134: Shangshu, Jinshan Temple
During the Tianli period, the female statue surrounded by a number of rare and exotic beasts is the place of worship of the Nuwa Temple.
And the dilapidated Nuwa Temple that Gu Changsheng saw that day, the human body and snake tail that appeared in it, and the statues like the stars and the moon......
It is also a Nuwa Temple.
Two branches visible to the naked eye.
But there is a kind of similarity.
Gu Changsheng looked thoughtful at this moment, and couldn't help muttering at the moment.
"Sure enough, it's a branch type that looks like Buddhism......"
It comes from the same source, but there are some deflections in subtle places, which are all the outlines that Gu Changsheng has observed now.
Just thinking about this, there was still a confusion in his heart.
That's the identity classification of 'youkai', from the moment it seems ...... It's just so weird!
After all, if you analyze it in depth according to the current information, it is almost not difficult to come to a conclusion - the so-called monster should also be a branch of Nuwa Temple in a sense.
But what are the facts?
The steward of the Tianli period, that ancestor, once regarded monsters as flood beasts.
The year is unknown, but what remains in the Nuwa Temple is full of statues that look like monsters.
There seems to be some estrangement between the two, or is it ...... Some subtle difference?
"And it doesn't seem that youkai are creatures that can be analyzed so easily......"
Gu Changsheng recalled what happened earlier at this moment, and he now clearly remembered that he was in the broken temple that time, and he was beaten by something like a tentacle before he died.
The monsters over there were hostile to Gu Changsheng.
This is where the argument of the mother is questioned.
The characteristics of the two sides are mixed and synthesized at this moment, and finally a more vivid and three-dimensional model is formed.
Youkai are not a simple race, they can judge, they can express feelings, and from the current situation, their IQ is not even below that of ordinary people.
And in this way, this statue is ......
What's the use?
Gu Changsheng placed the statue of the skeleton face in his hand under his nose, and looked at it carefully for a while.
However, apart from the fact that this thing is extremely fine and has great artistic value, Gu Changsheng can't observe other characteristics for the time being......
Recalling the wood carving he had bought for the first time, Gu Changsheng's heart moved slightly at this moment.
Is it a special means similar to what can make him 'live again'?
However, Gu Changsheng quickly shook his head, and then read in self-denial.
"No, it shouldn't be like that. Since there are some differences in image, there must be differences in function. ”
Considering that the previous person's ability was too special, even if Gu Changsheng wanted to take the initiative to try it at this time, it shouldn't be this time......
You can't let him try to die on his own, right?
Slightly retracting the scattered thoughts, Gu Changsheng pondered for a while at this moment, and then realized what the current situation was.
"Because I don't need the information on the Brass Gate for the time being, the phantom that came out of this call directly chose to return it to me......"
Other props?
Looking at the statue in his palm, Gu Changsheng was sure that this thing must be of great use!
If nothing else, at least compared to the unusable flora, this statue is definitely more useful.
That's how it looks.
"If I continue to activate the bench without being able to continue parsing the Brass Door's information, it will lead to some different types of apparitions that will communicate with me?"
Gu Changsheng's thoughts paused for a moment at this moment, he seemed to understand something, but his thoughts were entangled at a certain point, and now his expression became a little strange.
"This sense of déjà vu, this way, is like ......"
Breaking the confines of time and space?
Such a thought came to his mind at this moment, which made Gu Changsheng suddenly realize.
"I see, I see. I think I probably got it......"
By activating the bench through the relics, Gu Changsheng can cross the limits of time, and then intersect with the future, or the virtual shadow of the past!
The monster of Fang Cai is a testament to this.
Gu Changsheng's eyes began to shine, and he paced in the round table hall, and immediately began to summarize his thoughts.
The relic activates a specific object, and when the other party appears, it will do something in response.
For example, the peace of the old monk, for example, the intimacy of the monster.
"Of course, there should be some people who are not easy to communicate with......"
This was the case with Nuwa, who looked cold earlier, and a little later, the air people who saw the twelve countries before were also like this.
In a nutshell......
"I can't judge the quality of the other party through the phantom summoned by the relics, but because of the effect of the round table hall, I can have some non-lethal interactions with them, and through this, I should be able to gather a lot of useful information!"
With this characteristic alone, Gu Changsheng was already full of interest!
After all, only he knows how exaggerated the value of the word 'intelligence' can be.
And judging from the results, Gu Changsheng's harvest is more than that.
