There are many benches placed in the temple hall, rows next to each other, arranged neatly. The windows on the walls are very high and wide, and the windows are covered with colorful window paper with complicated patterns. The light shines on the windows and is refracted back, filling the hall with a colorful halo, which is quite mysterious.
Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu walked in and looked straight to the end of the temple hall.
At the end of the temple hall stands a statue of a god dozens of meters high. It is made of blue crystal and reflects a blue light, which is very beautiful.
Ning Tao's eyes moved to the face of the statue, and he was stunned for a moment.
The face of the statue was that of an ape, with its nostrils pointing upwards, and its hair was very long and had no hairstyle at all.
"This is an ape-man. Is this what the god ape-man believes in looks like?" Bi Mingzhu said.
Ning Tao said: "The gods that ape people believe in must look like ape people. They regard humans as their enemies and kill them all. They will definitely not carve the gods they believe in to look like humans."
"Do you think God is like this?"
Ning Tao shook his head: "No, maybe there is no such god at all."
His eyes moved to the right hand of the statue.
The ape-man statue holds something in its right hand, which looks like a scroll and is also carved from blue crystal.
Ning Tao's heart moved and he strode over.
"What did you find?" Bi Mingzhu asked and followed Ning Tao.
Ning Tao said: "Look at what the statue is holding. Do you think it is a scroll or a book?"
Bi Mingzhu glanced at it and was silent for a moment before saying, "I think it looks like the bamboo slips before paper appeared."
Ning Tao was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why he thought of the bamboo slips of the Tianwai Clinic's account book, and then he thought of Chong Er and the Cauldron of Good and Evil.
He walked to the foot of the statue and took a closer look. It was really a bamboo slip, not a book or a scroll.
He then looked elsewhere on the statue, but luckily he didn't see anything that looked like a tripod.
He started with bamboo slips of account books and the Cauldron of Good and Evil. Although he was initially used by the Cauldron of Good and Evil, the Cauldron of Good and Evil and the Tianwai Clinic also made him successful. Many times, the bamboo slips of the account book and the cauldron of good and evil are actually his symbols. If the god whom the ape man believes in holds a bamboo slip and a big cauldron in his hand, he will really be confused.
"Laosong, your reaction is very strange." Bi Mingzhu noticed Ning Tao's psychological changes.
Ning Tao put away his thoughts: "How come the gods that ape people believe in hold bamboo slips in their hands?"
Bi Mingzhu said: "I don't know, maybe the ape-men didn't have paper at first, so they used bamboo slips for a while before using paper."
Ning Tao felt that this explanation was a bit forced, but he couldn't think of any other explanation.
Ning Tao jumped up, lifted his body to a height of tens of meters, and flew directly to the right hand of the statue.
The ape-man's statue of the god was dozens of meters high, and his wrists were thicker than his thighs. He stood firmly on it.
Looking closely at the bamboo slip held in the right hand of the statue, Ning Tao saw the words carved on the blue crystal.
The words carved on the crystal bamboo slips are Chinese characters and are easy to read.
Ning Tao recited silently: "Heaven created all things, but all things are unjust. The universe is endless, and turning back is not the end. I am not me, and I am not you. It is better to go home early if you are looking for something."
These sentences are quite a bit like Buddhist verses.
But the bamboo slips held by the gods that the ape people believe in must also be very famous and important magical objects or sacred objects. Would they be famous for having Buddhist verses engraved on them
these four sentences
It's easy to read and the literal meaning is easy to understand. But Ning Tao was confused after reading it, and he had a strange feeling in his heart - he actually felt that these words similar to Buddhist verses were deliberately left to him by someone, just waiting for him to come here one day. look.
Whoosh!
There was a sound of wind, and there was another person on the wrist of the ape-man statue.
Bi Mingzhu's magic power has also awakened. Although she cannot jump hundreds or thousands of meters like Ning Tao, she can jump dozens of meters without any problem. When she jumped over the city wall before, she could actually jump over it easily, but when Ning Tao put his arms around her waist and wanted to hold her in his arms to jump high, she was too lazy to exert herself. Anyway, Lao Fong is very energetic, and he can still sweat when he exerts more force, which is a good thing for her.
But this time Ning Tao stood on the statue in a daze, and she couldn't help but be curious and wanted to jump up and have a look.
Bi Mingzhu also saw a few words on the blue crystal and read out softly: "Heaven created all things, but all things are unjust... Laosong, what does this mean?"
Ning Tao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know, it feels like... someone is staying here, just waiting for me to take a look."
Bi Mingzhu said in surprise: "Why do you have such a strange feeling?"
Ning Tao shook his head again, but before he could say a word, a cracking sound suddenly came from the crystal wrist under his feet. A second later, the wrist of the ape-man statue suddenly broke, and the huge palm and the blue crystal-carved bamboo slip fell to the ground.
