Chapter 221 Chapter 80: Temple of the Firmament

When everyone heard this, they stopped chewing, and looked up at Jia Zhuangyuan, and saw Jia Zhuangyuan said excitedly: "Everyone said that in terms of the architecture of a palace, what is the most important composition of the main body?" Seeing everyone looking at him blankly, Jia Zhuangyuan explained: "That is to say, what does the main building of a palace need to support?" Young Master Liu said with a stir in his heart, "It's the pillars. Most ancient palaces were supported by many pillars." Jia Zhuangyuan smiled and said, "That's right, it's the pillars. As soon as I entered this hall, I felt something strange. Now I want to understand that there are no supporting pillars in this hall!"

Cabbage caterpillar turned and asked, "So what?" Jia Zhuangyuan said with confidence: "There is no pillar, which shows a problem. There is a problem with the dome of this palace." Everyone raised their heads in doubt and looked at the top of the deep and dark palace.Jia Zhuangyuan went on to say: "The general area of ​​this palace building cannot be small, so the dome will not be small either. If there are no supporting columns, the dome cannot go through thousands of years without any collapse. This shows that either the material used for the dome of this palace is It is extremely special, or the dome is supported by some kind of force. I am inclined to the second possibility."

First Young Master Liu looked at him in disbelief and said, "Senior Jia, what do you mean...there are invisible pillars or other things supporting the huge dome above?" Jia Zhuangyuan nodded and said, "Not bad." Fan Debiao murmured at this moment: "This is too...too unbelievable?" Jia Zhuangyuan smiled and said: "What do you know? There are many things in this world that cannot be explained. More than ten years ago, a few companions and I saw it in a large tomb hundreds of meters deep in Shaanxi. An underground palace that is bigger than this palace, there is no pillar support in that underground palace. Later, something in the underground palace was moved, and a certain mechanism of the underground palace was activated. Guess what we saw? We actually saw four golden lights The real dragon is touching the dome of the underground palace with its head up and its tail down."

What Jia Zhuangyuan said made everyone dumbfounded and unbelievable. Jia Zhuangyuan didn't care too much, he stood up and gave everyone a weird smile, then took out a crossbow-like thing from his backpack, and said, "Let you see my real skills, old Jia. There is definitely a mechanism, I will find it for you.” As he spoke, he aimed the crossbow-like thing in his hand at the dome of the palace, and pulled the mechanism, only to hear a soft "swish", and a long black line shot upwards from the crossbow, and a "boom" seemed to Pinned to something.Jia Zhuangyuan pulled the crossbow with his left hand, and with his right hand, he took out a fire pocket from his bosom and blew it on, and then seemed to press a mechanism on the crossbow, and the crossbow led Jia Zhuangyuan up to the dome quickly.

Under the bright light of Huozhezi, everyone looked up and saw Jia Zhuangyuan climbed onto the extremely thick beam in the middle of the dome, and then the human figure suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight in a flash, leaving only a little Huozhezi A faint light flickered. First Young Master Liu thought that he must have seen something on the beam of the dome, and crawled into the shadow of the beam.Everyone down below was a little worried. If Jia Zhuangyuan encountered any danger up there alone, there was no way for everyone to rescue him.The only thing everyone can do now is to shine their flashlights on the dome, trying to give him as much light as possible.

After about ten minutes, everyone just saw the faint light of Huozhezi constantly moving in direction, confirming Jia Zhuangyuan's actions. Just when everyone felt that their heads were raised and their necks were about to ache, they heard Jia Zhuangyuan's excited voice from the dome: "Grandma, I finally found the mechanism." Then, I saw him poking his head down from above. Lai shouted: "Hey, come up, someone, help me. This way... let the young master come up." As he spoke, he dropped the crossbow-like thing in his hand, and the black thread on the crossbow was still firmly nailed to the girder of the dome.After Young Master Liu took the crossbow, Jia Zhuangyuan poked his head and said, "Young Master, you press the white button on the crossbow, hold the crossbow body firmly, and it will bring you up."

