Chapter 1375 The secret passage and the thousand-armed bronze statue
There was no air current or stench of corpses as expected behind the broken shrine cave.
It was dark behind the cave. When I looked closer with the torch, I saw a bronze door behind the cave.
The bronze door is covered with yellow symbols, and in front of the door stands a bronze statue of a thousand-armed god as tall as a man.
The thousand-armed bronze statue sits cross-legged on a lotus throne, with runes carved all over its body. Careful inspection reveals that it is the same as those yellow runes and incantations, but the most eye-catching thing is the image of the thousand-armed statue.
They are spread out densely, each holding a handprint, like a peacock spreading its tail or two Ganoderma lucidum growing on the back, with the Dharma image lowering its eyebrows solemnly.
The world always says that the Bodhisattva's low eyebrows are compassionate to the six realms, but the low eyebrows of this thousand-armed bronze statue have an indescribable sense of absurdity and weirdness.
It is strange to say that since entering the cave under the altar, Jin An found that his spiritual consciousness was ineffective.
It seems like there is something here that can suppress spiritual consciousness.
This was also the main reason why he didn't realize there was a secret passage here at first.
Zhang Zhuzhu's eyes were not on the statue. At this moment, he was focused on staring behind the statue, with eagerness and desire in his eyes, so he did not notice anything unusual about the statue in front of him.
Jin An has been fighting these evil gods and wild gods for a long time. Precisely because he knows that these evil gods and wild gods cannot be underestimated, he always pays special attention to them.
He quickly saw where the weird and weird feeling came from.
The eyes are lowered and the eyebrows are lowered, and the corners of the eyes are different from the narrow and long ones of ordinary people. Therefore, when the statue makes the action of lowering the eyes and eyebrows, it will give people the illusion that it is quietly squinting at outsiders from the corners of its eyes.
Seeing that success was imminent, Zhang Zhuzhu was eager to collect the corpse. He no longer cared about the statue. After clasping his hands and bowing briefly, he planned to go around behind the statue and push open the bronze door.
Oh--
A sound that sounded like an old man's sick breath sounded suddenly in the cave under the narrow and claustrophobic altar. Because of the claustrophobic space, it felt like there was a person standing next to the ear. It scared people to the core, and the hairs all over their body suddenly exploded, and their skin was goosebumps.
Pimples appeared all over the body.
"Who...who!"
Zhang Zhuzi shuddered, turned his head nervously with his tongue tied, and waved the torch back and forth anxiously in the air.
Because of the violent swing, the fire torch undulated violently, as if it was going to go out at any moment.
The atmosphere at the moment was already weird, and the flickering fire only intensified the huge ups and downs of people's hearts, making people suspicious and panicked.
But apart from him and Jin An, there was no third person in the narrow and claustrophobic environment.
"Taoist Master Jin'an, did you hear that voice just now?" Zhang Zhuzhu felt a creeping chill, and the torch in his hand was still waving back and forth in a disorderly manner, scanning.
"Um."
Jin An nodded and went behind the thousand-armed bronze statue to check.
I noticed that the space between the thousand-armed bronze statue and the bronze door was welded shut with copper liquid.
He stretched out his palm and pressed it against the bronze door. He found that the temperature of the door was lower than normal, and his palm felt very cold to the touch, as if there was a large ice cellar sealed inside the bronze door.
Then, he tried to push the bronze door.
Oh--
The sound of sick breathing rang in their ears again. Jin An and Zhang Zhuzhu heard it clearly this time. The sound was close to them!
Zhang Zhuzhu himself was so frightened by his random thoughts that he jumped up on the spot. He was so nervous that he shouted who, who, who... He was waving the torch even more intensely, and the flame was about to go out at any time.
As you can imagine, there was no one around. The claustrophobic cave was not big and could be seen at a glance. He and Jin An were the only two people here, and there was no third person.
Unless the statues of gods around you are included in the category of humans.
The more people are in this kind of environment, the easier it is for them to have random thoughts. Zhang Zhuzhu subconsciously looked at the Thousand-Armed Bronze God Statue beside him. At this time, he finally noticed the weirdness of the Thousand-Armed Bronze God Statue.
"Taoist Priest Jin'an, how do I feel...this statue has been looking at me..."
"No, no matter which way I stand, God, the statue of God...is always looking at me, and I can't hide away..."
After Zhang Zhuzi changed positions several times, his face turned pale with fear, his heart was beating like a drum, and his hands and feet were so cold under the gaze of the statue.
Jin An was calm throughout the whole process. Only he knew best whether there was a third person here, so he could always keep calm and think.
It can also be attributed to the boldness of talented people.
He has killed dozens of evil gods and wild gods, if not a hundred and eighty, so he can be unafraid of these pretentious tricks.
Jin An was still observing the welds between the bronze door and the bronze statue, and casually explained: "If you pay close attention to the corners of the statue's eyes, you will find that the person who carved the statue deliberately made the corners of the eyes different from ordinary people's, so no matter where you stand,
I feel like someone is always staring at you."
"Why do we always feel that the goat's eyes are evil? The goat's eyes are on both sides of the head. No matter where a person stands, the figure will be reflected in the goat's pupils. The corners of the eyes of this statue are too narrow and long, which is similar to the goat's eyes. The sculptor should have taken this into consideration.
"
Even Zhang Zhuzhu felt it was magical. He was originally frightened and panicked, but after hearing Jin An's explanation, he became extremely convinced and quickly calmed down.
It seems that as long as Jin An is around, he can find a sense of security and can survive no matter how desperate the situation is.
He couldn't tell where this sense of security came from, but he only knew that he trusted Jin An very much.
At this time, Jin An tried to push the bronze door again, haha——
The strange sound appeared again, just like the previous two times, still ringing in my ears.
Zhang Zhuzhu was much calmer this time and said in surprise: "The sound came from the statue. Could it be that there is a person locked inside the statue?"
Jin An sneered and said, "That's not necessarily the case."
"Not all weird things in this world are related to strange powers and chaotic gods. Most of the time, people scare themselves. The weirdness that happened here should be a clever design of mechanism technology."
Next, Jin An pushed the door several times, and there were strange noises every time, which further confirmed that his guess was correct.
Humph, Jin An snorted, and the sharp sword light directly split open the connection between the Thousand-Armed Bronze God Statue and the bronze door. Boom, the statue fell to the ground, revealing several cleverly designed small holes on its back.
There are similar small holes on the bronze door, which exactly match the statue of the god.
This time I pushed the bronze door again, and sure enough, there was no strange noise anymore, and there was a burst of air blowing out from behind the small hole in the bronze door.
The air current was freezing cold.
"Taoist Master Jin An, you are truly a god, you know everything and can do everything!"
Zhang Zhuzhu was shocked: "Taoist Master Jin'an, how did you know that there is an agency here?"
The ingenuity of this mechanism is that when someone tries to push the door, the pressure behind the door is different from the pressure outside the door, and air will blow out, and then pass through the cavity in the statue, making a weird anthropomorphic sound, which makes people suspicious and hesitant to move forward.
.
This is what people often say is just the last step.
Most people in this world are often just one step away from success.
This level tests the human heart.
After Jin An successfully stepped forward, he was welded to death without the Thousand-Armed Bronze God Statue. This time he successfully pushed the bronze door open, revealing the secret passage hidden under the altar.
