Heatherenne didn't know about Vivien's "auditory hallucinations", so she was confused at this time: "What do you mean?"
”"Vivien has been hearing her name called a lot lately, but it's all auditory hallucinations," Hao Ren said as he turned to Vivian, "Hear voices again?"
Haven't you been getting better lately?
”"This time it's clearer than before," Vivien's face was solemn, "I'm almost sure it's coming from that direction......"
The direction she was looking at was the end of the dark corridor.In the light of the fire, which was very happy to flicker, only a deep darkness was left ten meters away, and the end of the road seemed to be shrouded in the unknown of eternal malice, with a cold aura.Hao Ren felt that Vivian's "auditory hallucinations" were probably not as simple as she thought at first, and now that she thought about it carefully, it seemed that her "auditory hallucinations" did indeed appear after the people of the Heatherian family discovered this alien space.If there is indeed a connection between the two, what kind of secrets are buried in this ancient city?
At the end of the corridor was an open hall, empty, and there seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary.After passing through the stone arch of the corridor, Hao Ren looked at the empty place in front of him and asked, "Are you sure the sound came from here?"
”Vivien looked around, and as soon as she came out of the long hallway, it was such a boxy, palace-like place, judging from the location, it should have been close to the center of the Great Pyramid, and like the rest of the temple, it had been completely emptied, except for the huge stone pillar in the center of the hall and the reliefs on the stone pillars, which could not have been removed, the various decorations and magnificent statues that might have been displayed here were long gone."
The voice is gone again," she tapped her forehead lightly, "but it must have come from that direction." ”Since the gargoleys outside would not enter the Great Temple, the data terminal had returned to Hao Ren at this moment, and it flew around in the empty hall, and finally stopped next to the boxy granite pillar in the center of the hall: "The pattern on this pillar seems to have some clues!"
”The granite pillar is the most striking thing in the hall, each side of it is several meters wide, and it is engraved with exquisite relief patterns, even after thousands of years of wind and frost, those patterns are still quite intact, and the data terminal quickly repaired the few defects on the relief through restoration technology, and then found that the picture on this stone pillar is the follow-up to the murals in the outer temple.The first thing Hao Ren saw was the mask on the stone pillar: the inhabitants of Otos used this mask to signify their great "master"."
This describes what happened after the death of the giant beast of Artos, and the people built a new city on the head of the giant beast," the data terminal indicated different locations on the relief with different beams, "here and here, all continuous. ”"The 'Great Juggernaut' did not leave after killing Ertos, but settled down on the plains, and he neither accepted the offerings of mortals nor left the place, but silently watched the establishment of new cities......"
Lily pointed to the relief, and finally built Ertos after twenty-two years, and established four more cities on the fertile land around Ertos."
On the day the city was completed, the sky of Artos was covered with a ring of clouds, and the wolf god of the beast-headed gods thought it was a great omen, so he led the other beast-headed gods to the caves of the plains, asking the great lord to come and protect the city.They offered barley, chickpeas, honey, and spiced roasted meat to the Great Lord as followers, and the Great Lord finally nodded in agreement and became the presiding god of Artos. ”Hearing Lily read this, Hao Ren couldn't help but ask Vivian: "Is there anything special about this 'offering'?"
”"The content of the offerings was not very particular, because there was no unified ritual system at that time, and the 'offerings' themselves had a special meaning," Vivien explained, "In the mythological era, all races were in turmoil, and not every alien could be the supreme ruler of mortals for a long time - sometimes a great natural disaster or war would defeat some of the weaker 'gods', and they would worship other aliens who were stronger than themselves with the attitude of mortals worshipping themselves, which would lead to them being swallowed up by other 'gods', or even completely lost' God's status, but at least to save his life.It seemed that the situation around Artos was very bad at that time, and the beast-headed gods felt that they could not keep their own territory, so they went to hug the thigh of the great master. ”Hao Ren nodded, continued to look down, and read the content on the relief by himself: "......
The new main god resides in the great temple in the center of Aertos, receiving the worship of mortals day and night, and under the protection of powerful gods, Ertos becomes a nation that no one dares to offend......
"The beast-headed gods chose to submit to the new main god, and they became the priests of Aertus and lived in the great temple and the surrounding small temples."
