"This is probably the altar you mentioned!"
Song Siyuan pointed to the mysterious building ahead.
The building in their eyes is not a single pavilion, but a sacrificial community covering an area of hundreds of acres. Fortunately, it is located in a wide area on the mountain wall. If it were in the middle of the mountainside, there would be no room for such a large building complex!
Yue Guanchao stood in the distance and looked carefully. There were no walls around the entire sacrificial community. There were only double-eaves palace buildings serving as gates in all directions. Towers tens of meters high stood in the southeast and northwest corners. They were interconnected with the palace buildings with high platforms and flying pavilions. Outline of the building complex.
On the top of the flying pavilion, there are many golden crows with ox heads and wings screaming, standing towards the sky like living creatures. The appearance has long been corroded and rusted, and mottled dust falls from time to time.
As they walked, they said that a tea-cup man had passed through the palace building and entered the sacrificial building complex.
When they reached the center of the building, they discovered that the real altar was just a bright hall on a stone base.
"Why is there a bright hall here?"
Although Yue Guanchao didn't recognize most of the buildings here, he could clearly see the shape of the Mingtang.
Song Siyuan observed for a moment and felt that her eyes were foggy. She said in a confused tone:
"Along the way, the civilization here is clearly independent of the Central Plains, but why Mingtang still appears, I don't know yet."
"But from the perspective of architectural form, this Mingtang does follow the concept of a round sky and a square place, and is similar to the shape of the Central Plains!"
She carefully observed the Mingtang. The building was in the shape of a "well", consisting of three floors of pavilions. On the foundation were built stone steps with the word "Ya". The first floor was a hexagonal hall, and then a square pavilion was built. The top pavilion is covered with a dome, painted red and covered with black tiles.
Song Siyuan stared at the bright hall for a long time, her heart suddenly thumped, and her eyes widened involuntarily:
"No, no, this is not the Mingtang, this is the Yin Tower, a Yin Tower used to suppress the dead!"
Song Siyuan's startled reaction shocked everyone. Yue Guanchao looked at her:
"It can't be possible. There is no Yin Tower in the shape of a bright hall. It's neither fish nor fowl. This is it!"
When Song Siyuan spoke, her pupils were bright:
"At first I thought it was Mingtang, but if you think about it carefully, what is the status of Mingtang!"
"In the eyes of the ancients, the Mingtang's status was extremely important, equal to that of the ancestral temple's altar. It was rumored that it enlightened heaven and controlled all things. Here the emperor could not only observe the world, but also declare politics and teach. It embodies the divine connection between heaven and man. position.
"At the same time, the construction of such a majestic Mingtang requires the support of strong national strength, and not just anyone can build it!"
"But if you look at this Yin Tower again, it's just similar in shape. The architectural pattern and building volume are not comparable to the real Mingtang. Even the things used are evil!"
Yue Guanchao took the telescope and looked at it carefully. The outer wall of the Yin Tower was densely packed with reliefs of immortals, demons and beasts. The faces painted were all extremely evil. From a distance, it seemed as if there were thousands of ferocious faces inlaid on the wall. If you didn't look carefully, you would still be there. It's really easy to think of them as auspicious cloud patterns.
As for the tiles on each floor of the pavilion, they are not made of black lacquer glazed tiles, but scales!
Each scale is about the size of a bowl, and has a dark and chaotic color. It is probably scraped from an adult python. When you get closer and smell it, you can clearly smell the fishy smell of the scales of a cold-blooded animal.
Under the eaves and corners of the three-story pavilion, most of the triangular flags were decorated with strange runes. After Ah Ying reminded me, I realized that these were Sushen tribe's soul-calling flags!
In addition, the decorations around the altar are also unusual!
He found that the left and right sides of the altar were centered around the altar, and each involved dozens of bronze chains.
These chains interlocked with each other to form the shape of a dragon in the air, with a mysterious black coffin connected to each joint and bone.
Most of the bottoms of all the coffins are carved with dragon bodies. Eighty-one coffins are no more and no less, forming a complete dragon body.
If you stand at a high place, you will find that the dragon body and coffin formation are facing each other, which is exactly the image of the dragon holding the pearl!
Under the coffins, there are puppets hanging from the four corners of each coffin.
These dolls were similar in size to normal people and wore scary ghost masks. Yue Guanchao could tell at a glance that the image of the dolls had already appeared in the ancient scroll "The Secrets of Ancestor Xian" - they were the priests and witches surrounding the Great Xianbei Witch. The complicated and gorgeous long-sleeved sacrificial robes are all exactly the same.
Looking from a distance, the sky above the entire sacrificial building is filled with bright red silk, and as the coffin shakes and shakes, there is a unique sense of horror.
"Sister Siyuan, what on earth is this?"
Ah Ying's eyes widened. The function of this building was probably unconventional.
"The Yin Tower usually suppresses evil things. Could it be that there really is the evil god mentioned by Tang Dianrong here!"
After Song Siyuan finished speaking, a cold wind happened to blow around the altar. The red silk above everyone's heads was disturbed. For some reason, they could always feel the dangerous atmosphere!
