Gong Jue followed the direction of the sound to take us forward, the architectural planning of Lingshan Jincheng has the characteristics of its own ethnic group, retaining the most primitive cultural style of the Wu people, the whole ancient city is square, and there is a road paved with gold to the center of the ancient city on each side.

We walked along the Golden Avenue and soon saw a magnificent palace, which was built in the most central location of the Lingshan Golden City, and all the golden avenues in all directions led to here.

Then I saw the witch tribe who had followed us back here, and under the leadership of the old woman, they knelt down step by step, worshipping reverently and respectfully on the golden steps, and bowed down to the magnificent palace.

Presumably this should be the snake god palace mentioned by the Wu clan, the whole hall is located on a platform made of huge stones up to tens of meters high, the outside is inlaid with warm white jade, and the four sides are surrounded by tall golden pillars to form a majestic colonnade.

It is carved with a coiled serpent, mysterious and majestic, and all the steps are decorated in undulating waves, carefully distinguishing the scales that represent the snake, and the entire upward step resembles a giant snake.

"Look here." The field chicken squatted on the ground, and at the entrance of the steps, there was a circular pattern.

We removed the weeds from above, it was a huge snake that was devouring its own tail, and as a result, a ring was formed, and in the circle was the Lingshan Golden City where we are now.

"The Lingshan Wu Clan is based on the giant snake as their worldview, and in their belief, everything is created by the snake." Xue Xinrou was very excited, pointing to the pattern and explaining to us. "The snake shape of biting head and tail, this is a very primitive symbol, and it is called a biting snake in the archaeological world."

"What is a biter?" I asked curiously.

Xue Xinrou explained to us unhurriedly that in many religions, the snake god represents wisdom, while the biting snake represents the cycle of immortality, which is an extremely high civilization symbol, in which everything can be repeated over and over again.

"To put it simply, it's immortality." Xue Xinrou explained.

"This is in line with the characteristics of the Moon Palace Nine Dragon Boat, and it seems that wherever this ship is, it can live forever." Tian Ji smiled bitterly.

"No, you haven't realized the most special thing about Lingshan." Xue Xinrou shook her head and said to us seriously. "The biting snake is very primitive, and it appeared quite early, dating back thousands of years, that is, before the Moon Palace Nine Dragons Boat appeared in Lingshan, the ethnic groups here already had their own religious beliefs and worshiped gods."

"But, but the Temple of the Snake God was built after the appearance of the Nine Dragons Boat in the Moon Palace?" The palace lord looked surprised.

"What is the symbol of the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace?" Xue Xinrou asked rhetorically.

"Feathered Dragon." I replied.

"We've been in contact with the Wu Clan for so long, and we've arrived in Lingshan Golden City, have you found any patterns related to the feather dragon in what we've seen here?"

……

We were stunned, Xue Xinrou said this, we also realized this unusual place, except for the Wu people who recognized the feather dragon in my necklace, but we have not found anything related to the feather dragon, and so far, we have not touched the traces left by the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace in Lingshan.

"There is a reason for the formation of any belief, the Lingshan Wu clan reveres the snake as a god, which was formed before the appearance of the Nine Dragons Boat in the Moon Palace, although their totem has been changed by the influence of the feather dragon, but their belief has not changed, in the heart of the Wu clan, the belief is still the snake god." Xue Xinrou drew a dragon and a snake in her notes, and then told us. "Dragons and snakes are similar in many places, it can be said that the dragon is another posture of the snake, and when the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace appeared, the Wu clan saw the feathered dragon, but in their eyes, it was just another snake god."

"You, do you mean to say that the Lingshan Witch Clan doesn't believe in the Nine Dragon Boats of the Moon Palace?" I was taken aback.

"Yes, there must be a very important reason why this ancient tribe firmly believes in snakes as gods." Xue Xinrou nodded with great certainty.

"Just go up and take a look, what the Moon Palace Nine Dragons Boat needs is a dock to moor, just like the Kunlun Golden Gate and the Vientiane Shrine, if the Temple of the Snake God is built by the Lingshan Wu Clan for the Moon Palace Nine Dragons Boat, how can you find traces of mooring inside." Ye Jiuqing said unhurriedly.

We walked up the stairs and into the temple to see the witches kneeling on the ground, the old women dancing with their hands and singing the ancient language in awe and respect.

The sunlight shone down from the courtyard of the palace and fell right on the statue of the god worshipped by the Witches, and we had to look up to see the golden statue, which turned out to be a giant serpent with an upright body coiled around it.

Vivid, mysterious, majestic, looking down at us in the main hall, we have never found the slightest connection with the feathered dragon on this giant snake shining with golden light.

