Chapter 660: The Holy Temple
After chatting about the Dragon King Festival, the conversation between several people came to an end for the time being.
After learning that the so-called Dragon King Sacrifice might need to cost the life of a living girl, the young Pinluo was already full of anxiety and apprehension, and he was also extremely resistant to the Yulun Realm.
It's a pity that he has already arrived, and he can't find his way back, and the way back is full of dangers, if there is no guide, you can imagine what will happen to him.
At this moment, he was like a frosty eggplant, lost his interest in talking, and the whole person was worried.
Compared with his heavy face, Song Qingxiao seemed much calmer, she didn't take the matter of the Dragon King Sacrifice to heart, and even didn't seem to care at all about whether Uncle Xiang led her to the Yulun Void Realm to treat her as a candidate for the sacrifice.
After a moment of silence, Chu Rong began to introduce the scenery and food in the Yulun Realm.
It is also strange to say, although this person looks to be forty or fifty years old, but because he has been trapped in the Yulun Realm all the year round, Uncle Xiang's words, this clan lives in seclusion, and even the basic living materials need to be sent by others, so they should have limited knowledge.
But he has a lot of knowledge, and he has some customs and habits in ancient times, such as extremely rich knowledge reserves.
It is particularly surprising that he knows all the ancient texts, poems, and even things that have long been lost, and sometimes quotes them casually.
Even if the young man was panicked and worried, he didn't say much, Song Qingxiao didn't talk much, more often than not, he listened to the situation, and his simple explanation alone did not make the scene cold, which is especially rare.
But as Chu Rong said, the place of the Yulun Void Realm is not big, and a few people talked while walking, and it didn't take long to finish the entire Yulun Void Realm.
In the Yulun Void Realm, there are layers of high mountains on both sides, and there is no grass on the mountains, and the clouds and mist are shrouded, like a giant sword inserted into the zenith.
A pool of clear spring water resembles a pale green jade, embedded in the middle of the mountain.
In the middle of the lake is the land, and the ground is flat and the houses are distributed on it.
Most of these houses are made of wood, and they are clearly arranged, like a checkerboard, from the outside to the inside, layered on top of each other, in the left, right, and back directions, and converge in the middle.
The outer houses are more ordinary, like a shell, enclosing and protecting the houses inside.
Outside the house, two peach and willow trees are planted, and it seems to be in the season of peach blossoms in the Yulun Void at this time, and there is a fragrance from time to time.
Chu Rong led the two out of the corridor and walked in the direction of the house, where the roads were clear, and they were all paved with jade white pebbles about the size of a palm, which looked delicate and elegant, and did not get dirty.
After entering the residential area, Song Qing felt the aura appear all around, and several visiting eyes fell on her and Pinluo.
Through the gap between the two peach trees that are blooming, you can vaguely see that many people are turning their heads to peep, with a look of surprise.
"We usually have very few people here, so once outsiders arrive, everyone will be very curious to watch, and I hope Miss Song doesn't mind."
Pinluo was uncomfortable, Chu Rong smiled and explained, a dark light flashed in Song Qing's small eyes, and he nodded to show understanding.
"Let's all come out and say hello, this is a distinguished guest welcomed by Lord Yichang!"
Chu Rong shouted loudly, as soon as he mentioned a few keywords such as 'Lord Yichang, distinguished guest', sure enough, someone on both sides of the house opened the door, and the people living inside came out and saluted Song Qingxiao and Pinluo from a distance.
There are men and women among these people, and they are all dressed in the same way as Yichang, Chu Rong and others, all of whom are dark blue cross-collared wide-sleeved clothes on the upper body, and the lower body is wrapped in layers of long skirts with embroidered edges.
Being watched by these similarly dressed people made Pinluo feel creepy, and he regretted that he shouldn't have come to the Nine Dragon Caves, and subconsciously squeezed Song Qingxiao's side.
Chu Rong seemed to see that Pinluo was not very comfortable, and after letting these people come out to say hello, he waved his hand to signal them to leave.
"The houses here seem to be more refined the further you go in."
Song Qingxiao found a topic to speak, and Chu Rong tidied up his cuffs, and said with a smile:
"Miss Song found out, it's really a good eyesight."
He complimented him twice, and then explained good-naturedly:
"The outermost people live just ordinary clansmen, and here we believe in clan rights and have clear hierarchies." He didn't seem to be flustered by anything, and he spoke bluntly about any problems with Song Qingxiao, and he didn't even shy away from saying that there was a clear class here.
Uncle Xiang travels back and forth here all the year round, and Chu Rong and others must have an understanding of the situation in the outside world, but the people here don't think so, as if they have dealt with Uncle Xiang for many years, not only have they not been infected by the outside world, but they have changed Uncle Xiang's concept and are willing to prostrate in front of Yichang.
After entering from the outer buildings, the size of the houses inside is obviously larger than the outer circle, and the houses are separated by a ring road, and the order is the same.
