Chapter 111: The Treasure of the White Lotus Sect
On the north side of the sarcophagus is a lotus oil lamp that has just been lit by Long Xiaotian with a torch, and on the right side of the tomb is a closed stone door, on which there seems to be a row of dense texts.
"There's a word on that stone door, let's go over and see what's written on it!"
However, when the two of them came to the stone door on the right side of the tomb, Long Xiaotian was disappointed to find that the words engraved on the door were not Chinese characters, but a row of words that he couldn't read at all.
"Why is it not engraved with Chinese characters, I can't understand it at all, how is this good!"
Just when he was at a loss for this matter, Ma Xiuying's words made him find a glimmer of hope in despair.
"It's in Arabic, I can read it. ”
After hearing this, Long Xiaotian suddenly felt a burst of joy in his heart, and he said to Ma Xiuying with an excited face: "Can you read Arabic? This is really great, please quickly translate the words on this to me in Chinese, and see what is written on it?"
"Good. ”
Then she translated the words on the stone door in Chinese.
"Someone who is destined to do three bows and nine bows to my bones before opening this stone door. ”
After hearing this row of words translated by Ma Xiuying, Long Xiaotian said: "There may be a way out behind this stone gate, let's do what he said to bow three times and bow nine times to these sarcophagi!"
Ma Xiuying responded: "Okay, anyway, we are trapped here and waiting to die, it is better to find a way to open this door and find a way out." ”
However, at this time, Long Xiaotian asked her a question with a puzzled face.
"How can you read the Arabic on the stone door?"
"Because I am a Hui people, we believe in Pozlanism, and the Koran of our Pozlanism is written in Arabic, and the White Lotus Religion originated in the Western Arab Empire, and since the Tang Dynasty, it has been introduced to Middle-earth with Pozlanism, so the White Lotus Religion will use the common Arabic as a code. ”
Hearing Ma Xiuying say this, Long Xiaotian suddenly realized: "Oh! I understand, those who can read Arabic must be the brothers in the sect, in order to prevent people from outside the White Lotus Sect from breaking into the tomb and knowing the secret behind this stone door, so they carved Arabic on this stone door." ”
Ma Xiuying nodded, feeling that Long Xiaotian's analysis made sense, so she said: "Well, maybe just like you said, you can use Arabic as a code, and those who can be proficient in Arabic in the White Lotus Sect will definitely not have an ordinary status in the White Lotus Sect." ”
When she said this, Ma Xiuying introduced herself on a whim: "My name is Ma Xiuying, dare to ask Gongzi's surname?"
Long Xiaotian arched his arms and responded politely: "My name is Long Xiaotian, and I am a disciple of the Huashan Sect, fortunately, I can solve the mystery on the stone gate by meeting you, otherwise I would have to be trapped here." ”
Ma Xiuying said with a smile: "Where is Long Gongzi, when I was in the corridor of the tomb just now, if I hadn't been rescued by Gongzi, I'm afraid I would have died under the arrows." ”
"Haha, so the two of us are friends in trouble! Long is very happy to be able to meet Miss Ma, why don't we make friends!"
And Ma Xiuying was happy to be friends with Long Xiaotian at this time, and she unconsciously had a good impression of the handsome young man in front of her.
"Yes, it's my honor to be friends with Long Gongzi. ”
When the two of them said this, Long Xiaotian used his peripheral vision to scan the sarcophagus that was still in place, and finally remembered something very important.
"Let's bow down to the sarcophagus!"
"Okay. ”
Just as the two of them knelt down in front of two of the sarcophagi, Long Xiaotian found that the front end of the sarcophagus was engraved with the epitaph of the tomb owner written in Arabic, and he said with surprise on his face: "Look, this should be the epitaph of the tomb owner engraved on the sarcophagus, but it is still written in Arabic, so I should trouble Miss Ma to translate it." ”
"Okay. ”
After Ma Xiuying finished speaking, she read: "Han Shantong, a native of Luancheng, Zhaozhou, is the twenty-second generation leader of the White Lotus Sect. ”
Then she looked at another sarcophagus and found that there was also an epitaph in Arabic on it, so she read: "Han Lin'er, Luancheng of Zhaozhou, is the twenty-third generation leader of the White Lotus Sect, and the son of Han Shantong." ”
When she finished reading, she said: "I didn't expect Han Lin'er's epitaph to only write such a little!"
