Chapter 253: Past Life vs. Past Life (2)
It's almost impossible, and with what I know about Cave 112, especially the bouncing pipa diagram, it's simply impossible for a person to disappear into the mural in an instant.
"Isn't it unbelievable?" Zhu Tianwang asked.
"Of course." I nodded unceremoniously, "If it weren't for the trust in Your Excellency, I would have turned around and gone back after listening to this first paragraph." β
Zhu Tianwang smiled bitterly and waved his sleeves: "Indeed, indeed." If our position is reversed, I should do the same thing as you after listening to these words, turn around and leave, and not listen to this nonsense. However, what I said was all true, and there was not a single lie. Regarding Miss Gu's disappearance, that's it. β
I couldn't help but frown, chewing on what he said in my heart.
There is no secret passage behind the rebound pipa diagram, even if it is a multi-layer picture structure, it can't accommodate a big living person like Gu Qingcheng. Moreover, if a person enters the mural, he will destroy the famous mural and will not be able to keep it as it is.
The only explanation is that when Zhu Tianwang left Cave 112, unbelievable supernatural changes occurred inside.
Unfortunately, the monitoring system did not penetrate into every cave, as that would have destroyed the original structure of the Mogao Caves.
"If you disappear like that, you won't come back." I thought about it for a long time and came to this only conclusion.
"Hehe, Mr. Long, I don't want to admit it, but I have to. For twenty-four hours, every minute and every second of my life was thinking about how to explain this to the Gu clan. Actually, they could accuse me of murder, I already thought about it. Now, I invite you to come over, and if you can't do anything about it, I'm going to hold a press conference to make a public statement about it. Zhu Tianwang said.
"What are you going to do at the villa? Go to Mogao Grottoes, go to Cave 112. "I immediately stopped.
"It's useless." Zhu Tianwang shook his head, "It's useless to go, the people are gone, the murals are good, we can't do anything at all." β
"Going to the villa, again, is of no use." I sank my face.
Zhu Tianwang shook his head and sighed: "If I had known this, I wouldn't have snatched people from the tank gang." Now, the more you do, the more you get wrong, and there's no turning back. β
For a long time, I forgot about the Tank Gang.
That gang is just a rabble, willing to be a gun to anyone for a little money, almost to the point that if you have a milk, you are a mother.
Of course, people like Zhu Tianwang may not be much better. Otherwise, he would not have taken people from the tank gang.
"Let's be honest, there's no good way to bring me here, or ...... Let's prepare for the press conference as soon as possible. I said.
For three years, I stayed in Cave 112 for so long that I didn't discover the secret of the mural. There's really nothing I can do now, it's just a waste of time.
If a press conference is held, at least a solution can be solicited from the community and a glimmer of hope can be found.
"Someone wants to see you." Zhu Tianwang said, "After seeing him, it's not too late to be anxious." β
"Who?" I asked.
"A leading figure in the study of the Mogao Grottoes in Asia." Zhu Tianwang replied.
"Master Wan?" I understood immediately.
Zhu Tianwang nodded: "Exactly." He offered to see you alone, so I didn't dare to delay and immediately sent Ah Biao to pick you up. β
"Huh." I sneered, "Afraid that I will refuse, I deliberately processed Miss Gu's selfie video, truncated the key points, and hung my appetite?" β
The tactics used by the other party are very low, and if I don't want to come, I can't be tempted by any means. I came just because I was worried about the safety of Gu Tingcheng and Ming Shuishou.
"Forgive me for my helplessness." Zhu Tianwang said in a low voice.
I had no interest in entanglement with him, and directly ordered: "Hurry up and lead the way, take me to see Master Wan." β
Master Wan's name is as famous as Dunhuang and Mogao Grottoes, and he is a well-deserved first in a century among the groups that study Mogao Grottoes culture in Asia today.
He is a true master, and any other experts and scholars who study Dunhuang culture will call themselves juniors when they see him, and they will be respectful.
In the study of Zhu Tianwang's villa, I met Master Wan meditating cross-legged on the bed of the Arhat.
It was a thin old man, with white hair and white beard, long hands and long feet, like a seated Buddha.
Before we entered the house, the servants in the villa had reported that Master Wan had instructed him to wait until the plate of incense on the table had burned before he could wake him up.
There are eighteen rings of incense on that plate, and when all of them are burned, I am afraid it will take no less than four hours.
I was anxious, but my face was impassive.
"Wait." Zhu Tianwang whispered.
We sat down on the couch on the side, no longer spoke, each silently thinking about our thoughts.
"Disappearing from the mural" is a thing that makes me puzzled, just like Ming Shuisleeve said that he "came from the mural".
When supernatural events occur, any explanation pales in comparison.
I closed my eyes, forced myself to calm down, and slowly scrutinized what Zhu Tianwang had said.
Gu Tingcheng disappeared when Zhu Tianwang left Cave 112, not sooner or later, just when Zhu Tianwang went out to make a call.
So, at that moment, what unusual actions did she do that led to the disappearance?
It's no secret that the bouncing lute has a magical power. Anyone who stares at the Mai Ji for a long time can see some kind of expression on her face.
Sometimes it's a smile, sometimes it's anger, sometimes it's contempt, sometimes it's sadness...... And so on and so forth.
The first to discover this law was the famous Chinese artist Sima Fangfang, who was nicknamed "Painting Idiot".
I've experimented with it, and this statement is very true, and when you look at the bouncing lute diagram from different angles and at different times, you will get different facial feedback.
