Chapter 162 [161] Ancient temple doubts

Click!

The stone door that had been covered in dust for an unknown number of years suddenly opened a crack.

Suddenly a thick smoke billowed in, and a group of four people standing outside the stone gate quickly dodged to the side to prevent the poisonous smoke from being inhaled into the lungs.

Woo!Woo!Woo!
The wind from the inside of the ancient temple rubbed against the crack of the door to make a howling sound. It can be seen that in the thick smoke, people wrapped in black robes staggered out of the door, mixed in the strong wind.

The four of them couldn't help but widen their eyes immediately, how could there be someone?
However, within five steps, these black-robed men fell to the ground one after another, and the wind blew the robes on them, revealing the situation under the robes.

They were all skeletons that had been dried and yellowed for many years.

After about half a stick of incense, all movements slowly stopped, and the surroundings returned to calm again.

"This ancient temple has been closed for many years, and the internal grievances linger in the darkness all year round. We will vent the feng shui inside the ancient temple, which is equivalent to breaking the evil spirit. You don't have to worry." A strong man took out a feng shui plate said comfortingly.

"Brother, but I still think it's weird. Is this really the place where the rich monk Fu Gongbao practiced, as the rumors say." The thin young man standing behind the strong man asked mutteringly.

His name is Wang Chengze, and he is a treasure hunter among the people of Yangzhou Prefecture. He is good at fetching things with flying claws, climbing cliffs and climbing dangerous slopes, digging holes, and digging deep into the ground. He is a first-class treasure hunter.

The strong man in front of him is called Luo Changbao, who knows a little about geomantic surveying, but is actually a martial artist with internal strength. His favorite thing to do is trek across mountains and rivers to search for treasures.

There was a man and a woman standing on the other side of the gate of the ancient temple. The man's name was Dong Xing and he knew some medical skills, and the woman's name was Hong Moli.

These three people are the treasure hunting team that Luo Changbao recruited and formed. They run around a lot on weekdays and have extremely rich experience.

Once in Jiangnan martial arts, there were three famous weirdo brothers.

Their real names have long been forgotten, and others only know the famous nicknames of these three people.

Rich man, rich man, treasure monk.

These three are all well-known masters in the world, but what is more impressive than their strength is their greed for money.

These three people are willing to do as long as it is related to making money or even detached, and they have accumulated a large amount of wealth over time.

How huge this wealth is, no one knows. When the rich man, the rich man, and the treasure monk were old and seventy, they retired from the world and were never born again.

The people in the Jianghu only know that they are hiding somewhere in the south of the Yangtze River, and they have hidden all their wealth savings in the place of practice. If anyone can find this place and find that huge amount of gold and silver, they can become Jiangnan's treasure overnight. richest man.

Regarding this rumor, Luo Changbao has been secretly investigating this rumor since he entered the treasure hunting business. Some people think it is false, and some are dubious.

And Luo Changbao is the alternative that [-]% believes in. After years of investigation and information collection, Luo Changbao finally found clues, searched for these clues, and finally led the members of his treasure hunting team to find it today. This deserted ancient temple hidden in the deep mountains and old forests.

He was very sure in his heart that this place must be the place where the three of them practiced and died of old age, and the wealth accumulated by the three of them throughout their lives was hidden in this ancient temple, quietly waiting for the next master to appear.

Seeing that his companions looked very cautious, Luo Changbao took out the large fire folder that he carried with him, opened the lid and blew hard.

"I'll go first to explore the way, you guys hurry up and follow." Luo Changbao pulled the silk mask around his neck to the bridge of his nose, and walked directly into the door.

Seeing that he had put himself to the test, the other three were still willing to stay where they were. After covering their faces with air-tight masks one by one, they followed Luo Changbao's footsteps into the ancient temple.

I don't know how long it has passed, the copper bell with a few inches of dust hanging on the highest point of the ancient temple suddenly rang by itself, and the gloomy bell echoed in the deep mountains, and it lasted for a long time.

There is no light in the pitch-black ancient temple, and it is all illuminated by the torches in the hands of Luo Changbao and others.

