The life and death of my niece and nephew are unknown, and the older woman can't hold it back, so after some explanation, I guess she didn't lie to us. In the current situation, if we want to know how to cross the bridge and what happened on the bridge, it seems that we have to go on our own. A total of seven of us plus the surname Ren went to the bridge at the same time, and the Yuqiao must not be able to bear it, and we have to go up one by one.

There may be something unclean on the jade bridge, so the first one to find out the situation must need some means.

Although I have the heart to explore, I can't bear the entanglement of zongzi, and after thinking about it, there are only two people who are the most suitable here. One is Feng Ghost Hand, the buffalo horn on his body is a treasure, and the other is Lu Su, with his steel knife, it is estimated that ordinary soft zongzi ghosts dare not get close.

These two people are both flexible, and before they can speak, Feng Ghost raised his buffalo horn and said, "I'll go up and have a look first, and if there is an accident, take the number as an order." With that, we agreed on a few codes, and Feng Ghost put down his equipment bag, traveled lightly, and walked on the narrow jade bridge with only a buffalo horn and a cold weapon, his body getting taller and taller, and gradually moving away until he couldn't see the human figure.

The rest of us stayed where we were, pricking up our ears and waiting for the signal from Ghost Feng's hand. A moment later, a melodious trumpet was heard, and it disappeared in an instant. This made several of us happy, but also strange. Because this short and melodious horn sound is a safety code that we have agreed on in advance, that is, there is no danger on the jade bridge, and it is even possible that there is no waterfall.

But the strange thing is, if there is no danger, what is the matter with Ren Ling?

After Ghost Feng finished blowing the code, he turned around and walked back, never to be seen again. Several of us hesitated, and we didn't step forward immediately for a while, Tofu said secretly in the dark: "Old Feng, is it really okay?" The shouting voice was amplified by the space and appeared very clear. It stands to reason that Feng Ghost Shou should be able to hear it, but he didn't respond to us verbally, just blew the safety signal again, signaling us to pass.

Gu Wenmin frowned slightly and said, "It seems that there is nothing wrong, maybe we are too careful." ”

Lu Su's expression was still calm and gentle, and he said slowly: "Why don't I go up first to see what happened, and I will come back in a while, whether it is safe or dangerous." After he finished speaking, he also carried the steel knife and walked to the jade bridge. This jade was hard, and although it carried Feng Ghost Hand and Lu Su, the two of them each stood at one end, and the weight was even, and there was no sign of shattering. Lu Su walked on the jade bridge with peace of mind.

It didn't take long for Lu Su to shout in the darkness at the other end, let's go over in turn, the jade bridge is safe, and there is no waterfall at all, but what is strange is that he did not come back to report the news as agreed before, whether it is safe or not.

I said in my heart, could it be that there is something behind the jade bridge that makes it impossible for them to walk away?

This thing must be in no danger, but it makes the two reluctant to leave, is it a golden coffin?

My heart moved, and I immediately said: "I'll go up first, and when I go to the top, I'm giving you a code, you come one by one, you can't go up too many people at one time, and you can't distance yourself from each other." The three of them nodded, and I took the pistol and went up to the jade bridge.

This bridge is very narrow, standing on the bridge, looking at both sides, it is a dark abyss, if the psychological quality is not good, the legs tremble on the bridge or something, it is easy to lose balance and fall into the abyss.

Although this abyss is pitch black and bottomless, according to the Ren family, there is a dragon and snake cave below, and it is okay to fall to death if you fall down all at once, if you want to fall half dead, and then be bitten by the dragon snake, it is really better to live than to die.

I have a good heart, and I walked to the top of the arched bridge after a while, only to see the other end of the jade bridge, but the trend is relatively gentle, and I didn't see any waterfalls, there are two lights at the end of the jade bridge, it should be Lu Su and the two, it looks relatively stable, there is no danger. So I shouted to the three tofu and motioned for them to go up to the bridge one by one, and then I approached Lu Su and the others.

As the distance narrowed, at the end of the jade bridge, a huge red shadow suddenly appeared, I thought it was a soft rice dumpling in red at first, but I was startled and almost slid in shock. If you look closely, it is a huge statue.

The statue was seventeen or eighteen meters high, and Lu Su and the others stood in front of it, like children.

At this point, both of them had their backs to me, as if they were watching something, and seemed very attentive.

At first, I couldn't see what the statue was like, but as the light gathered, some of its features appeared, and when I looked at it, I felt a pang in my heart, and a sense of foreboding arose.

The huge statue in front of us, facing the jade bridge, with its back against the mountain rocks, was faintly red. The material is like stone not stone, like gold not gold, if you guess well, it should be cast with 'gold essence'. The statue sits cross-legged, one foot on the ground, one foot coiled, sits down a strange mythical beast in ancient times, one hand seals, one hand holds the demon pestle, it is a treasure statue of the king of the earth.

Sitting beneath it is the mythical beast 'Di Ting', and because the statue is relatively tall, we cannot see the facial expression of the Bodhisattva, but only the outline of a head with a crown.

