Chapter 21 Section VI

The water of the Chao Phraya River was dyed red by the faint morning light, and the daily ferry boats on the river started another busy day.An unknown water bird flew past the surface of the water and landed on an open window sill along the river. It cooed softly, but it didn't wake up Xiao Tang and Du Ping who were sleeping on the table. Su Yu walked gently behind Xiao Tang, staring at the flickering computer screen in thought. Bai Wanrong walked into the room with a haggard complexion, and called out: "Brother Yu, I kept having nightmares last night, dreaming that Mrs. Tina and Little Furong were locked in the dark underground, and Little Furong was still crying, but what did I say?" Can't do both."

Su Yu turned her head and made a silent movement, but it was too late, Du Ping raised her head in a jerk. "Tina, little Furong!" Xiao Tang also rubbed his eyes, and got up slowly: "Brother Yu, Wan Rong, you are here, I'm really sorry, although I have restored the mural in the photo, but I can't be sure which one in Chiang Mai it is. temple." Du Ping's expression was gloomy, he just sighed, and didn't say anything. Su Yu rubbed his chin, smiled and said, "Don't be discouraged, you still have some achievements, tell me, what kind of mural is that?"

Xiao Tang nodded, clicked on the computer screen, and immediately a partial picture of the mural appeared.He said slowly: "This mural describes the story of the famous Wanjin Buddha in Thailand. It is said that in ancient times, the neighboring Burmese country once sent troops to attack Siam. The monks in Siam knew that the enemy was about to attack the city. , They covered a huge golden Buddha statue with a thick layer of mud, making the golden Buddha look like it was made of mud. Soon, the enemy army really attacked the city, and all the residents and monks in the city were killed. Survived, but the Golden Buddha was preserved because it was not discovered by the invaders. People have always regarded the Buddha statue as a clay sculpture, and no one knew the secret. After hundreds of years, the ancient temple had to be demolished. Huge The clay Buddha statue weighed more than 10,000 catties. During the relocation of the Buddha statue, there was heavy rain, and it was getting heavier and heavier. When the old abbot of the temple went to check the Buddha statue, he found that the rain had washed away some mud, and the golden light flashed on the Buddha statue, which dazzled his eyes. The old abbot hurriedly called his disciples, and carefully knocked open the mud at the crack with chisels and hammers. At this time, they were surprised to find that there was a pure gold Buddha statue hidden in the mud. This is A long scroll mural, only a corner of the mural appeared in that photo. However, it is very troublesome that this mural of Wanjin Buddha has been painted in four temples in Chiang Mai. I checked, and in these four temples Except for one that has long been abandoned, the other three still have monks practicing in them, and I am really not sure which one of them is where Mrs. Tina and Little Furong are imprisoned."

Bai Wanrong hurriedly said: "Brother Yu, why don't we immediately ask for the assistance of the Thai police and dispatch a large number of police forces to search these monasteries. I don't believe we can't find Mrs. Tina and Little Furong." Su Yu shook her head and said, "No, doing that will undoubtedly remind Ghost Wing that Tina and Little Furong will be more dangerous!" Du Ping's face turned pale, and he murmured: "What should I do? Something will happen to the two of them, and I don't want to live anymore!" Su Yu said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, after Wan Rong left last night, in the Bangkok police station, Ellie told me that his sister pretended to hold him hostage before she died, but actually took the opportunity to whisper a clue in his ear. The ghost The Wings are tightly organized, and everyone only knows the tasks they want to perform. The Jinpeng and Yinpeng brothers are responsible for the entire process of kidnapping Tina and Little Furong, and only they and the leader know where Tina and Little Furong are hiding. However, since Yinpeng and Patty were lovers, he once inadvertently revealed that there was a broken and huge statue of King Manglai in the temple where Tina and Little Furong were imprisoned. One of the greatest kings in the world, he died in Chiang Mai. The following year people began to carve his huge statue in memory of him, and it took ten years to complete. This statue was gradually forgotten due to disrepair, and now It should be hidden in an ancient monastery in Chiang Mai."

Xiao Tang called softly: "The statue of King Manglai! Ah, I remembered, when I was searching for information last night, I saw a huge statue of a god in a photo taken by a French photographer. Wait, let me look for it .” As he said that, Xiao Tang quickly clicked on the computer screen. After a while, an ancient temple with mottled exterior walls appeared in front of everyone. In front of the temple, there was indeed a beautifully carved temple with a sword in his hand. Because the statue is so huge, the photographer can only take half of its body. Xiao Tang excitedly pointed at the computer screen and said: "That's it. This statue is said to be the largest statue in Chiang Mai. It is located in the abandoned Bailong Temple. It is about ten kilometers away from Chiang Mai city. It was built in Kunming. In the vast jungle of the Dan Mountains."

Du Ping and Bai Wanrong also looked at Su Yu in surprise. There was a slight smile on the corner of Su Yu's mouth, and he said decisively: "Xiao Tang, immediately book a ticket for today's fastest flight to Chiang Mai, and someone will pick us up there. We must bring all the necessary communication equipment and communicate with Hong Kong and Bangkok police at any time. We will keep in touch with the police in order to ask for the support of the Chiang Mai police if necessary. Du Ping, you go and check our weapons and equipment. This time it must be a tough battle. Everyone must carry a gun. Wan Rong, you still have one The most important thing is to contact Madam Chen. If we go to Chiang Mai to rescue Tina and Little Furong this time, please ask her to meet the Chief Executive immediately on my behalf, and ask the Chief Executive to call the Thai high-level officials to personally plead for the commutation of Patty’s younger brother Ellie’s sentence. This is what I promised Patty, I can't break my promise!"

