The twelve statues in the mural are about the same height as the Tower of Babel, and judging from the depiction of the mural, they are completely standing between heaven and earth. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

With the sky above his head, stepping on the mountains and rivers, and looking down on the demon kingdom, the momentum is overflowing, even if he just looks at the murals, he can feel the supreme majesty.

All the statues of the gods are evenly distributed, and all of them have no appearance, but the entire ancient city clearly bears the style of Qin Dynasty architecture, and the curved dragon pattern can be clearly seen on the Tower of Babel.

It is a dragon ornament with a thunder pattern, which prevailed at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, and later declined until the Qin Dynasty was re-enabled, which was a typical craft of the Qin Dynasty.

However, the mural says that the demon kingdom depicted does not only have the style of the Qin Dynasty, but also the priest coffin we found before, as well as some cultural characteristics of Jiuli, and the two styles are fused together in the demon kingdom.

For example, in the murals, the overall building of the Demon Kingdom is in the shape of a mass, with a symmetrical combination of cross axes, a huge scale, and a prominent image, which is a typical architectural style of the Qin Dynasty, but on some statues and stone pillars, it is clearly the cultural characteristics of Jiuli.

"There are two names for this place, Emperor Qin called this place a temple, but the ancestors of Jiuli called this place the Demon Kingdom, from the point of view of the construction time, this ancient city was completed in the Qin Dynasty, but the Qin Dynasty did not have this architectural characteristics similar to these statues and stone pillars." Xue Xinrou pointed to the mural and said.

"Whether it is a temple or a demon country, Emperor Qin ordered Fusu to build here, and no one knows the exact location until now, it can be seen how secret the construction process is, in Emperor Qin's heart, the temple is related to Jiangshan Sheji, he didn't tell anyone except Fusu, and it is impossible for the descendants of Jiuli to participate in the construction of the temple." Gong Jue said after walking back and forth a few steps. "It is certain that for a long time after the completion of the temple, the descendants of Jiuli did not know about the existence of the temple."

"Then why are there things from the Jiuli culture in the temple?" Tian Ji looked dazed.

The twelve ancestral gods appeared in the Western Jin Dynasty, this time coincided with the Moon Palace Nine Dragons Boat anchored in Lingshan Jincheng, according to our previous inference, the Twelve Ancestral Gods can perceive the moving Moon Palace Nine Dragons Boat, it can be seen that after the completion of the temple, the Twelve Ancestral Gods have been resting in the temple until the Moon Palace Nine Dragons Boat reappeared, awakening the ancestral gods.

And it was during this period that the legend of the descendants of Jiuli appeared in the twin cities of the Demon Kingdom, that is, the descendants of Jiuli only knew and came into contact with the location of the Demon Kingdom after the awakening of the ancestral gods.

Speaking of this, I blocked a statue on the mural with my hand, and then looked at the others and continued: "Before the Western Jin Dynasty, this was actually a temple, but after the ancestral god was awakened, the descendants of Jiuli have always believed in the twelve ancestral gods, so they gathered in the temple, and on the basis of the original building of the temple, a building with Jiuli culture was built, and the ancient city that fused the two styles became a demon country. ”

Xue Xinrou nodded suddenly, she told us that in Xue Shuqiao's research on ethnic minorities, it was found that the demon is not the opposite of God, nor is it our understanding of the demon, especially in the people evolved by the descendants of Jiuli, the demon represents the supreme divinity, not only has light but also has darkness, to some extent, the status of the demon even surpasses that of God.

The meaning of the demon kingdom is the kingdom of the gods.

"Then why are they called Twin Cities?" Tian Ji still looked a little unfigured.

"This may be related to the Jiuli culture, and it is not difficult to see from the statues and stone pillars in the murals that all the structures are symmetrical and the same size." Ye Jiuqing said.

"I thought the same way before, but in my grandfather's research on Jiuli, there was no mention of such cultural characteristics." Xue Xinrou said.

