Martial Arts: Dress up as a traitor and traitor

Chapter 31 Phantom Soul Array
Song Suchen stood alone in the courtyard, waiting for Song Cheng to return.

"What will it be?"

He has actually been interested in the secrets of Tiezhu Temple for a long time. The problem is that not even the people in Tiezhu Temple know this secret!

11 years ago, Shangguan Hong and Song Suchen came down from the mountain and traveled around the world. They came to Quanzhou, made friends with the then salt bandit leader of Qingyun Mountain, and joined the gang. Soon, with their extraordinary martial arts and intelligence, they overcame the old leader and broke out. In his name, he controlled the salt wells, took power, and strengthened the salt bandits.

Shangguan Hong's "Dark Wind Poisonous Sand Palm" is more powerful and has a higher level. Because of his purple and green poisonous hands, he is known as the "Green Devil";
Song Suchen's skills are slightly weaker, but he has many strategies. He is cunning and cunning, and he is known as the "Black Fox".

At that time, the salt bandits controlled Qingyun Mountain. Due to its strategic location, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Every caravan passing by would make a sound when the wind passed by, and the geese would pluck their feathers when they passed by!

Traveling for business is both annoying and helpless.

Even the government's several attacks on the mountain resulted in heavy casualties, so they could only turn a blind eye and let it get bigger.

Therefore, many desperate people come to seek shelter.

There is one person among them, who is the direct descendant of Tiezhu Temple in Luoshang Mountain.

The man was revoked in martial arts and kicked out of the mountain by the temple master at that time because he molested women and committed adultery. Therefore, he held a grudge and approached Song Suchen as soon as he went to Qingyun Mountain.

Shangguan Hong has never been interested in this kind of people. He only values ​​ability, and people like this person who have lost their martial arts skills and have a bad mind have no chance of getting ahead with him.

Song Suchen is not like that. He only values ​​his own interests.

In order to show his value, the man told him a secret passed down from generation to generation in Tiezhu Temple.

——The temple may contain a treasure left by Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty. For hundreds of years, Tiezhu Temple has been waiting to attract the destined person!
Song Suchen was overjoyed. After detailed inquiry, he learned that the Taoist priest Ban Bian, the founder of the Tiezhu Guan sect, was once a soldier under Li Jing. He only had one leg and one arm cut off because of fighting on the battlefield. After he retired from the army, his family suffered great changes, and his wife and children were separated. Disheartened, he became a monk at Tiezhu Temple.

Li Jing came to Quanzhou to visit him several times, and each time he would go into the underground secret room to stay for a while.

As for what was done inside, outsiders have no way of knowing.

People in Tiezhu Temple only know that there are more and more immortal stone carvings in the underground secret room. Gao Ming, Chen Mu, Sanqing, Laozu, Xuan Emperor, Jade Emperor, Sanguan, etc. are all messy and disorderly, but with hidden formations.

The expressions and postures of each statue are very charming. Once you enter them, you will be infected by their expressions unconsciously, and your seven emotions will change accordingly, and you will lose yourself.

It was obvious that the treasure was inside.

Either hidden in the array, or hidden underground, or maybe they are those statues!
The disciples of Tiezhu Temple have long been dissatisfied with the fact that Tiezhu Temple's disciples are sitting on the treasure mountain but giving it away, and no one has claimed it for hundreds of years. In this case, why should they stick to the old rules?
So he teamed up with Song Suchen to take revenge, and in order to seize the treasure, he killed the people of Tiezhu Temple, arrested the temple owner, and tortured him, hoping to get the treasure.

But the owner of the temple didn't know where the treasure was. He only knew that the person with the destiny might be from overseas.

Song Suchen found nothing after checking the underground secret room. In a rage, he burned the Iron Pillar Temple and ordered his cronies to monitor secretly at the foot of the mountain.

This waited for ten years.

During this period, Tiezhu Temple was as unnoticed as it had been for hundreds of years.

But today, three people came specifically to inquire...

