Walking into the passage, I stood in place, raised my head and slowly opened my mouth in astonishment, a majestic and solemn bronze statue stood inside, the bronze shone with a strong and solemn light in the firelight, and the shape of the statue was exactly the same as the eleven outside.

The only difference is the mask on the bronze statue, which is still glittering gold, but the pattern on it is a three-eyed unicorn, which is the totem of the ancestral god, and we have finally found the origin of this pattern.

This is a pattern exclusive to this bronze statue, and as with the legend of Jiuli, there are a total of twelve ancestral gods enshrined in the temple, and it is clear that this unusual bronze statue is the head of the gods.

This god's status is even higher than the eleven outside, which is probably the god that made the three-eyed unicorn appear in the first place, as revered and mysterious as his identity.

The closer I got to the bronze statue, the more sober the sound in my ears became, and I couldn't help but walk forward, feeling as if the statue was calling to me.

"The three-eyed unicorn should be a symbol belonging to the ancestral god of Jiuli, and it is worshiped as a totem of the god by the Jiuli clan, which means ......" Ye Zhiqiu frowned and looked up at us for a long time. The Three-Eyed Qilin Totem and the Nine Li Ancestral Gods appeared thousands of years ago. ”

I stopped and frowned, Ye Jiuqing told me that the three-eyed unicorn is called the eye of the earth, and it belongs to an organization whose identity and background are extremely mysterious, and the leader of these twelve people is the eye of the earth, which is also marked by the three-eyed unicorn.

Obviously, these people are following the secret of the Jiuli Ancestral God, borrowing the totem of the god to cover up their identity, presumably the Earth Eye knows the legend of the Jiuli Ancestor God, Ye Jiuqing said that the twelve people who entered the Earth Eye are passed down from generation to generation, that is to say, they have been continuing the secret of the Jiuli Ancestor God.

But what do they have to do with the man who killed my father? Ye Jiuqing said that the eyes of the earth have been looking for a lost relic for generations, could it be that this temple is being found?

I quickly shook my head secretly and denied this idea, the Eye of the Earth has been passed down from generation to generation and has the ability that even Ye Jiuqing sighed to himself, we can find here, and the Eye of the Earth can also find it, not to mention that the biggest secret in this temple is not a secret at all for the Eye of the Earth, and the Eye of the Earth is looking for another unknown place.

"Don't tell me these are also carved from jade?" Tian Ji took a step forward, and his voice was a little excited.

In front of the bronze statue is a row of colorful and coherent statues, the crystal clear statue in the firelight refracts fluorescence, like a picture scroll presented in front of our eyes, I am amazed, I did not expect that thousands of years ago Jiuli people mastered such exquisite jade carving skills.

Zhao Yan told me that the most difficult skill in jade carving is the yin and yang relief, and the group of jade carvings in front of us that is more than ten meters long, since it is all made of yin and yang reliefs, they are as fine as a chain between each other, which is commonly known as jade carving chain work, exquisite craftsmanship, clear and slender, can be called a stunt,

This group of statues is neat and neat, clear and concise, the lines are slender and detailed, the whole device is interlocking, the circle is chained, the shape is small and big, and there is movement in the stillness, which is extraordinarily colorful and exquisite.

We carefully looked at the statue from left to right, and gradually found that this more than 10-meter-long statue actually recorded the rise and fall of the Jiuli people.

The first thing that appeared in front of us was eleven tall people standing left and right, no men or women could be seen from the shape, and there was no face like the statue outside, and on the throne between these people, a person sat high on it, and below it was a lot of people wearing Jiuli costumes and bowing down in good faith.

"This should be worshipping the ancestral gods of Jiuli, have you found that the costumes of these twelve ancestral gods are different from those of the Jiuli people." Ye Zhiqiu looked at it for a long time and said confusedly. "And...... Why are these twelve ancestral gods so tall? ”

"Could it be mythologized, after all, in the hearts of the Jiuli people, these eleven are ancestral gods, tall and mighty, in line with the characteristics of gods." Gong Jue said.

"I don't think so, the whole jade carving is exquisite and exquisite." Wen Ru shook his head and pointed at the jade carving. "Even a piece of grass and trees are subtle, it can be seen that the carving is extremely careful, this is a jade carving enshrined in the temple, it should be very rigorous, and there will be absolutely no problem of disproportion."

"Don't talk about it, according to what you say, the statue outside is five meters high, do you mean that the Jiuli Ancestor God is a five-meter-tall giant?" Tian Ji asked, pointing outside.

"Don't you think everything in this temple is unusually big? Even the steps and passages, and those stone chambers. Wen Ru asked rhetorically.

I frowned, what Wen Ru said made sense, it did make us a little uncomfortable here, but such a tall person was indeed a bit exaggerated: "It doesn't matter to us whether we are tall or not, anyway, we are not in this temple, and there is no way to confirm it, not to mention that what we want to confirm is the existence of the Jiuli Ancestral God, and nothing else matters." ”

Ye Zhiqiu nodded unwillingly, we then looked to the right, and then the jade carving showed us the picture of the Jiuli people smelting bronze to make weapons, the twelve ancestral gods looked down on these devout believers, and next to him a warrior wearing armor and a double-horned helmet, like a bull-headed human body, kneeling on the ground, with a humble and respectful attitude, raised a mask with a three-eyed unicorn pattern.

