The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 271 Golden Buddha
Seeing Zeng Lihong look like this, Lu Qian's expression changed and he immediately shouted:

"Stop answering—"

Zeng Lihong's mouth moved and then slowly closed.

As his mouth closed, the muscles in his face twitched less and less, and finally stopped completely.

In the end, his face completely returned to normal, leaving only some blood stains at the corners of his eyes.

It seems that Zeng Lihong must have been "witchcrafted" by someone, and he was prohibited from revealing any information about Guo Tuan.

Therefore, when Lu Qian just asked them how many people came to Guanghua Temple, Zeng Lihongcai only said that four people came from Wentian Prison, and said nothing about Guo Tuan.

However, he could not disobey the orders of Lu Qian's "little paper puppet".Therefore, when Lu Qian asked directly about "Guo Shoun", he could only answer directly, but it directly conflicted with the witchcraft he possessed.

Lu Qian had no doubt that if he didn't stop Zeng Lihong, he would eventually die.

However, although Lu Qian did not directly ask for information about Guo Tuan, he did not get nothing.

Zeng Lihong's reaction at least proved one point.

He knows Guo Tu.

Moreover, there is a high probability that this Guo Shoun is in the back hall at the moment, with the people from Wentian Prison!
This Guo Shoun actually got involved with Wentian Prison?

Lu Qian grabbed this clue, continued to think about it, and gradually understood it.

It seems that Wentian Prison must have some ulterior purpose and needs to sneak into the underground palace of Guanghua Temple.

However, as we all know, Wentianjian is from the imperial court.If they attack Guanghua Temple directly, it will be tantamount to provoking Buddhism, which will definitely cause a violent reaction from Buddhism, and even trigger a war between the imperial court and the sect.

The court obviously cannot afford this consequence now.

Therefore, they found an apparently unrelated person like "Guo Tu" to take action on their behalf.

In this way, even if the matter is exposed, they can all blame Guo Shoun and kill Wentianjian himself.

Very deep calculation.

However, in a temple like Guanghua Temple that is not too eye-catching, what is there that Wentianjian can take notice of?
The first thing Lu Qian thought of was naturally the inherited treasure "Ancient Leaf Dharma Plate" from Guanghua Temple.

However, the ancient leaf Dharma plate has been passed down in Guanghua Temple for so many years. Today, Elder Zhiren has just given the ancient leaf Dharma plate to Lu Qian, and the Wentian prison comes to visit?
This is too coincidental, isn't it?

Lu Qian didn't actually pay much attention to this ancient leaf dharma plate at first. When he thought about it, the treasure they inherited from a mere Guanghua Temple would probably not be anything too great.

But if even Wentianjian takes a fancy to this thing, then it would be a big deal.

Lu Qian looked at Zeng Lihong in front of him and wanted to use his mental power to enter his body to investigate. However, since the witchcraft had been planted in his body, the risk for him to do so was a bit high.

After a little hesitation, Lu Qian finally gave up.

He finally asked Zeng Lihong: "Where have all the monks from Guanghua Temple gone?"

Zeng Lihong opened his mouth, relaxed for a moment, and then said: "All the young monks of the 'Yuan' generation stayed and were controlled by them. Many of the other monks were thrown into the well; I don't care about the rest. Clear."

Lu Qian thought: "It seems that only the ghosts of drowned people can become Fang Xianggui. Does Guo Tuo want to use the monks of Guanghua Temple to 'manufacture' Fang Xianggui in batches?"
Could it be that this Guo Shoun is a frugal person by nature and refuses to let these monks go to waste? "

As for the fact that he only likes to use Fang Xianggui, it may be because Fang Xianggui has a special purpose for him, or it may be related to the ghost control technique he has cultivated.

Lu Qian didn't dwell too much on this issue and directly said to Zeng Lihong: "Take me to the back hall. The guards on the ground will listen to you, right?"

Zeng Lihong said: "No problem, they are all my soldiers."

After that, at Lu Qian's signal, Zeng Lihong took the lead and walked forward.

Lu Qian simply conveyed the situation here to the people behind him with his mental power, and then followed Zeng Lihong forward.

