Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Divine Stone of the Mysterious Immortal
Professor Dong said excitedly on the side: "It can't be counted like this! It can't be counted that way! In the Tang Dynasty, gold products were relatively rare, and in the Tang Dynasty gold and silver vessels unearthed so far, there has never been such a large golden Buddha, and it can be said that this golden Buddha is a priceless treasure! ”
Ye Lao sighed: "During the period of Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian, the Buddha was worshiped and suppressed, which can be seen from this. In this Daming underground palace, there is a golden Buddha made with so much gold, but there is not even a stone statue of Taoism. ”
"Hmph, I think this Wu Zetian is just worshipping Buddha and suppressing Taoism on the surface, but in fact he believes in Taoism very much, otherwise, how could the magic circle in the entire Qianling Tomb come from the hands of Taoist masters." Ding Laosan suddenly put forward a novel and bold point of view, and even Professor Dong was stunned for a moment.
At this time, Wang Qi also spoke: "Ding Sanye is not unreasonable, in the early Tang Dynasty, there were two great avenues - Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, they had co-authored the book "Tui Bei Tu" with the Taoist hexagram deduction algorithm, this book is the most famous book of prophecy, calculated to the national fortune of China for more than 2,000 years, in which the prophecy is quite accurate, so that the rulers of all dynasties are shocked, and it has always been listed as **. "Tui Bei Tu" once predicted that Wu Zetian would seize the Li family and proclaim himself emperor, and it was precisely because of this prophecy that Wu Zetian was persecuted in his early years, and even had to become a nun. Burdened by Taoism and favored by Buddhism, this may be the real reason why Wu Zetian worships Buddhism and suppresses Taoism, but she still knows the power of Taoism in her heart, so the design of her tomb is still handed over to Taoist masters after all. ”
"The views of the two are indeed worth exploring in depth, Xiao Li, you should quickly write it down, and study it well when you go back." At this time, Li Su was still taking pictures of the Golden Buddha with his camera, and when he heard Professor Dong's instructions, he hurriedly took out a pen and paper and wrote it down.
At this time, Luo Zi suddenly said, "Huh? Where did Lei Ye go? ”
Everyone looked up and saw that Lei Kun was gone. Ding Laosan sighed in his heart, this guy shouldn't be trying to steal something. Thinking of this, he hurriedly said, "Let's go separately and look for it." ”
At this moment, Lei Kun poked his head out of a nearby room: "Don't look for it, I'm here." ”
"Brother Lei, why did he run away alone, in case he ran into any mechanism, he didn't take care of it." Ye Lao said.
"Hehe, I'm just just looking at it, I'm bothering you."
Seeing that Lei Kun did not go far alone, a stone fell to the ground in Ding Laosan's heart, he always felt that this Lei Kun was a little evil, and those who cultivated the art of ghost Taoism would not have a good impression in Ding Laosan's heart.
As the group walked on, the underground palace was indeed large enough, and there were beautiful objects everywhere, and everyone felt dizzying, as if they were visiting a large museum.
Fortunately, perhaps out of avoidance, there were no traps set up in this palace, and there were no encounters with those evil things, and everyone was at ease.
The group walked around in a big circle in the underground palace and came to a small hall, the name of this small hall is somewhat peculiar, called 'Netherworld Palace'.
Professor Dong was very puzzled: "The layout of this underground palace largely refers to the architectural pattern of the Daming Palace in the Tang Dynasty, especially the names of the major palaces, which basically copy the palace names of the Daming Palace, but I have never heard of the Daming Palace called the Netherworld Palace." ”
Ye Lao said: "Maybe it's not recorded in the history books. ”
Ding Laosan smiled: "After all, this is a mausoleum, and it can't completely refer to the place where the living live, and it makes sense to set up an additional 'Netherworld Palace'." ”
Luo Zi asked in a low voice behind him, "What is this Daming Palace?" ”
Li Su replied seriously: "Daming Palace is the forbidden garden of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, and it is one of the most magnificent and largest palace complexes in the history of the world. Daming Palace was built in the Tang Zhenguan period, and the original intention of building was to give the emperor Li Yuan a residence to fulfill filial piety. But before it was completed, Li Yuan passed away, and the construction of Daming Palace also stopped. Later, Tang Gaozong re-expanded it and moved into the Daming Palace to govern, and the Daming Palace became the political center of the Tang Empire. The Daming Palace has a circumference of 7.6 kilometers and an area of 3.2 square kilometers, equivalent to 500 football fields, four times the size of the Forbidden City in Beijing. It's a pity that it was destroyed in the military rebellion in the third year of Qianning. ”
After listening to Li Su, Yu Fei sighed in surprise: "Four times the size of the Forbidden City!" How did such a big palace get into this Qianling! ”
Professor Dong turned around and replied: "This underground palace has been reduced in equal proportions on the basis of Daming Palace, and it is about one-tenth the size of the original Daming Palace. ”
Ding Laosan teased: "Then this can be regarded as a 'Xiaoming Palace', hehe!" ”
As they spoke, they stepped into this 'Netherworld Temple'.
Not only does this 'Netherworld Temple' have a strange name, but also the layout inside is quite special, the floor is paved with black stones, and even the walls are painted with murals painted on a black background, and the murals are all images of rakshasa ghosts. And in the middle of the hall, there is a desk, on which there is a bronze statue of one meter high, the appearance of this bronze statue is hideous and terrifying, and it is very terrifying.
"Damn, there is a sinister atmosphere in this house." As soon as he walked into the 'Netherworld Palace', Ding Laosan felt that something was wrong.
"There's nothing evil in here, be careful." Wang Qi also sensed the abnormal atmosphere.
Everyone else immediately became nervous, and Li Su, who was still shooting around with a camera just now, hurriedly hid in the middle of the crowd, for fear that another fierce ghost zombie would pop out from the side.
At this moment, Lei Kun suddenly stepped forward alone, knelt down in front of the bronze statue and kowtowed respectfully.
"Master Lei, what are you kneeling down for? It's like seeing my own ancestors. Ding Laosan asked.
Lei Kun kowtowed his head nine times before he slowly stood up and said, "This is the 'Nine Nether Gods', and they are one of the most powerful gods in the Ghost Realm. ”
"Hehe, in this way, this god can really be regarded as the ancestor of Lei Ye." Lei Kun cultivates the art of ghost paths, and it is reasonable to worship the gods of the ghost world.
Yu Fei suddenly found that on the desk, in addition to the bronze statue of the 'Nine Nether Gods', there was also a black stone with a strange shape.
"What is this?" Yu Fei asked.
Lei Kun said excitedly: "This is the 'Xuanming Divine Stone'!" Treasure of the Ghost World! ”
"Treasure of the Ghost Realm? Hehe, what are you kidding Lei Ye, just such a black stone is the treasure of the ghost world? Ding Laosan said, and then used his hand to take this 'Xuanming Divine Stone'.
Lei Kun didn't have time to stop it, Ding Laosan had already taken the 'Xuanming Divine Stone' in his hands.
"It's nothing special, this ......" Ding Laosan's voice didn't fall, but he suddenly felt dizzy.
Ding Hao hurriedly stepped forward to support Ding Laosan, but even Ding Hao immediately felt dizzy, and his body began to sway.
