Chapter 545: Ancient Temple Search
Everything is difficult at the beginning, because the psychological shadow caused by the Yin soldiers is too large, and this place is located in the area where the Yin soldiers wander, although it is now in the Judge Temple, but in fact, no one dares to take risks, and no one dares to raise their heads first, until ......
Chen Xiaoyao was the first to raise his head.
The young man's behavior without warning startled the two beside him, but at least for Zhao Ping...... Since Chen Xiaoyao couldn't hold his breath and raised his head first, then isn't this a 'good thing'?
Spontaneously explore the way, and volunteer to act as a pathfinder for others.
seemed to have completely seen through Zhao Ping's thoughts, and after more than ten seconds, Chen Xiaoyao smiled, turned to the opposite side, still lowered his head, and the two of them chattered triumphantly: "Wow! This temple is really not ordinary! Who wants to see it? ”
Zhao Ping naturally understood the meaning of Chen Xiaoyao's words, and sure enough, seeing that Chen Xiaoyao, who was the first to raise his head, was safe and sound, the man with glasses immediately raised his head, it is conceivable that even Zhao Ping spontaneously raised his head, lest he be cheated again and Yao Fujiang, who had already made up his mind, raised his head together.
Finally, the three of them collectively looked at the temple and looked around.
Through observation, we can first conclude that this place is indeed a judge's temple, the best evidence comes from the high platform in front, and at the top of the high platform is a stone statue of about two meters or so, and the shape of the statue is a man wearing an official uniform, this person has all his hair open, his eyes are round, he is wearing an official uniform and a black veil, holding a book similar to an account book in his left hand, and holding a thick brush with a rod in his right hand. No matter the appearance or costume, it is very similar to the image of the Yin Si judge in folklore, especially the thick brush, which is a landmark item in line with the image of the judge in the impression of the vast majority of Chinese people.
Of course, the three of them didn't come all the way to Yinshan to see the statue, after confirming the correct location through the statue, Zhao Ping instinctively shifted his gaze, and his vision swept around the temple, but ......
After looking at it for a long time, I looked at it for a long time, and even looked at the top of the beams, but no matter how I looked at it, there was nothing else in the hall that could be seen nearby, except for some incense burners and incense sticks to support the roof, and there was nothing that could attract attention.
Seeing this, Zhao Ping's face became faintly ugly, and his eyes were even more fixed on Chen Xiaoyao's face, who was still looking around at his side, and finally frowned slightly and opened his mouth to ask: "You said before that the Conjuring Banner must be in the Judge Temple, right?" ”
Listening to the glasses man's question, where could Chen Xiaoyao not understand the meaning of the other party's words? However, the strange thing is that in the face of the man's unkind inquiry, he did not defend it, but turned his gaze to Zhao Ping, met the other party's already somewhat gloomy face, and then nodded while nodding and replied: "Yes, I said, what's wrong?" ”
The result can be imagined, as soon as he heard the other party's answer, Zhao Ping's face became more and more gloomy, obviously, from his expression alone, it can be seen that the man is now impatient, even Yao Fujiang can understand why Zhao Ping's face is becoming more and more ugly, the answer is undoubtedly the source of nothing, nothing has been found, the temple has only one main hall, and the back and forth is so big, but he has been looking for a long time but has not found anything, not to mention the man with glasses, even he himself is dazed and anxious at the moment, I didn't expect it to be at this time, Chen Xiaoyao actually put on a look of irrelevance and asked?
Looking at Chen Xiaoyao's expression, at this moment, Yao Fujiang actually experienced Zhao Ping's inner feelings for the first time, this, this surnamed Chen is really too bad!
"So, what about the spirit banner you spoke of?"
Zhao Ping is naturally not the kind of person who is easy to be impulsive, in the face of the young Taoist priest's rhetorical question, he was silent for a few seconds, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and the man mentioned the key point and said the problem that the three people present were most concerned about.
That is, where is the spirit flag?
As the man with glasses asked again, Yao Fujiang also hurriedly looked at the opposite side, looking at Chen Xiaoyao, who was still smiling, Xu is finally felt the anxiety of the two teammates, raised his uninjured right hand and touched his hair, and finally said a sentence with a grin, still in a rhetorical question: "What about the spirit flag?" Hey, before I answer, the first two of you have to answer me a question. ”
After a pause, he looked around at both sides, and then continued: "An artifact like the Soul Flag, do you think those ancient people would easily put it in a place where it could be seen at a glance? ”
Well?
