Chapter 187: Positioning
Everyone was attracted by this strange and mysterious cave, and they all gathered around the place and looked inside with flashlights, what was inside the black iron gate? Why are there so many mantras?
Shirley Yang said that after the Italian Tibetan researcher and explorer Professor Duchi discovered the ruins of Guge, he made a conservative estimate of the scale of the ruins preserved here, with about 500 houses and halls, 60 bunkers, 30 stupas of various types, and several defensive walls and tower walls; The largest of these is the underground cave of the royal city, which has almost a thousand eyes.
This shows that the area and scale of the underground facilities of the Guge castle even far exceeded the part built on the ground. Everyone asked the lama, there is a silver-eyed Buddha statue in this cave, it is a Tibetan scripture cave, and it is still a cave-shaped Buddha hall.
The Iron Rod Lama didn't answer, and walked straight over the broken wall into the hidden space. Fearing some danger inside, I followed closely with Remington.
The Buddha statue in the secret cave is not tall, only a foot high, the color is dazzling, but it is not cast of pure gold or pure copper, but is made of hardware respectively, but is formed in one piece - only the Guge people can make this process, its secret recipe is now lost, the Buddha statue with silver eyes and golden body has been handed down even less, this Buddha statue is very valuable!
The Iron Rod Lama bowed to the Buddha statue before continuing to look at the rest of the cave. The silver-eyed Buddha is almost connected with the base of the iron door behind it, and it is artificially fixed, and the black closed iron door is pasted with the six-character proverb of Tantra: "Om, well, what, horn, moo, huh." ”
Although this kind of six-character proverb is common, I don't know what it means, but I think it may be similar to Amitabha, and there seems to be no need to put such a thing on ordinary doors. I asked the lama what the six-character proverb represented, and whether it was for the suppression of evil spirits and exorcism, and it seemed that the iron door could not be opened.
The Iron Rod Lama said to me, "There are so many meanings that the six-character proverb represents, and ordinary disciples recite this proverb to merge their minds with the Buddha; However, the profundity of tantric skills depends on the accumulation of daily cultivation of the dharma, just as the quality of cheese pastry depends on the constant stirring of ghee, and it cannot be expected that the recitation of the six-character proverb will achieve positive results. If these six words are translated into your Chinese, the meaning will probably be - Om! The treasure of the lotus, huh! ”
There are many schools of religion in Tibet, and even Buddhism has many branches, so the Iron Rod Lama has limited knowledge about the affairs of Samsara Buddhism. According to his speculation, this secret cave hidden next to the reincarnation hall may represent the hell of the reincarnation sect, and the souls of the people who commit great crimes cannot be liberated after death, and they will be locked in this black door and go through the torment and torture of hell, so this door cannot be opened, and there may be evil ghosts in hell inside, and there may be demons in the underworld.
I was checking in the cave with the lama, and suddenly something "swished" on the surface of my foot, I hurriedly raised my foot and kicked it, and everyone outside the cave also used flashlights to shine on the ground - it turned out to be a small black muskrat, shaped like a kitten, and saw the light of the flashlight flickering, and panicked into the black door.
Only then did we realize that there was a big gap under the black iron door, and I shone it inward with a flashlight, but it was too deep for me to see anything. The Iron Rod Lama and I did not delay any longer, and returned to the cave the same way, this secret cave has nothing to do with the coordinates of the silver eye, and it is better to have more than one thing; As for what's inside, it's better to leave it to future archaeological teams or expeditions to excavate.
The fat man and Uncle Ming both coveted the silver-eyed Buddha statue, but with the presence of the iron-roded lama, they didn't dare to come nonsense, so they forcibly held back. Uncle Ming seemed to be comforting himself, only listening to him say to himself: "Anyone who can achieve great things is not limited to small details!" Let's dig up the glacier crystal corpse this time, that's a big deal! Although this silver-eyed Buddha statue is also worth a few dollars, it is not worth selling at all in comparison! ”
The Iron Rod Lama asked everyone to move some earth and stones, re-cover the broken wall, and then they all stood outside the temple; Due to the missing pillar in the Buddha hall of the Temple of Reincarnation, everyone did not dare to venture into the temple again. The collapsed pillar is a virtual pillar placed for the sake of neat layout because the lower part is part of the cave, and it belongs to the cold dish of the Chinese New Year's Eve - there is not much of it, there is not much of it, and it does not affect the safety of the entire building.
Uncle Ming took out the ancient scriptures from overseas museums, and compared them with the silver-eyed murals on the top wall to see the mysteries. With the help of the iron rod lama and the feng shui principles I had mastered, there was basically no obstacle, and with no effort, I was able to combine the maps in the sutra scrolls with the coordinates of the silver eye.
The earliest root of the worship of the eyeballs of the reincarnation sect may be the demon country, after the destruction of the demon kingdom, there are still a lot of disasters in the world, and the reincarnation sect is also gradually dying out in later history, and its unique silver eye ruins are only retained in the Guge King City, if this place is also destroyed, then even if there is a map in the ancient scriptures, the demon kingdom demon tower can not be found.
