Origin Chapter 282: Human head

After making up his mind, Wu Zhongyuan told everyone what he thought. In fact, everyone was curious about the ancient temple in the Kunlun Mountains and wanted to go to find out. He proposed to go, and everyone would naturally not object.

But wanting to go is one thing, and whether you can find it is another. The Kunlun Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, and the ancient trees in the mountains are towering. The old blind man is the only one who knows the location of the temple, but he is blind and cannot help Looking for a reference, the crowd can only tell him the various scenes below for his memory and reference.

At first, Wu Zhongyuan did the interpreting work. Later, the second child took his place diligently. Everyone set off in the early morning, and the idiot flew for more than an hour. thing.

Wu Zhongyuan is not in a hurry. The old blind man is just not sure where everyone is currently. Once he finds the reference in his memory, even if there is only one place, he can point everyone to the abandoned temple.

The Kunlun Mountains are also inaccessible places in modern times. Because they are inaccessible, they have not been damaged by human beings, at least they have not been seriously damaged. This makes the world feel that Kunlun Mountain is very different from other peaks and mountains.

But now most of the areas are virgin forests, so the difference between Kunlun Mountain and those outside mountains is not very big, and various wild animals and birds living here can also be seen from the outside.

At three o'clock in the morning, that is, around ten o'clock in the morning, Wu Zhongyuan discovered a strange cave. These caves are located on the sunny side of a mountain. They are distributed from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Again, the lower caves are more numerous, but smaller in size. The closer to the top of the mountain, the fewer the number of caves and the larger the area.

Not only Wu Zhongyuan saw these caves, but the second child saw it as well. He said that he knew about the old blind man, and the old blind man nodded slowly, "I used to be here in the past, and if I continue to go north, I will be able to reach the temple in four hours. ."

"Sir, what's going on with these caves?" Wu Zhongyuan asked the blind old man for advice.

"I went down to visit back then," said the old blind man. "There are a lot of claw marks on the rock walls of every cave, which must have been excavated by wild animals. Many years ago, there must have been a herd of beasts living here."

"Are there any living utensils left in the cave?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. The density of the caves indicates that the beasts who dig these caves live in groups. In addition, the higher the cave is, the bigger the cave is, which also shows that these beasts have a distinct rank. With or without living utensils, you can judge the degree of civilization of the beasts who lived here and whether they have a higher IQ.

The old blind man shook his head, "There are no living utensils in the caves I visited."

"Do you know what kind of beast it is?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

The old blind man shook his head again, "I can't tell what kind of beast those claw marks belong to, but the higher the height, the bigger the claw marks on the rock walls of the caves. It can be seen that these caves were all excavated by the beasts who lived in them. , and there is no artificial hand."

Because Wu Zhongyuan didn't give Dasha to slow down, Dasha quickly flew over this mountain full of caves.

"Sir, are there other places similar to this one in the Kunlun Mountains?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

The old blind man nodded, "There are still some ruins of the city, but they have been abandoned for a long time. After thousands of years of wind and rain, only a few ruins of bluestone are left."

Hearing the old blind man's words, Wu Zhongyuan frowned. Kunlun Mountain is different from other places. There are no humans living in the mountains, not even mixed-race humans. The remaining city ruins here can only be built by animals with complete consciousness. If the beasts capable of building cities did not encounter wars, they would not be easily extinct. Fuxi and Nuwa’s Great War of the Six Paths occurred thousands of years ago, and the war in those years was probably the reason why these cities were deserted.

In this way, his previous speculation was verified to a certain extent. Kunlun Mountain was the site of the Beastmaster, and the abandoned temple in the mountain was probably the place where sacrifices were made to the Beastmaster.

At noon, Wu Zhongyuan ordered Dasha to land on a flat area. There is no shelter around here, and it is relatively empty. There is no risk of plotting and sneak attacks. There is a small stream winding through, which can draw water to cool down.

After a short rest, everyone went on the road again. Previously, the old blind man had estimated the approximate time it would take to get to the ruined temple. It was dark and late in the summer. If you hurry up, you should be able to get there before the sun goes down.

In fact, apart from the old blind man, Wu Zhongyuan and others all have night vision. There is no difference between the day and the night, but the night feels dark and gloomy, and the place was originally evil. Son, try not to go there at night.

It is difficult to balance the process and the results. If you care too much about the process, you will lose the results. If you care too much about the result, you will lose the process. Wu Zhongyuan was in a hurry to get to the destination earlier, so he gave Dasha to travel at the fastest speed. As a result, he did not observe the things in the mountains very carefully, and hurried past.

Around five o'clock in the evening, under the guidance of the old blind man, everyone found the temple surrounded by mountains.

The old blind man did not give a detailed account of the specific situation of the temple before. The real thing is far from Wu Zhongyuan's imagination. The first is the orientation. This abandoned temple is built on the mountain, but it is different from other temples. It does not rely on the peaks in the north, but the west mountain, and the gate faces east.

Then is the size. In Wu Zhongyuan's imagination, this temple is not very large, at least not very large, but in fact this temple is very large, occupying an area of ​​more than 8,000 square meters, even if it is not 10,000 square meters.

