Chapter 20: A drastic change in the style of painting
"This is it."
The Taoist priest led the way, and soon came to a dilapidated cave, pointing to the Buddha statue.
The ground beams were covered with cobwebs and dust, and the murals on the walls were so peeling off that it was impossible to see what was painted on them, and the Buddha statue was sitting alone in the corner, sitting cross-legged on a lotus platform.
The only special thing that may be different from other Buddha statues made of wood and clay in the Mogao Grottoes is that this Buddha statue is carved from a single piece of bluestone.
Being able to find the entrance to the secret cave is also **** luck.
Gao Tianxin was the calmest person in the field, including the little A-Ning, who turned on the flashlight and shone it inside.
The hole under the Buddha statue is not big, only one person can enter and exit, and the corners are not neat, it is estimated that it should not be the real entrance of the secret road, but the formation of the earthwork collapse over time.
Wang Fatzi spat on the palm of his hand, stretched into the hole and tried it, and he could actually feel a slight coolness, which showed that there was another vent in the cave, and the air was very refreshing and would not be filthy.
In order to prevent the organ from hurting people, Shirley Yang sent someone to tie a rope ladder, and when she slid down, she climbed down for more than ten zhang, stepped on the ground with both feet, and sent a signal, and the rest of the people followed in.
Gao Tianxin, due to his different identities, hugged A-Ning and walked quite forward, but for some reason, a sense of unease appeared in his heart.
The thoughts flickered in his mind, and after a review of the possible variables, his eyes flickered, but he only protected A-Ning and did not remind anyone.
As long as it is not the end of total annihilation, he has a way to turn the tide, so for now, let's wait and see!
"Sir. Let's go! β
People as calm as Shirley Yang have fiery eyes in front of the huge temptation of the flowers on the other side. And so. When an earth-shattering loud noise suddenly sounded from above, and the entire tunnel shook wildly, everyone was stunned and couldn't react at all.
"Collapse...... Collapsed? β
"What's the matter, that's the gunpowder of Westerners?"
"Damn, it's that Wang Daoist !!"
Renault, who had no one in his eyes, was the first to react, jumped like thunder, and scolded. Shirley Yang and the others could no longer maintain their calm posture, and their faces were pale.
Because even if the passage leading to the secret cave gradually stabilized, they temporarily avoided the tragedy of being buried alive, but the back road has been lost, if there is no other exit ahead, then even if they get the other side flower, it is a dead word!
More tragic deaths!
At this moment, Gao Tian asked coldly, "What is that Taoist's name?" β
Everyone looked at each other, all saying that they didn't know, and only one dragon guard tried to recall: "It seems to be called Wang Yuan." Wang Yuan or something......"
"Wang Yuanji!" Gao Tianxin sighed, sure enough, it was him. As a Taoist priest, he devoted his life to guarding a Buddhist cave and opening the most important door of Dunhuang culture, but he had no choice but to sell Chinese treasures to foreign looters.
Those who know that period of history are bound to scold the dogs, but at this time, the road ahead is more important, and Gao Tianxin began to comfort the people who were almost panicked, and all kinds of flickering proved that there must be another passage in this kind of dense land.
After the sky fell into a mess, and even he himself was about to believe it, everyone finally regained their composure and was full of fighting spirit.
Wang Fatzi patted his chest and said: "His grandmother's, Lao Tzu is also a character who has fought in the sea of corpses and blood, what is this setback." I don't believe it, and I can't find another way. β
With that, he should raise his legs first.
The narrow passage at the foot was about forty zhang long, and soon, a gate carved of white jade appeared at the end, and there were many words carved on the door.
A-Ning watched intently and read it out slowly: "At that time, the Great Brahma King will bring a number of dependents to dedicate the world-honored to the Golden Brahava, and each of them will bow to the Buddha's feet and sit down. At that time, the World-Honored One immediately offered the golden brahwa, raised his eyebrows in an instant, and showed it to the public, silently. There is a broken smile of Ka Ye. The World-Honored Speaker said: I have the Dharma Eye to hide, Nirvana wonderful heart, that is, to pay the instructions to you. Thou shalt sustain and continue. Shikya Ye was enshrined by the Buddha, and the Buddha bowed to the Buddha and retreated ......"
"This is the Sutra of the Great Brahma King Chanting Buddha's Doubts...... Golden Borea, the flower of the other side? β
Those who know how to recognize the heel of this Tibetan Buddhist scripture through Aning's translation, and suddenly find that this sacred object has long been described by the ancients, which increases their confidence.
