With Yuan Ziyi guiding the direction, Taiyi and others drove all the way through the mountains and dug roads, heading straight to the center of Shimla.
The shape-shifting snake-men known as tribesmen rushed out from all directions and launched a desperate attack on them.
Yayoi let the elves decide their own tactics. There was only one strategy, which was to reach the center of Shimla - the temple of Maharaja as soon as possible.
After receiving the order, the elves no longer focused on killing the enemy, but prioritized defense and control. At this time, Shiki and Duo showed their power.
The spells of the Four Seasons are originally good at defense. The lush vegetation and vast mountains and forests here are very suitable for her to draw materials;
Duoduo's spells are endlessly varied and may lack strong attack power, but dealing with mobs, especially the diverse types of mobs, is easy.
Under the spiritual perception of Dabai and Yuan Ziyi, Mohu Luojia was unable to achieve his goal, whether he tried a sneak attack or dispatched elite soldiers, and could not stop everyone's steps at all.
"This is the Stupa Wave." Sitting on the boat and looking at the scenery, Nanzi had the leisure to spread the knowledge about the Peacock Kingdom to everyone.
As far as the eye can see, there are many ancient buildings with similar appearance but no repetition. Even if you don't consider the historical accumulation, just appreciating the appearance and layout is still a beautiful sight, which is hundreds of times better than the original Shimla.
There are three main types of structures in buildings, the most eye-catching is the stupor waves introduced by Nanzi.
The stupa is a hemispherical building that looks like a giant tomb in Daxia and an upside-down rice bowl, so this shape is called an "overturned bowl". It is said that its shape symbolizes the sky and looks very solemn. However, because of his deeper understanding of Daxia culture, Taiyi feels very awkward - it feels like walking through a cemetery.
The second type is a modified version of the stupor wave.
The base part of the stupa was raised to form a columnar tower body, and the covering bowl part was reduced to become a temple on the top. This kind of building was introduced by Nanzi as a pagoda.
Taiyi observed these pagodas carefully and found that they were different from the pagodas in Daxia in that they did not have layers of eaves.
The pagodas were the buildings that Taiyi and his group saw the most along the way. They were more than the stupas and sacrificial temples combined. They were tall or short, thick or thin, and there were all kinds of ingenious carvings, forming a forest of pagodas everywhere.
The third kind of buildings makes Taiyi a little confused. They are the grottoes.
What's the point of digging deep caves into those seemingly solid rock cliffs? Feeling uncomfortable?
"The Peacock people believe that there is some kind of connection between the depths of the earth and the gods. These caves are not for ordinary people to use. They are specially used for practitioners to practice or believers to perform religious rituals."
Nanzi explained to Taiyi.
"Look at the doors of those grottoes, they are all in the shape of flames. This design represents a very high level. So the grottoes are either rooms for practitioners or temples for priests."
"I like to dig deep into the earth, why not dig on the plains? It will definitely be closer to the gods there."
Taiyi always pays attention to the weird things.
"Maybe the rock is solid, so you can dig with ease, but the ground is soft, so they are afraid of landslides!" Yayoi gave a very unprofessional professional opinion.
Although Taichi didn’t understand architecture, he definitely knew that Yayoi was making nonsense.
Taichi's disdainful look made Yayoi very uncomfortable and had a tendency to get angry. Fortunately, the journey had reached the end, and a typical Peacock Kingdom-style building appeared in front of everyone.
This temple or shrine shows a "multi-level" style, with a small building roof, overhanging eaves and lattice windows, and most of the carvings, mural decorations and decorations are based on gods and deeds from traditional mythology, full of strong Peacock people's belief atmosphere. , noble and mysterious.
However, in Taiyi's view, this was just a very large tomb with a slightly higher base, but not yet at the level of a tower.
Taiyi commented that it was a "stuppet wave with short legs". It was indeed very large, with a height and width of nearly 100 meters. The thickness could not be seen, but it seemed similar. After all, it was a circular structure and the radius should be the same.
After approaching the temple, the snake men who were desperately sniping dispersed. Judging from their appearance, they were definitely not out of respect for the temple, but completely filled with incomparable fear.
"Is this great god Mohuraka very loved by believers? Do you even have his temple... his training room... his bedroom... his tomb?"
Taiyi mocked Mohuraka, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a name for this strange building.
"This is my sacrificial temple that connects heaven and earth, and it is also the temple where the Mohuraka tribe gathers and prays."
His tone was beautiful and clear, completely different from when he used mental waves to threaten everyone and drive the snakes. There was no harshness or harshness at all.
"March!" Yayoi was calm and unmoved by the enemy.
Entering the spacious and spacious hall, everyone found that thanks to the exquisite design, the interior lighting was very good, and they could see clearly with only a few candles.
From the center of the main hall to the entrance, there is a 50-meter wide walkway that can accommodate dozens of people walking side by side.
There were some pools filled with liquid on both sides, and there was a smell of blood. Taiyi couldn't tell what kind of blood it was, and instinctively felt that it was human blood.
Looking up, I saw a high platform built at the center of the circle corresponding to the dome. The largest blood pool was designed on the high platform, and Mohuraka was soaked in it, exposing the part above the collarbone.
"I originally wanted to invite you over so that we can solve this incident perfectly, but I didn't expect that we would end up fighting each other."
As Mohu Luojia spoke, he stood up from the pool of blood and faced everyone.
Snap—pop—
Yayoi and Nanzi rounded their arms on the left and right sides and patted Taichi's eyes.
"Ah——" Taiyi screamed in pain. After all, the purpose of strengthening his eyes was to strengthen his eyesight and rarely to strengthen his hardness.
For this situation, we can neither blame Yayoi and Nanzi nor Taichi. We can only blame Mohuraka for being a woman and not wearing any clothes.
Even though the slipping blood and long wet hair covered many important parts, Yayoi and Nanzi were still worried, fearing that Taichi would get a needle eye - their superficial reason.
"Human body, female form, snake tail!" Nanzi introduced the characteristics of Mahulaka to Taiyi who could only listen but not see.
Taiyi:o((⊙﹏⊙))o
What? I seem to have heard the appearance you described somewhere, such as some ancient myths of Daxia, or the crimson entry in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" clearly marked with great evil.
"Six arms!"
Nanzi added.
Taichi: ⊙(・◇・)?
I don't know why, but his appearance, which sounds even weirder, makes people feel much more at ease.
"Are you sure she's not Nuwa?" Taiyi wanted to confirm out of caution.
"Definitely not." It was Yuan Ziyi who answered Taiyi. She knew more about the top mountain and sea elves.
"This is Naga." Nanzi said with certainty.
