Chapter 61: Buddha and Tao

Gu Tong and Emma shook their heads at the same time: "This possibility is very small, if it was because of the war, this stupa would not be so well preserved." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Gu Tong said that let's look for it first, and it's best not to let go of any details, maybe we'll find out the reason.

After all, everyone groped on the ground and on the wall for clues, after all, it was the last floor, and if we couldn't find anything, we had to go down.

At this time, the fat man was holding a kettle and drinking water, and I slapped him on the back, and he was choked with water, and his tears almost flowed out, and he was about to break his mouth, and I said, "Can we save some water?" We haven't found a water source yet, so you're just wasting it. ”

The fat man pointed to the wall and said, "I said, if you don't slap me, so much water will already enter my stomach, which..."

Before he could finish speaking, I raised my hand to stop him, pointing to the wall where he had sprayed water, and the fat man almost screamed. Seeing this, everyone also came over, only to see a hideous-looking male face on the wall, almost indistinguishable from a real person, except that the tongue was strangely long, and the head was barely visible where it had been sprayed with water.

Everyone was confused, how could this mural be painted so secretly, and what did this hideous man mean.

The fat man said, "What's so strange about this, it's allowed to have long-tongued women, and it's not allowed to have long-tongued men." In my opinion, this is a long-tongued man. The old man had nothing to do, but he chewed his tongue behind the people, and when he died, he painted it on the painting. ”

I said that just like you, after death is also a perfect image of a long-tongued man, when the time comes, I will also find someone to paint you on the wall, see if you still say it, this place can be called a place of Buddhism, will not paint such a thing for no reason, it must have its meaning, listen to a few experts.

Gu Tong didn't rush to conclusions, just bowed his head and pondered something, Emma said: "The paintings on this wall may have some connection with the map of the Li family, and they are all obvious when they encounter water, so we can at least prove that the drawings of the Li family are from Xiaowan country, the people of Xiaowan country are a nation with a relatively long history, belonging to a branch of the ancient Cypriot people, in the present, the Cypriot people are only left in Tashkurgan, Xinjiang, and they are the descendants of the Cypriots who can be verified, and we have no way of knowing more information about the ancestors of the Cypriots. However, this pagoda full of religious atmosphere, and the people who worship the phoenix, coupled with this strange mural, if you can figure out the connection, maybe it will be a major discovery in history. ”

The fat man said dissatisfiedly: "After talking for a long time, you still haven't told us what this mural means." Emma spread her hands, indicating that she didn't know, and then motioned for us to hear what Gutong had to say.

Seeing that we were all looking at him, Gu Tong said: "Religion is not only a cultural phenomenon, but also a political phenomenon, for the common people, this is a spiritual culture, for the ruling class, it is a kind of spiritual rule for the common people. In order to rule more thoroughly, the ruler created the world after death on this basis, if people live and do not respect the way of the king, they will suffer from purgatory after death, this is spiritual rule, so why do so many people say that religion and politics are inseparable. ”

The fat man then asked, "Even if these are used by the rulers to scare people, then how do you explain that this thirteenth layer is empty?" ”

I suddenly remembered that before this, when we looked at the city from the glass, but couldn't get in, I couldn't help but blurt out: "Mirrors and moons"

Gu Tong nodded and said: "Yes, you can see it, but you can't touch it, to be exact, it's not that you can't touch it, but you must have specific conditions, or a specific person, to be able to touch the water flower, only when you need to judge, or when a special event happens, this person will lead everyone to this mirror attic, and everyone can still see this mirror flower and moon, so as to reach the point of dominating people's hearts." ”

Hearing this, everyone unconsciously looked around, always feeling that they were in danger, but this danger, now they can't see but can't touch, if this place is used for judgment, then what kind of thing must be used to kill the person being judged, in order to kill people in broad daylight, although this place has been abandoned for thousands of years, but those organs are inanimate objects, maybe one of us accidentally touched something, and killed one.

