Siheyuan: Living in the People's Community, with a Heart for the Red Star

After a thorough search, Lao Yang found no flaws. Lao Yang came to the two giant swords and reached out to grab one of them. His hand felt the blade was unusually cold. Lao Yang grabbed the back of the giant sword with both hands and used all his strength to try to move the giant sword, but unfortunately he could not move the sword at all.

Old Yang's mind raced, and he activated his consciousness space instantly, storing the entire giant sword in his consciousness space. The alarm did not sound as expected, and it seemed that this giant sword did not have any alarm device. So Old Yang did not hesitate to store the other giant sword in his consciousness space.

The display stand without the giant sword immediately changed and began to rise slowly. When Lao Yang was struggling to decide whether to jump down, he saw a crack in the ceiling, and the display stand under his feet rose directly through the hole.

Old Yang stood on the exhibition stand and moved up to the upper level. This level was less than three meters high, with rows of display cabinets, each of which contained some equipment and books. The display cabinet on one side was filled with jade slices, one next to another, covering the entire display stand.

There were strange symbols carved on the jade pieces, and they were emitting a faint stream of light. Old Yang's mind was instantly attracted by these jade pieces. These jade pieces were definitely not simple, but they were all covered by special crystals on the display cabinets and could not be touched.

Lao Yang reached out and knocked on the crystal, but found no flaws, nor did he find the mechanism. Lao Yang launched a full-strength attack on the crystal, but the crystal was not damaged at all. After observing for a while, Lao Yang tried to use the consciousness space to put the entire booth into the space, but he received a strong resistance, and the booth did not move at all and could not be put into the space.

Lao Yang was not discouraged and began to search around the entire floor, trying to find the secret of this floor. Unfortunately, Lao Yang overestimated himself. He did not recognize any symbols and words in the building. Although he learned some basics from Pudar, it was not enough. It was wishful thinking to want to find the secret! After a circle, he did not find any loopholes. He had a lot of treasures but got nothing. He could only sigh at the treasures.

Lao Yang went back to the booth and tried to get it back to the fifth floor, but suddenly found that he couldn't operate the booth to go down at all. So Lao Yang started searching the booth again, trying to find the mechanism, but was disappointed again. Lao Yang really didn't have the talent for this, and after a long time he still couldn't find the mechanism, so he had to stop and sit on the booth to think.

He took out a bottle of mineral water and a donkey meat hot pot from the space and ate and drank at the same time. His eyes were still scanning the exhibition stand. It was such a small platform, where would the mechanism be placed?

Therefore, when people are in desperate situations, they must stay calm, take out food and drinks, eat with confidence, and once they fill their stomachs, they will be able to think of a solution!

After eating and drinking, Lao Yang came to the place where the two long swords were placed before. Although he wanted to put the two swords back to their previous positions, he couldn't release them because the floor was too low. He stood on the base of the two swords with a try-it attitude, and found that the platform did not change at all. After thinking about it, he made a set of armor weighing five tons from the space and put it on.

This was the dumbest method Lao Yang could think of, but it actually worked. The entire platform began to slowly descend and finally returned to the fifth floor. So Lao Yang quickly jumped down from the base of the long sword and put the two giant swords back in the space. Only then did the entire exhibition stand return to its original state, and the gap on the roof quickly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

Old Yang heaved a sigh of relief and prepared to leave now and come back after learning the divine text. When he arrived at the entrance of the library on the first floor, he saw Pudar waiting at the door. He was gnawing on a chicken leg. There was a cloth bag on the ground next to him, with some food and water inside. It seemed that Pudar was prepared to wait at the door for a long time for Old Yang to come out.

Old Yang was very satisfied with Pudar's attitude. He walked up to Pudar with great appreciation, patted Pudar on the shoulder and said, "Not bad, very thoughtful. If you don't show up for a long time, will it cause trouble? Let's leave the temple now and return to my territory. Do you have any problem?"

Pudar quickly stuffed the chicken leg in his hand into the cloth bag and replied, "It's okay, don't worry, sir! People like us practice in seclusion all year round, and we may not see each other for several years at a time. No one will doubt where we are going. As long as our token is still in the temple, there will be no problem! When I leave with you later, I will put the token in my room. After they find out, they will only think that I am dead, and will not think that I have left the temple, because no one can leave the temple freely, except the gods!"

