Chapter 15: The Soul Returns to Loulan
"Holy Spirit!
The last shout is strangely rapped, but it is full of solemnity and sacredness, full of yearning and longing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
But no matter how Ye Xuan asked, Yao Lao closed his lips tightly and refused to speak anymore, keeping it secretive.
Rumble!
The stone gate was heavy, and Zhao Wuming led the true yuan flow on the body of the knights, overflowing with a violent aura, and he actually forcibly pushed it away.
The sun shone in, and the ancient temple exuded a rotten and dilapidated atmosphere, and dust overflowed.
But Lou Xi and the others couldn't wait and rushed in.
Surprisingly, although the temple was magnificent, the interior was empty and pitch black.
"Look!" Zhao Wuming exclaimed, "There are also human faces here!"
In the shadows around the main hall, there are also seven one-person-high stone statues, with human faces and animal bodies, which are extremely strange, just like characters who have come out of mythology.
They hurried over and found that these stone statues were in different postures, with a lion body and three tails, a one-horned giant bull, and three six-armed giant apes...... But they all have a pair of human faces, which are exactly the same as the seven golden human faces that are as majestic as giant mountains, but they are much smaller.
These people stood high on the altar and enjoyed the sacrifice.
At their feet lay many porcelain vases and clay pots, and the objects in them that had been completely decayed and turned into mud.
And apart from these halls, there was almost nothing left, empty.
There was dust under their feet, and everyone could not hide their disappointment.
"There are only these stone statues, and nothing else!" Du Hao glanced around, very regretful.
"Everyone scattered around to look around, don't miss a single thing!" Lou Xi's eyes turned cold.
They scattered around and began to search.
But after walking around, they still didn't notice anything, and their faces became very ugly. There was nothing but these shrunken human faces.
"There is no temple here, where to find the clues of the Loulan Holy City! Is the words on the stone gate just a coincidence? Or has it gone through the ages, and all things and traces have completely turned into dust!" said Yao Lao in a hoarse voice, his figure was shaky, unable to bear the blow.
"Loulan Holy City is too ethereal after all, maybe we can't find it at all!" Du Hao's voice was heavy.
"No, we must find it! The spirit of our ancestors will guide us!" Lou Xi said in a deep voice, his words full of unwillingness.
She came to the idol and knelt down in worship, clasped her hands together, and prayed silently.
"Spirits of our ancestors, please bless us! Souls return to their homeland, return to the Holy City......" Her face was solemn and reverent.
As if infected by her, the others also knelt down and prayed silently.
Only Ye Xuan stood alone, looking at the stone statues around him, thoughtful.
Those people are still worshipping, they are not only worshipping this statue, but also worshipping their ancestors, and they are faintly chanting "The soul returns to Loulan"!
From the words in their mouths, Ye Xuan faintly guessed their origins.
They are all descendants of the Loulan ancients, but for some unknown reason, they went deep into the desert, as if to find something in the ancestral land buried in the desert.
But it's a pity that after thousands of years, even if there were gods who had fallen, no matter how they kowtowed, they couldn't get any response.
"Miss, get up!" Zhao Wuming sighed, "The Sea of Death has buried everything, and the Holy City is difficult to find!"
Lou Xi and the others stood up, extremely lost, as if they had lost their souls.
"Is it a luxury to return to Loulan after all?" Yao Lao sighed lightly.
"It's too early to draw conclusions so quickly!" Ye Xuan said in a deep voice.
"Hmm, Ye Xuan, what did you find?" Lou Xi was overjoyed. Along the way, Ye Xuan has given them too many surprises, not only his unique feng shui techniques, but his insight is also far beyond ordinary people, and he can always find the key that others have overlooked.
Ye Xuan chuckled, "This temple is so majestic, why do you worship these seven human faces alone? Maybe everything can be found from them!"
"These faces look like gods sacrificed by the ancients, how can they be easily disturbed?" Zhao Wuming said in a deep voice.
Ye Xuan shook his head and smiled without saying a word.
Living in the new China of the 21st century, he does not have so many taboos. Besides, as a captain who touches gold, he has never seen anything weird.
After 10,000 years of baptism, these faces have been dusty for a long time, but they are just stone statues, although they once represented some kind of divine incarnation, but now everything is meaningless.
Man is alive, so why should he be bound by some dead things?
Only by having a heart without taboos and breaking the routine can you see a different scenery.
He jumped up to the central platform with one lunge and began to look for it.
Seeing this, Lou Xi clasped his hands together and prayed silently, "Everything is for the soul to return to Loulan!"
Then her eyes were resolute, "Search!"
After the armored knights received the order, they moved quickly and searched quickly, and even the porcelain vase and clay pot at the foot of the idol were turned out.
Getting rid of the scruples in their hearts, they really found that although the porcelain vase and clay pot were full of rotten sand, when they got out of the sand, they found that they were full of golden beans, shining and dazzling, illuminating the dark temple!
If you look closely, this golden bean is actually carved with dense lines, like some unknown rune.
And these golden beans are actually under the feet of each of them, thousands of them, and it is difficult to count.
"Could this be a sacred object that the ancestors of ancient humans sacrificed to the gods!" everyone took out the golden beans one after another, and even more observed, thinking about it.
At this time, Ye Xuan set his eyes on the hand of the face in the front.
This statue is very special, it is the only stone statue with a human head, wearing golden armor, exactly like the hundred-foot-high golden statue under their feet.
But the difference is that the human-faced colossus at his feet is holding a long sword with both hands, while this idol is holding a sword in one hand, and the other is on his chest, pointing to the sky with one hand!
After the erosion of the ages, this statue has been mottled, only the long sword in his hand is black, without the slightest rust, and the sword is sharp, bursting with cold light.
Ye Xuan's heart moved, could it be that this long sword is also a treasure?
He grasped the hilt of the sword, lifted it lightly, and took it out of the hand of the human face without much effort, and after a few strokes, the sharp blade actually made a whistling sound that broke through the air, whining.
Bite!
Suddenly, the blade shook, and a crisp sound came from overhead, filling the air.
At first, it was just a soft sound of the blade, and in the end, it trembled like a golden bell, solemn, vast, and ethereal......
Puff puff!
The temple shook the ground, the dust rose everywhere, turned into a tornado and dissipated, and everything returned to its original appearance, clean and flawless.
An earth-shattering cry faintly sounded between heaven and earth, engulfing his soul into it.
"Yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and if you don't break Loulan, you won't pay it back!"
