Chapter 119: A Woman's War (I)

Everyone was dumbfounded for a while, and it took a long time to come back to their senses. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info I heard Lao Sun mention it to my junior brother before, and now I am so surprised that I can't speak for a long time when I see it with my own eyes, not to mention Lao Qiao, Senior Sister, and Ah Li who have seen it for the first time, and the expression on his face is even more changeable, shouting what is this.

I briefly sorted out what I learned about the Guge Dynasty and the Guge Silver Eye, which is roughly as follows: The Guge Dynasty is a new dynasty established by some members of the royal family after the collapse of the Tubo Dynasty, which has flourished for more than 700 years, and the population is as high as 100,000 at its peak. They advocate Buddhist culture, so their architectural style has a strong Buddhist color. Guge was rich in gold and silver, and they used the juice of gold and silver to make ink, write scriptures, and paint murals, and the degree of luxury is incomparable. One of the most prestigious is the Guge Silver Eye, which is unique to Guge, made of different raw materials such as gold, silver, and copper, and there is no seam found throughout the body, just like the natural formation. Then there is the mural, the Guge mural is magnificent, the style is unique, the painted figure is prominent, the pen is refined, comprehensively and vividly reflects the social style of the Guge at that time, and it is very valuable for reference and research.

It's a pity that such a big country was completely wiped out in a battle with Ladakh in the 17th century, and more than 100,000 people suddenly disappeared without a trace, which is still an unsolved mystery in the world.

Of course, these are all summarized by me from the information and Lao Sun's account, and there are inevitably imperfections and omissions, but as background materials for understanding Guge Silver Eye, it is enough.

After hearing this, the junior brother shook the three eyes of the Buddha statue back and forth with a flashlight, and said with emotion: "Guge Silver Eyes, Guge Silver Eyes...... I said that these half-eyed beads, how do they look sparkling, brighter than precious stones, it turns out to be loud and bright silver! ā€

I glanced at him, knowing that this kid must be using his brain again, but with so many people present, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

Lao Qiao pinched his chin and trembled for a long time before he held back a sentence: "Miracle, what a miracle......" After that, he was so excited that he couldn't speak anymore.

Damn, these two unproductive ...... I had no choice but to go to my sister to discuss, and now that my sister knew the ins and outs of everything, I asked directly, "Senior sister, what do you think?" ā€

Senior Sister stared at Gu Ge's silver eyes and thought for a while, and said: "Such a huge underground project, it is absolutely impossible to complete it with personal strength alone, and behind him, there must be a powerful consortium that continuously provides human, financial, and material resources. Therefore, I speculate that the designer of this underground Buddhist cave must have been a person with a very high status and status in the society at that time, which is one of them. Second, although this person has been to Tibet before his death, he obviously does not know much about the ancient silver eye, otherwise, he would never use only copper, not a mixture of gold, silver, and copper, of course, it may also be because of limited economic conditions, but this situation is rare, since he decided to cultivate, he will definitely cultivate to perfection, so as to give future generations the opportunity to sing praises of virtue. Third, the frescoes on the staircase are full of dark colors typical of medieval Europe, and it is difficult for people who have not experienced or witnessed it to present it so realistically. To sum up, I believe that starting from the twin trees, to the spiral staircase leading to the crack in the black clouds, to this underground Ten Thousand Buddha Grottoes, its designer is actually the same person, and his real identity is that of a missionary who fled from Europe to China for refuge in the Middle Ages. He designed the underground Ten Thousand Buddha Grottoes to look like heaven, and gave Guge the role of the savior of the silver eye, so that those who did evil before death could atone for their sins and practice here after death, so that their souls could be redeemed and gain eternal life. ā€

"Missionary?" "If you are a missionary, why do you choose a savior instead of their own people, but instead use the image of Chinese gods and Buddhas?" Is such salvation still useful? Can Jesus hear? ā€

The senior sister thought for a moment and explained: "I guess it may be because he was shocked by the image of Guge Silver Eye after seeing it in Tibet, and in addition, he came to China alone, and if he wants to complete such a huge project, he must get the funding and support of the Chinese royal family, so choosing an image of a Chinese Buddha is far more enjoyable than a foreigner crucified." ā€

I quickly analyzed: "The Middle Ages was about a few hundred years between the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the bourgeois revolution in England, that is, from 476 AD to 1640 AD, because of the frequent wars brought about by feudal separation, the social productive forces almost came to a standstill, and the clergy almost replaced the chaotic and nominal imperial power, and the people's lives were miserable, so it was called the 'Dark Middle Ages'." During this period, the Chinese dynasties covered were roughly Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Yuan, and the middle of the Ming Dynasty, among them, the Tang Dynasty, which belonged to 618 AD to 907 AD, was the most powerful, and the people were civilized, foreign relations developed rapidly, and many countries in the world had frequent contacts, and the missionary was very likely to come to the Tang Dynasty at that time. ā€

Ah Li raised questions again, and the two questions in succession were aimed at the senior sister's speech just now, as if she had not heard what I said at all: "Since you want to follow the customs of the country and choose the Chinese's own image of gods and Buddhas, then why does this missionary, with the famous Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Guanyin, and Rulai Buddha, not choose, but to choose a monster with three eyes and four arms?" Seeing this in heaven, don't you think you're in the wrong place? Also, Taoism is a native sect of China, Guge Yinyan inherited the Tibetan Tibetan, the two are completely incompatible, there is no Yin and Yang gossip on the real Guge Yinyan, it can be seen that this missionary Mr. is self-righteous and adds to the snake, and in ancient China, no matter which dynasty and which generation of rulers, they are all respected by local sects, foreign religions are secondary, just ask, how can they tolerate a foreigner who preaches Christianity, and the way of Christ and Buddhism is popular, and China's native Taoism is squeezed at the very end? Even if the emperor is deviant and immoral, it won't be like this, right? Senior sister, don't you think it's your preconceived ideas? ā€

After Ah Li said this in one breath, everyone was stunned. Obviously, no one took these into account, let alone expected that Ah Li would dare to argue with her senior sister.

And people like Senior Sister, if they have suffered a loss once after eating A Li, they will never eat it a second time. Before everyone could react, she smiled coldly and said to Ah Li, "Go on." (To be continued.) )
