We walked to the bottom of the temple and saw that the temple was more than ten feet high. The bottom of the temple was square. There were nine floors in total, which were gradually reduced in size. They were all made of large stones and surrounded by

There are four ascending stone stairs, and the uppermost level is a two-story stone chamber.

In front of the temple is a small square. In front of the square stands a tall bronze statue, which is exactly the same as the statue with a strange head and a pair of bird feet that we found in the river. Even his expression is looking at the sky.

Showing a weird smile.

It's just that this statue is not holding Quetzalcoatl, but is holding something like a staff in its left hand, and touching its chest with its right hand.

Lin Xia only knew that the winged snake was the Quetzalcoatl called "Kukulkan", but she didn't know the origin of this monster-like thing. She walked around the statue twice and remained silent.

Know what you are thinking.

On Tuesday, Mao had no interest in the statue at all, so he called Bailong and ran straight to the steps of the temple.

I called him from behind: "Er Mao, be careful, baby, you are in a hurry, be careful there are traps up there!"

Tuesday Mao Haha joked: "Sooner or later you all have to come up, you Chen Erwa pretend to be so polite!"

When we looked back, Tuesday Mao had already reached the top of the temple.

"This one is too high. How can anyone build a tower like this!" Chen Erwa exclaimed loudly while kicking at the door.

After a while, Zhou Zhou Mao shouted excitedly from the top: "Er baby, come up quickly, there is a sarcophagus above."

When we heard this, our curiosity suddenly aroused. We all walked towards the temple without looking at the statue.

I thought to myself: This burial method is a bit special. How do you put a coffin on the top of the tower?

By the time we got to the stone chamber, Zhou Zhoumao could hardly wait any longer and said, "This situation is a bit strange!"

We saw a large number of strange patterns and symbols that we could not understand carved around the stone chamber, and there was a large stone coffin in the middle of the stone chamber, which looked like something we had never seen before.

There is a strange pattern carved on the cover of the sarcophagus.

Lin Xiazi looked at the cover of the sarcophagus carefully, pointed to the picture and said: "I have seen this picture, it is called the Three Realms Picture, it is the Mayan people's understanding of the world. Look at it, the upper world is the sun and stars.

The track is the place where the gods move. The will of the gods and various oracles are reflected in the changes in the movement of the stars in the upper world. The Milky Way is the World Tree in the sky. This Milky Way is where the deceased walked after leaving the middle world.

path.

The middle is the human world, and the center of the human world is the central axis of the universe. The middle world where humans live and live consists of a five-petal plum blossom structure composed of four directions and centers: east, west, south, north, and the center.

And like the upper world, the lower world is also a place with supernatural powers, that is, hell, with a total of nine levels, which is why there are nine levels of stairs when we come up."

We seemed to understand what we heard. Zhou Mao couldn't wait for Lin Xia to continue explaining.

He used the engineering shovel to insert it into the crack of the stone and said: "I never thought that I could get a foreign meat rice dumpling in this life. It seems that I am going to make a fortune this time!"

Lin Xia shook his head speechlessly and ordered several team members to help Zhou Mao move the sarcophagus.

I looked at the top of the stone chamber curiously and said in surprise: "Lin Xia, look above!"

Lin Xia looked up and saw that it was densely engraved with various dots and lines. She asked curiously: "What is this? It feels like some kind of symbol."

I said: "This is a star chart, it's the same thing we learned, and it feels many times more complicated than we understand."

Lin Xia suddenly realized: "The Mayans are proficient in astronomy and arithmetic. This is indeed true."

I took out the compass, compared the astrological chart with the placement of the sarcophagus, and wondered: "Their placement is extremely strange. The head of the sarcophagus is actually pointing to Sirius. The light from Sirius passes through the airflow channel on the south wall.

Directly into the head of the deceased;

This Sirius is another star that mainly invades and kills. And in the southeast of Sirius, there are nine arc stars, eight of which are like bow arcs, and the outer star is like an arrow, so it is called arc arrow. When you see Sirius, the nine arc stars are unfolded, and you will

It is a time when there is war on the border. Therefore, it is recorded in "Linjun Kanyu Jue" that "when the bow of the sky is stretched, the swordsmen will rise."

