Chapter 86
"Pealqiao Whistle" does not understand the secret techniques of Feng Shui, so she didn't understand what Elder Chen's second half of the sentence meant, so she asked, what is "one-eyed dragon"?
Elder Le Chen looked at the moonlight in the sky and said, "The underground here is indeed a branch of Helan Mountain. At the end is a sneaking dragon, but it is unusually small, and there is only one cave at the dragon head that can gather qi and store wind, so it is called the one-eyed dragon, or the dragonfly skimming the water.
If the purple qi three stars are beautiful and fresh, they are loyal and righteous men. If the shape is as powerful as Kaohsiung, they are respectful of military power. If the purple qi is like a tree, they are most afraid of branches and feet running around. The mountain shape is tilted and rugged, the face is bloated, and the top of the mountain is broken. All of these are evil shapes, and they are often buried and rebellious.
Because the Heishui River has changed its course, the situation of this cave has long been broken. The treasure eye on the dragon head has become a cancer. If someone is buried inside, it will be really troublesome to respond to the latter." After saying that, he pointed to the cold moon in the sky, and then said, "Look at the moonlight again. We went out today and didn't look at the almanac. Unexpectedly, the moon level was broken tonight. When the moon was broken, the Bodhisattvas would have to close their eyes."
"Pealridge Whistle" is more skillful and bold. In addition, the "Ruan Chen Bead" that has been searching for thousands of years in the clan may be in the Tongtian Great Buddha Temple under your feet. How can you bear it until tomorrow to take action? Then, he said to Elder Chen: "It is said that there is an empty tomb under the Tongtian Great Buddha Temple. Since it is an empty tomb without a master, the disciples do not have to treat it with normal circumstances. When the disciples use a whirlwind shovel to open the stolen hole and get things back, we will be careful and there will be no mistakes in the materials."
Elder Le Chen was right when he thought about it, but he was really worried. This tomb was regarded as a treasure cave by the people of Xixia. Since there was no master (there were no dead people in the tomb), he could not follow the common sense. He would not think about whether the lamp was turned off and the chicken cried, and he would not touch gold, and he would not take three or three, and he would not dig nine or dig, so he nodded and agreed.
"Pealqiao Whistle" took out a hollow copper stick from the package. The copper stick was hollow and contained an organic clam. The stick body had been rubbed with hands and shine. I don't know how long it has been. Then, nine wavy leaves made of fine steel were inserted at the front of the copper stick like nine petals. There is a special slot lock spring in front of the copper stick. Once the steel leaves are inserted, they are immediately firmly fixed by the lock spring.
Finally, the "Pealqiao Whistle" installed a rocker behind the copper stick, forming a "torna shovel" for making holes. This tool can be extended and retracted, and the diameter of the hole can be adjusted, expanded and reduced by itself.
"Pealqiao Whistle" turned the whirlwind shovel and made holes underground, asking the American priest Thomas to help remove the sand and soil brought out of the whirlwind shovel. The American priest Thomas was helpless and complained while working: "Didn't you let me go when you arrived at the place? I didn't expect that you have arranged so many small programs for me. You should know that in the West, the priests are God's servants, and clergy do not need to engage in physical labor..."
"Pealqiao Whistle" and Elder Chen couldn't quite understand what the American was saying, so he ignored him and focused on using a whirlwind shovel to dig holes. After a while, he touched a bag of cigarettes, the "whirlwind shovel" encountered the roof tiles on the hall of Tongtian Big Buddha Temple. They were covered with large green scale glazed tiles, and the tiles on the edges were carved with statues of Arhats, which were not comparable to ordinary roof tiles. You could tell at a glance that it was the main building of a large temple.
Because when the American priest Thomas passed by here before, he once stepped on a Buddhist temple and fell into it, so he could not expect the "partridge whistle" to be opened so quickly, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in his heart.
