Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Black Buddha

"Partridge Whistle" saw the dead man's white bones, he had a sense of foreboding, heard Elder Chen's heavy tone, knew that it was not trivial, and asked Elder Chen, what is the Bodhisattva's closed eyes?

Elder Lichen said: "There are seventy-two broken moons, tonight is the right time to break the big break, out of the evil to pay for the evil, the legend of this kind of day, the ground Yang Qi is weak, the Taiyin star is the head, the most likely to have strange things happen, who dares to enter the tomb at this time to touch the gold, the old man thought that this was an ownerless empty tomb at the beginning, I didn't think that there was a corpse in it, and what was even more evil was the thousand-eyed black Buddha behind the white bones, this black Buddha is not an ordinary thing, if there is an evil spirit hidden in the tomb, our black donkey hooves and glutinous rice and other things, will not be useful tonight, let's retreat." ”

Although the "Partridge Whistle" was reluctant, he also knew that it was powerful, so he didn't say much at the moment, and together with Elder Chen and the American priest, he turned around and wanted to go back from the tunnel under the jade gate.

The three of them turned and retreated, and the back team became the front team, and the American priest Thomas walked in the front, and when Father Thomas saw that the two were going out, he really couldn't ask for it, so he immediately found the tunnel entrance, lit a candle that the "Partridge Whistle" had given him before, and wanted to run in and run.

Elder Lichen, who was in second place, shouted, "Not good. Reaching out and grabbing Father Thomas's collar, he pulled him back, only to see a thick black mist suddenly erupt from the tunnel, if Elder Chen's movements were a little slower, Father Thomas would have been touched by the black mist, as long as he was one step late, probably now the pious priest had gone to see his God.

Both the "Partridge Whistle" and the Elder Dust knew that this was the poisonous smoke from the ancient tomb. The only passage is set up with such a vicious mechanism, it can be seen that the yin of the Tangut people is ruthless and cunning, I don't know which of the three people encountered the machine, which activated the poisonous smoke mechanism, thanks to Elder Chen, although he is old, but he has a lot of experience, which saved Father Thomas's life.

This black poisonous smoke may have been boiled with the poisonous juice of millipedes, which is thick but not dispersed, like a solidified black liquid. The black mist erupted more and more from the tunnels. "Partridge Whistle" and the other three people have taken the secret medicine of poison, and most of the secret medicine of "Captain Touching Gold" is made to deal with corpse poison, and it is unknown whether it can have any effect against such a thick poisonous smoke.

Seeing the strong black poisonous smoke coming quickly, the three of them did not dare to be careless, so they had to retreat to the corner of the tomb with human bones, but there was no shelter here, and they reached the end after a few steps back, how could they find a way to block the poisonous smoke and prevent it from entering the back room of the ancient tomb.

"Partridge Whistle" and Elder Chenchen are not worried that there is no way out, and they are carrying a whirlwind shovel on their bodies, so they can fight back and go out of the hole, but they can't stop the poisonous smoke. In a moment, the corpse will be on the ground.

Even with the wit of the "Partridge Whistle" and the experience of Elder Chen, there is nothing to be done, if it is an ordinary poisonous smoke, it only needs to hold his breath and use the medicinal power of the "Red Soul Pill" to rush out, but the thickness of this black poisonous smoke has never been seen before. The three of them had been cautious since they entered the tomb, and it was impossible to trigger any mechanism, and no one could figure out how the black smoke came out.

Behind him is the stone wall of the tomb, and the backs of the three people such as the "Partridge Whistle" stick to the wall, no matter how much skill you have, there is no way back here, so you have to watch the black smoke slowly come over.

