Chapter 453: Alone in the Cave
The Seventh Master stretched out his hands and motioned for us to hurry back, and the maggots struggled to keep getting closer to us, and finally couldn't stand the burning of the flames, and after spewing a burst of foul-smelling slime towards us, it finally stopped moving.
Since we retreated for a long time, the slime was not able to spray us, and the frightened Wang Chuyi looked ahead nervously, and as the flames gradually extinguished, the entire space fell into darkness again, and everything seemed to be quiet.
"Is it done?" Wang Chuyi asked in a low voice.
Huzi smiled and said, "Damn, of course it's done, the seventh master is out, how can there be anything that can't be done?" ”
At this time, the seventh master waved his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense, get out of here quickly!" With that, the seventh master continued to walk up the steps, and after not going far, the steps began to fork, looking at the three forks in front of us, we didn't know which one to choose.
"Damn, if you want me to say, let's just take the middle one, it must lead to the top hall!" Huzi pointed to the middle step and wanted to go up.
The seventh master grabbed the tiger and said, "Our purpose is not to go to the main hall, but to find the ancient tomb and the underground palace, understand?" ”
Huzi smiled innocently and said, "Shouldn't there be a lot of valuable artifacts in this hall?" ”
Hearing Huzi's words, I glanced at him and said angrily, "You fucking know the artifact, the two eyes are full of money, Lao Tzu is here to find the unicorn eye, the unicorn eye is the most important thing, understand!" ”
Huzi was scolded by me for a while, and he didn't dare to speak much, and finally looked at the seventh master, and said, "Okay, I don't care, you can go wherever you say, I think such a big castle, no matter which one we choose, we have to gain something." After speaking, Huzi bumped Wang Chuyi with his shoulder again, smiled hehe, and whispered, "That's right." ”
After harvesting Wang Chuyi's eyes, Huzi completely closed his mouth, and finally the seventh master pointed to the steps on the left, and said, "Let's go to the left first, if things are not right, hurry back." ”
So we started to walk up the steps on the left, at the beginning of the stairs were the same as the previous ones, there was not much difference, but the more we went up, the smoother the surface of the steps became, and finally the steps became smooth and round, looking like a lot of people walking here every day, grinding out for a long time.
Such smooth steps about dozens of steps, came to a huge bluestone courtyard in front of the courtyard, this courtyard relies on the mountain, excavated a large area of flat open space, behind the courtyard, is still a huge ancient building built by the mountain, looks very mighty, so the ancient building stands on the mountain rock cliff, it is really breathtaking.
The seventh master waved his hand, and stepped over the threshold of forty or fifty centimeters first, entering this huge courtyard.
After coming in, I was busy checking around with a flashlight, and found that the whole yard was an irregular rectangle, with an area of about thirty or forty square meters, in the middle of the yard, there was a round stone pillar, standing tall, the two sides of the yard were paved with bluestone slabs into two paths, on both sides of the path, there were railings, looking at the architectural style and style, it should be a corridor for turning the warp.
"Seventh Master, how do I feel that this is a temple?"
Guge architecture is usually a collection of temples, palaces, houses, and arsenals, and it seems that we have entered the temple.
The seventh master nodded, raised the flashlight, and walked towards one of the corridors, I took a flashlight and found that there were many stone statues on both sides of the corridor, and walked all the way, counted carefully, the stone statues embedded in the corridor railing, a total of sixty-nine, the two ends of the corridor are divided into sixty-six ridges, on each ridge, there are two stone statues symmetrical to each other, the carving is exquisite, lifelike.
When the corridor comes to an end, it is a 90-degree turn, and the two corridors on the left and right converge into a single road in this place, leading to the ancient building in front.
I looked up and looked up, only to see this ancient building majestic, nearly 30 meters high, at first when we looked at it from a distance, because the light was too dark, it was regarded as an ancient building, and now I walked in, only then I found that where is this ancient building, it is a huge Buddha statue!
The Seventh Master looked at it for a long time and said, "This is the Medicine King Bodhisattva, a god in Tibetan Buddhism. ”
I saw that this tall Buddha statue is made of huge stones, which is a broken stone Bodhisattva, but the surface of the broken stone is carved very exquisitely, the lines are clear, and there are many prayer flags inserted in the "wheel push"
I looked at it carefully and said, "This medicine king bodhisattva in Tibetan Buddhism is the Manjushri Bodhisattva we worship, right?" ”
Huzi pouted and asked, "How do you know that the Medicine King Bodhisattva is Manjushri Bodhisattva?" Have you two worshipped? ”
I raised my hand and slapped the back of the tiger's head, I have always hated people to joke about the gods, this kind of thing, rather believe it or not, as the old saying goes, there are gods in the head, and it is better to be a man or a little awe-inspiring.
