Chapter 49 Chapter 49 Tombstone

The black bat finally spoke again: "I'll give you the last minute to find out where the scriptures are stored, otherwise—hehe..." His voice was cold and frightening. Seeing a glimmer of life, Liu Hu said loudly, "Qin Yun and I dived into the water and found the place where the scriptures are stored, but we found that the Tibetan line had already been removed." "That's what you moved!" The black bat scolded him sharply. "We have exhausted our lives for dozens of generations, and finally found the place where the scriptures are stored, but we only got a hole. God is so unfair! You must compensate us! You must !” They came with great hopes, only to return empty-handed again, which has made them exhausted, and now they can do anything.

Qin Yun knew that he would definitely die today, and he didn't want to waste any more words. He wanted to leave the last minute of his life to Xiao Bai. "Xiaobai, do you have any regrets?" He asked. Xiaobai wanted to shake his head, but soon thought of his father, and tears rolled down again. "I'm worried about Dad, without me, he must be very lonely alone." Qin Yun also thought of his parents, they must be waiting for his call in his hometown, he has not called them for several months.Qin Yun was suddenly disturbed, and he shouted: "I can't die! I can't die!" Yuan Zhenhe, Kurosawa Haruya, and Uchida Jun also shouted.

Agaha smiled contemptuously: "Leave Liu Hu, and others will execute." Liu Hu shouted in amazement: "Why? Why am I the only one left?" He suddenly realized something, and looked at Sun Xueli, who was looking at Agaha gratefully with tears in her eyes.Liu Hu's heart was stabbed deeply, which is more painful than death. The executioner came over and took away the wooden frame from Qin Yun, Yuan Zhenhe, Xiaobai, Kurosawa Haruya, and Uchida Jun's feet at the same time. They were hung up, like paper figures waving their limbs in the air, uttering painful "Oh!" Oh" sound.Qin Yun and Xiaobai stretched out their hands, trying to hold each other's hand at the last moment, but the nooses were too far apart, and they could only make hopeless efforts again and again.

Liu Hu and Sun Xueli howled, but there was nothing they could do. Yu Watanabe finally stopped struggling, his hands drooping, hanging in the air like a piece of rag. Qin Yun felt that his lungs were about to explode. He looked at Xiaobai with tears in his eyes. Xiaobai stopped working hard and grabbed the noose above his head with both hands, trying his best to keep it stable and stop turning, so that she could keep looking at Qin Yun.She opened her mouth wide and breathed desperately, but she couldn't take in any air. Her face was flushed, her eyes almost bulged out of their sockets, and they were filled with blood and tears.Qin Yun didn't want her to suffer, and couldn't bear to see her suffer. He looked at the dark lake in the distance, and he saw countless pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness. They were the eyes of Khotan exiles.These lonely souls have not been able to realize their original desire to collect scriptures, and they have not been able to wait for the arrival of the Dharma-rectification era to let Buddhist scriptures come out of the ground and "hidden in temples". "Pursue all sentient beings, ride the merciful voyage together, and go to Nirvana together." He thought of the words at the end of fragment No. 8932 in the Sutra Cave. Now he is going to die, and death is Nirvana, and he can finally Nirvana.Death is really a profound destination. No matter how alive a person is during his lifetime, he will eventually be buried in a grave and engraved with a tombstone. These two things are the destination of death and the end of Nirvana.Qin Yun suddenly got a very philosophical idea before he died.

This idea "swish" through his mind like a beam of lightning, and Qin Yun suddenly realized something.He let go of his hand holding the noose and swung it desperately, the noose that lost the protection of his hands almost strangled his neck. The black bat lowered its head and whispered to Agaha for a while, and Agaha finally waved his hand, "Boom!" Qin Yun was let down, fell on the deck, and coughed desperately. "Are you afraid of death?" The black bat came over and asked. "Cough..." Qin Yun almost coughed out his internal organs, "I know, cough... I know where the scriptures are stored... cough..."

"What?" All Yu Sufu stood up, "Say it!" Qin Yun clasped his neck with both hands, "Cough... let them go, cough... I'll just say it." The black bat yelled: "Put it down! Put it down!" The executioner ran over and put all the prisoners down. They all fell on the deck and coughed desperately. Except for Watanabe, they were all fine.Liu Hu was also let go. He rushed forward to press Xiong Watanabe's chest and perform artificial respiration. After struggling for more than ten minutes, sweating profusely, he finally pulled Xiong Watanabe back from the death line.Yu Watanabe turned over, lay on the ground and coughed desperately, spitting out a mouthful of blood every time he coughed.

