Chapter 642 The Golden Body
The deliberately covered second half aroused our interest, and everyone couldn't help staring at the smeared area, trying to see if it could be restored, but unfortunately it didn't work.At this moment, Tofu covered his eyes and said, "So shy." If you ignore the gap between the two spread fingers, I guess he is really shy.

Everyone fiddled with it for a while, but in desperation, they had to give up.

In addition to the murals and Buddha statues, there is also a rotten table on the side, which has become a pile of rotten wood, with several black bowls lying on one side.I walked over to have a look, and found that it was a large gilt lotus bowl with a high bottom, which should be used for offerings. The material was like silver, so it was already black and ugly.

After searching around, we found no place to hide anything except the painted mural. We decided to continue searching, and followed the rope to the next floor.

The height of this floor is nearly seven meters, and I guess it is not far from the first floor.

In the third floor, many large clay sculptures of Bodhisattvas are enshrined. The shapes are relatively old, and the colors on the clay sculptures have all disappeared. Due to the decay of the confession, the clay sculptures that are as tall as a person are all scattered on the ground. For a while, I couldn't tell which gods and Buddhas these were.

Everyone searched in the pagoda with not much open space, and the top and bottom are similar, but this time, there are no murals on the surrounding stone walls, but many ancient characters are engraved.After a long period of development, Tibetan characters have undergone several major changes in history. It is estimated that Tibetans will not know such an ancient character even when they come here.Obviously, lazy people can understand, he glanced at it hastily, and suddenly, he made a movement that surprised us.

The lazy guy started to kneel down, and his lazy look disappeared, and he became extremely devout and researching, and made a grand salute.Tofu asked me curiously: "What is he doing? Kneeling? Why is he lying on the ground with his whole body?"

The big yellow duck also showed a strange look on its face, and muttered, "What are you doing?"

After a while, the lazy guy stood up from the ground and said: "The scriptures are engraved on it, very important Buddhist scriptures. After a pause, he said to me: "Lend me your machine. "Because I suggested at the time that it was better to do some disguise, pretending to be a tourist or something, the rest of the people didn't take it to heart, only Tofu and I brought a camera, and now the lazy guy obviously wants to record the surrounding scriptures .

It was rare for this kid to ask for help, and it was rare for me to bother. I took out the camera from the equipment bag and gave it to him. I saw him turn on the flash and start taking pictures one by one.During this period of time, the rest of us searched the surroundings and found nothing, so we sat on the open space to rest, only the sound of lazy people taking pictures in our ears.

After a while, the lazy guy was almost done. He took off the memory card of the camera, put it in his bag, and threw the camera back to me, acting as if it was a matter of course. You're really impolite, so he said, "It's fine if I don't ask you to charge the rental fee. Why did you still give me the card? How can I use it after this?"

The lazy guy didn't feel any guilt at all, and said lightly: "Go back and pay you one, pick whatever you want." I rolled my eyes, I was really too lazy to argue with this person, but at this moment, the lazy guy said: "It's recorded above, this It’s a nine-fold pagoda with a very high specification, and we’re on the second floor now.” He pointed to his feet and said, “So, the golden body should be right below.” These words lifted everyone’s spirits for a moment, They all got up from the ground, ready to go to the first floor quickly.

The stairs on the first floor were not completely decayed, and there was still a faint frame, but they couldn't walk.The big yellow duck simply mended it, and directly collapsed the fragile frame. Suddenly, a burst of dust was stirred up, and we choked and coughed.

After a while, when the fly ash sank, we descended to the ground along the rope, walked out on those rotten logs, turned a corner, and the environment on the first floor was exposed in our sight.

I saw that the space on this floor seemed larger, and there were still prayer flags hanging above the head, but they were already rotten, forming strips of black cloth.

The place facing the door is a stone altar. Due to material reasons, the altar has maintained its original appearance. The front is a row of offerings, a large bowl with a high-bottomed gilt lotus, and a high-legged hidden lamp. , incense burner, and behind these things, there is a piece of rotten black cloth.

