Turn the flashlight to a strong high beam to see the entire first floor.

The area is about half the size of a football field, and the height is at least about 30 meters, based on the time we just walked down the suspended stone steps. That is to say, in the next eight floors, according to the general floor height, the depth of the entire Yongning Pagoda tomb is about 50 meters - this project is really huge.

The Seventh Master said that the Yongning Temple Tower is the greatest Buddhist building in ancient times, and now it seems that what he said is true. More than a thousand years ago, it was only amazing to be able to build a temple tower on such a scale.

We walked from the edge to the center, and now, we have entered the main body of the tomb of Yongning Tower, and judging from the wall, it is indeed a wooden structure as the seventh master said.

We soon walked to the position of the Buddha statue, and the Budai monk bowed down to the Buddha and recited the Buddha's name: "This is the Buddha of the Great Day, also known as the Buddha of Virujana." ”

I adjusted the light of the flashlight to a weak light, and saw that this big day Rulai Dharma body, which was about one foot high, was dressed in a white complexion, and his hands were placed in front of his chest, as if he had pinched a Dharma seal, and his face was solemn.

There is nothing but this Buddha statue on the entire first floor.

"How do you go down?" Liang Ruoyi bowed three times in front of the Buddha and asked softly.

The Budai monk didn't say a word, and walked behind the Buddha statue, and Liang Ruoyi and I hurriedly followed.

Sure enough, as the old monk expected, there was a wooden door on the ground behind the Buddha statue, and when he opened it gently, he saw the passage to the next floor.

I smelled a vague aroma: "Huh? If you're not mistaken, this is camphor wood, right? ”

The old monk nodded: "Camphor wood." ”

"Shall we wait for the Seventh Master?" I asked.

"Don't wait, who knows if they go down or what." Liang Ruoyi shook his head and said, "The seventh master is here with the old clam, and it is not a problem to deal with that toad." ”

I nodded, and walked in after the cloth bag monk. No one noticed, and after a short time of our descent we started, water began to slowly drip on the suspended stone steps in the distance......

According to the normal structure of the temple tower, each floor will be smaller than the previous floor. When we entered the second level, the first thing that appeared in front of us was still a Buddha statue.

However, from the second floor, the height of the entire floor is only about one zhang, and the Buddha statue is much smaller.

I took a flashlight and shone it towards the Buddha statue, and saw that the surface of the Buddha statue was already a little bald, but I could still see that the Buddha had a blue complexion, and his left and right hands were placed on one side, each pinching a different method.

The old monk still chanted in his mouth, folded his hands and bowed three times in front of the Buddha: "This is the East immovable Buddha, also known as the King Kong Immovable Buddha." ”

"Empress Dowager Hu is really a Buddhist believer!" I also followed Liang Ruoyi and bowed three times to the Buddha statue.

"Empress Dowager Hu?" Liang Ruoyi got up and said: "Empress Dowager Hu is even more promiscuous than Empress Lu, otherwise, how could the Buddha punish her?" ”

"Now it is generally believed that tantric monasteries only appeared in large quantities during the period of Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty, but I did not expect that Empress Dowager Hu also established a temple tower of such scale in the north." The Budai monk turned around and shone his flashlight elsewhere.

When I came in just now, I first looked around, and in the darkness around the Buddha statue were rows of horizontal and vertical wooden bookshelves, each of which was more than one person tall and more than half a foot wide.

According to Empress Dowager Hu's preference, Buddhist scriptures should be placed on the shelves. I am very interested in Buddhist scriptures, you must know that ancient Chinese monks have trekked to South Asia many times to learn scriptures, and this thing is definitely worth a copy of it.

I walked behind the cloth bag monk, but I saw that the first row of bookshelves was empty, and there were not a single book on them.

"Huh?" I exclaimed, "Was it taken away by the people before?" ”

As I spoke, I shone a special light with a flashlight, and the dust on the bookshelves was very even, not like a book had been taken away before. In this way, could it be that the bookshelf was empty from the beginning?

"The Han armor was originally a thing of Longyang, and because of years of fighting, there was the blood of thousands of people on the armor, so it had the qi of the yin." Liang Ruoyi stood beside me and muttered: "So in the tomb where Han Jia is buried, there can be no gold, silver and jewelry, because there is an extra gold crown in the tomb of Empress Lu, and the Lu clan is exterminated; The Diao Chan buried in the Forgetful Cliff Beach is just a gorgeous costume, and Cao Mengde in order to prevent Diao Chan and his descendants from getting the throne, he made Diao Chan's belly into a blood baby, thus cutting off Hanjia's Longyang Qi. But this scripture is not a gold or silver jewel, why didn't Empress Dowager Hu put it in it? ”

It's the first time I've heard Liang Ruoyi analyze and tell a story, and I can't help but feel funny: "Weak heart! The deeper the greed, the weaker the heart. ”

How could Liang Ruoyi not know that I was teasing her, so she gave me a blank look and continued to walk towards the bookshelf in front of her.

I shrugged and followed.

In the dark, we used a flashlight to look at more than a dozen bookshelves one after another, and made sure that all the bookshelves here were empty, without exception.

"That's it, let's hurry down to the third floor." Monk Budai looked disappointed, he must have wanted to find a few precious scriptures.

I nodded, turned and walked out.

After five minutes, we completely understood: Empress Dowager Hu had placed such a pile of bookshelves here horizontally and vertically, not to place books, but to create a labyrinth, and we couldn't get out at all!

"Damn! I'm really convinced! I cursed and looked at the countless bookshelves in front of me: "What does this person think, he can still fool people like this." ”

Before I finished speaking, I saw the Budai monk lightly click his feet on the ground, and his body jumped lightly onto a bookshelf in front of him, holding a flashlight and looking at the bookshelves around him.

After a while, the old monk fell down lightly: "The formation is very simple, come with me." ”

I glanced at Liang Ruoyi and followed the Budai monk.

After walking about a few dozen steps, I found that the old monk walked to the left when he encountered an intersection, and when he encountered a horizontal and vertical bookcase, he immediately changed the vertical one to a horizontal one, and walked the road where such a change appeared.

Not to mention, seven or eight minutes later, we walked out smoothly under the leadership of the Budai monk and returned to the Buddha statue of the Buddha of Fudo Nyorai.

"Whew......," I let out a sigh of relief in the darkness, "I can find my way down." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, there was a loud "bang" above my head, as if something was on the first floor.

The three of us looked at each other in the dark, and the cloth bag monk shook his head slightly, looked down carefully behind the Buddha statue, and found the door to enter the next floor, and opened it, revealing the wooden steps that went down.

"Let's go." The cloth bag monk said that he should go down first.

I glanced at Liang Ruoyi and hurriedly followed. The third floor seemed to be a little damp, and as soon as I stepped onto the wooden steps, I noticed that the wooden steps under my feet were a little damp. After walking a few sections, a black shadow suddenly rushed in front of him, and the cloth bag monk almost fell.

"What is this?" The cloth bag monk in front of me seemed to see the black thing clearly, and was stunned for a moment, and continued to walk down.

I subconsciously touched the back of my head, but I didn't feel cold, which means that it is not an evil thing, and I don't know whether to be happy or sad - the evil thing is afraid of me, I am afraid that it is not an evil thing! Shrugged his shoulders and followed the cloth bag monk.
