Volume 1: The Collected Works of Yuan Pu The Hidden Secrets of the Cliff Stone Carvings
Bangshan, a hill on the back of XX urban area, is only two or three hundred meters above sea level, but the mountains here are rugged, the boulders are stacked, the pine locust is covered, and the scenery is deep.
Especially on the cliff stone wall and some giant rocks in the Buddha Optics Valley of the back mountain, there are a large number of Likai stone scriptures scattered impressively. According to research, these stone scriptures were carved during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
In the era of the strange and lively real books, the calligraphers integrated the renewal and sublimation of the aesthetic value of the official book, which not only retained the momentum of the opening of the official book, but also reasonably absorbed the thickness of the real book, and received the effect of serenity, simplicity, subtlety and quietness.
Each carved work is like a Taoist, subtle and round, there is the world but not with, the skin is like ice and snow, like a virgin, the charm of Mumu, low eyebrows, natural and high. Looking at the mountains from afar, the sky is wide and subsequent; A close look looks like a statue of Buddha, quiet and dignified. Lined with mountains and forests and cliffs, and the righteousness of Buddhism is integrated, its scene is broad, magnificent, it is really a great wonder in the history of books!
Legend has it that during the Northern Dynasties, Buddhism experienced three extinction events. The monks and laymen who believe in Buddhism are deeply troubled by this: "I think that the silk is bad, the simple strategy is not long, the gold is hard to find, and the leather paper is easy to destroy." "I hope that the Buddhist scriptures will be engraved on the cliffs and rocks, so that they will be held up to the mountains and will remain forever.
The stone carvings of Bangshan are the fine products of this period, especially famous for their large characters, and gradually the original name of the mountain has also been changed to the current Bangshan. The stone carvings of Bangshan are famous far and wide, and there is an endless stream of people who come here every year. In recent years, even some calligraphy enthusiasts from abroad have come from far and wide to take pictures and copy.
According to legend, about 1,500 years ago, due to several successive large-scale extermination campaigns, some enlightened monks and devout Buddhists, in order to permanently leave some Buddhist scriptures that they regard as supreme classics, invented the precious stone scriptures in the Buddha Optics Valley of Bangshan today.
However, the people of later generations only knew one and did not know the other, they not only permanently carved the Buddhist scriptures on the mountain and stone cliffs, but also some huge temple properties, and the believers' long-term almsgiving and worship property, gathered and secretly hid in the deep mountains and valleys near where the scriptures were engraved.
These eminent monks, not for personal permanent possession of these extraneous wealth, but hope to wait until the revival of the world's peaceful Buddhism, take out these treasures and rebuild the treasure temple and reshape the golden body.
Legend has it that this batch of treasures was so huge that it was divided into several batches by the people in charge at that time, and they were hidden near several famous cliff carvings all over the country. And the secret of opening the treasure has a great deal to do with these inscriptions. At that time, the monk who presided over the carving of the scriptures was also the person in charge of hiding the treasure, and he divided the secret of the treasure into two, one for the mantra and the other for the diagram.
The mantra is a metaphor for the location of the treasures, and knowing the mantra, you can guess the exact location of the cave where the treasure is located. The diagram is a detailed guide map of how to safely enter and exit the cave where the treasure is located, and only by mastering it can you actually enter the cave and take out the treasure smoothly.
Because these treasures are too tempting to the world, many information mechanisms have been artificially set up in the cave where the treasure is located, and it is difficult to take them out safely unless they are explained accordingly.
In addition, this diagram is very weird, like a book from the sky, full of some strange lines and symbols. Even if ordinary people get the diagram, it doesn't mean anything. It must be compared with the local inscriptions, coupled with the code words on the formula, and the three can be truly cracked.
After a long period of carving the sutra and hiding the treasure at the same time, the person in charge at that time handed over the mantra to the presiding monk near the place where the sutra was engraved, and they passed it on from generation to generation until the day of need. The more important illustrations were solemnly delivered to the most prestigious secret organization at the time, the Xinmen.
It is kept by a powerful messenger chosen by the Messenger of the Letter, and from then on he will continue to be in charge of this top-secret diagram from generation to generation. Unless the person holding the corresponding mantra comes to ask for it according to strict procedures, even if he pays for his own life, he cannot hand over the diagram, let alone search for the cave where the treasure is located.
Xinmen, according to legend, was founded by Han Feizi, the patriarch of the Legalist family, and specialized in undertaking some important missions.
No matter what the thorny problem of this mission is, once the believer takes it, it must be passed on from generation to generation and never lose its promise, until the mission truly loses its due value.
Moreover, Xinmen is not quite the same as other secret organizations in the rivers and lakes, and the organizational structure of Xinmen is extremely simple, most of them rely on an independent family to undertake a 'mission', and then pass it on from generation to generation until the 'mission' disappears.
The most important thing is that the 'missions' that Xinmen received are all important and secret tasks that are related to the people of the community and are in line with the natural way of heaven. This kind of 'mission' is not maintained by a simple appreciation, but the 'messenger' who accepts the 'mission' is maintained with the painstaking efforts and lives of his whole life or several generations and dozens of generations.
Once this kind of 'mission' is undertaken, even the people in the sect are not allowed to communicate with each other, and in the future, unless there is a major issue related to the life and death of the sect, the people in the sect are not allowed to contact each other until death.
In addition, once the 'mission' is completed, the status of the 'messenger' will be automatically lifted. If you are not willing to accept any other assignments, then you can quit the organization altogether, and there is no longer any connection with each other.
However, there is one thing that must be adhered to, from now on, any of your actions will have nothing to do with the letter, and you are not allowed to swagger outside under the signboard of the letter.
Otherwise, the letter will start an endless hunt for you, and this will be the beginning of your inevitable doom.
In addition, due to the relationship between everyone's single system, no one in the letter door knows whether there are people in the same door around you, and they don't know which person is your same person, which is the most terrible thing about the letter door.
Perhaps, it is also the so-called old legend on the rivers and lakes: 'Once you enter the letter door, you will not swerve until death'.