There is still a large flat area around the temple. The so-called flat is only relatively flat. At this time, it is summer, and the vegetation has grown tall. It seems that there are some high-rise buildings similar to the city wall hidden in the vigorous vegetation. Stone pile.

According to the surrounding terrain, there should have been a large city here, but this city no longer exists at this time, and even the ruins are almost impossible to find, only the lonely one at the foot of the West Mountain is left. temple.

The reason why the temple can survive the wind and rain for thousands of years is because the stones used in the construction of the temple are very huge. According to the size and density of the stones, the weight of each stone is calculated. Should be more than five tons.

The shape of the temple is somewhat similar to the palaces in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. In front of the main building, there is a stone step with the same length as the palace and a width of about 20 feet. The stone steps are relatively intact and there are no tall trees growing on them. , only a small amount of grass grows in the gaps between the stones.

A five-foot-tall hemp plant grows around the temple. It is very similar to the jute planted by various tribes to weave linen. It must be the God of War grass that the old blind man said.

What the old blind man said is true. There are a lot of bones around the temple, and the God of War grass grows on the bones. Because it is far away and covered by vegetation, it cannot be seen clearly, but after a rough look, it seems that it is not a human corpse.

The crowd came from the south. At this time, they were located on the top of the mountain to the south of the temple. Since they were facing the temple from the side, they could not see the soul-setting stone inlaid on the lintel mentioned by the old blind man.

"You wait for me from here, I'll go down and have a look." Wu Zhongyuan said to Jiang Nan and others.

"If you don't know the details, don't act rashly," said the old blind man.

Wu Zhongyuan stretched out his hand and pointed to the north, "Those bones are concentrated within a hundred paces of the temple, with a clear demarcation. I don't go close, but just look beyond the bones."

"I'll go with you." Jiang Nan said.

"Big brother, I'll go with you too." The second child took the opportunity to show his loyalty.

Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head to look at the second child, "You stay Mr. Protector."

After saying that, I suddenly found that the old secondhand had caught a few sticks of Ganoderma lucidum, and took one at random. It seemed familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it.

"Where did it come from?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

The second child stretched out his hand and pointed, "Here, there's a large area there."

Wu Zhongyuan casually returned the ganoderma lucidum to his second son, and after exchanging glances with Jiang Nan, he cast his birth method and swept north.

There is always room for everything. Although the boundary of the bones is very obvious, Wu Zhongyuan did not stick to the boundary formed by the accumulation of bones, but went back several feet to ensure that he would not cross the thunder pool.

After landing, the first thing I saw were the two soul-fixing stones inlaid on the lintel of the temple. As the old blind man said, the two soul-fixing stones were about the size of eggs, one black and one white. Engraved on the door is a huge beast head, and the location where the soul stone is inlaid happens to be the eye part of the beast head.

The beast head carved on the door does not belong to any known beast, but a hideous image similar to gluttonous.

The gate of the temple only opens on the left side, and the opening is not very wide. From the place where the two stand, you can see that there is a purple statue in the west of the temple, about zhang high and nearly five feet wide. , The head of the statue is gone, but the body is still there. If you look closely, the body of the statue is draped. To be precise, it is carved with peculiar armor, similar to the armor of the warriors of the bird tribe, but the protective parts are not very strict.

Although wearing armor and losing its head, the gender of the statue can still be determined based on its body, because the two breastplates on the statue are raised, which means that this amethyst statue is a female figure .

Just as Wu Zhongyuan was looking at the statue, Jiang Nan walked a few feet to the south, "There is more than one statue in the hall, and there are also on both sides."

Listening to Jiang Nan's words, Wu Zhongyuan walked to where Jiang Nan was standing and tilted his head to look at the north side of the temple. As Jiang Nan said, there were also statues there. The statues were white. Because of the distance, the light was dim. , you can't see the specific image of those statues.

Because of the limited viewing angle, he could not see the situation on the south side, but could only see a total of six statues standing on the north side.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's squinting, Jiang Nan knew that he couldn't see what was inside, so he pulled out an arrow, took out a bamboo tube from his waist, applied the yellow liquid inside to the arrow, and then took flint Knock it ignites, then shoot it with a bow.

The rocket flew into the temple and landed near the statues. With the light of the fire, Wu Zhongyuan could see the true colors of the six statues. These six statues were all human and animal heads, with different styles of armor carved on their bodies. From west to east, they are elephant head, rhino head, tiger head, leopard head, wolf head and dog head.

These six statues are all engraved with armor worn by men, holding various weapons, majestic and brave.

When he moved his gaze to the last statue, Wu Zhongyuan frowned suddenly. The dog's head on the statue was not an ordinary dog's head, but the giant hyena that attacked the two of them not long ago.

At this moment, Jiang Nan suddenly raised his hand and pointed, "There are living things in it!"

Wu Zhongyuan was turning his head to look at Jiang Nan. Hearing this, he hurriedly turned his eyes back to the temple. At this time, the rocket that had been fired just went out, and the temple returned to darkness.

"What is it?" Wu Zhongyuan squinted and looked into the distance, he could only vaguely see a small black shadow.

"Looks like a little fox..."
