Chapter Seventy-Six: The Eye of the Gods
We have seen the ever-bright lamp in the tomb of Princess Chu before, it is made of mermaid paste and will not be extinguished for thousands of years, but the ever-bright candle we see now was extinguished at first, and it was not until the little Taoist priest lit it with a lighter that the light was restored. This makes me wonder www.biquge.info and I don't dare to be sure if I am wrong in judging whether I am wrong, but from the smell of these candles, it is indeed an ever-bright candle, and it has a certain lighting effect, so I think it is mixed with some materials that can be illuminated.
Bajian saw that the candles were lit up together, and felt strange, and was about to study curiously, I remembered the evil that had once entered the ever-bright lamp, and hurriedly covered his eyes, and said: "This fire is the fire of the underworld, don't look at it too much, it will be evil!"
Ba Jian gently pushed my hand away, and said strangely: "The fire in the underworld, but isn't this a temple, isn't it blasphemy to put the fire in the underworld?"
After being reminded by Bajianyi, several of us couldn't help but raise our heads and look at the idol in front of us. It's okay not to look at it, but I was startled when I saw it, in the faint firelight, all around was pitch black, the statue of the god was in the light, and the shadow deepened the facial features, adding a bit of grotesque and gloomy feeling to it.
I thought that the small temple would at least offer an amiable deity, but this deity has an indescribable strange face, this face is especially white, I don't know if it is the white face that the craftsman specially wiped when making the statue of the god, or it is so white in the minds of the Loulan people, anyway, it looks particularly uncomfortable, and the most uncomfortable is its facial features. Just look at its eyebrows are slender and flat, its eyes seem to be open, no matter which angle we go, we can feel that it is silently staring at itself, this kind of staring is not enthusiastic, it is very cold, people have a feeling of hairiness from the bottom of the heart.
The little Taoist priest and I belong to people who like to see details, and we were about to approach, when Bajian muttered and said, "It's weird, how do I feel that the eyes of this god just rolled a little." ”
When I heard what Ba Jian said, I shuddered, stopped my steps, and turned around and said, "It's really fake, this idol is not alive, are you too tired and confused." ”
Bajian rubbed his eyes, and then walked in front of us, in order to confirm something, he stretched out his hand and said: "I can't be sure, but it seems to have really turned a little just now, you see, the goosebumps on my body are erected, that means I did see something just now, otherwise my body would not have such a reaction." ”
When the little Taoist priest and I heard this, we looked at each other, looking at the goosebumps that were distinct from Bajian, and I thought to myself: "Damn, I just escaped from the demon tower array, I won't hide in such a small temple, what kind of moths are you going to provoke?" Thinking about it, I involuntarily looked up at the eyes of the idol, and stared at it for a while, the eyes of the idols didn't move, I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it must be Bajian who was wrong, but at this time, the little Taoist priest frowned and said: "The eyeballs of this idol seem to be a little different from the position I just saw." ”
When Bajian heard this, he leaned over unconsciously and said, "Hey!"
I was taken aback by him, and pushed his head angrily, he touched his head, retracted his stretched neck, and said, "What, I was not wrong just now, I just saw it move its eyes, ouch, why is this so terrifying?" He wrapped his arms around his two arms, and his two big eyes looked at the stone statue cautiously.
I and the Kushi followed the words of the little Taoist priest and Bajian, and took a closer look, the Kushi's eyes were better than mine, and he said: "I look at the slightly open eyes of this statue, and the two eyeballs are in the middle position, but now it seems that one eye is off the ......" He frowned, stroked his beard, and said in a deep voice: "This position...... It seems to be in our position, and he won't be watching us, right?"
The kushi said, I looked at the stone statue's eyes, the hairs on my body all stood up, this feeling was too bad, as if it was really looking at us compassionately at this moment, I stroked the fear in my heart, and pretended to smile: "Don't say it so scary, the idol is not a living thing, it is just made of stone, where can you really look at us like a person, and there is no one hiding in it......"
Having said that, I really don't have confidence in my heart, there are four of us now, and three of us feel that something is wrong, and I have to comfort myself, so it doesn't work at all.
