Chapter 295: Living Bridge
The quicksand came very fast, and Ning Hao was sprayed all over his face.
Then all the mechanisms of the main hall were touched, and large patches of quicksand began to pour out from all parts of the dome.
"Damn it!"
Ning Hao's head was dizzy, and he turned around and followed Zhou Huawen towards the small door. As soon as he entered the small door, the quicksand behind him rushed in, directly past his calves.
By the time they rushed into the Ananda Temple, the quicksand had completely covered the main hall, and there was still quicksand pouring out of the small door.
The three of them rushed out of the Ananda temple with a rolling belt, and the quicksand rushed out with it. The quicksand on the other side of the iron bridge came more urgently, and the three of them couldn't cross it at all. The only way in front of me was the wooden bridge that even the Buddha didn't dare to go on.
But at this moment, the quicksand behind them is overwhelming, and there is no chance for the three of them to think. When the three of them rushed onto the wooden bridge, the quicksand rushed over flowed down the abyss, so that it did not continue to spread.
At this time, the three of them had already run dozens of meters away, and then they suddenly remembered that the wooden bridge had a mechanism, and they immediately stood in place and did not dare to move.
"Master Hao, a little further ahead is the center of the bridge. Remember that the mechanism of the iron bridge starts to activate when you get to the middle. ”
Xu Xiaonan was in a cold sweat, and his legs began to swing.
The mechanism of the iron bridge is to stab countless iron spikes directly from the bridge deck, and no one knows what kind of mechanism this ordinary-looking wooden bridge has. But judging from the fact that the Buddha Lux would rather climb along the iron bridge than walk on the wooden bridge, it must be more than just that the bridge deck is dangerous.
"Master Hao, what should I do?" Zhou Huawen also had a dry throat at this time.
Although he is proficient in the art of mechanisms, there are all kinds of strange mechanisms in the world, and the ghost knows what dangerous mechanism is hidden in this wooden bridge. Now the entire Ananda temple is completely flooded with quicksand, and there is no way back.
Every step forward can trigger the trap, and the only way to avoid it is to leave the wooden bridge. The only way to do that is to jump off the bridge, but if you fall off the bridge from this height, you will end up in a puddle of mud, and you can't even put your bones together.
Zhou Huawen and the others looked at Ning Hao, but Ning Hao was motionless, his eyes staring at the distance of the wooden bridge, and he seemed to have settled down.
Their eyes followed his gaze, and there was a stone box on the bridge in the middle of the wooden bridge, and a large golden flower was placed on the top of the box.
"Do you see that flower? Is it a jackfruit?"
Ning Hao swallowed and foamed, said this sentence in a dumb voice, and looked at Zhou Huawen.
"That's right, Haoye. The petals of this flower are thick and curly, shaped like closed hands, which are the jackfruit flowers. Zhou Huawen looked at it twice more and nodded affirmatively.
"The Polo flowers in the Hall of Gaye are vacant, and they are placed in the center of this wooden bridge. What the hell is the truth......" Ning Hao muttered this, his brain spinning rapidly, but he didn't have a clue.
Xu Xiaonan looked at Ning Hao and then at Zhou Huawen with a confused expression, and he didn't have any idea.
"If you put this flower down on the vacant calyx......
After Zhou Huawen finished speaking, he suddenly said sadly,
Legend has it that when he saw the Buddha holding a jackfruit flower in his hand, he smiled and had an epiphany of Buddhism, and finally became a generation of patriarchs. This jackfruit flower must have been the key to unlocking the mechanism. But if we get the key, we won't necessarily be able to walk across the wooden bridge alive. ”
Ning Hao was also resentful at the moment, grandma's key was now found and she could open the exit, but she was going to die on the wooden bridge in the middle.
Thinking around, Ning Hao always felt that something was wrong.
Since this bridge has a mechanism, you will die if you step on it. So how did you put this flower in the middle of the bridge? There must be a way to cross the bridge safely.
"Think about it again, are there any other Buddhist allusions between Gāya and Ananda?"
