The corridor we came down from has been blocked by a hanging stone gate. It is definitely impossible to return the same way. At present, the only place we can go is the iron gate in the southeast.
The ghost believers just poured out from that iron gate. I guess that after passing through that iron gate, the final destination must be the master's bedroom, that is, the place where the Saint Sima is.
There is still no news from the fat man and his friends. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be with Saint Sima.
After all, we must bump into Saint Sima in the end!
After resting for a while, the old madman was in good spirits. He walked very fast and took the lead to pass through the iron gate and disappeared into the darkness.
Qingyi and I did not delay and followed closely.
Behind the iron gate is a corridor that is 100 meters long. At the end of the corridor is a corridor. The steps in the corridor extend upwards, and no one knows where it leads to.
Only when we really came in did we find that both sides of this corridor were covered with murals. However, because it was too long and it was underground, the murals were not well preserved. They were severely oxidized and carbonized. Many places were black and it was difficult to see the details.
I took a rough look at these murals. Although I didn't see them completely, I saw some clues.
As expected, all the murals recorded were religious contents, which were the process of the believers of the Orion God Orion preaching. There were many bloody contents, including the punishment of pagans, which looked shocking.
Looking at the contents of these murals, I guess they were definitely not allowed to be seen in the light when the Atlantis was still there. At least they would not be seen by outsiders. They were all recorded in the form of oil paintings or murals in some places that could not be seen in the light, and only for some fanatics in the religion to admire! This model is somewhat similar to the religion in the Middle Ages in the West. Many churches left in the West now have similar corridor structures or basements, which contain top-secret religious files, or oil paintings that record some shady missionary methods, such as the open and secret struggles between theocracy and imperial power. These contents are only shown to fanatics for further brainwashing!
After a rough look at the murals above, I gradually have some understanding of the beliefs of the Atlanteans.
In the final analysis, the state religion of the Great Western Kingdom has many similarities with many Western religions, which can be said to be exactly the same!
This is still a narrow religion. Although they worship many gods, they believe that the great god Orion in the Orion constellation is the only true God in the world. It is the great god Orion who gave the Atlanteans life, wealth and a rich life. They can love every god under the seat of the great god Orion, but the degree of love cannot exceed the love for the great god Orion. Anyone who dares to disrespect the great god Orion should be deprived of everything, including the monarch of Atlantis!
They preach the benevolence of the great god Orion and peace, but the premise is that you must believe in the great god Orion to have peace and benevolence, otherwise you are a pagan and should be sentenced to death!
For example, these murals record such an incident. In the year 10004 of the Atlantis calendar, about 10,000 years ago, a drunkard urinated in front of the Orion Temple and shouted that his favorite person was the goddess of love Venus, because Venus's sexiness made him particularly impulsive. As a result, what this unfortunate guy said was heard by Orion's fanatics, who branded him a pagan and locked him up. The next day, he cut off his balls with a knife, and after being castrated, he was hung on the execution pole in the square and exposed to the sun for half a month until he became a mummy.
This is probably the state religion of the Great Western Kingdom, which is more stringent than the imperial rule, and once suppressed the imperial power of the ruler of Atlantis!
After a quick look at these murals, I guessed why the saint Sima of the great god Orion was played with the seven-level fire game - when the divine power expands to an extreme and challenges the imperial power, then the royal family will not be polite, and war is sooner or later, and the monarch who controls the army can generally eat up the arrogant and domineering charlatans.
To put it bluntly, pretending to be powerful will be struck by lightning, it's that simple!
After passing through this corridor, we entered the corridor. This corridor was different from the corridor where we were nailed when we came in. It was straight up. After walking for about half an hour, we finally got out of this corridor and came to a room similar to a study, but the things inside were almost rotten, the yin energy was very heavy, and the walls were covered with dust. Obviously, no one had come in for a long time. All the people living here were dirty!
Needless to say, the place we are in now must be the Orion Temple. As soon as we came up, we heard the sound of chanting coming from outside. It was a very low chanting sound, as if someone was praying not far from us. There were men and women, and the prayers were mixed together, but the tone was very pious.
Qingyi listened for a while, then lowered his voice and said to me and Lao Feng: "It seems to be the voices of Fatty and others. Are they praying?"
Fatty praying?
The corner of my eye twitched fiercely. I believe in anyone who prays, except the fat man!
This gentleman is a completely faithless hedonist. It would be strange if he could calm down and be a believer. He told me before that he had done a lot of immoral things in these years. He would beg his grandfather and grandmother if his child was born without an asshole. He would not count on the great gods such as Tathagata Buddha and Jesus to bless him. Even if he did good deeds for the rest of his life, he would still be boiled in oil after death. Why bother? So it is better to dig a few more graves while you are young and have a few more women!
But Qingyi's words were not aimless. I walked to the door of the study and put my ear against the door to listen carefully. Don't say, the prayer sound became clearer and clearer as soon as I put my ear against the door. I listened for more than ten minutes and my heart became more and more terrified!
Isn't that the voice of the fat man among the prayers!
Not only the fat man's voice, but also Zhang Jinya and Zhou Jing's voices, even Rosa and Lin Qing, the two female demons, are praying!
What I can't understand the most is that even Chen Yu is praying, I am completely confused - you are just a blood ghost corpse, appearing just to kill, why are you praying? Those gods who bestow blessings in the mortal world are your mortal enemies. If there are really such things, they will kill you the first time they see you! !
As the saying goes, there must be something wrong with this matter. I wonder if they are possessed? In short, this matter is getting more and more weird!
"Never mind, we'll know the depth after we take a look."
The old madman said in a deep voice: "I really don't know what kind of ghost this master is. Other ghosts bewitched the living to absorb some yang energy, but this one is so good that it actually asked people to pray. Could it be that it was still preaching after death? It's too hard to understand what it did!"
After saying that, the old madman came up and pushed me open the door and walked out.
There was a corridor outside the study, and there were many rooms. As soon as I came out, the prayers of the fat man and his friends became clearer. Following the prayers of the fat man and his friends, I was basically sure that the fat man and his friends should be in the room at the end of the corridor.
Without much delay, the three of us went straight to the room. When we reached the door, we had weapons in our hands and were ready for a fight. The old madman then kicked the door with a flying kick. At that time, there was only a "clang" sound, and the door was kicked open!
Suddenly, a white light jumped into our eyes, and then I finally saw the layout of this room!
This should be a huge church, with many tattered seats inside, which have long been rotten. The walls around the church are inlaid with huge night-shining pearls. The white light is emitted by the night-shining pearls. Under the illumination of these lights, everything in the church is clear.
Fatty and his friends are indeed inside. At this time, they are worshiping the statue of Orion in the middle of the church. Under the statue, a woman in white clothes with long golden hair is sitting cross-legged. Under the soft halo of the night-shining pearls, she looks indescribably holy and is calmly accepting the kneeling worship of Fatty and his friends...
