"Animal Dao, isn't that the six realms of reincarnation?" Zhang Meng stopped, then looked at the fat man, grabbed the handrail and looked down the spiral staircase, pointed to the hideous-looking and big-bellied little ghost statues and said, "This is the Hungry Ghost Road?" ”

"Well, the six realms of reincarnation are the Heavenly Dao, the Shura Dao, the Human Dao, the Animal Dao, and the Hungry Ghost Dao." The fat man counted carefully: "If you guess correctly, there should be a hell road under this pagoda." ”

"If it's the six realms of reincarnation in Buddhist teachings, that makes sense." Zhang Meng thought about it for a while, and said with some doubts: "But since it is the six realms of reincarnation, why do we only see the hungry ghost path and the beast path, and the other paths?" ”

"Who knows." The fat man thought for a while and said, "But then again, the six realms of reincarnation are independent of each other, maybe there are only three realms here." ”

"But the thangkas I've seen before have all six reincarnations painted on a Buddha statue." Zhang Meng remembered a business he received in Shuiyuexuan in his early years, and because he didn't know much about Buddhism at that time, he didn't accept the golden thangka.

"Maybe there's something else here, but not necessarily." The fat man thought for a moment and said.

Zhang Meng shook his head and did not continue the discussion, but continued to walk down with the fat man.

In fact, in Zhang Meng's heart, he was not surprised by the appearance of this pagoda, as mentioned before, the peak of civilization in the Western Regions was the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, and Buddhism was transmitted from the Western Regions to the Middle Earth in these two dynasties, and since then it has occupied the traditional position of Taoism in China. From the Dunhuang Grottoes and other ancient buildings that have been discovered, traces of stupas have been found, but what does the stupa have to do with the mysterious Lop Nur? Why did Ye Jiu, who found here, disappear, this is what Zhang Meng really can't guess.

Zhang Meng didn't have much heart to care about the pagoda and the six realms of reincarnation, but for the sake of Ye Jiu, Zhang Meng still carefully observed every scene around him with the fat man.

The third layer under the spiral staircase is just as Zhang Meng and the fat man guessed, and it is indeed a hideous devil statue, these devils not only have a hideous image, but the scene is more bloody than the beast road, some ghosts are cutting people with hacksaws, some ghosts are disemboweling people, and some ghosts are digging people's chests open and taking out bloody hearts......

The use of these statues is very evil, either blue, or red, white, and the carving technique is very realistic, which will always make people feel like they are in the situation, Zhang Meng and the fat man are even more furious, and speed up and go down.

But the further down they went, the faster their hearts beat and they always felt that these statues didn't look like fakes.

"Zhang Lackinge, fat man, I think something is wrong." The fat man gasped.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Meng pretended to be calm and said.

"I just feel like these things aren't dead, they're alive." The fat man looked around sneakily.

"How is that possible!" Although Zhang Meng also felt this way, he didn't say it directly.

"I'm slot, what did you forget about that, did the Kansai draw yin people?" The fat man turned off the flashlight suddenly, and then leaned into Zhang Meng's ear and whispered: "Isn't that old thing just painting the things on the mural?" ”

Although Zhang Meng couldn't guess what means the painter used at that time to resurrect the things on the mural, the iron-clad facts could not be ignored by Zhang Meng. Zhang Meng looked around with palpitations: "Can't! That's a master of seven mountains and eight sects, and he won't come to this Western Regions, right? Aren't the seven mountains and eight gates handed down from the Ming Dynasty? Could it be that the Han Dynasty existed? ”

"How do you know this is a Han Dynasty pagoda?" The fat man asked Zhang Meng rhetorically.

"This ......" Zhang Meng was stunned, and immediately secretly said that his conclusion was too early, the fat man was right, the pagoda was not only the Han Dynasty, but also the Tang Dynasty: "Is it the Tang Dynasty pagoda?" ”

"Nope." The fat man thought for a while and said, "Although I said that this is not a Han Dynasty pagoda, it is certainly not a Tang Dynasty pagoda." ”

"Why?"

"It's simple." The fat man said: "When I went to the rivers and lakes with Lai Zi, I stole a Tang Dynasty pagoda, and I did a lot of material preparation at that time, and I found that most of the documents in the Tang Dynasty pagoda must have been written in Uighur script, do you understand Uighur language?" ”

"You know, the Uighurs are the Uighurs, the ethnic minorities in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty." Zhang Meng nodded.

"Yes. But this stupa, whether it is from the four vajras, the three bodhisattvas, or the animal path, ? There is obviously no trace of Uighur script, and I seem to have seen a few characters in the Uighur script. The fat man said with a frown.

"Lu Wen, isn't that a Loulan document?"

"That's right, but looking at the font style, it should be the simplest characters, so I guess it's probably early." The fat man said.

"If it is early, then it should correspond to our Central Plains Dynasty ......" Zhang Meng thought carefully.

"Sengoku." The fat man reported it in one go.

"Isn't that BC?" Zhang Meng was stunned, and secretly sighed in his heart that the pagoda here was hundreds of years earlier than the Xiaowan ruins.

Just as the two were talking, the feeling of the cold wind just now began to appear behind the two of them again, and the two of them shivered involuntarily. Zhang Meng stepped back and whispered to the fat man: "It's not good, it seems that you are right, this tower is weird, let's go down quickly." ”

"Hmm."

After the two of them finished speaking, they turned on their flashlights, back to back, and began to walk quickly down the spiral staircase, but the more they walked, the more they felt that they couldn't get out of the hideous statues around them. It's as if no matter how the two of them go, it's like they're constantly winding on a spiral staircase. In the end, Zhang Meng and the fat man simply made a mark and walked down, but even so, they still did not walk through the hungry ghost road in front of them in the process of walking down, and for a while, the two of them seemed to have embarked on a road that would never end.

The anxious mood gradually made the footsteps of the two of them begin to be a little flustered, as if they could no longer walk.

Just when the two of them were already a little at a loss, I don't know who it was, and suddenly recited a Buddha name: "Amitabha." With the sound of the Buddha's horn, the chaotic minds of the two people seemed to regain their calm in an instant, and the statues of hungry ghosts flashing in their eyes just now returned to normal, and for a while, the two of them returned to the second spiral staircase.

This sudden Buddha horn not only rescued the two from danger, but also made Zhang Meng and the fat man puzzled.

The two of them secretly looked around and found that there was nothing unusual around. Inside the bare stupa, apart from the statues of wild beasts and devils, there are only three statues of Bodhisattvas left.

Just when Zhang Meng's eyes swept over the Bodhisattva statue and was about to look at other places, he found that the fat man dragged himself stiffly, then stared at the little eyeballs, opened his mouth and said, "That's ...... That...... The Bodhisattva spoke! ”