After listening to Pudar's explanation, Lao Yang felt relieved. He was really worried that the temple would be closed and the entrance would be lost because of the two of them. So he told Pudar, "When you get out, you will start teaching me the sacred text. Let's try to master it in the shortest time! Go and see if there are any books or dictionaries you need to take with you, and pack up the things you want to take with you. I will take them all with you. I don't know when you will be back this time. Do you have a chance to come back? So take everything you think is important!"

"Yes, sir! Please accompany me back to my residence and wait. I will prepare everything in the shortest possible time!"

Pudar was very excited when he heard Lao Yang's order, and quickly invited Lao Yang to go home and pack up his things.

Pudar picked up the cloth bag on the ground and led Lao Yang to walk crookedly for nearly twenty minutes before they arrived at the gate of a small courtyard. He opened the door and let Lao Yang in.

"Sir, this is my courtyard on the second floor of the temple. Only knights and missionaries are eligible to buy this courtyard. Because this floor is basically full of missionaries and knights, ordinary believers are not allowed to come to the second and first floors. Although many missionaries and knights have purchased houses, they are often on missions outside and rarely live there, so there are not many people on these two floors.

My Lord, please wait for me in the house without worry. No one will disturb you. I will go and collect all the items I need to bring. I won’t delay you for too long!”

"Very good, Pudar, go and pack up, I'll wait for you here!"

Old Yang sat directly on the stool in the living room and told Pudar to prepare.

Pudar left the yard in a hurry to prepare for the long journey, while Lao Yang sat on a stool, closed his eyes and sank into space.

Although the things Lao Yang got from the temple this time were not many, they were all considered fine products. Especially the magical things, which Lao Yang took seriously for the first time. Now thinking back to the heirlooms contributed by the Cheng brothers and sisters, it is possible that they were lost from the temple. However, because of the long time, no one knows why the descendants of the Cheng family can no longer use the heirlooms. There must be a reason for this, but unfortunately it has disappeared from the genealogy of the Cheng family!

Especially this time, we got two demon statues. No matter what the reason, these things are definitely not creatures on Earth. So it’s terrifying to think about it. Who knows if a group of aliens will come to Earth and enslave humans in the next moment!

While thinking about it, Lao Yang decomposed the items collected from the temple in the space and extracted unknown substances from them. Lao Yang, who was addicted to decomposition, decomposed several people killed in the temple without paying attention, and decomposed seven substances that did not exist in the outside world from their bodies!

Five of them are metals, and two are energies, which is the root of the difference between the believers in the temple and the outside world. It is these seven things combined with other human substances that cause the difference between the strong in the temple and ordinary people!

Since the amount Lao Yang obtained from decomposition was very small, he was unable to test the properties of these substances, so he had to seal them in a corner of the space and prepare to study them carefully after collecting more samples in the future. Try to bring a new way out for your family, otherwise it won't take many years for Lao Yang to experience the pain of separation from his wife and children!

When Lao Yang opened his eyes, he saw Pudar dragging a bag of things into the living room, and then hurriedly left the house. After going back and forth several times, Pudar went into the bedroom to pack his personal belongings, and soon the hall was filled with large and small bags.

After working hard for more than five hours, Pudar stood respectfully in the living room to report to Lao Yang.

"Master Yang, everything we need to take with us has been prepared. It is all in this hall. Please take care of it. We can set off at any time!"

Lao Yang nodded and said, "Okay, let's go!"

Without checking whether everything was complete, he stood up and walked out. Wherever Lao Yang passed, all the packages blocking his way disappeared. Pudar quickly followed Lao Yang out of the yard, then Pudar locked the door and led Lao Yang to the central transmission channel. Lao Yang used the God's Envoy Token to open the channel and came to the first floor of the temple.

After Pudar came out of the passage, he began to introduce the situation on the first floor.

"Sir, there are eight halls on this floor, leading to eight directions, and each direction has an exit. Each hall is guarded by three Sunlight Knights or Bishops, who are responsible for recording the knights and missionaries who travel outside. They are replaced every year.

