Everyone fell onto the Multicolored Altar, knocking over a pile of ancient books carved from jade and stone slabs. With a loud crash, the altar was in a mess.
The ancient bronze coffin was lying on the side. There were many greenish-copper rust stains on it, but they couldn't cover the vague bronze engravings. They seemed to be ancient deities, and they all had tear stains on them.
They were so close to each other that they could touch them with just a stretch of their hand. This made everyone feel fear, and a chill ran down their spines.
This Multicolored Altar, which had existed for countless years, was built by the ancient people to offer sacrifices to the heavens. Could it be that those ancient sovereigns could really summon something?
At this moment, everyone suddenly felt a desolate and ancient aura circulating around, causing their emotions to surge.
At this moment, the nine dragon corpses and the bronze coffin were lying in front of them. Could it be that they were really summoned by the Multicolored Altar?
According to legend, long before the Qin Emperor Han Wu, the ancient Three Sovereigns, Five Emperors, and 72 Kings had held a great ceremony here. What did they summon?
The multicolored brilliance flickered, and the jade and stone slabs on the Multicolored Altar suddenly became translucent. The ancient characters engraved on them all flickered and emitted a gentle light.
"Kacha, kacha!"
The sound of shattering rang out. The piles of jade and stone slabs suddenly cracked, and then rays of light rushed out. The ancient characters engraved on them seemed to have a life of their own as they all rushed out and floated in the air.
"Chi, chi, chi!"
More and more ancient characters shone brightly and floated in the air. Soon after, those jade blocks and stone slabs turned into ashes in a gust of wind. All the ancient characters engraved on the jade blocks and stone slabs were freed from their shackles.
Above the ancient bronze coffin, around the huge pit, there were thousands of ancient characters shining. They seemed to be completely cast from molten iron, and they had the luster and texture of metal.
"Kacha, kacha!"
The sound of shattering rang out again. The nearby small Multicolored Altars also flashed with ancient characters and floated in the air.
There seemed to be stars flickering around the bronze coffin, looking even more mysterious under the blood-red sunset.
There were a few other people on Jade Emperor Peak who had not fled down the mountain during the chaos not long ago. But at this moment, seeing Ye Fan and the others fall into the huge pit and seeing such a strange scene, all of them were terrified and rushed down the mountain.
Amidst the chaos, some people fell down. Cries of pain and cries for help rang out continuously.
At the same time, the glowing ancient characters in the sky gathered together, gradually forming a huge eight trigram. A mysterious power vibrated out.
This was a shocking scene. Those ancient characters and symbols possessed incredible power. After they condensed together, they manifested into a huge Eight Trigrams, shrouding the bronze ancient coffin and the nine dragon corpses. It had the density and texture of metal, as if it was forged from refined gold essence.
"I want to leave this place!" Someone in the pit cried.
"My body can't move …" Everyone found it hard to move. Fear grew in their hearts, but they couldn't change anything.
"That is …"
At this moment, a Tai Chi diagram appeared in the center of the Eight Trigrams in the air, with two Yin and Yang fishes hugging each other.
Even in this modern era of science and technology, the profound meaning of the ancient Tai Chi diagram still hadn't been deciphered. Someone had once calculated the orbital speed of the stars based on the corresponding relationship between the stars and the Eight Trigrams using astronomical parameters. And the founder of the modern computer binary system was also deeply inspired after studying the Tai Chi diagram and succeeding in one fell swoop.
The ancient Tai Chi diagram was still a fascinating mystery to people today. How was it created, what was its use, and what was the purpose of creating it? So far, there were only legends and inaccurate conjectures, but no conclusive evidence.
At this moment, Ye Fan and the others saw a major unknown function of the Tai Chi diagram. It was actually related to space and time.
Around the huge Tai Chi diagram, space was distorted and light was misty. The corresponding Eight Trigrams symbols of Qian, Kun, Xun, Dui, Gen, Zhen, Li, and Kan emitted light one after another, like a group of mysterious and ancient codes shining.
The two Yin and Yang fishes in the Tai Chi diagram were like two strange doors. They constantly trembled and slowly opened a gap, as if they were connected to the distant and unknown starry sky.
The brilliance continued to shine, and the eight symbols of the Eight Trigrams flickered. Finally, after changing in a complicated order many times, they all lit up at the same time, emitting a dazzling light.
"Boom!"
With a dull vibration, the two Yin and Yang fishes in the center of the Tai Chi diagram slowly opened. During this process, starlight flashed from time to time, and even an ancient starry sky path could be seen.
Finally, the Yin and Yang fishes completely opened like a door, revealing a mysterious and huge passage. It was unknown where it led to, but it was pitch black inside.
