Chapter 207 The Guardian

"Okay, let's go." Zhao Qingyi finally couldn't help but said aloud, because he clearly heard that Su Xiaowu had already chanted to the point of asking the Lord Buddha to bring all disasters to him. This matter has nothing to do with her and so on. .

Su Xiaowu chanted the last few words calmly, bowed reverently three times, and then walked towards them with a smile on her face.She felt at ease now. Although she didn't believe in gods, ghosts, Buddhas and demons, it would be good for her mood to push the responsibility away.

Looking up at the plaque at the entrance of the Great Buddha Pavilion, Su Xiaowu followed Zhao Qingyi and Shui Hanguang in a file.As soon as she stepped into the threshold, Su Xiaowu felt a cold air blowing towards her face. Although she knew it was because the whole of the Great Buddha was directly carved out of rocks, and the Great Buddha Pavilion built outside made this place look like a cave. a feeling of.But I still feel a little uncomfortable inside.

There was a statue of Buddha standing in the main hall, Su Xiaowu didn't know who it was offering to, so he bowed indiscriminately.Then he just followed the two fast-walking men around the front hall, walked towards the big Buddha at the back, and climbed down the stairs.In the dark, Su Xiaowu couldn't see the specific appearance of the Great Buddha Pavilion, she put all her mind on the stairs, and silently recited Amitabha every step she took.

I don't know how many floors down, Zhao Qingyi, who was the first to lead the way, stopped.Su Xiaowu's heart tightened, knowing that she had reached her destination.

"Susu, we're here." Zhao Qingyi knelt down, took out a torch from his bosom, and lit it.

Under the light of the fire, Su Xiaowu clearly saw that Zhao Qingyi wiped a certain place with his hand, and a small hole suddenly appeared in the same place as the one next to it.

Khan, how did he notice it then?In the place that was almost covered by the floor, she wanted to admire his persistence.I think I should have searched the entire Buddha when I was looking for it.

"Uh, you want me..." Su Xiaowu couldn't help being timid when she saw Zhao Qingyi raised her head and looked at her expectantly.The wrench obviously couldn't be removed from her hand. She must reach in to unlock it, but the question is, who can guarantee that there is no mechanism inside?What if she broke her finger?
"Susu." Zhao Qingyi stretched out his hand to hold hers. Su Xiaowu thought for a moment that he was going to force her, and trembled reflexively, but still did not hide.

Zhao Qingyi smiled and said sincerely: "Susu, since the finger has chosen you, no one else can replace you, it means that this treasure has also chosen you, and the Lord Buddha has also chosen you. It will be fine, Lord Buddha bless you You." The reassuring voice floated in this huge space. The thirteenth floor of the Great Buddha Pavilion was connected from top to bottom. Wu's ear, strangely made her heartbeat stabilize.

"The image of the Leshan Giant Buddha is different," Shui Hanguang's voice also sounded slowly, and said slowly, "This giant Buddha is a Han nationality."

Su Xiaowu knew that both of them were comforting her in their own way, so she stood there and listened quietly.Indeed, she was also very strange. It stands to reason that she remembered that the statue of Sakyamuni Buddha was liked to worship in the Tang Dynasty.

"He doesn't have the handprints that Buddha statues usually have, he just puts his hands on his knees." Shui Hanguang continued to speak slowly.

Su Xiaowu also nodded. Although she has never seen the panoramic view of the Leshan Giant Buddha in ancient times, she has seen it on TV several times in modern times.Buddha statues usually have handprints, hands on knees... Uh, it's really suspicious for him to say that!But what does it represent?

"The Great Buddha was excavated in the early Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was a famous Taoist monarch. He ordered the suppression of Buddhism, the prohibition of building Buddha statues, and ordered monks and nuns to return to the vulgar. But why did he allow the excavation of the Great Buddha project? Such a large project , It has been digging for 90 years without stopping, and no one gave up."

That's right, there is no emperor as the backstage. In ancient times, the stone carvings that were almost comparable to the Egyptian Sphinx and the Valley of the Kings on the Nile, she didn't believe that faith alone could be completed.

"So, ever since the Great Buddha was built, the legend about the underground palace has never stopped. It is called the secret treasure of the Lord Buddha in history, but in fact it is the treasure of Tang Xuanzong." Shui Hanguang said lightly, "Moreover, there are rumors that the underground palace has a guardian. "

"Guardian?" Su Xiaowu finally couldn't help asking, it was the first time she had heard of this.

"Yes, Guardian." Shui Hanguang's red pupils became more and more alluring under the reflection of the fire, and he slowly spit out each word from his almost colorless thin lips, "It is said that Tang Xuanzong entrusted the treasure to the people around him." Follow me, one to keep the key, that is, the finger wrench in your hand Xiao Wu; one to keep the map of the treasure, that is, the sheepskin map in your hand; and the other one is responsible for protecting this treasure."

"What happened next?" The more Su Xiaowu listened, the colder she felt all over her body, partly because Shui Hanguang was expressionless when she spoke, and partly because she had never heard of such a thing, and she felt more mysterious and unfathomable, as if she had come into contact with it. A historical mystery.

"Later?" Shui Hanguang raised his voice slightly, and said calmly, "After the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were in chaos, these people dispersed and formed their own families. But the ancestors' precepts cannot be violated, and they have guarded their responsibilities for generations .”

"Then the offspring who kept the finger-wrench key were married to the Duan family in Dali?" Su Xiaowu recalled that Duan Xu once said that the finger-wrench in her hand was passed down to Duan's parents-in-law in the past, so it is very likely that this finger-wrench The guardian is female, or there are only female descendants.

Zhao Qingyi had obviously never heard of these things, so he simply stood up and listened with great interest.

Shui Hanguang nodded and said, "It's possible. I have heard my foster father mention the Dali Duan family a few times."

foster father?Su Xiaowu hurriedly asked: "Then Murong Xuanse is the descendant of the guardian who guards the map?" It turned out that the Murong family is not the descendant of the Great Yan Kingdom, but the guardian of the treasure.

"That's right. In fact, the Great Yan Kingdom also belongs to the Murong family, but the title of guardian comes earlier." Shui Hanguang said quietly.

Khan, it is a misrepresentation that the rumors in the rivers and lakes say that this treasure is the treasure of the Xuanyi Sect's Demon Cult.But who would have thought that the truth would be so terrifying, if Shui Hanguang hadn't said it herself, she would not have believed it anyway.

"Then who is the last guardian, the person responsible for protecting the treasure?" Zhao Qingyi, who had been silent all this time, asked coldly.

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Shui Hanguang's lips, and he murmured: "I don't even know who the guard who guards the treasure is. I thought that the monks in Lingyun Temple must be the descendants of the guards, but I just went to Lingyun The temple subdued all the monks in the temple, and found that their martial arts were low, and they were not the people I imagined at first."

Accompanied by his words, a gust of dark wind blew, and the torch in Zhao Qingyi's hand flickered, adding to the weird atmosphere.

A chill ran from the soles of Su Xiaowu's feet straight up her spine, and she couldn't help shivering a few times, because she knew that only the guardian of this treasure was the one Tang Xuanzong truly trusted.

And who is this family?
