Endless route

Chapter 382 22. The final level, the Bodhisattva statue

Jidao and the ghost generals retreated to the ancient river. They did not dare to approach the south bank where Zheng Yun was. Instead, they swam to the opposite north bank and went from the fairy gate to the secret realm to wash their bodies clean.

They may be carrying the poisonous frost in the porcelain bottle. Although they did not go to the deepest place, the snake shadow was led from the bottom to the upper level, and the poisonous frost in the porcelain bottle would be stained on their bodies.

Be careful.

Not only was Zheng Yun who was not wearing chemical protective clothing in danger, but they themselves had to be very careful when taking off their chemical protective clothing. Once they were infected by poisonous frost, they would be in big trouble.

The solution is to wash the dilute poisonous cream in the sea, and then clean it thoroughly with Tiangong liquid and modern disinfection equipment.

There is the sea outside the secret hall.

There are few fish swimming in the sea, and there are no people living around. You can wash your hands somewhere without disturbing other people.

after a while.

Ji Dao and others walked out of the immortal gate.

Zheng Yun had enough patience and kept looking at the surveillance screen quietly. He didn't look up until Jidao and the others came out:

"Has it been dealt with?"

"Don't worry, Immortal, it's 100% clean. I asked Hetong to catch the chicken for me. After washing it, I held the chicken and tested it several times. We didn't take off the chemical protective clothing until the chicken died."

Ji Dao patted his chest and said confidently.

This clever idea was something he came up with on his own, but it was a pity that the chickens were poisoned to death for no apparent reason even half a year after they were raised in Tiangong.

"Then let's get started."

Zheng Yun nodded and looked at the screen.

The slender strange umbrella is somewhat different from the previous porcelain vase and jade box. The latter is placed flat on the palm of the Bodhisattva statue and is supported by the palm of the hand, but the strange umbrella is held by the Bodhisattva statue.

The length of the strange umbrella is one and a half meters.

The top is pointed and the bottom is wide, forming a pagoda shape.

The appearance is exactly the same as an ordinary umbrella, but there are some Buddhist decorations hanging on the spine and ends of the ribs.

The erosion of the stagnant water has turned the umbrella surface dark and accumulated a layer of sticky silt. The pattern on the umbrella surface can no longer be seen clearly, including the Buddhist decoration, which is completely unrecognizable.

Zheng Yun conducted a survey during this period and found that the Eight-Armed Bodhisattva has eight palms, four of which are square palms with the palms facing up, and the remaining four palms are held, held, or pinched.

In other words, there are four magical instruments held in the hand, and four magical instruments being held, each of which accounts for exactly half. The direction is also particular, and the magical instruments being held occupy the four square positions.

The status of the hand-held magic weapon is slightly higher.

The level of danger should also be higher.

Zheng Yun had previously doubted whether these magic weapons would be effective hundreds of years later, but at this point, this question no longer needs to be considered, and there is only one answer.

It will definitely take effect.

The ancients left behind these magic weapons, all of which have "extremely long standby times" and can guard the basement for hundreds of years without any problem.

When they entered the lighthouse, the Bodhisattva statue had three magical artifacts left, which showed that in the past few hundred years, no outsider who was not a Tritonian had ever successfully broken into the basement of the lighthouse.

Maybe a thief visited.

But their ability is not enough to pass through the Bodhisattva statue. Five magic weapons can block them all, and they cannot force them to use the last resort.

"Master Immortal, I see that the last magic weapon looks like a kind of Taoist umbrella from my Taoist school, but the Bodhisattva statue is not a Taoist thing. Maybe there is something similar in Buddhism?"

Ji Dao looked at the screen and muttered something.

"Since it can't be identified, let's trigger it first and see the effect." Zheng Yun nodded and let the Yin soldiers take action.

After all, the Bodhisattva statue is a Buddhist statue. It is indeed difficult for Ji Dao, a descendant of Taoism, to identify it.

But regardless of Taoism or Buddhism, the principles of gods, ghosts, and magical weapons are the same, and the Bodhisattva statues were built in the early Triton system. In the Triton system, you can put aside Buddhism and only look at its essence.

"Um."

Ji Dao nodded and sat down.

