Longling Maze Chapter 27 Black Buddha

When Partridge Whistle saw the white bones of the dead man, he had an ominous premonition, and when he heard Elder Chen's heavy tone, he knew that it was not trivial, so he asked Elder Chen what a bodhisattva was to close his eyes.

Elder Lichen said: "There are seventy-two broken moons, tonight is the right time to break and repay evil, it is said that when this kind of day, the yang energy on the ground is weak, and the Taiyin star is the head, and it is most likely that strange things will happen." How can anyone dare to go to the tomb at such a time to touch the gold? At first, he thought that this was an ownerless empty tomb, but he didn't expect that there were corpses and bones 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 are evil spirits hidden in the tomb, our black donkey hooves and glutinous rice and other things will not be useful tonight, let's retreat quickly. ”

Although the partridge whistle was reluctant, he also knew the stakes, so he didn't say much at the moment, and together with Elder Chen and the American priest, he turned around 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 Father Thomas, the American priest, walked in the front. When Father Thomas saw that the two men were going out, he couldn't help it, so he immediately found the entrance to the tunnel, lit a candle that Partridge Whistle had given him, and jumped in and ran.

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 by half a beat, Father Thomas would have been touched by the black mist, as long as he was one step late, probably the pious priest would have gone to see his God by now.

Both Partridge Whistle and Elder Dust knew that this was the poisonous smoke from the ancient tomb, and the only passage was set up with such a vicious mechanism. I don't know which of the three people came across the machine, which activated the poisonous smoke mechanism, thanks to the fact that although Elder Dust is old, he is extremely experienced, which saved Father Thomas's life.

This kind of black poisonous smoke may be boiled with the poisonous juice of millipedes, thick but not dispersed, just like a solidified black liquid, the black fog sprayed more and more from the tunnel, Partridge Whistle and the other three people all took the secret medicine of poison, most of the secret medicine of Captain Jin was made to deal with corpse poison, and it is unknown what effect it has to deal with such a thick poisonous smoke.

Seeing that the thick black poisonous smoke was 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.

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

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 magic pill to rush out, but the thickness of this black poisonous smoke has never been seen before. People have been cautious since they entered the tomb, it is impossible to trigger any mechanism, and no one can figure out how the black smoke came out.

Behind him is the stone wall of the tomb, and the three of them such as the partridge whistle have their backs against 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, now that the eyebrows are burning, why didn't your master come to save you?" ”

It was only then that Father Thomas remembered that he was a clergyman, and said with a forced composure: "Almighty Heavenly Father is probably busy with other things and cannot save me, but I believe that I will go to heaven when I die." It doesn't matter, 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 Partridge Whistle say that God is not as good as a monkey, he immediately became furious, and was about to say something to him, but when he heard Partridge Whistle continue: "Monk Yang, if you are willing to take refuge in my Buddha now and stop believing in that bullshit God, I have a way to make you immortal." If you don't agree, at most a minute, the poisonous mist will spread here, unless you are not flesh and blood, at most in a minute or so, 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 can a bodhisattva really live? Are you lying to me? ”

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

It turned out that the partridge whistle saw that the front was completely covered by black fog, and subconsciously stuck to the wall, feeling a cold around him, touching an object, and looking sideways, it was a lamp on the wall of the tomb, which should be an ever-bright lamp hanging on the top of the coffin.

Now there is no coffin in the tomb, but there is an empty lamp embedded in the wall, what is the partridge whistle and the eyes of Elder Chen, and it can be seen at a glance that there is something wrong with the position of this lamp. According to the convention, the lantern is at the position of three feet three inches, and the height of this lamp is obviously one inch lower, that is, half an inch lower, and the angle of the lampstand is slightly tilted downward, which must be a dark wall mechanism. If you push the lampstand upwards, the entire tomb wall will be flipped upside down, opening the chamber hidden in the Backrooms. The secret room is extremely hidden, this place is also known as "inserting the pavilion", it 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 thieves.

When the partridge whistle was bold and could not be allowed to be released, he still frightened Father Nayang with his words, seeing that he would rather die than give up God and convert to Buddha, but also admired his piety, and felt a little reluctant in his heart. The black fog in the tomb in front of him became thicker and thicker, and the partridge whistle did not dare to hold it too big, raised his hand to grab the ever-bright lamp, and pushed it upward, and the ever-bright lamp embedded in the wall really moved, and only a series of muffled sounds were heard in the ears, and the wall attached to the back of the three people turned back, and the dust on the stone wall was flying, and the heads of everyone were full of dust.

Behind the wall is an ancient tomb pavilion only two zhang wide, and the movable wall with a mechanism is turned around, bringing in the thousand-handed black Buddha and the white bones that fell on the side of the wall. This cabinet does not have as many rare jewels as the outer tombs, except for a locked chest.

The partridge whistle didn't care to look closely, so he removed two pieces of the floor tiles of the tomb, 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 the pavilion was relatively soft, and it was sure that the hole would be opened 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 thief 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 and moving in their own way, and neither of them spoke, so he couldn't help but ask Elder Dust: "Have you noticed that there is something in the black mist outside, which I don't think looks like poisonous gas?" ”

Elder Lichen closed his eyes and was silent, and after a while, he slowly opened his eyes and said to Father Thomas, "What? Did you see that too? ”

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, and after listening to the words of Father Thomas and Elder Chen, he couldn't help but raise his head, and the moment the wall turned into the pavilion, he also saw the vision in the black mist.

Elder Lichen thought for a moment, pointed to the multi-handed black Buddha statue against the wall, and said, "The legend of the Black Buddha is that Gu Ru is an evil god worshiped by Gu Ru, who specializes in controlling and dominating the darkness. The cult that believed in the Dark Buddha had been exterminated by the government as early as the end of the Tang Dynasty, and it was unthinkable that there was a statue of the Dark Buddha hidden in the Western Xia court. The raw material of this black Buddha may be the rotten jade of ancient Persia, legend has it 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 dead will also be attached to the dark Buddha, the ghost will not disperse. ”

Partridge Whistle looked at the white Sensen's human bones, and said to Elder Chen: "It seems that this white bone may have been a loyal guard when he was alive, and he chose to stay in the treasure cave, touch the rotten jade and die, and guard 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 talk about it, everyone understands what it means."

Elder Lichen told Partridge Whistle and Father Thomas not to let their skin come into contact with the Black Buddha statue, and quickly broke through the thief hole and left. Elder Lichen remembered that the human bone was holding a bunch of keys in his hand, so he took it down, and there was a box in the cabinet, maybe it was a dust bead inside, whether there was a handful of keys in this box, you might as well open it.

Elder Lichen lit the candle, and there was no need to find any southeast corners in this cabinet, as long as there was a little light, and after picking up the keys and trying them, one of the keys was just enough to open the lock on the box. When he came up to scatter the soil, he saw that Elder Chen had opened the box, and he couldn't help but want to see if there were any dust beads inside, so he stopped the whirlwind shovel in his hand and opened the box with Elder Chen, but there was only a tortoise shell engraved with different characters in the box.

The partridge whistle was full of enthusiasm, although psychologically prepared, still couldn't help but be extremely disappointed, it seemed that he was drenched in a basin of ice water in front of his head for three or nine days, and he was cold from head to toe, and he was stunned on the spot, feeling that his throat and eyes were sweet, and he spit out a mouthful of blood, all sprayed on the tortoise shell.

Elder Lichen was shocked, knowing that 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 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 had all opened at some point, and the hundreds of eyes on his body were watching the three tomb robbers who broke into the treasure cave in the dark, exuding an evil and resentful aura.
