Chapter 9 The Laughing Buddha Tomb
The person who saw the situation in the main tomb seemed to be frightened, and said in a trembling voice that it was just a few words, what kind of Buddha statue grimaces, and everyone felt puzzled after hearing this, how could there be a Buddha statue in the ancient tomb. One of Hu Wan's apprentices said: "Could it be that the owner of the tomb believed in this thing when he was alive, and put a Buddha statue in the tomb after his death, is it possible?" ”
The other said: "Let your mother's blind fart, we have robbed the tomb for so many years, how have you ever seen a Buddha statue in the tomb, unless you are digging the palace of the king of the Bodhisattva, otherwise it must be a hell." ”
Seeing this, Lao Wu hurriedly stepped forward to persuade the two not to talk nonsense, the most taboo thing in this tomb is to mention ghosts and gods, and if you don't say it, you can say that you want to make trouble.
At this time, Hu Wan stepped forward from behind, took the torch in the hand of an apprentice, walked to the tomb door, looked inside, and then flashed into the tomb. Lao Wu was shocked and thought: "This old man Hu didn't enter the tomb last time, he valued his net worth and life very seriously, and never took risks, why did he enter the tomb by himself without figuring out the situation of the tomb this time, it's still strange." ”
Seeing this, Lao Wu hurriedly followed and wanted to go in, just walked to the tomb door, raised his feet and wanted to step in, and before he could land, suddenly the clothes in front of him were grabbed and pulled him in. Lao Wu didn't understand the situation, took out the short shovel on his waist and held it in his hand to use it as a weapon, and the person unconsciously stepped back, and at this time he heard a very low voice beside him: "Don't move around." Hearing this, Lao Wu didn't dare to move at all, and stiffened his body to look at the surrounding environment.
There is not much space in the tomb, but more than a dozen people can stand, Lao Wu held a torch and saw that there was really a Buddha statue about two meters high in the middle of the tomb, the Buddha statue was rich, and there was a kind smile like Maitreya Buddha on his face, this laughing Buddha statue was very strange in this cold ancient tomb.
Suddenly, the left pants were dragged a few times, Lao Wu hurriedly looked down and saw that it was Hu Wan, the old man was squatting next to Lao Wu and making a squatting gesture to him, Lao Wu was a little stunned at the moment and squatted down according to Hu Wan's meaning, and whispered to Hu Wan: "Hu Ye seems to be wrong, this doesn't seem to be a tomb, where are we entering?" ”
Hu Wan lowered his head and pointed to the Buddha statue in the middle of the tomb with a gloomy face, and said, "I want to know where this is?" Just look at the Buddha statue one more time. ”
Lao Wu had already seen it very clearly just now, and at this moment, he slowly raised his head in the direction of Hu Wan's finger, and saw the face of the Buddha statue all the time. At this glance, he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, his lips were white and his hair was trembling but he couldn't speak, and his feet were soft and he was about to sit on the ground.
The Buddha statue that was originally full of smiles turned dark blue at the moment, staring at them with two blood-red eyes staring at them deadly, and the expression was extremely terrifying, as if it was going to tear them alive. Lao Wu was unprepared to see this scene, his heart stopped beating for several seconds, his feet were weak, and he couldn't squat anymore and was about to sit back.
Hu Wan grabbed Lao Wu with his backhand and didn't let him sit down, and said to Lao Wu with a smile: "How dare you be a tomb robber?" A laughing Buddha mound will scare you into paralysis, there is a mechanism behind you, if you sit down just now, we will all have to finish playing, don't move again. ”
Lao Wu didn't have Hu Wan's courage and calmness, so he had to say to Hu Wan: "Why is this Buddha statue of Hu Ye looking at us, it's too cautious, why don't you leave quickly." "With that, I used my hands and feet to crawl out.
