Chapter 424 The Secret of the Ancient Box
Chapter 424 The Secret of the Ancient Box
Hearing the urging voices outside, Lu Ming asked everyone to hide behind the bookshelves for the time being on the grounds that the core of the mechanism was not sure whether it was completely paralyzed, and immediately observed the patterns and words on the stone pillars.
The text is very old, but with the pattern, it is possible to roughly see the content recorded in it.
And these also made Lu Ming make an astonishing discovery.
According to its records, it is said that in ancient times, an extraterrestrial meteorite fell on the earth, and this meteorite completely changed everything about human beings.
There is a piece of energy stone in the meteorite, which contains extremely terrifying power, and can even change people's power and life, and even the form of human life. Therefore, various tribes and clans began to scramble for it, which set off a battle. Bloody.
The entire human race was driven into madness by this power stone, and wars continued.
The flames of war lasted until the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and because the legend of the energy stone has gradually faded out of human sight, only those emperors and generals knew the root cause of the flames of war.
After King Qin unified the six kingdoms, in order to prevent the war from spreading, he appointed the Mo family to secretly build an underground palace in Shiqing Mountain and seal the obtained energy stones while building the city.
The ancient box is a precision mechanism made by the ancestors of the Mohists. Only a key can open it and reproduce the energy stone inside.
Since then, the Mo family lived in seclusion in the underground palace of Shiqing Mountain to guard the ancient box and keys for generations. Until hundreds of years later, the internal disputes of the Mo family were divided. Someone wanted to open the ancient box to take out the energy stone, leave this place like an underground tomb, and start a new life. And in charge of Huaxia.
But on the other side, they stick to the rules, strictly fulfill the last words of their ancestors, and protect the ancient box from generation to generation.
Therefore, the two are polarized. One of them is to secretly build an ancient tomb in Niushan, which is far away from Shiqing Mountain. Finally, they secretly take away the ancient box and key and transfer them to the ancient tomb of Niushan. In order to ensure safety, they will open the key to the ancient box. He hid it, leaving only the ancient box in the Niushan Ancient Tomb.
This is the origin of the whole thing, and also the reason why there are Niushan Ancient Tombs and Shiqingshan Underground Palace.
"Meteorite, energy stone?"
Lu Ming touched his chin with one hand. It was really hard to imagine how much magical power the energy stone stored in that small ancient box could make the whole history go crazy.
What is even more surprising is that Qin Shihuang, the tyrannical ruler in the historical records, turned out to be the one who quelled the war!
Regardless of whether the records in it are true or not, at the very least, it is certain that the things in the ancient box must be full of powerful power, and can even change the existence of human beings today.
After Lu Ming learned everything, he erased the murals and handwriting on the stone pillar with a dagger.
Now in this world, he may be the only one who knows the secret in the ancient box, and this will also be his last trump card!
After finishing all this, Lu Ming left the mezzanine and returned to the main hall.
Shangguan He poked his head out, looked around, and asked cautiously: "Has the mechanism here been completely paralyzed?"
Lu Ming glanced at him with disdain, "The mechanism is not scary! What is scary is the human heart! Don't forget, there is still the person who controls the Shanyuan hairy monkey!"
This remark is a pun, not only pointing out that the danger has not been lifted, but also ignoring Shangguanhe's nature.
"Everyone, don't let your guard down, be careful!" Lu Ming urged.
Shi Xiu stepped forward, and the thin woman struggled to support Ying, putting his arm on her shoulders, with a smile on her little face, and said, "I'll help you walk."
"Thank you, thank you."
Ying Zhangzui said these two words very jerky, this is the first time he said these two words in his life.
Everyone followed Lu Ming and continued to walk forward. Passing through this main hall, there was another huge palace with flames scurrying on the ground. Fortunately, the mechanism has been paralyzed now.
Walking all the way forward, the crowd became more and more horrified and astonished. Here one palace is connected to another palace, and each palace has a deadly mechanism. No wonder the Shangguan family has sent people from Sandu to come back and forth over the years.
Such a sophisticated mechanism, such a huge and vast building, I am afraid that few people can easily deal with it.
"Did you find out! We've been walking around the bend!" Yao Qing asked suddenly.
Everyone was puzzled, they didn't realize it.
Lu Ming nodded and said: "These palaces are all built around the core axis of the mechanism. I think it should lead to the top of the mountain, and there must be another way out there, otherwise the mountain Yuan Maohou will not It may appear outside the cave!"
Everyone nodded after hearing the words, and continued to walk forward. As expected, the area of the palace became smaller and smaller, and the organs inside became more detailed and terrifying.
If it hadn't been for climbing in through that gap before, the core bearing of the card main mechanism, I am afraid that even Lu Ming would have struggled to get to this level!
Finally, after walking forward for a long time, I don't remember how many palaces full of organs I have shuttled through. Finally, the group of people came to a bronze gate.
Looking at the door carved with dragons and phoenixes in front of him, Lu Ming took a deep breath and said, "This should be the last door! Shangguanhe, haven't you always wanted to unlock the secret of the ancient box! This opportunity is for you."
Shangguan He glanced at the gate, then cautiously glanced at Lu Ming, spread his hands, and said, "We've been together so far, and the purpose is the same! I won't argue with you for this credit!"
"Are you sure?" Lu Ming smiled meaningfully.
This smile made Shangguan He a little uncertain. He had suffered a lot along the way, and he was already in a state of disarray, even without the shoes under his feet.
But he was afraid of missing the opportunity and being fooled by Lu Ming again.
He raised his head and pointed to the bronze gate, and said, "Ying, go and open it."
"Are you crazy?" Shi Xiu reprimanded: "Didn't you see that he was injured like this! How can he still have the strength to push the door open?"
Everyone also cast contemptuous looks at Shangguan He.
He didn't care, turned around and shouted: "Shangguan Yanran, you go!"
Shangguan Yanran's face darkened, and said: "Why?"
"You are presumptuous!" Shangguan He said angrily, "Are you trying to rebel! Just because you are from Shangguan's family and because I am your elder, you should obey orders!"
"It's ridiculous!"
Shangguan Yanran looked disdainful, and sneered: "I am indeed from the Shangguan family, but do the Shangguan family treat me as a person? Elder? You really have the face to say these two words! Knowing that when I was three years old, I I followed my parents to work for the Shangguan family, entered here, and left an indelible memory in the subconscious, but the Shangguan family, and you! Have you ever cared about all this? In order to achieve my goal, I will not hesitate to let me return here and uncover The scar deep in your heart, is this what you call a fellow clan?"
After some questioning, the angry Shangguan He was speechless.
Everything the Shangguan family did was far worse than what Xiao Linglong suffered when she was in the Xiao family.
Since they didn't regard themselves as human beings, why should she, Shangguan Yanran, sacrifice her life for the Shangguan family? Besides, her parents had given their lives to the Shangguan family a few years ago, and Shangguan Yanran would never risk her life for such a family again. .
Looking at Shangguan He's gloomy face, Lu Ming sneered and said, "Since you're timid, I'll do it!"
After that, he walked straight towards the bronze gate.
