"What...... Is it a sink cylinder? His tone was a little unusual, in fact, this person was an inexplicable person, and I was already surprised by the sharp turn of words, but in order to continue to say this, I still followed him at the end of his words.

"Do you know how the monk was buried after he passed away?"

He didn't pause, he asked again, and I just followed what he said to know what he was going to say. I really don't know the process after the monk's death, but I know a little bit about how to do the aftermath after death.

Death and the consummation of all virtues and the extinction of all evils are great gifts of Buddhism. Generally speaking, it refers to the eminent monks or those who are highly respected in the temple and leave the world to go to bliss. In fact, it's just the same braids as ordinary people. In the past, everything was complicated, but in the future, it was relatively simple, and after their death, they had to be buried in a very special way, that is, the sitting jar that they often heard.

Rather than being a funeral ritual, it seems that the ritual is more appropriate. There's a reason for that, too. Because the sitting cylinder is not completed at one time, there are also two processes: sealing the cylinder and opening the cylinder.

One is to put the corpse of the corpse dressed in the clothes of the Buddhist family funeral neatly and neatly into the urn with the posture of sitting and chanting the Buddha into the urn jar with the thickness of one person and half a person, and then close the urn mouth with yellow mud to achieve complete sealing in the cylinder, which is sealed. After that, the opening of the tank is something that needs to be done in a few years, which is the main reason why this somewhat difficult to accept by ordinary people should be called a ritual.

Generally, the sealed jar will be buried in the soil or erected under the tower, and the time of re-excavation to remove the urn jar is uncertain, maybe a few years, but there are also thousands of examples. The tank is taken out, and the yellow mud that closes the mouth of the tank is removed, and what is seen next is the most crucial part of the ritual.

The norm is actually just that everyone sees a pair of bones that have turned white, but there are exceptions, but there are almost very few who can see them with their own eyes.

There is a relatively common phenomenon that temples, especially the more famous Buddhist shrines, generally have a very similar but unusual thing. According to the explanation of the parties, it seems a little inappropriate to say that this thing is a thing, but it is really too little, or even almost none, and coupled with its special degree, it may only be called a thing.

This kind of thing is the golden body of a monk who has attained enlightenment. The origin of the golden body is the product of the three rituals of sitting in the cylinder, sealing the cylinder and then opening the cylinder.

To get back to the point, the so-called sitting in the jar, not to mention other illusory reasons, in fact, most of the purpose is to obtain the final product of the attained monk after ascending to bliss, as well as the golden body and relics.

It is rumored that as long as it is a truly cultivated Buddhist disciple, the corpse will be a little shriveled after the cylinder is opened, and the rest of the place is almost lifelike, and within the golden body, there will probably be relics that will be born by great chance.

"Hmph...... I know a lot, I underestimate you. "Lou Gushan's legs are stuck in the wall of the well, and his hands are placed elsewhere, I don't have his ability, only by using both legs and feet, I can avoid slipping down all the time.

"Hey...... This thing has to be said before.,I was asked to go to the temple to incense.,In order not to lose face in front of the elementary school sister.,I made up a series of allusions before I went.,Didn't I happen to look at it twice.。 ”

"And then?"

Lou Gushan asked me a little different, in fact, I said this just to alleviate the embarrassment in this small space, to put it bluntly, being praised by others, I always have to be modest, but I just thought about it, this bastard has to talk about the sky to death.

I didn't have that good temper, so I whispered and said, "What else can I do later, it's good not to treat people as a psychopath on the spot." Don't talk nonsense about these things, hurry up and get down to business, I don't want to stay in this place, I'm going to. ”

I used the excuse to change the topic back, and Lou Gushan was also neat, and immediately moved his eyes to the huge urn under the water.

"If you mean it, do you suspect that thing is the coffin of an old monk after his death?"

"Are you willing to let people soak you in water as Chinese medicine when you die?"

"I think what you said is a bit too extreme, but I don't care, just don't bubble or don't bother, I plan to respond to the call of the country, and it's okay to burn it clean." China

"Hmph, don't be witty in this kind of place."

Lou Gushan snorted, this made me feel very uncomfortable, my mother didn't pay attention to it, only the governor was allowed to set fires, and the people were not allowed to light the lamps. And there are no human rights anymore.

Before I could make a protest speech, Lou Gushan unloaded a broken brick from the wall of the well, saying that it was a broken brick, but it was not even the size of a fist, but at most it was a stone. He threw the stone down, but the resistance of the water was great, and he saw the stone slowly drifting down like a leaf. The two of us stared at it, and this embarrassing scene almost close to the body was really self-evident. Under our gaze, the stone did not fall on the urn, but disappeared under the dark shadow of the urn along the edge of the urn.

