The temple is large in scale and has an ancient style. The paintings in the temple are rich in color and the patterns are gorgeous. It has a strong mythological charm of prehistoric civilization. The temple is majestic and majestic. Judging from the style of the carvings on the outer walls, it looks like it was used to worship gods before the Western Zhou Dynasty.
of the temple.
Looking at this temple from the outside, the temple gate faces west. The double-open bronze gate is carved with a pattern of a ferocious-looking fox-like beast, which is very similar to the stone carvings in the Fox Village ancestral hall. The gate is more than 10 meters high, and the bottom of the temple is entirely solid.
The thick stone walls and the gilding on the golden roof of the temple have all deteriorated, but one can still imagine the splendor of the time.
"It's amazing. I didn't expect that there would be such a large temple in this deep mountain. It is probably used to worship the thousand-year-old vixen. But building such a large temple requires a lot of manpower and material resources. How can the mountain people here have such a big temple?
What kind of strength?" Fat Wei said with wide eyes.
Chen Zhi was also shocked. Such a magnificent temple was not common outside, let alone deep in the mountains. In ancient times, it was unimaginable to build such a building in a cave. People in the ancient mountains simply did not
With this ability, it is basically impossible for this temple to exist.
"Let's go. This is the purpose of my mission. Don't keep sister Bai Qian waiting. You will see people alive or dead bodies." Fat Wei said, tightening his belt and pulling out his gun.
come out.
Everyone walked all the way to the gate of the ancient temple. When they arrived, Chen Zhicai discovered that it was very difficult to open the bronze gate because it was too large and made of bronze. Fortunately, they were at the bronze gate.
Underneath, I found a small door opening, just big enough for people to pass through.
"Damn! It seems that Sister Bai Qian left it to us specially." Fat Wei said, and was the first to get into the darkness.
Several people ducked down and got in through the small door. After entering, a damp and moldy smell came, and the air pressure became even lower. It was difficult to see in the dark. This ancient temple in the mountain was very quiet and could be clearly seen.
Hearing the gasps of four people, Chen Zhi and the other four, waving their flashlights in the darkness, saw that the place they were in was the hall of this temple. The surrounding decorations were exquisite and exquisite, with carved beams and painted pillars, and they could see the colorful past.
Facing them is a huge jade screen.
This stone screen is carved from a whole piece of white jade, like the white snow of Tianshan Mountain, and is crystal clear. A long mural is carved on it. In the middle of the painting is a woman in various postures, sitting on a huge turtle monster.
Above, the monster bared its teeth and claws, vomited floods, and flooded the villages below. Many people were struggling in the floods. The woman and the monster were very huge in the painting, and the people below were like ants compared to them.
When Chen Zhi saw this mural, he was immediately horrified. The monster in this painting had been seen before, and it was the golden turtle boulder in the underground river.
"Is it possible?" A bold guess emerged in Chen Zhi's mind, "Is it possible that the scarab stone was once alive? It was really the fossil of a giant beast in ancient times after its death. It was here in ancient times
It caused floods and harmed the people. Later, the sea changed and times changed. It was passed down from generation to generation by the people here and became the legend of the Golden Turtle Stone."
Chen Zhi thought of this and swallowed, "If that scarab stone was really a living thing, it would be too huge. Then who is the woman who can sit on the back of such a huge monster? Bai Qian?"
"Let's go." Ghost Sword interrupted Chen Zhi's thoughts. He didn't seem to be interested in the paintings on the stone screen. He said hello and walked around the stone screen and walked inside.
It was so dark inside that I couldn't see my fingers. The hall behind the stone screen seemed to be the center of the entire temple and was very large. Under the beam of the flashlight, countless glazed lamps could be seen embedded in the walls. Fat Wei took a look and said,
The lamp oil inside was actually usable, so Pang Wei opened the fire box and lit a few glass lamps for lighting.
The interior of the entire temple appeared in front of them. The ancient glazed lamps shone dimly, making the entire hall appear eerie and dark. It was a structure made of candied haws on a stick. The roof could be seen from the first floor. There were three floors in total, and the ceiling was very high.
Looking towards the middle of the hall, it turns out that there is a tall statue standing from the first floor to the top floor. This statue is more than 40 meters high and is carved from a whole giant tree. It is very majestic. What is carved is the posture of a goddess descending from the sky.
There are several fox tails behind the goddess and golden tortoises on her feet, which is obviously the image of a sky fox. There are various small statues of gods around the statue. There are fairies with charitable smiles and evil spirits with ferocious faces.
In front of this statue, it seems that you have entered another world. These lifelike statues seem to have life and are about to get off their seats. If ordinary people walk in here, a kind of terrifying and pious power will come out.
Intimidate them and anesthetize their nerves.
"That's Miss Bai Qian, right?" Pang Wei said, shining his flashlight, and seemed to be shocked by the majesty of the statue, "We have all arrived at her house, but we haven't seen her shadow yet!"
"Hush!" Guidao signaled everyone to silence and pointed to the top. Everyone looked up. They didn't notice it outside just now. There was a stone staircase behind the statue leading directly to the second floor. Looking up from the stone staircase, the second floor of the temple was bright.
With dim light.
"There is someone on the second floor, is it a god or a ghost?" This thought immediately entered Chen Zhi's mind. He couldn't help but become nervous and reached for the pistol behind his waist.
Everyone remained motionless in the hall. Looking up, they didn't hear anything.
At this time, Guidao said, "Want to know who it is? Just go up and have a look." After that, Guidao took the lead and walked up the stone staircase next to the second floor.
Chen Zhi signaled to Pang Wei to stand behind him and asked Xiao Gu'er to follow him and also walked towards the second floor.
The second floor of the temple is a suspended hall, right in the middle of Tianhu Temple. In the middle of the hall is a huge ornate altar. There is a huge tablet on the altar, and candles on both sides are burning with fire.
Chen Zhi took a flashlight and carefully looked around the second floor, but saw no one. There were huge wooden cabinets and bookcases everywhere, as well as bamboo slips that were rotten beyond their appearance.
"No one" Chen Zhi shook his head to the others.
"There's no one on the second floor, let's go up to the third floor and have a look!" Xiaogu suddenly interjected, then turned and walked towards the third floor.
"Don't worry," Chen Zhi grabbed him and said, "According to ancient people's habits, if there is a statue of a god in a temple, there must be a tablet in front of it, and the specific name and title of the god must be written on the tablet.
. Let’s go to the altar and see what the name is written on the tablet, and then we will know who the owner of this cave is.”
