"Don't think I'm so greedy, I came here, it was indeed an accident, before I came here, I didn't know that Tianyan Zhang lived here, but I only saw the relics of the Ranjan Jiang of the Liang Kingdom, and then I remembered the dragon vein of the Liang Kingdom.

And to destroy the dragon vein, there must be some support, so a spirit bone was found, as for whether this spirit bone is the true body relics of the baby mother, now only based on this pair of portraits, it cannot be confirmed. Han Peacock pointed to a large number of portraits of Vajra Haimu that had been turned out.

Some people call Liangzhou Jinganghai Mother Cave Temple "the last temple of the Xixia Kingdom", so what kind of relationship does the Xixia Kingdom have with the temple, those magical legends of gods and Buddhas such as the empty mother, and the temple in the fog of Xixia history, what kind of history has experienced the vicissitudes of life?

"If it is confirmed that this is Tianyan Zhang's residence, and his treasure can be found, I am afraid that it is not only the treasure of Liang Guo, but also the treasure in the King Kong Haimu Cave." Yuan Dun along.

Han Peacock nodded directly, he didn't deny this, so he to: "I'm afraid it's not just the treasures of these two places, but also some things from the Western Xia Kingdom, it can be said that Tianyan Zhang's collection is absolutely exciting and exciting, but it doesn't seem so easy to find a treasure place that a master deliberately hides." ”

Yuan Dun thought for a while and said: "Tibetan Buddhism gradually spread the Hexi Corridor after the occupation of Liang and Zhou by Tubo in the late Tang Dynasty, and after the founding of the Western Xia, with Jinning, Xiayin, and Sichuan as the national capitals, and Liang and Zhou in Hexi as auxiliary capitals, under the promotion of the rulers such as Li Deming and Li Yuanhao, the founders of the Xixia Kingdom of "Young Xiao Buddhism" and "Xiaofu Tuxue", Tibetan Buddhism has been more widely developed in Hexi and other vast Western Xia ruling areas. Eventually, it became the state religion. ”

Han Peacock smiled: "The fate of Xixia and King Kong Hai Mother Temple is not only these, Liang and Zhou's King Kong Hai Mother Cave Temple, Dayun Temple, Ganzhou Big Buddha Temple and other famous temples in Hexi should be built at this time, Qing Dynasty Qianlong 14 years (AD 1749) repaired "Wuwei County Governance" records: Hai Mu Cave, thirty miles south of the city, there are holes on the mountain, several zhang deep, Zhengde four years of repair.

According to this and a large number of unearthed cultural relics to determine, Liang, Zhou Tangshan King Kong Hai Mother Cave Cave should be built in the Xixia Chongzong Zhengde 4 years (AD 1130), and then gradually built a large scale of Buddha Hall and Stupa outside the cave, making King Kong Hai Mother Cave and Temple become 'there is a temple in the cave. The temple has caves' unique Buddhist architecture. It became the temple of the Xixia national teacher. ”

Yuan Dunyi: "This is more interesting, Buddhism is the state religion of the Western Xia Kingdom, and the Vajra Haimu Temple is also the Xizhi Temple of the Western Xia National Teacher, so there are many things recorded in Tibetan historical materials." Is it possible that it is true?

Then. The body of Vajrayogini is in the cave. There is a Buddhist hall at the entrance of the cave; On the right, there is a clay statue of Shakyamuni about one person high, which contains the body of a butcher; On the left are Vajrayogini and Tara statues. ”

Han Peacock said meaningfully: "Such a famous temple must have a dragon and a spirit." If there is no dragon, then it will not become a famous temple, since it is famous, there must be its reason, according to historical records, after the King Kong Haimu Temple suffered several fires, in the Qing Yongzheng period carried out a large-scale restoration fù reconstruction, and the Republic of China suffered two earthquakes.

In particular, in 1927, the eight-magnitude earthquake destroyed the temple tower, and the entire Vajra Haimu Cave was also buried underground.

In the 90s of the last century, after the opening of the Vajra Haimu Cave Temple, the Buddha Hall was built at the foot of the winding mountain, and then on the hill above the cave, the Wufang Buddha Mother Hall and the Vajra Haimu Relic Pagoda were newly built, and the buildings such as the Zunsheng Pagoda were also built on the mountain opposite the cave. ”

Yuan Dunyi sighed and said: "Where there are good things, it is naturally full of disasters and difficulties, and it is really hard to say that there have been so many changes and some accidents." ”

Han Peacock said: "Have you heard of the founding of Great Xia, the western soil, and the Liang auxiliary county, which has been a hundred years, this sentence?" As long as you know this sentence, you will no longer be amazed that there are so many precious historical relics of Western Xia that can be unearthed in the cave of King Kong Haimu Cave.

It is no exaggeration to say that because of the cause of Buddhism, the Jinganghai Mudong Temple became a very important meeting place of Tangut culture, Tibetan culture and Han culture in the Liang and Zhou regions during the Tangut period. ”

In 1989, when the cultural relics department cleaned up the No. 1 cave of Vajra Haimu, it successively found a large number of national first-class cultural relics, including precious Buddhist scriptures, accounting documents of Western Xia, lists of items, murals, various thangkas of Tibetan Buddhism, stone statues, clay statues, double fish pond paintings of Western Xia, silk fabrics, porcelain pots, etc.

Among the Buddhist scriptures unearthed, there is a sutra printed with ancient clay movable type, which shocked the Chinese and foreign academic circles, and that is the "Vimalaya Sutra".

