Chapter 60 – The Altar

The top of the three-dimensional palace is a square altar, which is extremely neatly built. The ground is made up of blue striped stone slabs, which are staggered and interlaced to form a certain pattern.If you can rise to the sky and look down at this time, you can easily see the shape of the texture. Starting from the very center, the ground of the entire altar is divided into four identical equilateral triangles.The four sides of the altar corresponded to a staircase extending downwards. Not long ago, Huo Lian and the others went up the stairs in the north.

Probably thought of something suddenly, Huo Lian subconsciously looked at the stairs on the east side, only to find that half of it had collapsed and could no longer be passed through.This also explains why Weixi can only look longingly at the high wall facing east from the Youlian Pond. If the stairs can still be walked, no matter what kind of flame tail flower or emperor's flower, she can pick whatever she wants without using it. She wept sadly because of the one or two safflowers that floated over.

However, Huo Lian only glanced to the east and then withdrew his gaze. His intuition told him that it would be better not to intervene in all kinds of things about Weixi.Moreover, the altar itself has already occupied all his attention.

Huo Lian could describe the scene near Shinto as "shocking", but standing here, he didn't know how to describe his feelings.

Standing at the highest point, I am even more sure that this is an incomparably huge project. No matter what the purpose is, the builder actually completely flattened the top of the mountain to create such an altar. imagine.

Each side of the square altar is about 200 meters long. There are no tools, and Huo Lian doesn't know how different the value he estimated is from the actual value, but he is absolutely right about one thing. The field is even bigger when added together.

However, there are not many things on the altar, except for an altar in the middle, there are statues at the four corners.The high place is prone to wind, and the airflow is tumbling, whizzing past the ground, blowing the sleeves made of fire and dancing.There was no problem with the wind, as it passed by, it took away all the heat from the body.

Before this, Huo Lian had never imagined that one day when he stood in such a place where he could touch the blue sky with his hand raised, his mood would be like this——

air.

Yes, even the minimum shock was gone, his heart seemed to be drained of the last drop of blood, nothing remained, it was empty.

Huo Lian even had an illusion that if he stood like this for a while, he would probably forget his own existence.

Someone posted it, and the familiarity with him has become a habit of fire.Temperature, smell, and even touch, from which details did Huo Lian identify Bai Xinyue? It seems meaningless to delve deeper into this issue. In short, the result is the same. He easily recognized the other party, completely refusing to judge rationally , everything depends on feeling.

Huo Lian's back was pressed against Bai Xinyue's chest, which was not close to the point of intimacy, but Huo Lian seemed not to be satisfied, and shrank back again, and now the distance between the two really became tighter.

The previous sense of nothingness suddenly dissipated a lot.Bai Xinyue's body temperature passed through the cloth, giving Huo Lian a feeling of being alive.He was finally sure that he was indeed standing here, not just a wisp of ethereal air.

To use others to prove his existence, Huo Lian is not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.Still, at least for the time being, it's pretty good, isn't it?

Huo Lian's rare obedience in a century really surprised Bai Xinyue, no matter how much she wanted to hurt him, she couldn't bear it anymore.Bai Xinyue raised her arms and wrapped him in her arms.Bai Xinyue's strength is just right, it will only make Huo Lian more comfortable to rely on, but it won't make him feel imprisoned.

The uneasiness that lingered around the two of them before came inexplicably and disappeared without a trace when it went.Bai Xinyue felt that the atmosphere had eased a lot, so she said, "It's hard to come here, don't you want to look around?" It was a reasonable suggestion, but Bai Xinyue didn't mention Huo Lian's weird attitude just now.

Huo Lian barely regained his senses, shook his head, at least he broke free from the trance. "By the way, we should look around, what the hell kind of place is this?"

He said he was looking around, but Huo Lian still subconsciously put the altar in the middle at the last stop of the itinerary, always thinking that it was not a good place, and it would be best to drag it back.Since you don't look at the altar, in this clear place, only the statues with four corners are left.

Along the way, I saw many statues, but none of them were alive.Huolian doesn't know how many clansmen lived here a long time ago, but now, the flesh and blood are finally wiped out, and only lifeless statues remain here. I don't know whether they are proving the past or remembering the past.

