Chapter 38 The Place of the Burial of the Buddha
The group was mighty, but they were wary of each other. Tang Tengfei supported Bai Yetong with one hand while opening the way in front.
"Stop!" Bai Yetong shouted loudly, and everyone quickly stopped, not knowing what was going on. Bai Yetong slowly leaned down, buckled down a piece of dirt and looked at it carefully, and a sand thief asked what was going on behind him.
It turns out that this piece of sand and gravel looks smooth and clean, but it is all soft floating sand underneath. Bai Yetong clapped his hands, secretly saying that he was fortunate to be injured and moved slowly, and when he heard Bai Yetong's explanation, everyone looked at each other and walked away.
Tang Tengfei was thoughtful, for fear that the group would stray into the floating sand or get lost on the way, so he took out a can of red lead lac powder, and took the red powder along the way to open the way, leaving a mark.
On this road, there are many strange stones of different colors, everyone has no intention of appreciating, the people behind carefully look at the path that Bai Yetong has walked, the more later, the more intricate the terrain, sometimes it is clear that it has come to the end of the mountain and stone, but the peak turns around, there is no hidden road.
When it was nearly noon, I suddenly saw two stone walls facing me, the walls stood like a cut, and in the middle was a path four or five feet wide. Everyone walked slowly between the cramped stone walls, and after another hour, the leader of the sand thieves wiped his sweat and couldn't help asking, "How far is it?" Bai Yetong was already angry in his heart, and he didn't reply at this time: "Shut your mouth." The leader had just seen the power of Bai Yetong, and he didn't dare to say more.
Suddenly, everyone walked out from the side of the stone wall, and suddenly their eyes widened, and they saw that there was a flat valley among the countless chaotic peaks.
The bottom of the valley slowly concave, and after the concave bottom, there was a stone mound several feet high rising up, and there was a cave on the mound facing everyone. The hole sinks, and it is pitch black, and when you look at it from this side, you feel unfathomable. There was a stirring in the crowd behind. A few sand thieves did not wait for orders, but they were already running down. Bai Yetong leaned against the stone wall beside him, took a few sips of water, and a strange smile appeared on his face. The leader of the sand thieves vaguely felt that things were a little strange, and said loudly: "Come back quickly!" ”
Two of the tall sand thieves reacted quickly and stopped, but a few of the disobedient ones had already jumped down, and when they landed, the three of them sank and seemed to be stuck in the sand. One of them reacted very quickly, and a bullet jumped, one screamed and screamed, and immediately fell into the mud and sand, and suddenly disappeared, and another person fell into place, but at this time he could not move. Bai Yetong couldn't help but smile coldly and said, "Admire, admire." This group of heroes is really not afraid of death. The leader of the sand thieves glanced at Bai Yetong, and he couldn't get angry, so he had to snort heavily.
A sand thief next to him pulled the leader's sleeve, "Brother Hu Qian, what should we do now?" ”
At this time, Hu Qian frowned and was ruthless, "Regardless of them, let's move on!" ”
Ignoring the horror in the hearts of the sand thieves and the Tang Sect disciples at this time, Bai Yetong put away his smile, leaned down and inserted his hand into the sand, pulled out his hand and inserted it into several directions in a row, picked up a branch on the spot, and slowly moved forward while inserting it into the mud and sand, "Follow me." Slowly, don't push me in! ”
At this time, everyone had a lesson from the past, and they no longer dared to do anything at all.
The group followed slowly, and suddenly a little sand thief grabbed something in his hand, took a closer look, and was suddenly startled: "This ...... What is it?! Hu Qian walked in front of the sand thieves, turned around and looked, and glared at the man: "It's just the bones of dead people, it's not that I haven't seen them." ”
Bai Yetong stepped back and found a white skeleton buried in the yellow sand. The shape of the bones is distorted, and it seems that he has endured great pain and torture in his life.
Bai Yetong put down the white bone and whispered, "This bone is too smooth, isn't it?" Not long after he died. ”
After walking dozens of steps, a stone gate appeared in front of everyone. The stone gate is simple and atmospheric, and there are fine sand flowing on it, as if it was opened not long ago. Bai Yetong groped carefully on the edge of the stone door, and suddenly touched a groove, and suddenly his heart was suddenly pushed, and the door creaked up.
