Chapter Eighty-Four: The Temple of the Forbidden Land

Gong Jue pulled me up from the ground, Tian Ji squatted next to the fallen magic flower mantis, kicked a few times with his foot, the general's marksmanship was really amazing, and he actually hit the mantis in the eye accurately in a fleeting moment, and pus and blood mixed with black juice flowed from the triangular helmet.

"You've been in a war?" The palace lord asked with a smile of convincingness.

"Nonsense, when I killed the Japanese, but there was no such a good thing, I was able to use the old Maozi's Mosinagan rifle is already a creation, and the tactical literacy of the Japanese thief is really not bad, the cat shows a steel helmet on the ground, but there is a five-pointed star in the middle, at that time, the bullet was expensive, I will focus on that place, and knock down one with one shot." The general spat a little and wiped his crosshairs on his hands.

"I didn't expect my predecessors to be heroes." Tian Ji stood up with a military salute with reverence on his face. "Salute."

"Pull it down, Lao Tzu is not so noble, the Japanese are blocking the way to wealth, if you don't kill them, I'll drink the northwest wind." The general glanced at Tian Ji and pointed to the Chuntian gun in his hand. "You are still a soldier, what submachine gun to choose, the firepower is small, the accuracy is not accurate, it is suitable for close combat, if we are on the battlefield, you have already been put by me before you arrive."

"Uncle Wei, why haven't I heard you mention these things?" It is estimated that only Ye Zhiqiu still remembers that the general's name is Wei Hu, and she has always been called the general like this. "Why do you keep smearing your gun with saliva?"

"Little girl, how many times have you been at home, and you haven't even figured out your father's affairs, and you can still know about my Chen sesame rotten grains." The general shook his head and smiled at Ye Zhiqiu, and he could still see the general smiling in front of Ye Zhiqiu. "At that time, I was digging graves in the Northeast, and the crosshairs of the cold gun were easy to freeze, and I had to break the ice before shooting, which was a habit that I would develop."

Tian Ji was very embarrassed to maintain the military salute, I couldn't cry and laugh next to me, and pulled his hand down: "He is a reckless man who makes a fortune from the dead, you have to think of him as a hero who is loyal to the country, don't you look for it yourself." ”

The general ignored me, squatted beside the Demon Flower Mantis who was killed by him and checked for a long time, took out a cigarette and rolled a cigarette while saying: "This thing is very evil, I admit it when it is big, and there is bronze armor and helmet on it, even if it is a demon, it is not so powerful." ”

The mantis was dressed in bronze armor that was just the right size, full of bullet holes but impenetrable, its front body was completely covered by armor, almost invulnerable, and even its huge forearms were equipped with two bronze knives full of serrated edges.

"The armor and weapons on these praying mantis are artificially installed." I flipped the mantis's corpse a few times and said hesitantly. "In other words, these magic flower mantis were deliberately placed in this place."

"The shape and craftsmanship of these bronzes have a long history, and it should be the same period as the bronze masks obtained by Mr. Liao." Wen Ru's expression was affirmative after inspecting the bronze armor. "These magic flower mantis guards here for thousands of years, to say the least."

I secretly took a deep breath in my heart, what kind of people can raise these weird and ferocious praying mantises, can wear armor and install weapons on the mantises, and for such a long time, this group of demon flower mantis has not left the depths of this primeval forest, it can be seen that they have been domesticated, and like the descendants of the Jiuli tribe who stayed outside the forest, they are guarding the mysterious forbidden land of the gods.

"How can this thing be said to be a swarm of insects, how can it be tamed?" Ye Zhiqiu was puzzled.

I didn't speak to Gong Jue and Tian Ji, so far we have seen more bizarre and weird monsters than this, it seems that anything related to the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace is not normal.

"According to the craftsmanship of the time, the smelted bronze was not enough to withstand the fire of today's bullets, but the forging skills of these bronzes obviously exceeded the level of the time." Wen Ru frowned and said suspiciously. "I'm more curious about who domesticated and made these bronzes than these magic praying mantises, and if our dating is correct, then the appearance of these bronzes can overturn a lot of archaeological history."

"It's not that complicated for me to think." The general lit a rolled cigarette and glanced back at the drawbridge that we had cut down. "I'm just thinking about how we're going to get back."

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and since there is no turning back, I have to go forward." Compared with the praying mantis or the bronze age, Liao Kai is more concerned about the treasures that belong to him.

However, after encountering the attack of the Demon Flower Mantis, Scar and his people did not dare to venture forward anymore, and searched and advanced step by step, and after walking for two days, the trees in front of us became thicker and thicker, and Ye Zhiqiu soon found that these were maple trees, and they could grow so big, to say the least, for hundreds of years.

We look at the red leaves of the forest, the forest is dyed, in full swing, the red and yellow maple leaves with strong colors, the goddess scatters flowers and flutters down colorfully, like a colorful mountain forest picture, all the colors are as if dyed by blood rich and poignant.

