Chapter 235: Watching the Gate Arhat

"What now? It's that kind of thing again, and the doors and walls really can't stop these things. Yun Ximing said.

"What else can I do, hurry up and find a way to get out." Annoyed, Dazhe began to knock on the door behind him, but the door did not react in the slightest.

"Fatty, don't do this kind of indifferent thing, if you don't have a brain, you can go to the side and cool off, don't make a mess here." Yun Ximing said angrily.

"Yin Yin, take a closer look here, don't you feel a little familiar?" Min Lan said.

I listened to Min Lan's suggestion and began to take a good look at the courtyard and the stone formation, there was a platform under our feet, made of wood, only a few steps away from the stone formation below, the wooden floor under the stone formation, and beyond the corridor and cloister we passed through when we came, but there were no stairs there, and it seemed that the terrain was lower than ours. The whole courtyard looks a little weird.

"Isn't that a bit weird?" Min Lan asked.

"There is a little, but I can't say what it is." I say.

"And from the moment I walked by, I noticed that there seemed to be a strange smell in the air." Min Lan said.

When she said this, I also felt that I thought that the air quality in the ancient tomb was not good, but now I feel that there is indeed a different smell here than the main house before.

"You say yes, what does it smell like?" I asked, although the tomb was lit with cold lights, the visibility was still not high, and I couldn't see anything suspicious in the air.

"I'll take a look." Min Lan said and took a step. was immediately grabbed by Dazhe.

"You don't want to die? That's on the other side. Dazhe said nervously.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Min Lan waved her hand and walked down cautiously, she walked to the edge of the stone henge and squatted down, carefully observed on the ground, and used her hand to pick up a little dust on the ground to study, and after a while, she walked up.

"How?" I asked.

"It's strange, it's incense ash, and there's a thick layer of dust on the wooden floor of the stone henge below. But underneath the dust is incense ash. When we walked around just now, when the stone henge changed, it brought up a lot of dust on the ground, and the incense ash also floated up. We smelled a strange smell. It's the smell of incense ash. Min Lan said.

"Incense ash?! If you say that..."Yun Ximing said hesitantly.

"I see." I say. "It's just the same altar as the antechamber, a bigger altar. It has wooden floors, which are similar to the wooden basins we saw before. These stone statues are placed on a wooden floor. Isn't it like putting it in a wooden basin? The inexplicable terrain on our side is higher, like an altar, that is, the kind of incense case, there are so many incense ashes below, obviously a larger sacrifice has been carried out, this is a sacrifice field, and there is only one ghost glaze sacrificed, a larger ghost glaze. I said.

Yun Ximing gasped beside me, Uncle Lu's face became even more ugly, and Dazhe asked in a low voice behind him.

"Without adding to the chaos, can I ask what will happen to us if this ghost glaze comes? Isn't it going to die ugly? ”

"What can't die, shut your crow's mouth." Min Lan said tabooly.

"I don't think so." I said calmly.

"How do you know?" Wu Teng suddenly asked behind me.

"The ghost glaze only likes those stone statues, so they don't come here at all, and the people who built this place just want the ghost glaze to sink down and cover those stone statues, so that even if we finally know which statue is correct, we can't see the movement of the stone statue, let alone know where the correct statue is. We don't know when this ghost glaze will leave, and maybe by the time it does, we'll be trapped here. I said.

"Is this too shady? Can't we get this thing out of the way like we did before? Dazhe asked.

"The statue on the ground can't be picked up, the designer is by no means a fool, if you don't believe it, Lin Zhuang, you go down and try it." I say.

Lin Zhuang jumped down, picked up the statue closest to him, and used all his strength, but the statue naturally did not move.

"I can't pick it up." Dazhe sighed.

"I want to know, what is the control of such a heavy stone statue, there doesn't seem to be any track on it, and these things don't come out early or late, but they come out when we exceed the number of times, how is this controlled?" Min Lan said.

"I don't know, all I can say is don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, or maybe it's not man-made at all." I say.

"Yin, the ghost glaze is getting closer, we must find the correct statue before this thing completely covers the statue." Yun Xian prompted.

"Of course I know, but I don't know which one it is, Ximing, what are the names of those Arhats? Is it possible that there are any clues? I asked.

"Rohan? Let me think about it, there are a total of eighteen Arhats, in addition to the ones we have encountered before and the ones that have just turned, there are a few others, they are called, Arhats across the river. Yun Ximing pointed to the one on the far edge of the first row. He pointed to each Arhat one by one and said the names in turn, "Arhat riding elephant, Arhat probe, Contemplative Arhat, Ear-digging Arhat, Cloth Bag Arhat, Plantain Arhat, Long-eyebrow Arhat, Dragon Descending Arhat, Tiger Arhat, and one is the Gatekeeper Arhat." Watch the door... Janitor... Yin Yin may be the one, the watchman, if he is used as an organ, it would be very appropriate. Yun Ximing said excitedly.

