Chapter 44: Exploration

When I entered the temple, I saw an empty hall in the light of the fire, and it didn't seem to have anything of value. Bayeru came to the corner and saw a brazier erected, about a man tall. He put the torch in, but after a while, he never saw the fire ignite.

When Baden saw this, he came to the brazier, looked at it on tiptoe, and said, "Don't try it, the contents have been burned clean, can you still light an empty brazier?" Let's go outside and get some wood and come back, and we'll raise the brazier and make it brighter. ”

To tell the truth, although this hall looks very tall and majestic, but it is not livable, the whole hall does not see a single window, gloomy and dim, it is still afternoon outside, the sun is just right, there is no light inside, which evil god will not be worshipped, right?

Baden's heart was a little drumming.

He checked the ashes in the brazier with his fingers, lowered his head, and saw that there was a jar under the brazier shelf, and carefully opened it to see, it was a black semi-solid thing, which should be the commonly used fire oil here, this thing is cheap and flammable, but it burns with a lot of smoke, which is not suitable for home use. The oil has been stored for too long, and it has volatilized a lot, becoming very viscous, close to a semi-solid form.

At this time, Guimet and Symbite came back with a large bundle of dry firewood, and Baden put the firewood in the brazier, and said by the way: "Everyone find the brazier, add firewood to it, and there should be fire oil under the shelf, pour it in and light the fire." ”

As he spoke, he poured some of the oil at his feet, threw the torch in, and with a "boom", the fire burned. While the fuel in the brazier was burning, a large amount of black smoke was emitted, emitting a pungent smell.

"Ahem, let's put less fire oil, the smoke is too big. Baden coughed as he reminded the others.

Wisez looked at the oil tank in his hand, turned his head to look at Bardem, and said, "Boss, you said it earlier next time, I'm all down." ”

"How much did you pour?"

"There's still a little bit of bottom. ”

"Ahem, let's just stay away. You say that you always use this oil oil, and the smoke is so loud that no matter what god it is, it is all blackened. Bardem said to the players.

"Uh, Boss, we're in the temple, aren't you scared when you say that?" reminded the young medicine elder weakly.

Baden turned his head to look around, suddenly closed his mouth, and bowed silently in his heart, before he said: "I just checked the brazier, and the ashes in it are still fresh, and there is no dust or cobwebs on it." I think someone came in last time. It seems that there should be nothing to be gained in this hall. ”

"You can think in a better direction, at least there is no danger. The young medicine elder said.

"I'd rather be in danger than the gains. Bayeru said, surveying the hall as they all lit the brazier. Suddenly, as if he had noticed something, he said to everyone, "Have you seen a statue? If this is a temple, why don't you have a statue?"

Everyone looked around the hall, the hall was still quite high, the brazier did not fully illuminate the dark place, the floor was messy, and many messy things were thrown on the ground, which did not look like it was there. Moreover, no one found a representative sign, no sign indicating what kind of god it was, not even a statue.

"This, maybe the gods they believe in don't need statues, just like a country in the southwest, believing in animism, claiming to have eight million gods flickering. It's not a big deal to have a god here who doesn't use statues. Baden rummaged around the hall to see if there was anything missing, and he forced an explanation.

"Although it seems that it has been searched by the previous wave of people, let's search it for everyone, in case there is a leak of the previous wave of people. ”

"Also, temples usually have basements or something, and it looks like they haven't found them, so let's look for them. ”

Jimi listened and said, "I don't think our luck will be better, besides, this temple is at least 1,000 years old, if there is any mechanism to open the door or something, it should be broken." ”

Although they didn't have expectations, everyone continued to search the temple with the firelight, in case the shit was lucky.

Unfortunately, the search continued until evening, when it was getting dark, and nothing of value was found, except that the hunter found a fragment of bronze. Everyone looked at it and unanimously felt that if it was complete, it would be worth a little money, and it was estimated that no one would spend a lot of money on this fragment. The aristocrats are all dead to save face, and the fragments are downgraded.

By this time it was almost dark, and everyone decided to stay in the temple at night, and it was better to have a house than in the wilderness, and to look for it outside tomorrow to see if there was anything to be gained.

The hunter and Jimet went out hunting, and the rest of the men prepared hay, firewood, and took a brazier and put it on the ground to make a fire. Before it was completely dark, the two hunters came back with two rabbits and three pheasants, as well as some eggs.

After cleaning up, everyone sat around the fire and barbecued meat, because there was nothing to gain today, and everyone's mood was a little low. Speaking of which, they have built so many braziers, and it has been quite long, but they have never felt stuffy, and the ventilation measures of this temple are very good.

Baden was roasting meat in front of the fire, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, and said, "Do you see any place to live in this temple?"

"Nope. ”

"I didn't see it. ”

Everyone said that there was no place to live, although this temple looks quite big, but inside is an empty hall, and there is no secret door, so it is impossible for the temple to sleep in the hall or something. Even if the sacrifice was willing, their gods might not be willing.

"Since there is no place for people to live in the temple, then they must live outside, and the collapsed houses outside should be people's houses, but the quality is not as good as this temple, and they all collapsed. We'll look for it tomorrow, and the sacrifices should be quite rich. Baden said.

"Yes, this temple is so conspicuous, the last wave of people must have been the first to search here, and it is so empty, there are good things to see at a glance. Something may be crushed on the outside, and it is impossible to find it all at once. Wisez agreed.

Saying this, everyone rejoiced again. After eating, adding some firewood, they all went to sleep. It's not easy to do any private activities in this big court.

In the middle of the night, Yao Lao felt a little panicked, so he picked up a torch and lit it to go outside to release water. When I went outside, it was actually quite bright outside, but everything seemed to be covered with a layer of blood, which looked very grotesque and weird.

The young Yao Lao looked up and saw that it was the middle of the moon, and it was the time of the blood moon again, and at this time, the sun was right in the middle, and from his point of view, it seemed to be right above the temple.

He finished draining the water and went back to the temple. Just in time to see a beam of moonlight shining on the stone platform in the temple, which should theoretically be a place where the idol of the god was worshipped.
