Chapter 210: Devouring Lotus (1st Update)
Qin Feng immediately stopped his movements, paused, and walked forward a few steps quickly, and on the stone wall opposite the stone gate, there was an inconspicuous black mark.
Qin Feng walked forward quickly, and under the illumination of the strong light, the black mark suddenly appeared clearly.
"It's ......"
Qin Feng looked carefully at the black mark in front of him, at first glance, the first impression of the entire mark was a black mass, there was nothing special, it was like an ink ball, but when he stepped forward, under the illumination of the strong light overhead, in the black mark, it could be clearly seen that there was a black pattern like a lotus flower.
After Qin Feng saw this clearly, he was immediately taken aback in his heart.
Fang Mokai on the side, seeing Qin Feng's move, suddenly became puzzled, took a closer look, and saw Qin Feng's eyes staring at this black mark without blinking, Fang Mokai himself also took a look, decades of archaeological experience told him that this black mark was not special.
Among the ancient tombs, there are many such frescoes, imprints, reliefs and so on.
This has something to do with the beliefs of the tomb owners during their lifetimes.
Or it has something to do with the beliefs and habits of the tomb builders.
Fang Mokai had encountered such a similar thing.
More than 10 years ago, the archaeological team discovered an ancient tomb group, about six or seven hundred years from today, a full thirty or forty ancient tombs together, and the ancient tombs have not been visited by tomb robbers.
At that time, he led the archaeological team to excavate.
When the main chamber of the first ancient tomb came out, unexpectedly, there was not a single mural in the main tomb, let alone any reliefs.
Although the funerary goods are abundant, they are not of much help to archaeological research.
Archaeology is a study of the culture of the time when the tomb owner was alive.
That's what archaeology is all about.
It's like the same thing, in the eyes of different people, its value is different, and this stems from the difference in values of each person.
For example, in the eyes of a feng shui master, the most valuable thing about the ancient tomb is the feng shui layout, which can teach him a lot.
In the eyes of tomb robbers, the most valuable thing is the burial goods, which are a lot of Grandpa Mao.
Naturally, in the eyes of archaeologists, the most valuable thing is the historical study of archaeological culture.
Everyone's ideas are different, and their values are different.
Back to business.
At that time, Fang Mokai was a little disappointed, originally thinking that such a large group of ancient tombs would be very helpful for the historical research of that era, but the result was unexpected.
Fang Mokai was a little unwilling, and after carefully searching for it several times, he unexpectedly found that there was a special small mark under the coffin in the main burial chamber.
At that time, Fang Mokai was pleasantly surprised by this discovery, thinking that he had discovered something new.
As a result, the next archaeological excavation made him puzzled, and the final research query results were bitterly smiling.
Because, every main burial chamber has such a mark under the coffin.
Later research revealed that the mark had no meaning, and was simply a mark left by the tomb builders themselves.
It's like the trademarks of modern society, which are all one nature.
Fang Mokai looked at Qin Feng's shocked expression and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?" Master Qin. ”
"Did Professor Fang see this lotus flower in this black mark?" Qin Feng continued to stare at this black mark without blinking, and said lightly to Fang Mokai in his mouth.
"Lotus, huh, it's really a lotus. Master Qin, does this lotus flower have any special meaning?" Hearing Qin Feng say this, Fang Mo Kaizai looked at it carefully again, and sure enough, there was a lotus pattern, but then there was more confusion, it was normal to have a lotus pattern outside this passage!
More than 10 years ago, it was still like a pig.
What's more, in the ancient tombs, there are many ancient tomb owners, who are all people who believe in Buddhism before their deaths, and engrave a lotus, which is normal, many ancient tombs, there are lotus carvings, and the lotus flower as a Buddhist teaching flower, it is normal to be worshiped by believers, but this lotus is actually rendered into black lines, which is indeed a bit strange, but there is no big problem?
No, this is the ancient tomb of Genghis Khan, and people don't seem to believe in Buddhism, but in the Tao.
It is recorded in the official history that Genghis Khan treated the Quanzhen Sect with great respect.
To Fang Mokai's inquiry, Qin Feng did not answer, but continued to stare at the black lotus mark.
The black lotus flower on the stone wall in front of him had ten petals, which shocked Qin Feng in his heart.
The Buddhist scriptures say: There are no dozens of petals of lotus flowers in the world, no more than hundreds of petals of lotus flowers in the sky, and more than 1,000 petals of lotus flowers in the pure land. And the black lotus seal on the wall in front of him is ten petals.
Qin Feng's mind at this moment suddenly began to think quickly.
He knew that there was actually a secret story in the Feng Shui world, a secret legend about the Black Lotus.
It is rumored that when the Buddha sat down, it was a colorful lotus flower, which was transformed by the colorful lotus, and seven in Buddhism does not represent a number, but a representation, representing perfection. Seven characters and one word, referring to the east, west, north, south, up and down middle, this is the consummation, and this is what it means.
As we all know, Buddhism is colorful, but also represents the colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, each representing the seven expressions of the east, west, north, south, upper and lower middle, in fact, in Buddhism, there is a kind of black lotus, which means to cover all this. The black lotus imprint in front of me expresses everything, and it expounds infinity.
Buddhism emphasizes compassion and self-denial, black represents evil and greed, and naturally it will not promote this black lotus, so the world does not know the existence of this black lotus. However, in the history of the wilderness, there have been records of the black lotus, which is the evil side of Buddhism, representing devouring.
Thinking of this, the thoughts in Qin Feng's mind also became clear.
Looking up at the stone gate, he glanced at the location of the lotus sigil.
The place where the black lotus blooms, the direction it points to, is exactly this stone gate. The black lotus represents devouring, and the end of the passage is the door of the main tomb, and the door of the main tomb is the bureau of the yang house of the green dragon on the left and the white tiger on the right.
Thinking of this, Qin Feng's pupils contracted instantly, and his whole person's expression suddenly changed.
Subconsciously glanced at the stone gate, and then took a few steps back.
"What's the matter, Master Qin?" Fang Mokai's inquiry was not answered, and he didn't care, seeing Qin Feng thinking about the question, he didn't bother, he was just thinking about it, and when he saw Qin Feng's demeanor at this moment, as if he had thought of something terrifying, he immediately asked with concern.
"It's nothing, Professor Fang, there's bad news, I'm afraid I have to tell you. Qin Feng took a deep breath, and then said slowly.
"Bad news? Master Qin, you say. Hearing Qin Feng's words, Fang Mokai was also slightly uneasy in his heart.
