Superbase Evolution

Chapter 624: Golden Crow Temple

Ouyang Yudu picked up the silk and shook it. The ashes on it fell off, revealing the white and transparent silk that looked like a square scarf.

There were rows of small black characters embroidered on the white silk. I couldn't see it when it was with Heihui just now, but now I can see it clearly.

The words were embroidered in extremely small sizes. If it weren’t for Lin Shen and the others’ excellent eyesight, most people wouldn’t be able to see them clearly without a magnifying glass and would mistake them for ordinary patterns.

Lin Shen took a closer look, but could not recognize what the words meant. They seemed to be from the same system as the words on the jade plaque.

This made Lin Shen feel a little absurd. He could recognize the alien characters, but he could not recognize the ancient human characters.

Ouyang Yudu looked at it for a while and said, "I only recognize some of the characters. From what I see, the words embroidered on it should be a love letter."

"Love letter?" Lin Shen didn't expect this to be the answer.

"Yes, it is a love letter, and this love letter is written to Jian Di." Ouyang Yudu said again.

"Jian Di... isn't that the heroine of Xuanniao Shengshang? Could it be that you guessed it right? Xuanniao Shengshang actually has a hidden hero!" Lin Shen was very curious and asked quickly, "Does it say who wrote it to Jian Di?"

"No." Ouyang Yudu shook his head.

"What a pity." Lin Shen looked at the body that had been burned to ashes, frowned and said, "This man actually had a love letter written to Jian Di. Could he be the male protagonist?"

Naturally, no one could answer this question. Ouyang Yudu handed the jade token in his hand to Lin Shen: "I don't know what this jade token is for, you can keep it for now."

"By the way, what do these words mean?" Lin Shen then remembered that Ouyang Yu didn't say what the words on the jade token meant.

"I can't quite recognize it. I only recognise the character 'Ling'." Ouyang Yudu said.

Lin Shen had no choice but to put the jade token away first and then find someone who understood these ancient characters to figure out what this jade token was.

The three of them looked around the temple again but found nothing. Like other temples, everything in the main hall was almost destroyed. Even the Xuanniao tablet was cut in half by something.

Fatty didn't react at all. When Lin Shen was leaving, he was about to put it back into the backpack, but Fatty dodged Lin Shen's hand and jumped onto Lin Shen's other shoulder.

Lin Shen was a little surprised, but he didn't force it back into the backpack.

After the three people came out of the Xuanniao Temple, they suddenly felt as if something was not right and could not help but turn their heads to look around.

They didn't find anything, but when they turned around to leave, they had that bad feeling again, as if someone was watching them from behind.

But they looked back again and again to confirm, but still saw nothing.

The three of them looked at each other, feeling that the situation was not good, and put on their shells, ready for battle.

It was not convenient for them to stay here any longer, so they had to keep moving forward, looking for any possible teleportation device.

The feeling of being watched persisted, but they never found anything. It was not until they reached the ruins of another temple that the strange feeling suddenly disappeared.

The three of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "The things in this place actually have a sense of territory?"

They walked towards another temple, and sure enough, they no longer felt like they were being spied on. It might be that those creatures did not dare to enter the areas of other temples.

Lin Shen pondered and said, "We didn't have that feeling when we were in other temples, but after coming out of the Xuanniao Temple, we suddenly had that feeling. Could it be related to the corpse I took down?"

"It's possible." Ouyang Yudu nodded: "This place is too weird, let's not touch the things in the temple."

Lin Shen responded and walked closer, discovering that this temple was much better preserved than the previous ones.

The gatehouse of the temple is in good condition, and the plaque on it is not covered with too much dust. You can clearly see the three words "Jinwu Temple" written on it.

"Golden Crow Temple... Could this be the Golden Crow in the myth that Houyi shot the sun in?..." Lin Shen couldn't help but say.

Three people entered the temple to look for a teleportation device hidden inside. They did not find any teleportation device, but they did see another hanging statue in the main hall.

This time it is a real statue, not a corpse, but the statue is obviously human-like in appearance, not the Golden Crow.

"There is a bow hanging on the wall..." When Lin Shen looked around the temple, he found a bow hanging on the wall.

It looks like a very ancient bow, probably made from the horn of some creature. I don't know what the bowstring is made of, but it's translucent and looks like beef tendon.

The whole bow looks very rough, as if it is a product of primitive society, and its manufacturing technology is not very advanced.

"This is the Jinwu Temple, and there is another bow here. Do you think this bow has any connection with Houyi in Houyi Shooting the Sun?" Lin Shen said, staring at the bow on the wall.

"The ancients believed that the sun was the golden crow. Legend has it that in ancient times, ten golden crows came out to play at the same time, and the earth was cracked by the sun. People could not survive, so they invited a great archer, Hou Yi, to shoot and kill nine of the golden crows, leaving only one golden crow, which is the sun today." Ouyang Yudu smiled and said, "The story of Hou Yi shooting down the sun is the most bizarre among the myths and legends, because you can't imagine what kind of life this myth represents at that time. Moreover, among so many myths, only Hou Yi shooting down the sun has a follow-up story, which is also quite strange. Generally speaking, a myth should have only one protagonist, but the myth of Hou Yi shooting down the sun leads to the story of Chang'e flying to the moon. One story has two protagonists, which is very special in itself."

With the previous experience as a lesson, Lin Shen and his companions did not dare to take the bow on the wall. They did not find anything useful. When they were about to leave, the fat boy who had been standing on Lin Shen's shoulder suddenly moved.

It flapped its short, thick wings, and with its chubby body, it tried to fly towards the bow on the wall. Then it grabbed the bowstring with its mouth, pulled the bow off the wall, and threw it towards Lin Shen.

Lin Shen reached out and caught the bow. It felt a little cool to the touch. The bow body was made of black keratin and was very comfortable to touch.

"You want me to take it away?" Lin Shen stretched out his hand to catch the fat boy who flew back, looked at him with some confusion and asked.

Fatty nodded, then jumped onto Lin Shen’s shoulder, crawled back into the backpack, zipped it up with his mouth, and went back to sleep.

　There is no fixed update time of 6 o'clock, and it is still being adjusted. I still hope to update all five chapters at noon.