Gong Jue was suddenly startled, turned his head to look at the coffin in the middle of the dark room, and then carefully gazed at the mural: "Demon Kingdom Twin Cities...... Pair?! Is that what it means? ”

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Anything is symmetrical, which means that there are two beings of the same thing, not only buildings, but also people, sewing two women together from an early age." The palace lord pointed to the statue in the fresco, which was symmetrical and two people back to back. "It's an artificial way to fit the characteristics of the twin cities of the Demon Kingdom."

"It's too cruel to do that." Tian Ji looked at the female corpse in the coffin, and still felt a little creepy.

"No, this is the embodiment of the divinity of the demon country, and it is also a way for these Jiuli descendants to worship God, I believe that at that time, such a double body was extremely revered, and in the later Jiuli culture, this kind of double body did not appear, it can be seen that not anyone can have such an honor." Xue Xinrou suddenly realized. "Only a man of such high standing as a priest has such treatment."

"That's strange, the ancestors of Jiuli have always believed in the twelve ancestral gods, since this way can express their reverence for the gods, why hasn't it continued?" Ye Jiuqing looked at the mural and was puzzled.

"We have been to the temple of the ancestral gods, but unfortunately you don't have the memory of that experience, the ancestors of Jiuli have a tradition of sacrificing to the gods, if this way is the reverence of the ancestral gods, it stands to reason that there should always be a inheritance, but in the temple of the ancestral gods, there is no such way, and in the architectural characteristics of the temple of the ancestral gods, there has never been a symmetrical double thing." I rubbed my forehead and said as I recalled.

"That is to say, this method did not exist in the Jiuli ancestors, but only after knowing and coming into contact with the location of the demon kingdom in the Western Jin Dynasty." Ye Jiuqing said.

Xue Xinrou lowered her head and pondered for a moment, and her voice was calm to tell us that the formation of any kind of religious belief takes an extremely long time, and religious culture will change over time, but it will only become more and more systematic and perfect.

However, the process and method of some sacrifices have rarely changed, because only the initial ritual is the purest and correct, and the only reasonable explanation for the appearance of this strange way in the Twin Cities of the Demon Kingdom is that after the ancestral god woke up in the Western Jin Dynasty, something very important and special should have happened, so that it can change the way of belief of the descendants of Jiuli in a short period of time.

"There's a mural next to it." Ye Jiuqing held up a flashlight and said.

The first mural depicts the whole picture of the twin cities of the Demon Kingdom, while the second mural makes us a little confused.

The mural records another place, the tone of the color is very deep, and that place resembles a dark palace, a man in gorgeous costumes, standing on a high platform, and below it are the descendants of Jiuli who are kneeling.

And at the top of the platform, there is a messy pattern, like some kind of sign.

I remember that after meeting Ye Zhiqiu in Guanzhong, she told us that there was an extremely bloody sacrifice in the Twin Cities of the Demon Kingdom, and just after that sacrifice ceremony was completed, the Twelve Ancestral Gods suddenly disappeared.

Religious belief and worship of gods have been formed for a long time, unless faith collapses, the gods will not disappear for no reason, you must know that the twelve ancestral gods have an eternal and indelible divinity in the hearts of Jiuli people.

But after the sacrificial ceremony, the god believed in by the descendants of Jiuli has only become one, and the god who has been re-enshrined is more divine, compared with the previous twelve ancestral gods, he has five senses, it can be seen that the twelve ancestral gods have never let the Jiuli people see their faces, and this god is more real.

"Could it be that the man standing in the second mural is the new god?" Speaking of which, I pointed to the man on the high platform and looked at the others.

