She heard Ban Nu mention these ghost people in front of the mycelium flower tree. Their remaining breath would not disappear in a short time. If Ban Nu could not feel the breath of these people, it meant that something was wrong.
Ban Nu nodded and his tone became mysterious: "Well, judging from Axi's situation, the residual aura of the Guifang people can remain for decades, and it will not completely disappear until it continues to decay after decades. In this case, only two possibility."
She then cleared her throat and continued to explain the two most likely scenarios: "First, the ghost people have been dead for more than a hundred years and disappeared before we came. Their remaining breath has completely disappeared due to natural attenuation. To the point where I couldn’t feel anything at all.”
"Second, there is a more powerful consciousness that directly erases all the aura and consciousness of the Oni Fang people. We can't feel it because the auras of these Oni Fang people were completely erased the moment they disappeared. "
Yue and Song listened carefully to Ban Nu's guess and analyzed the current guess.
Let’s talk about the first scenario first. It’s basically impossible for the ghost people to disappear for more than a hundred years.
According to Tan Yanqiu's introduction, Axi appeared about forty years ago, when she was already in her twenties and thirties. This means that the Guifang people must have still existed sixty years ago, even if the Guifang people They disappeared at the same time as Ah Xi, and their disappearance time would never exceed fifty years.
Based on this calculation, these places have only been abandoned for forty or fifty years at most, which is completely inconsistent with a hundred years. If Axi's aura still exists, it makes no sense that there are no traces in the places where the ghosts live. They don't It may have disappeared for a hundred years, and there is a high probability that something unexpected happened.
Let's talk about the second situation, the ghost man encountered a more powerful consciousness.
This is entirely possible. When they arrived, they had already discovered the giant's body. At the same time, they also discovered that the genes of all species were being changed, and even going in the direction of degeneration. If the ghosts also It began to degrade, which meant that they had lost control of the ghost world.
With this major premise in mind, when they pondered the second possibility, they already felt chills running down their backs. Perhaps the more powerful consciousness Ban Nu was referring to was the mysterious "person" who made the Guifang people lose their initiative. .
Song Siyuan looked at everyone and considered: "Combining the two situations, is it possible that a consciousness more powerful than the Guifang people made all the Guifang people disappear, and then all their auras were also wiped out? This event also marks Then, the people of Onifa lost their control over the world of Onifa."
"possible."
Yue Qingshan frowned with the word "Chuan" on his brows and said: "We looked along the way and the ghost people disappeared too hastily and did not leave any breath at the same time. This has proved that they disappeared very strangely. What was found on the road We all know the situation, so I won’t say any more. Based on the current situation, is that powerful consciousness the giant, or something left behind by the giant?”
Yue Guanchao nodded and said: "Well, we also have this idea. Since we can't find anything in these villages, we might as well go to the stone walls and take a look. There may be clues in those buildings."
Everyone's search was fruitless, so they could only leave the village and go to the stone wall closest to them.
Yue Guanchao glanced at the direction they came out, which happened to be in the south of the basin. After leaving the village, he started to rush to the stone wall closest to them.
They walked through the forest and bushes for probably several miles, and their legs and feet were cramped from walking, and then they arrived near the stone wall.
Yue Guanchao stood under the stone wall and looked up at the cantilevered buildings. These buildings have the beauty of ancient pavilions. Most of the palaces are built with columns, pedestals and beams. Gray tiles are gathered at the top. The masonry and rammed earth barriers are tight. Even the corridors are made of huge The rough wood has red pillars and carved windows, and the railings and terraces are decorated with colorful carvings. It is like a suspended palace sunk in the bushes, and it looks extremely finely crafted.
However, even though it is extremely beautiful, there is always a sense of suspension of a dangerous building hundreds of feet high, as if it could collapse and fall from the cliff at any time. They were standing under such a close cliff, their heads were numb and trembling, and they wanted to escape at any time. Overall, they felt a sense of oppression that did not belong to a delicate pavilion.
"Can this thing withstand people walking around?" Yue Guanchao put down the telescope and squinted his eyes with emotion.
