My understanding is beyond belief. I am cultivating immortality in the world of tomb raiders.

Shen Hao took the lead and walked towards the stone Dharani Sutra Pillar.

At the same time, he also paid a little attention to the little ghost piled behind the stone statue of the minister to prevent it from suddenly attacking and hurting people.

The three of them had already observed the Dharani Sutra Pillar just now.

Although Shen Hao noticed that there was something wrong with the Dharani Sutra Pillar, he didn't know what the problem was.

Now, as soon as the ghost child appeared, the protection mechanism of the Dharani Sutra Pillar was activated.

It seems that this Dharani Sutra Pillar is specially designed to prevent ghosts from outside from causing damage.

The Dharani Sutra Pillar is more than two feet high and has an octagonal body.

Compared with the scriptures, the decorative carvings account for a larger proportion.

But it does not affect the protective power of the Sutra Pillar at all.

It seems that Empress Xiao specially found someone to open the Sutra Pillar, and it must be a high monk with strong magic power, otherwise it would not be possible to activate the spirit of the Sutra Pillar and continue to protect it for a thousand years without extinction.

The three layers at the bottom of the pagoda are covered with carved Sumeru pedestals, with carvings of history, musical instruments, and architecture.

Going up, the giant dragon hovers on Mount Sumeru, which supports six layers of pagodas, which gradually shrink.

Between each layer of pagodas, there are hanging curtains, upturned lotuses, and thrones with lion and elephant heads carved on the waist as intervals.

On the top is a flame orb.

The entire pagoda is exquisitely carved and has a gorgeous and solemn shape.

From it, Shen Hao can feel a sense of Buddha nature, which has the meaning of protection.

Five suspended spirits, floating in the darkness, appear to protect the pagoda.

However, Shen Hao saw that this guardian spirit only targets ghosts and cannot affect people.

Shen Hao circled the pagoda stone pagoda, carefully examined it, and released his spiritual consciousness to explore it.

However, the pagoda is blessed by Buddhist magic power, and the spiritual consciousness cannot penetrate it.

However, Shen Hao still made a discovery.

It turns out that this pagoda is not a one-piece sculpture.

It is made up of several parts, like a mortise and tenon structure, with a mechanism set up in it.

It seems that the sealed and guarded thing is hidden inside the pagoda.

Shen Hao walked to the pagoda, hugged the connection of the upper layer of the pagoda with both hands, and turned it left and right with force.

The pagoda could not turn left, but it turned right easily.

There were only a few "clicks" of friction, and the cover on the top of the pagoda loosened.

The top of the pagoda is larger than the pagoda below. If it is hollowed out, it can hold some things.

The cover of the pagoda rose, and Shen Hao moved it down and put it on the ground.

Hu Bayi and Fatty also gathered around.

There was a hole in the middle of the pagoda, which was not too big or too small, and there was something inside.

Shen Hao raised his hand and took it out.

Fatty and Hu Bayi turned on their headlights and observed carefully.

This is actually a stone statue of a two or three-year-old boy.

But this boy opened his mouth wide, smiling, with eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose, just like a living child.

"Could it be that the crying sound just now came from this stone boy?" asked the fat man.

"No way, how can this stone statue make a sound?" Hu Bayi shook his head.

"Where did it come from?" asked the fat man again.

Shen Hao carefully looked at the stone statue in his hand. He felt that the stone statue was like a black hole. If a little spiritual consciousness was probed into it, it would disappear without a trace.

Shen Hao tried to inject a little magic power into it, and the magic power entered the stone statue and disappeared immediately.

"There is indeed a problem inside, but I don't know what it is." Shen Hao said to himself.

The thing inside seemed to be awakened by Shen Hao's magic power.

Suddenly, a black mist spurted out of the mouth of the stone statue and attacked everyone.

Shen Hao reacted instantly and threw the stone statue to the ground.

Black fog filled the air. Enveloping the stone statue.

Then a strong suction force came, as if it wanted to suck everyone over.

Shen Hao immediately grabbed Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi, stepped back, and used all his magic power to resist the suction.

Under this suction, the two could only hold Shen Hao's hand tightly.

His heart was in turmoil. What on earth was this thing? Was it a man-eating demon? Was it specially placed here to deal with tomb robbers?

The boy seemed to see that he could not suck the three people over, so he turned to the five spirits.

The five spirits suspended on the Dharani Sutra Pillar were also slowly sucked to the boy statue under this suction.

The five spirits, without any resistance, were swallowed directly from the big mouth of the stone statue into the belly of the stone statue.

This process was extremely fast. The five spirits were sucked in directly without any resistance.

As the five spirits were sucked in, the suction force became stronger.

So Shen Hao exerted his strength and pulled the two behind him.

Then he took out the Seven Star Magic Sword from the ring with his spiritual consciousness.

He exerted his strength and focused, swinging out a brilliant sword energy, hitting the stone statue boy on the ground.

At the same time, he took out several soul-sealing talismans and soul-calming talismans, activated them, and threw them over.

Soon, the suction force disappeared.

He was suppressed by Shen Hao's talisman.

The black fog dissipated immediately, revealing a red meat ball, without limbs, lying on the ground motionless.

It was naked, with smooth skin, like a giant salamander.

A pair of small eyes on the top of the head, with fierce eyes, staring at the three people fiercely.

Shen Hao's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked over and picked up the meat ball.

Then, he pasted a few more talismans to suppress it, making it unable to move.

"Master Shen, what is this thing? It looks cute, but why is it so cruel? It almost ate us!" The fat man asked curiously.

Hu Bayi looked at the ball of meat and felt that he seemed to have seen it in that book, but he couldn't remember it clearly for the moment.

"This is a Taotie, a newly born juvenile Taotie!" Shen Hao said with a hint of joy on his face.

"I didn't expect that there was such a thing in the tomb of Empress Dowager Xiao. It really surprised me!"

"Taotie? Could it be the strange beast mentioned in the legend?" Hu Bayi asked.

"Yes, it is it." Shen Hao said.

"Legend has it that this monster has no body, only a big head and a big mouth, and is very greedy."

"It is born with a strange and powerful swallowing power, which is very powerful."

"However, the one we encountered is just a newly born juvenile, so we can catch it, which is also considered good luck!"

Shen Hao breathed a sigh of relief and was thankful.

I'm afraid that the great monk saw that this was a Taotie egg of a strange beast, so he sealed it in the Dharani Sutra Pillar.

But it was used by Empress Xiao to guard the mausoleum. If the tomb robbers broke the seal of the sutra pillar, they would be devoured by the Taotie.

But afterwards, the Taotie could not be controlled. The mausoleum was in danger of being lost, which was a situation where both sides suffered losses.

But if you want to keep it, it is not easy to keep it.
