Chapter 81: The Strange Statue
Everyone will not know that in the deepest part of this Xuantian Treasure Hall, there is a very dark secret room, which is empty, and only a three-foot high platform is built in the center, on which is placed a coffin with a dark blue body like a thousand years of cold jade. And just when the Demon Brake Three Absolute took out the Xuanqi Bead from the eyes of the Yin Array, the corpse of a yellow-robed Taoist priest who was originally lying calmly in this coffin suddenly opened his eyes, which were not at all like normal people's eyes, without the slightest whites of his eyes, only a strange and dark pitch black, which looked terrifying.
......
After He Lingfeng and the others entered the Xuantian Treasure Hall, they found that what appeared in front of them was a spacious hall, with a corridor on each side, and it seemed that each corridor had two rows of relative walls, all over the many secret rooms, roughly estimated, there were more than three hundred rooms, most of them were hidden treasures, and there seemed to be prohibitions, and some of the sects who entered the hall first had already scattered among them and began to break the prohibition.
There are many secret rooms on both sides, even if the people who enter this place are divided equally between one person, it is more than enough, and it seems that the prohibition is not easy to break, and for a while, they will not worry that each other will compete with each other or the secret room will be swept away by the rest of the sects, so He Lingfeng and the others will look at this hall first to see if they can see some clues, and want to know a little about this place before acting.
The furnishings in the hall in front of you are similar to the general Taoist god temples, in which incense candles, shrines, ritual utensils and other sacrificial offerings to the gods are readily available, but at a glance, the incense burner and the flame of the incense candle on the candlestick have been extinguished for many years.
On the wall in the center, facing the crowd is a painted statue that is more than three feet high. He Lingfeng looked carefully and saw that this statue was sitting cross-legged, with his left leg stretched slightly outward, and his right leg curled inward, in the shape of guarding the yang and embracing the yin. The hands are lowered between the legs near the abdomen, the thumb of the left hand is pinched into the tip of the middle finger, the thumb of the right hand is inserted from the mouth of the left hand, and pressed on the root of the ring finger of the left hand, and the other four fingers are hugged together, which is a meridian formula.
The statue is dressed in a wide robe of orange and yellow, and a picture of Tai Chi Bagua is printed on the chest. And further up, you can see that its face is boxy, with a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes, a lion nose and a wide mouth, and low ears, which looks quite unangry and self-threatening. The figure wears a purple-gold lotus crown on his head, and a hairpin of the same color is inserted in a meridian hairpin from back to front.
"It's a very elaborate statue. He Lingfeng said with a little admiration.
However, when his gaze moved up again, he was a little stunned, on the wall above the statue, on a white jade brick, where the name of the statue should have been enshrined, a few big characters protruding from it were actually "Xuantian Shangren Divine Position"!
This made He Lingfeng shocked at the moment, and even had a feeling of a chill on his back.
You must know that these cultivators, because they have come into contact with a lot of strange powers and disturbing gods, they regard the things of gods and ghosts much more seriously than mortals. Regardless of the Demon Dao for the time being, these righteous people, except for some sects that have roots in Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, will worship some gods related to the inheritance of the sect, and the rest of the sects will rarely worship any gods, which is a very taboo thing.
Because for cultivators, the so-called gods are actually cultivators who have transcended the limits of the human world and have the body of an immortal god. Therefore, cultivators who know these inside stories rarely believe in any gods, and maybe they may become one of them in the future, even if the immortal path is slim.
However, when they fail to ascend to immortality, they will never and dare not regard themselves as immortals, it is said that doing so will cross the Great Dao, which is a great disrespect to the rules of heaven and earth, and will attract the wrath of the Great Dao and send down heavenly punishment when crossing the tribulation in the future. Under the curse of heaven, not only will the bones of the corpses not exist, but even the traces of the primordial gods will be wiped out, and there will be no trace of this person in the reincarnation of heaven and earth.