Song Siyuan seemed to understand this very well and said: "It's okay to leave. This is an ancient mechanical application called half-insertion of the beam."
"Do you know the Hanging Temple in Datong, Shanxi? This temple is of the same type as the hanging wall building in front of you..."
The Hanging Temple mentioned by Song Siyuan was also called "Xuankong Pavilion" in the past. It is a mixed religious building complex that is both Buddhist and Taoist. The word "Xuan" in Xuankong comes from the mysterious meaning of Taoism. As for the word "empty", it comes from the Buddhist teachings that the four major elements are empty and the empty space is pure. Later, the people nearby changed Xuankong Pavilion to Xuankong Temple to coincide with the uniqueness of this temple. .
It can be said that the most amazing thing about this temple is the word "hang".
Although other temples are also built in the mountains, most of them are on the flat land on the top of the mountain or on the gentle slopes of the mountainside. Only this temple is extremely special. It is built on a cliff dozens of meters above the ground. It is the first cliff on the ancient and modern times. temple.
The entire Hanging Temple has a layout of "one courtyard and two floors", with a length of about 30 meters from front to back. There are a total of 40 pavilions in the whole temple. The highest point is the Xieshan Mountain Pavilion at the north and south ends. The two pavilions face each other from the north to the south. Like eagle wings flying in the sky, it is majestic and towering. When you climb the tower and look down, you feel like you are facing an abyss.
Since it is said to be a mixed religious building complex that is both Buddhist and Taoist, it is definitely not the same style. In the overall layout, there are Buddhist temples, Buddhist halls, and Buddhist halls, as well as Taoist Guandi Taiyi and Chunyang religions.
These buildings are surrounded by corridors, connected by palaces, plank roads, flying pavilions, and staggered staircases. They are covered by rock formations above and below, which can block the wind in winter and provide shade in summer. They seem to be suspended on the cliff. After being exposed to wind and rain for nearly a thousand years, they are still Solid as always.
Later, people discovered that the secret of this building's ability to survive thousands of years of wind and rain lies in the supporting columns of the temple!
As early as the beginning of the construction of these buildings, the craftsmen had already selected the cliffs. These cliffs were just recessed into the mountain, forming several stone platforms on the cliffs. Then, the craftsmen used the mechanical foundation of half-inserted beams to build structures on the rock formations. Knock out a square groove, then completely fix dozens of wedge-shaped pillars into the groove, and then fill it with stone strips. In this way, it is equivalent to establishing a wide and solid plane on the stone platform.
After that, all the buildings in the Hanging Temple can rely on this plane and sit securely on these stone platforms. In order to use the space of these stone platforms as much as possible, when building the temple, the craftsmen continued to dig deep into the mountain walls inside the cliff, towards the More mountain space was dug out to accommodate the temple.
In this way, when viewed from the outside, the Hanging Temple is indeed very hanging, as if it could collapse from the cliff at any time. However, as long as you walk inside, you will find that the interior has been hollowed out to form various buildings.
The exposed part, with the support of the beams, is securely located on the cliff. The halls are closely connected with corridors, railings, planks, flying pavilions and beams to form a very stable wooden frame structure, which seems to be about to collapse. , actually as stable as Mount Tai.
Song Siyuan picked up the telescope: "I guess that the cantilevered building we saw is the same as the Hanging Temple in Shanxi. The part we see only occupies one-third, and the other two-thirds are all embedded. Once inside the mountain, such a stable structure is naturally different from soft soil. Even if it experiences an earthquake, it may not be shaken to a certain extent, but it is much more stable than building on the ground."
"The hanging temple has been able to stand for thousands of years, which shows the exquisite structure of the half-inserted beams."
She paused and her eyes seemed to be pointing: "The most important thing is that the Hanging Temple in Shanxi was built by craftsmen of the Northern Wei Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. If these buildings are really the same type of structure as the Hanging Temple."
"That proves that these buildings were probably brought by Beifu soldiers during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and there may be clues to Beifu's tombs in them."
