Chapter 745: Mulberry Incense Buddha House
"Big brother, what the hell is this place?"
After hearing Peng Bin's words, Fang Yi couldn't help but ask, at this time the sun had risen, and the heavens and the earth had returned to their previous colors, but the building in the distance was seen more clearly, and the strong Buddhist style really made Fang Yi think that he had come to the country of Buddhism.

"Fang Yi, have you ever heard of Angkor Wat?" Looking at the buildings in the distance, Peng Bin said: "This is Angkor Wat, it is the largest temple building in the world and a national treasure of Cambodia!"
"Angkor Wat?" Fang Yi shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Haven't you heard of it, is it very famous?"
To tell the truth, although Fang Yi is very intelligent, erudite and strong, he was still a little Taoist priest who had not been down the mountain for a long time before half a year, and he had not been able to fully grasp the geographical and historical knowledge of his country, where did he know about the places of interest abroad.
"Nonsense, of course it is famous, the first place in the world to be assessed as a cultural heritage, like the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang on the Great Wall of China, is one of the eight wonders of the world......"
Peng Bin seems to be incomprehensible that Fang Yi has never heard of the name of Angkor Wat, because Angkor Wat is so famous that it is not only the largest Buddhist temple in the world, but also the earliest Gothic building in the world.
Peng Bin naturally doesn't know what Gothic architecture is, but he has been to Angkor Wat before, and once listened to the tour guide's introduction, like this towering spire, some of which look like pagoda-like buildings, are collectively known as Gothic architecture, which was originally believed to have originated in France.
However, after research, the Gothic architecture of Angkor Wat is the earliest in the world, and some experts even reason that France, Italy and other Gothic buildings in the world have adopted the architectural style of Angkor Wat, which is the origin of the real Gothic architecture.
Hearing that Angkor Wat was so famous, Fang Yi couldn't help but recall in his mind the Buddhist classics he had read, and suddenly Fang Yi's eyes lit up, he pointed to the building in the distance, and said, "I remember, this...... This Angkor Wat isn't the place that should be called the Sang Xiang Buddha House?"
"What kind of place is that? I haven't heard of it. Peng Bin shook his head when he heard this, he only knew that this place was called Angkor Wat, and Peng Bin didn't know if there was no other name.
"It must be Sangxiang Buddha House, I didn't expect it to appear again......"
Looking at the buildings in the distance, Fang Yi showed a look of amazement on his face, after comparing it with the records about the Sangxiang Buddha House in his mind, Fang Yi could be sure that this was the mysterious place where there were many records in Buddhist scriptures.
In some Buddhist classics where Fang Yi lived, it is recorded that in the era of the Angkor Dynasty, which is adjacent to the land of China, there was a Buddhist building that shocked the world, but in those classics, this building is not called Angkor Wat, but is called Sangxiang Buddha House.
As for why it is called Sangxiang Buddha House, it is not stated in the classics, but it is called a holy place of Buddhism, with incredible magic, and it is said that the disciples who practice here are the most likely to achieve the Buddha's body.
It's just that in the later Buddhist classics, this Sangxiang Buddha House suddenly disappeared, no one knows what the reason is, for thousands of years, Sangxiang Buddha House has never appeared in front of the world, so just now Fang Yi did not associate it with the Angkor Wat in front of him.
"Big brother, when did the Sangxiang Buddha House appear?" Fang Yi turned his head to look at Peng Bin, he had read too much praise for this temple in some Buddhist classics, but he didn't expect that this was actually the place where Long Po Tuo was born.
"Don't you know about Angkor Wat, how do you know that this place has disappeared?" asked Peng Bin with some curiosity.
"The way we read this place in China is not the same as what you said, big brother, when did this place appear again?"
Fang Yi explained to Peng Bin the name of Angkor Wat in Buddhism, in fact, in those classics, Angkor Wat also has a name, that is, "Vishnu's Temple", which means the place where the gods live, and in some ancient Indian texts, the Buddha is also called a god.
"I don't know exactly when Angkor Wat appeared, it should be about 100 years, right?"
