across mountains and seas

After skimming the stone slab with the hanging curtain, Jing Lan thought she had found the exit, but after standing still and looking at the scene in front of her, she couldn't help frowning, "Is this the Buddhist temple we came in earlier?"

The furnishings are the same, and the Bodhisattva statues are the same.

"No." Liu Xi replied affirmatively.

This Buddhist hall is located above the prison cell with the word "卍". It lacks a mouthful of hanging copper and has a few more ever-bright mermaid lamps.

If the Buddhist temple was a shadow when we came here, then this Buddhist temple should be the real Temple of Past Rebirth.

Putting away the fire folder, the three of them decided to take a closer look here.

"Rice, rice." Shen Jiangli moved his nose slightly, pointing to the stone wall beside him.

Jing Lan searched up and down carefully, and found that the corner of the stone wall was slightly cracked, and a lot of rice was embedded in the crack.Jing Lan took out a few of them with a soft sword, rubbed them in the palm of her hand to remove the shells, and brought them to her nose to sniff carefully.

"It's new rice!" Jing Lan confirmed that it was this year's rice.

Liu Xi chuckled, "In other words, those people stored the harvested rice behind this wall." After a short pause, Liu Xi took out a soft knife and scraped on the stone wall, exposing the wall tires and barriers underneath. Neat brick marks.

It is not difficult to break the wall with the inner breath, and it is not difficult to climb out of the rice pile.

Liu Xi suddenly had a new idea, she turned her head to look at Jing Lan, and said with a sly smile, "Ah Lan, we might as well be Shuoshu for a while."

Jing Lan smiled knowingly, "Wouldn't the people collecting the grain be going to die of anger?"

"Death is definitely not death, and jumping is definitely going to jump." Liu Xi raised his head triumphantly, "It's just right to jump out, I want to see who is using the rumor of handsome wolf to make a fool of himself."

"A blessing in disguise, is this really a blessing?" The smile on Jing Lan's face gradually disappeared, and she walked slowly towards the Bodhisattva enshrined in the Buddha Hall, "What does the person who trapped us here want?"

Until now, no one has found any treasures in this Temple of Past Death.

Jing Lan raised her face, looked quietly at the Bodhisattva's benevolent eyebrows, and murmured: "Since the man is familiar with the mechanism, he must know that the place where the rice is stored is only a wall away from this Buddhist hall. I always feel that things are not that simple. "

Liu Xi nodded, walked to Jing Lan's side, stood shoulder to shoulder with her, thoughtfully, "Perhaps... there is something he is afraid of here."

"Chasing, soul!" The only thing Shen Jiangli could think of was this kind of Gu worm.

Jing Lan and Liu Xi looked back at her at the same time.

Shen Jiangli nodded heavily, she had a hard time speaking, half an hour had passed since the rumor was finished, and even a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead.

Liu Xi gently wiped off the sweat for her, "Don't worry, take your time."

Shen Jiangli couldn't be in a hurry, she finally managed to help them, she wished she could tell everything she knew at once.

"The Qianmei Sect..." Jing Lan had only seen one or two sentences about the Qianmei Sect in some Jianghu scripts, and after hearing Shen Jiangli's previous story, Jing Lan was even more puzzled.

The Qianmei Sect has been extinct for many years, who is raising the soul chasing Gu here?

Liuxi stretched out his hand and scraped the stone platform under the Bodhisattva's feet. It was the dust accumulated over the years. It was obvious that no one had come here for many years.

"There are no traces of living people living here." Liu Xi firmly believed in this conjecture, recalling the few corpses she encountered below, "It's so strange, the clothes of those corpses are the costumes of the people of Daliang."

"Unless..." Jing Lan thought of a reason, "Someone specially threw the corpse down to feed those bugs."

"That's right." Liu Xi nodded, "This is a mass grave outside, and the corpse is not hard to find."

"But..." Jing Lan couldn't figure it out. If someone was raising Gu here, he definitely didn't want to be disturbed. How could he tolerate those people bringing in the food and grass they collected?

