Chapter 172: Ancient Temple
I don't know what spell he used, and the white sand pile of ground under the feet of the two began to sink, and the sand automatically parted to the sides, silently accepting them in.
They descended all the way until they finally stepped on a piece of ground, and there was a stone door in front of them, and when they pushed it open, a dark passage suddenly appeared in front of them.
A breeze came from inside the passage, and he smelled the breath between his nose and felt that something was wrong.
"If this is a building left over from ancient times, buried underground all year round, it stands to reason that the air will be thin and the breath will be rotten, but the feeling here is not like it has not been opened for thousands of years. ”
Yan Lie touched the wall, took some sand from the ground, put it under his nose and twisted it, thoughtfully.
Wan Xi took out the pearl of the night, and wanted to see the situation in the passage through the faint light, so she stepped into it with one foot, and suddenly two fires lit up on the walls on both sides, and then other fires lit up one after another, extending to the deepest part of the passage.
In a few moments, the whole passage was brightly lit up as day.
Wan Xi subconsciously glanced at Yan Lie, Yan Lie nodded, his expression was not shocked, "Let's go, it's just a lighting formation." ”
The two of them walked all the way along the passage, the passage was quiet, the unknown ahead was very quiet, in this ancient ruin, I don't know how many secrets were waiting for them to come and excavate.
After walking for about a stick of incense, there was a fork in the road ahead, and Wan Xi was about to ask Yan Lie which way they were going, but when his footsteps were aimed at something, he paused for a moment.
"What's that?" she said with a hint of nervousness in her low voice.
Yan Lie looked in the direction of her finger, and there was a piece of cloth exposed, which seemed to be a piece of the clothes worn by the person, and was now emerging from the side of the fork in the road, so from the perspective of Bang Xi and Yan Lie, it looked like a person was hidden there.
Yan Lie motioned for her to stand behind him, and he stepped forward slowly, suddenly striking out as fast as lightning, subduing the other party in the blink of an eye.
But when he saw the man's face clearly, he turned his face and shook his head.
She took two steps forward, only to find that it was a dead body sitting on the ground, and she glanced at the rotting face, and then looked away.
"You're right, though. Yan Lie glanced at the skeleton a few times, and said to Wan Xi, "It's really not like this place has been closed for thousands of years. ”
"What do you mean?" said Wan Xi, still with his face sideways, for no other reason, the face of the dead body was so miserable.
"If thousands of years had passed here, this person would have been a skeleton if not a pile of powder at this time. Yan Lie's tone was indifferent, "But judging from the decomposition of his body, it will not be more than a month at most." ”
Bang Xi reacted immediately, "The time flow rate of the refining realm is fast and slow, so this is a space with a slow flow rate?"
"Hmm. Yan Lie stood up, took her hand and continued to walk deeper.
"Then do you think there will be any living people here?" Bang Xi suddenly thought, since only a month has passed in this ruin, what is so strange about meeting living people?
If they could see a living person, she and Yan Lie would be able to ask that person directly, and learn from him what happened here and the truth about the ancient war.
This question stopped Yan Lie, and he couldn't answer it, according to everyone's previous understanding, because of a vicious battle in the ancient times, all kinds of energy that was enough to wipe out living beings were filled in the refining realm, and it was only slightly stable today, so there would not be any living creatures left at that time.
The eggs he brought back to the valley were also able to escape because he had no spiritual consciousness at that time, and the environment was convenient, but this was an extremely special exception.
"We'll find out if there's anyone alive when we go in. He walked calmly and unhurriedly, "I think some dead things are the most dangerous than living people." ”
The footsteps of the two echoed through the empty passageway, and gradually, they came to the end, and suddenly an open space appeared in front of them, which looked like an ancient temple.
The bizarre carvings, the colorful decorations, and the obscure writing all tell them that this is a shrine of the Witch Clan.
They descended the stone steps into the interior of the temple, in the center of which was enshrined a faceless statue.
"Why doesn't this statue have a face?" Bang Xi saw such a statue for the first time, in the past in the Three Gods Mountain, they worshiped the Emperor of Heaven, the statue of the Emperor of Heaven can be described as lifelike, at first glance, it looks like a real person appeared in front of her.
"This probably has something to do with the beliefs of the Wu clan. Yan Lie thought back to the records he had read, "These ancient barbarian tribes believed in a large number of gods, and it was difficult to unify them, and it is probably because of this that they unified the creation of a faceless god statue." ”
There is no face, but it can be a thousand faces, depending on the wishes of the believers.
As she looked at the temple carefully, looking for clues about the ancients, her eyes paused as she swept over the stone pillars beside the idol.
"There have been fierce fights here. She touched the uneven notches on the stone pillar, which were obviously left by some kind of sharp weapon, "Yan Lie, do you have any research on these ancient weapons?"
Hearing this, Yan Lie also walked over to take a look, "It seems to be left by some kind of axe." ”
"This stone pillar, as well as the ground seems to be the traces of the same weapon. Bang Xi carefully observed the ground again, "Is it infighting?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. Yan Lie pondered, "Let's find out if there are any other clues, this temple, I always feel that it is not so simple, if time has only passed here for a month, then how can the outside be buried by such heavy sand?"
In a short period of time, this is very contrary to the laws of nature.
Bang Xi's eyes also changed, "Do you think that the sand is man-made, just to bury the secrets in this temple?"
Yan Lie glanced at her, and the deep meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
They rummaged through the main hall again, and finally found several more bodies behind a few fine stone pillars.
"These people died unnaturally. Yan Lie quickly made a judgment.
Bang Xi glanced at these corpses, and immediately found that there was a person with a person's clothes, which were completely different from the others, "Look at the clothes on this person's body, he is dressed in a white robe, could it be a priest?"
She got closer, crouched down and saw the corpse's face, her brow furrowed again, "No, it seems to be a woman." ”
