Chapter 406: An Zixin's Great Adventure (11)
As soon as An Zixin said it, several other people couldn't help but come over to take a look, but unfortunately they didn't know Lin Wenzhou, and they couldn't say why, only Ruan Zhou'an said: "This should be one of the gods worshiped by the ancient Xixia people!"
An Zixin almost didn't choke, she couldn't cry and laughed: "God? This is too anthropomorphic, right, in other words, the ancients believed in more than that, a more immortal fairy, right? ”
Ruan Zhouan shook his head with a serious face and said: "That's not necessarily, this feels like a lot of modern people worship Guan Erye, Guan Yunchang was just a fierce general back then, even if Yi Bo Yuntian is not a god, I guess this statue should be a famous general in the history of Western Xia, so it is more common sense that Empress Dowager Liang will come here to worship every time she goes on an expedition......"
An Zixin shone the statue with a flashlight again, tilted her head and wondered curiously, but gave up.
In addition to the statue in the middle of the second floor, the rooms on both sides are full of various weapons, Ruan Zhou'an explained in a timely manner, the Western Xia forging process was the most advanced at that time, whether it was the Song Dynasty or the Jin, it could not be compared.
Later, in a large room behind the statue, everyone saw a series of murals, and it was obvious that the protagonist in the mural was the man in the statue, who was holding a long sword and riding a Western Regions horse, with a majestic appearance.
Alessio exclaimed, "Miss An, look at that sword, it's a bit like the one in your hand!" ”
An Zixin sighed, she hadn't noticed it at first, but when she was mentioned by Alessio, the little beauty lowered her head and looked at the sword she got from the depths of the barracks, it was really exactly the same as the one on the statue, even the pattern on the hilt and the sword crocodile was exactly the same!
An Zixin swung it a few times happily, in fact, this sword was a little heavy, but since she 'learned' from the prince brothers, her strength was much stronger than before, and it was very easy to wield.
And her strength growth is not at the cost of gaining muscles, An Zixin's figure is still so invincible, thin where it should be thin and big where it should be big.
Just as An Zixin waved it casually, suddenly the sword flashed with a golden light!
This discovery made An Zixin a little excited, she tried a few more times, but unfortunately never succeeded again, and then Alessio curiously took it and tried it, but unfortunately there was still no response, he said casually: "How cold is this sword ......?"
An Zixin said with a sigh: "Why do I feel that this sword is holding a warm ......?"
The two of them couldn't say why they were staring at each other, so they could only give up for the time being.
The terrain on the second floor is already very complicated, and because the inside of the temple is actually pitch black, the whole team is completely relying on the flashlight to find the way, which adds a lot of difficulty.
So An Zixin specially asked Alessio to be in charge of remembering the way, leaving marks at every corner, and finally with the help of the puppy cow, they finally found the stairs to the third floor after several laps.
As I walked up the stairs, there was a sudden commotion in the ears of the people, as if someone was arguing, and the sound echoed in the silent temple, which seemed particularly incongruous.
Robert, who was walking in the front, stopped abruptly and looked back at An Zixin, obviously wanting to ask her opinion.
An Zixin gritted her teeth and said: "Keep going, but slow down, it is estimated that Du Xiaoyue and Qiu Dashao have encountered it!" Let's touch it to see if there is any benefit from the fisherman, but be careful not to make any noise. ”
The others nodded, and continued to maintain their formation to the third floor.
The terrain on the third floor is somewhat similar to the second floor, and there is also a statue, but it is not consistent with the statue on the second floor that is somewhat similar to Lin Wenzhou, this time it is a woman wearing a robe.
The statue is made of unknown materials, thousands of years have passed, the image of this woman is still lifelike, An Zixin stared at the old man with wide eyes, and sighed again and again: "This time it's a bit like Aunt Lin!" ”
This time it was Ruan Zhouan who came over, Xueba took his eyes and repeatedly shone around the statue with a flashlight, and he suddenly pointed to a dark black stone in front of the statue and said, "Miss An, do you feel that something is wrong with this stone?" ”
Before An Zixin could answer, Alessio leaned over curiously and looked at it and said, "This stone has two grooves, hey, there is a stone bowl underneath, I know, this is used to collect some kind of liquid, right?" Well, it could be rain, no, it's ...... indoors."
An Zixin also noticed that there was indeed a bowl-shaped stone underneath the big stone, and the color was also dark black, which was completely different from other stone walls and floors.
Ruan Zhouan pushed down his glasses and interrupted him with a serious face: "You guessed correctly in the first half, it is indeed collecting some kind of liquid, but it is definitely not rainwater...... It's blood! ”
Alessio and An Zixin were both startled, and Ruan Zhouan said seriously: "There is a record of blood sacrifice in the history of Western Xia, and in addition to the special worship of the stars, this dynasty also has an unusual attachment to things like blood......
