As the Ten Thousand Gods Cave gets closer and closer, the doubts in Qin Shaoyou's heart are also solved.
He saw the truth about those stone statues of gods and Buddhas through several talents such as [Bright Eyesight], [Wonderful Nose] and [Listening].
They are not supernatural items!
In the numerous grottoes, some of the stone statues of gods and Buddhas have living figurines hidden inside them.
The so-called living figurines are living people sealed in the stone statues of gods and Buddhas.
It is these living figurines that monitor everyone who approaches and enters the Cave of the Gods.
It is also those who have been made into living figurines who use the stone shells of gods and Buddhas to create a magical and mysterious atmosphere.
To shock people's hearts and confuse the world.
In a sense, these living figurines sealed inside gods and Buddhas can no longer be considered human beings.
Although they are still alive, Qin Shaoyou can no longer hear their heartbeats or feel their breathing.
But Qin Shaoyou can be sure that they are still alive and not walking corpses or zombies.
Therefore, the concealment of these living figurines is also very strong.
Even if a cultivator steps into the Cave of the Ten Thousand Gods, they will only suspect that these stone statues have supernatural powers and possess spirituality.
There is no doubt that a living person has been stuffed inside the stone statue.
That is to say, Qin Shaoyou has talents such as "Bright Eyesight", "Wonderful Nose", and "Listening", etc., and can see, smell, and hear many hidden 'truths' in this world.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to discover that there are living figurines hidden inside the statues.
Unless these statues are smashed open!
This can be confirmed by looking at Zhu Xiucai and others.
Especially Zhu Xiucai.
His strength is not weak. He has been working in the Demon Suppression Division for many years. He has a unique ability in finding traces, which is far beyond the ability of ordinary practitioners.
Even those who are stronger than him are not as good as him in these aspects.
But Zhu Xiucai found nothing at all.
He just felt that the stone statue was strange and mysterious, but he couldn't tell what was strange or how mysterious it was.
Qin Shaoyou was even sure that even if Zhu Xiucai entered the Cave of the Ten Thousand Gods and looked at the stone statues at close range, he might not be able to find anything.
Combining the information he consulted before coming to southern Xinjiang, Qin Shaoyou speculated that most of the people who were made into living figurines were the so-called human Gu!
They were poisoned by the witches and Gu gods here in southern Xinjiang, who personally took action and trained them to be poisonous.
That's why he can survive among the stone statues without breathing or heartbeat.
That’s why we were able to hide from the detection of Zhu Xiucai and others!
Qin Shaoyou also suspected that before these people were turned into human Gu, they should have been brainwashed by witches and even Gu gods, making them willing to become human Gu.
If he was forced, he wouldn't be so proactive and help monitor the surroundings, as if he wanted to make meritorious deeds.
Qin Shaoyou took advantage of the fact that he was still some distance away from the Ten Thousand Gods Cave and quietly told Zhu Xiucai and others about this discovery. Zhu Xiucai and others were dumbfounded when they heard this.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Shaoyou expressed his worries again.
"These human poisons were sealed into stone figurines and pretended to be statues of gods. I am afraid their role is not only to monitor the world and create a magical atmosphere, but also probably have other uses."
"What the Governor said is absolutely true, and I think so too."
Zhu Xiucai echoed.
He neither nodded nor moved his lips, making it difficult for anyone to notice.
"Most of these human Gu statues also serve as guards... Governor, we have to find a way to destroy them before taking action!"
This proposal is the same as Qin Shaoyou's idea.
He immediately said: "When we enter the Cave of the Ten Thousand Gods, I will find a way to find all the statues containing human poison. Before taking action, even if we cannot destroy all these statues, we must find a way to control the human poison inside.
Let them not interfere with our actions!"
The Gu God clone hidden in the Cave of the Ten Thousand Gods is not only powerful, but also very likely to have many weird abilities.
If you want to successfully kill the Gu God's clones, you must deal with all the people and things that may affect them and interfere with them in advance.
Zhu Xiucai immediately caught up with Qin Shaoyou's thinking rhythm and responded without him having to say more: "Understood, after entering the Cave of the Ten Thousand Gods, I will find ways to create opportunities for the Governor."
Qin Shaoyou said "hmm".
Talking to smart people is so worry-free.
As the Ten Thousand Gods Cave gets closer, everyone can see the temples, shrines, statues, etc. inside it more and more clearly.
Seeing that there are Buddhist temples, Taoist temples, temples of primitive shamanism, and temples of Zoroastrianism, Nestorianism, Shamanism, etc., Zhu Xiucai couldn't help but marveled:
"If nothing else, to be able to put so many different types of religions, gods and Buddhas together and enshrine them on the same mountain without letting them fight, the people of Zhenla Kingdom are quite capable."
Qin Shaoyou has a different view.
“It’s not that Chenla State has any ability, I can only say that the different sects here are just fronts.
The people in the Ten Thousand Gods Cave, whether they are monks, wizards, priests, priests, etc., those who truly believe in them are probably Gu Gods.
In other words, he is the mad god in Blood Moon!
This place is just a gimmick of gathering gods and numerous temples to attract believers from all over the world.
Here, they help Mad God Gu steal the faith and incense of the gods, and confuse the believers of the gods to make them superstitious about the Mad God and spread the teachings of Mad God Gu.
I remember that there is a story in the Buddhist scriptures. The devil Bo Xun once told the Buddha that he would let his disciples and descendants mix with the Buddhas, wear cassocks and pretend to be monks, destroy the Buddha's Dharma, misinterpret the Buddhist scriptures, and destroy the Buddhist precepts, in order to achieve the goal.
What cannot be achieved by force...
Here in the Cave of the Gods, it has somewhat of this meaning.
The mad god in the Blood Moon is using methods similar to those used by Demon King Bo Xun in Buddhist stories to hide from the surveillance of the Patriarch and others.
They use the gods as a cover to develop the believers of the gods into their own people in the human world, so that they can steal the incense of the gods and enjoy blood food in the blood moon. They even use this method to destroy the gods.
Incense and faith..."
The more Zhu Xiucai listened, the more frightened he became, but he also felt that his analysis and speculation were not unreasonable.
Perhaps, this is also the reason why the Patriarch guided them here.
Soon, everyone arrived at the foot of the Ten Thousand Gods Cave.
At this point, they shut their mouths and stopped discussing these aspects. They completely fell into the drama and became the silly son of the landlord's family and the ugly but loyal housekeeper.
It was at this time that a man came up to him.
Qin Shaoyou, Zhu Xiucai and the others were all shocked when they saw the person coming.
