Chapter 419 Rainbow
Aning's fear of this place had now penetrated to the bone.
She stayed close to Cheng Feng the whole way, not daring to fall behind. Hei Xiazi, having received the money, treated this subcontractor fairly well, walking silently at the back of the group.
After walking several hundred meters along this relatively wide gap, traces of artificial carving began to appear.
This is a Bon temple, carved from a single massive rock using simple carving techniques, unlike typical stone temples.
This stone temple is completely sealed off. You can see areas of different colors on the temple, which were probably painted over later.
The three of them walked up to the stone temple and looked it over.
With a soft thud, Black Bear tapped the spot on the stone, which was a different color from the stone, twice with the hard surface of his combat boots.
This area was already very thin and brittle, and it shattered into pieces after being hit by the bear.
"It's a tsa tsa. It seems this is the burial place of a high-ranking Bon monk."
The so-called "tsa-tsa" is a primitive clay sculpture of a deity, and the method of making this kind of deity is very convenient.
First, you make a mold, then put the right amount of clay inside and flatten it. Once the clay is almost dry, you can take out a complete rub.
The function of these statues is similar to that of Taoist talismans; they are used to ward off evil spirits.
After a brief inspection, Cheng Feng discovered that all of these rubbings had their backs facing outwards, meaning they were suppressing something inside the stone temple.
"It is said that high-ranking Bon monks transform into rainbows during cremation. These can be understood as relics, but unlike Buddhist relics,..."
In Bon religion, rainbows can transform into monsters, which is why high-ranking monks often find these large stones upon their passing.
After hollowing out the interior, he instructed his disciples to dismember his body and seal it inside the boulder using a special method, to prevent it from transforming into a malevolent rainbow that could harm his own people.
Hei Xiazi explained in great detail. Ever since Cheng Feng exposed his connection with Wu Sansheng and others, he stopped pretending and openly shared what he knew.
"Blind man, since you know what this thing is, why did you touch it? I heard a noise inside, it must have been woken up by your movement."
Cheng Feng looked at Hei Xiazi speechlessly, as if to say, "You little brat, are you looking for trouble?"
After hearing this, Aning took a few steps back and drew her dagger.
The terrain here is too narrow to use a gun, so I can only use a dagger for self-defense.
"It's alright, boss. These wipes contain something to control the rainbow, so it can't get out."
Hei Xiazi never expected that he would be proven wrong so quickly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the stone temple began to crumble, and the outer shell that had been sealed off by the stone temple completely shattered.
Meanwhile, the "Caca," which Hei Xiazi had mentioned restraining Hong, was suddenly pushed outside.
"That doesn't make sense. Could it be that the rainbow inside is too fierce?"
Black Bear walked forward in surprise. Since he had caused this himself, he might as well deal with it himself.
Just as Black Bear approached the stone temple, Chacha was completely knocked over. Immediately afterwards, a face the size of a fist squeezed out of the hole.
The scene at that moment resembled a stone giving birth, with the child's head being crushed.
"This thing is a rainbow? It even has a human face!"
Ah Ning stayed by Cheng Feng's side and spoke in a low voice.
"After all, it was born from a human being, so it's normal for it to look like a human."
While Cheng Feng and A Ning were talking, Hei Xiazi leisurely picked up a shattered piece of glass.
He then pinched and rubbed it with his hand, and it crumbled into powder. At this moment, the face of the person who had emerged from the hole was continuously elongating.
Half of his body was already exposed.
Judging from the half of its body that's sticking out, it looks exactly like a large leech with human facial features.
The body is elastic, and the skin is as tough as rubber.
"What is Mr. Qi doing?"
With Cheng Feng there to keep things under control, A Ning wasn't too worried. After all, Cheng Feng's relationship with Hei Xiazi was much stronger than his relationship with hers.
Since he looked calm, it meant that Hei Xiazi could definitely deal with this monster.
"The blind man was right before; the clay used to make tsa-tsa contains something that counteracts rainbows."
As Cheng Feng spoke, Hei Xiazi had already covered his hands with the clay he was making for the chacha.
Just as Hong was about to burst out, Hei Xiazi grabbed Hong's body with both hands.
Black Bear's expression changed. He felt as if he had grabbed an incredibly strong python and was almost broken free by it.
"Boss, do me a favor and use the floor rag to bury this thing!"
Hei Xiazi slammed Hong to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust as she struggled, but Hei Xiazi couldn't dodge. If he made any other move, Hong would inevitably slip out of his control.
"A-Ning, you go."
Cheng Feng, being kind-hearted, entrusted the task of personally eliminating the monster to A Ning.
Ah Ning didn't hesitate. She quickly stepped forward, grabbed the broken chacha, smashed it with her dagger, and threw it at Hong.
Not long after, Hong, who had been held down by the blind man, stopped moving, and only then did he call for Aning to stop.
"It's all sorted out. I told you to control this thing. What happened just now must have been a low-probability event."
The blind man had previously talked to Cheng Feng about how he had unexpectedly met an old monk from the Bon religion, and thus obtained a lot of valuable information.
"While you were burying it, I would have burned this thing to ashes long ago. What kind of restraint is it if it can't be destroyed instantly?"
After saying that, Cheng Feng went to the boulder and punched it.
With a muffled boom, the boulder shattered completely.
Black Bear and Ah Ning were startled and quickly dodged the rolling rocks.
"Boss, there's no need for us to take our anger out on someone else's small place!"
Black Bear fanned the dust with his hand and made a sarcastic remark.
"Don't forget we are the Unloading Warriors. Now that we've found the coffin, there's no reason not to open it."
Although this stone temple has the appearance of a temple, it is actually the coffin of a high-ranking Bon monk.
"Ahem... Actually, I think we can be a little gentler, otherwise any good things are easily damaged."
Ah Ning wiped the dust off her face, leaving several dark marks from the sweat.
“That makes sense. Now that we’ve found the stone temple, we’ll leave it to you to open gently.”
As he spoke, Cheng Feng waved his hand, creating a gust of wind that swept away the dust, revealing the burial objects of the Bon monk inside the stone temple.
Ah Ning's expression stiffened, inwardly cursing herself for being so talkative.
We can only pray that there won't be any more of these things.
Many precious books were buried with high-ranking Bon monks. They may not be worth much money, but they are of great significance for historical research.
If you encounter an expert who studies this kind of history, you should be able to get a good price for it.
Besides scriptures, the stone temple also contains some objects made of pure gold, such as bells and drums, which are ritual implements.
Cheng Feng didn't pick and choose, and collected them all.
Cheng Feng doesn't care about the value; what matters is that the tradition of the Xieling sect cannot be lost.
"The boss truly lives up to his reputation as the leader of the Unloading Ridge faction; his actions are exactly like those of the Unloading Ridge faction!"
Whether it was mockery or flattery, Hei Xiazi gave Cheng Feng a thumbs up.
