Chapter 161: The Secret Passage
"To be honest, although the picture of mountains and rivers is abstract, my years of experience in running rivers and lakes can also make me understand. Fang Tong said, "Naturally, I won't take them to find any golden veins." These people have done all the bad things of killing people and stealing goods on weekdays, and I tricked them down the mountain and looked for an opportunity to catch them all. ”
He had a good idea. The fact that they can mix with the monks in this temple shows that these bandits are not simple. With his one prescription, he wants to serve it in a pot?
I was noncommittal to Fang Tong's answer. I've been through hardships before, but now I'm not going to have a heart-to-heart with this person. When he came to this Zixu Mountain, he didn't know what he was talking about, and he hid his words, I really don't know how Wuchen would believe it.
"Then how can the four of us have the fate to go down the mountain by then?" I said nonchalantly, "Also, what about Miss Bao'er and Miss Xia? I'm going to take them away." If you don't let us chase Lu Yuxiu, then I won't chase it. But the people I brought out, I want them to go back with me unharmed. Otherwise, I'm going to make a fuss about this bullshit Xu Mountain Zixu Temple. ”
"Brother Mu...... "Wuchen looked at me from the side and didn't speak well, and wanted to play a round, "Fang Tong is also for our good." ”
"I didn't take people down the mountain to rob the carriage, and I didn't see the carriage. Fang Tong set up this strategy, but he didn't know where Bao'er was caught, "I heard that the monk in the temple took the carriage away, and it should have been hidden by the old monk Shi Neng." ”
"Dustless, is your compass still good?"
"It's easy to use, but in this temple, it doesn't seem to be so bright. ”
"Maybe people are not in the temple......" Fang Tong said.
"It must be there, as long as it is outside the temple, the compass points to the temple wherever it is. "Dustless is for sure.
"Well, we'll look for them in the temple tonight, and we'll find the two of them even if we turn them upside down. I decided, "Xiaodi and Tianfeng Dao Leader will also come to help, and we will split into two teams." ”
"I'm with you. The little flute immediately stood next to me.
"It's okay, you are better than Tianfeng Dao, tonight I have to see if their monk's spell is powerful, or your Taoist priest's spell is powerful. ”
It's hard to stop it, but it's just a reminder that we must be careful not to alarm those bandits.
Xiaodi and I went out of the firewood room and went to the main hall in front. The dust-free and celestial wind road chief looked along the courtyard wall to check the side room. The wing rooms are generally the dormitories and guest rooms of the monks, and there may be organs in the main hall, which is more difficult to check.
Before I was stunned, I saw the three golden statues of the Buddha in the main hall, and the three Buddhas were all with their eyes closed. At first, I thought it was a hint that the Seven Treasures Glass Lantern couldn't be looked up. Later, I thought about it, the Buddha's Dharma is boundless, how can he be stunned by the small Qibao glass lamp.
Whatever the reason, let the three Buddhas close their eyes, my curiosity is left, and I am unwilling not to look at it. As soon as the four of us parted, I returned to the main hall with my flute.
"Don't keep staring at the glass lamp. "When I first entered the temple, I reminded the little flute.
"I know, that's what we got knocked out of that thing. "It's not that Xiaodi doesn't understand.
Turning the screen, I came to the three statues of the Buddha. This time I was a little bolder, and got a candle to light up the whole hall. In this way, the light of the Qibao glass lamp is not so powerful.
The three Buddhas do not seem as tall as they imagined. In the end, it is a small temple, there is not much incense, and those who can do this kind of work can't raise any donations. It can be a zhang high, and it is not very full, and the gold paint on it does not know how many years, and it is peeling off piece by piece, which looks a little broken.
"The two of us are looking separately, maybe there is some secret passage. Such a hall is very empty, and Tibetans can't do it, but it's easiest to set up secret passages. ”
Flute nodded and began to rummage. I look at her like she's never done this kind of thing, just looking for some corners and corners.
And I began to move the fruit bowls, candlesticks, and incense burners on the offering table. One by one, they are all alive. I didn't let go of the navel of the Buddha statue, and the results were all disappointed. When I was young, I watched a lot of this kind of film and television drama, and I always felt that there must be some hidden secret channel in the hall. But it was my turn, in this hall of reality, the freshness and excitement at the beginning slowly faded under the blows of disappointment again and again.