Bai Wanrong said in surprise: "Brother Yu, when did Patty tell Ellie these things? I didn't see any conversation between them last night! I thought she would kill her younger brother, and she would definitely treat her You are not good, otherwise, I would not shoot." Su Yu patted her on the shoulder and said, "Wan Rong, what happened in the current war is irreversible. You just need to think about doing the next thing well, saving Tina and Little Furong, and don't think about anything else." Bai Wanrong opened her mouth, but she nodded silently without asking any more questions.

Seeing that everyone was busy, Su Yu also turned around and walked out of the room, and took out his mobile phone. Unexpectedly, Xiao Tang followed him, patted him, and smiled slightly: "Brother Yu, the flight has been booked in two hours. Didn't you want to call your mysterious Chiang Mai informant?" Su Yu stared at him for a moment and said seriously: "Sure enough, she's been there for two weeks. When we arrive at Chiang Mai Airport, she will arrange for someone to pick us up and drive to Bailong Temple immediately! There is no delay , time is life! The contest between us and Ghost Wing is about to kick off! Remember to remind Du Ping and Wan Rong that everyone wears bulletproof vests, life and death are instant, and bullets have no eyes!"

Xiao Tang nodded in agreement, and said in a low voice: "Brother Yu, you have to be careful, I have a feeling that you are the person the leader of Ghost Wings wants to deal with the most!" "Dididi", Su Yu's cell phone rang suddenly, he picked up the phone and said a few words, frowned, put down the phone and said in a deep voice: "It rained heavily in Chiang Mai yesterday, the road leading to Bailong Temple was blocked The mudslide is blocked, my informant has hired a local as a guide for us, and prepared a small boat to take us around the Longyan Creek in the back mountain. Then, a mountain road leading to the temple needs to Walk. Xiao Tang, bring more dry food, prepare rain gear, tell them both to wear waterproof clothes and shoes, and must arrive at Bailong Temple before dark tomorrow."

Xiao Tang's face changed slightly: "This ghost wing can really call the wind and rain, what a coincidence, there was a heavy rain yesterday and cut off the road. Brother Yu, look, even the weather in Bangkok seems to have changed. It's raining." Su Yu walked to the railing silently, staring at the gradually darkening sky, his eyes gleamed with determination like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath. A few hours later, outside Chiang Mai, in a valley in the Kundan Mountains, although the torrential rain was not as fierce as yesterday, it did not show any signs of stopping.

The rain is like countless cold snakes, crawling all over everyone's body regardless. Although they are wearing tight raincoats and rain hats, they can still feel the cold seeping in from every pore. On the mountain road, Su Yu and his party are pushing forward with difficulty. Bai Wanrong looked at the waterproof watch in her hand and gasped, "Brother Yu, the driver who brought us here from the airport just now said that the boarding place can be reached by walking half an hour on the mountain road, but why did you walk so fast? Fifty minutes, where's the informant who hasn't seen you yet?" Xiao Tang wiped the rain from his face and said, "It rained heavily, and the mountain road was washed away a lot. Will we get lost?" Su Yu stopped, turned his watch, compared it with the electronic map, and said calmly: "The direction is correct, this is the road to Longyan Creek, my informant is carrying a satellite tracker, It shows that she is not far ahead. It should be that the mountain road is wet and slippery, which delayed our time. In addition, the driver who picked us up at the airport just now is a local and is used to walking on mountain roads. Naturally, the time will be short Some. Hurry up, one by one, don't fall behind!" Saying that, Su Yu waved his hand and took the lead to walk deep into the valley. Du Ping was only thinking about his wife and daughter, and he hadn't spoken since entering the valley, just kept walking forward.Bai Wanrong and Xiao Tang hurriedly stepped up to keep up. "Little Brother Tang, Brother Yu is always mysterious. What the hell are you doing? Do you know who his informant is?" "It should be you Hong Kong people. The answer to the mystery will be revealed later, and you will lose the fun of guessing if you tell it now." Xiao Tang said, closing his mouth, bowing his head and walking quickly. Bai Wanrong curled her lips and said, "You are not from Hong Kong." The four of them soon came to the Longan River. Longyan Creek is located at the lowest point of the valley. Its source may be a certain alpine lake in the Kundan Mountains, so the stream water is clear and pure without any pollution.According to the word of