Chapter Eighty-Three: The Temple of the Forty Pillars
The Temple of the Forty Pillars, this temple with only twenty pillars is called the Temple of the Forty Pillars for unknown reasons. The shape of the temple is like the temple of the elves in the Warcraft, and it looks very beautiful in the light of the plants. In front of the temple there was a rectangular pool that looked like a huge pool, but no one continued to pour water into it due to the temple's dilapidation. Next to the pit, directly opposite the temple, there was a chair fixed to the ground, which seemed to be the man resting.
At the entrance of the Temple of the Forty Pillars there are twenty tall stone pillars like Roman pillars, which are entwined with vines. At the top of the temple, there was a huge statue of a woman, with long hair, a pair of wings behind her back, her hands folded, dressed in priestly clothes, with her head tilted up, as if she was praying for something, not like an underworld.
As a linguist, Mary naturally mingled with the Gallic expeditions. Her mission today is to decipher the inscription of the temple through the introduction of the underworld. It's not so much an inscription as a temple need. Looking at the words on the huge stone in front of the temple, the underworld people translated it for Mary, and the general situation was: "Thieves and thieves enter this place only to die, and the temple is only an instrument to activate, and the opening button is at the highest point at the top of the temple of the forty pillars." ”
Mary looked up at the statue, pointed to it and asked, "Didn't you say that the opening button was at the top of the Temple of the Forty Pillars, and that was the statue?" ”
The underground man waved his hand and said angrily: "What forty pillars, it is clearly a twenty-pillar temple, only these twenty pillars in front of the gate, and there are no other pillars at all." And we've been up to the statue a long time ago, and we haven't found any mechanism. ”
Mary rubbed her chin and muttered, "Isn't there any mechanism?" ”
At this time, Mary found that the statue had been climbed by Gaul explorers, and after a while, it seemed that she had found nothing, as the people of the earth had said. At this time, the exploration team gathered together again and said, "Mary, you are a linguist, do you see anything from the inscription of the underground people?" ”
Mary shook her head, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and said, "It's not an inscription, but a message that tells where the switch of this temple is." Then he looked at the people who had just climbed up to the statue and asked, "Didn't you find anything in that statue?" ”
The members of the exploration team just now shook their heads, and said helplessly: "I didn't find anything, did the underground people remember the temple by mistake, this temple clearly only has twenty pillars, where did the forty pillars come from?" ”
Mary said, "That's what the underground man said before, this temple has only twenty pillars, and there are no forty at all. Either the name of the underworld who built the temple was misremembered. ”
"Sassy ......"
With a sound of agitation, a tiger the size of a rhinoceros suddenly rushed out of the grass and rushed directly to the Gauls' exploration party, whose captain shouted: "Not good, there is danger! ”
Everyone hurriedly dispersed, and at this time, the underground guards around them rushed over with spraying insects, aiming at the huge tiger and shooting. Bundles of powerful liquid instantly shot into the tiger's body, and strings of blood were shot out. In an instant, the tiger was beaten into a sieve by the guards of the underground people, and fell to the ground panting and dying.
Fortunately, there are underground people to protect it, otherwise it will be troublesome, what a false alarm. Frightened, Mary ran around the swimming pool-like rectangle, ran to the chair and sat down, looked at the tiger who fell to the ground and was shot down by several guards with sprayworms, let out a sigh, stroked the bangs that were so frightened that she ran away, and pouted: "I'm really scared to death." ”
Mary pulled out a vanity case and began to slowly arrange her face in front of the mirror. ran violently, sweating, and spent a lot of light makeup on his body, so he hurriedly touched up his makeup and applied powder. When everything was done, Mary's mood calmed down. As Mary was about to close the vanity case, she glanced through the mirror of the vanity case at the pink mouth inside the mirror. He was slightly stunned, then blinked, raised his head and glanced at the forty-pillar temple directly opposite him, across the pool. Then I took a look at the rectangular pit in front of me, which looked like a swimming pool, and finally at the lipstick in the vanity case that reflected in the mirror.
