Chapter 262

    "Ha, this is indeed a temple!"


    Looking at the six huge stone carvings lined up, sitting or standing in front of him, Arthur sighed complacently.


    Previously, because it was too far away, he only looked around and thought this was the entrance of the temple.


    In fact, this is not an entrance at all. The long and narrow space in front of us is like a brick wall, one of which has been taken away - this is the temple itself.


    "Go and see what gods they worship."


    Calling Dafei aside, Arthur bypassed the fallen rock pillar and stepped forward to the huge statue on the square stone seat.


    This place is like a karst cave, and the rock pillars are like stalactites linking up and down.


    Sun God?


    Vulcan?


    Aqua?


    Or the God of life on earth?


    Arthur thought as he approached the statue.


    He doesn''t think the aborigines here can have any complex beliefs. Although all gods are nihilistic, these nihilistic gods will gradually become rich and complex with the development of productive forces.


    The reason is simple: the economic foundation determines the superstructure. The more difficult the years, the lower people''s expectations of God.


    As Arthur gradually approached the statue, the light around him became more and more dim. Fortunately, the cliff temple was not deep, and the statue was huge enough. Even if the light was dim, he could see the face of the statue.


    The rock wall behind the statue was carved into a hole like a shrine. On the stone step of about one foot, there was a huge seat. The craftsman in charge of carving had a good grasp of the key points of carving and did not spend too much time on the chair. Instead, the statue sitting above was carved lifelike.


    Even though the rocks have become thick and mottled after many years, Arthur, standing in front of the statue and looking up, can still feel his majestic gaze from the cold rock eyes.


    The statue of God is about five meters high and has a rough and crazy face. The muscular arms and thighs are exposed under the animal''s leather clothes. The left hand holds the stone chair and the right hand firmly holds the stone carving giant sword on the knee.


    "What God is this?" Arthur muttered with his head raised. "God of war or... Beast God?"


    Glancing at the mighty seated statue in front of him, Arthur tried to search for words or symbols that could prove each other''s identity. Finally, his eyes fell on the stone steps in front of the statue''s feet.


    "Really, I don''t set up a conspicuous stone tablet."


    While complaining, he stepped forward, bent down and looked down at the wind erosion blurred words in front of him.


    "You can''t understand it again. Don''t block the light."


    Pushing Dafei''s curious head away, Arthur read intermittently in the dim light: "... Zara tuss of... We fight... Out of the dark cold... Arrive in new on the eve of dawn... His spirit sleeps here and guards mankind..."


    The words on the stone steps were so vague that Arthur didn''t know several characters and read them intermittently.


    "Goo Goo?"


    "You can come. I want to know what I''m reading!"


    Seeing Arthur''s stuttering reading, Dafei tilted his head and complained about being pushed away just now.


    "What trouble."


    Stroking the dust on the stone steps and facing the statue with his back, Arthur sat down helplessly.


    Looking down at the vague words on the ground, he studied them again and complained: "shit, can you directly write titles such as'' God of fire '','' God of water ''and'' God of grain ''? It has to be so complicated!"


    "Goo Goo!"


    Imitating Arthur''s appearance, Dafei also sat aside, lowered his bird''s head, looked at the words on the stone steps and cried discontentedly.


    "What do you know? I don''t know it''s a word when the shoulder pole falls down."


    "Gollum!"


    "You are a stupid bird!"


    This guy dares to call him a fool.


    Staring at the words on the stone steps, Arthur thought to himself: "Zara tus should be the name of the God, such as the Dark Dawn. He should be bragging about some miracles of the God and sleeping here... Does it mean that the God is dead - God will die?"


    Arthur was a little hooded and couldn''t understand what the words on the stone steps were.


    "Zarathus... Zarathus..." turned his head and looked at the cold statue behind him. Arthur muttered. He always felt that the name Zara tus had been heard of and was very famous.


    "Zara tus!" a moment later, Arthur shouted fiercely, frightening the big fly to one side.


    "Sleep here forever! Does that mean..."


    Ignoring the big fly who shouted "Goo Goo", Arthur immediately jumped up from the stone steps and rushed to the back of the statue.


    "Sure enough, sure enough!"


    Through the gap between the stone pedestal and the cliff, in the cavity behind the statue, a stone coffin with mottled years and rough appearance is placed in the shadow.


    Looking at the sarcophagus in front of him, Arthur''s breathing became urgent.


    Throwing aside Dafei who came forward, he immediately walked to another statue on one side.


    This is a statue with a pestle axe, wearing leather armor and glaring at the statue in front.


    He did not care to appreciate the mighty posture of the statue, but immediately came to the foot of the statue and in front of the stone steps carved with words.


    "The land of green, the great king Fran Hal... The evil land in the cold wind... Find again... His bravery leads mankind... Sleep... The axe in his hand forever..."


    The words in front of him were more blurred, but Arthur had guessed the identity of the statue. He jumped up the stone steps and walked again to the hole behind the statue.


    Under the shadow, the same sarcophagus stood quietly.


    Through the gap between the statue and the cliff, Arthur raised his hand to touch the rough rock surface and carefully looked at the sarcophagus in front of him.


    The sarcophagus in front of us is seriously weathered. Most of the patterns and carvings on it have become the dust around the sarcophagus.


    After looking at it carefully, Arthur muttered, "false, it seems there won''t be a body in here."


    This is just a stone carving like a sarcophagus. There is no gap to open the lid of the sarcophagus. Naturally, there can be no corpse in the middle of the period.


    Arthur nodded. No body is in line with the legend.


    He stepped out of the hole behind the statues. With the footsteps echoing around, Arthur quickly looked at the other four statues and sarcophagus.


    "All right!" Arthur sighed, looking at the six huge statues in front of him. "It seems that I guessed wrong again. This is not a temple, but another tomb for sacrificing the ancestors."


    Although his guess was wrong again, his heart pounded with excitement when he looked at these cold stone statues in front of him.


    There are six stone statues and six Sarcophagus, five of which are only sculptures. Only the sarcophagus named bury monteris lies with a yellow dead bone.


    Taking back his eyes from the stone statue, Arthur frowned and thought.


    "It seems that the ballads and legends are not all false, but the history of Xuecheng. It seems that there are some problems..."


    Just as he was about to return to the territory and make a good inquiry about Mr. ilu, there was a sudden whistling of ghost faced Eagles outside the canyon.
