This is a whole wall of stone statues.

However, what could surprise Qin Zhen and them so much was, of course, not because of the statues on the four walls, but because of the content of the statues.

The area of these four walls is not too small, and on each wall is a large stone statue of three animals. Four walls...... It happened to be a statue of the zodiac!

It was this strange combination of incompatibility and incompatibility that made them all feel so shocked! No matter how you think about these zodiac signs, it has nothing to do with Buddhist scriptures, right? What's the point of carving them so ceremoniously here?

The most important thing is that those zodiac signs are all carved and personified, which means that they are idolized.

But they're not bodhisattva statues! Instead, they all had fierce expressions, and they all had weapons in their hands! Even the fierce and violent eyes were vividly displayed by the carver! If you only look at it from an artistic point of view, it is definitely a masterpiece of sculpture art in the world.

But the problem is that this is not an art exhibition, and Qin Zhen really can't understand why the good zodiac signs have to be changed to look like this evil god? ? Even the tame and cute rabbit was designed to be terrifyingly demonic.

Of course, Qin Zhen could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart, so he had to ask Yudong with his eyes. It's not that he didn't dare to ask, but the surprise at the moment made him really not know how to express it.

Yudong naturally can see everyone's doubts. At this time, he was holding the pine resin blue light, and the statue close to the position of the 'Chenlong' was carefully examined.

The dragon was originally used as a totem of the Chinese nation in China, and then became a symbol of dignity and sacredness. In short, all Chinese will call themselves the descendants of the dragon.

But if the divine dragon that travels clouds and rain and benefits all things is the terrifying image of the fierce god in front of him, then Qin Zhen would rather be a traitor and kill than admit that he is the descendant of the dragon!

Take, for example, the statue dragon in front of you. Cracked eyes, big mouths, and a mouth full of fangs. It also seems to be surrounded by fire. The right arm is slightly bent in a fist shape, holding an arrow, while the left hand holds a large bow. A furious look on his face!

It's really no wonder that Qin Zhen has never seen the world, just with the dignity of this dragon statue, who else can recognize this as a sign of civilization in his country?

And Yudong really didn't dislike the terrifying image of these statues, and he was very patient and circled around the wall in the underground palace! Look at each statue carefully. After seeing it, Qin Zhen was already in a state of following and waiting, and he didn't raise his eyes to look at those statues at all.

Let's not say that the statue is scary or not, just say that these twelve zodiac signs are engraved here like this, Qin Zhen really can't think of what meaning it can have. Now Qin Zhen couldn't think of the point of Yu Dongfei having to look at it so carefully!

However, after checking them all, Yu Dong came to a conclusion that seemed good, but in fact it was useless. That is, if you want to go out, you have to look at these zodiac signs.

Qin Zhen listened to Yu Dong's conclusion, and almost didn't laugh. Xin said that he really couldn't understand this young master's train of thought, let alone this rather exotic religious path. Growing up, I never heard of the skills that these zodiac signs can have to 'turn things around'.

Yu Dong saw Qin Zhen's disdain and rejection of this statement. So he pointed to the huge statue on the wall and said to Qin Zhen, "Qin Zhen, this is not the zodiac in your impression. ”

Qin Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "I know." ”

"You know??" Yu Dong looked at Qin Zhen in surprise.

"Yes, of course I do! Even if it's nightmares and hysteria, the 12 zodiac signs in my impression have never looked like this. Qin Zhen said as a matter of course.

Yu Dong was obviously disappointed by Qin Zhen's answer, so he pulled past Qin Zhen and walked towards the last wall. When he walked up to him, he pointed to the statue on the wall and asked, "Do you see anything?" ”

Not only Qin Zhen, but even Gu Jie followed. After looking around the three statues for a long time, he said, "Yo ho, this is really a chicken dog ascending to heaven!" ”

Listening to Gu Jie's seemingly inconsequential words, Qin Zhen immediately discovered the reason why Gu Jie said this.

The statues on this wall are roosters, dogs, and pigs. Except for the vicious and angry image of the water, this 'chicken' seems to have received special treatment.

With a golden crown on his head, a pair of 'chicken claws' holding a weapon, he turned out to be like an eagle's claws! And the lower part of the statue turned out to be auspicious clouds, obviously trying to show that this chicken stands proudly above the clouds! Especially its eagle eyes, which are extremely sharp and not angry! The wings behind the body are spread out, and there is a form of wanting to flutter their wings and fly high!

This is really weird! I never thought that these adjectives would one day be used on a chicken......

