Chapter 33: The Blue and White Religion

I stood up, and at this time, Luo Dascar handed over a strip of rags, which was stinking, I frowned, and said, "What to do?" It stinks, take it away. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Luo Da Scar snorted and said, "It stinks, if it wasn't for it just now, you would still be asleep." This cloth strip wiped the medicine in Mr. Yang's box, and it stinks, but it works, you just get used to it. ”

I saw that everyone present had such strips of cloth tied to their noses, believing that it was used to prevent the hallucinatory "anti-theft equipment", so in order not to be hit again, I forcibly endured the nausea in my heart and tied the strip of cloth in front of my nose. Although I was mentally prepared, the smell still made my throat rattle and I almost vomited.

Luo Dascar gloated beside him, I glared at him, followed Professor Jia and Yang You, and walked towards the underground palace not far away. However, the more he walked, he felt that his mouth became more and more bitter, so he turned his head and asked Luo Dascar: "Why is my mouth so bitter, what did you take for me to eat?" ”

"You just yelled, and we were afraid of attracting something, so we took off your clothes and stuffed them into your mouth...... Alas, it's not me, it's Mr. Yang! Luo Dascar dodged my kick and hurriedly cleared the way.

My clothes were dirty, and even more disgusting was that they were stained with the blood of the monster in the underground lake, and I didn't know if it was poisonous. I glanced at Yang You, and I didn't bother with Luo Da Scar, and walked towards the square.

This square should be extremely wide in my memory, but as soon as I walked in, I didn't go far before I arrived at the door of the underground palace. Could it be that my previous feelings were all caused by the hallucinations caused by the trap?

The dungeon is tall and magnificent, which is in line with the previous feeling, and the wall in front of the gate is engraved with the same words and patterns as the previous tomb wall in the burial chamber, and the colors are bright, and there are also pictures of battles and sacrifices, all of which are vivid. It's just that the underground palace doesn't have a gate, which is unexpected by everyone. However, it is a tragedy that everyone has gone through a catastrophe to get here, because they cannot break the door without tools.

This is the final sleeping place of Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, and the mechanism inside is also the most powerful, although the door is wide open, but everyone does not dare to enter, Professor Jia threw a few fire folds into it. We saw that the space inside was huge, and the light of the fire fold could not see all the inside of the underground palace. But I was stunned, and vaguely, I remembered that the layout of the underground palace when I fell into the hallucination was the same as what I saw in front of me.

In order to understand this feeling, my body passed Professor Jia and Yang You before my brain could think, and walked in first.

Everyone was stunned at the same time, and Luo Dascar hurriedly said: "Huang Shang, what's wrong with you, damn it, did you hallucinate again?" Wake up. "As he spoke, he rushed to arrest me.

I waved my hand at him and said, "I'm fine, the layout in this dungeon, I've seen it in my hallucinations, there should be no traps." "Saying that my people have entered the underground palace, Yang You glanced at me from behind and walked in, Professor Jia frowned, and he didn't know what he was thinking, until Luo Dascar and the others entered, he followed in.

Sure enough, as I saw in my hallucination, the floor of the underground palace was paved with white marble as floor tiles, and after thousands of years, there was not a trace of dust, and a vague figure could be reflected in the light of the torches, and after walking for a short time, I saw a stone bridge spanning the pool.

I stood by the bridge and saw that this must be a pool arranged according to the palace of the king of Nanyue during his lifetime, no more than half a meter deep, and the water in it may not have been there in the first place, or maybe the thousand-year-old annual ring change had already turned it into steam and scattered all over the ancient tomb.

"This is the stone bridge I saw in my hallucinations, I ran here, and just as I was about to run up, I was hugged by a dry corpse." I said to the people.

Professor Jia walked to the front of the stone bridge, looked at it, and said, "The coffin of the King of Nanyue must be behind this stone bridge, but the thing that makes people hallucinate is so powerful that it can even simulate the scene, but I am afraid that it has become a demon." ”

The words made everyone's hearts burst out, and suddenly there was an inexplicable fear of the dark place behind the stone bridge, could it be that behind the stone bridge, there was really such a powerful monster hidden, specially guarding the coffin of the king of Nanyue, would it swallow the people who approached it.

The fear of the unknown is much greater than the mental pressure generated by the physical terror, and when everyone was hesitating in the face of the stone bridge, Professor Jia took the lead, holding a torch in his hand, and walked up.

