[Comprehensive martial arts] Holy Monk

Everyone cautiously and nervously walked along the dark corridor.

The whole body of this corridor is made of bluestone slabs. Due to the excavation at the bottom of the lake, the walls and floor tiles on all sides are full of moisture. When people walk in it and breathe, they can only feel that their noses are wet and stuffy, and they can even smell a faint smell of lake water. .

Fang Tianzhi walked at the end of the line, he only felt that the corridor was long and deep, sometimes it went downhill gently, reaching tens of feet deep, sometimes it twisted and turned, rushing from left to right, he didn't know where the end was.At this time, the water vapor in the secret path is getting thinner, presumably everyone has gone deep into the mountainside, far away from the great lake.Under the light of the candlelight, there are no fine wet marks on the hazy walls, and the stone bricks under the feet also appear dry blue-gray.Everyone meandered by, trampled on the dust on the blue bricks, and even left shallow footprints.

Suddenly the whole team stopped.

Fang Tianzhi was on guard in secret, but unexpectedly there was no commotion in front of him, the crowd gathered around a stone wall, crossed their heads and whispered.He walked around the bride and took a few steps closer to see that the stone wall was just an unremarkable section on the left side of the corridor. If there was anything special about it, it was just that the bluestone of the wall was a little newer, faintly It doesn't quite match up with other stone walls.The walls made of these new stone slabs are about six feet wide, which is the same as the width of the passage, rather like a blocked gate.

Chu Liuxiang seemed to have a tacit understanding with him, and said: "This stone wall looks a little strange, as if someone has blocked a passage specially to prevent people from passing through. If it is said to repair the damaged stone wall, then this stone wall is too damaged. some."

Lin Wangsun hesitated and said, "Should I smash a few stone bricks and see what's behind?"

Chu Liuxiang looked at the stone wall silently, and didn't answer for a while, as if she was lost in thought.

Zhou Hao then said, "Then smash a few pieces to see!"

Lin Wangsun saw him pulling out his long sword, as if he was about to start work, he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Master, don't rush to start, let's listen to everyone's opinions first. We have walked this way, and it is unbelievably stable. Maybe the danger will be over." It's on this stone wall. It's better to be careful."

Fang Tianzhi heard the words and said: "The poor monk also thinks it is a bit strange. But even if there are no traps in the secret place of treasures, there are usually many side roads and dead ends, making the whole layout like a maze. But since I opened the door at the bottom of the lake, I have followed this corridor to the present..." He was still incomplete, but Chu Liuxiang understood it.

Chu Liuxiang continued logically: "Originally, this coincides with our previous guess. This treasure may be specially designed for the inheritance of Bai Yujing. But now there is a new wall here, and why? If this There is really a fork in the road behind the wall, why is this road blocked?" He thought for a moment silently, "Could it be that..."

Zhou Hao saw that everyone fell into silence again, and his expression was quite disapproving: "So what should be done, there must be a regulation. Should we continue to go down, or simply push this wall to see the reality?"

Lin Wangsun looked around at everyone and asked, "Why don't we walk along this road first, and if we can't find the treasure, it's not too late to come back?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the panting bride in the corner suddenly supported the stone wall, slid down slowly against the wall, and said, "I... I'm exhausted. I'm shivering with cold, my hands and feet have no strength, and I can't even climb." I can't climb anymore..."

Lin Wangsun protected Shen Mian, glanced at her, and said, "We have to support her to continue walking." He looked away and saw that most of the people were indifferent, so he had no choice but to ask Chu Liuxiang, "This... trouble Brother Chu to help you." Her way?"

Chu Liuxiang came back to her senses and said, "It's easy to say."

Everyone had no objection, and continued to walk along the only corridor.It's just that on the road from now on, at intervals of tens or tens of feet, one or two green brick walls with a newer color can be seen on the left and right of the stone wall of the corridor. Dozens of them.And except for this strange thing, everyone didn't even see the shadow of the trap, and they didn't encounter any danger in the secret road in the mountainside.

After turning left, the corridor suddenly changed its direction again. By candlelight, one can see that the bluestone steps zigzag downward, winding deeper into the darkness.

