Chapter 128 Who Goes Down the Underground Palace
After breakfast, Zhou Shui helped Luo Jing to calculate the geographical data seriously.Then Zhou Shui stopped in front of a small stone hill, closed his eyes and calculated for a while.After touching for about ten minutes, Zhou Shui turned his head and said to the victim: "It's almost there, everyone wait for me."

Everyone stop.Zhou Shui quickly ran back to the tent and took out a new set of clothes, both inside and out.Then he went down to the bottom of the valley, took a bath with clean stream water, put on new clothes and climbed to the top of the valley.

Everyone looked at Zhou Shui in puzzlement, but Zhou Shui didn't explain much.Just asked Xiao Lu softly: "Ruomu, have you brought incense?"

Incense is a must for tomb robbers, and this time is no exception.Xiao Lu took out a tube of Tibetan incense and handed it to Zhou Shui.A pinch of soil from Zhoushui is used as a furnace, and three pillars of incense are lit.When the cigarette was lit up, Zhou Shui knelt down on his knees, respectfully kowtowed three times, and silently wished in his heart: "Believe disciple Zhou Shui, I respectfully ask for my Buddha's peace. I am a disciple who converts to enlightenment and pursues all good deeds. Today I want to open the sacred religion. Zang, if this act is in accordance with the Dharma, I hope that the Buddha will show a supernatural power and point out the entrance to the underground palace for the disciple, so as to calm the disciple's fear. If this act is not in accordance with the Dharma, the disciple must sacrifice his life to protect the Dharma vein, and thank the disciple for the crime of stealing."

In Zhou Shui's mantra, he deliberately added the words asking relics to show supernatural powers, which was also out of two considerations.One is, if the three sticks of incense are not effective and fail to establish contact with the Dharma Guardian Shinto, Zhou Shui's reckless opening of the underground palace is tantamount to trespassing, which is disrespectful in terms of disciple etiquette.If the relic shows supernatural powers or supernatural powers, it means that the Buddha knew it and allowed it.The second is that there are supernatural manifestations, which can also settle the awe of other people. He is afraid that everyone will despise the Three Jewels. This karma is huge.In this regard, Zhou Shui was thinking of other people.

Zhou Shui was kowtowing, when Ruyu behind him exclaimed in surprise: "My God."

Zhou Shui raised his head subconsciously, and saw the three sticks of incense, smoke lingering in a spiral shape.On top of the incense burner, an Ashoka Pagoda was formed.The bottom of the tower is like a covered bowl, and the top is like a Zen stick.The tower is about two meters high.Under the sunlight, a faint shadow was like a hand resting on the heads of the crowd.What's even more remarkable is that the wisps of smoke were not disturbed by the breeze.

A stone in Zhou Shui's heart was completely let go. He looked back out of the corner of his eye and saw that everyone was still dumbfounded and stood stupidly.Zhou Shui hurriedly reminded: "Kneel down quickly, the higher you stand, the less you will benefit."

There is a saying here that believers kowtow when they meet Buddha, which is just one aspect of respecting Buddha and Bodhisattva.Another aspect is to better accept the blessings of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.For example, there is a method of teaching the Dharma called "empowerment", and the principle is the same as pouring water into a teacup with a kettle - there must be a gap between them.Moreover, the larger the drop, the faster the flow rate and the greater the flow rate.Therefore, the postures and positions of the master and the disciples must be different.This is not only a manifestation of status, but also out of the need for teaching the law.Think back to when Emperor Yongle received the empowerment from the Three Great Dharma Kings, and Emperor Qianlong received the empowerment from the Master Zhangjia. These two received the Dharma as emperors, and their seats were also lower than that of the master.

The people behind seemed to hesitate a little, and then they all knelt down with Zhou Shui.Zhou Shui led the crowd to kowtow three times and nine times. When he looked up again, he saw the smoke tower slowly spread out and gently fall to the ground.Then the smoke is slowly twisted together, forming a dark gray tobacco stick.The tobacco stick gradually changed again and was folded into a square, about the size of the Eight Immortals Table.

At this time, the smoke billowed, and the square persisted for a long time, as if a grid was drawn on the ground.

After the vegetative root is burned out, Zhou Shui marks the place where the smoke frame comes out.Directing the three donkey handles: "Just dig here, it's probably not deep, and the movements should be light."

After digging less than a foot, there was a stone.Expanding along the surrounding water marks, there is a square stone slab underneath, which is embedded in the ground tightly, leaving only a gap as thin as a gossamer with the surrounding stones.

Huo Ren shouted excitedly: "That's right, it's here."

Zhou Shui personally swept away the floating dirt on the stone slab.A bronze pull ring was exposed at the edge on the right side of the slab, and the ring was covered with a thick layer of dark green patina.

Zhao Ren became more and more excited, and said loudly: "This is it, this is it. It was the stone slab I laid flat back then, that's right."

Zhou Shui tried to pull the copper ring, but the copper ring did not move at all, as if it was integrated with the mountain.Disastrous man waved his hand and said, "Manpower is not enough. This stone slab weighs at least two tons. Back then, my old man used a tripod and pulleys to pour it up little by little."

There is no shortage of wood in the mountains, and pulleys and ropes are necessary tools for grave robbers.Everyone set up the frame with all their hands and feet, installed pulleys, tied ropes, and then turned the stone slabs up little by little.

The stone slab is more than a foot thick, and only one end can be turned upside down. The other end is sitting on the rock, and the raised end is pulled tightly with a rope.There is a ground well under the stone slab, but the well is not deep, about three meters long.On the wall of the well to the left are two stone doors, one is closed and the other is half opened.It should be that the disaster was too busy to go back then, and I didn't have time to close it.Looking inside through the stone gate, because of the angle, the depth of the inside is less than two meters, and only a section of the corridor can be seen due to the mist.

According to past experience, the area of ​​this kind of underground palace will not be too large.Famen Temple in the Tang Dynasty was a royal temple, and the entire underground palace was only about 30 square meters in size. This underground palace should not reach the scale of the underground palace of Famen Temple.

The door of the underground palace is half open, as long as you walk down, all the secrets will be revealed.At this time, everyone calmed down instead.Disastrous people dare not go down no matter what.The same is true for Xiao Lu, whose descendants are connected with cause and effect, and Xiao Lu may also suffer from "survival disasters".

Song Qian can't do it either. One is that he is old and his legs and feet may not be strong.The second is that people like him who have robbed tombs are mostly on the blacklist of Yan Wangye.Ordinary tombs are okay, but if you enter this kind of relic palace, Lord Yama is also afraid that they will steal the Buddha treasure, and maybe they will be caught by ghost messengers in the first place.

The three donkey handles are not good enough. If you go in to see the money, it will ruin the big event.At this moment, Young Master Bai kept pushing back, entering such a bottomless underground palace, Young Master Bai probably had to pee his pants.In that case, only Zhou Shui and Ruyu would be left.

Before coming here, he did not expect that he would not be able to find the entrance to the underground palace.He invited Zhou Shui to have only one purpose, and that was to go to the underground palace.Disastrous people think that Zhou Shui has at least two advantages.First, Zhou Shui is a faithful Buddhist, and going to the underground palace has the same meaning as ordinary people returning to their parents' home.Second, Zhou Shui has the ability to predict. In case of danger, there may be more ways to get out of trouble than ordinary people.This is considered from a legal perspective.Yangren are still human after all.