"Actually, what Xinrou said is not unreasonable, how big is the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, we have already seen it in Kunlun Jinque, although this temple of the snake god is magnificent, it can't moor such a big ship." The palace lord said thoughtfully.

"There is a relief pattern under the statue of the giant serpent." Ye Jiuqing made a discovery after walking around the statue.

We hurriedly gathered around, the relief should be recorded in the construction process of the temple of the snake god, one of the reliefs surprised us, it should be after the completion of the construction of the temple of the snake god, a huge snake coiled around the palace, and the bottom is full of worship and pious witch clans.

"Why is this statue not worshipped in the palace, but outside the palace?" Tian Ji scratched his head and muttered to himself.

"Could it be because before the palace was completed, the statue was placed outside, first used to be worshipped, and then placed inside the palace?" I'm a little confused.

"That's not right!" Xue Xinrou shook her head, walked back and forth a few steps, and stopped in front of us and said. "The person who came out of Lingshan told the caravan that he had to rush back to Lingshan to participate in the sacrifice once every three hundred years, in order to see the snake god again, I didn't care about what he said before, but now I think about it carefully, there may be other meanings."

"What do you mean?" Tian Ji asked.

"If you say that the snake god in this person's mouth refers to this golden statue of the giant snake, since he can see it at any time in Lingshan." Xue Xinrou replied with a serious face. "Why did he say that he would see the snake god again?"

"That is, this man is not looking for this golden statue......" I was suddenly stunned, and slowly looked up at the giant serpent looking down on us, and the corners of my mouth squirmed. Could it be that there really is such a giant snake in Lingshan?! ”

Xue Xinrou was suddenly stunned, nodded dumbfounded, and kept shaking her fingers and couldn't speak excitedly: "Yes, yes, I said before that there is a reason for the formation of any belief, the reason why the Lingshan Wu Clan unswervingly believes in the snake god is because they have seen a huge snake, so in their worldview, the snake is the god who created everything." ”

"And this snake appears once every three hundred years!" The palace lord suddenly realized, but soon frowned again. "No matter how old this snake is, no matter how big this snake is, I want to know, why does this snake have the human nature and know that it appears every three hundred years?"

"In the Vientiane Divine Palace, why can the Bloodtail Emperor Scorpion be controlled by you?" I looked at the palace lord and asked.

"And, what does it have to do with me?" The palace lord looked dazed.

"The bloodtail emperor scorpion can be controlled, why can't the snake......"

I lowered my head and thought about it and said slowly, the Lingshan Wu Clan believes in snakes as gods, and after the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace arrives at Lingshan, it is necessary to build a dock to prevent the tracking of the twelve ancestral gods, but to drive this group that believes in the snake god, the first thing is to control or ......

"Or create a snake that conforms to the beliefs of the Lingshan Wu Clan!" The more I spoke, the more firm my voice became. "This is the same reason as the twelve ancestral gods created the bronze Chiyou to control the ancestors of Jiuli, this snake has become a tool for the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace to control the Lingshan Wu Clan, in order to prove the existence of miracles, this snake will appear once every three hundred years."

"Chaoge's statement makes sense, but the problem is that since this snake is used to control the Lingshan Witch Clan, the most urgent need for the Moon Palace Nine Dragons Boat is a dock to moor." Tian Ji looked back and forth, confused. "I don't think the construction of this temple of the snake god will be small, and the Wu people have also said that this palace and the cave of the sacred mountain have taken a hundred years, why should the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace let the Lingshan Wu Clan build this palace that has no effect for no reason?"

"Xinrou, there are still inscriptions here, what do you see what these words record?" Ye Jiuqing squatted on the pedestal under the statue and said loudly.

We hurriedly gathered around, Xue Xinrou half-knelt on the ground, took out a magnifying glass to identify and translate, and after a long time told us that the above words were divine decrees, and they could also be seen as warnings from the snake god.

In warning all the Wu clans in the Spirit Mountain, they must never immediately be protected by the snake god, otherwise this race will suffer a catastrophe.

After Xue Xinrou finished translating, we were surprised to realize that this was probably not just a warning from God, but finally turned into a fact, next to these words, there is another relief, through the pattern on it, we can roughly see the whole picture of the entire Lingshan, and the river map maze we passed before is the appearance of a biting snake.

And the so-called scope of God's blessing is to warn all the witch clans not to leave this labyrinth without authorization, presumably, the person went out of the labyrinth by mistake fifty years ago, but the result was fulfilled God's warning, and the entire Lingshan witch clan was punished by God.

The entire group died suddenly and mysteriously overnight, but the truth of the matter, something must have happened to cause so many people to die at the same time, and this secret should still be hidden in this ancient city......
