Chapter 137: A Chinese Ghost Story
On that day, Lin Yang and the Demon-shaped Girl found a hotel at the foot of the mountain. The next day, they began to search in Mount Emei again, and their footprints were all over the place. Although it was already early May, the mountains were still extremely cool.
Three days have passed, but there is still no trace of his eyes. Many times, when there is no one around, Lin Yang always holds a magic-shaped woman and uses his light skills to reach every mountain, which saves a lot of time.
Lin Yang felt more and more that it was because he had no Taoism and could not detect the location of the treasure. The immortal said that he would not be wrong. He said that it should be here.
Just like the Taoist priest Zhang, he found his "ear" in the vast desert of the northern desert. Logically speaking, it was even harder to find it. He must have received guidance from the immortals. He was a Taoist priest and must have practiced Taoism, so he was able to find it in the end.
After Zeng Sen was a demon, he must have some Taoism. Thinking about the scene where he fled with Lauren at that time, he took out a yellow talisman in his hand, and he dripped blood here, and used some "hidden" techniques.
On this day, he and the demon-shaped girl came to Leshan Giant Buddha. The head of Leshan Giant Buddha was in line with the mountain, stepped on the river, and stroked his knees with both hands. The Buddha was symmetrical and his spirit was solemn. He was carved against the mountain and sat in a dangerous position near the river.
According to the records of Wei Gao of the Tang Dynasty, "Record of the Great Buddha Statue of Lingyun in Jiazhou" and Peng Rushi in the Ming Dynasty, the initiator of the excavation of the Great Buddha in Leshan was Monk Haitong. Haitong was a native of Guizhou and built a thirs in Lingyun Mountain. In ancient times, where the three rivers of Leshan converged, the Minjiang River, Qingyi River and Dadu River gathered at the foot of Lingyun Mountain, and the water was quite fierce. The boat collection was often overturned. Whenever the summer floods, the river water hit the mountain walls, which often caused the tragedy of the ship being destroyed and people being killed. Seeing this, the monk Haitong decided to dig the statue of Maitreya Buddha on the cliff, hoping to rely on boundless magic power, "prone to brute waves to be safe", reduce the water killing momentum, and forever keep the wind and waves. Therefore, the monk Haitong traveled all over the country, raising money and digging the Buddha.
The Buddha statue started in the early years of Kaiyuan (713 AD) of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. When the Buddha reached the shoulder, the monk Haitong passed away. After Haitong's death, the project was interrupted. About ten years later, Zhang Qiu Jianqiong, the governor of Xichuan in Jiannan, donated his salary. Haitong's apprentice led craftsmen to continue to build the Buddha. Due to the huge project, the court ordered the tax on hemp and salt, which made the project progress quickly. When the Leshan Buddha reached the knee
The continued constructionist Zhang Qiu was also transferred to Qiong's family as Minister of Revenue, and the project was suspended again. Forty years later, Wei Gao, the governor of Xichuan in Jiannan, donated his salary to continue to build the Leshan Buddha. With the efforts of three generations of craftsmen, it took 90 years to complete the construction in the 19th year of Zhenyuan (803 AD). Wei Gao first wrote the "Records of the Great Maitreya Stone Statue of Lingyun Temple in Jiazhou" which records the beginning and end of the excavation of the Buddha. The original monument still exists on the right side of the Great Buddha on the river cliff.
The Leshan Giant Buddha has a very clever drainage system. The two ears and the back of the head of the Leshan Giant Buddha have a clever and hidden drainage system, which plays an important role in protecting the Buddha. It prevents the Buddha statue from being eroded by rain. The drainage system is spread all over the Buddha statue.
Frankly speaking, if you hadn't come to the feet of the Buddha in person, you would have no way of experiencing its majesty and magic! This is no longer a simple scenery. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese working people!
Lin Yang and the Demon-shaped Woman were standing at the feet of the Big Buddha at this moment. Their figures were like small ants compared to the Big Buddha. The Demon-shaped Woman was also amazed by such a artificially built Buddha. She admired the magical skills of the ancient Chinese.
In front of the Buddha is the Minjiang River. The breeze blows, making people feel refreshed. The Minjiang River water here is extremely green. It is as green as a piece of jasper; the Minjiang River water here is extremely quiet, as quiet as a mirror, reflecting the lush forests. The bright sunshine shines on the water surface, and the water surface is calm and motionless. The sunlight reflects on the body of the Buddha. The Buddha is like wearing a shining robe. Looking at the Buddha close up, I saw the Buddha nodding his head and lowering his eyebrows, thinking. Its eyes stare kindly into the distance, as if begging God to bless the good people for peace.
The Leshan Giant Buddha is called "the mountain is a Buddha, and the Buddha is a mountain". This sentence vividly summarizes the majestic momentum of the Leshan Giant Buddha.
After reaching this, Lin Yang decided to search here. However, before searching, he would enter some movies of gods and monsters to learn some Taoism!
Lin Yang took out his notebook and searched for some movies through the wireless network. He currently has thirty points of fairy energy, so he can logically enter some low-level monster movies.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Yang chose a movie, which is of a lower level in the fairy movie. Lin Yang first tried it out, whether he could enter. When Lin Yang paused, the watch prompted: You have 30 points of fairy energy to protect your body, and you can practice in the movie; 30 points of fairy energy increase your permission to enter the movie, and you can enter the movie without being restricted by time.
Yes! Lin Yang clenched his fists, and it seemed that these ten points of immortal energy were still very useful.
