It turns out that we still underestimate how secluded this clue about the statue is.

As Mr. Chen brought people to repair the water and land hall, a few more days passed without realizing it, but we still found nothing.

Although this water and land palace covers a small area, when Chen started to repair it, we found that there was a hidden mystery inside.

Although Huanghua Temple has never held a water and land conference, it is arranged in the water and land hall very finely. The main hall is in the middle of the hall, three Buddha statues of Vairocana, Sakyamuni, and Amitabha Buddha are enshrined. There are tables under the statues, including offerings of incense, lanterns, candles and fruits. Four long plan tables in front of the table, bronze chimes, drums and other items, and the overall look is completely different.

On the other side of the square platform, there are six incense burners. Looking at the handwriting on the incense burners, they should represent the six outer altars of the Great Altar of the Water and Land Dharma Assembly, the Lotus Altar, the Huayan Altar, the Shurangama Altar, the Pure Land Altar and the Sutra Altar. These six incense burners are all of the same height, and are cast in pure copper in their entire body, with extraordinary momentum.

The other arrangements in the hall are clear at a glance. If there is any mystery, it must be above the Buddha statue and the incense burner. The three bronze statues and the six incense burners are all solid cast in pure copper. The Vairocana Buddha in the middle is about six meters high, and the Sakyamuni Buddha and Amitabha Buddha on both sides are about five meters high. Although these six incense burners are not as tall as the Buddha statues, they are also as tall as the people, and are too huge and too heavy.

It is because the Buddha statue and the incense burner are too huge and heavy, and we cannot destroy the general shape of the water and land hall, and there is no good way to move it for a while. Even if everyone in the Works Department led by Chen Gong is proficient in the art of civil and engineering, they are still helpless.

Fortunately, Mr. Chen is experienced. After thinking, he boldly decided to divide the bronze statue and the incense burner. After the entire water and land hall is repaired, he will renovate and shape the Buddha statue and the incense burner.

As we were looking forward to it, Chen Gong used his exquisite techniques to divide the Buddha statue and the incense burner, but to our surprise, there was no mystery inside the Buddha statue and the incense burner. Then he led the people of the Ministry of Works to dig three feet below the original position of the two, but still did not get any clues.

Could it be that we made a mistake that this clue is not in the Water and Land Palace at all?

As days pass by, Mr. Chen has reorganized and repaired the water and land hall. As we see the main hall about to be repaired, we still have no clues about the statue.

Even Xie Xie returned to us. A few days ago, he went to Xingkong to prevent him from coming here to supervise the Dharma. But in the past few days we have not gained anything in this Water and Land Hall, so naturally we are not afraid that Xingkong will come from checking it. So Xie Xie no longer had to go to Xingkong to delay, but returned to the Water and Land Hall to think about the traces of this clue.

Mr. Chen gave his work to his subordinates and turned to us. Everyone gathered at the main entrance of the Water and Land Palace. While watching the workers' staff who were under construction and repair, he was thinking worriedly about where the crucial clue would be hidden.

I thought it was a sure thing, but I still didn't notice it now. Even Chunting's face, which had always been unsightly, had a little anxiety. He watched Mr. Chen try to make sure again.

"Mr. Chen, are you sure there are no secret rooms here?"

Mr. Chen still looked unpleasant. He heard Chunting’s question and lowered his head to answer seriously, with his tone still full of confidence.

"The leader, Mr. Chen dares to guarantee in the name of his teacher. There is absolutely no secret passage in this hall. Did you find the wrong location of the clue?"

When Shen Lang saw Chen Gong's confident look, he interrupted in dissatisfaction and asked Chen Gong where he learned his master, and he actually had such a great arrogance.

"I dare to ask who is the teacher of Mr. Chen?"

Before Mr. Chen could speak, Chunting waved his hand and signaled that Shen Lang would not need to ask more questions.

"Mr. Chen is learning Luban's skills. If he dares to use his teacher to guarantee it, there will never be a secret passage in the Water and Land Hall."

"The successor of Luban!?"

Shen Lang was silent when he heard this, and I was also shocked after hearing what Chunting said. I looked at Chen Gong repeatedly. No wonder he was so arrogant. If he was the successor of Lu Ban, he would indeed have such arrogance.

Lu Ban, a native of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period, also known as Gongshu Pan, Gongshu Pan, the originator of the civil and construction industry in China and the carpenter industry. The hand tools used by carpenters, such as drills, planes, shovels, curved rulers, and ink buckets used for marking lines are said to have been invented by Lu Ban and are respected by later generations as the Master of Cheats.

However, Lu Ban's technique has long been lost. Unexpectedly, this Chen Gong was the successor of Lu Ban. No wonder he is so proficient in the art of civil engineering. Guanshan really hides dragons and lies in the tiger.

However, as Chen Gong's teacher was told by Chunting, our emotions became even more depressed.

When we didn't know where Chen Gong was taught, we could comfort ourselves. Maybe this clue was in the Water and Land Hall, but Chen Gong was not good at learning skills and did not find it.

But now that we know his identity as the successor of Luban, we have no way to deceive ourselves. Since he has confirmed that there is no hidden secret passage here, we can only admit that this place is indeed not a hiding place for the statue.

But where would the statue hide? Why would the five-sided dragon head point to this water and land hall?

Just when we were worried, Xie Xie suddenly spoke, his face was entangled and seemed to have noticed something.

"Lord, I have an idea, I don't know if it's related to the clue."

Yihe didn't expect that Xie Xie would be the first to have some ideas. He waved his hand and signaled Xie Xie but said it was okay.

"Anyway, we have no clue now. Let's say it, no one will blame you if you are wrong."

Xie Xie looked at the several Buddha statues placed aside after they were divided, and hesitated and spoke to us.

“This Vairocana Buddha seems to have some problems.”

After hearing this, Mr. Chen shook his head resolutely, his tone of no doubt.

"I divided the three Buddha statues and six incense burners in the Water and Land Hall by myself. After the division, I also checked them carefully. These nine are all made of solid things, and there is no mystery hidden in them. If you don't believe it, you can check it yourself."

Xie Xie also shook his head and looked at the Buddha statue slowly speaking.

"Mr. Chen, you misunderstood. I am not suspecting that there is something hidden in the Buddha statue that you did not find. In fact, what I am talking about is not that there is something wrong with the Buddha statue itself, but that there is something wrong with the placement of the Buddha statue."

After saying that, he saw our blank expression and began to tell us his own thoughts.

"As we all know, Sakyamuni was the founder of Buddhism, that is, the Buddha mentioned by the world. Amitabha Buddha is also known as the infinite Buddha. It is said that he made great vows in the past long and long kalpas to establish the Western Pure Land, widely save countless sentient beings, achieve infinite solemn merits, and is widely respected and promoted by Mahayana Buddhism."

Shen Lang couldn't help himself. He looked at the water and land hall and urged anxiously.

"We are not Buddhists, what's the point of saying this?"

Xie Xie was not anxious or slow, and he was tidying up his words while talking to us.

"That's what I think. Even those who do not understand Buddhism should know the names of the two Buddhas, Sakyamuni and Amitabha Buddha. But in this water and land temple, the tallest and dominant position is Vairocana Buddha."
