There were still a few people who were not killed by the bomb and lying on the ground and crawled into the depths of the cave. The maze-like cave helped them, but the thick smoke filled the cave made them afraid to stand up. With their familiarity with the cave, they quickly ran into the cave.

Xu Cheng, Huang Meng and others gathered together to pursue the cave where the enemy fled. As the depth increased, the thick smoke became less and less, and the enemy's escape speed also accelerated. They occasionally fought back to prevent the pursuit behind. The depth of the cave was already pitch black, and they could not see their five fingers...

Yu Liujiang, Huang Meng, Xu Cheng and the other three took off the masks on their heads, turned on the strong lights and laser red dot emitters on their guns, and searched for them. Suddenly, gunshots sounded in front, causing Mars to shoot in the cave wall above their heads.

Huang Meng fought back fiercely for a while, and as soon as the guns stopped, the guns from there came again. The enemy was hiding behind the rocks, making it difficult for them to hit. The counterattack inside was significantly enhanced and no longer moved inward.

"They must have walked to the end of the cave and had no way to escape. Mengzi, Xu Cheng, bombard them with grenades." Yu Liujiang judged that the enemy might be forced into a dead end.

Huang Meng and Xu Cheng aimed the grenade launcher in the direction where there was a flash of light and fired it, "Boom, boom!"

After two loud bangs, the gunshots there suddenly stopped. They saw a ray of light shining into the dark cave, and part of the cave walls there were blown down.

Yu Liujiang and the other three chased the last drug dealer in the cave. After chasing to the end of the cave, they were desperately attacked by the drug dealer. Yu Liujiang ordered Huang Meng and Xu Cheng to use gun grenades to fight back at the drug dealer.

The huge explosive power of the grenade not only killed all the last two drug dealers guards, but also exploded a hole in the hole on one side of the cave. The light outside shone directly into the cave, making everyone's eyes hurt.

After the grenade exploded, Yu Liujiang and the others suddenly saw a light shining in at the end of the cave. The three of them slowly touched it. Two of them had been killed and had a lot of gravels on their bodies were crushed. Behind them, a hole of one meter square was also exploded.

"I didn't expect that the cave would explode, so I'll go out to see where it was?" Xu Cheng took the lead in getting out.

The three of them came out in a row, and a fresh air came to their faces. The three of them narrowed their eyes. Their eyes were not yet adapted to the bright light, and they all covered their eyes with their hands. After a few minutes, they slowly moved their palms away.

What appeared before them was a beautiful canyon. They were located in the middle of the valley, with cliffs dozens of meters high on both sides. The cliffs were covered with green plants. The bottom of the valley was more than ten meters away, and it was a narrow and long water surface of twenty or thirty meters wide.

The surroundings are full of strange flowers and plants. The fragrance of flowers comes to your nose, and the crisp birds singing echoes in the valley. Some of the plants beside them are all those they have never seen before.

"Wow... where is this? So beautiful, I feel like I'm entering a paradise." After the mission was successfully completed, Huang Meng was in a good mood and couldn't help but exclaim.

The three people's combat uniforms were already ragged. Their faces were as smoky as little ghosts. Their images were so inconsistent with the surrounding environment. Huang Meng laughed when he saw Yu Liujiang and Xu Cheng's appearance.

"Haha...Look at what have we all become? They all have big faces." As he said that, he walked to a pool below, put the gun on the stone next to him, picked up a handful of water, and brushed the water on his face.

Zhou Bin was still loyal to his duties at this time. Although the cave had been blown up, how many enemies were still alive on the island. It is hard to say. If they had not seen the bodies of Ma Hongbo and Ma Changfu in one day, they could not take it lightly.

Xu Cheng, who was washing his face, suddenly found a dark shadow in the water and swam towards Huang Meng quickly. He shouted, "Be careful, Brother Meng." He saw a six or seven-meter-long python, opened his bloody mouth and jumped out of the water, pounced on Huang Meng. The smell of his mouth was fishy.