Standing at the top of the steps, everyone felt that the long and silent journey seemed to have no end, and there were waves of indescribable depression and panic.

How long do we have to go?

This place is no longer Yuhu Mountain, and it has probably gone deep into the belly of Banfeng Mountain.In such a dangerous and secret place, if the secret passage suddenly collapsed, wouldn't everyone be buried alive?

No one spoke for a long time.But also no one flinched.

Even the pale bride did not dare to speak rashly.

In the tacit understanding and the silence that seemed to be full of ghosts, Zhang Su still stepped down the steps first.He walked like the wind, even walking too fast in the unknown fear brought by the darkness, as if this could dispel the restless atmosphere.

Amidst the sound of footsteps, one after another of dim candles swayed and swayed with the breeze of the people walking, and the slender figures flickered on the wall, following all the living people firmly.This originally extremely normal scene also seemed a little horrifying at this moment. Shen Mian lowered her head and stared at the tip of her shoe, not daring to look at the wall anymore.

But just after passing the corner where the stone steps turned down, Zhang Su suddenly let out a "huh".He was stunned for a moment, then woke up suddenly after a while, and shouted excitedly: "It's here! It's here!"

Everyone cheered up and rushed to his side in unison. The faint light from the candles rushed to one place in an instant, illuminating the road ahead further—under dozens of steps, a wide, straight and flat corridor suddenly opened. Come, pieces of mirror-smooth bronze bricks have replaced ordinary bluestones, and at the end of this copper-walled corridor, stands a huge door faintly hidden in the shadows!

Zhou Hao stared at the door that he couldn't see clearly, and murmured as if in a dream: "We really found it..."

Everyone walked down the steps slowly in disbelief, and saw exquisite reliefs engraved on each dusty copper brick, most of which were graceful peonies and crabapples in full bloom, and lifelike white cranes with outstretched wings and curved necks.What's even more jaw-dropping is that the flowers and auspicious animals on each relief are different, and each has a beautiful appearance, which is dizzying.On both sides of the green and reflective copper wall, there are sixteen pairs of kneeling bronze statues.

The bronze statue wears a net scarf on its head and a Taoist robe with a large breast. Each bowed its head in a respectful and docile attitude. The two copper arms with wide sleeves were raised high, holding a lotus seat with green petals stretched out. On the lampstand, there is a round white candle as thick as a tea bowl inserted on the lampstand. On the candle body, there is still a finely drawn gold-painted sika deer, which is looking back and raising its hooves among the white clouds in the mountain stream.

Chu Liuxiang let go of the bride and let her sit down and rest by herself, while she kept looking left and right, and walked together with Fang Tianzhi unknowingly.Fang Tianzhi was holding a candle and gazing at the dazzling carvings on the wall. Looking at it, he suddenly noticed the difference, and opened his mouth and said, "Look at this—"

The place where the candlelight stopped was the square brick three feet above the head of the first bronze statue.

The relief on it is different from others, it is actually a picture with characters and scenes.In the painting, a man with a vague face stands alone on the bow of the boat, sailing against the wind, and is pointing at a small jagged island in the surging sea.Chu Liuxiang looked back, but saw such a special painting carved on the blue bricks above each bronze statue, as if telling a story coherently, and the owner of the story was the man with a vague face.

Before the two of them had time to continue walking, Zhou Hao saw the candles held by the bronze statue, and couldn't help saying: "There are rows of candles here, why not light them up, and save us from having one in our hands all the time, which is inconvenient to do things. " He glanced back and saw Zhang Su standing blankly in the middle of the corridor looking at the door at the end, remembering being sneered at by him repeatedly, his heart suddenly surged with anger, and said in an indifferent way, "Brother Zhang, just watch over there." What's the point? Is the key on your body?"

The huge door at the end was faintly illuminated by the candle in Zhang Su's hand, but it showed a greasy white color that was completely different from the bronze wall bricks, as if a beautiful woman was creamy.Zhou Hao glanced at it and didn't pay attention to it, but the next moment he suddenly realized that there seemed to be two snow-skinned and flower-looking beauties in a bun facing gracefully on the door!