Zheng Yun began to mobilize his troops, and asked the Yin soldiers in chemical protective suits to come up, holding ropes and other equipment, to cover the last magic weapon in the eight-armed Bodhisattva statue, the slender strange umbrella.

The eight-armed Bodhisattva statue still didn't respond.

The heavily armed Yin soldiers moved sneakily, like cultural relic thieves who came to steal the Oriental Buddha statues. They were cautious for fear of being discovered, and they approached the strange umbrella little by little with a rope.

This operation is very delicate.

The rope loop accurately landed on the strange umbrella, gently tightened the umbrella handle, and was firmly stuck between the umbrella eaves and the Bodhisattva's palm.

"pull."

Zheng Yun raised his hand and ordered.

The Yin soldiers immediately dispersed to the edge, leaving only one Yin soldier holding the rope and one carrying the camera. They then slowly pulled the rope, letting the rope straighten little by little in the water.

Others watched with bated breath.

As the rope was completely tightened, the pulling force in the hands of the Yin soldiers was transferred to the strange umbrella, causing the strange umbrella to slowly begin to move.

Dimensions are in centimeters.

The Yin soldiers pulled up little by little.

The umbrella handle moved up bit by bit, and was gradually pulled out of the palm of the Bodhisattva statue by the Yin soldiers. It took a few minutes to pull out an inch.

Click.

A soft sound.

A certain threshold has been reached.

No one on or off the screen was surprised. It was inevitable that the mechanism would be triggered. They just watched carefully with their eyes wide open.

Wow.

The strange umbrella suddenly opened.

Just like a modern automatic umbrella that can automatically open at the touch of a button, this ancient Buddhist strange umbrella also has a similar function. The umbrella surface suddenly begins to expand and expand.

But it's stuck one after another.

The process of holding an umbrella is not so smooth.

Streams of silt were shaken off with the movement of the umbrella surface, and atomized in the green stagnant water, like smoke rolling away, making the nearby water even more turbid.

The length of the umbrella is one meter and two meters.

The unfolded diameter is two meters four.

Photographer Yin Bing levitated upwards to take a panoramic view of the umbrella, with his body already attached to the ceiling. At the same time, Zheng Yun dispatched several more Yin Bings to take photos of the umbrella from other angles.

"Does a Bodhisattva still need an umbrella?"

Ji Dao suddenly interjected at this moment.

Throughout history, there have been statues of gods of all shapes and sizes, holding knives and swords or carrying magic weapons, but there were very few statues of gods holding umbrellas. Ji Dao couldn't give an example at the moment after thinking about it.

"Watch out for the sludge."

Zheng Yun suspected that the silt had a warning from the poisonous frost in the porcelain bottle. This kind of silt on the umbrella surface was very suspicious.

Maybe it's another kind of poison.

Although it seems a bit strange to use an umbrella to spread poison, you still have to be careful, after all, there are no clues at this time.

When the two are talking.

Other Yin soldiers also arrived, and the cameras were pointed at all sides of the Buddhist strange umbrella. When the mud slowly diluted and spread, the details inside the strange umbrella were clearly displayed.

"This umbrella...has no skeleton?"

Zheng Yun noticed the abnormality immediately.

Any umbrella needs rib support. Without ribs, the umbrella cannot be opened, but this strange umbrella has no ribs, and no support structure can be seen inside the umbrella.

To use a popular metaphor, this umbrella is a wooden stick with a top made of good umbrella skin.

Since there is no umbrella rib.

How does it open automatically?

The only way to achieve a similar effect is to use your fingers to turn the handkerchief, put your fingers on the center of gravity of the handkerchief, rock it back and forth to rotate the handkerchief, and then use angular momentum to flatten the handkerchief.

But the umbrella did not rotate.

It didn't even move.

Could it be that this umbrella has a hidden secret? The ribs are integrated into the interior of the umbrella and are sandwiched between the upper and lower layers of the umbrella. Therefore, the existence of the ribs is not visible from the outside, and the umbrella is beautified?

"Master Immortal, what is engraved on the umbrella handle?"

Ji Dao looked at another detail. After the umbrella surface was opened, the entire umbrella handle was exposed. It was as white as jade and not stained by dust, and it seemed to be engraved with some text patterns.