I believe this piece of cloth was definitely not like this at the beginning, it was probably used to cover the golden body enshrined behind, but after the precipitation of time, it can only be described as rotten cloth now, the legendary hero Bawo in Wadan, It should be right behind this.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Mr. Hu took the lead, using the gun in his hand, to pick up the piece of hanging rotten cloth, who would have thought that the rotten cloth fell directly, and fell on the altar, covering the altar. There was a row of offerings, and a large amount of dust was splashed.

Everyone was squinted by Chen Hui, and couldn't help but quickly backed away, feeling as if their eyes had been caught in the sand, and they couldn't open their eyes from tears.The old folk method is that if you are fascinated by something, you have to spit a few mouthfuls of saliva quickly, and it will take effect immediately.Thinking of this, I spit a few mouthfuls, not to mention, it really worked, the foreign body sensation in my eyes disappeared instantly, so I was the first to open my eyes.As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a sunken arched hole on the altar behind the cloth curtain, and in the hole, there was a black lacquered old mummy sitting cross-legged!
The mummy was wrapped in cloth, the color had faded to black, and the original style was no longer visible. Over time, it had become one with the corpse.And the mummy was sitting cross-legged, eyes closed, with a serene expression on his face, didn't it look scary.

Is this the Bawo hero of Wadan?

I looked at the corpse, and then looked around, but I couldn't see any signs of hidden treasures. I thought to myself, could it be that Puzhen didn't have the idea of ​​building this pagoda?Did he kill the Wadan tribe back then, just to silence them?
Just as he was thinking about it, the rest of the people also slowly recovered. Except for Tofu who fell in shock after seeing the corpse, the rest of them were very calm.

The lazy man just supported it with his hands, and the whole person jumped onto the altar. He had put on gloves in his hand at some point, and started to touch the mummy. I don't know why he moved the corpse for no reason. After a while, I saw his His hand slowly touched down from the mummy's head, and for a moment, it stayed on the mummy's abdomen. Then, he nodded slightly at us and pointed to the golden body's stomach, indicating that there was something inside.

I had a sudden shock in my heart, and I wondered if the third treasure hidden by Puzhen was in some kind of stone?He put Dong XZ in the golden body?
At the beginning, the eight-carp bucket was found in the tomb of Princess Gegeer. Puzhen was from the Han Dynasty, so it was impossible to transfer the east to the Ming Dynasty tomb, that is to say, the eight-carp bucket The Jiao Zhenhai Stone also fell into the hands of Princess Gegeer later.

In this way, in these thousands of years, our group of people should not be the first group to look for the treasure of Puzhen.But obviously, due to the clues provided by the predecessors, the results we have obtained so far should be the most.

What will be in the stomach of this mummy?
While thinking about it, the lazy guy pulled out a black machete, and gestured as if he wanted to attack the corpse. It seemed that he wanted to disembowel him, but after a while, he waved to the big yellow duck and said, "It should be done with the agency." , take a look first."

The big yellow duck did its part, jumped onto the altar, put on gloves, and touched the corpse.After a while, he said: "There are living things in the corpse."

Living thing?

I asked, "What is it?"

The big yellow duck said: "Looks like some kind of bug, I can't tell you the specifics." Tofu was already stunned, standing aside and watching our movements in a daze, I glanced at him, and suddenly thought of something.Now the soul of the corpse fairy is in the body of the tofu, and it has occupied a large part of it. Does it know what we are doing now?
That thing is definitely not willing for us to find the treasure. Will it control the tofu at a critical moment or something?

Thinking of the previous few experiences, I decided to keep an eye on tofu for many years, lest he make any troubles.At this time, the three of Master Hu were discussing how to deal with the bugs.Mr. Hu made a thorough analysis and said: "These bugs can't survive in the corpse for so long. Even if they devour the golden body, the body should have been eaten up long ago. So I guess, they are eating other things, and It must have been artificially inserted, we don't know what kind of insects are inside, so we should not rush to dissect the corpse."

The big yellow duck didn't make a sound, but moved cautiously, and gradually touched the whole body of the corpse. As he went down, his expression became more and more strange. , I don’t know what is filled in it, it’s like a puddle of water, it’s strange...” At this time, he carefully touched it from head to toe, except that the head had a skull, so he couldn’t find any results, the rest of the corpse There are almost always problems.

Fortunately, the lazy guy didn't dissect the body hastily just now, otherwise I really don't know what will be dissected.
