Tomb Raider: Evolution of the Red Dragon, Starting from the Ancient City of Jingjue

Chapter 133 Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Dragon Bone Book
"Cough cough..."

Jiang Hua smiled and said, "I'm just guessing, don't get so excited."

"Let's look for it first and see what's there."

"Uh-huh."

Everyone nodded.

The fairy palace looks very big now.

It is about four or five hundred square meters in size.

This is a big palace.

Everyone started searching carefully.

Jiang Hua came to the dragon throne.

This dragon throne is very large and can accommodate two or three people. It is golden in appearance and it is not known whether it is gold-plated or made entirely of gold.

However, Jiang Hua probably only coated it with a layer of gold powder.

After all, the ancient Dian Kingdom was just a small border country, and its national strength was far inferior to that of the Han Dynasty.

They couldn't come up with enough gold to build a dragon throne.

The dragon throne is located in the center.

It is obviously the place where King Xian entertained the immortals.

On both sides of the hall are statues of gods.

They look like gods.

The placement of the statue by King Xian was enough to prove his inner ambition.

Unfortunately, it is not that easy to become an immortal.
Jiang Hua looked at the dragon throne.

The dragon throne is located behind a wall.

There is also a mural painted on this wall, which is a diagram of the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams, which seems somewhat out of place with the dragon throne.

Jiang Hua knocked on the base of the dragon throne for a while.

However, no secret compartment was found.

Or a place to hide things.

He couldn't help but frown.

"Could it be that King Xian really didn't put the things here?"

"He put all his belongings in his own tomb?"

This is also possible.

However, Jiang Hua still had a vague feeling.

What should be in this fairy palace?
They just haven't discovered it yet.

Suddenly, the whole palace shook.

Jiang Hua was shocked and couldn't help looking towards the center of the hall.

The fat man looked a little confused. He held the bronze incense burner in the middle with both hands and wanted to pull it up directly.

However, it triggered the mechanism.

The entire hall began to tremble.

"Fatty, what the hell are you doing?"

Hu Bayi cursed angrily.

The fat man felt a little aggrieved. "I didn't do anything. I just wanted to see if I could pull up this bronze incense burner."

"I think you are crazy about money!"

Boom boom——
The whole hall was shaking.

Dragon mouths suddenly appeared all around.

A large amount of silver liquid spurted out from the dragon's mouth.

Shirley Yang's expression suddenly changed.

"It's mercury!"

boom--

The big door outside also slammed shut.

"This King Xian wants to drown us with mercury!"

Jiang Hua's face looked a little ugly, and he jumped directly onto the beam.

"Everyone jump on top first, don't let the mercury touch you, otherwise it will be dangerous."

Shirley Yang, Hu Bayi and Fatty also jumped up. He also took out several gas masks.

And handed it over to Shirley Yang and others.

"How do we get out of here?"

Shirley Yang asked.

Jiang Hua looked at the mercury that kept gushing out.

It has been flooded for more than ten centimeters.

Plus, the temple door was closed.

It was impossible for them to leave through the temple gate.

Jiang Hua looked towards the top of the hall.

This is the top made of glazed tiles.

Very hard.

Jiang Hua pondered for a moment and said, "We can only use explosives to blow it up now."

"Explode?"

Everyone was shocked.

Shirley Yang frowned and said, "But it will destroy the palace."

Jiang Hua shook his head. "We have already triggered the mechanism. The mercury will flood this place and destroy the hall."

"Then it would be better for us to do it ourselves and blow a hole in the top of this hall, so we can escape."

Hearing Jiang Hua's words, everyone nodded.

"That's right. Let's use explosives to blast a way out now!" Hu Bayi nodded.

Jiang Hua took out the explosives from the storage space and gave them to Hu Bayi.

He himself was looking around the hall.

The dragon's mouth was still spewing mercury.

The mercury had spread to a depth of more than one meter. Suddenly, Jiang Hua was stunned.

