Gao Ping is so small, I'm afraid that he will be swallowed by a water bat in one bite.

Just as the water bat swallowed Gao Ping into his stomach, a huge monument stopped in front of him.

The water bat didn't have time to turn around and hit the monument headlong.

In an instant, blood was splattered, and the surrounding water was stained red.

The massive body of the water bat sinks into the murky water.

Gao Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But before everyone's hearts could be put down, the water bat resurfaced from the water.

Half of the water bat's head has been smashed away, and only half of its head remains.

The water bat looked at Gao Ping with an even more blood-red eye.

Gao Ping was also worried at this time, wondering if the pharaoh monument guarding in front of him could withstand another impact from the water bat.

Unexpectedly, the water bat turned around and fled.

All that's left is a mess.

Everyone turned the boat over again and counted the number of people.

Thankfully, no one was hurt.

Everyone continued to paddle forward.

The water in front of us was getting shallower and shallower, and slowly everyone came to a black swamp.

Everyone is familiar with the swamp, because there are many children who live next to the swamp all year round.

He has a lot of experience walking on the swamp.

A few children weaved a large wooden shoe from a tree branch and tied it to their feet, and walked hand in hand from the swamp.

The swamp stretches as far as the edge goes, with no edge in sight.

Everyone is just walking towards the wind ahead.

Fortunately, the whole terrain is high in the front and low in the back, so everyone can clearly see that it stands high between the two mountains, otherwise you have to lose your way.

In this way, everyone rested on the spot when they were tired, ate a little dried meat of the snake when they were hungry, and took some drinking water nearby when they were thirsty.

It took a week of walking to get out of the swamp and into an open flat field.

Gao Ping looked at the mountain in front of him and the tuyere getting closer and closer, feeling that he would be able to walk to the tuyere in a few days, and he was much happier.

There are also a variety of wild fruits along the way, just enough to be picked.

For more than half a month after entering the Tatuo River, everyone was eating dried meat.

Although I have a lot of energy, I feel bored when I eat too much.

These wild fruits on the side of the road can just improve everyone's taste.

Gao Ping tried to communicate with the Divine Monument with his heart, but the Divine Monument did not respond at all.

Could it be that the pharaoh in the monument has fallen asleep again?

Will Pharaoh Shennong still wake up?

Gao Ping used his divine sense to take a closer look at the Divine Monument.

There were originally thousands of cracks on the pharaoh's stele, but now there are only a few dozen deep stripes left.

It seems that this monument is indeed constantly being repaired.

Maybe in the last battle, Pharaoh Shennong was also greatly injured and was recuperating.

When the dozens of deep cracks on the Divine Monument are repaired, Pharaoh Shennong may wake up again.

Being in the Eight Treasure Gourd, Gao Ping was also confused.

The eight great pharaohs should all have a lot of knowledge, and maybe they can give themselves some guidance.

It's a pity that it sleeps.

I can only rely on myself!

The road ahead has become much better.

Everyone's mood has become much more cheerful with the open terrain.

There was talk and laughter along the way, but it was also quite relaxed.

Several children also recited the ballads of the thirteen states of the extreme west:

"In the spring, pluck the redbud and offer it to your lover

In the summer, the papyrus was cut and offered to the owner.

In autumn, rice is harvested and offered to parents.

In winter, the fruit is hidden and offered to the sun god.

Thank you for the blessings that the sun god has brought us,

Your people live in the light of your mercy.

Thank the sun god for the flesh and life he has given us, and your people will live in the light of your mercy.

I live in your protection,

I feel the supreme glory ......"

Finally came to the tuyere between the two mountains.

Gao Ping led everyone to walk in against the strong wind blowing in the wind.

After entering, the sky, which had been like day, suddenly darkened and entered the night.

There is only a little golden light on the sky created by the gourd wall, like twinkling stars.

Gaoping and they seem to be halfway up the mountainside, and they go all the way down after passing the tuyere.

The surrounding mountains are steep, and there is only one path leading below.

The road is so narrow that you can't even find a place to sit and sit, and if you're not careful, you'll fall into the abyss.

After walking for about half a day, everyone was already tired and out of breath.

"Look," exclaimed the big-eared mouse, "what is that?" ”

Gao Ping looked at it, and a stone door appeared about 30 meters above.

When I went down all the way just now, I didn't find it because the mountain rocks blocked the view, and the gate was not on the side of the road.

"It's a temple, it's supposed to be a temple!" An old voice came from the pharaoh's monument.

Gao Ping's heart moved: "Pharaoh Shennong, are you awake?" ”

"Yes," said Pharaoh Shennong, "you kid is lucky, judging from the appearance, it is obvious that this is a temple, and looking at this momentum, it is definitely born from the divine thoughts of the high level of the gods." ”

Gao Ping wondered in his heart: "What do you mean, is there still a saying about the origin of the temple?" ”

"Of course, do you think that any house you build can be used as a temple? Generally, after the death of a cultivator in the Divine Stage, he buries his body in the ground, and then builds a temple on it, and each temple is guarded by a divine thought of a cultivator in the Divine Stage, and at the same time, it will also protect the ethnic groups who come to the temple to worship. ”

"All temples claim to be able to bless worshippers......"