According to Sima Fangfang's explanation, when drawing the rebound pipa diagram at that time, the painter used the technique of "chaotic cloak" to find the chapter in the "disorderless method", and after the final formation, the result completely exceeded the real level of the painter, that is, the art world often said "God-given magic brush".
At that moment, the painter was like a god possessed, although the brush was still in his hand, when he moved the brush, it was a divine power.
Sima Fangfang once said that in the face of such a "divine work", it is normal for any "divine thing" to occur.
Regarding the "painting idiot" Sima Fangfang, many folk media have reported a lot, and many of the contents have entered the field of metaphysics, and finally it has been passed on to be miraculous.
Here, I just want to say one thing, that is, the rebound pipa picture is the most magical one of the murals in the Mogao Grottoes.
This is already the consensus of everyone, and I don't need to praise it, the artist's eyes are all bright.
The disappearance of Gu Tingcheng will bring a lot of trouble, at least, Gu Tingguo will not give up, and will use all social connections to investigate this matter, to see people in life and corpses in death.
"Young man, you can find her if you want to." A voice suddenly rang out in front of my face.
When I opened my eyes, a pair of black and white eyes stayed half a foot away in front of me, and the tip of the other's nose almost touched the tip of mine.
The strangest thing is that I can't feel the other person's breath at such a close distance.
"If you go, you can solve the problem, you are the only one, and others have nothing to do." The other party continued.
"How to get there?" I asked.
The other man stepped back, returned to the Arhat bed, and suddenly resumed his posture of meditating cross-legged, but the ten fingers of his hands and the ten toes of his feet were touched.
"Master Wan, the younger generation is dull, I hope to show it clearly." I respectfully bow my hand.
Master Wan stared at me, and his two silver eyebrows suddenly trembled.
"You know, you asked me instead?" He said.
I don't know what to do, but I do know that he uses the Zen "witty" way of dialogue, where every word and sentence is an allusion, a metaphor, a codeword, and only by chewing deeply can we reach the original meaning.
"I know something, I don't know how to find the right path. Master Wan is the Taishan Beidou of Dunhuang cultural research, if he can give guidance at such a time, the younger generation will definitely be able to have enlightenment like enlightenment. I said.
"The so-called grandmaster is just scratching the surface. Tempting to see sex, only then is the immortal. You're going to wake up, wake up, and the world is yours. Master Wan said.
"What does the master want to tell the younger generation about this 'Twenty Wisdom Seal'?" I asked.
Tibetan Tantra, Tianzhu Tantra, Sanskrit Tantra, and Oriental Ninja Tantra all have the practice of "knotting mudras", which are similar on the surface, but there are essential differences.
The essence of this "Twenty Wisdom Seals" is to teach the disciples to understand the various methods of tantra through various means such as heart-to-heart teaching, oral teaching, and physical teaching. However, strictly speaking, this mudra can only be used for the teachings of the master of the sect to the disciples of the sect. There is no sectarian relationship between me and Master Wan, and it is not appropriate to use this seal.
"I will do everything in my power to make you understand that world." Master Wan said.
"The younger generation is extremely grateful, but they are not very greedy for the world in Tantra." I say.
Tantra has a vast territory and is a world where the wise compete. Right now, I still have a great attachment to the real world, so it's impossible to leave everything behind to get close to Tantra.
I am well aware of the hardships of cultivation, especially if I can't concentrate on cultivation, in the long run, I will definitely be harmed by this kind of mental desire.
Of course, if I had been interested in tantric practice, I would have had the opportunity to enter the house as early as when I was on Hong Kong Island.
"No, you don't know, your past isβ" Master Wan lowered his head halfway through his words, thinking silently.
I don't ask, I just wait for him to speak.
"The dragon under the Bodhi tree for three days disturbs the fire and wind of the earth." Master Wan said.
I nodded, fully understanding the meaning of those two sentences.
The top 10 fortune tellers on Hong Kong Island have said the same thing to me, which translates into the vernacular, that is, I was one of the three celestial dragons under the Bodhi tree, whose names were earth, fire, and wind. The dragon cultivates under the Bodhi tree, and once it is freed from the shackles of the Bodhi tree, it will disturb the world and bring great disasters to the world.
"When you practice to save the world, you also save yourself, and when your merits are complete, you will be able to understand that in all your practice, you must first cultivate yourself, and then cultivate external objects. What you resist now is exactly what you will be striving for in the future, you know? Master Wan said.
"Tell me something about Miss Gu." I say.
I came to see Master Wan to find Gu Qingcheng, not for myself.
"I don't know." Master Wan shook his head.
"You must know something that the world doesn't know, about Dunhuang, about the Mogao Grottoes, about the murals of the bouncing pipa picture...... I believe that if you just ask, you will be able to inspire me. I said.
As long as anyone who knows a little about Master Wan knows that it is as if there is a Mogao Grottoes hidden in his mind, and his knowledge structure covers all the classics that explain the Mogao Grottoes.
He is so familiar with the Mogao Grottoes, as if facing his own house, he knows every inch of the place.
"You're wrong, the more you know about the Mogao Grottoes, the clearer you know that humans don't know about it at all. In the past 30 years, I have been trying to make myself forget the Mogao Grottoes in my heart and know the real one from scratch, which is the most correct way to understand the Mogao Grottoes - seeing the mountain is just a mountain, seeing the mountain is not a mountain, and seeing the mountain is still a mountain. He said.
