The palace on the top of the mountain is not big, not much bigger than the Earth Temple that is common in Middle-earth, and its style is somewhat similar to the Earth Temple. The entire palace is built with large pieces of black stone. Because this kind of black stone heats at a constant temperature, all parts of the hall are different. There is no ice or snow attached, and you can clearly see that there are many strange graphics and words carved on the black stone. These graphics and words are all dark red, and they have obviously been painted with cinnabar.
Even if Chang Sheng is very knowledgeable, he does not recognize these graphics and characters on the black stone. He can even recognize some oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions, but not these. It can be seen that these strokes between graphics and characters are An ancient writing that is older than the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
These ancient characters not only appear on the black stones that built the palace, but even the wooden doors are engraved with them. There are no windows in the entire palace, and there are only two wooden doors on the south side. The wooden doors are also black, presumably It is wood like sunken wood. The two door panels are planed from a whole piece of wood. The style is simple, crude and heavy.
Changsheng walked around the palace a few times. After careful inspection, he felt that this palace located on the top of the mountain should be an ancient temple. Ever since the advent of sacrifices, temples have been born. This is an extremely ancient building, far more advanced than Taoism. The temples and Buddhist monasteries appeared earlier
An ancient temple like this has two functions: one is to offer sacrifices to ancestors, and the other is to seal away evil spirits. The ancient red characters on the stone walls and wooden doors are often similar to the strokes of talismans, and cinnabar itself is also a kind of evil spirit. From this point of view, this temple should not be a peaceful existence, but although there is a bolt on the black wooden door, there is no lock. If the evil spirit is to be sealed, it should not be so hasty.
After a brief pause, Changsheng walked to the door and looked at the upper and lower door shafts, and found that the door shafts were severely worn. From this, he deduced that these two wooden doors were often opened. Since they were often opened, there would naturally be no evil spirits sealed inside.
Thinking of this, Changsheng raised his hand and pulled the door latch, then slowly opened the temple door.
As the wooden door opened, a white and greenish fluorescence appeared. Because the surroundings were pitch black before, Chang Sheng's eyes had become accustomed to the darkness. Suddenly, a light appeared, which made it difficult to see things clearly.
Although the fluorescence appeared very suddenly, Changsheng was not too nervous because he had seen similar light at the Taiping Inn before. It was the unique light of night pearls, but it was not as dazzling as before.
In just a blink of an eye, Changsheng's eyes adapted to the sudden fluorescence. He looked carefully and found that there was a three-foot stone platform directly north of the ancient temple. On the stone platform were two white jade statues of human height. The statues are of a man and a woman. The man is tall and strong, with wings on his back, holding a bow and arrow, with a serious expression, while the woman on the side is holding a baby in her arms and looking into the distance. The two figures are beautifully carved and lively.
The white and green fluorescence is emitted from these two figures. There is no doubt that these two figures are carved from the extremely rare luminous stone. A luminous pearl the size of a chicken egg is already priceless. These two figures The value of respecting a human statue to be as high as a real person is immeasurable.
After a short observation, Changsheng walked into the ancient temple. His previous judgment was correct. This ancient temple was indeed the place where Yu Ren worshiped, and the two figures carved in luminous stone were undoubtedly Yu Ren's ancestors.
There is a long altar in front of the portrait, with offerings including preserved meat and fruits placed on it. Two bronze incense burners are placed in the middle area.
After stepping forward to inspect the portrait and confirming that it was carved from luminous stone, Changsheng returned to the confessional and inspected the offerings placed on it. Since Yuren had already hid early, the offerings on the confessional were not very fresh and the meat was dry and cracked. , the fruit is dehydrated.
It wasn't until he inspected the incense burner in the center of the confession that Chang Sheng was keenly aware of the clues. The smell of incense ash in the incense burner was very strong. For Taoist priests who often burn incense, it is not difficult to judge when the incense ash was burned based on the residual smell. As a rough estimate, the last incense burner will never take more than three days.
In addition, there is still a package of unlit incense left on the confession. This kind of sandalwood incense wrapped in paper usually appears in the Central Plains area, and among the dehydrated fruits there are two red fruits, which are also produced. From the Central Plains region, it can be seen that although this place is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, the Feathered People still occasionally go to the Central Plains.
After observing the situation in the ancient temple, Changsheng already had a plan in his mind. He immediately walked out of the ancient temple, turned to the roof of the ancient temple, raised his left hand high, and activated the pure Yang spiritual energy to generate a raging fire from his left hand.
Da Tou didn't know that Chang Sheng was using this method to force Yu Ren who was hiding in the dark to show up. He just thought that he was providing light to everyone, "Your Majesty, don't bother, we can see."
Chang Sheng did not answer. As the saying goes, a monk who can run away cannot escape from the temple. Although Yu Ren hid out, he could not take away the statues of his ancestors with him. As long as Yu Ren found out that the statues of their ancestors were about to be destroyed, they would definitely come forward to stop them. You must know that demolishing an ancestral hall is equivalent to digging up a person's ancestral grave. Any descendant with a bit of blood will fight for his life.
It was pitch black all around, and the flames generated by the pure Yang spiritual energy looked extremely dazzling in the darkness. Even the feathered man who was left to look after the house could clearly see it from hundreds of miles away.
Chang Sheng is not worried about whether the Yu people can communicate normally after they appear, because since they occasionally sneak into Middle-earth, it means that the Yu people here are not completely isolated from the world, and they are very likely to be able to understand the Han at this time. talk.
There were only about sixty houses on the ground. Datou and the others searched separately and soon searched them all. However, the four of them found nothing. This showed that the Yuren who made the incense earlier was not hiding in the city.
After waiting for a long time, Yuren still didn't show up, and Datou and others searched the city and found nothing. Changsheng could only raise his energy and make a sound while stimulating the fire. He only knew that everyone on his side had no ill intentions. The reason why he ignited the flames was just In order to attract the attention of everyone in the Yu clan, everyone on our own side just wanted to ask them something and would never hurt them.
Hearing Changsheng's voice, Datou cast Immortal Jump to the top of the mountain. He first looked at the scene in the temple, then raised his head and shouted, "Hey, Your Majesty, do they not understand human language?"
"You should understand." Changshengdian said casually, and then continued to shout. He not only wanted to make Yuren feel that the ancient temple with the statues of his ancestors was in danger, but also wanted to prevent Yuren who was hiding in the dark from going to report the news and attracting people. The feathered men came out in full force and came to fight for their lives.
Chang Sheng was the leader of his own group. In Da Tou's opinion, he should not be the one to do this kind of shouting, so he took the initiative and shouted at the top of his lungs.
After shouting several times but no Yuren showed up, Datou began to slightly adjust the content of his shouting. He swore and threatened. He only said that he could swear to God that he would never hurt the other party. He also said that if the other party continued to pretend to be dead, He will destroy temples, demolish homes, and destroy other people's homes.
After racking his brains and shouting until his mouth went dry, the Yuren never appeared. Datou began to wonder if there was really a Yuren hiding nearby, "My lord, could it be that they didn't leave anyone to look after the house at all?"
"No, someone must have offered incense within three days." Changsheng said.
Hearing Changsheng's words, Datou could only bite the bullet and continue shouting.
Still not seeing a response from the other party, Datou became frustrated and discouraged. He was about to call Shi Xuanming to come up and replace him, but a slightly vibrato response suddenly came from not far away, "Seriously..."