First Young Master Liu agreed, grasped the body of the crossbow tightly with his right hand, and then pressed the button. Sure enough, the crossbow took him up quickly as if it was automatically reeling in, and soon came under the girder . Jia Zhuangyuan stretched out his hand and pulled Young Master Liu onto the girder.Then he waved to him, turned around and crawled forward along the girder.First Young Master Liu looked down, feeling dizzy for a while, but still bit the bullet and slowly supported the beam with fear, and crawled forward behind him. Fortunately, the girder is very thick, and its diameter is just enough for a person to crawl slowly, but you have to be very careful if you want to turn around.

However, Young Master Liu followed Jia Zhuangyuan and finally climbed to the junction of the dome and a wall. Jia Zhuangyuan stopped and said, "Young Master, look up at the colored glaze and patterns on the dome." First Young Master Liu raised his head and looked up. The dome in between was made of blue colored glass, inlaid with twelve huge white beads, and all kinds of strange lines were drawn with yellow colors around the beads. The pattern appears to be an astrological map of the sky. Jia Zhuangyuan said again: "Young Master, look at what is on this wall?" Liu Dashao looked in Jia Zhuangyuan's direction, and there were twelve inlaid dome and this wall. Smaller white beads.It's just that there are grooves connecting them. It seems that the beads should be able to move freely in the criss-cross grooves.

Jia Zhuangyuan said: "I think this is the hidden mechanism of this palace. Only when the twelve beads are placed in the correct position in the groove, can we unlock the real secret of this palace." First Young Master Liu smiled wryly and said, "Senior Jia, what can you do if you come to me to help you? I don't understand astrology, and I don't understand mechanisms." Jia Zhuangyuan said with a "hehe" smile, "I just want you to come up and help me calm down. I know how to look at my face. Judging by my face, you are a person with deep blessings. You don't have the appearance of dying, as long as you are by my side." , I can safely and boldly operate this star camera.”

Young Master Liu was dumbfounded by Jia Zhuangyuan's hard-to-distinguish words. It turned out that he asked himself to come up just to see how he looked so he could feel at ease.Young Master Liu cursed inwardly: Grandma, take me as a lucky general.In case there is a problem with the agency, wouldn't I want to bury you with you? Just as he was thinking, Jia Zhuangyuan turned around and looked at the astrology camera on the wall, then turned back with a smirk and said to First Young Master Liu, "Are you scolding me in your heart? But you must be a blessed person in the future, believe me I'm not lying to you..."