When Father Thomas saw this terrifying poisonous mist, his face was so shocked that he forgot to pray for God's blessing for a while, and the "Partridge Whistle" pushed Father Thomas's shoulder next to him and asked, "Hey, the foreign monk who worships God, why didn't your master come to save you now that your eyebrows are burning?" ”

Only then did Father Thomas remember that he was a clergyman, and said calmly: "Almighty Heavenly Father is probably busy with other things, and he can't help me, but I believe that I will definitely go to heaven after I die, and it is not important to live, the important thing is to go to heaven after death, and believe in God for eternal life." ”

"Partridge Whistle" sneered: "Hmph, it turns out that your master is so busy, I think since he can't be busy, it means that he is not very competent, so it is better to let a monkey be God, the monkey is very energetic." ”

When Father Thomas heard the "Partridge Whistle" say that God is not as good as a monkey, he immediately became furious, and was about to speak to him, but he heard the "Partridge Whistle" and then said: "Monk Yang, if you are willing to return to my Buddha now and no longer believe in that bullshit God, I have a way to keep you from dying, if you don't agree, at most one minute, the poisonous fog will spread here, unless you are not flesh and blood, otherwise in a minute or so at most, you will be smoked by the poisonous smoke and bleed to death." ”

"I admire you for being so calm at the end of your life," said Father Thomas, but I ask you to respect my faith...... But though, can the Bodhisattva really survive? Are you lying to me? ”

Elder Lichen has also discovered the key to the poisonous smoke, listening to the meaning of "Partridge Whistle", he should also have come up with a way to get out, Elder Lichen saw that at this critical juncture, "Partridge Whistle" still had the heart to joke with the American priest, and couldn't help but admire his courage.

It turned out that the "partridge whistle" saw that the front was completely covered by black fog, subconsciously clinging to the wall, feeling a cold around him, touching an object, looking sideways, but it was a lamp on the wall of the tomb, this position should be on the top of the coffin, hanging the everlasting lamp.

Now there is no coffin in the tomb, just an empty lamp embedded in the wall, what is the "partridge whistle" and the eyes of the dust elder doing, at a glance you can see that there is a problem with the position of this lamp, according to the convention, the ever-bright lamp is in the position of three feet three inches, and the height of this lamp is obviously a piece lower, that is, half an inch lower, the angle of the lampstand is slightly inclined downward, this must be a dark wall mechanism, as long as the lampstand is pushed up, the entire tomb wall will be flipped, open the secret room hidden in the back room, the secret room is extremely hidden, this place is also named"Insert the pavilion", which is used to put the most important burial goods of the tomb owner, even if the ancient tomb is stolen by tomb robbers, the bright objects in this secret room are not easy to be found by tomb robbers.

"Partridge Whistle" is bold, when he is not allowed to send it, he still frightens the foreign priest, seeing that he would rather die than give up, and refuses to abandon God to convert to Buddha, but also admires his piety, and his heart is quite a little unwilling, the black fog in the tomb in front of him is getting thicker and thicker, and the "Partridge Whistle" does not dare to be too big, raise his hand to grab the ever-bright lamp, push it up, the ever-bright lamp embedded in the wall really moved, only a series of muffled sounds were heard in the ears, and the wall behind the three people turned back. The dust on the stone walls was flying, and the heads of the people were covered with dust.

Behind the wall is an ancient tomb with a width of only two zhang "Insert Pavilion", with a mechanism of the movable wall turned, the thousand-armed black Buddha, and the white bones that fell on the wall were brought in, this "Insert Pavilion" is not like the outside tomb There are so many rare jewels, only a locked box.

The "Partridge Whistle" didn't care to take a closer look, so he turned the tomb into two pieces, and smeared the soil below on the cracks in the wall to prevent the black poisonous smoke from coming in through the cracks in the wall, and found that the soil under this "Plug Pavilion" was relatively soft, and it was safe to fight the thief hole within an hour, and it should not be a problem for the air here to be maintained for such a short time.

Elder Lichen has been fighting all his life, and he is no stranger to this kind of narrow tomb, and when he saw that the "partridge whistle" did not stop for a moment, he immediately used a whirlwind shovel to start fighting against the robbery hole, so he twisted the Buddha beads in his hand, and sat down cross-legged to meditate.

Father Thomas saw that "Partridge Whistle" and Elder Dust were still doing their own thing, and no one spoke, so he couldn't help but ask Elder Dust: "Have you noticed that there is something in the black mist outside?" I don't think it looks like poison gas. ”

Elder Lichen closed his eyes and was silent, and after a while, he slowly opened his glasses, and Father Thomas said, "Why, you also saw it?" ”

Father Thomas nodded and said, "The moment I was finally turned in by the flap door, I was very close to the black smoke, and it seemed that there was a human figure in the black smoke, especially a Buddha statue, what ......was it?"

