Because they were worried that the mechanism would be triggered, the four of them could only hold their breath one step at a time, which directly led to their forward speed.

It took more than ten minutes to walk for about twenty meters, and at this time, they could clearly see the patterns carved on the pillars in front of them.

When they got closer, they finally saw that the carved lines were actually some animals. And the carvings on each pillar are different.

"Chu Banxian, you see that this pillar is carved with a chicken!!" Qiu Yu recognized at a glance that the pillar that was directly facing them was carved with a chicken.

The loach showed weakness, and when he saw Qiu Yu say this, he immediately ran to the edge of another pillar and looked at it carefully, and then shouted loudly: "This is a dog!" After saying that, as if he had discovered a new world, the loach jumped up and down to the next pillar to check it out, and then shouted, "This is a pig!" ”

Just as Loach and Qiu Yu were inspecting the pillars, Chu Tianlu began to look at the circular platform in the middle of these pillars.

This high platform is built in the middle of a circular pool with a diameter of about ten meters, seven or eight meters high, dark black, and a faint smell of fishy smell comes from there.

The high platform is divided into seven layers, the bottom layer is about six or seven meters in diameter, and the upper layer becomes smaller in the form of trapezoids, and there are deep grooves on the plane of each layer, and when it reaches the top layer, there is almost a diameter of about one meter and a half left. On the top of the platform was a strange animal that looked like a cow.

The reason why it is said to be strange is because its posture is a bit unbelievable!! It had four horns, long hair, and seemed to have something in its mouth, bending its twisted neck to look back.

Its four hooves do not stand upright, giving the impression of a person swimming in water. And its tail is not vertically lowered, but forms a straight line and stretches straight back.

This high platform gave Chu Tianlu the feeling of being a large multi-layered stone mill, and it was like a richly decorated fountain at the entrance of some government agencies.

Chu Tianlu couldn't understand what this thing meant at all, and his mind was thinking back to the altar that Hu Hai said before, thinking that this should be the altar!!

"Master, there are twelve pillars on this pillar, and each one has a zodiac engraved on it. Isn't it strange if you say it's weird!! Before Qiu Yu came back, the loach ran to Chu Tianlu, and preemptively reported what he had just checked. It looked like he was afraid of being preempted by the autumn rain.

"Yes, there is also a Buddha statue on each pillar, and if I guess correctly, it should correspond to the guardian of each zodiac." Qiu Yu was not surprised by the loach's strange behavior, and after glancing at him coldly, he unhurriedly said everything he saw and his own conjectures.

"Zodiac Guardians? It's really a lot of walking at night, and you can meet any ghost!! Cold beauty, what are you kidding? It's the first time I've heard of it when you've grown so big, you won't be a rough person with a low level of culture like us!! "Since the loach was teased by the three of them at the door, it was as if his temperament had changed greatly, and he always wanted to find someone to make a bar.

Qiu Yu basically treated him with a roll of his eyes or a contemptuous sneer before, but this time she did not follow the usual practice, and answered sarcastically: "Not understanding does not mean ignorance, but if you don't understand it, you have to pretend to understand, it will inevitably make people doubt the nature of this person and his education." Although I have always disagreed with the sentence that some people say, uneducated, it is terrible to have a derogatory connotation, but today for the first time I feel that the person who said this still has some truth!! ”

Chu Tianlu actually heard for the first time that the Zodiac has a guardian, and he was also very curious, seeing that the two were about to have a verbal battle again, he hurriedly asked out loud, and took the opportunity to interrupt the two: "The Guardian Saint of the Zodiac, I have also heard of it for the first time, which ones are?" ”

Not to mention, Chu Tianlu's trick is very good, and he immediately blocked the words of the red loach to his mouth, and Qiu Yu seemed to feel that she had said something excessive, but it was impossible for her to apologize to the loach, so she had to clear her throat a little embarrassed and said: "I also heard about this when I traveled to Thailand, and the tour guide also passed by at that time, I thought it was quite amazing, and I checked their corresponding gods after I went back." I just found out that the stone statue sitting on the top of the pillar is their corresponding.

The guardian deity of the chicken is Fudo Meiwang, the patron deity of the dog is Amitabha, the patron deity of the mouse is the Senju Kannon, and the guardian of the cow...... What does it mean to just put them here!! I don't understand! ”

After Chu Tianlu listened, there seemed to be a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he compared it with what Hu Hai said before, and he should generally know the meaning of these things here.

They should want to use the power of the zodiac to urge the altar, and then add the eight characters of the beneficiary's birth in a special way, so as to disrupt his life and death in the book of life and death, so that the ghost judge cannot determine his life time and death date at all, so as to achieve the effect of prolonging life.

In ancient times, they attached great importance to the year of birth, that is, the eight characters of birth, so no matter which nationality they were, they had their own set of calculations. But no matter which nationality, there is one thing in common, they will use the ancient twelve divine beasts as a sign of their birth.

The above is that the yang world uses the eight characters of birth to calculate the time of birth of a person, so the underworld should calculate the date of death of a person, of course, it must also be calculated in the way of the eight characters of birth. Otherwise, it will be difficult to judge people's merits, and it will be difficult to choose which one of the samsara will be given.

Hu Hai also said that when this altar was built, it was actually just to prolong the life of that person, but it was only later that an emergency occurred, and this place was temporarily requisitioned.

Chu Tianlu is so connected, it is not difficult to understand why there are twelve zodiac signs here.

However, I have never heard of a dual-purpose sacrifice, or when the place was requisitioned, the person who ordered it had already given up its original intention.

Loach and the others didn't know what Chu Tianlu was thinking, and when they saw that the stone platform was strange, they all looked around carefully.

"Master, don't you say this thing is just a thing of grinding soy milk in the countryside!! Why are you still here? Could it be that those things here are tired of lying down and getting up to grind soy milk and drink? As he spoke, the loach shuddered for no reason, and his arms subconsciously crossed his chest and rubbed his palms on his shoulders. It looked like I had suddenly moved from a warm place to a particularly cold place, and I was not used to it.

It is also strange to say, the loach's action is like being contagious, Chu Tianlu and Qiu Yu followed closely and did the same action, only the dumb turtle was like no one, staring at the animal on the stone platform without blinking.
