The so-called double-faced statue is, in fact, a single statue with two different visages carved on its front and back. For instance, the one before us: on this side of the wall, it's a ferocious demon; on the other side, a heroic king. Daring to use such a blasphemous design against the king isn't just audacious—it's practically asking for death! According to Mr. Egg's speculation, someone must have secretly tampered with the back of the King Gesar statue. "What kind of tampering?" Young Master Feng suddenly appeared between us, giving us a start. "Can't you walk with some sound?!" "I did make sound! You weren't paying attention, and it's my fault?" Young Master Feng looked pale, probably having forced his courage to get through the lighting of the lamps earlier. "Not your fault, not your fault!" Mr. Egg patted his chest to calm down, then continued with his theory. According to him, if the scene in the mural on the stone door truly depicted King Gesar beheading King Drashin, then judging by the appearance of the statue before us, it's clearly meant to be King Drashin. The red square platform in front of the statue should therefore be an altar for worshipping or making offerings to Drashin. But if that's the case, a major problem arises: logically, as the victor of the Battle of Menling, the King Gesar statue in the main hall ahead should be the primary figure venerated here. Moreover, the ritual implements scattered about and the swastika symbol on the altar all prove that the hall is undoubtedly a Tantric temple. So why would there be a space for venerating King Drashin behinda Tantric temple? T
