Chapter 764
Everyone needs it
The vortex disappeared, the suction force also disappeared, and the surrounding water flow returned to calm. At this moment, Gao Bufan was in a relatively narrow waterway, to be precise, it should be the inside of Longyin Cliff.
It turned out that when Gao Bufan was sucked by the hole just now, his hands and feet suddenly exerted force and tried to break free. As a result, the cliff where the force was applied suddenly collapsed. The hole that was originally only the size of a football suddenly expanded several times, and Gao Bufan was immediately violently pulled away.
He sucked it in, which is why the rope suddenly tightened.
Gao Bufan was naturally shocked, because you have no idea where this undercurrent will lead. If after entering the mountain, the inside suddenly becomes narrow and you are stuck inside, you will really be dead.
Fortunately, Gao Bufan still had a lifeline on him. Just when he was about to pull on the rope and try his best to escape from the hole, the suction force suddenly disappeared and the surrounding water seemed to have stopped flowing.
Strange, is this undercurrent intermittent?
Gao Bufan hesitated for a moment, then finally let go of the rope around him and swam quickly into the depths of the waterway. After swimming about ten meters, he suddenly burst out of the water.
This is……?
Gao Bufan looked around in surprise. Although it was very dark here, he could still vaguely see clearly. It was a large cave. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. It seemed that he had guessed it right. The interior of Tingtao Cliff was actually empty.
, there is a cave hidden inside, which is most likely the location of Buddhist secrets.
Gao Bufan took a deep breath and found that although the air here was turbid, it was breathable. In other words, the air here was flowing. There might be other exits, or at least vents connected to the outside world.
At this moment, the water around him suddenly started moving again, pushing Gao Bufan forward. Gao Bufan quickly grabbed the rocks on the shore and climbed up, while a gurgling sound came from the bottom of the cave.
Gao Bufan calmed down and looked around carefully. He found that the cave was quite large and full of stalactites. It seemed to be a natural cave. At this time, a black shadow dangling on the water caught Gao Bufan's attention.
It turned out to be...a boat.
Yes, there is a boat here. There is a boat in the middle of the mountain. Although it is just a small boat, it is absolutely impossible to come in from the hole outside, because the hole is too small. Unless someone sails the boat in and then
The hole was resealed.
Gao Bufan couldn't help but feel surprised and happy. It seemed that he had most likely found the right place. Just as he was about to investigate further, a person suddenly appeared from the water nearby. His white clothes were particularly conspicuous in the darkness.
"Miss Bai?" Gao Bufan blurted out.
"Gao Changqing!" Bai Yunshang's voice was trembling a little, obviously mixed with a sense of relief and joy.
Gao Bufan felt a strange feeling in his heart, stretched out his hand to pull Bai Yunshang out of the water, and said happily: "How did Miss Bai get in?"
Bai Yunshang said: "King Qi has been in the water for so long, and the rope has been untied. Yunshang was worried, so he came down to take a look. Unexpectedly, there was a cave here."
Gao Bufan felt warm in his heart and said apologetically: "I've made Miss Bai worried." However, when he saw Bai Yunshang who was soaked to the skin and her clothes clung to her body, his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.
Women's feelings are undoubtedly sensitive, and Bai Yunshang is no exception. She probably noticed the strange look in someone's eyes, and turned around hurriedly and subconsciously, facing Gao Bufan sideways. Her pretty face in the dark seemed angry and annoyed at the same time.
.
Gao Bufan sweated secretly and turned around quickly. In fact, this was not the first time he saw that when Bai Yunshang was seriously injured, it was he who assisted Master Daoxin to perform acupuncture on Bai Niuer. Of course, Bai Niuer was also the one who was injured at that time.
Wearing close-fitting clothing.
"Hey, there is actually a boat here?" Bai Yunshang exclaimed in surprise.
Gao Bufan nodded and said: "This boat probably sailed in from the entrance of the cave outside. Later, the cave entrance was sealed. Over time, a piece of the stone sealing the cave entrance was washed away by the river, so a small hole was exposed."
"But the entrance to the cave is underwater, how did the boat get in?" Bai Yunshang asked puzzledly.
Gao Bufan said: "There is only one possibility, that is, the water level was not that deep at that time. It is estimated that there was a severe drought and the water level dropped sharply."
Bai Yunshang nodded and said, "That makes sense."
Gao Bufan smiled and said: "Let's go forward and search, maybe we can find your Buddhist secrets." After saying that, he took the lead and walked in front, which saved Bai Yunshang from the embarrassment of getting wet.
"Hey, there are candles and fire torches here. I wonder if they can still be used." Gao Bufan walked a few steps and found a stone niche on the cave wall, which actually contained candles and fire torches. He couldn't help but be happy and picked up the fire.
After knocking on it a few times, the fire actually lit up, and the surrounding area suddenly became bright.
Gao Bufan and Bai Yunshang looked at each other in surprise, but the former's gaze accidentally caught sight of the latter's clothes that clung to her chest. The eye-catching curves almost made Gao unable to take his eyes away.
Bai Yunshang's face turned red, and she finally said angrily, "Don't look around."
Gao Bufan quickly turned around and continued to move forward, but the touching scene lingered in his mind.
The two walked for a while, and Gao Bufan found another stone niche on the cave wall, which also contained candles and torches. So Gao Bufan lit the candle again. When he lit the third stone niche, the cave seemed to have ended.