"Pealqiao Whistle" lifted up more than a dozen pieces of green scale glazed tiles in the sand nest, threw them outside, and hung the lantern with a rope. Under the layers of wooden beams, it was the magnificent Great Hall. "Pealqiao" is the honorific title of Buddhists for Shakyamuni's moral magic power, which means that the Buddha is as fearless as a warrior, with boundless magic power, and able to subdue the four demons such as "Five Demons of the Demons of the Fifth Demon, Devil of the Demons of the Demons of the Demons of the Demons of the Demons of the Demons of the Demons of the Demons of the Demons of the Demons of the Demons of the Demons of the Demons of the Demons of the Demons of the Demons of the Demons of the Demons of the Demons of the Demons of the Demons of the Demons of
The lantern of the whistle of the clouds cannot see clearly in the distance, and can only see the main image of the hall directly below is the "Three Body Buddha". According to Buddhist teachings, the Buddha has the Dharma body, the reward body, the three bodies of the response body, which is also called the Three Incarnation Buddha. That is, the middle honor is the Dharma body Vairocana Buddha; the left honor is the reward body, the Lushena Buddha; the right honor is the response body, which is Shakyamuni Buddha. In front of the three Buddhas, there is an iron-cast mud-covered "Gui Buddha" statue standing opposite, and on both sides are Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva sitting statues.
The Buddhist teachings of Western Xia are booming, and it is expected that the scale of this hall will not be very small. "Pealqiao Whistle" nodded to Elder Chen and signaled that it could go down. "Pealqiao Whistle" has always been alone and wanted to go down by himself. Elder Chen was worried that there would be a trap in the treasure cave and a secret door and other sluts. To deal with those things, it was originally the best way for the "Golden-Touching Captains" to go down with "Pealqiao Whistle" and take care of each other.
So the two of them took a "Crossing Heart and Botanical Baicao Pill" and gave it to them with a pot of "Climbing the Sky Dew". These are secret medicines to prevent coma from occurring in an environment where air is not circulating. Then they hung the gold-touching talisman in their wrists, covered their faces with black cloth, wore water and fire shoes, and brought a tool, and then they had to leave.
"Pealqiao Whistle" suddenly remembered that the American priest was still poking aside. Although Father Thomas was not like a bad person, it was not safe to go down to work with Elder Chen and leave a foreigner on it. If he had any malicious intentions, it would be troublesome. It would be better to take this guy down as well. It would be fine if he was obedient, otherwise he would let the foreigner get out of the mechanism in the treasure cave.
"Pealqiao Whistle" was determined to make up, so she pulled the American priest over and prepared to take him some secret medicine to take him into the treasure cave. Father Thomas refused to eat it, thinking that "Pealqiao Whistle" wanted to give him the mysterious poison from the East, so she hurriedly covered her mouth. "Pealqiao Whistle" didn't care what he thought, poked the priest's rib with his fingers. The American priest opened his mouth in pain, and the "Pealqiao Whistle" stuffed the chanting Baicao Pills into his mouth. The American priest wanted to vomit, so he could no longer spit it out, so he had to say helplessly to the sky: "Oh, merciful Lord, forgive them, they don't know what they are doing."
Without saying anything, the "Pealqiao Whistle" pushed the American priest Thomas into the hole on the roof of the Buddhist temple, took out the flying tiger claws, and wanted to hang him first. Father Thomas was shocked. These barbaric orientals were not finished with poison, but they had to create some weird tricks? Could it be buried alive?
Elder Lechen advised, "Don't worry, this foreign monk, I and you are both monks. I am very compassionate. We monks are based on compassion and kindness. We sweep the floor and do not hurt the lives of ants. We cherish moths and sand hoods. Naturally, we will not harm you. It's just that the things we do are secrets and we can't reveal any news. So please go with us. After the matter is done, we will definitely let you go back."
After hearing what Elder Chen said, Father Thomas felt relieved and thought that no matter what, Chinese monks were also clergymen and had never heard of clergymen committing murder. So he asked the "Pealqiao Whistle" to use flying tiger claws to drop him from the hole into the Buddhist temple.
Elder Lechen and the "Pealqiao Whistle" then went down to the Great Hall, lit up the lantern, and shone around. It turned out to be a majestic and magnificent Buddhist temple. The Buddha Dharma tributed in the hall was full of gems and magnificent. The tall seats and lotus platforms were solemn. The treasures were supported by thirty-six pillars around the hall, which was extremely firm.
When Elder Lechen saw the Buddha's treasure, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, chanting the Buddha's name. "Quiqiao Whistle" used to be a fake Taoist priest, but now he is wearing secular clothes and kowtowed, begging the Buddha to appear and bless the tribe's people from the boundless sea of suffering. He is extremely sincere in his heart.