The little Taoist priest didn't open the pot, he poured me a basin of cold water, and said: "I see that there is an ever-bright candle here, and this god may be the god of the underworld of the Loulan people." ”
"The god of the underworld?" shouted the Eight Spirits.
I listened to the three of them coming in, and there was not a word of positive energy, and I couldn't help complaining in my heart: "Seal the stream, seal the stream, why did you win this group of black belly squads." No, at this time, the Kushi added: "By the way, the last time I came here was during the day, and I remember that in the temple, there is a row of small gods, which are the human-faced ghosts we saw earlier!"
"The human-faced hairy ghosts are actually in the temple? do these Loulan people really use them as divine offerings?" I said in surprise, as the Kushi turned around and looked at the desk in front of the two walls of the temple, there was a row of human-faced ghosts on the table only a few tens of centimeters, these hairy ghosts were in different shapes, but they were all that hateful and terrifying appearance.
"The human-faced hairy ghost plays the role of attracting souls and ascending to heaven in the demon tower, so we can identify it as the undead inducer, and the one behind the everlasting candle must also be a god of the underworld. The little Taoist priest analyzed.
I wondered, "How can I be sure that this is a god of the underworld?
The little Taoist priest shook his head and said, "When I came here, I felt that the feng shui location of this temple was not reasonable. ”
Ba Jian pulled us into the range of no longer being looked at, and then said, "How is it unreasonable?"
The little Taoist priest said: "No matter where the temple is built, the temple door needs to be accessible, so that it can bless the Quartet, and the temple gate of this temple is facing the demon tower, the tower is towering, covering the blessing of the temple, and it is barren and gravel all around, although the poplar in front of it is tall, but it grows sparsely in twos and twos, looking chaotic, covering the light that the temple should have, and gathering yin energy. Since the Demon Tower is a maze array set up by a master, how could he not understand the requirements for the layout of the temple......'s feng shui?
Hearing this, I was puzzled: "What is the purpose of the master's design of this game? Also, I thought it was strange just now, the Kushi said that the nine-story tower was a prayer tower, and it was originally for blessings, and they didn't have an accident when they went in last time, why did we become a demon tower when we entered?"
The little Taoist priest replied: "I can't say the exact purpose, but the suspicious array always wants to cover up. This tower and the small temple itself must have secrets that outsiders don't know, so they took so much trouble to set up a formation. As for why the prayer tower became a demon tower, there is actually an explanation, the prayer tower is a place of prayer for people who are familiar with this place, but for us ignorant outsiders, it is the demon tower. Do you remember some of the dried flowers we saw earlier? When we walked through these flowers, we probably entered the demon array, and when we opened the curtain curiously, the Broken Knife Man was the first to touch the demon array, so the crisis happened. ”
The treasurer on the side nodded and said, "Yes, the guy who came here with me before is very familiar with the customs of the Loulan people, and he told me that this is the prayer tower, and I only wanted to find the treasure at that time, and I didn't care about the wall at all, so I didn't violate the demon array." But what are you talking about and secrets?"
The little Taoist priest turned around and looked at the statue of the gods, and said profoundly: "Since there are secrets that we want to cover, we can find some clues from them, maybe these clues are what you are looking for, the clues of the ancient tomb." ”
When the library master heard this, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't believe it: "Are you sure?"
I looked at his appearance, and now I finally realized why he couldn't find the location of the ancient tomb, it turned out that this old guy was not a person born in an inverted bucket in the first place, thinking that he was a capable person, and he was a famous local camel trader, in fact, he was not bad at all for money, and he couldn't afford to take his own time again and again for the treasure in the ancient tomb, and he also went on an adventure in person, which is too much for a person who is not a professional inverted bucket.
But a person has one idea, no one knows what kind of story is behind him, maybe this old guy is really crazy about money, and the money from selling camels is not enough to satisfy his money worship.
Speaking, we returned to the statue again, we thought it was the most weird before, this time the big guy took it first, saving this demonic idol from giving us a whole moth, in addition, we can also find clues on it that the little Taoist priest said, maybe there will be some unexpected discoveries.
