Divine Reverence

Chapter 28 The Holy Ancient Pattern Star Falls

Ye Wenji followed the direction pointed by the old man and set off towards Shenggu Loulan.

Looking around at this time, there is no longer a small river, only a piece of yellow sand between the sky and the earth.As far as the eye can see.The yellow sand all over the sky undulates like a whole piece of yellow brocade, with different shapes.The momentum is majestic and majestic, the sky and the earth are long and the sky is endless.

There are yellow sand mountains rising and falling one after another, covering the sky.

Here, you can no longer find any other different colors, there is only this long yellow sand between the heaven and the earth, which dominates everything.

Ye Wenji frowned. If he walked like this, when would he reach the ancient city? If it wasn't for the discovery of the female corpse just now, he wouldn't have wanted to see this glorious ancient place in the past.

The white lotus manifested at the feet.

Ye Wenji stepped on the lotus, and soon he found the ruins of an ancient city in the deserted Gobi.

More than one wall around the ancient city of Loulan has collapsed, leaving only intermittent walls standing alone.The urban area is square, with an area of ​​about 1 square meters.The panoramic view of the Loulan site is ancient and dignified, and the dilapidated architectural relics in the city are lifeless, which is particularly desolate and tragic.

The ancient city is dilapidated and dilapidated.It is made of tamarisk and reeds, and the roof and walls do not exist today, but the layout at that time can be seen from the remaining walls.

The ancient city is surrounded by dense wind-eroded landforms. The ancient city covers an area of ​​about [-] square meters. There are government offices, residential buildings, Buddhist temples, pagodas and temples in the city; Tombs, pagodas and beacon towers.

Ye Wenji slowly entered the ancient city.

Overlooking the ancient city of Loulan, there is a beacon tower in the northeast corner of the city. Obviously, it has been repaired in different periods in the past. In the center of the ancient city, there are three buildings that have been collapsed until only adobe walls are left. Relatively, this is the famous "three rooms".This house of more than 100 square meters is built on a high platform. There are two partition walls built with soil blocks inside. The middle is larger, and the east and west are smaller.Continuing to the west, there is a large house.In the courtyard, there are three horizontally arranged houses in the north and south respectively.In the ancient city, the building of this courtyard is also quite pompous.In contrast, most of the houses on the south side of the mansion are small, scattered and dilapidated.

The Loulan Pagoda here is the tallest building in the city.

Under the setting sun, the ancient buildings reflect a faint yellow light.The pagodas piled up with mud look a bit dilapidated after thousands of years of weathering, but they are so outstanding in the "Yadan" group. Kind of sacred.

The pagoda is 10.42 meters high, the tower base is nearly 20 meters long from north to south, and 18.6 meters wide from east to west.The Loulan Tower is divided into nine floors, the first to third floors are built of rammed earth, the third floor contains broken pottery fragments, the fourth floor contains adobe blocks in the rammed earth, and the upper five floors are all built with earth blocks.Between each layer of adobe blocks, there are thin red willow branches.From the fifth floor there is a wooden square tower about one meter long.The wooden squares are drilled with holes, which are used to connect other wooden squares in the pagoda, and the purpose is to strengthen the pagoda.Close to the east side of the tower body is an earthen platform built with soil blocks, and there is a ramp between the earthen platform and the tower body for walking up and down.Wood with a diameter of 30 cm and some rectangular wood are pressed horizontally in the middle of the platform.On the platform to the south of the pagoda, there are many collapsed large wooden frames of scattered buildings, on which there are grass-covered mud tops and walls made of red willow branches and reeds.

Ye Wenji was about to approach the pagoda.

A golden light shot out ten thousand feet, blocking Ye Wenji from entering the pagoda.

Ye Wenji's seat was empty.Thousands of lights hang down from the white lotus above his head to protect him, and the purple lotus transforms into a world of ninth-rank purple lotus and lower-rank.The light of the pagoda is no longer dazzling.But Ye Wenji still couldn't enter it.

Buddha Light seems to have some kind of prohibitive power to restrict foreign intrusion.

Ye Wenji activated Bao's handprint, trying to open the seal of the pagoda again.The golden light of the stupa shone.

Suddenly a purple petal of the purple lotus shattered, and a golden light flashed out.

It was the scepter in the hand of the female corpse obtained from the father and son just now.

The scepter and the golden light of the pagoda are connected together, and the layers of golden light are like a golden ocean, with circles of golden waves shining, illuminating the entire sky.

The golden light disappeared for a moment.The scepter returned to its original form.

Ye Wenji held the scepter and watched it carefully.

He found that the eyes of the divine beast coiled on the body of the scepter had changed from a deep sleep just now to half-open.

Putting away the scepter, Ye Wenji entered the pagoda.

There are many murals painted under the wall of the pagoda, many men and women are farming and hunting prey, and then some men and women in armor are fighting some fierce beasts, below are these men and women on the dry desert praying for God's blessing, and then a An extremely beautiful woman with a crown on her head and a scepter in her hand is hitting a large round creature. There are countless bugs crawling beside this creature, some of which devour and bite the bodies of men and women. , People cried out in pain.

In the last one, the queen fell to the ground, and people buried her and left here.

Ye Wenji picked up a piece of crystal clear white shell on the fourth floor.

He went to the fifth room again, and there was nothing here.

I saw a huge ancient pagoda-like coffin lying out of thin air, quietly floating high in the air.

There is a divine beast carved on the giant coffin, somewhat similar to the divine beast on the scepter.

Ye Wenji was hanging in the air looking at the giant coffin, what was going on inside, why the giant coffin could be suspended in the sky.

He didn't use any power on his body, but took out the scepter, and he used the scepter to touch the divine beast on the giant coffin.

The giant coffin was opened, and Ye Wenji looked inside.

Inside the coffin was only a roll of yellowed brocade.

He took out the tapestry, looked at it, and was taken aback.

The whole brocade is not big, and the patterns embroidered on it are patterns that he has never seen before.

Fish pattern, deer pattern, flower pattern, mesh pattern, water pattern, seashell pattern, flame pattern and calendar pattern of sun, moon and stars.

Each pattern is woven with different colors and different silks, and the fish pattern is woven with silkworm silk, which looks like small fish swinging in the water.

The deer pattern is woven with mulberry silk, which looks like a running deer; the water pattern is woven with ice silk, like water waves in a brocade without wind; the moving flame pattern is woven with fire feather silk, like a cluster of flames burning.

Flower patterns are woven from ground silk, and seashell patterns can be woven from ice silk.

The patterns of the sun, moon, and stars are woven with four kinds of silk: sky, earth, fire, and ice, like a river of stars falling on the world, giving people an ethereal feeling, like being in a galaxy.

Each pattern is moving like the real thing, because each pattern has a different world in it.

Ye Shi had never seen these patterns before.

As a family of painters, Ye Wenji has seen many patterns, but he has never seen these, and they are woven with various kinds of silk that are considered sacred objects.

If others got this brocade, they would disdain it, but Ye Wenji was different, he loved these couples like treasures by nature.

Although I don't know why Shenggulou Lancheng put this brocade on the fifth floor, and put it in the giant coffin, Ye Wenji still worshiped like the ancient coffin, which is a kind of respect for the holy place.
