Chapter 275: Bodhisattva Temple
That's right, it's a hand that sticks out of the rock face, cyan. I retracted my hand almost reflexively, but my other hand failed to plunge the black-scaled dagger into the rock, so the whole person lost its focus and fell all at once.
Fortunately, there was only a distance of two or three meters, and I fell on the bluestone steps, although my butt was about to bloom, but fortunately I was able to stand up, and it was not a big problem.
The flashlight fell to the side, and I picked it up and shone it on the hand that was extending out of the rock.
The cyan hand is the same as the bluestone I saw before, and in this case, it is indeed scary enough to catch such an arm coldly.
Then I walked up the bluestone steps, thinking carefully to see what was going on with that arm, and how could an arm stick out of the stone wall?
However, as soon as he took two steps out, he tripped over something under his feet. I suddenly held on to the rock wall next to me, and when I looked down, I saw that it was a single foot, a blue foot, and a bare foot.
I took a deep breath, crouched down, looked closely, and even struck the foot with a dagger, and it was a pliable bluestone with a soft texture. Could it be that this is a bluestone statue, but the rest of it is buried in the rock wall?
Thinking of this, I immediately took a picture of the rest of the rock wall, and in this photo, I found that there were many bluestone arms on the rock wall below, and even some of them had half-pulled heads.
I subconsciously looked at the opposite rock wall, and the two sides were four or five meters away. When I looked at it in the past, I found that there were some hands and feet on the opposite rock wall, and there were no grooves formed by the hands and feet, which felt very weird. While watching this, I felt as if something could reflect the light of the flashlight, and even my eyes were shaken.
Looking over there, I didn't even notice that the rock walls on both sides were translucent.
I found the spot where I was glaring, because the surface of the rock was so smooth that it looked like it had been cut with a knife. From this piece, I looked inside.
The wolf-eye flashlight in my hand is extremely penetrating, and when I shine inside, my scalp is numb for a while. Because I saw that there were all figures in various postures, which should be the kind of bluestone figures. If you look at it differently, this must be the case in the opposite rock wall.
I looked up at the Internet, and there was no edge to be seen in this crack, and it was hard to imagine that this mountain was full of such dense bluestone figures.
What kind of rock is this, which can produce so many bluestone figures? Or, these bluestone figures were originally changed by living people, in ancient times, what happened here?
It is puzzling why these people are in such a translucent mountain after they have been transformed into bluestone figures.
It is no wonder that in the legend, the villagers of the small fishing village will continue to salvage this bluestone statue, the mountain and the underground here are all this kind of bluestone statues, and it is not impossible for the place near the river to be washed into the cave.
I just saw the process of Shen Yue, Sister Zhang, and the little goblin turning into bluestone statues, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed this kind of thing anyway. After their souls leave their bodies, they become bluestone figures, and then, their souls enter the mountain, and I don't know what will happen to their souls when they enter the mountain?
In addition to this, Shen Yue and the three of them became bluestone figures outside the mountain, unlike these people, how did they enter the mountain?
It's still a mystery, I have to find a way to save them, and my father and second grandfather are a few of them, and I don't know where they are now.
There is only one path in front of me now, and that is this bluestone staircase in front of me.
The bluestone staircase is very long, and I shine a wolf's eye flashlight on it, but it doesn't end at all. However, it can basically be seen that this place is a very wide mountain crack or karst cave-like existence, which can be regarded as a very unreckless underground cave.
And this bluestone staircase is built in the middle of the crevices of the rocks in this cave, and there are even places where I have to climb sideways or even from the middle of two huge rocks.
After climbing up for more than ten minutes, I felt that nothing had changed around me, because there was nothing but various broken rocks, and in a similar environment, people would have no obvious idea of their own displacement. Still, I'm getting farther and farther away from the big crack I came in, and there are no more bluestone arms and legs or anything like that in the rocks here.
Suddenly, with a flashlight, I saw something that looked like a building in front of me. Just now, in order to save power, the handset was dimmed, but after turning it on, I looked over there, and I found that there was a temple in front of me.
From a distance, the temple was several floors, and the top of the temple almost touched the top of the huge cave, and from a distance it looked very magnificent.
This is a temple built underground, unheard of.
I couldn't suppress my feelings, maybe my father and second grandfather were in that place, and they rushed towards that side at a faster pace.
There is a very large platform built in that place, and there is even an altar on the platform, and the direction of the altar is the same direction as when I came, is this temple for worship?
The direction I came from, what the hell was over there?
All I could think of was the eighteen layers of hell underground, and the bluestone figures in the rocks, all of which seemed to echo the existence of this temple used for sacrifice.
Jumped up the bluestone steps to the platform and walked to the altar to take a look. The altar was also carved out of bluestone, and it was very large, and there were many grooves around it, and even in the groove I found some dried blood, which was an altar that used blood to sacrifice.
And the grooves on the altar eventually merge into a groove carved into the bottom of the altar, and the depression leads into the ground, so is there anything else under this altar?
I even took out the black hole with a flashlight and looked down, but I couldn't see why, I didn't know where the passage under the altar led.
This should be an evil blood sacrifice, and it may even be sacrificed by a living person, which reminds me of the evil witch cult that Shen Yue mentioned before, could it have something to do with that?
Zhang Daoling came to Beibi Mountain in Luoyang in order to eradicate the witch cult, maybe it was not just for cultivation, maybe it was because of this evil witch cult underground?
Thinking of this, he took a flashlight and shone it into the temple, this huge sacrificial temple does not have a temple gate, but the flashlight swept to the statue of the god inside.
I went over and looked, and the statue inside was very tall, four or five stories of wooden buildings from the outside, but from the inside it was only such a huge statue.
This is a Bodhisattva statue, indeed the ugliest Bodhisattva statue I have ever seen since I was a child. Because in my impression, Guanyin Bodhisattva should be a very beautiful kind, at least not an old witch with a wrinkled face. This huge statue, holding a Buddhist bead in one hand and a jade bottle in the other, and adding that wrinkled, even a little flabby face, I instantly thought of the image of the last person in the history textbook, that is, the Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty.
That's right, it's her, it's such an image.
When I saw this time, I suddenly thought of a jade pendant that I still carry on my body, that is, a jade pendant that symbolizes the entire Yehenara family, which was given by the Empress Dowager Cixi. I began to feel more and more that the jade pendant is definitely not so simple, and the disappearance of my grandfather and Belle Ye back then could it also be related to the Empress Dowager Cixi?
However, there is no way to connect this matter with Zhang Daoling's cultivation in the north of the mountain, because Zhang Daoling is from the Han Dynasty, and the Empress Dowager Cixi is from the last years of the Qing Dynasty, spanning thousands of years, so I think the eighteen-layer hell may not be the same thing as the Bodhisattva temple here.
However, the altar outside looks very ancient, and there are even some very strange words on the altar, because it is a very ancient witchcraft script, so I think what I am seeing now may be the influence of different characters from the Han Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty on this mysterious place.
Zhang Daoling's purpose is naturally to stop the witch cult, but the Empress Dowager Cixi made such a huge statue for herself in this place, what is this for?
