The thief cave discovered by Chaoyang Jun is under the painting wall of the Heavenly King of the Holding Kingdom. I just looked at the mural on the wall, but I didn't notice that there was such a place in the dark corner of the wall. The entrance to the cave is very low, and there is some floating earth around the edge. Chaoyang Jun used a flashlight to search inside, the thief hole is still in the shape of a slope, and the wooden planks are erected in the hole, which should be the same as the previous thief hole, which should be done by the same group of people, but I don't know where this thief hole leads. A biting cool breeze seeped out of the cave, accompanied by a faint sound, which made people's backs chill.

In the face of the new thief hole, everyone is a little overwhelmed. Lao Long looked at me and Chaoyangjun and wanted to hear our opinions. Let me tell you that the place we are currently in is not a burial chamber, but the underground palace of the original Maitreya Temple. The underground palace of Buddhist temples is generally a single-storey building, which is mostly used to worship relics or valuable ritual utensils...... Before I finished speaking, Lao Long interjected: "Mr. Liao, let's not popularize historical knowledge here. You just say that the subject matter is not going to be successful. ”

"You're in a hurry!" I've always despised people who are anxious for this kind of monkey. I pointed to the thief hole at my feet and continued, "From what I know so far, those thieves are just passing through here, and their real target is here. As I spoke, I picked up the pottery shards on the ground and threw them into the hole, and listened to the clink of the pottery shards through the robbery hole, and said to the people: "If someone goes down, at least it means that it is safe down there." ”

"You also said just now, this dungeon only has one floor, so what's the place under this?" The old dragon, who was still anxious just now, suddenly became cautious. Look at your question, I haven't been down to know what is going on down there. I glanced at the old dragon and said angrily, "Why don't you go down first to take a look at the situation, and then come back and report to us." The old dragon looked at the entrance of the cave, and shook his head like a rattle.

Speaking of what kind of place to go, I have a bold guess - this should have a lot to do with the legendary ancient country of Baiyuntan. Chaoyang Jun objected: "Whether it is a three-headed and six-armed king or a god general, it is obviously a ghost and god legend. Like the story of the rich man in the future, it expresses the traditional idea that good and evil will be rewarded in the end. Such legends can only be heard as stories. "Chaoyangjun's materialistic speech made me wonder if he accidentally took the wrong textbook when studying accounting.

Chaoyangjun's words ignited my enthusiasm for debate, where can I care about the environment we are in, it is imperative to refute him first: "What you said makes sense, but you ignore a problem: legend has a man-made fabrication, such as Liu Bang's mortal birth, and he has to be said to be the product of the love activities of dragons and humans; It may also be that there is a discrepancy in people's word of mouth, such as Kui, who was originally a very capable person, but was eventually said to be a cow with only one leg. If we exclude those parts that are contrary to natural common sense, it is not a reasonable inference that there was a kingdom in Taiping Town that has not been recorded in history. ”

The two of us were debating, and the mouse patted me on the shoulder, pulled me and Chaoyangjun off the debate platform, and said that there was no danger below, and we could go down. It turned out that while we were talking, they tested the safety of the next layer with live chickens that they brought down. I asked if I should stop there and go home. The old dragon took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and said to me, "It's only less than two o'clock." Since you have come, you must walk more and see more, the ancients said well: thieves don't go empty. ”

Hey, this sex makes you determined......

This time it was still a rat to open the road, and this time it was a familiar road. This hole is much longer than the previous one. It didn't take long for us to reach the next floor. This floor is much more spacious than the underground palace above, and there is a stone tablet not far from us, with four big characters on it: Yongzhen Evil! There is an iron cable at each of the four corners of the stele that extends in all directions. The light moved along the iron cable, and at the end of it was a large bright red hand......

I'll go!

