Chapter 241: Fierce God Stone Carving
Xuanhuo Altar.
Although it was a wooden door, it still felt heavy in the hand, and under Li Qingyun's force, the heavy and thick door on the Xuanhuo Altar made a muffled sound of "squeak", and slowly pushed it open.
Inside the door, a surging red light shone out, and the air around it seemed to rise a little more, and it was extremely hot.
Li Qingyun frowned, the temperature here was even more extreme, even he felt a little stuffy, he didn't want to stay here for a long time, and he couldn't help but think that Shangguan Ce had been guarding here for a hundred years, and he could be regarded as having great ability.
In the Xuanhuo Altar, it doesn't look bright, except for a glimmer of red light shining from nowhere, it seems to be more dark, and it doesn't match the heat around it. Li Qingyun stood at the door, pondered for a moment, and walked in with his feet raised.
With another "squeak", the wooden door closed gently.
Li Qingyun paused slightly and began to look around. As I guessed when I saw this altar outside, it was really a huge hall inside, up to five zhang of space, the whole hall was circular, and the walls were the same as those seen outside, all of which were made of red rock, without any carving decoration, unpretentious, but in the background of this huge space, there was an indescribable grandeur and majesty, which made people feel that only this kind of plainness was the real supreme state of architecture.
Soon, Li Qingyun found that the red light emanating from the entire hall came from the center of the hall. The closer you get to the center of the main hall, the brighter it becomes, and from a distance, under the red light, it seems that a blazing flame is burning in the hall.
Li Qingyun stepped forward, towards the "flame" in the center of the main hall, and slowly walked towards the depths of the red light.
As we got closer to the "flame", the air around it became hotter and hotter, and at this moment, it was almost like being next to the lava underground.
"How the hell did the Incense Valley carry such a scorching heat?"
Li Qingyun frowned, his gaze retracted from the flame, and looked at the ground.
On the flat floor made of red stones, a figure appeared.
At his feet, finger-thick notches appeared on the stones, stretching out on both sides, but they looked crooked and uneven. In the place one foot in front of Li Qingyun, the same kind of finger-thick nicks, on the hard red stone, the dragon and snake are painted, forming a one-foot-sized picture.
That's a god!
A god that Li Qingyun had never seen or heard of before.
The vigorous nicks slowly extend on the ground, and the corners can be seen everywhere The traces of the years have been sharpened, showing the long years of the existence of these figures, revealing a trace of desolation.
The top of the god's head was hairless, but it had horns that were slightly curved like sheep's horns, and its face and eyebrows were similar to those of a human, except that under those eerie and hollow eyes, sharp fangs were clearly distinguished. The carver even carved a few tiny holes next to the fangs, like dripping blood, adding a bit of ferocity and hideousness.
And the body of this deity is very different from that of humans, with four arms on its torso, which is as strong as a tiger and leopard, holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other; Of the remaining two hands, one grasped a painfully twisted human body, which seemed to be screaming to the sky; And the other hand gently held up an object, dripping with blood, it was actually a human heart.
The original clumsy and desolate nick arrived here, and suddenly became angry and unrestrained, and the strength, the hatred in the deep heart, seemed to burst out all at once.
The gentle nick instantly intensified, flying down from the torso, merging into the flesh of the vicious deity, turning into a raging flame. The red light shone brightly, and the corner of the god's mouth seemed to have a sinister smile, as if it was about to break out of the ground and be resurrected!
And as the notch continued to stretch on the ground, there was a second idol, a third idol, and finally, after circling around the red flame in the center, he found a total of eight images of deities carved on the ground, all of which were fierce gods.
Li Qingyun's brows furrowed deeply, he read thousands of books, there are few things in the world that he doesn't know, the diagram in front of him is lifelike, it seems to be a totem, if he is not mistaken, it must be a totem that Southern Xinjiang believes in.
"The Xuanhuo Altar totem guarded by the Incense Valley turned out to be the totem of Southern Xinjiang, could it be that the Incense Valley is actually a member of Southern Xinjiang?"
Li Qingyun's guess was very bold, but when he thought of the entangled relationship between the Incense Valley and the aliens in southern Xinjiang, he became more and more sure that the Incense Valley was an untrustworthy force.
There is a saying in him that says, 'Whoever is not of my race will have a different heart.'"
It is true that the monks of the Incense Valley are human beings, but if they believe in the totem of southern Xinjiang and collude with foreign races in southern Xinjiang to plague the Central Plains, what is the difference between them and foreign races?
I thought to myself that in looking at those images, man had become a sacrifice to these gods, like food. In the entire hall, there was a slaughter at this moment, and it seemed that with the discovery of these images, there was something murderous in the dark that was roaring in a low voice.
Suddenly, there was a "buzz" in his mind, and something seemed to be surging, a longing, a bloodthirsty desire, welling up in his heart. Almost at the same time, the images of the fierce gods around him suddenly seemed to come to life, and they flickered vaguely in front of his eyes.
"Alien demons also dare to invade my heart and seek death."
Li Qingyun's eyes flashed, the inexplicable desire quickly disappeared, and the Heavenly Punishment Sword suddenly came out, stabbing straight at the totem below.
Rumble.
A huge impact came, and the evil god totem under his feet seemed to sense his movements, and flickered violently, a red light flashed, and the Heavenly Punishment Sword returned in vain.
Li Qingyun raised his head with his sword, and a foot away from him, with his movements, a raging flame rose.
If you look closely, the stone carvings of the eight gods you saw just now are all surrounding this flame, and the heads of the gods are all facing here. At this time, the temperature around it became extremely hot, and if ordinary people were here, they would only be waiting to be roasted.
Li Qingyun frowned slightly, took a few steps forward, and saw that below the flame was something like a stone well, thin at the top and thick at the bottom, appearing in the center of the main hall. Three feet high, no more than two feet in diameter, and like the stones on the ground, they were made of that kind of crimson rock.
But on the flat surface of the well, there is a crystal clear white transparent strange stone, which seems to be a circle, but if you look closely, you will find that there are countless facets on it, ranging in size, and the brilliant light flows to cover it.
And the red light that kept shooting out from the well, after passing through this crystal-like strange stone, the light was refracted layer by layer, and it seemed that there was a trace of blood flowing in it, and these rays of light condensed into a red light ball in the space three feet above the strange stone, sending fire power to the entire altar.
A few steps closer, looking down from Shijin, he saw the magma rolling below, and he couldn't open his eyes with the scorching breath.
Li Qingyun was shocked, this Xuanhuo altar was actually built on top of a volcanic crater that seemed to be about to erupt.
"But where is the mother of the six tails suppressed?"
Although he was shocked by the generosity of the Incense Valley, Li Qingyun was more puzzled at the moment, except for the altar, there were no other facilities around this Xuanhuo Altar, and there was no place to detain people.
Suddenly, he thought of the height of this Xuanhuo Altar, he was only on the first floor of the tower at the moment, obviously there was a room above, he just didn't find the entrance.
After carefully looking around and making sure that there was no mechanism around, Li Qingyun's gaze fell on the strange stone that inherited the power of lava.
With a slight groan, Li Qingyun flicked his fingers, and the strong wind swept through, and the strange stone fell to the ground with a ding.
Without the red light reflected by the strange stones, the room instantly fell into darkness, and only the faint red light flickered at the stone well.
The whole world fell silent, and it seemed that even the noise in the distance had subsided.
