Chapter 757: Amulet
"Let's go, go down and have a look. "The first-class living Buddha was also amazed, and I thought that if all the stupas were shaped like this, I think this lesson would make them remember it for a long time.
And the stupas of other monasteries will inevitably begin to be re-strengthened against theft.
"I'll go down first. "When they helped me inject the Spirit Monarch's sword, they were all injured, and this matter is related to Yuelan, I will definitely go first.
Besides, I'm good at this, and since I know the route they dig the hole, I must be familiar with it.
It's just that one thing that surprised me was that since this robbery hole was discovered, why didn't the two living Buddhas call the police, and what made me even more unbelievable was that they didn't go down to check.
I bit the flashlight in my mouth, and then a rope was tied to the stupa and the other end was tied around my waist.
Before going down, I said, "I'll go down in a while, and if it's all right, I'll pull this rope, and when you see the rope shaking, you pull it up, and then go down again." ”
"Okay. Everyone nodded at the same time.
I followed the hole and lowered the rope little by little.
The walls of this cave are indeed tighter and firmer than those we dug out, and they are very uniform, and the thickness does not vary too much.
Since it is vertically downward, there is no place to grasp or lower the foot around it, and it is all hung by a rope.
At the end of the day, it was about five meters deep.
There is no dirt at the bottom of the cave, which is a very powerful method.
According to the previous method of using the Luoyang shovel to steal holes, we also need to discharge soil outside, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also easy for people to find.
His method of stealing holes is not easy for people to find, and it saves a lot of time and manpower.
You must know that generally pouring a bucket is a one-night thing, and if you don't succeed in one night, it is basically impossible to succeed.
Because when you go back the next day, it may have already been revealed, and the police are squatting there.
So it's generally a night time, if you can get it, if you can't, you can get it, you have the courage to go the next day, but the average veteran will not be more than two days.
I untied the rope, and then I pulled it twice, and the people above began to pull the rope, and I saw that the rope was going up little by little.
I looked at the thief hole, and when I got to the bottom, there was a sudden turn, parallel forward, and sure enough, it was an 'L' tunnel shape, but it was not high to squat forward.
Then I walked four or five meters, and there was a space about two meters in diameter, and there was charcoal and sand scattered on the ground, and then there was a dried corpse in the clothes of a lama sitting cross-legged on the ground, which must have been pulled down from underneath.
I approached the space, and when I looked up, there was a light on it, and above it was a stupa with a circular water tank mouth faintly visible.
The dried corpse was intact, it didn't look like it was rotting, there was so much charcoal on the ground, and there was a kerosene lamp, I remembered what my grandfather had told me about how not to rot.
In fact, this is also a secret of Buddhism and Taoism.
Whether it is a monk or a Taoist, they will have the habit of oral cinnabar before their death, cinnabar is poisonous, mercury is extracted from the dansha mine, but if you take a small amount, it can cure diseases, and many Taoist priests use cinnabar to cure diseases.
It's just that cinnabar can't be absorbed by the human body, so it will be deposited in the body, and the cinnabar has an antiseptic function.
But this alone is not enough, and for some time before the end of the day, both monks and Taoists will go into retreat, and during this retreat, they will swallow a lot of cinnabar.
Excessive swallowing of cinnabar will cause poisoning, and the symptoms of poisoning will be vomiting and diarrhea, and most of the water in the body will be removed.
You must know that two-thirds of the human body is water, so rapid dehydration can save the dehydration link after death, in fact, it also increases the concentration of cinnabar in the body in disguise.
The last step, and the most crucial step, is to enter the tank.
The bottom of the tank is covered with sand, a layer of charcoal is placed on top of the sand, and a kerosene lamp is buried around the edge of the charcoal.
When the body is passed away or seated, the body is placed in a water tank, and then the person who handles the funeral is given an account and the kerosene lamp is lit.
After that, close the lid and close the tank lid with dirt and straw.
The outside has to be completely sealed with a mixture of mud and glutinous rice juice to keep it breathable.
After a few minutes, the oxygen in the tank is burned by the kerosene lamp, and the entire tank is in a vacuum-sealed state, which is the most fundamental reason why the body does not decompose.
In the case of vacuum sealing, the pressure inside the corpse is even slightly greater than that outside the corpse.
Therefore, the corpse, which is already highly dehydrated, will slowly emit grease outward, and the grease fire will flow into the charcoal and sand, and be absorbed by it, which is also the legendary corpse oil.
Under such strict steps, the success rate of dried corpses is very high, and it is also a secret of incorruptibility.
However, the Taoist priests or monks who are qualified to enter the vain must be highly respected people, especially in the current era of the end of the law, and the general small characters do not have this qualification, so they can only be cremated.
Because after the dried corpse comes out and becomes a golden body, it is to be worshiped by the world's gilded incense, so there is no virtue and respect before death, why should you enjoy the incense worship after death?
This used to be the secret method of Buddhism, but with the development of the times and the decline of Buddhism, these may not be so secret.
Just when I was stunned, the first level of the living Buddha and the Kabu living Buddha behind had already followed, I came back to my senses, turned my head to look at them, and said: "I guessed right, you see that this thief cave is connected to other places, indicating that these relics stupas are all stolen by the same person at one time, but if there is only a golden body in the relics pagoda, and the golden body is there, then what is the purpose of his tomb robbery this time." ”
The first-level living Buddha didn't answer me, and then quickly crawled towards the dry corpse, and then after examining the dry corpse, he stretched out his hand towards his face.
Only then did I realize that there was a slight hole in the face of the dry corpse, like a gap, but it was quite natural, as if the mouth was slightly opened before death.
"Stolen. The first-class living Buddha sighed and said.
"Hey, it must be the news of the wood ginseng leak. Kabu sighed and said, "When I was buried, only a few elders knew this secret, and this ginseng was one of them. ”
"What was stolen?" I looked at them in disbelief, ya, I actually hid things in the mouth of the dried corpse, and then closed them layer by layer, but they were all stolen.
"Amulet. Kabu looked at me and said, "Every living Buddha is buried, and he will have a Buddha card in his mouth."
"What's the use of this amulet?" I looked at them puzzled.
"Let's go out and talk about it, let's see how the other gold bodies are first, and if it's okay, transfer the gold bodies out and gild them first. After speaking, the first-level living Buddha walked forward.
I followed suit, and then I found that the same was true in several other places, the golden body was there, but the Buddha cards in the golden body were gone.
And on the edge of the last golden body, there is another thief hole, climb out along the thief hole, and within ten meters of going out, it is flooded.
As soon as the water floods, all the evidence and clues will be blistered away, and it seems that the person who stole the Buddha card is definitely a veteran in the old hands.