Huang Meng was covering his hands on his face and washing his face with water. He closed his eyes and saw nothing. The python's big mouth was less than half a meter away from Huang Meng, so he had no chance to hide.

Yu Liujiang first reacted, and the assault rifle in his right hand was too late to lift it up. He stretched out the rifle with one hand, and a gunshot sounded, and a bullet rubbed Huang Meng's neck and shot into the giant python's mouth. The giant python's mouth hit Huang Meng's combat boots.

The brain was shattered with one shot, and the giant python died immediately, without even a chance to struggle.

At this time, Xu Cheng's gun also fired, and he rushed into the python's body. Huang Meng sat backwards on the ground. Xu Cheng rushed forward and grabbed his shoulder and dragged him away from the water.

The bloody smell of the dead python quickly attracted the likes around it. Several of them actually crawled out of the grass not far from them. One of the largest python opened its mouth to swallow the dead companion. The dead python was quickly swallowed into its belly. The bloody scene made the three tough guys frightened.

"My God, it was so dangerous just now." Huang Meng said with lingering fear at this time.

"It's really too dangerous. You almost got eaten by the python as a snack." Xu Cheng said gloatingly.

Huang Meng stabbed Xu Cheng, "What I meant was that you almost shot to death by you."

"It's not Brother Meng. You are so grateful that you don't repay the kindness and bite it back. Squad leader, please give me some reason."

"Okay, OK, don't make trouble for you two. Let's take a look around. I feel something strange here." Yu Liujiang stopped the two of them from joking, "Let's go to the valley on the right first."

Now that Ma Hongbo used to store drugs has been blown up, actually, the mission of the Pofeng Squad has been completed. As for the inspection of the corpse and the arrest of Ma Hongbo and Ma Changfu brothers, that is the work of the Armed Police Squadron.

The reason why Yu Liujiang is willing to take the risk to come here is due to this consideration.

After completing the task, the heavy burden on everyone's hearts will no longer exist. Naturally, you can observe everything around you with a leisurely look. If it weren't for the explosion wreckage not far away, this isolated island would be a good tourist place.

The three of them walked carefully along the right side of the valley. Yu Liujiang cut down a long wooden stick and moved weeds and shrubs in front. From time to time, poisonous snakes jumped out of the grass. He used the stick to sweep the poisonous snake out in the waist.

There were red centipedes more than a foot long and palm-sized scorpions crawling around in the grass and in the cracks of stones. If the three of them weren't wearing thick combat boots, they would have been easily bitten by these poisonous insects.

Yu Liujiang whispered to Zhou Bin, who was still alert in the forest, using a telephone. "You move slowly with us. Keep a distance of about 500 meters and never expose yourself!"

Zhou Bin's voice came from the phone: "Yes, squad leader, I understand."

After moving forward for more than a mile, the valley in front was blocked and there was no way out. Yu Liujiang took out the map, looked carefully for a long time, and then pointed to the blocking place and said: "Outside here is the valley we entered. If I was not wrong, a landslide a long time ago divided the valley into two sections."

"When I came the first two times, I always felt that there was something wrong with this ravine. Judging from the trend of the mountain, the ravine could not be so short. It turned out that it was cut off here."

"Squad leader, how long has it been blocked here?" Huang Meng asked.

"It's hard to say exactly, but it's been a hundred years since the cut-off of the trees on the cliff. In addition, you can observe that the ecological environment here is very different from the outside. The highest biological chain has been formed in the valley, and it will take a long time to be perfect."

The three of them turned back and began to explore the depths of the valley. Back at the entrance of the hole they exploded, the water below had returned to calm. The three of them paid special attention and took the assault rifle in their hands and walked carefully through the area.

Many wild monkeys jumped around the cliffs on both sides of the canyon, squeaking from time to time, as if warning them to the three strange intruders. I don’t know how there are so many wild animals in this isolated island, from pythons to monkeys.

The valley not far ahead suddenly narrowed, and the mountains on both sides seemed to be leaning against each other. When they walked closer, they actually found artificially excavated stone steps passing through the cracks of the mountain's walls.

