Behind the crowd, some ragged soldiers and bandits ran towards the Witch Sacrifice Shrine as if they were crazy.
Once a soldier dares to turn around to pick up something, he will be swallowed up by the thick fog that comes with him!
Hearing the fierce and abnormal roar in the mist, which soldier and bandit dared to look back, they could only run towards the shrine as if they were desperate.
Bang!
A soldier bumped into Yue Guanchao's shoulder, and the things in his hands rolled to the ground. They had no time to pick them up and staggered forward to escape.
The collision just now was not serious, but it made Yue Guanchao see the appearance of these soldiers and bandits clearly, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
After twenty or thirty years, the original soldiers and bandits were already fifty or sixty years old. However, they had not aged in Wu Coffin Town for many years and still retained their appearance of thirty or forty years old. He guessed that Wu Coffin Town could make them Man remains in his youthful state.
But then I thought about it and felt something was wrong. If this was really the case, then why did Ah Ying's parents and the crazy old lady age so prematurely?
All we can say is that the problem lies with these soldiers and bandits!
He had always guessed that all the soldiers and bandits had died after the disaster. Unexpectedly, there were still so many living people living here. Maybe the secret of the soldiers and bandits maintaining their appearance lay in their hiding place!
However, now is not the time to consider this matter!
The originally dark sky had become chaotic to the naked eye, like the setting sun at dusk.
They turned on the flashlights and could barely illuminate the streets in front of them. When they saw the Witch Sacrifice Shrine in front of them, everyone took a breath.
The Witch Sacrifice Temple in front of them was far beyond their imagination!
Yue Guanchao stood outside the shrine and searched for memories from childhood. The largest building he had ever seen was just a three-entry ancestral hall in the village. The shrine in front of him was at least as big as five or six ancestral halls. It was worthy of being the tallest priest in Wu Coffin Town. tower.
Everyone looked up and took a closer look. They saw a heavily fortified and majestic beast-headed dome tower standing on the rammed earth stone steps, towering over the surrounding residents with its absolute height.
On the top of the tower is a statue of a cow with a head and three legs cast in gold and bronze. The wings of the golden crow bend downward, supporting the auxiliary halls on the east and west sides of the tower like giant mountains. The bronze horns stretch upward, like two divine swords piercing the sky. The huge cow's mouth happens to be the entrance to the temple, and a copper button door is tightly closed!
Once a building in the wild is uninhabited and neglected to maintain, it will soon decay and decay. The rammed earth base is already covered with fine vines and wild grass and shrubs. If it weren't for its special shape, it would be indistinguishable from the surrounding hills and mountains.
They looked at it for a long time, and then from the position of the twelve condor pillars, they determined the rammed earth stone steps hidden among the ancient trees. The tattered flags and flags of unknown age were fluttering in the wind, giving them an indescribable sense of ancient mystery.
Yue Guanchao climbed up the stone steps along the vines. Standing on the stone steps, he could easily see the Xiejia Mountain behind the shrine.
They used to stand far away and thought that Cliche Mountain was very small.
At this moment, standing at the foot of the mountain, I finally understood how high Xiezhao Mountain is. It is perfect to use flat ground to raise the dangerous mountain and the top to hook the clouds.
He carefully observed the Xiejia Mountain behind the Witch Sacrifice Shrine and confirmed his guess - they were the two peaks in "The Secret of Zu Xian". Even if they were combined, it could be seen from the shape of the mountains that they were the peaks in the painting. !
It turns out that behind the Witch Sacrifice Shrine is the treasure of the previous dynasty.
Then, isn’t Zhong Liangsheng just guarding the golden bowl and begging for food?
Yue Guanchao didn't understand that even without this "Secret of Zu Xian", Zhong Liangsheng would have discovered the treasure in Xiejia Mountain twenty years ago.
This idea is just a guess. Yue Guanchao doesn't know the reason, so he can only suppress his curiosity temporarily.
"Look, there seems to be something moving in the thick fog?"
After listening to Ah Ying's words, everyone looked back carefully. It seemed as if a black shadow came out of the thick fog, waving its terrifying claws and splitting several soldiers and bandits from the head. Blood spattered on everyone's body.
"What the hell is this place!"
These monsters don't even have entities, they are just phantoms. They are so powerful.
If it is an illusion, it is a bit too real. The blood splashed on the face is actually hot!
"Let's go in quickly. If you don't go in, it will be too late."
When Wu Yueniang and Zhong Liangsheng saw that they had stopped where they were, they quickly stepped forward and opened the bronze button door of the shrine, shouting behind them.
Seeing the thick fog spreading to the bottom of the rammed earth platform, Yue Guanchao and the others took advantage of the monster to attack the lone soldiers and bandits, and ran into the shrine in one go.
There was a boom.
Aniu and Ahu closed the copper button door of the temple.
Yue Guanchao calmed down and looked inside the temple!
The main hall of the shrine is similar to a round-mouthed bowl, slightly narrower from top to bottom and wider in the middle. The two-story tower is completely hollow.
There are nine giant bronze statues of the original gods evenly distributed all around. In the gaps between the giant statues, there are square totem doors embedded in them, which can probably lead to other rooms.
He raised his head and took a closer look. Among the statues were the river gods, mountain ghosts, Shao Siming, and Da Siming that he had seen. There were also other statues that he had never seen before. They were probably gods such as Yun Zhongjun and Xiangshui God.
The paint color of these statues has been mottled and faded, and it is vaguely possible to identify which god they are.
They protrude from the wall with a weird and strange image, as if they are trying to break free from the wall. They are majestic and lifelike.
The beams, pillars, curtains, murals, and sacred flags everywhere in the hall are painted with ancient gods.
The caisson is hung with metal sutra boards, on which are engraved Su Shen Tian's inscriptions. Occasionally, when the wind blows, the rustling and jingling of bells sounds like a bronze waist bell, which makes everyone feel startled.
On the east and west walls stood copper tree candlesticks slightly taller than a person, with thousands of candles burning on them, and everything was gilded in the dim candlelight.
If you stare carefully at the statue of the god, you can even see many shadowy lights appearing from the statue and then disappearing.
Yue Guanchao turned his attention to the north wall of the main hall!
The walls are filled with spiritual cases that are as high as the dome, displaying hundreds of sacred tablets of the high priests of past dynasties. They are arranged downwards from least to most, looking like a pyramid of sacred tablets.
All the sacred tablets were made of black iron, and the candles on both sides made the altar eerie and eerie, making the temple seem extremely evil.
At their feet, there were many low chairs made of cattail grass. Judging from the uneven texture of the tops, many people from Wu Coffin Town worshiped their ancestors on them!
"stop?"
He wanted to continue observing, but a hoarse voice appeared in his ears.