Everyone coughed for half an hour before gradually returning to calm. Now it was Yu Sufu's turn to suffer. Qin Yun only cared about everyone and refused to give his answer. However, this time Yu Sufu was very patient and no one dared to reprimand him.Qin Yun finally finished his work, helped everyone to sit on the deck, and looked up.All Yu Sufu looked at him eagerly, but Qin Yun trimmed Xiaobai's hair again, and said softly, "Does your neck still hurt?" Xiaobai shook his head and said sweetly, "It doesn't hurt at all." Qin Yun gently stroked the dark red bloodstain on her neck, "You still say it doesn't hurt?" He held Xiao Bai in his arms, "I won't let you suffer anymore."

Xiaobai was moved to tears. The black bat pushed Qin Yun inappropriately, "Hey, brother Qin, can you tell us where the Tibetan scriptures are now?" He used the honorific title "you" for the first time. Qin Yun helped Xiaobai get up, and finally said: "I have a condition, you must satisfy me, otherwise you will never get the Tibetan scriptures and the real bone of the Buddha's top." "Tell me!" said the black bat impatiently. "You promise to ensure the safety of Xiaobai, Professor Yuan, Liu Hu, and Sun Xueli, and send us back to the ground safely after finding the scriptures," Qin Yun said.

"No problem!" The black bat slapped Qin Yun on the shoulder, "Quickly tell me the answer." At this time, Kurosawa also shouted: "Brother Qin, don't forget Ito Sihara!" Xiaobai trembled, and looked at Qin Yun pleadingly.Qin Yun pondered for a moment, and then said: "There are also Mr. Kurosawa, Yu Watanabe, and Jun Uchida. You also need to ensure their safety." "They? They killed many of our brothers!" The black bat was embarrassed, he looked at Agaha, Agaha nodded, and the black bat said again, "No problem, I promise you all, can we talk now?"

"No, I don't believe you!" Qin Yun replied. The black bat shouted angrily: "This is not okay, and that is not okay, what does Brother Qin want?" "In order to ensure that you keep your promise, I need a hostage." Qin Yun said. "Hostage?" The black bat made a sudden move, grabbed a Yu Sufu beside him, and said loudly, "Okay! He will be your hostage!" Qin Yun smiled and shook his head, "I want him!" Qin Yun pointed to Agaha who was sitting silently. "Presumptuous!" the black bat yelled angrily, and pulled out the pistol at his waist, and all the other Yu Sufu also raised their guns, full of murderous intent.

Without fear, Qin Yun smiled and said, "You can kill me, but you will have to wait another thousand years to find the scriptures." There was a sudden silence on the motorboat. After a long time, Agaha stood up, walked to Qin Yun, unloaded his pistol and handed it to Qin Yun, saying: "I promise you." Qin Yun handed the gun to Liu Hu, "Take care of him!" Liu Hu checked the pistol magazine, and there were still ten bullets in it. He tied Agaha's hands behind his back and put the pistol on his lower back. "Okay, before giving the answer." Qin Yun said unhurriedly, "I'll ask a few questions first." The black bat nodded impatiently. "In what year was the kingdom of Khotan destroyed by the Black Khan Dynasty?" Qin Yun asked. "1006 AD." The black bat replied. "Khotan's monks, nobles, a small number of people and some soldiers fled to Dunhuang in the same year and began to build this mysterious underground world. So when did Yu Sufu first enter this underground world?" The black bat scratched its head and said, "About two hundred years later, around 1206 AD." "It was you who flooded Nalanda?" "Of course not!" Black Bat loudly denied. "Was the water at that time as deep as it is now?" The black bat looked at the short man who had stood side by side with him behind Agaha, and he said coldly, "Almost the same depth." "Very good!" Qin Yun said confidently, "Modern submarines were not invented until the late 19th century, and deep-water anti-pressure diving suits were not invented until the 20th century. The underwater Nalanda, before the invention of the submarine in the 19th century, could not have been removed." "Maybe before Nalanda was submerged, that is, before we entered the ground, the Buddhist scriptures had already been carried away." The thin and short man said. "In 1036 AD, the Xixia Army defeated the Guasha Guiyi Army and occupied Dunhuang. They probably also entered this underground world." Qin Yun was shocked. He was hung on the noose just now, and he came to a conclusion based on an inspiration. He didn't have time to think about these details.This is indeed a possibility, Qin Yun walked back and forth restlessly, opening and clenching his right palm from time to time. "No!" he said loudly, "Impossible! The Xixia people believe in Buddhism. If they find this place, they will definitely take out the Buddhist scriptures and enshrine them in the temple, instead of flooding the Buddhist holy land of Nalanda." The short and thin man nodded and asked, "What's your conclusion?" Qin Yun said with certainty: "Buddhist scriptures are not stored underwater at all!" "Huh?" Almost everyone exclaimed. The thin and short man asked sullenly, "Then where is it?" Qin Yun raised his right hand and pointed to the top wall, saying, "There!"
