Mystery Leaks

Chapter 248
The fog was obviously affected by the temple, which caused the area to become thinner. Although it was still a little foggy, it was enough to see the entire temple and pool clearly.

"Come in!" The hoarse voice sounded again, as if urging.

I walked up the stone steps, step by step, and came to the gate of the temple.

There is still no one inside, and at the top of the temple, a black and yellow stone statue sits on the head, with a majestic face, wearing a tasseled jade crown, wearing a mian suit, a wide robe with large sleeves, a green ribbon around the waist, and high-headed wooden clogs .

The stone carvings are exquisite and lifelike, and you can clearly see the rusty dragon and phoenix patterns on the crown, as well as weapons, axes, chariots and horses, etc.; obviously wearing a robe, but it makes people feel like armor.

This is King Dayue Wu.

Below the statue is an altar, which is clean, with three long-burning lamps arranged in a line, an incense burner, and a futon. Other than that, there are some murals on the walls and beams, which are so ancient that they are completely incomprehensible.

In short, the entire temple can be seen at a glance, no one is there.

I took a deep breath, walked in slowly, and looked around, the incense was burning constantly, and the ever-burning lights seemed to never go out; the existence in the temple obviously served here for a long, long time.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is who you are?" the hoarse voice said.

I was silent for a while, and said, "I am the descendant of the tomb guard."

The hoarse existence was also silent for a while, as if hesitating, "There are three guardians of the tomb, why are you the only one who came twice, have the other two veins been cut off?"

"No, the three-line mausoleum guardian family is still alive." I said.

I don't know what such a conversation means. If it is another stranger or strange existence on the other side, I will never reveal my identity.But by coincidence, at this moment, I don't even have the subconscious mind that I want to cover up, and I talk to it in every detail.

"Then what about the artifacts that you each have, are they still there?" it asked, and finally there was a slight wave in its voice.

Artifact?

My thoughts turned sharply, the Nine Star Wheel might be considered an artifact, it is simply too extraordinary.

But judging from its meaning, it seems that the three families of Meng, Feng and Cao have mastered divine weapons, but...it's unheard of.

"Are you referring to the Nine Star Wheel?" I tentatively asked, I'm afraid it has existed for so long that I couldn't believe it.

Listening to the conversation, it is obviously waiting here, waiting for the mausoleum guards to come here to do something.

As for what it is, I don't know. Grandpa never told me any information. Not only me, Cao Nan and Feng Daniu must also know nothing.The time is too long, even if it is counted from the pre-Qin era, it is more than 100 generations.

All secrets will be annihilated, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

This reminds me of the prophecy that was circulated in the legal industry. The age of the end of the Dharma has entered the late stage, the age of mythology will come to the world again, the pattern of the world will change greatly, and the rules will be rewritten.

"Nine Star Wheel, Biluo Bell, and Fengtian Seal, all three are indispensable." Said a hoarse voice.

Thousands of alpacas ran past in my heart, and I had never heard of Biluozhong and Fengtianyin. Even the Nine Star Wheel is just a defective product now.

Inside, there is an absolute and big secret, three artifacts are needed!
It is definitely not for viewing, but for what to do!
After thinking for a while, I hurriedly said: "The family of the tomb guards has been passed down to our generation. I don't know how many generations have passed. The purpose and truth of many things have been annihilated. Can you tell me, what are these three artifacts? What are you here for?"

"You don't know at all?" The hoarse voice was full of doubts.

"I only know that there is a secret that has been hidden for many years on Jinpen Mountain, and it is closely related to the family of the tomb guards. I basically don't know about the others. But I can feel that somewhere, there is a secret A force is pushing us forward to unseal this secret." I confessed truthfully.

If you don't explain, this topic can't continue, and the information you have and the existence in the temple are seriously asymmetric.

"I don't know either." The hoarse voice said.

"What?!" I was taken aback, and said, "How come?"

"I'm just standing here waiting for the arrival of the mausoleum guard. I don't know much about the rest."

"Then who are you? Where are you from? Why are you staying here?" I was anxious and asked three questions.

"I..." It hesitated for a moment, and said, "I am this temple."

"Huh?" I opened my mouth wide, and my mind was a little confused.

It is this temple, how can this be explained?

Could it be that the temple has become a master?

"You can call me Temple Spirit, my mission is to wait for the arrival of the mausoleum guardian." It said again.

I'm speechless, it's really amazing.

I've heard of foxes becoming spirits, and I've heard of flowers, birds, fish and insects becoming spirits, but I've never heard of buildings becoming spirits. It's fresh!

"Okay, Miao Ling, then I may know, how long have you been waiting here?" I tried to ask.

"Spring, summer, autumn and winter are one reincarnation. Up to now, there have been 590 six reincarnations." Miao Ling said.

I was so speechless that I didn't know what to say for a while.

The Chinese civilization is advertised as 5000 years, but in fact there are only 3000 years in written records.

The Xia Dynasty is generally considered to be a multi-tribal alliance or a complex chiefdom form. It is only the embryonic form of a dynasty, and it is far from forming a dynasty. The level of civilization is very low.It is not even as developed as the civilization of Sanxingdui, which is far away in Sichuan and Sichuan.

More than 500 years ago, it can be traced back to the era of the Three Emperors, the end of the age of mythology!Early Dharma-ending Era!
Fuxi, Nuwa, and Shennong are the ancestors of that period.

This temple actually originated from the end of the mythical era, which is more than 300 years behind the pre-Qin era.

What is this concept?
It is equivalent to the distance between modern times and the Sui Dynasty, and there are five full dynasties in the middle: Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing.

This creates an apparent paradox.

