Chapter 41: A Hundred Ghosts Towards the Buddha
I tilted my head groggily, the dark crystal lenses on my eyes still there, but the humanoid sculpture was too small to be able to see it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the small space, the sound of my breathing was infinitely louder.
Call.
Whew.
Whew.
It seems like a long time has passed, and it seems like only a moment has passed. My mind rewinds what happened like a movie.
Ma Cheng bowed his head and pounded beside the humanoid black sculpture, and then the whole humanoid sculpture opened from the inside out like a door.
……
I leaned back in the sculpture and felt that the whole sculpture did not fall directly to the ground, but leaned slightly against something. After thinking about it, I brought the cloth strap with the crystal tied to the back of my head in front of me, and watched it slanted downward, and I was convinced that the sculpture did not hit the ground directly.
The image in my mind continues to play back.
Ma Chengcheng reached out and pressed lightly on the bulge next to the humanoid black eagle......
……
A bold idea came to my mind.
The humanoid black eagle was huge, it was so heavy that I wouldn't have been able to move it even a little bit in normal life, but now it was shaken open by an external force, and it happened to be leaning against something, and if I tried hard in it, I would swing it and smash it to the ground - would the whole sculpture open again once the raised mechanism hit the ground? When the sculpture is opened, is it a trivial matter to want to go out?
I woke up from a coma that seemed to be asleep, and my whole person was full of energy for a moment, because I had energy, and my fighting spirit was also high.
But then, I was reminded of a very fatal problem.
The horse is presented.
Which side is it?
There was a deathly silence in the humanoid black eagle.
I was speechless at the inner wall of the red sculpture.
At this moment, a sentence from a domestic cartoon suddenly sounded in my mind.
Fairy, return my grandfather.
In a trance, I seemed to see a tearful horse.
At that moment, the tiger's body was shocked.
No, you can't despair, Ma Chengcheng is still waiting for me to save him.
Thinking so, I immediately began to cheer myself up. I also knew that I couldn't despair at this critical time, and that there was only one opportunity, so I began to exhaust what I had learned all my life to reason.
For the first time, I realized that my brain could spin so fast.
Not long ago, the footage was swishing back, and I began to peel back the cocoon.
It stands to reason that Ma Chengcheng was facing me, and I was facing the humanoid black eagle, and then she stood on the side of the humanoid black eagle and began to tinker.
The humanoid black eagle did not split on two sides, it opened the whole thing from one side - and when I wanted to answer later, Ma Chengcheng slapped the open humanoid black eagle together. Her position has not changed, that is, the position of the humanoid black sculpture mechanism is the connection between the part that can be opened and the entire sculpture. That is to say-
I was standing on the right side!
And now I'm trapped inside the humanoid black eagle, in the opposite direction from the beginning, in other words, in my current position, the mechanism is on the left.
I trembled with excitement.
I really didn't expect that I still have a talent for reasoning, and I am really a hero under adversity.
It's a pity that my language has never been very good, and at this time I can't think of anything to pretend to be forced, and all I have in my mind is the bad singing when I was a child...... Difficulties are like springs, if you are weak, it will be strong, and if you are strong, it will be weak......
It's too scenic.
I shook my head to clear the words out of my mind, and when I got my bearings, I began to move the humanoid black eagle desperately.
Motionless.
I don't give up, hit again.
Probably because it was already unstable, this time under my bump, the whole sculpture suddenly moved.
There's a play!
I was overjoyed and continued to crash into the inner wall of the sculpture.
Slowly, under my successive impacts, the whole sculpture slowly but steadily began to tilt like the ground.
Syllable.
The whole sculpture tumbled to the ground, and my head hit the hard inner wall, and at that moment, I suddenly realized a problem that I had just deliberately ignored.
This humanoid black eagle seems to be the one that Ma Chengcheng brought me in......
The humanoid sculpture fell to the ground.
As expected, when the mechanism hits the ground, the sculpture immediately opens outward.
But because the whole sculpture fell to the ground on its side, the sculpture did not open all of it outward, and the whole opening was very limited, but it was enough for me to get out.
I crawled out of the gap, and as I crawled, I realized that the mechanism was set up on the outer hip bone of the humanoid black eagle, in case it was on the waist that was sunken into it...... Even if I turn this sculpture upside down, it may not come out.
After crawling out, I looked up at the dark wall in front of me, and I felt a sense of confusion for a moment.
Dare to love that this humanoid black eagle was really blown up just now?
Knocked me all the way to another hallway??
I rubbed my aching forehead and turned to look around.
And then......
Then I stared blankly at the scene in front of me.
The whole person was stunned.
The fire under the cliff was so bright that it seemed to have burned in waves, and under the reflection of this firelight, the building on the opposite stone wall that was too far away for me to see clearly was now clearly displayed in front of my eye that did not wear a black crystal.
It was a massive, relief-like building.
It was there that Ma Chengcheng and I fell together, and then began the whole adventure about the Han Dynasty death row.
It's the ghost gate.
The ghost gate stands majestically, and the whole shape seems to be highlighted on the stone wall, which is really magical.
The entire Ghost Gate is divided into two layers, like an inverted pyramid cut from the middle, getting smaller and smaller from top to bottom until it merges with the stone wall.
And that's where the most shocking thing is much more than that.
