At 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, we came to the gate of Huayue Temple, the wall was not high, and we climbed into it in twos and threes. Not to mention, after training, I really didn't feel strained, and I definitely couldn't climb in before I put it in. Since the monks had already moved out, there were basically no people, and after avoiding the patrolling guards, we made it to the Bhagavad Tibetan Temple. Sister Yue took out a black box and swept it from the door to the door. "There's an infrared anti-theft facility here, you guys step back."

I wanted to ask Sister Yue what kind of high-tech this is, but I thought that Dusty Wind didn't like to talk, so I had to watch quietly, and I saw Sister Yue press a button on the black box, and infrared rays also appeared on both sides of the black box in an instant. Then it was slowly moved horizontally to both sides of the door frame. The infrared light is disconnected from the middle.

"Alright, let's go!"

We sneaked into the hall gently, followed the old man's flashlight, and when we turned around, we saw the "Heavenly Palace Pavilion" high above.

"Alas, any one of these is a national treasure, wow, I opened my eyes today." Brother Dong sighed twice.

What you see with your own eyes is different from what you hear, the hall is surrounded by walls and built scripture cabinets, the upper floor is a shrine dedicated to the Buddha statue, and the lower floor is a wall store for the scriptures. These walls are hidden around the hook railing of the main hall, all hollow carving, exquisitely clear, and in the middle built a circular arch bridge, and built this "Tiangong pavilion" on the bridge to count a total of five, eaves, bucket arches, exquisite details.

I was looking in a daze, when I suddenly saw that Old Man Ping had thrown his claws onto the roof beam. It didn't take two steps to jump to the side of the "Heavenly Palace Pavilion".

"Is there something in there?" Brother Dong couldn't help but ask.

I didn't expect Old Man Ping to be so good, I was afraid of revealing my feet, so I didn't move.

Just look at him put his hand into the pavilion, "It looks like there's a box!" "Just look at his hand, the box didn't pick it up, but it turned it!

"Not good!"

As soon as the old man finished shouting, the floor under our feet suddenly tumbled down and fell without warning. Fortunately, it wasn't high, and I rolled around and landed on one knee. When I looked up, I saw that the floor was closed in an instant!

"I'll go, there's still such a mechanism here?" Brother Dong shouted. After speaking, he turned over and quickly shone a flashlight on the surroundings with a flashlight in his hand.

We found a spiraling staircase underfoot. And the middle of the black whirring can not see the bottom, if you just fell down and rolled to the middle, it will definitely be over, I was afraid of a white sweat.

Suddenly, the floor opened again, and a dark shadow jumped in, it was Old Man Ping.

A few of us looked at each other and didn't say anything more, and started to walk down. After a long time, we all started to feel that something was wrong.

"It's too deep here." Sister Yue stopped and said.

"Yes, I looked at it, the bricks on the top are dense, and the bricks below are getting fewer and less, and the stones are more and more." I said suspiciously, feeling so familiar, but I couldn't remember it. After falling for a while, I finally saw the ground. But we found that we couldn't go down at all.

Because on the ground before our eyes are countless sharp steel thorns.

"I'll go, look!" Brother Dong shouted.

Following his flashlight, we actually saw a pile of rags, and under this pile of rags was actually a skeleton, which was obviously pierced to death by steel thorns, but if we look closely at this pile of rags, it is not the clothing of modern people, it is stumped, it is an ancient thief. As soon as I thought of this, a fishy smell rushed to me. I quickly covered my mouth and nose and found that Brother Dong was using a flashlight to open the pile of rags, rummaging for something.

"Brother Dong, you don't stink either." Suddenly, I saw Mr. Ping looking at me, and I quickly said, "It's okay!" It's okay! ”

"Quick! Look at the middle! Sister Yue replaced the flashlight with astigmatism, and the space here was seen more clearly, only to see a one-person tall and delicate crystal tower in the middle of the steel thorns! There is actually a figure in front of the crystal tower!

We immediately stepped back, steadied for a while, and then we realized a meditating monk who had become a dried corpse. But why is the one you just saw a white bone, and this one is a dried corpse? It's so strange that there are two different corpse states in one place!

"Damn, I'm scared to death Uncle Ben, it's like a ghost movie, this monk is sitting down."

