At the end of the Sui Dynasty

It was late at night, and there was another crescent moon like a hook, but it seemed brighter than last night.Gao Bufan pushed open the door of the meditation room and jumped out, jumped onto the wall, quietly left Lingyun Temple, spread his body and went straight to the pier where the boat was moored when he climbed the mountain that day.

Soon, Gao Bufan came to the pier, under the dim moonlight, he saw that the bow boat was still moored on the pier, undulating slightly with the river water.Gao Bufan jumped onto the boat lightly, and he found a large bundle of hemp rope piled up on the boat, estimated to be nearly [-] meters long.

Gao Bufan couldn't help but be overjoyed, Gao Dahe and Zhong Laoliu are quite reliable in their work, and they can get this long hemp rope in one day, which should be enough!
Gao Bufan picked up the bundle of hemp rope and jumped onto the pier, stretched his body and ran towards Tingtao Cliff.Originally, Gao Bufan planned to row the boat directly down the river and reach the bottom of Tingtao Cliff, but considering that the water at that location was too fast, the boat couldn't stop at all, and there was no place to hold his hand, so Gao Bufan In the end, I changed my mind and decided that it would be safer to climb down from the top of the cliff.

Let's talk about Gao Bufan running to Tingtao Cliff quickly like a leopard, only to see a slim figure in white standing on the edge of the cliff again, the scene is almost exactly the same as yesterday.

Gao Bufan hesitated for a while, and finally came out from the dark, and walked straight to Bai Yunshang, who turned around and looked at Gao Bufan who was carrying a large bundle of hemp rope with a smile, as if he was not surprised at all. .

"What a coincidence, Miss Bai is waiting here specifically to meet the king?" Gao Bufan teased, but his expression showed a trace of helplessness.

Seeing Gao Bufan's deflated look, Bai Yunshang felt a little funny for no reason, a slight smile curled up on his lips, and asked back: "This place is not the territory of Qi State, so could it be that if King Qi can come, Yunshang can't?"

"Yes, of course, but can you choose not to come tonight?" Gao Bufan smiled wryly.

"Why?" Bai Yunshang stared at Gao Bufan intently, that beautiful moon-like face seemed to be coated with a layer of enamel, under the light of the moonlight, it was shockingly beautiful.

Gao Bufan's mind became hot, and he blurted out: "Because this king is here to hunt for treasure tonight, not to steal incense and jade."

Bai Yunshang's face was slightly hot, and he clasped his palms together and said: "Amituofo, it's a sin, King Qi, please don't think wildly, let alone talk nonsense."

"Okay, please step aside, Miss Bai." Gao Bufan threw the large bundle of hemp rope on his back on the ground, picked up one end of the rope and walked straight to Bai Yunshang, who subconsciously dodged aside.

Gao Bufan skillfully tied the rope to the protruding rock behind Bai Yunshang.Bai Yunshang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and frowned, "Does King Qi really think there is a treasure under the cliff?"

Gao Bufan took out eight small wooden fishes from his bosom, and said with a smile: "If the monk is not lying, I think there should be some."

A gleam flashed in Bai Yunshang's eyes and said: "It turns out that King Qi has really collected all of them. Hey, how come there are eight pieces?"

Gao Bufan couldn't help being moved, it seems that Bai Niuer didn't know that there were eight wooden fishes, it's weird, then who made these things?Now it is only about 40 years since Emperor Wu of Zhou exterminated Buddha, which is not too short, but it is not too long either. Did all the monks who participated in the treasure hunting die?

"Can King Qi let Yunshang take a look?" Bai Yunshang said lightly.

"Of course." Gao Bufan threw the eight wooden fish to Bai Yunshang, who took it and carefully screened it for a moment, then said in surprise: "It is indeed true. It turned out that it was not six, but eight. It seems that they are all the same. The king has cracked the secret above."

Gao Bufan nodded and said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have found it here."

"Amituofo, it seems that King Qi is indeed destined to be Buddha." Bai Yunshang said with a smile.

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "This king and Miss Bai are also related." While speaking, he threw the bundle of hemp rope down the cliff.

Bai Yunshang glared at Gao Bufan angrily. At this time, she was like a cute and amiable sister next door, beautiful and real.Bai Yunshang casually threw the eight wooden fish back to Gao Bufan, probably on purpose, throwing them very scatteredly.

