[161] Ancient temple suspicions
Click
The stone door, which had been sealed in the dust for I don't know how many years, suddenly opened a crack in the door.
Suddenly, a thick cloud of smoke rolled in, and a group of four people standing outside the stone gate quickly dodged to the side to prevent the smoke and dust from being poisonous and inhaling into their hearts.
Woooooooo
The wind flow from inside the ancient temple rubbed against the crack of the door to make a wailing sound, and it can be seen that in the thick smoke, people wrapped in black robes staggered out of the door, mixed with the strong wind.
The four of them couldn't help but widen their eyes suddenly, how could there be anyone
However, within five steps, these black-robed people fell to the ground one after another, and the wind blew up the robes on their bodies, revealing the situation under the robes.
It turned out to be some bones that had been dried and yellowed for many years.
After about half a pillar of incense, all the movement slowly calmed down, and the surroundings returned to calm.
"This ancient temple has been closed for many years, and the internal grievances are not dispersed, wandering in the dark all year round, we will leak the feng shui inside the ancient temple, which is equivalent to breaking the evil, you don't have to worry. A sturdy man took out a feng shui plate and comforted.
"Big brother, but I still think it's weird and evil, is this really the place where the rich man and the rich monk practice as the rumors say. The thin young man standing behind the sturdy man muttered.
His name is Wang Chengze, a treasure dealer in Yangzhou Mansion, who is good at flying claws to retrieve things, climb cliffs and climb dangerous slopes, dig holes, and explore the ground, and is a first-class treasure hunter.
The sturdy man in front of him is called Luo Changbao, who knows feng shui surveying and is actually an internal martial artist, and his favorite thing to do is to go over mountains and mountains, trek mountains and wade everywhere to explore treasures.
The man and woman standing on the other side of the gate of the ancient temple, the man's name is Dong Xing, who knows how to use medical skills, and the woman's name is Hong Jasmine, who has done light work and knows the art of trapping.
These three people are the treasure exploration team that Luo Changbao found and formed, and they run around a lot on weekdays, and they have extremely rich experience.
Once in Jiangnan martial arts, there were three very famous weird brothers.
Their real names have long been remembered, and others only know the well-known nicknames of these three men.
Wealthy, rich, treasure monk.
These three figures are all famous masters in the rivers and lakes, but what is more impressive than their strength is their greed for money.
As long as it is related to making money or even something that is involved, these three people are willing to do it, and over time they have accumulated a lot of wealth.
No one knows how huge this wealth is, but when the rich man, the rich man, and the treasure monk were old, they retired to the rivers and lakes and were never born again.
The people in the rivers and lakes only know that they are hiding somewhere in the south of the Yangtze River, and they have hidden all their wealth savings in the place of cultivation, if anyone can find this place, find that huge amount of gold and silver, and become the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River overnight.
Regarding this rumor, Luo Changbao has been secretly investigating since he entered the treasure exploration industry, some people think that this matter is false, and some are skeptical.
And Luo Changbao is the one who believes in the alternative, in the years of investigation and collection of intelligence information, Luo Changbao finally found the clues, looking for these clues, and finally took the members of his treasure exploration team to find this abandoned ancient temple hidden in the deep mountains and old forests today.
He was very sure in his heart that this place would undoubtedly be the place where the three of them would die of old age, and the wealth that the three of them had accumulated over their lifetimes was hidden in this ancient temple, quietly waiting for the next master to appear.
Seeing that his companions' expressions were very cautious, Luo Changbao took out the large fire fold he carried with him, broke the lid and blew hard.
"I'll go first, and you can hurry up. Luo Changbao pulled the silk mask he was wearing around his neck to the bridge of his nose, and took the lead directly into the door.
Seeing that he had all risked his life, the other three were willing to stay where they were, and after covering their faces one by one with the mask of breath barrier, they followed Luo Changbao's footsteps into the ancient temple.
I don't know how long it has been, the bronze bell with dust several inches thick hanging at the highest place of the ancient temple suddenly rang by itself, and the gloomy bell echoed and spread between the deep mountains, and it did not disappear for a long time.
There was no light in the dark ancient temple, and it was all illuminated by the fire fold in the hands of Luo Changbao and others.
