Chapter 859: Hanging coffin in the burial chamber

In the end, the Xijing Political Yuan had no choice but to seal up the Fayuan Temple, and all these golden-bodied Buddhas were taken to the forensic medical examination of the corpses, and it was really found that these people were missing beggars, homeless, and refugees, which means that the monks of the Fayuan Temple, under the cover of the Golden Buddha, harmed no less than twenty or thirty lives.

Because of the large number of lives involved and related to Buddhist temples, the Xijing authorities forced the monks to return to the laity and sentenced them to death by hanging.

Since then, this kind of artificially created golden Buddha has gradually become extinct.

After Xu Xiake finished telling this story, he continued: "Sometimes, being created as a golden Buddha may not be the meaning of these people, but someone has done evil, looking at the traces of their wounds, most of them were pierced through the body from the tail vertebrae, and died by sitting on a stake. ”

Needless to say, most of these people were selected by the Jin people and reluctantly became the human embryo of the Golden Body Buddha.

Song Siyuan interjected: "The problem arises here, only the great monk who has made the golden body Buddha can play a role in praying for blessings, the people of the Jin country do not believe in Buddhism, but also use the lives of innocent people to make the golden body Buddha, is the purpose just to make a show?" I think that these golden-bodied Buddhas seem to be covering up something, and the people of the Jin Kingdom made this, probably to remind later generations that the lotus platform is the organ. ”

After speaking, everyone looked at the bamboo shoots and copper pillars on the lotus platform, Yue Guanchao picked up the kettle, and tore off the cloth from the treasure tent at will to wet it, and the thousands of years of dirty blood were scrubbed clean with the copper pillar, and the lines on the surface of the copper pillar gradually became clear.

The whole bamboo shoot copper pillar is about half an arm's length, like a sharp cone, the tip is like a human little finger, the widest part is like an arm, the surface is sealed inside the corpse, there is no oxidation and discoloration, from the root is covered with lotus petal carvings, this pattern is like fish scales, completely covering the surface of the copper cone, and its shape can be seen at a glance.

As for the root of the copper cone, it is obviously painted with the same Buddhist mythological figure, Song Siyuan looked at the flashlight to shine past, this figure has a slightly white body, wearing colorful clothes and armor, holding a pipa, the streamer is flying, the treasure is solemn, and the divine majesty.

She said slowly: "This seems to be the four heavenly kings of Buddhism, also known as the four protector kings, who are the protector gods of Buddhism and the protection of the world, mainly for the king of the country in the east, the king of growth in the south, the king of wide-eyed in the west, and the king of many things in the north. ”

"Looking at the images in front of us, most of them are the kings of the country."

After speaking, she raised her head and explained to everyone: "These four heavenly kings are actually the four protector gods, which are mostly displayed in the temple of the heavenly kings, used to protect the Dharma, the temple, the people, and the world, which is equivalent to saying that they are the biggest gate gods in the four worlds. ”

Song Siyuan continued: "Then, our guess may be true, this tomb has four towers, if our current tower is the pattern of the Heavenly King of the Holding Kingdom, and the other three towers are most likely the patterns of the other three Heavenly Kings, this copper cone is likely to be a certain mechanism." ”

Yue Guanchao held the copper pillar, not moving at all, neither pulling it out nor turning it: "Hey, if it's a mechanism, at least it should be able to move." ”

Sun Daqiao walked near the lotus platform, looked at the cone on his waist, realized that there was oil near the cone, and immediately his eyes lit up: "Perhaps, this is a lotus lamp, there is an ancient lamp and the ancient Buddha offered the eyelashes to get the throne, maybe, maybe the cone is a wick." ”

Yue Guanchao carefully observed, the top of the spike is indeed not closed, you can see some shiny things, just now, they thought it was the reflection of the copper cone, now look, probably the copper pillar is hollow, he picked up the fire fold, directly close to the top of the copper pendant spire, only to see that the flame was affected by the breath, and immediately lit the light tip cone from the fire fold.

However, between breaths, the copper pillar ignited a fiery red flame, this flame was red and yellow, and three colors appeared from the inside to the outside, red and yellow burned in the center, and the outer flame was blue and blue, burning very violently at the top of the sharp cone.

Click, click, click, under the scorching flames, the pointed cone copper pillar has been seen to start turning, like a mechanism in disrepair, turning extremely difficult, and after the flame burns a tea time, the speed of the copper pillar has accelerated significantly, and gradually from being able to see the lotus fish scales, it has become blurred.

The flames, also rotating rapidly, leaned on the light and shadow clones many times, and it looked as if there was a red and yellow mottled fire lotus suspended on the top of the copper pillar.

As the fire lotus turned, the lotus petals on the lotus seat also began to rattle, and they retreated to the staircase at the corner of the platform for fear of hurting themselves.

With the sound of clicking, the upper and lower lotus petals are completely separated from the state of slightly closed, and the lotus flower begins to rotate with the copper cone, and the speed is getting slower and slower, and the bottom of the tower pillar where the tower is located, the sound of booming opening and closing can be clearly heard.

"The rain of copper thorns and iron outside seems to have stopped?"

Standing at the corner of the stairs, they could see through the window that the details of the copper thorn iron rain were weakening, from tumbling to sparse, only the golden rainbow lantern was still flickering, and a copper ball was falling from time to time.

