Chapter 134: Mirrors
Several people looked at each other tacitly, nodded to each other, and then pushed open the door of the temple in front of them.
As soon as they opened the door, they were greeted by a spectacular sight they had never seen before!
The temple is an irregular square and is surrounded by tall and beautifully carved stone pillars and white towers. The upper and lower three or four floors are nearly ten stories high. On both sides are huge Buddha shrines and statues, all of which are carved directly into the mountain rocks, making these Buddha statues one with the entire valley space!
The uniqueness of the building is incomparable, and its transcendence is indescribable.
The center of the entire nave is made up of an altar and a cloister. The altar consists of three levels of rectangular Sumeru platform surrounded by a cloister, one layer higher than the other, symbolizing Mount Meru, which is located at the center of the world in Hindu mythology.
At the four corners of the highest floor stand four pagodas, symbolizing the five peaks of Mount Meru. The outermost part of the temple is surrounded by a shallow underground river, symbolizing the Aral Sea that surrounds Mount Meru.
This temple is a shrunken Mount Meru!
However, what surprised them the most was that at the top of the center of the main hall, there was a huge demon-slaying pestle hanging from it! Moreover, it is exactly the same as the one in Yudong's hand, not bad at all! Bronze casting, magnificent, atmospheric! As for the size...... It is estimated to be nearly ten meters tall when put down!
I don't know how the top of the demon pestle is connected to the top of the cave, and how did such a heavy bronze weight vessel hang on it?
At the top, not far from the area surrounding the demon pestle, three huge bronze lamps hung from each other. The appearance of the lamp resembles a treasure lamp hanging from the top of a Tibetan Buddhist temple. It's about the same size as the handle of the Demon Slaying Pestle, but the circumference is also nearly ten meters long.
These three bronze lamps. It is facing the handle of the demon slaying pestle with three Buddha heads on it.
But the strangest thing is that this demon pestle is "opened".
The demon pestle was originally a triangular sharp weapon, but the lower part of this demon pestle was divided into three halves and opened horizontally. The bronze demon pestle itself had a heavy metallic feel, coupled with the intricate patterns carved on it, Qin Zhen felt in a trance that everything in front of him was so unreal.
These are not the most bizarre, the most bizarre things are right in front of their eyes. It was a beam of light from the top of the cave! The beam is so thin that it looks like a laser. But they all know that it is indeed the light of day outside! How exactly it penetrated in, they have no way of figuring it out yet.
underneath the beam. There is a round bronze mirror more than one person high. The mirror can be reversed up, down, left and right. I don't know what it's for.
Yudong reminded everyone not to be alarmed by the qiē here, and to take a closer look around first. Everyone agreed with this idea, so Yudong led everyone around the strange beams of light and bronze mirrors, and walked up the steps of the "Sumeru Mountain".
In the process. Qin Zhen looked at the ground under his feet. I always feel that the colors are very abnormal. No matter how mysterious and complex this hall is. It's so complicated and gorgeous that even the ground is made colorful, right? And such a strong color ratio is obviously intentional.
When they circled around the Buddha. I was shocked to discover the mystery!!
It turned out that on the ground of the top layer, there was a carving of a person! A person lying flat, the same size as the entire "Mount Meru"!
This person was not only carved out of fine limbs, facial features, and clothing, but also depicted in thick colors, so that under the light beam, it was lifelike and extremely terrifying!
Since it was too big and it was still on the ground, they didn't notice it when they first came in, but they just felt that the color of the road under their feet was a little strange.
At this time, several of them were standing at the head of this "person".
The big fuchsia face has to be the size of a room of more than ten square meters! It stared at the eyes that were about to bulge out, and the look of its eyes was about to crack, so that people didn't dare to look at it more. There are more whites of the eyes painted by the paint, with an angry and ferocious image.
Everyone was silent for a long time, and then Qin Zhen pointed to the ground and asked, "This, this is the most ferocious red-faced god on the top of the Meili Mountain?" ”
Yu Dong didn't speak, but turned around and walked to the position of the "person's" abdomen again.
Yu Dong squatted there and studied for a long time, then looked up at the huge demon pestle above his head, and then said, "This red-faced god is not only a guardian, but also a sacrificer. ”
When Qin Zhen heard this, they hurriedly went over to see what Yudong had discovered. I saw that there was a deep triangular groove in the heart of this red-faced god. And this look is not caused by collapse or defects, it should be completely man-made! The inner wall of the triangular deep groove is smooth and detailed. It's like there's something in there.
Juntian also raised his head at this time, looked at the giant demon pestle above his head, thought for a while, and said, "It seems that we have something to do." You'll have to find a way to synthesize this demon slaying pestle into its original form, and then plunge it into the deep groove of this triangle. ”
When Qin Zhen heard this, he raised his head in surprise. When I looked closely, I couldn't help but gasp.
