Chapter 78 Lingyu Temple
The rectangular square is wide and narrow. The square is full of rubble formed after the collapse of houses. There are two shorter trees in this direction near the corridor, but they have withered. At the end of the opposite side, there stands a 20-meter-high spire building.
Behind this huge spire building is also covered with dark shadows, which seems to be connected to a large-scale complex.
* and I hid in the canopy and see the situation on the ground.
We can only see two stone walls that have collapsed not far below us, and the palace corridor composed of these two stone walls extends left and right into the boundless darkness.
The corridor collapsed a big hole on the far side from us, which is connected to a rectangular square about half the size of a football field.
The rectangular square is wide and narrow. The square is full of rubble formed after the collapse of houses. There are two shorter trees in this direction near the corridor, but they have withered. At the end of the opposite side, there stands a 20-meter-high spire building.
Behind this huge spire building is also covered with dark shadows, which seems to be connected to a large-scale complex.
Grandpa and his party, about 30 people, are now busy before the ancient door.
A large number of them are digging something under the bronze door with tools such as shovels and picks, while Grandpa and Daxiong look at those people from afar, as if they are discussing something in private.
At this time, * patted me, pointed in one direction and said, "Look there, I think your grandfather has been working here for more than a day or two."
Following the direction indicated by *, I saw that two piles of people had been piled up to make dirt on one side of the bronze door, which was obviously dug up by Grandpa's people these days.
* next tosaid, "Look at the lower right corner of the stone gate. There is a depression. I think they blew it up with explosives. It seems that the depression is at least half a meter deep, but there are no cracks in the rest of the stone gate. I think this door is at least two or three meters thick, so your grandfather and others found that they can't blow it open with explosives at all. , just thought of digging in from below.
I nodded, thinking that even if Grandpa and they had enough explosives, as long as they used too much, the whole spire building would collapse and the things inside would be damaged.
I was thinking about this and found that the flashlight on the other side of the corridor was getting closer and closer, only about ten meters away from the big tree where we were.
Then, the messy flashlight lights went out together. Obviously, their group also saw Grandpa's light and knew that there was someone here.
I stared at the direction in which the flashlight disappeared and speculated about their speed. Sure enough, less than a minute later, fifteen or six dark shadows appeared under the tree.
They were very careful and came to the tree. When most people saw the light on the stone wall, they immediately found cover and hid, and only one of them peeked inside through the hole.
The man looked at it for about ten seconds, then turned around and gestured to the people who were hiding.
I think his palm is pressing down, which should mean to put everyone on standby for the time being. It seems that these people are an organized team.
Everyone obeyed the man's order and lowered their bodies, but the man looked left and right, and finally stared at the tree we were hiding.
I was surprised and said to *, "Oh, that guy also seems to like our treasure!"
* Gently pulled the bolt and said to me, "It's okay. As long as he comes up, if one is wrong, he will give him a gun."
I hurriedly said, "Don't be impulsive. What if it's someone you know?"
Just said this, something unexpected happened. The man looked at our tree twice, then jumped up five or six meters high, and jumped somewhere above our heads.
Then the canopy shook slightly, and the man fell up like this.
In order not to let the other party call out, * and I covered each other's mouths. At that time, the hairs all over our bodies stood up, and cold sweat flowed down with our cheeks.
I scolded in my heart, "This must be a monster. Is this a hanging wire?" Jump five or six meters high, hit the evil."
After a long time, there was no movement above our heads before * and I dared to let go of each other's mouths.
I knew that there were night eyes. When the light was so dim, I must have seen it better than me, so I put my mouth to *'s ear and asked, "See clearly? What is it?"
*'s cold sweat has wet his temples, and he breathed a little quickly and said, "His grandmother's, it doesn't seem to be a human shape, and his hind legs are particularly long!"
Isn't it a human figure and still uses a flashlight? This is too unscientific. I was extremely shocked and whispered, "Shall we withdraw first, otherwise it won't be fun to see us down there later."
* Dare not move around. He looked hard at the front and whispered, "I can't escape. The bottom is all..."
I looked down sideways, and my heart suddenly became more frightened, because there may be more than a dozen such things. If there is really malice towards us, we will really be unlucky.
* Gently pulled the corners of my clothes and said, "Don't move. Let's take a look first."
I thought there was no other way, so I slowly adjusted my breathing and looked to the opposite side.
Coincidentally, a grandfather's man's voice came from the pit under the huge stone gate: "Sir, it's dug through. It's very big inside!"
This sentence attracted me and *'s eyes. I thought it was a good time to come. Let's see what Grandpa came here thousands of miles away for.
At this time, everyone, including Grandpa, set off the flashlight to surround the pit. Countless flashlight shone into the pit. Many people were eager to try and wanted to go down, but they were stopped behind Grandpa. He looked carefully for a long time and then said, "Can you open the door from the inside?"
After a while, the man's voice came from inside: "Wait, old man, there seems to be something wrong..."
The man said a long list. The voice in front was quite loud and I could hear it clearly, but it was getting smaller and smaller at the back. In addition, we were about 50 meters away, so we couldn't hear it clearly.
But immediately, a heartbreaking scream came out of the door, which was extremely tragic, almost right next to my ears, which made me tremble.
The people around the mouth of the cave were panicked and at a loss.
At this time, someone's head shrugged under the pit, the crowd became more noisy, and then a person was pulled up from the pit covered with blood.
The man just climbed up to the edge of the pit, and suddenly the dust flew in the pit, and something followed him out.
Then the man seemed to be grabbed by something, and his body climbed up to the edge of the pit and sank down again.
The bloody man made a sad and shriveled roar, and then heard a click of bone fracture. The dust in the pit brought a wind back, and something drilled back into the pit.
Bang! Bang! Several gunshots were remembered and all hit the pit.
Grandpa's people scolded angrily, and there were some unpleasant words.
But there was no movement in the pit. After a while, there was only the sound of a group of people gasping and vomiting, because the latter half of the person who climbed up the edge of the pit was torn off, and a strong smell of blood permeated the air.
Others were retreating one after another, for fear that the thing would come out again, but Grandpa's body was stiff there. After a while, he said, "Dog, the dog slaves of Lingyu Temple actually raised such an evil thing here!"
As soon as Grandpa said this, I looked at *. Obviously, we all heard about the organization of Lingyu Temple.
Originally, I thought that Lingyu Temple was just a mysterious department in the Tang Dynasty, but when more and more clues pointed to Lingyu Temple, I felt that this organization did not seem to be that simple, and it seemed to have a deep connection with Weiguo.
