Taoist Zi Jin took out the fang of Taotie and came to the many glazed walls. There was a mural here, but it was too long ago and had long been blurred. He stretched out his hand and pressed on a mountain in the mural. With just a little force, the mountain sank. He twisted it gently and heard a cracking sound.
“It’s moving!”
Brother Chongzi shouted and pointed at the bronze door with a look of surprise!
Mr. Fei and Mr. Jiang Hai also retreated quickly, and everyone locked their flashlights on the door!
Under the light, the huge and heavy bronze door slowly sank into the ground with a creaking sound!
Until there was a loud bang, the sound of chains stirring and colliding was heard, and the bronze door fell deep into the groove below.
The light illuminated the world behind the bronze door, but it was completely unable to penetrate the darkness inside. It seemed that it was a very huge space, dark and gloomy. Fortunately, it was closer, and the flashlight illuminated many large pillars with carved beams and painted rafters!
Next to the pillars and in the corners, there are some large iron boxes stacked up. The wood inside these boxes has rotted away, but the iron frames tied around the outside are still barely supporting the boxes.
Many decayed places revealed the light of gold and silver, as well as the surface of jade, agate, and various gemstones! When the flashlight shone on them, it produced a very gorgeous reflection!
But in addition to these jewels, gold and silver, you can also see many decayed weapon racks with rotten wood, bow and arrow bags piled in the corner, and even a lot of human bones that seem to be trapped here!
Seeing so many things, Grandpa Jiang Hai and Mr. Fei and others looked at each other quietly, and then took a step together and stepped into the bronze door!
"Alchemy furnace!"
Old man Jiang Hai swept the flashlight to the right, and an enormous alchemy furnace appeared in front of everyone!
This alchemy furnace is about five or six meters high and is covered with a layer of gray-black dust. Even so, one can still see the decorations of rare and exotic animals on the furnace. Below the alchemy furnace is a pool where one can go down the line. A thick layer of ash can be seen, and the surrounding area is filled with various boxes specially used to hold elixirs.
Old man Jiang Hai walked over happily!
Brother Chongzi raised his flashlight and scanned around, his eyes fixed on a box that was casually placed among the pillars, which was used to hold various treasures!
"Wow... I got it! Damn, I got it! There are so many treasures. When will I be able to move in?"
He laughed loudly, walked quickly towards a few boxes, kicked over the rotten box lids, and the layers of gold, jade and precious light flashed his eyes!
Zhang Fan and Taoist Zi Jin were the last to step into the room. They didn't care about the alchemy furnace or the gold, silver and jewels. Instead, they looked deeper into the hall!
Deep in the hall, a magnificent and tall stone platform appeared in front of Zhang Fan!
Beneath this high platform, there are thirty-six large red-painted pillars with dragon heads and bodies cast in bronze on the pillars, forming nine-dragon mountain pillars that are as magnificent as the South Gate of Heaven!
This seems to be an altar, or a platform for offering sacrifices to the heavens! However, an altar of such a large scale built inside a room is rare in the world.
A long stone staircase extends out to the right side of this altar!
Looking up at the platform from the main entrance, one can clearly see the cross-section of stone extending from the top of the platform, with the reddish-brown liquid completely seeping into the interior of the stone.
I wonder how much blood it must have been soaked in to create such an astonishing sight.
Except for Taoist Zijin and Zhang Fan, no one has noticed the specialness of this altar. After all, Taoist Zijin and he have the ability of night vision!
So I don’t know where I am yet.
Brother Bug's shout came from the right!
"Hahaha...Brother, we've made a fortune, with so much gold! I'll find you ten women to keep you company, and buy you ten villas, so that you never have to worry about money again in your life!"
Brother Chongzi patted his men's shoulders excitedly. One of his men, who was blind, fumbled around and took a gold ingot handed over by Brother Chongzi. It was a horseshoe-shaped ingot, and it was heavy in the hand. Immediately, a look of relief appeared on the man's face, which was scarred by burns.
"Boss, we can transport all these treasures out! There's no need for us to continue accompanying them to seek death! Let's pack up these treasures immediately and leave this damn place."
Another person shouted loudly, with excitement and anticipation in his eyes!
It was obvious that they were already getting impatient at this point. After all, they had gone through countless years of life and death waiting for this moment.
Zhang Fan withdrew his gaze and ignored the noise coming from Brother Chongzi. Taoist Zi Jin pointed to the location of Old Man Jiang Hai.
Zhang Fan turned his head and looked over, only to see Old Man Jiang Hai standing blankly in front of the alchemy furnace, with the elixirs he had picked outside the moat placed at his feet.
His eyes were fixed on a mural on the right, but the expression on his face was definitely not excitement. Instead, it was filled with deep confusion and deep doubts.
Zhang Fan carried Nangong Manyun to the alchemy furnace.
Mr. Jiang Hai tilted his head, sighed and said, "Mr. Zhang Fan... can you understand the content of this mural?"
Zhang Fan glanced at the mural. It was well preserved and the scene it presented was a thought-provoking picture of ascension.
The main building is the Wanku Mountain that everyone is looking for. The top of the mountain seems to pierce into the clouds. Surrounding the entire Wanku Mountain, there are many Taoists looking up at the sky.
Among them, an old Taoist priest was flying in the sky with his arms open to endure the baptism of heavenly thunder!
However, the scene changed, and there was no Taoist priest at the foot of Wanku Mountain. There was only endless red representing blood wandering around, and dry white bones floating on the river.
After reading the entire mural, Zhang Fan lowered his eyelids: "I am not interested in these things! In my opinion, those who seek immortality must have great perseverance and great opportunities. Their failure is reasonable."
Old Master Jiang Hai laughed and sighed dejectedly: "Immortality... This is the dream that many people are pursuing! Even Qin Shi Huang couldn't resist the temptation of immortality in the end. I seem to be able to feel how regretful and unwilling he was when he was dying. However... I seem to have grasped some hope of finding immortality. This alchemy furnace has been destroyed. Someone destroyed the formation pattern from the inside and it can no longer be used. But I believe that there must be a complete alchemy furnace inside this mountain."
Zhang Fan took a look at the huge alchemy furnace and indeed found many cracks. The interior had been destroyed. Although the alchemy furnace was so large, it actually had a very complex and regular array of formations inside.