Once you enter the gate, you will see a lobby surrounded by walls on all sides. There are no tables, chairs, or stairs. It is very empty and clean.

In the four corners of the lobby, there are four tall stone statues of unknown material. They hold iron hooks and scissors in both hands, and are covered in iron chains.

Generally, places where such ugly stone statues are placed are more or less respectful of rules. Luo Changbao, who knows a little about Feng Shui, couldn't help but feel very puzzled for a while.

"Brother, this place seems to be this big. There are no doors, windows, stairs, and the top beam is empty. Could it be that there is a secret passage or something?" Dong Xing said.

"Go and check around first to see if there are any secret passages or the like. Be careful. The rich man, the rich man, and the treasure monk are rumored to be three strange people. They built ancient temples here, and they may not be for cultivation. Instead, it will be given to my own mountain tomb after death." Luo Changbao reminded.

The other three people immediately looked serious. Originally, they hadn't thought about it so much, but now that Luo Changbao said it, it was not impossible.

So the four immediately searched around in the lobby, trying to find some valuable discoveries.

Among the three companions, Luo Changbao is actually the only woman Hong Moli who is most optimistic about. This woman is proficient in mechanism skills and her vision is different from ordinary people. It is easier to find some details that others can't think of.

Sure enough, when Luo Changbao and the others were about to give up after the time of a stick of incense with nothing to gain, finally there was movement from Hong Moli's side.

"Brother, come here and have a look."

Everyone cheered up, and ran towards Hong Moli's place one after another.

I saw Hong Moli squatting next to a triangular irregular floor tile, and as she held a short-handled shovel in her hand and inserted it along the edge of the tile, she immediately pried up the tile.

Then, under the floor tiles, there was a rusty iron box.

Hong Moli looked up at Luo Changbao.

"Crack it, be careful there are traps inside." Luo Changbao warned.

Hong Moli directly pulled out her hairpin, twisted off the second half, and a few wires appeared in her hands in an instant.

The lock of the iron box did not escape the ravages of time. When Hong Moli inserted the wire into the keyhole, she felt great resistance. Fortunately, she was very skillful and she operated it skillfully.

Suddenly there was a sound of 'click', and the lid of the box automatically popped open instantly. Luo Changbao's expression changed, and he grabbed Hong Moli who was still squatting next to the iron box and hid aside.

However, the imaginary trap did not appear. Wang Chengze looked at a palm-sized copper token in the iron box and said, "Brother, there is no danger, there is something in the box."

Hong Moli couldn't help wiping the cold sweat off her forehead. She didn't react at all when the incident happened suddenly. If there was really a trap or something, without Luo Changbao's help, she would have died tragically on the spot.

"This thing..." Looking at the copper coin token in the box, Luo Changbao suddenly fell into thought, as if he had seen this thing somewhere.

"Hey, just now I saw a round hole groove on the wall over there, and the size fits well with this." Wang Chengze said.

Everyone was refreshed, as if it was true. After searching for so long in the lobby just now, they naturally found the existence of the round hole groove.

Luo Changbao said: "Xiao Wang, bring this thing over and take it to that wall for a try."

"Yes." Wang Chengze took out the flying claws worn around his waist, and directly grabbed the copper coin token out of the iron box.

Nothing happened, very calm.

It seems that there are no organs on this copper coin token.

Everyone walked to the wall with a round hole groove, and as Luo Changbao put on the golden silk gloves that could insulate any poison, he picked up the copper coin token and stuffed it into the groove.

Nothing happened.

"Is it useless?" Wang Chengze scratched his head in wonder.

"Brother, try turning it a few times." Hong Moli reminded.

Luo Changbao nodded and followed suit.

Immediately, there was the sound of rattling gears in the wall, and with the roar in the lobby, a long crack appeared in the wall in the eyes of everyone, and then slowly separated towards the left and right sides.

Boom!Boom!
Dust and smoke billowed, and a strange smell rushed over.

This is the rotten smell and musty smell that has been deposited for an unknown number of years.

Everyone quickly held their breath and retreated quickly, trying to distance themselves from the separating wall.

After running about seven or eight zhang away, everyone stopped, looking solemnly at the wall that had been opened to its limit.

