Chapter 16: The Temple of the Sacrifice to the Heavens
As we walked, we swept the flashlight, and suddenly saw two huge ghost and god stone sculptures standing on both sides of the passage in front of us looking at us with angry eyes, and the stone sculptures' expressions were really realistic, like real gods scolding our visit.
We hurriedly dodged against the wall, and Hua Rong and the fat man pulled the safe, the crisp sound of the bullet loading loud in the silent passage. When he got closer, he saw that the sculpture had horns on its forehead, a copper ring on its nose, and a hideous expression on several little ghosts that opened their mouths and screamed.
Hua Rong signaled for safety, we walked through carefully, I couldn't help but look back, but saw that the north side of the stone carving was also the same carving, and the fierce and vicious appearance made my hair stand on end.
The space in front of me should be huge, and the light of the flashlight obviously can't hit the edge, Captain Jin asked me to turn on the high-explosion light,
The strong LED light makes this dark area clearly visible to everyone, this is a large hall that has not yet been built.
Four huge humanoid statues were carved in the four directions of the main hall, and I adjusted the angle to see that only one of the four statues was completed, but I couldn't see the face of the statue clearly because of the angle. The other three statues are probably unfinished, only outlines and no facial features, which is extremely strange.
I looked at the direction, this statue that has been built occupies the north position, presumably this statue should be the Ziwei Arctic Emperor, "Shushan Universal Scripture" records that the function of the Ziwei Arctic Emperor is: to rule the heavens and latitudes, to lead the three realms of star gods and mountains and rivers gods, is the king of all phenomena, can call the wind and rain, and serve the thunder and lightning ghosts and gods. Emperor Ziwei was honored by the emperors of previous dynasties, such as the Forbidden City, which ordered the whole country to rule Shenzhou, which was built and named after the meaning of Emperor Ziwei being in the center.
The ground of the main hall is full of stones and some unknown statues, and some stone pillars fall to the ground for some reason and break into several sections, and the stone pillars that have not fallen can not be hugged by one person, the height of 20 meters, the pillar body carved dragon and phoenix are tall and straight.
Everyone cautiously entered the main hall, and found that the situation was worse than what they saw on the outside, and the hall was full of slashing and stabbing marks, but strangely there was nothing on the ground except corpses.
"Could it be that such a thick pillar was also blown down by the wind?"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, you see that there are also a lot of dead bones on the ground, and there are traces of fire in some places, as if there is a fierce battle with fire here!"
"Do they chop the air?"
There were many arrows on the ground, but the posture did not look like they were shooting to the ground, no matter how you looked at it, it looked like it had fallen from a height, I shot the flashlight at the top of the hall, and shouted that Xiyin used a telescope to observe, and she said that the stone wall at the top did have traces of being shot by a bow and arrow.
"Mirage?"
The fat man said that it might be a bat, but the bat would sleep at such a low temperature, but if it was disturbed, it would suddenly wake up and attack.
Everyone also thought of this key, as if the bats were waiting for an opportunity to attack in some place, and they were busy slowing down their movements and sounds.
I said, "It's not a bat, it's such a strong wind, if it's a bat, it will be blown out." ”
The fat man's expression relaxed, but suddenly became solemn again: "Is it really a mirage, this thing only exists in myths and legends." ”
"Whatever it is, let's hurry up and leave by finding the evidence of the Holy Decree!"
Before we could lift our feet, my watch rang.
This is the lightning strike warning we set up, and I deliberately set it a few seconds before them.
Two minutes after the alarm is sounded, the lightning strike time, no one knows if there will be lightning strikes in the tomb.
I shouted, "Find cover!" ”
We almost immediately dispersed to find cover, I expanded the beam of the flashlight, and quickly locked on a shelter that could accommodate me, I wanted to call Lin Xiyin, but I saw that she also found one.
When I dodged, I saw a flashlight running back and forth in the main hall, it turned out that the fat man could not find a cover suitable for his figure, I glanced at my cover, and hurriedly called the fat man to come.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm easier to find than you!"
But when I looked for it again, I didn't find any holes!
The time was approaching, Lin Xiyin shouted at me.
In a hurry, I understood what Lin Xiyin meant, and she said that I had a hole on it!
I hurriedly turned around and shot my flashlight high up, and after some searching, I finally saw a circular black hole on it.
