Chapter 463: Stone Statue of the Nine Dragons
Since gaining mystical energy, Zhou Xiaochuan has encountered many things that science cannot explain. Therefore, after listening to the legendary story told by Lao Sun Tou, he decided that this dragon temple was related to the legendary dragon. Can't wait to get inside and see if you can find some clues to unveil the mysterious energy.
Yuan Huanshan and Lao Sun Tou followed closely behind, and also walked into the dilapidated Shenlong Temple.
Only Qing Er didn't follow in, just stood at the door of the broken temple and looked inside. On that drunken face, there was actually a look of fear and fear.
It's a pity that at this moment, no one noticed the reaction of this drunken man.
After walking into this Shenlong Temple, Zhou Xiaochuan and the three of them found that the location of this temple was remote and dilapidated, but the area it occupied was really not small.
After entering the temple gate, there is a spacious courtyard with a bluestone paved stone path in the center. Because of its disrepair, the bluestone slabs on this stone road have long been turned into gravel and covered with weeds. But even so, it can be seen that the stone path leads straight to the main hall at the back.
Although the main hall has long been a dilapidated scene of broken walls and leaking air everywhere, the plaque is still hanging in the middle of the high place, and there are also three big characters written on it: Shenlong Palace.
It seems that this hall is where the dragon is enshrined.
On both sides of the main hall are dilapidated guest rooms that can no longer be inhabited. Even so, it can be seen that in the heyday of this dragon temple, the incense was still very prosperous. Otherwise, why build so many guest rooms for temple worshippers and pilgrims?
In addition to the main hall and guest rooms, on both sides of this stone path, there are nine stone statues. Because it was covered in moss, it was covered with weeds, vines, and cobwebs. It's impossible to see what they really look like.
"What kind of stone statues are these?" Yuan Huanshan looked curiously: "Could it be the shrimp soldier and crab general turtle prime minister?" But I can't make up nine. ”
The old grandson was also curious, and walked up to one of the stone statues. Reach out and pull away the weeds, vines, cobwebs, and other things that cover the stone statue. The true face of the stone statue hidden underneath is revealed.
The statue looked like a turtle, but it had a row of sharp teeth in its mouth. In addition, the shape and pattern of the tortoise shell are not quite the same as those of ordinary turtles. Of course, the biggest feature. It was the huge stone tablet that was carried on its turtle's back.
After seeing the true face of this stone statue clearly, Yuan Huanshan couldn't help but be stunned: "What is this...... Dumpling? ”。
Although he did not believe in ghosts and gods. But after all, he was born in a family of national arts. Family history, I still know the legendary beasts and beasts.
"That's right, this is one of the nine sons of the dragon. It is also known as the subordinate. Zhou Xiaochuan glanced at the stone statue. frowned slightly, and reached out to take out the old turtle hidden in his trouser pocket to probe his brain.
looked at the turtle, then at the old turtle, and finally whispered: "Old turtle, how is the pattern of your turtle shell exactly the same as the pattern of this turtle shell?" ”
The old turtle looked very surprised: "Oh? Is it? I'm exactly the same as the turtle shell pattern? It's a shame. I've never seen what my turtle shell pattern looks like. "That's the truth, just its little head and little neck. It's really impossible to see the pattern on your turtle shell.
After the surprise, the old turtle began to make up his mind again: "Hey, master, you said that since my turtle shell pattern is exactly the same as that of the turtle, does that mean that I am the descendant of the turtle?" If that's the case, it's awesome! According to the path of your human fantasy novels, wouldn't I have become the inheritor of the divine vein? I didn't expect my identity to be so noble! After I go back, I must show off well, especially to let Shazi realize that my identity is more noble than it, and see if it dares to bully me in the future! ”…,
Zhou Xiaochuan couldn't help laughing, and said mercilessly: "Okay, don't be lewd there, even if you are really a descendant, you will also be bullied by the sand." What's more, you're just a little similar to this stone statue with a turtle's back pattern. ”
The excitement and excitement on the old turtle's face disappeared in an instant, and the two little eyes were full of grievances: "Master, master, can't you let me fantasize a little longer?" Stab the knife too fast! ”
Zhou Xiaochuan ignored it anymore and set his eyes on the other eight stone statues: "It seems that the one standing in this courtyard should be Long Jiuzi." ”
I don't know why, the old turtle was secretly relieved, but unfortunately Zhou Xiaochuan's attention had moved to the stone statue and he didn't notice this. And Yuan Huanshan and Lao Sun Tou didn't pay attention to the expression reaction of a turtle.
According to legend from ancient times, the dragon had nine sons, all of whom were very different in appearance, temperament and even hobbies.
Although none of the nine sons of the dragon were able to turn into dragons in the end, they all had their own magical abilities, and their power was even no less than that of dragons.
