Chapter 16 Taishi
Sure enough, I knew it wouldn't be that simple.
Although the records of Niu Kelian's lineage ended abruptly at the palace gate, since we have arrived here, it is natural that we cannot return without success, so the next path can only be explored by ourselves.
Fortunately, the Guanshan Ministry of Industry also considered this situation. After some exploration, we finally found the arrangement left by our predecessors.
It was a row of grease-filled grooves.
I asked Shen Lang to ignite the grease in the groove. After igniting it, the flame spread along the groove like a fire dragon, and the environment we are in suddenly became much brighter.
With the illumination of the fire, we saw at the entrance, a plaque of golden nanmu on the top of the gold-inlaid gate, which was written with a few big words on it, indicating why the real name here is.
However, the content on this plaque was far beyond our expectations.
The content written on the plaque is not the God of All Things as we imagine, but another name.
Too room.
What is Taishi?
We are clearly looking for the God of Vientiane, why does this plaque say Taishi?
Is this the God of All Things?
A series of questions made me unable to calm down for a while. I unconsciously turned my attention to Niu Kelian, hoping that he could give me a reasonable explanation.
But it's a pity that I knew when I saw his apologetic expression, and he didn't know the truth.
"Captain, you don't have to look at me. The records of my lineage really came to an abrupt end at the palace gate. I have no idea about this in the God of All Things."
I don't believe in Niu Kelian. The reason why I looked at him was just a little fantasy. Since he had spoken, the last glimmer of hope had disappeared.
Seeing this, I had no choice but to look around and try to find the clues hidden therein.
Here is a typical pagoda-like structure, with the three layers gradually increasing from top to bottom. The bottom layer we are currently in is extremely large, roughly estimated to be about a few thousand square meters.
In such a large environment, a person's power is limited after all. When I was in a dilemma, Chunting called everyone together and expressed his plans.
"Since there are no clues, just check them out to see if there will be any gains, but remember to pay attention to safety."
After hearing Chunting's plan, everyone found that there was no better way, so they had to follow his instructions and start looking for clues here on their own at the bottom of the Wanxiang Temple.
Since we had nine people in total, Niu Kelian was the last to join, so he volunteered to explore independently, so the remaining people started exploring in groups and starting to explore the four directions here.
Shen Lang and Yihe are in charge of Zhengdong.
Xue Nan and Chunting are in charge of the south.
Mr. Chen and Ling Xuan are in charge of the west.
The direction that Qi Zhi and I are responsible for is Zhengbei.
After all, Niu Kelian is a tomb guardian of this lineage. Perhaps there are still magical powers hidden in him that we don’t know. He started from the entrance alone to check for shortcomings and fill in the gaps for us.
After making a decision, Qi Zhi and I began to explore the north. During this exploration, since Shen Lang had just ignited the grease in the groove, we can now see the layout here clearly. After closer inspection, we can't help but be shocked by the luxury and spectacle here again.
Although this is just the first floor to get started, the decoration here is not simple at all. Only under the firelight did we find that the ground under our feet was paved with good white jade, shining with a warm light in the light of the firelight.
The inner pillars of the palace are many giant dragon pillars. The dragon carved on each pillar is slightly different. The carvings are exquisite and lifelike, as if they are about to soar to the sky, which is particularly spectacular.
Qi Zhi and I walked along the way, for fear of missing any details. Although the first floor covers a huge area, we were still going to complete the investigation soon after being responsible for one direction.
Just as I was about to lose my confidence, with the light of the fire in the groove, I vaguely discovered that there seemed to be a big building ahead.
This sudden building made Qi Zhi and I feel energetic. We both accelerated our pace and finally discovered something at the outermost point of this floor.
In front of us is a majestic hall, which is not very large in scale, but it has an indescribable majesty, as if it can have a direct impact on the human heart. I secretly guessed in my heart that this might be a temple.
But this hall looks abnormal everywhere, with a different shape than any building I have seen in the book. Moreover, it is covered with black bricks and black tiles, and there is no other color, which makes people feel weird.
We looked up and saw two big words clearly engraved at the plaque above the hall gate, allowing us to know the original name here.
Xuantang.
Before Qi Zhi and I could call everyone here, I heard Shen Lang's voice coming from a distance.
"Brother Ting, I've found it here."
Qi Zhi and I were hesitating whether we should stay here or to reach Shen Lang first. Ling Xuan's excited voice had already been heard.
"Brother Ting, I found a hall here."
...
Have you found something in every direction?
So where should we go first?
Just when I was struggling, Chunting fully demonstrated the qualities that a superior should have. After hearing the voices of the crowd, he did not panic at all, but spoke loudly and made the most correct decision as soon as possible.
"Everyone listen to me, be careful not to act without permission. Let's gather together first, and then start exploring together."
After hearing his voice, I felt relieved. What he said was the most correct choice at this moment. So Qi Zhi and I did not hesitate and returned along the route just now. When we reunited to the center of this floor, we exchanged our discoveries after exploring each other.
"I'll say first, I'll say first."
The first one to speak was Shen Lang, who could not stand his temper.
"Didn't Yihe and I look to the east? There was nothing along the way, but we found a hall at the edge!"
Qi Zhi beside me is also childlike. She couldn't help but ask when she looked at Shen Lang.
"Brother Chuan and I also have a hall here. What kind of hall is there on your side? Are the black bricks and black tiles all over the body, and they look extremely weird?"
However, Shen Lang shook his head and denied Qi Zhi's guess.
"It's not black. The hall we saw was made of blue bricks and blue tiles, which looked particularly sacred. By the way, I also noticed that the words Qingyang were engraved on the plaque at the entrance of the hall."
Ling Xuan spoke slowly at this time. After listening to Qi Zhi and Shen Lang's conversation, it was obvious that he was confused on his face.
"We also found a hall here, but it was not blue or black, but white bricks and white tiles. It looked a little uncomfortable, and the words "General Chapter" were engraved on the plaque."
When Xue Nan saw that everyone had discovered it, she spoke in confusion and talked about her discovery with Chunting.
"We are also a hall here, but it is just red bricks and red tiles, but the one engraved on the plaque is the Mingtang!"
Mingtang? Another Mingtang appeared in the direction of Xue Nan.
My mind was in chaos.
How many halls are there in this Wanxiang Temple?
Just as I frowned, a smile suddenly appeared on Chunting's face.
Chapter completed!
