Chu Huan shook his head and said, "I'm not sure whether it's a Buddhist cave, but I can tell you one thing. Look at the dust on the roof!" He raised his finger and said, "The tops of almost all the houses here are covered with a layer of yellow sand. , so this city should have been buried under the yellow sand. The storm last night happened to be the eye of the storm, and the dust and sand here rose up from the ground, revealing this dust-sealed city underground. "
"How did this city get buried under the desert back then?" Mei Niang asked curiously: "Did the people in the city evacuate before being buried in the desert, or were they all buried inside?"
Chu Huan said with a smile: "This is a good judgement. Let's go over and take a look. If there are still bones left, it should be a sudden sandstorm that buried the entire city."
While the four of them were talking, they had already approached the outside of a house, which was built in a typical Western style. Under the upper arch of the door, there were holes in the walls on both sides, which should be windows.
The windows were blocked by dust and sand, making it difficult to see clearly what was going on inside.
Chu Huan raised his foot and kicked the door open. A puff of dust rushed towards his face. Chu Huan took two steps back, raised his arms to cover his mouth and nose. He waited until the dust in front of the door dispersed before entering the house.
The ground inside the house was covered with a thick layer of sand. As soon as Yang Ning stepped in, half of his legs sank in. He glanced around and saw that only the furniture in the house was still there. Most of it was made of stone and most of it was buried by the yellow sand. Half of the wall was covered with a layer of sand, and there really wasn't anything useful to see.
Chu Huan exited the house and said: "These houses are too old. If they really only appear once in more than seventy years, they must be at least one or two hundred years old. These ordinary houses should be lived by ordinary people, and they should be found there." There is nothing useful." He raised his hand and pointed to the palace in the city, "Let's go there and have a look, there should be some clues."
The palace is located in the center of the city. It is vast and tall and can be seen from almost anywhere in the city.
Walking through the streets of the city, it was extremely deserted. Apart from houses made of stones, you could only see yellow sand all over the ground, and you couldn't see the remains left by the predecessors for a while.
But seeing that hundreds of years of buildings are still well preserved and right in front of them, a few people can even feel how people lived in the city back then, and they can even see the bustling scene of people coming and going in the streets and alleys.
Chu Huan and the other three walked in front, while Bishamon kept some distance away and followed behind, looking left and right from time to time. The three of them ignored him, knowing that since the monk had been planted with brain worms by Concubine Gusa, they would never dare to do it out of thin air. disappear.
Chu Huan was thinking at this moment, if this ancient city is really related to the Buddhist caves, then traces of the Buddhist caves can naturally be found in this ancient city.
But he knew that it would be impossible to open the Buddhist cave without six pieces of dragon relics.
The six dragons gather together and the Bodhisattva opens the door. The prerequisite for opening the Buddhist cave is the gathering of six dragon relics.
There is only one dragon relic in his hand now, and he knows that Liuli also has one in his hand. Apart from these two pieces, the remaining four should have fallen into Feng Hanxiao's hands.
After the sandstorm passed, the earth turned yellow and orange. Chu Huan really didn¡¯t know whether the others were alive or dead.
¡°If either Liuli or Feng Hanxiao is buried in the storm and buried by the yellow sand, there will be no way to enter the Buddhist cave even if they find it.
At this time, Chu Huan was actually not very eager to enter the Buddhist cave. Although he was close to the legendary Xinzong Holy Land, there were some ripples in his heart, but he had no desire for the Buddhist cave.
But since such an ancient city appeared in the desert, Chu Huan was somewhat interested to see if there was really any chance.
Although the palace can be seen from everywhere in the city, it is still quite a distance away if you really want to walk there.
A few people staggered through the yellow sand in the city. They walked for nearly an hour before they got closer. They found that the top of the palace was oval, but the bottom was square. It was very square and occupied a large area. , very majestic, the roots of the walls cannot be seen, they are all buried in the yellow sand.
The main entrance of the palace is closed, which is a heavy stone door. Both stone doors are several meters high and are white in color. However, the surface is covered with a layer of yellow sand. There are faint patterns carved on the stone doors, but they are covered by the yellow sand.
Chu Huan stepped forward and pushed slightly, but the stone door did not move at all.
"Brother Huan, be careful." Mei Niang came forward and said softly: "This dead city is very weird. The palace is in the middle and the door is closed. We don't know what is inside, if there is a mechanism!"
Chu Huan thought that what Mei Niang said was quite reasonable. Just as he was thinking about how to open the door, Concubine Gusa had already turned around and said: "National Master, you are very skilled in martial arts. This door should be able to be pushed open. I can only help you."
Bishamon¡¯s expression immediately changed.With an angry look on her face and gnashing her teeth, Concubine Gusa turned her jade hand, and the bell was in her hand. Her pretty face seemed to be a smile but not a smile. Bishamon only wanted to cut Concubine Gusa into pieces, but at this moment he was facing Chu Huan and others were helpless, and they were even more afraid of the bell in the hands of Concubine Gusa. As long as the bell rang and the brainworm was awakened, it would be like dying.
