C18 Great wisdom and foolishness
The two black spots in the north gave him a sense of déjà vu. He quickly recalled that when he was climbing the mountain, he and his two followers had once seen two black dots on the other side of the mountain in the middle of a world of ice and snow.
Although they were far away and he could not see if they were male or female, the two black dots gave him the same feeling as when he was climbing the mountain.
He had come into close contact with Lang Ka and Yu Xianhe, and upon seeing the two black dots, the shock in his heart became even more obvious.
"Your Highness, it looks like you're right. The two people in front should be Lang Ka and his flying companion." Sard's face revealed fear, he was very clear of Lang Ka's strength.
"Let's go, we can't stay here any longer. We're most likely not their match!"
Although they were unwilling, Shade and Sard still chose to leave.
Not long after the two of them left, a childish voice sounded from behind them, "Sirs, this little monk wants to leave with you as well. I don't want to stay here and wait for my death …"
Tu Dengduoji caught up with him, and framing him with a smile as Sard looked at him. The two of them felt that this Lama was rather adorable.
Although Tuden didn't have much ability, they didn't mind adding to the burden of carrying frames.
The three of them left the place far away from Zhongba River Temple. After they finished their calculations with Sard, they did not move from their position in Zhongba River Temple, and used the British Emissary and the thousand cleaning up s to form a team. They explored the other areas in the hidden grounds, searching for the possible location of the Demon Suppressing Temple.
Furthermore, Lang Ka was the guardian of the Zhongba River Temple, so he was not afraid of other people discovering the peculiarities of the temple. With Lang Ka and his comrades guarding the temple, how many people in the whole of the hidden grounds being able to take advantage of Lang Ka?
When Lang Ka and Yu Xianhe rushed to the Zhongba River Temple, Fraser and the others had already left Laz.
Standing at the entrance of the Zhongba River Temple, Lang Ka caressed the temple's newly constructed wooden door, and asked suspiciously: "Why is there no one in the temple?"
Yu Xianhe spread out her hands: "It's probably because the British Army attempted to take over the temple last time, the old monk in the temple was afraid of British Army's revenge, so he escaped."
Lang Ka shook his head: "No, last time I saw Chi Ba in Zhongba River Temple, he had a profound cultivation base and a firm will, he is not a person who fears death."
Yu Xianhe: "Then don't ask me if I know or not, after all, this place is inhabited."
Lang Ka sighed, pushed open the door of the temple with Yu Xianhe and looked inside. The temple was empty, the Buddha statues had already been moved, and the monks had all disappeared.
"Where are we going now?" Yu Xianhe asked. He felt a little depressed, after travelling so far from the North Tibetan Steppe to Laz, she had not even seen the shadow of a monk.
At first, he thought that another formidable enemy would invade, but unexpectedly, he was able to throw himself at empty air, causing his riveted strength to have nowhere to escape.
"Let's go, continue heading south. Hearing that the British is doing some kind of survey, I think those people have evil intentions." Lang Ka said.
The two of them came out of the temple. Just as they were about to leave, Lang Ka suddenly stopped in his tracks.
From the spring breeze that brushed past his face, he felt a somewhat familiar aura — — dead spirit qi!
However, as the wind blew, the dead spirit qi disappeared like smoke. Lang Ka was a little surprised, he was not sure if the aura he felt just now was an illusion.
As far as he was concerned, he had broken through the limits of necromancer's physical body and cultivation last time, so he wouldn't be able to return so quickly. Could it be that there are other necromancer s that have their eyes on the Zhongba River Temple? Was he the partner of the last person?
Yu Xianhe: "Lang Ka, are you hugging air?"
With Yu Xianhe's strength, she did not notice the dead spirit qi flashing past, so he did not understand what Lang Ka was doing.
Lang Ka did not speak, he had some doubts in his heart, if it was really the dead spirit qi, then where was the opponent right now? He sensed that Yu Xianhe and him were rushing over, and knew that he was no match for them, so he escaped? Or had they set up an inescapable net somewhere and waited for them to get into the trap?
What Lang Ka did not know was that Sard had killed a large amount of monsters and ghosts in the Tibetan South.
On their way to Yadong, Sard, Carrying Frame and Tu Dengduoji kept asking about the Twelve Monastery. In order to show their sincerity, they tried to tell Sard everything they knew.
Only Tu Dengduoji was carefree, he did not understand what Sard and the others were saying.
"According to your estimate, just how powerful is the Power of the Witch that the Demon Suppressing Temple suppressed?" There was a look of disgusting greed in Sard's eyes.
Framed Bull laughed out loud: "Immense power! Rakasha was born from a place of concealment, so its power should be similar to the mystical power of the entire place. "
Sard nodded his head, thinking that if he could take that power for himself, or even split it evenly with the frame, he would no longer have to fear the shepherd Lang Ka anymore.
When they were rushing to the Yadong, Lang Ka and Yu Xianhe had heard that the cleaning up and the joint investigation team were currently in Yadong, and the two of them were on the way there to figure out the purpose of the British.
At this time, Ma Chengyuan, together with a small group of troops and Demonic Monk, had also bypassed the Lhasa and were approaching it.
Fu Changqing's subordinates reported the movements of the Yadong, and found out that the cleaning up that was hidden at the back were actually in cahoots with the British, and were carrying out some kind of survey and exploration activities on the land they were in charge of. The one leading the team was a dignified Great Qing Kingdom who was carrying frames, causing Fu Changqing to feel extremely dissatisfied with the Emperor and the Old Buddha.