At the same time, on the peak of Mount Tai, the nine huge dragon corpses actually trembled, and at this time, the copper coffin also emitted a loud "clang" sound, shaking violently.
Ye Fan and the others were very close, close to the copper coffin. Many people were so shocked that they shouted, and many female students even cried.
"What should we do?"
"Help …"
In this kind of situation, everyone felt very helpless, and many female students cried loudly.
At the same time, some strong-willed people were bewildered as they stared at the huge ancient bronze coffin. The coffin lid actually deviated from its position in the shaking, revealing a large gap in the ancient coffin, and a strange aura spread out.
"Clang!"
The copper coffin shook again, and the coffin lid almost fell off. An inexplicable invisible force pulled everyone. In the next moment, everyone felt the world spin, and then everything went black. Everyone had entered the copper coffin.
"Ah …"
"Help!"
Some people were on the verge of breaking down, crying out in fear.
"Bang!"
The nine huge dragon corpses hanging on the cliff were shaking. At the same time, the lid of the ancient bronze coffin made a loud sound, and then completely returned to its original position.
Then, the nine dragon corpses that were like mountains soared into the sky. Although they still did not show any signs of life, they pulled the bronze coffin and slowly entered the dark and mysterious passage constructed by the Eight Trigrams of Taiji.
"Boom!"
The entire Mount Tai shook violently, as if the sky was about to collapse. On the Jade Emperor Peak, a five-colored divine light shot into the sky, connecting the heaven and the earth.
Then, the moment the blood-red sunset disappeared, the peak of Mount Tai also dimmed in an instant. The huge Tai Chi diagram in the sky completely closed and slowly disappeared.
The nine dragons pulling the coffin disappeared without a trace!
All the jade pieces and stone slabs on the five-colored altar were turned into ashes. A gentle breeze blew, and the ashes were scattered with the wind.
Everything that happened under the blood-red sunset was destined to cause an uproar that would spread to every corner of the world. Mount Tai would inevitably become the focus of the world, but all of this had nothing to do with Ye Fan and the others.
The inside of the ancient bronze coffin was pitch-black, and an icy chill permeated the air. Some female students were on the verge of breaking down. Their hearts were filled with helplessness and fear, but they did not dare to cry out loud. They all suppressed their emotions and voices, and quietly whimpered.
"What should we do? Who can save us?"
"Are we really inside the bronze coffin?"
"Why is it like this? Is there any way to get out?"
People were constantly dialing with their phones, but they could not get through. They could not contact the outside world, and this was even more frightening.
"Everyone, don't be afraid. Although we can't contact the outside world for now, such a shocking event has happened on Mount Tai. The outside world will be the first to know about it. I believe that the rescue team will arrive soon." Zhou Yi appeared very calm. His words made everyone feel a little more at ease.
"Zhou Yi is right. Everyone, don't panic. We must remain calm. I believe that we will be safe." Wang Ziwen's voice was also very calm, and his words calmed everyone's emotions.
"That's right. Everyone, don't panic. It has already happened. No matter how much we fear, it is useless. The most important thing is to find a way to escape." Although Lin Jia was a woman, she was very calm at this moment. She did not panic.
Ye Fan did not say anything. He sat there quietly. The dark and mysterious passage constructed by the Tai Chi diagram appeared in front of him from time to time. At this moment, was he still on the Jade Emperor Peak? He had a bad feeling about this.
With the help of the weak light from the cell phone, he could see many terrified faces. Many of them were pale, and some were even trembling.
Li Xiaoman was not far away. She sat there hugging her knees. Although her face was a little pale, she appeared very calm. Next to her was the American youth named Cade. The two of them were talking in low voices in English.
Liu Yunzhi's hands were clenched so tightly that his knuckles had turned white. He was obviously very nervous, but he did not show any signs of fear.
In fact, everyone present was very uneasy. After all, they were inside an ancient bronze coffin.
"Has everyone fallen into the bronze coffin? Let's confirm the number of people present. "
"One, two, three … twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty!" When they reached the thirtieth person, the student in charge of counting the number of people said in a trembling voice, "How could there be … thirty people?!"
There were a total of thirty-three students in the class. At the beginning of the gathering, three people were studying abroad and could not participate. The other five could not make it because of some special reasons.
But this time, when they came to Mount Tai, the three students had already returned, but the other five students still could not make it. A total of twenty-eight people had arrived at Mount Tai. If Li Xiaoman's American classmate, Cade was included, there should be twenty-nine people.
At this moment, how could there be thirty people? In this cold and dark ancient coffin, at this moment, everyone felt their hair stand on end. Chills ran down their spines.
