Chapter Thirty-Eight: The King of Liaolu Explores the Altar of Sacrifice

Yeluchang's hand trembled slightly as he held the soaked paper, and Zi Wei also took the paper from his cousin's hand, because the font was particularly blurry, he held it high in the air and looked at the light, "What does this mean?" After reading it, he asked in confusion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Of course, Yi Han didn't know, but when he saw Yelu Chang fall into a deep thought, Zi Wei muttered: "Could this Ghost Abyss Ancient Tomb refer to the Wolf Cave Abyss and the Wolf God Mansion Cave Tomb?" ”

"The Wolf Treasure... Wolf supreme treasure? Yelu Chang wrinkled his brows, bit his fist, and muttered a few words, there is no clue, this wolf supreme treasure is not talking about the things in the cave tomb of the wolf god mansion? Or does it mean something else? What does the Soul Prison mean?

Yi Han was also a little discouraged when she looked at the two of them in confusion, she couldn't guess what it meant from the words that Ye Luchang said, but just like she thought yesterday, if this sentence was hidden in some way, then the meaning was not simple, but they didn't know it at the moment.

Yi Han simply told Zi Biao and Yelu Chang his thoughts, not surprisingly, the two of them felt that it made sense, now the time is pressing, they don't know when the army outside will come in, this place does not dare to stay for a long time, Yi Han is quite interested in lighting tools, picked up two more torches, shook them in his hand and asked Yelu Chang: "His Royal Highness King Lu, can these torches be taken away?" ”

"Take it, it's fine." Yeluchang is generous, and it's not his anyway.

The three of them cleaned up, Yeluchang and Ziqiao changed out of a soldier's clothes, loaded some torches and fire folds, and of course hurried on the road without the soaked paper.

Out of the cave is the plank road, at a glance is not able to see the end, do not know where to lead, they walk on the plank road is much easier than climbing the mountain, outside the plank road is the cliff, frightened and cold, the early morning sun just got up, crossed a thin layer of mist, the wolf mountain is majestic, the peaks are beautiful, and the stone wall next to them is like the sky, at any time it feels as if it is about to collapse down the general aggressive.

The higher they go, the sea of clouds is getting denser and denser, it seems that they are going to enter the fairyland, a piece of mountain stone stands on the top of the mountain and is crumbling, the plank road under their feet does not know how long it has been built, some are broken, but fortunately, it is still relatively firm, sometimes looking down the mountain through those broken wooden boards, the legs will tremble unconsciously, too high and too dangerous, if this falls, I am afraid that the gods will also fall.

The scenery was also handsome, and the three of them also accelerated their pace of progress, feeling that they had also walked for a long time, Yi Han suddenly stopped and turned around to look at the two of them, and asked, "Have you walked this plank road?" As she spoke, she suddenly frowned slightly, and looked at the two of them a little stunned.

"Nope." Yeluchang replied.

Zi Biao took over and said: "I wanted to go and see it yesterday, but I was too tired, so I gave up." ”

The two of them also felt that something was wrong with Yi Han, and just as they wanted to ask what was wrong, she cut it off and whispered: "Don't make a sound, as usual, I suddenly found that someone seemed to be following us." ”

What the!

Hearing this, Ziqiao and Yeluchang's faces changed, and they were stunned in place, some wanted to glance behind them, but they couldn't see it, and they panicked.

Yi Han also felt a little inexplicable, and she didn't know if she could see it clearly, if someone was really following when they were following, why didn't she feel it at all, thinking about it and turning around again, as if it was all right, she asked again: "Then since that's the case, let's go." ”

Zi Biao and Ye Lu Chang will not make a noise, this kind of thing is known, just leave a hand to prepare, and the servants will continue to walk without saying much.

This plank road is too narrow, and the cliffs are steep, you have to cross the plank road before anything else, and they are not stupid, this mountain range is blocked by the army, how can ordinary people come here, so follow them... You don't have to think about it to know who it is.

It's just -- what about the purpose?

The speed of passage was also accelerated. The three of them didn't say anything along the way, Yi Han walked in the front, she was thinking in her heart how long these people had been following, from entering the mountain to today, they were all dangerous every step along the way, maybe it was because of this that they didn't find that someone was following them.

