Further on is the pattern of the construction of this temple, and it is not difficult to see from the statue that almost all the Jiuli people who migrated to build this temple participated, and the huge bronze Chiyou stood like an unattainable mountain in the jungle to oversee the construction of the temple.

The final statue is the completion of the temple, even if it is a miniature jade carving, but standing here looks shocking, we can clearly see the whole picture of the temple's magnificence.

The twelve ancestral gods stood on top of the temple, and all the people kneeling down below were the ancestors of Jiuli, and the mighty and tall bronze Chiyou stood under the temple like an inviolable guard.

A priest knelt respectfully in front of the twelve ancestral gods, reverently and humbly buried his head and raised his hands high, and the ancestral god wearing a three-eyed unicorn mask handed over two things to the priest's hands.

The jade carvings were extremely detailed and vivid, and I quickly recognized them when I looked down and recognized them, the Demon Flower Mantis we had encountered in the Forbidden Land before, and the Butterfly Queen who guarded the temple.

"These two monsters originally belonged to the ancestral gods." It dawned on the general.

"It is impossible for the Jiuli people to design such a profound temple, presumably in the process of building the temple, the Jiuli people have comprehended the representative numbers of the temple, so as to comprehend the earliest calendar." Ye Zhiqiu pointed to the jade carving and said.

"The Demon Flower Mantis is used to guard the forbidden place and prevent people from approaching the temple, and the Butterfly Queen is placed in the stone chamber cube in the temple, which is the last line of defense to protect the ancestral gods, it seems that these ancestral gods do not want anyone to enter here." The palace lord nodded.

"Elder Wen, after the defeat of the Jiuli tribe in the battle of the deer, a large number of ancestors moved here, judging from the scale of the temple, to complete such a huge project, it must take a long time and there are countless people involved in the construction, but why is there no record of this aspect in history." Ye Zhiqiu turned his head to look at Wen Ru.

"Not only the Jiuli tribe, but even other ethnic groups that later separated from Jiuli have no records about the ancestral gods of Jiuli, but there are only some sporadic rumors, limited to priests, but there is very little understanding of the ancestral gods." Wen Ru also shook his head. "I have been studying the history of Miaojiang, and I found that there seems to be a blank fault, and the time is just the period when the Jiuli people built this temple."

"But why can the Qiyao calendar be passed down, it stands to reason that the Qiyao calendar also belongs to that period, and there is also the Miao people's totem worship of butterflies, and the source should be the butterfly queen in the temple." Ye Zhiqiu's expression was puzzled.

"Have you found it, all the things related to the Twelve Ancestral Gods don't seem to have been recorded and passed on." I frowned and thought about it for a long time. "The Qiyao calendar is the calendar that the Jiuli people have learned through the process of building the temple, and as for the butterfly totem worship, ......"

"That's because after the ancestral god of Jiuli enters the temple, the people of Jiuli will also come to worship at the time when the ancestral god tells him, although the purpose is to raise the butterfly queen and ensure that the guards of the temple can survive, but later the sacrifice has been more than a thousand years." The palace lord interrupted me and said calmly. "Maybe the fault line appeared from that time, and the Jiuli people who came to the temple for the first time didn't know what the ancestral god they worshipped was, but the priest should have seen the butterfly queen and the stone platform in the sacrificial room, and then linked the butterfly with the ancestral god, and it continued from generation to generation, and over time, it became a rumor that the butterfly created the twelve ancient ancestral gods."

"Yes." Tian Ji slapped his thigh. "That's the reason, I saw that old female worm before, and I really thought it was the so-called ancestral god of the Jiuli people."

"Then what is the reason why the Jiuli people, who revere the twelve ancestral gods so much, forget their gods in just one thousand years after building the temple?" The general took a puff of his cigarette and looked at me.

"The Jiuli people have never even seen what these ancestral gods look like, and in the end, they still rely on golden masks to engrave their fantasized faces, which shows that the Jiuli ancestral gods do not want to be known about their origin and identity." I scratched my head and was a little puzzled. "The blank fault history happens to be the period when the Jiuli Ancestral God appeared and disappeared, as if it was erased out of thin air, and wiped cleanly, how did it happen?"

"It seems that only the ancestral gods can answer these questions, but don't think about it now, these statues won't tell us anything." Tian Ji's attention has fallen on the golden mask of the bronze statue. "We didn't come in vain, we finally figured out the matter of the Jiuli Ancestral God, and by the way, we also got twelve golden masks."

"What did you figure out?" The palace lord smiled bitterly and shook his head. "We don't know anything about the Jiuli Ancestral God, but it only confirms the existence of the Ancestral God, and we still don't know anything else."

