26. Hall of Merit
At this time, the situation was at a stalemate, and no one knew where those "soul extractions" went, and there was not even a trace of blood.
"It's your hallucination, isn't it?" "It's inevitable that there will be a bad feeling in the tunnel that has been closed for a long time, and this feeling usually blinds the brain. ”
"Are you kidding?" The fat man on the side finally spoke: "Have you ever seen so many people having the same hallucination at the same time?" ”
"I don't know about that! But don't doubt me if I'm good, I'm just as human as you are. Summer said as he suddenly cut his finger on the wall, and bright red blood flowed down his hand little by little, "Look. ”
"Alright, alright, leave this alone for now. You tell me how long it will be before we get to the inside of the temple. I asked.
"Come on." Summer put her hand in her mouth and sucked, and said faintly, "Look, isn't this already in the corridor of the temple?" ”
As soon as we heard this, we quickly turned around, and when we looked up, we found that the tunnels above us were supported by dark blue beams, and on top of the beams were some broken bricks and tiles, but vaguely we could see the depictions of some flowers, grass, fish and trees, and the top of the beam was a lotus flower, symbolizing the meaning of the Buddha, supported between the roof and the beam, implying the use of Buddhism to inherit the heavens and the earth, and then look further and occasionally see some complete roofs "Where is this?" I asked.
"This is the temple of the Yongdao, our temple here is divided into two main bodies, the front is some pilgrims to buy incense, tourists take pictures of the place, the back can really be said to be the temple, our mountain gods are enshrined in it, and here is the first Yongdao to enter the gate past, this Yongdao is not long, we can see the first part of the temple in less than 3 minutes in front of the distance."
As Summer said, we arrived in the tunnel for less than 3 minutes, and we saw a broken lintel, which was lined with broken white columns, and above the pillars were five layers of square decorative wood, all of which were carved into various shapes, and under our feet were some garbage, such as lantern wood signs or something.
Walk inside, the space is bigger, the first thing the flashlight illuminates is a bronze house-like incense box, the front end of the incense box is written with a golden brush 5 big characters "Dasheng Temple", summer said that it was originally Kedu Dasheng Temple, but because this incense burner has half of the body buried in the soil, so we can't see, you must know that this incense burner is 10 meters wide, it is placed in the temple is to bear a lot of incense every day.
The hall was gloomy, a large amount of dust covered the floor tiles, and three flashlights swept past at the same time, so that we could see clearly that the area here was the size of a basketball court, and a huge stone stood there in the middle, and there were broken ruins on all sides.
Wang Lei nodded and agreed with the fat man's idea, and said: "The situation here is not very stable, and some load-bearing objects have been collapsed, so try not to move." And there is a lot of gravel here to be careful of the foot, there is a situation to hit the flashlight as a signal, flash is the rescue needs to be close urgently, flash twice is to find important items, need to approach, flash three is a sudden change can not be saved, all personnel retreat. ”
"Don't use that, right?" Summer said, "Isn't it okay to shout?" ”
"There's no need, I always feel like there's someone else in this place, so try not to expose yourself with business."
I didn't speak, but I thought in my heart that Wang Lei's thoughts were the same as mine, the previous woman's laughter, and the inexplicable disappearance of "soul extraction", this has always been the mustard in my heart, if I don't figure it out, I'm afraid it will be the biggest variable on this trip.
The matter was agreed, but the fat man didn't leave a flashlight for the summer, saying that he should follow him and he himself was holding the flashlight in one hand and the scattered bullet bridge in the other, I don't know why the fat man cares so much about the summer, but I at least know that this guy is stunned, so I'll say another if it's good, but Wang Lei has also had a similar situation in the sinkhole before.
After walking for a while, I saw a scattered statue of a figure in front of me, which was less than the size of two palms, with a variety of shapes, and behind them was a table, which was relatively stable, because there was a huge lintel pressed on it, on which were written the merits of fate. "Hall of Merit?" This is the Hall of Merit? I muttered, "I didn't expect the damage to be far more severe than we expected, the Hall of Merit had collapsed with the front hall of the temple. If this is the case, the possibility of a secondary collapse is still very large. ”
Just thinking that suddenly my calf touched a very hard place, I kicked and found that I couldn't kick at all, and when I lowered my head, I found that this was a stone carving, it was a pipa, I quickly picked up a flashlight and bent down to look for it, and sure enough, I found a collapsed statue in the middle and right side of the main hall, which was one of the four heavenly kings, and he was no longer as solemn as he had received incense merit at this time, but fell to the ground with his face upward, and his hands were mutilated. A face covered with charcoal black paint is also mottled, so it is better to say.
"Wait, something is wrong!" I suddenly thought in my mind, "Isn't the one holding the pipa among the Four Heavenly Kings white-faced?" And red-faced people are only swordsmen and snakes, right? "In order to confirm my thoughts, I squatted down and touched the face of the statue with my hand, and the blood was actually human blood, and it was not until I saw the black fragments that I realized that the oxygen content of our human blood decreases after it is separated from the body, and the color turns black. Damn, who has been here, it's obvious that this is not left by the dead during the landslide, because there is not a single body here. "It must be summer. Damn, why didn't I notice it before and let him go with the fat man? ”
Suddenly, I saw the figure of the fat man in the distance, he and Xia were around a mouthful, constantly looking at something, "What's wrong?" I walked over and asked.
"Boss Lin didn't say that there was something in Ding." Summer saw me come over and spread his hands.
Summer flashed out of the figure, I looked at him vigilantly, and then looked at the Ding immediately stunned, because this high imitation of the Ding is called Taibao Fang Ding in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, belongs to a kind of cooking utensils, I walked around the Ding This is a 2-meter-high defective product, folded lips, shallow belly, flat bottom; The mouth stands with two erect ears, and there are double dragons facing each other in the ears; The outer side of the ears and the dragon's body are decorated with scales, the abdomen is decorated with animal face patterns and triangular patterns, and the four corners are ridged; The four legs are slender, and the upper and lower sections are divided into two sections, the upper section is decorated with the head of the beast, and has ridges and two string patterns, and the lower section is only decorated with three string patterns.
Why is it said to be defective because this kind of thing is generally not more than 1 meter, but this tripod is actually 2 meters high, which shows how outrageous it is, but why is there a cooker in this place?
The fat man had already climbed up along the double dragon at this time, he bit the flashlight and his movements were a little sluggish, and I wanted to laugh a little when I saw it, but soon I couldn't laugh, because the fat man just glanced inside and immediately jumped down and shouted, "Call Wang Lei over with the flashlight, let's run." ”
"Run?" I was stunned, the change came so fast that I had no idea what was inside.
"In the summer, you dog, how did you say it got inside?" The fat man pulled him past the summer, pressed him to the ground and scolded.
I didn't pay attention to them, and hurriedly summoned Wang Lei with a flashlight, and the interrogation of the fat man next to him was also carried out very quickly, but Xia just insisted on what was inside, he didn't know, and in less than half a minute, Wang Lei also ran over, and saw the summer on the ground and the fat man who was huffing hurriedly asked what was going on.
The fat man kicked Xia hard and said, "Run first, there is a promenade in front, the collapse of the mountain has turned over the promenade of the temple, let's run faster, the road ahead is not easy to walk." Then he glanced at Xia fiercely and said, "Don't you want to gnaw us, Lao Tzu has a gun in his hand, be careful with me, otherwise no one will know if you die here." ”
As he spoke, he pushed me and said, "Run, don't look back." ”
Immediately afterwards, I heard a noise in the dingzhong behind me.
