Chapter 32: The Coming of God
"What are you doing? Kansa! Stern, who had been on his knees first, looked at him in surprise, thinking he was bowing to them. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Professor Morrill saw that Kansa seemed to be kneeling down to the statue, and suddenly remembered: "Ah! How did I forget, this Jielutu is also one of their gods! ”
"What?" Everyone looked at the professor in disbelief.
"Yes, Jieruta is also a god brought in by Hindu Brahmanism, the mount of Vishnu among the three major gods of Hinduism, and a god in Hindu mythology. It is said that it has great magical powers, and feeds on the snake Naga from birth to death, and many people in Southeast Asia worship Jielutu as a symbol of strength, so Kansa is probably one of them. ”
"I see, these Khmer gods are really diverse, unlike us, who only believe in one God." Donnie said disapprovingly.
But Anne was thoughtful and muttered to herself, "He will wait for God to come down and guide the path of reincarnation." ”
"Annie, what did you just say? Say it again! The professor heard a few words from Anne's mouth, and suddenly something important came to mind.
"Professor, it's one of the Sanskrit curses -- 'He will wait for the coming of God to guide the path of reincarnation,' and I always felt that there was something related to it."
"That's right, it's so relevant! As soon as we came out of Stonehenge, we saw Jieludi, and Jieluda is a god in both Hindu mythology and folk legend! That is to say, all the way we are going through the setting of this Sanskrit curse - the test of the tree god in the dark forest, the altar of Shiva Linga in the megalithma, and the guidance of the god of the road here! Don't...... Could it really be that there will be a path of reincarnation! ”
The professor tilted his head and turned his gaze to the top of the steep stone steps beside him, just in time to see the golden afterglow that diffused into the sky above Stonehenge.
"Could it be that the Brahmin theory of the cycle of life and death is true......" he spat out the words word by word, his eyes revealing irrepressible excitement.
Stern felt a little careless, even slightly disgusted, by the professor's sudden excitement! Because before that, every time the professor showed such a look, it was a sign that they were about to fall into a huge trouble.
So he said, "Now that we have made it out of Stonehenge with all our hard work, the next step is to think about how to get out of this reincarnation city!" I can't care about the rest, and since there's a stone staircase leading out there, we might as well go up and discuss how to get back into our real world! You're all have an opinion, right? ”
The professor's failure to speak seemed to acquiesce, and Anne analyzed the current situation and agreed to climb the stone steps before making plans, but in her heart she still hoped that the professor would make a decision. Not to mention Donnie, who has experienced this life-and-death adventure, wants to return to the real civilized world immediately, and Kansa is just right behind Stern.
So Stern looked up at the long stone steps, the surface of which was covered with tree roots, dead branches and leaves, and dark green moss covering the surface of the stone steps, which looked ancient and vicissitudes. He stepped calmly and forcefully onto the first boulder, the Knock ......
As soon as Stern stepped on the boulder, a low echo was heard, and he didn't care, and then took the second step......
"What's going on? How can there be an echo? Stern sensed something strange.
Boom... Boom......
Anne and the professor followed as they walked up the steps, and the muffled echoes grew denser.
"The stone steps are hollow? Or what is the reason? Anne tapped the stone in confusion, and made a dull echo as well.
"Perhaps this is a special stone step made by the ancient Khmer people, which can create a relatively large vibration echo to deter the power. Because in a sense, we are already on the path to godhood. ”
The professor suddenly said something that was confusing, but Stern couldn't care about it anymore and continued to step up, and the others followed suit.
Boom... Boom......
The steps echoed in a dull and messy way, and everyone was still not talking as they climbed the high, steep steps. The statues on both sides of the clifford had been staring at them coldly with their cold green pupils, looking very strange.
Donnie finally couldn't help but speak: "You... Did you notice that these statues were staring at us all the time? ”
"You don't care about it, it's just a statue, and if you don't look at it, it won't look at you." Stern said as he climbed, and he actually noticed it, because there was a statue of Jielutu on either side of each step, and when you looked at their green eyes, it was as if they were staring at people at the same time, and not just one, but every one in sight was like staring at people.
However, Stern thinks that as long as it is not a living thing, he doesn't care, but Donnie is different, the dull echo of the stone steps is a bit terrifying, and it is even more permeable to be stared at by dozens of pairs of green eyes.
"The cat's eye effect is like this, after the craftsman polishes the gem into a cabochon, if the gem is wrapped in a lot of small flat empty tube cracks or needle-like rutile inclusions, when the light hits the gemstone, these inclusions emit light intensively due to the different refractive indexes, and a bright and swimming (sparkling or living) band of light will appear on the arc surface. This band of light can change with the change of incoming light, so when we move, we see the cat's eye band in different positions. Under certain conditions, such as the special structure of the gemstone, or the deliberate polishing of the craftsman, it will create the effect that we see the band of light moving as we move. ”
Anne saw that Donnie was a little distracted, so she explained it to him in detail, meaning that he didn't have to pay too much attention to it.
"Needless to say, it's definitely another little trick of these brahmins!" Stern said nonchalantly.
Although Downey calmed down a little after Anne's detailed explanation, he still couldn't help but panic in his heart, and could only concentrate on climbing the stone steps, trying not to pay attention to the statues as much as possible.
But after a few minutes, Donnie began to knot his tongue again, "You... Listen, isn't the echo of the stone steps wrong? ”
"What's wrong? Don't you pay attention to it so much, and climb up and out of here at a faster pace, won't there be nothing? Stern, distraught by Donny's suspicious remarks from time to time, reprimanded him.
Downey felt a little aggrieved when Stern said this, because he did feel that the sound of the stone steps was wrong, but he couldn't describe it, and he was always worried that something weird would suddenly jump out here.
"Wait! I also sensed that Downey was right, the echo of the stone steps didn't seem right! Anne pricked up her ears and listened carefully.
Everyone, including Stern, immediately stopped climbing the stone steps and pricked up their ears to listen.
Stern asked Anne, "I didn't hear what was wrong!" ”
"No, when we were still climbing the stone steps, I just silently counted the echoes coming from the stone steps, and it seemed... It seems really... One more ......"