Before Gao Ping's words were finished, Pharaoh Shennong choked and said, "What do you know, the temple guarded by the cultivators of the Transformation Stage can bring tangible benefits!" ”

As soon as he heard that there were tangible benefits, Gao Ping immediately came to his senses and hurriedly asked, "What benefits?" ”

"Every time you sacrifice to the temple, you can get a trace of divine thoughts from the cultivators of the Transformation Period."

"A hint of divine thought?"

"Yes, this trace of divine thought has some comprehension from cultivators in the Transformation Period, and it is very precious, and it can save people who have embarked on the path of cultivation from many detours."

"So powerful?! Will not the one who comes to the sacrifice crush his head? ”

"How can it be so simple, the number of sacrifices required is so rare that not everyone can afford it, and a temple can only be sacrificed once a year."

"Then if every year the temple divides a wisp of the god of the cultivators of the god transformation stage, won't it be divided after a long time?"

"The divine thoughts that are divided each time are only one-thousandth of what the temple has, and the divine thoughts themselves will repair themselves with the deduction of time, so the temple can last for a long time."

Gao Ping's burning eyes looked at the gate of the temple towering on the mountainside, turned to the others and said:

"You guys are waiting for me down there, I'll climb in and take a look."

After Gao Ping finished speaking, he didn't wait for others to respond, and climbed up directly.

Gao Ping ate mangled jerky every day during this time, and his body was full of energy, so he climbed up with his bare hands, and there was no problem.

In addition, he has long been dressed in copper skin and iron bones, even if he accidentally falls from such a high place, he will be fine.

The mountain is steep, Gao Ping climbed up, and the people below all carried a heart, for fear that Gao Ping would accidentally fall.

Finally, Gao Ping climbed to the door of the temple, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

When Gao Ping climbed to the front of the temple gate, he found that there was still a large open space in front of the temple gate.

Just because from the bottom up, it is visually as if the temple gate appears directly on the mountainside.

In front of the temple door, there is a large skull on the left and right sides.

The skull is almost as tall as a human being.

From the skull's eyes, he wore two rusty iron chains, and fastened the skull to the towering stone pillars on either side of the temple.

The whole atmosphere is eerie and eerie.

Gao Ping sighed in his heart, such a big skull, the entire body is probably more than ten meters high.

Is there really such a tall giant in this world?

Who did the two giants in front of them offend, and after they died, their heads were still chained in front of the temple door.

Seeing such a strange scene, Gao Ping also muttered in his heart, should he go in?

Judging from the two skulls tied in front of the door, this temple is probably not simple, and it should be extremely dangerous inside.

Gao Ping wanted to turn around and leave, but this temple seemed to have a great attraction for him.

"Isn't entering the vast world of the immortal banyan just to get a chance? How can you back down at a critical moment? ”

Gao Ping gritted his teeth and walked to the temple gate, looking at the temple's closed stone door, which was painted with various hunting and sacrificial paintings.

"From the picture on the door, it can be seen that this temple should be the temple of the human race." The voice of Pharaoh Shennong came from the pharaoh monument again.

"What do you mean? Are temples still divided into human and beast races? ”

"Of course, if the beast clan cultivates to a certain extent, it can also break away from the beast form and reach the realm of transforming into a god, and after death, the divine mind can also protect a temple."

"Is there any difference between a Terran temple and a god temple?"

"Of course, there is a difference, the Terran temple can only be sacrificed by the Terran to obtain a trace of divine thought, and the sacrifice generally requires the body of the beast race. The beast temple can only be sacrificed by the beast clan to obtain a trace of divine thought, and the sacrifice is generally the corpse of the human race. ”

"No wonder the rift between the human race and the beast race is so deep, I can't wait to strangle each other to death."

"Yes, it is precisely because the temple needs to sacrifice the corpse of the other party that there is a constant war between the human race and the beast race, and they are constantly destroying each other's temples. With the decline of the Terrans, the Orcs have the upper hand, and the original accumulated heritage has been continuously exhausted, only in some inaccessible places, there are still some Terran temples. ”

"In your time, the Terran has declined, and the back is even more miserable, I heard the elders in the family say that although the Orcs now respect the Terran Pharaoh, it is only because the Terrans hold the secrets of the pyramid in their hands, and they have an absolute advantage to maintain the harmony with the Terran on the surface, in fact, the Terran Pharaoh is now just an empty shell."

"Alas...... I didn't expect the human race to decline to this point! ”

"Yes, in the entire Lower Tatuo Dynasty, the Orcs occupied the most fertile land, and the Terrans could only live in the desert and saline-alkali land, and were reduced to the inferior races of the Tatuo Dynasty."

Pharaoh Shennong no longer spoke, and since he became a god monument of the Tatuo Dynasty, he had no way to understand what was going on.
