Although the two explanations in Yi He and Ling Xuan's mouths corresponded to these two strange statues respectively, I couldn't help but secretly glance at Juekong from the corner of my eye, trying to tell from his expressions whether the two of them had found the right one.

However, my gaze did not hide from Juekong, but after he noticed my gaze, he did not turn a blind eye, but nodded slightly to me.

I don't know if Juekong wanted to give me a hint, or if he felt that this was not an important thing in the first place, in short, after Juekong's point, I knew in my heart that there was nothing wrong with Yi He and Ling Xuan's discovery, and what they mentioned in their mouths was the true identity of this statue.

That being the case, then it's time for us to move on to the next problem.

Although we already know the true identity of these two statues, we still don't know anything about the meaning of these two statues' presence here, and only by knowing the true meaning of the statues placed here can we perfectly crack the mechanism here.

Since we all proudly knew the names of these two statues from the mouths of Yi He and Ling Xuan, the two of them naturally had a much better understanding of these statues than us, so I looked at them and asked the common question in everyone's hearts.

"Chun Ting, Ling Xuan, is there any other story about the two gods and water monsters you mentioned?"

"The mountains are out of Xiaoyang, the water is like a reckless elephant, the wood is born in the square, and the well is born in the grave."

It seemed that he knew that I would have this question sooner or later, so after hearing my question, the two of them had the same expressions as usual, and after looking at each other, they decided that Ling Xuan would explain to me first.

"The elephant, also known as the elephant, is a kind of water monster in Chinese legends, and some people say that it is a monster of wood and stone, but compared with these two, the elephant is more famous for his unique preference."

"According to the records of Zhou Li, although the dragon elephant comes out of the water, but it will not be in the water for a long time, this thing prefers to enter the tomb, especially like to eat the liver and brain of the dead, so the people of the time regard it as an evil demon, and everyone is afraid."

After listening to Ling Xuan's explanation, we were even more puzzled in our minds, and we couldn't figure out what the significance of this legendary dragon elephant was here, so we could only look at Yi He, hoping that his explanation would make our eyes shine.

"Fang Xiang's clan is different from the dragon elephant, not only is it not a mountain spirit and wild monster, but a god who specializes in the dragon elephant."

Perhaps it was because he knew the extreme confusion in our hearts, so as soon as Ling Xuan's words fell, Yi He spoke synchronously.

"Fang Xiang's family was originally a god of Chinese folk belief in driving away epidemics and avoiding evil spirits, and there was also a corresponding official position with the same name in the Zhou ceremony, and it was rumored that he was dressed in bear skin, with a mask made of gold engraved on his face, black clothes and red pants, holding a gun in one hand and raising a shield in the other, to drive out epidemics for the country."

"And because the elephant likes to eat the liver and brain of the dead, when it comes to the funeral, Fang Xiang's duty is no longer to drive away the epidemic, but to drive away the beast of the tomb of the elephant to protect the peace of the dead, that is, whether it is in love or reason, these two should not be carved here together."

Hearing this, combined with our peculiar feelings, I suddenly realized that although this is the way of the Yin Soldier, everything we have seen so far actually looks more like a mausoleum.

The dark black staircase we walked through before can be understood as another form of Shinto, and the Fang Xiang clan we see now is actually the tomb beast used to protect the peace of the dead in the mausoleum.

That is to say, Fang Xiang's clan is a tomb beast, so his statue should exist here, and since this is the case, should we look for clues in his body?

The so-called tomb beast is a kind of monster commonly found in Chinese tombs, and its original purpose was to suppress ghosts and protect the souls of the deceased from intrusion.

As Ling Xuan said, the legend says that the elephant likes to eat the liver and brain of the dead, and it is because of this legend that the ancients were worried that their liver and brain would be eaten by them after death, so they would leave a stone sculpture of Fang Xiang's clan in the tomb to restrain the elephant and ensure that they would not be disturbed by it after death.

Thinking of this, we didn't hesitate any longer, and with the faint light of the fire coming from the Spring Pavilion, we walked quickly to the statue of Fang Xiang's family, and carefully observed it from top to bottom, trying to find out where there might be a mystery in it.

But after a long time, everyone reluctantly gave up this idea.

There is no doubt that after careful inspection, we can confirm that this statue is indeed the same as the one described in Yi He's mouth, and it is the statue of Fang Xiangshi used for the town tomb.

But beyond that, we found that there was nothing different from the rumors anywhere, and in this case, there was no way for us to find out the mystery of the mechanism hidden in it.

And at this time, perhaps because he saw our lost appearance and knew that we were really clueless, Juekong couldn't help coughing lightly, and then slowly spoke, saying to us with a mysterious and profound meaning.

"Fellow donors, instead of exploring what should exist here, you should change your perspective and think about what shouldn't exist here, and maybe there will be other gains."

We knew that Juekong already knew the mystery of this mechanism, and it was obvious that his words would never be empty words, and there must be hints he wanted to give us.

If our guess is correct, the shape here is a mausoleum, and the Fang Xiang clan should indeed exist here, using its tomb to protect the peace of the dead.

And since the existence of Fang Xiang's clan is to restrain the elephant, the stone sculpture of the elephant on the left should definitely not exist here, this is really a superfluous move, and it does not make any sense.

Could it be that the real mystery of the mechanism here lies in this extra stone carving?

Thinking of this, we cheered up again and walked quickly to the stone sculpture of the dragon elephant on the left, and took a serious look at it.

However, the results were still unsatisfactory.

The shape of this statue is still exactly the same as what Ling Xuan said, not bad at all, we can't find any direction to start, and without prompting, there is really no way.

Shen Lang was impatient, and after seeing everyone's frustrated expressions, he knew that there was nothing they could do about each other, so he couldn't help but reach out and hit the stone sculpture in front of him fiercely, and at the same time glanced at Juekong with the corner of his eye, and complained in his mouth.

"What a broken statue, what a broken mechanism!"

And the moment his hand hit the stone carving, his voice suddenly changed, and he shouted at us with great excitement.

"Brother Chuan, Master, look, there is indeed something wrong with this stone sculpture!"
