Chapter 23: "Inside the Temple"
Xiu Yi walked in the dark green evil gas, looking at the murals on the walls of the temple with great difficulty, trying to find out the names and deeds of the gods once enshrined in the temple from the murals.
Due to the dark green evil gas inside the temple, the perception distance of the soul fire has become unusually small, Xiu Yi had to stick to the wall to see the murals on the wall, and not only was his perception limited, but he was also burned by the strange and evil dark green flames, which made him weak and could only walk forward by the wall.
He only had a little more than 7 percent of his mana left, and he only cast about ten fireball spells, and he couldn't release more of them.
The frescoes on the walls of the temple were different from those of other temples, and there was not the slightest text on them, not even otherworldly script.
On the wall that Huey was now leaning on, there were several completely unrelated murals, none of which could be connected to the others.
The first mural depicts a dozen strangely dressed people bowing down to a massive, fleshy mass full of mouths, tentacles, and eyes.
The people in the painting are dressed differently from any of the races in "Reddis", and they seem to be from another race.
The huge piece of flesh with a large mouth, tentacles, and eyes in the painting should be an evil god, or a race related to an evil god, just like the god of light and angels, and the demon god and the demon.
Moreover, the two stone statues outside the gate of the temple are also such indescribable large pieces of meat, although I don't know what race this big piece of meat is, but what kind of relationship should be between this large piece of meat and the gods enshrined in this temple.
The second painting depicts a well-known story of "Reddis", the world's first murder between gods, the god of death poisoning the god of the underworld.
In the painting, forty-four people wearing black robes and looking like dried corpses are surrounding a weak man wearing a crown and a red robe, with pure white wings on one side and black bat wings on the other, on the ground at the feet of the red-robed man, there is a wine glass that fell to the ground, and the dark green wine in the wine glass was spilled on the ground, and behind the red-robed man, there was a man in a black robe, holding a bow and arrow, the bow and arrow in the hand of the black-robed man, facing the weak red-robed man, ready to shoot, on the arrow of the bow, there was a trace of green.
This is the picture of the Grim Reaper murdering the god of the underworld, and Xiu Yi doesn't understand what this mural has to do with this temple, if you have to guess... Only the venom used by the god of death to murder the god of the underworld is the evil god enshrined in this temple, which is the only one that can be said to be reasonable.
But if that's the case, then how to explain the third mural in the back??
The third mural depicts the decapitation of a large viper by a man wearing pure white armor, holding a sword, and carrying a hundred wings on his back.
The man in the painting is the god of light that Xiu Yi believes, and the giant snake whose head was cut off by the god of light is one of the legendary evil gods, representing the highly poisonous deity.
If the venom used by the god of light to murder the god of the underworld came from the gods enshrined in this temple, then how to explain the mural of the god of light killing the god of the poisonous snake? The time when the god of light killed the god of the snake was 2100 years before the god of death murdered the god of the underworld, and the place of the killing was on an island in the sea of the living world.
1,200 years after the God of Light killed the Snake God, how could the God of Death get the venom of the Snake God? Moreover, at that time, the first batch of evil gods had already been killed by the God of Light, the Demon God, the God of Hades, and the three primordial gods, and the God of Death had no chance to get the venom of the Snake God.
After the god of death was successfully sealed, he came to the second batch of evil gods of "Reddis", and there were no gods known for their poison, so the venom used by the god of death to murder the god of the underworld was owned by which evil god, even other gods such as the god of light did not know.
And the fourth, on which is a group of strangely dressed people, on a grass, surrounded by a strange magic array, above the magic array, there is a spatial crack, a twisted and strange hand, is reaching out from the spatial crack, grabbing the group of strangely dressed people.
If you say, the first three murals, Xiu Yi still understands, which... This mural is completely unintelligible, although it looks like a group of visitors from the other world are summoning their evil gods, but if you look closely, you will find that this is not the case.
The strangely dressed people in the painting have a clearly frightened look, and the ears of the dressed people are pointed, obviously elves.
In ancient times, the living world was controlled by the elves, and all other races were slaves of the elves, if it were not for the advent of evil gods, such as humans, orcs, etc., these intelligent races might still be just slaves of the elves.
The advent of the evil god led to the strength of the most powerful race at that time, the elves, being greatly weakened, giving humans, orcs and other intelligent races a chance to resist.
After the fall of the second group of evil gods, humans and orcs united to overthrow the tyranny of the elves, who had little power left, and established their own country.
Therefore, it is impossible for the elves who hate the evil gods to summon the evil gods, and the frightened looks of the elves in the painting show that these elves are not the elves occupied by the souls of visitors from other worlds.
Therefore, Xiu Yi speculated that the mural should be depicting the first or second coming.
Walking slowly to the fourth mural, Xiui didn't know what to say, this mural was exactly like a child on a blank piece of paper, drawing circles, and drawing, and drawing, until the whole paper was painted.
“... You... Calling..."
Just thinking about what this mural was describing, a vague sentence, in Xiuyi's soul fire, flashed, and a sharp pain suddenly appeared in the soul fire, he couldn't help but scream silently, and the soul fire flickered non-stop.
"Xiuyi!!" Kami sensed that something was wrong with Xiuyi, and immediately asked worriedly, "Are you okay??"
“... I'm fine..."
Xiu Yi shook his head, indicating that he was fine, just like the vague sentence that flashed before, the sharp pain also flashed, and soon disappeared without a trace.
Standing in place, waiting for the soul fire to settle down, Xiui walked back to the depths of the temple.
As he walked slowly, he noticed that the deeper he went, the more chaotic the murals on the walls of the temple became, like a child's random graffiti, disorganized and incomprehensible.
I don't know how long it took, Xiu Yi came, stopped in front of a gate, looked at the pattern carved on the gate, and hesitated.
On the left and right sides of the gate are carved with a seraphim archangel holding a great sword and an octagonal archdemon holding a spear, and the weapons of angels and demons pierce each other.
Above the angel and the demon, there is also a man made up of an unknown number of worms.