Without thinking about it, I hurried up.
After I went up, I saw that it was a crooked stone tower, the stone tower was empty, probably carved from a whole stone, there was no splicing gap, it was carved with countless figures, I didn't have to think much about it and immediately got into it.
At this time, the temperature suddenly dropped, and I felt unusually cold, and the clothes we had specially put on when we came in could no longer withstand the cold, and I shivered from the cold. I hurriedly collected my muscles to keep my body hot, but after a few clicks, the whole temple was enveloped in mist gushing out of nowhere, and I could clearly feel the wet water particles.
For some reason, the headset didn't work, so I had to contact them with a flashlight.
Before we came in, we formulated a light signal code - it is to flash off three times to inform safety, flashlight circle is to evacuate, if it continues to flash out, it means to ask for rescue in danger. I shot my flashlight at the other side to echo the others, but I couldn't see any light.
Suddenly, I saw light, a multicolored halo to be exact, flashing in the mist!
The belly of the stone tower I was in was also surrounded by mist, and this colorful light stained my body made my hairs stand on end, and I actually felt a slight electric shock.
I hurriedly retreated again, and in the blink of an eye, the multicolored light in the mist crackled, and the brightness increased instantly! There was a continuous squeaking sound from the headset, and I couldn't bear it and hurriedly pulled it out, but as soon as I took it down, I heard a loud "click" sound, and a dazzling light wave passed in front of my eyes at a speed visible to the naked eye in the mist, and I only felt that my eardrum rattled and my head seemed to be pierced, and I was blind for a moment. My heart suddenly hurt, like I was being shocked, and my whole body stiffened, and my heart seemed to stop beating.
I remembered the comfort of Lin Xiyin and others, and after a few seconds of adaptation, I slammed a few hammers on my chest, feeling that my mind had recovered a little and hurriedly stumbled out of the stone tower's belly.
I couldn't walk normally, my body was completely awkward, and my calves were numb and weak when I jumped off the big rock, and I couldn't support it, but fortunately, my brain was still clear, and I was worried about breaking the equipment and hurriedly used my back to bear the ground.
"Bang!" After I fell, the flashlight fell and bounced to the side, and Lin Xiyin heard the sound and immediately drilled out,
"Chen Yuan!"
"Hee Yin, are you alright?"
"I'm okay fool!" She sat me on the ground with half her arms in her arms, looking anxious.
At this time, everyone had already run out to surround me, and Captain Jin felt my pulse: "The pulse is chaotic, let him lie down!" ”
He hurriedly turned on the insulation water and poured me a few sips.
The fat man asked anxiously: "Lao Jin, is he electrocuted?" ”
"The symptom is electric shock, and the electricity is not light, is there a lot of electricity on it?"
Hearing Captain Jin say this, the fat man felt indebted and hurriedly squatted down and grabbed my hand: "Old ,,, away"
I saw his fat face bent into a gourd: "I can't die, look at your bear-like appearance!" ”
Feeling my strength gradually recovering, I sat up on the ground, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that I was fine.
After drinking a few more sips of warm water, I stood up, and Lin Xiyin was afraid that I would fall, so she kept supporting me.
"Fool, you rushed down in a hurry just for my safety?"
"I was suddenly very uncomfortable on it just now, my heart stopped, and I couldn't move like I was pointed, I was afraid that you couldn't bear such a powerful power, so I rushed down to see you."
Lin Xiyin hugged me deeply, I stroked the softness of her back, and told her that I had no problem, she scolded me for being a fool, and I could only hold her tighter.
When I took the flashlight handed by the fat man, I felt that my palm seemed to be passed through by the current again, and when I pushed the switch, I found that the tactical flashlight flashed twice, I didn't care, I thought that the flashlight was knocked and short-circuited when I fell. It wasn't until later that I realized that this shock encounter had given me a special ability.
Captain Jin shouted to gather to check the body and equipment, and after a check, everyone's body was fine, but the high-explosion light was not on, and my headset still didn't work.
Hua Rong turned on the multi-dimensional tester and fiddled with it for a while without response.
I can't help but be amazed, the high-explosive light and the multi-dimensional tester are all on my back, but I have deliberately protected them when I fall, and the equipment has a good packaging shell and is unlikely to be easily broken, could it be that the strong current like the colorful pulse just now triggered the reaction of the device's battery and was damaged?
