Chapter 1723: The Key in the Idol

There are many benches placed in the temple hall, one row after another, neatly placed. The windows on the walls are tall and wide, and the windows are pasted with colorful window papers with intricate patterns. The light shone on the windows and was refracted back, and the hall was filled with a halo of rich colors, which was a bit mysterious.

Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu walked in, looking straight to the end of the temple hall.

At the end of the temple hall stands a statue of a god tens of meters high, which is made of blue crystal, reflecting a piece of blue light, which is very beautiful.

Ning Tao's eyes moved to the face of the statue, and he was slightly stunned.

The face of the idol was that of an ape, with its nostrils turned up, and its hair long and uncut.

"Is this an ape-man? Does the god that the ape-man believes in look like this?" Bi Mingzhu said.

Ning Tao said: "The gods that ape-men believe in must look like ape-men. They regard human beings as their enemies and kill them all. They will definitely not carve the gods they believe in into human-like appearances."

"Do you think God looks like that day?"

Ning Tao shook his head: "No, maybe there is no such god."

His gaze moved to the right hand of the idol.

The right hand of the ape-man statue is holding something, which looks like a scroll, and it is also carved from blue crystal.

Ning Tao's heart moved, and he strode over.

"What did you find?" Bi Mingzhu asked, and followed Ning Tao.

Ning Tao said: "Look at what the statue is holding, do you think it is a scroll or a book?"

Bi Mingzhu took a look, was silent for a while, and then said: "I think it looks like bamboo slips before paper appeared."

Ning Tao was stunned for a moment. For some reason, he thought of the bamboo slips of the account book of Tianwai Clinic, and then thought of Chong Er and the tripod of good and evil.

He walked to the foot of the statue and took a closer look. It was indeed a bamboo slip, not a book or scroll.

He then looked at other parts of the statue, but fortunately, he didn't see any place that looked like a tripod.

He started with the ledger bamboo slips and the Good and Evil Cauldron, although it was initially used by the Good and Evil Cauldron,

But the Good and Evil Cauldron and the Tianwai Clinic also made him a success. In many cases, the ledger bamboo slips and the cauldron of good and evil are actually his symbols. If the gods believed by the ape-man held the bamboo slips and a big tripod, he would really be confused.

"Old Song, your reaction is very strange." Bi Mingzhu sensed Ning Tao's psychological changes.

Ning Tao put away his thoughts: "Why do the gods believed by the apes hold bamboo slips?"

Bi Mingzhu said: "I don't know either, probably because the ape-man didn't have paper at first, so they used bamboo slips for a while before using paper."

Ning Tao felt that such an explanation was a bit forced, but he couldn't think of any other explanation.

Ning Tao jumped up, his body rose tens of meters, and flew directly to the right hand of the statue.

The ape-man's god statue was tens of meters high, and his wrist was thicker than his thigh. He stood firmly on it.

Looking closely at the bamboo slips held in the statue's right hand, Ning Tao saw the words engraved on the blue crystal.

The characters carved on the crystal bamboo slips are Chinese characters, which are easily recognizable.

Ning Tao recited silently: "Heaven created all things, and all things are unjust. The universe is endless, and turning back is not a shore. I am not me, and I am not you. It is better to go back as soon as possible."

These few words are quite a bit like Buddhist gatha.

However, the bamboo slips held in the hands of the gods believed by the ape-men must also be very famous and important instruments or sacred objects. They are famous for engraving Buddha's gatha?

these four sentences

It is easy to read, and the literal meaning is easy to understand. But Ning Tao was at a loss when he read it, and he felt a little strange feeling in his heart-he actually felt that these few words similar to Buddhist gatha were left to him deliberately, and he was waiting for him to come here one day come and see.

Whoosh!

There was a sound of wind, and there was another person on the wrist of the ape-man statue.

Bi Mingzhu's mana has also awakened. Although she can't jump hundreds of kilometers like Ning Tao, there is no problem for tens of meters. When jumping the city wall before, she could actually jump over it easily, but Ning Tao reached out to wrap her waist, and wanted to hold her and jump high, so she was too lazy to use her own strength. Anyway, Lao Song is very strong, he can still sweat when he exerts a lot of effort, which is a good thing for her to kill multiple birds with one stone.

But this time Ning Tao was standing on the statue in a daze, she couldn't help being curious and wanted to jump up to have a look.

Bi Mingzhu also saw a few words on the blue crystal, and read out softly: "Heaven created all things, and all things are unrighteous... Lao Song, what does this mean?"

Ning Tao smiled wryly and shook his head: "I don't know, it feels...as if someone is staying here, just waiting for me to take a look."

Bi Mingzhu said in surprise, "Why do you have such a strange feeling?"

Ning Tao shook his head again, but before he could say a word, there was a cracking sound from the crystal wrist under his feet. A second later, the wrist of the ape-man statue suddenly broke, and the huge palm and the bamboo slip carved with blue crystal fell to the ground.

