Chapter 981: Hanging Flying Temple
She had heard Ban Wan mention these ghost people in front of the mycelium flower tree, and their residual breath would not disappear in a short time, if Ban Wan couldn't feel the breath of these people, it meant that something must be wrong.
Ban Wan nodded, and her tone became mysterious: "Well, according to Ah Xi's situation, the residual aura of the ghost people can remain for decades, and it will not disappear completely until it continues to decay after a few decades, and there are only two possibilities for this situation." ”
She then cleared her throat and continued to explain the two most likely scenarios: "One, the ghost people have been dead for more than a hundred years, and they have disappeared before we came, and their residual aura has completely disappeared under natural decay, so that I can't feel anything at all. ”
"Second, there is a more powerful consciousness that directly erases all the breath and consciousness of the ghost people, and we can't feel it, because the breath of these ghost people has been completely erased as early as the moment they disappear."
Yue Song and the others listened carefully to Ban Wan's speculation and analyzed the current speculation.
Let's start with the first scenario, the ghost side people have disappeared for more than a hundred years, which is basically unlikely.
According to Tan Yanqiu's introduction, the time when Ah Xi appeared was about forty years ago, when she was already twenty or thirty years old, which means that the ghost Fang people must have been still alive sixty years ago, even if the ghost Fang people and Ah Xi disappeared in the same period, they would definitely not disappear for more than fifty years.
In this way, the state and time of these places are only forty or fifty years at most, and the time of a hundred years is completely incompatible, if the breath of Ah Xi still exists, it makes no sense that the place where the ghost people live, there is no trace, they cannot have disappeared for a hundred years, there is a high probability that something happened to them.
In the second case, the ghost people encountered a stronger consciousness.
This one is entirely possible, they have found the corpse of the giant in the process of coming, and at the same time, they have also found that the genes of all species are being changed, and even go in the direction of degradation, if the ghost people also begin to degenerate, it means that they have lost control of the ghost world.
With this big premise, they pondered the second possibility, and they already had a chill in their backs, perhaps, the stronger consciousness that Ban Wan said was referring to the mysterious "character" who made the ghost people lose the initiative.
Song Siyuan glanced at everyone and said thoughtfully: "Combining the two situations, is it a stronger consciousness than the ghost people, causing all the ghost people to disappear, and then, all their breath is also wiped out, this incident also marks that the ghost people have lost control of the ghost world." ”
"Possibly."
Yue Qingshan's eyebrows twisted the word "Chuan", and said: "We looked at this way, the ghost people disappeared too hastily, and at the same time, they didn't leave any breath, which already proves that they disappeared very strangely, and we all know the situation found on the road, and I don't talk anymore, according to the current situation, that powerful consciousness is not a giant, or something left by a giant." ”
Yue Guanchao nodded and said, "Well, we also have this idea, since these villages can't find the situation, we might as well go to the stone wall and take a look, there may be clues in those buildings." ”
To no avail, they had to come out of the village and go to the nearest stone wall.
Yue Guanchao glanced at the direction they came out, which happened to be located in the south of the basin, and when he got out of the village, he began to rush to the stone wall closest to them.
Walking through the forest and through the bushes, they walked for about miles, cramping their legs and feet, until they reached the vicinity of the rock wall.
Yue Guanchao stood under the stone wall, looked up at the overhanging wall buildings, these buildings have the beauty of ancient pavilions, the palace is mostly built of pillars and beams, the gray tiles and birds gather at the top, the brick and stone rammed earth walls are strict, even the corridor is carved with huge thick wooden red pillar carved windows, and the balustrade and platform are colorful carvings, as if they are suspended temples that fall into the shrubs, which appear to be extremely finely carved.
It's just that, even though it is exquisite, there is always a sense of suspension that the building is hundreds of feet high, as if it can collapse and fall from the cliff at any time. They stood so close to the precipice, their heads trembling even more, they wanted to flee at any moment, and in general, they felt a sense of oppression that did not belong to the exquisite pavilion.
