Chapter 142: Entering the Great Buddha
The sitting Buddha is very tall, and even in the darkness they can feel the majestic pressure, perhaps because of the power of darkness, or perhaps because of the instinctive volume contrast, which is fundamentally different from the Buddha seen in the temple.
More than ten meters wide, a few people walked in, only to find that the legs of the Buddha were engraved with a lot of words, but they didn't know each other, neither Chinese characters, nor Tibetan, but like Sanskrit scriptures carved on it. From the toes of the Big Buddha to the whole body, it is densely packed.
Lao Sun pulled Lu Yunfan to the side, at the root of the thigh of the Buddha, a paragraph of text was neatly written with traditional Chinese characters, which seemed to be the translation of this scripture, Lu Yunfan read it from beginning to end, and seemed to understand it.
"Are there really Chinese characters?" Zhang Zhang leaned over and stroked the words, a little incredulous.
"I didn't lie to you, did I? Look here, did I tell you about this line?"
A few people leaned over and followed the direction pointed by Lao Sun, and there was indeed a line of words, eight small block letters, which was the sentence in Lao Sun's mouth before.
"This doesn't seem to be a translation of a certain scripture, right?" Zhang Zhang blurted out, startling all three.
"Obviously, the translations on the thighs are all traditional characters, and they are not in italics, and these eight characters are not only in italics, but also in simplified characters. ”
"Lao Zhang, how long have we known each other? Am I that kind of person? Your words are too hurtful, right?"
"Cut!" Zhang Zhang was obviously just unforgiving, seeing Lao Sun's expression change, he immediately stopped what he said, although Lao Sun is more fond of money, but he is quite passable, they have dealt too much in the past two years, if you want to talk about fooling people, Lao Sun really hasn't done it, and he has helped him many times, and he will still remember these kindnesses.
"Okay, don't argue, this line of writing is indeed left by someone, but the person who left this sentence is by no means a modern person, this kind of wood is hard, and it is not very easy to carve it out with an ordinary knife, and look at the groove edge between the edges, it has also been washed away for many years, and the sharp corners have been washed away a lot, and it is by no means carved by Lao Sun. ”
Lu Yunfan touched the ravine of those words, thoughtful.
"Who carved it? Could it be that it was left by the person who carved the scriptures on the wooden Buddha?" Lin Qiudu held a flashlight, looked at these eight words, and turned around to look at those scriptures, compared with the two, in fact, the difference is still very big, and his guess can be ignored directly.
"If it was left by the person who carved the scriptures, how could it be two fonts, and judging from the traces of erosion, this is obviously not a product of the same era, Lin Da, your guess is quite unreliable!"
Lu Yunfan snorted and laughed twice.
"Alas, whatever, love is at any time, what does it have to do with us, I think the back of this Buddha can be sheltered from the wind, it is better for us to sleep here at night, it feels solid, and the Buddha is sheltered, what bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods can not approach!"
Lin Qiudu is most afraid that Lu Yunfan will make some strange troubles, they are cyclists, not archaeologists, these cultural relics only need to be reported to the relevant departments, they have those senior old scientists to study, they still sleep steadily, if they really have to leave tomorrow, lack of energy is a * annoyance.
"It's indeed a good idea to rest behind the Big Buddha, but now is not the time to sleep, Lin Da, do you want to go and see the movement on the cliff, I seem to hear a voice. ”
Lin Qiudu changed the topic because he didn't want to be entangled in an irrelevant issue, Lu Yunfan heard the meaning of his words very well, taking risks is really not suitable for him, and regular outdoor sports are what Lin Qiudu is good at, so he directly pointed Lin Qiudu to the front.
"Ah, really? I'm going to take a look. Lin Qiudu seemed to be released from a confined environment, and he rushed over in two steps, and at the same time, Lu Yunfan also made a move in his hand.
With a click, the small heart word was actually pressed down by him, and a dull sound of wood rubbing came out of the Big Buddha, as if it had touched some kind of mechanism, and the Big Buddha itself was a large machine, in addition to the hard wood layer outside, there may be another world inside.
Zhang Zhang and Lao Sun were startled, Lao Sun's back was against the rock wall, his legs were already weak, the trembling of the Buddha was like an earthquake, they were in the valley, if the mountain collapsed, none of them would survive.
Zhang Li was much calmer, but his whole body was trembling slightly, and he stammered and asked, "Lu... Lu Yunfan, what did you move, hurry... Hurry up and get back to your place!"
"I can't return to my original position anymore, it's up to fate whether I live or die!"
Lu Yunfan pulled him back, and stood still beside Lao Sun against the rock wall, quietly waiting for the sound to stop.
But instead of stopping, the sound became louder and louder, accompanied by the sound of chains, as if something was approaching them, and after waiting for a minute or so, there was a sudden clang, as if something heavy had landed, and the sound of the mechanism disappeared along with it.
Lin Qiudu ran over panting, and the light of the flashlight shone everywhere, and when it hit several of them, he was completely relieved.
