Volume 3 Chapter 109 Zen Heart Returns to Tibet: Urn Burial(1/2)
"Be careful." Erpang held the gun in one hand and the saber in the other hand, and we followed closely behind and walked into the corridor with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Generally speaking, the more we move forward, the clearer the footsteps should be, but until we are almost done with the passage, the footsteps will appear and disappear in the end.
I thought it was me who was hallucinating, but everyone else heard subtle and strange sounds.
If it weren't for some kind of agency established here in advance, or...
"Little, sir, it's not haunted here, right?"
Liu Sa said: "This is the Buddhist God Emperor. What kind of ghosts and monsters dare to act wildly here?"
I said, "Can you two stick to materialistic ideas? At least we are all three good young people living in the modern sunshine."
"You go and have fun, we have never seen any living zombies, dragons, insects, and anything we have ever seen. What else can we talk about materialism? If you don't have a slight accent, you will be very materialistic. If you let some biology institutions know you
The special abilities of your body must be taken away and studied anatomically."
I was speechless when Liu Sa said this.
Anything we experienced along the way is made public is a great discovery that can shake the traditional cognition of all walks of life.
But what can be said and what cannot be said is the last lesson that our teachers teach before graduation as students of the archaeology department.
In the early stage of internship at the Archaeology Institute, my main responsibility was to classify archaeological historical materials. During the process, I sorted out many strange and strange stories from modern times. These cannot be regarded as references to ancient history, but can only be regarded as rumors among the market.
I asked Professor Jiang what the use of these things was? He said that these things actually exist.
I didn't believe it, so Professor Jiang transferred out the materials, images and photos retained by the Archaeology Institute. After reading it, I was in a bad mood. He said that if you just released one of these things, wouldn't the marketing account make a lot of money?
"Since there is definite evidence, why can't these things be published?" I asked Professor Jiang.
Professor Jiang said this: "You have to know that some things are something that people can see, and some that they cannot see. If you peek into the abyss too much, you will be swallowed by the abyss."
I have never figured out this principle.
Until I came back from the Haiyan Dragon Palace later, I felt very sad, sad about the deaths of those seniors, and even more sad about Professor Jiang's betrayal.
But this prompted me to figure out what I have never understood.
People's curiosity is often bound to greed.
After being curious, people will think about how to use other people's curiosity to make profits.
For example, the Dragon Family traps all the dragons in the world in the eyes of the sea, so people cannot see the dragons.
Because even if the dragon is majestic and unique in appearance, it is of rare terrible numbers. If it is used by people, it will eventually lead to a big mistake. Which of the extinct animals in history is not like this?
So it’s better to just think that the dragon does not exist at all, and it’s a one-time solution.
The same goes for everything we have experienced. Just imagine that some internet celebrities who love taking photos every day know that there are ancient ancient Shu clans and Yanwei giant pythons in the deep mountains of Sichuan. How could they not be able to hold back? Then their peace will be broken
Just like the Eight-Nation Alliance knocked on the door of the Qing Dynasty many years ago.
Concealing information is one of the rules of survival.
Thinking of this, I repeated it: "By the way, don't talk about what we have experienced along the way when we go back."
Liu Sa rolled his eyes: "You still need to say it? I don't want to be blocked by a mysterious organization in a small dark room to scratch my feet.
Moreover, it is difficult to feel at ease within the Jiuqi Family, let alone the outside world.”
I looked back at the sealed exit with concern and agreed.
At this time, we had already walked through the artificial passage, and a very spacious and even a very large Buddhist temple that caught our eyes.
That's right, it's a Buddhist temple.
Compared to the ancient tomb, this place is more like a Buddhist temple. The entire lobby has been carefully polished, including the walls being flat and covered with golden paint.
This alone is different from an ancient tomb.
Ancient tombs are usually tomb pits dug from natural mountains or underground. Although these tomb pits are mostly large in scale and even much larger than the Buddhist temples here, their surroundings are very rough. After all, they are powerful in ancient times.
Funerals emphasize pomp and there is no question of how meticulously carved the tomb. Basically, it is required to have the appearance of the tomb.
As for the walls, it is not important to be as magnificent as the surroundings. After all, people are dead, and the loess is no longer visible when they are filled with luxurious loess.
Only when the dream of rebirth after death like Qin Shihuang and Cancong still holds the dream of rebirth after death can the place where they live is carved into carved beams and painted buildings.
It is obviously different here. Not only the walls, but also the columns used for support are decorated with pure gold. The entire Buddhist temple is filled with clay statues about three meters long.
