Chapter 41: Flowers Are Not Flowers, Fog Is Not Fog (1)

Going down from the dark passage, there is a zigzag stone staircase, and the stone steps have a thin layer of green moss on them because they have been in a dark and damp environment for many years. When you step on it, you have a slippery and greasy feeling.

The space above the stone steps is very narrow, and people must bend down to pass through it.

The monks of Jinguang Temple, under the leadership of the abbot of Xiuneng, together with the members of the team, carefully descended to the bottom of the stone steps.

Everyone's eyes suddenly opened up, and what appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a spacious limestone karst cave, with various stone pillars, stone curtains, stone flowers, stalagmites, stalactites and other landscapes all over the cave.

At the top of the cave, from time to time, water droplets drip down along the stalactites hanging on the top of the cave, stacked in the puddles at the bottom of the cave below, splashing small splashes. The sound of water droplets lingering in the cave, making the cave more and more calm and quiet.

According to the abbot of Xiuneng, this cave was originally a place for the retreat and cultivation of the senior monks of Jinguang Temple. At first, the cave was relatively dry, but later, with a strong earthquake, the cave became larger and larger, and the landscape inside the cave began to change, gradually evolving into its current appearance.

At this time, everyone is not in the mood to enjoy the wonders of the cave. Under the guidance of the abbot of Hueneng, everyone followed the flow of a small stream formed by the dripping water in the cave, and walked for about half an hour, when a bright light appeared in front of them, and at the same time, the sound of a huge flow of water came over, and it seemed that the entrance of the cave was not far away.

Further on, the sound of the water cascading turned into a loud roar. The entrance of the cave is hidden in the waterfall that rushes down in front of you.

"Old hero, this creation of nature is really amazing, amazing!" Luo Shiyin wanted to ease the dull atmosphere, so he admired the spectacle in front of him.

"Yes, this is also the heavens who have mercy on us and other beings, so they left me and others this way of escape. Amitabha, good, good! "Hunneng reverently folded his hands and chanted the Buddha's name.

There is an artificially excavated stone gate on the stone wall on the left side of the cave. Everyone meandered down the stone steps outside the stone gate, and from time to time there were waterfall splashing droplets falling down, drilling into everyone's neck, cool, making people feel cool and comfortable.

The powerful impact of the waterfall creates a deep pool at the bottom of it, and the water is dark and green.

The water from the waterfall is filtered and precipitated by a deep pool, and then overflows from a piece of bluestone hidden by greenery and flows into a small river at the bottom of the valley.

"There is a small bridge not far ahead, and after crossing the bridge and bypassing the Chiyan Peak, you can walk out of the mountain." The abbot of Huneng introduced Luo Shiyin.

"Can you cross the Red Eye Peak before dark?" Luo Shiyin asked the abbot of Hueneng.

"If you pick up the pace and everything goes well, it's okay." Hunnen replied as he walked.

The path at your feet winds north with a small river at the bottom of the valley on the right, and the plants on the right side of the path grow lush and vigorous due to the moisture of the river, while the plants on the left side near the mountain are mostly low and thin.

From the sky above the location of the Golden Light Temple in the southwest, a thick black smoke went straight into the clouds.

"Amitabha, sin and sin!" Xiu Neng led the monks to face the southwest, folded his hands, and said it in his mouth.

Luo Shiyin and other members of the team also faced the southwest and bowed their heads in mourning. A heavy heart was written on the faces of each of the squad members.

Although the detachment did not lose any soldiers and soldiers in Pyongyang this time, the Korean people who helped them paid sacrifices, first Zheng Zai and his wife, and then the destruction of the Jinguang Temple.

"Let's go, there's an earthen bridge ahead." The abbot urged everyone to hurry.

The earthen bridge is a wooden pontoon bridge, and when the river that flows from the direction of the waterfall arrives, the river has become wider, and the whole pontoon bridge looks about 100 meters long.

The river is not deep, and the river surface is overgrown with banana grass, willow and other aquatic plants.

Standing on this side of the river, the Red Eye Peak on the opposite bank is clearly visible, and the high peak looks abrupt under the blue sky.

"Kong Ming, you and Seyi and Huiguang will open the way in front, and the three of you are responsible for not resenting, recalling, and righteous cultivation. Everyone crossed the river in a row of three in a row. "Before going to the bridge, the abbot of Huneng instructed the accompanying disciples.

Due to the narrowness of the pontoon, only three people could barely pass at the same time.

The members of the squad and the monks of Jinguang Temple lined up in a long line according to Xiu Neng's instructions, and cautiously walked on the pontoon bridge to the opposite bank.

After walking less than a third of the way on the pontoon, Xiu Neng and Luo Shiyin and others suddenly felt that their vision was blurred.

It's foggy!

Suddenly, a thick haze rose over the river on both sides of the pontoon.

"Supposedly the river rarely gets foggy this season?" Hugh muttered in confusion.

