Readx;?Top Recommendation:、、、、、、、
After walking dozens of meters on this road, it suddenly turned towards the mountain, the passage is not dark, there are two green pearls every few meters on both sides of the cave wall, although the light is not strong, but it is enough to see the surrounding environment clearly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Using the night pearl to illuminate, this is not a small hand, but then thinking about the identity of the owner here, it is very likely that it is the ancient gods, and I am relieved about it.
After entering the mountain, there began to be a crisscrossing of passages, and all of them were guarded, and I felt that it was not good at all, and if I were trapped here, it would be quite difficult to escape.
The buildings inside the hill have been around for an unknown number of years, and the passages are full of abstract patterns, in a quaint and mysterious style, completely different from the murals of any period I have seen. I've followed them through several floors, and I'm still walking down.
I couldn't help but sigh at the enormity of the mountain project, and as I walked, I asked the young man about the situation here, this huge complex of buildings in the mountain is called the Phoenix Temple, and he did not answer any other questions about me.
I tried to ask him about himself, but the boy was so cautious that he would hardly tell me anything, and only when I was annoyed by the questioning did he say his name.
The boy's name is Kazeshiro, and his name is simple and clear, but this surname is a little peculiar, and I asked him where he is from, but he only said that he is not from this place, and this answer surprised me a little, is he also the same as me, did he break in from the outside? But no matter how much I tried to knock on the side, he never responded.
Our group walked through another corridor, and walked down again, and I silently calculated in my heart that this was already the fifth floor, and according to the height of the building here, from the beginning of entering the passage, at least more than thirty meters down.
When we went down to the fifth floor, the guards at the door suddenly became stricter, and the guards on the first few floors only looked at us a few more times when they saw us, and did not come to check. The guards on this floor stopped in front of us, without giving way, and their costumes were completely different from those of the other layers of guards.
The other guards wore clothes made of animal skins, but these guards, like Fushiro, wore traditional hanfu and wore strange buns on their heads.
Without waiting for the guards to ask, Feng Shiro took out a palm-sized token from his arms, and the guard man led by him did not reach out to take it, but only took a symbolic look and nodded to let him go.
This layer is relatively unique, the width and height of the passage are more than ten meters, every other distance, there will be tall stone pillars on both sides of the passage, these stone pillars are carved with ancient dragon-shaped totems, the carving is delicate, and the forms are different.
When I passed through this passage, a huge space suddenly opened up in front of me. It is a large hall like a fully enclosed stadium, with a vaulted dome without a single pillar and a tall statue in the center, which is a symbol of the Phoenix Temple.
The statue is a lifelike phoenix, and the king of birds is portrayed extremely expressively, especially the momentum of looking at the world, which makes people can't help but be impressed from the bottom of their hearts, and even have an urge to bow and worship.
This feeling seems to come from the eyes of the phoenix statue, I don't know what material its eyes are made of, even if you stand on the edge of the main hall, you can clearly feel that breathtaking aura.
The Phoenix Temple really lives up to its name, and just by this imposing statue, you can see that the strength of this organization is extraordinary. Kazeshiro didn't lead us on, but walked around the outside of the main hall, as if he was deliberately avoiding the range of the statue, and he didn't know what his intentions were.
As I walked, I observed the furnishings of the main hall, and the base of the statue was very unique, not a very regular square or circle, but a thick and low ancient tree, if I didn't guess, it should be a plane tree.
When I went around to the side, I noticed that there was a square tripod in front of the statue, but the color of the dome was similar to that of the plane tree, so I ignored it just now.
When I saw this giant tripod, I couldn't help but think of the giant tripods I had encountered before, their specifications seemed to be similar, could this tripod also be one of the nine tripods that land, sea and air were looking for? Thinking of the special geographical location of this place, I don't know how to judge for a while, because so far, the information I have obtained is all what Kadoshiro said, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. Whether this place really belongs to the vicinity of Kunlun Mountain remains to be further confirmed.