After a puff of dust and smoke settled, a passage appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Hu Qian looked at Bai Yetong and waited for him to continue walking. Bai Yetong flicked his sleeves a few times, coughed a few times, and walked in with the dust.
Bai Yetong lit an oil lamp, and at this time he didn't know if there was oxygen in the cave. Fortunately, there was a lot of air in the cave, and after a few hundred steps, it was still full of fire. This hill is less than ten zhang high, it looks low, but after entering, the cave goes lower and lower, goes deeper and deeper, and what is displayed in front of everyone is an amazing underground culvert, the hole is intertwined, the snake is twisted and turned, although it is difficult to measure its profoundness, and it is not known that it is dense.
Bai Yetong picked up the oil lamp and shouted to the back, "Come here." The corridor opened up in an instant, but the low-lying area was full of corpses and bones, and it was terrifying. A group of people arrived from behind, some Tang Sect disciples almost didn't sit on the ground, Rao is Hu Qian killed people and plundered goods for many years and couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose, the space here is limited, and the corpses have an unpleasant smell, "Why are there so many dead people?" ”
Bai Yetong frowned, "I don't know either. Maybe it's a treasure hunt." Tang Tengkong seemed to look at the corpses around him with palpitations, and said, "What the hell is this?" Seeing the stars twinkling under the white bones, the color was hazy, and he dared to reach out and touch it, and there were two more huge gems in his palm.
The gemstones are even more dazzling and brilliant under the light reflection. There was a burst of exclamation from behind, appearing both surprised and delighted.
There were also a lot of jewels and jade artifacts scattered on the ground, and a few sand thieves immediately rushed forward, picked them up one by one and stuffed them into their bags. Two of them were pulling a package and were about to start moving, Hu Qian got up and went over with a few crisp sounds, and one of them slapped him to the ground, shouting angrily, "Have you forgotten what we're doing here?!" The two of them were beaten by him for a while, their cheeks were red and swollen, and the corners of their mouths were bloody, but even so, they still refused to let go.
At this time, Bai Yetong stood in front of a clearing, glanced forward, and then looked straight to the top of the cave, where a large stone protruded, which happened to cover the entrance of a cave. The people behind followed his gaze and said happily, "Here! Over here! "A sand thief wanted to enter first, and when he saw a large number of gems, he had long lost his initial anxiety and panic, and jumped up with a scimitar. Bai Yetong said coldly, "This road leads to death. ”
When Hu Qian heard this, he immediately drank the sand thief, and after a while, he almost fell from the entrance of the cave. Bai Yetong continued: "What do you think the gem just now is for, it's all to buy life. There was an indescribable force in his words that forced the people to silence, and the voices suddenly died down, and there was silence in the cave. Many people were worried in their hearts, and there was nothing unusual in the cave, but the silence was like a big stone that made people breathless.
Hu Qian was silent for a long time, and glanced at Bai Yetong, "Hmph, pretend to be a ghost!" ”
Bai Yetong hugged his arms tightly, looked like he didn't care about himself, walked slowly, and when he passed by Hu Qian, he whispered, "Don't regret it." Tang Tengfei was busy supporting Bai Yetong, and Bai Yetong gently waved his hand to indicate that it was no big deal.
In this way, the two of them continued to open the way in front, and the Tang Sect disciples and sand thieves slowly followed. Tang Tengfei saw that the sand thieves were a little farther away, and asked in a low voice, "Is this really such an evil sect down here?" ”
Bai Yetong said in a low voice, "I have a feeling that there may be heavy casualties this time, you should be mentally prepared as soon as possible." Hearing this, Tang Tengfei couldn't help but look back at his younger brother.
I didn't walk for long, I saw that the road was not far away and made a big bend, and when I turned around, my eyes lit up, and a piece of sky was transmitted from above through the infinite cliff.
The sky light poured down, illuminating a large open space at the end of the road, and dozens of people in the open space were crazy and looking at the strange scene in front of them in a daze.
