Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 1496 Blindfolded Living Dead ([-])
Facing these zombie-like blindfolded monks, those scientific researchers have been scared out of their wits. These scientific researchers usually stay in the studio, even when they go out and carry out tasks, they also stay in the tent. Posture, if it wasn't for Professor Liao's big apprentice ordering everyone not to panic, the two researchers would probably run away!

But those masked monks are indeed terrifying. They seem to have heard the voices of living people, and they begin to gather here, more and more, and the closer they are, the more clearly their appearance can be seen. These masked monks are alive and dead. Unknown, the skin on many of them is gone, and their walking postures are also numb and stiff, very weird...

"Just wait here!
I'll bring the researchers in, don't worry, I'll be fine! ",
Chen Zhi turned his head and said something to Ghost Dao, signaling him and Fat Wei to wait here, then turned and went straight to a masked monk.

Chen Zhi's move frightened those scientific researchers, they couldn't imagine that Chen Zhi would walk in front of those walking dead without any scruples.

Those masked monks are like ghosts, if you get close to them, you don't know what will happen, maybe they will be eaten!

But Chen Zhi didn't seem to be afraid of them, not only approached the monks, but also stretched out his hands to grab the faces of the monks, as if looking at something, and shined a flashlight on it to observe carefully.

Under the light of the flashlight, the appearance of these masked monks is already clear.

Their faces are indeed very ferocious, it is the muscles that have been in a state of painful tension and solidified.

It seems that they have been gnashing their teeth and hating something for a long time in the past, but they can't cry out, because their mouths have been sewn shut with thick thread, and they are full of torn wounds and blood scabs.

And the thick blindfolds on their faces were very obstructive, twisted and crooked, obviously tied up roughly, but they never tried to take them off.

Chen Zhi looked at these monks, pulled up one of the arms and looked carefully, and found that there was very little meat on it, only shriveled skin and bones remained. When he looked carefully again, he found that they could not lift their arms at all , because their joints were all broken, and they couldn't take off the blindfold directly...

The monks in front of him, Chen Zhi couldn't guarantee that they were all alive, some of them might have turned into the kind of zongzi that Fat Wei said, living as other life forms.

"Buddhism, a place full of compassion!
How can this kind of thing be allowed to exist... ",
Chen Zhi thought silently in his heart, and glanced down with his eyes, only to see that the shackles of those walking corpses are indeed from all ages. It seems that some of them have been sent here for a long time.

Chen Zhi's actions just now increased the courage of those scientific researchers.

This is the way of thinking of human beings. No matter how scary things are, as long as the partners around them are better, they will feel that they can rely on them and feel safe.

These scientific researchers have all heard of Professor Liao's subordinates. Chen Zhi and the others have been to many places, and they are very powerful. Generally, monsters and ghosts can't hurt them at all!

So they no longer panicked, and quickly raised Dao, followed by Master Danxuan and began to walk forward.

This avenue is a straight road forward, and the entrance of the stupa is at the very front of the avenue. They walked forward quickly, and soon, the gate of the stupa was displayed in front of everyone.

It was a very common arched stone gate, and the door was covered with ancient prayer flags and Buddhist scriptures. The prayer flags had faded long ago, and they were full of dross. They were very old, and the scriptures had long been unrecognizable.

But the outside of the arched stone gate was tightly built up with a row of bricks. Those stone bricks were several layers thick and covered with lime, which looked like they were old.

"need my help?
If you use my method to disassemble, it can be faster! ", Chen Zhi leaned forward and asked Danxuan.

Before coming here, Chen Zhi had sworn to Danxuan that he would never use spells unless it was absolutely necessary, but now, maybe it was time to use spells.

But Danxuan's performance at this time was very stubborn, he still refused Chen Zhi's help, very pious, he knelt in front of the stone gate, and using the blunt awl that Pangwei gave him just now as a tool, he began to knock on the gaps between the stone bricks. gap.

Those stone bricks seemed to have been laid in a hurry, they were not tight and seamed in the first place, and Pang Wei's tools were very useful, so a gap was quickly knocked out.

Afterwards, Chen Zhi thought that Danxuan would use some clever method to remove these bricks, but unexpectedly, he chose the most stupid method.

With his bare hands, he removed the stone bricks blocking the gate one by one with both hands, little by little.

This behavior that Chen Zhi thought was absurd actually succeeded.

This process took a full two hours. After finishing the work, Chen Zhi saw that Danxuan's hands were covered with blisters, and some of them were already bleeding.

And those stone bricks were unbelievably removed within these two hours.

At this time, a door was exposed behind those stone bricks.

It was a bronze-colored door with red lacquer. The red lacquer was gilded with golden flowers. After countless springs and autumns, it still did not fade, and the flowers were in full bloom. It had a typical style in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.

On the animal mouth of the gate, there are two door knockers in its mouth, and the dragon pattern is carved on the door knockers, which proves that this is a pagoda built by the emperor himself, with a solemn status.

The door was not locked, but it was tightly closed. Danxuan pushed hard a few times, and the door seemed to be nailed to death, and remained motionless.

The last few scientific researchers went there together, and several people worked together to push the door together. Finally, with a "bang" and a burst of dust from digging, the door was finally opened.

There was a dark space in the tower, and a staircase could be seen in front of it, leading straight up, but there was no handle.

Danxuan stepped in, and several scientific researchers turned on the lights behind and walked towards the stairs together.

This pagoda is a typical hollow-shaped pagoda. The stairs spiral upward along the edge. The pagoda is very high, but the stairs are very narrow. Only one person can pass at a time, and there is no handrail, which is quite dangerous.

A group of them lined up and walked up the narrow stairs.

Chen Zhi soon discovered that this kind of stairs only looked dangerous, but they were very solid to walk on. The stair boards were specially designed to incline people's gravity, and there was no need for handrails at all.

And he also discovered that the stone slabs on the stairs under his feet were actually made of precious sapphire.

These sapphires are fine in texture and are very suitable for fine processing. At this time, they are all carved into the shape of clouds and auspicious clouds, leading straight up. .

This road goes up through many layers of pagodas, and in each layer of partitions, there are basically all kinds of scriptures; Buddha statues and other objects.

It was very smooth for them to walk all the way up like this, but the distance was a little longer...

"Master Danxuan..."
Chen Zhi finally asked softly,
"What's going on with those blindfolded monks outside?"