mouth of the local mountain people, the flow of the stream forms a ring, encircling the entire mountain peak, and looks like a giant eye when viewed from a high altitude, so it is named Longyan Stream.However, no outsider has ever taken a helicopter to overlook the mountain from a high altitude. It is really confusing where the claim comes from. Su Yu stopped and looked far away. After a while, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Here she comes! Everybody get ready to board." Sure enough, in the distance, a red hovercraft was slowly coming along the stream.Although the person sitting on the boat was wrapped in a rain hat and raincoat and was carrying a backpack, she was undoubtedly a young woman from the looks of her body. "She is?" Bai Wanrong asked in surprise. Xiao Tang smiled lightly and said, "Can't you guess yet? The person Brother Yu trusts the most is naturally your Inspector Xie." "It turns out that the mysterious informant is Madam Xie!" Even Du Ping, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help shouting softly. After the hovercraft slowly approached the shore, Xie Wanyi waved her hands and said with a smile: "Hurry up and get on the boat! We have to drift for nearly an hour to reach that ancient temple!" I haven't seen her in nearly a month. She is obviously tanned, but she can't hide her handsome face and white teeth. After greeting each other, the four boarded the boat one by one. Due to the narrow hull and the need to maintain balance, they could only sit squeezed on both sides. Bai Wanrong happened to be sitting next to Su Yu and Xie Wanyi. She looked at Xie Wanyi, stuck out her tongue and said, "Thanks, Madam, it looks like you've come to Thailand a long time ago! Keep in touch with Brother Yu one-on-one, it's hard to hide from us!" Xiao Tang, who was sitting on the other side of the hovercraft with Du Ping, said, "Actually, Brother Yu and his wife have already discussed this! One went to Bangkok to investigate openly, and the other came to Chiang Mai quietly. I will secretly stare at Brother Yu, but I can't think of guarding against Madam Xie!" Xie Wanyi smiled and said: "I came up with this plan. It happened that I was injured and recuperating in the hospital at that time. Ghost Wing would not notice me, and Chiang Mai can be said to be inextricably linked with Ghost Wing. Both Wang Hai and Tan Tianfang have been to the mountains near Chiang Mai many times. The murdered Master Zalun, as well as his younger brother Su Ge who pretended to be him and went to Hong Kong, were all born in villages in the Kundan Mountains and disappeared mysteriously. The Sakyamuni tribe is probably hiding in these rolling mountains. Therefore, Su Yu and I agreed that I would first visit Chiang Mai secretly, and he would conduct investigations in Bangkok. Caught off guard." Su Yu smiled slightly: "Wanyi came to Chiang Mai this time, except me and the Chief Executive, no one else knew about it, and we have been in single-line contact. The information on Patty and her brother Ellie is from Wanyi and Interpol. In addition, the person in charge of Chiang Mai Zhihua Company, the missing Shawang, Wanyi also went to the small village where he was born and learned that he was recruited by a well-dressed man in his thirties three years ago. He was taken away by name, and there has been no news since then. His hometown is remote and closed, so naturally no one will know that he has become the manager of a spice company in Bangkok, and of course no one will care about his life!" Xiao Tang pondered: "In his thirties, well-dressed, isn't that exactly what the man who lives in Bangkok under the name of Sawan looks like? This man is also keen on Japanese movies and books. At that time we analyzed that he might be a Japanese. But who is his close girlfriend Lianhua?" Xie Wanyi's face changed, she looked at Su Yu, and said softly, "Could it be the two of them? Impossible, they should have died in that submarine earthquake." Bai Wanrong asked suspiciously: "Thank you, Madam, who are you talking about?" Su Yu stroked her chin and said, "Let's put this mystery aside for now. If it's our old friend, we will meet sooner or later. Our priority now is to rescue Tina and Little Furong. Wanyi, tell everyone about you." I learned about the situation of the ancient temple." Xie Wanyi nodded, pointed at the peak at the end of the stream and said: "This mountain is called Shenwang Peak in the local area. Our boat went around this mountain and came to the back of it. The stone step road, but it has been washed away by the torrential rain that has been falling for the past two days, but there is a small road on the back of the mountain that only the local mountain people know, which can lead to the Bailong Temple in the middle of the mountain. I asked someone to walk through it yesterday The mountain people on this path drew a detailed map, but