I sniffed the air in the dark tunnel, and although it seemed cold and damp, it felt okay after all. Just in case, I asked Sanjay for a lighter, lit an old candle, and gently placed it in the gap in the dark room.

Seeing this, the cabinet couldn't sit still, and seeing that I was still hesitating at the door of the secret passage, I couldn't help but squeeze over, approached me, and whispered to me, "Brother, what's wrong?" What does it mean to light this candle? How did you learn to touch Captain Jin? ”

Of course I understand the meaning of the cabinet. As the saying goes: "People light candles, ghosts blow out lamps", this is indeed a rule passed down from captain to captain on the road, and I won't say the meaning - because I don't really understand it at all.

As for the reason why I'm doing this now, it's purely for security reasons. After all, at the very least, if the candle can't be lit, at least it means that the oxygen in the dark tunnel is very scarce, and it will be dangerous to go down rashly.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the dark tunnel is full of dangerous combustible gas, and the consequence is naturally that we get on the "dirt plane" and are blown into the sky.

Thinking of this, I thought it was troublesome to explain to the cabinet, so I whispered back to him: "Why are there so many words?" Just follow me! When I spoke, I deliberately acted like I disliked him and talked about it, and my tone was consciously sinking, which sounded like I had experienced the vicissitudes of life and seen the world.

When I heard the cabinet, I was really stunned. This guy has always admired me since college, and he naturally believes in my words, and when he saw me scolding him, he really thought that he had encountered a tricky situation, of course, he didn't dare to make a sound, and only followed me honestly.

I was just amused when I saw this, and I thought to myself, when I first entered here, my brother had already "scanned" it with his heart and eyes, and it stands to reason that there should be no danger, but I didn't expect to pretend casually, and it really scared the cabinet, which is really interesting.

But then again, this guy in the cabinet can be regarded as a bit adventurous, unlike my old friend who retreated from the difficulty, he has only experienced the baptism of a wave of Great Black Mountain Gu Tombs, and he no longer dares to go down to explore the novel unknown world. Comparing the two, the cabinet that also wants to make a fortune by touching the baby and his good Mengzhao are really rare enough compared to the ears that give up halfway.

In a hurry, our group had already followed Sanjay, who was holding the traditional torch high and leading the way, and cautiously crawled into the dark passage.

After climbing for a while, the person was able to straighten up after passing through the thick earthen wall. I saw that he didn't look back, looking fearless and fearless, I couldn't help but respect him, and inadvertently blurted out Sanjay: "Brother, I didn't expect you to be so bold, aren't you afraid?" It's a place that no one has been to for hundreds of years. ”

"Brother, look at what you said." When Sanjay saw that I stopped him, he couldn't help but stop, turned to me and said, "How can I not be afraid?" We are not like you, we have learned the ability to go from heaven to earth. It's just that, as the host, you are not afraid of the adventures here, so how can I hide behind? ”

As soon as his words fell, I could see that Sanjay's legs and stomach were shaking like a swing. After savoring the meaning of his words, I thought about it, took the torch in his hand, and walked to the front of the line.

"Brother, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you're still so affectionate and righteous." Thinking that he was worried about us because he personally accompanied us up the mountain to investigate, where could I bear to let him, who has a family, be at the front of the team. To be honest, I have the means to protect myself in case of danger.

So, the team marched steadily in the dark passage in the order of me, Sanjay, Cabinet, Mengzhao, and Sharon. Although the secret passage is long and narrow, there is still no danger in the whole process. After we all crossed the secret passage without danger and came to an empty basement at the end, I looked around and found nothing unusual, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

The secret room is not large, and the secret passage leads directly to the side of the stone room the size of this classroom. By the light of the fire, we roughly swept through the murals painted on the walls around the stone chamber.

Although not as professional as Ah Xia, Mengzhao, a tour guide, knows all about famous scenic spots across the country and knows some about related legends. I saw that she tinkered for a long time, and finally decided that these murals depicted the scene when the Tubo king Songtsen Gampo and Princess Wencheng were reconciled.

"Isn't that what happened in the Tang Dynasty? Could it be that this temple was built so long? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but wonder. If that's the case, wouldn't the temple be hundreds of years behind Luo Quan, the equivalent of the Nanzhao State Master in the Song Dynasty?

"Not necessarily." Seeing me frowning, Sharon, who had not spoken on the side, thought for a moment and interjected: "The mural only records the past events, and the period of the temple cannot be determined based on the historical events depicted above. ”

I listened to her reasoning, nodded my head, and no longer let the vivid walls distract my thinking, and returned my attention to the monastery itself, which was originally a Sakya sect (a sect of Tibetan Buddhism), and then to the Gelug sect.

The hill is so big, and the land is so wide, why should the new temple be renovated and built on the site of this other genre? Could it be that the people who renovated the temple wanted to use the new temple to hide some secret that could not be hidden?

