Chapter 15: Exploring the Crypt
Ji Yun and Ji Ling, two veteran Taoists, although they have been in the Baiyun Temple for more than 20 years, but since they entered the Baiyun Temple, they have not entered this tower, because this tower has been in disrepair for a long time and has become a dangerous tower very early, just in case, his master has long ordered that no one can enter the tower. It has been closed for so many years, because this time the rain was particularly heavy, and the tower was knocked down, and everyone was able to enter the tower base.
Ji Yun found that the base of the tower was empty, and he wanted to see what was going on, so he instructed Xiao Lao Dao, "Lift a few pieces of blue-striped stones on the foundation, and see what is under the ground?" Seeing this, Xiao Lin stepped forward and said, "Everyone take your time, as long as you pry open a crack in the stone, my hand can reach in, and I can lift it." I'm shouting now, let's all work together. ”
After speaking, she shouted "one, two, three" As soon as the three words came out, everyone worked together, and the huge stone was finally pried up a crack, Xiao Lin put his hand into the gap, and then shouted "open" in his mouth, the stone bar was lifted, and then he forcefully lifted the stone bar to the side, revealing the hole of the black hole. Everyone present was surprised, and Ji Yun ordered, "Lift the rest of the stones as well, so Xiao Lin also lifted those stones."
The entrance of a black hole is displayed in front of people's eyes, as soon as the stone is opened, there are several snakes crawling out of it, among which there is a big snake with a foot of three meters long, the big snake with the thickness of the bowl mouth twists its body, and hurriedly crawls into the distance, where the snake's belly rubs against the ground The sound is endless, which is terrifying. Most of the people at the scene changed color, and few people looked calm.
It is only when the various animals have run that people's hearts are a little calmer. Ji Yun and Ji Ling looked at the people around them, saw that no one spoke, and then said, "If no one goes down, I will take the roll call, have you heard?"
Seeing that there was still no response, Ji Yun said to Xiao Lin, "Mingyue, do you have the courage to go down and have a look?" Hearing the master call him, Xiao Lin took a step forward and said, "Master, the disciple is willing to go to this crypt to have a look." Ji Yun nodded, and then said, "If I'm not mistaken, there must be some secret in this cave, otherwise I wouldn't have built a pagoda on top of this cave." I don't know exactly what that is. ”
He paused for a moment, and then added, "You also saw just now, there are many animals crawling out, and it is unknown if there are other animals in them." You must be careful when you go down, there may be danger in it. But then again, the more dangerous the place, the more likely it is that there will be surprising discoveries. Xiao Lin said, "Disciple remember Master's words, I will definitely be careful." ”
Ji Yun Ji Ling nodded when he heard it, and then told Xiao Lin to be careful, Xiao Lin nodded.
There was not much time, and a few small Taoist priests supported the pulleys and brought a very long rope, and someone brought a large basket and tied the rope to the basket. Kobayashi carries two pigeons in his arms and carries a torch to start the fire. Everything was ready to stop, the little Taoist priest put the basket at the entrance of the cave, Xiao Lin sat in the basket, the basket slowly lowered down, as the rope put down became longer and darker, and then it was completely invisible.
At this time, Xiao Lin was very nervous, needless to say that he would be nervous even if he was replaced by anyone. Slowly, he didn't know how long the rope was put down, Xiao Lin felt that the basket was shocked, the basket was not going down, he hurriedly released a pigeon, and when he saw the pigeon flying out, Ji Yun and Ji Ling waved their hands at the same time and said, "Don't forget to put it down." Everyone stopped and looked anxiously into the cave. I saw that the entrance of the cave was dark, and nothing could be seen in the hole.
Xiao Lin came out of the basket, fumbled for the thing that started the fire, and lit the torch, but he didn't light it after a few clicks. He knew that this was due to the lack of oxygen in the cave, and he tried a few more times before lighting the torch. Torches lit up all around. I saw that the bottom of this hole is not big, but it is very smooth, and there is a stone gate about half a meter above the ground, and the stone gate is very thick.
Seeing the stone door in the cave, Xiao Lin couldn't help but be a little puzzled, what is inside this stone door? He pushed it with curiosity, but the stone door did not move, Xiao Lin was even more surprised, he used all his strength, pushed the stone door hard, the stone door was slowly pushed open, the stone door was opened, a wave of tide blew in the face, and the torch was almost blown out.
Immediately after that, he heard three bowstring sounds, and Xiao Lin felt bad, so he saw three arrows shooting from high and low in the middle, shooting straight to the front door, shooting to the ribs in the middle, and shooting low to the knees. The three arrows came quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived. Xiao Lin hurriedly lowered his body as much as he could, almost lying on the ground. barely managed to dodge these three arrows.
Immediately, his heart rose to his throat, and his head was sweating. If you come in and encounter such dangers, who knows what other dangers you will encounter. He waited a little longer, and when he saw that there was no movement, he got up and took his torch and shone it inside the stone door. I saw that the inside of the stone gate was paved with long stones, and it was very smooth.
Xiao Lin cautiously stepped forward, and when his feet stepped on the stone slab, his heart became more nervous. He was afraid that there would be a trap on the ground, so he remembered Master's teachings to go 13579, not 24680. lest you fall into a trap. He walked forward for a distance of more than ten meters, and came to the second stone gate.
This stone gate is the same as the first stone gate, except that the space here is larger than the space outside, and people can stand up straight and walk. For the second stone gate, Xiao Lin still pushed the stone door open as last time, and as soon as the stone door opened, Xiao Lin waited for the moisture to be released, and then he poked his head forward, and it didn't matter if he was this one, he was scared out of the sky.
