Under Ji Yu's persuasion, Han Chenmian simplified his backpack and got out of the car.

Three people and one dog had to go there on foot, and Sura gave more detailed directions on the map, but there was a lack of landmarks in this wasteland, and it took a lot of effort to find them.

Lu Huaiguang's journey was like turning on his autistic mode. Except for Ji Yu who took the initiative to talk to him, he basically ignored everyone.

Han Chenmian didn't seem to care much, or in the eyes of most insiders, the autistic Lu Huaiguang was normal.

Although Ji Yu cared, he couldn't openly ask questions in front of the camera, so he had to pretend he didn't notice, and went to explore the way.

"There's a temple in front of here. I'll take a look first. Sura said that the oracle of the Temple of the Goddess of Death is outside the temple. It should be easy to recognize."

He had just walked a few meters away when Su Mi suddenly caught up and barked at him.

Ji Yu stopped in a daze, looked at his destination, then looked at Su Mi, and muttered: "It's so fierce... I went wrong? Didn't it mean that Su Mi didn't know the way? Su La lied I?"

Seeing that he was standing still, Su Mi pushed his head against him and walked back, dragging and dragging him back to the team.

Lu Huaiguang looked at Su Mi with a strange expression.

Ji Yu suddenly realized: "Is it treating us like sheep?"

Han Chenmian was a little confused: "What are you herding sheep?"

Ji Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Sumi is a border collie. He usually helps Sura herd sheep. As long as there are sheep who want to leave the flock, it will drive them back like just now..."

Han Chenmian also laughed: "Haha, it seems that we can only act together, let's go and have a look together."

Ji Yu took a special look at Lu Huaiguang, and asked him, "Brother, do you think Su Mi is a bit obsessive-compulsive?"

Lu Huaiguang glanced back at him: "Yes."

What a strange and brief indifference response.

He is so uncooperative, Ji Yu has nothing to do with him.

The three went to see the nearby temple, and Sumi followed them with a flick of his tail, as if he was very satisfied with them lining up to act like this, and the team he led must move in full!

The search for the Goddess of Death went smoothly. The three of them checked the locations of about three temples and found the purpose of their trip. Ji Yu was slightly relieved.

In any case, the guest's request was satisfied!

Han Chenmian took a photo of the "Oracle" at the door, and he couldn't wait to send it to the scholars he knew.He looked at the two of them a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, you may feel bored..."

"Just explain it to us." Ji Yu smiled and waved his hands, he cleared his throat and suddenly said in the voice of the broadcaster, "Welcome everyone to watch our program "Into the Temple", why is the Goddess of Life missing? , What exactly is the curse of the goddess of death for... Thousands of years ago, the secret of the temple, was it the distortion of human nature or the loss of morality?"

Han Chenmian laughed: "Maybe we can really solve these secrets, he replied!"

It seems that it is not easy to confirm the text of the Vaal civilization, and scholars can only tell them the general meaning. Han Chenmian directly clicked on the video call.

Han Chenmian introduced Professor Wu to them, but the professor didn't seem to care about being on TV or seeing celebrities. He stared at the stone tablet with the oracle written on it, and pushed his glasses excitedly. .

"The narrative method of this oracle is very different from other temples, and the content is also very different. The temple buildings of Vaal civilization are all built by priests after listening to the oracle, and the oracle that records life is also They are all from the dictation of the priest. The style of this oracle is too different, we can speculate that it is not from the hands of the priest. purpose forged."

Ji Yu was aroused by him: "Is it possible that they are the descendants of priests? Is it normal that different priests have different writing styles?"

Professor Wu is also very happy that someone is willing to discuss this with him: "No, they think that the way of speaking of the immortal gods should never change, so the priests at that time would deliberately The writing method of the oracle is stipulated and passed down from generation to generation. This is not difficult to see from the oracle style of other temples. We visited the descendants of the priest, and he confirmed our conjecture.”

Ji Yu thought to himself that the so-called descendants of priests would be elders, right?

Han Chenmian urged him: "Then what exactly does this mean?"

Professor Wu: "It probably means that the goddess of this temple is different from other gods. She is in charge of death, loneliness and eternal life. She can see the trajectory of life from the shadow of everyone. If you are interested in entering the gods The temple does not respect death, she will take away your shadow, that is, your soul. This is also where it is different from other oracles, it does not write about the deeds of the gods, but it seems to be some kind of threat.”

Ji Yu looked at the shadow under his feet, and couldn't help rubbing the goosebumps on his hands: "If it's fake, what is it for?"

Professor Wu pushed his glasses: "Then you will only know when you go in."

Han Chenmian was the first to walk into the temple, while Ji Yu stood there without moving, with a troubled expression on his face.

Lu Huaiguang finally took the initiative to speak, looked at him and asked, "Brother?"