And Gao Tianxin, Wang Fatzi and Big Golden Tooth observed the surroundings, this passage was built with great care, and the stone slabs on the four walls were as smooth as mirrors, such a style was the most terrifying for the insiders of the Golden Captain, because it was easy to install mechanisms.
"Hey, look at the prince, me!"
Wang Fatzi threw out the rope dart, this thing can usually be used as a weapon, and it can also be used as a pathfinder claw when the bucket is reversed, and after a while, let him poke out a few mechanisms, and when he cautiously walked to the jade gate, he felt tricky again.
It turns out that above this jade gate, there is also a mechanism, which is a quicksand gate.
This kind of door is the main switch of the mechanism, if the door is not opened, everything is normal, and if someone pushes it open, the quicksand hidden in the roof will pour down, filling the room inside.
This is a dilemma, if you don't push the door, you can't get in, if you push the door open, the quicksand will fill the room and passage, and it will end up being buried alive.
Everyone thought hard for a long time, but there was no way, they felt that the air was getting thinner and thinner, their breathing couldn't help but become short, and the color of panic reappeared.
Fortunately, at this time, Gao Tianxin reminded: "Was the mechanism on this door there at the beginning or attached later?" β
Shirley Yang judged: "It's all one, not added later." β
Gao Tianxin smiled slightly: "Then it's very strange, since this door is an organ set up by Li Yuanhao, how did Zhu Di get in later?" β
It can be said that he woke up the person in his dream with a word, and Wang Fatzi patted his head and immediately figured it out.
Gao Ming, worthy of being a professional in the world of tomb robbery!
This jade door is not to look at the exquisite materials and exquisite carving, but in fact it is just a disguise, it is a lure to be fooled, its function is to make people think that it has fallen into the predicament of not being able to advance or retreat, in fact, if you want to enter the Golden Palace, there must be another door.
Thinking of this, Wang Fatzi used a rope dart to knock east and west on the two walls. Sure enough, I noticed that there was a stone slab on the left. The echo that came was hollow.
He gave it a hard push. The stone slab slowly moved back, revealing an extremely large Buddha hall.
There are several everlasting lamps in the hall, and with the light of the flashlight in their hands, everyone's eyes are bright.
It's not a small bright, it's a big one.
It turned out that in the vast Buddha hall, the ground was covered with large gold bricks, and in the hall was enshrined a Dharma body that was about the same height as a real person, and the Dharma body was inlaid with various colored gemstones. At the end is resplendent with thirty-six silver pillars supporting the ceiling.
No matter how rich and noble a person is, I am afraid that he will not be able to see such a luxurious scene, and the flaunting of wealth in later generations is really weak, just the treasures in this palace, I am afraid that they are comparable to the annual income of the Qing Kingdom.
Wang Fatzi whistled and sighed again and again: "It's too extravagant, it's too wasteful, the territory of the Western Xia Kingdom is not big." Is it bad to waste so much money here to improve people's livelihood or strengthen armaments? β
A-Ning pouted: "You don't understand this." Li Yuanhao obviously wanted to emulate the example of 'Gishu to the Lonely Garden', when the prince and a wealthy man of Sheweiguo, in order to invite the Buddha to go to the Dharma, specially built a garden covered with gold leaves covering 80 hectares, and invited the Buddha to give a lecture on the scriptures to show his sincerity. β
Shirley Yang also agreed: "Zhu Di did not empty these treasures for fear of anger"
Renault stared at Gao Tianxin and said teasingly: "Mr. Hu, your concentration is so strong, so many gold, silver and jewelry, they can't even touch your heart." β
Gao Tianxin knew that it might be the two of them who were not moved, and he himself was not moved because he knew that this was a dream, anyway, it was not true, and the reincarnation was not moved by the fact that the gold and silver treasures were all non-appraisal, and they could not bring back the space at all......
But the beautiful words have to be said: "There are rules in the line, and those who do our business must not have too many greedy thoughts and say that they do not take one from the other, and when they enter a tomb, they will only get two bright weapons." β
After Gao Tianxin received a lot of admiration and looked at the two people, he clapped his hands: "Okay, don't talk about it, you look at the giant Buddha in the hall, one hand is holding the magic trick, and the other hand is in the shape of a flower, but there is no flower in the hand, according to the previous Buddhist text, if I expect it to be correct, put the ancient box on the general, you can get the key......"
Almost as soon as the words fell, Renault sneered, and had already snatched the ancient box in Shirley Yang's hand, rose up, and couldn't wait to put it on the palm of the Buddha.
Tyre!
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and my ears were deaf.
