The road is rugged, sandwiched between two ridges, and it is in a downward trend, and I don't know where it leads.

The team continued to march, following the sound of the bell, eager to go deeper.

The angle of the ridge is inclined, the road is getting narrower and narrower, and the rock walls on both sides are getting closer and closer. In the end, only the next carriage can pass.Looking up, the skylight at dusk is pressed into the line by the red rocks, becoming darker and hazy.

Everyone couldn't help slowing down, hesitating whether to turn back, but Zhao Shitu continued to walk forward as usual, turning back on the way: "What are you afraid of, follow up."

The people could only put down the car, tied up the horses, changed to walk, and followed behind him suspiciously, forming a line and rounding the corner one by one.

As soon as the corner was turned, the eyes suddenly opened up.

It turned out that the end of this dead end was connected with an empty valley, which was surrounded by rock walls, and a towering lone peak rose in the center.

The bell is coming from here.

The solitary peak stretches straight to the sky, and there is a stone platform on the top of the peak. A bronze Buddhist bell hangs above the stone platform. Under the traction of the wind, it swings back and forth and makes rhythmic sounds.

The sound was vigorous and thick, although it was not loud, but it spread far away, like a long song, echoing in the vast Alan Lagda Mountains.

Zhao Shitu was stunned for a moment, as if he had heard such a song in other places.

Yan Wuhua came to him, raised her head and said, "I never thought there would be a bell on the cliff, I don't know how it was moved up."

Zhao Shitu raised his hand and pointed: "No, this is not a cliff, look carefully at the bottom of the peak, there is an entrance."

Yan Wuhua took a closer look and found a dark cave door at the bottom of the peak. She couldn't help exclaiming: "If this door can lead to the top of the peak, then wouldn't this lonely peak become a tower?"

Zhao Shitu said: "It can also be said that this pagoda was built by digging out a lonely peak."

Wu Qingyi also stepped forward and explained: "After Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty took over the throne, he built Buddhist temples everywhere to promote Buddhism. Perhaps this is one of them. Ganzhou in the past was much more prosperous than it is now, and tourists came to visit it. No wonder."

Yan Wuhua asked: "So, this pagoda is at least 200 years old?"

Wu Qingyi nodded and said: "It's probably the case. The details can only be verified by seeing them nearby."

Yan Wuhua still raised her head, after a few days of fatigue, his complexion was not as good as before, his body was already weak and could not be compared with martial arts practitioners, at this moment, he was even more haggard and tired.He withdrew his gaze and urged, "In this case, let's go in and take a look."

"Wait a minute." Wu Qingyi stopped him and reminded, "This tower has been in disrepair for a long time, and the steps inside may not be able to withstand too many people climbing together."

Yan Wuhua thought for a moment, and replied: "How about this, let's bring a group of people in first, and ask the rest of you to wait for the news below."

Wu Qingyi nodded and said: "This method is feasible."

Yan Wuhua returned to the team, discussed with everyone for a while, and quickly picked out a team of people. He handed the command flag to the apprentices of the Yuan Mansion, and gave a few words of worry, and then led the selected people together Turn back.

Zhao Shitu looked at him and said, "Brother Yan's face seems a little pale to me. If you are tired, you might as well stay here and rest. Let us go."

Yan Wuhua shook her head and said: "For such an important matter, how can I let everyone work hard and be lazy alone."

Zhao Shitu smiled slightly, leaned over and said, "Then let's go together."

The steepness of the mountain can only be fully felt when you are at the foot of the mountain.

The rock wall is steep and smooth, as if cut by a knife and axe, majestic and majestic. The color ranges from red to ocher brown, and it looks more dreamy in the sunset.

There is a strange tower hidden in the strange mountain. I don't know if there is a treasure hidden in the strange tower.

Yan Wuhua brought seven people, all apprentices of the Yuan Mansion, including two bodyguards with high martial arts skills, plus Zhao and Wu, a group of nine people, holding torches, lined up into the mountain in the cave at the foot.

The entrance of the cave is narrow, connected with a corridor, and the wind keeps pouring in behind it, blowing the torch askew. At first, there was some sand on the soles of the feet, but the sand became less and less as it went deeper. There are carved decorations in a few steps, which shows that a lot of effort was spent in chiseling.

Wu Qingyi walked in the front, and said as he walked: "I understand, the wind blows up the corridor, all the way to the top of the tower, and affects the clock core. From evening to night, when the wind is stronger than daytime, the Buddhist bell will start to work." ring."

Everyone listened attentively to the bell above their heads, and it was really thick and loud, with an extraordinary momentum.Yan Wuhua said with emotion: "I don't know where such an ingenious structure came from the handwriting of a skilled craftsman. Brother Wu has always been well-read and knowledgeable, so I don't know if he has a clue?"

"This... I don't know either." Wu Qingyi replied, his expression seemed a bit cautious, but before others asked him, he quickly walked forward and came to the side of the steps.

The sound of the bell seemed to lengthen the distance from the top of the tower, and the old wooden steps twisted upwards. If they were in disrepair for a long time, they would vibrate unceasingly when stepping on them, shaking off the dust.

A group of people stepped on the crumbling wooden plank, not daring to be careless at all, stopped talking one after another, and climbed up cautiously.

I don't know how long I walked, the steps finally reached the end.

It is close to the top of the mountain, and there is a hall at the end of the steps, which is wider than that seen at the foot of the mountain. The walls are all made of wood, close to the rock, and windows are cut into the rock wall to allow sunlight to shine in.

When entering the pagoda, there is also the setting sun. At this time, the twilight outside the window has already fallen, and the sun has already sunk into the western sky. The sky presents a deep blue, with mottled stars floating on it, glowing with faint but bright light, as if it is within reach. .

The Vatican bell is placed on this roof, and the sound is clearly recognizable.

As the saying goes, a dangerous building is hundreds of feet, and the stars are picked by hand. This scene, this sound, has a certain majesty in it.

But the most majestic one is the statue of Manjusri Bodhisattva at the end of the main hall.

This statue is made of brass, as tall as two people, with a fine and thick surface, and the facial features are all lifelike. The five buns on the top of the head are covered with a little purple gold.

Wu Qingyi exclaimed: "I heard that someone once checked the historical sites according to the records of the previous dynasty, and found that a bronze Buddha was missing. I didn't expect it to be hidden in this place."

The statue holds a Vajra sword and sits on the green lotus platform, with a tall and straight figure, flying freely.

Zhao Shitu also came to Wu Qingyi's side and stopped to watch.

Except for the two of them, the rest of the people didn't have much interest in Buddha statues. They didn't forget the real purpose of their trip. They searched around the hall, but found nothing.

Someone finally lost his patience and wondered: "This place the size of a sesame seed has been searched, where is the treasure hidden?"

Someone next to him continued: "I see that there is nothing else in the pagoda except this Buddha statue. Could it be inside the Buddha statue?"

"No way……"

Several people were discussing, when Yan Wuhua suddenly heard a voice saying: "That's bad!"

He stood by the window and was looking out just now, when he turned his head, his expression was flustered.

His two bodyguards immediately surrounded him and asked, "Master, what's going on?"

Yan Wuhua said: "Someone is here."

There was no need for him to explain further, because the sound of footsteps was already coming from outside the window, the distance was getting closer and closer, sandwiched between the bells, everyone present could hear it.

The sound of footsteps was dense and dense, overwhelming, like the beating of war drums.Against the background of the night, it looks particularly bright and terrifying.

The road was blocked by the cliff, although the figure of the visitor could not be seen, but the jumping flames could be glimpsed, like a swimming dragon, shuttling through the winding ravines.
