Chapter 1863: The Legend Of The Heavenly Law
As their journey continued, they could see a temple from afar, or more precisely, a building that resembled the structure of a temple. Concrete walls of dark purple jade surrounded the building. Purple bamboos environed the yard, making the place gloomy and mysterious.
To her surprise, there was a temple in a place so remote and obscure. People from Earth built the temples to worship all kinds of majestic beings. Who would the people from heaven worship?
Yun Yanli’s expression turned serious, all of a sudden. "Xijiu, we shall go and pray."
"Who are we worshipping?"
"The Heavenly Order."
Gu Xijiu was astonished.
As far as she was concerned, the heavenly law was the ultimate guide to maintain the order of basically everything in the world. The law had governed the earth’s rotation on its axis and maintained the laws of the universe. How could something as abstract as the law be worshiped as a God?
Out of curiosity, she stepped into the temple. There were some words carved on the door, stating ’the unpredictability of the heavenly laws.’
The words were colored with gold, with a font of vigorous touches and fine strokes, making it appear swift and yet fierce. She could feel a sense of amazement about the place as if she was about to enter the vast universe.
The first thing that she could see in the temple was a statue. She was utterly astonished as she stood before the statue. Unlike the usual statues, the one that she saw had an odd appearance. Its body was a union of four different men.
The one on the front was wearing entirely purple, with a mask that resembled the shape of a fox’s face. The color of the mask was vividly in red, concealing his face. She could only see his narrow eyes like he was smiling.
