"Did you hear any sound just now?" Gu Xinglang asked Xiao Wei. <>
Xiao Wei shook his head. It was snowing and windy at the moment. He could hear the whistling of the wind, but he couldn't distinguish other sounds. He said to Gu Xinglang, "Did someone shout inside?"
Gu Xinglang turned the knife in his hand and walked down the stone steps, followed closely by Xiao Wei. The stone wall was seeping with water, and the stone steps were slippery. Xiao Wei had only walked down a few steps when he lit the fire in his hand to illuminate the way.
The smell of blood in the air became stronger as the two people walked further down.
There were thousands of stone steps extending downwards. After Gu Xinglang and Xiao Wei got used to the darkness of the stone steps, Gu Xinglang asked Xiao Wei to put out the fire, and the two of them walked down holding on to the stone wall that was seeping with water.
At the end of the stone steps was an empty stone chamber. Gu Xinglang listened carefully and could only hear his and Xiao Wei's breathing.
Xiao Wei lit a fire and shone a circle around the stone chamber. He saw an oil lamp hanging on the wall and hurried over to light it.
When the oil lamp lit up, Gu Xinglang and Xiao Wei closed their eyes for a moment. They were used to the darkness, and when they saw the light again, both of them felt uncomfortable.
Xiao Wei rubbed his eyes, pointed to the left side of the two people, and said to Gu Xinglang: "Prince Consort, there is a stone gate there."
Gu Xinglang also saw the stone door at this time. He walked forward and tried to push it, and it actually worked.
Xiao Wei gripped the knife handle tightly and helped Gu Xinglang push the stone door. Both of them were afraid that the person inside the door would shoot arrows, so they stopped after pushing for a while and listened carefully to the movement inside the door.
Seeing that the stone door was pushed wide enough for a person to walk in, Gu Xinglang said to Xiao Wei, "It doesn't look like there are any living people in here."
The smell of blood in the air was getting stronger and stronger, so Xiao Wei covered his mouth and nose and said, "Is this where corpses are kept? Prince Consort, do you smell the smell of rotting corpses?"
Gu Xinglang nodded.
The smell of blood mixed with the smell of rotting corpses was simply disgusting in the enclosed space.
Xiao Wei asked Gu Xinglang: "Could Jiang Zhuojun be dead?"
How could someone who was to be sent to the Temple of Eternal Life be killed? Gu Xinglang shook his head, turned sideways carefully, and walked into the stone gate.
Xiao Wei turned his head, took a breath of the air in the stone chamber, held his breath, and followed Gu Xinglang's example, carefully turning sideways and walking into the stone door through the gap that he and Gu Xinglang had opened.
It was another stone chamber, the air in the chamber was foul, but still empty. This time, Gu Xinglang saw it first, there was a stone door on the right side of him and Xiao Wei.
"What the hell is this place?" Xiao Wei was a little anxious.
Just by looking at the location of the stone door, Gu Xinglang knew that this dungeon was dug in a tortuous way.
"There is a sound of water," Xiao Wei said to Gu Xinglang.
"There is an underground river nearby," Gu Xinglang said. This was probably the reason why the stone prison was excavated in this way, to avoid the underground river.
When the two men walked through the stone chamber and pushed open a stone door, the guard of the stone prison finally appeared.
When the two sides fought, the sound of swords colliding might sound okay on the ground, but in the underground stone chamber with a loud echo, the sound of metal colliding was harsh.
"Who's outside?" Jiang Zhuojun's voice came from the other end of a narrow corridor, almost hoarse, "Hurry up! Go!"
Xiao Wei made a feint to avoid the monk's long sword that was slashing at him, and ran into the corridor.
"Don't come over here!" Jiang Zhuojun screamed desperately.
Gu Xinglang saw that after Xiao Wei entered the corridor, the two monks who had fought with Xiao Wei did not chase Xiao Wei. Knowing that something was wrong, he hurriedly called Xiao Wei: "Xiao Wei, wait a moment!"