In order to protect the city, the beast-headed gods collected the bone plates that had fallen off Athoth's body after his death, and they forged and burned them, infusing them with the power of fire and earth, and then crafted them into gigantic warriors......
"These warriors are made in the image of the beast-headed gods, they are infinitely powerful, they have bodies as strong as mountains and rocks, and they never get tired......"
"The shape of the beast-headed gods, the huge stone statues, never tired," Lily blinked, "That's what we are talking about." ”"There is no doubt about it," Hao Ren nodded approvingly, "I didn't expect that the body of those stone statues was actually made of the remains of Artos, no wonder it was so strong, and it didn't look like the metals and ores known on Earth." ”Itzhax pointed to the relief depicting the new lord god staying in Atos: "So the great lord lives in the central temple of the city—the place where we are now?"
”Hao Ren stood up straight, looking around with more and more puzzled eyes.It's a temple that has been emptied out - it's not an exaggeration to say it's been looted, if the "Great Lord" is really the supreme ruler of Aetos, if he really has supreme authority here, then why is this place like this?
Considering that everything is intact in the surrounding small temples, it is more likely that the large temple was abandoned before the accident in the city, and could the "supreme lord" who ruled the place have moved away by then?
There is no subsequent account of this event on the relief, and there is not even a record of the abandonment of the great temple, but it is also considered that since the people have abandoned the place, there is no need to leave a construction note in the demolition ruins.Vivien stood in front of the stone pillar carved in relief for a long time, as if trying to remember the city destroyed by her moonlight, but her shattered memories were as hard to recall as ever.After a long period of thought and silence, she put her hand on the mask pattern representing "Juggernaut" on the stone pillar: "To be honest, this mask is really ugly......
As soon as she said this, the stone pillar suddenly changed unexpectedly!
The lines on the relief were distorted, and the originally solid hard stone began to flow and deform like soft mud at this moment, and the cuneiform characters and patterns full of ancient civilization style on the stone pillar were quickly swallowed up by the wriggling surface like this soft clay, and in the stunned gaze of everyone, all the reliefs on the stone pillar dissolved in a few breaths!
Then line after line of twisted text emerged: Don't wake Him up!
Don't wake Him up!
Don't wake Him up!
…… The words on the stone pillar came out line by line as if frantically swiping the screen, and then quickly dissolved with the surface of the soft mud, this scene was weird and terrifying, and this was only the beginning: with the abnormal changes on the stone pillar, a low voice suddenly echoed in the entire Great Pyramid: the sound was indescribable, it was like a muffled thunder rolling among the clouds, continuous and seemingly endless, but the muffled sound was mixed with the sound of countless people shouting and screaming, Occasionally mixed with crackling tearing sound and the sharp sound of the wind howling, the roll on Hao Ren's back was awakened by this sound almost instantly, she hurriedly jumped off Hao Ren's back, lying on all fours, her eyes kept looking in all directions, her tail stood up straight like a fluffy stick, and her back arched high: "Meow woo woo woo-" "Spatial distortion detected, repeat, the machine detected spatial distortion......"
The data terminal also sounded a warning at the same time, Then an indicator beam was shot forward, and at the end of the beam, Hao Ren saw a stone wall in the hall suddenly "expand".This is a phenomenon that is difficult for the human brain to understand directly, the original boxy, unobstructed stone hall shook violently like a mirror, a stone wall became farther and farther away in the trembling, and in a moment, the area of the hall more than doubled, as if it was originally so huge, and in the new part of the hall, Hao Ren saw a tall stone platform standing there, and a ring of braziers were distributed around the stone platform - they automatically burned the moment they appeared.On top of the altar-like stone platform, a heavy coffin made of gold is slowly being pushed open.Hao Ren instantly felt his hairs stand on end."
One of the essentials of digging a grave," Lily said angrily beside Vivien, "don't touch anything you don't understand what it's for." ”Vivien stared at the golden coffin on the stone platform and swallowed hard: "I actually slept in a golden coffin......
So rich......
"Everyone:"?
”"What the hell is it?"
Hao Ren doesn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, he has read the plots of various movies, TV series, novels, and he knows that waiting for the opponent to complete the transformation/awakening/charging/explosion is equivalent to death, so as soon as the golden coffin was halfway open, he directly raised his hand and threw a graviton bomb into it.The moment it exploded with a loud bang, he took out his censor's gun again, and made up three shots in a row.