.
All I saw was a lake in front of me. There was a road from the side to the opposite side of the lake. There was a high platform, which seemed to be naturally formed. The high platform was actually filled with wooden boxes, estimated to be as many as two to three hundred.
Gao Bufan's heart couldn't help but beat fast, the secret treasure of Buddhism! The secret treasure of Buddhism is indeed here!
Bai Yunshang was also extremely happy and walked forward quickly. However, at this time, the water level in the lake suddenly dropped sharply, as if it plunged thousands of miles away, revealing the funnel-shaped bottom of the lake. The water in the water channel rushed into the lake, and soon it returned to the lake.
The lake was refilled.
Gao Bufan couldn't help but suddenly realized, and finally understood the reason for the formation of the vortex outside. It was obviously related to the lake in the cave. The funnel-shaped lake bottom was probably connected to the outside world. For some unknown reason, the lake level did not leak out at a certain time.
, the lake water suddenly fell sharply, forming a regular whirlpool, and the whirlpool drove the air flow, making a sound like a dragon's roar.
The mystery was finally solved, but what Gao Bufan was most interested in at the moment was those boxes. If half of them contained gold and silver treasures, hey, he really got rich this time, and he got so rich that even his mother didn't recognize him.
That kind of.
Let's talk about Gao Bufan and Bai Yunshang bypassing the lake and reaching the high platform over there. Gao Bufan found a stone niche on the stone wall, which also contained candles and flints. He was about to light it, but his movements suddenly stopped.
Bai Yunshang asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
Gao Bufan lit the candle and said calmly: "It's nothing, this candle seems to be a little damp." After speaking, he looked around cautiously.
The boxes here are stacked neatly, with a thick layer of dust on them, and signs of insect infestation and rot. It seems that they have been stacked here for a long time, maybe decades.
Gao Bufan casually glanced at the ground, his eyebrows wrinkled slightly, he stepped forward and opened a box, and found that it was filled with copper coins, all of which had a patina. He picked one up and looked at it.
, and found that it was indeed a coin from the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
At this time, Bai Yunshang also opened another box, but it was all filled with silver ingots. Gao Bufan couldn't help but smile and said: "It seems that Miss Bai's fortune is better than mine. She got some silver as soon as she opened it."
Bai Yunshang was obviously not interested in silver, and went to check other boxes. The result was either copper coins, silver, or gold. Tsk tsk. Gao Bufan couldn't help but secretly lamented that these monks really know how to make money. No wonder Emperor Wu of Zhou wanted to destroy the Buddha, and according to the eldest brother Qiu Bearded
guest house
Speaking of which, there were tens of thousands of Buddhist temples and nearly two million monks in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. However, the monks did not engage in production, did not pay taxes, and did not serve in the military, which seriously affected the national economy and the people. Therefore, they were not unjustly destroyed. It seems that they will be able to survive in the future.
Learn a lesson and don’t let these religions become too powerful.
At this time, Bai Yunshang opened another box and finally looked happy. It turned out that this box did not contain gold and silver jewelry, but oil paper bags. The paper bags probably contained some books.
Bai Yunshang happily took out a piece of oil paper bag and was about to check it out when a small dark red centipede-like insect suddenly jumped out from under the paper bag and bit the back of her hand.
Bai Yunshang didn't care and threw it to the ground. Gao Bufan quickly raised his foot and trampled it to death.
"Amituofo, King Qi must not kill at will!" Bai Yunshang recited the Buddha's words.
Gao Bufan reached out and grabbed Bai Yunshang's wrist, and said with concern: "You still care about it, quickly see if it's bitten, this thing might be poisonous."
Bai Yunshang was stunned for a moment, feeling something strange in her heart. Without moving her wrist, she easily got rid of Gao Bufan's control. She smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, this is not a centipede, it's just an ordinary insect, non-toxic."
A trace of surprise flashed in Gao Bufan's eyes. Although he had not deliberately used his strength just now, Bai Yunshang struggled with his hand so easily, which also surprised him. Bai Niuer's kung fu seemed to have improved a lot compared to before.
At this time, Bai Yunshang lowered his head and continued to open the oil paper bag, and took out a stack of scriptures from it. He exhaled softly with joy: "The Lankavatara Sutra, this is the only copy handwritten by the unknown master. It is so good that it is still so well preserved."
."
When Gao Bufan saw this, he was also moved and happy for Bai Yunshang, and smiled and said: "Congratulations to Miss Bai for getting her wish."
Bai Yunshang rarely showed a bright smile: "Congratulations to King Qi for getting his wish and becoming rich overnight!"
Gao Bufan laughed: "We each get what we need, the scriptures belong to you, and the gold and silver treasures belong to me."
Bai Yunshang smiled and shook his head and said: "The secret treasure was discovered by King Qi. Everything here naturally belongs to King Qi. However, if King Qi is willing to donate the scriptures to Buddhism, that would be great."
Gao Bufan's heart moved, and he nodded and said: "It's useless for me to ask for these scriptures, so I'll ask Miss Bai to donate them to Buddhism."
"Amitabha, that's good, that's good. Your Highness, King Qi, has achieved immeasurable success!" Bai Yunshang put her palms together and bowed to Gao Bufan.