How can a temple built more than 500 years ago enshrine a Nanyue Wu King who was built more than 300 years ago?
This is as absurd as the temple built during the Sui Dynasty is dedicated to the current president, prime minister, or king of a certain country.Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, is a small country in a corner of the country, and the country has only been around for more than a hundred years. How can he be enshrined in an ancient temple at the end of the mythological era.

There is something going on here, either the temple spirit is deranged due to loneliness due to too much time, or the Nanyue King Zhao Tuojiu is occupying the magpie's nest.

So I said: "Why is there a statue of Zhao Tuo enshrined here? The time is obviously not right!"

"It's just a deception." Miao Ling chuckled.

After the words fell, the temple door made a heavy friction sound and slowly closed. Then, Zhao Tuo above the temple began to collapse like a sand sculpture, slowly revealing a statue that was only the size of an ordinary person inside.

This is a white jade carving, it is a woman with a human head and a snake body, wearing animal skins, holding a multicolored rough stone, with a milky white halo all over her body, she looks holy and beautiful.

This is the statue of Nuwa!
Different from the current statue of Nuwa, this Nuwa's face is relatively three-dimensional, not as round as modern people, and she is wearing either colorful fairy clothes or animal skin, which is very primitive and only covers the two most private parts of her body , The navel and waist can be seen at a glance.

"Nuwa Empress!" I blurted out.

"This is Nuwa, the last god in the world!" Miao Ling said.

I nodded, this image is indeed in line with the era of the hairy and blood-drinking, not that Nuwa can't afford to wear better animal skins, but that each era has a culture of an era.

It was impossible for her to wear silk and satin, nor could she be decorated with jewels, because there were none at that time, at most there was a string of shells around her neck.

"Why do you want to cover it up as Zhao Tuo's portrait?" I asked.

"In order to keep the secrets here, in case they are discovered, as you said, there is a big secret here, which should be set by the gods." Temple Ling replied.

I nodded slowly, and said, "Nuwa created man, Nuwa refined stones to mend the sky, are these all myths?"

"Nuwa's creation of man is of course a fabricated myth. Man is the primate of all things and lives the same life as heaven and earth. According to legend, it was created by ancient gods, and Nuwa is also one of them."

"Then what about Nuwa refining stones to mend the sky?" I asked again.

Creating man is fake, but refining stones to mend the sky is not. Even Huang Mao and Hu Lai think so. Nuwa mending the sky must be a myth, but there must be a prototype.

There must have been some catastrophe, and Nuwa led the heroes among the people to quell the disaster, so the legend of mending the sky was passed down.

What is meant by mending the sky is a leak in the sky, a catastrophe.

"At the end of the Mythical Age, the vitality of the heavens and the earth was gradually exhausted, the heroes among the people fell silent, and the power to protect the world became weaker and weaker. From time to time, evil spirits from other worlds invaded, causing disasters everywhere, and the people were in dire straits. Seeing the suffering in the world, God Nuwa led the heroes to fight back. The evil spirits, and then repaired the caves in Wutai Mountain by refining the god stone, blocking the passage for the evil spirits to jump into the human world." Miaoling said slowly.

"What? Nuwa's refining stones to mend the sky, is it like this?" I was shocked in my heart. I had long felt that there must be a prototype for this matter, but I didn't expect it to be.

Miao Ling said it in a rather cryptic way, but the explanation is that in the era when Nuwa was a god, there were evil spirits from other worlds entering the human world through some kind of channel, causing harm to all directions and causing chaos in the world.

Nuwa, as a god, led the heroes to repel the invading evil spirits, but... the evil spirits must be very powerful. Nuwa and the heroes she led must have suffered heavy losses, and they were powerless to resist the second time. Therefore, Nuwa used The five-color soil has been refined into a sacred stone, blocking the passage of evil spirits to invade.

There is very little information here, but it is amazing enough!
Even thinking about it carefully can make people sweat all over.

And the myths and legends we have spread are that Gonggong, the god of water, and Zhurong, the god of fire, were at odds with each other. They fought, and Zhurong was defeated. He touched the pillar between the sky and the earth with his head. , the people were displaced, and the people were in dire straits.

Seeing this, Nuwa refined stones to mend the sky, blocked the sky cave, and cut off the four feet of the tortoise to replace Buzhou Mountain, supporting the sky, and the disaster gradually disappeared.

In fact, if you compare these two versions, you will find that although the content is different, the skeleton is the same.

There was a catastrophe, and Nuwa tried to stop it.

The temple spirit is very simple to say, but it is completely conceivable that the battle at that time must have been very tragic, because after Nuwa, the period of the Three Emperors ended.

Then came the period of the Five Emperors, and the so-called "civilization era" began.

As for Nuwa's ending, she ascended to the sky, which must be nonsense, after Nuwa fought and refined stone, she must have fallen.

It is entirely conceivable that disappearing with her, there are still a large number of heroes among the people, and to put it bluntly, they are powerful practitioners of that era.

After they disappeared, the world has entered the Age of Doom, and the Age of Myths has come to an end!
Up to now, cultivation has become a legendary existence, something to be sneered at. In today's society, what is talked about is "science".

No one believes in gods and ghosts.

In the dusty world, not everything is deceitful, but too many things have gradually been lost in the long river of history.

People nowadays have long lost their respect for the heaven and the earth, and for many people, survival is within easy reach.In fact, in the dusty depths of history, there was a great battle that determined the fate of the world.

There may be errors in time, but there must be.Maybe more than 3000 years ago, maybe 1, or even [-] years ago.

This reminds me of that ancient monk, he was nailed to the carriage by a spear, perhaps, he is a person from that era.

That spear looked very ominous, as if it had been used by an evil spirit.