After the ceremony, the two stood up and checked around. They saw that the front hall had collapsed and could not get past it. The side halls on both sides were tributed with countless statues of Arhat, and most of them were collapsed on one side. The statues of Arhat were all exquisite and luxurious, and the materials were decorated in one level and exquisite. Each one was worth a lot of value. It can be seen that the Western Xia national strength was so strong that Buddhism was prosperous and prosperous.
However, these Buddha statues are somewhat different from those seen by "Pealqiao Whistle" and others in various temples, and they can't tell where they are different, but they just think the shape is a bit strange.
Elder Lechen told the "Pealbridge Whistle": "The people of Xixia are mainly Dangxiang tribes. The Dangxiang people originated in Tibet. Later, they helped the Tang King to expand their territory. They really made a lot of contributions and were given the surname Li. After all, they are ethnic minorities. Moreover, Tibetan Buddhism is much more influenced by India than in the mainland. These Buddha statues are all dressed in Tang suits, which are closer to the original form of the birthplace of Buddhism. Unlike the Buddha statues in mainland temples, they are deeply influenced by Han culture, so they look a little different."
"Pealqiao Whistle" and Elder Chen agreed that the treasure cave in Xixia Kingdom should be located not far from the Main Hall, and it may even be in the Main Hall, because since a tomb has been built under the temple and since it is a tomb, of course it must be built on the Feng Shui level. The acupoints of this vein are very small, so the scope should be enclosed near the main hall.
American priest Thomas followed the "Pealqiao Whistle" around the hall. The more he looked, the more he felt strange. Why did they dig out a temple by just digging in this inconspicuous barren land? And just now, they looked at the side hall. The exquisite statues of the Arhat inside seemed familiar, as if they had fallen into the cave a few years ago. They went in by accident. After a few years, if they wanted to go back and look for it, they would definitely not be able to find it. Why did this old monk look at the stars in the sky and find it so accurately? There are too many mysterious and incredible things in the Eastern world. Thinking of this, Father Thomas felt a little bit of awe in his heart. He didn't dare to talk nonsense.
The three of them walked around the Great Hall of Tongtian Buddha Temple twice, searching through almost every brick and tile, but did not find any entrance to the treasure cave.
"Pealqiao Whistle" said to Elder Chen: "There is no abnormality in the main hall, so you might as well go to the back hall to look for it."
Elder Le Chen nodded and said, "Since you have already come in, don't be anxious. Look carefully from front to back. This place is called Tongtian Sleeping Buddha Temple. It can be seen that the tribute to the back hall is the reclining Buddha. Let's go over and take a look."
In the passage connecting the back hall, the "Travel of Buddha" from the Song Dynasty is painted, and the pictures are mostly decorated with lotus flowers. It makes people feel quiet and carefree, and they are all the same and beyond the dust, washing away the worldly thoughts in their hearts.
"Pealridge Whistle" has been with Elder Le Chen recently. After listening to a lot of Buddhist principles, the anger in his heart has been much less. At this moment, he is in this underground Buddhist temple holy land, and suddenly feels very tired. For a moment, he feels indescribable boredom with the activities of fighting in his heart. He just hopes that he can find the "Ru Chen Pearl" smoothly this time and do the big things. In the future, he will follow Elder Chen to practice in the ancient temple and spend the best life.
But this thought was fleeting, and "Pealridge Whistle" knew better than anyone else. At this time, there must be no slackness. At present, you must concentrate all your energy and find the entrance to the treasure cave in Xixia.
Just as I walked and thought about it, I could reach the back hall. As expected, the back hall was even more magnificent, with a huge stone Buddha decorated with seven treasures sleeping in the hall.
Generally, large reclining Buddhas are cultivated according to the mountain. Some of them have the entire undulating peaks and have naturally generated Buddha states. Their big towers are connected to the earth, and their small can be contained in mustard seeds. Their big has no outside, and their small has no inside. All of them represent the boundless boundlessness of Buddhism.
However, this huge sleeping Buddha in the back hall is much smaller than those made from mountains, but compared to ordinary people who are more than one meter tall, it looks too big. Its body is more than fifty meters long and has a large earlobe that sleeps peacefully on the lotus platform.
There is a giant celadon on both sides of the Sleeping Buddha Hall, which is full of "Big Dragon Snake Paste" that has condensed into solid. This lamp oil can be burned continuously for more than a hundred years. The eternal glass glass that was tributed to the Buddha is also used, but now it has already dried up.