Ji Yu sighed helplessly: "Wait for me to brew some respect, brother, follow me and see if something strange will emerge from my shadow."

Lu Huaiguang looked down at his shadow, and stepped on it directly: "It's okay, I will step on it for you, and if something comes out, I will step on him back."

Ji Yu laughed, suddenly feeling very at ease, but then remembered another saying: "Did you ever hear that saying when you were a child... that is, people whose shadows are stepped on will wet the bed at night."

Lu Huaiguang looked very dazed: "Brother, when you were young... you were quite legendary."

Ji Yu laughed: "Hey, it's just all kinds of sayings to lie to children, and you haven't heard of them? Then let me tell you one more thing, children who are inexplicably awkward will hiccup."

He made it up casually, in fact, it was a cryptic reminder to Lu Huaiguang not to be awkward.

Lu Huaiguang pursed his lips, and silently stepped out from Ji Yu's shadow.

Han Chenmian stood in the center of the temple, holding up his mobile phone to let Professor Wu observe the environment of the temple.

After a long time, the temple of the Goddess of Death has been dilapidated, and there is even a hole in the roof, through which the hot morning sun shines in from the wasteland, but even so, Ji Yu still feels that the place is eerie.

At that time, there seemed to be no brilliant dyeing techniques. The color tone of the entire temple depended on the color of the building materials. The ground, roof, and weighing stone pillars all showed a yellowish sandstone color, but the statue of the goddess of death was black.

The goddess of death is similar to a human figure, but her eyes are carved very large, which looks a bit abrupt and weird.She stands in the shape of a "ten" on the altar, holding a sickle in her left hand and a stone cone in her right hand. She has no feet, and her lower body looks more like a liquid, with eyes carved all over it.

Professor Wu couldn't help admiring: "It is said that the goddess of death can see everything from the shadow. Her stone awl can nail the shadow of a person, and the sickle in her left hand can cut the shadow to harvest the soul. This may be the most exquisite bronze statue at that time. Can you take a closer look?"

Han Chenmian continued to go deeper, too impatient to take care of the two people behind him.Ji Yu watched Lu Huaiguang suddenly take a step forward, and stomped on Han Chenmian's shadow expressionlessly.

Ji Yu opened his mouth wide, and couldn't believe his eyes: "Teacher Lu?"

"What's wrong?" Lu Huaiguang didn't seem to have the slightest guilty conscience, and Ji Yu couldn't help but wonder if he was wrong.

However, they walked forward side by side, and at an angle that the camera couldn't capture, Lu Huaiguang whispered: "Shh-brother, don't tell him."

Ji Yu: "..."

He asked in a low voice, "Teacher Lu, what are you doing?"

Lu Huaiguang glanced at him: "Brother, are you reluctant?"

Ji Yu was even more confused.

Han Chenmian was already standing in front of the Goddess of Death. Professor Wu was talking, but he looked around, as if looking for something else: "Professor, have you seen anything related to the Goddess of Life?"

Professor Wu was stunned for a moment: "It hasn't happened so far. Even if there is, it shouldn't be so obvious. Look for all kinds of hidden places."

The two also helped to find it.

It's just that although the temple is large, the layout is clear at a glance, and there are not many places to hide things.Ji Yu found nothing, he just turned around and saw Lu Huaiguang standing beside the goddess of death, stepping on the altar.

Ji Yu: "Hey, brother—"

Lu Huaiguang turned his head: "Brother, there seems to be a statue behind her."

Han Chenmian rushed forward in one step. Behind the pitch-black statue of the goddess of death, there was a smaller white statue.The statue looks gentle with eyes closed, arms around itself, a wreath on its head, fruits hanging on its hands, and leaves wrapped around its skirt, it looks like it is alive.

Han Chenmian held his breath, his voice trembling: "I found it, she is the goddess of life!"

Han Chenmian hurriedly took out the drawing board, and handed the mobile phone to Lu Huaiguang: "Please take Professor Wu around, I, I will start drawing first."

Lu Huaiguang and Professor Wu in the video stared wide-eyed, and Professor Wu took the lead to break the silence: "Can I see the statue of the Goddess of Life again?"

Lu Huaiguang raised his mobile phone, and he was also looking at the white god hidden behind the darkness.

Ji Yu also stood up and took a deep breath: "Is this the meaning of the coexistence of death and life? Is this how the temple was built from the beginning?"

Professor Wu shook his head: "No, according to the mythology system of Vaal civilization, the two goddesses of death and life are in a hostile relationship. Life is one of the earliest basic gods in this system, while death is a dreaded evil god. In mythology, death steals the power that life gives to human beings by harvesting shadows. For this reason, life cut off both feet. You can see that the lower body of her statue is similar to the texture of shadows..."

"There is no conclusive evidence for the myth system, but we can also make some speculations based on the major events that happened here at the beginning."