Actually, I don't believe in Buddhism, but I also know a little about the King of Jizo Bodhisattva, and the most famous one about it should be the sentence: Hell is not empty, and you will not become a Buddha.

It is said that the King of the Earth Bodhisattva is not in the Western Elysium like the Buddhas, but its residence is in the underworld. Because he made a grand vow to transform sentient beings and transcend evil spirits, he was revered by the world. And because hell is not empty, and the vow cannot be fulfilled by the grand vow of a Buddha, the king of Jizo is not ranked as a Buddha, but as a bodhisattva. In the Buddhist hierarchy, the Buddha is the highest state, followed by the Bodhisattva.

People in the world are all for their own benefit, running around and toiling, or harming others for their own benefit, but the king of the earth Bodhisattva is to the detriment of himself and benefit others, in order to survive the hell and evil ghosts, reside in the underworld, give up the opportunity to become a Buddha, even if he is in the position of a bodhisattva, but also widely received incense, but also by some literati written into the book to recite.

Although this Bodhisattva has a big mind, seeing it in this place has to surprise my heart, and I guess that Lu Su and the others were also shocked by this statue of the Bodhisattva King of the Earth.

There is no other reason, because the deeds of King Jizo Bodhisattva who turned evil demons into evil spirits and suppressed hell are widely spread, so it can be said that he is the nemesis of evil demons and evil spirits. In many places among the people, if a certain piece of land is not clean, people like to build a small shrine according to the topography, and this shrine does not worship the land lord, nor does it worship Guanyin Bodhisattva, but it is dedicated to the Jizo King Bodhisattva who transforms evil ghosts.

Why is such a large statue not being worshipped in a temple in an underground mausoleum dozens of meters deep? It's not to overkill evil spirits, is it?

The original emperor dug for gold veins and gold essence, could it be that he was trying to cast this statue of King Jizo Bodhisattva?

With such a lot of effort, the Bodhisattva who turned evil ghosts and suppressed evil spirits was placed here, could it be that Princess Nagegar was really so evil?

Thinking so, the woman surnamed Ren had already come over first. Tofu is probably afraid that she will run away and make a stumbling block for us, so let her go first, followed by Tofu, Gu Wenmin is the last, so I haven't seen anyone yet. As soon as we arrived here, we were all attracted by this huge statue of the Bodhisattva King of Jizo, and we couldn't help but speculate in our hearts. And the most eye-catching, apart from the statue of the Jizo King Bodhisattva, is the coffin placed on its legs.

It was a stone coffin, boxy, placed on the lap of the Jizo King Bodhisattva, the shape of the stone coffin is relatively large, but when placed with the huge statue of the Bodhisattva, it is not so eye-catching, so we didn't notice it at first. And if you want to touch the stone coffin up close, you have to climb up from the legs of the Jizo King Bodhisattva.

At this time, Lu Su and the others also came back to their senses, and Feng Ghost sighed: "This is an artifact, it's a pity." "Tofu doesn't know the meaning of Feng Ghost Hand's words, but I do.

This statue of the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth, the whole body is shaped with gold essence, there is no second piece in the world, the shape is rigorous, even after so many years, it still shines. It's just that it's huge, and even if the archaeological team comes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out, and it's destined to be buried deep in the loess. In our industry, there are very few people who can be called artifacts, because in this prosperous world, the most important thing is bold buyers, no matter how hot the goods are, there are people who dare to take them, but only those who are listed in the artifact level, even if the tomb robbers see it, they dare not move, because they can't sell it.

One is that no one dares to buy it, and the other is that the value of some things is difficult to estimate with money, and buyers can't afford to buy them, which is what we often call priceless.

Tomb robbers, digging mushrooms for a lifetime, may not be able to encounter an artifact, even if they do, they have to endure the urge to drip blood in their hearts and pretend not to see it.

At this moment, everyone's eyes shifted from the statue of King Jizo Bodhisattva to the stone coffin, and they were thinking about how to probe the pubic claw so that they could climb on the leg of the statue with a rope, and they saw that Tofu seemed to be restless, looking back from time to time. I asked him what he was looking around, and Tofu said, "Why hasn't Gu Da Mei come yet?" ”

As soon as he said it, I just remembered it, and I also looked back, it stands to reason that Gu Wenmin should be there at this time, but this time I turned around, but I couldn't even see her shadow.

I was shocked, and said that something was wrong, and I just wanted to call Gu Wenmin's name, but I heard Gu Wenmin's shout suddenly from the dark place above the jade bridge: "Ren Ling!" Not ......"

Immediately after, a yellow halo fell from the jade bridge and plunged into the darkness.

This scene came too suddenly, and everyone didn't have time to react, and when they came back to their senses, Lu Su's always gentle tone changed, and said, "It's not good, Miss Gu, she ......"

I only felt my hands and feet tingle, and my heart seemed to fall with the falling yellow light, falling into the infinite darkness.

Obviously, the yellow halo was the glow emitted by the headlamp. Gu Wenmin: She ...... Fell.

Tofu's eyes were instantly bloodshot, and he rushed to the edge of the jade bridge to look down, where else could he see, the yellow halo had disappeared, and under our feet, there was only a black and secluded abyss.