Just as he was talking, his smile suddenly disappeared from his face, and then he made a weird winking movement at First Young Master Liu, and then suddenly looked behind him.Young Master Liu was puzzled at first, then suddenly felt a chill on his back, and a layer of goosebumps appeared on his skin.He suddenly understood that something must have happened behind him. At this time, a thin sigh came from behind First Young Master Liu, like the sigh of a sad woman waiting for her lover to appear.Young Master Liu suddenly felt his back become stiff. Could it be that there is a female ghost behind him? He didn't dare to move, feeling a cold sweat drenching his whole body.At this moment, a bone-chilling chill seemed to approach his back, and a cold hand was placed on his left shoulder. Young Master Liu suddenly felt a sense of shattering fear. Just when he was about to make a move, Jia Zhuangyuan saw his intention and hurriedly shouted: "Don't look back!" First Young Master Liu froze there for a moment, and his heart became a mess.At this time, I felt that the female ghost behind her seemed to be slowly approaching her neck with her face. Could it be that she was going to bite herself?Or suck our blood?Seeing Jia Zhuangyuan's facial expression, First Young Master Liu seemed to be in a hurry, but he was lying on the girder and couldn't turn his body back, so he couldn't help. First Young Master Liu suddenly lost his mind, I was about to be bitten on the neck by that female ghost, anyway, death is worse than a fight.So he slammed his head with strength, and slammed it back fiercely, feeling dizzy and extremely painful for a while, as if he had hit a piece of cold ice. And following this collision, Young Master Liu heard a shrill scream behind him. The female ghost didn't seem to have thought that Young Master Liu would come to this trick. The ghost claw on the shoulder also loosened all of a sudden. First Young Master Liu took advantage of the opportunity to kick back with his right foot, and felt that he was kicking firmly on something hard behind him, when he heard a more miserable scream and made a long sound, he closed his eyes and slammed He turned around and punched out, but to Young Master Liu's surprise, he hit nothing. At this moment, First Young Master Liu heard the sound of a heavy object falling from a height.He opened his eyes and saw that the female ghost was gone. First Young Master Liu hurriedly lay down on the girder, shook his head in severe pain, grabbed the girder and looked down.I saw the companions on the ground holding guns, looking a little terrified, and watching from a distance around a humanoid thing lying on the ground with a dark body.He hissed softly, it was really an accident that the female ghost was thrown to death. First Young Master Liu turned his face to look angrily at Jia Zhuangyuan, who had lingering fears on his face. Seeing Young Young Master Liu's angry face, he couldn't help but blushed in embarrassment and said, "Young Young Master...look...I don't know that the dome There is such a thing hidden on it, I said... I just said that you are a person with profound blessings, right?" Before Young Master Liu could speak, he heard the cabbage caterpillar shouting from below: "Mr. Jia, Young Master, are you all right? What is this thing that fell to the ground?" Jia Zhuangyuan hurriedly shouted down with his characteristic high-pitched voice: "We are both fine, the young master and I are fine. The one who fell down was a black corpse, which was beaten down by the heroic young master Liu." .” When First Young Master Liu heard this, he was both angry and funny. He helplessly looked at Jia Zhuangyuan who was smiling at him cunningly, and shook his head that was still aching and dizzy. At this time, Fan Debiao's voice came from below again: "Mr. Jia, didn't you say you found the agency? How is it?" Jia Zhuangyuan said: "I found the mechanism, and it's relatively complicated. I'll ask the young master to help me solve it together." After finishing speaking, he turned his face and said to Young Master Liu with a serious expression: "Boy, I'm going to start breaking the mechanism, you help me keep watch." Then he turned around and began to study the twelve beads and grooves. Astrological patterns go up. First Young Master Liu smiled wryly to himself, temporarily put aside the resentment towards him in his heart, and concentrated on watching how he could crack the star camera mechanism. Jia Zhuangyuan's face was a bit dignified, his eyes were fixed on the grooves and beads on the wall, he held the fire folder in his left hand, and raised his right hand in mid-air, hesitating for a long time and dared not make a move.As time passed, First Young Master Liu could see some glistening beads of sweat on the back of his neck. He asked in a low voice: "Senior, is there any difficulty?" Jia Zhuangyuan shook his head slightly and said, "I'm not sure if the astrology on the wall should be exactly the same as that on the dome, or if it's placed correctly." First Young Master Liu thought for a while and said to him: "Senior Jia, we have no other choice, this is the reference of the dome." Jia Zhuangyuan sighed, and slowly moved a bead in the groove.First Young Master Liu raised his head and glanced at the dome inadvertently. Suddenly, he was a little horrified to see that the twelve beads on the astrology map on the dome seemed to have changed their orientation, which was completely different from the astrology I just arrived at. He hurriedly said to Jia Zhuangyuan: "Senior Jia! Something is wrong! Look up at the dome, it seems that the twelve beads have moved by themselves." Jia Zhuangyuan was startled, and quickly raised his head to look at the dome. He couldn't help but froze there, and murmured: "Why is this happening? Could it be that this is a star camera array that is changing at any time? No wonder what happened when I came up just now?" I