After walking like this for an hour, the temple could not see its fingers.

And they returned to the main house, and a bonfire was lit.

The guards who came with the queen began to boil water in pots, while Feng Miaojun walked around the hall, hoping to find clues related to the mark of the fish.

This place is really too big, even if she expands her divine thoughts to the extreme, it will not be able to find out clearly in a while.

Chen Dachang suddenly said: "There are no creatures here. ”

Yu was really stunned: "What?"

"A dilapidated place is inevitably full of insects, but there is no one here. Chen Dachang casually pointed around, "There is not even a cobweb here." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and then carefully observed, only to realize that what he said was true:

Apart from the humans present, there were no other living beings in this huge temple.

Not to mention poisonous insects such as scorpions, centipedes, green snakes, and even small creatures such as moths and ants that ordinary farmers have, all of which are not seen here!

Out of the main hall of the gods, but you can catch them everywhere.

Feng Miaojun asked Yu in a deep voice: "Do you feel it?"

Yu Zhen slowly opened his eyes and shook his head.

Feng Miaojun thought about it, took out a walnut-sized ant nest from his arms, put it on the ground and patted it twice.

Immediately the nest rushed to the blood-red ants, each the size of a pinhead, but with a terrifying mouth.

This is the famous Heart-Eater Ant, usually as long as Feng Miaojun gives an order, even if there is a sea of fire in front of them, they will move forward.

But this time it's different.

The Mind Eater spun around the ground twice, as if stunned for a moment, scratched the tentacles on its head by the way, and then impatiently retreated back to the nest, much faster than it came out of the nest.

No matter how Feng Miaojun urged, they didn't come out.

Everyone looked at it and was amazed.

Feng Miaojun thought about it, and then took out a ghost-faced nest spider and put it on the ground.

This female spider carried hundreds of small spiders, and Feng Miaojun intended to use them to search the temple, but the spider fell to the ground as if it had been immobilized, and it did not move.

The hostess touched it again, and the ghost-faced nest spider immediately crawled down her fingers and back into her sleeve.

Feng Miaojun took a light breath: "These two spirit pets all feel that there is an invisible coercion in the hall, so that they dare not act rashly, or even face it directly. That's why he retreated back to the nest to seek shelter from his master, but his specific feelings were not expressed.

After all, they're just two creatures without intelligence.

But it is precisely because of this that they are many times more sensitive than intelligent beings.

Chen Dachang said in a low voice: "Why don't we change places?"

"Not necessarily. Feng Miaojun toe away from a small cluster of embers on the ground, "There are not a few humans who have lit the fire here overnight, even if there is a god three feet above its head, it will not offend us alone." ”

Chen Dachang pointed to the stone platform under the statue: "There are blood stains there." ”

He had been sitting here and noticed that the table was a little black. Which one of the people present is not the ruthless horn of the knife licking the blood? At a glance, it can be seen that this is the color of the blood after it has coagulated, and it is black and old because of the passage of time.

At that moment, a guard walked over and removed the mess in front of the stage, so everyone saw more blood stains.

The blood stain was not directly sprayed from the animal's neck, but purposefully stained a little east and west. The stone platform is not blank, but a picture scroll carved with extremely fine techniques.

There are people in the painting, there are beasts and monsters, and strange creatures whose names are not even known to others. But they all bowed and worshipped, and their eyes were all directed towards a big tree in the center of the picture.

The carving was so expressive that even the expressions on the faces of the creatures were carved into detail.

That awe, worship, and surrender comes from the heart.

Feng Miaojun sighed lightly, and Yu Zhen immediately said, "What?"

"Nothing. Feng Miaojun shook his head, but his heart was shocked. This picture scroll also felt familiar to her—on the fragments of the utensils she had collected from the ancestral hall of the Emperor of the Kingdom, there was a portrait of such a person. It's just that the content of the fragment is limited, and she only knows that all the portraits are looking at something, but she doesn't know what that thing is.

Now she probably guessed that it was the big tree painted in the center of the stone platform.

If the altar of the god of the realm is complete, is it also painted with this pattern? In terms of the relationship between the gods of heaven and the gods of the world, she is very sure that she made this connection.

"I just think it's strange that this stone platform sculpture is not colored. Feng Miaojun raised his eyes and looked around, "Look around." ”

After she said this, everyone realized that it was abnormal:

Not to mention the main temple of the gods, the interior colors of all the buildings in the temple are very bright, mainly red, blue, and green. And there are traces of digging everywhere in the hall, which is the real gold on the hammer that was plucked off by treasure hunters in later generations.

But in any case, this reflects the aesthetic orientation of human beings at that time. The stone platform is at the foot of the statue, and it occupies the center of the whole hall, and its importance is self-evident, but it retains the original gray and white background, and there is no color at all.

I don't know how many skilled craftsmen have condensed its carving, how could the builders of the year be negligent and forget to color it?

The only explanation can only be that it is deliberately "left blank".

Combined with the location of the blood stains, Yu really suddenly realized: "Someone uses blood stains to find mechanisms." ”

If you take a few dozen steps back, you will find that the location of the blood stain is very particular, most of which is on the eyes of the creatures in the painting and the leaves of the large tree they worship.

It is said to be "dyeing", but it is more like "extension".

When accepting inscriptions and vessel patterns, it is often necessary to use rubbing, which is stained with ink and covered with paper. Blood was used instead of ink, and under their guidance, it was discovered that all the bloodstained carvings had the quality of bulging outward, like—

It's like a button.

That is to say, some of the treasure hunters, like Feng Miaojun, noticed the special features of this stone platform, and thought more deeply than her, trying to use the method of blood dyeing to find the mechanism hidden in the stone platform.

In other words, the man believed that there was something in the stone platform.

It's quite possible. The statue is so magnificent, and the stone platform at its foot is also as high as one zhang, and the length is as many as several zhang. If it's hollow, then the space inside is really not small, at least dozens of squares.

Chen Dachang touched the stone platform and said, "I don't know what material it is made of, it seems to be very strong." ”

Feng Miaojun was even more straightforward, took out the Star Sky Cone and stabbed it directly on the stone wall.

"Ding", a few sparks came out, and the stone wall was intact.

She gradually increased her strength, but the result was no different, not even a white spot was left on the gray-white stone surface.

"No wonder the man had to go to great lengths to find a mechanism, it turned out that this thing was ridiculously hard and could not be opened violently. When Feng Miaojun said this, he suddenly understood, "Yes, Zhao Yun!"