"You... What the hell are you doing? Don't run out when there's an earthquake, you want to die?"
Before the three of them could tell the difference, the sound of stones rubbing suddenly sounded in the dark behind the Buddha, and listening to the unhurried tone, it looked like a stone door was opened.
Lin Qiudu's first thought was the tomb of the living dead of the little dragon girl in the Condor shooting, the jade bees flew out of it in pieces, thinking of the terrifying scene, he felt that his scalp was numb, if he was stung into a big pig's head, then how to ride on the road, I am afraid that he would have to return to the capital directly for hospitalization.
"Run!" Lin Qiudu shouted, turned around and ran, without the light of the flashlight, the place where they were suddenly dark again.
Lu Yunfan wanted to shout and ask him to stand still and not move, but before the words came out of his mouth, Lin Qiudu had already run away, so he had to sigh and say to the old Sun on the side: "Where's the match?"
"Huh!" A firelight appeared, and with the light of the fire, Lu Yunfan grabbed a few matches from the matchbox, ignited one and threw it in front, and found that it was safe under his feet, so he ignited another one, and slowly walked towards the place where the sound had just been made.
Lao Sun and Zhang Liplatoon stood behind him, holding each other's clothes and walking forward with Lu Yunfan.
"I said, how do I feel like there are a lot of traps inside, should we wait until dawn before we go in?" asked Lao Sun in a low voice, he was afraid that the sound would be too loud and touch some mechanism.
"Are you afraid of death?" Zhang Zhang smiled and put his hand on his shoulder.
"you, I'm worried that it's too dark inside, and I can't even see the road, even if there is no danger, do you feel wronged if you fall and crash to death?"
"Well, it's really wronged, why don't you go and chase Xiaolin back, with a flashlight, we'll be much safer." ”
"I think so too, you wait for me at the door for a while, and I'll be back soon!"
I don't know when, the dark clouds gradually dispersed, the moonlight from the thin clouds revealed a bright light, they have been staying in the shadow of the Buddha, did not notice, the old grandson ran out, they found that the shadow outside the bright.
"Lao Sun, don't worry about him, I'll accompany you in to have a look. Zhang Li took a step forward, grabbed the corner of Lu Yunfan's clothes, smiled, and motioned for him to move on.
The stone door had been opened, and the dark and secluded entrance was close in front of him, which completely lured out the tension's curiosity of exploration, and by the weak light of the match, he could see a little of the surrounding environment, but the match was limited after all, and I am afraid that even if they entered, they would not be able to go far before they would fall into darkness again.
"Or wait for Lao Sun, there is moonlight outside, Lin Da can see the situation outside even if he doesn't have a flashlight, we are different, it's so dark inside, it's basically difficult to move an inch without a flashlight. ”
Zhang Li sighed helplessly and sat down on the spot.
It didn't take long for Lao Sun and Lin Qiudu to return together, and after checking that there was nothing unusual at the entrance of the cave, Lu Yunfan took a flashlight to lead the way, and the four of them slowly walked in from the dark and secluded door.
Inside the door was a not claustrophobic space, but it was small, only four or five square meters, and eight iron chains hung a heavy plank of wood at their feet, and the surroundings were empty, and there was no mystery around them.
The four of them groped for a long time, but they didn't find the location of the mechanism, but they obviously heard the sound of the mechanism before, but they couldn't find it at the moment, so they couldn't help but be curious.
Lu Yunfan said: "This should be a mechanism similar to an elevator, if my guess is right, there must be a trigger mechanism somewhere, maybe this is the original tool for transporting wood for the construction of this wooden Buddha, everyone look for it, and there are feet." ”
Lin Qiudu said: "Why do we have to go up, isn't it good for us to stay outside for one night? Leave early tomorrow morning, what should you do, how good, you are all people who have a partner and a daughter-in-law, but people are worried about you outside." ”
As if he hadn't heard, Lu Yunfan continued: "Side, side touch, touch." ”
Lin Qiudu didn't give up, and continued to persuade: "Lu Yunfan, Miao Miao couldn't find you when she came, and she had already cried once, do you have to let her worry about you all the time?"
Lu Yunfan's body was shocked, and he suddenly stopped the movements in his hand, but he was only stunned for a few seconds, and then groped on the wooden board under his feet again.
Lin Qiudu saw that he didn't answer himself, so he already knew, Lu Yunfan didn't hear it, but he didn't want to answer this question at all, so he had to stop asking, but he was angry in his heart, although Lin Miao was already with Lu Yunfan, but after all, she was the girl he liked, and every time he saw Lin Miao shed tears, his heart still hurt.
He stomped frantically and kicked at the chain, and the sound of the clatter caught everyone's attention at once, but the sound did not stop there, but continued to follow the chain all the way up.
The wooden planks under their feet suddenly moved, and then looked at the chains, which were already very tight, and with the clicking sound, the heavy wooden planks under their feet slowly moved off the ground and swayed upward.
