Chapter 176: Entry is Life and Death
Haiyi Mountain Sage Temple, is an ancient building that has been handed down for more than 1,000 years, has been passed down for countless dynasties, has always been the prosperity of incense, and is one of the three ancient architectural wonders of Qinghe County.
Ji Haotian took Lin Yun all the way forward, and fifteen minutes later, he walked to the front of the Sage Temple located halfway up the mountain.
As the temple hall appeared in front of me, the boundless darkness was dispelled by the light, and everything in front of me suddenly became clear.
The temple of the saint occupies a very wide area, and the square paved with bluestone slabs in front of the door is boundless, and the ancient buildings in the middle are magnificent.
Especially in the middle of the courtyard, the statue of the saint who is more than 100 meters high gives people infinite coercion and adds a bit of domineering.
Lin Yun, who walked all the way from the darkness, saw the brightly lit saint temple and the towering statue at first glance, a shocked look appeared on his face, and he looked sideways at Ji Haotian: "We came here, didn't we participate in the auction, but why is this square so empty and there is no one?"
"Don't worry, there's a lot to come. ”
Ji Haotian smiled calmly, took Lin Yun, and walked straight to the temple.
Entering the temple gate, passing through the hand-copying verandah and the hanging flower gate, the saint's hall built according to the mountain's situation appeared in front of you, the saint's temple was surrounded by brilliant lights, but the main hall was dark.
Ji Haotian strode leisurely, stepped up the thirty-three stone steps, and walked straight to the palace gate.
The hall of the saint is more than ten meters high, the eaves in front of the hall are hung with countless copper bells, the wind passes silently, but the person just approaches, it becomes tinkling and dingdong begins to sound continuously.
"Mr. Ji, this can't be haunted!"
Lin Yun saw the brass bell that sounded without wind, and felt more and more that this place was a little crazy, and unconsciously wrapped around Ji Haotian's arm.
"Don't worry, with me, even if the ghosts and gods are here, they can't hurt you in the slightest. ”
Ji Haotian was amused by Lin Yun's movements, and let her hold her arm and walk into the main hall.
"Hula!"
Ji Haotian had just entered the main hall, and the dozens of oil lamps surrounding the store were swaying and all lit up.
"Ahh
When Lin Yun saw this even more bizarre scene, she not only screamed in shock, but also clutched Ji Haotian's palm, like a frightened little girl.
Looking at the dancing oil lamps around him, Ji Haotian couldn't help frowning.
Insect carving skills!
Taking fire from the air is indeed an ability only for high-grade martial artists, but for Ji Haotian, it is not worth it at all, and the other party's actions are nothing more than to scare ordinary merchants like Lin Yun who come to participate in the auction and create a tense atmosphere.
Looking up, a standing statue of a saint several meters high and made of red gold in front of him was looking at the front of the hall with a smile, with a smiling face, but in Lin Yun's opinion, under the firelight, it was even more terrifying.
Ji Haotian stood on the spot, and said with a full sense of anger: "We sincerely came to participate in the Chongbao Meeting today, but you are pretending to be ghosts like this, I'm afraid it's not a way of hospitality!"
"My World Treasure Club has been inherited for decades, and it has always been this set of rules, but Your Excellency, it should be the first time to participate. ”
When the words fell, a rickety figure on crutches slowly walked out from the side door of the main hall, Lin Yun heard the voice, only glanced at the person, immediately closed his eyes and didn't dare to look again, and his forehead was on Ji Haotian's arm.
The old man in front of him, most of his hair had fallen out, his skin was withered, whether it was the skin of his cheeks or arms, it was like a shriveled skin attached to his bones, and there was not the slightest place to see flesh.
The most important thing is that this old man has no eyes, in the original position of the eyeballs, there are only two black holes, if he doesn't see him able to walk and talk, even if he throws this person into the coffin and says that he is a dried corpse, Lin Yun will be convinced.
Although the old man had no eyes, he walked very flexibly, and stood three meters in front of Ji Haotian: "The rules of the World Heavy Treasure Club, between buyers and sellers, do not reveal their identities to each other, and there is no communication between the president and members, so the identity of the extradition person was handed over to me, an old blind man, presumably, it didn't scare President Lin!"
Hearing the old man's hoarse and dry voice, Lin Yun buried his head in Ji Haotian's chest and didn't dare to make a sound.
"We are here today to auction off our treasures, not to see you playing tricks. ”
Ji Haotian glanced at the old man coldly: "Where is the venue?"
"Two, please. ”
The old man laughed twice, then turned and walked towards the side door from which he came.
Ji Haotian stood behind and took a look, and found that although the old man was on crutches, he was silent when he walked, and his breathing was unusually calm, he was actually a martial arts master, and his martial arts attainments were definitely far better than Zhang Fengjiu, who was known as the first martial arts master in Yunzhou.
It seems that this treasure will be really interesting.
Walking through the side door, and continuing forward, there is a dark corridor lined with columns on both sides, at the end of the corridor, there is an underground passage that slopes downward, and at the end of the passage are two huge iron gates, on which are engraved the words "life" and "death".
"These are your clothes, two. ”
The old man stood still in front of the door, and only took off two packages on the wall: "In the Heavy Treasure Society, wealth is not revealed, people do not show their faces, those who spy on other people's privacy without permission, and those who try to unmask others, will be killed! Of course, if you want to expose your identity and thus attract the attention and revenge of others, you must also be responsible for your own life and death." ”
After listening to the old man's words, Lin Yun took advantage of the dim light to open the package in his hand and take a look, the thing in it was a burqa with a hood with a head, enough to cover the whole body, and at the same time, there was a demon mask that was completely black, and the material could not be seen, only the eyes and mouth were exposed.
Ji Haotian thought for a moment, took out the black robe and covered it on his body, and then combined with the mask in it, he directly hid all the details of his body.
"Boom—"
The ground trembled, the two iron doors in front of him slowly opened, and the old man also made a gesture of please: "The heavy treasure door is open, the shopping auctioneer goes to the door of life, and the seller of the auction person goes to the door of death." ”
"Lin Yun, let's go. ”
Ji Haotian saw the door of life and death open, took Lin Yun's hand, and walked inward slowly.
"In the door of life and death, there are two rules, one is not to take pictures and keep images, and the other is to take care of life and death once you enter the door of life and death. As the old man's words sounded, the two iron doors shook and returned to their original positions.
Walking into the door of life and death, there is a passage more than ten meters long in front of it, but the lighting facilities inside are complete, and it is no longer as gloomy as the outside, and the walls are dry and smooth, and there is no mildew and moss, which is carefully maintained at a glance.
Moving all the way, Ji Haotian had already heard the noise coming from in front of him, and stepped into the passage, as if he had entered another world.
The underground world under the temple of the saint is the size of a football field, and this is only a main hall, with countless seats for people to rest, and around the hall, there are countless entrances and exits closed with iron doors, and I don't know where it leads.
Looking up, there are countless stalagmites hanging upside down above the head, like a sword hanging over the head, which makes people look at it dauntingly.
In the brightly lit hall, hundreds of people were already sitting or standing at this moment, all of them were participants in black robes with demonic faces, even if they couldn't see their faces clearly, but the exposed eyes were all full of vigilance and cruelty.
Seeing such a scene, Lin Yun leaned closer to Ji Haotian again and grabbed the corner of his clothes.
Ji Haotian clearly said before that what he came to participate in today was an ordinary auction, but at this moment, it seems that this is normal, not only the environment is depressing, but it is gloomy everywhere.
And the crowd around him is like a group of demons dancing.