Hearing Xiu Neng's words, Luo Shiyin, who was walking beside Xiu Neng, immediately became alert. He stopped and looked carefully at the river on either side.

The thick fog continued to rise from the surface of the river, and under the fog shrouded in the river, you could vaguely see scarlet flowers floating on the water, the flowers were arranged regularly on both sides of the pontoon, appearing and disappearing in the mist, like a pair of bloodthirsty eyes of wild wolves in the dark night.

Something is not good!

Luo Shiyin hurriedly ordered everyone to stop advancing.

At this moment, the jumping frenzy beside Bau became manic, and it repeatedly ran to the edges of the two sides of the pontoon, its eyes staring at the river in horror, and its mouth constantly making "hissing" sounds.

"Whoosh ......" Just when everyone was puzzled, more than a dozen poisonous arrows shot out from the scarlet flowers on the river surface. Kong Ming and more than a dozen other warrior monks, who were walking in front, couldn't dodge, and were shot in the throat by the fast-coming poisonous arrows, and they fell into the water one after another.

"Ninja Blowing!"

Ye Ruliu was the first to see the clues, when she was dealing with the Japanese in the southeast coastal area, she had learned the Japanese ninja's blowing arrow kung fu.

The blow arrow is actually a weapon that fires poisonous needles, which is a sharp weapon commonly used by Japanese ninjas, and it is shaped like a bamboo flute, containing poisonous needles. After special internal qi operation training, the user can blow the poisonous needle in the bamboo flute dozens of feet away, and it has a strong lethality.

"The flower in the water must have been cleverly modified, with a bamboo pipe attached to it, and the ninja used it to shoot poison needles." Ye Ruliu didn't wait for everyone to ask, so he took the initiative to introduce to Luo Shiyin, "There must be a ninja lurking under each flower, who uses the water escape technique of the Five Elements Escape Technique to lurk underwater, waiting for an opportunity to attack us. If you look closely, there is a bamboo pipe next to each flower on the river, which is used by ninjas to breathe in water. ”

"How do you crack it?" Hunneng asked Ye Ruliu anxiously.

"As long as you find a way to pull out the bamboo tube they use to breathe, they will show their original form." Ye Ruliu said.

How can I unplug the bamboo pipe of a water ninja? Everyone was in trouble. The place where the ninjas were lurking was about three or four meters away from the pontoon bridge, and none of the weapons used by the people on the bridge could reach it.

From time to time, poisonous arrows from the water are fired. Everyone can only use the weapons in their hands to fight hard. Several warrior monks of Jinguang Temple were unfortunately shot by poisonous arrows and fell into the water.

If you can't cross the bridge as soon as possible, once the Japanese soldiers behind chase you along the secret passage in the temple, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Let me come!" Just when everyone was at a loss, Bau volunteered and stood up. I saw him untie his weapon from his waist, separate the people, and run to the front of the procession.

The weapons used by Bau have not been introduced to you in the previous article. Bau not only has his own unique martial arts, the lion's roar, but also has his own unique weapons. The origin of his weapon has to start from the fact that he just joined the Sichuan Jinyi Guard. We know that Bau entered the Jinyiwei team after Luo Shiyin's special approval, and when he first met the leader of the Sichuan Jinyiwei, the leader asked him, what martial arts would he have besides the lion's roar? Bau scratched his ears and thought for a long time before he said, does throwing stones count? As soon as these words came out, Deng Shi made all the Jinyi guards present laugh.

Bauton felt the contempt and said angrily, "Don't believe me, I'll throw it at you once." After Bau finished speaking, without waiting for the leader to speak, he took out three pebbles from the backpack on his shoulder, turned around and raised his hand, and a flying stone flew from his hand to the top of a large tree in the courtyard, and a gluttonous finch fell from the treetops.

Good Kung Fu! One of the brocade guards present couldn't help but applaud. But before the brocade guard could finish his applause, two other flying stones flew into the air from Bau's other hand, and two more gluttonous finches were hit by the sound and fell to the ground.

Good! Awesome!

All the brocade guards on the scene erupted in applause.

The leader walked over to Bau and removed the rucksack from Bau's shoulder, revealing that it was full of pebbles.

Bau's flying stone kung fu has not been instructed by anyone. Since he was a child, he often wandered alone in the wilderness, and sometimes when he was bored, he would pick up stones on the ground and throw them at the birds in the trees.

Slowly, Bau's flying stone skills continued to improve, not only to hit the birds parked on the trees, but also to the birds flying in the air, and when he played well, he could also kill two birds with one stone on the birds in the air.

The leader of the brocade guard liked Bau very much, a stunned young man with strange skills, and he led Bau to the armory room, ready to equip Bau with a suitable weapon.

Bau walked around the weapons room, what axes, hooks, forks, knives, guns, swords, halberds, sticks, forks, boring lances, Bau are not rare, but when he saw a weapon in the corner, Bau immediately fell in love with it.