In addition to several main halls located on the central axis of this Guanghua Temple, there are actually many houses and roads on both sides, and there are small doors connecting the front and rear courtyards.

However, in Lu Qian's opinion, it was safest to take the central hall, especially now that the amulet Zeng Lihong was there.

Zeng Lihong led Lu Qian and others forward, and met a guard with a gun in his armor, and he dismissed them with just a few words.

The whole journey went smoothly until we reached the third hall and met Yuan Hui and others.

At this time, it no longer makes much sense for Yuan Hui and the others to go ahead.When Lu Qian thought of this, he called out to Yuan Hui.

Yuan Hui heard Lu Qian's voice and stopped immediately.However, seemingly out of caution, Yuan Hui still didn't dare to open her eyes and kept them closed.

Lu Qian came to Yuan Hui, looked at him a few times, and then said again: "Master Yuan Hui."

Yuan Hui then opened her eyes and looked at Lu Qian.

He saw Zeng Lihong's three armor-clad sergeants standing behind Lu Qian, with a look of confusion on their faces, and blinked at Lu Qian.

Lu Qian smiled when he saw this and said, "Master Yuanhui, don't worry, I have already subdued them."

When Yuan Hui heard this, a smile appeared on her face, showing an expression of joy.

The little benefactor in front of him, who was younger than him, seemed to be quite capable. He might actually be able to save their Guanghua Temple.

Lu Qian looked at the smile on Yuan Hui's face, smiled slightly, and said, "Master Yuan Hui, I will try my best to save you from Guanghua Temple. But, I'm sorry."

Yuan Hui still said with a smile: "Donor, please don't say that. You have nothing to be sorry for, but you are sorry for this temple..."

Just when he was halfway through speaking, Lu Qian suddenly stretched out his hand and strangled his neck.

With a "click", Yuan Hui's neck was broken.

Lu Qian let go of his hand, and Yuan Hui fell to the ground with a "plop".

He still had a smile on his face, but he was dead.

Lu Qian sighed softly at Yuan Hui's body and said again, "I'm sorry."

After speaking, he looked back at Zeng Lihong's two men and ordered: "You two, throw his body into the well."

After hearing Lu Qian's instructions, the two men immediately stepped forward, lifted up Yuan Hui's body, and walked out of the hall.

When Lu Qian looked back, he saw three towering Buddha statues sitting side by side.

The three ancient golden Buddhas had kind faces; all six eyes looked at Lu Qian.

In the darkness, standing in front of three tall Buddha statues, they are not as tall as the bases they sit on, and it feels very oppressive to look up.

"Walk."

After leaving the main hall, passing through a small courtyard, after going out, there is a "one" corridor outside.

Go left, leading to the apse on the left.

Go right, leading to the apse on the right.

Lu Qian thought for a moment and walked to the left.

Not long after walking, an inconspicuous wooden door appeared on the right. Two sergeants carrying swords stood on both sides of the door.

Wentian Prison obviously didn't pay much attention to this apse, and only sent two people to guard it.

The faint moonlight shines into this dark alley, which is still a little dim.

The two sergeants guarding the door immediately became alert when they saw someone coming.However, they soon saw clearly that the person walking at the front was Zeng Lihong.

"Head."

The two guards did not dare to leave their posts without permission. They only waited for Zeng Lihong to approach before saying hello to him.At the same time, he looked at the man and woman standing behind him.

Obviously, they felt a little strange that Zeng Lihong had brought such two people.

Zeng Lihong said: "These two adults from Wentian Prison have just arrived."

After hearing this, the two guards did not doubt that he was there, and immediately saluted Lu Qian and Wang Zirong solemnly.

Zeng Lihong said: "Open the door, we want to go in."

"Yes."

One of the guards pushed the wooden door open and returned to its original position.

Zeng Lihong was the first to enter the courtyard.

Lu Qian and Wang Zirong followed, and Zuo Qiuling, Jing Yanxiu, and Qin Yingying followed closely behind them and entered the courtyard together.

A quaint little courtyard, not too big, with two rows of tile-roofed houses on the left and right, and a tall square building in front.

In the room, all lights were dark.