When you enter the door, you will see that behind the door is a lobby with walls on all sides, no tables, chairs, no stairs, and the space is extremely clean.
In the four corners of the lobby, there are four tall stone figures of unknown material, they are holding iron hooks and scissors in both hands, and they are full of iron chains, and their faces are hideous and angry, and they don't know what they are exquisite.
Generally, where this kind of ugly stone statue is placed, there are more or less rules, and Luo Changbao, who knows a little about feng shui, couldn't help but be very puzzled for a while.
"Big brother, this place seems to be so big, there are no doors and windows, no stairs, and the top beam is empty, could it be that there is a secret passage or something. Dong Xing said.
"You first go around to check and check to see if there are any hidden channels or anything like that, be careful, it is rumored that the rich man, the rich man, and the treasure monk are three strange people, and they built an ancient temple here, maybe not for cultivation, but to give it to their own mountain tombs after death. Luo Changbao reminded.
The other three suddenly looked solemn, originally they hadn't thought about it so much, but now listening to Luo Changbao say this, it is not impossible.
So the four of them immediately searched around the lobby, trying to find some valuable finds.
Among the three companions, Luo Changbao is actually the only woman Hong Jasmine, who is proficient in the art of organs, and her vision is different from that of ordinary people, so it is easier to find some details that others can't think of.
Sure enough, when the time for a stick of incense had passed, and Luo Changbao and the others were about to give up, Hong Jasmine finally heard movement.
"Big brother, come over here and have a look. ”
Everyone was in good spirits, and they all ran towards Hong Jasmine's place.
I saw Hong Jasmine squatting next to a triangular irregular floor tile, and as she held a short-handled shovel in her hand and inserted it along the gap in the edge of the floor tile, she immediately pried up the floor tile.
I saw that under the floor tiles, there was a rusty iron box.
Hong Jasmine glanced up at Luo Changbao.
"Crack it, beware of the mechanism in there. Luo Changbao admonished.
Hong Jasmine directly pulled out her hairpin, unscrewed the second half, and several wires appeared in her hands in an instant.
The lock of the iron box has not escaped the ravages of time, when Hong Jasmine inserted the wire into the keyhole, she suddenly felt a lot of resistance, but fortunately, her skills are extraordinary, and she is still skillful in operation.
Suddenly, there was a click, and the lid of the box automatically popped open, Luo Changbao's face changed, and he grabbed Hong Jasmine, who was still squatting next to the iron box, and dodged to the side.
However, the imaginary trap did not appear, Wang Chengze looked at a palm-sized copper coin token in the iron box and said, "Big brother, it's not dangerous, it's just that there is something in the box." ”
Hong Jasmine couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on her forehead, just now the incident happened suddenly, but she didn't react at all, if there was really a trap or something, without Luo Changbao's help, she would definitely die on the spot.
"This thing" Looking at the copper coin token in the box, Luo Changbao suddenly fell into thought, he seemed to have seen this thing somewhere.
"Hey, I just saw a round hole groove on the wall over there, and the size matches this one. Wang Chengze said.
Everyone was in good spirits, as if this was indeed the case, they had just searched the lobby for so long, and they had naturally discovered the existence of that round hole groove.
Luo Changbao said, "Xiao Wang, take this thing over and bring it to the wall to try it." ”
"Yes. Wang Chengze took out the flying claw on his waist and directly grabbed the copper coin token out of the iron box.
Nothing happened, unusually calm.
It seems that there is no mechanism on this copper coin token either.
Everyone walked to the wall with round holes and grooves, and as Luo Changbao put on the golden silk gloves that could insulate any poison, they picked up the copper coin token and stuffed this thing into the groove.
There was no movement.
"Isn't it useless," Wang Chengze scratched his head in confusion.
"Big brother, you turn a few times and try it. Hong Jasmine reminded.
Luo Changbao nodded, and then complied.
Immediately, there was a clattering sound of gears turning in the wall, and with a roar in the lobby, a long slit appeared in the eyes of everyone in an instant, and then slowly separated to the left and right.
Boom boom boom
Dust and smoke billowed and strange smells came to the face.
This is the smell of decay and rotten musty that has been deposited for an unknown number of years.
The crowd quickly held their breath and quickly retreated, trying to distance themselves from the wall that was parting.