didn't find it either, but suddenly a Heisha appeared." First Young Master Liu asked anxiously: "Then what should we do?" Jia Zhuangyuan pondered for a while, then raised his head suddenly and said to him, "Young Master, let me tell you about the various positions of the twelve stars, and then you will give me the position of each star according to the positions of the stars, and I will arrange the positions." .As long as we keep up with the changes in the star position, this star camera array can be cracked." Talking and pointing to the twelve beads on the dome, he began to explain to Young Master Liu the changes in the positions of the twelve constellations and the names of various directions.He said: "In order to observe and explain the position, movement and solar terms of the sun, moon and five stars, the ancients divided the zodiac into twelve parts from west to east. The names are: Xingji, Xuanzang, Jianglou, Daliang, Real sinking, quail head, quail fire, quail tail, birthday star, big fire, and wood analysis. These twelve constellations will change their star positions according to the time of day and season. This astrology diagram is based on this principle, adding mechanism Theoretically, the design of the organ in front of us is to make the star map on the wall and the star map on the dome in the same position according to the change of the star map, so that it is consistent with the change of the star position of the dome, and then the mechanism will be activated." After finishing speaking, he began to point out the changing order of the star position and the changing order of the azimuth to Young Master Liu. Fortunately, the astrology map was on top of Young Master Liu, and it took him more than ten minutes to remember it. Jia Zhuangyuan was worried about Young Master Liu's memory, and pointed to the star position on the dome and asked him several times about changes. Seeing that Young Master Liu answered correctly, he finally let out a sigh of relief and said to him: "Your task now is to face the dome. Report to me one by one according to the order of changes in the star position and direction, and I will operate the star map on the wall. Remember, we will fail and even cause danger if we miss by a tiny bit." Young Master Liu nodded pretending to be relaxed and said: "No problem, I promise to complete the task." Jia Zhuangyuan nodded solemnly, then turned to face the star map on the wall, and whispered: "Start!" Young Master Liu's heart tightened, and he quickly focused on the star changes on the dome and began to report the position and direction of each star one by one.Jia Zhuangyuan quickly moved the beads in the groove, placing them exactly according to his report. Fortunately, the astrology of the dome did not move very quickly. Ten minutes later, Young Master Liu continued to report the astrology and direction of the beads on the dome, while Jia Zhuangyuan basically stopped moving the beads.But he didn't yell to stop, Young Master Liu kept yelling, yelling about the change of astrology. Finally, after another two minutes or so, Jia Zhuangyuan said: "Okay. The astrology position on my side is already consistent with the astrology position of the dome you reported. Let God control the following matters." As he said that, he turned around and stared at the change of the stars on the dome together with me. The twelve white beads were still moving slowly. Young Master Liu suddenly felt a little nervous, because he saw that the twelve beads seemed to be moving towards a straight line. tend to change. Jia Zhuangyuan suddenly said loudly: "Twelve Lianju! I understand, Twelve Lianju is the start time of the organ." He suddenly turned his face to look at the star map on the wall, and sure enough, the twelve beads in the star map on the wall were also changing in a straight line. First Young Master Liu clenched his hands into fists nervously, feeling sweaty in his palms, his eyes fixed on the astrology on the dome, wondering what would happen when the moment Jia Zhuangyuan said of the Twelve Balls came. Finally, under the nervous gaze of First Young Master Liu and Jia Zhuangyuan, the twelve beads in the star chart on the dome and wall formed a straight line.A heavy "click" sounded above the heads of the two of them, and the strange astrological chart on the round dome suddenly split a gap in the middle, and then slowly separated to the two sides, and the gap was getting bigger and bigger. The entire astrological chart pushed into the walls on both sides, and the middle of the dome became a dark round hole that went upward. The sound of "Kaka" still continued, coming from the round hole.Jia Zhuangyuan whispered to First Young Master Liu, "What do you think will appear inside?" First Young Master Liu shook his head at a loss, for some reason, he suddenly felt a very strong sense of fear in his heart, as if something terrifying was about to appear in the round hole. Sure enough, a rectangular object slowly descended from the entrance of the cave, and when it completely appeared on top of the two of them, Young Master Liu and Jia Zhuangyuan's expressions changed drastically and they realized that the object turned out to be a large blue coffin. Four thick black chains tightly bound it above the coffin. First Young Master Liu and Jia Zhuangyuan stared dumbfounded as it continued to pass slowly before their eyes, and then fell towards the ground of the hall. Jia Zhuangyuan patted First Young Master Liu on the shoulder like a dream, and said, "Let's go down quickly, I think there must be a shocking secret hidden in this coffin." First Young Master Liu looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What shocking secret?" Jia Zhuangyuan smiled slyly at him, did not speak, but took out his bow and crossbow from his bosom again, and said to Young Master Liu: "Young Master, you go down first, tell them not to touch the coffin, wait until I get down."