"The twelve ancestral gods have supreme divinity in the hearts of Jiuli people, and the belief in the ancestral gods has not been wiped out for thousands of years, and in a short period of time, the twelve ancestral gods are replaced in itself It doesn't make sense, if the man on the high platform is a new god, it should also be replaced in the demon country, and the mural depicted in the mural is clearly another place." Xue Xinrou shook her head and denied my idea. "We all know that the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace and the Twelve Ancestral Gods both have the ability to clear their memories, why don't the men on the high platform go to the Demon Kingdom to accept worship, because he doesn't know where the Demon Kingdom is, and the gods will not forget the location of the Demon Kingdom, therefore, this root is not a new god, but another person we don't know."

"The priest is the messenger of the ancestral god, why does this mural appear in the ancient tomb of the priest?" Tian Ji asked.

"The key should be in the pattern on the high platform." After the palace lord finished speaking, he cautiously reached out and touched the mural.

He was slightly touched, and we were surprised to find that the pattern in the mural was actually inlaid in it, which could be rotated, and the pattern was composed of three prototype stone plates.

Click!

When the outermost stone plate was turned to the correct position, we heard the sound of the mechanism being activated, the stone wall behind us slowly opened, and a secret passage appeared in front of us, presumably Wen Ru left from here with Ye Zhiqiu.

We were overjoyed when we suddenly found the palace lord standing motionless in front of the fresco, his flashlight shining on the stone plate, and we were surprised to find that a complete pattern had been pieced together.

A fierce unicorn sitting with his head held high, covered in countless skulls, looked eerie and terrifying.

"Shouldn't the symbol of the ancestral god be a three-eyed unicorn, why did it become a skeleton unicorn again?" Xue Xinrou was puzzled.

The three-eyed unicorn is a symbol of the eye of the earth, but this symbol is given by the ancestral gods, I have seen the banner of the army of gods in the illusion, the three-eyed unicorn is the symbol of the gods, and it has an irreplaceable majesty in the hearts of the ancestors of Jiuli.

Gong Jue stared at the skeleton unicorn for a long time, and suddenly said in a calm voice: "Xinrou is right, this high platform is not a god at all, but a fox and a fake tiger person, he knows the weight of the three-eyed unicorn in the hearts of Jiuli people, so he uses the changed symbol to continue to rule the descendants of Jiuli, the unicorn has divinity, and the skeleton represents death, this person gives life and death to himself, although he is not a god, but he tries to become a god." ”

"The most troublesome thing is that I think this person should have done it, so much so that even the priest of Jiuli will worship this person's mural in the tomb, which shows that in the heart of the tomb owner, this person has the same lofty status as the ancestral god." Ye Jiuqing glanced back at the female corpse in the coffin.

This is the most reasonable explanation, but I can't figure it out, the only divine envoy of the Twelve Ancestral Gods is the Earth Eye, but the Earth Eye's duty is to find the whereabouts of the Nine Dragon Boat of the Moon Palace and the lost artifact, and there is absolutely no time to rule the descendants of Jiuli in this way.

After all, these people have no meaning to the Eye of the Earth, the only thing that is certain is that the person in the mural appeared after the disappearance of the Twelve Ancestral Gods, but this person is obviously not the Eye of the Earth.

It is impossible for a false god to rule the descendants of Jiuli just by relying on the symbol of the skeleton unicorn, what kind of ability does he have that will make the Jiuli people believe in it so much, even the priests of Jiuli are convinced?

There are some strange words underneath the mural, even Xue Xinrou is difficult to read, but I recognize it at a glance, because in the Temple of the Ancestral God, I have seen such words, these are the languages of the priests, and there are very few people who can interpret these words now.

I can still recognize the words in the first row, because the same words are inscribed at the entrance of the Temple of the Ancestral Gods.

Only those who have been chosen by God can enter.

This sentence is a hint that no one can easily approach the ancestral god, only a specific person can find the ancestral god temple and the demon kingdom twin cities, obviously, I should be the chosen one.

But I don't know what the words in the back mean, but there should be a very important reason for the inscription here, Xue Xinrou hurriedly took out her notebook and carefully copied all the words.