Song Siyuan explained: "Then, this mechanism is right, probably something that can have an impact on the mechanism overhead, which is why these copper balls and iron rain began to weaken, but I think the mechanism is probably not completely closed, if it is completely closed, probably the iron rain will stop completely." ”

"Let's go down and have a look." Yue Guanchao walked down the stairs around the pillar of the tower, it can be seen that there is a one-person high doorway on the surface of the pillar, and there are countless gear copper springs that shout and turn upwards, and when you look down, you can see the stairs extending downward.

After such a while, everyone had already walked down the stairs one after another and came to him.

Yue Guanchao took them into the Taxin Gate Cave, went down the stairs to the flat ground, and shone the flashlight forward, and it was obvious that there was a deep tunnel in front of them, and after a few people walked out of fifty meters, a cylindrical iron curtain appeared at the end of the tunnel, and around the iron curtain, it can be seen that three different tunnels are also distributed in different directions of the iron curtain.

Song Siyuan said according to the situation in front of her: "Most of these tunnels lead directly to other que towers, extending from the direction we came in to the diagonal, probably another que tower located behind. ”

"But, what's the point of these Que downstairs going underground, and I don't see any way out."

Song Siyuan didn't wait for Yue Guanchao's words, and knocked on the iron curtain at the junction of the four corridors: "Probably, only when the four rosette lamps are fully lit can we see the passage, according to the distance we walked and the location of the palace, we are probably located under the palace." ”

Her words were already explicit, and Yue Guanchao guessed: "You mean, this iron curtain is a passage. ”

Yue Guanchao looked at the iron curtain in front of him, judging from the length and width he saw, it could indeed accommodate components such as stairs, that is to say, after the rosette lamps were lit, this could see the passage.

"Let's split up, each of you will find two or three people to go to different towers, and light the lotus lantern completely, while the rest of you will wait in place."

After Yue Guanchao finished speaking, he and the people led by Sun Tianqi divided the team and took them to different towers, and after about half an hour, they returned to their places one after another.

As the rosette lamps of the four towers were lit, the iron curtain in front of them was constantly retracting into the ground, and in the rumbling sound, the spiral ladder could already be seen emerging from the iron curtain.

When the Iron Curtain was lowered below the ground, everyone finally saw the structure of the hanging ladders, which mostly hung down from the top with two iron cables, and it was visible that a wide wooden board was lined with iron cables from top to bottom, and the iron ropes could be climbed to the top.

Yue Guanchao illuminates the flashlight, and not far from where the iron cable is fixed, there is an iron plate one meter square, and here, most of the people can go up directly.

"I'll go up and have a look."

Yue Guanchao grabbed the iron cable, stepped on the wooden board up and down the dislocation, and climbed from the ground to the top, and then, constantly testing the square iron plate with his hands, until he found that he could push it away, and then turned the iron plate upwards in one go.

After the iron plate was turned over, a layer of dust was raised from the ashes, and Yue Guanchao waited for the dust to fall, slowly climbed up to the entrance of the iron plate cave, and saw that it was a tunnel inside, which was a little relieved.

After going down, he explained: "According to my observations, there is a tunnel on the iron plate, probably leading to the tomb palace, and when we enter, it will either be the tomb chamber of the tomb palace, or the other burial chambers of the tomb palace. ”

Yue Guanchao told them about the situation, and everyone stepped on the iron ladder one after another, and when they all went up to the iron plate cave, they slowly closed the iron plate.

When there were more people, the light of the flashlight gradually illuminated the surroundings, and the tunnel was all made of iron and stone, and countless bricks were piled up in different layers, guiding them to the front.

The tunnel was shorter than they had expected, almost only ten meters away, and they had not taken a few steps before they saw the round arch hole.

After stepping out of the door, the space in front of you is the main burial chamber of the tomb palace.

As mentioned earlier, this tomb palace is both a palace and a burial chamber, and it is considered to make reasonable use of the palace in the middle, and their location is located at the gate of the tomb palace.

At this moment, the interior scene of the tomb palace is slowly spread out in front of everyone's eyes by the light of the flashlight.

In the tomb, according to the pattern from the center to the periphery, it is divided into five parts: coffin, burial platform, burial pit, water galaxy, and Huangquan bridge, and the tomb is full.

Their location is the port in front of the Huangquan Bridge, and from here, you can see three different white jade bridges, which are distributed on the water galaxy in the shape of "claws".

The whole river is long and wide rectangular, completely wrapping the edge of the burial chamber, and the four corners are dug a ditch towards the center, with the circular burial platform in the center as the center of the circle, implicating the swastika-shaped river channel.

Between the four cantilever arms is the burial pit full of figurines, which displays all kinds of funeral figurines, mostly maidservants, eunuchs, guards, sedan chair men, cooks, miscellaneous servants, almost the copy of the paper figure in the courtyard, the pottery figurines are colorful and vivid, and the shape is like a living person being stored in the half-height burial pit.

After bypassing the burial pit, there is a circular burial platform in the center.

This burial platform is about the same size as the ten-step long roof, with stairs facing up on all sides, and you can see the jade white carved railings surrounding the platform, like a huge stand.

The concubine's coffin was located on the burial platform, but the coffin did not fall to the ground, as if floating in the air.

Some people died, but not completely......