Passing the phoenix statue all the way, the walls on the outer edge of the main hall are frescoes of groups of myths and legends. In the middle of this group of frescoes, there are many stone doors, and since these doors are all closed, it is not known what is inside.
At the back of the main hall, there was a gate with a complex pattern, and when we approached, the door suddenly "creaked" open.
Two green-shirted guards walked out from behind the door, and when they saw Feng Shiro, they hugged their fists together and said, "Hello young city lord!" "This is the first time I've heard someone say Chinese, but this title surprises me a little, this Feng Shiro is actually a young city lord, what does this mean? Does he own a city?
Feng Shiro clenched his fists and saluted back: "Please inform the two of you, Shiro brought back a messenger of destiny at the altar and asked the goddess to distinguish the authenticity." ”
I know that the messenger he is talking about is me, and although I don't know what this messenger of destiny does, I don't plan to talk nonsense with him anymore, and I will say hello when I see that goddess. As soon as I thought of the bewitching face of the goddess, I couldn't help but feel my heart beat faster, and I hurriedly recited the Diamond Sutra silently to dispel distracting thoughts.
One of the guards said, "Please wait a moment, young city lord." After saying that, he turned around and walked back, and looked at me carefully before leaving.
After a while, the guard came back and said to Feng Shilang, "Elder Yan said that the Divine Woman is not here, and the Messenger of Heavenly Destiny will hand it over to him. ”
Feng Shiro nodded and said, "Since that's the case, Feng will leave first." ”
Without even looking at me, he turned and left.
The guard sideways out of the way and said to me with a straight face, "Follow me." ”
Although I am very dissatisfied with his attitude, I can only follow him inside, now it is a man who is a knife and I am a fish, it is better to take one step at a time, and I can only see the moves. The man walked steadily, but not at all slow, and I ran a few steps after him, but the guards with spears did not follow.
Inside the gate is a wide jade shadow wall, carved with a huge picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix, the image of the phoenix is the same as the statue outside, the same makes me feel a proud momentum of the world, the phoenix eyes do not know what gems are inlaid, although they can not shine, but they also appear to shine.
Bypassing the shadow wall, there are several narrow corridors behind, and the escort leads the way into the innermost corridor, which is also lined with many stone chambers, and some of the stone chambers are still loud, some like the low roar of wild beasts.
The man quickly reached the end of the cloister, and stood in front of a stone door waiting for me, and when I got to the door, he had gently pushed the door open, revealing a dark cave behind it.
At the watch's signal, I entered the door, and when the guard closed the stone door, the cave was dark. This change caught me a little off guard, and I quickly pulled out the Tiangang sword to protect it in front of me, and then touched the cave wall on the left, and before the guards closed the door, I saw the environment here by the light outside.
After leaning my back against the cave wall, I immediately went to get the thermal imaging camera and was ready to find out what was going on here. I really didn't expect that they would play yin with me and trick me into being locked up here, and I couldn't help but feel a wave of resentment in my heart.
However, before I could take out the thermal imager, there was a sudden sound of "Bang Bang!!" Then my eyes suddenly lit up. The light came from the cave wall, and just not far away, a light came on every two or three meters.
The bright yellow lampshade is translucent, and I can't see what the light source inside is, but when I see this kind of lighting, I immediately think of the everlasting lights in the dungeon, the kind of sensor lights that I don't know what to use as fuel, which has always been fresh in my memory.
I'm no longer surprised by this kind of ever-bright lamp, because I've seen it so many times that I've lost my curiosity. Seeing that there was no danger around me, I began to observe the situation around me.
This is a pure natural cave, not even a little decoration, there is no other thing in the cave except the lights, the width is only two or three meters, it looks a little like a passage, the cave is more than ten meters away and turns to the left, just now the sound came from that direction.
I cautiously arrived at the corner, and although I had been prepared, seeing the situation in front of me still made my heart jerk, and I couldn't help but take a step back.