Mary rubbed her brow slightly, and then happily closed the makeup case, put it into her arms, and shouted excitedly: "Hahahaha, everyone, I know what's going on, I know what's going on in the Forty Pillars Temple!! ”
Not only the Gauls, but even the people of the underground looked at Mary with puzzled expressions, only to see Mary dancing and saying, "Reflection! It's a reflection! ”
"Huh?"
Mary waved her hand and told the crowd to hurry to her place. Mary sat on the chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and said with a look of anger: "We have all been misled, this temple is indeed a forty-pillar temple, not a twenty-pillar temple. ”
The Captain of Exploration asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Mary wiped her nose, pointed to the rectangular pool below, and smiled proudly, "Do you see this pool in front of you, what will happen if you fill this pool with water?" And then sit in my seat and look at the temple, what kind of effect will the clothes have? ”
The exploration captain came behind Mary, bent down slightly, and looked at the temple from Mary's seat, looking over the rectangular pool, and the captain was suddenly startled: "You mean the reflection!?" ”
Mary snapped her fingers and said with a smile, "That's right, Reflection." If the pool is filled with water, sit in my position and look over, and the reflection of the Temple of the Forty Pillars will appear on the water. And twenty pillars will also emerge from the water, and combined with the existence of twenty temple pillars, these forty pillars of the temple will also live up to its name. The Temple of the Forty Pillars says, 'The open button is at the top of the Temple of the Forty Pillars,' and we mistakenly think it's on the statue above the temple. In fact, after confirming the reflection, we can find that the switch of the temple is at the bottom of this rectangular pool. ”
After Mary said this, everyone suddenly realized why the temple with only twenty pillars should be called the temple of forty pillars, and there will be a huge rectangular pool in front of the temple, and there will be a chair directly opposite the temple next to the pool, and the exploration captain hurriedly ordered: "Quickly take out the holographic projector and simulate the water surface and reflection in the pool from this angle!" ”
"Yes!"
Soon, the pool was filled with "water" under the holographic projection, sparkling, and under the bright light of the surrounding plants and insects, forty pillars appeared in front of everyone's eyes one after another, just as Mary had speculated. The exploration captain swallowed his saliva, cautiously jumped off the pool, and slowly walked towards the statue in the reflection under the guidance of the exploration team members on the pool.
With a "click", when the exploration leader reached the highest point of the statue in the reflection, it seemed to touch some mechanism, the ground trembled, and a huge vine broke through the ground directly from under the pool, causing the exploration leader to retreat again and again. A flower bone slowly grew on this vine, the fluorescent flower bone bud is about to be released, a teenage little Lori hugging her knees, curled in the flowers, with long pink hair, fair skin, and a pair of transparent wings behind her back, like a flower fairy, looks quite cute.
At this time, I saw that Xiao Lori stretched her waist, slowly opened her eyes, looked at the people in front of her, stood up, flapped her wings, slowly floated on the flowers, and said excitedly: "Ah, it's an underground person, well, there are other aliens?" It seems that you haven't been able to return to life on the surface yet, but that's okay, I'll leave it to me. ”
Everyone looked at this scene in front of them in amazement, and the exploration captain opened his mouth and asked, "Carving... The woman on the statue, you ...... Who are you? ”
The flower fairy Lori blinked, stared at the exploration captain, and said with a smile in Gaul: "Me? I'm the AI of the Forty Pillars Temple, the flower of the century 'Luo Lian', hehehehehe. Now that you've awakened me, let the plants return to the surface as you wish, I've detected that the sandstorm on the ground has weakened much, much. ”
Luo Lian flew in the air, holding a glowing sphere in both hands, and smashed it to the ground. Immediately after that, the ball of light spread rapidly like a shock wave, and the next second the entire underground world began to tremble, and those plants that originally grew in the ground began to grow wildly, breaking through layers of thick soil, piercing through the ground, and reaching the surface of the request. In just an hour or so, one-tenth of the surface of Taal was covered with green vegetation, and the wind and sand disappeared.
The changes on the ground were naturally transmitted to the exploration team through the news, and at this time, I saw Luo Lian smile and said, "Okay, there are still nine temples, let's keep up the good work!" ”
