Chapter Twenty-Three: We Were the Gods of Men!

Coming to the top of the Iwatu Mountain, Lanya found that the peak of the Iwatu Mountain was actually a large platform, as if the upper part of the entire mountain was directly cut off by a terrifying demon knife and then removed, considering the terrifying power of the monsters in this world, Lanya felt that his thoughts were completely possible.

After greeting the two demon dogs in charge of patrolling and inspecting the guards, Ranya continued on his way, and soon came across the cave of the three commanders.

But unexpectedly, the place where these three commanders live is not the deep darkness of the imagination, scattered with dense and terrifying human bones.

It's actually a temple-like building.

A temple with green tiles and red walls, looming under the shade of green trees!

Ranya felt that her brain was a little inadequate.

What about the horror monster lair?

What about the primitiveness and roughness of the good, and the white bones everywhere?

Why didn't the monster's cave look like what he had imagined?

Suppressing the doubts in his mind at this time, Lanya continued to move forward.

Passing through a torii gate in the shape of an "open" and then up the stone steps, Ranya soon found a wide bluestone paved plaza at the end of the stone steps.

On both sides of the square are two rows of neatly arranged ancient trees at a considerable distance, and there are bluestone buildings of different heights between the ancient trees, and on both sides of the central road of the square, there are actually placed stone lamps, demon dog sculptures and shrines.

It's just that these stone creations are clearly full of age, and the faces of the canine-headed human figures in the shrine have been blurred by the grinding of time.

The demon dogs at the foot of the mountain drink blood and live in primitive caves, and the monster leaders on the mountain actually live in well-built temples, especially the green trees on both sides of this road, which are obviously specially planted, and the carving style is primitive and artistic......

Ranya was dumbfounded, the world was so crazy that the youkai had begun gardening and sculpture.

It couldn't be a building built by the youkai, Ranya realized, because the style of the building was infused with a strong human atmosphere.

But on the Yantu Mountain, where the dignified leader of the dog demon clan lived, why did there appear a building built by humans?

At this time, Lanya suddenly thought of the history that the old Yan Dog had told them.

It is said that hundreds of years ago, the ancestors of human beings used to pray for protection in the territory of the demon clan as slaves, could this temple be built by humans hundreds of years ago......

Then

At the end of the square, a huge building soars, and the dark gate slowly opens.

"Come here, little one. ”

Lan Yue's slightly magnetic voice sounded.

Entering the interior of this huge building, there is an empty hall, supported by two rows of stone pillars on both sides, and the space behind the stone pillars is hidden in the darkness, and the whole hall looks unusually empty and deserted.

At the end of the hall are seven huge round platforms like divine seats, which can be seen to have been carved with solemn and gorgeous patterns, but they have also become blurred with the tempering of time, but they still have a bit of the sacred majesty of the past.

The Great Commander of Lan Gu sat on the largest altar in the center, and on the left and right sides were the two Commanders Lan Yue and Lan Feng, sitting on two divine platforms that were slightly smaller in size.

Lan Gu's face was calm, his physique was strong and distinct, sitting there as majestic and solemn as a real god statue, Lan Yue stared at Lan Ya and smiled, the two small tiger teeth were clearly visible, and Lan Feng was lazily crossing Erlang's legs, and he looked at Lan Ya without a glance.

"I've seen three Commanders. ”

Ranya bowed his head respectfully.

"You must be surprised to be here, little one. The first to speak was Commander Lan Yue, who smiled and said, "Have you never seen such a strange lair, but it feels far more gorgeous and majestic than a cave? ”

Then you look down on us traversers, it's just a broken temple, but I've seen the Oriental Pearl Tower with my own eyes......

The part of the soul that belongs to modern youth has begun to habitually complain again.

I thought so in my heart, but I didn't dare to say it on my lips.

Lan Ya nodded respectfully, and said with a slight look of surprise:

"This is the architecture of man?"

"That's right," said the Great Commander Lan Gu, his voice deep and rough, "Old Yan Dog must have told you that hundreds of years ago, humans were slaves who served our clan, and this shrine was built by human slaves for the dog clan at that time. ”

"Do you know what a shrine is?"

Ranya was about to reply "I don't know", but before Ranya could answer, the Grand Commander continued to talk to himself.

"Shrines are places where lowly humans worship great gods, and they pray in prayer to the gods for protection, even at the cost of their lives......"

"Do you know who sat on this altar hundreds of years ago?"

The big leader of the Lan bone suddenly asked, his whole body lit up with a lava-like color, and his dull voice was like thunder rolling in the dark clouds, and a pair of copper bell eyes burst into flames, like a god who was not angry and self-righteous.

Lanya pondered for a moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and said tentatively, "We?"

"Yes, it's us, we were the gods of mankind!"

The big leader of the Lan bone glanced at Lan Ya in surprise, obviously this little demon dog was a little smarter than he thought.

Lanya's heart shook wildly, shocked to the extreme, but she felt that it should be so.

Hundreds of years ago, human beings worshipped monsters as gods, and the so-called shrine was originally a residence built by humans for monsters, and it can even be said that the shrine was originally built by humans for the demon race!

In this chaotic and primitive world, what could be more qualified to be gods than the monsters who have the power to pull mountains and reclaim seas and destroy the world?

Ranya can even imagine that hundreds of years ago, in that era of ignorance and darkness for mankind, the stormy and dangerous human beings had to build statues of gods, erect temples, and voluntarily become slaves for the fierce and cruel youkai in order to survive.

They worship the monsters as gods, even if the gods are man-eating monsters, and they offer sacrifices for the demons to pray for protection, and this sacrifice is the life of the human beings themselves.

And Lanya, as a human in the past life, the existence of monsters in this life, his feelings at this time are naturally complex and difficult to understand, it stands to reason that he should sympathize with human beings and be indignant at the monsters who eat people, but his current identity is just a well-rooted monster, and his ancestors are the monsters who have been presented as gods by humans.

"Hmph, humans once worshipped us as gods, but betrayed us with their own hands, this cunning and treacherous race should not appear in this world!"

Lan Feng, who had been sitting there lazily without saying a word, suddenly said sharply at this time, and his face as delicate as a teenager suddenly distorted, obviously with a deep hatred for human beings.

Didn't the old Yan dog say that humans were driven to the plains by the canine tribe on their own initiative, because humans are not a race suitable for meat......

But Lan Feng said that it was the human race who betrayed the demon dog clan, it seems that behind this matter is not so simple, maybe there are all kinds of intrigues and conspiracies to betray things.

Lan Ya was thinking in his heart, but he heard Lan Gu who was sitting on the throne continue:

"Lanya, do you know that hundreds of years ago, the lights in this shrine were bright day and night, and ......the dog clan had seven monsters, and there were at least a dozen goblins, how powerful was the dog clan at that time?

"The canine clan needs to rise, and more goblins and even goblins need to appear......"

His gaze fell on Ranya's body again, scorching and penetrating, and his words were full of inspiration.

"Your bloodline surpasses that of ordinary demon dogs, and you are destined to go further on the road to becoming a big monster, and the dog clan has high hopes for you, and I also hope that one day you can sit on my side......"

Lan Ya was flattered, Lan Gu was the real top monster in the Bone Forest, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he was able to put down his status and say such a thing so enthusiastically.

Lan Ya straightened up, his eyes looked directly at the big leader of Lan Gu, and replied without half a dodge:

"Everything you say is what I think!"