"Smack!" I don't know who dropped the flashlight on the ground, and it looked particularly crisp in the silent environment. Shine a flashlight on the wall – there's a statue of a god on the wall. The idol is holding the iron rope in his right hand, pinching it in his left hand and I don't know what it is, with a blue face and red beard, and his angry hair seems to be about to drink through the evil in the world, and the evil ghost under his feet has protruding eyes, long tongues hanging to the ground, and a painful expression. Seeing that it was a sculpture, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, only to hear the old dragon whispering to himself: "TMD, I almost scared Lao Tzu out of urine." The lights went around, and there was a statue of a god standing on the wall, both holding a rope in their right hand and a thing in their left hand, staring at the stele with a hideous face.

"Jing Ke, what kind of place is this?" The rat asked. I shook my head, I thought there should be an ancient tomb or something down here, this Nima is an iron rope and a stone tablet, who knows what the place is.

At this time, I felt that someone was dragging me behind, and when I looked back, it was Lao Zhou. I asked him what was the matter, and he took the candle and asked me, "Can I light a candle here?" I didn't expect this grandson to be quite persistent, I shook the flashlight around, and said to Lao Zhou: "Look at it, it's cleaner than your face, you light a hammer and wax ......" My flashlight stayed in the corner of the wall, and there was a small stone tablet standing in the aperture.

I asked everyone to disperse to see what else could be found on this floor, and I took Chaoyangjun to see the stone monument. The stele was wiped clean, and the previous wave of people should have seen the stele here. The stele is densely engraved with words, and the title of the inscription is clearly engraved on the right - "The Sacred Calendar Fu Demon Yongzhen Chronicle". The inscription records that in the first year of Wu Zetian's holy calendar, there were demons in Taiping Town, and the process of Maitreya Buddha subduing demons in the present world and the Taiping people established Maitreya Temple to suppress demons. The content is roughly the same as the legend of Maitreya Buddha circulating locally, except that the appearance of Maitreya Buddha is not to enlighten the world but to subdue demons and catch monsters. The inscription specifically mentions that the monster's body is like a yaksha bleeding from the seven orifices, and it hurts people with swords and likes to eat human flesh - the seven orifices bleed? Could it be that the things below this are the evil spirits mentioned in the legend?

As I was looking at the inscription, the old dragon told me to hurry over. I hurriedly ran over, and the old dragon shone a flashlight on the left and right of the god general, and said to me, "Take a look, is it very familiar." "I looked at the light, and the god was holding a man in his hands, and the man had blood flowing from his eyes and mouth, and his expression was extremely painful. I nodded and told the old dragon that this was the place where the demons were suppressed back then. Lao Long listened but didn't think so, he fiddled with the iron rope with his hand, and said to me: "Mr. Liao, you are a new socialist youth, why do you still believe that there are demons and monsters in this world." Don't tell me, open the stone tablet in the middle, and rush out of it for thirty-six Tiangang and seventy-two earthly evil. "Hey, you're okay with "Water Margin" or something. I'm just telling you the basic situation here, and I haven't discussed with you whether there are demons and monsters in the world.

I was about to refute the old dragon when I heard a crisp sound, followed by a series of sounds, like some kind of machine running. Before I could react, I heard something cut through the air and hit the stele with a crisp sound. I didn't have time to react, I heard the old dragon call Mom, I was already pressed to the ground, I only felt something fly over my head, hit the stone monument next to me and make a clanging sound.

"What's going on! Isn't it one of you stupid X who touched it and shouldn't have touched it. "I was crushed and couldn't get up, and I felt like something had hit my backpack, so I could only scream. Everyone was dodging the attack of the hidden weapon, only Lao Zhou responded loudly from the corner: It's not me! The sound is as miserable as killing a pig.

After a while, the sound stopped, and I was helped up and asked if anyone had an accident. Everyone gathered around me, and everyone was safe except for the scratched arm of the mouse. I hurriedly asked if I had brought medical supplies down, and the mouse shook his head. I wanted to give myself a slap in the face, but I didn't think about getting them to buy some medical supplies. There is no choice but to use water to clean the wound for the rat first. Lao Zhou was frightened and asked to return to the ground quickly. While reassuring Lao Zhou, I looked around and found that there was a statue of a god that was different from what I had just observed—the right hand that was holding the iron rope had turned 180 degrees, showing a strange posture, and the iron rope was the one that the old dragon had just played.

