Volume 1: Ancestral Mountain Burning Immortals - Altar of Solemnity Chapter 94: Underground Ruins
Diagonal Chelation Ridge, West Mountain, Plank Road
I don't know how many years the plank road grotto has been drilled, the stone cracks have been cracked, the spring water washes the surface smooth like a mirror, and some low-lying stone pits even accumulate spring water, covered with moss.
In the dark environment, there are often pikas, snakes and scorpions lurking in the dark, coldly drilling out of the rocks, and a few seeping strange screams.
Yue Guanchao turned on the flashlight to shine in the direction, and every once in a while, there would be stone niches chiseled into the inner wall.
These stone niches are not exquisite, but more primitive and rough with hammer chisel and axe, and the gods enshrined in them are arm-sized mountain ghosts!
The only thing that makes people feel exceptional, that is the green glass beads inlaid on the top of the stone niche, which is illuminated by the sunlight of the stone window on the outer wall of the tunnel, and the mountain ghost statue is reflected in the green light, and then accompanied by the mysterious seal text on the left and right of the alcove, which is even more ghostly.
"Brother Yue, won't this mountain ghost also be alive, right?"
Ah Ying looked at the deep and strange eyes of the ghost of Xianshan, and unconsciously shrunk her neck.
Of course, Yue Guanchao didn't know what was going on, and looked at Song Siyuan with a pleading eye, she smiled and explained:
"I think this place should be a tunnel dug by the ancestors of Su Shen, and these shrines are just used by them to express their feelings, just like the Taishan stone placed on the back wall after the completion of the house dares to be a god card, just a means of praying."
"However, the age of this tunnel is indeed not young, and it has been thousands of years since a mountain like this has appeared in a pool."
"That'll be fine."
After staying away from the heat and bitterness of the outside world, there was a little more coolness, they walked while talking, and they did not feel tired under their feet, and when they turned a few mountain bays and stepped down the stone steps, the hazy white light at the end of the plank road was close to the end of the road.
They walked out of the plank road in one go, and their eyes suddenly opened up!
Yue Guanchao looked up, and the hazy sky above his head was especially there, but they were already at the bottom of the cliff of the Diagonal Ridge, and after the sky was covered by dense vegetation, it was like dusk, and they could only discern the direction.
"You see, these look like those monsters."
Lu Fengjian was looking around with a flashlight, and there were many corpses scattered on the riverbank, some of which happened to hang on the trees at the bottom of the cliff, and the liver and gallbladder were hidden and hung with branches, flowing all over the ground.
Yue Guanchao picked up the wooden stick and stabbed the corpse slightly, and nodded at everyone: "It seems that the top is connected to the bottom of the cliff, we have come to the right place, as long as we go in the direction of the waterfall, we can probably find the altar." ”
"Let's go!"
They walked along the river at the bottom of the cliff towards the waterfall, and the closer they got to the waterfall, the more they could feel the moat widening!
Thousands of years of erosion at the base of the cliff have opened up new channels, and countless river beaches have been washed out of oases by tributaries and dotted like pastries at the bottom of the cliff.
When they came to the end of the river beach, mysterious and primitive stone statues appeared on the mountain walls on both sides.
The statue resembles a human face as a whole, with vertical eyes, a high nose, slightly open lips, a mysterious smile on his face, a three-dimensional bone face, a crown of horns on his head, and sun and moon earrings on his left and right ears.
The whole is slightly larger than the small building, and the whole body is inlaid with red copper sheets, probably because of the age, the copper sheets are rusty, as if the human face has green spots, revealing an ancient and mysterious atmosphere!
The two idols are opposed to each other, like the giant gods of the sky, guarding the totem gate that appears in "The Secret of Zuhyeon".
Yue Guanchao looked far away, this totem gate was more majestic than they expected, and a word unconsciously popped up in his mind:
"Gate of Heaven"!
The whole totem gate is the frieze, the ground is the threshold, and the east and west mountain walls are used as two frames, and the gaps between the mountains are all occupied, and the total width has passed ten zhang!
If you look closely, the main body of the altar door is a giant mountain stone.
The surface of this stone is carved with two layers of concentric stone rings, and the five-colored stone pillars are evenly riveted between the stone rings, and a huge groove is knocked out and covered with red gold copper sheets.
As a result, the yellow and golden copper sheets were able to splice the outline of the altar gate, and at the same time, it also added a gorgeous and mysterious background to the heavenly gate!
Above the gate of heaven, there are sun and yin totems on the left and right, representing the rise and fall of the east and west of the world, the top and bottom are inlaid with 28 constellations with glaze, and the outline is hooked with gold wire between the various stars, the ancient stars are collected perfectly, and a dragon with eyes like red stone and golden scales and horns is wound in all directions.
They meander between the gates of heaven, like the beasts of the stone gate, intimidating all the creatures who come to cause trouble.
The highlight is still in the center of Tianmen!
Here hangs a very huge ox head golden crow, such as the five-fold tower of the city, standing in front of the people.
The golden crow, since ancient times, is the symbol of the sun, so it is named "red crow", is one of the mythical birds in ancient Chinese myths and legends.
Look closely, the two-horned majestic and fiery eyes of the ox-headed golden crow stretched out its Kunpeng wings, covering the sun and moon around the gate of heaven under its wings, the feathers on its body were distinct and delicate, and the angry eyes looked at the majestic and hideous state, as if the prehistoric golden crow god had really turned into a guardian saint, guarding this rare underground altar in the world!
The three sharp claws of the golden crow turned into arches, which served as the only exit from the altar.
Song Siyuan looked at the behemoth in front of her, and unconsciously picked up the camera and put it into the film.
"This is the door to the altar?"
Hotaru looked ahead, her eyes flashing with curiosity.