Ning Tao hurriedly put his arms around Bi Mingzhu's waist, took a step in the air, and fell to the ground lightly.
boom!
The huge blue crystal palm shattered to the ground together with the crystal bamboo slip held in the palm.
After all, it is just an ordinary crystal and cannot withstand being dropped.
A piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the temple, and the running footsteps of the temple guards could also be heard.
"Laosong, someone is here, let's leave quickly!" Bi Mingzhu was quite nervous and ashamed.
If she hadn't been curious and jumped on the wrist of the statue, the wrist of the statue would not have been broken, and then there would be no such thing.
"Don't worry, they can't see us." Ning Tao's eyes fell on the ground. Among the blue fragments lying on the ground was a transparent thing, seven or eight inches long, with four edges and a circle at one end. The ring has a slightly jagged tooth shape on one end.
If you look closely this thing looks a bit like a key.
Ning Tao reached out and picked up what seemed to be a key. He held the thing in his hand and reflected the light, and then he discovered that there were densely packed heavenly runes hidden inside.
What is this key
Ning Tao was filled with surprise, but before he could see clearly, a large group of ape-man guards rushed in, dozens of them.
Bi Mingzhu originally wanted to speak, but when she saw those ape-man guards with loaded weapons rushing in, she shut her mouth.
Ning Tao held the key in his hand and put his hand behind his back. Then he touched Bi Mingzhu's arm and motioned for her to follow him.
Bi Mingzhu followed the corridor where Ning Tao walked.
At this moment, a guard officer shouted: "Close all doors and windows!"
Immediately, ape-man guards closed the door, and even the side door of the corridor where Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu came was also closed. Because there were too many broken crystals on the ground, Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu walked slowly, so before they had time to go out, the door was closed by the ape-man guards.
However, Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu were not nervous, let alone afraid. After all, they were born as gods, and these ape-man guards were just ants, and there could be no threat at all.
"Sir, how come the arms of the statue are broken?" said an ape-man guard, his furry face full of surprise and confusion.
The ape-man officer looked at the statue that had lost his right hand, his expression extremely ugly.
"Sir, if this is known by the God Envoy, we..."
"Yes, sir, please think of a solution!"
"Sir, the God Envoy will kill us!"
The ape-man officer scolded: "Why are you panicking? Can panic solve the problem?" His eyes quickly swept across the temple hall, and he suddenly issued an order, "Put on a gas mask immediately!"
A large group of ape guards took off the gas masks hanging from their waists and quickly put them on their heads.
Just from the speed of order issuing and execution, it is not difficult to see that the ape guards guarding the temple are actually a well-trained elite armed force.
Ning Tao was curious. These ape-man guards didn't see him and Bi Mingzhu at all, but they suddenly put on gas masks. Who were these ape-man guards going to poison
"Put poison gas!" The ape-man officer then issued another order.
One by one, the ape guards took off the metal cans containing poisonous gas from their armed bags, pulled out the safety bolts, and threw them in various corners of the hall.
Miserable green smoke emerged from the cans, and in a blink of an eye, the entire hall was filled with poisonous smoke.
Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu were originally invisible, but they became visible as soon as the smoke came over. Although their faces were not revealed, their figures were very obvious.
"There are enemies!"
"Kill them!"
Bang bang bang!
Gunfire rang out.
Purple raindrops hit Ning Taohe. Bi. body, and then bounced to the ground.
Ning Tao sighed: "I didn't want to kill you, why do you have to force me to kill you?"
He was answered with hot bullets.
This is no wonder Laosong.
Ning Tao held Bi Mingzhu in his arms and bumped into the side door when going back and forth.
Boom!
The thick door panel fell apart, and the moment the side door was opened, Ning Tao pushed Bi Mingzhu into the corridor. He did not escape together, but was blocked by bullets fired from the hall.
Several ape guards wearing gas masks rushed forward, charging and shooting wildly.
"Go to hell!" Ning Tao suddenly turned around and punched him.
The blue energy light flashed, the poisonous smoke rolled back, and the bodies of the round guards exploded at that moment...
The battle lasted less than a minute. After that, the gunshots disappeared and the entire temple became silent. Except for the piercing siren, no one spoke or moved.
Ning Tao walked into the corridor, and Bi Mingzhu greeted him: "I can actually fight with you."
Ning Tao smiled and said, "I'll do this rough work. We have to leave here. If that fly hears the gunshots and explosions, he might escape."
"Yes, that fly is very timid. Let's go find it now. I paid a deposit." Bi Mingzhu said.
Ning Tao: "..."
10 groups left the temple.
At the front of the hillside, a large group of giant flies took off from Shenghua Shield City and flew towards the top of the mountain at the fastest speed.
It only took Ning Tao a minute to kill those flies and ape-men, but he had no intention of doing so. He hugged Bi Mingzhu's waist and jumped directly from the cliff on the hillside behind.
