Volume One: Burning Immortals in Zushan - Sushen Altar Chapter 95: Sacrifice Community

"To be precise, it is not a gate, but a reminder building in front of the altar, like an archway in front of a town or a light stand in front of a store, which serves to remind visitors."

"It's just that a disaster may have occurred thousands of years ago, causing the peaks on both sides to squeeze into each other, and this is how the Tianmen statue is formed today!"

"Look!"

Song Siyuan turned on the flashlight and shined it at Tianmen:

"If it is really the altar gate, it will never be placed under the waterfall. Running water has an erosion effect. If the gate is placed here, it will only speed up the destruction. The wild vines between the boulder rings may have been washed down by the waterfall and accidentally entered the cracks. It’s taken root and sprouted.”

"Moreover, I feel like the inlay on the Heavenly Gate is not copper at all, but red gold!"

Song Siyuan's words aroused everyone's curiosity.

Yue Guanchao's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it: "Red gold?"

"right!"

Song Siyuan motioned them to look at the giant statues on the left and right sides:

"If you think about it carefully, the statues far away from the waterfall are covered with patina. The stone gate that has been washed away by the waterfall for thousands of years has no rust at all. Why is this?"

"I think only pure gold can withstand water vapor for thousands of years without rusting. This also confirms one thing from the side. The treasures of the previous dynasty that your second uncle mentioned are most likely referring to the gold veins!"

A look of sudden realization flashed in her eyes, and she continued to explain to the confused three people:

"The town of Wu Coffin has been able to last for thousands of years because of its gold mines, and it has therefore become the ancestor of all ethnic groups in the north. It is believed and respected by the royal family of any dynasty. As for the beliefs they talk about, that is just the icing on the cake. !”

"And more importantly, gold has been an extremely precious metal since ancient times. If the gold reserves here are insufficient, would they really dare to embed such a huge sky gate with gold pieces?"

Song Siyuan's words were indeed true. Yue Guanchao walked quickly up the hundreds of stone steps to the Tianmen. He took a machete and slightly chopped off the gold pieces. Sure enough, the golden core was visible.

"If all the gold is removed, we will be rich!"

Yue Guanchao's eyes flashed when he saw the gold, just like a mouse touching lamp oil and rubbing it on the gold piece.

Regarding the Tianmen Golden Piece, Song Siyuan seemed worried. She looked at the world behind the arch:

"Do you think the gold in the altar is easy to get? Why hasn't the gold on the Tianmen been scraped away for thousands of years? Think about the outcome of Tang Dianrong and his party!"

These words made everyone feel terrified!

"Let's go, why don't you go in when you get to the door and see what's inside?"

After Song Siyuan finished speaking, they walked through the arch and entered the Tianmen.

As soon as we entered the Tianmen, the canyon suddenly became dark, as if we were entering pitch-black twilight. Only the dozens of large and small grottoes above us illuminated the hazy white light, like several lampposts, barely allowing everyone to see the canyon clearly.

Song Siyuan waved her flashlight and looked around, suddenly realizing: "I finally understand why we can't see any traces of altars on the mountainside."

"It's rocks!"

She paused and continued to explain to everyone in an excited tone:

"When these two mountains squeezed each other, all the gravel on the mountainside collapsed. Perhaps by chance, large pieces of rock accumulated at the bottom of the mountain, forming a stone shell and earth dome suspended above the altar. This hole is the large There is a gap that cannot be covered by a mountain of rocks.”

"To be precise, the altar was buried alive, but miraculously it was completely preserved under the stone dome. I think someone may have discovered the secret here not long after the disaster, so the Sushen tribe built the Xishan Plank Road, which can lead directly to the cliff. bottom."

Song Siyuan came from a journalism background and was very interested in this kind of historical buildings left behind for various reasons. She couldn't help but speed up and continue on her way.

Yue Guanchao walked through the stone dome, and there were piles of collapsed gravel on both sides of the mountain wall. This directly confirmed that the altar was squeezed into the earth shell after the mountain disaster. In addition, there were sacrificial artifacts scattered outside!

Bronze masks as big as carriages are covered with patina and scattered all over the cliff.

The Eagle God's pillar was broken upside down. Even though it was broken, it still held up the rock firmly.

The bronze sacred tree can be as tall as a pavilion. On its rough branches, thousands of golden crows shine in various postures.

The sundial star disk is as big as a city gate. It no longer indicates the seasons and solar terms. It is like a silent old man, buried by the mound of earth until only half of the disk is left.

The Tianyi machine uses a delicate machine spring to provide power. It occasionally rotates a few times like a flashback, and makes a creaking and booming sound from time to time!

The tall and mysterious bull-headed golden crow sculptures, the powerful and realistic bronze statues... This place is like a ruined temple with decaying incense. There are still several dilapidated and decayed mountain gods. They are dead and can only tell the glory of the past with corrosion and patina!

Song Siyuan walked and took pictures, her tone mixed with excitement: "The sacrificial rituals here are completely different from those of the Central Plains Dynasty. It can be said to be its own school and unique. Judging from the exquisiteness of the bronze vessels, their civilization is not inferior to the Central Plains civilization. "

When everyone reached the end of the ruins, a strange building complex full of mysterious atmosphere was located in front of them!