Isn't it...... If the giant demon-slaying pestle above merges into its original form, then its triangular shape and the deep groove of this triangle are just right, and they fit perfectly! It can be said that ...... It's the relationship between the key and the keyhole.
No need to be suspicious, this must be a mechanism. Open a secret mechanism somewhere.
But now the question is, the demon pestle on the top of the head is nearly ten meters high, how can it be combined??
At this time, Yu Dong walked under the bronze lamp again, looked at the special structure of the three lamps, and was silent for a long time before he analyzed and said: "You see, these three bronze lamps are hollowed, and the inside of the hollow seems to have a bronze mirror. These lamps are facing the Buddha's head on the demon-slaying pestle......" As he spoke, Yuto took a few steps back, trying to see the Buddha's head on the demon-slaying pestle.
After looking at it for a while, he turned his head and said to everyone firmly: "That's it! There is also a bronze mirror in the middle of the Buddha's head and eyebrows on the demon pestle! This Demon Slaying Pestle Mechanism is meant to be activated with that light! With that, Yu Dong turned and pointed at the laser-like ray of light.
Juntian nodded at this time, agreeing with Yu Dong's analysis, he pointed to the tall shrines around him and said: "There must also be bronze mirrors on the statues in these shrines, which uses the principle of refraction and reflection to finally refract the light above the Buddha's head into the bronze lamp, and then reflect the mirror in the bronze lamp to the three Buddha's heads at the end of the demon-slaying pestle." ”
Qin Zhen and Lao Gu glanced at each other, and then at Jiang Qi, he seemed to be also meaning in the words of Yu Dong and Jun Tian......
Truly...... What light, what mirrors, what reflections and refractions are a little too complicated. Especially for Lao Gu's violent temper, he would rather Yudong's task be for him to demolish this place, rather than receive any special task such as "refracting" the light in the mirror.
Actually, Qin Zhen didn't quite understand the method that Juntian said. The most important thing is, what age has this temple and this mechanism been, and how advanced it is that it can use optical mechanisms??
But now is not the time to ponder this, Yu Dong spoke at that time: "Jiang Qi, you take Gu Jie to the shrine there in the southeast, and stand by after finding the mirror." I'll go to the northwest direction, Juntian, you ......" Yu Donggang wanted to continue, but stopped and looked at Juntian with some concern.
But Juntian smiled nonchalantly and said, "What's the matter? Do you want to keep me as a wounded soldier? Don't worry, I'll leave the southwest direction. ”
The rest of the northeast is where they entered, and there is no shrine Buddha statue there.
"You ......" Yu Dong still seemed a little hesitant, it seemed that he was very worried about Juntian's condition.
Before Juntian could speak, Qin Zhen stood between Yudong and Juntian with his hands raised, and then turned his head to Yudong and interrupted: "Wait a while, wait a while...... Xia Yudong, are you dead for me? ? ”
“……”
"You're insulting to me, aren't you?? You treat me like I'm transparent?? Even Lao Gu followed Daqi to complete the task, what's the matter with you leaving me here?? Can I be kind enough to think that you're taking care of me?? Qin Zhen glared at Yu Dong angrily and roared.
Yu Dong listened to Qin Zhen shouting unhurriedly. That calm and cold appearance formed a strong contrast with Qin Zhen's fried hairy appearance. This made Qin Zhen feel even more angry!
Just when Qin Zhen was about to break out again, Yu Dong pointed to the door and said slowly: "There is only one beam of light in this place, and it is in your hand." ”
As soon as Qin Zhen turned his head suddenly, he saw the glimmer of sky light and the ancient bronze mirror at the door. Yes, if there is no one below to refract the first light, then it is useless for them to go above.
I forgot the first most important light......
Qin Zhen coughed twice in a slightly embarrassed manner, then turned his head and walked towards his position. Anyway, he didn't want to apologize, and he should have scolded him. Who made him always think that he was Captain America, and everyone else was a chorre? Thinking like this, Qin Zhen balanced the little bit of guilt in his heart a little.
Seeing that Qin Zhen was already in place, Yu Dong turned around and said to everyone: "I don't know if these ancient mirrors are anything strange, and I don't know if the order between us will be exquisite." First of all, when you get to the shrine, first find the mirror. It may not be possible that there will be more hints on it. In short, be sure to pay attention to safety ......! ”
When he said those last words, Yu Dong looked at them deeply. That feeling is not just a general looking at his comrades-in-arms, but also a picture of friends cherishing each other in the face of danger.
The difficulties and dangers along the way, if he were alone, he might be able to be fearless. However, several people have broken into this last juncture with their lives dependent on each other, how can he be fearless and fearless? (To be continued......)