Hearing this, Zhao Ping's eyes narrowed slightly, and Yao Fujiang simply walked up to the front and asked curiously, "Huh?" What do you mean......"
Watching the change in the bespectacled man's expression, listening to Yao Fujiang's urgent inquiry, Chen Xiaoyao sold the guanzi, nodded and added: "Think about it from another perspective, if you are an ancient person, where do you think it is safest to hide things?" ”
………
Time is back to two minutes ago.
Yin Mountain, inside the Judge Temple.
Human beings have a variety of ways to deal with darkness, and in addition to the power equipment that has only gradually become popular in modern times, flame is the eternal means for human beings to dispel darkness against the night.
Entering the Judge's Temple and confirming that there was no danger, Chen Xiaoyao lit two candles that he carried with him, and the candles were placed on the incense case, and under the candlelight, the interior of the temple was clearly displayed in sight.
It's a pity, looking at it for a long time, groping for a long time, but finding nothing, no matter how you search, no matter how you grope it, you can't see even a thing similar to the Soul Banner when you look through the temple, not even a bamboo pole, in the face of such a result, the three of them are frequently surprised, especially Zhao Ping and Yao Fujiang, the incomprehension on their faces is getting stronger and stronger, after all, the news that the Soul Banner is located in the Yinshan Judge Temple all comes from Chen Xiaoyao, and several people have indeed worked hard to reach here through thousands of difficulties and dangers, and they have been busy for a long time, but they have not found anything at all, if……
If the Judge Temple didn't have a spirit banner at all from the beginning to the end, then this pit would be too big!
The more anxious he looked, the more anxious he became, and in the midst of restlessness, whether it was Zhao Ping or Yao Fujiang, the eyes of the two looking at someone began to become suspicious and began to become unkind.
It seems to feel that the gaze of the two teammates has changed, and in front of him, Chen Xiaoyao can't help but beat the drum in his heart, to be honest, he also heard the news that the conjuring flag is located in Yinshan, and he personally came here for the first time, at first he was convinced of what the master said, but the development of the situation gradually exceeded expectations, I thought that entering the temple would naturally get the conjuring flag, but it backfired, breaking through the danger and reaching the end, but as the end of the judge's temple was empty!
This, is this the......
(Oh my day, how could there not be?) After looking for so long, I didn't even see the shadow of the spirit flag? Master, you old thing, don't lie to me, back then, you personally told me that there was a spirit flag in the Yinshan Judge Temple, not only did you say that there would be other good things in it, but now I took the risk to bring someone here, if everything you said is all false...... Then, then this joke is too big, not to mention that I can't save He Fei, it is estimated that even my own life will be in danger in the future! If my teammates find out that they have been deceived, they will never let me go! If it really doesn't, let alone return to the cursed space, it is estimated that these two guys next to me will turn against me on the spot...... Forget it, let's look for it again...... )
(Don't panic, stay calm first, you must first put on a confident appearance!) ).
Wailing in his heart, praying in his heart, feeling the two pairs of unkind eyes behind him, Chen Xiaoyao forced himself to calm down, and he disguised himself with his superb acting skills.
The description is so, and the reality is also like this, although the more he thinks about it, the more panicked he becomes, but he himself has not shown a half-panicked expression, not only did he not panic but made a confident appearance to the two people next to him, maybe the performance really played a role, seeing the young Taoist priest smiling happily, Yao Fujiang's puzzled look subsided a little, but ......
Only a man with glasses maintained a cold expression from beginning to end, and a pair of suspicious eyes stared at the back of the young Taoist priest from beginning to end!
(What's going on?) Why do you suddenly feel a chill down your spine? Could it be that Zhao Glasses saw something and suspected me? It's impossible, my performance is so professional and in place...... It seems that I have to come to find it by feeling, ask Taishang Laojun to bless me, bless my master's words are true, bless the soul flag is here, if you don't find it as soon as possible, then Zhao glasses will definitely not let me go. )
(Huh?) Wait, the Soul Banner is a good thing anyway, although it can't be called an artifact in the world, it can be regarded as a rare object, how can such an important item be placed at will? Could it be hidden? Well, it's possible, it's very likely, well, the right is hidden, it's hidden, and where is it? )
At the same time, just as Chen Xiaoyao was thinking quickly with his back to others, Zhao Ping's suspicious voice came from behind him: "You said before that the Conjuring Banner must be in the Judge Temple, right?" ”
"yes, I said, what's wrong?"
"So, what about the spirit banner you spoke of?"