Although Peng Bin had listened to the tour guide when he came to Angkor Wat before, he was not very interested in these, basically the left ear went in and the right ear went out, and he could only remember a general age and legends about Angkor Wat.
According to the guide, Angkor Wat was a building that shocked the world during the Angkor Dynasty, but in the early 15th century, it was suddenly empty.
In the centuries that followed, the Angkor region was transformed into a wooded and overgrown wilderness, and no one ever set foot in the area again, except for the once glorious ancient city hidden in it, and until the ruins were discovered, even the inhabitants of Cambodia who lived not far from it knew about it.
It is said that the culture of any nation should have its continuity and development, not to mention that Angkor was a dynasty that had flourished for 600 years, and it was no less than any ancient civilization in the world, but the culture of the Angkor Dynasty was suddenly interrupted and disappeared into the long river of history, and there was no warning before.
Some people attribute this to the invasion of a foreign enemy, but the invasion of a foreign enemy may lead to a change of dynasty, but how can the people of all nationalities disappear?
Many of the world's well-known archaeologists and historians have visited Angkor Wat, according to their research, there were more than one million people living in the Angkor area in the past, and where did this people and these people go, since the emergence of Angkor Wat, this has always been an unsolvable mystery in the world scientific research community.
"Hey, no, according to what I know, the place where Long Po Tuo was born should be very remote......"
Peng Bin suddenly frowned, because he thought of many rumors about Luang Po To, which was rumored to have been born in a very remote village, so it was somewhat different from Angkor Wat, because a thousand years ago, it was in the most glorious and prosperous era.
"Nine times out of ten, things in historical materials are not accurate. ”
Hearing Peng Bin's words, Fang Yi was a little unimpressed, in the domestic Taoist classics, there are many mythical characters The time of their appearance is not very consistent with the reality, just like the specific time when Lao Tzu and Lao Tzu took the ox to the west to send a letter to the customs, no one has been able to accurately verify it.
In the record of Lao Tzu in Cihai, it is said that Lao Tzu, a thinker in the Spring and Autumn Period and the founder of Taoism, should be of the same age as Confucius, but in Taoist classics, Lao Tzu, as the ancestor of Taoism, is an ancient person, and the age between the two cannot be matched.
Therefore, Fang Yi has always been dismissive of historical books, because no one knows what happened before, as for the so-called written records, they are all written by people, and no one knows whether what is written is true or false, and how much credibility there is.
"According to what you say, the era in which Long Po Tuo lived may really be earlier than Angkor Wat......" Peng Bin listened to Fang Yi's narration with relish, and he had been studying Long Po Tuo's life during this time, and he could understand what Fang Yi said.
"The things recorded in the Buddhist and Taoist texts are very different from those recorded in the history books, and I think that in those days, some things may have happened that are not clear. ”
Fang Yi sighed secretly in his heart, in the ancient times recorded in a few Taoist classics, it had never been seen in human history, at best, it was to cover the past with some stories of the deification of Nuwa mending the sky, but no one knew what really happened in that era.
"Fang Yi, did you say that the disappearance of those people in Angkor Wat will all enter the mysterious space?"
Peng Bin suddenly had a thought in his mind, "Millions of people disappeared together, it is absolutely impossible for it to be caused by the war, because even if a million pigs line up for people to kill, it is impossible to kill them in the cold weapon period, not to mention that the buildings of Angkor Wat have no traces of being destroyed by the war, yes, those people must have entered the mysterious space, even if the space that Long Po Tuo once entered ......"
"Big brother, I don't know about this......" Seeing Peng Bin's excited face, Fang Yi poured a basin of cold water on him, "Big brother, even if those people enter the mysterious space, we may not be able to enter it......"
"Why? Millions of people have gone in, why can't we get in?!" Peng Bin interrupted Fang Yi's words dissatisfiedly.
"Big brother, how many years has this Angkor Wat reappeared?" Fang Yi asked.
"More than a hundred years, what's wrong?" Peng Bin replied angrily.
"So in the past 100 years, has anyone ever disappeared from Angkor Wat?"
