The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 1263: Weird temple

Views:

That's right, in fact, after Hao Ren carefully observed the man-made ruins floating in nothingness, he also thought of the towering ancient temples in Corpus' space, but he didn't dare to say this in conclusion.

Because the remnants of the buildings in front of me are only somewhat similar in style to the temples of Corpus, but in detail, the two are obviously very different: the temples of Corpus are built with mysterious substances beyond human understanding. As a result, those divine products blessed by the Goddess of Creation do not belong to any known substance in the world, and this palace in space is obviously built with huge stones, and the patterns inlaid on it are also the scanning device of the Giant Turtle Rock. In addition to the ordinary materials analyzed, the regulations of the two temples are not exactly the same. The ratio of the four minarets to the central building, the shape of the minarets, and the styles of some building accessories can be seen to be different.

But in any case, their general stylistic consistency is obvious, and there is no doubt about it: the man-made structure in front of it is connected with the temple of the goddess of creation.

"Things are a bit interesting..." Hao Ren asked Nolan to release more probes to carefully scan this large-scale building, while rubbing his chin and said, "The style of the goddess of creation... Well, this place is indeed very beautiful. There may be traces of the goddess of creation, but the thing in front of me is obviously a mortal artifact, which is a bit interesting."

Lily scratched her hair: "What do you mean? Can't humans build temples?"

Hao Ren glanced at the husky girl: "At least so far, all mortal races who once believed in the goddess of creation don't know what the temple on the founding star looks like, and they can't restore this 'painting style'. Holletta Goddess temples, ancient temples in the Tanagus database, man-made temples in Zhuomu's memory... They are all created by each race based on their own understanding and imagination of the goddess, because no mortal race has really seen The scene on the founding star. But this... Although the style is a little bit off, it is already considered a high-quality imitation."

Hao Ren's words were quickly echoed by Muru, and the guardian giant said in the communicator: "Our mother is not keen on establishing a religion, so the goddess beliefs of various mortal races are actually produced under the influence of blood memory. Acting spontaneously, the temples they built were all kinds of strange things, and the image description of the goddess was also unconstrained. The people who really had the opportunity to reach the founding star and admire the divine light accounted for a very, very small share of all the "second sons"—even if there were, They must also have developed to a fairly advanced level, and they will no longer use stones to build temples."

"Maybe it's their culture?" Hao Ren raised his eyebrows. "Some quite advanced races still insist on building houses with earth and rocks, which is their tradition."

Muru shook his head: "I don't have such a group in my memory."

"That's either a coincidence," Lilit nodded earnestly, "Maybe they were born with aesthetics very close to the goddess of creation, and when they built the house, they happened to be the same as those on the founding star."

Vivian glanced at Lily: "Do you know how low the probability is?"

Lily: "..."

"It's not necessarily enough to count all the hairs on your tail to decimal places."

"Bat, how dare you insult my tail! I'm going to duel with you after you finish cooking!"

"Could you two be quiet?" Hao Ren glanced at the two friends, then turned to Nolan, "I'm going to teleport the projection, I want to go there and see for myself."

Before the ship's wife could say anything, Lily jumped up with her hands up: "I'll go together, I'll go together!"

Hao Ren rolled his eyes. He wasn't surprised by this situation at all. In fact, when he decided to go in person, he was ready to bring the dog girl: under any circumstances, you can't force a husky to go for a drive. desire...

"The others don't need to follow," Hao Ren looked around. "The probe has already scanned the structure of the building. The space inside is not large, and there is no dangerous energy reaction. Lily and I will go and have a look. If If there is a situation, I will send you a signal."

Vivian actually wanted to follow, but she was not a headstrong girl, so after hearing Hao Ren's arrangement, she just nodded: "Be careful. Besides, Big Dog, protect the landlord."

Lily waved her hands and tail carelessly: "Don't worry, don't worry, the landlord is stronger than me now, he will definitely protect me."

Everyone: "..."

