Chapter 0476: Temple Painting, Butterfly's Past

Is this welcoming yourself?

Or is the temple still alive and longing for a new sacrifice?

A bright hall can be seen in the door, with tall golden pillars supporting the dome, ancient paintings can be glimpsed on the walls on both sides, and there is a tall stone statue in the center, but to Su Qi's surprise, this stone statue is not a butterfly, but a young girl, she has a delicate appearance, her hands behind her back, her long hair hangs down to her waist, she tilts her head slightly, her eyes are cold, and she seems to be contemptuous of everything in this world.

Who is she?

Is it the embodiment of the Dead Butterfly? or its oracle?

This girl is very beautiful, although it is a stone statue, but it has a mesmerizing temperament, just by looking at it, people can't help but sink into it.

No, it's not a matter of temperament or looks.

Rather, her body exuded a strong Dao intent, and the aura that seemed to be close to the origin of the Great Dao would naturally attract every monk, and if a mortal came here, he would most likely only feel magnificent and timid.

Su Qi suddenly closed his eyes and silently operated the sword qi in his body, alleviating the urge to kneel at the other party's feet, stare at the other party without blinking, and even sacrifice himself to her.

It took a stick of incense before Su Qi calmed down, he didn't dare to look at the statue anymore, his eyes slowly moved down, there were three extremely long bronze stone platforms under the stone statues, and the incense that had been burned out could be seen on the stone platform in the middle, there were hundreds of incense, these incense were very extraordinary, Su Qi quickly recognized that they were actually made of building wood.

It is said that the Heavenly Gate between the Pure Yuan Realm and the Heavenly Court was made of this sacred tree, whether it is refining medicine or refining tools, it is the top material, and it is actually used to make incense......

It's really worthy of being an emperor, extravagant enough.

Su Qi complained secretly, but judging from the location and appearance of the bronze stone platform, this should most likely be used for sacrifice.

He hesitated, but cautiously stepped through the golden door.

Bang.

The door closed abruptly after Su Qi walked in, and the sudden sound made Su Qi's body tense to the extreme in an instant, and he cautiously glanced around, only to find more interesting things on the walls on both sides.

The walls are painted with colorful paintings.

In fact, this is very rare in Terran architecture, but on the way of Terran tombs, such things are often painted.

However, for the Terran monks, walking into a temple dedicated to the Funeral Butterfly seems to be no different from walking into the tomb of a living being.

He walked to the wall on the left, where there were nine paintings, and on the right there were the same number of paintings.

Nine is the extreme.

But the first painting made Su Qi frown.

There is only one egg drawn on it.

Pale silver, the eggshell has intricate and wonderful markings, and the background is deliberately painted gray, making the egg very inconspicuous, but fortunately, the wall is a brilliant gold, which is different from both, so that Su Qi can still distinguish what is painted on it.

But this is too strange, this is a temple dedicated to the Funeral Butterfly, even if you don't paint something on the wall as a tribute, you shouldn't paint something that seems to be unrelated, right?

Unless it has a lot to do with the Funeral Butterfly.

It's a silver egg.

Su Qi thought about it, maybe the Butterfly of the Dead World was born in this egg? Since the Emperor could dream of butterflies, maybe they also dreamed of the scene when the Butterfly of the Dead World was not yet born.

Su Qi thought for a moment and walked towards the second painting.

It is rooted in a vast blood-red lake, with thin roots floating in the lake, and its trunk is slightly painted red, which seems to indicate that the ancient tree is drawing nutrients from the blood lake, and the background outside the lake and the tree is gloomy black.

This is obviously the boundary wood that Anya said, but Su Qi searched for a long time, but still did not find the Butterfly of the Burial World.

Su Qi didn't stay too long, looking at the third painting.

It was still painted with boundary wood, but it was very different at this time, the ancient tree rose to the sky, and the dense roots occupied half of the lake, and the blood lake at this time was already a little small compared to it, and there were countless green fruits growing on the branches.

The most important thing is that on the main trunk of the boundary wood, there is a small butterfly.

Su Qi turned his head to look at the second one.

The boundary wood has grown from small to large, which obviously represents the passage of time, and the Funeral Butterfly did not appear until the third painting, is this saying that the ancient tree and the blood lake appeared much earlier than the Burial Butterfly?

If we extrapolate this way, the egg in the first picture appeared at the earliest, and it is not a funeral butterfly.

No, Su Qi rubbed his eyebrows lightly and denied his guess, maybe it was just because the Funeral Butterfly broke out of its shell too late, and the long years it took to nurture it allowed the Blood Lake and the Boundary Wood to grow first.

But where did the Blood Lake and the Boundary Wood come from? whose blood did it come from? Where did it come from? Can there really be living beings in the vast darkness of the Boundary Road?

The confusion in Su Qi's heart became more and more intense.

He had no choice but to keep looking.

The fourth painting depicts a winding stone road, sheltered by a hazy shimmer of light, the butterfly of the dead floating in the darkness, staring coldly at the ancient road, one tentacle hanging down, smashing at the end of the stone road, and a piece of stone slabs is falling from the stone road, and on the opposite side of the collapsed stone road, a very unclear door is painted.

There is no doubt that this painting is the boundary road, is it saying that the Butterfly of the Dead World once attacked the boundary road? But which world is that door referring to?

The fifth painting is very scary.

There is a certain world painted on it, the mountains and rivers and cities are dyed red, the butterfly of the dead world flies in the air, the falling tentacles run through a mountain, it looks down on the earth coldly, wisps of things like souls are flying from the ground, the ground is full of rivers of blood, there are dead beasts and birds everywhere, you can see countless little monks kneeling on the ground praying, and some people rise to the sky, go straight to the butterfly floating in the sky, but they can't resist the powerful force, and there are souls coming out of their bodies.

This is the destruction of the world, Su Qi sighed silently in his heart.

The sixth painting is still the boundary road, but it is very different from the fourth, there are many small black squares on the boundary road, Su Qi looked at it for a long time, and then realized that this represents the settlement, in the darkness next to the boundary road, the painting shows half of the boundary wood and the blood lake, and the butterfly of the burial world is lying on the branch of the boundary tree, quietly peeking at the boundary road.

Does this mean that there are creatures beginning to inhabit the Realm, but why doesn't the Dead Butterfly devour them? Doesn't it like the flesh and soul of creatures the most?

Su Qi shook his head and continued to walk forward, but was surprised to find that the seventh, eighth, and ninth paintings had all been destroyed.

Someone dug up the paintings all his life.