Qin Zhen couldn't help but shake his head again and again, and said very incomprehensibly, "Is the craftsman who carved these statues a chicken?" Even the only dragon that did not exist and was deified was ruined by him to that virtue. Why does this chicken seem to be beautified by him? ”

Gu Jie also said on the side: "Yes! How else can I say that the chicken dog ascends to heaven! When we were young, those big reed chickens raised by the old king in the backyard could go to the house even if they were in a hurry, but the wings should be chicken wings or chicken wings, and it can't become a bird. And corns are corns, and they definitely can't grow like this. ”

Qin Zhen thought for a while, guessed, and said, "Do you think this will be a chicken after successful cultivation?" ”

Gu Jie pursed his lips, shook his head, and seriously denied Qin Zhen, and then said, "Probably not!" In my opinion, the last way for most chickens is chicken soup. No matter how powerful your cultivation is, if you can end up with a whole body, at most it will be a roast chicken! It can't be anything else. ”

The two of them said this, and completely forgot about the storage zài of Yudong next to them. It wasn't until Qin Zhen felt that the words 'roast chicken' came out, and a chill seemed to rise around him. Only then did he quietly glance at Yu Dong.

Sure enough, Yu Dongzheng stared at the two of them with a gloomy face.

Seeing this, Gu Jie hurriedly smiled and said, "Hehe, Dong Shao, we are not serious!" We're just seriously talking about it... After all, it's all about participation! If you had explained it to us earlier, I wouldn't have had to go to such great lengths to study the final way out of this life, wouldn't I? ”

Look, hey, he's pretty reasonable!

However, Yudong seemed to be used to this situation, and glanced at Qin Zhen and Gu Jie helplessly, and then walked to the statue and explained, "In Indian religion, there are also twelve zodiac signs. ”

As Yudong pointed with the blue light, he said in turn, "The rat of the god Dura is summoned, the ox of the god Vikara, the lion of the god Miypira, the rabbit of the god Vajira, the Maharaja of the god Milira, the Naga of the god Antilo, the horse of the god Amira, the sheep of the god Sandira, the monkey of the god Indara, the golden-winged bird of the god of Boira, the dog of the god Mahura, and the pig of the god Jindara." ”

These names that Yudong said, Qin Zhen naturally sounded completely unfamiliar! As an authentic descendant of Yan and Huang, who has eaten enough to complicate the names of the 12 zodiac signs?

However, after hearing this, Qin Zhen did discover the difference between these statues and the zodiac signs.

First of all, the tiger is not a tiger, but a lion. It's just that after being personified, I really didn't see it! And from Qin Zhen's subjective consciousness, there must be a tiger behind the cow. It's as if a monkey must be followed by a chicken, not a bird. It's all the same thing. People, presumably, have preconceived notions.

Except that these two animals are not the same, the rest are dragons and snakes. In fact, they are dragons and snakes, but they are called differently.

Especially the name of the dragon, Qin Zhen was very concerned! So he even looked at everyone with some excitement and said, "Don't you think the name of the dragon is familiar?" It's not like the city that was annihilated by the rain of sand and rain from the Dharma. ”

However, the reaction of all of them really made Qin Zhen feel very dissatisfied, because as soon as he said the words that he felt more shocked, none of them had the slightest fluctuation in their feelings.

In the end, Lan Qing smiled and said to Qin Zhen, "Brother Qin, both Maharaja and Naga have the meaning of a big snake. After being absorbed by Buddhism, it slowly turned into a dragon. This is just the name of a god, and it has nothing to do with the legend of the Tarim River in China......"

Qin Zhen sighed in disappointment, and said in his heart Since it doesn't matter, why should the names be so similar? ? I'm afraid that others will not be sensitive to the word 'Luojia', what's the matter?

No one noticed Qin Zhen's frustration and loss. Even Ma Chao said a little excitedly at this time: "Ah! Dong Shao, I see! This zodiac is a synthesis of the image of the zodiac and the gods, which is why there are such weird statues! ”

Yu Dong nodded and said, "Well, and these twelve gods are all angry, that's why these zodiac signs look so terrifying." ”

When Qin Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt, "Stop, stop, I'm almost used to the weirdness here." I don't want to continue to study the relationship between these religious gods and animals, you just need to sue me, does this have anything to do with how we get out and have a dime?? At best, the statues on these four walls only show that the person who designed this place at that time was a whimsical, whimsical, and strange genius with the donkey's lips on the horse's mouth. Other than that, it doesn't mean anything. ”

After listening to Qin Zhen's words, Yu Dong shook his head, smiled a little mysteriously and said, "That hoarse ghost just now told me with a smile, the secret of getting out of here is hidden in one of the twelve statues on these four walls." ”
