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 wors.h.i.+p all kinds of majestic beings . Who would the people from heaven wors.h.i.+p?
Yun Yanli's expression turned serious, all of a sudden . "Xijiu, we shall go and pray . "
"Who are we wors.h.i.+pping?"
"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 wors.h.i.+ped as a G.o.d?
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 .
The one on the left was dressed in white . His face was covered with an odd looking mask that resembled the eyes of a fox . She could only see his lips that were perfectly angled . He looked as cold as marble .
The one on the right was dressed in red robes . As usual, he was also wearing a mask, but it was in silvery white color . His entire face was covered . As red as the fiery flames, he possessed a captivating sense of charm .
The one behind the status was in complete black . As the dark clouds, the mask on his face was pitch black as well . In his hand, he looked as though he was trying to perform a spell that could unleash fatal destruction upon the world .
The structure of the four men was as strange as it seemed . Yun Yanli was already on his knees, bowing his head in prayer . Gu Xijiu stood gazing at the statue, completely absorbed in her own thoughts .
The statue came as a shock to her . She could tell that the statue meant something as her heart slowly ached . The statue was made from a precious gem of four colors . The craftsmans.h.i.+p was intricate with fine distinctions . Even the robes were vividly manipulated to be as lifelike as possible .
While Yun Yanli was praying, she proceeded to observe the statues carefully on her own . Although all of the statues were wearing a mask, she could tell from their figures that they were not depicting the same man .
"Is the heavenly law made up by these four men?" She could not help but question the Firmament Stone .
The Firmament Stone was obviously lost in thought, as it completely ignored Gu Xijiu's question .
Gu Xijiu knocked it gently . "Are you lost? Why didn't you answer me?"
The Firmament Stone finally reacted . "Master, the heavenly law is the law of the universe that is formed naturally . Logically speaking… the heavenly law should not possess the look of a man . I do not know why it is depicted as such . "
"Aren't you the messenger of the heavenly law? Don't you know what it is?"
"Master, I only receive its instructions occasionally . I certainly do not know where it comes from or what it is . "
The Firmament Stone was like a device that was connected only to the frequency of the heavenly law . Moreover, it did not know about heaven any better than her, so Gu Xijiu decided to ask nothing more from it .
She waited for Yun Yanli . When they left, she asked, "Is the heavenly law made up of four men?"
