Chapter 285: The Golden Coffin, Gods Are Immortal
Following the direction pointed by Bai Ziting, Song Xing immediately noticed a narrow mountain path on the mountain wall not far ahead.
"It seems that your detection is correct. The snow cave should be on this mountain wall." Song Xing said to Bai Ziting with appreciation.
This time Baizi Pavilion's detection was correct. This is indeed the cave where the Yufu tribe worshiped their gods.
Song Xing followed Bai Ziting and walked slowly towards the cave.
This is a quiet cave, filled with strong cold air, and the temperature inside is much lower than outside.
Passing through the long cave and going deep into the hinterland of the snow-capped mountains, there is a huge palace complex in the underground cave. The furnishings inside are extremely luxurious, with carved beams and painted buildings, and they are magnificent.
What is surprising is that these palaces have been destroyed, with only broken pillars and collapsed rubble remaining.
These broken pillars and rubble are covered with traces of being crushed by heavy objects, indicating that the place was directly destroyed by some terrifying force in an instant.
In the ruins in front of the palace, there are two humanoid sculptures about three meters high. These two sculptures were also destroyed, but their shapes are still lifelike, as if they are alive!
There are two crescent-shaped curved blades hanging on the chests of the two statues. These curved blades are not ordinary daggers, but made of pure iron!
One of the sculptures has a long red sword stuck in the chest. This sword seems to have experienced a long time, and the scabbard is rusty, but it still shines with a sharp and sharp light!
Xi Yao looked at the knife on the sculpture, his eyes flashed with joy, and he said: "This dragon tooth curved blade is very similar to the manufacturing process of the ancient Shu Kingdom. It seems that we have found the right place."
In the center of the largest and most complete palace, Song Xing and others found a huge altar.
The altar is made of huge stones, with densely carved talismans and patterns on it. There are incense candles and sacrifices placed in all directions around the altar, which looks quite solemn.
There are two black stone statues placed in the center of the altar. There is a huge golden coffin between the stone statues. The coffin seemed to be intact in this huge natural disaster.
On the stone steps in front of the altar, there is a thick ancient animal skin book, and there are also several volumes of sketches scattered around, which looks quite messy.
Next to the ancient book, there is a crutch. The body of the stick is golden and looks quite rough. The head of the stick is inlaid with a huge emerald.
There is a piece of gold wire tied to the end of the crutch, and a jade medal is wrapped around the gold wire. The color of the jade medal is dark red, which looks a little dull.
Apart from these things, there is nothing else.
Song Xing stepped forward, picked up the ancient book, opened it and looked at it, and found that it was a book recorded in ancient writing.
Because this ancient book is so old, most of the content on it has been damaged, and only some words can be barely recognized.
"This ancient book is written in the language of the ancient Shu Kingdom. Although it is no longer as prosperous as it once was, it can at least be used as a reference, which will be of great help to our future explorations."
Xi Yao took the book from Song Xing and began to read the records in the animal skin book word for word.
"This is the first written record of the Yufu Kingdom, and it introduces the history of this nation."
After Xi Yao finished reading, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"This is actually the history of the Royal Court of the Yufu Clan. This was once a holy place for worshiping ancestors and gods. No wonder I saw this animal skin book here."
"Are you sure this is the ruins of the Yufu King's Court?" Song Xing asked curiously.
Xi Yao nodded, pointed to the tadpole-like writing on it and said, "The handwriting is very vague, but the handwriting on it is barely legible."
"It says that the ancestors of the Yufu Kingdom fled to the grassland to avoid being hunted by their enemies, and established a tribe on the grassland. Later, they encountered a disaster, and the ancestors of the tribe led the tribe to escape there, but due to lack of food, many people died
The tribesmen starved to death, and in the end they could only wait for an unknown fate."
"The Yufu Nation suffered a huge blow in the catastrophe thousands of years ago. Its national power declined severely and was even on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, the gods who had abandoned them at that time came again and formed this snowy mountain to protect the Yufu people.
