Chapter 105: The Statue of Nuwa Niangniang

We cautiously approached the sculpture and looked at the well next to it.

I originally thought the sculpture was made of stone, but when I got closer, I saw the mottled patina on it, and realized that it was actually a bronze sculpture.

I think if we hadn't seen the bronze gate before, the huge banyan tree, or the bronze "Demon Suppression Tower", the four of us would have been shocked by the huge sculpture with the upper body of a human and the lower half of the body of a snake.

It's just so realistic! This was the first thing I felt when I walked into the sculpture.

Although the sculpture has been covered with patina, it still can't hide the exquisite dark lines on it, and the perfect combination of the snake and the human body is fully embodied, and it makes people feel that this human body and snake feet really exist in the world.

Slowly we walked around to the sculpture and saw the front of the sculpture.

This is indeed a woman! I exclaimed in my heart. What shocked me was not that the sculpture was a woman, but that she had a flawless face, and just one look at it made me chuckle in my heart: there is such a perfect face in the world, whether it is facial features or contours, there is not the slightest flaw, no more, no less.

I don't know how this huge sculpture was cast, in addition to the exquisite facial features, the woman's posture is also extremely beautiful, especially the towering chest and soft waist.

The woman pinched her waist with one hand, raised her hand slightly, and held a bottle in her palm.

I was just shocked by the beauty of this sculpture, but I didn't expect that my uncle next to me was also stunned, and I could clearly feel that she was very excited when she saw the face of this sculpture.

It's normal for me to like to watch beautiful women at my age! But Uncle Shi is seventy or eighty years old, and if this is the case, he will be an old rascal! I thought to myself.

"This is a statue of Nuwa! How did it end up here? ”

Just when I imagined my uncle as an old pervert, his shout inadvertently cleared his suspicion.

The three of us also know Nuwa, after all, when we were children, we all heard the stories of "Nuwa mends the sky" and "Nuwa makes people", and we all know that Nuwa is a human body with snake legs...... But after all, she is a character of myths and legends! Where did the legendary character come from with a fixed face?

Uncle Shi actually said that he knew her!

"Do you know Nuwa?"

Zhang Kailong may also be puzzled, and hurriedly asked.

"Kind of acquaintance! We people of the Yellow River Dao used to worship her for thousands of years, but I don't know why, it was suddenly destroyed fifty years ago, when in addition to the statue of Nuwa, some books were destroyed. ”

When I heard this, I was like: Fifty years ago? What happened fifty years ago!

At this time, we were already cold, I was better, after all, after eating dragon eggs, whether it was against the cold or the heat, Chen Laosan and Zhang Kailong couldn't help but shiver all over, and their breathing became short.

"It's hard to ...... Could it be that what your master left behind is this sculpture? Zhang Kailong stomped his feet from the cold and looked at the huge Nuwa sculpture, as if he was a little angry.

Whoever it is, probably not happy, an adult stripped naked, walked so far barefoot, and came to such a ghost place, shivering from the cold...... The point is, there is nothing else here besides this sculpture and a well! If it weren't for this sculpture, it wouldn't be the well!

Although I knew in my heart that it couldn't be a well, I still unconsciously glanced at the well.

Except for the fact that this wellhead is larger, there is nothing special about it.

The two-meter-wide well is surrounded by a layer of black stones more than one meter high, which is no different from a rural well.

So he looked back at the statue of Nuwa Niangniang again.

I accidentally caught a glimpse of Uncle Shi and Chen Laosan staring at the bottle in the hand of the sculpture, as if they had found something.

I looked at the bottle again.

Looking at the color, the bottle does not match the color of the entire sculpture, and it should not be bronze, and if you look at the proportions, it is also disproportionate to the size of Nuwa Niangniang's palm. The three or four meters tall sculpture has at least 40 centimeters in the palm of the hand (it seems that Nuwa Niangniang's hand is particularly long), but this bottle is obviously a size smaller, and it looks very funny in a big hand.

Looking at the bottle again, it was actually no different from an ordinary small vase, with a plant sticking out of the bottle, which had withered.

Plant? I looked at the plant sticking out of the mouth of the bottle again, it looked like a stem of a plant, but the leaves had turned yellow and withered. There shouldn't be such a stem in this bottle! Unless...... Unless he has lived in this bottle for at least fifty years!

Uncle Shi and Chen Laosan were staring at this plant, and what I thought of should have been thought of just now.

"Could it be that the contents of that bottle were left to me by my senior brother?" Uncle Shi muttered.

In the past, I always felt that Uncle Shi was a person with a deep Taoism, but now standing in front of me is just a naked old man with a severely deformed body, and like us, in this strange place, his face is also full of doubts.

Chen Laosan said: "That plant shouldn't be like that!" It looks like it has just withered, and it won't have been in this bottle for at least fifty years! ”

Uncle Shi nodded, I thought he was going to explain why this plant is like this, but who knew that he changed his words and asked us instead: "Do you know that Nuwa Niangniang did those three things?" ”

Zhang Kailong replied casually: "Legend has it that he created human beings!" ”

I then said, "She cultivated the multicolored stone to fill the hole in the sky!" ”

"What about the other one?" Uncle Shi looked at us and asked.

One more piece? I thought to myself that I had studied history very well, but I didn't think of any other legends about Nuwa.

Seeing that we couldn't answer, Uncle Shi smiled slightly and said, "She also did something that most people in the world don't know, that is, she suppressed the legendary dark spirit!" ”

When I heard this, I wanted to laugh, dark spirit? The name is very similar to the villain in Japanese anime.

Probably Uncle Shi saw the slight change in my expression, his face was stunned, and he replied: "You can't be disrespectful to Nuwa Niangniang!" You can't do it in your heart, you have to believe that there are gods three feet above your head! ”

I quickly controlled myself, and in order to change the topic, I quickly asked him: "It doesn't matter if what you said is true or not, but what does this have to do with the plants in this bottle?" ”

"What does it matter? What a stake! Don't you want to think about why the bronze tower on top of this is called 'Demon Suppression Tower'? ”

In fact, Uncle Shi also just thought of it, after he saw the plants in this bottle, he quickly connected with the statue of Nuwa Niangniang, as well as the "Demon Town Tower" outside, since the name of the bronze tower is "Town Demon Tower", it can't be casual, right?

It's like a "wand" or "demon mirror", and the name should correspond to the purpose of this thing.

Since the name is "Demon Town", it should play the role of "Demon Town", in addition to the statue of Nuwa Niangniang is a well, and see this withered plant, and every many years, someone will come here, and they will also engrave their names on the bronze Demon Tower......

Could it be that the purpose of these people is to water the withered plants?
