Chapter 29: The Ancient Battlefield (1)
I exchanged two sentences with Zhang Qianshang, and Jia Ren on the side couldn't stand it, and he shouted unhappily: "What's the use of reading too many books?" Could it be that you are full of economic prosperity and shouting, 'Open Sesame', this hellish place can open a way for you to come out? ”
I smiled bitterly, "I can't understand this with a big boss like you, aren't we a little bit of a clue?" The more you know, the more likely you are to go out of here, you can't become a fat person by eating in one breath, you can open the door by yourself, and you have a loud voice. ”
"Not necessarily." Zhang Qian's words surprised me and Jia Ren, and I asked, "Is it possible, there is really a voice-activated device?" It's unlikely. ”
Zhang Qian shook his head, he stretched out his hand into the hole and groped for a while, and after ten seconds, he retracted his hand and said to us: "That auspicious sea and cloud are missing two points, maybe there is some mystery hidden in it." ”
He told us that the two missing points were recessed, and if we found something about the same shape, we might be able to change something.
I reached in and touched it, and it was as if he had two missing parts in the pattern, and the recesses felt about the size of half a fingernail.
The three of us groped on the ground for a while, but we didn't find a pebble that could fit into it completely, and then Jia Ren's brain suddenly opened up.
He tore off a few pieces of bread and slowly stuffed them in, then picked up a few more pieces of sand and pressed them inside, and immediately heard a muffled 'boom' sound in his ears, and there seemed to be some mechanism activated in the cave wall in front of him.
The three of us hurriedly took a few steps back, and the flashlight shone on the cave wall, and a tiny crack suddenly spread in front of our eyes, and a few seconds later, a half-meter-long opening appeared in front of us.
"Holy! There really is such a thing! I used to watch "Stealing the Pen" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and I thought that there was such a mechanism in the mountain, which was completely nonsense, but now I actually saw it with my own eyes! Jia Ren's eyes were as wide as copper bells.
"Don't underestimate those craftsmen in ancient times, it's not an exaggeration to say that they are gods, you can look at Luban locks and the like, it can almost be said to be a miniature miracle."
I simply admire the ingenuity of the craftsmen in ancient times, and many things may not be able to be made so fine even in modern times with advanced technology.
There is an independent space in the crack that opened, and the flashlight shines in it for a while and finds that it is also a passage, but this is a little different from the passage we are in now, the inside is obviously much wider, and the cave wall is smooth and flat and full of bluestone.
"The craftsmen are more skilled, and I'm afraid that the passage inside is not the same dynasty as the one we are in now."
Zhang Qian took the lead in and touched the cave wall at close range, he turned his head to us and said, "No problem, it's safe here." ”
I squeezed in with the dog king sideways, and suddenly opened up when I looked around, before I looked inside from the outside, it was really a leopard in the tube, the space inside was simply amazing, and the cave wall that Zhang Qian touched was actually just a huge stone screen.
"It's like a... Football? Jia Ren hid behind the stone slab and let out a sigh of emotion.
The light of my flashlight can't shine at the far end, and the straight-line distance of this flashlight must be more than 50 meters, it seems that this place is really a big exaggeration, and I suspect that this mountain has been hollowed out.
I could see some sculptures on the wall of the cave slightly away from us, so I walked to a place about ten meters to the left and held up the flashlight to take a closer look.
The head of the sculpture in front of him had been ruined and it was impossible to see how it looked, but it still couldn't stop its majestic body from exuding that kind of temperament like a god of war.
"What is this carving?" Jia Ren walked up to me and touched my arm, I shook my head: "I don't know, I guess it should be Sanmiao or some great god of the Shundi tribe." ”
There are many more such reliefs on this side, and when I walked ten meters or so, I could see three or four statues of similar size.
"Why do you think those ancients are sculpting in this mountain that doesn't see the light of day? What's the use of carving these things? Did the Sanmiao tribe or Emperor Shun do it? Jia Ren asked in a low voice.
"You're a fucking blue cat naughty three thousand asked? You ask me, I ask who goes? "I just saw a relief with a plate axe in my flashlight, this one is more complete than the previous one, the head is quite well preserved, the facial features on it are three-dimensional and realistic, especially the pair of angry eyes, just look at it I feel trembling all over.
"It's infiltrating." Jia Ren also felt uncomfortable, and at this time, Zhang Qian, who was groping on the other side of the stone slab, shouted loudly to us to go over, and we ran over in two steps.
"What's wrong?" I asked, Zhang Qian's expression was a little solemn, he pointed to the slate and said, "I groped on this big slate for a while, and found that it was Sanskrit, although most of it was blurred and illegible, but a few words in it were very clear. ”
"What word?"
"Boom, boom." Zhang Qian's face was solemn, and Jia Ren scratched his head a little inexplicably, "Isn't it just a spell?" I remember that Han Hong had a song that also had this word. ”
I was also a little puzzled and couldn't help asking, "Is there anything special about these six words?" You can see that your face is a little pale. ”
"This is the six-character mantra, most people know that this is the mantra of Guanyin Bodhisattva's compassion, and Samadhi is the right determination and positive acceptance, but what I am worried about is that there is another layer of meaning, there is a record in the "Yuanjue Sutra".
At that time, there was a strong ghost king named Ji Pandu, and 100,000 ghost kings, that is, from the seat, bowed to the Buddha's feet, and the right went around the three turns and the white Buddha said: 'World-honored! I also guard the people who hold the scriptures, and guard them day and night, so that they do not retreat. If a ghost or god invades his realm within ten months of his dwelling, I will make him shatter like dust. ’”
Zhang Qian said, "You understand why I'm worried, right? The two of us were a little confused, not to mention Jia Ren's tendon, and I didn't even know what he wanted to express if I had a bit or two of ink in my stomach.
If I just translate this passage, I probably know that it means that there is a powerful ghost king whose name is Ji Pandu, and 100,000 ghost kings have left their seats and come to the Buddha to pay their respects.
After bowing to the Buddha's feet, he circled the Buddha three times and made a vow to the Buddha that they would guard those who held the sutra and stand guard around them from morning till night.
And within a certain radius of these people's residences, if there are evil ghosts and gods who dare to harass these cultivators, then they will crush these evil ghosts and gods to slag.
I translated the passage that Zhang Qian said into the vernacular and told Jia Ren, who still didn't understand what was hidden.