He pointed to the stone and said, "It was evident that this was used to collect the blood of the sacrifices...... As for this statue, I have a feeling that it may be the one who caused the founding emperor Li Yuanhao to have his nose cut off by his son! ”
An Zixin's small mouth opened the old avenue: "Won't it?" How do you know? ”
Ruan Zhouan pointed to the statue's right hand and said: "Look at this bracelet, according to historical records, Li Yuanhao once gave a pair of phoenix dance nine heavens bracelets to the Wuzang clan, it seems to be this ...... on this statue."
An Zixin tilted her head and said: "I said Senior Ruan, although I passed the history of middle school by cheating, but at least I know that a woman who caused the founding emperor's father and son to fall out of harmony and fought was worshiped by future generations, isn't this scientific?!" ”
Ruan Zhouan was stunned, pondered for a while, nodded and said, "It's a little strange...... And not worship in general, but blood sacrifices! I don't understand! ”
An Zixin smiled and said, "Don't worry, I guess there must be a mural behind this!" ”
Sure enough, their team quickly found a large number of murals in a square room behind the statue, and just as An Zixin expected, these murals recorded the life of the Wuzang clan!
The first painting is of a woman walking on the bank of the willows, and a man who looks like a boy is looking at her from a distance, and the woman's demeanor resembles that of the statue of the Muzang clan!
The second painting is a middle-aged man with a lofty appearance, wearing a dragon robe, well, obviously the emperor, holding a wine glass and drinking with the Muzang clan, the emperor's expression is lifelike, and he looks like he is deeply rooted.
The third painting is a huge funeral, and this time the Muzo clan appears in the corner of the picture, watching the funeral procession from a distance.
The fourth painting shows a squad of cavalry storming the city gates, and the city is ablaze.
The fifth painting is the Wuzang clan standing at the head of the city, raising his hands and looking down at the cavalry who are burning and killing and humiliating with a strong murderous aura, this mural is particularly tense, An Zixin only feels that in the world in the painting, the whole earth is trembling, and those originally arrogant cavalry show panicked expressions one by one!
The sixth painting, which is the last one, shows the Muzo clan standing on a high platform, with a sky full of stars above his head, and an emperor in a dragon robe standing beside him, but he is obviously not the same person as the emperor in the second painting before, and is much younger. An Zixin looked carefully and found that there was still a baby in his arms in this painting......
The mural ends here, and after everyone sees it, they can probably make up some content in their brains, but it is a little vague, but in any case, even these Italians are shocked by the mural that is still lifelike after thousands of years, not to mention Ruan Zhou'an, who is even more fascinated by it.
An Zixin was more sensible, she called out angrily, which allowed the team to move on.
On the way, Toledo specially ran to An Zixin's side and whispered: "Miss An, after a commotion just now, it seems to have quieted down again, something is wrong......
An Zixin was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "You mean that they didn't fight?!" ”
Toledo nodded vigorously and said, "yes, don't you think it's weird?" ”
An Zixin said honestly: "It's a little, so what should I do?" ”
Toledo thought for a long time and said: "There is no good way at the moment, just keep going, but everyone should be vigilant, I am worried that someone is ambushing us!" ”
An Zixin thought about it seriously, and suddenly the little beauty ran to the front of the team happily and picked up the cow that was exploring the path with Robert, she caressed the puppy while muttering: "Cow, your nose is amazing, if you smell someone in front of us tell us!" ”
Toledo had long been accustomed to this kind of interaction between An Zixin and the puppy, he looked at it with a smile and didn't say anything, but the cow looked at the owner curiously as if he didn't understand, probably because he didn't understand the instructions.
An Zixin worked hard, but then she really had no choice but to give up......
It took a little more time for the team to finally find the stairs and continue up.
The fourth floor, the second floor, and the third floor are completely different, and there is not as much of a complex topography as the latter, and the whole floor is mainly a large hall, and the walls are all beautifully frescoed on all sides.
The mural is divided into three parts.
The first part is full of war scenes, to the effect that it records some scenes of the Tangut people's conquest and victory, and many of them can be depicted in a key way, these people are all freshly dressed and angry, and their whole bodies are either turned into a flame, or transformed into giant beasts, or separated into countless light particles......
Ruan Zhou'an said with a sigh: "These murals seem to be a bit surreal, and they feel like mythical stories......"
However, halfway through his words, he suddenly found that An Zixin's face on the side turned white.
I just listened to the little beauty say word by word: "It's not a mythical story...... These are Adepts! ”
