I found that the closer the clay sculpture is, the more unhuman it is, and the most eye-catching of them is the one with the head of the bull and wings, which is in the innermost row on the right, and this "person" is obviously one step taller than the others (more than two meters).

Xiao Li also looked at this "master" very peculiar, and followed me over.

"Isn't this the legendary bull-headed horse noodles?" Xiao Li said casually.

Several other people also gathered around.

"The bull head and horse face belong to the ghosts and gods in Buddhism, and Buddhism was only introduced to our country in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, more than 2,000 years later than Dayu, it will not be him"

Uncle Shi replied.

"Isn't there a name behind it? Why guess! ”

Li Xiaobai glanced around at the two strange symbols behind the clay sculpture, and immediately frowned, he probably forgot for a moment that he had only read the third year of junior high school.

Uncle Shi walked over, and when he saw it, he also said "Huh", these are two symbols, more and more curved, he only recognized the second word as "You".

"This man's name is 'What You'!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was instantly stunned - it was "Chiyou"!

About Chi You, last time in the illusory world at the junction of silver and sheep, I heard some things from Uncle Shi, I know that he is the patriarch of the Dongyi clan, the mysterious Dongyi people can fight well, first killed Emperor Yan, but then was killed by Yan Huang together.

"Old Sun, is this person really Chiyou? This...... It's not human! ”

I pointed to the clay head and wings of the bull.

"Humph! Haven't you noticed? The closer you are to the people of the mythological era, the less human-like they are, you look at the others, as well as Nuwa and Fuxi, especially the most feared Gu god of the third child, which of them looks like a human? ”

I nodded, feeling that there was some truth.

"Legend has it that Chiyou looks like this! And he has eighty-one brothers, all of whom are not human beings!"

Uncle Shi said sharply.

He had told me this, and I had only listened to it as a story.

The expression on Chen Laosan's face was still very solemn, and after entering the door, he looked very flustered, but Xiao Li and Li Xiaobai let go, looking east and west, looking like Lin Daiyu had just entered the Grand View Garden.

Chen Laosan said "um", squeezed in front of me, touched Chi You's wings, touched his chin again, and said with a very serious expression: "I have a bold idea, listen to it!" ”

After a pause, he asked us, "Don't you think that whether it is Chiyou, Nuwa and Fuxi, they are all very similar to the kind of people we have met before?" ”

"Someone we've seen? Who? I asked hurriedly.

Uncle Shi shouted, "You mean Gu people? ”

"That's right! In terms of appearance, these ancient gods are very similar to those Gu people who have been turned into by sorcerers. Chen Laosan said.

I said, "Maybe it's just similar!" One is a god man, the other is a demon man, how can it be the same! ”

Before Chen Laosan could answer, Uncle Shi shook his head first.

"Gods and demons are our subjective judgments, perhaps...... Maybe in a certain era, these gods are also called demons! ”

I instantly straightened out my thoughts, and felt that I probably understood what he meant, so I asked Chen Laosan: "Third brother, do you think that these great gods in ancient times are also Gu people?" ”

Chen Laosan nodded: "The reason why I say this is that in addition to the fact that the two are very similar in appearance, there are two other reasons. First of all, these gods lived for hundreds of years, far longer than the average person today (the average life expectancy was less than forty years at that time). ”

He pointed to the huge Gu God Statue again.

"And this Gu God! Obviously, he has the highest status among all of them, don't forget that he is a Gu God! ”

I understood Chen Laosan's words in seconds, and I instantly felt a blockage in my heart.

We quickly looked at the names behind the other clay sculptures, including Zhuan, Emperor Yu, Yao, Shun, Emperor Yan and Emperor, and there was also a tall figure in the other row, whose name was Xingtian.

In addition, there are a few uncles who can't recognize their names, in short, these are famous figures in ancient times and history. He speculated that this was a temple of gods, and these were all god-like figures before Dayu, but what we didn't understand was why only the areas where ethnic minorities in the west lived worshipped the Gu god, and there was no shadow of him in the Central Plains or even in the history books.

I was wondering when I heard a creak on the ground, and I looked for it, but there was nothing but countless bones on the ground.

Suddenly, there was another "creak", still coming from the ground more than ten meters away from me.

I just wanted to ask Chen Laosan and Li Xiaobai beside me if they heard any sound, when I saw a bone in the area where the sound came from move.

Well? My scalp is numb, how can this bone move?

This is a leg bone on the other side that also moved, and then slowly "stroked" towards us.

No way! It's going to be haunted! I hurriedly shouted to remind everyone.

At this time, almost at the same time, more and more bones moved, some just dangling in place, and a few actually "scratched" towards us.