Hu Wan reached out again and grabbed Lao Wu's clothes and pulled him back, grabbed Lao Wu's neck with his arm, held him down and scolded: "Where are you going?" I found out that your turtle grandson wants to run every time he enters the tomb, why are you so damn so small, you are about to see the Ming weapon, you actually want to run, tell you that the floor tiles near us are full of mechanisms, and if you step on the wrong place, you will be in a different place. ”
Hu Wan really wasn't scaring Lao Wu, the ancient tomb they entered was a very rare laughing Buddha mound. After Buddhism was introduced to China at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, it flourished during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and later came to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, when the politics were dark and the times were turbulent. For more than 300 years in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the regime changed rapidly, and the usurpation was frequent, so the politics were chaotic and the people were not able to make a living; Coupled with foreign invasions, the lives of the people were miserable and the people's lives were hard. Ordinary people could not find a way out in real life, but turned to religion to seek solace in their souls, so various religions were very popular, and Buddhism arose in this context.
Tomb robbing was rampant during this period, when a skilled craftsman created a hellish mechanism for tomb robbers, known as the Laughing Buddha Tomb.
Legend has it that the tomb of the Laughing Buddha is different from the previous burial method, the coffin of the tomb owner and the burial goods are buried under the tomb, and traps are installed in the walls around the tomb, and the trigger device is some raised bricks on the ground, and a tall laughing Buddha statue is placed in the center of the tomb.
The face of the smiling Buddha statue has a dense small round ball, the surface of the small round ball is painted with a lot of colors, the position of each small round ball and many colors on it are exquisite, the first sight of the Buddha statue after entering from the tomb door, from the front that it is just an ordinary laughing Buddha statue, when the light and angle change, then you will see the color of the side of the small round ball, the Buddha statue will produce the effect of changing the face, according to the position at the time to see the face will be different.
When a tomb robber enters the tomb from the tomb door, the first thing to see is only a smiling Buddha statue in the center of the empty tomb, this strange scene will make the tomb robber very puzzled, when walking into the tomb because of the change of angle, the facial expression of the Buddha statue will also change, and in an instant from the benevolent Buddha to the fierce Yaksha or the appearance of a cautious ghost.
Some novice tomb robbers enter the tomb and tremble in their hearts, if they see the Buddha statue that suddenly changes their faces, they will be scared to death, and the bolder ones will be shot into hedgehogs by poisonous arrows because of the frightened footsteps, this kind of tomb organ is extremely effective, even experienced tomb robbers have to be hit, it was popular for a while at the time, and then the craftsman died The secret of the laughing Buddha tomb no one knows, and it is lost.
Hu Wan knows a lot about these things, he felt that it might be a laughing Buddha mound from the beginning of hearing that there was a Buddha statue in the tomb, until he saw it with his own eyes to be convinced, just at this time Lao Wu also came in, Hu Wan wanted Lao Wu to dig up the ground to take the Ming device, who knew that Lao Wu was frizzy and irritable several times and almost stepped on the mechanism to give Hu Wan a cold sweat, and finally gave Lao Wu control not to let him move, just wanted him to dig the ground, and heard a few gunshots from the tomb entrance.
Lao Wu and Hu Wan were stunned when they heard the gunshots, and then they thought that something was wrong outside, so they dodged the raised bricks and walked out of the tomb.
Hu Wan's three apprentices were lying on the ground, their heads bleeding from guns. At this time, another person came down from the entrance of the tomb, and the person who came was none other than Tang Songming, who invited Hu Wan to rob the tomb.
After Tang Songming came down, he asked his subordinates to put down their guns, walked to the front with a coat on his body and a cigarette in his mouth, and said to Hu Wan with a smile: "Master Hu, you really don't have the ability to cover it, you can enter the tomb in such a short time, I really admire it." By the way, I won't let you do the rest of the physical work of the moving device, and I can't help me enough if you help me with such a big favor, right, I'll give you a good time. After speaking, he took out a box gun from his waist and put it on Hu Wan's head.