"You see, there are steps here. People must have come often in the past." Huang Meng pointed to the steps in front of him and said.

Passing through the narrow and long mountain crack, I suddenly realized that there was a small oval basin inside, which was really a winding place. The scenery here was a hundred times better than the valley outside.

There are many trees here that are obviously artificially cultivated. The neatly arranged pine and cypress are already very simple, showing a long history. In the shade of pine and cypress, you can vaguely see the unique spire on the Burmese Temple pagoda.

"Squad leader, look at the buildings there." Xu Cheng pointed to the distance and said.

"Well, it's like a pagoda. Let's go over and take a look." Yu Liujiang finished speaking with a surprised expression and walked towards the pagoda first.

The three of them walked along the weedy mountain path and passed through a forest. In front of them was a large pagoda built against the mountain. This pagoda was completely built of stone. The pagoda is more than 20 meters high, with a large scale and a very imposing momentum. The spire with gold on the top of the pagoda shows its glory in the past.

There is a pair of stone lions on both sides of the main entrance of the tower, and the four corners of the tower are sphinxes. The wooden gate of the tower cannot withstand the wind and rain and has rotted. Yu Liujiang and the others climbed more than ten steps and came to the main entrance of the pagoda. They pushed open the hidden gate with their hands, and saw that there were several piles of white bones on the ground in the tower.

In the middle of the tower is the base of the Buddha statue, and there is a white skeleton sitting cross-legged leaning against the base of the Buddha statue. However, there is no Buddha statue on the base.

The scene in the tower made them puzzled. Judging from the postures of these bones, they did not suffer violence during their lifetime, but why were they not buried after death?

The key is why there are no Buddha statues in the pagoda? It is impossible for pagodas of this size to be without Buddha statues. The only explanation is that the Buddha statues were removed, so who did it be removed?

Although the Hualian government vigorously suppressed Buddhism, many people still respect Buddhism very much and will never destroy the Buddha statue casually. Yu Liujiang walked in the tower for a long time but did not come up with the result. He told Huang Meng and Xu Cheng about his doubts.

"I heard from my father that Buddhism has always been a luxury. It is made of bronze statues, and even shallower temples use gold plated or even pure gold, called gilded bodies. Will it refer to this place? Was it stolen because this is a golden Buddha?" Huang Meng suddenly remembered what his father said about Buddhism and told Yu Liujiang about this.

"It seems that Buddhist temples are the most likely to become targets that others covet in troubled times. It is probably because they make the Buddha statues too valuable and cause others to prolong them. Huang Meng said it well." Yu Liujiang nodded and said.

"It's not like outsiders here. There is only one most reasonable explanation." Yu Liujiang thought for a while, "A long time ago, there was a heavy rain here, causing a landslide and cut off the valley in the middle. When we came, we could see that it was full of cliffs and cliffs. Except for walking from the bottom of the valley, we couldn't get out of other places at all."

"After the valley was blocked, people outside could not enter, and people inside could not go out. Moreover, the government ordered the ban on the spread of Buddhism, and confiscated a lot of Buddhist assets. I guess the bones in the pagoda must be monks who were unwilling to leave and starved to death. Look at the skeleton sitting cross-legged, only monks would die in this posture."

"Brother said it makes sense, so how do you explain this Buddha statue?"

"I think it is very likely that the Golden Buddha is worshipped here, as Huang Meng said. The monks here are afraid that after their death, the Buddha statue will be stolen and damaged, so they must have hidden the Buddha statue before they die."

"Are we looking for it? See if there is really a golden Buddha statue?" Huang Meng's eyes glowed and asked Yu Liujiang what he meant.

"Okay, I think if it is really like that, the Buddha statue will not hide too far. It should be around the pagoda, let's look." Yu Liujiang was also moved. If there was a golden Buddha statue, the four of them would have posted it. After that, the three of them searched carefully around them.

Inside and around the tower, Yu Liujiang and the other two found no clues after detailed search. Yu Liujiang said to Huang Meng and Zhang Xucheng: "Forget it, don't look for it anymore, this is just our speculation. It may not be true."

