The location of the temple is particularly close to Wu Sanxing's camp. When they stood at Wu Sanxing's camp and looked up the mountain, they could see a black building, which was the temple.
After walking in, I discovered that the temple is now a relatively well-protected multi-story building. The entire building appears black.
The temple has very ancient reliefs on its prisms and walls. From a distance, it looks like tiny patterns on boulders. However, when you get closer, you will find that most of the place has collapsed, leaving only a rough shape, and you don't even know where the door is.
Wuxie found some reliefs on the wall that had not yet collapsed, and Fatty also gathered around to take a look.
Lu Yao sat down on the side holding the plate. To be honest, he had no interest in these reliefs because he couldn't understand them.
Lu Yao thought for a while and moved closer to Wu Xie with the idea that since she had been forced into this industry, she still had to learn a little bit about this industry.
Wuxie was pointing at a chaotic relief on the wall of the mural and said, "Look here, the ancestors worshiped a poisonous snake with a comb, which should be the neck of a pheasant."
"They poured the pheasant necks into a stone tower. Many people knelt around the stone tower. There was also a priest here presiding over the ceremony."
The fat man looked at the relief with disgust, "What is there to believe in this damn thing?"
Wuxie disagreed, "It's not unusual to regard snakes as totems. Many ethnic minorities worship snakes."
"Look at this picture, this picture is very clear. Judging from the clothes of these ancestors, they should be people from the Motherland of the Western Queen. It seems that they hope that the motherland will be invaded, and the other party is a relatively powerful civilization. Judging from the battle situation, Queen Mother Xi is going to lose."
The fat man pointed at the relief, "The Queen Mother of the West's army is all infantry, and the other side's team is all cavalry, and you see the other side's commander is sitting on an eight-horse chariot. Could this be King Loulan?" ?”
"Look here, Queen Mother Xi seems to have poured something into the tower, and then the snake inside crawled out and fought the enemy in darkness."
The fat man laughed and said, "It seems that this pheasant's neck is a warrior."
Aning suddenly pointed to a relief and said, "Come and take a look here."
After Wuxie came, he discovered that this entire relief carving was a huge city.
"This should be the West Queen Mother City. You see, the passages below are common. Snakes live in the passages below the city. And once you encounter danger, use something to lure the snakes out to meet the enemy. This is all designed In terms of defense, this snake is venomous and fast, and no one can stop it.”
The fat man looked at the things on the relief that people used to feed to the necks of leaf chickens with some confusion.
"Why do I feel like these things they feed are human heads?"
"How is that possible?" Wuxie retorted subconsciously, "If they need to feed human heads, how many people in the Western Queen Mother Kingdom would give...it seems like they really have human heads."
Aning pointed at the head on the mural and asked innocently, "Do you think this looks like something we encountered?"
The fat man said doubtfully, "Are these the human heads in the jars under the boat in Devil City? They look a bit similar to me."
yUe～
Hearing the fat man mention the pile of heads, Lu Yao couldn't help but want to vomit again.
Wuxie remembered what the fat man said, "You mean the Queen Mother of the West jar? The human heads in that jar are all the eggs of the Corpse Turtle King. Does this pheasant love to eat the Corpse Turtle King?"
Lu Yao looked at them with a puzzled look. In the original book, it was said that the pheasant neck eats the corpse of the king of crickets? Why don't I remember? Which chapter is it mentioned in?
In a moment of distraction, I heard that Wuxie had already deduced. It was King Mu of Zhou who attacked the Kingdom of the Western Queen.
"There is a legend that King Mu of Zhou led seven groups of people to the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West to have a banquet with the Queen Mother of the West and seek the magic of immortality."
The fat man smiled evilly, "It seems that King Mu of Zhou did attack here, but he was defeated by the poisonous snakes here. In order to cover up his failure, he made up such a story."
Aning nodded, agreeing with Fatty's speculation, "Yes, no wonder people here raise snakes as gods. This thing protects their country."
The fat man touched his chin and thought, "You think of these pheasant neck corpse-eating crickets, who is more poisonous?"
He knows this question. "It must be the poison in the pheasant's neck. Have you forgotten that we are on the edge of a cliff, and the corpse frog king doesn't dare to run down?"
Wu Xie didn't care about the issues they were discussing. Anyway, there was no Corpse King here.
Walking up to the little brother, he was looking at the center of the stone wall.
The carving above shows a scene of a huge snake, surrounded by many pheasant necks, fighting each other. The huge snake is wrapped around a huge tree, and the pheasant necks are wrapped around it like decoration.
The fat man looked at the relief in surprise, "Is this an exaggeration? Why do I think there are more snakes than people here?"
Wu Xie carefully looked at the content on the relief, "It should be a scene of a double-scaled python fighting with a pheasant's neck. It seems that there were already two kinds of snakes here during the Queen Mother of the West. Judging from the murals, this double-scaled python is fighting with the neck of a pheasant." Pythons should be the natural enemies of pheasant necks.”
"No," although Lu Yao couldn't read the reliefs, he remembered, "Have you forgotten? When the snakes shed the jungle, the pheasant neck and the two-forest python had a cooperative relationship."
"That's right, Pheasant Neck drove us to where the two-scaled python was."
The fat man said doubtfully: "But Aning, didn't you say that you heard music in that place and suspected that the pheasant's neck was driven by someone?"
Lu Yao shook his head. "Whether the pheasant's neck is controlled by someone or not, he and the double-scaled python should not be natural enemies."
Zhang Qiling touched the pattern on the relief and said lightly. "It's mating."
"Mating? It's exciting!" The fat man covered Lu Yao's eyes, "Children, don't watch this, it hurts your eyes."
"Mixed species mating?" Wuxie looked at the relief in surprise. "These are two completely different snakes, and their sizes are so different. How do they mate?"
