ropes, tied them around their wrists, and slowly stood up. At this time, the sound of musical instruments in the palace was still ringing non-stop, and the shadows of the heavy water lamps were shaking, indicating that there were those things still floating in the palace, always ready to attack everyone when they were not paying attention. Jia Zhuangyuan handed the rope to Caiqingchong and Liu Dashao and said: "Let's not care about what these things are now. It seems that they are just attacking the back of our heads. We must first solve the problem of the music. Everyone Pull Fan Debiao and Yang Weidong together to move to the high platform of the seven Nuwa statues, I will first find a way to break the mechanism, and then find a way to deal with those invisible things." Everyone responded, pulled the rope together, and dragged Fan Debiao and cabbage caterpillar in a coma to the high platform.Those invisible things also seemed to see everyone's intentions, they seemed to be chasing after everyone and kept circling around everyone, and the lamps around everyone shook very violently. At the bottom of the high platform, Jia Zhuangyuan suddenly let out a long laugh and said, "Grandma, you little devils, let you taste the gift from my old Jia." As he spoke, he put his hand into his backpack, took out a handful of glutinous rice and threw it into the surrounding air.There seemed to be some faint screams of "squeak" amidst the melodious music. Jia Zhuangyuan sneered with a triumphant "hehe" and said, "I'll deal with you brats after the mechanism is broken." After speaking, he jumped onto the high platform, turned around, and turned behind the cyan crystal Nuwa statue.The others were standing under the high platform at this time, watching back to back the erratic and vague air currents in the air. Everyone's eyes widened. They really wanted to see what these invisible things would look like, whether they were ghosts or something. other creatures. Everyone is hoping that Jia Zhuangyuan will find out the mechanism as soon as possible and crack it, otherwise these invisible ghosts will trap everyone here sooner or later. The gate of the palace is closed, and the heavy water boats outside are gone. The machinations of these invisible ghosts. Just when everyone was worried about Jia Zhuangyuan, suddenly, the music that had been lingering in the palace stopped abruptly, and everyone was overjoyed. It seemed that Jia Zhuangyuan had found the mechanism of the music and cracked it. Sure enough, the eyes of the seven Nuwa statues have returned to their original low eyebrows and pleasing eyes. Jia Zhuangyuan's laughing voice came from the high platform, and he turned out of the statue, spilled a handful of glutinous rice, jumped off the high platform quickly, and stood on the side of the crowd. The handful of glutinous rice seemed to have encountered something in the air, making a slight sound like collapsing beans, followed by a few screams. However, everyone did not hear the expected footsteps, and the swaying heavy water lanterns in the palace told everyone that these invisible things still existed.