no matter how much I paid, the mountain people would not take us up the mountain. Because in the mountains in this area, they all believe that the ancient white dragon The temple is where the soul of King Manglai resides, and King Manglai has turned into a giant dragon soaring in the sky, so ordinary people in his temple cannot enter without permission, otherwise they will die. Although this is an ancient legend, this mountain dweller He told me tremblingly that in the past three years, several unbelievers wanted to go to the deserted Bailong Temple to find some valuables. Who knew that they either fell off the cliff or were bitten to death by poisonous snakes. Came back alive." Bai Wanrong and Xiao Tang said almost at the same time: "It's so weird! This can't be a trick played by Ghost Wings, can it?" Du Ping grabbed the side of the boat nervously, and murmured: "If Tina and Little Furong were really imprisoned in that terrifying ancient temple, how would they have been tortured? It's all my fault. Greedy, if it wasn't for me, they wouldn't be in danger." Su Yu said: "Du Ping, you have to be confident. Since Ghost Wing wants to take Tina and Little Furong as hostages, their lives will never be in danger. Since we can find this place, we will definitely be able to rescue them." Su Yu's voice was firm and steady.Du Ping looked at him, nodded slowly, his expression relaxed a lot. At this time, the hovercraft has drifted along the stream to a stone wall, and a few meters along the stone wall is the back of Shenwang Peak. Xie Wanyi shouted: "Everyone, hold on tight. According to the mountain people, when we turn to the back of the mountain, there will be a big drop in the stream, and we will soon enter a very bumpy section." As soon as her words fell, everyone felt that the water flow began to rush, and the hovercraft seemed to be sucked by a huge force, and began to rotate slowly, turning around the stone wall in a short while. Before everyone was relieved, they felt that the hovercraft was suddenly thrown up by the turbulent water. It turned out that the stream on the back of the mountain encountered several huge stones. fell down hard.Fortunately, everyone had been prepared long ago, firmly grasping the side of the ship, maintaining the balance of the ship, so they were not thrown overboard. After passing through this dangerous water flow, the Longan Creek entered a lush virgin forest, and the water flow began to become gentle. The thick and intertwined trees on both sides hang down countless green vines, like a huge curtain covering the water. In the sky outside, the light became dim, which instantly created an illusion, as if entering another time and space. Bai Wanrong exclaimed in surprise: "Look at the vines entwined on these trees, they are so beautiful! It's just like the scene depicted in a fairy tale book!" She was about to reach out to touch those lovely green leaves. "Don't touch them! They are poisonous!" Su Yu shouted loudly! Bai Wanrong withdrew her hand with a look of horror!Du Ping and Xiao Tang couldn't help but change their colors slightly. Xie Wanyi explained softly: "This kind of tree on both sides of the strait is called blood seal throat. It is native to South America and is very poisonous. As long as a person touches a little on the skin, there is basically no cure. But those beautiful trees you see But the vines can attach to these blood-sealed throat trees, and they grow extraordinarily luxuriantly, so it can be judged that these vines are also highly poisonous. The mountain man who helped me draw the map warned me that I must not touch these vines, otherwise The skin will fester, the pain will be unbearable, and if it is serious, it will even lead to death!" These words made Bai Wanrong nod her head in fright. Su Yu, who was looking around, asked at this moment: "Wanyi, did that mountain dweller say when did these blood-sealed throat trees and these poisonous vines first appear in the area around Longyan Creek?" Xie Wanyi thought for a while and said: "He said that there were no such tall trees in this area, and the mountain people often came to Shenwang Peak by boat to pick some mountain products and sell them for money. Many poisonous trees grew continuously. In addition to the bloody throat and poisonous vines, there are many poisonous thorns and poisonous mushrooms on the mountain. Many mountain people were poisoned, and some people died because of it. People speculated that, It is the soul of King Manglai who does not want to be disturbed by the ordinary world, so that such weird things happen, so gradually, no one dares to come to the mountain behind Shenwang Peak. Bailong Temple, which is visited by people from time to time It’s slowly becoming deserted.” Xiao Tang, who listened quietly, murmured: "Ghost Wings! It must be a trick of Ghost Wings! They transplanted these poisonous plants and spread