Zhou Hao suddenly turned around, but for some reason, he suddenly felt his muscles and bones soften. Before he stepped out on the copper brick, he fell to the ground limply like noodles in a pot, and he held the candle in his hand again. Unable to stop, the bones rolled down on the magnolia relief, and the candle wick oil instantly dried up between the two layers of petals.

Shen Mian let out an exclamation, as if her feet were limp from fright, she involuntarily clung to Lin Wangsun's chest and fell into his arms.

Seeing his brother's strange behavior, Zhou Qi couldn't help but be surprised: "Brother, what's wrong with you?" He was about to rush forward to take care of him, but suddenly he staggered, fell to the ground, and fell firmly beside Zhou Hao.

He slammed his face on the copper brick with a "boom", and his head was bloodied without warning. All kinds of tastes, sweet, bitter, hot, rushed into his eyes and nose, his mind was buzzing, and he almost forgot where he was. , and didn't even know that two big teeth had been broken.

He didn't have any strength in his body, but he hadn't reacted yet, trying to stand up indiscriminately.But as soon as the arm was on the ground, it bent down limply, curled up under the chest, and shouted with blood in his mouth: "Brother! I... I suddenly can't exert my strength!"

Zhou Hao was terrified in his heart, knowing that he might be poisoned, he hurriedly said weakly: "Hurry up and practice your kung fu, you are poisoned!" But he tried to transfer his internal energy, but he felt that his dantian was empty, and as soon as he thought about it, suddenly I was dizzy for a while, and the viscera and bones felt fine and terrifying, as if the blood on my body turned into Shanxi old vinegar in an instant!

At this time, there was a sudden change. Zhang Su, who was in a daze in front of the door, also woke up. He turned around in astonishment and said, "Poisoning? What poisoning?!" , trying to stabilize again but the two struggled, staggered a few steps, then fell to the ground with a plop, the candle in his hand flew upside down on his face, causing him to yell "Ah", he didn't know whether it was panic or pain, " What's going on! Why have I been poisoned! Am I also poisoned! "

Lin Wangsun coughed again.

His cough was intermittent, neither light nor heavy, hidden in the chaotic shouts of Zhang Su and the other three, it was hardly audible.While coughing, he turned a blind eye to the scene in front of him, and just let Shen Mian go.After she stood still, he turned his head to the east and cast a light glance at Fang Tianzhi and Chu Liuxiang.

In his eyes, the green-robed monk who came out of some wild temple had sat down cross-legged, his eyes were lightly closed, his head and neck were slightly drooping, as motionless as a bronze statue beside him.Beside the monk, his old friend Chu Liuxiang, whom he had known for more than ten years, was already slumped obediently on the copper brick floor.

The eyes of the two met in an instant.

Chu Liuxiang stared at him with a complicated expression, and said bitterly: "It seems... Brother Lin is probably lucky enough not to be poisoned."

Lin Wangsun also stared at him: "Brother Chu, this statement is wrong!"

The two brothers Zhou Hao and Zhou Qi managed to crawl together, only to realize that all eight people present had been poisoned and fell to the ground, only Lin Wangsun stood with Shen Mian, and couldn't help crying heartbreakingly: "Okay... so it is You are poisoning! You... you are a pair of wolf-hearted sluts!"

Shen Mian trembled all over, and lowered her head deeply as if feeling ashamed, tears kept falling.

And Lin Wangsun ignored them, covered his mouth and coughed twice.After coughing, he said in a harmonious voice to Chu Liuxiang: "Brother Chu, I don't know how much painstaking effort I have spent, and how long I have waited, to finally plan this ending." He sighed, as if he felt a little bit of self-pity, and said, "My father passed away. Since then, the pack of wolves has been watching, and the tigers have followed, and the only ones I can really rely on are two old servants who can't get on the stage... These years, how difficult it has been for me... Until today..."

Lin Wangsun was stunned for a while, then suddenly swung his palm towards the bronze statue behind him!

There was a loud bang, and the kneeling bronze statue couldn't bear the heavy blow. Its two arms broke in two, and it flew backwards twice and hit the copper wall.And he turned around abruptly, peeked at Chu Liuxiang like a slit in his crown, and asked in a soft voice——

"All of this, you say I was a fluke?"