With these questions in mind, I fell into a brief contemplation. When I didn't open my mind for a long time, I happened to see a idle cabinet holding a small mining hammer, knocking east and west, pretending to be a serious archaeological team in front of Meng Zhao. It's just that although he didn't find a single clue, the precious murals on the wall that have been in disrepair for a long time have really been knocked down by him.

Hey, hey! Brother, it's not such a whole way to destroy the heavenly things! Thinking that this priceless mural was about to be destroyed in the hands of this ignorant cabinet, I just wanted to call him to stop the old driver in the middle of the door, but Sharon who was carefully observing from the side stretched out his hand to stop him.

Following the point of her round and strong arms, I also saw at a glance that behind the mural that had been knocked off by the hammering of the lowly cabinet, a portrait hidden behind it was once again revealed.

Well, when curiosity comes up, it seems that it is really a little involuntary. Attracted by the looming image, I immediately put down the coat of "cultural relics protector" that Ah Xia had put on, raised my mobile phone, and took advantage of the light of flashlights and torches to take a close-up of all the partially enlarged murals around me, and then I couldn't wait to join the ranks of the cabinets.

"Huh! How so!? ”

After hearing Sharon's uncharacteristically blurted out exclamations, which had always remained calm, I was also curious about what this bold and careful foreign girl had discovered.

Who knows, after seeing her stretch out her hand and draw a circle clockwise, I took out the photos taken in my mobile phone and compared them, I immediately saw the clues of these two layers of picture-in-picture-

Oh, my God! Oh no,! I said that the more I look at these two paintings, the more I feel that people feel a kind of confusing strangeness, just because: these two paintings are actually just one at all!

Or to be more precise, two identical paintings, but painted on the walls in a misplaced position. In other words, the paintings on all four walls also depict Songtsen Gampo pacifying civil strife, unifying Tibet, introducing Buddhism from the Tang Dynasty, and marrying Princess Wencheng. It's just that the mural on the lower floor, just like the painting on the upper floor, is just out of place on a wall.

In other words, the wall now depicting Songtsen Gampo unifying Tibet is depicting the scene of Songtsen Gampo quelling civil strife: it is rotated 90 degrees clockwise – the same meaning as the word "*" in the Buddhist scriptures.

Wait a minute! In this way, it seems that when the secret passage was discovered at the beginning, the layout of the Buddha statue inside and outside the dark room was also the same arrangement!

What does this mean?

When I realized this, I immediately thought of something, but it seemed that I was only close to figuring it out...... At this juncture, Sanjay suddenly said, "Why don't we go back first?" The weather forecast says that there will be snow on the mountains in the afternoon. ”

After hearing his words, I couldn't help but glance at the dark passage we had drilled down, and suddenly I had a flash of inspiration, and my heart was full of joy:

"That's right! Brothers! Lend you auspicious words! I figured it out! ”

Everyone was also attracted by my sudden cry of great joy, seeing the appearance of everyone at a loss, I didn't explain much, only concentrated on luck gathered a fire phoenix golden feather, and with a shake of his hand, it had turned into a golden hammer about two meters long and with a heavy head and a long handle, and handed it to Sharon's hand, and asked her to swing it at the wall in front of the wall where the secret passage was rotated 90 degrees clockwise.

Sharon suddenly realized when she heard my command. After steadying his strength, he slammed a hammer on the wall of the mural, and sure enough, there was a muffled sound, and then there was a clattering sound of rubble falling to the ground.

After the raised stone dust settled, a passage similar to the dark passage of Fang Cai appeared in the wall.

Driven by curiosity, one by one, we had to burrow into the newly discovered secret passages and come to a stone chamber similar in size to the previous one with frescoes.

With the help of the light, we can see clearly that there are a circle of Arhat statues of different shapes and lifelike postures in the stone room, all with hideous faces and solemn expressions, as if they are staring at themselves who have broken into here.

At first glance, the number of Arhat statues is about 16 - what a surprise, as far as I know, the number of Arhats in the Buddha's house seems to be eighteen.

"Brother, look here, this Arhat statue is broken!"

Looking at the designated eyes of the cabinet, it seems that the broken stones can really piece together the head, face, hands and feet of Arhat.

"Hey, what is this?"

Before I could carefully confirm the remnants of this Arhat, on that side, Mengzhao seemed to have made a new discovery.

Leaning over to take a look, Meng Zhao also had a pile of broken Arhat statue fragments all over the ground, but, in addition, among the fragments, she actually found a bronze mirror with a dark color but smooth texture.

When I picked it up, I suddenly had the feeling that I had seen this thing there.

"Brother...... This mirror looks exactly like the bronze mirror you got back from Master Luo Quan! "Grave hunter white