Hearing Brother Dong say this, I took a closer look, no, "Look closely, this monk is actually sitting on the steel thorn, but the steel thorn is not pierced, what's going on?" ”

"This is hard qigong, it seems that this monk has profound skills, but why do you want to sit here?" The old man touched his beard and suddenly exclaimed:

"Could it be, could it be the real Ling Yue Pagoda here?"

It dawned on me and I said, "Are you saying we're in the tower?" I'll just say how to look at the staircase structure inside so familiar. ”

The old man nodded, "The legend of this tower has been destroyed, I didn't expect it to be underground, the legend is that the tower is more than 40 meters high, no wonder we have been walking for so long." Presumably, what we are looking for is in this crystal tower! We've figured it out! ”

But it was easier said than done, the ground was full of steel thorns, and when we walked to the position facing the monk, there were still countless steel thorns in front of us.

"I'll sit down for a while, to conserve my strength." Brother Dong saw that everyone couldn't do anything, so he sat down.

I thought about it, and sat down in front of the monk's corpse, but when I sat down and looked up, I suddenly found that the monk had opened his eyes.

"Ahh I screamed in fright and rolled over to my feet. Hold up a flashlight to shine on the dry corpse.

"What's the matter, little... Dust Wind, what's wrong with this? Brother Dong almost said something out of his mouth.

"That dry corpse just opened its eyes!"

Brother Dong looked at it carefully, "No, you're dazzled." ”

I looked at it again in confusion, but I really didn't open my eyes. Maybe I'm hallucinating.

"Maybe not," said the old man suddenly.

"Emma, you're suspicious too!" Brother Dong waved his hand.

"This monk has been lucky when he died, his body is dead, and if something goes wrong, he will immediately raise his body, according to his ability in front of him, we are not opponents!"

"It seems that this monk is guarding the things in the tower behind." I said helplessly. Well, sit down and rest. It's better to think about it while standing than to sit and think, because the brain has a fast blood supply.

After sitting down, I suddenly saw something on the ground. I quickly wiped the dust off it with my hands, "Earth, water, fire, wind" I looked up at a few of them.

"What's that?" Brother Dong also crawled over to take a look. "What do these words mean?"

"This seems to have something to do with Buddhist scriptures, I have read some, this earth, water, fire, and wind are the four major things that Buddhism says, and they first appeared in what the Buddha said: Buddha words should be read in the body of the four four, each has a name, and there is no self. According to Buddhism, the "Four Things" are the causes of material phenomena in the material world. You've probably heard the term "the four emptinesses". Sister Yue took pictures with her mobile phone.

"Could it be that this monk wants to make our four major empty?" Brother Dong frowned and pouted. "I can't be empty of the four majors, and a beautiful woman put me down."

"I'll give it a try." After saying that, I sat down cross-legged across from the monk. I started to relax, I was thinking about not sitting and falling asleep, just thinking about this, suddenly my head was very heavy, so sleepy, why are you so sleepy, why don't you just sleep?

Suddenly I felt someone grab my hand! Cold!

I was clever, and I quickly opened my eyes, and there was a little monk in front of me!

"Lost master, I've finally waited for you!" The little monk grabbed my hand and didn't let go. Pull me up and walk up the steel spike.

"Wait, wait, what do you mean?" I quickly shook him off.

"Lost master, didn't you put things here for me? I've worked so hard. With that, he took my hand again. Then he looked at me suspiciously and said, "The lost owner seems to be still confused, are you confused about yourself?" ”

I got goosebumps like an electric shock all over my body because he saw through my heart!

"All objects are formed by the "four" hypothetical combination, and the cause and effect temporarily exist when the cause exists, and when the cause and effect disappear, it will dissolve with the condition. Therefore, there is no "independent" self-existence of all things. For example, who is it yourself? Is it your body? Is it the physical hands and feet? Is it the fingers on the hand? Is it a bone in a finger? If you continue to ask like this, there will never be an answer, because this fake body is not you at all. Thinking from this perspective, we can appreciate the essence of the "four emptiness" of the material world. ”

I looked at him in amazement, I did keep wondering if I was still myself?

Unexpectedly, I found the answer here! What does it matter if I am me or not. What's the use of worrying about this unanswered question all the time?

