Chapter 57: Channing's Purpose

After the pangolin finished speaking, he began to slowly walk to the front of the screen, and opened the mechanism at the screen according to the previous method, but this time the crossbow arrow was not fired, but just when the sunken ground was about to recover, the pangolin suddenly didn't know where it moved, and the sunken ground did not close again, but just stopped, leaving a large space.

Looking at the pangolin's movements, I didn't understand what they were doing, so I had to lean up to the monk and ask, "I said, monk, what are you playing dumb riddles again?" ”

The monk looked at the sunken ground around the screen and said, "This colorful and exquisite pagoda has been a place to collect Buddha bone relics or flesh Buddhas since ancient times, and it has always been seven layers. As the old saying goes, there is a layer of one day and one turn, one reincarnation. When I saw this exquisite tower, I wondered why this tower was only built with five floors, until I remembered that Zhu Chun had ordered the legendary ruins to be sealed, and I realized that the remaining two floors were underground. ”

I couldn't help but ask him, "Then why do you say that the mechanism is in that screen?" ”

The monk smiled and said, "I just walked around twice, just to make sure there is no empty space under the ground here. This is a method of strengthening the body in our tantra, which can tell if the five meters below the ground are empty by the vibrations under our feet. But I walked around and didn't find any underground space, and I thought I was wrong. When I checked it for the second time, it dawned on me that someone had made another mechanism on the entrance mechanism, so that even if I met someone who knew how to do it, I wouldn't easily touch that mechanism again. ”

After listening to the monk's explanation, I was suddenly a little dumbfounded. Originally, I thought that I would not suffer a big loss even if I got along with these people in terms of scheming. But now I realize that I am like a scheming baby in front of these people.

While I was still here to sigh, there was a sudden soft cry from the pangolin. I turned my head to look and found that a downward hole had appeared in the ground that had been sunken downward, and the pangolins did not move, but looked at the monk. It seems that the monk's performance this time has been recognized by them, and in order not to lose manpower again, they will listen to the monk's opinion before acting.

The monk looked down at the hole and nodded, but didn't move. I understand what the monk meant, although he can guess the mechanism here, but he himself has no knowledge of these mechanism skills, so naturally he will not be the pioneer of opening the way. The pangolin people naturally understood what he meant, and at this time, it was still Qian Ning's sissy brother who was exploring the way.

He handed over all the bags on his body to Channing, and walked slowly down with a searchlight. I looked down slowly in the light of the searchlight, and saw that it was a spiraling down staircase, and the sissy went down a little bit, and then whistled loudly at us. This guy's mouth is so good that he can imitate the calls of different birds, and this time the whistle is very similar to that of a long-tailed deep in the mountains.

After hearing the bird's call, we walked down one after another. This is a very long staircase, and the walls on both sides are obvious brick structures, all of which are unique square bricks of the Ming Dynasty, and one has dozens of catties. There is such a large-scale project under this tower, which even the monk did not expect.

We walked down the stairs slowly, and finally reached the basement floor, I didn't expect that in the Ming Dynasty, there was already such a modern design, and I don't know if there will be all kinds of ox carts and carriages parked on the bottom floor.

When we went down to the B1 floor of the tower, we looked down the stairs, and there were hundreds of mirrors slowly placed in the whole space, and these mirrors were arranged irregularly, and it looked like a labyrinth from above. But I don't think these mirrors have any practical purpose, after all, these things are not real masonry structures, and even if we can't find our way to the past, we can just break the mirrors and walk straight to them.

But as soon as we walked down, I knew I was going to be really out of luck. Because right at the entrance to this mirror labyrinth, we found seven or eight bodies lying there, and judging by the clothes and the extent of the decay on their bodies, these guys must have been dead for a long time. According to the golden rule here, wherever a corpse appears, it must be a sign that I am going to start to be unlucky.

However, this time I didn't have time to sigh, Qian Ning and the lean man had already slowly walked over to check on these corpses, and after a while, Qian Ning's sissy brother also joined in. This makes me a little confused. According to my observations along the way, although this sissy is skilled, it may have a little bit of a cleanliness fetish, and this guy will never be three meters away from a dead person, especially near a very decomposed corpse.

But now this guy has even started to rummage through these corpses, and it seems that there must be something important to them on them.

After a while, the lean man and Qian Ning snorted softly, and the sissy heard Qian Ning's call and immediately ended the examination of the body, but immediately walked to Qian Ning's side.

When these three guys were picking and picking on these corpses, everyone, including the monk, didn't move, and Nangong wanted to go up to check it out, but was pulled back by the monk, as if the monk knew what these guys were looking for.

Seeing that these three guys couldn't stop for a while, I walked up to the monk and asked, "Monk, what do you say these three guys are looking for?" Shall we go up and have a look? ”

The monk glanced at me and whispered, "Among those corpses are their elders, and one of the purposes of their people here is to find out the whereabouts of these people. ”

I was stunned by the monk's words, the monk actually knew the purpose of these guys coming here, and listened to the monk's tone as if he was still very familiar with these people. Could it be that the monk knew these people in the first place? If that's the case, the situation between me and Nangong will be even more dangerous.

Originally, I thought that I could use the monk as a backer, and if I turned my face when I went out, I would be able to get a chance to escape, if even the monk was one of them, then Nangong and I would really be in a desperate situation.

However, the monk doesn't seem to have too much intersection with these people along the way, it doesn't seem to be in the same camp, and if the monk is in a group with them, they have no reason to play for me and Nangong, because with the strength of the two of us, it is not worth the monk and their efforts to make such a game.

I really couldn't figure out where the monk came from, so I had to ask him, "Monk, do you know the origin of these dead people?" What is the origin of Qian Ning and that skinny monkey? ”

The monk did not answer my question, but looked at me meaningfully and said, "You can go and see those corpses in a moment, maybe you will find some valuable clues." ”

Looking at the monk's playful face, I suddenly felt that if this guy was really cheap, he could fight with the schizophrenic of the lean man. Looking at his determined eyes, I suddenly felt a little uneasy in my heart, as if these corpses really had something to do with me. But it's almost impossible, and I don't know anyone who digs into the ground, so those corpses shouldn't have anything to do with me.

The monk beckoned to us and motioned for us to go over and have a look. I looked at the pangolin and saw that the guy didn't seem to be interested in the corpses at all, but he didn't say anything and walked with the monk. Seeing this, I had no choice but to follow.
