The door-to-door son-in-law of the beautiful president

Chapter 735 Top of Snow Mountain
"Don't scare yourself. When you see this sign, it means that you have arrived at the entrance of the Red Temple..." Li Jiangnan is bold, and naturally he will not be affected by Menglian's uneasiness, not to mention that he has seen this sign on the holy treasure map , Knowing that when you see this sign, you have already arrived at the Red Temple.

He walked over, grabbed the two copper pulls on the two division doors, and pulled them at the same time, and the stone doors were slowly separated, nothing unusual, nothing happened.

"Look, we have already walked out of the mountain, and going forward is the Red Temple..."

With the opening of the stone gate, the sun can already be seen outside. Under the sunlight, there is a small valley surrounded by steep cliffs in front of it. The flowers in the valley are in full bloom, and rare birds and animals are constantly running. In the distance, there are gurgling springs flowing down from the towering snow peaks. , this place is full of vitality, like a hidden paradise.

The two walked into the valley, and after walking a few meters, they saw a badly weathered stone tablet standing among wild flowers and rare grasses. They could vaguely see a few simple and simple inscriptions on the surface of the tablet, which seemed to be:

"The important place of the Red Temple is not allowed to enter without permission."

The inscription is: Wudao Monk.

Seeing this ancient stone tablet, Meng Lian finally became happy. It was true that she followed Li Jiangnan all the way. Now she has arrived at the important place of the Red Temple, where Wudao monk lived alone in his later years.

The two casually walked around this small valley twice, seeing the exotic flowers and plants in this valley, most of them were saffron, datura and other bright red wild flowers and plants, Meng Lian looked around, and there was With emotion, he said: "The secret record is right."

"This large area of ​​saffron, datura and other exotic flowers and plants should have been specially cultivated by the monks in the early years, so that large areas were left behind."

"It is said that the Wudao monk liked planting rare medicinal herbs the most, especially in his later years. He was obsessed with the study of secret Tibetan medicine, so he opened a small courtyard alone, planting his favorite flowers and plants, and using these exotic flowers Grass, try to research and prepare various elixir with different effects."

"The reason why the Red Temple is called the Red Temple is because the monks in their later years loved these bright red flowers and plants too much, so they took this title..."

Meng Lian was talking to herself, but Li Jiangnan didn't talk to her, but looked towards a mountain wall with a mountain spring flowing ahead.

There is a large natural depression on the mountain wall. In this sunken cave, there is a very weathered stone temple with two floors and a length of more than ten meters. Although the stone brick wall can be seen to be weathered and peeled off everywhere. However, the entire stone temple is still solid, still maintaining its original shape, and has not collapsed.

Li Jiangnan led Menglian to the ruins of the Red Temple, and first entered the lobby of the Stone Temple.

The main hall enshrines a huge Tathagata Buddha statue with mottled copper and rust. Although this Buddhist hall is relatively spacious, there is nothing worth noticing except for the weeds emerging from the stone brick floor.

Li Jiangnan looked around casually, then went to the adjacent side hall.

The four side halls respectively enshrine the bronze statues of the four guardians of Buddhism, but in front of these angry-looking King Kong Buddha statues, there is also a crystal coffin, which seems to be specially for people to watch and worship.

Li Jiangnan walked up to a crystal coffin and wiped off the dust on the cover of the crystal coffin. The two of them were able to see clearly that there was a strange corpse in armor that was not decomposed at all lying in the crystal coffin.

The corpse was obviously human, but there were thick animal hairs on the face and hands, and two long fangs were exposed from the mouth of the corpse, which looked quite terrifying.

Meng Lian was a little scared, so she hid behind Li Jiangnan unconsciously, looking nervously at the strange corpse in the crystal coffin, not knowing whether it was a human corpse or a beast corpse.

Li Jiangnan said lightly: "Don't be afraid, this is not a monster, it should be some kind of ape-man or savage, maybe a werewolf raised by wolves since childhood."

"If you tame them and put armor on them, that's what they look like now."

"I probably understand now. You said earlier that it was recorded in the secret record that Wudao monk subdued many monsters in his life, and then became a monk soldier under the gate of Bailian Temple. This probably refers to the guy in the coffin."

He raised his head and looked forward, "What is enshrined is the Buddhist Dharma Guardian Vajra. Obviously, he is telling everyone that the guy lying in the coffin has made meritorious service in guarding the Holy Land. He should be enshrined in the Buddhist hall, like a patron saint, and be admired forever."