Looking down from his position, he could clearly see the wall behind the dragon throne.

The Bagua diagram, responding to a ray of light coming in from outside, seemed to be slowly rotating, which was very magical.

“There is a mystery!”

Jiang Hua's face darkened as he looked carefully at the constantly rotating Bagua pattern.

boom!
A loud noise.

Hu Bayi removed the glazed tiles from the roof of the hall.

A huge skylight was blown out.

"Jiang Hua, let's go!"

Shirley Yang saw Jiang Hua still in a daze, so she walked over and said something.

Jiang Hua did not answer, still staring blankly at the Bagua diagram.

"Jiang Hua, what's wrong with you?"

Hu Bayi and Fatty were also stunned.

"Don't talk yet."

Jiang Hua said with a serious expression.

This constantly rotating Bagua diagram is a mechanism that hides unknown mysteries.

Jiang Hua felt vaguely in his heart.

The secrets contained in this mechanism are of great use to him.

But I want to find the secret.

It must be unlocked.

It's like solving a puzzle.

Jiang Hua's mind was working rapidly.

Continue to decipher the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams mural in front of you.

Hu Bayi followed Jiang Hua's gaze and looked towards the mural. He was also stunned for a moment.

Then a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

"What is this?"

Time passes little by little.

The mercury in the hall was getting deeper and deeper.

Shirley Yang couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Jiang Hua, how long will it take you?"

Suddenly, Jiang Hua's eyes lit up.

He finally found the pattern.

"Shirley, wait for me here!"

Jiang Hua flew up and jumped directly onto a statue.

“The stuff is right here!”

Jiang Hua raised his fist and punched down hard.

boom!
The head of the statue was smashed into pieces by Jiang Hua's punch.

And in the head of the statue, there was actually an ancient jade box revealed. He picked it up and placed it in the storage space, then took a step and jumped back onto the beam.

Jiang Hua smiled and said, "Okay, we can go now."

Hu Bayi and others were curious.

But I also understand that the mercury is getting deeper and deeper.

There is also highly toxic mercury vapor.

They must get out of here as soon as possible.

So, everyone jumped up along the skylight.
Wait until you leave Huixian Palace.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The fat man asked curiously: "Brother Jiang, what were you doing just now?"

Jiang Hua smiled and explained, "Just now, I was on the beam, looking at the stone wall behind the dragon throne, and found that the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams on the stone wall were actually rotating with the light."

"Then I guessed that this should be a mechanism, just like solving a puzzle. Only after it is solved can we know the secret."

"Later, I discovered that the statues in the hall were placed according to a certain pattern, so I incorporated it into the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams mural."

"Then I deciphered the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams diagram and found that one of the statues had something."

Jiang Hua took out the jade box he got from the statue from the storage space.

This jade box is flat and rectangular in shape, with several turns of gold rope wrapped around it and carved with patterns of insects, fish, birds and beasts, making it look very noble.

"What's in this?"

Shirley Yang guessed: "Could it be the Zhuchen Pearl?"

Hearing these three words, Hu Bayi and Fatty's eyes suddenly became hot.

The Zhuochen Pearl is a treasure that concerns their lives!

Jiang Hua said: "I don't know what it is, but I have a feeling that it is most likely not the Zhuchen Pearl."

"Anyway, let's open it and take a look.

The fat man nodded quickly, "Yeah, let's open it and take a look first."

"Maybe it really is the Zhuchen Pearl?"

Everyone looked at the jade box in Jiang Hua's hand.

There was a hint of anticipation in their eyes.

If the jade box really contained the legendary electric dust beads, then the purpose of their coming to Lingnan Insect Valley has been achieved.

Jiang Hua took a deep breath and slowly opened the jade box.

This jade box does not have any mechanism.

It was just fastened together with a lock.

Jiang Hua opened it easily.

However, the things in the jade box.

It's not some Zhuchen Pearl.

It's a tortoise shell.