But the Yin soldiers are still far away from the strange umbrella.

Some of the camera pictures are not clear.

"Move forward." Zheng Yun ordered the Yin soldiers.

"Did any Yin soldiers get into trouble?" Jidao scanned around.

But until this moment, this slender Buddhist umbrella still showed no murderous intent. At least the shadowy soldiers around it were still safe and sound, and they were all suspended in the stagnant water to take real-time photos of the umbrella body.

"Look around."

Zheng Yun asked other Yin soldiers to change directions.

Now they know nothing about the strange umbrella, and they have no idea what kind of killing move it contains, whether it uses poison to kill, summons monsters, or is connected to a mechanism somewhere.

You must remain alert to your surroundings.

At least from the current point of view, this umbrella has not shown enough strength. It can kill all the Yin soldiers with just one umbrella, and no one can escape.

"Sir, this umbrella is evil. It must be a Buddhist umbrella. The patterns on it are also auspicious patterns, but it is really hard to understand that it is placed here."

Noriichi looked carefully at the umbrella handle.

As the Yin soldiers got closer and closer to the strange umbrella, the picture became clearer and they could see clearly what was on the umbrella surface and handle.

The umbrella is painted with Buddhist patterns.

Matching patterns are also carved on the umbrella handle.

Ji Dao didn't know the meaning of these patterns in Buddhism, but after all, he had read many ancient books and knew that these patterns had no evil meaning and were still based on the theme of peace and tranquility.

"There seems to be no movement around."

Zheng Yun glanced around and wondered.

The depths of the entire lighthouse remained dead silent, and the green water curtain was motionless. The Yin soldiers could not hear any sounds, nor could they see the slightest phenomenon, as if nothing had ever happened.

The only change is the umbrella.

The umbrella that was originally closed in the palm of the Bodhisattva statue was completely unfolded in the green stagnant water. It is two meters in diameter and has 24 sharp corners extending like a lotus flower quietly blooming.

The silt slowly disperses.

The umbrella surface is getting cleaner and cleaner

The material of this umbrella seems to be the skin of some kind of creature. It was covered with mud before, but now it is so clean that it is not stained by dust, and the colors of the Buddhist patterns are becoming more vivid and rich.

After looking at it for a long time, I felt a little dizzy.

These patterns have some hallucinogenic properties.

The searchlight shines on the umbrella surface, and the entire umbrella surface emits golden light from top to bottom. There are really "thousands of Buddha's lights" refracting in all directions, as if there are sequins hidden in the pattern to reflect light.

The golden light spread out in all directions and was very penetrating. The green stagnant water was golden, and the Bodhisattva statue and the Yin soldiers were all illuminated.

But there are still no other abnormalities, which can only prove that this Buddhist umbrella is a treasure, with a sophisticated structure but unknown means.

"Master Immortal, why don't you take it out and try it?"

Jidao couldn't wait for the killing move, and he couldn't figure out the origin and path of the Buddha Umbrella, so he took the initiative to change his path.

They have now lost ten Yin soldiers, and they won't be too distressed if they suffer more damage. Instead of waiting, they might as well take action directly, and maybe they can actually trigger the mechanism.

"Do you think that ordinary thieves would dare to move the umbrella after triggering the seismograph mechanism and causing the umbrella to unfold?"

Zheng Yun followed Ji Dao's thoughts.

This umbrella is really strange. The ancients had an old rule not to hold an umbrella at home, but this umbrella not only unfolded deep underground, but also unfolded at the bottom of an ancient river.

The ancient lighthouse was not flooded.

It should be empty below.

If there were ancient thieves entering this place, the sight they would see would be a Buddha umbrella spread out ten meters above their heads in the depths of the dry and dark lighthouse.

The thief stood under the umbrella.

Do they dare to go up and pull out this umbrella?

It may be very low. Unless you are a poor and crazy man, who would dare to touch this umbrella rashly? Therefore, pulling out the umbrella should not trigger the mechanism, and the ancients would not make unnecessary preparations.

"If I were to set fire to it."

Ji Dao put himself into the thief and gave the answer.

"..." Zheng Yun was silent for a moment, thought for a while, and then made another arrangement: "Don't float in the air, go under the umbrella and see if anything happens."