There must be something wrong with these three Buddha statues, I went up to see if the eyelids of the Buddha statues were moving, maybe I could push them away with a push of my hand. Stepping on the statue of the Buddha in the center, I climbed to eye level, holding the Buddha's raised arm.
Once again, I was disappointed, the Buddha's eyelids were dead, they were closed from the beginning, they couldn't be opened, and there was no mechanism. I held the Buddha's arm and stepped back, wanting to see what the little flute had gained.
Wait, there's something wrong. I can't remember what was wrong. It must have something to do with the statue of Guanyin on the back of the screen. I hurriedly ran to the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva with a candle, and Guanyin Bodhisattva stood on the lotus seat in white clothes.
Holding the jade bottle in his left hand, and pinching his flower fingers with his right hand.
That's right, it's this flower finger. In the middle of the front, the Buddha's hand is also pinching the fingers, but the gesture is wrong. The thumb and middle finger are interlocked, just like this Guanyin Bodhisattva. But just now the Buddha's thumb and ring finger are interlocked. I didn't look closely when I stood on the Buddha, I just glanced at it, so I felt a little awkward, but I didn't think much of it.
Could this be a mechanism? Whether it is or not, let's look at it first.
Once again, I was disappointed and I didn't want to move at all. Although the finger of the flower was pinched by mistake, it was also a dead mud fetus, and I was about to break the finger of the Buddha, and I couldn't break it in the slightest.
"Why didn't you look for it?" Xiaodi also found nothing, but he was a little more energetic than me.
"I'm tired. I replied weakly.
"What did you just climb up and down?" said Flute again, "I've found some treasure for you." ”
"What treasures can there be, I'm looking for a mechanism. ”
"Can the mechanism be on the Buddha statue?"
"There is no more here, I just saw the Buddha's fingers pinching the wrong flower, and it should be a mechanism. I told her a little bit of spiritedness.
"Flower fingers?" When Xiao Di heard this, he also looked up at the outstretched hand of the Buddha statue in the middle, "Where is this flower finger?" ”
"Of course not, deliberately wrong. ”
"That's not what I'm talking about, although I don't understand what their Buddhist fingering is, but this is clearly the knuckle method used by Taoists to calculate the heavenly and earthly branches. ”
After she said this, I looked up again, and it was really a bit like it. The Taoist priests rolled their eyes and pinched their fingers, but their thumbs were dotted at the joints of the remaining four fingers. Moreover, the palm of the Buddha's hand is almost facing his own, which is inconsistent with the traditional side of himself.
"So what does that mean?" I suddenly felt a little more energetic.
"I don't know, after all, this is a temple, not a Taoist temple, how can I understand that his palm is like this, it's hard to say that this temple has an affair with a Taoist priest." ”
"Then you don't mean it's in vain. "What can I do as a little flute to help," thanks to your little girl, you can still say the word 'fornication'. ”
"So what!" said the little flute, "well, could it be so." ”
"What's that?" I asked her lazily, there was a big hall in front of me, so let Wuchen and Tianfeng Daoist go to find it, and the relationship was also like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"The Buddha pinched the innate gossip. "The flute said whimsically," he said, pointing his thumb to the first knuckle of his ring finger. That place represents the position. If you look at the inside of this hall, there are exactly eight pillars, and the arrangement of each pillar is very similar to the direction of the eight trigrams. Whether it's or not, I'll take a look first. ”
The little flute looked excited, as if she had found a treasure. I think this is the same as the fact that I found that the Buddha's eyelids were closed and his fingers were pinched wrong. Maybe it's because the monks who built the temple are not professional, and they can repair the flaws casually.
Sure enough, she has touched the eight pillars, will there be any difference if she touches them again?
"Come over here and help me. Little Flute crouched there and shouted at me.
"Be quiet. I replied, and came to her senses, too, and walked over to her.
"The stone pier under the pillar is movable, you can help me move it. ”
The stone pier was originally used for load-bearing purposes and should not be moved. For such a large hall, it is a bit of a waste to use eight load-bearing pillars of this thickness. I can't figure it out, it's really like what Xiaodi said, it's a mechanism.
I pushed the little flute away, held the white stone pier with both hands, and with a little force, it moved.
"Align that groove with the ridge. ”
Fortunately, I have been with Wuchen for a long time, and I know that the kan is water, and the direction is due east. When the groove of the stone pier was moved due east, the sound of the machine turning was heard, followed by the sound of iron chains rubbing against the stone wall.
Eventually, a tunnel emerged beneath the offering table.