Yang You looked at Professor Jia's back and walked up, leaving me and Luo Dascar and Mango Head looking at each other, and the foreigner Laidi was lying on Luo Dascar's back, unable to call the shots.

"Let's go, it's all here, it's a big deal to die." I gritted my teeth and chased Yang You's back and walked up. I don't need to look back, Luo Dascar and Mango Head naturally followed.

It's just that when I just walked on the stone bridge and didn't go down, everyone standing on the bridge was stunned. Before I stepped on the top of the bridge, I imagined countless scenes that I would see under the bridge, such as a huge monster, or a thousand-year-old zombie, or even a thousand-year-old ghost that disappeared without a trace, but I never imagined that there would be three Buddha statues standing behind the bridge.

Three, huge, almost touching the top of the underground palace Buddha statues.

The light of the three simple torches could not see all the Buddha statues, but looking at the three Buddha statues, my heart was flooded with a feeling of déjà vu, and suddenly a spirit reminded me of the tomb I entered after stealing my life from the pit along the thief hole dug by Yang You, and the same three Buddha statues were placed in the middle.

My guess at the time was that Buddhism was first introduced to the Lingnan region from India by sea, hundreds of years before the Central Plains, and that the spread of Buddhism in China came to an abrupt halt due to the invasion of the Nanyue kings. In fact, now that I think about it, there is a contradiction here, if the king of Nanyue, who had never seen Buddhism, entered the Lingnan region and destroyed it as the faith of the Baiyue people, then why did he put the Buddha statue in his tomb? It doesn't make sense either.

I looked at Professor Jia, hoping that he would answer the question in my mind. Who knew that he was looking up at the three Buddha statues intently, and the firelight was flickering and bright, and he couldn't see his expression. I turned my head to look at Yang You again, hoping to find the answer from her, but she was also like Professor Jia, patronizing and looking at the three huge Buddha statues, ignoring my inquisitive eyes.

"Damn, how can there be a Buddha statue in the tomb, this is too unreasonable! This is Guanyin, and this one, Maitreya Buddha? What is that? Luo Dascar put down the foreigner Leddy who was carrying him on his back and said the doubts in my heart.

But at this time, I saw Yang You and Professor Jia looking at Luo Dascar at the same time, and then glanced at each other as if they felt something, and then turned their heads to observe the three huge Buddha statues again. Although their movements were only for a moment, I saw them all, and I was not stupid, and I vaguely guessed that they must know something, after all, they were "professionals".

Since they didn't open their mouths, I didn't break it, but I deliberately said to Luo Dascar: "Do you have common sense, the one in the middle is Guanyin, but the one on the left is Amitabha, and the one on the right is Manjushri Bodhisattva......"

Before I finished speaking, Professor Jia smiled and said, "Brother Huang, the one on the right is not Manjushri Bodhisattva, it is the general trend, and these three Buddha statues are collectively called the Three Sages of Mida." ”

Luo Dascar scratched the back of his head and said, "It doesn't matter what kind of three saints or three gods they are, this gloomy tomb is full of ghosts, what is it to put the Buddha statue here?" Could it be that the old boy of the king of Nanyue did a lot of sins in his life, and after he died, he planned to let the Buddha surpass him, so that he could ascend to bliss as soon as possible? ”

Professor Jia listened to Luo Dascar's words, smiled and stopped talking, and he didn't know if he didn't know or pretended not to know, with a mysterious face. I turned my head to look at Yang You, but found that she was staring at Professor Jia, and when I saw me looking at her, she looked back at me.

To be honest, I was in a panic, Professor Jia knew something, but they didn't say it, which made us anxious. But when I think about who they are, maybe they never saw us as their own, after all, we are not all the way with them. The top priority is to find a way out, as long as we find a way out, who cares why these Buddha statues are here, I am not a student of archaeology, and I am not interested in understanding.

Thinking of this, I said to Luo Dascar: "Can't the king of Nanyue put the Buddha statue in the tomb to block ghosts?" I guess he did a lot of sins, so he invited the gods and Buddhas to bless him after he died, and prevented those unjust souls who died because of him from taking revenge. ”

After saying this, I looked at Professor Jia out of the corner of my eye, and found that he still had an unfathomable smile on his face, and he did not agree or refute.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the head of the mango say, "Look, what is this?" This pattern is so strange. ”

I saw the mango head standing at the base of the Buddha statue in the middle, pointing to a pattern and asking. I walked over and saw through the light of the torches, and the feeling that rose in my heart was also very strange.

