Chapter Fifty-Nine: A Place Covered in Terror
"Your Majesty, the single bed has been set up. [No pop-ups. Someone came to say.
Li Long nodded, opened the curtain and went down.
When the emperor came out, he couldn't live in this carriage. There is a tent set up outside, which is said to be a tent, but it is actually much better than ordinary people's houses. The emperor came down and went in, and this night was a peaceful sleep.
Surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army, the emperor doesn't have to worry about anything. The Imperial Forest Army is here, and the emperor is here. If there was someone who could defeat so many of the Royal Guards, he wouldn't be able to escape.
The emperor fell asleep, and in his sleep, he only felt a noise around him. No one called him, and he didn't care.
The night passed like this, and the next morning the emperor came out only to find that his carriage had broken down.
The place where he was supposed to sit on the carriage was cut a few gaps outside, and the gaps were deep. If you sit inside, you must have been touched.
"What's going on!" The emperor said angrily.
A group of people knelt down on the side, and one person came out, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the subordinates are not well protected, and the carriage made people sneak attack last night..."
Although it didn't hurt the emperor, everyone knew the consequences of hurting the emperor's carriage. If the emperor is really injured while sitting on it, they don't need to ask for their heads, just kill themselves on the spot here.
The emperor frowned, he didn't mean to blame these people. After all, he wasn't hurt in the slightest.
"It's really not peaceful here, I didn't expect that there would be people who dared to come to find trouble." Li Long thought to himself.
It was bright outside, and Li Long didn't want to slack off. There are royal guards all around him, so you don't have to worry about such trivial things.
After getting into the carriage, the emperor ordered everyone to go up the mountain. No one dared to slack off, and they walked up the mountain together.
Go up the hill, this carriage will not work. After the emperor got into the carriage, the horses in front of him were unloaded. A total of eight people came, four in front and four in the back, and gently lifted this up.
This thing is called a creeper, and it can be put together with a carriage. The emperor doesn't have to take a step, these people will carry him up.
Everyone was in a hurry, and the emperor could see through the gap above.
The road up the mountain was quiet, with no dead bodies and no wild dogs on the ground. On the contrary, it is full of flowers and plants, as if someone has been cultivating them all along. Further up, everything was clean, as if it had just been cleaned.
After a while, from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, several people pestered the emperor to come down, and happened to see the gate of the Shaolin Temple.
It was a large red elm door, and there were two rings on the door. The door was half-hidden, as if it had been specially reserved for people.
I looked around first, but there was no sign of anything. Thousands of people disappeared here, and Li Long thought that he would see corpses all over the ground when he came up. Unexpectedly, nothing.
Several people stepped forward and kicked the door open. This is the rule, if you don't know if it's a person or a ghost in the door, then you must be more evil than a ghost and kick it open.
Inside, too, it's quiet. The emperor and everyone walked inside, which was the outer hall of Shaolin Temple. There is another door, enter, is the lobby of the Shaolin Temple.
There's been so much going on here, the ground is clean, but you can smell the smell of blood in the air.
"Here, it seems that someone can want to hide something." The emperor thought to himself.
Without much hesitation, the door in front of him was kicked open again. Everyone entered the Buddha hall, and a statue of an ancient Buddha was lying on the ground, surrounded by eighteen Arhats typesetting several columns, so not majestic.
"It looks good here." The emperor smiled.
Suddenly, there was a burst of aroma.
This incense is extremely fragrant, so fragrant that it is difficult to extricate yourself.
The emperor asked for a moment, and immediately said, "Don't smell this incense!" This is ambergris, and if you smell too much, you will hallucinate. ”
Everyone got the order and held their breath.
The emperor was a little surprised, this ambergris was something to offer to himself. I didn't expect to be able to smell it here. This ambergris is as precious as it is, and it is still here.
The aroma became stronger and stronger, and everyone didn't dare to stay. The emperor ordered that everything could be smashed, and it was necessary to find out what was going on.
Except for a few who protected the emperor, everyone scattered. Some went to the front and back of the Buddha statue to check, and some went to the back hall to check the pagoda.
The emperor took a turn in the Buddhist hall, the smell of ambergris here was too strong, and his breathing gradually became uncontrollable. I took a few steps to the front and went straight to the back hall.
The back hall, where the stupa is located. Everything here is because of this pagoda, it is rumored that there is a Buddha bead on the pagoda that can control the world, which makes the Shaolin Temple, which has no quarrel with the world, be wiped out.
When the emperor heard of these news, he came to see this pagoda.
"Your Majesty, it is rumored that there has been a great battle for three days and three nights on this pagoda. Now it's been three years in the dust... I don't know what's going on above, so don't go up, Your Majesty. The next person said.
Li Long shook his head, didn't reply, and walked towards the pagoda.
The Imperial Forest Army followed closely, and everyone went up to the first floor of the pagoda.
The first floor of the stupa is very clean. It's so clean that it's a little weird, and even if there is no fighting, no one has come here for three years. But on the ground, it is still spotless. Even the corners and corners seem to have been deliberately swept over.
Everyone discovered these weirdness, and several royal forest soldiers surrounded the emperor, not leaving an inch.
"Your Majesty... Don't go up to this second floor. "The people on the side still want to stop it.
The emperor didn't care, and continued to go up.
The stairs from the first floor to the second floor are brittle, and people gurgle when they step on them. There are only two people in the Imperial Forest Army who can accompany the emperor, one in front and one in the back. Everyone was worried about their hearts, for fear that someone would suddenly be killed in the corner.
In fact, it's good to kill a person, but what is terrible for everyone is to kill something that is not a person.
After a long time, I came to the second floor. The second floor was much more normal, there were no corpses on the ground, but it was full of dust, and traces of corpses being dragged could be seen. Blood splattered on the wall, and broken weapons were all over the ground.
"Looks like there's really a lot going on here." Li Long said.
The people on the side didn't know how to answer, so they followed Li Long around the second layer.
There was nothing unusual on the second floor, Li Long was unwilling and continued to walk to the third floor.
The staircase, which connects the second floor to the third floor, is more fragile than the first to the second floor. Walking on it, Li Long only felt that he was swaying. Had to hold my breath and walk up slowly.
On the third floor, there were only six or seven people following the emperor. The rest were left to the second floor to check and did not follow.
In this third layer, the bloody qi is becoming more and more obvious. In addition to the smell of blood, there was a pervasive smell of decay. Li Long held his nose, and the third floor was also full of traces of dragging corpses.
But in the corner, there was also a corpse.
