Chapter 41 First Visit to the Monuments
That's right, the ancient complex that first appeared on the table of the clubhouse, and then took the form of a mirage, and was inlaid with blue meteorite in the walls of the tunnel.
It was really unexpected, I thought it was an illusory realm that appeared in some ancient legend, but at this moment my eyes told me that this was real.
However, since we walked into the painting, the world we live in is still inconclusive, and it is not known whether what we see with our eyes is a fantasy scene, but compared with the nightmare that makes no sense everywhere before, it is obviously much more real.
The back door of the wolf's den is open in the innermost part of a cave, the cave is very ordinary, nothing special, and it is not deep, the distance from the entrance of the cave to the door is only six or seven meters, and Yan Qiu and I have already stood at the entrance of the cave in just a few words.
Now the whole complex is only separated from us by a wide and shallow river, and the old tree that is dry and blackened is only across the bank from the two of us.
The fly in the ointment is that we can no longer see the splendor of the whole complex, because this majestic temple has long since collapsed everywhere, turning into a ruined wall, like construction waste dumped in the valley, from the top of the opposite mountain wall to the ground.
Due to the large size, I couldn't see the whole picture clearly, and I could only vaguely see the seven-story Linglong Stupa at the top, although it was still standing there, it was already full of devastation, and it must have leaked from all sides.
The four people behind us also walked out, and when they saw this scene, the fat brother first sighed: "Is there really a zĂ i in this place?" One size bigger than I thought. â
I also nodded heartily, it is indeed bigger than I imagined, it originally felt like the Potala Palace's grand complex, but I didn't expect it to be more than twice as big as the Potala Palace. The path used to go up the mountain alone is at least ten meters wide, and all the proportions of the buildings seem to be for giants, which is much larger than the high-rise buildings we see in our lives.
"Is this for those large dead werewolves?" Jiang Li wondered.
"What big werewolf?" Jiang Rou didn't know about our previous identification of the bones of the ancient battlefield, so she asked.
I explained to Jiang Rou: "You have also walked through the plain full of corpses and bones before, right?" There were some giant skeletons in there, which we judged to be the remains of a large werewolf and human battle. â
Jiang Rou understood, and said to us, "Oh, you say there, I know those big bones, but they are not werewolves. â
"Not a werewolf? How do you know? We saw the werewolf's skull, like a big dog's head. Surina asked.
Jiang Rou didn't seem to have a very good impression of Su Rina, maybe because Su Rina was frightened, which didn't match Jiang Rou's strong personality, Jiang Rou said to her with a blunt attitude: "If you don't understand, study hard, there is a high protruding bone in the middle of the top of those skulls, which is similar to primates such as gorillas, because they have huge mandibles and masticatory muscles, so they need such a skull structure to support, which is also the main reason why the brain capacity of the orangutan head is smaller than that of humans." Those dead behemoths, although they have a little longer mouths, must be primates, they should be a prehistoric humanoid species, not werewolves, werewolves can't grow that big, right? â
Explain is explain, why did you end up throwing the conversation at me? There must have been her intentions, and I judged that she was hinting at me, and she was already in our vicinity from Uncle Dan's resort, and she must have seen it in my head-to-head confrontation with the werewolf that night.
I hurriedly said, "It makes sense, haven't we all seen the scene of the werewolf gang beating the black dragon?" The werewolf was indeed not as big as the bones, and at first I thought it was a werewolf offspring that had degenerated. â
Jiang Rou twitched the corners of her mouth, and then said, "And there is another very important point, you didn't find it. At the same time, he smiled smugly.
It's really a sister, and this expression and posture are the same as Jiang Li's.
Jiang Li hurriedly said: "Don't sell it, hurry up, share resources." â
Jiang Rou thought that her sister interrupted her, pretended to be unhappy, and stopped her words.
