However, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, we really have to stay in this tiger mountain!
So, I didn't think about it anymore. I just had to fight back! I sat down on the ground. The hard marble floor was icy cold, and a cold breath kept drilling into my bones. It was very uncomfortable. The most uncomfortable part was my lungs, because the crazy running beyond the limit was hot at this time, just like the chili powder was sucked into the lungs, choking my throat and making it dry and my limbs sore and weak.
I took out a bottle of mineral water from my backpack and sipped it to relieve the various abnormalities in my body. What I need most now is to replenish water, but I can't drink it in large gulps, because the body can't digest it. If I drink it, it will come up immediately. I can't bear to spit it out. Now I am trapped in this place where no one can go. It is unknown when I can get out and whether I can get out. Every sip of water and every piece of food are the most precious supplies and cannot be wasted!
The three of us sat in silence in the open space between the many temples for nearly an hour to rest, and finally recovered some of our strength.
"I don't know where Fatty and the others have gone."
Qingyi straightened his hair. After running wildly, his hair fell down. He looked a little embarrassed. It was probably because the long hair affected his vision, so Qingyi gathered it up and tied it into a Taoist bun. Then he looked at me and the old madman and said in a deep voice: "After resting, let's find someone first. This place is very strange and it is hard to predict good or bad luck. If everyone can't stay together and take care of each other, I'm afraid something will happen!"
Qingyi said this and I remembered this. At the beginning, it was Fatty and the others who ran away first. Qingyi, the old madman and I were the last. At the beginning, we could still keep up with Fatty and the others, but after entering the noble area, the situation became worse and worse. We ran for our lives and then got separated. I really don't know how they are now, and whether they have hidden in this temple area.
I think... they should have come in, right?
After all, the ghost screams outside have stopped, and it is obvious that those dirty things have stopped.
When I mentioned Fatty and Zhou Jing, I couldn't sit still. I stood up with my Baipi knife and followed Qingyi and the old madman to look for Fatty and his whereabouts in these temples.
In this temple, there are many statues and temples. The architectural style is very special, a bit like Gothic architecture, but taller and more rounded. It is probably related to the fact that Daxi is a country surrounded by the sea. In the sea area, the destructive power of typhoons is particularly strong, especially for some low buildings. The lethality is simply off the charts. If the houses are built taller and the edges are not so clear, the losses in the typhoon can be minimized!
After walking around these temples and statues, I also have a general understanding of the beliefs of the former Atlanteans.
Their beliefs are actually very similar to those of ancient Greece, but because it is a country surrounded by the sea, they worship Poseidon, the god of the sea, a little more. The biggest difference is that they believe that the god of the gods is not the god king Zeus, but the hunter Orion, the ruler from the Orion constellation.
Among the ruins, there is only one temple dedicated to the ruler of the constellation Orion. In the center of the temples is a huge building similar to a medieval castle. On the top of the building is a huge statue, which is the image of the hunter Orion. He stands on the bank of the Eridanus, with his two hounds, Canis Major and Canis Minor, beside him, bowing to the sky.
Qingyi, the old madman and I walked around among the temples and finally stopped in front of the temple of the hunter Orion. When we saw the temple, we were stunned.
It's not that the Orion Temple is so magnificent, but it's gloomy and the yin energy is particularly heavy. When I approached it, I felt goose bumps all over my body and shivered uncontrollably. The murderous aura didn't work, which shows how strong the yin energy is.
"Something is wrong here!"
The old madman stopped under the temple and looked up at the statue of hunter Orion on the top of the temple. His cloudy eyes flashed with fear for the first time. He said softly: "There may be a big guy inside."
As he said that, he took out a pocket watch from his ragged coat. It was an antique. It was the most popular gold-plated pocket watch in Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s. Some celebrities and gentlemen liked to have one. It was also an antique. Now it is basically extinct. It can only be found in some tombs of the Republic of China. But it is broken and can't be used. The old madman's piece is obviously not of that kind. It is estimated that it is his personal belongings. The gold plating on it has fallen off. The whole pocket watch looks very shabby. It is worthless, but it is also scary. He still carries this old thing from the beginning of the last century. How old is this old guy?
The old madman looked at the time on his pocket watch, then turned around and said to me and Qingyi: "It's past four in the afternoon. The sun will set in an hour. I guess this place will be uneasy at night. Although it is at the bottom of the sea, it will also be affected by the rising and setting of the sun and the alternation of yin and yang in the outside world. Let's find a place far away from here to hide first and wait until we get through tonight! As for the others... just wish them the best."
"Okay."
Qingyi nodded, seeming a little silent.
I was also under pressure at this time, and I was more worried about Fatty and the others. After all, I was following the two Heavenly Masters, and my safety was basically guaranteed. But Fatty and the others were not very strong in combat, and it was easy for them to get into trouble. But there was no way, the situation was stronger than people, and I could only rely on luck.
The idea was set, so the three of us didn't say much. We quickly evacuated here, and finally found a temple of Venus, the goddess of love, in a more remote place and went in. This temple was relatively small, and there were few doors and windows. In the words of the old madman, it was good to defend if something really happened.
The overall architecture of these temples is built with huge stones. Although it has been nine thousand years, it is still relatively solid, so there is no need to worry about sudden collapse. The entrance is a sliding stone door, and the slide is rusty. It was quite difficult for me to push the door. I finally pulled the stone door open with a "boom". Immediately, a musty smell came out. The temple was also dark. I opened the flashlight and saw that there were bones everywhere. It is estimated that when the catastrophe happened, many Atlanteans were still praying to Venus, the goddess of love, to give them love and marriage, and then they died without any warning!
In addition to these bones, the statue of Venus in the temple was covered with dust. It was obvious that there was something dirty here, but it was not showing up at the moment.
"Bad luck!"
The old madman cursed at that time, took out a seven-flavor true fire talisman from his jacket and held it high, and suddenly shouted: "If you don't want to be burned by me, get out!"
As soon as the voice fell, a gust of cold wind blew in my face, mixed with a lot of dust, and it hit me all at once, choking me and making me cough a few times.
Except for me, Qingyi and the old madman were fine!
"Hey, kid, your skills are still not good enough. Even these little ghosts can tease you!"
The old madman patted my shoulder with a smile, and with a teasing look on his face, he shrugged his red nose and walked past me directly. I almost got angry. I thought to myself that this kind man was bullied by ghosts. Just now, when the old madman took out the Seven Flavors True Fire Talisman, all the dirty things in the temple were scared and ran away. It was just that maybe out of an extremely unhappy mentality, he took out his anger on me when he passed by me, and threw Wuliang Dust all over me!
I felt terrible and could only follow him in dejectedly. I picked a spacious place at random, kicked away the dead bones on the ground, ate a few mouthfuls of food, and then closed my eyes to rest on the spot - I just hoped that the thing in the Temple of Orion would not make any noise at night. However, this ideal is full and the reality is skinny. If it really wants to make trouble, there is nothing I can do. The important thing now is to make good use of the rest. Whether I can sleep at night is another matter!