Including Gao Tianxin, everyone froze there involuntarily, and there was a grunting sound in their throats.
It was as if there was a violent and ferocious force like a volcanic eruption, squeezing into his head all at once, which was extremely uncomfortable, Gao Tianxin only felt that his whole body seemed to be immersed in ice water, and he almost wanted to shout wildly, and the speed of his heart beat more than doubled in an instant. In an instant, the whole body was numb!
The others were even more unbearable, and as far as they could see, they all fell to their knees, as if they were about to wake up from a nightmare, their features twisted, and blood oozing from their eyes, ears, mouth, and nose at the same time.
Fortunately, as time passed, that feeling gradually subsided, and when the control of the body returned, Gao Tianxin took a deep breath and looked towards the palm of the Buddha, and unsurprisingly found that the ancient box was gone, and in its place, it was a Buddhist gate!
The Buddhist door was very strange, from his point of view, it looked more like a golden door panel, carved with strange textures, and even stained with rust, erected bare on the palm of the Buddha......
"Aning, is there any meaning in this?"
Gao Tianxin subconsciously asked for advice on the small search for A-Ning, but unexpectedly, he was empty-eyed, his eyes were fixed, and he lost his voice: "A-Ning!" β
Man has disappeared without a trace!
In this closed environment, disappear inexplicably!
"The imp went in? Damn it! Renault didn't have time to stand firm, so he staggered, stumbled up the Buddha statue, and gritted his teeth, "If my mission prop is broken by the imp, I'm going to tear her to pieces!" β
When Gao Tianxin heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and when he saw the others staggering back and forth, he hadn't come back to his senses yet, and he suddenly ran out, followed Renault, and entered the Buddha's gate.
This annoying reincarnation can be solved, by the way, dissect his secrets!
Renault didn't know anything, and when the dazzling white light entered his pupils, he was already stunned.
Because the Buddha country in front of me is not the imaginary Buddha country at all, it is a long corridor, with golden doors lined up one after another on the left and right, and the floor is covered with gray and white ancient floor tiles.
Everything looks hollow and weird!
The style of painting has changed drastically!
When I looked back, I found that there was no longer a Buddhist gate behind me, but an empty room.
"Anyway, everything I want is here, hey, kid you want to hide and hide with me? Don't! β
"Anin ββ!"
Renault barely calmed down, rolled his eyes, and shouted towards the corridor, as if using props that imitated sounds, and the shouting was actually ninety percent similar to Gao Tianxin.
But the doors on either side were like rocks in a river, allowing his cries to flow without moving, and the end of the corridor was like a bottomless pit, sucking in all the cries, without spitting out even a single echo......
Where's that little ghost? Behind a certain door?
Renault tried to twist the knob of the first door on the left, but couldn't open the rusty metal door, which seemed to be locked.
He frowned, reached out and grabbed the knob of another door behind him, only to click open,
Renault pushed open the door and appeared in front of him an ordinary and old empty room, even if there was no place to hide in the room, Renault still shouted: "A-Ning! β
No response.
He returned to the hallway and opened another door, which was unlocked, but inside, as before, an empty room.
Renault kept opening the doors in the hallway, constantly searching, but behind each door was the same environment.
After searching for about thirty rooms, I came to the end of the hallwayβthe front was divided into two branches, left and right, with neat, silent doors erected on either side.
"A-Ning!"
"A-Ning!"
"Aning ......"
His voice began to distort and began to grow more and more impatient.
He wasn't a pure fool either, except for the first locked door, every room he inspected was opened by the door and not closed, so that he could see which rooms Renault had searched and which had not.
Before forking in the road, Renault first laid a layer of lime under his feet, and then went to the left, searching room by room, and there was no sign of the child in it, and immediately turned back to another fork.
This carpet search takes a long time, but one door that Renault fears to miss is the room where the child is hiding.
Unfortunately, expectations continue to be disappointed, and the industry has gone through five or six forks in the road, opening more than 100 doors, but to no avail.
"Damn, little brute, don't find it for me!"
When the identical empty room came into view again, Renault angrily punched the wall next to him, and the white wall ash was scattered all over the floor, leaving a small dent in the wall.
His patience has reached the extreme, and his mentality is starting to explode!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He began to bang on the door, and there were still disappointing empty rooms behind the door, but when Renault was about to retreat into the hallway, he noticed something unbelievable-
There was a fist mark on the wall next to it, leaving a pile of white ash on the ground!
Exactly the same as what was left in the previous room......
At the same time, a small shadow flashed in the corner of his eye, and a palm pressed against his shoulder! (To be continued.) )