"Watchman? And what's called this? It seems that the Buddha's naming of the Arhats is not very high-grade. Dazhe said, "Are you talking about an Arhat holding the door panel?" I didn't see it? ”

"Of course not!" Yun Ximing denied depressedly, "Watching the door Arhat, a mighty benchmark, vigilant gaze, a Zen staff in his hand, and a brave demon, he is one of the close disciples of Buddha Shakyamuni. He went to various places to make connections, and often called the people in the house with his fists to come out and give alms. Once, because of the decay of someone's house, he accidentally smashed it, and as a result, he had to apologize and admit his mistake. Later, he went back and asked the Buddha, and the Buddha said, I will give you a tin rod, you will go to the fate in the future, you don't need to knock on the door, use this tin rod to shake on the door of others, people who are destined will open the door, if you don't open the door, it is a person who is not fate, and it is better to go to another house. It turned out that there were several rings on this tin rod, and when it was shaken, it made the sound of tin. When they heard the voice, they opened the door. So he was also called the watchman, but he had a scepter in his hand, over there, the one in the corner. Yun Ximing pointed to the statue farthest away from us.

"But this distance..."Uncle Lu said embarrassedly, seeing that the ghost glaze has crossed the border in a large army, if you can't rush there before the ghost glaze, it will be difficult to find the statue of the watchman Arhat, but this distance is really not something that can be caught up in an instant, even if you can rush over, the person who arrives there may not have time to rush back after twisting the mechanism and be swallowed by the ghost glaze, disappearing into the boundless darkness before.

"I'll go." Yun Ximing took a step forward as he spoke, but was pulled back by a hand.

"I'll go." It turned out to be Arrow who said this.

"Arrow?! You—" I was about to stop.

"Believe me, no one is more suitable for this errand than me, you pull me, once the door is opened, pull me out immediately, it will be absolutely fine, and even if there is any eventuality, it is just swallowed by darkness, I have lived for so long, I don't mind consuming it for a few years, waiting for the things to disperse, I will go out naturally, how can you mortal bodies last so long? Trust me, it's fine. Arrow said calmly.

I couldn't find a single rebuttal. Aro smiled, and she waved her arms, and both arms immediately turned into long rattans. She held a rattan stick, and I held it firmly in my hand, and I would never let go, I said to myself. Aro didn't dare to hesitate, turned his head and jumped out, I watched her land on the statue of the Keeper Arhat, but in the next second, the boundless darkness swallowed her along with the statue.

"1,2,3,4..."I was silent in my mind for a few seconds, but this was just a sign of nervousness, and I didn't know how many to count, but at this time, there was a rumbling sound behind me, and the door behind me slowly opened, and Ah Luo succeeded, and I saw Wu Teng the first to dodge and walk in. I didn't dare to slack off and quickly pulled the rattan in my hand, and Yun Ximing also came to help, but the two of us were flashed, and the rattan in my hand suddenly loosened, and Yun Ximing and I fell to the ground, only half a rattan in our hands, and the rattan was broken.

"Aro—" I cried out loudly, my voice drowned out in the endless darkness of the ghost's body.

Yun Ximing was standing beside me, he probably knew that I wouldn't give up so easily, "Take everyone over first." He said to Li Yunxian, Yunxian hesitated, Dazhe patted him on the shoulder, and he didn't hesitate anymore and led everyone in. I stood still, staring at the darkness, imagining that in the next second a dexterous figure would leap in front of me.

The rumbling sound sounded again, and Yun Ximing took my hand, "Yin Yin, let's go, the door is going to be closed." I nodded, followed behind Yun Ximing, and when I walked to the door, I stopped and pushed Yun Ximing over.

"I can't leave Aro alone." I say it with certainty. Seeing that the stone gate had already fallen halfway, Yun Ximing shouted like crazy on the other side. Suddenly, I felt a gust of wind blowing in my ears, and the miraculous Arrow suddenly appeared in front of me.

"Arrow—" I said incoherently with excitement.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry over." Arrow said.

On the other side, Yun Xian and Xi Ming also saw A Luo, "Lin Zhuang! Yun Xian shouted. Lin Zhuang immediately rushed over and tried to hold the stone gate with his hand, but the stone gate was heavy and couldn't stop it at all, just paused slightly, this was enough, and Ah Luo and I all shrank in a flash. The stone door slowly closed behind us.

I quickly checked on Aro, and there didn't seem to be any problem with him. "How did you get out?" I asked worriedly, and Aro looked at me and said slowly.

"It's an old ghost!" (To be continued......)
