Chapter 21: The Helmet of the God of War
We walked into the main hall dedicated to the martial gods, after passing through the corridor on the side, there is a courtyard inside, I have never seen such a structure, the general temple hall has only one courtyard, either the front or the back, and this not only has a delicate courtyard in front, but also in the back, this one is much larger than the one in front.
The enclosed courtyard has the surrounding eaves corners flying up like the wings of a bird, and the tip is hung with a copper bell strung with red thread. There was a series of clanging sounds in the wind blowing in my ears, and it was not destroyed, just unattended, and it looked like a haunted house.
The quiet environment, the whirring wind, mixed with the copper bells of Qingyue, the doors and windows around are closed, there is no trace of fireworks, and the silence here is too weird.
"Do you think you're one of your kind?"
"No, there are martial gods enshrined here, there can be no ghosts, it's safe here. ”
"Hey, how did you just get in from under the nose of the Martial God unharmed?"
"I, probably because I came to the Mortal World with the blessing of the judges. ”
"Ahh ”
"I also realized it later, and it was only then that I realized his intentions. ”
I snorted twice, and then suddenly a door was blown open by the wind, and the door shaft clicked because of the old one, and the sound was like the sound of evil spirits gnawing bones, oh my God, it scared me a lot, and the wind was very weird.
Mei Xiya didn't speak, just stared at the place, staring intently at the door, I tentatively walked over, looked inside the room, and found that this was actually an ancestral hall, and there was a tablet with no inscription enshrined in the high hall. The layout in front of the tablet is also very serious, the fruit at this time is actually very fresh, and the three incense sticks in the incense tripod are also burning, it seems that it has not been long since it was plugged in, someone here comes, but no one takes care of this place?
"This is an ancestral hall, you see, there is a tablet in the middle, but there is no surname and identity, it is a wordless tablet. ”
"It's often cleaned, and it seems that people take this tablet very seriously. ”
After the two of us entered, the house was not ventilated because of the perennial burning of incense, and the smell of offerings was choking in the nose. And this incense tripod is a bit outrageously big, the most ordinary people offer incense is a bowl-sized incense tripod, but the incense tripod in the middle is enough to be hugged by two adults.
Looking around this room, in addition to this wordless tablet, there is also this huge incense tripod is strange, and there is no surprise in other places.
Suddenly, the dark yellow curtain hanging on my right hand moved, and there seemed to be something hidden behind it.
I called out to Mei Xiya softly, and pointed to the place, there was obviously something behind the curtain, and the curtain was shaking violently, and looking at the area, the volume of the thing seemed to be very large.
"What's that?"
"I don't know, shhh, be quiet, don't scare away, let's go over and have a look. ”
I tiptoed over and opened the curtain to take a look, I wanted to scare him and give him a dismount, so that he could be obedient, but it was actually a dog, and he was eating a piece of bloody fresh meat in the dog basin. Its mouth was covered in blood, its fangs bared, and it whirred in the wake of an invasion that might pose a threat to it.
It's a little scary, like the sound of the roaring dog poking up its teeth when I went to touch those puppies after Jiro God's Howling Dog was happy to get your child, although Jiro God told me that it was just her instinctive reaction, but I was still scared, just a quick glance, and hurriedly walked away.
At this moment, I looked at the snow-white wolfdog in front of me, even if it was squatting, it was comparable to the size of an adult at that time.
"Wangwang, hey, man, don't do this, I don't want to grab food, you eat obediently, let's go out for a walk, you eat obediently." ”
Then my head was tilted, I didn't care about shouting, standing without being scared at all, and even like a nobody, Mei Xiya, I went out by myself.
"Ah, scared to death, this dog looks beautiful, why is it so fierce, yes, why did it only stare at me and not look at you just now?"
"Can it see me?"
"Oh, too, dogs can't see ghosts, hey, scared to death, it's so strange in this place, how can there be a big wolf dog?"
At this moment, looking at the calm lake under the stone fence, my heart was beating non-stop, fortunately the dog did not attack me just now, otherwise I would have been disfigured or buried in the dog's mouth.
The water is also amazing, although it is not much cleaner than the water in the pond in front of it, and the blue aquatic plants are all over the lake, but it is probably a dead lake, and there are no fish or other plankton in it. There is no inlet or outlet, just a pool of stagnant water.
"Why don't you look into another room? ”
I shut up, but the snow-white dog inside rushed out and bit the corner of my skirt, pulled and ran to the corridor behind us.
