Chapter 17: The Great Buddha


Only then did I realize that Mr.

Kai's face was covered with sweat, and he panted and said to me, "Old Bai, let's go, leave me alone, I can't hold on anymore."

"What nonsense are you talking about?

There's only a little distance left.

I'll carry you there."

I pulled Mr.

Kai up and asked him to step on my legs and lie on my back first.

Mr.

Kai felt soft lying on my back and seemed to have no strength at all.

I tied Mr.

Kai to me with a rope and crawled towards the stone platform.

As soon as I walked into the mist, I suddenly felt cold and shivered all over.

Why was it so cold in the mist?

It was more than ten degrees lower than just now.

I couldn't care less, so I climbed to the stone platform in one breath and quickly put Mr.

Kai down.

I also collapsed on the stone platform, breathing heavily, feeling that my whole body was no longer my own.

Mr.

Kai was lying beside him, his eyes were open at first, but after a while he closed them and fell asleep.

"Master Kai."

I called weakly, but I felt dizzy and fell asleep in a daze.

I felt something cold in my mouth and quickly opened my eyes.

Lao Bai was feeding me water.

"Lao Bai, where did you run away just now?"

I quickly sat up and asked.

"I accidentally fell down.

However, the tunnel below was densely covered with corpse vines and it was impossible to fall to the bottom, so I simply climbed up again."

Lao Bai was now covered in black corpse vine poison, but he was fine.

Mr.

Kai has also woken up and is sitting aside drinking water.

I looked at my watch and saw that I had been unconscious for more than an hour.

The surrounding fog had disappeared, and the temperature was much warmer than when there was just fog.

So I asked, "Old Bai, where did the heavy fog go?"

"I did feel the fog when I climbed up, but it has almost dispersed.

It seems that this underground palace should be built on an underground river.

The person who selected the tomb site has a good study of Feng Shui."

After finishing speaking, Lao Bai stood up. , pointed behind me and said, "Here we go, the main tomb."

I turned my head and looked, and a huge stone door appeared in front of me.

It was almost ten meters high and more than five meters wide.

Except for the tight gap in the middle, there were no patterns carved on the entire door.

Such a door is in the tomb chamber.

Rarely seen.

Lao Bai put his nose against the door and sniffed hard, shook his head and said, "This tomb is completely sealed, and even the smell can't come out."

After saying that, he started to touch the stone door.

Grandpa once said that some of the larger doors in the tomb are opened by mechanisms, and most of the doors can only be opened from the inside.

Some doors are permanently sealed once and for all, which means that once closed, they cannot be opened. .

If this huge stone gate is also permanently sealed, then we have to think of other ways.

Lao Bai touched the door for a while, then squatted on the ground, measured it with his hands for a while, then took out his dagger and stabbed it hard on the bluestone below the stone door, and the dagger sank in.

Then with a forceful gouge, the entire bluestone slab was gouged out by Lao Bai.

It should be said that it is a square bluestone.

The bluestone that fell in the corridor before was very thin, but the bluestone on this stone platform is square.

After the bluestone was dug out, there was another layer of bluestone underneath.

Lao Bai used a dagger to gouge out a few more pieces of bluestone, and a small square hole was dug out under the stone door.

"Qin Feng, you are strong, come and turn on the machine," Lao Bai said to me.

I followed Lao Bai's instructions and spent a lot of effort to first use a dagger to dig out a piece of bluestone underneath the stone door.

Then he reached in and touched it, but found nothing but bluestone.

"There is no mechanism."

I shook my head and said.

"Try and see if you can't push that piece of bluestone in."

I gently pushed the bluestone first, but there was no response.

Then he took a deep breath, pushed forward hard, and the bluestone slipped away.

Then there was the sound of bluestones rubbing and colliding, and then with a slow and huge friction sound, the ten-meter-high stone door opened to both sides and retracted into the tomb wall.

"Retractable door," Mr.

Kai said in surprise.

Lao Bai nodded and said, "This kind of door is rare because it is quite troublesome to make.

Most of the tomb chamber doors are one-way retractable doors, or retractable up and down.

However, once the retractable door is lowered, it will be Completely sealed.

It seems that the person who built the tomb is very proficient in mechanism design.

It is basically rare to see a stone door like this.

Behind the stone gate is a very wide corridor, so dark that there is no end in sight.

The corridor is more than ten meters high and five meters wide.

It is the same width as the Shimen.

It is also made of bluestone.

Just like the previous corridor, there are no patterns painted on either sides or on the top.

I took the portable lamp and was about to go in.

Lao Bai suddenly said, "Wait a minute, something is wrong with this corridor."

I took a flashlight and looked into the corridor.

It was dark in front of me.

The walls on both sides of the corridor were very smooth, and no cracks in the bricks could be seen.

In other words, this corridor was directly pieced together with large boulders, not small bluestone bricks.

Another possibility is that the walls of this corridor have been specially treated to make the surface look very smooth.