I looked at the little monk happily and saw him smiling at me, and the skin on his face began to turn black and wrinkled when he was smiling, and gradually fell off! "Ah——!h I screamed in fright.

Smack, a slap woke me up, and I looked at Brother Dong around me, Sister Yue.

"Is your uncle taking the opportunity to sleep, can't wake up when he screams, and smirk!" Brother Dong pinched my ears.

"It hurts, it hurts, I didn't sleep."

"Maybe he really didn't sleep, look!" Old Man Ping pointed to the monk's dried corpse.

We quickly looked and saw that the skin all over our body had turned into powder and slowly fallen. In the end, it became a white bone.

"Okay, the danger of this dried corpse is gone, let's get something quickly!"

Thinking of the little monk's understanding of me just now, now it has turned into a pile of white bones,。。。 So I put my hands together, bowed three times to the bones, and watched silently for a while. Then he got up and looked around at the circled steps above. The walls are smooth, and people can't get to the middle with flying claws directly. That's all there is to it.

"Sister Yue, give me a rope!"

Sister Yue turned around and threw it, and a bunch of ropes were thrown in front of me.

"Brother Dong, you take this rope and go to it with me in a while. Sister Yue, you rope head. Old man Ping, I see that you have a good hand, and we will use a rope to put you down when you go to fetch the things in the tower. ”

Old man Ping looked at me, frowned, and then nodded. Brother Dong and I climbed to the top three steps. We stood on opposite sides of the tower, straightening the ropes. Then I put another rope on the straightened rope, hung the rope down, and motioned to Sister Xiayue, who tied the rope in her hand to the rope I drooped.

Seeing that it was almost over, I saw the old man Ping jump up and grab the rope that was hanging down. Brother Dong and I tugged at the rope vigorously. Old Man Ping swung to the top of the crystal tower. Then he rolled over, and there was an upside-down golden bell. His hands hung right in front of the tower. I saw him slowly touch his fingers into the crystal tower, and after observing it, he took out a small bottle from his pocket, poured out some powder, wiped it on his hands, and then quickly put his hands into the core of the crystal tower, pumped, and took out a box.

And just as we were carrying it out, we shook under our feet.

"Oh no, there's a trap!" I screamed, and suddenly I felt the steps under my feet start to close into the wall. Oh no, we're going to fall if we go on like this!

"Quick, Sister Yue pull Old Man Ping back!"

Sister Yue pulled hard, and Old Man Ping turned over and jumped back on the steps.

"Quick! With iron claws! Sister Yue shouted.

I suddenly reacted, took out the bow and crossbow that Dustwind usually used in my bag, and shot it at the upper brick wall. I heard a heavy snap and hooked. So I tied the rope around my body. Throw it to Brother Dong again. Brother Dong was tied up and thrown to Sister Yue and Old Man Peace. By the time we had just finished tying up, the steps were gone, and we all grabbed the ropes and swayed to the wall of the tower.

"Well, we're really grasshoppers tied to a rope now."

"You're still in the mood to talk, quick, crawl!" Sister Yue shouted.

So we climbed up the tower wall with difficulty, and when we climbed under the floor, we realized that the floor could not be opened at all.

"It's over, I can't hold my legs! If we fall down in a while, it will be pierced more thoroughly! Brother Dong trembled and put his legs on the brick wall and changed positions. Don't talk about him, I can't hold it anymore.

"Say anything frustrating, and see if there are any hidden mechanisms around." Old man Ping called.

So we started looking at the walls around us.

"What is this, so smooth to the touch?" Sister Yue said. We saw her grip the brick wall with difficulty, but the bricks under her hand were indeed smooth.

"I'll take a look." Old man Ping grabbed the rope and climbed up a few steps, touching the bricks with his fingers.

"Old man Ping, what did you wipe on your hands just now?" I asked curiously.

"We have a special anti-poison powder at home, and the tower has put poison. If you don't erase it, what you see now is my corpse. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, "Sure enough! It seems that the man below did dig a hole and came in. After saying that, he took out the bricks with a strong hand, and what appeared in front of us was actually a black hole.

"Quick, get out of here!" Old man Ping shouted and got in first.

We followed closely and the hanging body was relieved as we climbed into the hole, but the hole was long. And only crawl and walk.