Seeing Chu Rong personally leading the way, people came out one after another to greet Song Qingxiao and Pin Luo, and after Chu Rong signaled, he quickly retreated into the house.
"Miss Song, look."
Chu Rong led the two of them for a long time and stretched out his hand.
Song Qingxiao looked in the direction of his finger and saw a house.
The house was a vast area, with pavilions and pavilions, and it was extraordinarily beautiful.
The roof has a flying owl tail, which has a tendency to soar into the sky, highlighting the domineering and unique nature of the house.
In the courtyard, rockery and flowing water are introduced, flowers and grass are planted, and it is extremely leisurely.
"This is the residence of Lord Yichang." When Chu Rong mentioned Yichang, he was very respectful.
But Song Qingxiao's eyes were not on this house, and her attention fell on the other side opposite Yichang's house.
There is a domed building there, which is incomparably large, built by the mountains and rivers, about 30 meters high, in a pile of low houses, like standing out from the crowd, the momentum is extraordinary.
If it is said that the house that Song Qingxiao saw all the way before, as a whole, is like a '凵' character, then this huge building located in the center and covering a wide area is like a cross-section of the '凵' character seal, making the overall building of Yulun Fantasy Realm present a complete 'mouth' shape.
This dome is like a tall tower layer, and a groove is densely dug between each floor, and the groove is connected with each other, and the groove size of each layer is average, but the higher it goes, the fewer the number of grooves, and from a distance, it looks like a huge beehive.
"What's that?"
Song Qing glanced at this extremely strange huge building and couldn't help asking.
Chu Rong, who had been talking all the time, heard her ask like this, his brows furrowed, revealing a hint of embarrassment.
He didn't even shy away from the secret of the Dragon King Sacrifice, and he said it bluntly, but at this time, when Song Qingxiao asked about the origin of this building, he was silent for a long time, as if he didn't know how to answer.
After about ten seconds, he seemed to have sorted out the answer in his heart, and said calmly:
"This is our holy place."
When Pinro heard him say this, he also looked up at the building.
It is also very strange to say, this place seems to be laid-back, and the architectural style is mostly leisurely, comfortable and natural, and the people here entertain themselves and have their own school, beyond the world.
However, this building looks strange and abrupt, and it feels out of place with the surrounding houses, and the exterior of the cave is like a beehive, which makes people feel oppressive and uneasy.
"Can you go in and have a look?" Song Qingxiao heard him say that it was a holy land, so he couldn't help but ask.
As soon as Pinluo heard her words, his face suddenly showed a trace of uneasiness, and he subconsciously reached out to pull Song Qingxiao's sleeve, signaling her not to ask this question.
He tugged on Song Qingxiao's sleeve and shook it twice, wanting to say something, but because his first appearance was still there, he couldn't say it clearly, he just hoped that the girl in front of him could understand his hint and not go inside.
The young people have a hunch that there may not be a good existence inside, and the people here are mysterious and eccentric, and there are some cruel and dangerous customs.
In his opinion, it is best for everyone to get together honestly in the past two days, not to run around at will, and wait until his companion's injury is healed, and then leave with Uncle Xiang immediately, and then he will never enter this place again for the rest of his life.
"Go in?" Chu Rong was stunned for a moment when he heard her request, and a trace of unhappiness flashed in his eyes, as if he was offended by Song Qingxiao's words.
But after a while, this unhappiness was fleeting, and he returned to his previous look: "It stands to reason that you can't enter the temple on weekdays, but you are a distinguished guest, and when it comes to special seasons, I can take you inside." ”
After he said this, he straightened his clothes, and straightened two black ribbons that hung down on his chest:
"We don't have a big place here, almost all of them have already taken Miss Song around, it's not early, why don't I take the two of you to the accommodation place to take a look, what does Miss Song think?"
Pinluo's tense heartstrings couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that he didn't need to enter the holy temple at this time.
The more he looked at the strange temple, the more uneasy he felt, and it was a good thing not to go in at this time.
As for Chu Rong saying that he could bring people in during the special season, when he said that in the special season, they had already left the Yulun Realm and might not come back for the rest of their lives, so who would care about these at that time?
As soon as the big stone in his heart was relieved, he heard Chu Rong say that he would take the two of them to a temporary residence first, and he couldn't help but smile, and before Song Qing could speak, he nodded first:
"Okay, okay, okay, you take us there."
Hatsurong pursed the corners of his lips and smiled, then made a 'please' gesture and leaned sideways to the side.
"Because the place is small, and we usually don't have outsiders here as guests, so there is no additional house for guests to live in, and we may have to wronged Miss Song to live in one of our clansmen temporarily." He roughly explained, with an apologetic look on his face:
"But don't worry, the places selected for you are clean and elegant, and the population is very simple, if there is something that doesn't suit your heart, you can bring it up when you arrive, and we will change it."
