After my story was told, the people around me were immersed in the dark and cold black hole of history like this tunnel, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time. "Old Chang, you mean that these hand bones were all chopped off by Zhang Xianzhong and buried here.www.biquge.info Team Wang subconsciously touched his wrist and asked. Indeed, tens of thousands of hands piled together are creepy enough.

"I think so, otherwise how could there be so many hand bones piled together, and no other bodies can be seen. Zhang Xianzhong claimed to be the reincarnation of the Buddha and collected thousands of sins, and it is estimated that he was also afraid of God's punishment, so he built several pagodas here to suppress resentment. As I was talking, Lao Cai walked back, his face pale, obviously, he heard some of my words, hesitated for a long time, and then said to us: "Team Cao, Lao Chang, when we came here last time, the towers and white bones here were not, I don't know how they came out." ”

Lao Cai's words really shocked us, although I heard that Lao Zhao muttering before, but it really came out of Lao Cai's mouth, especially seeing his slightly distorted face, it didn't look like a lie.

"Could it be that we went the wrong way and ran into some other cave?" asked Captain Wang.

"No, I went to the front to see, it's the wall outside the vault, and the marks we made with stone pens there back then are all there, so you can't be wrong. Lao Cai even trembled slightly in the tone of his reply.

"That's really weird, Lao Cai, in the more than 30 years since you left, someone has come here, piled up white bones on the ground, and built a few pagodas, but this doesn't make sense at all, what is the purpose of these people doing this?" Team Cao scratched his head and asked, this is indeed very puzzling.

"Let's go and see. "I patted the shoulder of the Cao team, I have seen a lot of pagodas, but the first few ones, the style is indescribably awkward, maybe this is the mystery of it?

Stepping through the bones, we came to the foot of the stupa. There are four black towers in total, arranged in four directions, but the volume of the tower is not large, the diameter of the tower base is only more than one meter, and it is about four meters high, and the whole appears to be very slender. On the surface, these towers are no different from the Buddha bone pagoda in the temple, but if you look closely, there is still a big difference.

The general Buddha bone pagoda is nine layers, there are also seven layers, each layer has an eaves, and there are wind chimes hanging on the eaves corners. But these towers are completely dark, and there are no eaves corners, and it is impossible to judge how many floors they are. It looks like a pillar standing on the ground, and if it weren't for the reliefs of some stone doors and window lattices carved on the tower, I wouldn't have connected it to the tower.

Why is the surface of these towers pitch black, I thought it was the color that was painted later, but after touching it carefully, I knocked on it with a flashlight, and the tower made a sound like metal, and the flashlight was attracted by the huge magnetic force of the tower, and it took some effort to pull it back. Could it be a tower, a tower that only exists in ancient books, and there are very few physical objects? And when it appeared, there were four, which shocked me.

Seeing my surprised expression, Team Cao immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and asked me in a low voice: "Old man, this tower seems to be a big magnet, no wonder the electronic equipment inside the wall will also be affected." This group of people is not simple, and they are really willing to invest in building a few towers in it. ”

I smiled bitterly at Team Cao, "Team Cao, I'm afraid it's not that simple, this tower body may be the legendary Xuantie Tower, it is said to be made of meteoric iron, think about it, how rare this meteorite is, find so many meteorites to cast these towers, not to mention how much effort it takes, if you only get some gold out of the vault, it will definitely be a loss-making transaction." I remember a few years ago, at a foreign auction, a meteorite tower that was only more than one person high was auctioned for tens of millions of dollars. ”

"Lao Chang, come and see, there are words on this tower. The king team next to me, who was also carefully inspecting the tower, said to me. I leaned over to take a look, and sure enough, the material of this tower was made of iron bricks, and there were faint words on the piece in the king's hand, but it was not Chinese characters, but it looked like Sanskrit in ancient India. I carefully identified it again, and there was still a difference from the ancient Sanskrit, "Could it be Maitreya?" A thought came to mind, and I couldn't help but blurt it out.

"What Maitreya Sect?" "Team Cao was surprised by what I said. But I didn't bother to explain it to him, so I looked around the tower again, and then examined the other three. Although the ancient Sanskrit is obscure, I still see some clues. This meteorite tower was originally supposed to be one, made of twenty centimeters long and five centimeters high meteorite bricks, and each brick was cast with some Sanskrit when casting, although I couldn't understand it, but it was probably the doctrine of Maitreya.