The fat man said with a solemn expression that the lithium battery of the high-explosion lamp was cracked and could no longer be used, he looked at the multi-dimensional tester again, and under his pat, the starting light of this thing turned on again.
Anyway, we have a sharp weapon that can be used, and we are a lot more steadfast in our hearts. Although the high-explosion lamp is very useful, the multi-dimensional tester can also use the radar principle to explore the unknown area. Of course, the disadvantages are obvious, it cannot display objects intuitively, and can only display the detected virtual content on the screen.
The fat man made a multidimensional scan in the direction of the Arctic crape myrtle emperor in the dark, and after a few seconds, the flat shape of the area was displayed on the screen of the multidimensional scanner. Hua Rong said that this thing is not easy to use, and if you look at the screen alone, you can't guess what the object is, and the slightly smaller object can't be displayed at all.
Captain Jin then said, "If it's not easy to use, do you throw it away?" I think this thing is very useful, although it can't be directly visualized, but at least it can detect the darkness! ”
"Hua Rong, you deduct the battery and carry it well, let Chen Yuan take a breath, I'll take the lead."
The fat man was just about to turn off the device, but I hurriedly stopped it, and I saw that there was also a stone tower behind the shoulders of the Arctic Crape Myrtle Emperor on the display, which was much bigger than the one I was hiding from just now!
"Xiyin, the stone tower I just hid in is empty, what is the function of the stone tower in the Tang Dynasty."
Lin Xiyin said: The stone tower is divided into a stone structure combination tower and a whole carved stone tower, the ancients used it to deter evil spirits and store holy relics, such as the tower of Shaolin Temple is used to store the coffin relics and Buddhist scriptures of the deceased monks, that is to say, the things stored in the stone tower must be extraordinary holy relics and extremely important things.
Before she finished speaking, the fat man couldn't help it: "Holy relic? Are scrolls of holy decrees with jade seals also sacred? ”
Lin Xiyin said: "If there is the emperor's jade seal, it will naturally be more sacred. ”
The fat man hurriedly focused the flashlight on the pagoda ornament behind the Emperor Ziwei, and because the distance of the oblique shot was too long, the situation above could not be seen clearly.
Hua Rong jumped up to a high place and hit the Arctic Crape Myrtle Emperor on the shoulder with a rangefinder: "The height is 26 meters, and there are holes for building wooden frames around the statue, so there is no problem going up." ”
At the time of the battle, Captain Kim's words were more effective than me, the titular captain, and he said: "Hua Rong and Xi Yin, just look for the mark, and go back as soon as you find out!" ”
"I'm afraid that the two of them can't lift the stone tower, so I'll go up too."
Lin Xiyin hurriedly said, "Does your body allow it?" ”
"It feels better than before, don't worry, the three of us are on!"
Hua Rong stuck the flashlight diagonally on his shoulder, and at the same time turned on the miner's lamp on his forehead, and climbed up the hole that supported the wooden frame like a monkey.
Lin Xiyin asked me to go up first, I shook my arm, and I felt that there was no problem with my physical strength, and I climbed up like a gecko stroll.
When I came up, I saw Hua Rong's flashlight sweeping around this shoulder platform, and I saw an amazing scene along the light!
"Is this the fairy world or the underworld?"
The furnishings in front of you are almost identical to the pattern of the death knell, as if the scene was restored, with the only difference being that there are no objects in the shape of the sun or moon here.
Lin Xiyin also climbed up, and when she saw this scene, she exclaimed: "Above the floating clouds, the temple pagoda, near and far, the big and the small, the truth and the darkness, the ancients really knew it." ”
"Don't worry about it for now, let's open the pagoda and take a look."
The stone tower is more than a meter in diameter, and there are also countless immortals carved on it, and I knocked on the stone tower and there was a dull humming sound, and the inside was indeed empty.
Hua Rong moved a stone bench and placed it under the stone tower as a stepping foot, so that the three of us have a high bottom to form a better driving angle.
"1, 2, 3!"
After the stone tower was pushed and tilted, Lin Xiyin hurriedly pulled out and arched his waist to look at the bottom of the stone tower.
"I can't see everything yet, keep pushing!"
Hua Rongfu and I worked harder again, the gap at the bottom of the pagoda became larger, but Lin Xiyin screamed in horror!