this terrifying atmosphere among the mountain people. Let people enter this mountain forest again, then Bailong Temple will become their stronghold, which can be used for any illegal activities!" "Not bad!" Su Yu smiled slightly, "The Tao is one foot tall and the devil is one foot high. They never thought that someone would find this place." "Ah!" Du Ping suddenly let out a scream, trembling and raised a hand, everyone looked over, it turned out that some creature had bitten off a piece of skin from his right hand, dripping with blood. Su Yu's expression changed: "Not good! Piranhas were put into this stream! Although this fish is small in size, it is extremely fierce and has extremely sharp teeth, but luckily it should be non-toxic! Wanyi, please help He stopped the bleeding! Don't let the smell of blood attract a large number of piranha fish! Be careful, everyone, don't stick your hands out of the boat and touch the stream!" Xie Wanyi agreed, and hurriedly took out some hemostatic medicine and bandages from the backpack she was carrying, while Xiao Tang grabbed Du Ping's hand and skillfully bandaged it up for him. Bai Wanrong looked around vigilantly and said: "Brother Yu, this place is really dangerous! I don't know if there are any more insidious traps in the White Dragon Temple, Ghost Wings?" Su Yu didn't answer at this time, he opened the hand-drawn map that Xie Wanyi gave him, studied it carefully, raised his head and said: "In front, there is a stone ladder chiseled by the mountain people with axes, leading to Bailong Temple. Just at the foot of the mountain, there is also a stone tablet erected during the construction of Bailong Temple!" Everyone looked far away, and sure enough, there was indeed a tall stone tablet standing quietly among the cluttered trees on the far shore. The hovercraft slowly approached the shore. Su Yu took the lead and jumped off the boat. He turned his head and shouted solemnly: "There are poisonous thorns and some poisonous ferns growing everywhere here, and there may be poisonous snakes and the like. Everyone go up the mountain You must be extra careful when walking, pay attention to follow my footsteps, and don't walk around at will." Everyone agreed, jumped off the boat one by one, and followed Su Yu carefully to the stone tablet. Su Yu squatted down and gently brushed aside the weeds growing beside him. Xie Wanyi and Xiao Tang hurriedly took out paper towels and vigorously wiped off the dirt on the stone tablet.This seemingly dilapidated stone tablet gradually revealed a crystal white color. Su Yu said slowly: "It is carved from a whole piece of high-quality jade. It is very rare and priceless. From this stone tablet, we can get a glimpse of how magnificent and magnificent this White Dragon Temple was back then!" Everyone rushed forward to take a closer look at the stele, and saw lines of ancient characters engraved on it, which were similar to the Thai script used today, but not exactly the same. Su Yu thought: "It's ancient Thai, I can only understand a little bit, the general meaning should be to describe the great military exploits of the great Manglai King, and to praise his achievements! Wanyi, take a picture of the inscription and pass it on to Ouyang , although he is still on his honeymoon, but I believe he can find someone to translate this inscription soon, if we understand the ins and outs of Bailong Temple, it should help solve the case.” Xie Wanyi agreed, and hurriedly took a picture of the inscription with her mobile phone and passed it to Ouyang Shuo. At this time, the rain had gradually stopped, and the air in the mountains was exceptionally fresh. Looking up from the stone tablet, sure enough, amidst the mist, one could vaguely see a steep and straight stone ladder hidden among the weeds and trees. "Let's go!" Su Yu stood up resolutely and said, "We still have about three hours, and we must arrive at the White Dragon Temple before dark, otherwise, in the dark, if we encounter ghost wings' plotting, we will be very scared." passive." Under the leadership of Su Yu, a group of people tried their best to climb up the mountain along the steep stone ladder while carefully avoiding the suspicious-looking plants around them. Because of worrying about the safety of Tina and Little Furong, everyone was almost silent during the whole climbing process, except for Su Yu who turned around to remind everyone from time to time, the others almost tensed up, and secretly gripped the handle of the gun, Be ready to deal with unexpected situations at any time. Especially Bai Wanrong, who was so nervous that she tripped over the weeds and had to stop several times to fasten her shoelaces. It's a tough time! When it was getting dark, the mountain wind began to become cold, and the leaves all over the mountain were rustling like whining. Climbing halfway up the mountain, a large circle of broken walls