Taoism moves mountains

Chapter 184 Weird Shrine

The five people once again moved forward fully armed and had to be careful.

The corridor was still dark and deep. The footsteps of Jiang Yang and the others were light, but the echoes were still very clear.

"Brother Jiang Yang, thank you!"

Chen Yukuan suddenly spoke up, which made Jiang Yang feel confused. He couldn't understand why Chen Yukuan, who was in good condition, suddenly thanked him so deeply.
  Even Russula Liang and Xi Gushao became confused.

Without waiting for anyone to ask, Chen Yuguan stopped and continued: "Thank you, brother, for persuading me not to come to the tomb of the King of Dian. Judging from the dangers of this experience, if I had brought someone to visit the tomb, I would probably have let him go." Ling Yimen has suffered heavy losses, and I really want to thank you for this!"

【So this is what happened! 】Everyone who heard it understood.

"You're welcome, one of our own!" Jiang Yang smiled and patted Chen Yuguan's shoulder, then passed in front of him.

"That's right, I'm one of you, so don't get angry." Min Gushao also patted his shoulder when passing him and said lightly.

Chen Yugan smiled knowingly, and then whispered: "I hope there won't be anything more dangerous down there!"

The five people slowly walked down the winding corridor. After walking slowly for about five minutes, they finally saw a stone door.

When they got here, they could already imagine how big this tomb was. It was definitely not small.

"How to open this door?" After experiencing the previous mysterious doors, Min Gushao felt that this door might also be a mechanism door, but there was no obvious mechanism trigger nearby.

The five people searched for it but couldn't find any mechanism.

"Why don't you just push it away?" Hua Ling'er suggested in a somewhat inadequate tone.

"I'll do it!" Jiang Yang took action directly in a dignified manner.

What made everyone confused was that the stone door was pushed open by Jiang Yang like this.

The stone gate is very thick and requires some effort.

Jiang Yang pushed it open and the air in the corridor rushed into it, making a whirring sound.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."

A crisp sound of bells came from inside the tomb!
  Immediately afterwards, there was a "fu" sound, like the sound of a flame suddenly lighting up.

Jiang Yang looked up and saw an ever-bright lamp made of jade, burning with flames.

"Fura!"

"Fura!"

"Fura!"

Three more beeps in a row, and the three ever-lasting lights turned on at the same time.

For a time, the entire tomb was illuminated by four everlasting lamps, allowing people to see clearly.

The tomb is also very spacious, about twenty meters long and wide, and only five meters high.

Each of the four ever-burning lanterns relies on four bluestone pillars that are embraced by one person. There are objects in the center of the four pillars, which are also surrounded by ever-burning lanterns.

The wick of the ever-burning lamp should be made of white phosphorus. With sufficient oxygen, it can function naturally even at room temperature in such an abnormally dry place.

"What is that?" Hua Ling'er asked, pointing to the object in the center of the tomb.

They had already seen clearly that the four ever-burning lamps surrounded a shrine.

It's just that the shrine is very strange. It has no curtains, but has niche doors, and there are four of them, just like a pavilion.

What is placed in the shrine is not a sacred tablet or a spiritual tablet, but an old man riding a golden buffalo.

The five people walked forward and watched carefully.

"This should be the leader of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun Tongtian." Min Gushao said with certainty.

"Is the one riding the golden bull the leader of Tongtian? Are the statue and the golden bull real gold?" Chen Yugan asked rhetorically. If it were all real gold, it would be very developed. It is estimated that it is no less than five tons of gold!
  "It should be the leader of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun Tongtian. The tomb here was built by a Taoist master. This shrine should also be decorated with Taoism." Jiang Yang also said with certainty.

There is no basis for what Jiang Yang said. The culture of the ancient Dian Kingdom was relatively pragmatic, focusing on farming, and the totem naturally respected the cow.

The legendary Saint Tongtian, the leader of Jie Cult, his mount is Kui Niu.

Who is the leader of Tongtian?

