Chapter 045 Suspicious Statue
Most of the things inside were actually of little use to him in the past, as he had seen a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.
However, his master once told him solemnly that there was a place that he should not enter or be curious about unless absolutely necessary.
It is estimated that in the life that Yang Zengyue lived, he finally came in, opened the place, and took away the things inside.
Also, you may have encountered an accident.
Otherwise, the things of Xingyun Temple would not have been lost elsewhere.
The entrance passage is not narrow and can accommodate two people passing side by side.
Yang Zengyue shone a flashlight on the cave wall and found that the chisel marks were very neat, not like they were dug directly by tools.
Even if it was dug by hand, it would not be possible with the tools used thousands of years ago.
"Master, the records of Xingyun Temple state that it was built one thousand and sixty-six years ago. Is this time correct?" Yang Zengyue began to feel puzzled about this underground palace.
Because all of this does not conform to the production technology conditions thousands of years ago.
Jiuxiao also discovered this. He was still young when he first came here and didn't care about this issue: "The Guanzhi records it so, it shouldn't be wrong."
If there is a mistake, it must have been done intentionally by the person who left the record.
Yang Zengyue racked his brains but still found it unbelievable. He asked Chen Jiaer behind him, "What do you think, Jiaer?"
This girl's family has done a lot of real estate projects, and she is quite knowledgeable about architecture and geographical environment.
Chen Jiaer touched the wall with his gloved hand, carefully assessing the rock composition. "It's certainly not possible, but if the pyramids were built artificially, I think this place should be possible, too."
She wasn't actually sure.
Shi Rongchuan thought they were overthinking it: "Back then, it was all done with forced labor and rushed, and the construction inspection was incredibly strict. Maybe the person who built it had obsessive-compulsive disorder?"
Even if we are not able to see everything clearly now, it is useless to dwell on it.
After the four people entered the cave, Chen Jiaer looked at the entrance and found that the location was just covered by the shrine.
Chen Jiaer asked, "Sister Zengyue, do you want to block the door?"
The palace gate and the door leading to Xingyun Temple have been closed by Yang Zengyue. She believes that no one can find the location, and even if someone comes, she will know it at the first time.
"Let's move the stone door over to cover the cave entrance." After saying that, he and Chen Jiaer moved a huge rock to the cave entrance.
Shi Rongchuan was stunned. This strength...
He took a breath.
In the end, he didn't ask. He followed Jiuxiao, with Chen Jiaer at the end, and the four of them went deeper.
After walking around in the winding passage for a full thirty minutes, Jiuxiao gave Yang Zengyue nine keys and he opened nine doors. After opening the ninth door, the road ahead suddenly became clear.
There is light here.
Yang Zengyue turned off the searchlight and flashlight, looked around, and found that the layout here was exactly the same as the one on the ground. There was even a statue of Master Xingyun here.
However, this statue is different from the one on the ground. This one is much smaller, and it looks more lifelike.
Unlike the statues in the main hall, this one does not have exaggerated eyes and nose, and looks like a normal person.
Yang Zengyue judged this from the clothing on the statue. The statue was wearing the same clothes as the one in the main hall, except that the marks on the hands on the waist were different.
As soon as she stood at the entrance of the ninth door, she noticed someone was watching them.
After entering here, this feeling became even stronger. Yang Zengyue looked at the statue from head to toe without any expression.
She felt that if there was anything strange here, it must be this statue.
It is the only one with eyes.
Chen Jiaer didn’t know whether he had discovered it or not.
Yang Zengyue gave Chen Jiaer a look and asked her to look at the statue.
After receiving it, Chen Jiaer looked at the statue, and then she was surprised to find that the statue was blinking!
Oh my god!
This frightened the fearless Chen Jiaer. She tugged at Yang Zengyue's sleeve, pulled her aside and whispered, "Sister Zengyue, can this thing blink?"
Yang Zengyue narrowed her eyes and stared at Lu Xingyun's statue. She was sure that those eyes were smiling!
She suddenly had a mysterious feeling.
This is much weirder than watching the lottery box fall for no reason. It can only be explained by fantasy!
Jiuxiao and Shi Rongchuan saw that the two girls were staring at the statue, so they stood at a distance and observed, but they didn't see anything unusual.
Jiuxiao knew that Zengyue's senses were more sensitive than theirs, so he asked, "Zengyue, is there something wrong with this statue?"
Yang Zengyue didn't know why her master and Shi Rongchuan couldn't discover it. She guessed that it might be because she and Chen Jiaer had returned from the apocalypse and had special abilities.
In order not to scare the master, Yang Zengyueyuan went over and said, "I just think it's too realistic, just like a photo."
Shi Rongchuan agreed with this point.
This statue is made entirely according to a human figure, with a one-to-one model.
Very realistic.
The eyes, gestures, and posture are all the same as those of a real person; even the wrinkles on the clothes look real.
Jiuxiao was familiar with the history of Xingyun Temple, which vaguely mentioned the underground palace, but no successive temple master had ever written about what the underground palace looked like.
Yang Zengyue asked his question, unconsciously lowering his voice: "Master, could this statue be the Xingyun Patriarch himself?"
Jiuxiao: "There is no record of this in the temple records." He didn't know either.
Yang Zengyue pointed at the statue's eyes, its standing posture, the position of its hands, and most importantly, its expression, which looked down upon everyone.
Jiuxiao followed her gesture and looked at it carefully. He was also very surprised. Although he thought this life-size statue was strange when he came in before, he didn't think much about it.
Because the master told him something that interested him more, his attention was drawn to other things and he no longer thought about the statue.
"It can't be true. It really is Master Xingyun himself, right?" Yang Zengyue felt more and more creepy the more he looked at him.
Jiuxiao's wise eyes looked at the life-sized statue: "Maybe, maybe not."
It's hard to say for sure.
After all, it's been too long.
Lu Xingyun should have left a portrait in the underground palace, they will look for it later.
Jiuxiao decided to put this doubt aside for now: "Let's go to that place first, and we'll study this later when we come back."
The three followed Jiuxiao to the right side of the hall, turned two doors, and came to a secret room with flowing water.
Still spacious.
The first impression of this place is that it is decorated very elegantly.
It looked like a resting place, with a futon and a couch. On the couch was a small wooden table. The incense burner on the table was the same model as the one Yang Zengyue brought with him.
What surprised Yang Zengyue and the other two was that there was a ten-foot square spring in this secret room, a living spring.