"Ahh ”
I ran as fast as the dog ran, and Mei Xiya just smiled and didn't speak, just floating behind me not far away. The dog was so spiritual that he dragged me to the door of the more remote room, stopped, and stretched out a front paw to push the door open, but he did not let go, and bit my skirt.
"What kind of place is this, dark and opaque?"
When I went in, the smell of dust was strong, and as soon as I entered, I was greeted by a spider web that was applied to my face very accurately, and I closed my eyes, closed my mouth, and whined.
The dog also stopped, barking non-stop, and I had no choice but to open my eyes and see what the dog was up to.
But the dazzling light in front of me pierced my eyes as if they had been pricked by a needle suddenly, this time I slowly opened my eyes, but the gap was not large, and even blindfolded my eyes with my fingers, through the narrow gap between my fingers, I saw a dark yellow gem emitting its light, like the sun, so that people could not look directly at its light.
"This is the Sunstone. ”
"Ah, the Sun Stone really looks like the sun, and its light is like the sun, so that people can't look at it directly. ”
"That's right, it's the Sunstone, and it's been attached to a helmet. ”
"Helmet, general's helmet, soldier's helmet?"
"Look at the specifications should be the general's helmet, you look at this dog, not only can it look directly, but you see it looks at this helmet, so good, this helmet should be its owner. ”
"Really, hahaha, its expression is so funny, now it has no attack power at all, and it looks harmless to humans and animals. ”
This dog should like its owner very much, and its owner also dotes on it, otherwise it is difficult to see the dog who continues to stay after the owner dies for an unknown amount of time.
I took off my little coat and walked over to cover the helmet, picked it up and walked out, and Mexia and the dog came out.
I just saw a rough picture inside, and the light of the sun stone was dazzling, and now it covered the sun stone, so I could take a closer look at this helmet.
Made of gold, a dark yellow sunstone set in the middle, extremely powerful. I wonder what kind of person deserves such a beautiful helmet.
But the dog whimpered suddenly, and I didn't know that I thought it was crying, but I had tasted its ferocity, and how could it whimper inexplicably. Kneeling on all fours, his whole body prostrate on the planked cloister.
"Hey, what's wrong with it?"
"I don't know, maybe I miss my master. ”
"Huh, is that amazing?"
"Well, I just probed and found that it could see me, but I don't know how, it didn't have any sense of alarm against me, that is, it was pretending not to see me. ”
"Huh?"
"Don't pay attention to this dog, but you have to take the sunstone in your arms. ”
Mei Xiya knows the origin of the sun stone, as well as the efficacy, naturally will not easily let go of this opportunity, but I don't think so, this helmet is obviously a general with remarkable military achievements, and also raised such a loyal dog, to be honest, I sincerely admire him, although because of the different times of life, I have not been able to meet, but I still have compassion, I don't want to destroy anything in this house, and I don't want to take away the sun stone on this helmet.
It coexists in symbiosis with this helmet, and if I take it off and do something else, then this helmet will cease to exist, and the protection of the white dog will be meaningless.
I lowered my head and looked at the helmet in my arms, there was an inexplicable emotion in my heart, I can't say, this feeling is very subtle, maybe it is born of my delicate mind as a woman, but I feel more that the surge that suddenly erupted in my heart.
"What are you thinking? ”
"It's nothing, it's just a little emotional, you see, the hero has fallen, but his things can still be preserved, it's really surprising. ”
"Don't be surprised, the dog ran away, do you want to chase it?"
"Chase, go. ”
Looking at its tail wagging to the left, it shows that it is happy now. As for what to be happy about, we'll find out if we follow along.
Running through this corridor, we went outside, I looked around, but I couldn't find the white dog, this is a willow forest, after coming here, I found that there is a lot of water here, and naturally there are a lot of willow trees.
There was a river running down horizontally, and I could hear the sound of dogs barking as I listened to the sound of the river rushing and the sound of the stones pounding.
Following the past, I saw the figure of the white dog in the rockery over there, behind the rockery is a pavilion, I looked at it from a distance, there seemed to be someone in it, and I was a little happy in my heart, and I looked at the clothes and hair accessories of those people, and it was really the three of them.
"Hey, come here, I've found the dog, and I seem to see them, come here." ”
Mei Xiya and I divided into two ways, looking for the dog, she went down the river, I went up along the river, but I didn't expect to let me find it.
Mei Xiya quickly floated over, we walked across the bridge, trotted in the direction of the pavilion, getting closer and closer, the faces of those people became clearer and clearer, sure enough, it was the senior brother and them, I ran faster, and ran over.
