Chapter 102: Old Monk
The narrow and winding stone staircase seemed to lead to the netherworld, and the three guards had to line up to make it up the stone steps that had been full of malice towards visitors from the beginning of the excavation.
The air beneath the ground was very thin, apparently not connected to the outside world for a long time, and there was a damp and rancid smell in the air, and the further down it went, the stronger the smell became.
Mu Yan gave the activation of the two air circulation circles in the underground laboratory to the three guards, and applied a silent spell and odor elimination to the three of them, and then let them go.
As for himself, he sat cross-legged under the Buddha statue, holding a jade ball the size of a baby's head, and kept an eye on the situation around the three guards.
The crystal ball is one of the most commonly used spell casting tools by wizards in the Harry Potter world, but because the Lion Camel Mountain Range does not produce crystals, and other merchants rarely sell large quantities of crystals, Mu Yan can only settle for the next best thing, and he makes this jade ball out of large pieces of jade.
However, I don't know if it's because of the difference in production materials or the influence of those unrecognizable alchemy runes that Mu Yan has changed, the scene Mu Yan sees in this jade ball is always a little blurry.
The three guards walked for about a stick of incense before they stood on the flat bottom again.
Each of them held a weightless ball of light in their hands, and in the other hand they held a long knife customized for them by the Zhuang's Mansion, and the two people behind them also had a magic circle to control air circulation hanging from their waists, which could be said to be fully equipped.
With a report to the oval jade in their hands, the three of them cautiously explored forward.
The fluorescent light illuminates this underground space that has not seen light for a long time.
This is a space about the size of the upper floor, the whole space seems to have been submerged by mudslides, vermilion columns and unrecognizable stone walls that have collapsed by earth and rocks can be seen everywhere, orange strips of cloth and rotten wood almost mixed with the mud are scattered in the dirt, and a bronze incense burner with most of its collapse sticking out of the mud wall next to it, and a huge handprint that does not look like a human shape is printed on the collapsed side!
The trio continued to go deeper.
A stone Buddha half-buried in the soil gradually appeared at the end of this space, the head of the stone Buddha has disappeared, and the left hand has been cut off from the arm, the strange thing is that this arm did not fall to the ground, but in the mud layer above the head of the Buddha statue exposed a small half, giving people a strange feeling that the arm is moving upwards, the only intact right arm palm is covered by the equally intact right knee, the fingertips touch the ground, do the Buddhist demon seal......
Seeing this, Mu Yan understood that he had guessed correctly, the bottom of the Zhuang's Mansion was really a buried temple, and all kinds of facilities in the Zhuang's Mansion were also used to suppress the things in this temple.
As for what......
The oval jade in the lead guard's hand flew up automatically, and it flew into the air, a crack in the middle, and looked around like an eye.
The picture in Mu Yan's eyes finally became much clearer, and he carefully observed for a week, following the array of runes carved on the walls around the temple that had not yet completely collapsed, and found a black chain that was extremely inconsistent with the style of the temple.
"Dig along the chains!" He gave orders to the three of them.
So, the three of them cultivated their internal strength, and they were also a little powerful minions in the rivers and lakes, and immediately turned into excavators, and soon dug out a big hole in the ground that was not solid.
The sight in the pit shocked everyone.
The pitch black is that there was not only one chain, but a full eight, and the eight chains extended from eight directions, locking the one in the middle...... Monk!
Yes, this is a monk sitting cross-legged with his hands folded, and the wrinkles on his face indicate that he is old.
His clothes had been reduced to dust for a long time, but his whole body was still intact, except for the pale golden skin, which was a little dull, and the eight chains pierced his body without a trace of blood.
This is a Dharma monk who has become an old monk!
Mu Yan affirmed in his heart.
After all, being able to live in this dark place without eating, drinking, or even breathing, and living until everything around him rots and degrades, and he doesn't have any, which can only be explained by the profundity of Buddhist cultivation.
The old monk who was watched by everyone showed no sign of waking up, although his eyes were closed tightly and his chest showed no signs of heaving or undulating, but everyone present knew that he was not dead.
Because when they dug him out of the dirt, his head actually moved.
But as soon as he moved, the surrounding chains immediately tightened, and a thick blood light passed along the chains, like twisted strange insects, frantically drilling into the old monk's body! Then all of them were blocked by the golden light that swept out of his flesh!
It is conceivable that in the past days, such a scene has happened more than once, the old monk just sat alone in this dark underground, unable to speak, unable to move, let the clothes on his body be broken, let himself gradually sink into the soil, silently against this formation, this confrontation, is hundreds, even thousands of years!
Seeing this scene, Mu Yan immediately ordered a few people to destroy their source along the iron lock, while his jade pupil stayed in place, quietly observing the old monk.
All he could do now was pray that the formation around him was not the kind of formation that was particularly strong against external forces, otherwise, he would have to give up for the time being this time.
As for what you want to say, let him go down himself...... That's obviously impossible, this secret passage is so deep, if the Pure Mind does something in it, such as once someone breaks the formation and collapses the entire space, then Mu Yan will definitely be dead and lifeless.
After a while, in the direction where the three guards left, there was a sound of bells crashing in the space, but Mu Yan, who had been receiving the sound in order to increase the jade pupil, had stopped the alchemy matrix that received the sound, and now he couldn't hear any sound below at all, but through the trembling amplitude of the three chains, he still guessed the current movements of the three guards.
The movement of the three guards went unexpectedly smoothly.
Soon two of the three chains hung limply to the ground.
However, at the moment when the iron chain was broken, the entire underground space suddenly burst into a violent roar, and the soft earth and stone collapsed, burying the entire space in the desperate eyes of the three guards!
In this falling rain of earth and stones, the old monk's eyes opened, and his vicissitudes and tired eyes looked at Mu Yan through this jade pupil.
"Amitabha!"
An old Buddha horn sounded directly in Mu Yan's heart!
The next moment, the old monk's whole body burned with golden flames, and he died in the flames little by little like a phoenix nirvana!
A large gray hand suddenly pierced out from behind him, grasping something in the flames, and before Mu Yan could see clearly, tons of earth and stones poured down, obscuring his vision.
In the basement, Mu Yan slowly opened his eyes and frowned silently.
The ground in front of him suddenly broke, and a gray Buddha's hand stretched out of the ground in front of him, and in the palm of his hand, a golden relic flowed with colorful glass light.