appeared in everyone's sight.Among the walls, there are lush trees, and a tall pagoda hidden in the trees only reveals the top of the pagoda. Du Ping hurried a few steps, caught up with Su Yu, clenched his fists and asked, "Brother Yu, this, this is the back wall of the White Dragon Temple. Will Tina and Little Furong be imprisoned here?" Su Yu stopped, took a closer look and said, "That's right, according to records, the Bailong Temple was originally large in scale, but after being damaged several times, what remains now is mainly a main hall and a pagoda. There are roundabout corridors connecting the pagodas. The building with the exposed top must be the only surviving God King Pagoda. We are about to enter the temple soon, everyone be careful. You will be attacked by ghost wings, get your weapons ready!" As he spoke, he put his hand into his pocket, held the gun handle tightly, his eyes became sharp and stern like a falcon, and he leaned sideways against the fence and moved forward quietly, and everyone followed closely. There was a dead silence inside the blue-gray high wall, but this silence seemed to make people feel that there was an inexplicable danger hidden. However, it seemed that everyone's worries were superfluous. Su Yu and his party walked along the wall and turned to the gate of Bailong Temple. Sure enough, they saw the huge and broken statue of King Manglai, but everything was the same. Holding the gun in his hand, Du Ping glanced into the monastery. The empty courtyard was deserted except for fallen leaves.There is also silence in the main hall, corridors and pagodas behind. "Brother Yu, is this an empty city plan by Ghost Wings? Could it be that Tina and Little Furong have already been transferred?" Du Ping asked anxiously in a low voice. Su Yu scanned the situation in the yard quietly, shook his head and said: "No, because as long as that fake Tina is still watching by your side, the leader of Ghost Wings can feel at ease and don't have to give up this best hiding place. This The place was not chosen by chance, but carefully arranged by them. Just looking at the gadgets in the Longan Creek at the foot of the mountain, it is enough to see that they have put a lot of thought here. Counting from the time Patty was arrested, until now It's less than 48 hours, but the torrential rain started three days ago, and the road was washed out two days ago. If they want to transfer the hostages, they can only take the stone staircase path we just took. But, you noticed Is it? When we came up just now, the stone ladder road was cleaned by someone, and it was quite clean, and there were still some fresh rice grains. It can be seen that since they still have the intention to clean the stone ladder and ask the people below to send food up the mountain, they have not moved The hostage plan, there must be people living in this monastery. Everyone pay attention to the window of the room leading to the corridor next to the main hall!" Everyone looked closely, Xie Wanyi whispered: "There should be people living in that room, because the window sills of the main hall are full of dust, but the windows and window sills of that room are quite clean, and there are still curtains hanging inside. It is to prevent outsiders from observing the situation inside." Bai Wanrong frowned anxiously: "Then what are we waiting for, just rush in and arrest people!" Du Ping hurriedly said: "No, I don't know the exact location of Tina and Little Furong, I'm afraid they will jump the wall in a hurry!" Su Yu thought for a moment and said: "Everyone stay here first, Xiaotang and I will go back and climb over the wall from the stupa at the back, so as to check the situation behind, and then we will quietly approach the suspicious room. I lost track of Tina and Little Furong, Du Ping, do you still remember my classic cry? Just take that as a signal, attack back and forth, and rush into the house together!" Du Ping said in a low voice: "I remember, once we went to handle a case, it was in a small mountain village deep in the northeast mountains, the wolf howling sound you imitated was so similar, I was really worried that you would call the real wolf Invite the group!" Su Yu nodded and said solemnly: "Take that as a signal, attack back and forth, and rush into the house together! Remember, if you don't hear my signal, don't act rashly. For the sake of Tina and Little Furong, we must not make any mistakes. .” "Remember!" Du Ping, Xie Wanyi, and Bai Wanrong all nodded in agreement. "You two must be careful!" Xie Wanyi also warned. Su Yu and Xiao Tang cat bowed their waists, and turned back to the wall behind the pagoda without a sound. Although the wall was tall, due to the age, there were already many dilapidated gaps. Su Yu gave Xiao Tang a look, signaling him to go up first, so Xiao Tang jumped up, and gently leaned on a gap in the middle of the wall, with his