"Don't be so serious." The field chicken has climbed the bronze statue. "I know so much about what I do, like I know less than you, so I'm easy to be satisfied, content, hurry up and help me break off the golden mask, I know this thing is better than anything else."

Gong Jue pushed me, saying that if I don't help Tian Ji take off the golden mask, maybe he will not be able to consume it on it, I didn't really want to help Tian Ji who couldn't hold it when I saw the gold owner, but I just wanted to see if there would be a face under the mask of the head of the twelve ancestral gods.

Another reason was that the closer I got to the bronze statue, the clearer the sound in my ears became, and I wondered why only I could hear it, and when my fingertips touched the statue, I suddenly heard a solemn chant behind me.

I looked back in astonishment, and the gloomy and cold temple seemed to have suddenly taken on a new look, and the jade carving in front of me was crystal clear and refracted with brilliant fluorescence in the firelight, as if it had just been carved and enshrined here.

But the palace lord and Ye Zhiqiu and Tian Ji around me have disappeared, only I am alone, the sound of chanting came from outside the passage, I hesitated to walk out, at the end of the passage I stood in the middle of the eleven statues outside, shocked to see the entire ice room kneeling full of pious Jiuli people, under the leadership of the priest while worshipping the statue of the ancestral god, while whispering words in my mouth that I did not understand, with a respectful and humble attitude.

I saw twelve tall men walking towards me, the three-eyed unicorn pattern on the blood-red robe was very eye-catching, the shadow of the cloak obscured the faces of these people, walking past me as if they couldn't see me at all, I subconsciously reached out to touch, these people actually passed through my fingers like ethereal smoke.

I watched as these people walked behind me, turned around and was surprised to find that the statues were actually open, and those people walked into the statues, and then the statues were closed by the Jiuli people who followed behind me.

The last one who walked towards me was the man wearing the three-eyed unicorn mask in the jade carving, straight through my body, towards the depths of the passage, I stared blankly at what happened suddenly when I got up, turned back and followed the man into the passage, I watched the man stand in the bronze statue that was opened.

I walked over in amazement, stood at the feet of the man, looked up suspiciously, and in the mask I saw a pair of eyes open, and from under the mask came the voice I had been hearing, the man seemed to be talking to me, but unfortunately I could not understand a word.

I panicked to get closer enough to hear what the man was saying, when the bronze statue suddenly closed, and it was as dark as if I had fallen into the abyss, and I heard someone calling my name.

"Gu Chaoge!" The palace lord's shout pulled me back from the abyss.

My hand retracted in horror, the scenes I saw before disappeared without a trace, I was still standing under the bronze statue, the whole ice room was dark and cold, Ye Zhiqiu and the general breathed a long sigh of relief.

"What's wrong with you?" Tian Ji asked worriedly above. "Let me help, you are actually in a daze below, and there is no reaction at all for more than ten minutes."

"More than ten minutes...... "I haven't recovered yet, and I look around in a panic." Just now...... Did you see anything just now? ”

"Why are you so surprised, that's all there is here, you've seen everything you should see, what else can you see?" Ye Zhiqiu reached out and touched my forehead. "You shouldn't be sick, I said I heard a voice before, but now I see something, don't scare me."

I shook my head blankly, I actually stood there for more than ten minutes, but before I did see an incredible scene, and it was so real and complete, I could even hear the person talking to me, it should be the picture of the Jiuli Ancestral God being enshrined here, and it was also the last time the Jiuli Ancestral God appeared in front of the Jiuli ancestors.

"Get down!" I came back to my senses and said to Tian Ji in a panic.

"What's wrong?" Tian Ji had already torn off the golden mask from the bronze statue, and still had no face.

"These are not statues." I licked my lips and replied nervously.

"What's not a statue?" The general asked.

"It's a coffin!" I replied as I searched around the bronze statue.

"Coffin?" The others asked in unison in surprise.

"The twelve people were inside these statues, and the statues were opened, and then those people stood in them, and finally the statues were closed by the Jiuli people." I replied excitedly.

Gong Jue and Tian Ji, who had just climbed down, looked at each other with a blank expression, Wen Ru was stunned at first but quickly walked to the statue, Ye Zhiqiu muttered beside him, who would use the statue as a coffin......

Click!

A clear voice interrupted Ye Zhiqiu, I found the buckle on the side of the statue, Wen Ru was more excited than me, I saw that his hands were shaking, and the others were stunned and didn't react at all, it took a long time for Tiantian Ji and the general to come over to help, and we worked together to slowly push the heavy statue away.