The thieves must build four towers, but it is estimated that they could not find meteoric iron, so they replaced them with cast iron bricks, demolished the meteorite tower, built four layers of cast iron bricks, and then built a layer of dark iron bricks, so that the four towers were completed, and the cast iron bricks naturally did not have those Sanskrit words on them. This cast pagoda, from the style and material is not the Central Plains, everywhere is obviously weird, but it is very similar to the legendary Maitreya worship pagoda.

My family originally had a small iron tower more than a foot high, which looked very similar to this, but it was not of meteoric iron, and my father told me when he was still there, this is the tower of the dead life cast by the Maitreya Sect in the Ming Dynasty, which is an extremely evil thing, which can drive resentful spirits, but the highest level is the Xuantie Tower, and my father has never seen it. But I don't know exactly how to use it, and I haven't seen anyone else use it, so it's just a legend. However, this kind of argument has been used since ancient times, coupled with the cruel concept of Maitreya Buddhism to kill people as a practice, and all dynasties and generations have defined Maitreya as a cult. But I have the impression that the small iron tower at home also has words similar to the black iron tower in front of me.

As I walked around, I told Team Cao what I knew very little, and Team Cao was even more confused when they heard it. But soon, in front of the four towers, near the concrete wall of the vault, I found a small stone platform three feet square. The stone platform is made of bluestone, and there are some lotus-like patterns on it, which is very ancient, and it should not be a modern thing. There was nothing on the stone platform, but there were traces of burning on it, but it was impossible to tell what it was burning. And on each of the four corners of the stone platform is a burnt candle.

Five steps forward from the stone platform, there is a cement wall rising from the ground, and we carefully inspected the cement wall, and there is no sign of damage. At the junction of the concrete wall and the rocks of the mountain, there is a wooden ladder that falls to the ground. Under the command of the Wang team, several police officers erected the wooden ladder, just to the place where the cement wall meets the rock, and there is a faint black hole in the rock above.

"Often, I reckon this hole is the earliest vent in the vault, and it is from here that thieves enter. "Team Cao was talking to me excitedly, and Team Wang had already climbed up the wooden ladder.

Lao Cai's face looked even more gloomy under the light of the flashlight, and he walked up to me and asked: "Lao Chang, we didn't have these towers and white bones when we came in, what is the purpose of building these towers? It seems that it has nothing to do with stealing gold? And the Maitreya Sect you just talked about is really a harmful cult? Then they built this tower not only for gold? And those white bones, could it be said that Zhang Xianzhong is also a member of the Maitreya Sect?"

Lao Cai asked a long list of questions in one breath, and he could see the anxiety and entanglement in his heart, maybe he was hesitating to tell the secret in his heart now, but I also knew that now was not the time to force him, he was in a hurry, but he had a defensive mentality, and it was best to add a little fire.

"Lao Cai, this Maitreya religion has been around for a long time, about the Northern Wei Dynasty has entered the Central Plains, the Tang Dynasty entered Sichuan and became popular, and later it and Manichaeism, that is, everyone often said Mingjiao, there was a fusion, and gradually had a unique political program. It is ridiculous to say that its purpose is to overthrow the regime, hoping to rule by itself, and they will make waves in each generation of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, and the peasant uprisings instigated by them have been no less than hundreds of times, but unfortunately they have never succeeded. ”

"At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Maitreya was the closest to success, and Han Shantong and Han Lin'er were important figures in Maitreya, who burned incense and gathered people to launch a peasant uprising that swept through China. After Han Lin'er's uprising in the north was suppressed, he sent people under the fence and gave up his position in the church to Zhu Yuanzhang, who was powerful in the south. But Zhu Yuanzhang found an opportunity to get rid of Han Lin'er, and after winning the world, he saw the essence of Maitreya Sect clearly, and soon declared Maitreya Sect a cult and suppressed it, and Maitreya Sect went underground again, and the later **** White Lotus Sect was its branch. ”

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was also a rebel army in Sichuan, which made Maitreya the state religion, and set the capital in Chongqing, the country name was Daxia, and its leader Ming Yuzhen was also a member of Maitreya. As for whether Zhang Xianzhong has anything to do with the Maitreya Sect, it is difficult to say, but from his killing thoughts of collecting people for heaven, it is estimated that it is very related. Up to now, there are still many temples dedicated to Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan. ”

As I spoke, the king had come down from the ladder and shook his head as he spread his hands at us.