The old grandson shook his head and said: "I have seen a lot of temples dedicated to dragons, but it is really rare to enshrine the nine sons of the dragon like this. At this moment, he only hated that when he came, he didn't carry a camera. In desperation, he only used the camera function of his mobile phone to take pictures of the strange layout and scenes in this dragon temple.
Yuan Huanshan suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something hidden in the barren grass in front of the nine stone statues, and after cleaning it up, he said: "You see, there is a stone seat in front of the nine stone statues, what is this for?" ”
Zhou Xiaochuan and Lao Sun Tou took a closer look, and there was indeed a stone seat in front of each of the nine stone statues, but because they had just been covered by wild grass, they didn't find it for a while.
"Let me see." Old Sun Tou walked to the stone seat that Yuan Huanshan cleaned up, squatted down and looked at it carefully, and gave a judgment: "This is the incense burner seat." It seems that in the heyday of this dragon temple, there was an incense burner in front of the stone statue of each dragon nine sons. ”
Zhou Xiaochuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "Old Sun Tou, you said that the Fox Ding Furnace, is it possible that it is one of the nine incense burners?" ”
Lao Sun Tou did not rush to answer, but gestured the length and width of the stone seat with his hand, and replied after a little silence: "Judging from the size of this stone seat, your guess is very likely. ”
"Damn, no!" Yuan Huanshan couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.
He knew that Zhou Xiaochuan's Fox Ding Furnace was a spiritual weapon, if there were really nine Ding Furnaces corresponding to the Nine Dragons here, wouldn't that mean that there were once nine spiritual weapons in this Divine Dragon Temple?
Moreover, these nine spiritual artifacts are placed in the open air for people to incense.
This Nima is too extravagant and wasteful, right? Not a lot of words
In addition to being shocked, Yuan Huanshan thought of another question: "If there are eight other Ding furnaces here, in addition to the Fierce Ding Furnace, then where did these Ding Furnaces go?" ”
There was no way for him not to care about this matter, after all, those eight Ding Furnaces could all be spiritual weapons!
The old grandson shook his head and replied, "Who knows? This Divine Dragon Temple seems to have been abandoned for at least dozens or hundreds of years, and the other eight Ding Furnaces may have been stolen and sold a long time ago, right? A lot of words, what about the two of them? Why didn't you follow up? I also said that I would ask him about the situation. ”
It wasn't until this moment that the three of them discovered that the drunkard Qing Er had not followed him into this Divine Dragon Temple.
"Don't get drunk outside, do you? A lot of words" Zhou Xiaochuan said with a frown, and at the same time walked towards the outside of the temple.
"This drunkard is really troublesome." Yuan Huanshan muttered, and together with the old grandson, followed behind Zhou Xiaochuan. ..., soon the three of them walked outside the Shenlong Temple, and saw Qing Er sitting on a stone about seven or eight meters away from the Shenlong Temple, gulping down the bottle of liquor in his hand.
Yuan Huanshan stepped forward, snatched the bottle of wine from his hand, and asked, "Are you still drinking?" Aren't you afraid of really getting drunk and dying in this wilderness? ”
If on weekdays, if anyone took away the wine bottle in Qing's second-hand hand, he would definitely fight with the other party. But today, his reaction was very strange, there was no sign of anger at all, just urging: "You've finished visiting this ruined temple, you're leaving, right?" Quite a few words are good, okay, let's go, hurry up. ”
He was acting as if he was afraid of something.
Yuan Huanshan was puzzled: "What are you afraid of?" As the saying goes, 'wine strengthens people's courage', you have drunk so much wine, what else is there to be afraid of? ”
Qing Er was trembling, obviously avoiding the question and refusing to answer.
Zhou Xiaochuan walked up to Qing Er, and first comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, with us, even if something really happens, we will do our best to protect your ......" After his mood calmed down a little, he asked: "Let me ask you, when you stole the Fox Ding Furnace from this Divine Dragon Temple, did you see any traces of the other eight Ding Furnaces?" ”
"No, when I found this place, I only saw the Ding Furnace. And I didn't know it was a Ding furnace at the time, I just thought it was a big copper pot, and I wanted to sell it to the scrap collector for some wine money. Besides, this ruined temple has been deserted for an unknown number of years, and moving something out of it can't be considered stealing, right? Quite a few words"
Qing Er looked very anxious and scared, as if he wanted to clarify that his actions were not stealing.
"What the hell are you afraid of?" Zhou Xiaochuan asked puzzled.
After hesitating for a while, Qing Er raised his right hand and pointed not far away with a trembling voice: "It's ...... I'm afraid it'......"
Zhou Xiaochuan and the three of them turned their heads in unison and looked in the direction of Qing Er's finger.
A ray of sunset light, at this time, penetrated the lush woods and dilapidated roofs, and shone on the stone statue of Canglong in the Shenlong Temple......
