Chapter 282: Human Beast Head

After making up his mind, Wu Zhongyuan told everyone his thoughts, but in fact, everyone was also very curious about the ancient temple in Kunlun Mountain, and they all wanted to go to find out.

But it's one thing to want to go, it's another thing to find it, Kunlun Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, the ancient trees in the mountains are towering to the sky, the old blind man is the only one who knows the location of the temple, but he is already blind, he can't find the reference by himself, and can only tell him about the various scenes below for him to recall and reference.

At first, it was Wu Zhongyuan who did the explanation work, and then the second brother took over him diligently, everyone set off in the early morning, Dasha flew for more than an hour, the second said that his mouth was dry, and the old blind man did not find a usable reference.

Wu Zhongyuan is not in a hurry, the old blind man is just not sure where everyone is at the moment, once he finds the reference in his memory, even if there is only one place, he can guide everyone to find the abandoned temple,

Mount Kunlun is also an inaccessible place in modern times, because it is inaccessible, so it has not been damaged by man, at least not seriously damaged by man, which makes Kunlun Mountain different from those mountains that have been artificially destroyed outside, so that people in the world feel that Kunlun Mountain is very different from other peaks and mountains.

But now most of the area is primeval forest, so the difference between Kunlun Mountain and those peaks outside is not very big, and all kinds of wild animals and birds living here can also be seen from outside.

At three o'clock in the morning, that is, at ten o'clock in the morning, Wu Zhongyuan found a strange cave, these caves are located on the sunny side of a mountain peak, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain are distributed, there are a lot of them, dense, the size is not the same, the number of caves in the lower part is more, but the area is smaller. The closer you get to the top, the fewer caves there are and the larger the area.

Not only did Wu Zhongyuan see these caves, but the second child also saw them, and said that he knew with the old blind man, and the old blind man nodded slowly, "I used to be here back then, and if I continue to the north, I can reach that temple in four hours." ”

"Sir, what's going on with these caves?" Wu Zhongyuan asked the old blind man for advice.

"I went down to visit," said the old blind man, "and there are numerous paw prints on the walls of every cave, which are supposed to be the result of the digging of wild beasts. Years ago, when a herd of animals lived here. ”

"Are there any living utensils left in the cave?" Wu Zhongyuan asked, the caves are so dense, indicating that the beasts digging these caves live in groups, and in addition, the higher you go up the cave, the bigger the cave becomes, which also shows that these beasts have a distinct rank. Whether there are living utensils or not, you can judge the degree of civilization of the beasts that lived here and whether they had a high IQ.

The old blind man shook his head, "There are no living utensils in the caves I visited. ”

"Do you know what kind of beast it is?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

The old blind man shook his head again, "I can't be sure what kind of beast those paw prints belong to, but the higher you go, the bigger the paw prints on the stone walls of the cave, so it can be seen that these caves were dug by the beasts who live in them themselves, and they are not fake hands." ”

Since Wu Zhongyuan did not have the divine authority to slow down, Dasha quickly flew over this mountain full of caves.

"Sir, is there anything similar to this place in the Kunlun Mountains?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

The old blind man nodded, "There are still some ruins of the city, but they have been abandoned for a long time, and after thousands of years of wind and rain, only a few bluestone ruins remain. ”

Hearing the words of the old blind man, Wu Zhongyuan frowned, Kunlun Mountain is different from other places, there are no human beings living in the mountains, even if it is a mixed-race human being, the remaining city ruins here can only be built by sane beasts, if the beasts with the ability to build cities are not in the war, it is not easy to extinction, Fuxi Nuwa's Qingzheng Six Dao Flood War occurred thousands of years ago, and the war of that year is likely to be the reason for the desertion of these cities.

In this way, to some extent, it also verified his previous guess that Kunlun Mountain is the territory of the Beast King, and the abandoned temple in the mountain is likely to be the place where the Beast King is worshipped.

At noon, Wu Zhongyuan ordered Dasha to land from a flat area, there was no shelter around here, it was relatively empty, so as not to be attacked by plots and sneak attacks, and there was a small stream meandering through, which could draw water to cool down.

After a short rest, everyone was on the road again, after the old blind man had estimated the approximate time it would take to get to the ruined temple, and it was dark late in the summer, and if you were a little tight, you should be able to rush over before the sun went down.

In fact, except for the old blind man, Wu Zhongyuan and others have night vision, and there is actually no difference between the day and the night, but the night feels dark and gloomy, and the place is originally very evil, so try not to go over at night.

It is difficult to balance the process and the result, and if you care too much about the process, you will lose the result. If you care too much about the outcome, you will lose the process. Wu Zhongyuan was anxious to arrive at the destination earlier, so he instructed Dasha to travel as fast as possible, so that his observation of things in the mountains was not very detailed, and he hurried by.

At about five o'clock in the evening, under the guidance of the old blind man, the people found the temple surrounded by mountains.

The old blind man did not talk about the specific situation of this temple in detail before, the real thing is very different from Wu Zhongyuan's imagination, first of all, the direction, this abandoned temple is built on the mountain, but it is different from other temples, it does not rely on the north peak, but the west mountain, and the gate faces east.