Even if it is a bold person, at this time, "Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the sky - panicked", several people unconsciously leaned together, and they didn't dare to breathe and stare at those moving bones.

Xiao Li's entire chest was almost attached to me, smelling the faint fragrance on her body, feeling the softness of her chest, and listening to her throat panting, which was really incommensurate with this environment.

In less than a minute, almost half of the bones were moving.

Gradually, we returned to the entrance of the hall.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a large insect crawling out of a bone, the insect was white, with a pair of red antennae on the top of its head, and it looked like an ant, but it was a hundred times larger than an ant, the size of an adult's thumb.

"It's a bug! There are bugs hidden in the bones! ”

I hurriedly shouted.

In fact, there was no need for me to shout, and almost instantly, the entire hall was crawling with thousands of such bugs.

These bugs seem to be very entangled, trying to crawl towards us, but they don't seem to dare to ......

"It's a giant termite! A large social ant that can eat an elephant in a matter of minutes, isn't it already ...... Is it already extinct? ”

Chen Laosan muttered.

Speaking of which, I need to make a supplement, of course, these are all things that Chen Laosan told me later.

In the Helan Mountain area where he lived in Ningxia, there used to be a peculiar temple, which was not dedicated to Buddha, not a god, not a hero, but a huge white stone statue of ants.

Chen Laosan can remember that the temple had been abandoned for many years, and all he remembered was the mutilated stone ant statue and the many refugees who fled the famine in the Central Plains (during the three-year civil war) huddled here and wept.

Out of curiosity, he once asked the old man in the village why a white ant was enshrined in this temple.

The old man told him that it was not because of belief or admiration, but because of fear, that it was an ant that lived in the mud under the Yellow River, and that it was called "giant termites" in the local area, and that during the great drought, when there was no water in the river, the giant ants would come out of the riverbed in groups.

Everywhere the giant termites went, it was a real light! Not to mention the animals, not even a single weed is left.

Later, for some reason (too long to tell), people raised money to build this temple. Strange to say, the third year after the temple was repaired, it was a year of great drought, and people were all frightened, but until the drought passed, the giant termites did not appear, and more than 50 years have passed in a blink of an eye.

Maybe those termites are gone! Many people began to think so, and gradually the old people who had seen the power of the giant termites passed away one after another, and the younger generation no longer worshipped the temple, and over time it was abandoned.

Seeing the giant ants just crawling around in place, making bursts of buzzing sounds, and not approaching the door, the fear that we had just burst into a moment subsided a little.

"Old Sun, it's this robe that works!" Zhang Kailong asked Uncle Shi.

Uncle Shi kept staring at the white giant ants in the hall, nodded, and replied: "The robe is smoked with a special incense, it stands to reason that these insects dare not lean over......"

When Xiao Li heard this, he panicked.

"What? Uncle Shi, you say it stands to reason, don't you ......?"

"I seem to have overlooked one thing, and that is that these insects have been hungry for I don't know how many years, and before we came, they should be in a dormant state, disturbed by the smell or sound on our bodies!"

Xiao Li still didn't understand, and continued to ask: "You mean, they may still attack us?" ”

Uncle Shi shook his head and said, "This is really hard to say, have you forgotten any sentence?" 'The rabbit took a bite in a hurry'! ”

I knew that Uncle Shi was scaring Xiao Li, but we didn't dare to stay longer, and after exiting, we found a smaller door on the other side.

I could tell at a glance that it was a bronze door, about the size of a normal village gate, and it was carved with dark patterns, exactly the same mysterious pattern that I had seen many times before.

The door opened with a slight push.

This is September, the power of the autumn tiger is still there, although we only wore a robe, but we didn't feel cold, but as soon as we stepped into this door, a chill hit, and I couldn't help but shiver.

This can also be regarded as a hall, but it is much smaller and darker than the previous temple of gods.

The first thing I saw when I entered the door was twelve large platforms that were one person high. I'm a little familiar with this one! Except for the smaller ones, both the color and shape are the same as those in the big pit in the western suburbs of Laomiao Village before, which should be made of a certain kind of jade.

It is called a coffin accurately.

Could it be that there is also a dragon-shaped thing in this? With that in mind, a few of us walked over to the nearest coffin.

Xiao Li held my arm tightly, and I could feel his body trembling.

"This coffin is not covered!" Zhang Kailong walked in the front and suddenly stopped when he was about three meters away from the coffin.

Later, we also saw that the coffin was uncovered, and a dried corpse was lying inside.

Uncle Shi quickly ran to the other coffin and took a look, and suddenly shouted excitedly: "I understand what the 'Twelve Protectors' mean in those mantras that have been passed down from generation to generation!" ”
