From seeing it

Chapter 245 Sealed Cicada

Wang Pengcheng shook his head and said: "We just preconceived that it was a creature from an alien, and there is no evidence. Maybe it is a native earth product, but we don't know it."

Xiao Ling pointed to the word "Chang'e" on the top, and gestured to ask the old dwarf. The old dwarf shook his head, apparently he had never heard of the legend about "Chang'e".

Several dwarves stepped forward and were already working together to push the closed palace gate, wanting to enter this "Chang'e Prison" to see what happened.

Xiao Ling and the others were discussing the various possibilities of this "Chang'e Prison" while watching these dwarves pushing the palace gate.

Yi Shujuan said: "It is engraved with 'Chang'e Prison'. We all know that 'Chang'e' is the legendary Houyi's wife. Later, she stole Houyi's elixir of immortality and flew to the moon. Then 'Chang'e' is another What's the meaning?"

Li Li said: "I know, 'prison' was a black rope that bound prisoners in ancient times, and it generally means prison or imprisonment. There is a record in "Historical Records Tai Shigong's Preface" that says, "Tai Shigong suffered a disaster from Li Ling." , secluded in the jail', the prison here refers to the prison."

"Prison means prison and imprisonment?" Xiao Ling's heart trembled slightly, and he looked at Li Li.

Li Li hummed and nodded.

Wang Pengcheng murmured: "Chang'e Prison, doesn't it mean that this is Chang'e Prison? Or does it mean Chang'e Prison?"

Xiao Ling's face was slightly solemn, and he said: "Could it be that the real meaning of these four words is that this is a place where Chang'e is imprisoned? This palace is actually a prison."

Yi Shujuan asked in surprise, "Could it be that there is such a person as Chang'e in the world, and she is still imprisoned here?"

An inexplicable unease welled up in Xiao Ling's heart, and just as he was about to speak, the dwarves shouted in unison, exerted their strength together, and finally pushed the two heavy giant stone palace doors open.

As soon as the palace door was opened, there was light shining from inside.

Everyone was slightly startled. Unexpectedly, there would be light inside, and they couldn't help stepping back. Afterwards, the dwarves looked in with nervous and excited expressions, but for a while, no one dared to enter easily.

Xiao Ling stepped forward and looked inside through the opened palace door.

Inside the palace, there was nothing, and the everlasting lamps were lit on the four walls. The light just now was the light emitted by these everlasting lamps.

Xiao Ling looked at these ever-burning lamps, and his heart moved slightly. He knew that in ancient times, some kings' tombs would place ever-burning lamps in the hope that they would be as brightly lit as the palaces they lived in.

It's just that this palace was buried deep in the ground, and after I don't know how many years have passed, the ever-burning lamp still hasn't been extinguished. Everyone looked shocked when they saw it.

Xiao Ling thought of the ancient records he read under Wang Lei's guidance, which described the oil used in this kind of ever-burning lamp. The rarest of them was the oil refined by the South Sea shark, which was called South Sea shark oil. It is said that the ever-bright lamp can last for thousands of years if it uses this shark oil.

The so-called merman, also known as Quanke, is a mysterious creature with a fishtail and a human body in legend, similar to the mermaid in Western mythology. There is a record about it in the ancient book "Sou Shen Ji" "There are merman outside the South China Sea. Living like a fish, it does not waste its weaving achievements, but pearls will grow out of its eyes when it weeps."

This means that this kind of shark in the South China Sea is good at weaving, and can make dragon silk that is not wet in the water, and tears form beads. It is said that the oil of this shark has an extremely low ignition point, and once it is burned, it will last for thousands of years. It is widely rumored among the people. In the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, there is an ever-burning lamp that uses shark oil as fuel.

At this moment, Xiao Ling saw that the lamps in the palace that had been buried deep underground for thousands or even tens of thousands of years were still on, so he immediately thought of this kind of shark oil.

With the help of the light from the ever-burning lamp, everyone could see that the hall was very wide and deep, but it was empty, nothing at all.

Everyone looked at it for a while, and looked at each other in blank dismay. No one thought that this would be a magnificent empty palace.

After confirming that there was no danger, the few dwarves who pushed the palace door couldn't help being curious and started to walk in.

Xiao Ling also felt a little strange. This palace is called "Chang'e Prison". According to the literal meaning, it seems to be a prison where Chang'e is imprisoned, but there is nothing here now. Could it be that "Chang'e" has left? Or maybe there are other reasons. Does the "Chang'e" refer to a certain person's name, or is it actually a weapon like "Houyi", or is it the name of an aircraft as everyone guessed just now?

With doubts, everyone passed through the palace gate one after another and walked in.

Entering the palace, everyone looked very cautious. The hall was very empty, and it looked empty. There were no words or records carved on the four walls, but some runes were engraved on the ground.

It's just that even Xiao Ling couldn't understand these runes. When I asked these dwarves, I found that they all shook their heads, expressing that they also couldn't understand.

"Strange, since this is the palace built by the ancestors of the dwarves, how can the dwarves not understand the engraved words? Could it be that these are not words? They are some kind of spells?"

Xiao Ling frowned slightly.

Everyone walked towards the depths of the palace, and Xiao Ling found that the more they went in, the more complicated the spell patterns engraved on the surface became, and the ground gradually turned amber.

"It seems that there is something unusual in this palace, or there should be something under this palace."

Xiao Ling pondered. There are so many charms engraved on the ground, and the ground is even more amber in color, which makes it more and more obvious that there is something wrong with the palace.

The palace was about 100 meters deep, and everyone soon came to the end. As Xiao Ling guessed, there was no problem with the walls or the top. The only problem was at the bottom of the palace.

Walking to the deepest part of the deep hall, the original amber color became more and more transparent, and the last ten meters of the ground seemed to be completely transparent. It seemed that the last ten meters of the ground were a huge piece of amber.

In this almost transparent amber ground substance, everyone saw something.

Everyone paused, silently looking at the amber ground below, and instinctively took a deep breath.

A cicada is sealed in the transparent amber ground.

It was a gray-black cicada with two pairs of membranous wings on its back, a broad and short head, and a pair of compound eyes. It was sealed in the amber ground, motionless.

Most cicadas are not big in size. Xiao Ling has also seen cicadas, which are usually about two to five centimeters long. He remembered that the biggest emperor cicada in the world was only about seven centimeters long.

But when everyone saw the cicada in the amber ground, it was so big that it made one's scalp tingle.

Its body length reaches five meters.

"What kind of cicada is this? Even if there were giant insects in prehistory, it is impossible for a cicada to grow five meters long." Yi Shujuan couldn't help covering her mouth and whispering, with a look of horror on her face.
