We walked to the bottom of the temple, only to see that the temple is more than ten zhang high, the bottom of the temple is square, there are nine floors in total, gradually reduced, all of them are made of large stones, surrounded by four rising stone stairs, the top floor is a two-story high stone chamber.

In front of the temple was a small square, and in front of the square stood a tall bronze statue, exactly like the one we found in the river with a strange head and a pair of bird's feet, even looking at the sky with a strange smile.

It's just that this idol does not hold Quetzalcoatl, but holds a staff-like thing in his left hand and touches his chest with his right hand.

Lin Xia only knew that the winged snake was the feathered serpent god called "Kukulkan", but he didn't know the origin of this monster-like thing. I walked around the statue twice, and was silent, not knowing what I was thinking.

On Tuesday, Mao was not interested in the statue at all, so he called the white dragon and went straight to the steps of the temple.

I shouted to him from behind: "Ermao, be careful with your baby, the monkey is in a hurry, be careful that there is a mechanism on it!" ”

Mao Haha laughed on Tuesday: "Sooner or later, you all have to come up, you Chen Erwa pretend to be a hammer!" ”

By the time we got back to it, Mao was already on top of the temple on Tuesday.

"This one is too high, how can there be such a tower!" Chen Erwa kicked at the door and exclaimed loudly.

After a while, Tuesday Mao shouted excitedly on the top: "Erwa, come up, there is a sarcophagus on it." ”

As soon as we heard this, our curiosity sparked. They didn't look at the statues, but walked to the temple.

I thought to myself: This burial method is a bit special, how to put a coffin on the top of the tower?

By the time we went up to the stone room, Tuesday Mao couldn't wait, and said, "What's going on, it's a little strange!" ”

I saw that there were a large number of strange patterns and symbols carved around the stone chamber, and there was a large sarcophagus in the middle of the stone chamber, which looked like something we had never seen before.

The lid of the sarcophagus is carved with a bizarre pattern.

Lin Xiazai carefully looked at the cover plate on the sarcophagus, pointed to the picture and said: "I have seen this picture, it is called the Three Realms Map, it is the Maya's understanding of this world, you see above, the upper realm is the trajectory of the sun and stars, and it is the place where the gods and spirits move." The will of the gods and various oracles are reflected in the changes in the movement of the stars in the upper realm, and the Milky Way is the world tree in the sky. This galaxy is the path taken by the deceased after leaving the Middle Realm.

The middle is the human world, the center of the human world is the central axis of the universe, and the middle world where human beings live and live is composed of four directions and centers of east, west, east and south.

And like the Upper Realm, the Lower Realm is also a place with supernatural powers, that is, Hell, with a total of nine levels, which is why we come up with nine steps. ”

We hear as if we don't understand. On Tuesday, Mao couldn't wait for Lin Xia to continue to explain. The sapper shovel was violently inserted into the crack of the stone, and said: "I didn't expect to get a foreign meat dumpling in this life, it seems that I am going to make a fortune this time!" ”

Lin Xia shook his head speechlessly, and instructed a few team members to help Tuesday Mao pry the sarcophagus.

I looked at the top of the stone room curiously, and said in surprise: "Lin Xia, look at it!" ”

Lin Xia looked up, only to see that it was densely engraved with various dots and lines, and asked a little curiously, "What is this?" It feels like some kind of symbol. ”

I said, "It's an astrological chart, it's the same thing we learned, and it feels many times more complicated than we know." ”

Lin Xia suddenly realized: "The Mayans are proficient in astronomy and arithmetic. That's true. ”

I took out my compass and compared it with the astrological chart and the position of the sarcophagus, and wondered: "Their placement is extremely strange, the head of the sarcophagus is against Sirius, and the light of Sirius passes through the air flow channel on the south wall and hits the head of the deceased; This Sirius is also a star of main aggression and killing, and in the southeast of Sirius, there are nine stars of arc arrows, of which eight stars are like bow arcs, and the outer star is like arrows, so it is called arc arrows. Seeing Sirius, the nine stars of the arc unfolded, it was the time when there was war on the frontier. Therefore, it is recorded in "The Legend of the Emperor", "If the sky is bowed, the sword will rise." ”

Lin Xia said: "Every nation has its own worldview, maybe the beliefs of the Mayans are not quite the same as our Orientals." ”

Lin Xia thought for a while and said: "The person buried here must be a person with an extremely noble status, originally I was still thinking about whether it would be Qin Fourth Shiji, according to what you just said, this possibility is almost zero." ”

I smiled and said, "If Qin IV is buried in this kind of place, it will be difficult to see the ancestors and ancestors underground." ”

Over there, Mao and the others were still in full swing on Tuesday to pry the lid of the sarcophagus.