"There's nothing wrong with it except that the walls are smoother," I said.

Lao Bai frowned and said, "This wall is painted with corpse wax."

Corpse wax is a special corpse phenomenon.

If an obese corpse stays in water for a long time or is buried in a humid place without ventilation, it will decay slowly.

After about half a year, the subcutaneous fat of the corpse will decompose into fatty acids and glycerol.

Fatty acids combine with ammonia in protein decomposition products to form fatty acid ammonium, which then combines with calcium and magnesium in water to form a gray-white waxy substance that preserves part or all of the corpse, called corpse wax.

However, I had never heard of applying corpse wax to the walls, so I asked, "Is there anything wrong with applying corpse wax?"

"I have heard from my seniors that when the three-eyed baby's coffin is being sealed, corpse wax must be applied to the inside of the coffin.

After the coffin is sealed, corpse wax must be applied to the entire walls of the tomb chamber to prevent the corpse from being damaged.

The corpse gas leaked out.

I said there was no smell just now, so the back of the stone door must have been coated with corpse wax."

Lao Bai said.

"Old Bai, it's not such a coincidence.

Nine-lived cat corpse, three-eyed baby, and blood widow appear in the same tomb," I asked.

Lao Bai nodded and said, "There is a possibility that the only ghost corpse with two pupils is the one with two eyes.

However, since three of the four corpse kings may be in this underground palace, the fourth one should also exist in a certain tomb."

After listening to Lao Bai's words, I swallowed.

I could clearly feel my Adam's apple making a popping sound.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't afraid.

If there really is a three-eyed infant in this main tomb, then according to grandpa, as long as the three-eyed infant looks at it, a person will go blind.

Lao Bai frowned and stood there smoking, obviously thinking about whether to enter the main tomb.

Although I was a little scared, I was also very curious to know who was buried in the main tomb and what if.

If there really is a three-eyed baby, what would that three-eyed baby look like?

After Lao Bai finished smoking, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stamped it out with his foot, said, "Come in" and stepped into the corridor.

Mr.

Kai and I quickly followed.

This time Lao Bai walked very fast, as if he wasn't worried about any mechanisms in the corridor.

Thinking about it, it is too troublesome to set up traps in such a wide corridor, and it is also easy to dodge.

The three of us walked for about five minutes, and a huge wall appeared in front of us.

There was a stone door on the wall, which was like a semicircular stone door like a cave dwelling.

This wall is at least ten stories high, but why is there such a small door?

Moreover, this stone door has an obvious switch, which will open as soon as the door is touched.

It was as if the people who built the tomb wanted someone to enter.

Lao Bai stood in front of the stone gate and motioned for me and Kai Ye to retreat.

He put his right hand on the protruding stone on the door, pulled it down hard, and the stone door slowly rose up.

A dark wind blew out, and I shivered.

I looked inside with a flashlight, but I couldn't see anything.

There seemed to be a large tomb behind the door.

"You two wait outside first, and then go in when the lights are on on the facade."

After saying that, he rushed into the tomb without taking a flashlight.

Mr.

Kai looked at me confused and asked, "Should we go in?"

"Since Lao Bai asked us to wait outside, he must have a reason.

Let's just wait."

I took out a cigarette and handed it to Mr.

Kai.

I lit one myself and took a few puffs to make myself tense.

Relax your nerves for a while.

Judging from Lao Bai's nervous expression, it is very likely that Sanyan is buried in this tomb.

If it is true, then it is very likely that all three of us will die here.

This is when Mr.

Kai asked me again, "Qin Feng, do you think what grandpa said is true?"

"What's up" "It's the thing about three-eyed babies.

As long as a three-eyed baby looks at it, you will go blind."

I was already a little more relaxed, but when Grandpa Kai asked, I became nervous again and said, "I don't know, Grandpa also said it, it's just a rumor, no one has seen it, you see, Lao Bai went in blatantly, that means This tomb is not that scary."

"Lao Bai has seen the Blood Widow.

He has never seen any storms.

Not to mention the three-eyed baby, even if the King of Hell is buried here, he dares to dig it out."

"Okay, don't scare yourself.

Since you know that Lao Bai is capable, you must believe in him and wait patiently."

I consoled him.

Mr.

Kai nodded, threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground and stamped it out with his foot.

At this time, the tomb suddenly lit up, and Mr.

Kai and I rushed in.

This is a huge, no, it should be said to be a magnificent tomb.

The entire tomb is a semicircle, about fifty meters high, and the diameter of the circle is more than a hundred meters.

There is a huge Buddha statue in the center of the tomb.

The face of the Buddha statue is the same as the one painted on the sheepskin.

It looks like the great Buddha of Lushena.

The right hand of the Buddha statue holds an orchid with fingers raised in the air, and the left hand is placed on the legs of the cross-legged person with the palm of his hand facing up.

There is a small white jade coffin in the palm of the hand