The most central place is a lotus seat that is the same height as the lobby. This lotus seat is much larger than what we saw at the ruins of Hall Country before.
Let me put it this way, this ** God's Tomb is hidden in the mountain that carries the Potala Palace. This lobby is almost as high as the mountain, and this lotus flower is at least ten meters away.
We look up to it, like looking at a tall building.
"It seems that the Buddha statues here have also been stolen," I said.
"Steal? Such a large lotus seat can place a Buddha statue as big as a palm? Don't you think about it. The Buddha statue originally placed is only eight or nine meters long. If you steal one of such a large Buddha statue, I'll take a look?" Liu Sa jumped on
Lotus mount view.
Monk Le Ke said: "What Mr. Liu said is reasonable. Even now, it is not easy to take away such a huge Buddha statue. It is better to say it is taken away than stealing it."
“What’s the difference?”
"Why is there no difference? I steal your wallet and ask you for money? If you want to move away such a large Buddha statue, it will definitely not work secretly, so I can only move away openly."
"You mean someone deliberately wanted to leave the big Buddha statue from here? Such a big thing is like the Leshan Buddha, why should I take it away?"
"Of course, I will take it for offering." said the monk Leke, "What did Mr. Liu find?"
"It seems that there are very strange marks here, as if they have been soaked in water for many years, or they seem to have been burned by fire, with black marks."
After the monk flew over, he looked at it, and he lay on the lotus seat and sniffed it.
Liu Sa joked: "What do you smell? Gods and Buddhas don't go to the toilet."
"It's a bloody smell." The monk Le Ke stood up, "After a special treatment, the black mark was left when the Buddha statue was welded, and the water marks had a heavy bloody smell."
"No, these monks are still killing? Looking back, it seems necessary to report and expose it." Liu Sa was full of justice.
The monk Leke shook his head: "It's not them, the smell of blood is very old and has been accumulated for a long time. The monk guessed it was the Buddha statue itself."
"Stop playing the puzzle. Don't you have that six-way trick? You've seen through it for a long time. If you have a fart, just let it go." Erpang couldn't bear it anymore.
"The Buddha said, "You cannot say, you cannot say."
I sighed, "Forget it, let's go and have a look."
We searched around and found something very interesting.
This is where except for the lost Buddha statues, the gods of other Buddhist sects are intact and Vajra ** are all available.
"I suspect that the person who stole the Buddha statue was a fan of Buddha figures. Otherwise, why would he just take the Buddha statue and not touch anything else?" Erpang complained accurately.
I fell into thinking.
I remembered the experiences of those people in Hall Country and the Buddha statues here.
Is it someone collecting Buddha statues? So what is he looking for?
I took out the Buddha statue I got from the mummy before and turned it accidentally. I found a round hole under the base of the Buddha statue.
I climbed up to the lotus seat and went to see the mark they said. If the Buddha statue is enlarged several times, there will be a bloody watermark in the middle of the round hole on the base.
In other words, what is really hidden in that huge Buddha statue?
So what exactly is it worth the other party’s struggle?
I thought about it for a long time but had no idea, so I looked up and looked up. There was a mural painted on the dome directly above the lotus base.
It is said that the Buddha was riding a dragon and heading west, and the middle point of the watermark just corresponds to the dragon's eyes.
Longan?
Could it be that - Blood Longyan!?
On the mural, the dragon head and the Buddha both look to the west, which is behind the lotus seat, and the road to the ancient tomb is even deeper.
"Erpeng, senior, but Ah Hui is still there. Let's walk forward."
They agreed and followed me around the lotus seat and continued to walk towards the ancient tomb.
After a long journey, we came to the next ancient room.
Compared to the previous one, there is a bit of an ancient tomb here.
There are slippery and rough stones around, and the entire tomb chamber is filled with urns.
However, the urn here is larger than the jar, just one person taller.
Generally, ancient urns were used to pickle vegetables or store grain. In winter, cold vegetables were placed in the urn and covered with a lid to pickle them. When you want to eat them, you will take them out and they will be crispy and delicious.
But such a large jar and hundreds of them were placed, how many pickles were pickled?
Thinking of these things being placed in underground ancient tombs, and they are also Buddhist temples, it is inevitable that I can think that these are actually like the underground ancient tombs of Famen Temple, which are used to bury monks, also known as urn burials.
Erpang also agreed with this.
I touched the urn and felt that the surface was very cold. It was indeed possible that it was used to store the body.
"So many urns are placed here. Could it be that all the monks here are dead?"
To be continued...
