Chapter Sixty-Seven: Venerable with the Golden Body

The three of them looked around with torches, and the situation in the Demon Pavilion was not as terrifying as I imagined. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoMaybe the monk is right, these are just gimmicks used to bluff people. The monk first checked the room and made sure that there were no hidden mechanisms here, and then I dared to walk around with confidence.

I didn't find anything in the room that could be linked to the "monster", but I didn't find any clues about the treasure. The stone walls of the Demon Pavilion are covered with murals. In addition, there are thirteen bronze statues of gold bodies and two animal heads in the pavilion.

After the monk came in, he was attracted by these golden bronze statues placed in the pavilion. Master explained that these bronze statues corresponded to the thirteen Golden Venerables, and the bronze statues were all cast according to the proportions of normal people. Thirteen bronze statues, without exception, are all gilded with gold.

These thirteen Golden Venerables are very different from the images of Venerable Ones I have seen in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple before. In addition to the costumes, hairstyles, magic weapons, movements, and even the expressions on their faces made people feel uncomfortable. In my impression, Venerable Ones should all be majestic and righteous images, but the Venerable Golden Body here exudes an indescribable evil aura no matter how you look at it.

I shuddered and turned my head to look at the murals around me. The murals on the stone walls in the pavilion are dazzling. I was going to see some clues about the Demon Town Pavilion or this dungeon from this, but I took a cursory look at it, and I could find very little relevant information.

The murals in the Demon Pavilion can be roughly divided into three categories. The first category, and the most numerous, type of murals are about the portraits of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Venerable Beings during the prevalence of Buddhism in the country of Yero; The second type of murals are mostly fragments taken from Buddhist scriptures and painted on the wall through murals.

These two types of murals account for the vast majority of the murals in the cabinet. If one day, these murals are lucky enough to be discovered by the outside world, they are likely to become treasures of history. But now they are of no use to us, and I don't see any clues in them that I want to know.

In addition to these two categories, there is also a small part of the murals, which depict some realistic scenes that took place in the country of Yelang at that time. The content of this type of mural is relatively simple, and most of them have a certain connection between the front and back. At this time, a long series of pictures attracted the attention of my master and me.

The mural begins with a scene of a procession of monks in the temple to greet a person who has come to worship the Buddha. This scene is depicted in the mural very spectacularly, and judging from the costume of the pilgrim and the entourage behind him, the pilgrim must be in a high position. It is even highly likely that the pilgrim on the mural was the Yelang King at that time.

This thought suddenly popped into my mind, and the next page is the scene of this person entering the treasure hall and offering incense to worship the Buddha. But when I looked back, I found that the third picture had been deliberately scraped off with a knife.

Suddenly, I was extremely puzzled. Why was this picture scratched off? And it ruined this one alone. Someone is deliberately covering up something? What was originally on the mural? Who scraped it off?

For a while, countless questions poured into my mind. And from the scratches left on the mural, it can be inferred that the mural should have been destroyed a long time ago.

Originally, I didn't think there was anything special about this mural, but now my curiosity has been completely piqued. The third picture was destroyed, so I had no choice but to skip this one and continue looking back. But when I looked back, I felt that something was wrong, and the content before and after the mural began to become a little incoherent.

From the fourth image onwards, the background of the mural is no longer a temple, but a dark environment that resembles an underground cave. The content of this article is already the process of inspecting the construction of the underground palace on the observation deck of the side cliff accompanied by several monks.

The huge change in the style and content made me realize that there must be some key part of this that happened in the third chapter, which made me more and more curious. Moreover, the waterfall outside the underground palace also appeared in the mural for the first time. And the giant stone carved Buddha statue we have seen, so far, has not appeared.

By the fifth, the background of the mural remains the same. But the waterfall was gone, and the general outline of the giant stone Buddha statue was now visible. Compared with the size of the Buddha statue, those workers on the mural look like ants, hanging densely in front of the Buddha statue busy.

But to my great surprise, I saw many blue points of light in the cave at the foot of the Buddha statue in the picture. I stepped forward to take a closer look, and then I realized that those spots of light were the weird blue spots we had seen earlier.

I couldn't figure out what I found. But it turned out that it was clear from the mural that there was a connection between the blue spots and the construction of the giant Buddha statue. And if you insist on linking this series of murals with the "demon town", the only thing that can show the intention of the demon is the fifth picture.

Because the master said that there is indeed a saying that "Buddha statues suppress demons". And judging from the frescoes, the foot of this Buddha statue does seem to be suppressing something.

The monk was not originally interested in these murals. But he saw that my master and I were gathered in front of the mural, and he also came over to join in the fun. After looking at this series of realistic murals, he quickly came to a conclusion.

"What's not to understand about this? Didn't you say those spots of light were the excrement of that kind of monster? The intention of King Yelang to carve this Buddha statue was obviously to suppress that kind of monster. ”

The master objected: "I think things won't be so simple. If it was for this reason alone, the Yelang King would not have to go through such a big deal at all. Therefore, according to the following, the role of those light spots should still be used as bait. You know, it will lead you over, not only us, but also other things that exist in the dungeon. ”