He clenched the statue in his hand, and at this moment he couldn't help but think of this object—if he could complete the purpose of friendly communication with the activated object.
Gu Changsheng may even get some 'substantial' rewards!
This is the result of the current statue.
"It's a raffle-like gamble!"
Pay the price, bear the risk, and finally summarize and liquidate.
Every activation of Gu Changsheng could not clearly point to a specific target, which meant that he was 'opening the blind box' from beginning to end.
Luck will play a key role.
After thoroughly understanding such an essence, Gu Changsheng's expression also became a little strange.
After all, due to living habits and some childhood education, Gu Changsheng is not very interested in this kind of blind box smoking behavior similar to 'gambling'.
If you can......
I still hope that a clear table can be listed, so that he can directly know what the price is, so that he can exchange and calculate.
"I didn't expect it, but in the end, I have to rely on luck to act......"
Between sighs, Gu Changsheng was not too complaining. After all, judging from the current situation, this level of exchange is harmless for Gu Changsheng.
And the main point here comes from a rather simple reason.
That is, the initiative has always been in Gu Changsheng's hands.
"It's up to me to judge, it's up to me to weigh it. Whether it's good or bad depends on my own opinion......"
No matter what the result is, since the initiative is in hand, Gu Changsheng will only be the positive party from beginning to end.
In this way, it is enough.
Slowly letting out a long breath of relief, Gu Changsheng easily took the statue into his bag.
- As for the role of this thing, he'll have to study it for the rest of his life. Gu Changsheng thought so, and his gaze also swept down the bench on the side.
“……”
There were a lot of splinters that had surfaced on it.
Gu Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly, stepped forward quickly, and looked closer for a moment.
The traces are indeed gone, and they are much thinner. And the cracks on the top don't seem to be as dense as before......
Does this thing have some degree of self-healing ability?
And that's not all......
Gu Changsheng raised his head, took a look at the situation at the moment, and then noticed something unusual.
"Still there?"
On the bench of the Nuwa Temple, there are blooming flowers, and on top of it, a few bright red thorns grow horizontally.
And this thing is the trace that has been left since the bench was activated before.
It seems that every time the relics used to activate the benches will leave some subtle traces in the round table hall...... I don't know after Gu Changsheng collects more relics.
What will become of these benches?
An inexplicable expectation surged out of his heart, Gu Changsheng nodded slightly, and then gathered his thoughts.
Now I also saw two near thorns on the bench.
Gu Changsheng couldn't help but recall all kinds of information about monsters at the moment.
He subconsciously wanted to analyze the scattered information, but soon, Gu Changsheng gave up again.
After all, what was now in front of him were only two broken logical chains. And if you want to deduce more specific information content......
"I'm missing some of the most important information."
One example is the origin of the yokai.
If this information can be known, this now seemingly fragmented chain of information can all be connected.
Also thinking of this, Gu Changsheng couldn't help but raise his head slightly, and then sighed lightly - it would be nice if there was a chance to do it again.
Go back in time to the timeline between the timelines.
Talk to the abbot again, meet Song Banxian again, and even re-contact with Nuwa Temple.
In fact, because of the lack of intelligence and the lack of its own capabilities. Gu Changsheng didn't know about it until recently...... How rare the first few times I had the opportunity to cross.
It can be said that he didn't take advantage of those opportunities at all.
But that's the status quo.
Time is an irreversible trend, and it is precisely because of this that many things throughout the ages are mixed with many regrets and feelings.
Exam scores, emotional separation. The choice of business, the trade-off of coming and going...... And so on and so forth. Between the pros and cons of these kinds, everyone will have moments of regret.
It would be nice to be able to do it all over again, and if only it could try again.
Today's Gu Changsheng is also lamented by the impermanence of the world.
And yet, while he was thinking about it.
Something he had stored in his pocket began to tremble slightly as his thoughts floated.
Something, at this moment there was some kind of reaction!
Gu Changsheng's scattered thoughts froze in an instant, and finally they all converged, he reached into the bag as if reflexively, and when he grabbed something, he jerked it hard!
I saw a bright light coming at this moment, it was actually a cloth pocket, and now it was emitting a dazzling colored light.
"This thing ......"
Gu Changsheng couldn't help but be stunned at this moment.
Because he knew what was in the bag......
"Brass Sand, why is there a reaction here?"
As the last relic of this trip, Gu Changsheng deliberately kept it to the end, and naturally had considerations. However, before it was taken out, it never thought that it would actually change on its own.
