"After the Ghost Mother Sect was lost, this dojo also declined!" Xie Rusi said, stroking the thousand-year-old stone pillars with her hands, "But perhaps it was the blessing of the Buddha that this temple has been preserved after thousands of years."
"As for this pyramid dojo, we actually can't call it a pyramid!" Xie Rusi walked among the people again and blinked twice with her electric eyes. Wu Dazhi was okay, Zhou Zijing had already been all over the floor.
"The reason why pyramids, or sacrificial temples similar to pyramids, are built so high is because they are closer to the sky..."
Before Xie Rusi finished speaking, Wu Dazhi had already understood what she meant. The Ghost Mother was a ghost and came from the underground. If she wanted to get closer to the Ghost Mother, she had to build the sacrificial temple deep enough.
Seeing Wu Dazhi's serious face, Xie Rusi smiled slightly, with a different kind of profound meaning flashing in her eyes.
"Brother Dazhi seems to have figured it out! Then I won't talk nonsense!" Xie Rusi looked around the three people and still said softly:
"There are only four of us here. You can say that we are not enemies, but we are not friends either!"
Wu Dazhi and Zhou Zijing were startled. They were neither enemies nor friends. What were they? The two were less than twenty years old, and their thinking was still simple. In their world, there were only black and white, and there would never be any gray areas.
"Just a partner?" Hu Xue, who had been silent until now, suddenly said, "The person Chang Qi chose is really refreshing!"
"Isn't Uncle Hu also cheerful?!" Xie Rusi smiled sweetly, "I will not hinder what you want to do. Maybe I will help you when you need it! But when I am doing things, please don't interfere.
!”
When she said this, a cold air suddenly flashed across Xie Rusi's face, completely devoid of the pure and charming feeling that had captivated all sentient beings before.
"That's not okay! If you do anything harmful to others, I will definitely stop you!!" Although Zhou Zijing is lustful, he is also a very righteous person. He seemed to smell the dangerous meaning in Xie Rusi's words, and immediately opened his mouth.
explain.
Xie Rusi's body seemed to feel a little more air-conditioned. She smiled coldly, turned around and said, "If you have that ability, just give it a try!"
Zhou Zijing was silent. He knew that he was no match for Xie Rusi, but being looked down upon by a woman like this was not something he wanted to do. He was thinking about what to say, but Wu Dazhi grabbed him by the corner of his clothes.
"Hold it! We'll see what happens later!" Wu Dazhi said in a low voice.
"Follow me! Fatty, if you get lost later, I won't look for you! I'm afraid of trouble!"
Xie Rusi regained her charming look again and said with a wink to Zhou Zijing.
Wu Dazhi suddenly felt goosebumps on his body. What kind of existence is this woman? She can switch freely between normal humans and abnormal humans. Sure enough, the people the Five Immortals like are extraordinary beings.
"Let's go!" Hu Xue also said softly.
"The seven pillars here actually represent the seven underground floors of this dojo!" At this point, Xie Rusi suddenly turned around and said excitedly, "How about it, it's amazing! In a thousand years, the people here actually turned around.
Can dig up to seven levels underground!!”
Wu Dazhi and Zhou Zijing glanced at the excited Xie Rusi and nodded subconsciously. After praising the greatness of the ancients in unison, Xie Rusi turned around and continued.
"Before the sacrifice is held every year, the master of the hall will change, and the masters will choose the level of the priest based on the changes in the pillars!"
While they were talking, the four people had arrived at the entrance to the hall and the first underground floor.
Xie Rusi stopped. She closed her eyes and held her breath, as if she was resting her mind. After about five minutes, she finally opened her eyes.
He said with some disappointment: "What a coincidence, this year's sacrifice will not be held on the first floor. It seems we have to go to the second floor!"
"Then let's go!" Zhou Zijing said without even thinking.
Wu Dazhi poked Zhou Zijing, and Zhou Zijing suddenly realized that if things were so easy, Xie Rusi would not cooperate with them, let alone be disappointed.
"Miss Xie Rusi, are there any problems getting through the first floor?" Wu Dazhi said carefully as he accompanied.
"Don't call me miss, I have a shadow!" Xie Rusi scolded in a low voice:
"This is the forbidden area of the Ghost Mother Sect. No one can come in every year until the time of the sacrifice. But we are lucky. These days, we just catch up with the day of the sacrifice!"
Wu Dazhi breathed a sigh of relief. This should be no problem, right?
"But in order to prevent outsiders from coming in, there are a lot of agencies set up not only at the sacrificial level, but it's very dangerous!"
Xie Rusi glanced at the entrance and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Hu and I should have no problem breaking through here. As for you two, just take care of yourselves and don't interfere with other things!!"
Wu Dazhi remembered that this was the second time he had been discriminated against after meeting Xie Rusi, but they had reasons to discriminate against him. For him, saving his life was a big problem, let alone reaching out to help them eliminate their enemies.
"Yes!" Wu Dazhi nodded. He knew that this was not the time to show off his strength and act as a bully.
Zhou Zijing was a little unconvinced, but since entering this sacrificial temple, he suddenly discovered that Wu Dazhi turned out to be the embodiment of wisdom. Now that he had no objection, he acquiesced.
"Before you go in, let me tell you again, no matter what happens, don't run around!!" Xie Rusi seemed to be very worried about Zhou Zijing, and emphasized again.
Zhou Zijing nodded desperately, fearing that Xie Rusi could not see, so he nodded a little wider.
"Tell me what you know!" After all, Hu Xue was someone who had come before, and was more thoughtful than Wu Dazhi. He didn't pay attention to Zhou Zijing's cuteness at all, but said to Xie Rusi calmly.
"I believe you already know everything about this place!" Hu Xue looked at Xie Rusi intently. If an ordinary person was stared at by Hu Xue's dark green eyes, they would definitely have a heart attack.
But Xie Rusi just smiled and said happily: "Haha, I can't hide anything from Uncle Hu, so I will simply share the information with you!"
The seven underground floors are actually simple buildings like the halls on the ground. There are no complex structures like today's temples. Wu Dazhi can think of this without Xie Rusi's explanation. After all, this sacrificial site was built more than a thousand years ago.
Yes, even if the ancients were clever and wise, they could not withstand the cruelty of reality.
Regarding the hidden weapons that Xie Rusi mentioned before, Wu Dazhi only thought that they were similar to the measures used to rob the imperial tombs in ancient times. But Xie Rusi's next words completely declared that Wu Dazhi's idea was wrong, and it was quite wrong.
It turns out that this sacrificial temple not only has the function of offering sacrifices, but also has a very important function, which is to serve as a place for believers to transcend their sins.
Anyone who has had religious experience or has a grasp of the basic principles of religion knows that each religion has its own confession system. The so-called confession is to tell one's sins and pray for God's forgiveness. Just like Catholicism.
The warning system is the most obvious manifestation.
Many people think that confession is a product of modern religion, but since the ancient totem civilization, the confession system has existed, and priests will use more direct methods to eliminate their sins!