But there is one thing that Yi Han doesn't understand, after they were attacked by man-eating ants, all three of them jumped into the water to escape, so how did these people follow? Did they have known that they were going to the cave for the others? I feel that this game of chess is so big, is it all settled?

Yi Han thought about it and secretly turned his head sideways, and looked behind him out of the corner of his eye, except for Yeluchang and Ziqiu, there was no one left, it was empty, and Yi Han's veiled little face couldn't see any expression, but he could only hear her snort coldly.

No matter how long the plank road is, there is a moment when it is finished, the end of the plank road is no more than ten steps of flat road, followed by a long step, a little steep, but the three of them can't manage so much, just climb up, although it is a little longer, but it didn't take much time, climbed up the steps, and what appeared in front of me was an extremely open grassland, covering the entire mountaintop.

This scene was not shocking, what really shocked the three of them was a huge sacrificial platform in the middle of the meadow!

The sacrificial platform carved with white marble is three-layered, full of more than ten zhang high, extraordinarily magnificent, very conspicuous on this empty meadow, "This... This is the altar in the fresco! Zi Biao recognized it at a glance, but apparently the two people next to him also recognized it, it was the sacrificial platform of the Liao Emperor sacrificing to the wolf god painted in the mural! It turned out to be true!

The three of them looked at each other in shock, and finally walked towards the altar, the closer they got, the more they felt the shock and suffocating oppression brought by the majestic altar, each layer of the altar is a carving art with great visual impact, the white jade steps step on the ground nine layers, the exquisite jade masonry with the railing, and the lifelike wolf statues of various colors are carved on it, which is vivid.

The first layer is like this...

The same is true for the second layer...

Stepping slowly, Zi Wei stopped Yi Han when he was on the second floor, and shook his head at her, this kind of altar is the emperor's thing, people like them should not come up, the third layer of the sacrificial top is the most important, non-priests and emperors are not allowed to enter the ear, the two of them kick the top without permission, it will be condemned to the crime of treason.

Yi Han was a little stunned, but Yelu Chang walked up with a little hesitation, Zi Wei didn't stop him, his cousin was Emperor Tianzuo personally canonized King Lu, so he was naturally qualified to climb to the top of the altar, plus he was holding a wolf blood jade, sometimes even the sacrificial ceremonies within the royal family should be presided over by him.

Yeluchang walked up to the third floor, everything in front of him was quite surprised, the white jade on the ground on the third floor has been dyed red, in stark contrast to the two layers below, there is a white jade table in the center, and there is a golden furnace on the table, which has not been taken away, and behind the jade table is carved a kneeling person, this scene does not appear in the mural, Yeluchang was a little shocked, only to see that in front of the kneeling man is a tall wood erected, and there is a cage underneath, which is the same as what they see in the mural. Presumably, this cage was used to lock up the wolves and hang them from high altitudes.

Yeluchang walked over, wanting to take a closer look at the carved people, but just approached but was attracted by the scene outside the altar, this altar they always thought was in the middle of the meadow, but in fact it was not, because beyond the altar is the vast sea of clouds and towering cliffs, this altar is actually located at the very edge of the meadow, because the altar is too majestic and tall, completely blocking the view of the servants, will have the illusion that the altar is in the center.

And beneath this altar, Jerodan could see a high bridge spanning the two mountains, connecting the mountain range with the opposite peak, which they did not know. Yelu Chang recovered from the shock and glanced sideways at the stone figure kneeling on the ground.

That's right, it's carved in stone.

It seems that it must be a long, long time ago, and there is some moss, and Yeluchang's first impression is that this stone statue should not be carved at the same time as this altar, of course, this is only his own idea. Take a closer look at this stone figure, it feels like it's a little familiar, and then think about it and suddenly be stunned, this... Isn't this the Khitan ancestor in the mural?

Why did the stone statues of the Khitan ancestors appear on this altar? Yeluchang's face turned pale, not to mention which emperor built this altar, but isn't it too much to let his ancestors kneel here all year round in the wind and sun... Big unfilial piety?

Yeluchang thought about it, and quietly felt a little angry in his heart, because after all, this was also his ancestor. Gradually, his eyes looked down, and he saw that in front of the kneeling statue of the Khitan ancestor, there was a large jade slab, and Yeluchang leaned closer...

This slate is actually full of words!
