Facing these blindfolded monks who were as terrifying as zombies, the scientific researchers were frightened out of their wits. These scientific researchers usually stayed in the studio, and even when they went out to do tasks, they stayed in the tents. Where had I seen this?
The posture, if Professor Liao's eldest disciple hadn't ordered everyone not to panic, those two researchers would have run away!
But those masked monks were indeed terrifying. They seemed to have heard the voices of living people and began to gather here. More and more people gathered here. The closer they were, the more clearly they could see their faces. The life and death of these masked monks
Unknown, the skin on many of them is gone, and their walking postures are numb and stiff, very weird...
"Just wait here!
I'll take the researchers in, don't worry, I'll be fine!",
Chen Zhi turned back and said to Ghost Sword, indicating that he and Pang Wei were waiting here, then turned around and came straight to a masked monk.
Chen Zhi's move frightened the scientific researchers. They could not imagine that Chen Zhi would walk in front of the walking dead without any scruples.
Those masked monks are like evil spirits. If you get close to them, you don’t know what will happen, maybe they will be eaten!
But Chen Zhi didn't seem to be afraid of them. Not only did he approach the monks, he also reached out and grabbed the monks' faces, shining a flashlight on them to look at them carefully as if they were looking at something.
Under the flashlight light, the appearance of these masked monks was already clear.
Their faces are indeed very ferocious, as their muscles have been in a painfully tense state and solidified.
It seemed that they had been gnashing their teeth and hating something for a long time in the past, but they could not scream because their mouths had been sewn shut with thick threads and were covered with open wounds and bloody scabs.
The thick blindfolds on their faces were very obstructive and twisted. They had obviously been fastened roughly by someone, but despite this, they never tried to take them off.
Chen Zhi looked at these monks, pulled up one of them's arm and took a closer look, and found that there was very little flesh on it, leaving only shriveled skin and bones. When he looked carefully, he found that they could not lift their arms at all.
, because their joints were broken and they could not take off the blindfold directly...
Chen Zhi cannot guarantee that all of the monks in front of him are alive. Some of them may have turned into the kind of rice dumplings that Fat Wei mentioned, and are alive as other life forms.
"Buddhism is a place of compassion!
How could such a thing be allowed to exist...",
Chen Zhi thought silently in his heart, and glanced downwards with his eyes, and saw that the shackles of the walking dead were indeed from all ages. It seemed that some of them had been sent here for a long time.
Chen Zhi's actions just now increased the courage of those scientific researchers.
This is the way humans think. No matter how terrifying they encounter, as long as the partners around them are better, they will feel that they have support and feel safe.
These scientific researchers have all heard from Professor Liao that Chen Zhi and others have been to many places and are very powerful, and ordinary monsters and ghosts cannot hurt them at all!
So they no longer panicked, quickly maintained the path, and started walking forward with Master Danxuan.
This avenue is a straight road forward, and the entrance of the stupa is at the very front of the avenue. They walked forward quickly, and soon, the gate of the stupa was revealed in front of everyone.
It is a very common arched stone door. The door is covered with ancient prayer flags and Buddhist scriptures. The prayer flags have long faded, are full of garbage and are very old, and the scriptures have long been unrecognizable.
But the outside of the arched stone door was tightly built with a row of bricks. The stone bricks were several layers thick and covered with lime. They looked like they were old.
"Do you need my help?
If you use my method to dismantle it, it will be faster!" Chen Zhi leaned forward and asked Dan Xuan.
Before coming here, Chen Zhi had sworn to Danxuan that he would never use magic unless absolutely necessary, but now, maybe it was time to use magic.
But Danxuan was very stubborn at this time. He still refused Chen Zhi's help. He knelt in front of the stone gate very piously, used the blunt awl that Fat Wei had just given him as a tool, and began to knock on the holes between the stone bricks.
gap.
The stone bricks seemed to have been laid very hastily, and were not tight and jointed. In addition, Pangwei's tools were very easy to use, and a gap was quickly knocked out.
After that, Chen Zhi thought Danxuan would use some clever method to remove the bricks. Unexpectedly, he chose the stupidest method.
With his bare hands, he used his hands to remove the stone bricks blocking the door piece by piece.
This behavior that Chen Zhi thought was ridiculous turned out to be successful.
This process took a full two hours. When the work was completed, Chen Zhi saw that Danxuan's hands were covered with blisters, some of which were already bleeding.
And those stone bricks were miraculously removed within these two hours.
At this time, a door was revealed behind the stone bricks.
It was a door with a bronze edge painted red, and the red paint was gilded with golden flowers. After countless springs and autumns, it still did not fade, and the flowers were in full bloom, showing a typical style of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.
There are two door knockers on the animal mouth of the gate. The door knockers are engraved with coiled dragon patterns, which proves that this is a pagoda built by the emperor himself, and it has a solemn status.
The door was not locked, but it was closed tightly. Danxuan pushed hard several times, and the door seemed to be nailed shut and did not move at all.
The last few scientific researchers followed, and they worked together to push the door. Finally, with a "bang" and a burst of dirt and dust, the door was finally opened.
A dark space was exposed inside the tower, and you could see a staircase in front of it, leading straight up, but there was no handle.
Danxuan stepped in with one step, and several scientific researchers turned on the lights behind and walked towards the stairs together.
This pagoda is a typical hollow-shaped pagoda. The stairs spiral upward along the edge. The pagoda is very high, but the stairs are very narrow. Only one person can pass at a time, and it is very dangerous without handrails.
A group of them lined up and walked up the narrow stairs.
Chen Zhi soon discovered that this kind of stairs only looked dangerous, but they were very solid when walking on them. The stair slabs were specially designed to tilt the person's weight inward, and there was no need for handrails at all.
And he also discovered that the stair slabs he was stepping on were actually made of precious sapphire.
The texture of these sapphires is delicate and very suitable for fine processing. At this time, they are carved into the shape of auspicious clouds. They go straight upward, and the green and white radiance complement each other. It makes people feel like they have entered the Nine Heavens Mysterious Realm. I have to admire the craftsmanship at that time. It is really miraculous.
.
There are many layers of pagodas and pavilions along the way. In each partition, there are basically various scriptures, Buddha statues and other objects stored.
It was very smooth for them to walk all the way up, but the distance was a little longer...
"Master Danxuan...",
Chen Zhi finally asked softly,
"What's going on with those blindfolded monks outside?"