On Tuesday, Mao shouted: "This thing is dead, everyone be careful, wait for Hamo to smash the foot pole!" ”

We went up and saw that on Tuesday Mao and two other people had pried open a small crack in the lid of the sarcophagus and were inserting the pry bar.

Hearing only a muffled sound, several people finally lifted the lid of the sarcophagus.

We all gathered around the sarcophagus to see who the owner of the sarcophagus was.

In the sarcophagus was a man wearing a strange silver helmet, which did not show his face like the helmet of Chinese armor, but completely wrapped around his head, and the position of his eyes resembled the glasses of the gas mask that the Eight Immortals took out in the tomb of Bapei.

The whole body is wrapped in a ball of silk, revealing only a huge head, but judging from the position of the feet, the body looks very short.

Tuesday Mao said strangely: "Hey, Erwa, why is this person like a monkey?" Do you want to get up to the spirit? ”

I nodded, "Get up!" Look what kind of turtle thing it is! ”

Erwa commanded: "Let's do it!" Brothers, pay attention to the position of the left shoulder and right foot! ”

I wondered, "What's the left shoulder and right foot?" ”

Erwa said: "Didn't the ghost father say that good things are all in the position of the left shoulder and right foot?" ”

I said, "This is a foreign coffin, and it is estimated that it is not the same as the Chinese burial method." ”

Erwa picked her hair, and said with a smile: "Yes! Then don't forget about that! ”

Regardless of the set of Tuesday Mao, he stepped forward directly to clean up the Ming utensils in the coffin.

In this sarcophagus, there are not many bright weapons, and when you clean it down, it is all shells and other things.

On Tuesday, Mao couldn't get enough of it, and he didn't get anything valuable gold, silver, jewelry, and jade.

On Tuesday, Mao scolded while taking it: "Build such a big temple, just give someone else this thing to bury, Ge Zhang is too JB not interesting enough." ”

Among the sarcophagus, there are indeed not many Ming utensils, and they seem to be mostly worthless things, so we can't help but be a little discouraged.

Tuesday Mao said: "Why don't you put your mask down and take a look at what this person looks like." ”

I was crouching on the ground fiddling with those oddly shaped square boxes, not noticing Tuesday Mao's movements.

responded: "Have you forgotten how the ghost father was poisoned at that time?" ”

Suddenly! In front of the sarcophagus, there was a scream from Tuesday Mao.

The people who had just gathered around Mao on Tuesday also dispersed.

Tuesday Mao pointed to the coffin in horror and said, "Ghost! Ghost! He was still holding the white hood in his hand.

Podonha, who was still on the periphery just now, had already walked over quickly, and I got up to look at the sarcophagus.

When I looked into the sarcophagus, my scalp was numb.

I saw that the sarcophagus was really not a creature like a human, because it was too old, and the muscles had completely dried up, but the strange thing was that the skin of this thing was still tightly wrapped around the monster's face like a layer of cowhide, especially his eyes, which were sunken in the huge eye sockets, and the mouth was only visible because of the contraction of the skin, and only four huge fangs could be seen, which looked very strange.

"It seems..." I said in a deep voice, "This is not a ghost, isn't this the monster on the bronze statue outside!" ”

Everyone was bold enough to surround again, and Chu Liang also said, "That's it!" Isn't this the monster holding Quetzalcoatl! It turns out that this kind of thing is not imaginary! ”

Lin Xia was also confused, and this strange creature seemed to be beyond her cognition.

I asked Lin Xia, "This... This is the Maya? ”

Lin Xia shook his head and said, "This... This is definitely not the Mayan, the Maya are the same as us, they are also human, this creature is not human at all. ”

I thought about it for a moment and walked over to the position of the monster's feet. Flip over the thick silk.

I saw a pair of dry feet shaped like chicken feet exposed.