"Old man, it's amazing, how do you know there's a hole!" Brother Dong asked as he crawled.

"Look at the clothes of the dead man below to know that it is from the Ming Dynasty, when the temple was strictly guarded, and there were many monks, he couldn't enter from the main hall at all. I had to dig a hole to get in. ”

"This underground pagoda, there should have been monks coming in at that time, otherwise the tower ladder would not have been designed. So when this person comes in, he will plug the hole for fear of being discovered. But he never thought that he would die in the mechanism below. After I finished speaking, I realized that something was wrong, as if I had too many words, so I quickly shut up.

My knees hurt on the ground, and suddenly, there was no way ahead. I saw that the old man Ping made a hard push and actually stood up. We climbed out.

"I'll go, why does it stink so much!" Brother Dong covered his nose.

"You stink right now... I didn't finish speaking, I felt that something was wrong, it really stinks.

"Can it not stink? This is a thatched house! That is, the toilet of the common people. Old man Ping gave us a disgusted look and walked out quickly.

The place where we came out was a courtyard house, and the surrounding houses were almost collapsed. A few of us hurriedly covered our noses and ran out of the hut.

As soon as we came out, we saw a few people standing in front of us and stopped us. We stopped. Since it wasn't yet dawn, I couldn't see what these people were like.

"Ping Lao, it's hard work, the one in black clothes in the back is the dust wind, we've been waiting for you for a long time."

"What do you mean you guys are here?" Old man Ping's eyes became sharp.

"Ping Lao, this has nothing to do with you, personal grudges."

"Hmph, it's not a self-sufficient thing, one here belongs to the Liu family, and the other is from the Yue family, as long as you can afford it, just do it. Moreover, the darts of the dust wind never fail to make a hair, and every shot must see blood, either fatal or lying down for a lifetime. You can think about it. ”

A few of us looked at Old Man Ping with wide eyes, when did he know the identities of Sister Yue and Brother Dong?

I saw those few people muttering, "What's the Liu family, the Yue family?" Also there. "You go, I have business dealings with the Yue family, I'll leave first."

After a while, a few people ran away. There was only one left, still glaring at me angrily. I saw him suddenly pounce on me with a dagger in his hand. I turned sideways and grabbed his arm with one hand and pulled him, and the man stumbled at me and turned around and slashed with his dagger. I thought it was not good, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to dodge, so I grabbed the dagger from my waist and was about to pierce the man, but I didn't expect the person to be kicked and fall to the ground, and I saw that it was the old man Ping.

Brother Dong stepped forward and gave the man another kick,

"If you dare to move him, pass me first, you'd better touch your neck, the dust dart has been taken out, if I don't kick you, you have already seen Hades." Old man Ping shouted.

The man touched his neck, and sure enough, the blood was gushing, and when he saw that there was no chance of winning, he quickly turned over and ran away.

I thought to myself that the dart I just swung was not heavy, if it really killed someone, it would be over! Another cold sweat.

The old man walked up to me: "Boy, let's be honest, you shouldn't be dusty." ”

I was shocked, "You, how do you know?" ”

"I knew it the first time I saw you. There is such a saying among the dark guests. The old man Ping continued with his beard repeatedly, "The black clothes are silent and their faces are like jade, and no one has returned them. You can't learn the ruthlessness in Dusty Wind's eyes. Anyway, you must have come for him, so please tell him that I owe him the favor that the old man owes him has been paid off. I'll give it to my family. ”

With that, he was ready to leave.

Sister Yue hurriedly shouted: "Old man, wait a minute, what is in this box may be related to what we are looking for, can you let us take a look?" ”

The old man didn't look back: "It's about the life and death of Chenfeng and my family, are you sure you want to see it?" ”

All three of us were silent. The old man paused for a moment, and then quickly disappeared into the morning mist. The three of us were left standing dumbfounded.

"What are you doing standing, let's eat." Brother Dong broke the silence first. At this time, the sky began to light up. The three of us found a small stall and ordered haggis.

Halfway through eating, we realized that everyone around us was looking at us. We looked at each other and saw that something was wrong. The three of us were dusty, dusty, and smelly, and it was embarrassing. While eating, an off-road car stopped in front of us.

"Are the three of them friends with General Zhang?"