The pattern depicts a tall man standing on a huge blue flower, pointing to the sky with one hand, while some of them, who are supposed to be believers, are kneeling before him reverently and prostrating.

It is said that what this pattern wants to express must be the worship of a certain person by believers, almost to the status of gods and Buddhas. However, the person in the pattern turned out to be legless, and it was connected with the huge blue and white flower, and it was vividly depicted. It is not so much that he is standing on the blue flower, but that it is like a derivative of the blue flower.

Originally, it was possible that this depiction was intended to use exaggerated techniques to express the strength of faith, or the strong worship of faith, but this picture and the Buddha appeared at the same time in the tomb of a prince and general, which is very abrupt. Throughout history, the rulers of any era have always demonstrated their greatness during their lifetimes and praised their great achievements after their deaths, especially in their mausoleums.

If I had to put all this together, the only thing I could think of was that the king of Nanyue was not only the king of a country, but also the leader of a certain faith, and he really couldn't explain this strange phenomenon.

I looked along the side of the pattern again, and saw some text engraved next to the picture, I believe it is an explanation of the pattern, but these words are more like small patterns to me, I don't understand it.

"This is the Pope and Doctrine of the Blue and White Sect!" I don't know when, Yang You came to my side, looked at the words like patterns and said.

"Blue and White Sect!"

It was the first time I'd ever heard this name in my life, but I never dreamed that the name of this religion would stay with me for the rest of my life.

Yang You turned his head to look at me and said, "You've never heard of this name?" ”

I nodded and said, "I've heard of Buddhism and Taoism, but I haven't heard of a blue and white religion, is this domestic or foreign?" Could it be that the king of Nanyue is still a member of this Qinghua Sect? ”

Yang You shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about this, but the Blue and White Sect has been inherited for a long time, almost thousands of years, and the Pure Land Sect from Buddhism has appeared in a variety of forms in history. The Pope and teachings of the Blue and White Sect can appear in the tomb of the King of Nanyue, even if he is not a member of the Blue and White Sect, I am afraid that it will not be able to get rid of the Blue and White Sect. ”

I continued to look at these words, only to feel that every word seemed to tell a piece of history, and suddenly it occurred to me, could it be that this king of Nanyue was a high-level figure such as the leader of this Qinghua Sect? In this way, it can be explained why there are Buddha statues and the motifs depicted on the base of the Buddha in the tomb, and it is not uncommon for there to be a combination of politics and religion in history.

"Uncle, there seems to be a road behind the Buddha statue, I don't know where it leads." While I was frowning and looking at the images and texts, the mango head who was holding a torch for me next to me looked at the other side of the base of the Buddha statue and exclaimed.

I suddenly remembered the high platform where the coffin of the king of Nanyue was stored in my hallucination, and I didn't know if it was behind the Buddha statue, but I saw Professor Jia holding a torch first and walking towards the path behind the Buddha statue.

It is said that it is a path, but in fact, it is just a white marble floor tile, and then some fine gemstones, or some ores and other stones, under the light of the torch, can reflect a faint green light, in the darkness has been stretched to the depths of the underground palace.

The people walked for a while, but they found that on both sides of the path there were suddenly more symmetrical stone pillars, not high, but only to the chest of the man, and the top of the pillar was like a groove, and by the light of the torch, I saw that the groove was full of black plaster, and I did not know anything.

Professor Jia walked to the stone pillar in front of him and looked at it, and said, "This is the ever-bright lamp, and the black plaster in it should be fuel, but it's just ......" Speaking of this, he frowned slightly, took out a knife that he didn't know where to hide, dug out a little of the plaster in the groove, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, but his face changed slightly.

I walked and asked, "Professor, what's wrong?" Something wrong with these things? ”

Professor Jia's face was still solemn, and he didn't know what he was muttering, so he suddenly stared at the front of the path and said, "No, is it ...... It's going to be here......" he said, and he walked forward again.

Everyone didn't know why, I looked at Yang You, she shook her head slightly, obviously I didn't know what Professor Jia had found. In this way, I can only bite the bullet and continue to walk forward with Professor Jia, the closer I get to the end of the mystery, the more panicked I become. Suddenly, everyone in the walking group was stunned at the same time.
