Mrs. Du blew up again

Chapter 126 The Shadow of the Ancient Tower (2)
Yang Saonian's unintentional words aroused my curiosity. Yes, we followed Kuer to find the water source. He led us into the pagoda. No one else asked the reason, even Everyone is still studying the scriptures here.

I followed Yang Saonian's words and asked: "Kur, is the water source near the pagoda?"

I looked at Yun Muchen, waiting for him to help me translate, Kuer's face eased a little, he looked at us and started to gesture with both hands.

"Kuer said that he had been here when he was very young. It's been too long and he didn't remember it very clearly. He just vaguely remembered that there was a passage leading to the ground in this pagoda, which was on the second floor, so he just now I want to go up and see if there is a secret door or something."

After listening to Kool's explanation, it made sense, and I also dispelled the suspicion in my heart, but there was always a big question in my heart. Kool said that he had been here when he was a child. How did he come here at such a young age?Could it be that he came with his grandfather?
After thinking about it, I think that the old man Bate is mysterious, and it seems normal to have a relationship with Lop Nur.

Lao Lai took a flashlight to the stairs and took a photo: "Can we go up now?"

Fengzi also walked over: "Go up, so what if there are people up there? Could it be that a dozen of us can't deal with him alone? Damn, I want to see what is pretending to scare me."

Fengzi is more courageous, but scolding at such a time can actually relax people's nervous mood.

"The stairs are a bit narrow. Let's go up two by two, and Lao Lai and I will clear the way." Fengzi pulled out the dagger from his waist, and with a flashlight in the other hand, Lao Lai followed closely behind him and stepped up. Stairs, the creaking sound of the old wooden stairs is particularly harsh in the silent night, as if it will break at any time. After the two of them walked a certain distance, Yun Muchen and I followed closely behind, Kuer and Yang Saonian followed behind us, while Ding Linglong and her men came up last.

The second floor is smaller than the first floor, and there are many stone statues around. There are many stone statues lying on the ground. Compared with the colorful murals on the walls of the first floor, the stone statues on the second floor are more shocking.

I walked to the statue in the center standing in front of the altar. It was about three meters tall. The whole statue was in a standing posture, and it was not a lotus platform, but a giant python hovering under its feet. He raised his head high, spit out his core, and stared fiercely ahead.

The facial features of the stone statue are also very strange. Although it looks like a human being, it feels like it reveals a haze and evil spirit, which is quite different from the kind eyebrows and kind eyes of the Buddha statues enshrined in ordinary temples.

Yang Saonian walked up to me, followed my gaze and raised his head to look at the Buddha statue: "What kind of Buddha is this?"

I shook my head: "I don't know. It should be the images of gods and Buddhas passed down from India. Indians have always worshiped snake culture since ancient times. Snakes are often seen in some ancient Buddha statues and paintings handed down from India."

Yang Saonian didn't quite understand: "What kind of culture is this? Buddhas and snakes, who are incompatible, can also join together."

In fact, I don’t quite understand this point. The Buddha symbolizes kindness, while the snake symbolizes greed. Logically speaking, it is difficult to connect these two types, but after learning about Indian Buddhism, I changed this. From a point of view, there are many stories about Buddha and snakes in Indian Buddhism. It is said that before Sakyamuni Buddha became enlightened, he was protected by a giant white snake.

Many other gods, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas are also related to snakes. From this point of view, Buddhist culture and ancient Indian snake culture are likely to be related.

Maybe Yun Muchen would know, I turned my head to look for Yun Muchen, I scanned around but didn't find him, but I saw Fengzi, Lao Lai and Kuer walking around in the hall.

"Kur, where did you see the black shadow just now?"

Kuer suddenly pointed to me and Yang Saonian.

"there?"

Kur nodded, and pointed his finger straight in my direction, causing my heart to twitch violently.

"Did you find anything?" Yang Saonian and I walked over to ask Fengzi, Fengzi shook his head: "I didn't even see a ghost except us."

Yang Saonian asked Ku Er, "Is it possible that you are blind? A person must feel terrified when he runs up. There are so many stone statues in the hall, and it is normal to regard the stone statues as human figures."

"I think what Brother Yang said makes sense." Lao Lai continued, "How could there be someone here? It must be that Kuer took the stone statue as a human being."

Kuer wanted to make gestures, but Lao Lai interrupted him: "Kuer, where is the underground passage you mentioned?"

Kuer couldn't speak, and looked at me anxiously. I didn't know what he wanted to express for a while, but suddenly I heard a click from behind, and then I heard Ding Linglong cheer: "Finally found it, there is really a tunnel!" .”

I raised the flashlight and looked over, and found that a stone statue on the left was pushed to the ground, and a black hole was exposed from under the stone statue, and Ding Linglong was standing on the edge of the hole.

"Everyone, come quickly, the underground passage has been found!"

We walked over, and Fengzi knelt down and took a flashlight to take a picture below: "There are still stairs, Kool, is this the underground passage you mentioned?"

Kuer nodded happily, and Fengzi also laughed: "Looks like I'm lucky, I'll go down and have a look first, and call you after I'm sure there's no problem."

I hastily untied the climbing rope from my waist and handed it to Fengzi: "Tie this up and go down, and if there is anything wrong, just yell, and we will pull you up faster."

"Okay!" After tying the climbing rope, Fengzi descended slowly along the stairs at the entrance of the cave.A group of us stood at the entrance of the cave waiting for news. At this time, I thought of Yun Muchen. I didn’t find his figure just now. The shadow flashed quickly, and the speed completely blinded my eyes. I didn't even see clearly whether it was a person, but a black shadow flashed quickly and then disappeared quickly.

I stammered and said to myself: "Kuer..., I, I seem to have seen it too!"
