Chapter 400: Miscellaneous Birds in Sunset Mountain
Inside the Temple of the Three Kings, it was in dilapidated condition, surrounded by spider threads.
Under the sun, the sky was full of dust, making the temple even more dilapidated.
There are three stone statues standing on the high altar, but they have been damaged, and only half of their bodies are left.
Especially the one on the far left is the most "miserable" and has almost been eradicated. As for the stone statue in the middle, one can vaguely see a flamboyant expression.
As for the far right, it is the best preserved. It is covered with a straw mat and is holding a big goose on its right hand.
"What kind of statue is this? Why does it look so weird!?" Zhou Dao wondered.
He is familiar with the statues of gods in general temples, and he has seen many statues enshrined in groups, but he has never seen ones shaped like this.
"It is said that there are three mountain gods in Sanwang Mountain. In the past, the villagers built temples here. Later, after the establishment of Yuyaosi, they once used this as their base camp."
After Wang Xuanzhi entered the headquarters of Yuyaosi, he had a deeper understanding of Yuyaosi's history, many of which were not recorded in books and passed on by word of mouth from the old people.
"In conclusion, this is the starting place of Yu Yaosi."
"Is Yu Yaosi going out from here!?"
Zhou Dao has gained a lot of knowledge today. It is unbelievable that the world-renowned Yuyaosi came from such a small mountain temple. No wonder it was not recorded in the "Working Manual of Yuyaosi".
"Of course, there is another way of saying it." Wang Xuanzhi said suddenly.
"What do you say?" Zhou Dao asked.
"The ones enshrined in this temple are the great ancestor, the first chief minister, and one of their old friends. The three statues stand side by side, and they are collectively called the king."
"Old friend?" Zhou Dao's expression froze slightly.
Being able to be friends with Taizu, the first generation, shouldn't be an ordinary person, let alone erecting statues in temples! ?
Wang Xuanzhi nodded, and pointed to the almost destroyed stone statue on the far left.
"It should be that person, but the specific identity has not been verified, but it is an extraordinary generation to stand side by side with the Taizu. Maybe the royal family knows."
While speaking, Wang Xuanzhi pointed to the stone statue in the middle.
"This should be the great grandfather,
But..." Wang Xuanzhi himself muttered.
There are rules in the imperial court, the holy elephants of the great grandfather cannot be erected indiscriminately, even if they are real, how can they not be repaired properly, and then buried barren hills and ruined temples?
"So, the one on the far right is the first chief?"
Zhou Dao raised his eyes and looked at the stone statue with the big goose lying beside him. It was old and damaged, and the charm of the past could no longer be seen.
"Why is there still a stone statue of a big goose?"
Zhou Dao also grew up in Taoist temples since he was a child, and he has seen many god statues, and some enshrined gods and beasts, but those are all at the legendary level, such as real dragons, divine phoenixes, and Xuanwu.
No matter how bad it is, in ancient times, some big monsters would be enshrined as prostitutes, such as the nine-tailed demon fox, the yellow-skinned fairy, the white snake god, and so on.
But it is unheard of for poultry to be enshrined in temples, and it is also a big white goose among poultry.
Zhou Dao knows that the taste of this kind of duck is generally the best when roasted, and it is also used for marinating. The taste is fatter than duck, and it is slick and oily in one bite, mixed with the crispy and crispy taste.
In the largest restaurant in Ping'an Town, Zuixianlou, a roast goose costs three renminbi.
Such high-quality ingredients are enshrined in the temple?
No matter how Zhou Dao looked at it, he thought it was fragrant.
"Maybe it was a pet raised by the first chief executive." Wang Xuanzhi said casually.
So many years have passed, the years are ruthless, even there is no record in the ancient books, and many of the past can only be legends and speculations.
"Raise big geese?" Zhou Dao looked strange.
"What's the point? An expert in the world, you have to have some hobbies. Don't you also have a dog." Wang Xuanzhi mentioned Ha Shiqi.
"I heard that Yu Yaosi's [Feather Official Rank System] was inspired by this big goose."
Wang Xuanzhi remembered the secret that an old man in Yuyaosi's headquarters told him.
It is said that at the beginning of the year, the head of the head office founded Yuyaosi, and Taizu granted it. The promotion system of Yuyaosi headquarters can be separated from the imperial court, which is unique.
Such a reward, the emperor's kindness is so great that the first chief executive plucked a feather from the big goose he raised, and established the book with this, thus creating the [Feather Official Rank System], which has been used by successive dynasties Yuyaosi to this day.
White Feather and Black Feather are divided into nine ranks, which is the limit that can be achieved in the refining realm.
Further up is the golden feather, which is a height that can only be achieved by the strong in [True Realm], and it is not uncommon even in the headquarters of Yuyaosi.
Undoubtedly, that is the real high-level, bright and promising, enough to leave a name in the history of the demon masters of this era.
That day, when Li Zangfeng bestowed Zhou Dao with the golden plume rank, Zhou Dao didn't fully understand the weight of it.
"The history of Yu Yaosi... is really interesting." Zhou Dao looked at the stone statue of the Three Kings and murmured softly.
"Let's go."
At this moment, Wang Xuanzhi urged.
Zhou Dao looked at the small ruined temple, and was a little puzzled: "Where is the genius training camp?"
"Naturally, there is something different about it. According to regulations, only relatives of members of the training camp who have passed the internal review of the Monster Control Division can visit at the prescribed time." Wang Xuanzhi said mysteriously.
He was originally the [Banner Chief] of the Monster Control Division, not to mention Zhou Dao, who also carried the position of [Supervisory Special Envoy] on his back, which was comparable to a golden plume, and his status was high enough to be comparable to that of a government secretary and a great official in the frontier.
As for Jiang Yuan, he is an orphan, and it can be said that Zhou Dao is his closest person in this world.
They want to get the formalities and enter the [Genius Training Camp] without difficulty.
hum...
Wang Xuanzhi took out a gold seal with a feather engraved on it, as if it was floating in mid-air.
As soon as Fang went out, the golden seal bloomed with mysterious light, reflecting on the altar.
In an instant, the ancient temple shook, layers of dust fell, and the bottom of the altar suddenly left, and a black hole appeared, just enough for one person to pass through.
"Sure enough, there is something hidden in the sky." Zhou Dao was surprised.
After all, this is the base of the genius training camp, the foundation of the demon master, with mysterious methods and hidden universe.
"Let's go."
Wang Xuanzhi jumped into the black hole.
Seeing this, Zhou Dao also followed in.
The two disappeared into the black hole, and then, the black hole disappeared immediately, and everything returned to its original state.
The ruined temple is still the same ruined temple, as if nothing had happened.
After a long time, the dust settled, and the sunlight sifted through the holes in the roof and fell into the temple, reflecting the ancient stone statue more and more mottled and vicissitudes.
"Ga! Kara! Kara!"
Suddenly, a strange cry resounded in the temple, and the echo burst out, mysterious and extraordinary.
"Your whole family is food!!"
"The miscellaneous-haired birds in Sunset Mountain are really against the sky, and they are still alive!"
The strange cry sounded again, revealing a trace of weirdness, lonely and deep, like a stone falling into stagnant water, ripples appeared, and there was a long silence.