Just outside the inverted pyramid of the Ghost Gate, there is a huge lifelike Buddha statue engraved.
Enormous.
Hundred Ghost Buddha Statues.
The face of the Buddha statue is simple, the eyes are slightly closed, and the silk is clearly visible under the firelight, and the eyes reveal a universal feeling of compassion and compassion. The Buddha's body pinched the Dharma seal, and the Dharma was solemn, but all the people around the body were all kinds of ghostly reliefs, or the face was hideous, or the eyes were open, or the cloak was scattered, or the mouth was cannibalistic...... There are all kinds of things, and at a cursory glance, the number is definitely more than a hundred.
I'm standing here, stunned and hit by the heat.
For a moment, I just felt dry mouth.
I don't know if I was shocked or steamed by this heat wave.
It's easy to have an innate shock at big things, and I was blown away by the huge ghost gate that seemed to float on top of the stone wall and the huge Buddha statue carved underneath. Although I have been shocked a lot since I entered this death row, none of them have been compared to the current situation.
Not in the Hedgehog Square, not in the black-scaled dragon, not in the terracotta torture array.
The magnitude of this ghost gate is far greater than the places I saw at the beginning, and most importantly, the huge sense of oppression contained in the hundred ghost Buddha statues under this ghost gate cannot be compared to those places I have encountered before, let alone say that it is left and right.
Whether it's the institutions or buildings you've experienced before, even if it's bizarre, you can feel the traces of man-made, but this huge ghost gate, together with the hundred ghost Buddha statues below, seems to be far from the realm of human power. I don't know what the level of workmanship is, I've seen the Statue of Liberty on TV before, and they all say that the sculpture is ingenious, how good it is, but in front of the relief of this hundred ghosts and Buddhas, I think it may be a little inferior.
The dense crowd of all kinds of ghosts seems to be about to break out of the wall.
I swallowed, even though there was no more to swallow now.
The statue of the Hundred Ghosts Buddha was flickering in the light of the fire, and there were some shadowy changes around it.
I couldn't take my eyes off it.
My heart was pounding.
I believe it was a miracle.
A pair of hands covered my eyes.
"If you look at it any further, you will be offending the Bodhisattva."
Ma Chengcheng's cool voice sounded from behind me.
It was then that I realized that I had already burst into tears.
Ma Chengcheng pulled the wood and I turned around in a daze, I looked back at the black wall, and tears flowed non-stop. But strangely, I didn't choke up at the time, and I didn't have the heart to cry. took the toilet paper presented by Ma Cheng, wiped his tears, and it took a long time to calm down. I turned my head to look at her, and there was an inquiring look in my eyes.
Actually, I was curious about why she pushed me into the humanoid black eagle, why the man escaped, what happened just now, and so on, but Ma Chengcheng was obviously wrong, she looked serious and her tone was very serious.
She said, "As early as when the Leshan Giant Buddha was repaired, someone used a mobile phone to take pictures of the Leshan Giant Buddha, and then this person found that his mobile phone could not display the photos at that time, he thought it was a mobile phone failure, but other photos showed that it was very normal, there are many people who do not believe in ghosts and gods, but I think that in any case, even if you don't believe it, you can't discount it, and change the rules and etiquette to abide by, or to abide by it." Photographing Buddha statues and visiting Buddha statues for a long time is an act of impoliteness and culture, you see, if you stand alone, you do this, it is estimated that people will already start scolding. ”
I listened in a daze.
Ma Chengcheng saw that I didn't understand, so he slowed down his speech again, "I don't mean to let people go to feudal superstition or anything, do you know who the predecessor of the Buddha we worship now is?" ”
I nodded, "Shakyamuni, I know." ”
Ma Chengcheng nodded, "Many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are mythologized people, that is to say, these Buddha statues are the link between these people and believers, and they are also a symbol. I have always felt that the best way to believe in Buddhism is not to blindly entrust everything to the gods, but to find your own peace from these people who are honored as Buddhas, and then get true peace of mind. ”
She continued, "The inscription under the gate of the ghost gate should be the Jizo King Bodhisattva, a great deity, in the story, his wish is to make hell empty, so that all evil and demonic energy will disappear, so he is willing to go to hell to save all sentient beings. You see, now too many people don't understand Buddhism, so they feel that the whole of Buddhism is departed, about ghosts and gods, and mysterious, but ah, I read the "Diamond Sutra", which is full of stories, about the life of the Buddha, and many of the truths are still very philosophical......"
Ma Chengcheng looked serious, "Like I said, a person can not believe in Buddhism, he can not have this religious belief, but when facing the Buddha, please use a kind of mentality to face philosophers, a considerable number of the gods in Buddhism are real people, they are like philosophers to discuss life, and then pass down their own thoughts, I think this is a philosopher, is a very great feeling, do you think what I said is right?" ”
I nodded, and waited for the righteousness on her face to slowly dissipate, and then I cautiously spoke, "I can understand your feelings, I know that it was rude to look at the Buddha statue in a daze just now, I apologize...... Having said that, Ma Chengcheng ah......" I looked at her and sighed deeply, "I'm really worried about our current situation right now......"
The fire under the cliff gradually disappeared, and the statue of the Hundred Ghosts and Buddha slowly disappeared into the darkness.