Fang Yi's question made Peng Bin dumbfounded, not to mention, although Cambodia was in turmoil due to the civil war in the early years, and many people died, Peng Bin really didn't hear the news of tourists dying or missing in Angkor Wat.
"Big brother, do you think that no one has entered the space for more than a hundred years, can we go in?"
Looking at Peng Bin's depressed face, Fang Yi couldn't help laughing, he always put the worst in front of everything he did, so that even if he couldn't find that mysterious space, Fang Yi wouldn't suffer as much as Peng Bin.
"That's not easy to say, maybe your eldest brother and I have a good character, and I'll go in as soon as I come......"
Peng Bin said unconvinced, but the more he spoke, the quieter his voice became, Peng Bin had also been to Angkor Wat before, and Peng Bin, who had traveled almost all over Angkor Wat, had never entered any mysterious space.
"I said, brother, can't you say something inspiring? Young people should have fighting spirit!"
Peng Bin patted Fang Yi's shoulder angrily, and said: "This time, our brothers will stay here for a while, grandma's, I will measure Angkor Wat inch by inch, and I will also find the space where Long Po Tuo has been, why can that old boy go in, our brothers can't get in!"
"What the eldest brother said is, you will definitely be able to find it!" Fang Yi laughed and followed Peng Bin's words, but the expression on his face was obviously perfunctory, and Peng Bin's face became more and more ugly.
"I only went to Angkor Wat last time, and I didn't go anywhere else, so let's go to the whole Angkor area this time......"
Peng Bin was really ruthless this time, you must know that in the thousands of years since the Angkor Dynasty disappeared, the original Angkor Dynasty has been covered by forests, and now the cleared Angkor Wat and the old ruins of the dynasty are only a small part, and no one knows how many Angkor ruins still exist in the forest and green vines.
"Okay, let's find a ...... here."
Fang Yi didn't say anything cool this time, because since Fang Yi came here, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart, this Angkor Wat may really have something to do with the ancient years, and both disappeared so completely.
"Let's go, I'll take you to Angkor Wat first, let's go to the main gate to buy tickets......" Peng Bin couldn't bear it anymore, he couldn't wait to enter Angkor Wat now to search for the footprints of his predecessors and find that mysterious space.
"Wait, I'll see the whole picture of Angkor Wat......"
Fang Yi waved his hand, and without waiting for Peng Bin to answer, he turned around and ran back into the jungle, picked a tree that was more than forty meters long and equivalent to a ten-storey building, and climbed it with his hands and feet.
"There is no trace of the formation, it is a bit like the layout of the ancient palace......"
Standing on the top of the canopy, Fang Yi could clearly see the entire Angkor Wat building, and he found that the entire Angkor Wat was square in shape, surrounded by a small lake, which looked similar to a moat in China, and there were only two roads leading to Angkor Wat in the middle of the lake.
Standing on the big tree, Fang Yi not only saw the whole picture of Angkor Wat, he also saw some monks living in Angkor Wat, these monks got up early in the morning to clean up, and the melodious bells also came out of Angkor Wat.
Being in this paradise-like place, listening to the bells in the temple, Fang Yi felt extremely quiet in his heart, in Fang Yi's opinion, even if he couldn't find Long Po Tuo's exercises and what mysterious space, his trip was worthwhile.
After coming down from the big tree, Fang Yi couldn't help but feel a little emotional, a city, 10,000 Buddhist temples, with a flick of his fingers, suddenly a thousand years have passed, this kind of history has precipitated a deep heritage, and even makes Fang Yi have a trace of hesitation in the depths of his heart, for fear that his inadvertent behavior will desecrate this thousand-year-old temple.
"Okay, don't go there and reminisce about the ancients, let's go inside and have a look......"
Peng Bin pulled Fang Yi to walk towards Angkor Wat in the distance, as the saying goes, Wangshan runs a dead horse, and the location they are in now is still one or two kilometers away from Angkor Wat, and it will take more than ten minutes to walk over.
Although there are no tall trees on this part of the road, in those places where the vines are overgrown, you can still sometimes see many broken stone carvings, and it is obvious that Fang Yi and their location is already the territory of the former Angkor Dynasty.
