Chapter 248, Enter the Ancient Temple
Soon, though, it seemed to think of something, and eventually shook its head.
From my feet to my head, I made a few gestures in a row, and I was silent for a long time before I reacted.
"You mean to say that these people are dead?" I asked tentatively.
The gargoyle nodded.
I thought about it, too, these people don't know how long they've been trapped here, and they're all petrified, which would be strange if they weren't dead.
And I just had my feet petrified and my vital signs were still there, so it was easy to save the spirits.
As for those people, they have been completely turned into stone statues, and they have lost their lives, so they naturally cannot be saved.
Reviving a dying person is a miracle, but if a dead person is brought back to life, it is a change of life.
The little spirit in front of him naturally doesn't have this ability.
I don't have any regrets about this result.
Just now let the spirit save people, it's just a very simple idea, it can be saved, and it's nothing if you can't save it, anyway, it has nothing to do with me.
"Forget it, you hurt me once, help me again, and we're even. ”
I waved my hand: "See you're not a big evil thing, you go, we should have never seen each other." ”
With that, I didn't bother to pay attention to the spirit and began to continue climbing.
At this time, there was no obstacle in front of me, and at the end of the line of sight, that is, on the top of the mountain, there was a huge ancient temple sitting quietly, which was our final destination.
Estimating the distance, if you just walk, you should be able to reach the top of the mountain in about half an hour and touch the outer wall of the ancient temple.
I don't know how big the temple is, but with my eyes, I can't see where the edge of the temple is.
The place I corresponded to was not the main entrance of the ancient temple, but a towering temple wall, conservatively estimated to be ten meters high, almost enclosing the entire top of the mountain.
Because of the cover of the temple wall, it is impossible to see the situation inside the temple at all.
I followed the direction of the ancient temple all the way up, and after a few steps, I looked back and saw that the spirit had not left, but had been standing behind me.
"What are you doing with me?"
I frowned: "Do you still want to eat mixed rice? Let's go! Hurry up! I don't have time to take care of you!"
The spirit was unmoved, just stood quietly.
I didn't bother to pay attention to it either, and went up on my own.
After walking some distance, I looked back again and saw that it was still behind me.
It just stood silently, keeping a certain distance from me.
"What do you mean, what are you doing with me?"
I was a little upset, I didn't expect to teach it a lesson, but this thing relied on me.
Want to touch porcelain?
The spirit didn't respond to my questioning, and in fact, it couldn't speak.
I snorted coldly and immediately picked up speed and ran wildly up the mountain.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I ran, it began to run with me, only one line slower than me.
As soon as I stopped, it stopped and kept a certain distance from me.
After repeating it a few times, I couldn't help but get a little annoyed.
Just as I was about to pull out the chain and teach it a lesson, the spirit immediately stopped, pointed at itself, and then at my feet.
As if to remind me, don't be ungrateful, I just healed your feet, and if you are gracious and will take revenge, it is not as good as a brute.
I'm a little embarrassed to do this.
I didn't reply when I asked it, and I didn't know what I wanted to do.
"Forget it, you can follow if you want, but don't blame me for not reminding you, when the time comes, I can't take care of you, if your body is destroyed, I'm afraid you won't live long!"
After throwing down the next sentence, I didn't bother to dwell on it, and began to walk up the mountain on my own.
In fact, on second thought, it would be beneficial to let this spirit follow.
With its ability, it can not only recover from injuries, but also relieve fatigue with the light emitted by the body, and stimulate the potential of the body in all directions, which can be said to be very beneficial.
When I thought about it like this, the depression in my heart disappeared in an instant.
As long as this guy doesn't have bad thoughts and doesn't hurt anyone, he will let it go.
After half an hour, we finally climbed to the top of this mountain and stood outside the walls of the ancient temple.
The walls of the ancient temple are much taller than I imagined, not so much a wall as a city wall.
And this ancient temple is like an ancient city sitting on the top of a mountain.
"That's huge!"
I looked up at the city wall in front of me and couldn't help but sigh.
The stone spirit also stood next to me, spreading his hands and looking up at the tall walls of the ancient temple.
It's a pity that it has no facial features and can't see facial expressions, otherwise it would have been wonderful.
I took a closer look at the wall, and found that there were some strange symbols carved on the outside of the wall, some of which looked like tadpoles, and I couldn't understand them at all.
In addition to these strange symbols, I also found that the temple walls were very strong, much stronger than I had imagined.
It's all made of an unknown rock, which is not only large, but also very thick.
The size of that rock can catch up with a car.
I had no intention of studying the temple walls, and after looking left and right a few times, I planned to climb into it.
The temple walls are indeed tall and majestic, but they are pitted and uneven, and it is not difficult to climb.