Ning Tao hastily stretched his arms around Bi Mingzhu's waist, took a step in the air, and floated down to the ground lightly.

boom!

The huge blue crystal palm, together with the crystal bamboo slip held in the palm, fell to the ground.

After all, it is just an ordinary crystal, which cannot withstand being dropped.

Suddenly a shrill siren sounded from the temple, and the sound of running footsteps of the temple guards was also heard.

"Old Song, someone is here, let's go!" Bi Mingzhu was a little nervous and ashamed.

If she hadn't been curious and swished onto the statue's wrist, the statue's wrist wouldn't have broken, so there wouldn't be such a thing.

"Don't worry, they can't see us." Ning Tao's eyes fell on the ground, and there was a transparent thing lying among the blue fragments on the ground, seven or eight inches long, four-sided strip, with a circle at one end ring, with slightly jagged teeth at one end.

Look carefully, this thing is a bit like a key.

Ning Tao reached out and picked up the suspected key. Holding the thing in his hand, reflecting the light, he discovered that there were densely packed heavenly runes hidden in it.

What key is this?

Ning Tao was filled with surprise, but before he could see clearly, a large group of ape-man guards rushed in, dozens of them.

Bi Mingzhu wanted to speak at first, but when she saw the armed ape-man guards rushing in, she followed suit and closed her mouth.

Ning Tao held the key in his hand and put that hand behind his back. Then he touched Bi Mingzhu's arm, motioning her to follow him.

Bi Mingzhu walked along the corridor where Ning Tao came and went.

At this moment, a guard officer shouted: "Close all doors and windows!"

Immediately, ape-man guards closed the gate, and even the side door of the corridor where Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu came was also closed. Because there were too many broken crystals on the ground, Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu walked slowly, so before they had time to go out, the door was closed by the ape-man guards.

But Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu were not nervous, let alone afraid. After all, they were born as gods, and these ape-man guards were just ants, and there was no threat at all.

"My lord, why did the statue's arm break?" said an ape-man guard, with a look of surprise and confusion on his furry face.

The ape-man officer looked at the statue that had lost his right hand, and his face was extremely ugly.

"My lord, if the gods find out about this, we..."

"Yes, my lord, quickly think of a way!"

"My lord, God envoys lord will kill us!"

The ape-man officer scolded: "Why are you panicking? Can panic solve the problem?" His eyes quickly swept across the hall of the temple, and he suddenly issued an order, "Put on the gas mask immediately!"

A large group of ape-man guards took off the gas masks hanging around their waists and quickly put them on their heads.

From the speed at which orders are issued to execution, it is not difficult to see that the ape guard guarding the temple is actually a well-trained elite armed force.

Ning Tao was full of curiosity. These ape-man guards didn't see him and Bi Mingzhu at all, but suddenly they all put on gas masks. Who are these ape-man guards planning to poison?

"Give up the poison gas!" The ape-man officer then issued another order.

One by one, the ape-man guards took off the metal cans containing the poisonous gas from the armed bag, pulled out the safety lock, and threw them in every corner of the hall.

Green smoke came out of the cans one after another, and in a blink of an eye the entire hall was filled with highly toxic smoke.

Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu were originally invisible, but as soon as the smoke came over, they became visible. Although their faces were not exposed, their figures were very obvious.

"There are enemies!"

"Get rid of them!"

bang bang bang!

There was a lot of gunfire.

Purple raindrops generally hit Ning Taohe. Bi. body, and bounced to the ground.

Ning Tao sighed: "I didn't want to kill you, why do you insist on forcing me to kill you?"

What responded to him were hot bullets.

This is no wonder the old send.

Ning Tao hugged Bi Mingzhu and slammed into the side door when he came and went.

Boom!

The thick door panel was torn apart, the moment Ning Tao knocked open the side door, Ning Tao pushed Bi Mingzhu into the corridor. He didn't escape together, but was blocked after using the bullets set in the hall.

Several ape-man guards wearing gas masks rushed forward, sprinting and firing wildly.

"Go to hell!" Ning Tao suddenly turned around and punched him with a fist.

The blue energy light flashed, and the highly poisonous smoke rolled back, and the bodies of those Yuanren guards exploded at that moment...

The battle lasted for less than a minute. After that, the gunshots disappeared, and the whole temple was quiet. Except for the harsh siren, no one spoke or moved.

Ning Tao walked into the corridor, and Bi Mingzhu greeted him: "I can actually fight with you."

Ning Tao smiled and said, "I'll do this kind of rough work. We have to get out of here. If the fly heard the gunshots and explosions, it might escape."

"That's right, that fly is timid. We'll go find it now. I paid a deposit." Bi Mingzhu said.

Ning Tao: "..."

10 combinations left the temple.

Down the hillside in front, a large group of giant flies took off from the Shenghua Shield City and flew towards the top of the mountain at the fastest speed.

Ning Tao was going to kill those flies and ape-man in a matter of minutes, but he didn't intend to do so. He put his arms around Bi Mingzhu's waist and jumped directly from the cliff on the hillside behind.
