"Damn, I didn't expect Ouyang and Big Na to be really not the same thing, and they would come with us." The fat man pouted his ass and crawled into the tomb, while cursing Ouyang and Lady Na.

Zhang Meng ignored the fat man's nonsense, but carefully observed the surrounding terrain, and after confirming that it was correct, his brows wrinkled unnaturally a few times.

Seeing Zhang Meng's expression, the fat man hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Look at the tomb road we are walking now, is it different from the previous tomb road?" Zhang Meng said.

After listening to Zhang Meng's words, the fat man took a closer look and nodded: "That's right, this place really doesn't look like a tomb." ”

"And what kind of passage is this?" Zhang Meng grabbed the soil on the wall next to him, and found that it was okay if he didn't look at it carefully, as long as he looked carefully, he would find that the soil was red.

"Is this blood?"

"No, there is no fishy smell. You sniff it. Saying that, Zhang Meng handed the soil in his hand to the fat man.

The fat man leaned under his nose and sniffed: "It's not really the smell of blood, it's more like paint." ”

"Paint?" Zhang Meng glanced around a few more times, with a slight suspicion in his eyes: "If this is not a tomb, then it is not a tomb, it should be like Xiaowan Ruins and Thousand-Eyed Gobi, which are all places of interest buried by wind and sand, but ......"

"But what?" The fat man asked.

"I just can't figure it out." Zhang Meng shook his head: "According to past experience, it seems that Captain Jin's dragon search point is only useful for the tomb. If this is not a tomb, then how did Ouyang find it? ”

"The means of touching Captain Jin can not only find the tomb, but also find the zongzi." The fat man thought for a while and said, "Maybe the corpse qi here is very strong, so it will be captured by the compass." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Meng nodded, the fat man guessed correctly.

The two men walked forward as they spoke. Soon passed through the passage that was just half a man high, and then came to a strange stone gate. Before the two of them could figure out how to open the stone door, they were startled by the strange patterns carved on the stone door.

Although this stone door has been buried in the sand for some years, the pattern carved on it is exceptionally clear, and it has not been baptized by the years at all.

Although the carving is rough and informal, it also contains a touch of softness. In addition, the paint applied to it is unusually bright, which gives people a very strange feeling. Zhang Meng found that the pattern on the stone door did not look like a person, but more like four strange-looking hellish ghosts.

These four demons have green faces and fangs, holding weapons, and they are more ferocious than people, as if they want to devour all the enemies who come to invade.

"What the fuck is this?" The fat man said with wide eyes.

"I don't know." Zhang Meng shook his head puzzled, and then said to himself: "I don't think this is like a ghost in hell, but more like the door gods Chi Gong and Qin Qiong in folklore." ”

"Door God?" The fat man was stunned, as if he remembered something, and then there was another smirk.

Seeing the fat man smirking, Zhang Meng said puzzledly: "Fat man, what are you smirking at?" ”

"Damn!" The fat man said proudly: "Fat man, I finally see the doorway here." ”

"What's the truth?" Zhang Meng asked.

"Remember when you came down and saw the reddish paint in the soil?" The fat man said.

"Hmm." Zhang Meng nodded.

"I don't think this place is really a tomb." The fat man smacked his lips.

"What's that?"

Facing Zhang Meng's questioning gaze, the fat man deliberately pointed to the pattern on the door and laughed: "Hmph! These four things are the Four Heavenly Kings! And the place in front of me is probably a floating tower buried in yellow sand. ”

"The so-called floating pagoda is a pagoda." The fat man excitedly pointed to the two stone doors and said: "These four guys with teeth and claws must be the Buddhist Dharma Protector King Kong, you see the weapons they hold in their hands, respectively, the sword, the pipa, the umbrella, and the snake, that is the prototype of the four heavenly kings in the "Fengshen List". There is also the passage we just came down from, and at first glance it is the back door of the pagoda and something. In addition, the pigments are better explained, only Buddhism likes to paint the whole temple and stupa with the color of red and rhubarb, you see that the clothes of those monks are not all yellow or red. Damn it! I didn't expect us to climb into the pagoda, I don't know if there are any relics of high monks here, if there is, we can make a windfall again, haha! ”

Ignoring the fat man's words, Zhang Meng lowered his eyebrows and thought about it.

Zhang Meng did not study Buddhism deeply, and if he wanted to say that he knew, he had only come into contact with the secrets of the Mongolian national teacher in the tomb of Genghis Khan, but he had never really come into contact with Buddhism. In particular, the Buddhist tradition is complex, with hundreds of branches, large and small, and it is difficult to sort out the clues.

"Why do you think that?" Zhang Meng looked back at the fat man and said.

"Nonsense, what kind of place is this? The Western Regions! The fat man looked at Zhang Meng with a disdainful expression: "You are so stupid, the Western Regions are not our Central Plains, there is Taoism or something in the Central Plains, isn't Buddhism what the people of the Western Regions worship the most?" ”

Zhang Meng nodded silently.

However, there should be no big problem with the fat man's speculation, everyone knows that Buddhism was introduced to China at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and this Western Regions is a necessary place for Buddhist propaganda. Therefore, in many of the ancient city ruins that have been discovered, there are shadows of Buddhism. Therefore, it is not surprising that a stupa was found in the Taklamakan Desert. After all, the Dunhuang grottoes, which are more brilliant and grander than this, have been excavated by the archaeological team.

The fat man didn't care about Zhang Meng, and when Zhang Meng wasn't paying attention, he slammed forward and slammed open the stone door in front of him.

Zhang Meng wanted to stop the fat man, but it was too late when he found out. However, Zhang Meng obviously didn't expect this stone door to be pushed open so easily. Seeing that there were rust stains falling off in the cracks of the stone door, Zhang Meng picked it up and twisted it with his fingers, and said with a smile: "It seems that Ouyang and Lady Na entered from here, and the door was pried open." ”

"Damn, I thought it was the fat man who relied on his strength to break it open, but I didn't expect it to be pried open by them a long time ago." The fat man patted the sand on his palms and followed Zhang Meng to continue walking.

As the two had thought, this is not a simple tomb, and certainly not the kind of large tomb built on the natural terrain. On the contrary, it is more like the Xiaowan ruins, but it is more concise than the Xiaowan ruins, because after the stone door is opened, everyone walks into the platform layer by layer.

The place where Zhang Meng and the fat man came in should be a basement, and in addition to many strange Buddha statues around, there are also stairs that extend downward.

It seems that this is indeed a stupa, but it is more like an upside-down stupa!