Judging from their clothes, they were either rich or noble. From the words, they didn't know it before, which proved that they were not survivors of Tiezhu Temple, but came specifically for Tiezhu Temple... Fortune has arrived!

"uncle."

Song Cheng quickly returned from the secret path, wiped his sweat, and said: "They are busy treating the injuries of the earthly ninjas. They will not miss anything and will not come out. Hosokawa Kaede also locked up the brachiosaurus. Get up, I'm afraid I can't control it. Let's go up quickly, don't lose us."

"rest assured."

Song Suchen smiled gloomily and said unconcernedly: "I have checked it a long time ago. There is only one underground secret room in Tiezhu Temple, and only those statues hide secrets. Even if they know the decryption method, it will take a lot of time. Don't do it. I am impatient. The closer I am to success, the more careful I have to be... Go get [Shixiang Ruanjin Powder], I want to be absolutely sure!"

"Yes!"

……

Luoshang Mountain is not high, only more than a hundred feet, but the trees are extremely lush, and you will feel lost when you are in it.

The three of them went all the way up. As expected, the whole journey went smoothly without anyone blocking them, and they soon reached the top of the mountain.

The former Iron Pillar Temple has long since disappeared, and under the setting sun, only ruins remain.

Looking around, there are all charred ruins and broken walls, which are even more dilapidated after being washed by wind and rain.

"'On the top of Luoshang Mountain, under the Iron Pillar View'... it refers to the bottom of the Sanqing Main Hall. Other places cannot represent the Iron Pillar View."

Kong Konger looked at the back of the ruins. There were still three broken walls standing there, guessing that they might have been the former main hall. There was also half a plaque on the ground.

"Probably, let's see if there are any mechanisms."

Xiao Jingxing nodded, scanning his eyes like a comb: "It has not been repaired for so many years. It should not be difficult to find the entrance to the agency... 'It's a blessing that the three heroes are of the same blood.' This shows that he trusts the eyesight of the bearded man. It may be the eldest brother who comes here." As a direct disciple, there is no need to be embarrassed, no matter the mechanism or formation, it should not be too strong."

The three of them spread out to search.

Soon, a secret door leading to the underground was discovered in the southwest corner of the hall.

Kong Kong'er was overjoyed, blew a fire stick, and prepared to go down.

"slow."

Xiao Jingxing stopped him and said, "Don't forget that there are others on this mountain. Even if they don't take action easily, they still need to be prepared just in case. There is only one entrance and exit, and it is easier to get down than to get up. We can find it, but others may not be able to find it. Don't worry yet. .”

Xiao Jingxing stood next to the entrance and shook it with a fire stick. Through the light, he could see several oil lamps placed on the walls on both sides of the secret passage.

He randomly picked up a few dead branches and lit them, then fired them with a concealed weapon. The flames burned the wicks, and the passage immediately became bright.The structure of this secret room is relatively complex, unlike the cellar, which is clear at a glance. It also has corridors and partition walls.

Just standing on the top can only see the end of the passage, not the whole picture, so I have to get down now.

Xiao Jingxing pondered for a while: "Axiu, stay on top and fire a gun as soon as you notice something is wrong! No matter he is an old, weak, woman or child, or a martial arts master, we will come out immediately. Remember, don't take it lightly, and pay attention to protect yourself."

"Ah."

Shen Daoxiu nodded solemnly: "You should also be careful."

"Let's go."

Kong Kong'er knew Xiao Jingxing's physical condition and did his duty to lead the way.

The two of them walked down the passage carefully, being wary of hidden weapons. They walked all the way to the end of the passage. Kong Konger held up the fire folding book and glanced at it, and was suddenly surprised.

The candlelight flickered, and the center of the empty secret room was actually filled with dark figures!
Their eyes reflected strange green lights!

At first glance, they look like a group of heavily armed assassins, combined with various weird postures, like lonely ghosts, which makes people's hair stand on end!
Kong Kong'er's first reaction was that someone was ambushing him, and he hurriedly grabbed the hidden weapon in his hand.

After taking a closer look, I discovered that they were actually lifelike stone sculptures, and what reflected the light were the various gemstones inlaid in their eyes.

