The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 117: Temple Statue

"Why are you still standing there, come in quickly." Guo Nuan's voice came from the dark hall.

"Got it! Wait for me." The fat man took out a fire pocket from his arms to light up the faint starlight, and just stepped into the deep and dark temple hall, the small flame of the fire pocket in his hand was immediately submerged in darkness.

Seeing the area where the flames illuminated less than half a square meter, and the hall was abnormally cold, the fat man couldn't help shivering all over.

"Hey, where are you? Make a sound, Lao Guo? Sister Xi? Captain Aba?" The fat man's eyes were darkened, but now he opened his eyes as if he hadn't earned anything. He was completely blind. He screamed when he opened his throat.

"Hey, sure enough there is a lampstand in the hall." Guo Nuan said happily

The oil lamp stand in the corner was ignited with a half-foot-high scarlet flame that was glowing blue, and a corner of the hall was illuminated a lot.Immediately, everyone fumbled around the corners of the hall, and after a while, more than 1000 lampstands in the hall of more than [-] square meters were lit, and the hall was enveloped in orange light in an instant.

A typical stone building, the left and right sides of the hall are neatly lined with rows of white marble pillars, the pillars are covered with reliefs of religious saints and some exotic animal patterns, like black dragons, turtles, phoenixes, Basaltic snake tortoise, etc., and some mythical beasts of the Brahman religion in India.

Looking around the direction of the upper hall, I saw that facing the central axis of the front of the hall door, in the depths, in the center of the inner wall is a white marble carved throne, a middle-aged stone statue man wearing a crown and a yellow robe, sitting upright, The sculpted face has a majestic and steady expression, and its eyes are looking directly in front of the entrance of the hall with piercing eyes.Other than that, there is nothing else, the hall is very elegant and simple.

"Why is that sculpture an oriental face?"

After lighting up all the lampstands, the fat man joined the group and stayed in the center of the hall to look around, raising his doubts about the most conspicuous statue of the throne in the hall.

"Well, there are statues of oriental gods worshiped in ancient Roman-style temples... This is a bit too ridiculous..."

Guo Nuan was a little speechless. If there were Zeus, the king of the Greek gods, or the beautiful Athena sitting on the white marble pedestal, Guo Nuan would not be surprised. What kind of god is on this stone pedestal?Speechless, he couldn't help thinking to himself, it couldn't be Zhu Rong, the god of the South China Sea that the people of Leizhou often go to worship in seaside temples. Zhu Rong is a figure in Chinese mythology. Breathing white smoke, he looks like Zhang Fei's thick and thick man, but the Immortal Zhu Rong is definitely an oriental face.

"What are you doing fat man? Get off now. You treat this statue like that... It's too disrespectful. Anyway, we are also on the ground in other people's temples. Hey, what about you, Zhang Dabiao, the guy who is anti-customer... .Did you hear that, you are still pulling people's stone beards..."

Guo Nuan was amused by the fat man. With this fearless buddy, traveling all over the world these days would make him suffer a lot of crimes.Abbas was also secretly dumbfounded. This guy is too taboo. If he treats Allah Jehovah like this in the Arab world and makes such a fuss in the Temple of Allah, he will not be able to keep the extremely fanatical and loyal believers of Allah. Go to the woodpile and roast the suckling pig alive.

Regardless of his partner's surprise, the fat man was still unrestrained. After rolling up his sleeves, he climbed up to the seven or eight-meter-high marble square platform, and climbed up the throne of the stone statue. The fat man turned his head and looked at the crowd below and laughed He shouted: "Hey, it's okay, let me get closer to this great god to see."

"Huh? This beard is quite realistic." The fat man held up the torch and supported the handrail of the stone seat with one hand, leaned close to his head for a look, and then stretched out his hand to tug the goatee on the stone man's chin.

"Why are there a few holes in the place where the jewels are set on the crown?"

The fat man noticed the crown on the forehead of the stone statue, and carefully looked at a few fine knife scratches, and saw that the stone marks caused by those scratches were quite new, he frowned and turned to his partner below and shouted: "It's not good. , One step late, I'm afraid someone has been here recently, I saw a few knife scratches on the crown, probably someone pried away the gems on it, ouch, we lost a lot of money!"

This remark surprised everyone immediately, and then they discussed it in whispers.

"Guo Nuan, who do you think it could be?" Pei Pei looked calm, and she asked Guo Nuan casually.

"This...the old man who kidnapped Ah Fu came here?" Guo Nuan had little information to judge, and shook his head and continued: "Could it be that the same group who encountered the corpse found in the jungle did it?" ?”

Puhe and Abbas nearby felt that Guo Nuan's reasoning was logical. After all, there was only such an isolated island in the vast South China Sea, and there was no human population. Normally, merchant ships would not take a detour to get here. Birds on the island don't shit, and there is nothing to resupply when docked here. Apart from the corpse that was just discovered recently, there is really no other suspicious person.

"It's strange, the gem was pried away, but why no one wants to leave Yugui, who is clinging to this stone?"

The fat man looked at the stone man holding a jade shield in one hand and placed it on his knees. He saw that the thin rectangular shield was made of jade crystal clear, and its appearance was green. It looked really good.

"Ah, ah, ah—" The fat man casually inserted the thin bamboo tube of the fire zhezi into the stone man's ear hole, and freed one hand, one foot against the stone man's abdomen for strength, and his two hands grasped like carrots. The guard was pulled out with all his strength, his face was red with all his strength, his neck was thick, and the fat man was almost hanging upside down in mid-air. Everyone who watched was very nervous, for fear that he would fall down when he pulled out the guard. .

After flicking it dozens of times, the shield in the palm of the stone man did not move at all.

"Eh? It's so evil, that grandma's stone man just used his thumb and forefinger to gently hold Yugui and put it in his palm. Why can't I, Zhang Dabiao, be born with brute force?"

The fat man muttered to himself, it would be easy if it was hard, and the hard and brittle jade jade might be broken with a shovel.Fatty didn't give up, and after thinking for a while, he pulled out a slender belt from his waist and tied it to Yugui.

"Since we're here, we're going to take some loot back. It's really crazy that this jade is so stable in the stone man's hand. I don't believe that a dozen people can't get it out with all their strength!"

The fat man worked hard, pulling a slender belt more than ten meters long, and organized a tug-of-war competition under the dumbfounded eyes of everyone.

"Every team member is ready. I'll call one, two, three, and everyone will work hard together. My belt is made of silk and it's very strong. Just use your strength."

"One two three, pull! One two three, pull again..."

Fatty likes to be crazy, and everyone had no choice but to cooperate with the tug-of-war without spoiling his interest.

"Hey! It's a little loose, try harder! One, two, three, pull harder."

In the main hall, there was a tidy sound of chant, it was very lively.
