After turning a corner, a very large valley suddenly opened up in front of us, estimated to be one-tenth the size of the Longmen Town we just left.
On the left side of the valley is a huge lake, which occupies about one-third of the valley. There is a flat land beside the lake with green grass. Looking to the right, there are towering trees. The woods extend to the mountains on the right. Lower your head. Looking at the road below, it obviously leads to the lake, but ends when it reaches the lake.
Han Xiaosheng went down the mountain and took a look at the lake. It was such a big lake, about the size of about 10 football fields. The water was clear. If you look closely, you can see fish swimming in the water. There are messy piles of rocks on the shore. .
The lake water kept rippling. On the other side of the lake was a valley. The lake water kept overflowing from the lake shore and flowing down the valley. There was a place in the valley with a large drop, forming a waterfall. The sound of water just heard was the impact of the waterfall. Han Xiaosheng felt uncomfortable. When the water level of the lake drops, it is estimated that there are springs in the lake and living water is constantly replenishing it.
There is a large grassland beside the lake, with wild flowers of various colors blooming on the grass, and wild bees flying among the flowers.
Looking around the valley, Han Xiaosheng saw what seemed to be the shadow of a house in the gaps between the trees. A closer look revealed that there were vague paths in the grass leading deep into the woods.
After hesitating for a while, Han Xiaosheng took out his dagger and shield, put his cell phone in his right trouser pocket, and was ready to return to the real world at any time, then walked cautiously into the woods along the path.
As we walked forward, the buildings deep in the woods began to reveal their true appearance bit by bit. This was a Taoist temple. The Taoist temple was not large in scale. There was a plaque hanging at the gate with two large Chinese characters "Zhenwu Temple" written on it. The traditional Chinese characters are a bit incomplete, but can still be vaguely discerned.
Seeing the sign of Zhenwu Temple, he was 50% sure that this valley should be the location of the Xuanwu symbol. The place opened with the key was either the lake or the Zhenwu Temple.
Thinking of this, he planned to search carefully, maybe he could also find the inheritance secretly left by Emperor Zhenwu.
This Zhenwu looks like no one is living there anymore. The courtyard door is open and looks to be of good quality and well-preserved. However, the courtyard wall seems to be in a bit of disrepair.
Han Xiaosheng walked into the yard carefully and found that there was a corridor paved with bluestones at his feet. At the end of the corridor was a hall. A statue of a god could be vaguely seen. The weeds in the yard were as high as his knees. It was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.
There are 4 houses on the left. One of them looks like a toilet. The other 3 rooms have plaques on them. The characters are a bit small and cannot be seen clearly. The doors are open and there is no movement in the house.
There are three rooms on the right side. There is a big tree in front of the house. The tree is not tall, but its trunk is as big as two people hugging each other. The crown of the tree is like an umbrella, covering almost half of the weeds on the right side. Next to the big tree are the three rooms. At the entrance, the door was half open, and after a quick glance, the room was empty.
Considering that the houses on both sides were open, Han Xiaosheng estimated that there were no good things inside, and if there were good things, others would take them away, so he walked into the main hall.
The main hall is quite large, estimated to be hundreds of square meters.
Facing a statue of a god, the paint on the statue is a bit mottled, but it can still be seen that the statue is a middle-aged man with disheveled hair, bare feet, wearing a red robe, golden armor, and a belt around his waist. A jade belt, holding a long sword in the right hand, the tip of the sword pointing to the sky, holding the armor on the thigh with the left hand, sitting on a monster, this monster has the body and head of a turtle, and a ferocious snake is wrapped around the monster's body.
This statue should be the god worshiped by Zhenwu Temple. According to the name of the Taoist temple, Han Xiaosheng thought that there is an Emperor Zhenwu in the Taoist mythology of the earth. According to the description in the myth, this statue is exactly the same as Emperor Zhenwu. It should be right. Emperor Zhenwu is from The Earth's.
Could it be that the spiritual energy of the earth began to become thinner, so Emperor Zhenwu came all the way from the starry sky to this world, and after he dominated the world, he renamed this continent Zhenwu Continent?
Probably!
Looking in front of the statue, there is an offering table with an incense burner on it. The offering table is a bit decayed and there is no incense ashes in the incense burner. It seems that no one has used incense for a long time.
Thinking that the statue enshrined here was most likely to be Emperor Zhenwu, a fellow from Earth, Han Xiaosheng bent down, bowed, and muttered:
"Emperor Zhenwu, I am also from the earth and am your fellow countryman.
I came to your Taoist temple and I should give you a stick of incense. However, I went out in a hurry this time and didn’t bring offerings and incense candles. I gave you a taste of the candies and biscuits of this era. Next time I come over, I will bring some offerings and The incense candle is here to offer you a stick of incense.
I have just started in this world and am still a rookie. You are already a powerful person. Please bless me to go smoothly in this world, especially let me get the opportunities you left behind on the road of cultivation. "
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a thunder in the sky outside the house, which startled him. He didn't know if it was going to rain, or if Emperor Zhenwu really heard his words.
Han Xiaosheng did not dare to mutter anymore, put away his shield, took out candies and biscuits from his bag, placed them on the altar table, and bowed again.
Holding the dagger, he walked around the statue and found nothing. He began to look at the murals on the wall. As for the traditional Chinese characters arranged vertically on the murals, he was not interested.
Looking at the mural, he slowly turned to the back of the statue. When he was looking at the mural on the wall behind the statue, he was suddenly startled.
The sunlight coming in from the window shone on the mural. Han Xiaosheng always felt that something was wrong with the mural in front of him. He slowly moved his body left and right, and finally found something wrong.
In the center of the mural is a person standing with a blurred face, clasping his hands. Han Xiaosheng moved a little to the left and found that the person's right hand was a little off. Han Xiaosheng moved a little to the right and found that the person's right hand seemed to be stretched forward. Some.
Han Xiaosheng simply moved his body slowly from the left side to the right side of the mural, and found that the man in the mural was not only moving his hands, but also stepping forward with his right foot, probably doing something.
After thinking for a long time, his eyes lit up. Could this be the martial arts passed down by Emperor Zhenwu, such as Zhenwu Nine Styles, Zhenwu Boxing, Zhenwu Kicks, etc.?
Even things like time travel have occurred. The statue of the Zhenwu Emperor that is the same as the one on Earth appears here. It is possible to leave behind martial arts and cultivation methods.
Thinking of this, Han Xiaosheng simply put away the dagger, took out the newly bought mobile phone, and saw that there was still one-third of the battery. It should be able to support for a while. There was no need to charge immediately, so he turned on the camera mode, started recording, and then started recording from the mural. Starting from the far left, slowly moving to the right, the slow motion lasted for 2 minutes and was finally completed.
Replay the video and speed up the playback. Sure enough, there is a complete set of actions in the video.
After walking around the statue of the god, he found 7 murals. Han Xiaosheng hurriedly took pictures one by one and switched to photo mode. He took photos of each painting several times. He would wait until he returned to the real world to think about it slowly and see what the paintings said. What.
After the harvest, Han Xiaosheng was full of enthusiasm. He put his mobile phone in his pocket, took out his shield and dagger, and began to search carefully in the hall inch by inch. He also observed the situation in the hall from different angles, lest he missed any treasures. He even touched the front, back, and bottom of the statue for a long time, and beat it everywhere on the ground.
After working for more than ten minutes, my fingers hurt and I was tired, but still got nothing.
Seeing that there would be no more oil or water in the hall, Han Xiaosheng left the hall.
