Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Different from the general palace structure, this palace is a dome structure with high walls standing around. The dome in the middle is like a huge manhole cover, connecting the four high walls and covering the top.

This architectural style is very rare and almost non-existent in inland states and counties. Tang Ning has seen in books that only Mubei grassland has such structural buildings.

This is enough to show that the original owner of this palace came from the Mubei grassland.

The entire palace is sealed, with high walls and domes connected seamlessly. There is only one entrance, the main entrance in the northwest, where Gu Zili is.

The three people flashed and came to Gu Zili.

With the cultivation of a few people, the high wall and dome could not stop them, but the situation inside was unknown, so they did not break in rashly.

Tang Ning's consciousness was far away, and she passed through the red walls and green tiles, but did not notice the presence of any living beings inside.

"There should be no danger." Zhang Ziqing said.

"Let's go! See what's there." Gu Zili said, taking the lead to walk inside. The three of them followed closely, and passed through the majestic palace gate. Inside was a large palace garden, pavilions, waterside pavilions, and garden lofts. It is fully equipped and has the same layout as a general palace.

The only slightly weird courtyard is filled with many stone lions, stone tigers, stone leopards and other objects.

Gu Zili's footsteps suddenly stopped, and several people noticed something was wrong.

Only the subtle sounds of rattling could be heard in the courtyard. Everyone turned to look, only to see the stone fragments falling off from the stone lions in the courtyard, revealing the true appearance of Mount Lu.

Nearly a hundred lions, tigers, bears, leopards and other puppets rushed toward the four people, but they saw clear lines all over their bodies, lifelike, and even brilliance flowing on their surfaces.

Tang Ning frowned slightly. This palace was indeed not a decoration, but she didn't know what else was inside.

A few people stood still, and nearly a hundred puppets attacked in front of them, swarming like hungry tigers pouncing on food. They raised their claws and slapped the four people, but they were blocked by the spiritual shield.

These lions, tigers, and leopards were all first-order puppets, so they naturally posed no threat to a few people. Gu Zili waved his hand casually, and with a shock of spiritual power, the wolves, lions, tigers, leopards and other puppets were knocked away dozens of feet away. Then he turned over and attacked without fear of death.

Gu Zili frowned, obviously a little upset by these little things. He turned his hand, and a golden light pagoda swelled in the wind. The rays of light swept over the surrounding puppets. Countless rays of golden light penetrated the puppets' bodies and beat many puppets to death. It was riddled with holes, leaving only a pile of scrap metal.

"Looking at the attack power of these puppets, they have reached the level of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. I don't know what the original owner of this palace did with so many low-level puppets in the palace garden. They also wrapped them in stone statues. It is really unnecessary." Zhang Ziqing shook his head.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was only a rustling sound, and the fragmented puppet bodies dragged their broken body shells, moved one after another, and then put them back together again. Seeing this strange situation, the four people couldn't help but look at each other and frowned.

These first-order puppets posed no threat to them, so they did not rush to stop them. A few people quietly watched the puppets' remains move little by little. After about a few dozen breaths, the many puppets' remains automatically assembled together to form a complete body.

But a dazzling red light emitted from his body, and the many broken joints healed as before, leaving not even a trace.

When Tangning saw this, her eyes narrowed. These puppets were almost the same as the stone statues she encountered in Changliu Lake. Their limbs were broken and then restored to their original state after a flash of red light. This was combined with the Mubei style of this palace.

Could it be that? The original owner of this palace was also a monk from the Mubei'an family? It can't be such a coincidence!

At this time, many puppets have automatically assembled and healed as before. What is strange is that not all puppets can heal automatically. A small number of puppets' bodies are still in a state of fragmentation. The automatically healed puppets rush over again without fear of death.

Gu Zili snorted coldly, and the golden light of the pagoda on the top burst out, emitting thousands of golden lights and once again smashed many puppets into pieces, riddled with holes.

Soon, many puppets were assembled and healed again. Tangning saw a puppet on the left flashing with red light and healing as before. With a flick of his finger, two rays of spiritual power shot out and shot straight into the puppet's eyes.

The powerful spiritual impact knocked the puppet over and flew a foot away, then turned over again and rushed over.

Tangning frowned. Wasn't the flaw the eyes? That said, it has nothing to do with Mu Bei'an's family's secret method of reincarnation in the six realms of hell.

The soul-moving technique recorded in the hell path is to erase the consciousness of the monk's soul and restrain it in the body of the stone statue. Therefore, the soul is immortal and the body exists forever, and the place where the soul is imprisoned is the eyes of the body.

But just now the puppet's eyes were attacked, but it was unscathed, which is obviously different from the hell refining method.

