Evil Master and Disciple

Ye Feng was very shocked at first. Why did the Buddhist monks dig so deep here?

After thinking about it, I understood.

This is not Lingshan, this is the capital.

The area of ​​Bailing Temple is not very large. If one wants to expand the area of ​​the entire underground world as much as possible, it can only be extended in all directions.

It's okay if it's within the scope of Bailing Temple, but if it's beyond the scope of Bailing Temple, it's very likely to be discovered if the excavation is too shallow.

So these monks turned into groundhogs and kept digging down.

This underground world is huge and silent, without any sound.

After walking down the stairs, there is an open space that can accommodate hundreds of people. It is surrounded by solid rock walls and a stone statue of Buddha is placed in the middle.

You can see three channels extending in different directions.

Monk Fayuan led the two of them to the middle passage.

Ye Feng followed behind and said, "Brother Fayuan, is Fairy Liunian the only one placed here, or are all the disciples of the Jade Maiden Sect who abandoned their swords and surrendered that night imprisoned here?"

Monk Fayuan said, "There's only Fairy Liunian here. This place is secluded, but it's not absolutely safe. If so many disciples of the Jade Maiden Sect were escorted here that night, they would definitely have left clues, and the Jade Maiden Sect's people might have been able to find this place.

If there was only Fairy Liunian, then the target would be much smaller."

Ye Feng asked, "Where did you take all the disciples of the Jade Maiden Sect?"

Monk Fayuan, who was walking in front, did not answer, but smiled and said, "Amitabha, Junior Brother Ye, don't worry. We Buddhists have always been compassionate and will not harm the female disciples of the Jade Maiden Sect."

Ye Feng frowned.

He just felt that Monk Fayuan was a straightforward person today, but he didn't expect that he would hide something from him again at this time.

Ye Feng didn't care when he saw that Monk Fayuan refused to tell him the whereabouts of the female disciples of the Jade Maiden Sect.

There are so many female disciples in the Jade Maiden Sect, but he only knows Chu Liunian.

As for the other female disciples, if they fall into the hands of the Yunhai Sect, their lives may be in danger.

Now that the group of female disciples are in the hands of Lingtai Temple, at least their safety can be guaranteed.

Walking in the silent and dim passage, Ye Feng said, "Brother Fayuan, how did you manage to dig such a huge underground cave in the capital? Judging from its size, it should be more than enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people."

Unexpectedly, Fa Yuan shook his head slightly and said, "This underground world was not dug by us Buddhists."

"what?"

"what?"

Ye Feng and Ling Yunzhi were both stunned when they heard this.

Ye Feng asked, "If you didn't dig it, then who did?"

Fa Yuan shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know. This underground world has existed for a very long time. We Buddhists discovered it during the war in the capital over two thousand years ago.

At that time, the capital city was razed to the ground in the war, and the Confucian sage and the current emperor Taizu planned to rebuild the capital city on the ruins.

The capital city is within the jurisdiction of our Lingtai Temple, so Lingtai Temple also sent many monks to help clean up the ruins.

This underground relic was accidentally discovered by monks when they were clearing the ruins.

Later we bought this piece of land and built Bailing Temple."

"Oh I got it……"

Ye Feng and Ling Yunzhi became interested at the same time.

If it was dug by the Buddhists themselves, then this place would be a cellar.

But if this place has existed for countless years, it is not a cellar, but a relic.

Ling Yunzhi stroked his chin and said, "The capital is a place where hundreds of meridians converge. For 20,000 to 30,000 years, it has been the capital of every dynasty. Mortals have never ceased to live here. Who on earth dug up such a place, and when? To be so generous, he must be no ordinary person, he must be a cultivator. Old Ye, who do you think it could be?"

Ye Feng said unhappily, "You Qingyun Pavilion has information about the human world, and you ask me?"

Ling Yunzhi smiled awkwardly.

That’s true. Even Qingyun Pavilion didn’t know there was such a place in the capital, so how could Ye Feng know about it?

Monk Fayuan said, "This place has existed for quite some time, probably tens of thousands of years. There are some relics inside. If you are interested, you can take a look."

"Oh, these are the relics left by the ancient immortals. I must visit them!"

Ye Feng found this place very strange. The passage was very long and surrounded by hard stone walls, but there were no caves or stone chambers on both sides of the passage.

This is actually just a simple passage.

This is very unreasonable.

For such a huge underground relic, why was such a long passage carved out of the rock?

And there's more than one.

Before entering this passage, Ye Feng noticed that there were three passages in this place, and the one Fa Yuan led them into was the middle one.

After about four or five minutes, a faint light suddenly appeared in front.

As we continued to move forward, the light gradually became brighter.

Only then did Ye Feng discover that there was a cave in front of them.

Fa Yuan said, "Fairy Liunian is recuperating in the cave ahead."

This is also a man-made cave. The space inside is not small, much larger than the open space where the stone statue of Buddha was placed when you first entered.

The cave is not dark. There are many small glowing balls hanging on the rock walls and the dome, like old-fashioned tungsten filament bulbs, emitting warm yellow light.

Ye Feng didn't care at first, but the next moment, he suddenly turned his head and looked at those things.

His expression suddenly changed.

"Oh my god, what am I seeing... This... Is this a light bulb? Where does the electricity come from?"

Ye Feng was completely stunned.

Because the dozen or so glowing balls hanging in this cave don't look like tungsten filament lamps, damn, these things are tungsten filament lamps!

Each bulb is connected to a long wire, which is definitely the wire that provides power to the bulb.

Seeing Ye Feng looking at these glowing objects in astonishment, Ling Yunzhi laughed and said, "Old Ye, are you so surprised by some glowing little magic tools? It seems that you haven't seen much of the world~"

Ye Feng's body trembled slightly, and his consciousness gradually returned.

"You...you said this is a magical weapon?"

Ye Feng pointed at a tungsten filament lamp and asked in surprise.

Ling Yunzhi nodded and said, "That should be the case. The weapon refining techniques in the human world are very mysterious and can produce many strange and bizarre magical instruments, such as the glowing magical instruments, which we also have in Qingyun Pavilion.

Since Qingyun Pavilion holds a large amount of intelligence, most of which is recorded in paper form, open flames are strictly prohibited in most areas of Qingyun Pavilion, and at night, some luminous instruments are used for lighting.

"Oh, you guys use this kind of thing too... with wires?"

"Wires? What the hell? We in Qingyun Pavilion don't use this kind of thing..."

At this time, Fa Yuan asked in surprise: "Junior Brother Ye, do you know these mysterious glowing objects?"

"Well, I guess I know him, Senior Brother Fayuan... From what you said, you don't know him?"

Fa Yuan shook his head slightly and said, "When we Buddhists discovered this place, these glowing objects already existed. They are part of this ancient ruins. Moreover, these objects are very magical, like a sophisticated mechanism that can make them glow or go out at will."