"Can this thing stand up to people's movements?" Yue Guanchao put down the binoculars, squinted his eyes and sighed.
Song Siyuan seemed to know this very well, and said: "It's okay to leave, this is an ancient mechanical application, called half-inserted beams." ”
"Do you know the Hanging Temple in Datong, Shanxi? This temple is the same as the overhanging building in front of you......"
Song Siyuan said that this hanging temple, used to be called "Xuankong Pavilion", is a mixed religious complex of Buddhism and Taoism, the word "Xuan" in the Xuankong, is from the Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Tao, as for the word "empty", it is from the Buddhism to preach the four major emptiness, empty line pure land of righteousness, later, the nearby people will change the Xuankong Pavilion to the Xuankong Temple, in order to secretly fit the peculiarity of this temple.
It can be said that the strange thing about this temple is the word "hanging".
Although some of the other temples were built in the mountains, most of them were flat on the top of the mountain or on the gentle slope of the mountainside, but this temple is very special, built on a cliff dozens of meters above the ground, and is the first temple on the cliff in ancient and modern times.
The whole hanging temple is the layout of "one courtyard and two floors", the length before and after is about 30 meters, the whole temple pavilion hall has a total of 40 rooms, the highest place is the top pavilion of the hill at the end of the north and south, these two pavilions look at each other from north to south, like the eagle wings flying in the air, majestic and towering, climb the tower and overlook, such as facing the abyss.
Since it is said that it is also a mixed religious complex of Buddhism and Taoism, it is certainly not the style of a family, in the overall layout, there are both Buddhist temples and meditation rooms, Buddhist halls and Buddha halls, as well as Taoist Guandi Taiyi, Chunyang three religions.
These buildings are surrounded by corridors and waists, the palaces are connected, the plank road is flying pavilion, the stairs are scattered, there are rock formations up and down to block, the wind can be blocked in winter, the sun can be shaded in summer, it seems to be suspended in the cliff, it has been beaten by the wind and rain for nearly a thousand years, and it is still as solid as ever.
Later, it was discovered that the secret of this building can still exist after thousands of years of wind and rain, lies in these supporting pillars of the temple!
As early as the beginning of the construction of these buildings, the construction craftsmen have already selected the cliffs, these cliffs just recess into the mountain, forming several stone platforms on the cliffs, and then, the craftsmen use the mechanical foundation of the half-inserted beams to chisel square grooves on the rock layers, and then completely fix dozens of wedge-shaped pillars into the grooves, and then fan the stone strips, so that it is equivalent to establishing a wide and solid plane on the stone platform.
After that, all the buildings of the Hanging Temple can rely on this plane and sit firmly on these stone platforms, and in order to make the best use of the space of these stone platforms, the craftsmen continued to dig deep into the mountain wall inside the cliff when building the temple, and dug out more mountain space inward to accommodate the temple.
In this way, when viewed from the outside, the Hanging Temple is indeed very hanging, as if it can collapse from the cliff at any time, but as long as you walk into it, you can find that the interior has been hollowed out, forming various buildings.
The part that is exposed to the outside, with the support of the beam frame, is firmly located on the cliff, and the corridor between the halls, the railings, the plank road, the flying pavilion and the beams and columns are closely connected into a very stable wooden frame structure, which seems to be about to fall, but is actually as stable as Mount Tai.
Song Siyuan picked up the binoculars: "I guess that the hanging wall building we see is the same as this hanging temple in Shanxi, the part we see only occupies one-third, and the remaining two-thirds have all been embedded into the mountain. ”
"That hanging temple can stand for a thousand years, which shows the subtlety of the half-inserted beam structure."
She paused, and her eyes seemed to be pointing: "The most important thing is that the Hanging Temple in Shanxi was built by the craftsmen of the Northern Wei Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. ”
"That proves that these buildings are likely to have been brought by the Beifu soldiers during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and there may be clues to the clothes and mounds of the Beifu in them."
