Celestial Masters Alliance

The painting on the wall has peeled off a lot due to weathering, and the color has become dull, but the outline can still be distinguished.

"It's a sacrificial scene!" Shan Yu said suddenly.

I was a little surprised. When she said this, the scene seemed to be a sacrifice. There was a large group of people, some kneeling on the ground, some lying on the ground, and there were fires everywhere. The strangest thing was that everyone was arranged in a circle, a bit like the scene projected by the jade lock, and the Phoenix Mausoleum. So is the dome. But if you think about it carefully, many foreign church domes have such a structure. It is really rare in China, and it is also rare to see Buddha statues arranged in a circular shape. Why do they appear so frequently here?

A gust of cold wind made me tremble. I held the trumpet's hand and shined the flashlight towards the place where the cold wind was blowing. It was a corner. In the corner of the wall, half a person's height above the ground, there was a hole as big as a washbasin. " Are spiders dug to transport food?" When Xiaoba said this, we all shuddered.

"There is a passage over here!" Mu Mu had already moved forward for a while. I took the flashlight from Xiaoba's hand and gave him a wink. Xiaoba immediately caught up with Mu Mu, and I followed behind with a flashlight to protect Shan Yu.

We only walked forward about a hundred meters, and suddenly there was a wide open space in front of us. Have you ever seen a palace made of gold? I think this is it!

The golden pillars in the hall stand tall, about twenty meters long. Next to the pillars stands a golden crane as tall as a person. I lit the lighter with the wood and tried it near the top of the crane. A beam of fire appeared on the crane's head. Above the head, there is an oil lamp.

The wood continued to light the oil lamp and we descended the stairs to the hall. The floor of the hall is also golden, but it is not smooth. There are grooves as wide as the palm of my hand every few meters. I carefully explored the depth of the groove, which is about three fingers deep. The grooves also form a circular shape. I looked up at the dome, and sure enough, there were circles there corresponding to the ground. The difference was that the circles on the dome were not grooves, but characters like the dome of the Phoenix Mausoleum. What does that mean?

"What are these?" Xiaoba picked up a cup from the ground, and then I noticed that there were hundreds of such cups neatly arranged among the circles on the ground.

I approached the trumpet, took the cup in his hand and looked at it carefully with the wolf-eye flashlight. Under strong light, the cup appears reddish-brown, with dense yellow thin lines mixed in regularly. Its texture is not smooth to the touch, like touching your own nails. If you put it under your nose and smell it, the smell is a bit like medicine. Used turtle shell. The cup has a large mouth and a small bottom, and is in the shape of a bucket. It is made of thick material, the size of a palm, but weighs three or four kilograms. There are characters engraved on the inside of the bottom, and they are the kind of characters that I can't understand. I shine the flashlight from the inside of the cup to the outside, and it can reveal red light.

"Look! There's a big one in the middle!" Xiaoba said and walked towards the center of the hall.

At this time, the wood had already lit up most of the oil lamps. Perhaps the metal material of the hall had its own reflective effect, but the weak firelight had already illuminated the hall brightly. I put the cup in my hand back to its original position and walked towards Xiaoba.

The one in the center of the hall can't be called a cup. It's as high as my waist and abdomen, so I estimate it's over 1.3 meters tall. It's cylindrical in shape, about the same size from top to bottom, and has a diameter as long as my entire arm. The body of the tube is blood red, and although there are yellow vertical threads, they are very few. There are two phoenixes engraved on the outside of the tube, which are different from the phoenix totems that are usually seen. There are characters engraved on the inside of the tube vertically. I shook the tube to see how heavy it was.

"Don't move!" Mu Mu shouted. He also took a cup and looked carefully, and seemed to find something. "It's a rhinoceros horn cup!"

"So what?" Xiaoba and I both looked at him blankly.

"Rhinoceros horns suppress evil, I think it's best not to move!" Mu Mu put the cup in his hand back to its original position.