"At least give play to your role as a loyal dog," Vivian sighed helplessly, "At least you could help look after the home before, why is it so useless now..."

However, at this moment Lily could no longer hear Vivienne's thoughts behind her: the husky girl with super mobility followed behind Hao Ren, and at this moment she had come to the teleportation preparation room near the bridge.

The next moment, she and Hao Ren were directly sent to the floating temple by the space projection device.

After getting closer, Hao Ren realized even more that this seemingly dilapidated stone building actually has a rather grand scale and astonishingly exquisite level.

Although it was built of primitive stone and could not be compared with the real abodes of the gods in Corpus, this temple built by mortals is still imposing, and the exquisite reliefs and mosaics on the facade of the building reflect the craftsmen. The tall and magnificent main body of the building shows the hard work and painstaking efforts of the builders. Just looking at such a ruin, Hao Ren can imagine that the people who built this thing in the past must have completed it with great pride and a sense of responsibility. of this great project.

But besides sighing, he also felt a kind of weirdness.

Because such a man-made building is floating alone in the vast space, its style looks like a religious temple in the middle ages, but now it is bathed in starlight in the universe, and around it, the span reaches 10,000. Light-year vacuum of matter.

Such a temple floating in the void can't help but feel weird.

After Hao Ren and Lili adjusted from the brief sense of dislocation, they searched for a way to enter this strange building according to the guidance information sent by the scanning probe, and they soon saw the entrance where Probe No. 1 entered. :

There is a long and narrow opening on the front of the main body of the building, which leads to the interior.

"It looks like it should be a window," Hao Ren said casually when passing through the opening. "The lower half of the building is gone, and the official gate must be in the lower half."

Lily flickered beside Hao Ren, her eyes full of curiosity: "Landlord, how many years did you say this thing has been floating around here?"

"God knows, I haven't measured it yet, but I guess it's another 10,000 years," Hao Ren shrugged. "Anyway, these old antiques in the Dream Plane basically became 'relics' 10,000 years ago."

The interior of the temple is naturally pitch black, and the lonely starlight from the distant space is too weak here, and the vacuum environment in the temple makes it impossible to diffuse the light here, but a small bright spot flies past Hao Ren's eyes, and quickly It became brighter, and the soft halo spread to the surroundings, instantly making this place as bright as day.

That's the probe that flew into the building earlier, and this little thing has a photon generator, which makes for a decent light source in this case.

Hao Ren grabbed Lily and floated forward.

The interior of the main building is an open and large space without complicated walls and corridors, so it can be seen clearly at a glance. Hao Ren saw that there are four stone bridges extending from the surrounding walls in this magnificent hall. , The stone bridge is connected to a large round platform in the center, and the round platform hangs in the mid-air of the hall like this. On it, you can also see religious objects such as small columns, pulpits, and stone statues. And above this suspended round platform, the dome of the palace is open, and the huge round skylight is covered with complex hollow patterns, behind the hollow, the distant stars are faintly visible.

When the building was still on the surface, every time a religious leader preached on the round platform, he must have been bathed in holy light.

"There must have been a lot of people visiting here." Lily also saw the round platform. As a literary dog, the sense of picture she could associate with it may be much stronger than that of Hao Ren. "This round platform is for the preachers, believers Just listening to the lecture in the hall below, I guess the skylight of this thing must have been designed to keep out the rain, otherwise the bishop would be stupid when it rains... "

That's right, Literary Dog's visual imagination is indeed much higher than that of Hao Ren.

Hao Ren floated towards the round platform. On the way, he glanced down and saw a thick darkness below. The building was neatly cut off by that layer of darkness, as if swallowed by something.

Immediately, he was attracted by the darkness.

The building was cut off at the middle, and the middle should be connected up and down. If you lower your head, you should see the starlight on the opposite side. How could there be such an abnormal black shadow? !

He immediately pulled Lily's tail: "Let's go down and have a look."

"Oh." (to be continued~^~)