Huo Lian chose a random direction and headed towards the northwest corner.

I didn't feel it when I was far away, but when I got closer, I realized that the statue was as tall as three people, and it was no longer the full-length sculpture.Even the material is no longer exclusively rock.

It was too close, and Huo Lian raised his head with great effort to see the whole picture of the statue—a woman, more precisely, a female monster.

If only talking about the brightness of the face, this stone sculpture is far inferior to Huolian.Huo Lian's appearance is flamboyant and flamboyant, even a bit aggressive, but this guy doesn't seem to have the slightest awareness of what he looks like, it's fine if he doesn't open his mouth, once he starts talking, it's really a waste of time An unpredictable face.

However, the beauty of the Banshee Beast belongs to another kind, reserved and dignified, her brows seem to be dyed with a thin layer of sorrow, people just take a look at her, and feel a little distressed for her.She lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes, even if she looked up from directly below, she couldn't see her pupils, but the more she couldn't see clearly, the more she wanted to see her. She couldn't help guessing what kind of pupils she needed to match her appearance.

The whole statue uses different materials to represent different parts. The body of the banshee beast should be made of some kind of jade with a warm texture, and the smooth and delicate skin-skin is almost unreal.The clothes on her body seemed to be made of some kind of glass, and every fold of the clothes was expressed with extremely precise techniques, as if it would fly in the next moment.And her slender hands and bare feet exposed to the outside are covered with a layer of fine dark blue scales, which are shaped like some kind of fish scales. This feature also fully proves that this person is definitely not human.

The connection between the scales and the skin is natural, not only does it not make people feel ugly, but on the contrary, it adds a mysterious charm to this woman.

If it is necessary to say what is the most eye-catching thing on the whole statue, it is still the utensil held by her hands, a piece of blue jade, showing an oblate shape.Sunlight penetrates the jade bi, and the light refracted is like a stream of clear water. It is conceivable that the jade bi itself is so smooth and delicate to an incredible degree.

If it’s just a mural, it’s fine, you can use different mineral pigments to express different colors, but the statue in front of you is a three-person tall statue. If this kind of craftsmanship is placed in human society, I’m afraid everyone will be shocked by it , amazing.There is no relic more worthy of the title of "miracle" than these four statues.

Thinking back to the other statues he had seen along the way, Huo Lian couldn't help but think of a slang phrase in the market - comparing people, you die, comparing goods, you have to throw them away.Sure enough, he was shocked by the stone statues on both sides of the Shinto before, but now after comparing with his own eyes, he feels that everything he has seen before can only be regarded as rubbish.

There is another point that confuses Huo Lian, he always feels that he seems to have seen similar statues somewhere else.This face gave him a sense of long and vague familiarity.

Bai Xinyue said suddenly, "What she is holding in her hand should be Cangbi, one of the sacrificial vessels."

"Cang Bi?" Huo Lian parrot repeated it like a parrot, and then glanced at Bai Xinyue with dissatisfaction—what's wrong with being knowledgeable?Is it great to be knowledgeable?You show your knowledge and talents at this time, is it to set off my ignorance?

"It's not surprising that you don't know these things. After all, it's a unique sacrificial ceremony for monsters. After a long time, it has been regarded as a heresy. Let alone human beings, most monsters today don't know these things. I just watched it accidentally. I guessed it after reading an old fragmented scroll, and the picture on it was very similar to this jade bibill."

After hearing Bai Xinyue's explanation, Huo Lian's mood immediately improved a lot, and the conversation seemed to be able to proceed happily again.But neither of the two of them seemed to realize that Huo Lian's complaint just now hadn't really been uttered. Could it be that Bai Xinyue had already learned mind reading skills without a teacher?

"This is Cang Bi, what are the other three corner sculptures holding?" Since most people don't know this, Huo Lian immediately put on a studious attitude and asked without shame.

