This is the Return to the Ruins (3)
There are many palaces on the street, each arch is carved with different characters, the gate is closed, and Bailing walks around, and finally stops in front of an alabaster arch that is much more atmospheric than other palaces.
In front of the door stand two bizarre stone statues of beasts, the carvings of their eyes are extremely sharp and lifelike.
She suddenly had a strange feeling, these stone statues seemed to be alive.
At this time, a middle-aged man in a gorgeous green robe walked out and made a priest's salute, "Stranger, you have come to be tested by the divine water." ”
He asked so firmly, it was obvious that he had received quite a few outsiders like her before that.
"Yes." Bai Ling said, "I'm going to return to the ruins." ”
"Please come with me." The middle-aged man made a "please" gesture.
Walking through a long portico, you can see the elegant flowered window lattices and the pointed arches and domes inlaid with colored stones. Passing through several secluded halls, there is a wide passage with gray stone steps, flanked by four majestic statues.
The four statues are all about five meters high, and they are all humanoid shapes wearing cloaks, but they have different shapes, and the things they hold in the void in their hands are also different, including flames, powder, and thunder and lightning.
Although the cloak he wore obscured the faces of the four statues, Bai Ling felt several pairs of eyes staring at him intently behind him as he passed through this passage.
The statue is alive.
If she had just guessed, now she could be sure that the statue here had a spirit.
"We're here."
Suddenly, the middle-aged man stopped.
Before they knew it, they had come to a large hall, which was decorated in white tones and made it particularly warm and peaceful.
Inside the hall, a young man in a gorgeous red robe heard their footsteps and turned around, revealing a young and holy face.
"This is Bishop Kahn of our Central Church branch in Ngay." The middle-aged man introduced.
"Hello." Bai Ling glanced at the bishop in front of her without leaving a trace. He gives people a feeling like a spring breeze, probably related to the cultivation of exercises.
And in the center of the hall, a white jade statue more than ten meters high stands majestically, the image of a middle-aged man in gorgeous robes and ordinary appearance, looking down compassionately on the small beings under his feet.
"Hello, Outlander." Bishop Karn smiled slightly, "In the name of Azathoth, as long as you pass the test, I will guide you to the Gate of the Ruins." ”
Bai Ling retracted her gaze, but it was a meal.
Azathoth?
Isn't this the head of the ancient outer gods who once tore through the Shura Realm, broke through the wall into the Spirit Realm, and caused the destruction of countless gods?
Could it be that the true entrance to the ruins is in the outer universe?
This guess flashed in Bai Ling's heart, and she felt that it was not difficult to understand. Legend has it that the ruins are the place where the gods are destined to be solved. The gods in this naturally include countless gods in the outer universe.
However, the ancients recorded that Azathoth was cruel and ruthless, a tyrannical dark invader. But I didn't expect that in the eyes of these believers, the image of Azathos was so tall and majestic.
Even they have the power of light flowing through them.
Really......
It's kind of interesting.
At the same time, Karn waved his robes, and a gray swirl appeared directly in front of the statue of Azathoth.
"You need to find your way to the cloister door," he said. ”
