Seeing this round and smooth cobble, Fang Tang was again fell into amazement.
But he was not the only one being amazed, so were the others. The secret setting of this Buddha statue is really exquisite. With a pure wooden structure, it even sets triple locks. The craft value of this mere Buddha statue could be extraordinary. Then what exactly is hidden in such an exquisite Buddha statue, Shariputra or Pattra-leaf scripture?
They never thought this turned out to be an ordinary cobblestone. Wang Ming couldn't accept this result and picked up this stone again to observe it carefully. However, its weight, smell, and the way it feels all tells him this is nothing but a cobblestone.
These people all felt like being ridiculed.
"Well…I guess there was a Buddhist treasure before, but it was found and stolen by someone. And this cobblestone might be put here by that thief." Wang Might thought a while and said.
His explanation solved the others' confusion, and they felt it made sense.
However, Fang Tang, who took over the cobblestone from Wang Ming and fell into his third amazement by looking at it.
[Beacon of Space in an unknown plane is discovered, the coordinate is unknown.]
The moment Fang Tang touched that cobblestone, the prompt tone of Alpha system alarmed in his mind.
This stone turned out to be a beacon of space of an unknown plane, which can help him get to another new plane through "Gate".
"Even though the original stuff inside is replaced, this statue itself still has great historical and archeological value. If you don't mind, I would like to purchase it for 200,000 yuan." Looking at Fang Tang's stunned expression, Wang Ming thought Fang Tang was disappointed by the result, so he comforted Fang Tang with that.
After hearing 200,000 Fang Tang came to his sense. He bought this statue for only 5,800 yuan, and there is no reason for him to say no when someone offers 200,000 yuan to buy it. Actually, the price of antiques changes a lot. For those who prefer to collect these kinds of antiques, they may think them valuable. However, for other collectors who are not interested in these kinds of antiques, these are not worth a dump.
"Thanks, Mr. Wang. I only have a small request. If you find other information about this Buddha statue, could you please let me know?" said Fang Tang.
About the secret in this cobblestone, Fang Tang doesn't know how to tell Wang Ming. This cobblestone is not a fake one that is being replaced by a real treasure. He is not sure if the original owner of this statue also knew the secret in this statue. It is really difficult for him to study the story behind this Buddha statue. Since Wang Ming is an expert in this field, it is better to leave it to him. Besides, Fang Tang could also make a lot of money from this. That can be called a sudden windfall. Perfect!
When Fang Tang made another profit, poor Meng Jingyi was still washing dishes in the kitchen.
And her mind was filled with what has been written in Mencius: "when Heaven is going to give a great responsibility to someone, it firstly makes his mind endure suffering. It makes his sinews and bones experience toil, and his body suffer hunger. It inflicts poverty and knocks down everything he tries to build. In this way Heaven stimulates his mind, stabilizes his temper and develops his weak points."
"Just as jade needs to be polished, one needs to go through trials and tribulations to be strong. Meng Jingyi, don't be afraid." While she was comforting herself, she also kept checking the kitchen door. In his mind, she struggled with herself a lot.
"You are a great young woman who has received 16 years of ideological education, and you were once an intern director for a legal system program, how could you even have the thought of having a dine and dash! To run or not, the door is there, neither far away nor near; likewise, to pay or not, the price is there, neither increasing nor decreasing." Meng Jingyi told herself.
Then, in her mind, she can't help having some weird ideas like 'some girls who owe money to others, under debt pressure, they end up sacrificing their vagina as the way to pay off'. Thinking of this, Meng Jingyi got more scared, and yet these eight bowls were not washed after half an hour.
When she is being both delusional and literary, that's really scary. But the scarier thing is the sewer pipe 10 meters below the ground Meng Jingyi was standing on.
Returning to the night two days ago.
Fang Tang poured the milk, in which the Godhood was soaked, to the sink. And the blackened milk, filled with Abyss Power from the other plane, flowed down the drain.
The sewer pipes in the old district have decayed due to the lack of repairing, and that black liquid leaked out at the corners of those pipes. In this dark and humid environment, the abyss power in milk seems to be re-liberated, spreading and evaporating to the surrounding, and covering the space around the gap between pipes.
The underground space here was originally the world of rats, cockroaches and other sewer creatures. They run in and out here, living and breeding. But now all the creatures that have run into the area covered by the black liquid are slowly dissolved in their scream.
The creatures that can survive in the sewers are species with very great vitality, so they were not completely dissolved. In great pain, their eyes got bloody red, and they began to bite each other. Even though half of their bodies were dissolved and the other half was injured severely, they still moved to bite other creatures screaming, till they completely turned into a pool of flesh and blood.
With the increasing residual limbs and flesh of these creatures, the black liquid was dyed into a red and black color. In the center there was a blood pool with clear red and black color.
This rolling blood pool has a great attraction to these sewer pipe creatures. More and more rats, cockroaches, and underground insects approached toward the direction of that blood pool.
Killings and deaths were occurring in this small area of the sewer pipe all the time, but no one saw this Shuraba as horror.
At the edge of this blood pool, some black worm eggs gradually appeared. And black abyss worms were hatched from these worm eggs, but these worms died quickly as soon as they were born, as if the air here was highly toxic to them. Inhaling the air, their body would get combusted spontaneously, and turned into ashes.
When the ashes of abyss worms merged into this red and black blood pool, there were, black, red and gray, three colors in this blood pool changing and merging.
Then the color of the newly born worm eggs became lighter and lighter, and they gradually became gray worm eggs with red lines. The abyss worms hatched from the eggs also turned gray. These gray mutant abyss worms wouldn't die right after their birth, but they are still very weak and fragile. If they got involved in the fight of other creatures, they would easily be torn off by mouse's sharp fangs, or be disassembled by cockroaches' mouthparts.
With fewer and fewer underground creatures approaching into the blood pool, there are more and more newly born mutant abyss worms. There would even be a group of mutant abyss worms besieging a mouse first, after killing it, they would then attack each other.
Very soon, mutant worms were the only ones alive, and they started to kill and devour each other.
Killing and devouring species of the same kind has become a new theme in this sewer Shuraba. The abyss worms that have swallowed the same species become bigger and stronger, and even grow sharp teeth and claws, which greatly increases their speed of killing.
After a time, don't know how long, a very strong abyss worm suddenly fell into stillness after killing another worm of its kind. And the blood around it became a vortex. Having absorbed the energy from the blood pool, its skin got as hard as concrete and formed into a firm shell.
Not long after that, this shell was torn from the inside, and a hideous creature emerged from it.
