Chapter 275: Goddess Altar
This is an ancient building, the shape of a five-pointed star, the top of the building is round, and there are several stone pillars that reach to the sky, like a sacrificial temple built by the ancestors to connect heaven and earth. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe entire temple covers an area of several hectares, more than 10,000 feet high, and I don't know how long it has been precipitated, and some places on the stone wall have peeled off, but it still looks very majestic and magnificent.
Lin Ran couldn't suppress the surprise in his heart, and walked towards the temple step by step. Outside the temple is an open gate consisting of two ancient round stone pillars, and below it is a bluestone slab staircase, which has been covered with moss over the years, and there are some broken earth and small stones scattered next to it......
Lin Ran stepped on the dilapidated bluestone slab and walked step by step to the gate of this ancient temple, wanting to go in and find out. At the moment when he stepped into the temple, a breeze blew from the temple, carrying a quaint smell of wind and dust, which made him feel in a trance......
Lin Ran was about to enter the temple, at this moment, he heard a burst of urgent footsteps behind him, he suddenly felt a pang of heart, looked back, but saw a woman hurrying from outside the ruins, the woman's posture was graceful, her face was like a peach and plum, and she was extremely beautiful, it was the crown princess Li Lingyue.
Li Lingyue never showed her cultivation in front of Lin Ran, but at this moment, Lin Ran could see that her body was extremely fast, and even faintly above herself, but between her actions, there was no trace of true qi fluctuations, but there was a strange demonic power, which couldn't help but make Lin Ran more vigilant.
Li Lingyue came to Lin Ran, looked at the ancient temple in front of her, and couldn't help but exclaim: "What kind of place is this, it's so spectacular......"
Lin Ranhu said suspiciously: "You haven't been here?"
Li Lingyue said: "No, it's my first time here, I only knew that there was a dungeon here, but Tang Mo didn't allow others to enter or leave......
"Go in and take a look!" Lin Ran was still skeptical of her words, but he didn't bother to care, he just wanted to enter this ancient temple and have a look......
The space in the temple is very spacious, there is not too much furnishings, all are stone pillars that reach to the sky, only there is a large altar in the center, and there are hundreds of statues under the altar, these statues are graceful and graceful, with long hair and shawls, and at first glance they are women, who are kneeling on one knee and worshipping on the altar, as if they are performing some kind of ritual......
There is also a stone sculpture on the altar, but this stone sculpture is different from other stone carvings, and the rest of the stone sculptures are laughed by ordinary people, but this stone sculpture in the center of the altar is a hundred zhang high, and there is a world of difference in terms of carving and material selection.
The appearance of this stone sculpture looks like it is made of bluestone, but after a closer look, it is clear that the material of this stone sculpture is extremely rare jade, and the surface texture is extremely delicate.
Due to the stability of jade, it is usually used to forge magic weapons above the level of spiritual products, and a small piece of jade can be sold for a lot of money, but this hundred-zhang stone carving in front of you is moist all over, and the whole body is carved from jade......
Due to the special material, despite the erosion of endless years of wind and frost, this statue still preserves a relatively complete original appearance. This is a woman, the woman is dressed in plain clothes and fluttering in the wind, her face is beautiful, her eyebrows are cold, but there is a trace of compassion in her eyes, three thousand green silk is coiled into a virtuous bun on the top of her head, pouring down to her waist like a waterfall and flowing clouds, transcendent and unearthly, holy and flawless, making people yearn for it at first sight......
Lin Ran stared at the statue of a woman, his chest rose and fell violently, and his whole person began to tremble......
Li Lingyue saw that his expression was wrong, and immediately quipped: "Are you okay?
Lin Ran ignored her, but with a thought, he took out a portrait from the Epiphany. This portrait was given by Master Shuiyue at the "Penglai Inn" that day, and the painting is also a beautiful woman, who is Chu Chenxue.
Li Lingyue looked at the scroll in his hand, couldn't help but be a little curious, and immediately leaned up to take a look.
"Who is the woman in this painting?" Li Lingyue stared at Chu Chenxue in the painting, looking curious, as far as she knew, Lin Ran had always been invasive, and women were not close, so it was strange that she would hide a woman's portrait privately......
Lin Ran didn't answer, but looked up at the statue of the goddess in front of him, constantly comparing it with Chu Chenxue, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became!
Li Lingyue looked up at the statue of the goddess, then at the woman in the painting, and suddenly saw Lin Ran's thoughts, and said, "Do you think that the person in the painting is the owner of this statue?"
Lin Ran frowned and said, "Isn't it ......?"
After all, Li Lingyue is a talented woman who is famous all over the world, and she has a deep attainment in painting and carving, she looked at the woman in the painting and continued: "Of course not, although the appearance of these two people is extremely similar, they are slightly different. Although the demeanor of this statue is cold, it gives people a feeling of bright moonlight, and there is a sense of brightness and purity in the coldness, which has an indescribable meaning. The woman in the painting has a cold look, outstanding appearance, and a proud posture, these two people should not be the same person......"
Lin Ran didn't have any research on the art of carving, and when he heard Li Lingyue say it, he compared Chu Chenxue in the painting with the statue of the goddess in front of him again, nodded and said: "What you said also makes some sense, but this is inevitably too similar, is there really two people in the world who look so similar?"
Li Lingyue was curious: "Who is the woman in the painting?"
Lin Ran was sad for a while, and slowly spit out three words: 'Chu Chenxue......
Li Lingyue said with a look of surprise: "Chu Chenxue, that senior sister of the cultivation realm? it turned out to be her ......"
Lin Ran said, "What?"
Li Lingyue hurriedly said: "No...... It's nothing, the news about you and her is so loud that I should have thought it was her...... However, the woman of this temple can't be her!"
Lin Ran said, 'How do you know?'
Li Lingyue said angrily: "Why is it that when you mention Chu Chenxue, your head becomes a paste?You don't want to think about it, this temple may have a history of thousands of years, and at that time, Chu Chenxue was not born yet......"
Lin Ran took a deep look at the statue, his heart was mixed, there was an indescribable taste, and finally shook his head, sighed and said, "Maybe it's just a coincidence!"
He put away the scroll, walked under the statue of the goddess, reached out and stroked the smooth jade, and began to walk around the statue, sorting out his thoughts as he went. Just as he turned to the back of the statue, there was a sudden bumpy touch between his fingers......
