"If there is really something suppressed inside, let's untie the runes and not release the contents."
Before Yue Erpao finished speaking, everyone gradually began to think about retreating, and their thoughts of preparing for action also stopped. The old witch was just asking for money, but she was not afraid of death. She wanted to go in even though she knew there was an evil thing from ten thousand years ago. This was not right. Is it okay to die?
"No, this is just a silence talisman. It would be terrible if it were a real talisman!"
Seeing that they didn't understand, Xu Xiake explained to everyone: "The Su Xi Talisman is just like the Wolf Smoke Pill used in marching and fighting. It only has a frightening effect and has no purpose. If these fancy things are really useful, how can it be possible?" Tie it to the door and let it weather."
He pointed at these purple gold talismans and said: "The talismans on these doors just remind people who see them to stay away from something ominous. Ordinary people don't understand the meaning of the runes. When they see the talismans, they will automatically worry about causing trouble." Just leave, if you still rush in and encounter something dangerous, you are simply seeking death."
"A real purple gold talisman will not be so small. Anything that uses a purple gold talisman is not an ordinary thing. The real talisman is bigger than the whole of us."
"Open it. As long as we don't untie the talisman, it will be fine."
After Xu Xiake finished speaking, Zhang had already asked two people to cut off the chains and pushed open the stone door with a creak.
Everyone tapped their heels and walked into the stone door. In the dusk light, the situation in the temple spread out before their eyes and was clearly visible.
This temple is divided into two floors, with an observation stone corridor built in the middle. There are huge wooden windows on the second floor to block the corridor, and you can see that the horn corridor shines in dappled sunlight.
To the north, a circular stone window is covered with patterned hollows, shining a large amount of light into the interior, making the indoor light flow mottled, adding to the sacred atmosphere.
In such square temples, statues of gods are usually placed on the north side. After entering the large temple, the first thing you see is the towering and majestic faceless stone statue in front!
This stone statue is taller than the stone statue at the door, with its head almost touching the roof of the temple. Its broad body is wider than a granary, but its image is more detailed than the stone statue.
If you look carefully, you will see that this statue is different from the righteous god with wide sleeves and large clothes, and kind-faced eyebrows. It exudes a solemn and majestic atmosphere. It has a broad waist and back, strong muscles, broad shoulders, and a stalwart body. It is dressed in ancient armor that fits the body. He created an image of a brave general, even more majestic than the martial sage Guan Yu.
The armor is decorated with mythical beasts such as dragons, tigers, basalts, unicorns, and redbirds. The carvings are exquisite and the concave and convex are complex. The black iron is twisted into a cloak, which is hung behind him in a wind-moving and flying manner. He holds a bronze halberd-like weapon in his hand, and a huge head. Covered with ghost faces as big as water tanks.
This ghost face fits the facial features, and countless ancient ferocious beasts are carved on the rugged mask. These ferocious beasts have exposed fangs, red eyes, and splayed limbs and claws. Without the confinement of the mask, they would like to come out of the mask to bite and devour living people.
The most peculiar thing is the crown on the mask.
The ancients created crowns to maintain dignity and solemnity, but the crowns of gods did the opposite, which was extremely weird.
On the bronze helmet, two curved horns can be seen rising upward, covered with red paint and carved patterns. There are also two slightly smooth horns, like the wings on an official hat, extending parallel to the back of the head, and wrapped several times with a gold rope as thick as a finger. The pattern is like a golden horn covered with patterns, with holes and rings on both sides, and a bronze medal with a tiger head hung on it.
These tiger head tablets are nearly round in shape, with only the tiger head embossed to create a detailed image. The three copper heads are connected in a vertical row, and the bottom tiger tooth hangs a bronze bell, which looks like a tassel when it shakes.
On the front of the crown is a dragon head and half helmet. This bronze dragon looks strange, with a horse's mouth, a crocodile nose, and eagle eyes and snake teeth. It looks like a dragon's head is enraged and it bites the Tianling Cap with its long teeth.
Viewed from the front, the statue does not look like a real statue at all, but rather like an ancient evil god who was excluded from the orthodox gods. With the rows of faceless bronze statues standing around it gradually getting smaller, it feels cold no matter how you look at it.
Outside the statue, five chains as thick as a bowl stretched out from the front, back, left, and right, directly locking the limbs and head of the statue, and pulling them firmly to the top of the temple. There was a purple gold talisman attached to the heart.
Xu Xiake pointed at the purple gold talisman of the statue and said: "This is the real talisman of suppression. It is about as tall as two water tanks stacked on top of each other. It is not made of cloth and paper that is easy to corrode, but a gold foil plate. It can last for a thousand years." It looks beautiful over the years.”
"Who is this statue? Why have I never seen it before?"
Not only Song Siyuan, but even people like Yue Guanchao and others who travel all over the country have never seen such an evil statue. Even if it is a wild temple in the mountains, at least it must be dressed up with kind facial features and kind eyes to still have people worshiping it. If this statue is so dressed, if it really has that kind of statue. The timid people are so scared that they dare not even enter.
"Could it be the old god of Qinling?"
When Ren Peacock looked at the statue, the first thing he thought of was the ancient gods who guarded the Qinling Mountains.
"Not necessarily? The old god of the Qinling Mountains is the Duke of the East. Such a statue would not be dressed like this, and there is no reason to appear in the temple a few years ago. Didn't Song Qianjin say that this is some kind of high-matchmaker's temple? It is probably theirs Ancestor, or maybe the God of Matchmaking!"
