Chapter 185: The Inner Should Appear
Li Tianming had expected the temple to be heavily guarded, but he did not expect to encounter a few unsuspecting lamas, who were powerless against the almost heavily armed group of intruders. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After going around the temple, Li Tianming believed that it was definitely no coincidence that this temple was built here, and the four monks in it were not just chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha, they were here, they should be taking care of something.
They are the legendary "grave keepers".
Judging from the architectural furnishings in the "temple", these monks have always lived a life of pure hearts and few desires.
There are two rooms in the cave, one is the living place of the monks, and there is nothing in it except simple bedding, which shows that these lamas usually live a very poor life.
The other room is where they chanted, which should be the main hall. This room is slightly larger, with two dark red wooden doors depicting a skull door god holding a staff.
In the main hall is a shrine that sits on a boulder, and the frame around the shrine is painted with various skulls. Inside is enshrined a tantric Buddha statue, the head of which is entwined by Hada, and it is difficult to see the true face. Li Tianming knew that Tantra forbade the laity to peek at the secret parts of the Dharma Protector God, so the Buddha statues were generally wrapped in hada and silk satin, and did not show the laity.
More than a dozen large and small shrines have been carved out of the surrounding mountain walls, which enshrine all kinds of sculptures and portraits, these tantric Buddha statues are not the common benevolent eyebrows, but wrath statues, double statues, multi-armed multi-faceted statues, one multi-armed statue, etc., full of exotic strange colors.
As a tomb robber, Li Tianming was not interested in these things, he could see that these statues were carved in modern times, no more than a hundred years old, and the materials were mediocre, and they could not be sold for a good price - not to mention, the purpose of his trip was not just for money.
This temple is located on the cave eye, and if you find the cave eye, you can find the secret passage to the dragon's lair, which is the real purpose of Li Tianming's trip - to find the immortal spring.
He had heard the legend of the Fountain of Immortality for a long time, and he was almost ecstatic when the dragon dragon approached him for this expedition.
From the information revealed by the dragon head, Li Tianming confirmed that the legend of the Immortal Spring was true. Dawn realised that this was perhaps his best and only chance to get out of the faucet's control.
After the last incident at the Yewang Tomb in Shaanxi, Li Tianming suffered heavy losses, and he realized that this "anti-water" might endanger his position and even his life, after all, Ah Chong was the person sent by the dragon. Judging from past experience, everyone sent by the dragon head is not ordinary.
Originally, he wanted to get the treasure of the Wild King's Tomb, and then disguised it as an accident, but at the critical moment, the Wild King suddenly appeared as a ghost, and the possessed Iron Rider descendant Huang Shan was so powerful that he was almost wiped out, and he was blinded in one eyeball.
Fortunately, he endured the pain and pretended to be dead, so he was able to pick up a life.
Later, when he reported to the leader, Li Tianming insisted that it was an accident, and there was a misunderstanding due to poor communication with Ah Chong. He didn't even believe in this nonsense, but for some reason the dragon head actually bought it, and did not continue to pursue the matter, but was very concerned about the whereabouts of the grandson in Huangshan.
Li Tianming once suspected that this Ah Chong should have concealed part of the truth when he reported to the leader, otherwise he would not easily let go of himself with the style of doing things with the leader. Why Ah Chong did this, Li Tianming didn't understand.
There was an "accident" on the last trip to northern Shaanxi, that is, I got acquainted with Mo Laosan.
Before this expedition to Tibet, the dragon head said that he would introduce someone to him, this person is a master of tomb robbing, familiar with all kinds of mechanism and mysticism, and Li Tianming's entourage may help him - Li Tianming never expected that this master would be Mo Laosan.
Seeing Mo Laosan who had regained his sight, Li Tianming was resentful of the dragon head in his heart, since you have the ability to let the old blind Mo Laosan see the light of day again, why don't you cure my blind eye? Li Tianming believes that the dragon head is deliberately punishing himself!
As for punishing himself for the failure of tomb robbery, or punishing himself for anti-water, it is unknown.
Li Tianming knew that he still had value in the eyes of the dragon, and over the years, the cultural relics and antiques handled by Li Tianming were a very astonishing number if they were all listed.
How much money these cultural relics were exchanged for, even Li Tianming himself couldn't imagine, but he could only take a very small part of the "hardship fee", and most of the income fell into the pockets of the dragon head.
Although he has long passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, Li Tianming's desire for money and wealth is increasing day by day.
Li Tianming is old, he feels that he has too many regrets in his life, most of his life has been spent in fear and trembling, and he has not even had time to enjoy the wealth he has earned.
How he wanted to borrow another 500 years from heaven, as the song sang.
Now, how ironic it is that Heaven has placed this opportunity in his present, the Fountain of Youth, at his feet, close at hand, yet far away.
In order to find the hole, Li Tianming's subordinates tortured the two lamas for a long time, but they gained nothing.
originally wanted to torture this old and young monk, but was stopped by Mo Laosan. Mo Laosan said that these two people seem to have unusual identities, and they can't do it unless they have to.
This old lama looks more than a hundred years old, maybe a slap will kill him, although he looks weak, but his eyes are always ruthless.
And this middle-aged monk is even more strange, with an extraordinary bearing and transcendent concentration. No matter how Li Tianming tossed them, they didn't react, and they didn't take them to heart at all, as if these people were just passing ants.