There are many stone tablets in the Sleeping Buddha Hall, all of which are engraved with complex Western Xia texts. They should be inscriptions such as Buddhist allusions. "The Partridge Whistle" turned around and finally turned its eyes to the Sleeping Buddha. By the way, Elder Chen said: "The sleeping Buddha posture is wrong, and the disciples think there must be something strange about it."
After seeing it for a long time, Elder Lechen felt that there was something wrong with sleeping with Buddhas and said, "Well... you can see it too. He is worthy of being a master of moving mountains and dividing armor. This Buddha head is a mechanism. It seems that the secret path of the treasure cave is even on this Buddha head. The structure of this mechanism is not clear for a while. Be careful of danger when moving it."
"Pealqiao Whistle" took a look, closed her hands, bowed to the Sleeping Buddha twice, then flew to the Buddha's altar, and saw that there was a not-so-obvious gap on the lips of the Sleeping Buddha, which seemed to be able to open and close. If it weren't for the master of touching Jinbanshan, he wouldn't have noticed this detail at all.
The Buddha's mouth is probably the entrance to the passage, and once it is triggered, there will be an injuring mechanism such as flying knives and hidden arrows. After careful examination of the "Pealqiao Whistle", he already knows this mechanism well. There should be no hidden weapons at the entrance, but it is just a bucket-style channel interface. So he asked the American priest Thomas for help, and the two of them pulled the petals on the middle of the lotus bed.
After hearing a few dull sounds, the huge Buddha's mouth of the Sleeping Buddha slowly opened. The Sleeping Buddha faced the gate, and a vertical shaft was exposed vertically from the Buddha's mouth. There was a hanging ladder on the wall of the shaft, which could climb down from the ladder.
Father Thomas was puzzled and praised it all the time. This time, without the need for "Pealridge Whistle" to take action, he took the initiative to climb into the shaft to see what else is inside.
"Quiqiao Whistle" knew that the treasure cave was originally a tomb of an important official in Xixia, but later it hid the rare treasures of the Xixia palace. It would be fine if it was buried in the place where the dead were buried. If such an important treasure was placed in the tomb chamber, there must be an extremely powerful mechanism to let the American priest go in and wait for him to die first. This priest is a good person. "Quiqiao Whistle" couldn't bear to let him die in the tomb passage, so he stopped him behind him and asked him to follow him. Elder Lechen cut off his back and continued in this order.
The ancient tomb of Xixia is special. Almost no tomb robbers have ever come into contact with it. No one knows the situation inside. He only knows that it is far-reachingly influenced by Han culture. He has to take a step by step after going in. Elder Lechen knew that "Pealqiao Whistle" is an expert in dividing hills and breaking armor. With him in front and making every step, there will be no mistakes.
In order to detect the airflow below, the "Pealridge Whistle" handed over the horse lantern to Elder Chen and put the phosphorus tube on the Diamond Umbrella. The Diamond Umbrella is the shield used by the "Golden-Touching Captain" to resist the hidden weapons in the tomb. It is full of steel bones and iron leaves, and even the strongest machine cannot penetrate it.
The phosphorus cylinder is a device that detects air quality and lighting. If explained by modern science, it can be regarded as a kind of biolight, just like a fireflies and some luminous marine creatures. The phosphorus cylinder is ground into powder with dead bones, and is matched with the scattered foam of turquoise red veal grass. After ignition, it emits a blue cold light, which is filled and can last for half an hour.
The "Pealridge Whistle" is illuminated with a phosphorescence cylinder. It uses a flying tiger claw to protect the body, and slowly goes down along the ladder. Soon after, I feel stuffy in my chest. It seems that there is a closed space below. If I hadn't used secret medicine, I would have suffocated and fallen down and fall to death.
"Pealqiao Whistle" looked up and asked Elder Lechen above how it was and the American priest. Whether he needed to go up first and wait until he had enough air before getting off. The two of them signaled that nothing happened. This situation was still within the range of tolerance and had already climbed for more than half of it, so let's continue to go to the end.
"Pealqiao Whistle" and others climbed down the shaft for about a cup of tea (a cigarette for three or five minutes, a cup of tea for ten to fifteen minutes, and a meal for twenty to thirty minutes) and then they went to the bottom.
