Golden Forbidden Land: I am at the highest level, exploring the secrets of immortality

"You're here?"

The old man didn't seem surprised to see me coming, "By the way, Shi Yaoqian is fine, but it's just a minor problem, it's fixed."

No wonder he seemed to be treated like a god by the people here at this time.

"Tell me, what happened?"

I asked.

In fact, I really want to know what he saw at the bottom of the lake because I always feel that the bottom of the lake is like the gate of hell.

I even want to ask if there is a palace of the king of hell or something like that.

"I went to the gate of hell, but I was lucky enough to come back."

The old man really remembered what happened, and said, "It turns out that the bottom of the lake is really an underwater world, there is a very strange temple, and many stone statues and sculptures are buried, what a pity."

He kept regretting.

"What else did you find?"

I asked quickly.

He thought for a moment and continued, "No more. I just wonder why there is an underwater world under such a small lake. Oh, I remember there is a coffin under the water, a wooden coffin."

"What, is it an underground water tomb?"

In the early years, I knew that many tombs were underwater. There are two possibilities. Either the owner of the tomb was buried in the water before his death, mainly to prevent tomb robbers from visiting. This trick is very effective. There are very few cases of underwater tomb robbery recorded in history, because it is full of dangers and a narrow escape.

The tomb robbers will naturally not joke with their lives.

After weighing the pros and cons, they can only give up regretfully.

The other possibility is that the tomb was originally in a low-lying area, and because of geological changes or external forces such as landslides and mudslides, it went underwater, but this kind of ancient tomb generally cannot be preserved for a long time. There is no waterproofing measure, and most of the things inside are left with dregs and eroded by time.

"It's not an ancient tomb."

It seems that I thought too much, because the old man firmly believed that it was a temple.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I saw everything clearly inside."

He told me that he opened the coffin and found an old monk inside. It seemed that he had been dead for some time, but the body was well preserved.

"What?"

I was a little surprised.

"I suspect that the old monk was the one who came to look at the land when this house was built a few years ago."

The old man just suspected and had no evidence, but it was almost certain. He couldn't tell the Shi family now, otherwise he would get into trouble.

"No wonder..."

I guessed that the monk wanted this temple as his burial place, and the young Taoist priest naturally didn't know the mystery at the beginning, so he sold it because he was short of money.

"Sure enough, there was a conspiracy."

I sighed.

Shi Yaoqian was cured by the old man, and the Shi family immediately worshipped him like a bodhisattva.

And some people outside also asked for medicine, saying that the old man was a god descended to earth. But because it was a little quieter here at Shi's house, the old man said that it was better not to disturb the good monk in the temple. Although he was looking for a cemetery for himself, he had no bad intentions and it was inconvenient to disturb him.

I also told him what happened recently.

Especially about the key that the boy unlocked.

"What, he opened it?"

The old man and I were both shocked, as if the end of the world was coming, and he seemed very excited, even a little shocked. It seemed that he was both worried and a little surprised. Could it be that he had long anticipated what was in the box, but he was just not sure.

"That's right."

I said, "But he died."

"This..."

I explained the cause of death of the boy in detail.

The old man was stunned when he heard it, it was just like a fairy tale.

"By the way, did you bring that thing?" The old man asked me what was in the box.

I shook my head. How could I carry such an important thing with me?

"By the way, I also found a strange thing in the boy's house. That night..." I was about to talk about the fully armed monks, and suddenly I found someone making noise in front of me.

"There is a monk outside, he said he was begging for alms."

"Monk?"

Hearing the housekeeper say this, I felt like I was hit by a blow, and now I seemed to have a fear of the monks.

"Oh, really? I'll go and see."

The old man said at this time, "Go and meet Buddhist friends."

Before I could call the old man, he had already walked several meters away. No, I had a very bad premonition in my heart.

Soon, a monk holding a broken bowl looked towards the back of the yard.

As if looking for something.

I felt more and more that something was wrong.

"Amitabha..."

At this time, the monk who was begging for alms was looking and chanting.

"Amitabha."

The old man stepped forward and replied.

The two seemed to have greeted each other tacitly.