However, what I didn't expect was that as soon as I started, I was dragged by the gargoyle.
It didn't make any extra moves, just kept shaking its head and telling me it wasn't okay.
"Do you think it's dangerous for me to go in like this?" I asked tentatively.
The spirit nodded, then pointed to the right, and began to stride forward, leading the way ahead.
I hesitated, but eventually followed.
The spirit didn't seem to be malicious, but I didn't know what medicine it was selling in its gourd.
The key is that it can't speak, and it is very troublesome to communicate, and most of them have to rely on their own guesswork.
However, since it is in danger and takes the lead, I naturally have no reason to refuse, and if it explores the way, I will be relatively safer.
If something really goes wrong, you can have time to run for your life.
Of course, this is best not to happen.
The spirit has been in this mountain for a long time, and everything that should be familiar with this place is already familiar, and the rest are forbidden places that it does not dare to approach.
The walls of the ancient temple are obviously not forbidden places that it dare not approach, otherwise it would not have followed.
Led by the spirits, I walked around the wall for a long time, and when I couldn't hold back the restlessness in my heart, the stone spirits in front of me suddenly stopped.
I stopped in an instant and took a look.
That's when I realized that before I knew it, we had reached the main entrance.
The main entrance of the ancient temple is very magnificent, the temple gate is slightly higher than the temple wall, and there are two red lanterns the size of water tanks hanging on the left and right sides.
It's just that the two red lanterns look like they've been around for some time, and they're covered in dust and cobwebs.
Under the lantern is an old plaque.
The words on the plaque were already very blurry, and I could barely see the word 'east'.
Down the plaque is the door page.
The two door pages are not only huge, but also very thick, and there are two statues of gods carved on the surface, one on the left and one on the right.
The appearance is not angry and self-assured, just looking at it makes me respectful.
Although these two door gods are a little different from what I have seen before, the majesty and pressure that they invisibly exude are enough to scare away all kinds of demons and monsters.
The door god is a righteous god, and it is known to the public, and the existence of incense by the public is not comparable to a small yin god.
Even if it's just a sticker, it's enough to deter the general ghost.
In this eerie place, I was a little surprised that there was still an image of a door god.
The reason why the gargoyle stopped was largely because it was frightened by the door god.
The door god is in the name of driving away evil spirits and avoiding evil, whether it is a demon or a mountain spirit, just hearing the name has to be avoided.
It's not unusual for this spirit to have this move, this is still based on the premise that it was a yin god before, although it was dismissed, but it doesn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, after all, there is still a trace of connection.
Otherwise, if you change to other spirits, you will be scared away as soon as you see the image of the door god.
Although this stone spirit is afraid to approach because of the fear of the door god, it does not mean that I will be affected.
It's just a picture, it's nothing.
I don't know if it's the angle, or if it's the portrayal itself, but the eyes of the two door gods seem to have been staring at us ever since we got closer.
I didn't care too much, I encountered so many strange things, how could I be frightened by two paintings?
Down from the door, there is a stone staircase tens of meters long, and there are two stone lions on both sides of the stone steps.
The two stone lions are carved to life, tall and mighty, and their eyes glow as if they come to life when reflected by the light.
Just looking at it gives people a strong sense of oppression.
The stone lion in front of the door also has the effect of warding off evil spirits.
From beginning to end, I looked up and down the main entrance of the ancient temple a few times, although I felt a little strange in my heart, but I really didn't find anything abnormal.
I walked past the stone spirit and slowly approached the gate, walking up the stone steps, past the stone lions, and stopping in front of the main entrance.
The temple door is closed, it looks like it hasn't been opened for a long time, the lock on it has rusted, and it almost breaks when touched, and the dust on the door can put a layer of powder on several Internet celebrities.
"From here?"
I looked sideways at the gargoyle, and it was always right to ask.
The gargoyle didn't speak, just nodded.
I hummed, plucked up my courage, took a deep breath, put my hands on the door, and jerked to the sides.
"Click!"
The rusty lock broke and fell in response, and the two heavy wooden doors also creaked and opened a crack.
As soon as the crack in the door opened, a cold wind blew in my face, and I was so cold that I felt very cold.
I increased my strength and pushed the crack in the door even wider, enough for one person to pass before stopping.
No way, these two gates are so huge, like the ancient city gates, it is very difficult to push.
Through the crack in the door, the first thing I did was to lift the white lantern and observe the situation inside the temple through the light.
It was very dark inside, there was no movement, and even if there were lanterns, I could only vaguely see the outlines of some buildings.
Crossing the threshold nearly half a meter high, I turned my head to look and found that the stone spirit was still standing in place, afraid to approach, and reluctant to leave.
"You want to come in?" I asked.
The gargoyle nodded.
"But you can't get in. I laughed: "It's so angry!"
