Chapter 756: The Stupa is Stolen
I was relieved and felt a little better, but how could Yuelan leave the unborn sword outside the thief hole?
Was she leaving me a signal? Or was it really a fight that she didn't have time to take and missed?
I crouched on the outside of the cave and looked around the cave.
This thief hole was not made by Yuelan, and I am very familiar with the thief hole that Yuelan played.
Yuelan and I have had a lot of fights, and the many thieves are basically made by shovels, but the one in front of me is clearly not made with a shovel, but by high-tech means.
First dig a hole or so, and then throw a very quiet earth mine.
The power of this kind of thing is not big, the sound is not loud, when the bottom of the pit explodes, the power of the explosion is squeezed to both sides, and the soil is directly squeezed to the wall, so that the problem of soil discharge is solved, and the wall of the robbery hole is compacted, such a robbery hole is very solid, and it is not easy to collapse.
According to the location of the robbery cave, and then look at the stupas around it, it seems that the doorway can be seen.
Most of these relics pagodas were established in the Ming Dynasty, the tombs of the Ming and Qing dynasties are characterized by a high rate of use of green bricks, the top of the tomb has at least two horizontal and two vertical, four layers of blue bricks are capped, and then between the green bricks and the green bricks are sealed with white lime and glutinous rice juice, some also add iron sheets, and some even directly use molten iron to pour to death.
This is still two horizontal and two vertical, exaggerating a point is seven horizontal and seven vertical, a total of fourteen layers of blue bricks, and the top of the tomb alone has a five-meter-thick cap.
What's even more perverted is that not only the top of the tomb, but also the tomb wall and tomb door are made of seven vertical and seven horizontal blue bricks, and the gap is directly poured with molten iron, and this kind of tomb cannot be stolen by ordinary people at all.
And the relics pagoda in front of you, as the tomb of the living Buddha, not to mention the strict guards, at least in the solidity of the tower's construction, it is definitely a perverted degree.
If nothing else, let's just say that each tower spends hundreds of kilograms of gold to forge, since gold is added, then other metals, such as copper, such as iron, this is very possible.
If this is the case, then the top of the tower and the wall of the tower are absolutely inaccessible, and the only way is from the bottom of the tower.
The foundation at the bottom of the tower is generally fragile, and the anti-theft generally does not think of the underground.
Therefore, to deal with this kind of tomb with copper walls and iron walls, the general way is to dig a straight hole at the edge of this tomb, and when it reaches a deep enough place, then dig it horizontally, bypass the top of the tomb and the tomb wall, go directly to the bottom of the tomb, or even directly reach the bottom of the coffin of the main tomb, and directly touch the gold.
I once saw a report of a large tomb that had been confirmed to have never been entered, but the contents had disappeared out of thin air.
When the so-called experts were puzzled and opened the coffin with doubts, they found the answer.
At the bottom of the coffin, there is a thief hole as big as a manhole cover, and the things in the coffin have been hollowed out, but looking from the outside in, the whole coffin is in good condition, and the pierced side is attached to the ground, and it is not visible at all.
And the method used by this tomb robber is the method just described.
I turned my head to look at the two masters, and I said, "Master, who is buried in this relic?"
"The living Buddha of Songzanlin Temple in the past dynasties, my last life was in this one where the golden horn was cut off. Master Kabu pointed to the stupa that cut a corner.
"I'm afraid this tower has been stolen. "I thought about it and said.
"This?" the two looked at each other, and then Master Kabu said, "We've seen every tower, and the towers are fine, and the traps haven't been triggered, and no one has ever entered them." ”
"Two masters, I am a special soldier of the hunter army, I have seen a lot of this situation, this thief hole down, is to the bottom of the tower, because the top of the tower and the surrounding are heavily guarded, and it is extremely hard, it is not easy to enter, so the thieves will dig a thief hole down, from the bottom to the top. I looked at them dumbfounded, and I said, "Do you have anything valuable?"
"This?" the two looked at it hesitantly, and then Kabu said to the first-level living Buddha, "Master, or open the mechanism and go in and have a look." ”
"It's okay, it's just that when you open it at this moment, these golden bodies will see the light, and you have to hurry up to prepare for the gilding ceremony. The first-class living Buddha said.
"Okay, then let's start with my last life. Kabu made a decision, and then found several elders, who seemed to have the keys that they didn't use, and only when they got the keys together and opened them at the same time could they open the stupa.
Several people inserted the key into the door hole at the same time, and then turned to the right at the same time, and then there was a rudder like a steering wheel in the middle, and the first-class living Buddha followed the steering of the key, turning in the opposite direction, but there was a heavy clicking sound inside the door, which was the sound of the gear turning.
I'm surprised, did these things happen in the Ming Dynasty?
I suddenly remembered that Kabu's last life died seventeen years ago, which was a modern process, and other stupas were probably also strengthened later.
With a click, the door opened.
After opening the door, I saw a large water tank inside, and the top of the water tank was sealed with you, and the water tank should be closed.
"I'll just say, you look at the water tank well, and it hasn't been opened yet. One of the elders in charge of the keys said.
"Have you ever looked down from this thief's hole?" I asked him.
"Not really. He shook his head suddenly and said, "We're not sure if this is a thief hole, besides, such a small thief hole, if you really want to steal the golden body, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out, and it will be stuck." ”
"Isn't there any valuable burial goods except the golden body?" I looked at him puzzled.
"Basically, no, it's usually a golden body, and then the clothes on the body, prayer beads, and hands. The elder said.
Both the first-level Living Buddha and the Kabu Living Buddha looked at me, I nodded, and the Kabu Living Buddha said, "Prepare to open the seal, and you also prepare things, prepare the gilded statue." ”
"Okay. And everybody got busy.
Then the elder took a ring knife, cut off the dirt on the side of the lid on the top of the cylinder, and then slowly opened the lid, there was mud and straw in the lid, he pulled it up gently, and then poked his head in, his face changed color instantly, and he said in shock: "No, how can this be?"
I sighed, and as I expected, it must have been exactly what I thought.
The two living Buddhas walked over, and I followed behind, and I glanced at all the water tanks, and all the water tanks were leaking, and there was no golden body in them, and they were empty.
"Open the others and take a look. There was also a hint of surprise on Kabu's face.
Then the other stupas were all opened, and sure enough, just like the first one, all the golden bodies in the water tank were gone, and the water tank was leaking from the bottom and was pulled up from the bottom.
