Chapter 1622 Sutra Flags
The most important thing now is to find the real one among the two Bodhisattva statues.
Yao, Shun, and Yu raised their heads and looked at the two Bodhisattva statues on the left and right. From the appearance, the two Bodhisattva statues were almost identical. The paintings on them were also quite old, giving the impression that they had been displayed here for a long time.
Walking to the Bodhisattva statue on the left, Yao, Shun and Yu boldly stretched out their hands, bent their knuckles and tapped lightly on the statue.
The sound the statue gave back was very muffled, and it didn’t look like there was a hollow part inside. Yao, Shun, and Yu went to the statue on the right and did the same action again, and the result was the same. The other statue was also solid. This approach won't work.
In fact, the simplest and crudest way is to find an inconspicuous place on the statue, and then use a hard object to open a gap. If there is still a clay sculpture inside, then it is naturally real, but this method is too dangerous. If flesh and blood are found inside, , Yao, Shun, and Yu knew that he was not far from death, and the disturbed Empress Zhusheng would not let him go.
"Bang."
"Bang."
......
The wooden window frame was shaken by the wind, and made impact sounds from time to time. The sound made Yao Shunyu, who was already impatient, even more irritable.
He took a deep breath, sat down slowly, and began to carefully sort out tonight's clues.
"Kowtow before the devil, gold is rubbed on the Buddha's face, and there are two words of Feng Shui..."
Wandering in the hall while thinking about Yao, Shun and Yu's eyes, he subconsciously felt that he had ignored it What, it’s nearby.
A few seconds later, Yao and Shunyu's eyes rested on the wall on the side of the hall. To be precise, it was the wooden window that was constantly shaking by the wind.
"Wind..."
Yao, Shun and Yu looked at each other for a moment, where did the wind come from?
They walked outside for a stick of incense and didn't notice any wind.
Somewhat hindsight is that tonight is really strange, there is no wind at all, and the night is surprisingly quiet.
He walked toward the window warily. The wooden windows had also been severely eroded by time, and the edges could no longer fully fit the window frame, leaving some gaps exposed.
But the strange thing is that when Yao, Shun and Yu stretched out their hands to touch the gap, they could not feel the trace of wind.
But looking at the shaking of the wooden window, it was clearly blown by the wind, and it was still very windy.
"Feng Shui...wind..."
Thinking of this, Yao, Shun, and Yu no longer hesitated. He removed the wooden bolt inserted behind the window. The next second, the trembling window was violently blown Open, a strong gust of wind pours in.
The night was a little cold, but the wind was not biting. On the contrary, it also had a soothing warmth, which made Yao, Shunyu and Yu relax.
But as Yao Shunyu turned around, his face that had just relaxed suddenly tightened again, and the scene behind him made his hair stand on end.
I saw the colorful prayer flags on the left side of the Bodhisattva statue dancing wildly in the wind, making a rustling sound, but the right side of the right side of the Bodhisattva statue was motionless, as if time and space had stopped.
The next second, the candle burning in the hall was suppressed by the wind, and then extinguished with a "pop". The Bodhisattva statue on the right also instantly disappeared into the darkness, leaving only a vague outline.
I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but Yao and Shunyu felt a malicious gaze. The feeling was very strong, as if a cold blade was scraping against the skin little by little, and it was projected from the outline of the Bodhisattva on the right. Come!
It turns out that the key tonight is the wind!
After calming down, Yao, Shun, and Yu no longer hesitated. He tried his best not to look at the Bodhisattva statue on the right. He walked towards the Sumeru Seat in the main hall, found the incense stick nearby, and then carried it again. With enough strength, I moved the copper incense burner little by little to the Bodhisattva statue on the left.
After doing this, Yao, Shun, and Yu had no time to take a breath, so they took out three incense sticks from the incense tube wrapped in red cloth, lit them in the lantern they carried, bowed to the Bodhisattva statue, and respectfully inserted them into the incense burner.
"Bless us, Bodhisattva. I hope that my friends and I can turn our bad luck into something better. We came in a hurry today and did not bring enough incense and offerings. When the disciples are out of trouble, they will definitely build a new Dharma altar for the Bodhisattva and bring them with them." Join my friends and add more incense to the Bodhisattva! "
Yao and Shunyu said these words sincerely, then knelt on the cold bluestone and kowtowed three times to the Bodhisattva in front of him.
Then he stood up, put the lantern on a pillar nearby, stuck the sickle behind his waist, and climbed towards the Bodhisattva's head using his hands and feet.
The process went smoothly. The Bodhisattva statue was 5 meters tall. After finding a place to rest, Yao, Shun, and Yu took out their sickles. After silently saying "Bodhisattva is not to blame" in their hearts for a few times, they began to scrape with a not very sharp blade. The gold powder on the face of the Bodhisattva.
"Crack."
"Crack."
......
A series of tooth-gripping sounds echoed in the dim hall.
“Click…”
Yao, Shunyu, who was scraping gold, suddenly moved his ears, and he heard some unusual sounds, right behind him!
The sound sounded like something dry was cracking bit by bit.
After a moment, a terrifying picture appeared in Yao, Shun and Yu's mind. The swollen and black Empress Zhu Sheng was breaking out of the shell of the Bodhisattva statue behind her, and the sound of "ka ka" It was the crisp sound of the dry clay sculpture shell cracking.
An unprecedented curiosity drove him to turn his head and take a look, even if it was just a glance. But the next second, Yao Shunyu was frightened by the thought in his heart. He bit his lips and shook his neck. The waist has become a little stiff, so he speeds up his hands again.
I don’t know how long it took, the sound behind him disappeared, and the gold powder in Yao and Shun Yu’s hands had accumulated a thick layer. He took a long breath, then stepped on the statue, and returned little by little. ground.
After landing, he slowly moved his stiff neck. The scene in front of him made Yao Shunyu's heartbeat slow down for half a beat. He saw many pieces of peeling mud scattered in the hall, some with bright colors.
These scattered pieces of mud extended all the way from behind him, leading into the darkness opposite him.
The other Bodhisattva statue that was originally hidden in the darkness disappeared.
He lowered his head and picked up a piece of clay with eyes painted on it. Yao, Shun, and Yu's heart was beating hard. The back of the clay was covered with a layer of filthy mucus, which constantly emitted waves of stench, like meat that had rotted for a long time.
The most terrifying thing was that the fragment was less than 2 meters away from him.
It can be imagined that not long ago, when he was concentrating on scraping gold, another Bodhisattva statue behind him moved. The Empress Zhusheng who was hidden in it struggled to crawl out while approaching him, and finally even stopped a few meters behind him. Very close distance, if... if at that time He turned around without stopping his curiosity...
Yao Shunyu shook his head violently, interrupting his increasingly terrifying thoughts. It was meaningless to talk about it now. The mission was over. He Survived, no matter how thrilling the journey was, he won.
"The key to my mission is wind, so the key to Li Bai's mission should be water!" Yao, Shun, and Yu collected the gold powder and strode out of the palace. (End of this chapter)