These stone sculptures have different expressions and strange shapes.

Some stand proudly, some have charming figures, some raise their glasses to the moon, and some overlook all living beings...

"What an amazing carver."

After Kong Konger saw it clearly, he immediately recognized the craftsmanship of a master and praised: "I didn't expect Li Jing to have such superb stone carving skills. These statues are full of charm."

The stone carvings all depict Taoist gods.

There was one person at the head, nine feet and two inches long, with broad eyebrows, vermilion crown and green eyes. His eyes were square and had two horns. He was wearing a robe of a heavenly master, holding a dragon and tiger seal and a male and female sword. He was the heavenly master and Gaoming who protected the way against demons. The great emperor and the first heavenly master, Zhang Daoling.

The next person has a beautiful appearance, with auspicious colors, wearing a palace skirt, holding a jade talisman and a heavenly book. He is Chenmu Yuanjun, who has been down to earth to help people.

The next person was wearing a black battle robe, with a ferocious face and a mighty posture. He was followed by a ferocious black tiger, who was the ancient underworld god Yu Lei.

Then came the Three Pure Ones, the Ancestor of Xuan Tan, the Jade Emperor, the Three Officials, Fu Lu Shou...

There is no respect for the position of the statues, and the statues have different expressions.

Looking at them one by one, there are some who are kind-hearted, some who are not angry and self-defeating, some who are compassionate, some who are happy, and some who are vicious...

As the candle shadows swayed, the light refracted in the eyes of the statues moved accordingly.

Amber, agate, gold essence, red feather, jade, obsidian...

Different gemstones have different radiance.

The orientation is different, the light and shade are different.

Coupled with the expressions and dim atmosphere, it begins to subtly affect people's minds.

Kong Kong'er only took a few more glances, and suddenly felt a strange feeling.

I feel that these statues raise their hands, raise their feet, and smile, all of which are mysterious and profound.

Unknowingly, he was immersed in it, dancing with his hands and feet, and actually imitated the movements of the statue and started dancing!
Sometimes he is like a great emperor, posing with a sword to conquer demons, sometimes like Empress Chen Mu, raising her hands to fly into the sky...

Xiao Jingxing stood behind Kong Kong'er, watching with cold eyes, not rushing to save him, and murmured: ""Fantasy Soul Formation"..."

These idols are just a cover.

Li Jing only believed in the principles and righteousness of the world, and had no idea about the teachings of gods and Buddhas.

What he borrowed was their charm and posture, their influence on the minds of ordinary people, and what he set up was his own formation - the position of the statues in the secret room, the length of the passage, the light and darkness of the fire, the posture and expression, and even the use of each pair of eyes of each statue. The materials are all carefully arranged, so that the subtle changes in color and light, the ups and downs of emotions, are fascinating!

Xiao Jingxing noticed the problem at the first glance when he came down, and hurriedly looked away, not to watch, so he didn't fall for it.

The purpose of "Phantom Soul Formation" is not to hurt people, but to make people retreat from difficulties.

When people on the surface see their companion holding a torch and dancing at the end of the passage, they will naturally find the problem and wake him up, and the formation will naturally break down. However, if they do not know the instructions, even if they knock down the secret room and destroy all the statues, they still cannot find him. When you get to the location where the treasure is hidden, the original layout will be ruined and the treasure will be completely buried in the loess.

Therefore, Song Suchen knew something was wrong but still did not move.

The treasures hidden by Li Jing are only for the descendants of the Three Heroes. Others cannot find them without guidance.

The key lies in the second sentence.

"'Jingyang bows his head, his life hangs by a thread'..."

Xiao Jingxing quickly scanned the statues and saw a statue at the very back. It was a Taoist priest in silk clothes and a plain crown, holding a sword. He bowed his head slightly, stepped on a dragon, looked at the dragon's head, and made a gesture of stabbing the sword. He was extraordinary in spirit. .

Xu Xun, Xu Jingyang.

One of the four great heavenly masters of Taoism.

Xiao Jingxing smiled slightly and said calmly: "Found it."
