[Chapter 282 Human and Beast 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 it is one thing to want to go, and another to find it. Kunlun Mountain stretches 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 already blind and cannot find a reference by himself. , can only be told to him by the crowd about the various scenes below, for his memory and reference.

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

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.

Kunlun Mountain is also an inaccessible place in modern times. , Because it is inaccessible, it has not been damaged by man, at least not seriously damaged by man, which makes Kunlun Mountain different from those outside mountains that have been damaged by man, which makes the world feel that Kunlun Mountain is different from other peaks. It is very different from the mountains.

But now most of the areas are virgin forests, so Kunlun Mountain is not very different from the peaks outside, and all kinds of beasts and birds living here can also be seen from outside.

At three o’clock in the morning, that is, 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. There are a lot of them. There are many caves in the area, but the area is small.

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 too. He said that he knew about the old blind man, and the old blind man nodded slowly, “I have been here before, 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 old blind man for advice.

“I went down to visit back then,” said the old blind man. “There are a lot of claw marks on the stone 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 shows that the beasts who dig these caves live in groups. In addition, the higher the cave, the bigger the cave, 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 beasts are?” Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

The old blind man shook his head again, “I can’t determine what kind of beast those paw prints belong to, but the higher the height, the bigger the paw prints on the cave walls. It can be seen that these caves were all excavated by the beasts who lived in them. A fake hand.”

Since 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. There are only a few ruins of bluestone piled up in the wind and rain for thousands of years.”

Hearing the old blind man’s words, Wu Zhongyuan frowned. Kunlun Mountain is different from Elsewhere, there are no human beings living in the mountains, not even mixed-race humans. The remaining city ruins here can only be built by beasts with complete

consciousness. If the beasts with the ability to build cities are not encountering war, it is not easy to go extinct. The Great and Desolate War of Fuxi Nuwa’s Pure Six Paths occurred thousands of years ago, and the war that year 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 Beast King, and the abandoned temple in the mountain was probably the place where sacrifices were made to the Beast King.

At noon, Wu Zhongyuan ordered Dasha to land on a flat area. There is no shelter around here, it is relatively empty, and there is no risk of being attacked by plots and sneak attacks. There is also 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 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, except for the old blind man, Wu Zhongyuan and others all have night vision ability. There is no difference between the day and the night, but the night feels dark and gloomy. Still don’t go at night.

It is difficult to balance the process and the result. If you care too much about the process, you will lose the result.

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.

At around five in the evening, under the guidance of the old blind man, everyone found the temple surrounded by mountains.

The old blind man did not talk about the specific situation of this temple in detail before. The difference between the real object and Wu Zhongyuan’s imagination is very large. The first is the orientation. This abandoned temple is built on the mountain, but it is different from other temples. It relies on the same Not the peak to the north, but the mountain to the west, with the gate facing east.

Then there is the size. In Wu Zhongyuan’s imagination, this temple is not big, at least not very large, but in fact this temple is very large, even if it occupies less than 10,000 square meters, it is more than 8,000 square meters.

There is also 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 stone piles that are similar to the city wall.

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

The reason why the temple can withstand the wind and rain for thousands of years without falling down is because the stones used in the construction of the temple are very huge. According to the size and density of the stones to calculate their weight, each stone should be within five tons or more.

The shape of the temple is somewhat similar to the palace 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 two feet. The stone steps are relatively intact, and there are no tall trees on them. A small amount of grass grows in the gaps between the stones.

Around the temple grows a hemp plant that is more than five feet high, 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 was true, there were a lot of white bones piled up around the temple, and the God of War grass grew on the white 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-fixing stone that the old blind man said was inlaid on the lintel.

“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 won’t go close, but just look beyond the bones.”

“I’ll accompany you,” Jiang Nan said.

“Brother, I’ll go with you too.” The second child took the opportunity to express his loyalty.

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

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

“Where did you come from?” Wu Zhongyuan asked.

The second child stretched out his hand and pointed, “Here, there is a large area there.”

Wu Zhongyuan returned the Ganoderma lucidum grass to the second child.

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.

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

The animal head carved on the door does not belong to any known beast, but a ferocious image similar to Taotie.

The gate of the temple is only opened on the left side, and the opening is not very wide. From 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 is gone, but the body is still there. If you look closely, the statue is draped with, to be precise, a peculiar armor carved, similar to the armor of the bird warriors, but the protective parts are not very strict.

Although wearing armor and losing its head, it is still possible to determine its gender based on the statue’s body, because the two breastplates on the statue are raised, which indicates that this amethyst statue is a female figure.

Just when 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, there are also on both sides.”

Hearing Jiang Nan’s words, Wu Zhongyuan walked over to Jiang Nan .

Nan stood, tilted his head and looked at the north side of the temple. As Jiang Nan said, there were also statues there. The statues were white. Because the distance was too far and the light was dim, the specific images of those statues could not be seen clearly.

Due to the limited angle of observation, he could not see the situation on the south side, and could only see a total of six statues standing on the north side.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan squinting all the time, 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 hit it with flint to set it on fire. , and then shoot the 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 carved 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 creatures in it!”

Wu Zhongyuan was turning his head to look at Jiang Nan. Hearing the words, he hurriedly turned his eyes back to the temple. Back 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…”
