The entire Futu Palace became extremely bright at this time, like a bright star blooming in the night, condescending to the world. The sky lanterns fluttering around echo its light, and the flames are blazing in the red rice paper when the snow falls.

The viewer standing on a high place can clearly see that at this time, outside the eighth floor of the Jiuchen Pavilion, a man in black is hanging in the air with his entire body hanging in the air with a cloud of flying snow, and a pair of long arms tightly bound by mink brocade clothes are like a pair of golden hooks with good stability, pulling his sturdy figure up little by little.

On the cold and biting white jade railing, layers of thick snow flew down from his palm, swept across his cold cheeks, and looked in the direction of the broken snow.

The winders stammered, shocked by the sight before them, they had never seen such a scene. Shocked by the magnificent spectacle of the Futu Palace, they only regarded the man as a part of the wonder. Accompanied by the nine-story pavilion, the peripheral light flickered and dimmed, the four corners of the cornices and bells swayed, the colors fluttered, and the lights were brilliant, and they were all fascinated.

However, some ordinary people who are hostile to the country seem to have forgotten the habits they have developed for more than ten years, facing the Futu Palace, kneeling on the ground one after another, and chanting over and over again: "Ten thousand Buddhas are coming, keep me peaceful; Ten thousand Buddhas are coming, keep me peaceful; Ten thousand Buddhas, keep me peaceful......"

There are also some people who weep bitterly, and their voices are like a bamboo stick, and the heavy snow sinks inch by inch, all because of the repeated prostrations, and their mouths are reciting a long series of incomprehensible Buddhist verses, whose tone is sad, more like a cuckoo crying blood, obviously, they are all mourning for their dead relatives and friends.

The wind-permeable ragged shirt was ruthlessly ravaged by the wind and snow. The young, because of the snow-white head, drooping old; The old man, with snow sideburns and a cane, is about to die.

However, this scene is hidden in the shadows, so dense that it is not easy for people to notice. In the snow and wind, the solemn Buddha light guided away a piece of piety and compassion again and again. The only thing that responded to them was the faint sound of the bell.

A quarter of an hour ago, Jiang Li, who was on the second floor of Jiuchen Pavilion, was not as excited as those wind people outside.

After leaving the underground palace, he swore that he was ready to fly directly to the second and third floors...... The ninth floor, but the grotesque thing is that the external structure of the Jiuchen Pavilion is very strange, one to eight floors, its exterior has no foothold, all are closed structures.

In addition, after the underground palace began to operate, the intricate mechanisms in the entire Jiuchen Pavilion began to be driven, which made the situation inside each floor even more complicated. Jiang Li was not very familiar with the specific structure of Jiuchen Pavilion, so as soon as he entered the pavilion, it was like entering an intricate labyrinth, and this labyrinth was still running and changing from time to time.

At the same time, he is also facing a killer summoned by the north and the south. However, from breaking through the Eighteen Arhat Formation to punching the masked Ouchi master, this group of killers is not an opponent at all. After a while, he broke into the eighth layer, and learned from the monks guarding the eighth layer that the entrance mechanism of the ninth layer was heavy, and the number of people guarding the ninth layer was large, thinking about breaking through several layers in a row, the physical strength had been consumed a lot, and the top priority was to activate the ultimate mechanism, if he had been repeatedly dragged by people from the north and south, I was afraid that he would miss the best time to assassinate Emperor Mocang, so he simply avoided the first entrance and entered the ninth layer from the desperate railing of the ninth floor.

He left his eyes wide open and rolled over from the desperate railing. When you first enter the ninth floor, the only thing that is gratifying is that the ninth floor is very well closed, and its interior is much warmer than the outside, so you don't have to fight in the wind and snow. But after entering the ninth floor, he soon found that his physical condition was not optimistic, and he had to stop and breathe after running a few steps on the secluded corridor, after all, after several fights, he would carry out high-risk activities such as aerial rock climbing, even if his body was iron, it was also the end of the crossbow at this moment.

Jiang Li was very worried that in such a state, he would not be able to confront the guards of the ninth layer and the wind people of the Blazing Cloud Palace. As soon as the group of guards on the eighth layer mentioned the matter of the ninth layer, their faces turned pale and frightened. Regardless of whether it is the other party's trick or not, but the ninth layer is the location of the ultimate organ, it must also be the most dangerous place, if it is a head-to-head confrontation with the guards of the ninth layer, in this complex environment, they will only be like a fish in water, and their chances of winning will be very small, it is necessary

Adjust your strategy......

