Chapter 182: Wang Daoshi
That's right, there are three broken grass houses, the roof is indeed thatched, these three broken "grass houses" are the predecessors of the Mogao Grottoes Temple, just at the front end of the three-story building, and the bottom of the three-story building is the sixteenth cave that is currently buried by the wind and sand, and the seventeenth cave is where the scripture cave is also buried under the yellow sand.
According to historical records, Wang Yuanzheng began to repair the three-story building when he was in the first seven years, and the large-scale reconstruction was five years later, and now what is presented in front of Gao Hongsheng is the original ecological dilapidated and dilapidated building, and even the palace on the highest floor is full of sky, not to mention the crumbling railings that are hanging outside and have long been decayed.
At that time, in the northwest region, there was a tradition of Buddhism and Taoism blending, and a large number of Taoist classics preserved in the Tibetan scripture cave also showed that the Mogao Caves had this phenomenon of coexistence between the two religions as early as the Tang Dynasty.
At the same time, in the evening sunshine, the Taoist priests in Suzhou, Gansu Province were also very keen to occupy those Buddhist cave temples that had no monks and transform them into Taoist temples.
This is also the reason why Wang Yuanqi dared to go to Mogao Grottoes to be the host, otherwise how could a Taoist priest come to the temple to be the host, it is really that there is that tradition in that place.
This can also be reflected in the inscription of Wang Yuanji, which calls him "the abbot of Taiqing Palace", which means that the original name of Sanqing Palace we see now is actually Taiqing Palace.
Don't complain, it's almost an archaeological article in the complaint. Let's move on.
The roar of the ATV led a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest out of a new wooden door with double doors, and in front of him was a strange man with a steel monster, which frightened him and retreated backwards into the door, standing at the door and looking out from the inside.
Gao Hongsheng's dress is indeed a monster in his eyes, a modern white jacket, a black baseball cap with a long brim on his head, the long brim is twisted to the back by him, in order to resist the sting of the sun on his neck, a pair of big toad glasses with brown lenses stuck on his face wrapped in a white gauze, and a large red cloak behind him.
Gao Hongsheng didn't pull the car aside from a distance, open the door and get out of the car, then removed the scarf wrapped around his face, followed by a smile on his face, ran a few more steps and walked to the people, greeting him like a boy next door, and then calling uncle, aunt, aunt and sister.
Instead, he drove the ATV directly to the door of Wang Yuanji's three thatched houses, and after seeing Wang Yuanji, who was wearing a dirty "Taoist robe", he sat in the car and looked coldly at Wang Daoist who was standing in the door and was a little frightened.
Then he took out a transparent file bag from a large backpack in the back seat, and took out an A4-sized photo from it, according to the historical Wang Yuanqi photo of a modified single half-length head photo, put the photo on the front windshield in the car, and compared it with the person in the door, and then opened the car door with a bang, and after getting out of the car, the car door was closed with a "bang".
This loud noise directly caused the panicked Wang Taoist priest in the room to take a few steps back into the room in fright, looking at this strange "person" in horror.
"Are you a royal Taoist?" The strange man suddenly asked aloud.
"Xiaodao, it's Wang Daoshi, I don't know what my brother commands?" Daoist Wang obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and the frightened look on his face faded a lot, but the look of sincere fear was still the same.
"Hmmm! See, is this you? Gao Hongsheng said very strictly, if it weren't for the veil on his face, you could see his tense dead face.
After speaking, Gao Hongsheng walked a few steps quickly, rushed directly into the room, and held the A4-sized black and white photo in front of Daoist Wang's eyes.
Half-held in front of the royal Taoist priest is a black and white bust photo, and the black and white photograph that has been repaired by modern technology is the upper body image of the royal Taoist priest in front of him.
Since Gao Hongsheng entered from outside the door, the sunset was blocked behind him, so that when the Wang Taoist priest who retreated into the house looked at him, he was in the position of facing the sun, which made his body with a faint halo.
But it was because of these rays of sunlight that Daoist Wang couldn't see clearly what was painted on the piece of paper. I just vaguely saw that the paper was painted with a bust of a person.
Daoist Wang hesitated and took a step forward, his body deviated slightly, wanting to avoid the sunlight rushing in at the door and see clearly what the portrait on the piece of paper was?
Gao Hongsheng saw Daoist Wang leaning forward, so he shouted sternly in a bored tone: "Then, take a good look at whether it is yourself." After speaking, he casually flipped the half-held photo paper, flipped his wrist, laid down the thick A4-sized photo, and skimmed it over with a "whoosh".
The photo cardboard of A4 was carried by the air to Wang Daoist by Gao Hongsheng's throwing force, and the frightened Wang Taoist hurriedly caught the photo, and then turned sideways to put the photo into the light that came through the door, and looked at the photo carefully.
The photo is the bust of the foreign devil who deceived him into taking most of the scriptures in the cave a few years later, but because it was taken a few years later, the person in the photo is a little older than the real person, but the basic appearance can still be seen to be the same person.
In his cognition, he thought that what he was holding in his hand was just a portrait painted by a painter, but the painting skills of this painter were simply too exquisite, and the delicacy made people unimaginable.
Daoist Wang carefully observed the photo from different angles, and his expression of surprise gradually replaced the original horror.
Gao Hongsheng didn't rush to urge, but very patiently pulled the dead man's face and carefully observed the Wang Taoist priest in front of him. The look of horror on his face faded into a curious look of discovering something new.
Gao Hongsheng was waiting for this result, and when he saw that the heat was almost over, he suddenly interrupted Daoist Wang's curiosity, and asked sharply: "See clearly, is it you on it?" ”
This loud shout scared Daoist Wang's hand trembling and almost threw the photo in his hand away, and suddenly remembered the origin of this portrait, and hurriedly took a step back, with a frightened expression on his face, and reluctantly replied with a smile: "Daoist friend, please, the character on this portrait is Xiaodao." Not ......"
Gao Hongsheng took a few steps forward, and without waiting for him to finish speaking, he pulled back the photo from Daoist Wang's somewhat trembling hand, then took a few steps back, looked at Daoist Wang and said in a deep voice: "Then you are Daoist Wang." Wang Daoshi, ancestral home of Macheng, Hubei, Shaanxi people, poor family, last private school studied, later due to natural disasters to flee to the Suzhou patrol battalion as a soldier, retired after the life of no dependent, into the Taoist door for the Taoist, is the "round" word generation, given the law number: "Fa Zhen" ............ After wandering to the Mogao Grottoes, he was inspired to rebuild the Mogao Grottoes. At this point, he paused for a moment to allow Daoist Wang to digest what he had just said.
The above are all the life stories of Wang Daoshi before he arrived at the Mogao Grottoes, although it is likely that it is not accurate, but Gao Hongsheng did not say it particularly clearly, but vaguely skimmed it.
Then seeing that Daoist Wang just wanted to open his mouth, he shouted: "Am I right, Daoist Wang?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes, it's Xiaodao, I don't know what Daoist friends command?" Daoist Wang cautiously raised his head and glanced at Gao Hongsheng's face, and replied in a low voice. He really couldn't figure out who the person in front of him was, why did he investigate his origin so clearly, could it be someone from the government? However, from this person's somewhat strange words, I heard that it seemed to be someone from the capital, what was this weird man looking for himself? It's just that it's not a demon or a monster.,I haven't heard of a demon that can haunt during the day.。
