The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

At the same time, the team led by Gui Yuanzhang entered the gate of "Tale of Heaven and Humanity".

The scene behind this door surprised everyone.

After about 50 meters of dark, narrow passages, they came to a spacious palace.

In the palace the size of a basketball court, there are many bronze "Buddha statues" of different shapes, and around the Buddha statues, a whole circle of ever-burning lamps are lit, making the entire hall brightly lit.

In front of each Buddha statue is a cushion and an incense burner, apparently for kowtow and incense.

Everyone took a closer look—I saw that some of these Buddha statues were sitting on a deer; some were holding beads in their hands; Those with elephants, those with lions, those with open arms, those with hands raised, those with heads down in thought, those with ears, those with cloth bags on their backs, those with banana fans, those with eyebrows as long as beards...

Bronze statues of various shapes are placed in a ring in the hall, which looks very lively.

Everyone looked at each other.

The hall is closed and there is no obvious exit. At this time, there are two choices. The first is that they have encountered a dead end, and they have to go back to find another exit; the second is to find the mechanism hidden in the hall and open another door. The door to the deeper part of the maze.

Obviously, the second possibility is more likely.

Ye Qi scratched his head and looked at these Buddha statues: "These Buddhist statues, I only know 'Guanyin Bodhisattva' and 'Tathagata Buddha' in "Journey to the West". I don't know these at all... Do you know them?"

"Not familiar." Shao Qingge shrugged.He is an atheist, and in reality he set up a fund company. He believes that the key to a person's success lies in his own hard work, not the blessing of God, so he never goes to offer incense when passing by temples.Like Ye Qi, he only knew Tathagata and Avalokitesvara in the Western "Travel Notes" he had read in his childhood, and he didn't know the other gods at all.

Fortunately, Gui Yuanzhang recognized these bronze statues, and he said: "The bronze statues in this hall are the 'Eighteen Arhats' in Buddhism, like this one with a deer next to it, it is called Sitting Deer Arhat; this one is a meditation Arhat , This is ear-digging Arhat, cloth bag Arhat, plantain Arhat, laughing lion Arhat, crossing the river Arhat..."

A total of 18 arhats, Gui Yuanzhang actually called out the names of all arhats in one breath.

Chu Huaying glanced at him unexpectedly: "Old Gui, do you still believe in Buddhism?"

Gui Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Some things, if you believe in them, you have them, and if you don't believe them, you don't have them."

He didn't answer directly, but Shao Qingge felt that this old man obviously believed in Buddhism, how could ordinary people clearly call out the names of the Eighteen Arhats?Moreover, when Xiao Lou mentioned the "Six Paths of Reincarnation" just now, Senior Gui obviously knew about it.

Shao Qingge looked at Gui Yuanzhang: "Senior, do you have a solution to the mechanism of this secret room?"

Gui Yuanzhang said in a low voice: "The 'gods' in Buddhism, from low to high, are Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas. We have only met the eighteen Arhats now. I guess, after unlocking this secret room, there will be more secret rooms in the next one." It is possible to meet Bodhisattvas of higher status, or even Buddha. According to the theory of the Six Realms of Reincarnation, those who can enter the "Heaven and Human Way" are those who have done a lot of good deeds during their lifetime. Therefore, in theory, this secret room should not be too dangerous organ."

After he finished speaking, he took a step forward and knelt down on the soft cushion with a calm expression.

The other teammates did not dare to move, and all looked at him.I saw Gui Yuanzhang put his hands together, bowed to the bronze statue in front of him, then got up, and knelt down again...

After performing three kneeling and three prostrations, the bronze statue of Arhat in front of him suddenly turned slightly.

The teammates were overjoyed.

Ye Qi couldn't help whispering: "It seems that the mechanism solution of this secret room is to kneel and worship Buddha?"

Gui Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Press-type mechanism."

Long Sen and Qu Wanyue looked at each other, they had been embarrassed to talk, and after hearing this, Qu Wanyue asked softly: "Senior, Eighteen Arhats, do you have to kneel down and worship each other?"

Gui Yuanzhang said lightly: "It's likely to be like this, let's split up."

The teammates had no choice but to quickly kneel in front of different Buddha statues, imitating Gui Yuanzhang's three kneeling and three worshiping movements.

There should be a sensor mechanism under each mat. After kneeling down, the corresponding bronze statue will rotate a little bit...

After the six people quickly finished worshiping the eighteen arhats, a golden light flashed in front of their eyes, and a melodious Sanskrit sound came from their ears at the same time, and they could smell a kind of sandalwood that seemed to come from a Buddhist hall.

The eighteen arhats moved their positions, and a door opened behind them. The wide corridor was covered with red carpets, and both sides were full of ever-burning lights.

There is enough light here, and everyone doesn't even need Ye Mingzhu.

Gui Yuanzhang stood up and said, "Everyone, go ahead, Xiaoye, report to Professor Xiao about our situation."

Ye Qi nodded, pressed the headset and said to the other team: "Professor Xiao, how is the progress on your side? We came across a... a place similar to a Buddhist hall. The way is to kneel down and worship the Buddha statue. We have unlocked the mechanism and are going to continue walking in."

After hearing Ye Qi's voice, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other.

The scene in front of them sent a chill down the spine of the six people.

Xiao Lou thought in his heart, there are eighteen arhats on your side, but eighteen hells on our side.

In front of you, it is the first level of the eighteen levels of hell - Tongue Pulling Hell.

The walls of the entire room are covered with tongues of different lengths, this picture is simply tingling!

Xiao Lou just wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't make any sound.

At the same time, Yu Hanjiang, Lao Mo, Liu Qiao, Lu Jiuchuan, and Tang Ci were in the same situation—everyone opened their mouths and tried hard to speak, but found that they had completely lost their voices!

Lu Jiuchuan pointed to his mouth with a sullen face, and then pointed to the tongue on the wall. The meaning was obvious—since it was tongue-pulling hell, everyone would also be affected by the punishment of hell and temporarily lose the ability to speak.

Yu Hanjiang nodded to his elder brother and made a "go quickly" gesture.

Ye Qi still asked in the voice headset: "Professor Xiao, what's the situation with you? Can you hear me?"

If there is no response for a long time, it will make the teammates on the opposite side worry.

In desperation, Xiao Lou directly summoned Qin Guan, inviting him to connect with Ye Qi.

Ye Qi was startled when he received the invitation, and immediately connected.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Lou's voice came from his mind: "Our side is the eighteen hells, and now we have reached the tongue-pulling hell on the first floor, and we can't speak. Tell Senior Gui to be careful, this maze Here, there are likely to be phantoms everywhere."

Ye Qi was taken aback, and immediately reported the situation to Gui Yuanzhang: "They have entered the tongue-pulling hell, and no one can speak!"

Gui Yuanzhang frowned, pressed the earphones and said, "A real scene of hell actually appeared... You must be more careful. In order not to distract you, I will not contact you for the time being. If you are in danger, just withdraw to Taohuayuan."

As soon as Gui Yuanzhang finished speaking, Xiao Lou's waist tightened suddenly.

The next moment, Yu Hanjiang stretched out his long arms and directly brought Xiao Lou into his arms. At the same time, the Qinggong card of [Body Light as a Swallow] was activated, and Yu Hanjiang flew into the air like a whirlwind.

Almost at the same time, the tongues on the wall suddenly protruded and swept fiercely towards the position where Xiao Lou was just now!
