Chapter 10 Temple

We successfully descended under the rock mass. The main body of the temple is made of stone, and there are even various gemstones on the main building for decoration. All the colors of these are the colors of the rock itself.The architectural complex here has a distinctive style, and it is definitely not a relic of the ancient Central Plains.None of us have done in-depth research on this aspect, and we can't judge the age information here for a while.It can only be speculated based on the shape of the utensils that this is a temple or other building that plays a religious role.And it should be a religion like Buddhism or a branch of Buddhism.

Then this building complex should be built after the Han Dynasty.Now it seems that although the buildings here are dilapidated and ruined, they are still quite well preserved.So we speculate that this place has not been developed by tourism, at least there has been no sign of large-scale human activities for more than ten years.

The buildings are very tall, standing under the main building, we can't see the sky.Thick sand and dust are buried on the stone steps. If you don't look carefully, you can't really see that there are stone steps here.

There is a lot of sand and dust on the building. Looking at it like this, it looks like it was buried by the desert before. Recently, the sand was suddenly removed by the power of "uncanny craftsmanship" to reveal the temple here.

But in this way, the lake water cannot be explained again. The place where we are now is mostly rock mass, and the surface desertification is not very serious.The surface here suddenly rose from the ground and disappeared without a trace, leaving so many sand grains behind.The gravel seems to have been moved from elsewhere, which makes us feel a little inexplicable.

Looking from the bottom of the valley, there are no wet marks on the rock wall. If this is the case, it will not be exposed for a day or two.But there is no place here on the satellite map, the introduction of the scenic spot, the guide on the Internet, everything, all the tourist information we saw, there is no record of this place, so we think this place appeared suddenly.

We speculate that a storm may have changed the landscape here, bringing this place that had been buried by the desert for many years to light.The lake water is likely to be groundwater out of the ground.But such a storm is a spectacle, if there is one, it should be news in the morning...

No matter how I guess there are loopholes, I always feel that this place is like a huge web of contradictions, like an invisible beast turning into a mirage, waiting for us to fall into its trap.

Sand masks finally came in handy.

We went straight to the central building and found that the gate was sealed by a bunker.We went around and found a big hole opposite the main building and the gate.

It looks like powerful destruction.Then we crawled in through the big hole.

The humidity inside the building is much higher than the outside. The hole we climbed in should have been left a long time ago. A lot of sand poured in from the big hole, so we entered very smoothly.

We guessed right, it is really a Jongmyo.When we came in, we saw the back of a huge statue directly.It should be that the desert has good sealing and drying conditions, and the color of the statue is faintly bright.

We took a detour to look at the front of the sculpture, and we didn't see where it was sacred, but the expression of this statue was different from what I often see in temples today.This statue also has low eyebrows, but the face seems to have a sullen expression, and the corners of the mouth droop.As if we had disturbed his purity, we would inevitably feel guilty if we rushed into this place where the birds don't shit.

The statue's left arm is broken, and there are debris on the ground, but it doesn't look like the statue's left arm.His right hand seemed to be holding something, facing our position, as if he was defending, but also seemed to be attacking.It's just that the thing he held in his hand has long since disappeared, and we have no way of judging what action he made.

Contact the big hole at the back, and then look at the chaos in the temple. It should have been destroyed by manpower.Didn’t Western scholars come to the West for research in the last century? Perhaps that is the trace left by time.

It's just that when our flashlight hits the sculpture's face from bottom to top, combined with the movement of the sculpture, there is always a feeling of hell.This place is really gloomy and scary.

At this moment, Qingming suddenly jumped out of my bag, ran towards the big sculpture, and jumped up in a few strokes.Under the cover of the sculpture's joints, he didn't know where he jumped.

To die, the previous damage will definitely cause cracks inside the sculpture, I hope Qingming will not accidentally step on it and cause the sculpture to collapse suddenly and hit us.

I immediately called out: "Ching Ming is back!"

Qingming didn't answer, but I heard a faint buzzing sound.The voice gradually became clearer, much like the vague noise in the market.Someone here?How could there be anyone here?

I suddenly remembered a particularly frightening thing. It seemed that since we left that road, we hadn’t seen a tourist in the huge tourist area, and even the entrance to the scenic spot was unimpeded.

Cold sweat immediately crawled up the back, and I saw Yiyi's expression was strange.

Yan Jianshan asked: "Did you hear any sound?"

"I seem to have heard it." Yiyi's face paled instantly: "Someone is talking."

"It seems to be right next to us."

We looked at each other and immediately ran behind the super sculpture. When we climbed out of the cave and felt the sun shining, a sense of down-to-earth security immediately surrounded us

But soon I couldn't feel at ease.

Haizi disappeared!