Academics say that the excavation of the "Vimala Sutra" has witnessed that China is the first country in the world to use clay movable type printing, which is more surprising than the Xixia bronze cannon unearthed in Liangzhou in 1980, which advanced the casting history of China's metal tubular firearms by more than a century. ”

"The Vimalaya Sutra? Why? I don't think you're bringing this up for no reason, are you? Yuan Dun was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately asked.

Han Peacock said: "Speaking of the Vimala Sutra is completely accidental, I accidentally got a page of Buddhist scriptures, the content is, as I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in the garden of the Buddha in Viyali Nunnery, with 8,000 great bhikshus, 32,000 Bodhisattvas, and everyone knew it. Great wisdom is all accomplished. The place where the Buddhas and gods are established is the city of protecting the Dharma and receiving the Dharma; can be a master roaring, famous in all directions.

The content of a page is very small, but it is all written in gold clay, it is an authentic golden clay sutra, and later I checked it, this should be from the "Vimala Sutra", and this page of handwritten gold clay sutra is not much different from the "Vimala Sutra" found in the first cave of Vajrayogini. ”

"The Golden Clay Sutra? Are you sure it's a sutra written in gold clay? "Yuan Dun along.

Han Peacock said: "Of course, it's inconvenient to carry things on your body, so I can't show it to you now, but I still won't admit the Buddhist scriptures written in gold clay." ”

"If you really pick up the pages of the Golden Clay Sutra, then I can confirm that Tianyan Zhang does have a Golden Clay Sutra in his hand." Yuan Dun along.

"Can you confirm it? In this way, it will not be wrong, Zhao Tuo's tomb is not accessible to ordinary people, if it is Tianyan Zhang, then there is no doubt. Han Peacock said.

Yuan Dun said: "You found that page of the Golden Clay Sutra in Zhao Tuo's tomb?" ”

Han Peacock nodded and said, "Yes, by now, you should understand that if Zhao Tuo's tomb is not necessary, it is better not to break in." ”

"It is unlikely that Tianyan Zhang deliberately lost a page of the Golden Clay Sutra, so there is only one possibility, that is, there was an accident, even he may have an accident in Zhao Tuo's tomb, so the danger there is still above our imagination." Yuan Dunyi was a little disappointed.

Han Peacock also thought of another possibility, so he said: "Do you say that it is possible for Tianyan Zhang to hide all his life's collection in Zhao Tuo's tomb?" ”

Yuan Dunyi smiled bitterly: "If you don't have this kind of thought, why don't we keep negotiating with you?" ”

Han Peacock thought of the lot of price that Yangcheng had paid in order to cooperate with him, and immediately realized that there was really no free lunch in this world.

"How did you know that Tianyan Zhang had the Golden Clay Sutra in his hand?" Han Peacock asked.

Yuan Dun said: "This shouldn't be wrong, as long as the Golden Clay Sutra appears in Zhao Tuo's tomb, then at least it means that Tianyan has entered Zhao Tuo's tomb, you must know that the Golden Clay Sutra is not so easy to obtain."

I vaguely remember that about 20 years ago, in a herdsman's house in Qinghai and Hai provinces of China, more than a dozen pages of Lamaist scriptures written in gold clay were found.

However, people do not know that in 1992, in the Chinese bookstore of Liulichang in the capital, there were several well-preserved scriptures written in gold clay, the number of which was almost as thick as one foot.

That year, I lived very close to a large bookstore in Liulichang, so during my lunch break, I often went to the bookstore to browse ancient books, and because I often went, I knew the clerk of the bookstore's internal service department very well, and became a good friend with Mr. Ma there. ”

In the summer of that year, Yuan Dun once went to the internal service department of the bookstore, and as soon as he entered the door, Mr. Ma eagerly said to Yuan Dun: "I haven't seen you for a while, where have you been?" I have a 'good book' here, and I wanted you to buy it, and I kept it for a while, but I never saw you, and then I sold it. ”

Speaking of this, Mr. Ma showed regret and disgust, and Mr. Ma said: "That book is so precious!" ”

"What a good baby? So excited you? Yuan Dunyi showed a curious look.

Mr. Ma said, "You sit down, let's talk slowly." ”

After taking his seat, Mr. Ma said excitedly: "There are several Buddhist scriptures written in gold clay. There's a stack that's nearly a foot thick! ”

According to Mr. Ma, the Buddhist scriptures written in gold clay were found in the large library of the bookstore, and they were very beautifully framed, all of which were framed on silk paper, which looked like "the style of the emperor's family".

Mr. Ma described the contents of the scriptures in detail, and I now clearly remember that it was the "Sutra of Vimalaya", and the age of the scriptures, according to Mr. Ma's estimates, should have been written by the court of the Song Dynasty or the prince's family at the latest. Because, the average person can't afford to write.

Mr. Ma said that after discovering them, he once presented them to the president of the Buddhist Association, who inscribed the words "Treasure of Zhenguan" in the blank space of the scriptures.

He also petitioned the vice president and secretary general of the Buddhist Association and the director of the Institute of Buddhist Culture to pass the eye, and also inscribed the words "a national treasure that has not been born for hundreds of years" in the blank space of the scroll.

As for the source of these scriptures, Mr. Ma speculated that they should have been confiscated during the raid of the temples of the reactionary sect after liberation. (To be continued......)
