Chapter 47: Target Dragon King Tower

There are many kinds of signatures, some seek marriage, some seek peace, and some seek wealth. The signature itself is divided into several types, and there are mainly three types: superior signature, medium signature and inferior signature. The people who draw the top lottery are generally smiling and extremely excited, which is even more exciting than their son being admitted to the top prize. And the people who draw the inferior lottery are generally depressed, worried, and think of various ways to change the lot.

Seeing the woman shaking the bamboo tube with anticipation on her face, Hua Jiu guessed that she was probably here to ask for money, or it was related to her children. After a while, a stick slipped out of the bamboo tube and fell to the ground, and then she picked it up excitedly and looked at it for a long time, and then her eyes smiled into a bend, and she hurriedly bowed to the Buddha statue a few times.

Presumably she had asked for a sign, but after the woman got up, she walked towards the monk here, and said, "Master, please help me unsign it." ”

The monk took it and looked at it carefully for a while, then took out a piece of paper from the box next to him, and then replied: "The donor will have good news in his family recently, and he will get a son, these are not accidents, but you cultivated blessings and accumulated virtue in your last life, and the Buddha gave you." ”

"Ouch, it's too spiritual, it's too spiritual, my daughter-in-law is about to give birth!" When the woman heard this, she laughed and laughed.

What the monk said was so mysterious that Hua Jiu was stunned when she listened to it, and she couldn't help but want to ask for a fortune lot, but seeing that so many people were queuing, she just gave up.

If this goes down, it is estimated that it will have to be lined up until tonight, and besides, I am not really here to pray for blessings. So he said to him:

"Master, I'd better come back later." Let's go deeper into the Dragon King Temple.

The Dragon King Temple is a large-scale Buddhist temple, only to see the treasure hall in the center is more majestic and magnificent, the ground is covered with red blankets, and even the cushion of kneeling and worshipping is wrapped with gold wire, which is worthy of the queen mother to come here every year.

Looking up at the top of the temple, it was simply dazzling. I saw that the raised faces of the Buddhas were like countless stars in the summer night sky, with different expressions and thousands of postures.

Then pass through the central treasure hall, walk inside, is the courtyard of the Dragon King Temple, several Bodhi trees in the courtyard are huge, tall and verdant, hung with red ribbons, these belts are full of people's wishes, put their wishes on this, but also to pray to the heavens.

Hua Jiu looked at it here for a while, and couldn't help but sigh, it seems that there are still many superstitious people. As soon as he turned around, the Dragon King Ta appeared not far away.

This gorgeous and majestic dragon king tower stands in the south of the dragon king temple, the tower shape is like spring bamboo shoots, thin and straight, the top of the tower is like a cover, the tower is like a bottle, the color is like iron, it is unique.

What Lou Xiaoyue said was indeed right, there are a total of eighteen floors, more than 20 zhang high. Looking at it from a distance, you can see it like a pillar of optimus, straight into the sky.

The whole body of the tower is carved with tens of thousands of delicate stone statues, each Buddha statue has a different posture, but all are lifelike. The top of the tower is bordered by terracotta tiles, the body of the tower is made of copper-colored tiles and dark gray marble, and a copper-colored bell hangs from each corner of the tower, giving people a feeling of antiquity.

The first floor of the tower is also the entrance, but at the moment the entrance door is closed, and no one should be allowed to enter it. After that, each floor of the tower was a room, like a pavilion, and several windows could be seen open to the outside, but from the outside you could only see a dark patch, and you could not see anything inside.

Hua Jiu wandered around the Dragon King Tower for a while, wondering how to go in and steal the treasure. At this time, she saw a group of people kneeling around the tower, and couldn't help but walk over curiously.

"Hey, this lady, won't this Dragon King Tower be entered? How do you see you prostrating here? She asked a noble lady who had just finished worshipping, and saw that she was dressed luxuriously and accompanied by a maid, who must have come from a famous family.

The noble lady glanced at her lightly, and then looked her up and down, and then slowly replied: "The Dragon King Tower has never been allowed to enter people, so we have to worship here." ”

Hua Jiu was a little puzzled, he didn't let people in, why were so many people kowtowing outside?

Xu saw her doubts, and the noble lady said: "Legend has it that the Dragon King once appeared here, so the locals built the Dragon King Tower and the Dragon King Temple here to pray to him and pray for blessings. There is another statue of the dragon king in the dragon king tower, which is rumored to be the real body of the dragon king, so the dragon king tower does not give anyone entry, one is afraid of disturbing the dragon king's rest, and the other is a kind of respect for the dragon king. ”

Hua Jiu nodded, she understood the roughly, but then she had a headache again, how could she get in?

Hey, who let himself say a big thing in front of Lou Xiaoyue, and he doesn't want to be looked down upon by him, he must steal a treasure tonight.

The night soon came, the sky is a half-round crescent moon, surrounded by layers of clouds and mist with a mysterious atmosphere, the soft moonlight is just sprinkled on the body of the Dragon King Tower, which looks extremely ancient and beautiful.

Hua Jiu was sitting on a Bodhi tree in the courtyard of the Dragon King Temple at this time, holding his hands on his chest, and staring at the tower opposite. After an afternoon of observation, she found that the monks in the temple would come to clean the Dragon King Pagoda every other hour, but they only cleaned the outside of the tower for a week, but they did not see the door at the entrance open for a long time.

There is no entrance to the first floor except for one door, while several windows are wide open on the second floor. Hua Jiu pondered, if the door really couldn't be opened, she climbed up to the second floor and jumped directly through the window.

It may be because of the night, the surroundings are surprisingly quiet, Hua Jiu saw that there was no one around the Dragon King Tower, so he immediately jumped down from the tree and walked over. After climbing the stairs, she finally came to the entrance of the tower.

"Squeak—"

Gently pushed the door, the door opened a crack, she was startled, thinking that the door was not locked, but then she saw a large lock locked from the inside, and immediately wondered, how did this lock in?

She touched her chin and pondered for a moment, then she pulled a slender copper wire from her waist, inserted it into the keyhole and began to tinker.

Just then, she heard a slight sound of footsteps approaching, as if there was more than one person.

Not good, someone is coming!

Immediately, she turned and ran towards the back of the tower, and then she rolled over and lay down in the grass beside her, completely hiding herself in the night.

Four or five black-clad masked men followed, looking very strange and sneaky, and at first glance they looked like vice-thieves. Hua Jiu quietly peeked in the grass, guessing that they should be the men he met in the teahouse during the day. At that time, I heard them talk about the Dragon King Temple, presumably coveting the treasure that the queen had just paid tribute.

The men whispered for a while, then took out the guy and began to pick the lock, and the sound of 'click-click' spread around the silence, and after a few moments, a 'squeak' was heard, the sound of the door opening.

The thieves looked at each other, looked around, and then walked in one after the other.

Great, someone opened the door, so that he could save himself and open the door slowly, Hua Jiu thought secretly, and then slowly got up and walked in after them.