"The one who bows down is Chiyou!" Wen Ru recognized it at a glance and looked very excited. "The description of Chi You in the literature mostly uses copper heads and iron arms, invulnerable, and it is also three heads and six arms, which may be the reason for these rumors, Chi You wore extremely advanced armor at the time, so it will be invulnerable, and you see, Chi You's helmet is like a bull's head, and from a distance, Chi You looks like a bull's head and a human body, plus the armor has a beast head pattern, so it is misrepresented as three heads and six arms."

"At that time, the Jiuli people were able to smelt bronze and forge weapons?" Tian Ji asked.

"The age of the appearance of bronze is in line with the time of the rise of the Jiuli people, but it was not until the Xia Shang Zhou to the Qin and Han dynasties that the development of bronze reached its peak, from the pattern of jade carving, the Jiuli people mastered the bronze skills a long time ago, this discovery is really shocking." Ye Zhiqiu was excited.

"Chi You was respected as the master of the army by later generations, the biggest reason in addition to being brave and good at fighting, is that he was the first to use weapons, although the archaeological history has not been confirmed, but it has been mentioned in many documents, the most complete record is that Chi You used gold as a weapon, gold at that time refers to bronze, it can be seen that this rumor is true." Wen Ru nodded and said.

"Then why did Chiyou offer the mask of the three-eyed unicorn to the Twelve Ancestral Gods?" Tian Ji asked.

"It's not an offering, it's a gift!" I was somewhat shocked and didn't say anything for a long time. "It was the ancestral god who taught the Jiuli people the skills of smelting bronze and building weapons, so as the leader of Jiuli, Chiyou will present the three-eyed unicorn mask to the ancestral god, which is the reverence and gratitude to the gods, Jiuli believes in witchcraft and worships ghosts and gods, presumably it began at this time."

"Could it be ......" Before Tian Ji could speak, Gong Jue glared at him beside him, and Tian Ji hurriedly closed his mouth.

I know what Tian Ji wants to say, we have seen such a scene in another place, but it is not Chi You who has benefited, but the Yellow Emperor, in the ice sculpture murals of Kunlun Jinque, the Yellow Emperor was unable to compete with the well-equipped Jiuli army led by Chi You at first, and the reason why the Yellow Emperor finally defeated Chi You was to get the Dragon Armor Divine Medal given by the Nine Heavens Xuannu.

I can't question the authenticity of the Nine Heavens Xuannu and the Dragon Armor Divine Chapter, because we have indeed seen the same pattern in the Kunlun Golden Gate as in the myths and legends, and in the process of searching for the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, we have never touched the mysterious treasure ship, but my greatest gain is to confirm the truth of the myth again and again.

Continue to look to the right, the jade carving presents a magnificent and tragic and grand war pattern, the twelve ancestral gods stand on the top of the mountain, the person wearing the three-eyed unicorn mask in the middle majestically waves his arms, and the Jiuli army under the mountain is led by the brave and warlike Chiyou, and the siege is invincible.

This jade carving uses red jade, more realistically reproduces the tragic scene of the blood flowing into the river at that time, the whole earth is like being stained with blood, the roaring Chiyou expressively embodies the ferocity of the soldier master, the Jiuli army behind him fearlessly slashed and killed, and the enemy who fled everywhere was chased and reluctantly killed.

"The Jiuli tribe quickly launched a war against other tribes after it grew stronger, and used it to expand, which was unprecedentedly powerful at that time, which also made Chiyou powerful in the world, and the jade carving here should reproduce the scene of Chiyou's conquest that year, and it is recorded in the literature that Chiyou brutally killed no way, it seems that it is not groundless." Ye Zhiqiu said.

"Do you think Chiyou started the war?" The palace lord was dismissive on the side.

"Isn't this jade carving just enough to prove that protracted war." Ye Zhiqiu argued with reason.

"Chi You is the leader of Jiuli, since he is the one who launched the campaign." Gong Jue's hand pointed to the twelve ancestral gods standing on the mountain. "Then what do they mean here, the person wearing the three-eyed unicorn in the middle is obviously the head of the ancestral god, what does this person mean by waving his hand?"

"That'...... So what do you mean by that? Ye Zhiqiu was speechless for a while.

"The pawns are all the pawns of the ancestral gods." Gong Jue looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said lightly. "Haven't you seen that this war that happened in ancient times was not provoked by the Jiuli people, but it was the Jiuli people who fulfilled the divine will of the ancestral gods, and it was their ancestral gods who started this war, which is also the reason why the ancestral gods taught the Jiuli people the skills of smelting bronze and building weapons."

"Why? Why did these twelve men go to war? Ye Zhiqiu was still puzzled and asked.

"It's thousands of years ago, you ask me, I ask who to go, aren't you an archaeologist, you should know more about these than I do." There was an uninhibited evil smile on the corner of Gong Jue's mouth, and I rubbed my head weakly, he seemed to dig a pit at any time as long as he seized the opportunity to let Ye Zhiqiu jump into it. "What's more, these are all gods, how do I know what God is thinking."