"Partridge Whistle" was burying his head in the thief hole, listening to the words of Father Thomas and Elder Dust, he couldn't help but raise his head, and the moment the wall turned into the cabinet, he also saw the kind of vision in the black fog.

Elder Lichen thought for a while, pointed to the multi-handed black Buddha statue against the wall, and said: "The legend of the black Buddha is the evil god worshiped by the ancient Sui Ling, specializing in controlling and dominating the darkness, the cult of the envelope dark Buddha has been exterminated by the government as early as the end of the Tang Dynasty, and I can't imagine that there is a dark Buddha statue hidden in the Xixia court, the raw material of this black Buddha may be the rotten jade of ancient Persia, the legend is that this rotten jade is a very rare strange stone, there is a jade name, but it is not jade, once any animal touches the rotten jade, the skin and flesh and internal organs of the whole body will turn into pus in an instant, Only a skeleton remains, and the soul of the deceased will be paid to the Dark Buddha, so that the ghost will not disappear

Elder Lichen thought for a while, pointed to the multi-handed black Buddha statue against the wall, and said: "The legend of the black Buddha is the evil god worshiped by the ancient Sui Ling, specializing in controlling and dominating the darkness, the cult of the envelope dark Buddha has been exterminated by the government as early as the end of the Tang Dynasty, and I can't imagine that there is a dark Buddha statue hidden in the Xixia court, the raw material of this black Buddha may be the rotten jade of ancient Persia, the legend is that this rotten jade is a very rare strange stone, there is a jade name, but it is not jade, once any animal touches the rotten jade, the skin and flesh and internal organs of the whole body will turn into pus in an instant, Only a skeleton remains, and the soul of the deceased will be paid to the Dark Buddha, so that the ghost will not disappear. ”

"Partridge Whistle" looked at the human bone of Bai Sensen, and said to Elder Chen: "It seems that this white bone may have been a loyal guard before his death, and he chose to stay in the treasure cave, touch the rotten jade and die, guarding the treasures in the cave, the three of us encountered a sudden black smoke, maybe it was not poisonous smoke at all, but ......" Don't go on, everyone also understands what it means.

Elder Lichen asked the "Partridge Whistle" and Father Thomas to go so that his skin could not touch the Black Buddha statue, and quickly broke through the hole and left, if there is really a black Buddha evil spirit, this area of a pavilion must stop it, Elder Lichen remembered that the human bone was holding a bunch of keys in his hand, so he took it down, there was a box in the cabinet, maybe it was the "Dust Bead" inside, did this set of keys have a handful of them to open this box? Give it a try.

Elder Lichen lit the candle, in this "cabinet" there is no need to find any southeast corner, as long as there can be a little light, pick up the key and try it sure enough, one of the keys can just open the lock on the box, the "partridge whistle" of the thief hole has been beaten out more than a zhang, when I came up to scatter the soil, I saw that Elder Chen opened the box, and I couldn't help but want to see if there was a "dust bead" inside, so I stopped the whirlwind shovel in my hand and opened the box with Elder Chen, However, there was only one tortoise shell engraved with different characters in the box.

"Partridge Whistle" is full of enthusiasm, although psychologically prepared, still can't help but be extremely disappointed, it seems to be drenched in a basin of ice water by the head of the three or nine days, from head to toe is cold, Leng on the spot, feel that the throat is sweet, wow, spit out a mouthful of blood, all sprayed on the tortoise shell.

Elder Lichen was shocked, knowing that the "Partridge Whistle" was too hot and too complicated, and the more such people were, the more persistent they were about things, and they were prone to vomiting blood when their mood fluctuated, and they were worried that the "Partridge Whistle" would faint to the ground, so he hurriedly reached out with Father Thomas to hold him.

But at this time, Elder Lichen found that the eyes of the Black Buddha on the side of the wall were all opened, and the hundreds of eyes on the Black Buddha were watching the three tomb robbers who broke into the treasure cave in the dark, exuding an evil and resentful aura.
