Chapter Seventy-Six: The Donor Is Well!
It's a pity that this place has long been inhabited, and looking at the surrounding scenes, I'm afraid that it has been abandoned for a long time. As for whether he can find some useful information in it, Li Junhao has not held out too much hope.
But even if you can find even a few clues, it's excellent.
"Let's look around and see if we can get some useful information. Li Junhao proposed with some hesitation. It's useless to think about this kind of thing, it's better to look for it. Moreover, the temple has been roughly searched by the puppeteers, and no danger has been found in it. A few people should be careful, and there should be no problems.
Hearing Li Junhao's proposal, everyone looked at each other and nodded in agreement. The strange situation here also attracted their interest, and Yan Chixia and Xiahou Ying wanted to find the relationship between this place and Shushan. Tomb Mingde is pure tomb robber nature, and when he encounters this kind of interesting thing, he will inevitably be a little excited.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Li Junhao nodded solemnly. He had just turned around and taken two steps when he suddenly stopped.
He looked into the distance, his brow furrowed slightly, his head tilted sideways, his ears twitching slightly.
Seeing Li Junhao stop suddenly, although they were puzzled, they also stopped, and then looked at Li Junhao with a strange expression. Did he discover something, or think of something?
"Did you hear any strange sounds?" Li Junhao asked with some hesitation on his face.
He faintly heard some strange noises, like the sound of iron locks colliding, and some like the sound of iron ropes mopping the floor. In this empty and lonely forest, it looks particularly strange. Unfortunately, the sound is not clear, only faintly heard, even intermittently. Even he wasn't sure if he had heard it wrong.
"Voice, no. Xiahou Ying listened intently for a moment, and said a little strangely. With her cultivation, it is impossible for Li Junhao to hear about it, and she has not noticed it in the slightest.
"Maybe I misheard. Li Junhao wanted to determine the source of the chain sound, but he couldn't feel it anymore. He frowned and said with some uneasiness.
It may not be as peaceful as I thought, but what does the sound of chains mean? Could it be that there is some terrifying existence imprisoned here?
Hearing Li Junhao's words, several people nodded, but their faces were a little more dignified. After all, in this weird forbidden area, anything is possible, so it's better to be careful.
The four of them stepped out of the main hall and stood in the front yard of the temple that had been paved with stone slabs after it had been cleaned up.
Li Junhao looked at the spot for a moment, and behind him was an unobstructed and empty hall. On the left and right are some dilapidated side halls, and in front of you, there are mottled and broken shadow walls.
"Let's first investigate the front yard, you will explore the side halls on both sides, and I will check the front yard. Let the puppeteers investigate first, you be careful. Li Junhao gave six puppet figures, two of which were temporarily handed over to Yan Chixia and Xiahou Ying for use, and two of which were handed over to Tomb Mingde for use.
"Be careful, too. Yan Chixia accepted Li Junhao's kindness with a smile, punched him in the shoulder, and said with a smile.
After all, this is the most dangerous forbidden area in history. No one dares to say that there must be no danger here. Li Junhao was able to hand over the two puppets to him to explore the way. In Yan Chixia's opinion, this kind of thing is extremely righteous. Even he himself did not dare to say that he would definitely be able to make such a choice in such a dangerous time.
"Take care. Li Junhao smiled and accepted Yan Chixia's unique way of friendship, and said.
He knew in his heart that in such a strange place. Nowadays, only by cooperating can we have a better chance to survive and even get out of the forbidden area alive. Otherwise, once Yan Chixia and the others have an accident, they will lose the two who are important forces, and then lose the tomb Mingde who knows the forbidden area best.
How long can I survive, I'm afraid it's a question mark?
I guess I'm going to end up in it. So even if he was a little reluctant in his heart, he would still give them the few puppets to use. They were even abandoned at a critical moment to save their lives.
"Be careful. Xiahou Ying looked a little nervous, glanced at him, and said gently.
