Chapter 254: Seeing the Empress again
Although Yang Ni and the others speculated that this space was a crack in the Niangniang Temple, in fact, it was a very concrete existence.
However, compared with other places in the Niangniang Temple, the ground and walls here are all black stone slabs, with a few oil lamps embedded on the walls, swaying dim lights.
However, in such a space, a dazzling light suddenly appeared, and anyone knows what to do.
The group of four walked carefully towards the light.
The spider still held Yang Ni's silver sword. According to her, she had prepared weapons for herself, but as long as Zhuzhu controls her body, these weapons will always disappear inexplicably. It seems that for Zhuzhu, the men around her are the best weapons.
It is also the most unreliable weapon.
Helplessly, Yang Ni had to hold the golden shield tightly in his hand. In this way, his role as a flesh shield was confirmed.
Fortunately, although the cookie's mental power has returned to its original state, she has accumulated a lot of mental power by relying on the effect of "death elegy" when she killed the corpse before. Now two fireballs have condensed and are in an excited state at any time.
After walking not far, my vision suddenly became wider.
This is a circular space, about the size of two basketball courts. Although the surrounding area is still black floors and black walls, there is no barrier on the top of the head, it is just black, as if the light is swallowed up as soon as it reaches there.
What emits light is that there is an oil lamp every two meters on the wall.
This oil lamp is extremely large and can almost be described as a "basin". The fire is bright and occasionally sways slightly.
The strangest thing is that after entering here, the pungent smell of the Chinese medicine burning outside disappeared. The fresh air even made several people who were accustomed to this smell feel a little uncomfortable and sneezes unconsciously.
Yang Ni was a little strange. Before, whether it was in the altar of the corpse or the secret room of the Ten Stone Beast, this smell was almost everywhere, and even lingered at the nose before entering this circular room, but after just taking a step forward, there was no trace of smell.
Things are a bit abnormal.
"Brother Yang, look there, it seems there is something." The cookie's voice interrupted Yang Ni's thoughts.
Yang Ni looked up and saw that, sure enough, there was a stone statue more than one person on the other end opposite the entrance.
The four of them looked at each other and leaned over carefully.
This is a stone statue about 1.7 meters high. It should look like a female Bodhisattva. Like most Buddha statues, she is in a sitting position, with a round and plump face, compassionate and solemn.
To say different things, the face of this Buddha statue does not look like other common Buddha statues, but the corners of the mouth, the tips of the eyebrows, and the eyes are slightly closed, as if they are examining a certain kind of great sorrow.
You must not see the Buddha statue, and immediately kneel down cross-legged and recite it continuously.
The cookie's heart was not much heavier than that. She turned around the Buddha statue and said to Yang Ni, "Brother Yang, do you think this Bodhisattva is familiar?"
Yang Ni knew that she must have some meaning when she said this, so he thought about it carefully and replied, "I don't think it's familiar. Just looking at her appearance, can it be the Queen of the Ceiling in the mural?"
The Ceiling Empress in the mural of the side hall only occupies a very small part of the picture, and the walls are mottled and cannot be seen clearly, so Yang Ni dared not assert.
Cookie nodded: "Do you still remember that there were three statues of Bodhisattvas in the middle of that side hall."
Yang Ni pondered for a moment and replied, "I remember, the three clay-fetal Buddha statues were all severely damaged, especially the one in the middle, even their heads fell off."
Cookie looked back at the Buddha statue and replied, "That's right. But do you know that when I first saw this Buddha statue, it gave me the same feeling as the headless Buddha statue in the side hall."
Yang Ni frowned. There were indeed one, two, three clay Buddha statues in the side hall at that time. Judging from their posture and placement, the one in the middle should be a Bodhisattva, and the one on both sides was a golden boy and a jade girl. Unfortunately, the Buddha statue in the middle was so broken that it could not be seen at all.
But the spiritual sea of cookies was still there at that time. Although the Buddha statue was incomplete, she could still clearly sense the complete existence of this Buddha statue in her spiritual consciousness, just as if there was a Bodhisattva sitting cross-legged there.
It is precisely because of this that when she first saw the Buddha statue in front of her, she immediately remembered the one she had seen before.
As if to prove to Yang Ni that he was not wrong, Cookie tiptoed to her tiptoe and stretched out her little hand and gently swept the dust on the face of the Buddha statue.
Yang Ni was shocked. They had not escaped danger yet. Such a strange stone statue appeared here for no reason, which made him more or less wary, fearing that there would be danger.
But Cookie is a person who is not afraid of big trouble and wants to touch everything.
Yang Ni quickly spoke and reminded: "Be careful with biscuits!"
Cookie's hand had already touched the matter's face, and was shocked by Yang Ni's shout.
She didn't know what was going on, and kept her body still, her neck slowly twisted back, and said strangely: "Brother Yang, what's wrong?"
The spider looked around for a long time. When she saw that the cookie had touched the stone statue, but there was no accident, she felt relieved and sneered: "Hmph, the silly girl doesn't understand this. Your brother Yang is caring for you."
As she said that, she also reached out her hand and patted the stone statue's arm gently.
The cookie blushed and said, "No, sister Spider, don't talk nonsense."
But as he said this, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Yang Ni, as if he wanted to find something in his face.
Before Yang Ni could react, he heard the spider lower his voice and exclaimed: "Hey, this Buddha statue is actually soft!"
When Cookie heard this, she carefully stretched out a finger and pointed the Buddha's face slightly hard.
Sure enough, this part of the Buddha statue was pressed down a small part, but as the cookie loosened his fingers, it quickly bounced back.
Yang Ni's heart moved. He knew that there was a kind of Buddha statue in Buddhism made of the Dharma body left by the monk after his death, but this kind of Bodhisattva statue was physical but had never heard of it.
The cookie thought it was fun, so she pinched the cheek of the Buddha statue again and said in surprise: "Brother Yang, come and try it too, it's so fun!"
Yang Ni felt something was wrong and advised: "Hey, be careful."
But when he saw that the cookies and spiders were pinching the statue, and the Buddha statue was still motionless, he became curious and raised his hand and pressed the knee of the statue.
But before he could feel the softness of the Buddha statue, a spider suddenly heard a scream from his ear. Then she stretched out her slender arms, picked up the cookie that was still pinching the cheek of the Buddha statue, and rushed 4 or 5 meters away.