This ancient scripture, the author and the source can not be verified, only know that a foreign expedition in the twenties and thirties, dug out of a Tibetan scripture cave in Tibet, did not attract attention at first, just sealed in the basement of the museum, and then a manager who is very interested in religion, accidentally discovered this scripture, because the content recorded in it is very bizarre, it has always been difficult to understand, until recent years, with the accumulation of information, it was analyzed that this scripture is likely to record the information of a nine-story demon tower, This demon tower is a tomb, which contains the crystal corpse of the evil god worshiped and worshiped by the demon kingdom, if she is found, it will definitely be a huge discovery in the archaeological world, and the mythical and mysterious history of Tibet's ancient times will also be solved.
After their repeated research, this ancient scripture is very likely to be written by the remnants of the Demon Kingdom, and its credibility should be very high, but the only regret at that time was that although there was a map of the territory of the Demon Kingdom, these mountains and rivers were marked with beasts or gods, which was too different from the map in people's common sense, and it was very old, and the names and symbolism of many mountain ranges and water systems had changed to this day, which made it even more difficult to confirm.
The large murals in the temple of reincarnation are the key to interpreting the ancient tantric feng shui, because the defense position in the painting is extremely accurate, each different color, divine beast, or god, all point to the corresponding direction, with the coordinates of this direction, and then use the ancient and modern maps to compare, even if it can not be as accurate as "dividing gold and setting points", but it is also considered to have a general area, like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The feng shui science handed down from the Central Plains believes that the ancestor of the dragon veins in the world is Kunlun, which is very different from the Tibetan tantric feng shui, but in the final analysis, the essence is still the same, in the tantric feng shui, Kunlun Mountain is described as the land of the phoenix, and the other two major mountain ranges are the land of peacocks and the land of Dapeng birds.
The most important nine-story demon building in the Demon Kingdom is in the Phoenix Shrine, which is described in the scriptures that the Phoenix Palace is a mountain, which is made up of four gems of gold, silver, crystal, and glass in the heavenly realm, and there is a snow-capped mountain on the mountainside, which represents the four guardian gods of the Demon Kingdom.
The Iron Rod Lama said that if Kunlun Mountain is described as a phoenix, it must be in line with the long poem of the martial arts of the world's enemy jewel king, then the location of the Phoenix Shrine, according to the description in the poem, is in the Karamir Pass, the area where green, Tibetan and new meet, and that direction corresponds to the white and silver two for the line mother, white represents the snow mountain, and silver is the glacier.
I told Ming Yi and the Iron Rod Lama about the results of my assessment, the place surrounded by the four peaks, called "Shu Miao" in the Qingwu Feng Shui, called "Dragon Peak" in the dragon hunting formula, can be the backbone of heaven and earth, the ancestral dragon originated from the place, the "situation" is very rare, as long as you can confirm that the approximate area is in the Karamir Pass, plus the assistance of local guides, it is not difficult to find.
Uncle Ming saw that he finally confirmed the location, and hurriedly dragged me aside, took out paper and pen, and before he spoke, I already knew what he wanted to say, I said to Uncle Ming: "Although rest assured, we will never leave you to do it alone, although we have not signed a peace agreement, but I have received two pieces of Runhai Stone as a certainty, the gentleman's promise is with his mouth, and the villain's promise is only with paper, the gentleman will not breach the contract if he does not make a promise, and the villain will still breach the contract if he makes a promise, whether he can abide by the agreement is in the person, not in the paper." ”
Uncle Ming then put his mind at ease, overjoyed, altitude sickness seemed to have decreased, it seemed that he had already held the glacier crystal corpse in his arms, I advised him not to be busy with joy first, this is the first step of the Long March, and when he arrived in Karamir of Kunlun Mountain, it was not too late to dig out the nine-story demon tower and rejoice, before seeing it with his own eyes, who dared to guarantee that the content in the scroll was true and credible, maybe it was someone in ancient times, who was full of food and saved to play.
Shirley Yang took some more photos as a reference material for the future, this time to find the feng shui coordinates of Tantra, it was much smoother than we expected, except for the collapse of the pillar and the wall, making everyone have a false alarm, there are almost no twists and turns, I hope the future journey can be so smooth.
When we went down the mountain, the sun was already slanting to the west, the night on the plateau was very cold, there was no need to rush back at night, so everyone rested in an outpost defense bunker a few miles away from the ruins of the Guge King City, and the guide arranged dinner and butter tea, and then let a few people with poor physique drink a bowl of cold powder, in this natural environment, the most terrible thing is to suffer from a cold, a cold on the plateau, and even life will be in danger. Everyone was exhausted that night, there was no danger here, the wolves had long been gone, so there was no one left to stand guard, two or three people squeezed into an enemy building to sleep, Shirley Yang, Han Shuna, Ah Xiang, these women, slept in the innermost room, and the fat man and I slept in the outermost stone house. After nightfall, we fell asleep one after another, I have never slept at night in all these years, it was better during the day, and at night I had one eye open even if I was dreaming, Shirley Young said that I was "post-war nervous stress syndrome" and needed to take neuro-tranquilizers, and I was afraid that I would become stupid after drinking that medicine, so I never drank it. Just half-asleep, I suddenly heard a series of very small footsteps outside, I immediately opened my eyes, from the watchtower hole sprinkled cold stars and moon light, through these faint light, only to see a black figure, quickly flashed in front of the door.
