Wanbao Lady

Chapter 451 The Second Lock

After leaving Shadu City, Fuluan was seen closing her eyes and pointing her fingers at her brows.

The next moment, a blue bird suddenly appeared behind him, stretched its neck and cried loudly, circled in the sky for a few circles, and then flew straight in one direction.

"let's go!"

The two of them turned into a stream of light and followed behind the blue bird's shadow.

Not for long.

I saw it hovering firmly in one area, and then its entire body suddenly dived towards a point.

But the shadow of the blue bird seemed to pass through an invisible ripple and disappeared.

And at the spatial point where the ripples were located, a spatial door slowly opened.

The two of them then stepped in.

-

When the scene in front of him changed, Chongfan discovered that this time their destination was not in the Historical Corridor, but right under the gate of the Holy Mountain.

Looking at the tall door in front of me, which is made of neither gold nor jade, and I don’t know what material it is made of, I feel a sense of nostalgia as if I were revisiting an old place.

More importantly, it feels like tension and anticipation.

The two looked at each other, and saw Fuluan slowly stepped forward and placed his palm on the door.

The next moment, the familiar white light followed the formation circuit hidden on the door, gradually flowing and gathering inward from the edges of the gate.

After a while, the circular loop in the center was filled.

There was a click.

The ancient door slowly opened with a dull moving sound, and a huge square paved with fine white spiritual jade came into view.

But around the square, there are dazzling temples, numerous palaces, pavilions and towers scattered all over the place. Some are suspended in the air, and some are located on the hillside, with golden tiles and flowing lights, and exquisite carvings.

There are waterfalls hanging down like curtains, the bright lake of Yaochi, ancient trees and strange vines, and famous flowers and auspicious grasses.

The bright clouds reflected the sky, and the green mist covered the mouth of the bucket.

Stone statues of strange animals with tiger bodies, nine tails and human faces are guarding the palace gates or some important checkpoints.

When they saw the outsiders coming, the eyes of the surrounding stone animal statues all lit up brightly. When they saw the phantom of the blue bird hovering above their heads, the bright light in their eyes went out again.

"Each god has his own shrine. The three largest shrines are the shrines of the Supreme Lord, the Goddess Nvwu, and the Goddess of the West."

As she spoke, Fuluan pointed out the locations of the three shrines one by one.

Chongfan immediately discovered that these three temples were built with the central square as the center, and were located in the east, west, and north of the square. If they were connected in a circle, they would roughly form a triangle, and in terms of scale, they were the three largest temples of all.

As for the southern part of the square, that was the main gate through which they entered.

"To the north is the shrine of the goddess Nüwu, named the Palace of All Spirits; to the west is the shrine of the goddess Holy Mother of the West, named the Palace of Holy Mother; as for the east, it is the shrine of the great god Taishang, named the Palace of Creation." Fuluan introduced them one by one.

Moreover, these three shrines are the core locations of three large palace groups. Surrounding them are numerous shrines and pavilions of various sizes, which can be seen at a glance like stars surrounding the moon.

It is hard to imagine how many gods and mythical beasts lived there during its peak period, and how glorious and lively it must have been.

Fuluan looked at the surrounding scenery from afar, with emotion and memories in her eyes.

"After so many years, I set foot on this land again. I remember that it was in the Notre Dame Palace that I awakened my wisdom from my previous life." She murmured in a low voice.

After saying that, she immediately looked at Chong Fan and said, "Then let's go to the Wanling Palace first!"

"it is good."

Chongfan nodded.

Let’s get straight to the point so that we can resolve our doubts as soon as possible.

Under the guidance of Fu Luan, the two turned into streams of light and flew forward together. Looking down, they saw that all the major temples were tightly closed, and above the doors, there were faint flashes of unknown runes.

In front of the Wanling Palace, Chongfan slowly put his hand on it. As expected, the situation was the same as last time. The array symbol on the gate lit up, but only half lit up, and then quickly retracted, as if nothing had happened.

A hint of sadness flashed across her face, and then she slowly put her hand down.

However, Fuluan showed an "expected" look in his eyes, and said: "Don't be discouraged, the formation restrictions in front of each palace gate are exactly the same as the formation restrictions in front of the gate of the Holy Mountain. Since you can't open it from the outside, the inside will naturally not be opened. But..."

She smiled and said, "Compared to the gate of the Holy Mountain, if you want to open the Palace of God, there is more than just the way to unlock the formation restriction."

As she spoke, she pointed to the two human-faced nine-tailed tiger stone beasts guarding the gate of the shrine. "This stone beast is called Lu Wu. It is the guardian beast guarding the important area in the core of the Holy Mountain. At the same time, it also carries the second lock to open the important area."

After hearing this, looking at the stone beast in front of him that looked very similar to the "Luwu" in the mythology and legends of the previous life, a strange idea suddenly came to his mind.

If the identification in front of the holy mountain gate relies on a mechanism similar to the "fingerprint lock" in the previous life, then the "second lock" on the stone beast in front of every temple now is similar to... a mechanical lock?

The next moment, Fuluan spoke a strange syllable in an ancient language to the two stone beasts. The syllable was ancient and difficult to pronounce, and it could be said to be two different languages ​​from the current Great Zhou language.

After a moment, the two stone beasts seemed to understand. They stood up from their squatting position, and two rays of light radiated from their eyes, projecting purple starlight in the air.

There is a white light connecting every two star rays, but it is not a simple two-dimensional graphic, but a three-dimensional solid, like a vast chaotic star map.

At first glance, the dense, crisscrossing patterns are dazzling.

Fuluan gently touched one of the stars, and the white spiritual line connected to the purple star was shifted and twisted.

In an instant, driven by the white spiritual line, the entire body moved, and the other hundreds of thousands of stars followed the movement of the stars, shifting their shapes and positions, and in the blink of an eye they regrouped into a new, chaotic star map.

The complexity of the design, the ingenuity of the ideas, and the wisdom contained therein are simply breathtaking.

Obviously, the "lock" can only be opened if the chaotic star map is accurately restored. But the difficulty is... I am afraid that even if you work hard to solve it, it will be useless.

"The Empress Nuwu and my Empress have always been good friends. Back then, our Three Blue Birds were also quite favored by the Empress Nuwu. Therefore, before the Empress Nuwu ascended to heaven, she did not hide the solution to the star map lock from us when she gave it to my Empress."

As soon as he finished speaking, a light flashed on Fuluan's five fingers, like strings. When her fingers moved slightly, the strings danced in unison, moving the stars.

All of a sudden, on the entire three-dimensional star map, hundreds of purple stars were seen moving and changing their positions at a speed that was too fast to keep up with.

Not for long.

With the arrangement and combination of the star rays, the chaotic star map gradually became clear, and a special picture suddenly appeared before our eyes.
