God's Descend

These days, Jiang Yunan always felt that someone was following him like a shadow, but whenever he looked, there was no one there.

Anubis still didn't want to say anything, but Huaxia's meat dishes made him very satisfied, and he stopped fussing in the isolation room to let him go.Many female employees like this "big dog" very much, and often go to feed him during the noon break.

There are still many bad things.

Recently, in order to build a high-end villa area in Shandong, a certain city specially invited experts from the capital to come and see Fengshui.Mr. Feng Shui's surname is Wen, and even Jiang Yunan has heard of it a little bit, so he is indeed a man of real ability.

It is said that Mr. Wen walked a few places, and pondered for a long time according to the local mountains and water flow trends, and his expression became more and more surprised.

The environment on the outskirts of the city is relatively backward and belongs to the county seat.There is a "Goddess Temple" on the back of the mountain, I don't know when it was handed down, but the statues inside are quite old.

But this is really a small and unknown temple. It is estimated that it was built by the locals themselves, and few people worship it.The mud statues are painted red, green and green with paint or colored ink, and the wall next to it is also graffitied with chalk by children, giving it a cheap and informal look.

In such a big city, the small temple is located on the land of geomantic omen, without deviation of an inch.The old man looked at the surrounding environment, and he didn't know whether those trees were planned artificially, or whether they were born with this layout, and they vaguely looked like a formation.

The escort from the real estate company asked him what position he was in, Mr. Wen stroked his beard, shook his head and said he didn't know.

The man laughed: "Even you don't know what kind of formation, you're just fooling people. There are too many coincidences in the world!" There are not many houses in this area, and it is not far from the city center, so it was ready to be settled immediately. here.

Many people came to see the excitement, and the local old people objected loudly, saying that the temple was handed down from their ancestors and should not be moved.

But who knows that the temple is indeed not registered, it is a "self-built house".The real estate side took over the surrounding area at a very low price, and started construction within a few days. They tried their best to push down the "Goddess Temple". Got a stagger.

——The temple was restored intact again!

The skin of the goddess statue inside was painted pale, and the paint was cracked and mottled, revealing the yellow-brown soil underneath.The lips were not evenly painted, and a stroke of bright red came out, almost reaching the chin, like a meandering blood.

"She" just stared straight at the people outside.That man already had ghosts in his heart, he was tired of living in this dilapidated house, and the real estate company signed a demolition compensation agreement with them, the price in it was enough for him to buy a [-]-square-meter house in a nearby community to live in.He was tempted for a moment, and despite the dissuasion of the old people, he persuaded everyone to sign the contract of dismantling together with several other young people who lived here.

As for the Goddess Temple for generations, he always thought it was a trick to deceive people... But this one is really too evil.His scalp was numb from being stared at by the idol, and his pants became incontinent when they became hot.

The demolition team thought that someone had built it up overnight and then knocked it down again.This time it was more thorough, and all the gravel was transported away, leaving only a messy open space.

However, the next day, they discovered that the temple had reappeared.

The real estate industry actually believed in ghosts, gods and Fengshui, so he immediately contacted Mr. Wen from Beijing.Mr. Wen had some friendship with the bureau, so he told the story, and the special department decided to send two people to go with him.Both the Demon Eliminator and the old Taoist priest refused to be controlled by others, so they immediately shirked it, and this matter fell on Jiang Yunan and He Gu.

In addition to the driver, only Mr. Wen and the two of them were in the car.Mr. Wen didn't talk much, perhaps because he wasn't used to dealing with young people, he only briefly explained the situation, and then squinted his eyes for a nap.

Around Shanxi Goddess Temple.

In the past few days, the construction team did not dare to touch the evil temple again. In order not to delay the construction period, construction has already started on a large area next to it.Unexpectedly, they dug up something incredible.

It is said that the mausoleum is not large enough, but it is much more solemn than ordinary tombs.There are two coffins in the center of the tomb group, and the burial objects around are mainly weapons, stone and bone products, as well as weird animal statues and pottery with witch patterns.

However, after digging deeper, it revealed something even more scalp-numbingly buried.

It was a large pile of curled up mummies, roughly two or three hundred.Their hands were bound behind their backs—maybe with rope or tendon, but that too had rotted away over the years.Countless mummies were lying on their sides, facing the same direction, that is, the two coffins in the center, which looked like they were performing strange sacrifices.

When Mr. Wen arrived with them, they were using a crane to transport the coffins in the deep pit out.

The weather was hot and dry, He Gu took a sip of water and put the hat on Jiang Yunan's head, but he noticed from the corner of his eye that his complexion was not very good.

"What's wrong?" He lowered his voice and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Jiang Yunan stared at the two coffins with half-closed eyes, and shook his head for a while: "I don't know, I just think..." For some reason, he subconsciously resisted this place, but he couldn't explain why.

