The most intelligent general in the world

Chapter 328 Get Out, Get Out

After thinking for a long time, he still had no clue and felt heavy in the head. Zhang Yang decided to go out and relax. He would not stay in the room and bathe, worship Buddha and meditate according to the routine.

Relying on his memory, Zhang Yang came to the magnificent gate, where he met the old monk. He was not familiar with other places.

In the center of the lobby is a gilded Buddha statue, and on both sides are statues of the nine-headed monster bird.

Zhang Yang was confused. What merits did the nine-headed bird have to be enshrined in the highest sacrificial place of the country? And why did it attack him?

Zhang Yang continued to walk inside, walked to the front of the Buddha statue, picked up three incense sticks, held them in his hands, faced the Buddha statue, and bowed respectfully three times.

He didn't believe in Buddhism, but he knew that it was disrespectful not to worship Buddha. Moreover, as the leader of the country, he had to pray for the people of the city even if not for himself.

After Zhang Yang finished worshipping the Buddha statue, he put the lit incense into the incense burner. At this time, he found something wrong, there was only a thin layer of incense ash in the incense burner.

Even if it was an ordinary temple's incense burner, the ashes would have piled up like a mountain, not to mention that this was a temple built by the royal family to commemorate the previous emperor.

Zhang Yang stepped forward and carefully observed the incense burner. The pattern carved on the incense burner was not a Buddhist symbol, nor a dragon or a phoenix, but the image of a nine-headed monster bird.

This is simply unacceptable. Why would a country regard the nine-headed bird as a national treasure?

Zhang Yang touched the incense burner, and apart from the unique pattern, there was nothing unusual. He was about to pick up the incense burner, and as soon as he moved, he heard the sound of the huge stone rubbing against each other.

The sound came from the right side of the gilded Buddha statue. Looking in the direction of the sound, the wall that was originally connected to the right side of the Buddha statue was actually cracked neatly, like a door.

This discovery surprised Zhang Yang very much, but despite the shock, Zhang Yang's brain was working quickly, thinking about what was happening in front of him.

The stone wall was only opened a little, and he just gently moved the incense burner. So, this incense burner must be the key to opening the stone door.

Zhang Yang thought so and continued to move the incense burner, but found that the incense burner seemed to be integrated with the stone slab and could not be moved at all. Zhang Yang concentrated his internal force in his palm and exerted force again, finally making the incense burner move a little.

The stone wall seemed to loosen as well, and the gap widened. Seeing the changes, Zhang Yang smiled slightly and continued to move the incense burner.

Soon, the stone wall was completely opened and Zhang Yang looked into the hole in the wall.

It was very dark inside, and only a few candles could be seen emitting faint light, and a staircase-like structure. Zhang Yang put down the incense burner and walked in quickly.

This aroused Zhang Yang's great interest. There was actually a secret passage hidden in a royal temple.

Who built this secret passage and for what purpose? The answers to these questions can only be revealed by going deeper into it.

As soon as Zhang Yang took a step inside, the stone door closed automatically, blocking the light behind him and turning his vision dark. Zhang Yang exuded inner strength all over his body, sensing unknown danger.

In his perception, this should be a staircase extending downwards, the passage is wide, and this secret room should be a basement.

After Zhang Yang walked for a while, he suddenly saw some lights in front of him. When he got closer, he saw that they were some lamps hanging on the wall.

Since there is light here, it should be not far from the main room, right? Zhang Yang thought so and quickened his pace.

The light is getting brighter and brighter, and the sight is becoming clearer and clearer...

Zhang Yang gathered his inner strength to detect the surroundings, forming an invisible protective shield around him. Soon, the steps under his feet disappeared, and a flat ground extended to the end, where a door appeared.

Zhang Yang pushed it open easily and walked in. The interior decoration was exactly the same as the upper hall, except that the original golden Buddha in the center was replaced by a nine-headed bird statue covered with seven-color light.

At the entrance, rows of tablets for offerings fill the sight. Unlike the upper floors, these tablets are covered with dust and cobwebs, and it is obvious that no one has taken care of them for a long time.

Zhang Yang reached out and picked up a tablet, brushed off the dust, and read the words on the tablet. Although these names were not Ying's, Zhang Yang had at least heard of them. However, there was a name on the tablet that shocked him.

"Xuanyuan!" Zhang Yang was very familiar with this name. The Xuanyuan Sword in his hand was the masterpiece of this person. However, the name on this tablet was scratched. Zhang Yang was surprised and continued to check other tablets.

Several names were also scratched on subsequent tablets, but only in a minority. The names on most of the tablets were intact.

Walking to the last tablet, Zhang Yang repeated the same action and brushed off the dust. This tablet at the end seemed to have been placed not long ago, with only a thin layer of dust on it.

When Zhang Yang turned over the tablet, his eyes widened instantly. His name was written on the tablet - Zhang Yang!

Zhang Yang stared at the tablet with his name on it for a long time, as if thinking about something. He put the tablet down and rushed out of the secret room.

When he came out of the secret room, Zhang Yang seemed to have lost his soul. He summoned the Xuanyuan Sword and cut off the golden Buddha statue in the center with one sword.

The upper body of the Buddha statue collapsed with a loud bang, creating a large pit. Zhang Yang did not give up and smashed the nine-headed bird statues on both sides.

The noise in the lobby attracted the guardians, who rushed over and saw the lobby in a mess with Zhang Yang standing in it.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" asked the eunuch who had been following Zhang Yang.

"Shut up! Get out, all of you!" Zhang Yang was furious and pointed his sword at the eunuchs and guards outside the door.