After slapping the tiger, I said, "Because Manjushri also specializes in medicine and relieves the suffering of diseases for the people, why would Yaowang Mountain become a sacred mountain for Manjushri to keep his feet?" ”
At this time, the seventh master waved his hand, pointed to a square hole not far in front, and said, "There is an entrance in front, let's go in and have a look." ”
Huzi was probably angry with me at this time, pouting and saying, "Just look at it, Lao Tzu is a tourist." As he spoke, he followed the seventh master and walked inside.
Wang Chuyi and I followed at the back, after entering this huge Buddha statue, the scene inside shocked me again, only to see a huge rock wall facing us, densely hollowed out many square recesses, each grid inside, are carved with stone a small Buddha statue, there are thousands of statues, it is simply a thousand Buddha walls, which makes people inexplicably rise a sense of awe in their hearts.
And on our right, is carved with a very huge six-character mantra, under this six-character mantra, more than a dozen futons are quietly placed, because this grotto is very dry, the outside wind can not blow in, this futon is well preserved, I walked over quickly, kneeling on the futon with both legs, with a heart of awe, kowtow to the thousand Buddha wall to perform Buddha salutes.
Just when I was holding the ground with my hands and lying on the ground, I suddenly felt that a futon in front of me was very soft, and after the salute, I slowly moved the futon in front of me, only to find that under this futon, there was a circular dark passage!
The diameter of the entrance to this secret passage is probably less than two meters wide, and it is a regular circle, the edges are polished very smooth, and the edges and corners are all smoothed!
I turned on my flashlight and took a picture of the entrance to the circular dark passage, and found that the dark passage was very deep, and it was not straight, some arcs, and a little light could only illuminate a small part.
So I hurriedly beckoned Huzi and Seventh Master to come over, and when they saw the secret passage in front of them, they were not only surprised.
"What's down here?" The Seventh Master asked.
I shook my head and said, "I just took a picture, it's very deep, and there are curves, and there is no end to it." With that, I lit up a glow stick and threw it towards the entrance of the dark passage.
After the glow stick was thrown in, the light flashed, and it was obvious that there was more than one turn in the dark passage below, and the glow stick thrown into it quickly disappeared.
Seeing this situation, the seventh master frowned, looked at the hole in front of him, and hesitated.
Saying this, we can't see the situation in this secret passage, and we don't know if there will be danger, and no one dares to rush in.
"Damn, how can there be a secret passage in this temple? Could it be that the monks here still have private goods? Gold and silver or something? ”
I immediately slapped Huzi again and said, "Don't fucking nonsense!" ”
This time, Huzi was completely angry, and said, "You have the fucking ability, you go down?" Why do you keep beating me? ”
I was so provoked by Huzi, and a nameless fire rose in my heart, and I said, "Go down!" With that, I unloaded the equipment on my back, because the entrance to this dark passage was too narrow, and it was very inconvenient to move with the equipment on my back, so I could only travel lightly, and only carried a Miao knife to get in.
At this time, Wang Chuyi grabbed me one by one, handed me a climbing rope, tied it to my waist, and said, "You just have to climb in, if you encounter any danger, quickly pull the rope, and we will pull you up." ”
After tying the rope, I nodded, and began to crawl head down and feet up towards the inside of the tunnel.
After entering the dark passage, I only felt that the dust was filled, and I don't know how many years no one has been here in this dark passage, and the dust deposited is very thick, and as soon as I crawled in, the dust flew up, choking me and coughing.
Wang Chuyi asked nervously above, "How is it?" You okay? ”
"It's okay, it's just a lot of dust!" I climbed forward with difficulty, about five or six meters, and there was a turn in the tunnel.
The bend was very sharp, nearly 120 degrees, and I almost folded the front half of my body in, and pushed my legs forward hard behind me, and it took a lot of effort to climb through the bend.
After passing the corner, the space in front of me suddenly became larger, more than a meter high, and although the width did not change, at least I was able to bend forward without having to crawl against the ground with difficulty.
After walking about seven or eight meters, I entered a low room, less than two meters high and about three meters wide, with many squares on the four walls of the room, which enshrined small Buddha statues of various forms.
I saw an old man who looked like a monk sitting there cross-legged, his eyes closed, his eyebrows and kind eyes, as if he was meditating, this old man was naked, but his shoulders were draped diagonally, and the robe was worn from left to right, exposing the entire right shoulder, and the other body parts were almost completely covered by this robe.
Observe carefully, although the old man with the appearance of a monk has died, but the body is not rotten, I quickly took out a translucent flashlight, and took a picture of the old man with the appearance of a monk, only to see that the old man's skin was bronze, and the texture was relatively hard, unlike the female corpse I encountered before, the corpse of the old man has not undergone any special treatment, and it can be done for thousands of years without decay, and the facial features and facial features look lifelike, except for the corpse is relatively shriveled, other places are no different from ordinary people, such a strange phenomenon is really amazing, It seems that this man is a sitting monk.
