"Brother Gu from Yaoman Ancient Temple, what are you talking about?"
I was a little confused and turned around and asked.
"It's nothing, I just feel that this ancient temple is a bit like the legendary ancient temple of demons and barbarians in Tibet.
I wish I had thought more and gone over to have a look."
Gu Xinlie pursed his lips and then said.
I nodded and followed him forward.
When I got closer to the ancient temple, the sight in front of me suddenly shocked me.
I saw that right in front of us, there was a large area of ice and snow, which was piled up here.
Next to the ancient temple, the tall mountain has become a natural sunshade wall, and there is no trace of melting around.
The entire temple door and the surrounding mountain walls seemed to be embedded in an iceberg.
It was like this within a range of about seven or eight meters.
My body felt a little cold, and I shivered immediately and said, "How come there is such a large area of ice and snow in this place?
It's so weird."
"I don't know."
Gu Xinlie frowned, glanced at something, suddenly patted my shoulder, and motioned for me to come over.
I turned around and saw that Gu Xinlie was walking towards a snowdrift next to the ancient temple.
The snowdrift was very high, about five or six meters tall, leaning against the mountain.
Gu Xinlie walked over.
He knelt down and pointed at a dark thing in front of him for me to look at.
I squinted my eyes and took a closer look, and my heart suddenly skipped a beat.
This dark thing turned out to be several sharp and slender claws.
I suddenly took a breath of cold air, and the big black mastiff roared loudly next to me, staring at the snowdrift with bared teeth.
Gu Xinlie swallowed, stretched out his hand to clear the snow behind the paw, and then looked up along the black paw.
I saw a snake-like monster suddenly appeared in the snowdrift.
This thing was almost tens of meters long, hovering on the ground.
It was as thick as a human waist, and its body was covered with dark scales.
It could only be seen in the snowdrift.
A small part of the body, but how could a snake have claws?
I lowered my head again and looked at the shrunken sharp claws, and couldn't help but frown and thought.
This thing was hidden in the snowdrift, motionless, and half of its body was still nestled into the mountain wall.
We don’t know whether it is dead or alive, but just seeing this part of the body leaking out, Gu Xinlie and I also As you can guess, it is almost dozens of meters long.
Then Gu Xinlie moved the snow again.
For a moment, Gu Xinlie and I found more than ten shrunken sharp claws on this thing, which made my skin crawl.
What on earth is this thing?
How could a snake or a centipede be so big?
Countless questions suddenly popped up in my head, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to look at this thing.
I raised my eyes and looked around.
The temperature here was very low, at least a few degrees lower than in other places.
I breathed out, then looked down at the big black mastiff, thinking that it was too late at this time.
There is no need for it anymore.
I don’t know what I will encounter when I enter the temple.
If I leave this dog here, I won’t be able to explain it to the waiter later.
So I patted its head, scratched its neck, and did the movements taught to me by the waiter.
The big black mastiff understood instantly, barked twice, then turned around and ran out.
Then I lit a cigarette, then squinted my eyes and said to Gu Xinlie: "Brother Gu, I'm afraid the snow here is man-made.

I think this ancient temple is a bit weird.
Let's go back and find Liu Xuance now." , it’s better for us to go in directly.”
I don't know why, but this place gave me a very bad feeling.
There was a sense of terror for no reason.
This terror was even deeper than in the ancient tomb.
"The two of us go in directly, otherwise we have to come over with Liu Xuance, which is too troublesome."
Gu Xinlie raised his head and told me, and then continued to study the thing hidden in the snowdrift.
I thought that thing was a bit scary and disgusting, so I didn't follow it.
Instead, I looked at the two stone pillars erected at the entrance of the ancient temple.
These two stone pillars are not particularly high.
They appear to be only about three meters and more than half a meter thick.
There is a monster carved on the top of each pillar.
One monster looks like a snake, while the other looks like a bear.
I touched my chin and asked myself about the monsters in ancient Chinese legends.
I knew about as many as eight hundred if not a thousand.
I could read ancient books like the Classic of Mountains and Seas very well, but I had never seen these two monsters before. of.
This can't help but make me feel a little evil.
Could it be that the owner of the ancient temple imagined this?
I couldn't help but think to myself.
After a while, Gu Xinlie came over and told me a strange thing.
He had removed all the snow, and the thing hidden in the snow turned out to be a weird crouching dragon.
He said it was weird because of the dragon's The face is severely distorted and flat, resembling a snake or a centipede, but not like a dragon.
But this thing turned out to be a statue.
Yes, it was a stone sculpture carved from unknown materials, but the claws were all real and spliced to the stone sculpture one by one.
This made me feel a little strange.
I went over to take a look and touch it.
