Xiahou Tian asked all the sedan chairmen to exit the temple gate. The mountain gate is hundreds of steps away from the temple. When you retreat there, you can't hear or see the situation here.

After the sedan chairmen retreated, Xie Zhigao got out of the sedan chair, turned around and picked Xiahou Tian out of the sedan chair, threw it on the ground, making a dull thud.

As the road was bumpy, Xiahoutian's stomach hurt even more severely, and his sweat fell down. Now that Xie Zhigao threw it on the ground, he felt even more painful as if he was heartbroken, and he moaned in pain while covering his stomach.

Xie Zhigao kicked him and asked, "Where is the thing? My patience is limited. If you dare to fool me, I will ask you to splatter blood in the temple."

Xiahou Tian pointed to the largest Buddha statue and said, "Just in the belly of the Buddha statue, you can take out the things inside by breaking the Buddha statue."

"Don't lie to me."

"Of course I won't lie to you. Can I escape if I lie to you? My stomach is almost hurting. That thing is useless to me, but I hope you will trust me after getting this thing and let me go."

"No problem. As long as I get this thing, our grudges will be written off."

As he said that, he flew into the huge Buddha statue with one step, picked up a kitchen knife and slashed it hard on the belly of the Buddha statue. The kitchen knife penetrated into the mud sculpture of the Buddha statue, but it could not be pulled out for a moment.

And at this moment, with a whoosh, an arrow shot out from above the Main Hall.

Xie Zhigao was shocked and had no time to turn his body. The arrow passed through his shoulders and nailed him to the Buddha statue, unable to move.

Xiahou Tian laughed loudly, sat on the ground and pointed at him and said, "You don't know, this Buddha statue was cultivated by me for money. When I was practicing, I had already set up this mechanism and waited for you to come to me. Sure enough, I was cut off by you just now, which was a bitter plan. Otherwise, how could you believe me? Now you are waiting to die there."

As he said that, Xiahoutian climbed out with difficulty, but after only a few steps, he was so tired that he was as tired as a cow. The pain in his abdomen and the pain in his knees made him almost unable to do any movements. He could only stop and breathe a sigh of relief, subconsciously looked back at Xie Zhigao, who he thought would be unquestionable.

Unexpectedly, Xie Zhigao's tenacity in life was far beyond his imagination. He struggled backwards and pulled his whole body out of the arrow. The arrow was still on the Buddha statue, his wounds were penetrated forward and backward, and half of his white robe dyed red with blood.

Xie Zhigao slid down from the Buddha statue, fell on the altar, and fell to the ground again. But he still struggled to get up from the ground, shaking his whole body. He covered the wound with one hand, grabbed a candlestick for candles on the altar, pointed to Xiahou Tian on the ground and said, "What a vicious guy. It seems that you have to follow me to the underworld today. Let's understand."

Xiahoutian didn't expect this to happen. He turned around in horror and crawled out, but the high threshold blocked him and he couldn't turn over. And he knew that even if he flipped over, he couldn't escape. He simply leaned against the high threshold and looked at Xie Zhigao and said word by word: "If you kill me, you don't expect to get that thing!"

"Where is the thing?"

Xiahou Tian pointed to the Tathagata Buddha in the Great Hall and said, "It's really in the belly of the Buddha statue."

And just then, I suddenly heard footsteps, and the deaf and mute monk from Yeji Temple came from the side door, carrying a broom, and didn't look at them, as if he was the only one in the hall.

He walked to the center of the Main Hall, placed the broom on his shoulder next to the altar, picked up the things scattered on the ground, and put them back on the altar one by one.

Then, he clasped his hands together and recited something silently. Then he quickly climbed up the Buddha statue of Tathagata, grabbed the kitchen knife nailed to the Buddha statue, pulled it down easily, and threw it on the ground with a clang. He grabbed the arrow and pulled it out easily, regardless of the blood of the arrow, as if he was pulling out a small grass, and threw it on the ground without even looking at it.

He moved his hand under the armpit of the Buddha statue. With a slight slither, the Buddha's belly opened a small door for one person to pass through. He quickly got into the Buddha statue's belly. As soon as he entered, the door slid and closed again.

This was really incredible, and the two looked at each other in shock.

Xiahou Tian suddenly screamed: "How did he know this mechanism? Has my golden Buddha been discovered by him? The golden Buddha is placed in the belly of the Buddha statue!"

Xiahoutian screamed in horror, so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but he could not move.

Xie Zhigao had already climbed up the altar with difficulty in his screams and climbed up the tall Buddha statue. He also found a hidden wrench under his armpit. After moving it hard, the belly of the Buddha statue really opened again, and he followed it in.

As soon as he got into the front, the door behind him automatically closed, and at this time, a door was opened on the side of the marble base of the Buddha statue.

This Buddha is placed on a marble base, and a huge lotus throne is falling on the Buddha statue. The door is on the side of the marble platform.

After the door opened, the sloppy monk came out of it and patted the dust on his body. He was holding a large rag in his hand, and there was a lot of dust on the rag. It turned out that he ran into the belly of the Buddha statue to wipe the dust.

Xiahou Tian exclaimed: "Where is my golden Buddha? Did you hide it?"

The monk ignored Xiahoutian, folded his hands together at the Buddha statue and bowed again, then picked up the broom that had been placed beside the altar, raised his foot and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Xie Zhigao also came out of the door. He happened to see the deaf and mute monk carrying a broom to walk to the backyard. He quickly stepped forward, picked up the kitchen knife that fell on the ground, grabbed it and ran over, held the monk's neck with the knife, and said anxiously: "Where is the golden Buddha in the belly of Tathagata Buddha?"

The deaf and mute monk stared blankly in front of him, as if there was no one in front of him.

Xie Zhigao gritted his teeth and said, "Stinky monk, I'll ask you another question, where is the golden Buddha in your belly? Did you hide it? Leave it to me, otherwise I will kill you. I will say the same thing, don't underestimate my determination!"

The monk smiled. His face was dirty, but when he grinned, he showed a neat white teeth.

Then, he actually knocked his neck towards the kitchen knife in Xie Zhigao's hand without hesitation.

Xie Zhigao was shocked. Before he got the answer he wanted, how could he let him die like this? He immediately removed the kitchen knife, flipped the back of the knife, and wanted to use the back of the knife to beat the old monk over, and then force him to confess.

But he had just raised his hand and suddenly stopped because the knife in his hand was wrapped up by a rope, and then it was pulled violently, flew into the air, and nailed it to the crossbar.

Immediately afterwards, a person came from the crossbar, but Qian Jinzhi, the female shopkeeper of Jinzhitang, was hiding on it at some point.

Qian Jinzhi said coldly: "So cruel, are you going to attack a poor deaf and mute monk?"

Xie Zhigao was shocked. The other party's skills were definitely not something he could deal with.

He immediately did not hesitate, and turned around to run out with the wound on his shoulder, but he stopped before he could reach the threshold of the Main Hall because he found that a scholar in white robe was also standing at the door.
