Yet everyone admired him greatly.
This awareness alone can play a crucial role.
Li Xiaohu led the way into the hidden door.
The others followed behind him, while Partridge Whistle brought up the rear.
The hidden door leads to a long, winding passageway.
The group walked for quite some time.
It felt like we were spinning around in circles at the top of the tower before finally reaching the end.
But at the end there was only a small, dark room.
There is no passage to the next place.
Partridge Whistle looked down at his feet.
He concluded, "The passage is probably buried by yellow sand."
The entire city of Heishui has been buried by yellow sand for over a thousand years.
They are currently at the top of the pagoda.
The main hall of Tongtian Dafosi Temple, the "Daxiong Hall," was naturally located at their feet.
Li Xiaohu nodded, confirming Partridge Whistle's guess.
Partridge Whistle got excited instantly.
They called over the old foreigner, who grabbed a shovel, and started digging downwards.
The location was found by Li Xiaohu.
He certainly couldn't let Li Xiaohu do that kind of hard work again.
Li Xiaohu was happy to have some free time.
He stood quietly to the side, watching Partridge Whistle and the old foreigner work hard.
The two moved very nimbly.
Not long after.
They dug a pit that was half a person deep.
"Qiang!"
Partridge Whistle's shovel suddenly struck a crisp, hard object.
He hurriedly dropped the shovel and squatted down to dig it up with his hands.
Then they unearthed several large pieces of green glazed tiles!
"Azure-scaled glazed tiles!" Partridge Whistle was overjoyed!
These tiles were made using a unique manufacturing process specific to the Western Xia dynasty.
The tiles are crystal clear, and their color under the firelight is like that of gemstones. The tiles are also neatly carved with images of the Eighteen Arhats!
Both in terms of craftsmanship and materials, it is extremely precious.
Buddhism flourished in the Western Xia Dynasty in ancient times.
Buddhist architecture is everywhere.
However, unless it is a major Buddhist building or a large-scale Buddhist temple, it is not qualified to use this kind of tile!
Partridge Whistle then asserted confidently, "It seems we've found the right place!"
"What's down below is definitely the main hall of the Tongtian Great Buddha Temple!"
The others joined in with excitement.
Old Yangren, Hua Ling, and the others jumped down to help uncover the green glazed tiles inside.
soon.
Then a dark hole was revealed.
A chilling, eerie wind wafted from inside, causing everyone to cover their faces and smell the stench.
Partridge Whistle threw down a torch.
By the bright firelight.
The group could vaguely make out that below them was a magnificent Buddhist temple!
Among them sits a large, gilded Buddha statue, which radiates a dazzling golden light under the firelight!
Asking for flowers
Unfortunately, the firelight only illuminated a limited area.
That's all they can see for now.
Once the torches hit the ground, it became difficult to see anything else.
Partridge Whistle and Li Xiaohu exchanged a glance.
Then, he and the old foreigner Hua Ling took down the drilling rope and sent it into the cave.
They entered the main hall first by following the sky-piercing rope.
Then came the Red Girl.
Li Xiaohu first lowered his cat down with a rope, letting Hong Guniang catch it below.
The spirit cats, bound by ropes, shook their heads unhappily and meowed incessantly as soon as they landed.
In the end, only Yin Xinyue and Li Xiaohu remained.
Yin Xinyue is not very good at using ropes to climb up and down.
Looking down at the depth of ten zhang (approximately 3.3 meters), I couldn't help but feel a little scared.
He timidly shook his head at Li Xiaohu.
Li Xiaohu smiled helplessly, stepped forward and put his arm around Yin Xinyue's waist, then tied the two together with a rope.
Reaching the edge of the cave, she whispered, "Hold me tight."
He then jumped inside.
The sudden weightlessness made Yin Xinyue instinctively hug Li Xiaohu tightly, not daring to open her eyes.
About ten seconds later.
She finally felt her feet were firmly planted on the ground, and she breathed a long sigh of relief.
Li Xiaohu released Yin Xinyue.
But he found that Yin Xinyue was still holding him tightly, so he smiled and asked, "Miss, we've arrived."
"You're still reluctant to let me go?"
Yin Xinyue suddenly realized what was happening, shoved Li Xiaohu away, and retorted with a flushed face, "Don't be so self-righteous!"
"I just didn't realize it!"
The relaxed atmosphere made everyone laugh.
"Hahahahaha."
Even Hong Guniang couldn't help but chuckle.
Li Xiaohu smiled and took the torch from Partridge Whistle, then scattered with the others to scout out the situation.
We arrived in front of the enormous Buddha statue.
The Buddha statue in front of us is seven or eight zhang tall, almost occupying half of the main hall. It is golden and has many colorful rays of light.
Take a closer look.
Only then did I discover that the Buddha statue was inlaid with all sorts of gemstones and jade.
Even the lotus platform where he sat was made of several huge gemstones, and it was still inlaid with beautiful jade!
Under the light of fire.
It refracts streaks of colorful light in the golden glow.
Partridge Whistle and the others also came over.
Looking at the enormous Buddha statue in front of me.
Everyone not only felt its solemn and majestic appearance, but also marveled at its extravagance and luxury!