Li Junhao smiled and nodded, watching the two send puppets to walk into the side hall on the right first. After a moment, they carefully concealed each other and stepped into the side hall.
"Precious. Tomb Mingde looked at him deeply, his lips moved slightly, and he spat out some faint but clear words.
For Li Junhao's kindness, he will not refuse. Now that he has lost most of his combat power, he is also apprehensive in the face of the unpredictable forbidden area. He was asking, with his current cultivation, if he was alone, he was afraid that he would die extremely miserable in the end, right?
After speaking, Tomb Mingde followed behind the puppet man with a heavy face, and carefully stepped into the side hall on the left.
Looking at their figures disappearing into the side hall, Li Junhao breathed a sigh of relief.
They all knew in their hearts that in this dangerous forbidden area, there was no point in having too many people and too few people. For them, time is precious when the lone wolf does not know when it will come. Every moment they spend discovering clues and having a better chance of escaping safely.
Li Junhao thought about his thoughts in his heart, and cautiously explored the path of the two puppeteers in front of him, and protected the other beside him.
The front yard is not big, and the side halls on both sides are removed, and the shadow wall in front of you is worth paying attention to.
After a few steps, he left a puppet by his side to protect him. Arrange another puppet figure by the gate, guarding the side of the shadow wall that he can't see, in case of accidents.
Even so, he was still a little uneasy, and looked around cautiously. Seeing that there was no movement around him, he turned his attention to the shadow wall in front of him.
The shadow wall is more than one zhang high and two zhang wide. There are still a lot of withered vines left on it. The vines are arm-thick and look smooth with a faint golden color. The leaves are a little weird, and the lines on them are like a Buddha sitting cross-legged, extremely realistic, with a peaceful face and a hand pinching the Dharma seal.
Li Junhao looked at the vines that covered the shadow wall, and first walked around the shadow wall. He then commanded the puppeteers to step forward and pull the vines down.
The vines may not seem thick, but they are extremely tough. Like the finest blackiron forging, the vines collide and even make the sound of metal colliding. Crisp and peaceful, like Sanskrit singing, cleansing the soul.
In a matter of moments, the puppeteer ripped off all the vines. The paintings on the shadow wall finally reveal their true faces.
On it, although it is somewhat broken.
But it can be vaguely seen that in the vast sea of clouds, a majestic black dragon and a petite cyan dragon are entangled and frolicking. The pale golden sunlight poured on the sea of clouds, and the necks of the two dragons were entangled, revealing a peaceful atmosphere.
Their two pairs of lantern-sized dragon eyes looked at each other, full of admiration.
"What does this mean?" Li Junhao said as he stared at the mural, his left hand on his chest, and his right hand touching his chin.
No matter how you look at it, this painting should not be in the temple. The strong affection of the two dragons seems to be not so harmonious with the teachings of Buddhism!
Li Junhao thought of Huanxi Zen, and he was a little unsure. After all, no one dares to say that this temple was not built by believers in the Buddha of Joy. However, he always felt that he had made a discovery, but he was still short of a clue that could connect them. The enshrined Shushan Zhangjiao, the entangled dragon on the mural, what do these things mean.
Filled with doubts, he walked slowly towards the other side of the shadow wall. There must also be a mural there, which should be related. Walk to the shadow wall facing the temple gate. Looking at the shadow wall, his face was wrinkled.
Just because, most of the paintings on the shadow wall in front of me are broken, and only a small part of the murals are still intact. Vaguely recognizable, it's a tall tower. Unfortunately, the mural is so mutilated that I can no longer find any useful information.
"Hey. Li Junhao sighed softly, looked at the mural, and shook his head with some regret. Unfortunately, if the mural is complete, it may be possible to get more useful information.
It was a pity, but he wasn't too excited, after all, he didn't expect to get more useful information.
He let out a long sigh and was about to walk towards the courtyard.
"This benefactor is well. At this moment, a gentle chant like a spring breeze came from behind him!
