Chapter 3: Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas

  On a desolate night, Luo Xi Zero didn't go home and sat alone on the rooftop of the school, observing the stars from the recent whirlpool.

  The stars in the sky are usually quite scattered, and ordinary people can't see their characteristics. But tonight's stars are different. As time approaches midnight, the stars become more and more numerous, gathering above the school like they have a purpose, gradually forming a circle.

  Circular, this feeling made Luo Xi think of the Earth for the first time. Could it be that what the Bug Master said was true? Was the Earth really going to be swallowed by the Demon Realm?

  Slowly, the stars changed Luo Xi Zero's mind again, because they were moving. About half an hour later, the stars stopped moving and formed an asymmetrical pattern. Inside the overall pattern, there was a cluster of particularly bright and prominent stars gathered in the shape of a mountain.

  Upon seeing this, Lu Xi Zero immediately drew down the diagram. It didn't look like any creature, but rather a piece of burnt paper, or even a fragment of a map!

  Map? At the thought of this, Luoxi Zero immediately took out a map, but couldn't find any place in the city that resembled the pattern. Undeterred, Luoxi Zero expanded the scope to a map of China.

  The map of China is obviously like a chicken, but each piece of land inside has its own characteristics. Luo Xi Ling searched one by one and suddenly found a shape similar to the star chart in the dense map! It was a province called Yunnan. Although there are many cities in the province, the star chart is formed by a cluster of stars of almost the same size. The location of the cluster of stars that form a mountain shape has already been marked on the map by Luo Xi Ling. That's a place located in the center left of the map - Dali.

  Yunnan is said to be the closest place to heaven, Dali has many tourist attractions, but the most special one is the Dali Cangshan Mountain with its ever-changing scenery.

  Cangshan also has many characteristic scenic spots, among which the most interesting to Lu Xi is the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple, because of its eternal and long history. Among the 22 kings of Dali Kingdom, nine of them became monks in Chongsheng Temple, full of religious mystery.

  Since the nine kings all had a crush on this, there must be some secret that attracted them. Lu Xi Ling continued to investigate and found out that it was said that there were many relics of royal bones on Mount Dali, but this was just a legend, and no one has ever been able to find any relics to prove it.

  From the moment they got off the plane, Luo Xi Zero felt an inexplicable sense of unease, not only because he was accompanied by this naive little Xia, but also due to the mysterious aura emanating from Yunnan.

  The sky above the three towers of Chongsheng Temple is blue with white clouds, but it feels heavy as if it's about to collapse at any moment, giving people a feeling of suffocating pressure.

  Lu Xi held the ticket to the Chongsheng Temple's Three Pagodas and couldn't help but ask Xia again, "Have you thought it through? Are you sure you want to go in with me? What if something happens to you, I won't be able to face your parents!"

  "You're so annoying! You brought me all the way here and now you're regretting it?"

  "Who wanted to bring you here? You threatened me, saying that if I didn't bring you, you would spread rumors at school that I had improper thoughts about you. I only brought you because I didn't want to be beaten up by those boys!" Luoxi Zero felt helpless when he thought of Xiaxia's threat.

  "Now that you know how formidable I am, stop nagging!" Xiaoxia hastily pushed Luoshi Zero into the Chongsheng Temple's Three Pagodas.

  The two first entered the large central tower, which was extremely majestic and high like a sky pillar. The first floor of the tower was also very high, looking like it had three floors, but looking up at the ceiling in this way gave an even stronger sense of oppression.

  Apart from the many marked cultural relics and buildings, what attracts Lu Xizuo the most is the tower bricks used to build the tower, which are covered with various Sanskrit and Chinese mantras of Tibetan Buddhism. It is said that these mantras are used to calm evil spirits and stabilize the earth, so will they really have the effect of driving away evil spirits?

  With this doubt, Lu Xi Ling couldn't help but curiously walk to the wall and gently stroke the tiles, but after almost circling around, she still didn't feel anything special.

  "What's so strange about this wall?" Xiaxia, who had been looking at it impatiently, finally couldn't help but complain and reached out to touch the tiles.

  Suddenly, Xiaojia let out a sharp cry, and Luoxi immediately ran to the back of the Buddha statue where Xiaojia was, asking: "What's wrong?"

  "This wall is electrified!"

  Luo Xi Ling's mind suddenly flashed with excitement, and he immediately touched the brick that Xiao Xia mentioned, and indeed a weak electric current was transmitted. Luo Xi Ling suspected that this was where the tower's spiritual energy was located, so he stuck his palm on the electrified brick and tried to pour all his strength into his palm.

  As the internal and external forces pressed in on Lu Xi Ling, making him somewhat unable to withstand it, Xiao Xia placed her slender hand on the tower brick as well, exerting all her might to burst forth with her inner abilities.

  Two weak spiritual power holders worked together to launch their powers, and the tower brick finally shook violently before suddenly exploding inward!

  Logically speaking, such a blast towards the front of Luoxiao should have destroyed the tower body and created a hole from the inside out. However, as several bricks gradually crumbled, there was no sign of the outside world, and it was pitch black inside. Wasn't there another passage inside the tower?

  The brick tower seemed to have been deliberately opened for them, and the entrance was just enough for one person to enter. Lu Xi Ling turned back to Xiao Xia and ordered: "You wait here for me, don't go in under any circumstances, got it?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xi Ling jumped into the black hole. Seeing Lu Xi Ling's figure disappear, Xiao Xia naturally wouldn't listen and immediately followed him down.

  In the dark world where you can't see your fingers, they didn't know if this would be a bottomless pit or not, but the thrilling feeling quickly disappeared as they landed in just a few seconds. When the ground felt gravity, the oil lamps around them suddenly lit up automatically.

  The two of them looked around in surprise, finding that this place was only about twenty square meters, with walls on all sides, and nothing out of the ordinary could be seen. Lu Xi Ling and Xiao Xia were simultaneously attracted to the oil lamp, the only decoration on the wall, but as soon as they took a step forward, the ground suddenly sank violently!
