Chapter 230: Thunder but a dragon rises, and the water returns to the sky (2)

Seeing that the servant Xiao Jiu was pushed away, the two of them immediately cleaned up the area around the entrance of the cave, covered the stone door, and hurriedly hid in the shadows of the surrounding sunset... Yusheng Yan reached into his arms, took out a small bamboo tube, crushed the sealing wax seal, and poured out a small roll from it.

Then, she took the small scroll in her hand and stretched it out, and gradually transformed it into a map, only to see that the map was extremely thin and light, like the wings of a cicada, and she didn't know what it was made ofβ€”"This is a map made by my mother-in-law many years ago," Yusheng said, "She always felt that one day I would return to Our Lady's Peak, so she always asked me to carry it with me after it was made." ”

On the map, the history is clear, and the whole picture of the entire Virgin Peak is vividly drawn, and they don't look at it a few times, and they suddenly understand where they are... Yushengyan pointed to a place on the map called 'Sumeru Cave', compared the surroundings, and affirmed: "Where we are, this should be here." ”

The Supreme Treasure looked at the map, in front of it was first a section of pavilion like a city wall, and then stretched out a section of wooden platform, on which were set up shelves and wheels, hanging baskets, descending platforms, etc., and next to it were marked strong bows and heavy crossbows, rolling stones, and rolling wood, it seems that the Holy Mother of Silence originally marked all this, in preparation for the later storming of Our Lady's Peak; Behind the building is a huge school field, on the left and right sides are rows of side houses, and then there are woods and grottoes, springs and bamboo forests, and even a piece of land has been reclaimed and planted with some sweet potatoes and fruit trees...

The whole top of the peak of Our Lady is like the word 'convex', and the whole center seems to be suddenly raised by someone, with a drop of nearly ten zhang, and the whole crescent moon will wrap the middle in it. This lower place is except for the school field, the grotto, the woods, the springs, the bamboo forests, and the side houses. There are also several caves and the forest of tomb towers, where the previous Virgin Celestial Master are buried; Finally, it is the Sumeru Cave, which is hidden under a raised mountain wall and surrounded by a small fenced courtyard.

After the repair of the White Lotus Sect, the rock wall is just like a city wall chiseled with a knife and axe, with moss lichen growing on it, and the temple of Our Lady and Maitreya are built on it, standing left and right, and in the middle is a towering 'Heaven-opening stupa', which is the place of retreat.

It is clearly marked on the map. If you want to go up to the great hall. There are only two stone stairs, left and right respectively, perhaps because of the extreme peace of mind on this Virgin Peak, so the two stone stairs have not been built into passes. It's just a sentry guard.

One place. From here, you will pass through the school field and wings. Then he turned up and reached the front of the Basilica of Our Lady - but at this time, according to Ah Jiu, it was the time for the supper of the guards, the attendants, the congregants, the Venerables, and so on. It is impossible to pass through, although it is closer, but the danger is immeasurable.

On the other hand, you have to pass through the vegetable garden with fruit trees and vegetables, then through three grottoes, springs, then bamboo forests, and finally through the forest of tomb towers, and then go up the mountain from behind, to the back of the 'Pitian Pagoda' - although this place is farther away, but seeing the sunset and no one around, it is really a good place to go up the mountain.

But neither of them remembered that at first, Yusheng Yan casually pointed to the woods where Ah Jiu was waiting, which happened to be in the middle of the grotto...

Immediately, without talking nonsense, the Supreme Treasure casually put the two plates of nests taken out of the basket into a cloth bag, and then stepped on the plate of dishes with both feet on the ground, covered the floating soil, and then walked towards the stone staircase in the distance.

At this time, it was close to the sun, the afterglow of the sunset sprinkled countless shadows on the top of the peak through the clouds, the light of the entire mountain was weakened a lot, and the vision between the dark light and shadow was extremely poor, the two chose the shadow place and moved forward quickly, although the school field had finished eating The guards came out, but under this, no one found their traces, and there was no danger all the way, and they soon left the school wing room and arrived at the first grotto.

This grotto is called 'Thousand Buddha Grottoes', the entrance of the cave is a thousand-faced Buddha hall, built on the high pedestal by the mountain, its face is seven rooms wide, four rooms are deep, the top of the single eaves hall is lifted, the eaves are far-reaching. Under the eaves, the sparse and grand bucket arch is placed, the wooden edge is painted gorgeously, the eaves angle is long and towering, and there is the tendency to spread its wings and want to fly. There are eight stone pillars under the front eaves, the pillar base is carved with dragons, phoenixes, flowers, leaves, water waves and lotus petals, treasure lotus and other patterns, the carving is exquisite, highlighting the wind of the Tang and Song dynasties...

But the two of them did not look at the grotto at all, but only observed one or two by the grotto, and then continued to hurry forward--it was almost dusk at this time, and the two of them were even more relieved and bold to go while the night was dark.

After passing through the Baiyun Grottoes and Zhuoxi Grottoes behind, the two finally arrived near the left side of Feiquan, rested for a while, and ate the wowotou sent by Ah Jiu, and then went towards the bamboo forest.