Liu Xi said solemnly: "It's bait!" After she finished speaking, she took a breath, "This person calculated that we would come to harvest the grain, so he collected the rice and stored it here first, the purpose is to lure us to come here !"

Jing Lan was startled when she heard that, she looked around in a daze, "This place is the same as an ordinary Buddhist hall, there is nothing special about it."

"That person must have come here to turn over." Liu Xi jumped onto the stage and walked around the statue of the Bodhisattva, "It's just that he also thinks it's normal and can't find what he wants, so he thinks about Fang trapped us in here."

It was clearly built by the wandering monks all his life, so what treasure would a wandering monk hide here?

The soul-chasing Gu of the Qianmei Sect is kept here, is it the remnants of the Qianmei Sect, or is someone so suspicious, using the name of the Qianmei Sect to deceive others?

Doubts lingered in his heart, and Liu Xi couldn't figure out what that person wanted for a moment.

However, there is one thing that Liuxi can be sure of, there must be a way out here, and there must be a hole where the corpse can be thrown down to feed Gu worms.

If you find the intersection, you have to gamble your fate.

If it was a hole for throwing corpses, a group of hungry soul-chasing Gu would definitely burst out of it. I am afraid that Jing Lan's voice of controlling beasts would not be able to calm down these crazy insects.

If there is a way out, that person will definitely wait at the exit, and if they don't get what they expected, they will definitely be forced to come back again.

If the stone wall separating the Shadow Temple was broken, it would not be difficult to get out of trouble, but it would definitely alarm the rice guards—I don’t know how long Liu Xi stayed here, presumably there must be other guards in the temple.

It was not difficult for the three of them to get out of trouble, but once those people were alarmed, most of the rice would not be able to be snatched away.

East Fuzhou is about to enter winter.

Without this batch of rice, Liu Xi's plan to break the game would only have a [-]% chance of winning.Even if the three of them escaped safely, the battle with Yeshi would most likely be lost.Once defeated, Dongjing's prestige will be ruined, and the court will not be able to defend Dongfuzhou. Once the general situation is gone, even if they retreat to Haicheng, they will only end up with the same fate as in their previous life.

It seems that the man deliberately placed the rice behind a wall.

It is a temptation, but also a threat.

"Dong dong." Jing Lan walked to the wall and tapped along the stone wall.

Liu Xi looked at Jing Lan apologetically, and said hoarsely, "A Lan, I underestimated the enemy."

"Who said we will definitely lose?" Jing Lan stood still, her eyes met hers, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "The way you say this is not at all like the Liu Xi I know."

Liu Xi shook her head and smiled, "But do you think highly of me?"

"'Gao' is not recognized by others, it is spelled out by yourself." Jing Lan's face was childish, but her tone was upright, "It is a crime to be pregnant, and sometimes you can save yourself. You told me this sentence , I remember, you should remember too!"

Liu Xi was slightly startled, and said with a smile: "Tsk tsk, it seems that Ah Lan has grown up a lot."

"I'm too lazy to talk to you!" Usually at this time, Liu Xi must be teasing her again, Jing Lan hurriedly turned her face away, and continued to knock on the stone wall, "Why don't you find an agency soon?"

"Yes, my lord." Liu Xi was surprisingly docile.

"What about me?" Shen Jiangli thought to herself that she didn't know the tricks at all, and she still had lingering fears when she accidentally broke the stick earlier, fearing that she would rummage around and touch some mechanism, which would harm Liu Xi and Jing Lan.

Liu Xi beckoned to Shen Jiangli, "Come here, girl, I will teach you as I look for it."

"Okay, okay." Shen Jiangli skimmed up to the stone platform, and stood at the feet of the Bodhisattva with Liu Xi, watching curiously as Liu Xi bent his index and middle fingers, and tapped on the Bodhisattva's feet a few times.

