Chapter 715 is solemn
"Profiteers!" Rao is a kind pure girl like Xiaolongxin, and after seeing the merchant's obscene face, she couldn't help but whisper, but it made Luo Ping and Anna laugh.
This merchant is indeed a bit obscene, but it can be regarded as a real villain, and after laughing, Luo Ping still asked the other party to wait here, of course, provided that he paid some deposits first.
After sorting out the equipment, Luo Ping took a flashlight and went directly up the mountain, although there is a sunrise now, but because this is the back mountain, the whole mountain is shrouded in a layer of fog, and the grass and trees on both sides of the road are full of dewdrops, where everyone passes, the ground is wet, like a rain.
Although the Adantun Grottoes are a group of grottoes, but because they are in the middle of the cliff, they are very hidden, the reason why this grotto was discovered in legend is that some British royal nobles were hunting nearby, chasing prey accidentally strayed here, and then found this natural treasure trove of art, of course, for Indians, this is undoubtedly a very unfortunate news, because they are governed.
Buddhism was born in India in the 5th century B.C., when it was very prosperous, and the people who entered the religion were said to be able to ten **, Buddhism mainly preached the equality of all people, against the caste system, it is precisely because of this that the later rulers felt that this was not conducive to their management, so they created another sect, called Hinduism, Hinduism rendered that the status of people is determined by the previous life (reincarnation theory), which is in line with the wishes of the ruling class, so Buddhism was quickly replaced, It is now a large part of the religion in India, and it is also a fairly large sect in the whole Shijie, second only to Christianity and Islam.
It is precisely because of the decline of Buddhism that the local government is actually not very concerned about such a treasure trove, and when the British discovered it, if it were not for the limited transportation capacity, it was estimated that it would have been given to the general and empty.
The crowd walked all the way on the rugged path, and finally came to a cliff when the sun was all revealed. In front of them was a huge statue of Buddha.
The Buddha statue may be in disrepair or simply not careful, so that the body is full of some tenacious weeds, but the tall body and deep stone eyes are so strong, Luo Ping opened his mouth slightly, looking at such a Buddha statue full of vicissitudes and solemnity in front of him, he suddenly thought of one of the most famous monks in China - Xuanzang.
Luo Ping doesn't know if this master Xuanzang came here back then, but judging from Master Xuanzang's later account of returning to China, he has at least been to Mumbai, which was still a small fishing village at that time (Mumbai was later formed after the British reclamation movement to link an island together). You may not know that a foreign scholar who has traveled through mountains and rivers has come here to worship.
Compared with the determined Master Xuanzang, Luo Ping was obviously lucky to have the opportunity to see such a Buddhist holy place with his own eyes.
"I took a look at the sky just now, and I found that there were no imports around."
Xiaolongxin is a Taoist sect, and she is born without love for Buddhism, so when Luo Ping and Anna were watching with relish, she flew directly into the sky to check the surrounding way out, and found that they were trapped in a valley, and there was only one way out when they went up the mountain.
"No way, there must be a way out here, the people who built this grotto back then would never be so stupid as not to leave a way back for themselves, let's look carefully." Luo Ping suddenly remembered the Dunhuang Grottoes back then, which were also in a period of national turmoil, the same Buddhist ceremonies, and even the fate suffered was very similar, which really made him sigh, is this the legendary fate?
With a look of emotion, everyone began to walk towards the surrounding cliffs, but they were not able to find the real entrance until noon, and what is even more annoying is that the cliffs here are very smooth, coupled with the torrential rain a few days ago, it is very difficult to climb, and although the entire cliff is not a thousand feet, it is not the current strength of the dragon heart to be able to leap over.
"Let's go to the Buddha statue and have a look." After the three of them ate dry food, Luo Ping proposed to go to the Buddha statue over there, hoping to find a clue there.
"2nd century AD, frescoes!"
Just as Luo Ping was approaching the Buddha statue, Pixiu, who had been silent for a long time, finally shook in his chest again, and also reported the detected cultural relics.
"There's no hole in here!" Luo Ping clenched his fists excitedly, pinched Anna's face and said, "Let's go, let's go inside and have a look, it will surprise you." ”
Anna rarely saw Luo Ping so excited, smiled and walked towards the Buddha statue with a dragon heart, she wanted to know what would be in it to make Luo Ping, who had seen the world, so excited.
Picking up the artemisia grass that was several people high, and flowing through the swamp without calves, the three of them finally walked under the Buddha statue. From a distance, I feel that this Buddha statue is solemn, tall and solemn, and after approaching, I feel that I am as small as an ant standing at its feet.
"Knock knock!"