"I can't walk for a while, I'll have to get it up and see what's inside."

Lou Gushan's words are unquestionable, but I have already begun to scold my mother. This is to kill me, the wellhead is so big, the urn is at least twice the size of the wellhead, how can such a big thing get it from the gourd well?

Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered a question, yes, the wellhead is so big, we can't get it all right now, so how did we put it down in the first place? There is absolutely nothing wrong with the fact that the urn is a whole, I have looked at it carefully, and if there is, then I have to doubt my own cognitive ability first.

I made a few gestures, indicating that this thing is too big to get out, and the thickness of this thing is also difficult to put in, normal language communication, I don't want to talk to him anymore, not only is it easy to be trapped, the key is that this bastard is also shameless, always deliberately stumbling on me, so that I have to be laughed at every time, and I will inevitably lose face, I still try my best to restrain my willingness to speak.

The two of us went into the water together this time, and he didn't have a scuba, but he was still able to stay in the water for more than three minutes. I inhaled the hot and humid oxygen from the improvised scuba and was reluctant to do so, but I was somewhat impressed.

Lou Gushan gave up the idea of getting this thing up, obviously persevering to the end would be seen as a fool, he changed his strategy, I saw the iron drill in his hand, and immediately knew that he wanted to do this work in the water.

I withstood the huge resistance in the water, and I made several movements in front of Lou Gushan, and he quickly understood. I'm saying don't do that, it's not clear what is in the urn, and if the hell is as you say, what kind of sink is hidden, then when the seals of the two urns are opened, we are afraid that we will see the fragments of corpses floating out.

Lou Gushan shook his head, he pointed to the top of my head, and waved his hand, I know what he means, just above my head is the water surface under the well, he wants me to get it if I have the ability, if not, then now there is only one way, otherwise, there is really no more.

I was really a little helpless, and for a while I had the idea of climbing up to the mouth of the well immediately, but because I was floating on the horizontal surface of the well at most, I couldn't climb the smooth wall of nearly six meters by myself, so I had to hold my breath and hide as far away as possible.

This place is an obvious gourd well, used for water storage, generally not in the case of a specific time to need a large amount of water is not necessary to build the structure of the well, one is that the construction is more difficult, and the other is also because of the cost associated with the construction difficulty.

The general well goes straight up and down, the bottom of the well is excavated, the muddy water is trapped first, and after the muddy water is removed, a layer of special sand is poured on the bottom of the well, and then the water seeping up has been filtered.

The water system in the south is developed, there is no need to be so troublesome, generally a few meters down the water will come out, and those wells are basically connected to the main trunk of the water system. In the north, it is different, and the reason why it is called seepage well is because the water slowly seeps out from the bottom of the well, rather than being directly connected to the water system.

This kind of well is enough for daily use, and it takes at most one night to get water during the day, and the well will be full again. However, once the water consumption increases, such as that used for irrigation of farmland, it will not be enough to supply, which requires a large water storage system, and the construction of the ground is obviously space-consuming, and it is not easy to eat. After hundreds or even thousands of years of pondering, the toiling masses played tricks in the underground of the well.

According to legend, this method was first proposed and practiced by a tomb robber, because it was almost impossible to dig an unsupported cavity in the ground in the days when there were no equipment and only hoes and shovels. In that case, only the tomb robbers had a solution to this problem.

Here we have to talk about the similarities between some Han tombs and this, and I probably speculate that the structure of this gourd well may be borrowed by tomb robbers at that time from an extremely distinctive Han tomb structure.

That kind of Han tomb is all made of green bricks, and the green bricks can not rot for thousands of years, which is fired through a special process. The reason why it is said that it is just stacking is because there is no adhesive between the green bricks at all, and it is completely built up, with an extremely special borrowing structure, until the top becomes a round arched roof.

This kind of structure should not be underestimated, although it is not connected to each other, but the degree of stability is higher than that of today's reinforced concrete buildings. There was a Han tomb with a similar structure in Gansu, and the house on the ground collapsed due to the earthquake, but only this Han tomb did not even have the slightest deviation.

In my pondering time, the iron drill of Lou Gushan has pierced into the connection between the urn cylinders, and immediately a series of bubbles came out of it, most of this thing is still empty, the bubbles have been bubbling endlessly, for a while, as far as the eye can see, all are pieces of foam shattering, we are affected by it, we can't see anything clearly, and finally have to float to the surface again.
