Chapter 171: Hideous Arhat
Zhuo Yifan was suddenly shocked, that thing actually looked like a person!
But if you look at it carefully, it doesn't look like a person, its whole face is hideous, and its dark and terrifying face makes Zhuo Yifan throw out the axe in his hand in a hurry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
I only heard the sound of "crackling", and the axe hit the solid stone, and it was bounced far away, and fell into the dark corner with a bang, and disappeared.
Zhuo Yifan looked up at the thing again and found that it was still standing intact, with a hideous fierce light on his face.
At this time, the yellowish fire shone on its body, and the nervous Zhuo Yifan realized that it was actually an ice sculpture.
An Arhat eagle with a hideous face and a terrifying face.
The whole body of the Luohan eagle is crystal clear, much taller than a normal person, and the most striking thing is that the thing he holds in the palm of his hand is like a bowl, but it is larger than anything he has ever seen before.
The surface that used to be golden or brown has now turned milky white.
Zhuo Yifan slowly approached and found that there was still some black liquid in it, which made him wonder why it didn't freeze in such a cold environment.
He was very curious, so he looked inside, and a strong pungent smell hit his face.
"Ahem......"
Zhuo Yifan was choked and coughed a few times, and at the moment he turned his head, he found that the edge of the bowl-shaped container was drooping with fluffy lines, which made Zhuo Yifan startled.
He thought it was a snake and hurriedly drove it away with a torch, when the outer flame of the fire accidentally touched the black line as he trembled.
In an instant, the line burned like a fiery snake, and strangely enough, it did not go out after burning, but burned more and more, and the cave became much brighter.
Looking at this strange scene, Zhuo Yifan was a little dumbfounded.
In this bowl-like container is actually stone water, and the black snake-like lines are the burning core. No wonder in this cold hole, he didn't freeze, and when he stepped forward, there was a pungent smell.
Zhuo Yifan smiled, and his waist straightened suddenly, the bright light is what he lacks the most now, and with a brighter light, he can feel steady.
The ice stone inside this ice statue is also formed by condensation due to the attachment of water all year round, and its exterior is ice, and the inside is stone.
The appearance of the stone sculpture in front of him, Zhuo Yifan is a little familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere.
"Oh! out there!" his mouth was half-open in surprise.
The stone sculpture on the outside was about the same size as it, but it wasn't frozen.
Not only are they similar in size, but even their physical features are somewhat similar, except that this one is in the shape of an Arhat, while the one outside is a vicious monk.
Looking at their similarities, Zhuo Yifan felt as if they had some kind of connection.
He thought to himself for a while, as if he felt that there would be one in the depths of the cave, and there would not be only this one.
Thinking of this, he paused, and continued to walk inside with the torch.
As we walked from the entrance of the cave, the width of the cave deepened, getting wider and wider, but it also became colder and colder.
Zhuo Yifan alternated his hands holding torches from time to time, because it was too cold and not replaced frequently, it was easy to freeze his hands.
He can't rest, he has to keep walking, so that he doesn't feel very cold.
As he walked, not far in front of him, an ice sculpture also appeared, because it was facing away from him, and he had not yet seen his true face.
He stepped forward slowly, and it was almost the same as the first two as he expected.
It's just that the ten fingers are together, and I don't see the vessel containing stone water, which makes Zhuo Yifan a little puzzled.
"No! I think it should be!"
Zhuo Yifan began to look up and down, and saw that not far from the foot of the ice sculpture, there was a lotus-shaped stone platform, and the top of the stone platform was bowl-shaped.
Seeing this, Zhuo Yifan smiled to himself, he knew that this stone bowl must be filled with stone water.
To prove that he was right, he stood on tiptoe and looked inside, and as he had hoped, the black stone water reached halfway up to the waist of the stone bowl.
Looking at the edge of the bowl left and right, he didn't see the black burning core, which obviously confused him, there was only stone water, no burning core, how could this be lit!
Looking at the stone bowl, Zhuo Yifan was suddenly a little disappointed, and he was overjoyed.
"Crackling ......"
The torches in his hands made a loud noise, and unburned debris continued to fall from above.
Looking at the fire jumping up and down, Zhuo Yifan had a bad feeling, speculating that the fuel soaked in it was about to burn out.
As soon as this thought came out, the fire of the jump gradually became smaller.
Zhuo Yifan looked at the fading firelight, and his heart beat hard.
"What can I do about this? It's going to be destroyed, it's going to be destroyed!"
This is the only light source available to him, and if it is really extinguished, then how can he see the road, then how can he move forward!
Zhuo Yifan was anxious for a while, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the stone water in the stone bowl, "Hey, there is!" His head flashed and he reacted immediately.
So he immediately put the torch in his hand into the stone bowl at an angle, and at the interval of a breath, the faint torch instantly rose into a blazing flame, and the burning flame sucked the stone water violently.
Seeing that the torch had regained its brightness, Zhuo Yifan took it out of the stone bowl.
Seeing this situation, he had an idea and came up with another solution.
I saw him slowly untie the rope on his waist, cut some with a kitchen knife, and put it into the stone bowl.
Then he coiled the rope around the stone bowl and picked out one end and put it on the rim of the bowl.
Lighting the end of the rope, the rope exposed to the stone water ignited instantly, and the fire was no less bright than the torch in his hand.
Looking at his masterpiece, Zhuo Yifan smiled at the corner of his mouth.
After a moment's pause, he picked up the torch again and continued to walk forward.
The probe poked its head forward and could only see a little distance in front of the torch, the rest of which was pitch black. He held his breath and looked around, but fortunately there was nothing unusual around him. Just as he was rejoicing, he just turned around and was stunned by the scene in front of him.
I saw a gray high platform in front of me, the high platform was about one person high, and there were stone steps on the side of the platform, and the blue-gray stepping stones emitted a dim luster under the light of the fire.
The stone steps are not very wide, they can only accommodate two people walking side by side, Zhuo Yifan slowly stepped forward, looking at the stone steps, he was a little puzzled, in such a cold cave, there can still be green moss growing on the stone steps.
He leaned down to touch the moss under his feet, and stumbled upon the warmth of the steps.
The air above the stairs was cold and biting, which meant that one place had two completely different temperatures.
"Could it have something to do with this high platform!" Zhuo Yifan muttered to himself.
After a while, he set his eyes on the high platform and swept around, "Let's go up and take a look!"
He straightened up again and climbed upward. (To be continued.) )
