Yue Guanchao nodded to everyone: "Yes, Uncle Gunizi will definitely resist. Steinhein found out that Gunizi opposed them, and he probably had murderous intentions. These marks of knife cuts are probably where Uncle Gunizi resisted in the first place. trace."
After that, Keli peeled off the clothes around his waist and took out a dagger. He took it out of its sheath and compared the scars next to the mural. The blade was three-edged, and the Y-shaped edge was easy to identify. Just compare the traces of the blade and you'd understand. After understanding the situation, everyone saw that the scars fit perfectly with the edge of the blade, and they understood the situation.
Keli sighed, held the knife and said: "My father and I both have one of these three-edged swords. We got them from an abandoned ancient city. My father said that the material of this knife was from the Sui and Tang Dynasties. If you want some iron, ask a blacksmith to melt it and make two three-edged knives for self-defense."
This kind of knife has three blades and is made of extremely hard iron. It can cut iron like mud and bone like wood. As long as it pierces the skin, it will cause blood to flow profusely. Y-shaped wounds are extremely difficult to heal. It is generally used for self-defense and expulsion. Wild beasts are the best. If they are used to hurt people, it would be a bit too serious, unless they encounter life-and-death enemies.
Song Siyuan thought about the current traces and nodded: "Then it's clear. Uncle Guniz probably stopped Steinhein from stealing cultural relics, so he was targeted by Steinhein's gang of cultural relic dealers. Looking at the traces of the fight here, it should be It’s to the point of life and death.”
After that, she paused: "If our guess is right, then where will Uncle Gunizi be now? He has to live, die, or see corpses. Let's search the temple first, maybe we can still find something. Other cases."
Then, they began to search for traces of human activities along the left and right side halls. After searching all the halls and courtyards, everyone's doubts became even greater.
Song Siyuan looked around and said: "It's strange why there are no traces of Uncle Gunizi, not even signs of fighting or bleeding. Or is it that Uncle Gunizi is not dead, or there is something we can't find. .”
Taoist Wang looked around and reminded: "Either they buried Gunizi's body, or Gunizi's body is not here, but is in some space where we cannot find it."
Keli nodded: "Judging from the traces of their fight, since they have already used three-edged stabs, it is impossible for there to be no bloodshed at all. Perhaps, the traces we see are where the fight first started, where they killed my father." The venue is not in the temple, but somewhere else."
Wang Yuanlu's eyes lit up when Keli mentioned this: "Could it be that there is some kind of underground palace or niche here?"
When they came, they had already discovered Tubo pagodas and niches in a certain decaying city. Temples were widely spread in Secret Orchid City, and there were also many Tubo temples. Since this temple integrated the Buddhist culture of the Tubo people, It should also have absorbed the structure of the underground palace niche.
Song Siyuan nodded: "It's possible, we have to look carefully in the nooks and crannies, maybe we can really find traces of the underground palace."
Keli realized this, picked up the three-edged thorn in his hand, and gradually restored Gunizi's holding direction according to the direction of the three-edged thorn. These holding angles were like continuous martial arts moves, approaching along the direction of the mural. The Buddhist altar in the center finally stopped at the altar, leaving the last knife mark.
Everyone followed his behavior and noticed the Buddhist altar in the center.
The lotus platform at the bottom of this Buddhist altar is at the same level as their waists. Including the Buddha statue sitting cross-legged, it has reached ten meters high, almost as high as the caisson.
Observe carefully, you can see that a niche with extremely smooth lines is cut out on the back of this Buddha statue. The top is hollowed out directly from the bottom of the main hall, directly forming a lotus-shaped Buddhist niche with a sharp top and a wide bottom. The Buddha statue is located on the lotus platform inside the niche, facing the main hall. Sitting upright on the porch.
When they had just observed the prayer temple, they had discovered that the style of the temple was mixed. The appearance of this Buddha statue was also different from that of the Han Buddha statue. There were two other slightly smaller painted Buddha heads on the left and right sides of the main Buddha head, which were attached to the left and right ears. , facing different directions.
Each of these Buddha heads has a solemn appearance, with black buns on the two sides of the Buddha's head. The main Buddha head in the middle wears a crown on the black bun. This crown is shaped like a flower group and a vine, composed of gold plates and vines, and is extremely exquisite in imitation of flowers and plants. At the same time, on the highest bun, there is also an imitation of the golden-roofed white pagoda in Tibet, with a pagoda-style hat top inserted, making it towering, gorgeous and extremely extravagant!
The faces of the three Buddha heads are ruthless and compassionate. They can be called compassionate or ruthless. They always squint their eyes and look blankly in different directions.
Looking down, you can see that they are wearing necklaces and colorful clothes, holding dharma seals with their hands, and sitting upright with divine power. Their slightly plump and strong bodies have completely lifted up their clothes and piled them up under their feet to form a very real curved texture. Behind him, thousands of hands and arms holding treasures appeared, shaped like the diffuse light of the Buddha, waving at different angles.
Wang Yuanlu looked at the painted Buddha statue and explained: "This kind of Buddha statue should have come from Tianzhu to the Western Regions. At the same time, it has integrated the characteristics of the Tibetan Buddha and the characteristics of the Three Body Buddha of the Central Plains. It is a fused Buddha statue. Could it be that, Is there a dark room under this Buddha statue?"
No one knew the situation, so Yue Guanchao had no choice but to jump onto the Buddhist platform and walk from the front to the back of the three-headed Buddha. This place was already deep into the niche. Except for the thousands of hands and arms behind the Buddha, the surface of the stone wall was all carved with auspicious patterns, and there was no trace of anything. signs of agency.
Keli jumped onto the Buddhist altar: "The traces of my father's three-edged sword disappeared near the Buddhist altar. This means that he must have ended up near the Buddha statue. There must be some mechanism here."
After that, Keli began to explore everywhere in the Buddha statue. After a lot of trouble, they had checked every part of the Buddha statue. Except for the completely flat position, they had to shake and twist every three-dimensional component to determine whether it was a hidden thing.
However, after all this effort, he still gained nothing.
Everyone had to consider that maybe they had entered some misunderstandings and completely misunderstood the meaning of these traces.
Song Siyuan lowered her head to look at the traces of the Buddhist altar. When she lowered her head, she could clearly see that there was a gap between the Buddhist altar and the ground. This gap was too small and could not be found if you just looked closely.
When she noticed this, her eyes lit up and she said: "The Buddha statue relies on the base to maintain stability. If there is a gap under the base, it means that the structure that maintains the stability of the Buddha statue is not the platform. Then, what really maintains the stability of the Buddha statue is Only the niche and the Thousand Hands are left behind him. This structure itself is extremely special. I guess the mechanism is below the table."
After that, Song Siyuan tried to push the countertop with her hands. The huge countertop obviously couldn't be pushed by the weak force and remained motionless. Keli looked at the countertop carefully and didn't understand what was going on until he saw bloody fingerprints on the dharma seal on the hand of the sitting Buddha. .
He walked to the table and twisted the wrist of the sitting Buddha. With just a flip of his wrist, he saw that the sitting Buddha and the table began to hum and retreat. It did not stop until a one-meter square tunnel was formed on the ground.
Everyone lowered their heads and took a closer look. Looking from the direction where the stairs extended, it was probably an underground palace located under the palace.