As soon as I entered the bamboo forest, I immediately heard Xiao Jiu's voice: "Two adults, I, I am here." ”

At first glance, the guy was carrying a cloth bag on his back, and he had already been waiting here, and when he saw the two of them, he immediately greeted him, accompanied by a smiling face: "Two adults, I have been waiting for you for a long time..." ”

"You, you, you..."Yu Shengyan suddenly realized, "So you are here!" She looked at Xiao Jiu, then at the Supreme Treasure, and whispered to him, "Well, I've forgotten that he is still here... Look, how do we arrange it? ”

Supreme Treasure disagreed: "There is no other way, either ask him to follow us, or tell him to stay here...""Wait," Yu Shengyan didn't wait for him to finish, interrupted him first, and then said to Ah Jiu: "You go and wait by the side, wait for us to discuss, and then tell you what to do." ”

"Yes!" Ah Jiu obediently responded, and then walked to the distance and sat down, waiting for the two to discuss.

After seeing that he was finally seated, Yusheng Yan said to the Supreme Treasure: "You can't follow us!" If he realizes that we are here to deal with the White Lotus Sect and not the people in the sect, maybe he will turn against us, and then other troubles will come! ”

"Turning against the eye is turning against the eye, so what?" Supreme Treasure was dismissive of this: "Do you think such a small guy can threaten us?" He thought for a moment: "It's not even better to stay here, once the guard on duty finds out, won't everything be exposed?" ”

"You can't follow us anyway..."Yu Sheng muttered, frowning, "You can't follow us, and you can't tell him to stay here... That's not easy! ”

"Isn't it easy?" Supreme Treasure smiled slightly: "It's difficult, you mean to kill..." Although the Supreme Treasure mentioned this, Yu Sheng Yan had already thought about this idea in his heart, and immediately drank: "Although they are also members of the White Lotus Sect, they are just ordinary miscellaneous servants, and their sins do not lead to death, if we are not even willing to let them go, then after the mother-in-law returns to power, she will not be able to gain the trust of ordinary sect members, nor will she be able to calm people's hearts." ”

After all, Yusheng Yan is from the White Lotus Sect, everything is different from what the Supreme Treasure thinks, since she said so, the Supreme Treasure is not willing to brush her meaning, so she thought about it again, and then said: "If we can't kill him, we can't take him, and we can't stay where we are, then I have a way here, and we can place him for the time being..." He will be able to be placed for at least twelve hours, and he will not be disturbed or revealed until we are done. ”

"How?"

Supreme Treasure said: "Think about it, since he can come here alone, he must also have the ability to do some side things - why don't we arrange something for him to do, so that he won't follow us, and he won't be too surprised to look at his own affairs, don't you think?" ”

"So wonderful!" When Yusheng Yan heard him, she said happily: "If there is really something that can make him have something to do, it would be great... But what can you arrange to do without attracting the attention of others? ”

Supreme Treasure smiled slightly, and pointed forward: "When you get to the forest of the tomb tower, there will be something," he smiled slightly: "That place is inaccessible, and there are countless tomb towers, it is really not good, so he will stay there to wipe the pagoda and clean the bone niche... Finally do something for your soon-to-be-appointed mother-in-law, right? ”

In this way, the matter is settled. Then, the two of them immediately took Ah Jiu and headed towards the tomb in Tallinn.

β€»

The tomb tower is the cemetery of the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect in the past dynasties, there is no extraordinary identity and merit to be buried here, build a pagoda to worship, the tomb tower is innumerable, with the tower base, the tower body, the tower is composed of a stop. The base of the tower is square, circular, octagonal, and has relief decoration; The body of the tower is taller and larger, and the legal name and year name of the person in the tower are engraved on it; Tasha has phase wheels, raspberries, the moon, jewels, flowers, dragon and other patterns, as merit.

Can reach the mouth of the tomb Tower, is a huge stone stele, engraved with a couplet of large characters:

'What have you done in your life?' Trying to make people rich, harming people's lives, committing adultery with women, corrupting people's morality, touching your heart is not shocked? If you want to use thousands of tricks and tricks in the past, which one is not self-inflicted!

Come to me and get revenge! Calculate it, squander your property, destroy your descendants, reduce the punishment and disaster, are you afraid of it with your eyes open? Look at how many fierce flames there are today, how many of them can escape here! ’

Originally, the tomb tower was next to this road, the two did not have to enter, they could go directly from the side of the tomb tower, along the road until the stone staircase was close to the left, but to see this, the supreme treasure trance had a sense of dΓ©jΓ  vu, when even stopped, asked Yusheng Yanfa: "Yan'er, about the tomb here, has my mother-in-law said anything?" ”

"Mother-in-law hasn't said anything about this!" Yusheng said: "It is indeed very strange to hang such a couplet in the tomb tower here, if my mother-in-law knew about this, she would definitely tell me, so that we don't know what to do at this moment..." The Supreme Treasure thought: "It has been nearly twenty years since my mother-in-law left the Peak of Our Lady, and if there were some changes during this period, she would definitely not know about itβ€”this place must have changed in recent years, right?" ”

"Well, I want to come like this..."This is the answer made by Yu Shengyan.

At the same time, another voice replied in the distance: "Yes, it has been twelve years since this couplet was hung here!" With that voice, a figure slowly walked out of the darkness... (To be continued......)
