38.Chapter 38: The Statue
As soon as the door was closed, Hong Kaiyuan asked me to hold the door, and I immediately went to find the latch, and Wen Jing hurriedly helped me top the door. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Fortunately, the latches were placed behind the door, Hong Kaiyuan threw away his backpack and picked up one at a very fast speed, it seemed that the latch was not light, he was almost unsteady, and it took a lot of effort to drag it to us.
It struck me as strange that the snake didn't hit the door during the whole process, but the thought was fleeting in the face of the situation.
Hong Kaiyuan dragged the latch of the door, looking a little difficult, and it was estimated that even if he could drag it, it would be difficult to bolt it to the door.
I glanced at Wen Jing, and said in my heart, the girl has to resist it! Then he quickly raised the latch with Hong Kaiyuan.
When I lifted it, I realized that the latch was at least 100 catties, the square head was about 20 centimeters, and the length was more than 4 meters.
With great speed, the two men lifted the latch to the position of the bolt, and it took great effort to bolt it. Then, he began to carry the second one, this time faster, and soon got to the door, because of the height, he could only put one end on it first, and then the two of them could get the other end right!
The latch was secured, and the two men looked at each other, gasping for breath, but neither of them spoke.
"Can you let go?" said Wen Jing, who was facing the door, timidly.
"It should be able to withstand it!" Hong Kaiyuan swallowed. But I looked back at the door and its latch.
"Did that thing in the hall fly out just now?" Wen Jing asked again.
"I don't know, I can't see anything, God knows if it's out. Hong Kaiyuan replied again.
And I didn't care about that, I thought about the serpent, because it was so unreasonable. With such a huge body, this temple gate probably can't stand even a few hits, why doesn't it hit it? Could it not want to eat now, so it will raise us in this temple first?
But soon, I thought about the previous question again, and now I should be completely sure, its purpose should be to drive the three of us into this temple!!
But remembering the strange scene just now, I still didn't dare to speak.
"What now?" I looked at the two of them and took a few sharp breaths.
"What else can I do, I hope the things in the hall have gone out just now!" Hong Kaiyuan glanced at me and continued: "Don't toss anything, it's imperative to think of a way to get out of here quickly!"
I glanced around, and there was not even an offering table in the hall except for the huge pillars and candlesticks. Looking at the wall again, the windows are ridiculously high, at least three meters high, and you can't climb up at all. Moreover, even if you climb up, the big snake outside is likely to still be guarding!
"It's not a way to do it like this!?" Wen Jing said with a bitter face.
"Let's hurry up and look around to see if there is anything we can use to drive away that snake!" After all, Hong Kaiyuan was much bolder than the two of us, and he quickly calmed down.
When I heard this, I didn't say much, and began to search around the temple. There was nothing left in the middle of the hall, and I wonder if there was anything that could be used in the corners of the walls near the windows behind the curtains on both sides. Wen Jing followed behind me, and Hong Kaiyuan went to the other side.
The curtain was not much distance from the wall, at most more than a meter, and after turning around, I didn't see anything. Finally, we even checked the back of the temple, and there was no door or window even more outrageous. In addition to the pillars, candlesticks and sculptures in the center of the hall, it is not too much to describe it as empty.
We took a closer look at the top of the temple, the arches and beams were staggered, and the height from the ground was so high that it was almost an impossible task to climb up!
"Lao Qi, have you noticed that this temple is so strange, it seems that such a thing was built to place this sculpture!"
Hong Kaiyuan, who was searching around, suddenly stopped, touching his nose as if he was pondering.
"Yes, if it's here, then why isn't there even a table?" Wen Jing also frowned and glanced at me, meaning that I didn't think of anything.
"Old Qi, do you remember my inference just now?" Hong Kaiyuan's face instantly became a lot more solemn.
"What part do you want to say?" because he said a lot of things, and I couldn't remember them for a while.
"It's about why Dong Shu wants to rebuild the whole village!" Hong Kaiyuan said in a deep voice. "I said he was using the opportunity of reconstruction to make the whole village map of his own!"
As soon as these words came out, I immediately understood. At that time, Hong Kaiyuan said that Dong Shu's purpose was to hide a special map in the layout of the village, but I can't think of anything to do with the reconstruction of the village.
"Have you noticed that after coming down from that platform, the road that was specially swept out is very similar to the street of your village, and the location of the dragon temple at the head of your village is very similar to the location of this temple. Hong Kaiyuan said slowly.
I thought about it carefully, if we start from that platform, which is the entrance to the west end of the village, when we get to the east end of the village, the street will fork in a "Y" shape, and then to the right is the road to my house, and the dragon temple is on the opposite side of my house, on the right side of the road. I remember that when we came from the platform, we also encountered a fork in the road, and Hong Kaiyuan also asked Wen Jing at that time, saying to go left or right, Wen Jing said to go to the right, and then we arrived here.
After thinking about it this way, I realized that the road was really the same as the street in the village, and the locations of the two temples were also very consistent. What's even more weird is that the two temples are filled with sculptures of the god Gonggong!!
"You're right, but what does that mean?" I frowned.
"Back then, Dong Shu used such an outrageous amount of money to help your Qi family rebuild the village, and its purpose was to fit here, so what I said about the treasure map at the beginning is what I finally refer to here!" "Moreover, the two buildings were definitely built at the same time. “
"Is there such a simple treasure map?" I wondered if this map was too simple, and a simple "Y" shape didn't need to be drawn at all, and a three-year-old child could remember it.
"But we don't know what he's hiding, and we don't know where he's hiding?" Wen Jing on the side interjected, "Even if we know, what can we do?"
I didn't answer, so I looked at the Gonggong sculpture in the hall, looked at it, and suddenly felt excited, and immediately said to the two people: "It definitely has something to do with it!"
