Zhang Meng and the fat man thought that they had entered an old pagoda, but when the two opened the stone door and really walked in, they found that this pagoda was not as simple as it seemed from the outside. ← the top of the novel, usually the pagoda may be used to store the Buddha's bone relics when the monk passed away, or some Buddhist scriptures, robes and other valuables, but this pagoda not only stores a lot of Buddha statues, even the structure of the pagoda is also reversed.

The pagoda in front of me is an upside-down pagoda, from the light of the wolf's eye flashlight, the place where Zhang Meng and the fat man are standing should be the first floor, the first floor is very large, the square circle is as big as a basketball court, and the more you shine down, you will find that the narrower it is. And all around the stupa are full of Buddha statues, no, to be exact, all kinds of statues.

Without this spiraling staircase, it would be more like a naturally formed crater.

This is supposed to be an old stupa.

It's just that for a while, neither of them can see through what is famous in this pagoda!

The main reason is that there are many kinds of pagodas, which can be divided into 37-storied pagodas, 17-storied pagodas, 15-storied pagodas, 13-storied pagodas, nine-storied pagodas, seven-storied pagodas, five-storied pagodas, and three-storied pagodas. It can also be divided into square tower, round tower, hexagonal tower and octagonal tower from the shape of the tower. It can also be divided into relics pagodas, hair pagodas, tooth pagodas, and so on. It can also be divided according to building materials and so on, but there are too many to see through if you are not an archaeologist who specializes in this.

"However, the most primitive state of the stupa is the clothed mound in our tombs in the Central Plains, but later under the influence of Japan, all kinds of beautiful stupas began to form in Asia. In a sense, this thing is actually a tomb, no wonder Ouyang can find this place by means of searching for dragon points. The fat man said.

The two of them did a brief search on it, and after finding the footprints of Ouyang and Lady Na, they didn't put on gas masks, and walked down the spiral staircase inside the pagoda little by little.

Because someone had already been here beforehand, Zhang Meng and the fat man were not too afraid of poisonous gas and organs.

After all, according to normal thinking, Buddhism pays attention to the universality of sentient beings, compassion and compassion, and monks will not put some harmful traps in their pagodas.

But the further down they go, the more incredible Zhang Meng and the fat man feel, because the Buddha statues arranged on both sides of the spiral staircase are not Buddha statues at all, except for the four King Kongs on the stone gate before, none of the things here look like Buddhas.

"Fatty, I don't think we're on the right path." Zhang Meng said.

"Hmm." The fat man also noticed the strangeness of these statues, and nodded with a pale face: "Damn! I heard Laizi say before that these four vajra were originally born on a small mountain in India, and because of a coincidence, they worshipped Shakyamuni as their teacher, and they were named the four protectors of the Vajra by Shakyamuni. Not only that, but it is rumored that one hundred and ten of their descendants later became Dharma Protector Vajra, and even the famous Veda is their descendant. It stands to reason that since the stone gate is engraved with the four King Kongs, it must be the Buddha who guards it, how can he guard these messy things? This...... What the fuck is this? ”

Zhang Meng was also puzzled: "Although I don't understand the pagoda, there is no reason why there are statues of these animals inside the pagoda." ”

As Zhang Meng said, as he and the fat man walked down, the stairs of the stupa were lined with strange animal statues, such as cows, horses, sheep, lions, and tigers...... There are so many species that almost all the animals you know. Not only that, but these animals are also carved vividly, biting each other, attacking, and pounced, which looks terrifying.

It's like deducing the laws of survival in the natural world, how can there be a little bit of Buddhist compassion.

"It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense." The fat man shook his head vigorously, touched his head and said: "But this upside-down pagoda is already weird, and some strange statues in it are normal, and now the little lady and the military brother are not here, let's be careful." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Meng made up his mind and followed the fat man to continue walking.

However, the statues around are also more bloody.

In addition, the environment here is very cold, damp, dimly lit, and from time to time there will be one or two drops of water falling on the top of the head, which makes Zhang Meng and the fat man have an immersive feeling. If it weren't for the handrails on the spiral staircase down, the two of them would have been so frightened that they would have rolled all the way down.

Fortunately, this feeling did not last long, and the statues of the fighting animals finally disappeared, and in their place were several tall and holy Buddhist bodhisattvas.

These statues are different from the previous animal statues, which were all small and fought each other and shed blood, while these statues are more like those enshrined in temples, all of them are large statues, one after another.

These Bodhisattva statues, Zhang Meng can still distinguish clearly from the physiognomy, the first one, Zhang Meng recognizes the most clearly, this is obviously the only female Bodhisattva in Buddhism, Guanyin Bodhisattva. Most of the other two Bodhisattvas beside him are also the same as Guanyin, very kind, with a slight smile on the corner of their mouths. Obviously, it should be the two bodhisattvas Manjushri and Puxian.

If there are no animal statues before, and he sees the Bodhisattva in front of him directly, Zhang Meng will not have so many doubts, after all, it is normal to place some Buddha statues inside the pagoda, but those animal statues with rivers of blood can't let Zhang Meng go.

The fat man had no choice but to joke: "The burial in this pagoda is definitely not a high monk, this thing can't drink wine and eat meat before he is alive, but after he dies, he carved so many animals, that is to have a good time!" Not a good thing, definitely not a good thing. ”

Zhang Meng ignored the fat man's nonsense and continued to walk down.

Surprisingly, just when Zhang Meng thought that there would be some Buddhist scriptures, robes and other things stored below, he found that not only did he not have the things that should be in the pagoda, but even those Bodhisattva statues were gone, replaced by the strange statues from before, but this time the core of the statue was no longer those animals, but instead became a group of small ghosts with pointed ears and grinning teeth.

Seeing the statue reappearing in front of him, the fat man was speechless, and suddenly, as if he remembered something, he suddenly looked up at the first layer of the tower, but as if he heard countless beasts roaring below.

"It's not good, the place we just walked through is the beast road!" The fat man shouted.