"According to the records in the ancient scrolls, Cang Bi offered sacrifices to water, and the rest should be the knife-shaped Chizhang, the square Huang Cong, and the semicircular Xuanhuang, which in the world of monsters and beasts respectively represent offering sacrifices to the sky, land, and void. The concept of these sacrifices is completely different from that of human beings, whether it is true or not, we can only confirm it by seeing it with our own eyes."

Huo Lian began to understand somewhat why he had to come to Paradise Island to find the history of the four great families of monsters.But when some clues gradually matched the facts he knew, he became even more disturbed.There is a saying that seems to be called being close to the hometown, and he doesn't know if he is in this weird contradiction.

Huo Lian patted his head lightly to refresh himself.Bai Xinyue's saying is right, he climbed to this place with great difficulty, all the twists and turns he went through just thinking about it makes him feel exhausted, if he doesn't look around clearly, he will feel sorry for his hard work.

Bai Xinyue didn't expect that Huo Lian would "mutilate himself", and before he could stop him, he slapped her head. I don't know if it was serious or not, but don't be stupid.

"Let's go." Huo Lian took Bai Xinyue's hand naturally, and walked slowly towards the southeast corner with an attitude similar to that of a tourist.

As expected, as Bai Xinyue described, the sculpture in the southeast corner is still the elegant and beautiful female monster, but her shape and posture are slightly different from the previous one. What she holds in her hand looks like a square bottle. Huang Cong.

After verifying two of the statues, Huo Lian was suddenly too lazy to continue walking. Since Bai Xinyue had already obtained a 50.00% correct rate, with the rigor of the man with glasses, he knew that the remaining 50.00% must belong to him without asking.Moreover, the area of ​​the altar was quite large, and it was a bit tiring to walk from one corner to another. Huo Lian really didn't want to go around the arena foolishly.

And there is another vague reason for Huo Lian to resist going forward—according to the direction of progress, the next one to go should be the northeast corner, and what he will see will be Chizhang who worships the sky.Huo Lian panicked for no reason, thinking it was just a sacrificial vessel, so he didn't mind looking at it.

Another point is that the southeast corner of the statue is not empty, there is a person and a cat standing, it is Zhuang Jin and Ludia who separated from Bai Xinyue just now.

There is nothing wrong with Ludia's condition. After a long journey, it is really exhausting for a cat, and it may be that he is a little impatient waiting for someone to wait. He is lying at the foot of the statue and taking a nap.Maybe it's because all the cats in the world love to sleep, but Ludia doesn't care how weird this place is, she's in a very relaxed state, and she can't find a trace of vigilance all over her body.

It was also because the statue used an exaggerated technique. If it was only the same size as the body, the Persian cat that was about to fall asleep would almost blend into the statue, just like a pet kept by this banshee beast.

But in any case, Ludia's behavior is very in line with the cat's nature.To say that the one who runs counter to his character should still be Zhuang Jin.

The rotating president of the Demon Committee stood upright three steps away from the statue, looking up at the face of the statue, he was motionless, as if all the joints in his body had lost their flexibility and could only maintain such a stiff state In comparison, he seems to be more like a statue of nothing than the banshee in front of him.Seeing this, Bai Xinyue couldn't help frowning, and began to wonder if Zhuang Jin had been in this weird state since they separated.

What Huo Lian paid attention to was Zhuang Jin's expression. A word kept popping up in his mind. Although Huo Lian himself thought it was ridiculous to use this word to describe Zhuang Jin's expression, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was just like this. The matter——Zhuang Jin's expression clearly showed deep-seated...repentance.

"You can't keep looking at it like this!" Bai Xinyue was the first to react.

They are all too careless, this is the altar where the monsters used to worship, no matter what the "gods" that the monsters worship are, they should not be able to be parried by small human beings.There is nothing else on the altar, but these four statues are so eye-catching. If there is any mechanism, it will only be set on it.Although there was nothing unusual in staring at the statue before Huo Lian, it was only because he was a monster, but Zhuang Jin was human.

Shocked, Bai Xinyue was about to reach out to pull Zhuang Jin, but his hand was still half an arm away from the opponent, but Zhuang Jin, who was in a daze, suddenly waved Bai Xinyue away, almost crazy.