After running about seven or eight feet away, everyone stopped, and looked at the wall that had been opened to the limit with solemn eyes.
"Big brother, something is not quite right about the situation in this ancient temple, looking at this heavy partition, it really looks like a mausoleum. Hong Jasmine said with an extremely serious expression.
"The wealth of the rich man, the rich man, and the treasure monk is definitely in it. Luo Changbao said so, but there was an inexplicable depression in his heart.
As a person who has been exploring treasures for many years, he knows that the most taboo in this industry is a greedy word.
Many treasure hunters will lose their lives because of greed, and the current situation of this ancient temple is really beyond Luo Changbao's imagination.
Except for the outer skin of the ancient temple, the interior of this building has nothing to do with the ancient temple at all, and it is completely hidden from people's eyes.
"Let's go, let's go out first. Luo Changbao immediately made a decision, gritted his teeth and said.
But at this moment, the gates of the ancient temple suddenly merged, closing tightly without leaving a single gap, and the moonlight shining in from outside the gate also disappeared immediately, and the entire hall instantly became pitch black, all lit by the fire fold in the hands of Luo Changbao and the four people.
Bang bang
In the passage behind the wall, there was a sudden deafening sound of footsteps, and it was suspected that something was coming out of it, and it was not slow.
Everyone immediately tensed, at this moment, the fire in their hands was so small and faint that it couldn't illuminate the distance at all, but because they were near the only light source in the dark, Luo Changbao and the four of them directly became the most conspicuous and eye-catching existence in the audience.
bang
Suddenly, the footsteps stopped.
There was a dead silence in the entire dark hall.
Not a single one dared to speak, all of them held their breath, and everyone knew that the thing that had come out of the passage must have watched them quietly in the dark.
A peeping creep suddenly swirled around everyone's body.
Knock knock
Dong Xing's hands trembled violently, he could clearly hear the heartbeat coming from his chest, before Luo Changbao spoke, he didn't dare to move at all, he could only stare at the direction of the passage with his eyes to prevent the thing from approaching.
swish
In an instant, a miserable white hungry face suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, the other party's eyes were hollow, there were no eyeballs in the eye sockets at all, but the lips with chapped lips were smiling so eeriely, people couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat, and their whole bodies instantly shivered.
"Ahh
A miserable scream suddenly sounded, Luo Changbao and the others hurriedly heard the sound, and saw Dong Xing being dragged by a white shadow and disappeared directly into the darkness, and the fire fold in his hand fell to the ground, and the fire dimmed after a while, and it almost didn't have the effect of continuing to illuminate.
"Dong Xing Dong Xing"
"Dong Xing, where are you?"
Luo Changbao pulled out the saber at his waist in the blink of an eye and rushed to the place where Dong Xingben was standing, but there was no trace of people around, and there was darkness where he couldn't see his fingers.
"Dong Xing" Luo Changbao wandered around angrily, but he didn't find anything, Dong Xing seemed to have evaporated from the world, and completely disappeared into the lobby.
There is no one in life, and no corpse in death.
"Big brother, is he going to be caught in there? Wang Chengze ran over in a panic with a fire fold, and pointed to the direction of the wall just now.
There is no need to think about it at all, it must be so undoubted.
Luo Changbao's face was gloomy, he never imagined that the enemy would appear so silently, just now there was no more than a long distance between Dong Xing and him, but it was just a blink of an eye, he was captured and disappeared in front of his eyes.
"You all stay close to me, don't have any more accidents, let's go to the gate first and see if we can find a way to reopen that door, and after sending you two out, I'll come back to search and rescue Dong Xing." Luo Changbao said in a low voice.
At present, no one knows what the thing hidden in the darkness is, Wang Chengze and Hong Jasmine are no different in strength from Dong Xing, and if they stay here, even if something happens again, Luo Changbao will not be able to protect them.
So the most important thing at the moment is to send these two to a safe place, Luo Changbao doesn't want to see anyone have an accident anymore.
The three of them walked quickly to the side of the gate, back to back, but at this moment, the huge footsteps from before suddenly sounded again.
Bang bang bang
Luo Changbao could clearly feel that the voice was approaching him and the others.
Suddenly, a huge figure appeared in the darkness beyond the firelight.
