The villain heroine just wants to grab the country at the beginning

Chapter 18 Forgive Your Life
"Master, the person is in the Grand Hall. We searched before, and there is no one in the Great Hall. There should be some mechanism secret room."

Thirteen followed Xiao Yan's side and reported the situation here.

Xiao Yan seemed to have frost on his face, and walked towards the Daxiong Palace without saying a word.

Zhao Du followed behind and asked Shisan, "Are there any pilgrims in the monastery?"

Thirteenth Dao: "This monastery was very popular as early as 20 years ago. Later, the Great Buddha Temple rose up, and this monastery gradually withered. Now there are almost no pilgrims. There are a few lay Buddhists who live in the monastery, and they have all been controlled. .”

Zhao Du nodded, "It's okay if there are no pilgrims, so as not to make a fuss and give that bastard a chance to take hostages."

While speaking, a group of people walked out of the hanging flower corridor and arrived at the courtyard where the Daxiong Palace is located.

Mahavira Hall.

The tall Buddha statue looks down on all living beings with compassion.

Beside the altar in front of the Buddha statue, Lu Jia searched inch by inch for the possible location of the mechanism. The specially trained dog finally locked the target here, and kept pulling Lu Jia's dress to indicate to the altar.

Chun Bao rushed in from the outside with an anxious expression on his face.

"Miss, Xiao Yan, the dog official, has brought people from the Ministry of Punishment. He is about to come in. He has already passed the Chuihua Gate!"

So fast!
This dog officer's investigative ability is good!

Lu Jia did not answer Chun Bao's words in a sullen manner, and was still groping for the altar bit by bit.

Thanks to the lack of incense in this monastery, there was no one guarding the Daxiong Hall at all. Lu Jia and Chun Bao jumped over the wall from the backyard with their specially trained dogs in their arms.

After entering the main hall, the specially trained dog rushed straight to the altar, and kept grabbing Lu Jia's skirt with its mouth, pulling her towards the altar.

Lu Jiazai searched the altar table carefully, but found nothing, and searched the other places in the Daxiong Hall carefully, but also found no mechanism buttons.

But Gouzi was so impatient, it was obvious that he smelled something here.

That great monk must have been here.

There must be an institution here for the altar.

Footsteps were approaching outside.

"I'm afraid these bald donkeys are all part of the same gang. In the name of compassion, they are committing murder without blinking an eye, bah!"

Thirteen's cursing voice came clearly.

Chun Bao almost stopped breathing, and stood there holding her breath, thinking that if a fight really broke out for a while, she would have to protect her young lady and get out.

Lu Jia is still groping for the altar.

The hand fell on the sacrificial candle on the altar table. The sacrificial candle stood among the bronze ritual vessels, one on each side of the bronze ritual vessel, and the polished light was shining.

But the other tributes on the table were not so fresh.

Instead of exchanging fresh tributes, but polishing the ritual candles?

Lu Jia frowned and stared at the magic weapon. The sound of footsteps near her ear was getting closer and closer. She twisted the magic weapon vigorously. The magic weapon seemed to be fixed on the table and could not be turned at all.

Pull it out, but you can't pull it up.

Press it in, but can't go down.

Isn't this instrument for offering candles a mechanism?
"Master, there seems to be someone inside!" Shisan yelled in surprise, quickened his pace and rushed into the hall.

Chun Bao clenched his hands and made a defensive posture.

Lu Jia took a deep breath and fought to the death, is it going to start so soon?
Just as Lu Jia turned his head to meet Xiao Yan's questioning, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the Buddha statue above his head.

It is common for Buddha statues to sit in lotus position.

The insteps of the left and right feet of the Buddha are placed on the left and right legs, with the soles of the feet facing up, sitting on the lotus throne.

This sitting posture can be subdivided into two types, one is called auspicious sitting, and the other is called subduing demon sitting.

Sitting auspiciously, put your right foot on top of your left leg, and your right hand on top of your left hand, forming the seal of Dharma.

But Jiang Mo sits on the contrary.

Put your left leg on top of your right foot, and your left hand on top of your right hand, forming the mudra of Dharma.

This Buddha statue has its right foot on the paper of its left leg, and its left hand is on the top, while its right hand is on the bottom. The fingers should have been pinched into a Dharma seal, but his fingers are slightly tilted to the right, at an angle.
Lu Jia followed along and looked over.

Exactly pointing to the right.

The sound of footsteps outside was about to run up the steps.

Lu Jia stretched out his hand and pulled out the right candle offering instrument to the left, while pressing the left candle offering instrument downward to the right.

Click.

There was a hole under the altar instantly.

In an instant, Lu Jia grabbed Chun Bao and the dog and jumped off.

The mechanism on the top of the head is closed instantly.

"Hey, I just heard a voice inside, I really want to see a figure, where is it?"

Shisan stepped into the hall, but there was no one in the empty hall, he looked at Xiao Yan in a daze.

Xiao Yan's eyes fell on the altar.

There were fruits in the offerings on the table, half of which had rotted away.

Does it look like it's been carefully cared for?

The secret room was pitch black, and you couldn't see your fingers.

Based on perception, Lu Jia and Chun Bao could know that there was a section of stairs under their feet.

The two leaned on the wall and groped their way down.

There are not many steps, a total of thirteen steps.

After going down the steps, the ground after that was fairly flat. In order to avoid touching things that shouldn't be touched, Chun Bao kept the dog in his arms.

The two of them tried to keep their footsteps as light as possible without making a sound. The dog seemed to know that he was in danger and didn't make any movement, so that Chunbao had to sniff the dog's breath after taking two steps, wondering if he had smothered it to death .

Suddenly, a palm wind hit Lu Jia directly in front of him.

"careful!"

Lu Jia let out a low cry and raised his hand to fight back.

Unable to see anything in the dark environment, Lu Jia simply closed his eyes and judged the opponent's breath position, palm wind position, and movement position only by his ears.

The opponent's shot was fierce, and he should have a weapon similar to a short sword and dagger in his hand.

Piercing the air, with a bit of insidiousness.

"Back off, go up the steps!"

Lu Jia gave an order, and immediately touched his waist with his hand, pulled out a soft whip wrapped around his waist, and whipped hard towards the position where the breath was.

Snapped!
The whip was pulled out, and it made a sound, and it sounded like it had hit the position.

Chun Bao put the dog on the steps, stroked the dog's head, "Be good, don't move, sister will beat the bad guys for you!"

He took out a small slingshot from his bosom, bent down and took out a handful of small iron balls from his trouser leg.

She also closed her eyes, holding her breath.

Hearing the crackling sound of another whip, Chun Bao shot out the iron ball by feeling.

puff!
The iron ball hit the flesh, and the sound it made was completely different from that of a soft whip.

The master and the servant are one in front and the other in the back, one is whipping openly, and the other is making dirty tricks secretly.

But for a moment, the other party couldn't bear it anymore and let out a painful moan.

The sound was much easier to judge than the breath. Lu Jia almost rolled the whip in a flash, wrapped the opponent's neck directly, and strangled hard.

It's like fishing.

Although I couldn't see it, I knew it was tied up by the strength of the whip.

With a strong pull of his arm, to guard against the weapon in the opponent's hand, Lu Jia yanked the person to his side, tapped his toes to the ground, and jumped.

boom!
The person who was entangled and pulled by her slammed into the wall next to him.

It should have been bumped directly in the face, and the scream was extremely shrill.

Chun Bao jumped up and kicked him on the back of the vest, nailing him to the wall.

"Forgive, spare!"

It was the great monk's voice, vague and painful.
