Chapter 22: Houtu

As my blood dripped down, everyone turned their attention to the dragon pen infected with my blood, wanting to know what was so magical about this legendary treasure.

This dragon pen is worthy of the legendary treasure, as my blood infected the pen head, I saw that the pen body suddenly appeared a layer of faint light, soft but not dazzling, at the same time carved on the pen body of the dragon seems to come to life, it seems more mysterious and ethereal.

Putting the finishing touches on the statue is already the last way we can think of, and there is no chance to hesitate at this point, I set my eyes on everyone, and after seeing their affirmative eyes, I resolutely walked to the statue of Zhurong in the hall.

Since this Zhu Rong statue is a little tall, and the height of a normal person is difficult to reach, Shen Lang walked up to me, consciously squatted on the ground, and motioned for me to step on his shoulder for eyesight.

It's rare for him to have such kindness, so I was no longer polite, stepped on his shoulders, stood up straight with a force under my feet, and then held the towering and immobile Zhu Rong statue with one hand, and held a dragon pen in the other hand, and began to put the finishing touches on the Zhu Rong statue in front of me.

Although I don't have any talent for painting, but the outline of the eye socket already exists, and all I have to do is simply paint the eyes, which naturally does not require much exquisite painting.

However, I don't know if it's my illusion, the moment the dragon brush touches Zhu Rongxiang's eyes, my hand seems to naturally know how to write.

Or rather, at that moment, the dragon pen had its own intellect, and it led my hand to spontaneously begin to trace the eyes of the idol.

The process of finishing the finishing was smoother than I imagined, and after the finishing touching, I leaned back slightly, and then looked at the Zhurong statue in front of me seriously, and found that there were indeed some changes.

Although we say that it is a god statue, but in the final analysis, it is just an ordinary statue of mortal clay sculpture, but after the finishing touch, this Zhu Rong statue has become an abnormal expressiveness, in addition to the original simple majesty, vaguely let me feel a little divinity, which makes people even more afraid to look at it directly.

I looked at the statue of Zhu Rong in front of me again and again, and after making sure that there was nothing else missing, I took the dragon pen and left Shen Lang's shoulder, and fixed my body under the careful support of Yi He.

We were wondering why we didn't see any reaction after the eye-catching, and we heard the delicate Xue Nan have a serious expression and stretched out his hand to signal us to silence.

"Don't make a noise, listen, is there any sound?"

After Xue Nan spoke, we all stopped our movements, and one by one pricked up our ears to try to hear the voice from her mouth.

Sure enough, what Xue Nan said was not bad, as soon as we fell into silence, we heard a small sound of machine springs from the middle of this floor.

This sound sounded like a chain reaction of a long series of mechanisms, long and dull but not harsh, if it weren't for Xue Nan's careful heart, we wouldn't have noticed this sound at all, according to the source of the sound, the preliminary guess is that this sound should have come from the ground.

After hearing this voice, we were not surprised, and after looking at each other, we found that each other's eyes were full of excitement.

If, after the finishing touches, we still don't see any reaction, it only proves that we are looking in the wrong direction.

And the sound that is coming now, although it sounds strange in the empty hall, means that our efforts have not been in vain.

This means that after the finishing touch, our actions have touched certain mechanisms.

And this mechanism may be the key to leading us to the hall that should have been in the middle, but now it has mysteriously disappeared.

Seeing that we had a harvest, we were refreshed, and then, we did the same, clenched the dragon pen in our hands, and went to the statue of the god in the general chapter hall and the statue of the god in the Qingyang hall to put the finishing touches on it.

The finishing touches on these two statues were also very smooth, and each of them seemed to have a hint of divinity after I painted my eyes, which made people can't help but feel admiration.

After all the statues in the three halls were finished, we did not stop and went straight to the last hall, the Xuantang Hall.

Looking at the Xuantang Hall in front of us, our hearts were surging, this is the last hall, and the Xuanming statue in the hall may be the last mechanism we have to face on this first floor.

As I drew my eyes on the Xuanming statue in front of me with a dragon pen in my hand, I only heard a sound like the first three halls, perhaps the quantitative change caused the qualitative change, after the four statues were all lit, the sound of the machine spring turning seemed to be getting louder and louder, and it was no longer as low as before.

We hurriedly walked out of the Xuantang Palace, looking far away in the direction from which the sound came, and when we were looking forward to it, the long sound seemed to reach the extreme, and after a short pause, we only heard a loud sound in the middle of the Taishu Palace.

Bang!

I saw dust in the center, and this huge sound resounded throughout the entire Vientiane Shrine.

We looked at each other, and the excitement in our eyes was palpable.

Although we don't know what happened, we know that this effort has not been in vain, and the hidden mechanism of the first layer has been successfully cracked by us.

We didn't know how, so we didn't rush over, but looked in the direction from which the sound came by the light of the fire in the trench.

After the dust cleared, we found that in the very center of this level, the originally empty ground was slowly separated from the middle.

When the ground parted, what appeared before us was not the fifth temple as we had guessed, but a huge and majestic statue that made people feel awe.

Seeing the appearance of the idol, we couldn't help the excitement in our hearts, and one by one the wind was blowing under our feet, and we soon rushed to the place where the new idol appeared.

The style of this new idol is very different from the previous ones, and the carving is much more delicate in comparison, which shows that the person who carved the statue put more effort into it.

Judging by its appearance, the idol has a human body but a snake-like tail behind it, seven hands on its back, two hands on its chest, and a serpent on its chest.

It seems that our guess is correct, and the idol that appears in the middle is the Houtu!

Houtu, also known as Houtu, the full name of Chengtian imitates Houde Guangda Houtu Emperor Land, this deity comes from the land and female worship in the nature worship of the matriarchal society, and is ranked among the four and six royal gods of Taoism, and is respected as the mother of the earth.

According to legend, she was the earliest king of the earth, holding yin and yang to nurture all things, and later cooperated with the Jade Emperor who presided over the heavenly realm, and was the female god who dominated the earth, mountains and rivers.

At the same time, Houtu is the earliest lord of the underworld in myths and legends! Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Guanshan Chronicle Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