The secret guards were all people with outstanding lightness skills. When Gu Xinglang shouted, the figure of the secret guard disappeared from Gu Xinglang's sight.
Several guarding monks looked at each other, then attacked Gu Xinglang with weapons in hand.
"roar--"
A roar that left a deep impression on Gu Xinglang came from the other end of the corridor.
This voice made Gu Xinglang's hands and feet turn cold in an instant.
Yu Xiaoxiao was standing in a cave on the cliff, looking at Master Jingshi. The master looked to be at least sixty years old, wearing a monk's robe and had an ordinary appearance, but he was not vicious at all.
"Who are you?" Jingshi asked Yu Xiaoxiao in astonishment. The secret passage leading to the cliff cave was always known only to the abbot of Bodhi Temple. How did this person know where the secret passage was?
"Fly, fly up," Ergou shouted to Jingshi.
"You took my things," Yu Xiao said, "and instead of giving me the antidote, you also arrested Xiao Jiang and the others. Old monk, how could you do such a shameless thing?"
The old Taoist shouted at the side: "Princess, why are you still nagging him? Kill him."
"Princess?" Jingshi looked Yu Xiaoxiao up and down again and said, "Are you Yu Linglong from Fengtian?"
"What do you care who I am?" Yu Xiaoxiao stepped forward and grabbed Jingshi.
Jingshi could become the abbot of Bodhi Temple, so his martial arts skills were not bad, even superior, but when facing Yu Xiaoxiao, his skills were not good enough. After struggling twice to break free from Yu Xiaoxiao's hand, Jingshi threatened Yu Xiaoxiao in a stern voice: "Are you really not afraid of our Eternal Life Temple?"
"Eternal life, your sister!"
It would have been fine if Jingshi didn't mention the Eternal Life Temple, but once he mentioned the Eternal Life World, the angry Yu Xiaoxiao couldn't stand it anymore. She raised her hand and threw Jingshi against the wall, knocking the abbot of Jingshi unconscious.
Ergou said, "Princess, let's kill him."
The old Taoist said, "Princess, there is no need to expect this man to come to his senses. Just kill him."
Yu Xiao: "Tie him up and let Xiao Jiang deal with him."
The old Taoist asked hurriedly: "Princess, why is this happening?"
Yu Xiao: "He killed the child of the Jiang family. Xiao Jiang and his family are the victims. If we don't hand him over to Xiao Jiang, who should we hand him over to?"
The old Taoist stopped talking then, as long as it wasn’t because of Jiang Zhuojun.
Ergou ran forward to tie the man up, and Yu Xiaoxiao looked up at the giant Buddha that was tens of meters high.
The old Taoist said, "This is Tathagata Buddha."
"I know," Yu Xiao said, "There are such things in the Imperial Master's temple."
"Then," the old Taoist turned his head and looked behind him, "shall we go back to the Bodhi Temple?"
Yu Xiaoxiao touched the ground with her toes and flew onto the big Buddha.
"Isn't this bad?" Er Gou, who had just tied up the man, ran to the Taoist priest and looked up at his princess together with the Taoist priest. He said to the Taoist priest, "Monks are bad, but we still have to respect Buddha, right?"
The old Taoist said, "That's quite reasonable. Then why don't you call the princess down?"
Ergou shook his head and told the truth: "Even the princess may not listen to the prince consort's words, so what's the point of my words?"
At this time, Yu Xiaoxiao was standing on the nose of the stone Buddha. Compared with this huge stone Buddha, Yu Xiaoxiao's figure looked very small.
The old Taoist shouted, "Princess, what do you want to see?" The old Taoist didn't believe that this little monster was a person who could appreciate the art of sculpture.
Yu Xiaoxiao raised her hand and punched the forehead of the stone Buddha, then reached out and caught a brocade box that fell down with the stone powder. When she opened the brocade box, she was disappointed. It was not a rare treasure, but only a small copper bell.