The Demon-shaped Woman kept watching him. Seeing Lin Yang's happy look, the Demon-shaped Woman knew that there should be no problem, but she still asked: "How is it? Can you enter this time and space?"
"No problem!" Lin Yang nodded and said.
"Then go." said the demon-shaped woman.
Lin Yang looked at the Demon-shaped Woman and continued, "Many situations in this plane are different from ordinary time and space, and I can't judge that there will be many supernatural ghosts and gods, so... you have to follow me tightly and keep following me. Are you afraid of ghosts?"
"Well..." said the demon-shaped woman: "I will follow you and I will be afraid of nothing!"
"Okay! Hold me!" Lin Yang said.
With a "brush", the two disappeared in a corner of the Leshan Giant Buddha!
This is the world of "A Chinese Ghost Story"!!!
Lin Yang entered the 1987 version of "A Chinese Ghost Story". It was produced by Tsui Hark and directed by Cheng Xiaodong. It was remake of the same name film produced by Shaw Brothers in 1960. The stories all originated from a piece "Nie Xiaoqian" in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". The starring is the deceased Hong Kong star Leslie Cheung and the beautiful and stunning Hong Kong actor Wang Zuxian!
The film tells the story of the scholar Ning Caichen going to Lanruo Temple to hide from the rain and being attracted by the beautiful piano music of the girl Nie Xiaoqian. The two have been dating closely since then. Unexpectedly, Xiaoqian is a female ghost manipulated by the tree spirit grandma, and is looking for a strong man to absorb the essence. The swordsman Yan Chixia helps Ning Caichen to deal with her grandma and become their lovers. This film is one of the most classic masterpieces of Tsui Hark and Cheng Xiaodong. The actors' styles and performances are quite exciting, and the interludes of several movies written by Huang Zhan are also very beautiful. Since then, two sequels "A Chinese Ghost Story 2: The Way of the World" and "A Chinese Ghost Story 3: Daodao".
When Lin Yang and the Demon-shaped Girl arrived here, it was dark and they were in an empty place, whirling the night wind, giving people a cold feeling.
"It's so cold here." The magic-shaped woman tightened her clothes, and this time she still turned into an ancient beauty.
"Don't be afraid! There is a broken temple in front of you, let's go there." Lin Yang said, pulling the demon-shaped woman, exerting force with her feet, and heading towards the broken temple in the distance like a grass.
Now Lin Yang has a very deep internal strength and a strange physique. He runs much faster than ordinary internal skills masters. The magic-shaped woman only felt a gust of wind blowing by her ears and came to the ruined temple.
Standing next to the temple, they did not enter directly, but jumped and flew to the top of the temple. The temple looked like an isolated temple, which was disrepaired all year round and was already ruined. A lot of rubble on the top of the temple had fallen. Lin Yang pulled the magic-shaped woman and looked inside from a big hole. Then the vague starlight. Lin Yang saw everything in the temple.
The temple is full of dust, with moss on the broken walls and spider webs everywhere. In the center of the temple is a dilapidated Buddha statue. The golden lacquer has fallen off, revealing the black and gray soil. I am afraid no one has cleaned it for many years.
The era when "A Chinese Ghost Story" took place cannot be verified. Some people say it was the end of the Tang Dynasty, some say it was the end of the Song Dynasty, and some say it was the end of the Yuan Dynasty. The description in the film is that it occurred in a dynasty with chaos in the government and hardships in people's livelihood.
In "A Hundred Movies to Watch in Life" published in Hollywood, "A Chinese Ghost Story" was selected. According to an American friend who has watched the movie, "The performance of the male protagonist is amazing. He should be over 20 years old, but he interprets a teenage scholar vividly." In fact, Leslie Cheung has been thirty-one this year.
Lin Yang was thinking about two people coming into the ruined temple. One was a big man with a beard and the other was strong and unyielding. The two seemed to have agreed. After entering the temple, they did not speak. They looked at each other. Then they each took their swords and started a fight.
But I saw the blue sword light of the bearded man suddenly soaring into the sky. The sword in the air made three sword flowers, like a snake spitting out the core, and stabbing straight into the other person's eyebrows.
The man also drew his sword at an extremely fast speed. Before the two swords had intersected, the two sword energy collided and made a "ding" sound.
Then the two of them soared into the air, "Ding Ding Ding Dang Dang!" The two swords intersected in the air, as fast as lightning. The sword energy emitted saw sword marks on the surrounding walls.
Lin Yang estimated that these two people had deliberately gained some skills. Otherwise, the broken wall of the temple would have been cut off by the sword energy. The two of them fought like a spark of calcium carbide for dozens of rounds.
Gradually, the bearded man gained the upper hand. But seeing his sword technique suddenly change, his body changes, and suddenly moved behind another person. The man quickly turned around and waved his hand to block the move. However, at the same time, the bearded man's sword tip had already pressed against his chest.
The man was furious, and the sword swung his head, competing with the big man again. He had actually lost that moment just now.
The bearded man was not angry, and then he went to face him with a sword!
At this moment, a scholar carrying a bamboo basket suddenly broke in from outside the temple. Somehow he stumbled and ran between the two.
"Brush" the two swords stopped fighting, but pointed at each other, and the scholar was sandwiched in the middle. The two stared at each other, as if they didn't see the scholar!
"Xiahou, you compete with me every year. This is the seventh year. You are defeated by me every time. Humph! You are a little patient. You will chase you wherever I avoid." The bearded man said sternly.!~!
