Chapter 167: Fourth Floor
This is too much, old man, we weren't very scared, but when you said that, it raised our hearts to our throats. But then again, what did he feel? What's behind this black wooden door?
……
……
We gathered around the wooden door, and couldn't help frowning, because there was a strange concentric lock hanging on this wooden door, from the point of view of technology, this should be a modern lock, if I guessed correctly, this door should be locked by the staff in the Forbidden City, the old man took out a wire from his pocket, and I asked him: "You will do this trick too?" ”
The old man said, "I don't have the same skills as Lao Yang, but it's no problem to open this kind of small lock." ”
I nodded: "Come on, it's up to you." ”
The old man bent the wire, aimed at the lock cylinder and tinkered with it, this scene can't help but make us miss the dead Uncle Yang, he is an expert in the organ, the twelve big copper locks in the tomb are all opened by him with a wire, the craft is really no one, but unfortunately the death is too miserable, and in the end there is not even ash left.
The old man worked intently for more than three minutes, and finally broke the lock, he breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped his sweat, and said to us, "Walk lightly, go." ”
He pushed open the dark wooden door and shone his flashlight inside, only to see us not a staircase, but a strange charm. The spell is written in Sanskrit, and the strokes are miserable and strange. Even if I haven't seen the real mantra with my own eyes, but at least I've seen it in the movie, generally speaking, whether it's a Taoist or a Buddhist, which of the mantras written is not strong and powerful, majestic? Otherwise, how can you suppress the evil spirits? But the way this spell is written is very weird, it doesn't look like it's written with a brush at all, but like blood spurting out of the mouth, in short, it's wrong.
The old man looked solemn, looked at the charm on the wall and muttered, "Fuck...... What is this charm on the wall? It's really fucking evil, is there really something weird sealed in this fourth floor? ”
I anxiously asked the old man, "What can I do?" We didn't bring the black donkey's hooves! ”
The old man glared at me and said, "That black donkey's hooves are a fart, it's not as good as a plate of garlic cucumbers." ”
I nodded: "That makes sense, old man, it's no wonder that people in Europe and the United States exorcise ghosts, and they all have a circle of garlic around their necks." ”
Pudding said angrily: "Can you two stop talking about it, what black donkey hooves garlic cucumbers, let me tell you, even if this kind of place is Sadako crawls out, don't be afraid, you don't look at what kind of place this is, the first, second and third floors combined, there are nearly three hundred Buddhas, which ghost is so short-sighted?" Climb out and give away heads? ”
When the old man and I heard this, we suddenly woke up, our four eyes were like preserved eggs, and we looked at the pudding with admiration and said, "You're right, don't say it, or you look at the problem more sharply, huh...... Think about it, it's really like this, there are Buddhas behind us, what is there to be afraid of? Besides, if there is really a powerful ghost upstairs, it means that these charms can suppress it, let's just take something and run, it will definitely not be able to get out. ”
As the saying goes: Three stinkers are Zhuge Liang. We hit it off, laughing, the three of them grinned, revealing two rows of thriving yellow teeth, as if they had already regarded all cows, ghosts, snakes and gods as nothing, heroes and my generation, what to fear.
So, a few of us quietly climbed up to the fourth floor, but when we climbed up and took a look, we were disappointed, because there was nothing unusual about this fourth floor, and I thought it was so mysterious, wasn't it?
The last emperor Pu Yi once said that the reason why Yuhua Pavilion was never open to the public was precisely because of the mysterious fourth floor.
A few of us climbed up to the fourth floor with half surprise and half amazement, only to find that it was actually quite ordinary. The area of the fourth floor is not large, about fifty or sixty square meters, with a square layout, a small Buddha statue on the south side, bookshelves on the east and west sides, and an empty one on the north side. In addition, there is also a large clay pot in the middle of the room, or a water tank, which is the kind smashed by Sima Guang, which is quite large, but it is not valuable, and I don't know what it is used for here, it looks very strange.
The old man walked up to the small Buddha statue, looked at it carefully, and asked us in confusion: "Didn't Pu Yi say that there is a statue of the Buddha of Joy hidden on the fourth floor of the Yuhua Pavilion that must not be seen by outsiders, can't it be this one?" ”
I walked to the Buddha statue in front of it, and took a closer look to understand what the old man meant, at this moment the Buddha statue in front of us, not only is not in good condition, but also a wooden, not a precious wood, to put it bluntly, it is an ancient bargain, this kind of thing is more expensive than the clay pot in the antique market, you dare to ask for a four-digit price, the boss can splash you with oil, and definitely let you stay where you are cool.
But here's the problem:
As the emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty, Pu Yi has never seen anything rare? There are a total of 74 pieces of Ru kiln porcelain in the world, and he Puyi alone has 27 pieces, this guy is not an ignorant master, there is no such thing as "looking away", but at this moment the Buddha statue in front of us is indeed not very valuable, not hard goods at all.
What's going on here?
Pudding said solemnly: "This wooden Buddha statue is by no means the one Pu Yi said, the real one, I'm afraid it has already been put away by the staff of the Forbidden City." ”
The old man nodded and said: "It makes sense, whether it is a museum or the Forbidden City, there are not many real things that can be displayed, even the "Mona Lisa's Smile" in the Louvre is not a fake, the real works are stored in the sterile warehouse, and what you can see is just a high imitation." ”
I sighed, "It's a pity, I wanted to see what that statue of the Buddha of Joy looked like, and it was so evil." ”
The old man said, "It seems that we don't have this eye." ”
Pudding said: "It's nothing to see the rare hard goods, but I'm afraid that the secret of the monk is precisely on that Buddha statue, if that's the case, then it's troublesome." ”
The old man frowned and said, "I shouldn't be carrying it like this......"
I said anxiously: "Come on, let's take a look at the ancient books on these shelves first, and see if we can find any literature about the monk of Guixu, Pudding's mouth has never been able to spit out ivory, but don't really tell her." ”
Pudding listened to my words, and her brain was smoking, but due to the urgency of the situation, she didn't have time to quarrel with me, so a few of us began to act separately, and conducted a careful investigation of the two rows of bookshelves in the house. This is the same as the fact that Jay Chou will never appear in Lu Xun's book, after all, there are several generations apart.
This time we panicked.
In this way, it seems that if you want to know the secret of the monk Guiru, you have to find the Buddha of Joy. According to our inference, that item has been collected into the warehouse by the Forbidden City, how can this be stolen?
Just when everyone was anxious, Gu Nianxia on the side pointed to the ordinary big water tank and said: Is it possible that the things we are looking for are in this tank?
