Volume 1 The Decisive Battle for the Forbidden Chapter 72 Heavenly Palace
The temple was a large temple built with huge stones against the mountain wall, and the huge stone steps extended to the height of the mountain wall, leading to the two doors embedded in the stone wall. In front of the temple, there are two stone pillars that reach to the sky, standing like King Kong falling from the sky, guarding the temple gate that is as wide as the gate of heaven. And the temple door is also carved with bluestone, with a very beautiful pattern on it, but it has peeled off because of too much time. From a distance, the two huge doors were tightly closed.
The whole temple seems to have stood here since ancient times, showing a sense of mottled vicissitudes. However, at this time in the night, it looks extremely strange.
Li Xunhuan and Tie Chuanjia were shocked. They had no idea that they could see such a dazzling sight just by turning a mountain bend. Great architecture always gives people a visceral vibration, and the fact that this bitter cold place in the far north is a rare place for people to visit, and the appearance of such a building is an incredible thing in itself.
What's more, the fact that those who are like walking corpses are completely gone, proving that they seem to be guarding this somewhat exotic temple. Li Xunhuan couldn't help but think, is his enemy just behind the giant gate of this temple? Is he watching them quietly in some unknown place at this time? A group of grandmaster-like characters can also be used as "cannon fodder", so how powerful is his enemy? And how terrifying?
Swallowing deeply, he retracted his mind that was shocked by the momentum exuded by this majestic building. The two of them were speechless for a long time, and judging by the strength of this building, the two of them had fully realized how terrifying and desperate the enemy they were facing.
After a long time, Li Xunhuan breathed a long sigh of relief, smiled a little bitterly, and said to Tie Chuanjia: "If you go back now, you will be in a hurry." ”
Tie Chuanjia said: "What about the second master?"
Li Xunhuan said: "I, I want to go in, I have too many doubts in my heart, if I don't solve them, my thoughts will not work." ”
Tie Chuanjia smiled: "Second master, you know that I won't go behind your back, so why do you say those words." If the second master returns, my Tie Chuanjia will not look back at this place, so he will follow the second master back. The second master said enter, and my iron armor will not retreat for half a point. Living and dying with the second master is not just talking. ”
Li Xunhuan smiled and said, "Okay, with you as a brother in this life, I, Li Xunhuan, will die without regrets!"
As he spoke, he lifted his steps and walked towards the stone steps. Iron Armor followed.
The two didn't walk fast, and they didn't hide their tracks. Just walked generously towards the stone gate. Because they understand that even if they hide their tracks now, it won't be of any use, and even if the other party has such strength, then their every move should be under the control of the other party. What's the use of hiding your tracks at this time?
All the way up, you can see a lot of collapsed stone statues, Li Xunhuan looked carefully, these statues and many Central Plains temples worship gods are very similar, or similar, but slightly different, the feeling is very rough. There are also statues that are more similar to some myths and legends in the Western Regions. In this way, this is not a simple temple that can be summed up.
Li Xunhuan frowned, swept over these statues one by one, he was erudite and memorized, and it was difficult to forget many books after reading them. So along the way, there are dozens of gods that he can recognize by himself, including the Nine Heavens Xuannu in the Central Plains mythology, Gonggong, Zhurong, Chiyou and other ancient gods, as well as Taoist Sanqing. There are also some folk gods worshipped, such as Wutong God, Frog God and the like. There are also Indra, Vishnu, Brahma, Hanuman and so on in the mythology of Tianzhu Kingdom, and there is also a place called Greece in the far west, where the gods are also here, such as Zeus and Hades. As for the Buddha Protector of Buddhism, there are countless Venerables. Even Izanagi, Izanami, Susa, Amaterasu, and so on in Fuso Province are examples of this.
Li Xunhuan let out a long sigh, withdrew his gaze from these collapsed and broken stone statues, and walked up with Tie Chuanjia. It wasn't until he walked to the vast square in front of the temple that Li Xunhuan looked up again and looked at the huge plaque that had been hidden behind the stalagmites.