Luo Ping knocked on the belly of the Buddha statue, and there was an echo inside, and he suddenly laughed: "It is said that the prime minister can hold a boat in his belly, but I don't know if this Buddha can run a horse in his belly." ”
Anna was stunned for a moment, and quickly gave a thumbs up, in such a place, who would have thought that the only entrance was actually in the belly of this Buddha statue.
After Luo Ping walked along the belly of the Buddha statue, he found that at the sole of the left foot of the Buddha statue, he could feel that the aura of cultural relics was stronger, so he cut off the weeds in front of him and walked inside.
His guess was correct, and after walking forward twenty meters while clearing the weeds, he saw a dark cave, which was quite cleverly designed, and from a distance it looked right under the skirt of the Buddha, and the Buddha was both male and female, so who would run in and find out?
After Long Xin saw that the entrance of the cave was here, his little face was slightly red, thinking that Buddhism was really vulgar, and he actually used this method to hide the entrance, which was really a bit defiled by the Buddha, or our Taoist temple, just need to hang the ancestor on the wall.
Anna didn't think much about it, out of instinct, she first threw a cold burning stick into the cave, and after finding that there was no poisonous gas in it, she nodded to Luo Ping and walked inside together.
This hole is flattened, like a toad's mouth, looking at the wide mouth on both sides of it has traces of axe chisel, presumably this natural outlet was built back then, but later I don't know whether it was because of financial reasons, or other irresistible reasons, the work was stopped, so that many places are still semi-finished.
After continuing to walk inside for another ten minutes, everyone saw a huge stone wall in front of them blocking the way forward, and if they looked closely, they were also engraved with some Buddhist scriptures.
"Manjushri, why is it ...... now" Long Xin read it, zuihou said with a surprised face: "This stone wall is engraved with the Lotus Sutra, I have read the Western Jin Dynasty masters translated the Lotus Sutra, this one seems to be the original, but unfortunately I only learned a little Sanskrit at that time, and I can only know a few of them." ”
Luo Ping didn't know what was the Lotus Sutra or what the Lotus Sutra was, and he wasn't interested in learning about these classics that seemed to him to be boring, but he was even more sure that there should really be some unknown secrets hidden in them.
"Brother Luo...... I'm afraid you can't force your way in. After Long Xin finished speaking, he saw that Luo Ping wanted to use a stone to smash this wall, and hurriedly said: "Although I am a Taoist, but I also have a little understanding of Buddhism, if I am not mistaken, this stone wall should be called (Nian Wall), which is specially used as a mouth for Buddhist disciples when they go out of the mountain and enter the mountain.
"Uh......" Luo Ping was startled, and hurriedly threw the stone in his hand, no wonder this cave should be designed like this, it turns out that there are also considerations in this regard, if it is really smashed down, it will be the same as a toad swallowing mosquitoes, one bite is accurate, and there is no room to run.
"Sister Longxin is too smart, so how should we get in?" Although Anna does not worship Buddhism, let alone know anything about Buddhist classics, she knows that there are indeed many religions on this shijie and holds some unknown secrets, so she gave up the attack as soon as possible, and listened to the words of the little girl with the heart of the dragon.
"Uh......"
Long Xin opened his mouth, looking embarrassed, and said for a long time: "Actually...... Actually, I don't know very well, but I should be looking for the answer from this Lotus Sutra. ”
"It's all up to you, Dragonheart!"
Anna and Luo Ping glanced at each other and said in unison.
Long Xin was stunned for a while, she had never felt that she was so important, the palms of her little hands were full of fine sweat, and the earthworm-like symbols in front of her made her brain feel like paste.
"This, this can only be tried." After a long time, Long Xin wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, walked to the stone wall, took out a dagger, and carved a few characters in the bottom corner of the Lotus Sutra.
Luo Ping and Anna didn't know what they were doing, but they trusted Xiao Longxin very much, watching her complete every action, as long as there was any abnormal movement, they would pick up Longxin and escape as soon as possible.
"Scratch!"
As Long Xin finished writing, the earth suddenly shook, and just as Luo Ping and Anna were about to set up Dragon Heart and fly away, suddenly a red liquid flowed out of the wall in front of them, submerging the entire Lotus Sutra, and zuihou flowed to the sentence depicted by Long Xin.
This scene was so amazing that everyone who watched it was a little dumbfounded, but soon when the liquid covered the dragon's heart, there was immediately a burst of metal friction, and then everyone felt that the entire wall trembled, raising a lot of dust.
"It's open, it's open!"
Long Xin had never been so happy, she had stayed behind Luo Ping and Anna and the others before, and this was the first time she had taken the lead, so this victory was quite important to her.