What's going on with this thing?
In a state of confusion, Gu Changsheng saw that this pocket was swollen abruptly! The brass sand inside looked like preheated popcorn, and the whole bag was stretched out at this moment.
Something is wrong......
It's going to explode!
At this point, Gu Changsheng's face tightened, and he threw the bag out with his backhand! I saw an arc crossing, but before the bag hit the ground, I heard a loud bang.
The bag was actually cracked alive.
Gu Changsheng was stunned, and saw the brass sand flying out of the sky, all shining with a crystal clear luster at this moment.
It was like a colorful gemstone, shining with a luxurious luster visible to the naked eye - this was obviously different from the simple appearance before, and it also made Gu Changsheng stunned at the moment.
As a very special material, the brass sand did not have any changes after Gu Changsheng entered the round table hall.
But it worked at this time.
What is the reason for this?
Gu Changsheng's heart moved slightly, and at that moment, he recalled all kinds of thoughts that had surfaced in his mind before.
Don't...... Is it because of those thoughts I just had?
Without knowing the reason, Gu Changsheng did not dare to make a judgment. He had to stand a little farther away at the moment, and then carefully studied the situation in the distance.
I saw that the scattered brass sand did not fall straight to the ground, they seemed to be attracted by something, and before they could land, they directly circled in the air, and finally leaned towards a specific position.
They are like magnets, pulled by something and drifting in a common direction.
Gu Changsheng fixed his eyes and saw that it was the location of the Brass Gate!
"This thing ......"
Gu Changsheng's thoughts kept floating, he had a rather subtle premonition at the moment, but before Gu Changsheng could react further, these brass sands ......
It was directly adsorbed and clinged to the brass door on the far left.
Like an ornament embedded in a door frame, the tightly fitting brass sand is connected to each other, and finally forms a complete ......
Round.
Bright, bright circles surrounded the entire brass door, exuding a dazzling brilliance at this moment, which made Gu Changsheng can't help but turn his face sideways.
There is no other reason for this...... It's too bright.
However, this time did not last long, and soon the light that had spread through the sky dissipated until it finally disappeared into obscurity.
When Gu Changsheng turned his head again, he couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.
Because he saw that the door of brass, which had been petrified, had now opened the 'door' again!
Yes, Gu Changsheng actually saw that the door was pushed open at this moment, and a faint and invisible gap was opened!
黄铜之门又被打开,这意味着什么?
Gu Changsheng didn't know the reason for this, but he only hesitated for a moment at this moment, but he already heard a dull squeak echo.
The doors are closing!
I can't wait to think about it, and if I think about it again, the door will have to be closed by itself!
Gu Changsheng's face was anxious, and he didn't care about weighing the importance at this moment. He stepped forward, and finally pounced on him.
He was like a fish that jumped into the river, and the moment his figure touched the gate, he turned into a stream of color and was sucked into it.
Gu Changsheng's consciousness paused at this moment, and he felt as if he was immersed in the deep sea.
In a haze, Gu Changsheng felt several forces, surging from all directions, enveloping him.
It was like there were several vortices in one breath, trying to pull Gu Changsheng into their side.
Gu Changsheng, who didn't know why, didn't make a further choice, and soon, he was pulled by a force, and finally fell into the depths.
Immersion, depth, darkness, no light......
……
……
……
Gu Changsheng, who had regained consciousness, stood up at this moment.
He sat on the ground, his eyes a little straight.
"I just walked through the brass door that opened a gap? Yes, yes, I remember ......"
The muddy thoughts made him a little sneered, Gu Changsheng stood up, he just stiffened his neck, and subconsciously looked around.
Having crossed the Brass Gate, where is he now?
This is the issue that Gu Changsheng is most concerned about.
It is surrounded by a wasteland and all kinds of weeds. As far as the eye can see, there are also the outlines of some half-slopes and wastelands in the distance, which have no reference value.
Comparatively......
Now next to Gu Changsheng, there is a large-scale building.
He seemed to be lying in the corner of the building......
Gu Changsheng stood still, took two steps back, and raised his eyes to look around.
"This, this building ......"
Between the whispers, Gu Changsheng always felt a very strong sense of déjà vu. When did he seem to have seen this place?
Between the floating thoughts, Gu Changsheng's gaze fell, and finally swept on the horizontal plaque.
Book.
'Golden Mountain Temple'.