The fat brother was so anxious that he patted Jiang Li directly: "Don't interrupt, let someone who knows how to tell us about it." â
Seeing that our eager gaze was pressing, Jiang Rou had no choice but to give up and continued: "There is obviously a depression in the head of that large beast bone, and any bone structure has its necessity to be stored, I judge that this thing was three eyes when it was born. â
The fat brother immediately asked, "Isn't it?" There should be a hole behind the eye, and a single inconspicuous depression can only indicate that there is a pit on the head, how can it be confirmed that there are three eyes? â
Jiang Rou continued: "I can't confirm this, but I suspect that the eye is connected to the other two eyes by the subcutaneous nerve, you look at the big skull, the distance between the two eye holes is very far, if you look at the front there must be a zĂ i obstacle, if there is a third eye on the door of the brain, it will be much more convenient, very in line with the principle of biological evolution." â
"So what do you mean, this thing is Bigfoot?" Fat brother's ability to give a nickname is really incomparable to ordinary people, the third eye is an evil eye, and the big man is not a werewolf, that is Bigfoot, and the name of the evil Bigfoot is quite appropriate.
The name given by the fat brother amused Jiang Rou, Jiang Rou laughed and said, "Yes, yes, evil eye Bigfoot, I think you are the smartest one here." â
"He's also the one who gets into the most trouble." Jiang Li immediately added.
Since we have arrived at the foot of the Ling Mountain, we can't say that we can't go up to worship the Buddha, we are curious and apprehensive, cross the river, and step on the steps up the mountain, the destination should be the top of the stupa, hoping to give us some answers we need here, even if there are some clues to go out is also good.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, we can't see the scene above, and we can only climb up little by little by the direction of the stairs.
After climbing the stairs for about half an hour, we came to a courtyard, which should be the front yard of the temple in terms of the temple structure.
The courtyard wall had collapsed, and we couldn't find the location of the door, so we stepped straight through the broken remnant wall.
As soon as I entered the yard, I first smelled a fragrance, that is because the ground in the garden, densely overgrown with the same kind of weeds, this kind of weeds I can't name, but there is a kind of white flowers of astragalus blooming on it, and the fragrance is also different, as if the perfume deliberately concocted by professionals, the aroma is pungent but not pungent, the smell is obvious and not strong, the air here makes people take a breath and want to inhale, linger, sure enough, there is a bit of the taste of the ancient temple of Xianshan.
Walking further inside, you can hear the sound of gurgling water, as if there is a canal built by the ancients in the courtyard, the water flows unimpeded, and the sound of the water is very crisp.
We walked in along the sound of the water, and there were many high mountain walls inside, and on these mountain walls, all kinds of Buddha statues were carved with small figures, as if they were some kind of cave murals carved by craftsmen with the help of natural mountain wall structures, which was very artistic.
Wait until we take a closer look at those grottoes to find that the little people carved on it actually have another future, originally I had the impression of the Buddhist wall carving, nothing more than some Buddha Bodhisattva, pilgrimage believers, Buddhist scripture stories, I didn't expect the carving here to be so alternative, it is simply a 3D three-dimensional spring. Palace Diagram.
In the round or square grid, there are carved villains of different shapes, although they are all short arms and short legs are somewhat abstract, but adults can clearly see that there is a man and a woman, or a man and a woman, or a woman and a man, in a variety of different postures, presenting a male and female sex. There are thousands of scenes, and in some places there are also male and female organs as decorative patterns, and the craftsman's skillful and realistic carving techniques make people embarrassed to look at them directly.
The fat brother said happily: "Yo drink, there are easter eggs in this temple, and the monk actually has a special hobby?" Then he patted Jiang Li on the shoulder and said, "See?" Study hard, you can enter the hall and get on the Luo bed. â
As soon as the fat brother said this, the scene immediately became embarrassing, and even Jiang Rou, who had a blunt attitude, couldn't help but blush on her face. Everyone had no choice but to bow their heads and line up along a narrow and irregular aisle in the middle of the grotto, just walking inside.
Originally, I wanted to see more of the artistic attainments of the ancient craftsmen, but I could only pretend to be reserved and lower my head, and followed behind Yan Qiu with a snicker.
Only the fat brother and Yan Qiu didn't care, and still walked forward with their heads held high.
Yan Qiu has rarely spoken since she woke up from the dream, her attitude is very cold, as if she is indifferent to anything, I really don't know what kind of dream she has experienced, the little monk followed the old monk, it is quite moisturizing in retrospect, it is obvious that it was Su Rina who pulled her tongue in the dream, why did Yan Qiu not say a word? I'll have to ask her a chance. R1058