Although he lacks physical strength, as the King of the Heart Sect, it is not difficult to push open a stone door.
Chu Huan was not familiar with this dead city. After Mei Niang reminded him, he felt that if there was a trap, it was better to be careful. Since Bishamon was a ready-made shield, he felt disrespectful. He took a few steps back, raised his hand and smiled. : "Master please!"
The muscles on Bishamon's face twitched, but he had no choice but to step forward and try to slap the stone door with his palms. Then he rolled up his sleeves, took a deep breath, made palms with his hands, and slammed the stone door. Up, the stone door shook, and the dust and sand accumulated on the stone door began to rise. Then Bishamon roared, and then a "crack" sound was heard, and the stone door was indeed pushed open bit by bit.
The yellow sand covering the pattern on the stone gate fell one after another as the stone gate was slowly pushed forward. Chu Huan could already vaguely see that there seemed to be two humanoid patterns carved on the stone gates on both sides.
The stone door was pushed open with a gap large enough for one person to enter and exit easily. Bishamon immediately turned around and said coldly: "You naturally want me to go in first?"
He is a very smart man. Concubine Gusa asked him to open the stone door, so he naturally knew what Concubine Gusa was thinking.
Concubine Gusa smiled coquettishly, nodded and said: "If this is really a Buddhist cave, wouldn't the Imperial Master be playing into his heart? Isn't it that you are planning so hard to enter the Buddhist cave?"
Bishamon snorted coldly, but what Concubine Gusa said was true. Bishamon really had a great desire to enter the Buddhist cave deep in his heart.
In fact, he also knew that in his current situation, going against the wishes of these people would be asking for death. A good man would not suffer the immediate consequences. No matter how he resisted, he would eventually be the first to enter the palace and act as a guide instead of doing unnecessary things. It is better to fight happily. Neither Chu Huan nor Concubine Gusa are vegetarians, and they are both ruthless and ruthless when they use their hands.
He took a deep breath again, and then entered the palace through the gap. Chu Huan took Mei Niang's hand, followed Bishamon, and followed closely.
Entering the palace, although it is a little dark, there are several small holes at the top of the oval palace. The sunlight pours in through the small holes, and the scene inside is clear.
What came face to face was a huge stone Buddha with a lifelike shape, sitting cross-legged and clasping his hands. Under his seat was a round lotus pedestal made of huge rocks. Most of the lotus pedestal was already buried in the yellow sand. , only the sharp corners of a circle of lotus petals are exposed. The petals are pure white in color. Although they have been eroded by yellow sand for many years, they still do not change their color.
"It turns out that this city also enshrines Buddha statues." Mei Niang said softly: "The people here should also be Buddhist believers."
"Since it is a Buddhist cave, it is naturally related to the Buddhist sect." Concubine Gusa followed Mei Niang, "I thought there was something inside, but it was just some stone statues."
Chu Huan glanced around and found that there were many stone sculptures on both sides. They looked like humans but not humans, and looked like ghosts but not ghosts. They were all in strange shapes. Most of these stone sculptures were buried in the yellow sand up to the waist, but some were made of stone. The thighs are raised to make strange shapes, and there are no less than twenty strange stone sculptures on the left and right.
Chu Huan first thought of the Arhats from the Eight Tribes of Buddhism, but when he looked carefully, he found that this was not the case. These strange stone sculptures were neither human nor ghosts, some were human-shaped, some were strange, and some were There are two or three heads, and some have multiple hands and legs. He has seen many Buddhist sculptures in Lotus City, but none of them are the same as the stone sculptures in this palace.
Chu Huan thought that his knowledge of Buddhism was rudimentary. It is said that the various Bodhisattvas, Arhats and Vajras in Buddhism are as numerous as cow hairs. He had never seen these stone carvings, but Bishamon was from the Buddhist sect and should be familiar with them. He was about to ask, but he saw that Bishamon was also frowning at this time. He frowned, looking left and right, with a puzzled look on his face, and knew that the great monk was obviously not familiar with these stone carvings.
He did not ask, but Princess Gusa had already asked: "Master, you have profound Buddhist teachings, but can you tell what gods these stone sculptures are?"
Bishamon glanced at Concubine Gusa and said calmly: "Evil heretic!"
"Evil heretics?" Concubine Gusa smiled and said: "The things enshrined here are obviously sacred to Buddhism. If you don't know it, you don't know it. Why slander them?"
Bishamon turned his gaze to the big stone Buddha and said coldly: "Have you ever seen the Three-Eyed Buddha?"
"Three-eyed Buddha?" Concubine Gusa frowned and said, "I really haven't heard of any other three-eyed Buddha."
"You haven't heard of it, and neither have I." Bishamon said coldly: "But in front of you, a three-eyed stone Buddha appeared. What is this if it's not an evil heretic?"
Chu Huan suddenly raised his head to look at the big stone Buddha. He had taken a casual look at it before and found nothing. After hearing what Bishamon said, he looked carefully and a look of surprise quickly appeared on his face.