Sure enough, this thing was really carved from a statue, but the claws were the same as the abdominal feet of a centipede.
This appearance was obviously not the dragon in the weird Chinese legend.
It should be It is a totem alienated by ethnic minorities.
"It looks like it should be an alienated totem, but among the ethnic minorities in China, I really don't know of any who believe in this thing."
I looked at the "centipede dragon" in front of me and said.
"This is not a totem, it is an evil god of religious belief.
I wonder if you have heard of the Ghost Bodhisattva and the Thousand-Eyed Spider.
They are the same thing as this.
They are evil gods worshiped by cults.
But I am sure that this is a dragon."
Gu Xin Lie held the knife and said softly.
I nodded.
The evolution of Chinese dragons is very long.
In the beginning, the dragons were crawling and crawling like snakes, similar to the candle dragons in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Later, they would just find a random animal head and put it on a snake to become a dragon. , at that time, each tribe had its own dragon totem, some with the head of a bull and the body of a snake, and some with the body of a tiger.
After the Han Dynasty, the culture was unified, and the image of the dragon gradually changed into the familiar crocodile mouth, snake body, eagle claws, python scales, and antlers.
From this point of view, this "centipede dragon" may really be the evil god enshrined by the cult.
After all, dragons give people the impression of being mighty and domineering, but this dragon looks a bit weird and disgusting, which makes people feel uneasy.
Chill, but in this way, if this dragon is really an evil god, then this ancient temple should be the clubhouse of the evil cult.

Gu Xinlie and I studied the material of this "Centipede Dragon" for a while, but we found that all the ores we knew did not have this kind of feel and material.
They were like gold and jade, which was very strange.
Gradually, the sky became dark.
Gu Xinlie and I looked around and saw no one, so we pushed open the temple door and entered the ancient temple.
However, the temple door seemed to be blocked by something.
No matter how hard Gu Xinlie and I pushed it, it couldn't move.
Even using a pry to pry it was to no avail.
After working for a long time, I kicked the temple door and gasped, "It's really annoying.
I've come here and the temple door still can't be opened."
"Don't worry, I think there should be a mechanism here.
I'm afraid there is a sealing stone behind the temple door.
If we force our way in, there may be hidden crossbows waiting for us.
This ancient temple is no safer than ordinary ancient tombs, so be careful.
"Gu Xinlie patted me on the shoulder and said, and then started looking around for the "trouble."
I searched for most of the day, but didn't see anything suspicious.
After working all afternoon, I was a little hungry, so I took out the jerky from my bag and started to nibble on it.
I also threw a few pieces to Gu Xinlie.
But before I finished eating, Gu Xinlie suddenly said with his penis in his mouth, "Come here quickly, I found it."
As soon as I heard this, my heart moved, I patted my butt and trotted over quickly.
I saw Gu Xinlie standing in front of the "Centipede Dragon" sculpture at this time, and a chain as black as ink was hanging outside the sculpture's mouth, with a ring on the head of the chain.
I felt happy, and I quickly pulled up the chain with Gu Xinlie.
I saw that the chain began to spit out section by section, and it ended after a while.
Gu Xinlie and I looked at each other, laughed twice, and then started to push the ancient temple door.
Sure enough, the chain in the mouth of the "Centipede Dragon" was the mechanism.
At this time, Gu Xinlie and I hadn't exerted much force yet. , the door of the ancient temple opened with a creak, and it was dark inside, with a strong wind blowing in the face.
I shivered, held up the flashlight and held the instant knife in my hand, and walked in first.
Gu Xinlie followed behind me, his steps were very light, but when we just entered, there was a sudden bang behind us.
The temple door closed on its own, and at the same time, two rows of torches lit up the originally dark wall.
This change scared me so much that I shivered all over.
I turned to look at Gu Xinlie and saw that he was also sweating on his temples.
Through the firelight on both sides of the wall, Gu Xinlie and I could see clearly that we were on a stone path, and the end of the stone path faced a hall, and we didn't know what was inside.
There was a torch hanging every three steps on both sides of the stone path, which seemed to have been prepared a long time ago.
I swallowed.
There were also some strange murals carved on the walls on both sides of the stone path, but because of the light of the fire, I didn't see it clearly, but there must be some legends recorded there.
Gu Xinlie and I stood there for a while, then took a breath and slowly walked towards the hall in front.
It was extremely quiet here, with no sound at all, except for the gradually accelerating heartbeats and breathing of Gu Xinlie and I. .
"Don't get confused and panic.
Stay still."
Just when I was still a little frightened, Gu Xinlie's voice appeared in my ears.
I nodded, gritted my teeth, calmed my mind, and walked toward the hall at the end of the stone path