There are such taboos, not to mention being like the Xuantian Master in front of him, who directly worships himself as an immortal. Such a rebellious act is truly outrageous.
This is not the same as the statue of the ancestor of some sects, if the ancestor is ascended to become an immortal, it is understandable to worship the god position, like He Lingfeng's own sect, the patriarch Wanhua Taoist is to fly away, the body of the immortal god, so there will be a statue of the immortal master of the Wanhua Taoist in the sect for the future generations to admire. If the patriarch did not achieve the position of the immortal god, he generally only offered portraits to people to admire, and rarely shaped the statues, even if they made statues, the specifications of the sacrifices would not be as grand as those in front of them. He Lingfeng glanced at the furnishings of the offering table, as well as the number of incense burners and candlesticks, and was sure in his heart that this Xuantian Venerable had obviously deliberately offended the taboo.
He Lingfeng's heart sank, and he faintly had a bad feeling, this Xuantian Treasure Hall didn't seem to be a good place. Not only He Lingfeng noticed the strangeness of this place, he turned his head to look, and the two senior brothers also looked a little ugly.
However, Chen Jiaolong's eyes just flashed, he groaned slightly, and said, "No matter how this Xuantian Heavenly Man pretends to be a ghost, let's just act carefully." There are many secret rooms here, you go and occupy one first, it is best to break the ban, if you can't break it, occupy it first, and wait for the others to free up their hands and then go to help, ensure that everyone can enter at least one, and then search for the hidden things as soon as possible. After that, I will decide whether to leave this place as soon as possible or fight with other sects, depending on the situation in the remaining vaults. ”
Everyone nodded in agreement without the slightest objection, and soon dispersed in the passages on both sides, occupying an uninhabited secret room and starting to break the ban.
However, He Lingfeng's three senior brothers did not rush to find the secret room, but gathered together to discuss something.
"Little junior brother, in my opinion, although there are many secret rooms here, they all look the same, even if there are secret treasures, most of the two things you are looking for will not be here. Chen Jiaolong said first.
"I also think what the senior brother said is reasonable, I saw that this hall was so conspicuous before, and it was named "Xuantian Treasure Palace", if it was just a few secret rooms, it was really a little possible, but I didn't think that the pattern inside was like this. Then, according to the various possibilities we analyzed before leaving, there were only three places left: the Xuantian Master's bedroom, the study, and the cultivation secret room. And most of these three places will be not far apart, most likely in the same building. Third Senior Brother, what do you say?" He Lingfeng thought for a moment, then replied, and glanced at the Third Senior Brother again as he spoke.
That's what I mean. In this way, there must be a senior brother in this place, looking at these disciples in the sect, in case there is any one who can't leave for a while, so I'll accompany you on a journey and go find out. Yun Zhongtian seemed to have already thought about it, and replied casually.
"Well, I'll stay here. Senior Brother Yun, you take good care of the little junior brother, before leaving, the master and his old man gave thousands of instructions, let the two of us protect the little junior brother all the way, saying that this trip must not let the little junior brother lose a single hair. Although Chen Jiaolong was a little worried, he had to agree because the affairs within the door were equally important.
"Senior brother, don't worry! Then we'll go first. Yun Zhongtian said with a very confident look.
Senior Brother Chen Jiaolong nodded, didn't say anything more, He Lingfeng and the third senior brother immediately left. Chen Jiaolong stood in place for a moment, then turned around and walked towards a passage on the left, ready to break open a secret room to try his luck.
He Lingfeng and the two of them came out of the Xuantian Treasure Palace, rose into the air, observed in mid-air, and found that not far behind the palace, there was an independent three-story attic, which looked quiet and elegant, but it was very spacious all around, and it was different from the tight pattern of other buildings, and its status was obviously more noble.
The two of them discussed it for a while, and felt that this place was a bit like the place they were looking for, so they went to see it. Now that he has made up his mind, he no longer hesitates, and he appeared in front of the attic after a while.