After they all entered, the guards outside closed the courtyard door again.

Zeng Lihong did not stop, continued to move forward, and opened the door of the three-story building.

The dark room was empty, not even a chair or table.

There was a thick carpet on the ground, with neat futons placed on it.

Walking slowly inside, I saw small compartments over three feet high and slightly wider than one foot on the wall of the main hall.

In these small compartments, there are golden Buddha statues.

These golden Buddha statues sit on the lotus altar, holding various magical instruments in their hands. They are carved with lifelike features and extraordinary craftsmanship.

Under the lotus altar, there is also a slightly larger square box.

These square boxes have the largest base, followed by the top, and the smallest box body, which is concave inward.

The body of the box is carved with exquisite patterns and inlaid with various gems and jade beads.

These exquisite gold boxes should contain the relics of past Buddhas in Guanghua Temple.

It turns out that this is where the relics are enshrined.

Wang Zirong took out a fire stick and lit it. He held the flame up and looked at it, with a look of surprise on his face.

She looked back at Lu Qian and said with shock: "These... are all made of real gold."

Lu Qian said: "What, you still want to go along?"

After Wang Zirong heard this, she immediately frowned, with a look of struggle on her face.

She seemed moved.

Lu Qian ignored her and walked towards the row of futons in the front.

There were nine futons in this row. Lu Qian went directly to the futon in the center.

Lu Qian lowered his head and looked at the futon and found that it was entirely cast on the ground and integrated with the ground.

This is the same as depicted in Elder Zhiren’s structural diagram.

Lu Qian saw this, took two steps back, and then said to Zeng Lihong: "You stand in front."

When Zeng Lihong heard this, he immediately stepped forward obediently and stood in front of the futon that Lu Qian had just looked at.

Lu Qian continued to order: "Turn to the left eighteen times in a row."

Zeng Lihong immediately squatted down, hugged the futon with both arms, and finally turned the futon with great force.

The futon was extremely heavy at first, and became lighter the further it was turned. When it turned to the No. 18 turn, there was only a "click" sound, and the futon was locked again and could not turn.

Lu Qian ordered again: "Use all your strength and press down as hard as you can."

Zeng Lihong immediately followed his words, pressed his whole body onto the futon, and pressed it down with all his strength.

Then, the futon actually moved and was pressed down little by little.

As Zeng Lihong pressed the futon down, a "zaza" sound came from under his feet.

There was a "zaza" sound for a while, and a piece of floor in front of the futon suddenly began to move to the side, revealing a dark hole.

When the futon was completely pressed down and its upper end was flush with the ground, the sound of "zapping" under the feet finally stopped.

In front of the futon, a square hole nearly four feet wide was revealed on the ground.

Looking from a distance, the cave is pitch black.

This is the entrance to the underground palace.

Seeing this, Lu Qian couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If Elder Zhiren had not described the method of opening the underground palace in detail to him, it would be difficult for him to find it out by himself.

He just tried it, using his mental power to explore downward through the floor, but he encountered extremely strong resistance, making it as difficult to move through a quagmire, and what he saw was so chaotic that it was completely impossible to use his mental power to detect what was underneath.

The entrance to the cave had been opened, but Lu Qian was still standing there, motionless.At the same time, his mental power had covered the entire building, and he was carefully observing sudden movements.

After waiting for about an incense stick, there was silence everywhere, but nothing happened.

Lu Qian saw this and whispered to himself: "It seems that I am too worried..."

As he spoke, Lu Qian raised his head and said to Zeng Lihong, "Come in."

Zeng Lihong did not hesitate and immediately walked towards the entrance of the cave in front.

When he just walked to the entrance of the cave and was about to step in——

Sudden--

A golden figure suddenly rose from the dark hole.

It was a human figure with a bald head, ears hanging down from the shoulders, left lapel, right chest and right arm exposed.

It turned out to be a living Buddha!

I saw him open his hands and hit Zeng Lihong's sun points with a pair of palms as big as a cattail leaf fan.

The speed of his attack was so fast that Zeng Lihong was completely unable to react and was hit by a palm.

Zeng Lihong's body swayed, he opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground dead.