The three of them returned to the tower, and Yu Liujiang looked at the piles of bones and said, "Since we have come here, it is God's will. We have buried them and let them be buried in peace. Huang Meng, you and Xu Cheng dig a few soil pits beside the pagoda. Let's bury these monks."

Huang Meng and Xu Cheng went outside the pagoda and quickly dug out several pits with a saber. Then they used a fallen door panel to move the corpses into the pit one by one.

Finally, he came to the corpse leaning against the base of the Buddha statue. Yu Liujiang closed his hands sincerely, saluted to the corpse sitting cross-legged, and said, "Dust returns to dust and soil, we buried you and let you be buried in peace."

The three of them gently held the corpse sitting cross-legged onto the wooden board with their hands. They lifted the corpse and walked outwards. Yu Liujiang was at the end. After lifting the corpse, he just stepped on the stone brick where the corpse was sitting.

Hearing a clicking sound under his feet, Yu Liujiang felt the stones laid on the ground under his feet sinking. Huang Meng and Xu Cheng in front also heard the sound, and turned around and asked, "What's wrong? Where is the sound?"

"Let the bones down first." Yu Liujiang said to the two of them.

At this moment, I heard the wall near the pagoda, and a hole a half meter wide and more than one meter high opened on the stone wall. Because the pagoda was built against a cliff, the wall inside was close to the cliff.

Unexpectedly, the pagoda was built in front of a cave. The mechanism where the cave was opened was under the corpse of the monk. The three of them were amazed. There was such an exquisitely designed pagoda on a small island.

Yu Liujiang and the other two walked around the base of the Buddha statue and came to the opening entrance. They looked inside and saw that it was gloomy and dark inside, and could not see anything.

"I'll go in and take a look." Huang Meng said as he was about to climb into the cave.

"Wait a minute, light a torch and throw it in and take a look," Yu Liujiang stopped Huang Meng's impulse.

Xu Cheng went out to find a dry branch with pine oil, lit it, threw the torch into the hole, but saw that the torch was burning very vigorously, Yu Liujiang said, "You can go in."

Huang Meng was the first to enter the entrance of the cave, followed closely behind, Yu Liujiang and Xu Cheng also entered the entrance of the cave. After entering the entrance of the cave, the cave was very wide, three or four meters wide and four or five meters high. They turned on the strong lights mounted on the guns and walked into the cave.

After walking forty or fifty meters, he found that there was a large cave inside, with various beautiful stalactites, crystal clear and colorful. The three of them had no time to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the cave, so they searched in the cave separately. Suddenly, Huang Meng shouted, "Squad leader, come here."

Yu Liujiang and Xu Cheng ran over and saw three Buddha statues on a stone table next to the cave.

The three Buddha statues are one tall and two short. The Buddha statues are shining with golden light. Although they are in the dark and wet cave, they are still dazzling. The tall Buddha statues are about one meter and two, and the two are seventy or eighty centimeters tall. The tall Buddha statues are a Buddha statue standing on the lotus plate.

One hand on the chest of the Buddha statue is in the shape of an orchid finger, and a huge night pearl was pinched with the middle finger and thumb, emitting an intoxicating light under the light. The two short ones are Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and the two statues of the Bodhisattva are also dazzling in golden light.

The three of them were stunned by the glory of the Golden Buddha. They watched for a long time without a single person talking. Finally, Xu Cheng broke the silence, "It's really the Golden Buddha, so beautiful."

"It's so beautiful... the peerless fine product is really exquisite..." Yu Liujiang stretched out his hand to touch the Golden Buddha, but his hand stopped in the air. He couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.

"It's hard to imagine that it's not in vain to see such a treasure." Huang Meng said with emotion.

The three of them looked around the Golden Buddha for half an hour, as if they had forgotten the existence of time. "This big guy may weigh hundreds of pounds, how can we get them out?" Xu Cheng said to himself.

Yu Liujiang pondered for a long time and made a decision that surprised Huang Meng and Xu Cheng, "No, we can't move these three golden Buddhas for the time being."