The overhead layer is staggered, on the ink blue ink base map, the golden Pisces hidden under the blue lotus are like water faintly jumping on the paper, the special paper is in the place where the candle does not shine with a thin halo, the halo is like the light of the cold moon in a round old well with a shallow ripple, take a closer look, the lingering Pisces become a little smart.

Quietly lowered his eyes and looked down, and at the edge of the aperture reflected under his feet, there were two black shadows of fish tails swaying silently, and he was amazed, and traced back to the source again, and when he raised his eyes, the brightly colored Pisces completely disappeared!

Jiang Li drooped his heavy eyelids and shook his head again, trying to sober himself up. Leaning on the colorful red wall, winding up along the cramped passage, the huge overhead layer covers the already not very bright passage very dark, and the steady steps are much lighter.

After confirming that there was no one around, he shrank his body and climbed over the corridor against the ground, and finally, he was leaning on a huge wide and round red column, and temporarily leaned on it to give him a temporary respite.

The same size and number of red pillars are found on each floor, and the balustrade engraved with the Buddha lotus and ninety-nine red pillar circles are circled around to form a huge circle around the circular corridor inside the attic on each floor. This kind of circular tulou-style building originating from Nanjing is made of fine century-old wood and glazed tiles, and the enclosed structure is conducive to resisting the invasion of natural disasters and also plays a certain role in preventing the enemy's planned invasion.

Jiang Li raised his head and looked up, a vast night sky seemed to be bound in a ring, endless snow fell from the sky, and the top of the attic seemed to be covered with a bottomless salt jar, and the snow coming from the sky was like a delicate or flakes of white salt, which was flying wantonly.

At this time, all the red lights on the pillars from the first to the ninth floor were lit, and the outline of the small Buddha statue set up on the outermost cornices in an orderly manner dozens of feet away from him was clearly visible. These Buddha statues have the same posture and expression, all of them are tall and upright and angry, and when they are unbelievable, their eyes fall closer again.

Sure enough, it's not a coincidence. The glazed tiles spread out from the eighth layer are layered on top of each other, and against the backdrop of the snow, they are crystal clear, like the tears left by a beauty. There are also small Buddha statues on the cornices on the outer layer, but the posture and expression of these Buddha statues are completely different from those on the ninth floor, and they all bend down at the same time to look down at every move downstairs, their lips are not tight, but they seem to be surprised by something.

Immediately, the eyes of the Buddhas descended, the seventh and sixth...... There are similar Buddha statues on the cornices of the second layer, because of the angle and distance, its appearance is difficult to see clearly, only the bright and fantastic blazing cloud hall is buried in a deep valley by layers of snow curtains, the confusion in between, when it is bright, it is like a gushing streamer, the whole building is illuminated like day, when it is dark, it is like a Buddha lotus with the last touch of sunset at dusk, it is in full bloom and gathers, and slowly absorbs all the brilliance.

The hesitation of the clues overpowered the shock of the grand scene, and Jiang Li turned his head and thought hard, the Buddha statues with different expressions were undoubtedly the biggest doubts he had encountered at present.

The architecture of the Futu Palace is quite similar to some buildings in Nanjing, and he has also heard of some principles of its construction, if it is speculated according to the same principle, then the function of these Buddha statues is obviously not used to drain the channel, because these inclined glazed tiles are already natural drainage channels.

Could it be purely decorative? Judging from the various strange scenery he saw along the way, the possibility of these equally strange Buddha statues being used for decoration is also very great.

The clue was broken. Jiang Li's hands were limp on the ground, and his temples were aching, forcing him to temporarily close a pair of heavy eyes, but his mind was still racing, and the scenes he had just encountered were playing backwards...... The Buddha lotus is in full bloom, the streamers converge into points, the flying snow flows back to the sky like water, the moon covers the moonrise, and the clouds are drifting rapidly.

Ninety-nine red columns.

The picture is fixed at the moment when there are ninety-nine red pillars, and he will immediately open his eyes, and he looks around at the red pillars that are not moving again, and confirms again and again that the top of these red pillars is facing those small Buddha statues, so that the Buddha statues on each layer are also ninety-nine.

