Chapter 340: The Three-Eyed Stone Man
"You're so polite. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Having said that, the stone man took the stone with a smile.
Yan Yao and Lin Jing left together, and did not ask any more, for fear that if they asked again, they would show their feet, and now the answer they got has made the two of them gain a lot.
There is something strange about this city, what kind of baptism did the people here take to become this stone man form, and what kind of person is the priest who does all this, and why did he do it.
Looking at the situation of these stone people, they did not look hostile to ordinary people, and it was completely different from the expected situation.
If the people here are all willing to be baptized and turn into stone men, it is a little wrong to take care of their affairs, after all, they are all voluntary, and this kind of life is all chosen by themselves, and it does not hinder anyone.
Lin Jing is not a virgin, and she doesn't want to meddle with other people's affairs, but she is very good at how the priest turned these stone people who were originally ordinary humans into stone people.
There is another possibility, that is, the stone man is lying, but this doesn't make sense, why should this stone man tell such a lie, if he really wants to harm the two of them, just call a large group of stone people to come and arrest the two of them, there is no need to be so troublesome.
Night.
Lin Jing and Yan Yao, who had been wandering around the city for a day, did not wait for the stone man in the city to be arrested, and no stone man reported the two at all, thinking that they were new members and were about to be baptized.
Lin Jing couldn't help but be curious, and he and Yan Yao stayed awake in the middle of the night, sneaking towards the city temple.
When I came to the temple, there was no door, but a huge portal, and inside was a huge statue of a stone man, the most striking of which was the third eye between the statue's forehead, which also emitted a dazzling fiery red light at night.
The temple is very elegant, the floor is a calm stone that is black and shiny, as if it has been tiled, and the walls around it are frescoed with frescoes, so dark that it is too dark to see.
Judging by the situation in front of you, you don't see anything special.
The two of them walked to the back of the temple, where there was a passageway, and on both sides of the passage was a green halo of glowing fluorite that looked eerie and terrifying, and they didn't know where it led.
Lin Jing's courage was much greater than when she first crossed over, and Yan Yao was beside her, so she was not afraid, and the two walked towards the depths of the passage.
After walking for about a minute, I came to an empty room, which was large enough to accommodate hundreds of people, and in the middle of this room there was a large crater formed by the impact of a meteorite, and in the center of the pit, an irregular stone with a crater was lying quietly.
The stone is dark black in color, with a purplish-red glow from time to time.
Lin Jing became vigilant, and the super intuition given by the prophecy talent told her that this stone was very dangerous, and it was better not to approach it.
For the sake of safety, he also cast a magic shield on himself and Yan Yao, which made him feel a little more relaxed.
"There is something strange about that stone, and I feel the blood boiling in my body, as if I am in love with the influence of this stone." Yan Yao's expression was solemn.
Lin Jing didn't feel Yan Yao's feelings, but even Yan Yao's strength was affected, so you can imagine the power of this strange stone.
"The two of you came so late to see this stone."
A tall figure came out of the darkness in front of him, he approached slowly, and in the dim light, he showed a strong stone man with a height of nearly three meters, this stone man seemed to be an old man, his chin had many fine stone cones, like a beard, and in the middle of his forehead, there was a vertical eye, which was the same as the stone man gods that others believed.
Yan Yao's fists were slightly clenched, ready to attack at any time.
"I'm sorry to bother you so late, we're from the Middle Regions, and we often hear legends about the Eternal City, so come and see, we're not hostile." Lin Jing indicated his identity, in fact, even if he didn't say it, these stone men could also find out, and today the stone man guarding the door had already recognized the faces of himself and others through the hole in the city gate.
"Everyone yearns for this city favored by the gods, I understand your thoughts, it is better to sit down and talk in detail." The stone priest sat down.
Lin Jing and Yan Yao glanced at each other, then walked over together and sat down opposite the stone priest.
"I'm really sorry, we stone people don't need to eat human food, so we didn't prepare." The stone priest showed an apologetic and polite appearance, which was very different from the people in Wolf City.
"It's okay, we're not hungry." Lin Jing smiled.
The stone man priest nodded: "Whatever you want to ask, just ask now, I am also curious about the affairs of the Middle Domain, I heard that it is full of plants, which is very different from the environment of our Western Desert." ”
"It's really a little different, my name is Lin Jing, this is my partner Yan Yao, and we are from the Yanhuang tribe in the Central Region." Lin Jing introduced, and so far he didn't feel the hostility on the stone priest.
"My name is Yu Xiu, and I am also the high priest of the Stone Man Clan." The stone priest smiled.
"By the way, you just said that you don't eat human food, do you eat stones?" Lin Jing remembered the scene she saw during the day and couldn't help asking.
"It seems that you have found out, yes, we stone people only need to eat stones to survive, and it is better if there are stones with fighting energy."
"You were originally human, right, but how did you become a stone man?" Lin Jing asked again.
"Haha, this is going to start with this Extraterrestrial Divine Stone." The stone priest held out a finger to the strange stone in the crater in the center.
"Extraterrestrial Divine Stone!" Lin Jing was taken aback, and looked at the strange stone, which turned out to be the reason for this stone.
Yan Yao also looked at the stone, and retracted his gaze suspiciously, except for a sense of danger, this stone did not find any other abnormalities, as for the glowing stone, it is not uncommon among the many stone mines in the Western Desert that will glow.
"It's this Divine Stone, since it fell from the sky six hundred years ago, when our Eternal City was just a small tribe, I was only ten years old at the time, and I saw the Divine Stone fall from the sky, and the burning flames destroyed an oasis, that is, the land of the Eye Piece."
"The tribesmen did not notice the strangeness of this stone at first, they observed it for a few days and then left, only I came often, at that time I was a strange child in my clan, and I did not play with me, I would run to this sacred stone every day in a daze, until one day, I found that there was a hard object like a stone growing on my body."
"At the beginning, I was frightened, and after letting the priests of the clan treat me with herbs, it didn't work, so it dragged on day by day, and the changes in my body became more and more serious......"
The stone priests tell stories from hundreds of years ago. (To be continued.) )