I was so angry that I yelled at the old dragon: "Tell you not to touch things, this is so easy that I almost put the old boys here." Lao Long looked aggrieved and said that he didn't know such a thing. The rat persuaded me to dissipate my anger, and then picked up the hidden weapon from the ground, and I saw that it was a rusty arrowhead.

"Why are there only arrows?" Chaoyangjun asked. I took the arrow and looked at it, it should have been buried in the ground all year round, and the cluster of arrows had decayed, so only the arrow that was shot just now was the arrow, otherwise we would have been shot into hedgehogs. It seems that this place is not suitable for long, and I beckoned everyone to leave quickly, and this damn adventure must be over. I staggered back to the entrance of the cave, and my jaw fell to the ground from what I saw - the hole disappeared inexplicably......

Oh no! It's easy......

We looked at each other, not knowing what to do. I believe that at this moment, we can't find a second word to describe everyone's psychology except fear. The disappearance of the thief cave for no reason is completely contrary to natural common sense; The walls that replaced them undoubtedly bolted our only retreat. At this moment, the dungeon was as silent as the stagnant water, and I even smelled the spread of death. The mouse was the first to break the silence, picked up the folding shovel and made a hole in the wall, and only after a few blows did he shave off a little fur, so angry that the mouse threw the folding shovel on the ground. I sighed, the construction quality of this ancient person can really be regarded as made in China!. Lao Zhou sat on the ground with his buttocks and said with a crying voice: "I knew that I shouldn't have promised you, I didn't catch the things, and I was trapped." As soon as these words came out, pessimism spread. Lao Long wanted to go up and reason with Lao Zhou, but I pulled him back.

I was scratching my heart with a hundred claws, wondering if it was the old dragon who triggered some mechanism, but in this situation, I still don't act rashly. In addition, I couldn't think of any other way, so I simply sat down cross-legged and comforted Lao Zhou: "What are you panicking, there must be a way to get out." The old dragon hurriedly asked if there was any way, and I spread out my hand and said, "There is no way at the moment." The old dragon hung his head and sat down directly against me. I shook my surroundings with a flashlight to see if I could find a way out. I didn't find anything after looking around, but I felt that something was wrong but I couldn't say what was wrong.

Seeing that everyone was lifeless, I proposed to sing and enliven the atmosphere. The old dragon drooped his head and said dejectedly: "Your old man is also in a good mood, and now he still has the spirit to sing." "Don't be intimidated by the difficulties ahead, we should maintain our fighting enthusiasm and invincible confidence." After saying this, even I felt that I could go to the agency to make a report. However, the more difficult it is, the more we must keep a clear head and firm confidence in order to turn danger into a disaster. If we lose that, we're going to be trapped here. I encouraged Lao Long to sing a song for everyone first: "Why don't you start first?" ”

The old dragon couldn't help it, and he sang almost with a roar: "Love ...... when you die"

"Hey, crawl, crawl, crawl. You sing like a mourner, don't scare the minors. I tried to squeeze out a smile and said to the old dragon.

As soon as he heard this, Lao Long was still unhappy, and immediately retorted: "You call Lao Tzu to sing, and Lao Tzu will express his inner feelings." You said that Lao Tzu was mourning, why are you so difficult to serve. If you don't let Lao Zhou sing one, he sings well. ”

"Huh? Me? Lao Zhou has not yet broken free from the panic, and he opened his mouth and sang: "You also say talk about fasting, and I also talk about fasting......

"Get out!" We shouted in unison. What is the situation in our hearts now? You're still here with us to "chat about fasting"! Can't you just have a little cheerfulness?

"Chaoyangjun, you sing one for everyone, it's best to sing it in Henan dialect." I thought I needed some joy now to get my spirits up. "Chaoyang-kun? Chaoyangjun ...... "I turned my head to see that there was no one there, only a bottle of mineral water standing alone in place......

Back to the baby! Don't be kidding at this time!