"Do you think that an artifact like the Conjuring Banner would be easily placed by those ancient people in a place where it could be seen at a glance?"
Forced to calm down, using what he had just thought in his mind, Chen Xiaoyao still maintained a confident appearance and replied calmly, and finally sold Guan Zi, nodded and added: "Think about it differently, if you are an ancient person, where do you think it is safest to hide things?" ”
………
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and a word turned into earth-shattering thunder, although Chen Xiaoyao was guessing, but it really made some sense in the ears of Zhao Ping and Yao Fujiang.
The two were stunned at the same time, and after a while, Zhao Ping stared at the young man and stared at each other, sure enough, because he now has some understanding of the man, seeing the man with glasses putting on such an expression, Chen Xiaoyao, who knew very well that the other party was now angry in his heart, was taken aback on the spot, and hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "Don't don't, senior Zhao, don't be angry, I don't sell Guanzi, I'll just say it, just say it!" ”
After that, he first paused, and then pointed to the ground and explained: "I suspect that the spirit banner is very likely to be hidden underground, so everyone leans over and squats down to look carefully to see if they find anything!" ”
(Well, ancient people generally chose to hide things underground, I hope the guess is correct...... )
Putting aside how the young Taoist priest prayed in his heart, with a hint, Zhao Ping and Yao Fujiang really both lowered their heads and looked at their feet, as they said before, the ground of this temple is not dirt, but is made of stone slabs, and there is indeed nothing else under their feet except stone slabs.
After staring for a moment, as his thoughts shifted, Zhao Ping first bent down and squatted, and then observed the floor under his feet more carefully, of course, not only him, but also Yao Fujiang and Chen Xiaoyao on the side, who also followed closely and squatted on the ground, looking frequently.
As mentioned above, because all the information comes from what the master said, Chen Xiaoyao didn't know anything except that the Soul Banner was located in the Judge Temple, let alone the precise location of the Soul Flag, but fortunately, in a flash of inspiration, the young man gradually affirmed it, and then he was convinced that the Spirit Banner could not be taken away in other places, and the reason was very simple, just the tens of thousands of lonely souls all over the Yin Mountain and the large number of Yin soldiers in front of the Judge Temple were enough to discourage anyone. It is estimated that there is only one master in this world who has the ability to shuttle around Yinshan freely, and the rest of the people, no matter who they are or how many people come, once they step into Yinshan, they will be sentenced to death, and how many will die, and the master has also clearly told himself that the Soul Banner is in the Judge Temple, in this case, since the master did not take it back then, then the speculation about whether the Spirit Flag was taken by others will not be established, and the Spirit Flag is still in the Judge Temple, at most it is just hidden.
(Nothing wrong, absolutely nothing wrong!) )
The more Chen Xiaoyao thought about it, the more he realized that the truth was quite profound, and the panic in his heart gradually faded a lot, and his confidence increased exponentially.
Inside the Temple of the Judges.
Under the candlelight, at this moment, in this abandoned ancient temple that no one has set foot on for hundreds of years, three figures are busy shaking.
Knock, knock, knock.
Accompanied by a slight knocking sound, mixed and frequently moved, everyone was busy, Zhao Ping, Chen Xiaoyao and Yao Fujiang were walking around looking endlessly, squatting in different positions and began to tap one by one, tapping the ground slate one by one with their fingers, all of them were engrossed, all of them were concentrated, what Chen Xiaoyao said earlier was not a mouthful, the temple was so big, and all the furnishings around it were also clear at a glance, but the result was nothing, since the surface search was fruitless, then only the underground remained, They wonder if there is a hidden compartment underground.
Yes, the dark grid, just like the scenes that often appear in film and television dramas, in that era when there were neither banks nor vaults, for some valuable things, the ancients often had traces to follow, and it was also an effective way to find the location by tapping on the fingers to listen to the sound.
What are the results of the trial?
The percussion continued, the short one shifted, and then for a period of time, the three of them knocked a total of dozens of stone slabs, but the result was a big disappointment, no matter which stone slab, the percussion sound was dull, confirming the solidity below, and couldn't help but make the three of them drum in their hearts, after all, the entire temple was full of nearly a hundred stone slabs, and at present, about half of the number of slates has been percussed, if it has not been found......
Thinking of this, gradually, a certain emotion called disappointment began to spread, and began to echo in the hearts of the three of them.
And as one piece after another tried to no avail, just as the hearts of several people gradually became heavy, just when Chen Xiaoyao's forehead was sweating......
Smack.
A crisp echo sound goes straight to the eardrum!
