Volume 1: Ancestral Mountain Burning Immortals - Altar of Caution Chapter 53: Rush to the Wild Shrine
Ah Ying wiped a handful of tears: "Yes, I knew that I wouldn't let them return to Witch Coffin Town, you said, if I stopped them at that time, maybe they wouldn't have disappeared." ”
She paused, choked up:
"I didn't mean to lie to you, I'm afraid that if I said the curse of the ancient witch, you won't dare to come!"
Song Siyuan calmed down a bit, the information she got was really shocking to her, the strange things they encountered from the beginning of entering Witch Coffin Town may have come from the so-called ancient witches.
She pondered for a moment, trying to clear the fog in front of her: "If that's the case, then your parents must not be going to the wild forest, maybe somewhere else!" ”
"Have you ever heard them say anything like that about where they're going when they come to Witch Coffin?"
Song Siyuan's words were to the truth, Ah Ying's eyes turned around, and a strange light flashed:
"I can't remember much when I was a child, but my aunt said that the witch coffin town can last for thousands of years, relying on respect for ancestors and the transmission of knowledge through the ages."
"Ancestors revered... Generations of knowledge... Deliver? ”
Song Siyuan muttered to herself, putting Ah Ying's words in her head and chewing carefully.
"That, it can't be a realm like the ancestral hall, just like the dancing ghost building we saw."
Lu Fengjian's words, Song Siyuan quite agreed, she nodded and said:
"It is possible for Feng Jian to say, but the ancestral hall cannot do the transmission of knowledge, and there is at most respect for the ancestors."
"Private schools, only private schools or schools, will play a role in transmitting knowledge!"
When the words fell, Ah Ying's eyes flashed, she dragged the map of the witch coffin in Yue Guanchao's hand, rummaged through it, pointed to one of them and said:
"My aunt told me that the Witch Coffin Town has its own inheritance, and the Wild Coffin Hall stores the classics collected by each generation of the Witch Coffin Town, and this place is also equivalent to a private school, and all the children born in the Witch Coffin Town will be taught knowledge by the witches in charge of the Wild Coffin Hall here!"
"I think, if my father and aunt really want to find a way to lift the curse, I will definitely go to the wild house, there are so many books here, is there no way to lift the curse?"
Song Siyuan looked at the place she pointed to and said to Yue Guanchao, "Our next step is to go to the valley mentioned by Uncle Utuman, or to the Wild Hall, where there may really be traces of his parents." ”
Yue Guanchao looked at Ah Ying's expectant eyes, they had come to this point, and it was a pity to give up halfway, he thought about the possible consequences, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and shouted: "As the old saying goes, if you send the Buddha to the west, you have to go to the cave room, then we will give up our lives and go to the wild hall to play a trick." ”
……
Follow the map and go through the woods.
Yue Guanchao followed the direction of the witch coffin map, and led them all the way, because they were still carrying the injured Xiao Wu, they did not walk fast, and finally arrived at the end of the wild forest after an hour.
Located at the junction of the forest and the town, if you look down from the top of the cliff, you will find that the house is completely separated from the lush wilderness, and the two are clearly separated, as if they were divided in two by a mysterious force.
Look carefully, this wild building is more peculiar and weird than the dancing ghost building, and it has changed the simplicity and primitiveness of the dancing ghost building, and has become majestic!
In front of everyone's eyes, there is a two-person high rammed earth abutment, and the trapezoidal foundation wall hangs a "zigzag" staircase, which can be climbed up the stairs.
Looking up into the distance, the stone fort building is neat and strong, the barrier is tight, and in the cover of the thick mist, you can vaguely see the cracked and damaged tiger wolf town gate beast, and the eagle god pillar floating with tattered flags.
When they walked up the stone steps to the rammed earth abutment with weeds, two mottled and rusty bronze statues came into view, and from afar they could see the collapsed and broken monument of the ancestors, and the exterior wall paintings had faded and had long since lost their brilliance.
All the buildings here are covered with loess leaves, and occasionally birdsong is heard, as if waiting for someone to open its long-dusty secret again!
Bang!
Yue Guanchao pushed open the old gate of the wild hall, and everyone held their breath, although there was no burning smell here, the dust raised was unexpectedly choking.
"Ahem... What a strange layout here! ”
Song Siyuan turned on the flashlight and shone it on her head, and there was a plaque of "Wild Hall" hanging on the lintel outside the hall!
Walk into the wild hall and then enter a door, there is also a black plaque on the lintel of the second door, on which the three ink characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dance are written on the "worship hall".
Twelve bronze screen doors stand at the waist of the hall, dividing the worship hall into two parts, the front and back.
The east and west walls of the front hall have each open the corridor door, the north wall is furnished with sacrificial incense cases and several futons, the bronze pine lamp stand of half a person high stands stands on the left and right, a plurality of candlesticks are placed at the joints of the branches, and the white candle tears are full of pine branches, as if the copper frame is full of bright flowers!
If the most special is the relief painting in front of the incense case.
The gods carved from these twelve screen doors have strange postures and ghostly atmospheres, like the soul seduction judges in the City God Temple, and the faces of all the gods seem to point to the same person!
Yue Guanchao was afraid that he would be dazzled, so he carefully looked at the screen door.
These screens have been mottled and faded over decades of corrosion, but the image of this god can still be recognized!