The race survives in secret."
Xi Yao gently touched the cover of the ancient book and murmured to himself.
"God...hehe..." Song Xing smiled and shook his head.
There are no gods in this world. This is just a lie spun by the Yufu people.
It was a long time ago and it was an ancient text. Xi Yao laboriously analyzed the text in his hand: "It says that the gods gave birth to descendants in the Yufu clan. The Yufu King passed the throne to the descendants of the gods, and the descendants of the gods established sects in the snow mountains."
"Why should the ethnic group that has worked hard to inherit the throne pass on the throne to the gods?" Song Xing asked again: "Wouldn't this be equivalent to giving it to others in vain?"
"Who knows, maybe this is a manifestation of the Yufu people's belief in gods." Xi Yao said: "After all, the temples here have been completely destroyed, and this place has become a ruin. Even if the gods really have gods,
Now that the edict has come, I’ve probably forgotten about this matter a long time ago.”
Speaking of gods, Song Xing and others all turned their eyes to the huge golden coffin in the middle of the altar.
After all, this golden coffin is so eye-catching. You can see this coffin at first sight when entering the hall.
Song Xing stepped forward, pondered for a moment, stretched out his right hand, and used his true energy to push the extremely heavy coffin away.
Several people waited for a while before sticking their heads out and looking into the coffin. They saw a man's body lying quietly in the coffin. His appearance was lifelike, and a gold mask was placed next to his head.
Song Xing's eyes changed slightly. This mask was exactly the same as the golden mask he saw in He's Bi.
The man's eyes were closed, his face was calm, and there was no trace of joy or sorrow, but blue scales could be seen on his exposed skin.
】
I don't know why, although this man's appearance was ordinary, when he was lying in the coffin, he gave people a sharp and solemn feeling.
Especially the evil spirit contained between this person's brows makes people have the urge to worship him.
Bai Ziting shouted out loud: "What... what kind of monster is this?"
After all, the man in front of him really didn't look like a normal human being. How could a human body grow blue scales?
Song Xing winced at first, then took a closer look and said in a deep voice: "It's not a monster, it's just scales that fit on the skin."
Xi Yao, Bai Qing'er and others finally woke up from their panic, looked at it calmly, and found that, as Song Xing said, the scale armor on the man was just a thin armor made of scale armor, attached to the body.
, his face, hands and feet are no different from normal people.
Bai Qing'er breathed a sigh of relief, the scene just now scared her to the point of confusion.
Not only her, but even Song Xing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. For a moment just now, he almost thought that the world he had traveled through time had evolved from martial arts to supernatural beings.
"Who is this person?"
Song Xing turned to look at Xi Yao. After all, among the people present, he was the only one who could recognize the characters of ancient Shu.
Xi Yao quickly turned over the old animal skin in his hand, but because it was too old, he frowned and flipped through it for a long time without seeing anything. It was not until he saw the last few pages that he perked up.
Putting aside the animal skins in his hands, he came to the golden coffin, carefully pushed open the huge coffin lid, stared inside and muttered something.
Several people came forward and took a look, and found that the inside of the coffin lid was actually engraved with large and small words.
"This is the first generation of the Yufu clan to sacrifice to the gods. It was mentioned in the animal skin book just now that the god passed down to the throne by the king is this person."
Xi Yao said while reading: "It is recorded here that the Yufu family believed that this person was the incarnation of the sun god in the human world, so he founded a sect in the snow mountains to educate all people. After death, his soul could ascend to the fairy world, his body would not rot, and he was buried in the snow mountains.
On the top of the mountain, I will protect the Yufu tribe forever."
"Ascended to the fairy world, the body will not decay?"
After hearing this, Bai Qing'er was about to laugh at the wishful thinking of these ancients, but then she thought about it, the man in the coffin had been dead for at least a thousand years, and her eyes suddenly became filled with surprise and uncertainty.