fingers firmly locked on the crack of the wall, and then used his strength to climb up deftly, a few times Climbing to the top of the wall, he looked into the wall for a while and made sure there was nothing unusual in the wall. He lowered his head and made a safe gesture to Su Yu, then jumped over the wall.Su Yu also climbed over the wall and landed lightly on the ground.At this time, Xiao Tang, who climbed over the wall first, was looking around the stupa. "How is it? Is there anything going on in the pagoda?" Su Yu followed and asked in a low voice. Xiao Tang said softly: "This pagoda is similar in structure to the Buddhist pagoda of Wat Arun in Bangkok. They are both Mahayana relic-style minarets. Unlike Chinese Buddhist pagodas, the pagoda is compacted inside and has no space. There are layers of stairs outside the pagoda. It goes straight to the top of the pagoda, and there are usually carved Buddha statues on the top of the pagoda. Thai people worship Buddha, and they should not dig any cellars under the Buddha statues, so this pagoda cannot be used to hide hostages. The land around the pagoda body, I I tried to step on it just now, and it doesn’t look like there is any mechanism. The most important point is that there are no murals painted on this pagoda.” Su Yu nodded slightly, he also observed around the pagoda for a while, and agreed with Xiao Tang's analysis. "It seems that if Tina and Little Furong are really in the White Dragon Temple, they will most likely be locked up in a room full of murals!" "The main hall? According to records, there were very exquisite murals painted in the main hall, especially the story of the Wanjin Buddha!" ​​Xiao Tang's eyes flashed. Su Yu whispered in his ear, "Let's go! Let's go to the most popular room first!" After saying that, he moved his footsteps lightly, running like a bobcat along the corridor under the pagoda to the front yard, and Xiao Tang immediately followed closely.When Su Yu is not handling cases, he maintains his physical exercise by climbing mountains or running ten kilometers every day. Therefore, if he runs, ordinary people will not be able to keep up. However, Xiao Tang seems to be no less inferior. At the same time, they came to the window of the side room next to the main hall, leaned against the wall, and listened carefully to the movement inside. A tangy aroma of rice floated into the noses of the two of them first. An old man asked in a hoarse voice: "Aqiu, what time is it now? Is it dark? Should you go down and deliver food to the mother and daughter! Jinpeng and Yinpeng said when they left that they were very happy. It is important not to starve them to death." An old woman's voice replied: "There's nothing to be afraid of if you're hungry, you won't die of hunger! It's just getting dark, so I'll go down and deliver food to them!" Both Su Yu and Xiao Tang couldn't help being shocked, and exchanged an excited look! It seems that Tina and Little Furong are indeed hiding in this ancient temple, and their lives are safe now! "Old man, you eat this bowl of rice first, I'll go down and deliver it!" As the old woman spoke, footsteps came towards the door.Su Yu and Xiao Tang moved almost at the same time, dodging behind the pillars on both sides of the corridor outside the door. After a while, the door opened, and an old woman wearing a black headscarf and local mountain folk costume came out.Carrying the lunch box in her hand, she walked straight along the corridor to the main hall. Su Yu and Xiao Tang hurriedly held their breaths, and followed the old woman through the winding corridor all the way to the door of the main hall. The old woman climbed the stone steps, untied a key from her belt, and opened the door. He unlocked the big lock on the door of the main hall, pushed the door open, took off his shoes, and stepped in. Su Yu and Xiao Tang didn't dare to rush in, but hid behind the pillars outside the door and observed inside the hall.It turned out that the main hall was very spacious and bright. A statue of King Manglai holding a blue sword stood in the center of the hall, which was slightly smaller than the statue outside. Sure enough, the walls on all sides were painted with bright and colorful murals.The old woman walked into the hall, first bowed deeply to the statue of King Manglai, then got up and walked around the statue, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. After waiting for a while, but the old woman did not come out, Su Yu gestured to Xiao Tang to enter, and the two of them, one in front of the other, skimmed over the stone steps and lightly jumped into the hall.Unexpectedly, as soon as the figures of the two fell, the two originally opened hall doors were closed silently, and a thick black cloth curtain suddenly hung down on the four walls of the hall, covering everything that could be seen. The light-transmitting windows are tightly