In the center of the temple is a cathedral dedicated to the five gods. On both sides of the cathedral are the Meditation Hall and the Discipline Hall. In the Discipline Hall, there is a map of the entire first floor of the temple, as well as a map of the entrances outside the temple. I believe that the map in the Discipline Hall is useful to you, so you can consider making a copy of the map! "

Seeing that Lao Yang did not say anything, Pudar continued, "In the hall you entered, the returning knight and the two stationed knights were personally sent to see the gods by you. There are still some troubles that need to be dealt with seriously, otherwise it may alarm the Discipline Hall of the Temple and cause unpredictable changes!"

Old Yang was also thinking about the question raised by Pudar. Should he go to the Discipline Hall now to make a copy of the map? Otherwise, if the Discipline Hall is alerted, some passages will be closed, and it will not be so easy to find the temple!

"Do you have any good ideas? How long is it until your shift is over? Will anyone suddenly come to the hallway to check during this time?"

"The three of us have been stationed at Qianmen for more than three months, and it will probably take another nine months before someone comes to take over our job. During this period, if there is no emergency, no one should come to check. As for a good solution, there is really no way. The stupid way is to deal with the bodies of the two people, create the illusion of accidental death to deceive the Discipline Hall, and dispatch other people to guard the place!"

Pudar had no experience in dealing with this kind of situation and came up with a stupid solution.

As Lao Yang walked forward, he clapped his hands and said, "What a pity! If I had said this earlier, it could have been realized. Now it's too late! I have already decomposed the body into its original particles and cannot restore it! It seems that we have no choice but to go to the Discipline Hall and rob the map!"

Old Yang turned to look at Pudar and asked, "Do you think if we pretend that the three of you escaped from the temple, would they seal off the Qian Gate and go to the secular world to hunt you down? Or does the temple have the means to change the exit location of the passage?"

Pudar thought about it seriously and replied, "For thousands of years, the temple has always had eight passages leading to eight directions, so the passages should have never been blocked. As for why no one has found the entrance to the passage, I don't know, and I haven't seen any relevant records. Maybe there are some special means. I can't provide you with any effective suggestions in this regard, so please make the decision!"

Old Yang thought for a moment and said, "The temple has been at peace for thousands of years, so they definitely don't care about the lives of the three of you. They might even take some measures to track down the three of you. There's no need to worry about it anymore, just leave. I don't believe this temple will grow legs and run away!"

Pudar quickly flattered him, saying, "Your Excellency is wise. It's all up to you!"

Soon, under the leadership of Pudar, the two returned to the lobby of Qianmen. They cleaned the floor and tables and chairs again. After finding no flaws, they left the temple and walked towards the ground along the underground passage.

Soon the two of them came to the end of the passage and saw the tightly sealed stone door. Old Yang asked Pudar for a method: "Pudal, how do we open this stone door from the inside? Is there any other door?"

Pudar shook his head and said, "The only way to open this door is to hold a token from outside. Only the Discipline Hall can open it from inside. As the garrison bishop, I don't have the authority to come to the door and open it. There's nothing I can do about it!"

Old Yang didn't waste any time, he took out a strong flashlight and started to feel around the door. Unfortunately, after working for a long time, he found nothing, so Old Yang completely gave up on the study of mechanisms!

Old Yang turned around and walked back along the passage, and Pudar followed behind him silently. After walking back about a hundred meters, Old Yang stopped and ordered Pudar: "Pudal, stay away from me, I want to open a new passage at this location!"

What Lao Yang is best at is not taking the usual path. Life with cheats is so lonely. After Pudar retreated a few meters, Lao Yang took out his high-pressure water gun cutter from the space and fired at the top of his head. Soon a passage was cut out, and all the gravel and dirty water were collected back into the space. If you don't look up, you can't find that there is a passage above your head!

Lao Yang made some simple changes to the entrance of the passage and made a stone that acted like a stopper. After it was put out, it just covered the top of the original passage, fitting perfectly. Even if you looked up, you couldn't tell that there was a passage here.

Lao Yang brought Pudar to the passage, sealed the entrance and cut upwards diagonally. After about a hundred meters, the front suddenly turned into an ice layer. Lao Yang cut forward about three meters before he saw the air. After sending Pudar to the ground, he blocked the hole with stones, and the ice blocks that were cut were all blocked back into the passage. After Lao Yang's operation, it was completely impossible to see that there was a hole here!