"Brother, there is something wrong with the situation of this ancient temple. Looking at the multiple partitions, it really looks like a mausoleum." Hong Moli said with a very serious expression.

"The wealth of a rich man, rich man, and Monk Bao is definitely in it." Luo Changbao said so, but there was an inexplicable depression in his heart.

As a person who has been hunting for treasures for many years, he knows that the word greed is the most taboo in this industry.

Many treasure hunters would lose their 'life' because of 'greed', and the current situation in this ancient temple is really beyond Luo Changbao's imagination.

Except for the skin of the ancient temple, the interior of the building has nothing to do with the ancient temple at all, it is completely deceptive.

"Go, go out first." Luo Changbao said decisively, gritting his teeth.

But at this moment, the gates of the ancient temple merged abruptly without leaving any gaps, and the moonlight shining in from outside the gates also disappeared immediately, and the entire hall instantly became pitch black, all thanks to the torch in the hands of Luo Changbao and the others. Folding lighting.

boom!boom!boom!boom!
In the passage behind the wall, there was a deafening sound of footsteps, and it was suspected that something was coming out of it, and the speed was not slow.

Everyone tensed up immediately. At this moment, the firelight in their hands was so small and weak that it could not illuminate the distant place at all. Instead, because they were near the only light source in the dark, the four of Luo Changbao immediately became The most conspicuous presence in the audience.

boom!
Suddenly, the footsteps stopped.

There was a dead silence in the dark lobby.

No one dared to make a sound, and all of them held their breaths and dared not breathe. Everyone knew that the thing that came out of the passage must be watching them quietly in the darkness.

The horror of being peeped instantly lingered in everyone's body.

Boom boom boom!
Dong Xing's hands trembled violently, and he could clearly hear the sound of his heartbeat coming from his chest. Before Luo Changbao spoke, he didn't dare to move at all, and could only stare at the passage with his eyes fixed. The direction in which to prevent that thing from approaching.

Swish!
In an instant, a pale and thin face suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, the other's eyes were empty, there were no eyeballs in the eye sockets at all, but the cracked lips smiled so eeriely and strangely, one couldn't help but feel heartbroken. With a jump, his whole body trembled instantly.

"what!!!"

A scream suddenly resounded, Luo Changbao and others hurriedly heard the sound and looked around, only to see Dong Xing being dragged by a white shadow and disappearing into the darkness, and the firefoil in his hand fell to the ground, and after a while the flames It dimmed down, almost no effect of continuing to illuminate.

"Dong Xing! Dong Xing!"

"Where are you, Dong Xing?"

Luo Changbao pulled out the saber at his waist in the blink of an eye, and rushed to where Dong Xingben was standing, but there were no traces of people around, and there was darkness where he couldn't see his fingers.

"Dong Xing!" Luo Changbao wandered around angrily, but found nothing. Dong Xing completely disappeared in the lobby as if he had evaporated from the world.

Live without people, dead without corpses.

"Brother, could he have been caught in there?" Wang Chengze ran over in a panic holding a torch, pointing in the direction of the wall just now.

There is no need to think about it at all, it must be so undoubtedly.

Luo Changbao's face was gloomy. He never thought that the enemy would appear so silently. Just now, the distance between Dong Xing and him was only ten feet away, but in the blink of an eye, he was taken away and disappeared behind him. in front of you.

"You all stay close to me, don't let any more accidents happen, let's go to the gate first, see if we can find a way to reopen the gate, and after sending you two out, I will come back to search and rescue Dong Xing. " Luo Changbao said in a low voice.

At present, no one knows what the thing hidden in the darkness is. Wang Chengze and Hong Moli are no different from Dong Xing in strength. If they stay here, even if something happens again, Luo Changbao will not be able to protect them.

So the most important thing right now is to send these two people to a safe place. Luo Changbao doesn't want to see any accidents happen again.

The three of them walked back to back and quickly walked towards the gate, but at this moment, the huge footsteps from before suddenly sounded again.

boom! boom! boom!
Luo Changbao could clearly feel that voice approaching him and the others.

Suddenly, a huge figure appeared in the darkness beyond the firelight.
