Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 124 Shocking
The next moment, the ground below the statue of the Dharma Protector suddenly sank with two stomps, revealing an exit half embedded in the ground.Jiang Tian couldn't help being stunned for a moment, unexpectedly, this King Kong girl is still a very clever counterweight mechanism.

He greeted the outside world, and several Jin Wu disciples came running over immediately.So Jiang Tian asked other people to guard the surrounding area; he asked a few armored soldiers with the most comprehensive protection to go down first to explore the way.

After a while, there were sporadic impacts, chasing and smashing, overturning sounds, and faint screams and screams; the next moment, a bald man with a bruised nose and a swollen robe was pushed out, but The second, the third...the fifth.

It's just that these bald heads with bruised noses and swollen faces still have obvious smells of powder, wine and meat, and some have bare legs, or only wear a crumpled drape.Jiang Tian couldn't help being stunned, and then sneered again, did he find something strange.

Afterwards, he went down to this underground secret room; he saw that there was a rather spacious basement hall inside, surrounded by several compartments divided by screens, wooden walls and curtains.Utensils and utensils for daily life in a mess, and some women's clothes scattered among them;
However, several Jinwu armored soldiers who were searching around in it turned around and saluted with fists when they saw this:

"I have seen the verdict."

"This place should be a secret cave for these thieves who don't abide by the rules and violate the precepts in private."

"Well, go ahead and see what else you find."

Jiang Tian waved his hand with a motionless expression and said: "Mission progress 29.7%" in his field of vision is still flashing; but compared to those found in the underground ghost city, a group of fake monks gathered in a secret room for self-entertainment, really Not a discovery worth noting.

The next moment, he came to the innermost wall, in front of an ink portrait of Vimalakirti (Mahayana layman); however, Vimalakirti in the painting has a high forehead, deep eyes, calm and wise; Already, the environment of pink home life atmosphere; obviously some are out of place.

Therefore, Jiang Tian took it off without hesitation, and immediately revealed the faint outlines and friction marks on the brick wall hidden behind.He once again called out to the Jinwu armored soldiers who had finished searching and were waiting for orders: "Come here and push to see."

I saw two armored soldiers pushing backwards along the trace; the wall surface was immediately sunken, revealing a shallow gap, and then a deep secret passage was opened amidst the dust.Jiang Tian couldn't help sighing when he saw this, he really got involved with secret passages and secret rooms today.

Along this brick-built secret passage, after about 160 seven steps, you will come to a brick wall at the end.Just looking at the brick walls and corridors, with completely different new colors; Jiang Tian turned to Jinwu Jiabing who was groping the edge of the wall, trying to find the mechanism:
"Can you manage to break it open?"

"it should be OK."

The Jinwu armored soldier who took the lead tapped the wall with his hand armor and replied: Immediately after he greeted several Jinwu armored soldiers, they took out small melon-like double hammers, iron maces, and hammer axes from their backs. Facing the joint of the brick surface, debris splashed and smashed in turn.

After a while, the new and thin brick wall had several obvious cracks; then, along with the corner that lost its support, most of it collapsed inward.Behind the remaining broken wall, the penetrating wind lamp re-illuminated a wooden door with light gray dust.

However, just as everyone stepped over the broken wall, suddenly there was a cursed voice from behind the wooden door:
"What a dog slave, I told you not to look for them these days."

"It's the most critical moment in the temple right now, do you want to come to seek death?"

The next moment, the Jinwu armored soldier at the head suddenly slammed sideways, like a small battering ram, smashing the wooden door to pieces; also knocked the person standing behind the door to the ground , and Xue Linlin pierced with many wooden thorns, hissing and screaming;
Following the screams of the fallen people, several bald men holding iron rods and knives rushed out of the room again.The moment they met the Jinwu armored soldiers, the approaching and buzzing hand crossbows pierced through their bodies one after another, and splashed blood sprays with screams.

Afterwards, the Jinwu armored soldiers swarmed in without hesitation and suppressed the wounded who fell to the ground, and continued to use iron maces to overturn the random knives and kill the survivors who were trying to resist; they rushed straight along the open door. The entrance turned into a scene of screaming, fighting and howling.

After a short while, Jiang Tian was able to cross several adjacent inner rooms and the corridors running through the period; those bald heads lying on the ground in a pool of blood; finally arrived in front of a wide door with twists and turns; And the sound of magic instruments and chanting in unison is coming out of the portal.

There is also the smoke of burning spices, which diffuses out little by little from the gaps in the air carved with gods and demons and flying apsaras.Then, as Jiang Tian poked open a gap with the tip of his sword, he saw a lively ritual scene, but the situation and atmosphere were a bit weird.

