Chapter 226: Temple

The first thing he passed was a moat, seven or eight meters wide, and although it had not dried up, there was not much water in the river, and he guessed that there was no management of the place, and the place where the water was diverted was cut off. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Before I walked to the city gate, I was even more shocked!

The city gate in front of him is 30 meters high, and the surrounding city wall is about 15 meters high, which can be compared with those ancient cities in China at that time.

There are a few words written on the city gate, a bit like hieroglyphs, but Di Wenchang doesn't know it, and nine times out of ten it is the name of the city.

The only drawback is that although these walls are made of stone, some of the wooden beams are almost rotten, and the tiles have fallen in some places, making the ancient city look a little dilapidated.

Creepers and unknown vines can be seen everywhere, climbing on the city walls and beams, although they are green, but they give people an inexplicable sense of sadness.

The style of this ancient city is strange, with high walls and gates on the outside, but from a distance, the inside is a carved building similar to that of the ancient Greek civilization.

The gates were made of wood, which had long since decayed, exposing the city completely.

Moreover, there is no suspension bridge here.

Di Wenchang groaned slightly, and stepped in.

After entering, it is a different world.

The most conspicuous is a tall temple-like building, with a dome and a spire, similar in style to the architecture of ancient Roman cities.

Looking around, most of them are carved buildings, scattered around, if it weren't for the outer Chinese-style city walls, Di Wenchang would even think that he had traveled to the ancient world of the West.

The ancient city was huge, and Di Wenchang began to wander slowly, while being wary of possible dangers.

All kinds of scattered stone houses, probably where the people live here, the street is very spacious, the ground is paved with stone floors, some uneven, at first glance it is some years.

In order to understand the standard of living here, Di Wenchang randomly chose a slightly larger stone house and walked in.

Most of the living utensils in the stone house are some ceramic products, which are very fine. It's just that there are no iron products here, and some copper tools that are about to rot completely can be seen.

"Hehe, is this a kitchen knife?"

Di Wenchang picked up something that looked like a kitchen knife, and with a slight force, it snapped and broke through the middle.

"Obviously, this should be the Bronze Age, bronze will be used, ceramics will be made, but what kind of civilization is it?" Di Wenchang muttered, rummaging through the stone house for a while, and found that many things were rotten, and they couldn't see the original at all.

I continued to search for the next stone house, and I walked seven or eight in a row, and found that they were all about the same, and there might be leather or other things here, but unfortunately the years were too old to leave even a trace of it.

Moreover, there was a very important place, he didn't see any human corpses, including bones or anything, as if there had never been a human here.

This made Di Wenchang extremely puzzled, what was the reason why the entire city fled here, but there was no trace of the battle.

He decided to visit the temple and maybe find information about the city.

The temple is in the middle of the city, and it took a while to walk to the front of the temple.

"This is supposed to be the so-called temple. Di Wenchang thought in his heart.

Although it was located in the middle of the city, it was surrounded by empty space and some trees, and he guessed that the lack of buildings around it was due to respect for the temple.

Now, I don't know how many years have passed, and the temple is already covered with low shrubs, and the stone steps of the temple are overgrown with weeds.

The shape of the temple is a little strange, from a distance, except for the dome and spire, it is a bit like Borobudur, atmospheric!

There are too many reliefs around, all kinds of human images, it seems to be some kind of Buddhism, great men, etc., but he doesn't know it, and he doesn't know where it came from.

When I walked to the gate, I found that it was a stone gate, which was made of a complete stone polished throughout, with one on the left and one on the left and one on the left, and the stone door was carved with strange reliefs.

These reliefs are not humans, but some very ordinary things, such as farm tools, plants, etc.

"Hey, it's wheat carved here!"

Looking at the carving on the door on the right, he could see at a glance that it was the same as wheat.

In addition, there was also a ploughing ox carved on the door, pulling a set of farm tools, reclaiming the land, and there was actually a person milking the cow underneath, which made Di Wenchang a little confused.

"In this civilization, there is still milk?"

He looked at the carving with a stunned expression, and after confirming it again and again, he found that he was not mistaken, that is, the portrait of a man milking cows was engraved.

Look elsewhere.

On the door, most of them are carvings about crops, and some things can't be seen what they are, and he roughly summed it up in his heart, to put it simply, this should be a slash-and-burn civilization, and will use bronze and pottery at the same time.

"Is this an ancient civilization or a prehistoric civilization...... Di Wenchang touched the statue and muttered to himself.

He was speculating about the origin of the ancient city, and, if it was a prehistoric civilization, which one would fit these characteristics?

Obviously, this cannot be the ancient civilization of China. But thinking about it this way, he didn't know much about Western civilization, and he couldn't guess the civilization that matched it for a while.

"Forget it, let's go in and have a look. Shaking his head, he decided to go inside the temple and look for more clues.

Moreover, since this is Treasure Island, there should be no shortage of treasures, right? If he can find it, it will not be in vain for him to come here.

Thinking of this, he put his palm against a stone door, ready to push the stone door open.

The stone gate is three meters high, and if it is calculated according to five cubic meters, it is 30,000 catties. Fortunately, he could not only rely on pure physical strength, he took a deep breath, and his internal strength was in the palm of his hand, and he worked hard to push Shimen.

However, the internal force increased to eighty or ninety, and his face was red, and Shimen still did not move.

After a while, he tried a few more times, but found that there was still no progress, so he had to give up for the time being.

"There must be a mechanism here!"

If it is said that the door is driven by manpower alone, he does not believe that he can't push it, the only possibility is that the stone gate has a mechanism, and those people rely on the mechanism to push the stone gate.

"I hope it doesn't break. ”

If he had to enter violently, Di Wenchang felt that he could still break through the stone gate, but it would be too wasteful, and he still wanted to move the people of the tribe over, and it would be troublesome to repair such a big gate in the future.

I searched carefully near the stone gate, and finally found a stone that could be loosened in the upper right corner of the stone gate, and my heart moved, and I pressed the stone into it hard.

Suddenly, the stone door made a kaka sound, and then it didn't move.

"It can't be that the power system is broken, right?" Di Wenchang guessed in his heart.

I don't know how many years the ancient city has passed, and no one has repaired it for many years, so it is likely that some key parts of the mechanism have decayed.

Sure enough, when the stone door was pushed again, there was a sound of Kaka, and the door was slowly pushed open.