He turned and looked to the side again, "If I'm right, the corpses in the crystal coffins in the other three side halls are probably in a similar situation."

"Either they are savages and apes tamed by monks, or wolf children and bear children who were raised by wild beasts since they were young. In short, this is the Mara Mountain area. There are such things. It is estimated that there will be more such half-human, half-beast anomalies in the Mara Primordial Mountains."

After hearing this, Meng Lian hurried to an adjacent side hall and wiped off the dust accumulated on the crystal coffin. As expected, Li Jiangnan's guess was right. Inside the coffin was a man wearing armor but covered in long hair. , Tall savage corpse.

She glanced at Li Jiangnan flickeringly in her beautiful eyes, secretly admiring, this guy seems to know a lot of things, he is indeed a smart person.

The two walked around the Red Temple Buddhist Hall for a while, but found nothing of value, so they continued on to the next stop: the White Temple.

According to the guidance of the Holy Treasure Map, the entrance of the White Temple is behind the mountain spring flowing down near the Red Temple. It is a dark passage like a water curtain cave covered by a waterfall. Then guarded by ferocious bronze statues of monks and soldiers, it is just a simple cave.

Through the cave tunnel, through the mountain, and then along the stone steps all the way up, the two walked for 3000 meters, and they were already on the top of the snow-capped snow-capped mountain.

The terrain here is also strange, it is obviously a snow peak that is frozen in the sky, but there is a steaming snow mountain lake in this place, which is probably the hot spring water gushing out from the ground and gathered together, it is about half the size of a football field. Very rare.

The two came to the steamy lake and looked around. Except for the snow, rocks, and the unfrozen lake, there was no grass or trees, and they didn't see any artificial buildings such as temples.

Li Jiangnan sat on the stone and carefully studied the redrawn holy treasure map in his hand, but the guide information on it stopped abruptly when he reached this snow peak, without any instructions.

"Can you show me?" Meng Lian saw him frowning and thinking alone, so she leaned over and sat beside him.

After finding here all the way, this redrawn holy treasure map no longer needs to be kept secret, so Li Jiangnan handed the holy treasure map to her.

Meng Lian studied for a long time, but just like Li Jiangnan, there is no longer any information on this holy treasure map, so naturally she will not tell her where the White Temple is going to be.

"I reckon it's under this unfrozen lake."

Li Jiangnan stood up, unloaded his backpack, then took off his coat and said, "The terrain more than 1000 years ago must be different from what it is now."

"Perhaps the ice-free lake here had not yet formed when Wu Dao Monk drew the picture."

"Maybe this is just a depression on the top of a mountain surrounded by snow peaks. It is also possible that there was no hot spring here, but as time went by, the rocks collapsed, and the hot spring water overflowed from the mountain, and then gradually rose and flooded the Wudao monk. the White Temple."

"Anyway, I'm going to go into the water to have a look. As for you, you'd better stay on the shore and wait for my news."

As Li Jiangnan said, he had already taken off his shirt, exposing his firm upper body, and jumped into the lake with a plop.

Meng Lian was stunned for a moment, but before she could react, she saw that this guy had already jumped into the water and disappeared, and she couldn't help but began to struggle in her heart, should I go into the water with him to have a look?
If, if, if he finds some treasure under the frozen lake, will he hide it from me and eat it all by himself?

At this time, Meng Lian inadvertently caught a glimpse from the corner of her eye. Far below, Meng Jue and the others had already appeared on the stone steps to the Xuefeng Mountain. Meng Lian quickly lowered her head, hid behind the rocks, and watched nervously.

"Master, look!"

"There are footprints ahead, that vixen Meng Lian must have taken that man to the Xuefeng above!"

"Speed ​​up and catch up with them! If Menglian dares to resist, shoot and kill!"

Meng Jue drew out his sword from behind, led several male disciples, and approached Xuefeng.

Meng Lian was a little panicked, knowing that once she encounters the master sister Meng Jue, she will either be arrested and punished severely, or she will be killed on the spot, there can be no other end.

But the top of this snow-capped mountain is unobstructed, even if they want to avoid them, there is nowhere to hide.

So she hurriedly took off the clothes Li Jiangnan took off on the shore and hid them in a messy grotto. Then, without taking off her clothes, she walked slowly into the lake, took a deep breath, and dived into the bottom of the water.