Lin Xia said: "Each nation has its own worldview. Maybe the beliefs of the Mayans are different from those of us Easterners."

Lin Xia thought for a while and then said: "The person buried here must be a person with an extremely high status. I was thinking just now whether it might be Ji, the Fourth Qin Dynasty. According to what you just said, this possibility is almost impossible."

Zero."

I laughed and said, "If the Fourth Emperor of Qin was buried in a place like this, it would be difficult to see his ancestors underground."

Over there, Tuesday Mao and others were still busy prying open the lid of the sarcophagus.

Mao shouted on Tuesday: "This thing is very heavy, everyone, be careful, wait until Hammer smashes the foot pole!"

We gathered around and saw that Tuesday Mao and two other people had pried open a small gap in the lid of the sarcophagus and were inserting the pry bar.

Just hearing a muffled sound, several people finally opened the lid of the sarcophagus.

We all gathered around the sarcophagus, wanting to see who the owner of this sarcophagus was.

Inside the sarcophagus was a man wearing a strange-shaped silver helmet. Unlike the Chinese armor helmet, which exposed the face, this helmet covered the entire head. The position of the eyes was very similar to that of the Eight Immortals in the tomb of Ba Pei.

Taking out gas mask in glasses.

The whole body was wrapped in a ball of silk, with only a huge head exposed, but judging from the position of the feet, the figure looked very short.

Tuesday Mao said strangely: "Hey, Erwa, why does this person look like a monkey? Do you want to wake up?"

I nodded and said: "Get up! Look what kind of turtle it is!"

Erwa ordered: "

Come on! Guys, please pay attention to the position of your left shoulder and right foot!"

I wondered: "What's the left shoulder and the right foot?"

Erwa said: "Didn't Mr. Gui say that good things are always in the position of the left shoulder and right foot?"

I was stunned and said: "This is a foreign coffin. It is probably not the same as the Chinese burial method."

Erwa plucked his hair and said with a smile: "That's right! Then forget about that!"

Regardless of which one, Zhou Mao went straight forward to clean the artifacts in the coffin.

There are not many visible objects in this sarcophagus. When you clean it down, they are all filled with shells and the like.

Mao complained on Tuesday that he couldn't get enough of the valuable gold, silver, jewelry, and jade.

On Tuesday, Mao cursed while taking it: "To build such a big temple, just to bury this little thing with someone else, Ge Zhang is so boring."

There were indeed not many artifacts in the sarcophagus, and most of them seemed to be worthless, so we couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

Mao said on Tuesday: "Why don't you take off the mask and take a look to see what this person is like."

I was squatting on the ground playing with those strange square boxes, and didn't notice Mao's actions on Tuesday.

He responded: "Has your child forgotten how Gui Gong was poisoned at that time?"

Suddenly! A scream came from Zhou Mao in front of the sarcophagus.

The people who had just gathered around Tuesday Mao also dispersed.

Mao pointed to the coffin in horror on Tuesday and said: "Ghost! Ghost!", still holding the white hood in his hand.

Bo Dongha, who was still outside just now, has walked over quickly, and I also got up to look inside the sarcophagus.

When I looked into the sarcophagus, my scalp immediately went numb.

I saw that the creature in the sarcophagus was really not a human-like creature. Because it was too old, the muscles had completely withered. But the strange thing was that the skin of this thing was still tightly wrapped around the monster's face like a layer of cowhide.

Especially his eyes, which are sunken into huge eye sockets. Due to the shrinkage of the skin in the mouth, only four huge fangs can be seen, which looks extremely weird.

"It seems..." I said solemnly: "This is not a ghost. Isn't this the monster on the bronze statue outside?"

Everyone boldly gathered around again, and Chu Liang also said: "That's right! Isn't this the monster holding Quetzalcoatl? It turns out that this kind of thing is not just imagined!"

Lin Xia was also confused. This weird creature seemed to be beyond her knowledge.

I asked Lin Xia: "This...is this the Maya?"

Lin Xia shook his head and said: "This... this is definitely not the Maya. Are the Mayans the same as us? They are also human beings. This kind of creature is not human at all."

I thought for a moment, then walked to the monster's feet and opened the thick silk.
Chapter completed!