He thought back to the scene three years ago at Prince of Germany Palace, and tightly held onto the treasured blade left behind by his predecessor, Fu Kangan …
He knew that Framing was a powerful Warlock with a high cultivation level. He felt that there would be an inevitable war between him and Framing and British … He was the Minister of the Treasury, and he could not stand by and watch the framers and the foreigners do whatever they wanted on the land under his rule!
Recently, Fu Changqing had called for troops to gather outside the Lhasa. Other than the thousand cleaning up s that were taken over by Yue Yang, the ten thousand garrison troops were already camped outside the Lhasa. They were waiting for the opportunity to arrive, with Fu Changqing's order, they wanted to exterminate all the British s! If they wanted to obstruct him and help the British, then they would have to punish them together!
Fu Changqing was complacent, and ordered his trusted aide Hong Yu to stay outside the city and raise the fighting strength of the garrison. In his view, a great battle was about to happen, and the day when he would regain the glory of his ancestors, would soon come!
Returning to the Yadong, Sard and Carrying Frame met up with the main force. The Yadong's mapping work had already been completed, and the next stop was Nie Lamu County.
Huai Te found the frame and said with dissatisfaction, "Your Highness, recently we have been helping your country map its territory. Although this is our responsibility, but …"
What Huai Te wanted to say was, "What he wants to say is, the wealth of the hidden grounds."
Shaking his head, Sard, who was standing by the side, did not say anything. "Baron Huai Te, I advise you not to disagree with His Highness the Prince of Germany for the sake of profit."
Huai Te did not understand why Sard helped carry the frames, it was because he saw something much more attractive than limited wealth and treasures — — Power of the Witch.
He knew that Sard would settle this matter well, and let Huai Te feel free from his dissatisfaction.
Returning back to the camp, Tu Dengduoji looked at the map that Huai Te and the others had drawn.
"Little Master, what are you looking at?" said the frame.
Tun Deng scratched his head, pointing at the map and asked, "Your Highness, do you find this map strange?"
"Oh? What do you mean? " the frame asked.
Tun Deng: "On the map, come over here and take a look. The overall image of this map looks like the witch that Master and the others mentioned …"
He never thought that this seemingly foolish Lama would actually be able to see through the secret on the map.
Tun Deng pointed at the map and pointed at the details, saying, "Look, this looks like a sleeping witch. This is the witch's head, this is her shoulders, this is her elbows, and this is her hands. Look at this, this is a pair of feet, both knees …"
The frame was very detailed, and he also sensed that Tuden was right. The part of the witch Toden had described was so vivid and accurate.
At this moment, Sard had also come to the living quarters. After hearing what Tuden had said, he stared at the map in shock.
It said: "Little Master, have you heard of the Twelve Monastery?"
Tuden nodded. "Of course I've heard it. Most people should know about the legend of the old man in the hidden grounds. What do you mean, is that legend true?" Was there really a witch on the map? No wonder my master and Lang Ka mentioned the Twelve Monastery that day … "
When Tu Deng had not pointed out that the map was like a witch's, he had not noticed that the map that Huai Te and the others had drawn looked so much like a sleeping witch. After listening to Tu Deng's explanation, especially after he had pointed out the details of the witch's body, the frame showed that the legend was not just a legend.
"Little Master, the legend of the Twelve Monastery may very well be true." said the frame.
Tu Dengduoji was dumbstruck. Once again, he lowered his head to look at the map. Then, he raised his head and said.
"Next, we will follow this map and search for the twelve Demon Suppressing Temple temples." The frame went on.
Tu Dengduoji pointed to a small dot on the map and said, "Lord Prince, come and look, this is the Hidden Razzi County, this small dot is the Zhongba River Temple right?"
Sard moved closer to the frame to look at the point where Tu Deng was pointing at. That was indeed the Zhongba River Temple.
"Zhongba River Temple, it seems to be the left hip area of the witch." Tuden said.
Sard nodded at the same time. Indeed, from the map, this place really did look like the witch's left hip …
When he thought about the legend, he became even more excited. He confirmed that the Twelve Monastery truly existed, and that Lang Ka was the one who protected and suppressed the witch's left hip, the Zhongba River Temple.
Tu Dengduoji continued to speak, "According to legend, after the Princess Wen Cheng entered the treasure trove, he discovered that the topography of the place was like that of a sleeping witch, so he constructed twelve temples in the treasure trove to suppress the Rakasha. The twelve Demon Suppressing Temple s, including the four temple towns on the witch's left shoulder, right shoulder, left hip, right hip, and the four temple towns on the witch's left elbow, right knee, left knee, right knee, and the four temple towns on the witch's left hip, and the four temple cities on her left and right palm. Prince, can you understand, according to the legends of the Demon Suppressing Temple, as long as you find the temples on the other 11 vital points on the map, you will be able to find the remaining 11 Demon Suppressing Temple temples? "
Framing nodded, shocked.
Although he had heard of the Legends of the Twelve Monastery, he was not clear on the facts of the Four Great Town's Fringe Temple, the Four Great Resurrection Town's Fringe Temple, and the Four Great Town's Wing Temple. If Tuden's words were true, then according to this map, they would be able to find all the twelve Demon Suppressing Temple temples!
After all, the map was not perfect, and there were many places that he had read through in a single stroke, so his inspection was not very detailed, and from what he knew, there were almost two thousand temples of various sizes in the hidden grounds, even if he found those vital points according to the map, there would be at least ten or so temples in each area, to determine which ones were the Demon Suppressing Temple s, it was definitely not a difficult task.
Whether it was carrying a frame or an earthen tower, they only knew the legends of the Demon Suppressing Temple, not the true location of the Demon Suppressing Temple.
However, an idea suddenly occurred to him.