"No matter how deep the mechanism is hidden, it is still a tangible thing." Liuxi knocked the Bodhisattva's feet thumping, "So, to hide the mechanism, there must be a gap behind the wall or under the stone. Knock on the solid place and In the gap, the sound is different, girl, listen carefully, this is the sound of the solid place."

Shen Jiangli excitedly imitated Liu Xi's movement and tapped on the other Bodhisattva's leg, "This, like?"

Liu Xi nodded, and said in a warm voice: "My sister is smart, she can understand with just one point."

Shen Jiangli nodded triumphantly, she simply turned over and hooked the Bodhisattva's hand, sat on the Bodhisattva's shoulder, and tapped on the Bodhisattva's cheek with her hands.

"Empty, empty?" Shen Jiangli exclaimed, the sound of the bodhisattva knocking on the face was different from what she had heard before.

Liu Xi laughed loudly and said: "Your sister is amazing, she has found the key point." As she spoke, Liu Xi also sat on the Bodhisattva's other shoulder, and she rapped on the Bodhisattva's head intently, and there was an empty sound inside.

"Be careful." Jing Lan couldn't help reminding them.

It's not that Jing Lan has never thought about the mechanism hidden on the Bodhisattva, but it's too childish to hide the mechanism in a place that ordinary people can guess.

"En." Liu Xi looked left and right at the Bodhisattva's head, put his ears on it and listened quietly.

With a serious expression on her face, she sat up straight suddenly, and gestured to Shen Jiangli to go down first.

Shen Jiangli flew down and landed steadily.

Jing Lan saw Liu Xi's expression was not right from a distance, so she quietly approached the Bodhisattva statue.

I saw Liu Xi holding the soft knife backwards, and slashed along the edge of the Bodhisattva's ear, the blade cracked the clay sculpture with inner strength, and suddenly cut off most of the Bodhisattva's head.

Just at this time, a head of a living beast unexpectedly drilled out from the belly of the Bodhisattva—it opened its mouth, like a snake or a dragon, with a single horn on its head, and a frightening glimmer of green scales on its cheeks.

"Ah!" Liu Xi exclaimed suddenly.

Before Liu Xi came down by herself, Jing Lan moved her hand first, grabbed Liu Xi's waist, and led her down steadily, saying solemnly: "I'm going to wrap it around, you and Shen Sister sees the opportunity to strike!" After speaking, Jing Lan let go of her hand, shook the soft sword in her hand, and let out a deafening sword whistle.

"Don't fight recklessly!" Liu Xi grabbed her hand, "Try the method of controlling beasts first!"

Fortunately, the cut open Bodhisattva's head was not big. The beast seemed to be stuck in something and couldn't struggle out for a while.

Jing Lan took a quick glance at the beast, nodded to Liu Xi, closed her eyes and concentrated, and began to hum the voice of the beast.

After the snake-like dragon heard the voice of the imperial beast, it froze in its original place after struggling frantically, staring at Jing Lan who was humming motionlessly.

Its emerald green eyes flickered on and off, its head tilted suddenly, and its fierce light suddenly became fierce, and it let out a long and shrill howl at Jing Lan.

The whistling sound was deafening, Jing Lan couldn't keep humming, so she quickly covered her ears.

Just as the three of them covered their ears subconsciously, the green beast finally smashed the clay sculpture of the Bodhisattva that was trapped in its body, hit the ground heavily, jumped up again suddenly, and opened its mouth to bite Jing Lan.

"Keng!"

Liu Xi raised the knife backhand, and the blade hit the green beast's fangs heavily, making a loud noise.

At the same time, Shen Jiangli discovered that the blue beast's tail was nailed to the stone seat by a huge steel nail, and it had been torn bloody at this time.

"It seems to have a box in its stomach!" Jing Lan blurted out.

Taking advantage of the fact that the green beast did not attack immediately, Liu Xi also saw the box Jing Lan mentioned, and almost pushed the green beast's belly open with its bulging.

Perhaps, the things in this box are the treasures that person wants!
