The Strongest Iron Triangle of Tomb Raiders

Chapter 73 Mountain Temple

"Master Chicken, work is done."

"Hehehe..." Nu Qing gave Ming Li a white look, she really took it as a god, right?

The poisonous miasma stretched for several kilometers, covering the entire valley.

Such a large-scale poisonous miasma, it's useless to call it a chicken master.

Damn it, does this unscrupulous master want the life of Master Chicken?

Those who want to eat big stewed roosters with wild mushrooms are so vicious.

"Third brother, fourth brother, otherwise, let's just rush over."

"Second brother, are you sure?"

"Just kidding, fourth brother, what do you think?"

"Maybe there is a secret passage leading directly to it around here, look for it."

Just rush over, what a joke.

Even if a group of people took the universal detoxification pill in advance, the universal detoxification pill could not support them to pass through the poisonous miasma.

The last seven universal detoxification pills had already been taken by Chen Yulou and the others. If he rushed into the poisonous miasma and collapsed rashly, he would not have the universal detoxification pills to detoxify them.

At that time, I can only watch them burp.

I really thought everyone was like Master Ming, invulnerable to all poisons.

Ming carp looked at the surrounding situation. They are now located at the foot of the mountain on the left side of the valley. This place has deviated from the Snake River by a long distance, and is almost in the middle of the three broken insect paths.

"I'm going, what?"

"What's the matter, second brother, I was taken aback."

"There seems to be something in the grass."

"Something?"

Everyone looked in the direction of Chen Yulou's finger, only to see a shrub of flower family trembling next to it.

Ming Li walked up with Ming Hong Dao in hand, and with a move of Whirlwind Slash, he chopped the bushes into the sky.

However, nothing was found.

Partridge Whistle is well-informed, came over and glanced at this flower-like shrub and said, "This is a dancing plant, usually listless, once something passes by them, it will make gestures as if it is dancing.

Dancing grass has the magical ability to move when it hears the sound and sing along with the dance, and it will not cause harm to humans and other animals. "

"Dancing grass, there is such a magical plant?"

Ming Li glanced at the Dancing Grass writhing crazily as if bewitched and sighed, the natural world is really amazing.

"Hey, what is this?"

I saw the dancing grass writhing like a ghost, and half of the big red gourd that was half hidden in the dancing grass was exposed.

After taking a closer look at the Ming carp, I found that the gourd is carved from stone, more than one meter high, smooth throughout, and bright red like fire.

The whole gourd is carved from marble, and the surface is coated with a layer of insect repellent ingredients. After so many years, the stone gourd looks like it has just been completed.

Ming carp jumped over the stone gourd, and used Ming Hong's knife to push away the vines blocking the way, revealing a toad under the mountain wall.

In the feng shui pattern of Xianwang's tomb, there must be an altar, temple and other buildings holding the water dragon's feng shui treasure cave.

Just now, his eyes were attracted by the poisonous miasma in the valley ahead, and he didn't pay much attention to the surrounding situation.

Facing the red gourd, a temple dedicated to the mountain god is built close to the mountain, covered by vines.

The temple is built on the central axis of this mountain peak. It adopts a Qishan-style large wooden structure, with two entrances in front and back. The pillars have also been dilapidated.

Fortunately, this is the hole of the water dragon vein, which can store wind and gather energy, and the general framework of the temple is preserved.

The temple can spend endless years here safely, but also depends on the special wood and structure technology, as well as the special environment in the valley and less rainfall.

Otherwise, after more than 2000 years, even the ruins may not be found.

"Come on, let's go in and see what's going on."

A group of people walked into the temple.

The temple is not very big and is covered with various plants.

What is enshrined in the temple is a black-faced god in a black robe with a expressionless and majestic expression.

The statue had fallen from the altar and was pushed into the corner by vines.

Next to the statue of the mountain god, there are two little ghosts with green faces and fangs, holding a toad in one hand and a red gourd in the other.

The toads and gourds are miniature versions of the stone toads and gourds at the entrance of the temple.

So the toads and gourds at the door belong to this mountain god.

Could it be that the mountain god raised toads for the current food and drink?

Chen Yulou glanced at the dilapidated mountain temple and said, "The mountain god is supposed to protect one side and is worshiped by incense, but now it is such a deserted scene. Even the mountain god has a difficult time, let alone the common people. It's sad. .”

Such a scene made Chen Yulou unavoidably think of today's troubled times, where the people are in dire straits, the people are starved of food, displaced and homeless.

In this day and age, even the mountain gods who are worshiped by the world are in trouble, and the lives of the people can be imagined.

He has seen with his own eyes how miserable life is for the people today.

Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer.

"Second brother, what are you thinking?" Ming Li patted Chen Yulou on the shoulder.

I don't know what Chen Yulou was thinking just now, but he didn't answer after calling him several times.

It made him think that there might be some dirty things in this ruined temple, which would hook Chen Yulou's soul away.

"It's nothing, come fourth brother, help me, let's lift the mountain statue back to its original position."

"Come."

Chen Yulou tore off the vines wrapped around the statue of the mountain god, and cleaned up the statue of the mountain god.

Then Ming Li and Chen Yulou worked together to lift the mountain god statue to the altar and put it back to its original position.

"God of the mountain, meeting is fate, I didn't bring any good things when I went out, so eat a piece of cake."

Chen Yulou tore a piece of cake and put it in front of the mountain god statue. He didn't know how long the mountain temple had been abandoned, and how long the mountain god hadn't enjoyed the incense in the world.

It's a pity that I didn't bring incense paper when I went out here, otherwise I must burn it for the mountain god.

Now the conditions are limited, so I can only invite the mountain god to eat cold and hard pancakes and drink a glass of boiled water.

"God of the mountain, bless me for this trip to be smooth, everything will be fine, and I will be prosperous in the future. I will definitely come to add incense to your old man and build a golden body."

"I said second brother, forget it." Ming Li raised Ti Minghong Dao "Master Ming, I don't believe in this thing, I just trust the sword in my hand.

If this mountain god is really alive, why can't he even bless himself, let's go, go to the back and have a look. "

Seeing Chen Yulou pretending to pray for the blessing of the mountain god, Ming Li curled his lips and walked towards the back of the mountain temple with Ming Hong Dao in hand.

The apse of the temple is different from the front hall. The entire apse has been completely embedded in the mountain, which is narrower than the front hall.

There is a green stone screen in the back hall, on which there is a portrait of the mountain god, whose figure is similar to the black-faced god in the main hall.

At the end of the temple, there are nine huge stone statues of toads lined up, corresponding to the number of loops.

The toad's mouth opens and closes, and the orientations are also different.

Ming Li couldn't help laughing, "I finally found it."

"Fourth brother, what did you find?" Chen Yulou, Partridge Whistle and the others were puzzled and at a loss.

"Second brother, third brother, come and help."

Ming Li asked Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle to help, and opened and closed the mouths of the toads from left to right according to the number of nine loops, and arranged the toads in the corresponding order.

"Hua Maguai."

"Master Ming, tell me."

"Go and see what's going on outside."

"okay."

Hua Maguai ran out of the temple with a confused face, only to see that the huge red stone gourd in front of the temple had split in two at some point, and a stone door was exposed underneath.