It's no surprise that this pavilion is already huge, supported by ninety-nine red columns

But if the number of these Buddha statues is ninety-nine, then the meaning is different.

Before he was born, Buddhism was spread among the people of Nanjing, and as a native of Nanjing, he was no stranger to some of the sayings of Buddhism. Although it is difficult for him to spit out a thing or two about the profundity, there is a common folk saying that he remembers very clearly.

Buddha language cloud: Ninety-nine return to one, and finally achieve positive results.

Although all the Buddha statues have different shapes, as long as you look closely, you can see that the direction they are facing is actually converged at one point, if you pull a thread from each Buddha statue, then all the threads will eventually intertwine in a blazing cloud hall.

These Buddha statues are not so much decoration, but more like institutions.

So, where is the mechanism that controls these little Buddha statues?

Jiang Li couldn't help but look up at the pattern of the ninth layer again, and the confusion in his eyes was like a continuous stream of snow falling one after another.

When his eyes swept over the row of attics upstairs, a figure appeared. At a glance, the man was dressed in armor, and his hat covered his entire face, and such a costume would not be unfamiliar, it should be a hidden guard.

Away from the line of sight, the brain spun rapidly. When he hesitated, who expected that a pair of eagle eyes had already locked him firmly, and although his entire body was hidden in the red pillar and the darkness, it was already exposed in great detail at this moment.

I'm afraid that the black-armored guard has already discovered his traces.

No longer hesitated, he leaned on the pillar to support his body as heavy as stone clay, and then walked out of the outer edge of the pillar, raised his head and shouted at the black-armored guard: "We will leave here, we will make a decision!" ”

The voice echoed in the pavilion for a long time, but there was no response.

Jiang Li originally wanted to use himself as bait to lure the black armor guard down, but obviously the other party ignored him.

If you refuse to come down, there must be a ghost in it. I had no choice but to grit my teeth, settle down, pedal on the railing, cling to the pillar, climbed the railing of the previous floor, and then flipped over the trend, and jumped to the top after a while.

The last foothold was the corridor, and when he raised his eyes and glanced at it, the black armor guard directly opposite seemed to be preparing to escape, so he followed the circular corridor and chased after him.

Lu Fei, whose feet were like horses, saw that the distance between the two of them was getting closer and closer, and at this time, the black-armored guard actually stopped in place, and a hook suddenly flew out of his hand, and the arc about eighteen feet long flashed away, and the hook was firmly attached to the railing of the upper layer, like a spider spitting out silk threads.

Before he could catch up, the black-armored guard flew up to the last floor of the ninth floor with the hidden line drawn by the hook.

His deep eyes darkened again, and he locked his target onto the railing, stepping on the railing and trying to get above it.

Unexpectedly, when the light of the Blazing Cloud Hall dimmed, the entire lamp tower seemed to have changed, and the wrong place to settle down made him suddenly empty under his feet and almost fall.

The loss was so fast that he grabbed a piece of red silk hanging down, and the whole person was almost hung in the air.

He took the golden dart he had prepared in his mouth, freed his other hand, and climbed left and right alternately, barely climbing a little, and then swinging his body a little more, swinging in mid-air to the nearest red pillar.

Holding the pillar with both legs, the center of gravity was just stable, and the red silk was overwhelmed, dragging a few lanterns on it, and sliding all the way down the glazed tiles on the eighth floor, and finally fell to the bottom of the light tower.

At this time, Jiang Li had already flown up to the top along the pillar, and there was a circular corridor at his feet. He snapped the golden dart back into his hand and walked in the direction of the black guard's escape. He slowed his steps, held his breath, and tried not to make a noise. But as soon as he took a few steps, a cold light suddenly appeared above his head. Fortunately, Jiang Li was prepared and flew out of the golden dart in his hand.

The golden dart was originally one, but under the shadow of the light downstairs, when it flew out, it conjured up more than a dozen small golden darts.

The black defense cloak swept away, and the real golden dart was slashed to the ground, and Jiang Li took the opportunity to jump out of the danger zone, ready to use the golden dart again.

The black-armored guard who was dormant on the overhead floor at the top of the corridor lost his center of gravity because he was eager to defend, and fell straight from the beam of the overhead floor to the corridor.
