Chapter 629: Chapter 629: Clay Sculpture Golden Body Contains Universe Chapter 629: Chapter 629: Clay Sculpture Golden Body Contains Universe This was a small wooden room, about six square ters in size, with nothing inside but a reclining Buddha at the center.
There were offerings in front of the reclining Buddha, but they had gone rotten and now emitted an unpleasant sll.
Under the table, there was a ditation cushion and a few scattered scriptures.
Beyond that, there was nothing else.
This place was probably used for the masters’ ditation retreats. It was said that it was common for masters to stay inside for ten to fifteen days at a ti, dealing with all their urgent needs right there in the room.
No one knew how long it had been since soone had last entered the room, it was all just the sll of spoiled food and excrent.
The two couldn’t bear it and quickly took out their Leviathan Skin masks to wear before they resud searching the area.
But this was all the space there was, and they turned everything over, from the incense table and under the table to the ditation cushion. Where was anything about agricultural difficulties?
If only they had asked the La Man Uncle clearly where it was hidden.
The two had no choice but to grit their teeth and look beyond the room.
Just as they neared the door, they heard footsteps outside. They imdiately stopped, and Bai Junjun lightly tapped the wood, creating two small holes in it.
The two peered through the holes.
Outside was a corridor. Beyond the corridor was the central courtyard, and the other side of the courtyard was lined with more seclusion rooms.
At this mont, there were many monks moving around large boxes in the central courtyard.
All of this left them astonished.
Wasn’t this the Underground Palace?
Why was it as bustling as the Escort Agency?
Besides so people wearing monk’s robes, there were also many dressed in armor.
Could it be that they were also part of Yuwen Luan Fei’s Imperial Forbidden Guards?
But Yuwen Luan Fei owned the whole Imperial Capital, why did he hide and use this private estate?
The two were intensely brainstorming,
when soone started walking towards them.
As they walked, they were chatting, “Go check if that old baldy is ready to confess today.”
“Huh, if he doesn’t confess soon, I’ll kill him,” one responded.
As they spoke, the two outsiders were about to push open the door. Bai Junjun and Li Wenli instinctively grasped each other’s hands and entered the Space.
Just as the two disappeared, those outside slamd the door open.
They approached the reclining Buddha with fierce expressions and then suddenly lifted the mask on its face, causing a startling discovery.
It turned out this was not a simple reclining Buddha. Inside the statue was a living person, except he was bound hand and foot, dressed in a Clay Sculpture Golden Body, and wore a mask on his face, making him almost unnoticeable without a close look.
The man was gaunt and weak, roused from his stupor by their call and barely opened his bleary eyes.
The feeble old man, although frail, still had a firm gaze and gave them a fleeting look, remaining silent.
The newcors, though they wore monk’s robes and had shaved heads, their eyes revealed nothing but malevolence, devoid of compassion.
They seed more like Asuras than monks.
“Old baldy, where is the Underground Palace?”
“If you don’t tell now I might just have to kill you!”
The old monk, having not eaten for days, was unable to speak.
“Brother, this man is so weak; if we don’t give him so water soon, he might just die,” one suggested.
“Let him die. It’s not like he can reveal anything useful anyway,” another replied impatiently and slapped the old monk’s cheek, “You really won’t shed a tear until you see the coffin, will you? You still have so many disciples outside, think about them if not yourself.”
Having said this, the old monk’s expression wavered montarily, but it quickly cleared, and tears glistened in his eyes as he spoke, “The mortal world is full of suffering; leaving these bitter seas early wouldn’t be too bad either.”