"Senior Brother Gu, try attacking their heads." Wu Tongming, who had always been taciturn, suddenly said.

Gu Zili glanced at him, and thousands of golden lights shot out from the top of the pagoda, beating the heads of many puppets to pieces.

This time, the puppet never moved and healed, and its broken limbs were scattered all over the place.

"Brother Wu, how did you discover that the head is the key to their healing? Have you encountered these puppets before?" Tang Ning asked.

"No, I just noticed that Senior Brother Gu's two attacks earlier. The heads of the puppets that had not healed were severely damaged and were beaten to pieces. However, the heads of the puppets that could heal independently were slightly injured and the overall outline was still there. Therefore, I suspect that the heads of the puppets were severely damaged. Each part has their fatal weakness.

"I see." Tangning walked over to a puppet, picked up its broken body and carefully explored it for a while.

"Brother Tang, what are you doing?"

"Oh, it's nothing. Let me take a look at their materials." Tangning put a piece of the puppet's remains into the storage bag.

"It seems that this palace is not simple. We need to be a little more careful." Gu Zili frowned and said, and the group continued to move forward.

Passing through the second towering palace gate, a palace garden with the same layout as before appeared in front of you.

The only difference is that there are many more stone statues guarding both sides, a total of sixteen stone statues.

As soon as everyone entered the room, the stone statue made a rustling sound, and stone fragments fell off, revealing the appearance of a humanoid puppet.

Many puppets flashed and attacked several people. Many huge beams of light erupted from the puppets' bodies and shot out from all directions.

Before it was time for tea, sixteen humanoid puppets were scattered on the ground, their heads beaten to pieces.

These were second-level puppets, so it took a few people a little effort.

"Judging from the layout of the palace, I'm afraid that if you continue further, you will face third-level puppets." Zhang Ziqing frowned.

Gu Zili said: "Junior brother Zhang, there is no need to worry. After all, puppets are dead objects and have limited attack methods. Even though their bodies are tough, they are just targets. As long as they are not fourth-level puppets, we can handle them with the strength of a few of us."

The four of them continued to walk forward and passed through the third palace gate. The layout of the palace garden was the same as that of the first two palace gardens, but the puppets wrapped in stone statues were missing.

The few of them looked at each other, and Gu Zili took the lead and walked forward, followed by Tang Ning, Zhang Ziqing, and Wu Tongming, all of whom looked a little solemn. The four of them had already noticed three figures sitting in the majestic hall in front of them.

Gu Zili took the lead and opened the door. The spacious hall was empty. There were three stone chairs in the middle, and three bodies were sitting there. They were called bodies because there was no trace of living breath in the three of them.

The three of them had their eyes closed and were sitting upright. The one on the left was tall and muscular.

The person on the right has a fair complexion and regular facial features.

The person in the middle has a leopard head and ape arms.

Behind the three people, there is a jade coffin on display.

It was as if three guards were guarding the jade coffin.

As soon as Gu Zili stepped into the hall with his left foot, the three people sitting on the stone chairs suddenly opened their eyes.

Gu Zili's expression changed and he flew back, only to hear a loud roar.

A huge fist hit the golden pagoda, and the pagoda shook violently.

A huge black palm struck the pagoda in mid-air. Gu Zili formed a seal with his hands. The sky and earth dimmed in vain. A tall shadow appeared behind him. Countless black lights appeared around him. In the left hand of the shadow, Condensed into the shape of a giant sword.

The giant sword in Xuying's hand swung towards the giant palm. The moment the two came into contact, the giant palm shattered into pieces, and the black giant sword struck down at the tall and muscular man below like a broken bamboo.

The man's whole body burst with blood, forming a blood-colored barrier. The giant sword struck the blood-colored barrier, like mountain peaks colliding, and the entire hall collapsed.

The man pushed with both palms, and the blood-colored barrier shattered instantly, turning into a sea of ​​blood and rushing toward Gu Zili. The sea of ​​blood boiled and undulated like magma.

Under the impact of the sea of ​​​​blood, the giant sword was distorted and deformed visibly to the naked eye, and invisible bubbles appeared around it, like iron melting into magma, and was quickly melted by the sea of ​​​​blood.

The rushing sea of ​​blood rushed towards Gu Zili and drowned him.

At the same time, on the other side of the palace, Tang Ning, Zhang Ziqing, and Wu Tongming also fought with two other men.

Tang Ning formed a seal in her hand, and the five-element spiritual hand formed in mid-air. She grabbed one of the men with a fair complexion and straight features, and the five-color runes swarmed towards his body.

The man clasped his palms together and crossed his legs. He was floating in the air in a strange sitting posture, with golden light blooming all over his body, like a living Buddha.