Ning Hao stared at Zhou Huawen and Xu Xiaonan and said,
"This mechanism put the golden jackfruit flower on the bridge, which is a fusion of Buddhist allusions between the two of them. As long as we find out the reason, we will definitely be able to cross this wooden bridge safely. ”
Zhou Huawen and Xu Xiaonan stood in place and pondered, Ning Hao squatted down to carefully observe the bridge deck, and what was strange about the bridge railing.
After a closer look, cold sweat broke out on the tips of Ning Hao's hair.
The deck of the bridge is a piece of black and heavy wooden planks, and there is a faint aroma on the smell, which should be made of precious sandalwood. The handrails are also large chunks of dark sandalwood. But there was not a single mortise on the handrails, not a single nail on the planks of the bridge deck, and not a single rope connected to it.
The whole bridge is actually independent of each piece of wood, just like countless large and small building blocks built together.
A few planks had moved out of place by the time they ran, and with a little more force, the whole bridge would have spread apart, and the bridge and everything on it would have rolled into the bottomless abyss.
"Madan, don't move, everyone. The man who built this bridge is simply a madman, this bridge is alive, where else is there any need for any mechanism. ”
Ning Hao shouted this sentence hard, and his heart almost jumped to his throat.
He had to admire these people who built bridges, they were certainly geniuses among geniuses. But this courage is too big JB, and the strength is slightly deviated when building this bridge, not to mention wasting these precious woods, and his own life has to be finished with it.
Zhou Huawen and Xu Xiaonan heard his voice, and they also learned that he squatted down and didn't dare to move. Then they also discovered the secret of the bridge and immediately understood the meaning of Ning Hao's words.
It's not that the bridge is alive, it's that every piece of wood on the bridge is moving. The people who built the bridge were simply a bunch of crazy people......
"These bastards are too bold to build a bridge like this. Xu Xiaonan was drenched in sweat, feeling like he was standing on a thin layer of ice, and a slight movement could fall and never recover.
Zhou Huawen's face was also in a cold sweat, and he said in a dry voice, "Master Hao, don't panic, when I followed my master to learn the art of disgust, I also learned carpentry for more than a year, let me think about it." ”
"Don't talk about the matter between you and your master, think about how to cross the bridge. ”
Ning Hao stood on the bridge just now and felt that as long as the mechanism was not activated, everyone would still be safe for the time being. At this time, I can see the condition under my feet clearly, and even my legs and stomachs are turning.
Under the feet is an abyss several kilometers high, and on the abyss is a building block bridge built by people I don't know how many years ago, and the three of them are standing on it.
This personal safety issue is not guaranteed at all.
"Master Hao. Zhou Huawen's face was covered in cold sweat, and he sighed, "My master seems to have told me that he will teach me the wonderful mechanism of building without mortise and tenon." But...... In the end, I didn't get the Luban map he said. At the time, I didn't think it would be of much use to learn it, so I ...... in a fit of rage."
"What's in a fit of rage?"
Ning Hao looked at Zhou Huawen with a bitter and annoyed expression, and immediately understood, "You bastard, did you kill your master's family before you learned that weapon." This is your retribution, you inhumane bastard. ”
"I don't think it's enough for me to learn how to be a carpenter with him, and to learn how to hurt people with the art of disgust. Zhou Huawen said a little embarrassed.
Ning Hao was completely speechless to Zhou Huawen...... secretly thought that Master Zhou Huawen's family didn't know what evil had been created, and even the last bloodline Yu Fei died here, which can be regarded as a cut off from grandchildren.
Thinking of this, Ning Hao suddenly had a turn of his mind, reached out and took out the book that Yu Fei left before he died.
"Explain the Worm Sutra. ”
Four words came into view. Ning Hao didn't care about what to interpret at this time, whether he was changing or not, whether he was a worm or not, and directly began to look through the book to see if there were other things.
Turning to the last few chapters of the book, a thin piece of paper finally floated out.
Yu Fei, I helped you collect the body, although your father's enemy is on the bridge. But if you have a little filial piety, you should keep your father's relics well.
Ning Hao prayed silently, stretched out his hand and picked up the piece of paper tremblingly slightly, closed his eyes tightly and opened them again, and carefully opened the piece of paper......
