Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 1259 - 148: What Is Called History Now Was Named the Future in the Past (Part 2)
And the round snake with eight copper coins on its head nearby likely refers to "Orochi"?
Wait...
"Hiss! The human-faced bull body at the top of this relief, holding a big whip like it’s urinating—this... could it be depicting my Orochi?"
"Are you kidding me!"
Xu Shu suddenly widened his eyes.
Though he was quite resistant, there was no doubt that, judging from the high and prestigious position of this "human-headed bull" at the top of the bronze door, it was probably one of the "four ancient guardians"—the Orochi!
Xu Shu was nearly amused to death by this thing.
Who on earth carved this relief?
The craftsmanship is so poor, I swear I’ll annihilate his family!
Amidst the mix of laughter and tears, Xu Shu felt a surge of confusion in his heart.
Did the Black Zhen School add these reliefs on the door? It is said their history, at most, dates back a few hundred years, which counts as ’being around for a long time’ nowadays, but in the once earth-shattering history of the Bull Demon, it’s not even a sapling.
Logically, they shouldn’t be capable of understanding such ancient things to this extent.
One must know that many of the reliefs on the door, even Xu Shu couldn’t recognize them—these mostly represented the guardian gods who were not female at the time.
Hence, Xu Shu came to two conclusions after contemplating.
Either the actual existence of the Black Zhen School is much older than Orianna mentioned;
Or establishing this Underground Bronze Temple involved another organization, with the Black Zhen School only taking over afterward.
Yet, something is still amiss because if the Black Zhen School came later, what’s the deal with the three ’Spirit King’ statues inside?
With the malice and cruelty shown by both Orochi and Emperor Shitian earlier, it’s unlikely they’d allow these juniors to seal them unless the Black Zhen School came with Fifth Realm power.
This is truly perplexing...
However, this matter can be temporarily set aside.
Xu Shu thought the more important thing was that since both Orochi and Emperor Shitian were in the temple behind the bronze door, was it possible that Orochi might also be inside?
If it were true, wouldn’t it be possible to retrieve this mighty ancient Dao Mark?!
As one of the former four guardian gods, "Orochi" was comparable to a major power in the Fifth Realm! 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
That far exceeded ’Arthur’ and ’Shen Valley First-class’!
With this thought, Xu Shu felt a surge of enthusiasm and hurriedly returned to the crowd.
He didn’t disrupt the good atmosphere of watching Gu Yue Ming save lives, lowered his voice, and asked the bride: "Sister Chan, what treasures did you see in the prison behind the third door?"
Xie Xiaochan first raised an eyebrow, then said, "What are you plotting now? Though I fainted just earlier, I’m warning you not to get any wicked thoughts, don’t covet those treasures, it’s surely a trap."
"I just want to know what it looks like." Xu Shu insisted but didn’t show any particularly urgent expression.
"Really?" Xie Xiaochan felt slightly suspicious.
"Of course! Can you still not trust me?" Xu Shu pledged earnestly.
Seeing his curiosity, Xie Xiaochan felt rather helpless, slightly recalling: "It’s a fur coat mixed with red and white, the material is very translucent, artistically high, with many golden eyes embroidered on it."
"Fur coat? Clusters of white fur?"
Xu Shu’s heart fluttered, guessing that it was probably another one of the "four," the Nine-tailed Fox Yumazao.
It wasn’t hard to guess, after all, the Bull Demon King rarely wore clothes back then, and his fur wasn’t white.
"Strange, the Bronze Temple only has three statues, so if Orochi isn’t here, it’s likely in that super large relic ’High Heaven.’
"It’s a pity..."
"Speaking of which, Yumazao just now didn’t seem to strike us, didn’t want to? Ha, she seems rather nice~"
Xu Shu pondered for a while and ultimately decided to abandon thinking.
After all, with his current power, he couldn’t explore the secrets hidden within the Bronze Door at all.
By this time, after some time of treatment, Ning Xin had regrown her limbs.
The new hands and feet looked like mutton jade, tender and shiny, seemingly brighter and more beautiful compared to her original ones.
Certainly, though seemingly restored, used as naturally as one’s own limb, there’s still a gap compared to her original limbs, needing further refinement.
"Thank you." Ning Xin murmured gloomily.
"You’re welcome." Gu Yue Ming nodded slightly, looking at the gourd with ’Three-Life Fruit,’ almost half consumed, his face was hard to hide the flesh pain.
But this was still relatively fine, as "rogue’s" body, one of the ’Three Martial Arts,’ ranked the bottom among the three professions; if there were a "warrior" lying here, even an entire gourd wouldn’t be enough.
Gu Yue Ming knew the other was still trapped in immense grief from losing a sibling, thus hadn’t immediately thought of "monetary compensation," believing that later when she regains composure, she will surely make up for it, so he didn’t rush to remind.
Yet, it was Ning Xin herself, after a moment, tears couldn’t help but start to flow, holding a piece of clothing fragment murmuring: "Brother... sob... Jun Moxiao, tell me, did I cause my brother’s death?"
"Uh..." Nearby Gu Pan hesitated, visibly stumped, furrowing her eyebrows pondering how to comfort.
At this moment, Ning Xin seemed completely shattered, crying loudly in Gu Pan’s arms: "If I hadn’t insisted on him accompanying, he wouldn’t have died... it’s all my fault, shouldn’t have entered! Waa! Brother!!!"