There are two words written on it: "Heavenly Palace"
When he saw these two words, Li Xunhuan's previously heavy mood suddenly relaxed. A disdainful smile appeared on his face. Turning back to Tie Chuanjia, he said: "I thought that the owner of this temple had such a big hand, and he should be an unattainable figure, but now it seems that he is just a vain attempt to become a god, well, in the words of the younger brother, it is a god who is vainly trying to become a god." ”
Tie Chuanjia laughed and said, "Yes, the spirit is sick." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, stopped talking, and then used their skills to slowly push the heavy stone door open. The dull rumble was deep and eerie. A crack in the stone door was enough for the two of them to enter.
The black hole inside is empty, and you can't see your fingers, but you can clearly feel a burst of emptiness. Tie Chuanjia took out the fire fold from his arms, and the faint light of the fire had just been born, and suddenly a large area was illuminated. The two of them were startled by the sudden light and immediately became vigilant.
However, it turned out that the surrounding stone cliffs were inlaid with reflective quartz, which were so many that even the faint light could make them reflect a dazzling feeling. Seeing this situation, both of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Looking far away, I found that the mountain wall had been completely hollowed out, and the depth was not many miles.
Tie Chuanjia picked up a torch from the ground that had been abandoned for an unknown amount of time, and brought the fire fold close to the handle, he just tried to see if he could light it, but unexpectedly, as soon as the fire fold got closer, the torch burst into flames. As a result, the already very bright interior of the temple is even more eye-catching.
In the bright light, they could already see clearly, this should be the main hall of the temple. The hall was so large that it seemed extremely empty. So, as they walked on the bluestone floor, the sound of their soles rubbing against the ground echoed even though their steps were already light.
The two of them walked forward, and they saw that there were many stone pedestals on both sides of the empty hall.
Li Xunhuan frowned and was silent.
Tie Chuanjia followed behind him, and when he saw his appearance, he couldn't help asking, "What is the second master thinking?"
Li Xunhuan said: "The stone statues outside the temple are obviously originally on these stone seats, I am wondering, who threw them all out?"
Tie Chuanjia said: "It must be the enemy of the owner of this temple. ”
Li Xunhuan shook his head, stopped talking, and continued to walk forward.
The two walked for an unknown amount of time, and the quartz stones on the mountain wall gradually disappeared. Except for the light of the torches, it was pitch black again. After walking for a while, Li Xunhuan suddenly stopped, twitched his nose hard, and asked, "Did you smell anything?"
Tie Chuanjia frowned and said, "There is a faint smell of blood. ”
Li Xunhuan nodded, and Tie Chuanjia looked around with a torch. In a short time, they found a large number of animal carcasses in a stone chamber, some of which had been reduced to white bones, while others were extremely fresh.
After Li Xunhuan looked at these corpses, he smiled and said, "I thought that these people were really the living dead, or zombies, and they didn't drink or eat." Now it seems that this is not the case, and they also need food. ”
Tie Chuanjia asked, "How can you see that the carcasses of these beasts are their food?"
Li Xunhuan said: "Because there are tooth marks on it, and it is still human." ”
Tie Chuanjia held the torch and looked closely, and sure enough, there were indeed marks on it that had been bitten by human teeth. He sighed and said, "Have these people been drinking blood, and what is the difference between this and the beast?"
Li Xunhuan said: "They are not normal people after all. ”
The two of them exited the stone chamber and walked further. Turning through a stone corridor, I saw another stone gate, which was also tall, but much smaller than the outer gate. But even this gives a deep sense of oppression. Unlike the closed door outside, this stone door was open, and there was a faint green light coming from the inside.
The two stopped, and Li Xunhuan motioned for Tie Chuan to extinguish the torch.
Then he cautiously approached the stone door and looked in the green light, but found that, unlike the main hall outside, there was an extremely wide grotto inside, and the green light was emitted by many huge luminous stones embedded around the grotto. If you look closely, there are nearly 100 sarcophagi suspended in the air......