Because, under the accompaniment of the sound of knocking chimes and drums and cloud boards inside.There are more than a dozen strong monks, holding ruyi, golden flowers, rosary beads, bodhi branches, treasure wheels, double-headed bahts and various magic tools, walking and dancing around the holy statue covered with light gauze on a pillar niche in the middle. chanting endlessly.

However, with the appearance of their solemn treasures, as well as their very pious expressions and chanting voices, there is a stark contrast and contrast.Except for a pair of masks painted with anger, compassion, dignity, smile, etc., and the various aspects of the Bodhisattva, these monks have nothing else on their bodies.

Therefore, with their various drumming, singing and dancing movements; various ugly gestures rippling in the air; it is almost blinding on the spot.Then Jiang Tian, ​​who turned to him, only met, as some kind of background for these naked monk pujas.

Among those murals depicting the great joy of Tule, Eros, and Great Bliss, as well as the reliefs and statues in the shape of joy; all kinds of people are so ecstatic; The smell of fresh blood that came could not affect them in the slightest.

Suddenly, the monks said "moo" and "fa" in unison, and the accompaniment of the advocacy of the instruments suddenly stopped.The leader was holding a golden and silver demon-subduing pestle, and the monk wearing the mask of the Great Black God suddenly took off his mask, revealing an old and handsome face.

Then, I saw this old monk with a face like chicken skin but a healthy body, without a trace of fat or looseness; I walked up to the pillar niche.I saw him put on a new Vairocana crown shaped like a lotus platform and exquisitely painted with Dharma images, and holding the magic subduing pestle that was only as thick as a forearm, and piously and solemnly pushed aside the veil.

The next moment, Jiang Tian was able to see clearly that in the pillar niche, there was an elephant-nosed Dharma protector who was enshrined in a jade-colored body, wearing a crown and wearing flowers. Statue of Prince Yeka (Ganesha, Ganesha).

And in front of this huge statue of Vinayaka, there is a bodhisattva-like concubine with colored gauze in a bun and armbands sitting cross-legged with her knees supported; she is the size of a real person, so she looks like her figure Graceful and graceful, the texture is crystal clear like snow; it has a profane impulse.

Wait, look like a real person?The next moment, Jiang Tian suddenly recalled it, and looked carefully at the portrait of the concubine Ming.I saw the old monk with a compassionate and dignified face in his hand holding the Demon Subduing Pestle approaching slowly; the immobile portrait of the Ming concubine suddenly shed crystal clear tears.

There was a sudden bang in Jiang Tian's mind, as if something had exploded; the three views cultivated from the socialist red flag, as well as his understanding of the black history of Tibetan Buddhism before liberation, made him understand all of a sudden. , What is this thing.

"Do it, one will not spare."

Jiang Tian gritted his teeth and faced the next moment when the Jinwu Jiabing gave an order behind him; he pressed the entire carved and painted gate with his hand, and it burst open from the outside to the inside.In an instant, the splinters splashed head-on, hitting the naked monk closest to him; bloody and groaning, he fell to the ground.

And in the smoke from the fire ignited by the lamps and curtains that were overturned and knocked down, Jiang Tian had already appeared in front of the statue of Vinayaka.The purple electric stabbing sword in his hand pointed at the old monk in hardcover; and the old monk who was no longer solemn, also suddenly changed his color and roared, "Dragon Elephant Banruo."

All of a sudden, his incomparably lean figure suddenly swelled up; unintentionally, he stepped on a deep crack with his footprints on the thick and thick altar that was enshrined.The next moment, he suddenly backhanded the Subduing Demon Pestle, piercing his body like the wind into the pillar niche.

However, he himself flew back suddenly amidst the unbearable cracking sound of the divine case; he also knocked two Jinwu armored soldiers who were blocking the way head-on and knocked them to the ground; even the breastplate was dented go down.Seeing that he was about to rush out of the door and disappear into the heretics.

However, Jiang Tian, ​​who was faster than him but deliberately came after him, only jumped a few steps and flew to catch up; instead of disappearing into another corridor going away; When he led people to catch up, what he saw was blood dripping from the corridor.

Then, it turned into bloodstains sprayed on the four walls; finally, at a corner, I saw a large puddle of freshly flowing blood.At the corner, the old monk who had regained his leanness was struggling on the ground with a bloody lower body; tendons in his hands and feet were severed.

At this time, Jiang Tian, ​​who didn't get a little blood on his body, also smiled apologetically at them and said:
"I'm really sorry, I couldn't keep my hand, but if it's not dead like this, hurry up and drag it back for treatment, maybe you can get some confessions."

"Yes!"

The next moment, whether it was Lin Jiulang and the others, or those Jinwu armored soldiers, they all involuntarily took a step back, and solemnly said:

Therefore, when Jiang Tian, ​​who had increased the task progress by at least three percentage points, walked out of another exit from this filthy underground place with the only gain on the surface, he found himself in a place called Ruolin. In the apse of the temple.