covered.In an instant, the entire main hall became pitch black, and it was almost impossible to see your fingers. "Not good! Little Tang be careful!" Su Yu just had time to finish shouting this sentence, when he felt a sharp cold light hit his face!He subconsciously turned his body to the side to avoid the hidden weapon, then rolled over on the spot, drew his gun in his hand, and fired a shot in the direction of the hidden weapon.This series of actions sounds complicated, but actually only takes place in a few seconds.When the gunshot rang out, Su Yu only heard a scream and the sound of a person landing heavily, and then, a flame lit up, and Xiao Tang's anxious face appeared in the flame. "Su Yu, are you okay?" "It's okay. It's a good thing that you still have this booklet, which comes in handy at this time. Did the old woman plot against you?" Su Yu jumped forward, stood up, and asked with concern. Xiao Tang took his hand and said with a smile: "I'm fine, she also sent me a hidden weapon, but I dodged it! I have heard that the mountain people in this area are good at blowing out poisonous stings with blowpipes, it must be that What a joke! The old woman must have been seriously injured when she shot you." Su Yu nodded and said: "I think so, let's go and have a look!" The two of them quickly found the old woman lying curled up on the ground behind the statue by the light of the fire.She clutched her chest, traces of blood continued to ooze out, obviously hurting her vitals.A section of bamboo pipe and several poisonous thorns were scattered on the ground. 苏雨先蹲下身，封了她几处穴道，暂时止住了出血。随即厉声道：“我知道你是幽灵之翼组织的人，现在你伤到了心脏，这都是你想暗算我们的结果。如果你想保住命，就必须要和我们合作，只要我们救出被你们囚禁的那母女俩，就可以马上送你去最近的医院救治！说吧，她们俩应该就在这座神殿下面的地窖里，开关在哪儿？” 那老妇呼呼地喘着粗气，胸口不断起伏着，她注视着苏雨半晌，缓缓道：“你怎么知道神殿下面有个地窖？我知道了，你就是那个中国人苏雨吧，怪不得金鹏银鹏走的时候说要特别当心你，你果然身手了得！我栽在你手中也不算丢人！我知道，我伤得太重，活不成了，要我说出那母女俩在那儿也可以，只是，我那老头子，他瞎了，也不是我们组织内的人，你们保证别为难他！” 小唐一皱眉道：“谁知道你说的是不是实话，也许就是想让我们放过你的同伙！” 苏雨道：“这件事，她没说谎，她那老伴刚才明明坐在窗户前，却问她天黑了没有，可见眼睛是看不见的！好吧，我保证，不会为难你的老伴。快说，地窖的开关在哪儿？” 老妇声音颤抖地说：“你苏雨是说话算数的人，我就相信你！那地窖的开关就是神像手中宝剑上的那颗宝石！向左三次，再向右三次！”她说着，竭力举起右手指向神像，似乎还要说什么，但是，突然脸色开始渐渐发青，浑身战栗，头一歪，身子瘫软了下去，一动不动了。 苏雨忙握住她的右手，搭了搭脉搏后起身道：“她死了！” 小唐惊诧道：“怎么会这样，刚才她虽然受了重伤，但是你已经帮她封住穴道，止住了血，暂时应该不会有生命危险！” “从脉象上来看，她其实早已经中了致命的毒，只是这种毒在身体里隐忍未发。但是我刚才那一枪令她受了伤，毒素就很快地通过血管流经全身，毒发身亡！” “中了毒？” “对！这种毒像是泰国巫师所调制的蛊毒！蛊毒往往是不知不觉地进入人的身体，不会马上发作出来，而是受到某种刺激才会发作！这个老妇既然是幽灵之翼的人，我想很可能是他们的首领令她在毫无察觉的情况下中了毒！” 小唐眼光一闪：“难道是他们的首领要杀他们灭口！那刚才屋里的那个瞎老头呢？” 苏雨点头道：“先救蒂娜和小芙蓉要紧！”说着，他伸手握住宝剑上的那颗宝石，向左三次，再向右三次，果然，哗啦一声，芒莱王神像脚底缓缓裂开了一条缝隙，一条曲折的石梯通往幽暗的地底深处。 “蒂娜！小芙蓉！”苏雨忙趴在地洞口，大声叫道。 “我们在这儿！”不一会儿，地洞下传来了一阵低低的呻吟声。一个小女孩的声音怯怯地回答道。 “她们就在下面！”苏雨兴奋地说，随即仰起脖子，撮起嘴巴，朝着殿外学了几声狼嚎，给杜平和谢婉仪发出了信号。随即他示意小唐守在洞口，自己则慢慢地顺着石阶走了下去。 这地窖里面竟然不是暗无天日，而是从凿在墙上的通气孔中透出幽幽的光线。借着微弱的光，苏雨看见一个女人正靠在墙根边，呆呆地望着他。一个十来岁的小女孩则静静地伏在母亲身边。 “蒂娜！是我，苏雨！你觉得怎么样？”苏雨忙走过去，扶起这个女人，上下打量着，她看上去并没有受伤，但是显得很虚弱，站都站不稳。 她用微弱的声音说道：“是苏雨，你们，终于来了，我……我吃了她们送来的饭菜，这几天觉得身子越来越没有力气了。我真担心小芙蓉。” 苏雨忙安慰道：“不要紧，他们为了防止你逃走，可能故意在你饭菜里下了迷药，小芙蓉的饭菜里应该没有，她的精神很好！” 这时，杜平一边顺着石阶飞跑而来一边大声叫着“蒂娜，你怎么样？小芙蓉！你在哪儿？爸爸来救你了！” 小芙蓉一见几个月没看见的父亲，惊喜地扑了上去，在杜平怀里放声大哭。蒂娜也跟着低低地抽泣起来。杜平见妻女如此惨状，竟然也抑制不住，哭出了声，一家三口一时抱头痛哭。 跟着走下石阶的谢婉仪和白宛蓉走到苏雨身边，一见这情景，眼圈不由得也红了。 苏雨走过去，拍拍杜平的肩膀，低声道：“别伤心了，这里不宜久留，这间神庙很有古怪！我们要赶紧离开下山去。”谢婉仪和白宛蓉也连忙劝慰蒂娜和小芙蓉几句，三人这才止住了哭声。众人刚定了定心神，打算走出地窖，突然，地窖外传来一阵轰隆隆的巨响。头顶上的神殿似乎在剧烈地摇晃着，众人一惊，这时，小唐突然顺着石阶跑了下来，脸色大变，大声道：“雨哥，外面的情形很不对头！” 苏雨忙奔到洞口向外张望，原来，殿内那座芒莱王神像此时已经裂开了几个大口子，神像表面的油漆开始一块块地剥落下来，而整间神殿的地面和墙壁都在剧烈地摇晃着，似乎这座神殿马上就要倒塌了！ 神像的头部突然从身体上断裂开来，轰的一声从高处落下，砸在苏雨的脚边。 “不好！神殿马上就要塌了！现在无法出去了，大家暂时全都待在地洞里，一会儿，上面的砖块水泥块就要滚进洞里来了，为了安全，我们尽量往地洞的里面走！杜平、婉仪、小唐，照顾蒂娜和小芙蓉。”苏雨忙缩回头，跑下石阶，边跑边喊道。 谢婉仪、小唐和白宛蓉忙扶住蒂娜，拉着小芙蓉，往地洞的更深处跑去。苏雨和杜平跑在最后面，一边不断回头望去。 此时，在他们的头顶上不断发出巨大的声响，似乎是那座神殿正在被巨兽吞噬着，大块大块的砖瓦水泥块从洞口滚了下来，不一会儿，就封住了本来就不大的洞口，整个地洞变得异常阴暗起来。 苏雨这才发现，这间地洞异常狭长，一行人跑了好一会儿才跑到了一面石壁前停下。此时外面突然变得一片死寂，这寂静中似乎含着某种可怕的意味。 大家互相望望，小唐先开口道：“看来通往神殿的洞口已经被完全封死了！我们别想从那里出去了！” 杜平扶着蒂娜在石壁边缓缓地坐下，由于体力不支，只跑了这短短几百米，蒂娜已经是气喘吁吁地靠在杜平怀中。小芙蓉乖巧地帮母亲擦着额头渗出的汗珠。 白宛蓉一跺脚道：“怎么办？难道我们真的要被困在这里了！” 谢婉仪蹲下身摸摸小芙蓉的头，道：“别急！天无绝人之路，我们一定能走出去的！” 苏雨默默地走到石壁边，伏在石壁上，一边到处敲击着一边侧耳听着。他缓缓道：“这石壁摸上去不像一般石壁那样潮湿，相反有点温热的感觉。从敲击声上来听，石壁那边似乎是空的，这石壁应该是一道门，通向别处。只是不知道开关在哪里。” 小唐也走过来，在石壁上四处抚摸查看了一会儿，皱起眉头，摇摇头道：“可是找不到任何开关之类的东西。” 这时，小芙蓉突然插嘴道：“叔叔，这个石壁很神奇，是可以穿过去的。有一天晚上，妈妈睡着了，我看见一位很漂亮的阿姨穿过这面石壁走了进来，就像故事里的神仙一样。我连忙闭起眼睛装睡，她走过来盯着我们看了一会儿，又穿过石壁走了。” 这句话令众人都大吃一惊，一时间摸不着头脑。苏雨马上走过来，温和地问道：“小芙蓉，你告诉苏叔叔，那天晚上进来的那位阿姨长得什么样？她又是如何穿过这面石壁的呢？她的手有没有触摸石壁上的什么地方？” 小芙蓉偏着头想了想说：“她个子很高，皮肤雪白，长得非常美，像童话书里的公主，对了，她的手指又细又长。她穿过那面石壁的时候，先伸出手按上去，整个手掌就慢慢地陷入到石壁里去了。然后，她整个人就渐渐地走了进去，不见了，就像爸爸跟我说的茅山道士一样。” 谢婉仪一惊，低声对苏雨道：“苏雨，这种开门的方法是不是很像天堂之翼的幻影墙？” 苏雨微微点头道：“不错！怪不得这石壁有些温热，看来是由各种感应电路制作而成的。这道门是完全依靠人体自身的热量产生的微电流来感应打开的。我先试试，如果成功了，大家都照样子过来。”说着，他起身来到石壁前，举起手掌，缓缓地向着石壁推去。 苏雨的手掌在接触到石壁的那一刹那，有种微微灼伤的感觉，但随即就深深地陷了进去，如同被吸盘吸住了似的，他整个身子被吸进了那面石壁之中。苏雨穿过石壁后，才发现那边竟是一条漆黑悠长的甬道。不一会儿，其他人都穿过了石壁，来到甬道中。 苏雨沉声道：“这条甬道里很黑，情况不明，大家一个跟着一个，别掉队，小唐在前面领路，婉仪、宛蓉你们陪着蒂娜和小芙蓉，我和杜平在最后。大家手里的枪都准备好。” 小唐打开手中的火折子，走在最前面，众人都鱼贯其后。这阴森的甬道似乎是修建在山腹之中，除了回响着轻轻的脚步声，就只有黑暗中蛰伏的蝙蝠们偶然拍动翅膀的声音，大家的神经都高度紧张着，小心翼翼地向前走去，走着走着，前面出现了一条陡峭的石阶，石阶尽头隐隐露出一片亮光，看情形是直通往出口。 众人的精神都为之一振，顺着石梯缓缓登上，越接近洞口，一阵阵激荡的流水之声显得越近。