"Blood Maple Forest!" Wen Ru looked up with a happy expression. "It is said that after Chi You died in battle, his body and blood turned into a blood maple forest, which is also the reason why the Jiuli people revere the maple, there are so many thousand-year-old maples here, it should be deliberately planted by someone, the maple is the holy tree of the Jiuli people, there are so many thousand-year-old maples here, it is no accident that there must be other reasons."

"Found it!" The voice came from in front of us, the man with the scar crouching on the ground, the voice excited and excited.

We hurriedly ran over, and saw a dried corpse on the ground, the clothes outside were tattered, and there was a skeleton of a mule and horse beside him, pressed from the rotten wooden box to the skeleton, Liao Kai excitedly brushed away the crushed sawdust, and a square covered with fallen leaves and dust was exposed in front of our eyes.

Liao Kai gently brushed off the things on it, and the thick square under the sun shone with golden light, it turned out to be a thick gold nugget, the corners of Liao Kai's eyes twitched a few times involuntarily, and he was completely speechless with excitement.

Forty years ago, Liao Gaogu and more than 100 people really came here, and the treasures that were priceless were also left in this place.

"And ...... There are many more, hurry up and find them. Liao Kai seemed to have forgotten the danger he had encountered before, his greedy eyes lit up, and he commanded Scar loudly.

"Wait." Liao Kai was interrupted by the general's short voice, and he crouched down next to the corpse, and saw a sharp object peeking through the corpse's back.

The general turned the corpse over, and there was an arrow stuck in the corpse's chest, and after decades of wind and rain, the shaft and feathers of the arrow had rotted, and only the sharp tip of the arrow remained in the corpse's body.

"Be careful, people who came here forty years ago were attacked." The general clenched his gun and alertly reminded us.

I looked at the corpse on the ground in confusion, if it was intercepted and killed, it must have come for Liao Gaogu's treasure, but why is the gold nugget still left here?

Even if Liao Kai wants to get this treasure that should belong to him again, he obviously values it more than his life, and nodded at Scar, who immediately led people to separate guards in the woods, and the more we walked, the more corpses we found, and gold and silver nuggets scattered on the ground abounded, these corpses were killed by arrows, some were slashed by knives and axes, and some could even clearly see broken skulls and fragmented wreckage.

There are also guns and ammunition discarded on the ground at will, and we are equipped, the general picked up a few guns and checked, and found that the magazines were full, that is to say, these people were slaughtered before they even had time to shoot, the general said that Liao Gaogu should have encountered an ambush forty years ago, and there were quite a few people, so that more than 100 well-equipped people could lose their armor and be killed and injured all over the field.

Scar and his men were so engrossed in their surroundings that the slightest movement in the woods could terrify them.

"Judging from the location of these corpses, most of them were attacked from behind, and they were scattered, presumably they were killed from behind while fleeing, and they should have been ambushed in front." The general said to us as he looked at the corpse on the ground. "Keep along, if there is danger, Zhiqiu will stand inside, and the others will stand on their backs to cover the people behind them."

We nodded, we all followed behind the general, and when we looked back, Ye Zhiqiu was still supporting Wen Ru every step of the way, and scolded secretly in our hearts, just because her heart was sold, maybe she would have to help the number of people, this teacher is really good, as long as she is there, she will go all out to protect Wen Ru's safety.

Walking along the way of the corpses, when we walked through the maple forest, a vacant place appeared in front of us, a majestic and magnificent building appeared in front of us, its main body is made of stone in a circle, I did not expect to see such a magnificent building in this inaccessible deep mountain.

"This is the temple!" Wen Ru took a step forward excitedly. "Miao Village in the Miao Xinjiang region will have its own temple, which is used to worship the ancestors, and the shape is similar to here, but it is far less big than this temple."

We cautiously walked into the temple in the middle of the blood maple forest, and it was not difficult to see from the moss and vines that the temple had gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes, and the broken stones and dusty and leafy ground showed a golden glow, and these places wrapped in gold and silver leaf seemed to tell us of the golden splendor of this place.

Walking into the temple, the light is very dim, look up and see a large dome, there is a large circular hole in the middle of the dome, this is the only light outlet in the temple, there are hollow lines on the dome, the light shines down from above, a huge three-eyed unicorn pattern appears in the middle of the gloomy temple, there is a kind of mystery and depression that is shocking to the heart of heaven and man.

There are inscribed lines on the ground of the temple that are inlaid with gold leaf, although they are weathered and broken, but Wen Ru recognized from those lines that it is similar to the Miao text, which shows that the Miao people's writing originated from the Jiuli people, and Wen Ru recognized it for a long time and pronounced it word by word in his mouth.

Kabo Yaroyi!

All of us looked at those words in shock, Liao Haiqing and the old man who died suddenly turned out to have seen this sentence from here, they should be able to recognize Miao Wen, but they didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

The priest said that the three-eyed unicorn represents the ancestral god of Jiuli, and Kabo Yaroyi is the language of the priests, which translates to the temple of the ancestral god, and it turns out that this temple has always been built in the forbidden land of the Jiuli people.
