Chapter 137: Arriving at the Temple
readx;? Matilda took Ryusan to the place where her team was staying, which was a hotel street west of the city. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The so-called hotel street, as the name suggests, is to provide a temporary place for those contestants who cannot afford to rent a house, and the accommodation conditions are naturally much worse than the rental houses in the south of the city, but fortunately, it also provides cheap food. The hotel where Matilda and the others lived was called Casa Gaul, and the name suggests that it was run by the remnants of the ancient European contestants.
When Matilda led Longshan to the hotel, he saw that Edmund and the others had formed a table in the hall, eating bread and soup made from Sinlia grass. In addition to the Edmund Four, Yongsan also saw a strange young Asian man sitting in it.
Matilda saw Ryuzan looking at the stranger, so she whispered, "That's Toshihiro Yamanaka of the island country, he said that he is also a man, and it just so happens that we are short of people, so Edmund let him join our team." β
"Isn't this Longshan?" Edmund saw Longshan walking in with Matilda at this time, so he greeted him: "You came just in time, we are looking for a Huaxia person to help!"
Matilda didn't wait for Long Shan to speak, and said directly: "Captain, he is the one I asked to help. β
"That's great!" Edmund stood up and said enthusiastically to Long Shan: "We originally wanted to find someone to make up, since you are here, not only can you solve the problem of lack of people, but also help us translate those ancient Chinese texts, it seems that God bless us, so that we have a better chance of getting the things in the temple." β
Ryuzan thought that he had nothing to do with God coming over, but Matilda was too persistent. So, Yongshan smiled at Edmund and asked, "Since everyone is together, when are we leaving?"
"Let's leave after breakfast!" Edmund pointed to the Sinlia straw soup on the table, and said to Long Shan with a wry smile, "Have you had breakfast, do you want to bring you a bowl?"
"Forget it, I've already eaten it," Long Shan hurriedly refused at the thought of the pig-like taste.
When Edmund saw that Longshan refused, and then saw Matilda, he thought about asking her to buy a talisman in the morning, and asked, "Matilda, where is the talisman you bought?"
"Hmph, I really don't know where you heard that talismans are cheap!" Matilda suddenly said dissatisfied, "I don't have enough points in my body to buy one, next time you should buy it yourself!"
"Well, I don't have as many points as you" Edmund blushed, closed his mouth, sat down and continued to nibble on the unpalatable cinlia bread. And none of the other people dared to speak, because their points were pitiful.
After Edmund and the others finished breakfast, they quickly packed their bags, left the inn and walked all the way west out of Central City, and came to the vast grassland.
"The temple is about seventy kilometers from Central City. "If you run, you can get there in about two hours." "Everyone is a contestant, even Matilda, who has the least strength, and the strength of her whole body at this time is roughly ten times that of ordinary earthlings. Even with a full set of equipment, it doesn't take any effort to run. So Edmund took the lead and ran in the direction of the temple, followed by a group of people, while Long Shan was too lazy to exert himself, secretly gave himself an acceleration technique, and slowly walked to the end.
Although Yongsan is not fast, Toshihiro Nakayama of that island nation is also slow. If it weren't for Yongsan's deliberate last-minute walk, he would only need to take two more steps to overtake the islander. So there must be a reason why Longshan estimates that this Zhongshan Junhao is running so slowly. Sure enough, the Zhongshan Junhao stopped after running for a while, and his bottom body made the appearance of tying his shoes, and when Longshan saw this, he overtook him, and then released his divine sense to observe him, but found that this Zhongshan Junhao took out a small box from his sleeve, opened it and sprinkled some of the powder in the box on the ground.
"Hehe, it's really weird!" Long Shan saw it in his eyes, but he wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, so he didn't directly expose him. But for the sake of insurance, he still accelerated to Matilda's side and asked in a low voice, "Matilda, do you know the origin of that Zhongshan Jun?"
Although Matilda didn't know why Ryusan asked about this, she was a chatterbox, and her friend Lucia was chatting with HonorΓ© at this time, and was worried that no one would talk to her, so she hurriedly said to Ryusan: "You said that Nakayama Toshihiro? Listen to himself, he is a disciple of some school in the island country, and he was recruited by the government to come here." He and his brother were separated during a mission, so he returned to Central City alone and waited for his brother to appear. β
"And how did he join your team?" Ryuzan continued,
"Well, not long after we found the temple, he approached Edmund alone, saying that he wanted to join us because he saw that our team was very promising. Matilda said directly.
"Sure enough, this island man should have come for that temple. Long Shan thought to himself that Edmund and these people were really too simple, and he probably thought about treasures in his heart, and he didn't have any defense at all, and he didn't blame them for being in such a state today.
On the rest of the journey, Yongshan found that Zhongshan Junhao would stop again after walking more than ten kilometers and sprinkle the powder in the box on the ground. Yongsan believed that this must be a signpost for him to point the way for others.
After more than two hours, everyone finally came to the location of the temple, which was a little different from what Long Shan had imagined, but this ruin was on a green hill full of tall trees.
"This ruin was also discovered when we were on a mission, and we never thought that there would be ruins hidden in this mountain. With that, Edmund led the people around and up the hill through a hand-made staircase. When they reached the position near the top of the mountain, what appeared in front of everyone was a large piece of ruined walls, blue bricks and broken tiles, but there was a small temple supported by four pillars in the center, which was very well preserved.
"That's the temple!" Edmund said as he looked at the temple and introduced to Yongsan and Nakayama Toshihiro, "There is a stone box in the middle of the temple, and we reckon it must contain treasures. Long Shan followed everyone to the front of the temple, only to see a stone tablet standing in front of the temple, on which four rows of words were written in gold script.
"Longshan, these ancient Chinese characters. Edmund pointed to the text and said, "Can you read it?"
Long Shan originally didn't know these words, but because he inherited Xiao Ling's memory, when he saw these words, the corresponding simplified characters unconsciously surfaced in his mind, "Seven Seven Forty-Nine, Eight Eight Sixty-Four, Beidou Xuanji, Creation Tong III." He read the words on the stele softly, and then said to Edmund, who was confused, "It seems that the things in this temple should be related to the Big Dipper." β
"The Big Dipper?" Edmund suddenly showed a look of sudden realization, "No wonder there are seven people standing in the temple, the reason is that it corresponds to the Big Dipper in the sky." But can you see the Big Dipper on this planet?"
Long Shan shook his head, because he had never seen the Big Dipper in this starry sky, since this was the case, then the seven star patterns here, as well as the words on the stone tablet, must have been left by the contestants of ancient China, and the stone box must also contain the treasures of ancient China.
