Cover the sky - Chapter 7
Chapter 7 Five-Colored Altar
It happened so suddenly that everything in front of them was beyond people’s imagination!
“This…” Everyone couldn’t believe it.
However, the nine dragon corpses and the copper coffin were lying in front of them, and the iron-clad facts were in front of them!
All of this seriously violated common sense and overturned people’s cognition, and everyone’s thoughts were strongly impacted.
When the chaos just happened, Ye Fan and his party did not flee in a panic. Everyone gathered together until the Jade Emperor Peak calmed down. Although they all fell to the ground, there were no major casualties. Only a few people bruised their arms.
At this moment, their faces were full of shock. The incredible scene in front of them made them unforgettable for life!
Nine huge dragon corpses just lay quietly in front of them, and the huge copper coffin really impacted people’s vision. All of this was too shocking and mysterious.
Everyone was speechless, their hearts were ups and downs, and their faces were full of shock, panic, fear, and fear, and it was difficult to calm down.
It was not until a long time later that Lin Jia whispered: “Let’s hurry down the mountain.”
Everyone nodded and felt that they should leave this place immediately. No one was willing to stay for a moment longer. The atmosphere at Yuhuangding at this moment makes people feel cold. Why are there nine dragon corpses pulling a huge bronze coffin? Why did they land on Mount Tai? Even if the facts are in front of them, it is hard to accept. They are extremely uneasy.
Under the bloody sunset, Yuhuangding is devastated, especially the bronze ancient coffin. A huge pit was smashed there, and the large cracks around it were one or two meters wide, spreading in all directions like a spider web.
One of the cracks was like a winding centipede, stretching to the feet of Ye Fan and his men. Fortunately, the end of the crack was less than a palm wide, and did not cause a sinkhole or crack.
Just as everyone was about to leave, Li Xiaoman pointed to the front and said, “What is that?”
Half a piece of jade was exposed under the cracked surface, and a bright light was reflected in the sunset.
Although everyone was a little afraid, they still walked forward a few steps and saw that under the one-meter-wide crack, a corner of the round altar was exposed, and the broken half of the jade was displayed on it, shaped like a jade book.
“How could this happen? Is there something buried underneath?”
The round altar was not big, simple and ancient, and was built of five colors of strange soil. It was filled with the breath of time, and no one knew how many years it had existed.
“Look, there’s more ahead!” Wang Ziwen, who was standing in the front, was surprised and pointed to the wider crack in front.
Under the nearly two-meter-wide crack, there was also a five-colored earth altar. The round altar had been cracked, and a jade plate sealed inside was exposed. There were many complex characters and symbols engraved on it, which no one could recognize.
At this moment, everyone was surprised and instantly thought of the word “fengshan”. This was most likely an altar for offering sacrifices to the sky in ancient times!
The jade book sealed in the five-colored round altar was similar to what was described in “Baihutongyi” written by Ban Gu in the Eastern Han
Dynasty. It was recorded that “some say that the seal is made of gold mud and silver rope, or stone mud and gold rope, and the seal is also sealed.” And Sima Qian, the historian of the Western Han Dynasty, also recorded “Feiying Tengshi, Jinmushishi”.
In just a moment, everyone was surprised to find that there were such five-color altars under the large cracks around. There were actually dozens of them.
Each five-color earth altar was very simple and engraved with the marks of time. It was obvious that it had existed for countless years. The five-color earth altars were either sealed with jade pieces or stone slabs, and they were all engraved with difficult-to-recognize ancient symbols.
Everyone was deeply surprised and vaguely felt that there might be some connection with the dragon corpse and the bronze coffin.
Ye Fan liked to read ancient books on “searching for strange things” and knew more about Fengshan than others. He was really shocked. Could it be that the Three Sovereigns, Five Emperors and Seventy-two Kings in ancient times really performed Fengshan here?
Perhaps the legend is true, otherwise how could there be so many five-color round altars. Judging from the text on it, most of them are oracle bone inscriptions, which seems to confirm this speculation.
Everyone should have retreated immediately, but they were attracted unconsciously and had already walked around the bronze coffin for most of the time. They were terrified by the nine huge dragon corpses, shocked by the 20-meter-long bronze ancient coffin, and surprised by the five-colored altars underground.
“It seems that there is no danger, but this dragon corpse…”
Everyone walked around for most of the time. The fear in their hearts gradually subsided, but they still felt a little uneasy and decided to go down the mountain as soon as possible.
“Look, there is a giant altar in the central pit!”
The bronze ancient coffin smashed a huge deep pit on the ground. Everyone had already turned to the other side of the bronze coffin and looked down and was shocked again.
There was a super altar under the deep pit. It was not built of mud, but completely made of five-colored boulders. It steadily carried the 20-meter-long bronze ancient coffin without any broken places.
This super-large five-colored stone altar was obviously different from the other earth altars. It was located in the center of Yuhuangding. It was majestic and much larger than those earth altars.
The bronze coffin that fell from the sky had such a huge impact, but it didn’t even crack or damage it. It was hard to imagine what kind of strange stone it was made of.
In addition to the ancient bronze coffin, there were also a lot of jade blocks and stone slabs piled up on this large five-color altar, all filled with ancient meaning. Both
the jade blocks and the stone slabs were engraved with extremely mysterious ancient characters, which were more primitive than the oracle bone inscriptions seen on the five-color earth altars. They were mysterious symbols that were almost like heavenly books and paintings.
On the super-large five-color stone altar, there was a large row of such jade blocks and stone slabs neatly stacked, and they were not destroyed by the bronze coffin, which made people suspicious.
“Let’s leave here quickly.” Ye Fan and Zhou Yi spoke at the same time, urging everyone.
Everyone nodded. It was really not suitable to stay here for a long time. Even if there were endless secrets, they could not explore them now. The nine huge dragon corpses next to them made people uneasy, and the huge bronze coffin made people even more panic.
Just as everyone was about to turn around and leave, a female classmate screamed, and a large rock under her feet rolled into the huge pit. She also lost her balance and fell down.
“Be careful!” A male classmate quickly grabbed her, and several classmates next to him also quickly helped to pull her up.
The large rock that was stepped on made a “rumbling” sound and rolled into the big pit, and then hit the five-color altar heavily with a “bang”.
The super-large stone altar suddenly emitted a hazy halo of five colors, and everyone felt a huge force enveloping their bodies, and their legs were as difficult to move as if they were tied with lead blocks.
“Bang”
The five-color stone altar kept shaking, causing the Jade Emperor Peak to tremble. The people standing on the edge of the huge pit suddenly felt dizzy, but they could not move a step, and they were all shaken and rolled into the big pit.
A group of people fell on the five-color stone altar, and everyone was afraid!