I was about to yell at him, but when I thought about how the biological knowledge I had learned was frequently broken here, it was better for me to stop talking. After Mu Mu put down the cup, he frowned and looked behind me. I glanced at it with some fear. It was nothing serious. It was just Shan Yu who was taking pictures with his mobile phone again! In fact, for girls, Shan Yu's performance is enough to make people worry-free. He neither made a fuss nor cried, but just took pictures quietly. Mumu also kept his promise and would not embarrass Shan Yu everywhere... However, I suddenly felt a strange feeling in my heart when I looked at Shan Yu taking pictures.

I shook my head vigorously. No matter what the strange feeling was, I was more willing to believe that Shan Yu came here because he liked me and wanted to have more opportunities to get along with me.

"What's wrong? Brother?" Xiaoba asked worriedly. Mumu just sighed softly.

I didn’t want to ask Shan Yu about the purpose of following us, nor did I want to ruin my unclarified love, so I quickly changed my focus, stroked the round tube in the center and said, "Those small ones are rhinoceros horn cups, what about this big one? Why?" Is it possible to have such a big rhinoceros horn?”

"Not to mention this big one, a small rhinoceros horn would cost at least ten thousand yuan in the antique market. There are hundreds of them here, we have to distribute them!" Xiaoba said with a smile.

"You have to go to jail! Selling rare animal products will result in a minimum sentence of five to fifteen years!" Mu Mu attacked.

Xiaoba picked up another cup on the ground. I grabbed it and put it back. I found a word on the place where the cup was placed. We were just looking at the cup and didn't pay attention to it. I pointed to the word, and Xiaoda quickly picked up the nearest cup to look at it and said, "There's one here too!" It seems that the placement of the cups is particular.

"What are you looking for?" An old voice drifted over.

I shivered with fright and looked for the sound. An old woman who could command spiders was standing at the entrance of the hall looking at us, followed by her black and white pet baby. The four of us quickly gathered together. The old lady asked her pet to guard the door and walked towards us.

"What are you looking for?" She had already walked up to us, her eyes fixed on the wood, her eyes shining with disbelief.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, I put my arms around Mu Mu's neck and pointed at his face and asked, "We are looking for Zhao Qiming, a man in his fifties. That man is his father!"

"Zhao Qiming?" The old woman read the name again, stressing the word "Zhao" in particular. Then her eyes fell into confusion, but she still stared at the wood.

Actually, I didn't say this all because I wanted to ask about Uncle Qiming's whereabouts. The main purpose was to clear up the relationship with Zhu Ziqing. As far as I know, he is a playboy. Judging from the age of this old woman, if she has anything to do with him, it must not be a good thing. If she decides that Zhu Ziqing is related to us, she will probably hate her out of love and let her little pet have another intimate contact with us.

Shan Yu looked sideways at me and Mu Mu with confusion. I was a little worried that the secret would be revealed. Fortunately, the old woman didn't notice her. The old woman put all her thoughts and attention on Mu Mu. We were in a stalemate like this for a while.

Xiaoba seemed to realize something, and kept saying: "We are just looking for someone, grandma, have you seen him?"

The sound of the trumpet brought the old lady's attention back. Her eyes flickered, and then she cast her gaze on my hand that was resting on the wooden shoulder. She stared at me in surprise, with bright eyes that were very out of proportion to her body. It instantly magnified several times and landed on my face, and then landed on the birthmark next to my ear. She seemed to be frightened, and took a step back. Her mouth was slightly open, and her wrinkled dark blue lips were high. Vibrating frequently.

We are at a stalemate again. I was a little worried that she would suddenly attack us, and my body tensed up unconsciously. Mumu also felt this tension, and quietly reached out to the back of the backpack, where the telescopic trekking pole I bought for him was hidden.

However, the old woman's legs suddenly softened and she fell to the ground. I was stunned for a moment, what kind of fuss was going on? I glanced at Mu Mu, who shook his head slightly and led me closer to her. With the wood protecting me, I felt confident and slowly stretched out my hands to the old lady.

She only took my hand with the ring and touched it. My heart skipped a beat, it was another person who could see the ring.