Li Tianming still attaches great importance to Mo Laosan's opinion, this old man who seems to be obscene and obscene has real skills - at least the way up the mountain was found by Mo Laosan. With this, he is better than his own gang of reckless men who can only wield knives and guns.
After subduing Jin Guoqiang, Li Tianming also had a showdown with Mo Laosan, and in this expedition, he decided to turn back and break away from the control of the dragon's head. Now give you two paths......
Needless to say, which two roads are there, Mo Laosan also understands.
"Of course I chose to follow you, I have long wondered, how can a hero like you, Uncle Li, be willing to live under others? Now I understand, your golden scales are not a thing in the pool, and they will turn into dragons when they encounter wind and clouds. ”
As the saying goes, thousands of clothes are worn, and sycophants are not worn, Mo Laosan's flattery Li Tianming actually listened very comfortably, this Mo Laosan said it very cleverly, if this thing is done, then I am not a carp jumping over the dragon gate, flying dragon for nine days?
This Mo Lao is not much younger than Li Tianming in the third year, but when he shouts "Uncle Li", he is called a mouthful, and his expression is quite natural. Seeing the wind and the ability to rudder this time, the scar gold looked disgusting for a while.
In order to let Mo Laosan die for himself, Li Tianming also revealed his wishful thinking to Mo Laosan. He judged that beneath the cave was the dragon's nest, which contained countless gold and silver treasures and the legendary fountain of immortality.
As long as you can help me find the dragon's nest, then we will divide the treasure, drink the sacred spring together, and then go directly over the mountains and cross the border, and run abroad with the treasure to enjoy the boundless.
Of course, Li Tianming didn't give Scar Gold when he painted this big cake, and they heard it, and those reckless men didn't deserve to enjoy this beautiful picture.
This Mo Laosan is also an unprincipled person, his eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly agreed. After all, he witnessed Scar Jin not hesitate to strangle Jin Guoqiang's people, and his own life was pinched in his hands.
Li Tianming was also very satisfied with Mo Laosan's attitude, and he didn't have much to lose by writing him a blank check anyway.
But now, Li Tianming's mood is not beautiful at all.
He personally inspected this temple before and after, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.
Mo Laosan carried an iron ruler and a compass, and spent a whole day tinkering there, and it didn't look like there was any progress.
Li Tianming's patience and good mood are fading little by little, and the shadow in his heart is gradually spreading.
Is this fate? I can't go against the sky after all?
He paced back and forth on the ground, and the eyes of the yin owl swept over the faces of Ah Chong, Xiao Hei, Zi Yang, Lao Wang and others one by one. All the old faces of the trip to northern Shaanxi gathered here. Isn't this also a kind of fate?
Dawn walked over to Xiao Hei, who was lying on the ground, and stepped on his leg where he had been shot.
Xiao Hei was bleeding for a while after being shot in the thigh, but at this extremely low temperature, the bleeding quickly stopped and scabbed, and the wound was split open by Li Tianming's step. Xiao Hei was shocked, but he didn't open his mouth to scream, just gritted his teeth and gurgled.
Lao Wang hurriedly said beside him: "Hey, hey, what are you doing, don't you have something to say?" It's not bullying women or bullying children, what kind of ability is it? ”
Li Tianming sneered: "Little child? He killed one of my men as soon as he made a move, but it's not as simple as a child! “
Then he said to everyone viciously: "Say, how did you find it?" I don't believe that you can find this dragon's lair eye with this little information! ”
Lao Wang said: "We ......"
At this time, Ah Chong stood up and said, "I found it, and I brought them up." ”
"You?" Dawn stared at him fiercely.
Ah Chong looked at Li Tianming expressionlessly.
Dawn is furious, and everyone under this dragon head looks like they are on top! He remembered the fear of being once dominated by the dragon head and his men.
"I understand, the surname Zhang has great magical powers, and he even understands the ability to find dragons and points! You are his proud disciple, and he naturally passed on his skills to you! ”
Thinking that he had been working for the leader for most of his life and being called like a dog, Li Tianming couldn't help but feel a sense of grief and indignation in his heart.
"He's so good, why don't you dig up antiques yourself?" Li Tianming screamed in his mouth and kicked Ah Chong one by one.
Li Tianming had some emotional breakdowns.
Ah Chong shook a few times, but still stood up straight, looking at Li Tianming coldly.
After all, Li Tianming is old, and he is on the plateau, he can't kick after kicking twice, while bending over and panting, he pointed at Ah Chong and ordered Scar Jin: "Beat him, beat him!" ”
Scar Jin rubbed his big hand, stepped forward and punched Ah Chong's stomach, and Ah Chong's painful waist bent down.
Scar Jin was merciless, his fists and feet rained down on Ah Chong's body, Ah Chong held up a few times, staggered and stood firm, he knew that as long as he attracted the anger of Li Tianming and Scar Jin, then Zi Yang and they would be safe.
Scar Jin held back his strength and kicked Ah Chong in the chest, this time he used the strength of his whole body, Ah Chong was kicked away, and fell in front of the door with a pop, startling Mo Laosan, who had just gone out.
Mo Laosan hurriedly helped Ah Chong up and said, "Oh, young man, why are you so stubborn, wouldn't it be good to admit your mistake to Uncle Li." ”
Mo Laosan's inexplicable insertion also blocked Scar Jin's round of offensive. Scar Jin was also a little tired, and stood there panting for breath with his waist pinched.
Zi Yang saw that when Mo Laosan helped Ah Chong, he imperceptibly stuffed a shiny thing into his hand.
