Chapter Seventy-Eight: Heavenly Fox Temple (2)

After Chen Zhi finished speaking, the cat bent on his waist and tiptoed towards the altar. The hall on the second floor is a wooden structure as a whole, with brackets at both ends, suspended in mid-air. After thousands of years of corrosion, it is no longer strong. When Chen Zhi walked on it, the entire hall kept shaking slightly, and there was a creaking sound on the floor.

The altar on the second floor is very gorgeous, the table top is a piece of white marble carved neatly, surrounded by a white marble railing, which is now covered with stains, no longer white and smooth. On the pillar of the railing, there are fox statues of different shapes, which are very similar to the one in the ancestral hall of the fox village. Some squatted, some lying, all with their mouths wide open, revealing their sharp teeth, scaring the living.

Chen Zhi and a few people walked to the altar and saw that the tablet placed on the altar was even bigger than the distance from afar, and it was more than one person high.

The tablet is carved from wood, finely carved, with golden pattern craftsmanship on it, old, golden and dim, but you can imagine that it used to be glittering with gold.

"You look at the bird text written on this tablet, do you know it?" Fat Wei asked Chen Zhidao, and his hand was not idle to pull things into his bag.

Chen Zhi took a look, and the huge tablet was written in ancient Qin style, which was the font on the section of "Fengshen Zha" that Leopard Ye took out. Since the last time he saw "Fengshen Za", Chen Zhi has done some research on the ancient Qin style, and he can recognize the general ancient Qin characters. What is written on this tablet is, "The son-in-law of my lord Xuanhu Jun has Su Bai Qian's god throne." Next to it, it was written in a brat, "Slave Wan Shi Gong Sacrifice".

Chen Zhi read the words on the tablet softly to everyone. Then he said, "There is no doubt that what is enshrined in this temple is Bai Qian, it seems that we have found the right place." Chen Zhi glanced at the small words on the tablet again and said, "This tablet should have been erected by her slave, the question is who is the divine slave who worships her?" Is Bai Qian alive or dead now, and where are her remains buried? ”

At this time, Fat Wei approached the altar, he walked around the ground in front of the altar several times, and said to everyone, "Or my eyes are sharp, you come and see, is there a carved word here?" ”

Chen Zhi and several people walked over when they heard the sound, and looked at the bottom of the altar, it turned out that there was a white marble slab there, Chen Zhi had seen this kind of stone slab, before the Han Dynasty, the ancients used to put a stone slab under the altar when worshiping gods or ancestors, which was used for kneeling and worshipping. It is often engraved with the name of the sacrificer, such as "so-and-so, worship the ancestor on the top" and other words to show loyalty and filial piety.

Chen Zhi gently wiped the dust on the slate with his hand, and carefully identified it, the slate was also engraved in ancient Qin style, but the carving was very shallow, and it was already grinding to the point that it could not be seen clearly.

"This should be written by Bai Qian's divine slave, written to his descendants," Chen Zhi looked at and said.

Fat Wei was anxious, "What the hell is written on it?" Hurry up and read it, don't sell it. ”

Chen Zhi carefully read the words on the stone platform and read, "The descendants of my Hulu clan listen to the training, my Hulu clan is the generation of domestic slaves of the Tianhu God and the Su clan. The temple is in the east of the shrine of Su Baiqian, and you need to worship from generation to generation, the incense will last forever, and you will be buried after death, and you will be guilty of a big crime. ”

The fat and majestic one choked and said, "Big orange, show that you are educated, right?" Please speak human language, don't speak bird language, Lao Tzu has a low culture and can't understand it. ”

Chen Zhi pressed the fire and translated to him softly: "It was a long time ago, there was a person named Hu Qian, he was Bai Qian's servant, his scientific name was Shennu, this Hu Lu clan built this temple in the east of Bai Qian's tomb, in order to let his descendants continue to worship Bai Qian, and the incense will last forever." He also told his children and grandchildren to go to Bai Qian's tomb to be buried after death, and there must be no mistake. You get the idea, don't you? ”

Fat Wei suddenly realized, "Hey, damn it, isn't this a pervert in my heart?" went to be a slave for others, but after he died, he didn't do enough, and forced his children and grandchildren to be slaves, and he was also buried with him. Depend on! It's a shame to have such an ancestor. Fat Wei scolded.

Chen Zhi glanced at him helplessly, and continued, "Now that the ins and outs of the matter are clear, it seems that the living fox in the fox village is not Bai Qian's bloodline, but Bai Qian's divine slave, the descendant of the Hu Lu clan, with the changes of the times, the Hu Lu clan later changed its surname to the Hu family."

Thousands of years ago, Bai Qian may have really come here and lived here. But for some reason, she left. But he didn't take away his gods, and his godslaves stayed here, multiplied, and worshipped Bai Qian's former residence temple for generations. After a long time, it left behind the blood of the fox fairy and the legend of the living fox. ”

"So, the old lady in the village is a living fox, not the blood of the immortals, so how can she live forever?" Fat Wei asked.

"That's what I'm questioning," Chen Zhi said, "and it's clearly written on this stone platform, you need to be worshiped from generation to generation, the incense will last forever, and you will be buried after death." That is to say, this slave named Hu Lu Slave is not an immortal god, he will die normally like ordinary humans. That living fox can live for so many years, it's very problematic. Chen Zhi said.

"Oops! Whatever! Let's hurry up and bring the lighter and find the exit first. Whoever is a real fox or a fake fox", Fat Wei said and began to pry off the gem carvings on the altar with a knife, Fat Wei received a lot of goods along the way, it turned out that he had brought a large woven bag with him, and now from the sacrificial array here, he has picked up a big bag, all of which are gold and jade vessels, if Fat Wei goes out this time, it is estimated that he will be able to immediately become wealthy.

"Don't be stunned, help pry these things, get out and have your share," Fat Wei shouted, opening the wooden lattice under the altar and getting in.

"Oh my mother!" Fat Wei shouted, got out of the wooden lattice, and shouted, "Come on, there's still a fresh one here." ”

Chen Zhi and the others hurriedly ran over to take a look, and it turned out that in the wooden lattice under the altar, there was a female corpse, which should have just died, and her eyes were not cloudy. Even if the corpse's face turned to ashes, Chen Zhi could recognize that it was Mai Sui'er.

It was true that lying there was the corpse of Mai Ear, a corpse that resembled a human to be exact. The skin of the corpse was dried, wrinkled, and loosely piled up, like the skin of a centenarian. The joints of the corpse's limbs had been twisted off and flipped in the opposite direction, and the fingers and toes had been cut off, and the scars on them were old. Such corpses are piled up there like dead demons, and it makes people feel chills in their hearts.

"This is probably the secret of the immortality of the living fox," Chen Zhi said as he looked at Fat Wei. In his surprised eyes, all the truth was slowly revealed.
