Chapter 66: Blowing Up the Exit

Ji'an and his entourage, holding down five monks, came directly to the release pool in the temple. This is where Han Yuehuanyi and the others come out, and it should be easier to enter through the exit, Ji An thinks so.

"How deep is this release pond?" asked the monk as he looked at the schools of fish swimming in the pond.

"I don't know this, no one has ever gone down, and I don't know that this is actually the exit. A monk replied resignedly.

Ji'an selected two soldiers with good water characteristics and asked them to go down to explore the way first. After a while, the two of them came back and told Ji'an that the pool was about three zhang deep, and there was a hole in the wall of the pool.

Ji An stared at a few monks and said, "You go down and open the stone gate." When the monk heard this, he waved his hand and said that he couldn't water. The corners of Ji'an's mouth moved, and the two soldiers next to him came over and picked up a monk and threw him into the release pond with a plop. The monk struggled to call for help, and the monks were terrified, and when they saw that the monk who had fallen into the water was about to be drowned, one of the monks came forward and said, "You pull him up, and I will go down." As soon as Ji An waved his hand, a soldier threw a rope and pulled the monk up, and he spat out water after coming up. Another monk said, "I'll go down with him." But you have to prepare something, rope, airbags, krathongs, daggers or knives. These are available in the utility room of the temple. ”

"It does seem professional. Ji An was satisfied with the monk's request, and he motioned for the soldiers to prepare. The things were quickly found, and it seems that this Runeng Temple is really prepared.

The two monks tied ropes around their waists, each filled two air bags, and put other things in their waists, one carrying the water lantern, and the other said to Ji'an: "We don't know how long it will take to find the mechanism." So every other pillar of incense will pull us up. If we die, it will be difficult for you to find anyone else to open the stone door for you. Ji'an nodded, indicating that the request was acceptable, and ordered the soldiers to put incense on them.

Seeing that the two monks took a deep breath and jumped off the release pond in turn, Ji An turned around and walked to the pavilion next to the release pond and sat down, ordered someone to make a pot of tea, and watched and waited leisurely. He was not in a hurry at all, and he had already brought explosives with him when he went up the mountain this time. It's good to find a mechanism to open the stone door, but if it can't be opened, then explode. Today's harvest has been made, that is, this Runeng Temple is indeed related to the Yin Soldier Talisman. Yue Neng old monk's mouth, he can't pry it open, and Huan Wen will have a way to pry it open.

The first pillar of incense burned out, the rope was pulled up, and the two monks sat on the ground and gasped for breath for a while before saying to Ji'an in the pavilion: "I haven't found any mechanism around the stone gate, and it is estimated that I can't get in or out." Ji An asked the soldiers to inflate the air bags again, and said to the two monks, "Probe again." The two monks glanced at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and had to go into the water again.

Jia An whispered a few words to the soldier next to him, and the soldier turned to leave with a few people.

The second pillar of incense burns out. The two monks were pulled up again, this time they were already paralyzed on the ground, and they had no strength to speak, so they only weakly raised their arms and waved at Ji'an, meaning that they still hadn't found the mechanism.

At this time, several soldiers had already come over with a bamboo basket. There are more than a dozen oilcloth bags in the bamboo basket. Ji'an got up and walked out of the gazebo, came to the bamboo basket, reached out and picked one up and looked at it, the oilcloth was wrapped very tightly, and a waxed lead was stretched out. He took the oilcloth bag and handed it to the two watery monks and asked, "Will this work?"

When the two monks saw what Ji 'an was doing, their faces were horrified, and the other three monks also shouted again and again: "I can't help it, I can't help it!" The three of them knelt down in unison and kowtowed again and again: "General, you can't do it." If it is bombed, the 700-year-old temple will be razed to the ground. ”

Ji'an's face was already calm, he checked the oilcloth bag in his hand, and said, "So I ask you if you will use this thing." Whether the temple is razed to the ground and whether everyone can survive depends on you. ”

The two monks on the ground had desperate looks in their eyes. Gian saw that their fists were clenched tightly. "Let's talk about it, and see if you come or I come. As he spoke, he put the oilcloth bag in his hand back into the bamboo basket, turned around and sat down in the pavilion, and picked up his tea.

The other three monks all gathered around, and the five of them muttered for a while, as if they were discussing what to do, their voices were high and low, as if they were arguing about something, and they looked up at Ji'an from time to time.

Ji An motioned to the soldiers next to him to come over, and several soldiers stepped forward, stretched out their sabers and pointed at a few monks and shouted, "Have you discussed, we don't have so much work to wait for you." ”

When the monks saw the bright sword, they fell silent for a moment. The monk who jumped out at the beginning spoke: "Okay, let's blow it up." However, before the bombing, for the sake of everyone and the safety of the temple, we need to discuss a solution. So you can't rush. ”

Jian asked, "How long?"

"Two hours. ”

Ji An looked at the sky and said, "Just an hour." ”

The first monk asked people to bring pen and paper and a measuring tape, and he and the previous monk jumped into the water for the third time, this time with a measuring tape. After less than half a pillar of incense, the two of them came out of the water and drew the situation of the stone gate and the surrounding area below. The five monks gathered together, compared with the drawings, and weighed the explosives in the oilcloth bags, as if calculating where and how much the explosives would be placed.

Ji An looked at them from a distance, and couldn't help but feel a trace of inexplicable uneasiness in his heart: these monks were so good at calculating blowing up a stone gate. Who are they? How many secrets are hidden in this temple? If there was really some Yin Soldier Talisman hidden underneath this, would these monks really do something earth-shattering? Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth began to sink.

When the hour came, the monks stood up, as if confident. The monk at the head said to Ji'an: "I will definitely not be able to complete it with the strength of the two of us, and we need to send more people." Ji An said, "Is ten people enough?" and the monk said, "That's enough, but only if you listen to us." Ji An agreed, and selected ten soldiers who were familiar with water, and he himself retreated to a high place a few feet away from the release pond, watching them from a distance.

I saw these fifteen people, a monk with two people to choose a dynamite bag, a monk with two people to make a lead, a monk with two people to prepare tools for going into the water, and two monks to choose four people with the best water ability and tell them the drawings. Ji An held his chin with his arm and one hand, and looked at them with interest, methodical and clear division of labor, not bad, not bad.

Everything was arranged, and the six people were finally about to enter the water, and the monk instructed the four again. With the explosives on their backs, the six men jumped into the release pool. The rest of the monks and soldiers retreated to safety and stared at the pool.

The shore was surprisingly quiet, everyone held their breath, only hearing their own heartbeat, including Ji'an, who was afraid of what if it really collapsed.

Suddenly, everyone felt that the ground under their feet shook, and they almost couldn't stand steadily. Then, the water level of the release pond began to descend rapidly, and soon a huge whirlpool formed in the center, and in an instant the fish swirled into the water.

It's exploded!

Ji'an was also shocked, and a few people guarding the edge of the pool quickly grabbed the rope and pulled it up desperately. Ji'an ordered someone to go over to help, and it was very laborious to pull people up against the whirlpool water. The six men finally pulled up, one monk and three soldiers were out of breath, and the other two were stunned.

Just blow it up, and Ji'an is very happy with his decision. When the water no longer sinks, he will send someone down, but should he go down with him? He hesitated.