At this moment, Zheng Yun was not sure whether the killer move of Buddha Umbrella was actually revealed, whether it was blocked by the chemical protective suit, whether it was unable to take effect on the Yin soldiers, or whether he was 'unable to see' it.

The Yin soldiers took action and sank to the feet of the Bodhisattva statue, preparing to imitate the ancient thieves. They looked up at the Buddha umbrella ten meters away to see what the purpose of this Buddha umbrella was.

Bang.

Sudden changes occur.

One of the Yin soldiers actually hit the Bodhisattva statue directly. The camera hit the Bodhisattva hard, causing the whole statue to shake slightly and a large amount of mud fell from the body.

This time it hit hard.

Contrary to everyone's expectations.

"Master Xian, are you okay?"

Ji Dao frowned and looked at Zheng Yun.

How could the Immortal Lord make such a stupid mistake when he ordered the Yin soldiers to run like arms? The Yin soldiers could even hit the wall while walking. Could it be that the Buddha Umbrella's method has quietly harmed the Immortal Lord?

Several dozen meters apart.

How is the Buddha Umbrella made?

"It's not me. The eyes of the Yin soldiers seem to be blind. I asked them to swim to the feet of the statue, but they were running around, not knowing where the statue was."

"They were running around at the same time. When I realized something was wrong, I asked them to speed up and retreat to avoid the Bodhisattva statue, but this Yin soldier accelerated forward and still hit it."

Zheng Yun's expression was solemn.

The general direction of the Yin Soldier is usually controlled by him, but the detailed instructions need to be done by the Yin Soldier himself, such as finding a path when settling into position, crouching down when hiding, etc.

They can do it all too.

Not only the instinct is still there.

But because of this, Zheng Yun could only discover problems with Yin Bing's eyes or senses when given detailed instructions. Under normal circumstances, he really didn't know anything happened to Yin Bing.

There was indeed something wrong with Yin Bing at this moment. He was either blind or lost his sense of direction. He even fell into some kind of hallucination and could no longer see the eight-armed Bodhisattva statue in front of him.

Although hallucinated or blinded, the Yin soldiers were still able to receive orders, which resulted in them hitting the Bodhisattva statue.

"But we're fine."

Ji Dao stared at the screen and blinked.

"Maybe you can only feel it on site. The camera only captures the light and nothing else."

Zheng Yun rubbed his forehead and guessed.

If this is the case, it is really difficult to deal with. The Yin soldiers are indeed not dead, but they are almost dead. If it were an ancient thief, he would never be able to get out.

This Buddha umbrella is really amazing.

An umbrella opened at the site after hundreds of years could actually turn the place into a prison, causing all the Yin soldiers in the site to lose their senses, like headless flies scurrying under the water.

"Master Immortal, you should listen to me and find a way to pull out this umbrella and close it, and then everything will be over."

Ji Dao immediately said after hearing this.

But at this moment, the mutation occurred again.

Rumble...Rumble...Rumble...

Waves of vibrations sounded from several tablets at the same time. The sound was dull and steady, as if some kind of large mechanism was activated, and Zheng Yunjidao couldn't even tell where the source was.

It's not a perspective effect at all.

But all perspectives are ringing.

All the Yin soldiers deep in the lighthouse heard the same sound, and the video screen shook slightly at the same time, which meant that the sound of this mechanism was majestic and affected the entire lighthouse.

"No, it's a statue of Bodhisattva."

Zheng Yun quickly switched to the perspective of the Bodhisattva statue.

The Yin soldiers just hit the Bodhisattva statue, and the camera hit it hard. How could it be that this hit was in vain.

The mechanism of the Bodhisattva statue is activated.

This time, it was probably not the magical weapon in the hands of the Eight-Armed Bodhisattva Statue, but the entire mechanism of the Bodhisattva Statue guarding the basement, which was triggered in advance by the collision of the Yin soldiers.

Big trouble.

The mechanism of the entire Bodhisattva statue is definitely not at the level of a magical weapon, but the last level of the entire lighthouse basement. Its killing moves are more powerful and more difficult to crack.

The Buddha Umbrella has not yet been resolved.

The Bodhisattva statue moved in advance.

This is never a good thing.