Mr. Wen was talking about something with them there, and he didn't seem to be particularly useful to them.It might take a while for the coffin to come up, so the two of them simply went to the side to see the buried objects.

Jiang Yunan probably knew the most about this aspect.He quickly concluded: "It should be a primitive tribe in the Neolithic Age, at least 5000 years ago. The specific age needs to be tested."

The person in charge over there thought he was Mr. Wen's assistant, but was a little surprised when he saw him speak: "...you are?"

"Jiang Yunan, a mythologist. On behalf of the special department of the National Security Bureau to assist in this work."

The man shook hands with him and said a few words of courtesy, "You are a researcher of mythology, the matter of the Goddess Temple..."

Jiang Yunan smiled: "That must be a recorded god. Mr. Wen is an expert in metaphysics."

When the person in charge heard that they were the ones sent this time, he had nothing to hide. After looking around for a while, no one was there, and suddenly sighed: "...Let me tell you the truth, this may really be true. A god on record. At the beginning, an old man said that the old man was a famous fool here, talking crazy and talking nonsense, so we didn't believe it... Guess what, it's not quite right these few nights, I suddenly remembered what he said..."

He Gu asked, "What's wrong?"

"Hey! The moon! The moon hasn't come out yet!" The man's expression was not very good, "Even if it's covered by dark clouds...but it's sunny everywhere without a cloud, but the moon can't be seen here, you say Is it strange?"

Normal people will be suspicious when encountering such a thing, but they can actually understand it.Jiang Yunan didn't want to waste his time, so he smiled and shook his head.

The man continued: "If you are daring, you might as well go to the Goddess Temple at night. The old man said that the ancestors said not to go to the temple at night, because the Nuwa Empress wants to eat people."

"Nuwa? Is that Nuwa's temple?"

"It's not Nuwa," he shook his head, "The crazy old man said the one in it is 'Chang'e'! It's the one Benyue!"

Jiang Yunan's smile suddenly froze on his face.

The coffin was finally brought up, and there was a noisy sound not far behind.

"—I can't pry it open, what's the matter?"

"...Try this with this."

With a loud bang, it sounded like something snapped.They all turned their heads and saw many people around the two coffins.

They pushed through the crowd and walked to the center. Mr. Wen was frowning and reached out to knock on the coffin lid: "...it is indeed hollow, the coffin is not thick, and there is no mechanism. There is no reason why it can't be opened..."

Someone suddenly asked: "Don't lock up some murderous thing, right?"

Mr. Wen glanced at him: "I've read too many novels, right? Why are there so many monsters? I've been doing this since my great-grandfather's generation, and I don't move a hand when I see something that can be regarded as a monster. Besides, even if it is really A murderous creature, the coffin can also be opened."

In fact, if Jiang Yunan was there, he would have seen the problem long ago.However, he was a little restless, and stood at a distance, not knowing where his mind was drifting.He Gu was also by his side and did not approach the coffin.

The coffin was extremely black, showing that it was uneven due to its age.Most of the old Mr. Wen came into contact with wooden coffins, and he didn’t feel that there was anything wrong for a while. After a few minutes, he suddenly remembered: “…Did Xiao Jiang just say that this is a tomb from ancient times?”

The person next to him nodded: "Yes, it's from the Neolithic Age."

Mr. Wen's expression suddenly became very strange: "... where did you get the coffin at that time?"

Since Jiang Yunan heard someone calling him, he came back to his senses.Mr. Wen called him over and asked some questions about the form of the tomb.He answered them all.

Indeed, in the Neolithic Age, rectangular vertical pits were generally dug to bury the dead, and urns and pottery burial methods appeared in the later period.Even the sarcophagus did not appear, so where did the wooden coffin come from?

Mr. Wen frowned: "No matter why there is a wooden coffin, this wood has been preserved for so many years, and it is as hard as iron. This is the first time I have seen it."

He was actually a little frustrated.He has been well-known in the capital and even in China for many years, and he has never encountered any difficulties.However, things that he didn't understand appeared one after another in this place.

He carefully touched the surface of the wooden coffin, and suddenly felt that it felt strange.Under the traces honed by the years, there are smooth and regular textures hidden.

"It seems to be engraved with words..." He looked closer, only to realize that it was not a word, but a small totem.

"One of the two coffins is the sun and the other is the moon. The sun and the moon may represent yin and yang." Old Mr. Wen frowned, "Maybe it has something to do with the time... Yin and yang alternate at meridian, let's take a look tonight at midnight."

It was tentatively scheduled to come back at night, so they went to the Goddess Temple.The temple is only more than 500 meters away from here, and I saw it after a short walk.It's really not big, even smaller than it looks in the photos sent.

The temple gate is made of wood, and it opens and closes when blown by the wind. The sound of "squeak" makes people's teeth sore.