With quick hands and eyes, Gao Bufan caught the eight wooden fishes one by one, and put them back into his arms, then grabbed the hemp rope and climbed down, while laughing: "The so-called secret treasure of Buddhism may be at the bottom of the cliff, do you want Miss Bai to go down together?" Take a look." As soon as he let go of his hand, the whole person fell down with a whoosh and disappeared instantly.

Bai Yunshang moved lightly with lotus steps, grabbed the rope, and floated down like a white cloud, her posture was naturally much prettier than someone else's.

At the bottom of the cliff, the rope is about 30 meters long. I don’t know if it will be enough. Of course, Gao Bufan can also enter the water directly without a rope, but the current here is too fast. If there is no rope to borrow power, the consumption will increase greatly. , so it is better to use a rope to be safer.

rumbling...

Gao Bufan and Bai Yunshang were hanging a few meters above the river, and the rushing water under their feet hit the cliff directly, making thunderous noises, which was very scary.

Although Bai Yunshang knew that Gao Bufan's water quality was against the sky, but seeing such a dangerous water situation, he was still a little worried, and frowned, "You really want to go into the water to investigate?"

Gao Bufan didn't dare to be careless at this time, he nodded solemnly and said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch a tiger's cub, please ask Miss Bai to lend a hand if necessary."

This guy was suddenly so serious, Bai Yunshang became even more worried, nodded and said: "Be careful yourself, don't force it."

Gao Bufan tied the hemp rope into a loop, tied it with a slipknot, and put it under his armpits, then took a deep breath and dived into the water.As soon as he entered the water, Gao Bufan immediately felt an overwhelming force slapping him, pressing himself firmly against the mountain wall.

Fortunately, Gao Bufan has been playing with water since he was three years old, and he knows the nature of water like the palm of his hand. He twisted his waist and swam against the turbulent river current. Dive down little by little.

Bai Yunshang watched Gao Bufan disappear into the surging river, even though she had a firm mind of Zen, she couldn't help but sweat at this moment, holding on to the hemp rope tightly to prevent unexpected accidents.

Let's talk about Gao Bufan diving deeper and deeper, while resisting the torrent, he groped down the cliff, looking for the hole that formed the vortex.When Gao Bufan dived to a depth of fourteen to five meters, he found a recessed hole on the cliff, but the hole was not big, about the size of a football, and he couldn't get in at all.

Gao Bufan probed into the entrance of the cave, but he couldn't find it to the bottom, and he didn't know how deep it was, and whether it led to other places.

Gao Bufan lingered beside the entrance of the cave for a while, but he did not feel the water flowing into the entrance of the cave, which means that the cave is not connected to other places, but has an end, so the water will not flow, but in this way, how did the vortex form last night ?Are there other caves nearby?

Gao Bufan was contemplating, when suddenly a huge suction force sucked him over and hit the mountain wall fiercely, causing him to groan in pain.

"No, this hole is open!"

Gao Bufan's complexion changed drastically, and he used his hands and feet together, trying to break free from the suction of the cave entrance, but at this moment, the water was pouring into the cave entrance, forming an extremely powerful suction force, which sucked Gao Bufan firmly. Unable to break free.

At this time, Bai Yunshang on the water surface suddenly saw a huge vortex appearing on the water surface, just like what he saw last night, but the sound of the "dragon chant" from the vortex seemed to become much deeper, not as loud as last night. The pitch is scary.

But Bai Yunshang was still inexplicably worried, with such a big eddy on the water surface, Gao Bufan wouldn't be in danger below, right?

Time passed by every minute and every second, the vortex on the water surface did not disappear, and Bai Yunshang became more and more anxious. Suddenly, the hemp rope tightened suddenly, almost dragging Bai Yunshang into the water.

At this time, the hemp rope was getting tighter and tighter, and it was tightly attached to the mountain wall. Obviously, the length was exhausted. Bai Yunshang didn't dare to neglect, and quickly grabbed the hemp rope and tried to pull Gao Bufan up, but the hemp rope failed All of a sudden, there was no force left.

Bai Yunshang was shocked, as long as she thought the rope was broken, she hurriedly pulled all the hemp rope up, and found that the knot on the end of the hemp rope was still there, not broken.

For a moment, Bai Yunshang couldn't help but wonder. The hemp rope was put on Gao Bufan's body, but now that the rope is not broken, it means that Gao Bufan took it off by himself. Of course, accidents cannot be ruled out.