Gu Tong saw the uneasiness in our hearts, so he continued: "In ancient times, between monarchs and ministers, it was very important to pay attention to etiquette, and the ancients often said that the king wanted his ministers to die, and the ministers had to die, so whether this place is being judged or used for other purposes, as long as it is a word from the ruler, there are thousands of ways to hide people's eyes and ears and kill people invisibly, but the strangest thing for me so far is that there is no information about the ruling class. ”

We don't have a lot of water in our hands, so it is impossible to water all the walls of this size, so we can see the murals hidden behind it, except for the huge stone statues on each floor of this stupa. When I saw that there was nothing else, I stood in this tower and looked down on the whole city. I saw that the whole zero city was mixed with the yellow sand, and the outline of the streets of the ancient city was faintly recognizable, looking particularly familiar, like a huge gossip map, and the pagoda in the middle was the yin and yang diagram in the middle.

Emma didn't know when she appeared behind me, and suddenly said, "Master Zou, do you see any clues?" ”

This sudden question, I was shocked at first, thinking that this Nizi and the fat man don't deal with it, why do you still mock me, I didn't offend her, or the old saying, adhering to the grasshopper on the same rope, not with her general knowledge, so carefully look at the surrounding terrain.

I stood beside the bed and said to Emma: "In Taoism, everything in heaven and earth is divided into yin and yang, that is to say, everything exists and has an opposite, the place where the living person is located is called the Yang House, pay attention to sitting in the north and facing the south, put it aside now, that is, the lighting is better, and there is no sun in the west, from a high place, although this is a depression, but there is no lack of dragon and tiger momentum, if it is a yin house, it is a feng shui treasure land, but it is not suitable for the Yang house, the first is the direction, just the opposite, sitting south and facing north, the place where we come in is facing the north seven stars, but as a yin house, But it's just right. However, I think that the first monarch of Xiaowan Kingdom should have known a certain amount of feng shui knowledge, and when building the streets here, he forcibly modified the unfavorable terrain here, and the rift valley we came in should have been chiseled in the later period, so that this place has achieved a very delicate balance of yin and yang. ”

Li Guohua interjected at this time: "Mr. Zou is high, but I still don't know something, according to the habits of the ancients, a generation of emperors will start to build mausoleums on the day they ascend the throne, if the ground here reaches the so-called yin and yang balance, then what kind of scene will it be underneath?" And this ancient city is only so big, after several generations of kings of Xiaowan Kingdom, where is there still a place to build a mausoleum? ”

I spread my hands and said that Miss Duan is an expert in this matter, so you should ask her. Emma continued: "According to what we have seen, Xiaowan was able to build such a huge glass stupa thousands of years ago, and the degree of its technological civilization can be imagined, and it can be chiseled through this huge valley without destroying the limestone above, and it should not be a problem to build a mausoleum underground, and it is not known that there is a huge palace under the yellow sand of the desert." ”

Da Chun said that there have been countless people looking for treasure in the desert, looking for the exquisite ancient country in the desert, the ancient country of Loulan, but because of the characteristics of the mobile desert, countless people have come and returned with excitement, and have never found the remains of the ancient desert city.

If what Gu Tong said is true, since we can enter this ancient city, if we can't find the entrance of the underground palace, we really won't be willing, at this time it is the sun at the head, at noon, the hot sun shines in this city, particularly dazzling, the four walls of the ancient city are heavy glass walls, the reflected light is more intense, and it is very inconvenient to see things. If you look at it from above, you can't see anything from the bottom up, and the ancient emperors really took great pains to create a sense of mystery.

This whole ancient city is like a gossip map, Qian, Zhen, Kan, Gen, Kun, Xun, Li, Dui correspond to the eight sides of the pagoda respectively, a lot of it is shown on the street, there is no next layer, the dazzling light is no longer so strong, the vision will be much better, the direction of this gossip map is a little confused, it should be in the north of the Kan position, but here it is placed in the south, that is, the rear of the ancient city.

On the ground of the ridge is a stone building much higher than the other houses, and when you look closely, it looks like a protruding sand dune.

So far this is the only discovery, we hurried to the front, this place can't tell whether it is a Taoist temple or a temple, there are two stone carved beasts at the main entrance, glaring angrily at the crowd in the middle, no matter how you move the pace will always feel that this beast is looking at yourself, a large amount of yellow sand has been piled up at the door, except for the third, we have a few remaining men, with sapper shovels in the yellow sand to dig out a passage, everyone with gas masks, holding glow sticks in their hands walked in.

This building is very grand, nine is the extreme number in Taoism, there are nine stout stone pillars on both sides of the main hall, between the fifth pillar on the left and right, there is a lotus throne, this thing is a unique thing in Buddhism, there is no in Taoism.