The person in charge didn't seem to want to go in, so he sent them to the door.Mr. Wen walked around the outside, but didn't see any problems.

He Gu consciously opened the door first and walked in.One is an old man with gray temples, and the other is his sweetheart. Even if these two are better than him in some aspects, he subconsciously put them in the position of "protected".

The temple is really simple.There is no regular layout, not even a shrine, only a clay statue of a god stands on the altar, and the offerings on the plate in front are covered with floating ash.

The statue stood on the cloud, looking forward, but its figure was in an upward posture. "It" holds a ball-shaped animal in its arms, like a bird or a rabbit, which really reminds people of Chang'e flying to the moon for the first time.

Wen Lao lit a stick of incense and put it in the censer, lit a few candles, and took out some talismans for some reason.He Gu didn't quite understand, so he looked at Jiang Yunan, only to see him staring straight at the statue with a pale face.

He Gu found that his state today was really not right.

He squinted his eyes, smiled and waved his hands in front of him, pretending to be unintentional, and said, "Why, Chang'e is so pretty?"

He followed Jiang Yunan's gaze and found that he was looking at the chest of the statue.The very cheaply painted, rough-looking god statue is actually somewhat indistinguishable from male and female, and the breasts do not bulge obviously.

There is a chain embossed on the chest of "it", with colorful feathers on it, as flamboyant as you want.

"What are you doing staring at someone's breasts? Her breasts are not as big as mine..." He Gu made a joke, seeing that he hadn't responded yet, he straightened his expression slightly, "Don't be fooled, you have been absent-minded since you got here of."

Jiang Yunan still looked at the feather chain on "Chang'e" chest.Compared with the fancy and exaggerated feathers, the black diamond-shaped object in the center is really easy to ignore.

He closed his eyes, unable to deceive himself any longer.

Here is the ruins of his former tribe.He is in the Goddess Temple.

The reason why the wooden coffin appeared was that he had taught those primitive people this relatively convenient burial method.He also probably knows what that wood is. In the north of Tongzhou, there is a kind of wood that is harder than rock and metal, which is very rare.Hou Yi once found two trees by chance while hunting, and he just carried them back on foot for tens of kilometers along the way.

At that time, Jiang Yunan couldn't remember what Hou Yi said he was going to do.Unexpectedly, it became the coffin of the two of them in the end.

Yes, he thought that the coffins of the two suns and moons were probably Hou Yi and his.As for why they were buried generously, it was probably because after Pangmeng preached that they would ascend to heaven after eating the elixir, their bones were buried as fetishes.

Unknowingly, as dusk fell to the west, a gust of wind blew up, and the ashes in the incense burner were blown up with the wind, exuding a faintly scented fragrance.

If Mr. Wen felt something, he suddenly raised his head, his expression became serious: "No, get out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the candles were suddenly extinguished at the same time, and the temple was instantly dimmed.

He Gu pushed Wen Lao and Jiang Yunan towards the door, and they stepped out of the threshold one after another.He Gu just took a leg, and the wooden door suddenly closed with a "bang".

Jiang Yunan reacted very quickly to pull the door, but when he opened it again, the inside was empty, and for some reason it had disappeared.

Seeing him, Mr. Wen was ready to go in again without hesitation, and pulled him back.It's hard to imagine an old man in his 70s who is still so strong. He said in a deep voice, "Everyone has their own luck. That little brother has merits to protect his body. If he doesn't survive, even if you go, it's just a gift." Human head."

Wen Lao said: "I don't know the background of this little brother, he seems to have been honored by his ancestors...he is the most blessed here, maybe he can really calm down that demon, but none of us may be... ...Besides, I left some charms in the temple, which may protect him."

Jiang Yunan just stared at him for a while with such a sullen expression, and suddenly said coldly: "You did it on purpose."

Wen Lao's expression was not very good either: "It's nonsense, it's nonsense! I have a mission to save people, so how can I harm people? The spell is designed to protect the three of us, who would have expected such a thing to happen ? As soon as I realized something was wrong, I reminded you, if you deliberately put bait, go out and lock you both in!"

"You better not do it on purpose." Jiang Yunan suddenly bent his mouth and smiled, but the smile didn't enter his eyes, "Do you know where his merits come from?"

Old Wen's expression remained unchanged: "Young man, the merits these days are not priceless. It's nothing more than the grandparents donating some money, just..."

Jiang Yunan interrupted him: "The surname of the little brother you mentioned is He. It was accumulated in the war, from the contribution of the dragon to protect the country."

He smiled and patted Elder Wen on the shoulder, and walked into the temple without saying a word.With his own night vision ability, he looked around the entire temple in the darkness, trying to find clues.

A scale fell on the ground, reflecting a faint light in the darkness.Jiang Yunan picked it up and stared at it for a long time, his original guess was overturned again.

The scales are ochre-colored, half the size of a palm, and actually look a bit like dragon scales.