Then there is the size, in Wu Zhongyuan's imagination, this temple is not big, at least not very big, but in fact this temple is very large, even if it does not cover an area of 10,000, it is more than 8,000 square meters.

There is also a large flat area around the temple, and the so-called flat is only relatively flat, and it is already summer, and the grass and trees have grown taller, and among the vigorous grass and trees, there seem to be some high stone piles that resemble the city walls.

Judging from the surrounding topography, there should have been a large city here, but at this time this city no longer exists, and even the ruins are almost impossible to find, leaving only the lonely temple at the foot of the west mountain.

The reason why the temple has survived thousands of years of wind and rain is that the stones used to build the temple are so huge that each stone should weigh more than five tons according to its size and density.

The shape of the temple is somewhat similar to the palace of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, in front of the main building there is a stone step of the same length as the palace and about two zhang wide, the stone steps are relatively intact, and there are no tall trees growing on it, only a small amount of grass grows in the gap between the stones.

Around the temple grew a hemp plant more than five feet tall, very similar to the jute planted by various tribes to weave linen, presumably the god of war grass that the old blind man said.

What the old blind man said was true, there were a large number of white bones piled up around the temple, and the God of War grass grew on top of the white bones. Because it is far away and covered by grass and trees, it is not real, but after a rough look, it does not seem to be a human corpse.

The crowd came from the south, and at this time it was located on the top of the hill to the south of the temple, and because it was facing the temple, there was no place to see the soul stone inlaid on the lintel that the old blind man said.

"Wait for me from here, and I'll go down and see. Wu Zhongyuan said to Jiang Nan and others.

"Don't get to the bottom of it, don't act rashly. The old blind man said.

Wu Zhongyuan stretched out his hand and pointed north, "Those white bones are concentrated within a hundred steps of the temple, there is a clear demarcation, I don't go close, I only look at the white bones from a distance." ”

"I'll go with you. Jiang Nan said.

"Big brother, I'll go with you too. The second child took the opportunity to show loyalty.

Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head to look at the second child, "You stay to protect Mr." ”

After that, I suddenly found that I grabbed a few Ganoderma lucidum grasses in the old second-hand hand, so I took one casually, which seemed to be a little familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it.

"Where did you come from?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

The second child stretched out his hand and pointed to the east, "Oh, there's a big piece there." ”

Wu Zhongyuan casually returned the Ganoderma lucidum grass to the second child, and after exchanging glances with Jiang Nan, he cast a birth method and swept north.

There is always room for everything, although the boundary of white bones is very obvious, Wu Zhongyuan did not follow the boundary formed by the accumulation of white bones, but went back a few zhang to ensure that he did not cross the thunder pool.

After landing, the first thing to see is the two soul stones inlaid on the lintel of the temple, as the old blind man said, the two soul stones are about the size of eggs, one black and one white, the two doors of the temple are carved with a huge beast head, and the position of the soul stone inlay is just the eye part of the beast head.

The head carved on the door does not belong to some known beast, but rather a hideous image similar to that of gluttony.

The door of the temple is only open on the left side, and the opening amplitude is not very large, from the place where the two of them stand, they can see that there is indeed a purple statue in the west of the temple, about zhang high, nearly five feet wide, the head of the statue is gone, but the body is still there, look closely, the body of the statue is draped, to be precise, it is carved with strange armor, similar to the armor of the bird warriors, but the protective parts are not very tight.

Despite wearing armor and losing its head, it is still possible to determine the gender of the statue based on its body, as the two breastplates on the statue are raised, indicating that the amethyst statue is a woman.

Just when Wu Zhongyuan was looking at the statue intently, Jiang Nan walked a few feet south, "There is more than one statue in the hall, there are also on both sides. ”

Hearing Jiang Nan say this, Wu Zhongyuan walked to the place where Jiang Nan was standing, tilted his head and looked at the north side of the temple, as Jiang Nan said, there are also statues there, the statues are white, because the distance is too far, the light is dim, and the specific images of those statues cannot be seen clearly.

Due to the limited angle of view, he could not see the situation on the south side, and could only see a total of six statues standing on the north side.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan had been squinting, Jiang Nan knew that he couldn't see the situation inside, so he pulled out an arrow, took out a bamboo tube from his waist, applied the yellow liquid inside to the arrow, and then took a flint to hit it and ignite it, and then shot out with a bow.

The rocket flew into the temple and landed near the statues, and by the light of the fire, Wu Zhongyuan saw the true face of the six statues, all of which were human and animal heads, carved with different styles of armor, from west to east, respectively, elephant heads, rhino heads, tiger heads, leopard heads, wolf heads, and dog heads.

These six statues are carved with men's armor, holding various weapons, majestic and brave.

When he moved his gaze to the last statue, Wu Zhongyuan frowned suddenly, the dog head on the statue was not an ordinary dog head, but the giant hyena that attacked the two not long ago.

At this moment, Jiang Nan suddenly raised his hand and pointed forward, "There are living creatures inside!"

Wu Zhongyuan was originally turning his head to look at Jiang Nan, and when he heard this, he hurriedly moved his gaze back to the temple, when the rocket fired earlier happened to go out, and the hall returned to darkness.

"What is it?" Wu Zhongyuan squinted into the distance, and he could only vaguely see a small black shadow.

"Looks like a little fox......"