In this open space of about ten zhang square, the flat stone is like a stone, and a thick layer of golden sand is paved on it, and facing everyone is a tantric Buddha statue with a height of half a zhang. Jade fat gold clothes, wearing a crown, wearing a jewel, sitting upright on the lotus platform, the treasure looks dignified, and seems to be smiling at everyone. Every layer of petals on the Qibao Lotus Platform turned out to be made of pure gold, outlined in pearls and jade. Under the sun, the five colors are flying, and the colorful clutch is dazzling. There are countless Dharma offerings, gold and silver treasures, jewelry, glass, and secret porcelain around the Buddha statue.
Tang Tengfei was dumbfounded, pulled Bai Yetong's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "How can there be a Buddha statue here?" ”
Bai Yetong also seemed to be surprised, and looked around, "Could it be that this is the place where the Buddha is buried?" ”
According to rumors, Tantric Buddhism has always believed that after the death of its suzerain, it will fly to the Western Elysium to become a Buddha, after which believers will donate their belongings to build a Buddha statue with the body of their suzerain, and even the royal family will donate a large number of Buddhist tools and treasures to pray for blessings.
There are vessels that the people do not say they have seen, or they have never heard of them. Even a person like Bai Yetong, who has lived in the palace for a long time, has extensive knowledge, and is in power, can be said to have all the treasures in the world, and there are still some things that cannot be named at all.
In addition to the Buddhist magic weapons and various treasures enshrined by the royal family, there are also a large number of rhino horn ivory, jade and black gold piled up in the corner, and some people knelt on the ground, holding a hand of golden sand, looking confused, and kept muttering to themselves.
At this time, Hu Qian's heart was unspeakably happy, he just wanted to laugh, and he had no intention of looking for anything else. He walked into the treasure, or twisted a jade grinding jar, or picked up a gilt eight-sided button pattern pot, but felt that everything was exquisite and ingenious, and he couldn't let go of it.
Bai Yetong looked back at Tang Tengfei, "You originally said that this is a treasure in your clan?" ”
Tang Tengfei was afraid that Bai Yetong would be angry in his heart and deceive him, so he hurriedly explained, "The senior of our clan saved a seriously injured person on the Gobi many years ago, and when he was dying, he handed us a map, saying that there was a great treasure inside. ”
After hearing this, Bai Yetong nodded, secretly thinking that the person should be a tomb robber or something.
The Tang Sect disciples also began to pick it up, Hu Qian looked at Bai Yetong and coughed, "Don't forget what my family adults ordered, hurry up and find out that ice spirit." ”
He didn't even tilt his head, and carefully looked at this open space, where would this ice spirit be?
He was confused for a while, and at this moment a sand thief screamed and jumped up, and Hu Qian said in displeasure: "What's wrong?!" ”
A sand thief wearing a broken felt hat glared at Hu Qian and muttered, "I don't know what insect stinged me." Hu Qian glanced at him from afar and said, "Nonsense, this place is deep in the crypt, where are there any insects?" Is there any insect that is worth being surprised about?! ”
The sand thief didn't dare to argue, nodded and said, "Got it." As soon as he was reprimanded like this, no one else dared to speak out. When someone gathered the golden sand, they clearly saw some black strange insects, and they only secretly twisted them to death with their hands.
Not long after, a Tang Sect disciple suddenly shouted, "It's itching, it's itching!" "Hands and dances. Tang Tengfei yelled at him, and he also felt that his ankle was extremely itchy, so he reached out and caught a very ugly strange insect in his hand. The strange insect opened its two big claws, and clamped it on his fingers again, and the wound was tingling and itching, but at first it was nothing, and gradually it became more and more itchy, almost itching to the bone.
At this time, I heard a soft rustling sound, and I only saw that the yellow golden sand was dyed with a layer of black, and the black gradually became heavier, as if a wave of ink waves emerged from the ground, and countless strange insects crawled out. The disciples of the Tang Sect and the sand thieves screamed loudly, jumped up and slapped them, and even Bai Yetong couldn't help but be shocked when they saw it.
"What the hell is this!" Hu Qian jumped back sharply and exclaimed.