Looking at the young hot-blooded young man he had seen in the past, but lying in a cold coffin at this moment, Long Xiaotian couldn't help but have a burst of emotion in his heart, feeling the regret of the deceased after leaving, and the ruthlessness of fate, he couldn't help but sigh: "When I saw him for the first time, he was still standing in front of me, looking so handsome and extraordinary, I didn't expect that when I saw him again this time, it was actually separated by yin and yang, and the good youth passed away in such a hurry, which is really a pity!"
"Young Master Long, do you know him?"
Long Xiaotian nodded and said, "Yes, that day, after I was ordered by my master to go to the gates to deliver the hero post, I met Sect Master Han Lin'er in Guazhou by chance, and after parting ways at the Guazhou ferry, I didn't expect it to be a farewell. ”
"Yes, the untimely death of Sect Leader Han Lin'er is all regrettable, let's continue to see what is written on Han Shantong's epitaph!"
So she translated: "Those who can be proficient in Arabic must be my brother of the White Lotus Sect, and my religion originates from the Western Regions, with *** Religion was introduced into the Central Plains, arose in the Tang and Song dynasties, the religion to save the world for the life of the people, the people in the dire straits, if the tyranny of the dynasty will be overthrown, and the people are peaceful and prosperous, this is the doctrine of my religion, where the successor of the head of my religion, need to designate its inheritance through the previous leader, need to be unanimously approved by the brothers of the religion at the White Lotus Conference, and then kneel down in front of the sarcophagus of the head of the past three bows and nine knocks, after the side door is opened, you can enter the inner room to learn the treasure of my town Lotus thousand petals, in order to become the new leader. ”
When Long Xiaotian listened to this translated text, he who had always been upright began to have some worries in his heart, so he said: "It turned out that it was a canon set by the leaders of the White Lotus Sect in the past dynasties, and only those who took over as the leaders of the White Lotus Sect can enter the stone room on the right side to cultivate the Lotus Thousand Petal Hand, the treasure of the White Lotus Sect, and I am not a person in this sect, and I am not a candidate for the new sect leader, so it is a bit bad to go in and get a glimpse of the treasure of the White Lotus Sect!"
Ma Xiuying persuaded on the side: "Young Master Long, don't hesitate any longer, this is the only way we can get out, maybe there is really an exit from the stone room on the right, otherwise we will have to stay in this ghost place where birds don't and wait for death." ”
When Long Xiaotian heard this, he felt that what she said sounded very reasonable, so he decided to listen to her and open the stone room on the right side to take a look.
"Okay! ”
So, the two bowed in front of Han Shantong and Han Lin'er's sarcophagus, and after knocking three times, the stone door on the right side automatically opened, and then the two of them walked in.
When the two of them went in to take a look, they found that there was a mat dwelling for people to sit cross-legged in this stone room, there was a futon on top of the mat dwelling, and in front of the mat dwelling there were four stone weights weighing 300 kilograms.
After seeing all the scenes in this room, Long Xiaotian guessed: "This must be the thing used by the new White Lotus Sect Leader to cultivate the Lotus Thousand Petal Hand, there should be no way out, I think we should go to other places to find out, is there a way out." ”
When he was about to leave this stone room, Ma Xiuying stopped him and persuaded: "Don't look for it, there is no exit at all, instead of looking for it without a purpose like this, it is better to take a look at the mantra and mental method of this lotus thousand petal hand, and practice this martial art, maybe you can increase your strength." ”
"Do you want me to practice the Lotus Thousand Petal Hand? No, this is the martial arts practiced by the White Lotus Sect Master, and I can't practice it. ”
"Do you want to stay in this tomb and wait to die? If you don't practice this martial art, you and I won't be able to get out. ”
Hearing Ma Xiuying say this, Long Xiaotian guessed a little mystery in her words.