He is the leader of Jiejiao, and this status is very prestigious.

His mount, Kui Niu, is a sacred cow with a black body and only one foot. Its horns are as curved as the moon, and there are Tai Chi Bagua marks on its forehead, highlighting the Taoist identity of the leader of Tongtian.

Kui Niu has golden light all over his body and can go up to the sky and into the earth. When it comes into contact with water, it will cause wind and rain.

As the leader of Tongtian Cult is a prominent figure in the Three Realms, his mount will naturally not be of low quality.

The golden bull in the shrine is exactly the same as the description in the legend, so Jiang Yang and Min Gushao are sure that this shrine is dedicated to the Supreme Purity Lingbao Tianzun.

A shrine is a small pavilion where Chinese folk placed statues of Taoist gods and ancestral tablets in the old days.

Shrines vary in size, depending on the width of the temple hall and the number of gods.

The shrine in front of you is a statue shrine. Normally it would be open, with a hanging curtain but no niche door, but now it is too open, with a niche door but no hanging curtain. This makes Jiang Yang and Min Gushao, who know the shrine well, nervous. Frown.

This shrine is so weird!
  The statue niche with a hanging curtain and no niche door represents a very sacred meaning, and mortals cannot be allowed to face the face of the statue directly to show respect.

A statue niche with no curtain and a niche door completely reverses its sacred meaning and is probably an ominous sign.

Jiang Yang's heart rang with alarm, and he immediately said: "Don't look at the statue!"

It's just that it's too late for him to remind you!
  I saw the three of them, Hong Guliang, Chen Yuguan, and Min Gushao, couldn't help but take off their gas masks, kneel in front of the shrine, and then began to kowtow vigorously, making a "bang bang" sound.

And he suddenly felt dizzy, spinning, and his body began to be led by some kind of instructions to kneel down and kowtow. The statue in the shrine seemed to come to life, forcing him with a powerful momentum.

It's just that Jiang Yang has awakened 20% of the Mingfeng bloodline, and his resistance is several times stronger than ordinary people. He relied on his perseverance not to kneel down and kowtow, and a thought popped into his mind: [Poisoned! 】

He tried his best to turn his head to look at Hua Ling'er, and saw that Hua Ling'er was even worse than him. She had already knelt down on the ground, but she was not completely controlled to kowtow.

I really don’t know what kind of poison can poison them!
  Wearing a gas mask has no effect, maybe very little.

The poison filter of the gas mask is nothing more than special activated carbon. It can resist ordinary toxins, but it may not necessarily have a strong effect on extreme poisons.

Jiang Yang originally thought that he had awakened 20% of the Mingfeng bloodline and should be immune to all poisons, but at this moment he was almost unable to resist.

Jiang Yang, who didn't want to kneel down and kowtow, quickly took out the Baicao Pill and drank it.

You can’t save it at this time!

No matter how valuable the Baicao Pill is, it must be used!

The three of them, Mingushao, had already smashed their foreheads, and blood was flowing out. It was obvious that they kowtowed too piously and with great strength.

Jiang Yang forcibly fed them the Baicao Dan one by one, while he quickly sat down to practice his exercises and refine the medicine.

Hua Ling'er was still a little conscious and felt the entrance of the elixir. Then she also moved it on the ground and used her kung fu to refine the power of the elixir.

The three people who had swallowed the Baicao Pill, although they did not wake up completely, stopped kowtowing and fell weakly to the ground, slowly waiting for their bodies to absorb the power of the Baicao Pill. This was definitely very inefficient.

More than ten minutes later, Jiang Yang opened his eyes. His expression had recovered and he was completely awake.

Without saying a word, he stood up, first extinguished the four ever-burning lamps, and then directly contacted the super energy exchange system to recover them.

Then, he didn't even let go of the statues in the shrine, and the system also recycled them.

He suspected that not only the lamp oil of the ever-burning lamp was poisonous, but also the statue of the god was suspected of being hallucinogenic.
