Zhizheng's narration:

It was still in the mid-90s of the last century, when I had just transferred from the army, and when I was going through the formalities at the local armed forces department, I was transferred by a secret order from the old chief, and I was asked to go to Dunhuang to temporarily protect the safety of an investigation team. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The reason why info chose me was that in addition to the consideration of my resume, he also said that I am not in the military now, and I have no other official identity for the time being, which is suitable for this special task of secrecy level. I didn't ask too much, so I took a satchel and went.

I first met the winger in a small guest house in a remote geological team in Dunhuang, and he was not the director of the 749 bureau at that time. Just the general person in charge of this task. As a security officer, I was one of the first to arrive. After that, there were Buddhist experts Venerable Xingduan and Venerable Xincheng, Professor Huang Jiuling of the Institute of Gongmei, Lin Dajun of the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and Dr. Du Xuanyuan and his wife Zhuo Yingying from the Mianyang Ninth Academy. Some also brought their own deputies. I'm in charge of security, and I have three other people with a similar background to me. There were twenty people in this squad, no more, no less.

Similar missions, previously in the special forces, participated in some, the first criterion is: don't ask more. It wasn't until the first plenary meeting, when the winger as the captain announced, that the "Mogao 331 Expedition Team" was officially established, and everyone received their own tasks, that we knew what to do.

The Mogao Grottoes were discovered very early and have also experienced various catastrophes and changes. Forty-nine years later, the resumption of restoration and research has basically been thoroughly explored. Some places have been opened as tourist attractions. 331 Cave is not popular for sightseers, everyone runs to see the reclining Buddha, see the nine-colored deer king Bunsen of 257 Cave. 331 was built in the early Tang Dynasty, there is only the Oriental Medicine Master Sutra Painting, listen to the introduction of the editor-in-chief Lin, the Sutra Variation Painting is the Buddhist Sutra Story Comic Strip, illiterate people, look at the painting is also taught. The theme of the Oriental Medicine Master is the most common in all the seven hundred and thirty-five caves. There are more changes than the Amitabha Sutra, the Maitreya Sutra, and the Sutra of Amitayus. In this sense, the 331 Cave is not very special.

Ten days ago, the patrol members on night duty found that the entrance of the 331 cave was flickering, thinking that someone had sneaked in, and went up to check it, and they were startled. There are no signs of life in the cave, only a "blue window" on the mural, which slowly fluctuates, exuding an undulating glow. It's not so much a "window" as a thin wave of water from a waterfall. A patrol member was bold enough to reach over, and he actually penetrated the "window" directly, and when he took it back, he had an extra finely made brush in his hand, and the stone blue paint on the pen had not yet dried!

The "window" seemed to be disturbed, fluctuated violently, and quickly disappeared as if it had never appeared. For some reason, the team member fainted on the spot. The rest of the people carried him to the infirmary, where the diagnosis was not frightened, but exhausted. It took three days to regain his senses. When he woke up, he swore firmly that the pen was not "picked up" by him, but "pulled" from someone "outside the window", and he could still recall the other party's power of hesitation and resistance.

At the meeting, the winger took out a sealed lead bucket and took out a rectangular vacuum plexiglass box from it for everyone to see. Inside lay a rustic brush, the paint on the tip of the nose already dry. Everyone looked at each other and was silent. No one rushes to conclusions. The winger cautiously put the box back in the lead bucket and resealed it. Only then did he say to everyone: "The three and three caves, the patrol members, and this pen all have a slight radiation exceedance. No radioactive material was found at the site, and the remaining radiation dose was slowly decaying every day. Restlessness began to ripple through the silent crowd, and the team members were talking. "Don't worry, we have enough radiation protection. Isn't it? Dr. Du. Du Xuanyuan sat in the last row and nodded slightly, "It's enough to deal with this known level." I feel that what he means is that the unknown also needs to be prevented. But he didn't say it, probably for fear of causing panic. I feel that this person is thoughtful and can take the overall situation into account, and compared with other common scientists with a bad temper, he can be regarded as popular and authoritarian. Quite rare.

The instructions given to the wingers above are not complicated, to put it simply, it is to thoroughly investigate the 331 cave.

The next day, all the members of the expedition team set off to Mingsha Mountain, and 20 people plus some scientific research equipment formed a small convoy. After arriving at the site, it was found that the Mogao Grottoes Management Committee, in order to facilitate the investigation, had temporarily closed to tourists on the grounds of routine restoration. With Cave 331 as the center, within a radius of 50 meters, I led the other three veterans to be in charge of the guard, and the periphery was still handed over to the patrol team of the management committee. It can be seen from the semi-automatic weapons distributed to the hands that the above still attaches great importance to this line.

In the next few days, the team members were divided into research groups, took turns to put on military-grade nuclear protective clothing, and went into the cave to investigate in turn. Unfortunately, none of the breakthrough discoveries were made. Only Huang Jiuling, a master of arts and crafts who is not valued by scholars, found the same stone blue pigment in the mural as the composition of the brush, which is the only harvest.

On the seventh day, an X-ray machine was set up in the 331 Cave, and the footage showed that there was only sand behind the walls, and there was nothing like a hidden room. The mural itself has only a few modified layers, overlapping and overlay, all of which belong to the normal category. The expedition reached an impasse.

From the eighth to the tenth day, the scientists, who had always been based on facts, were a little wilted. Only Venerable Xingduan, who later became my master, and Venerable Xincheng, the abbot of Longquan Monastery who was here, had a very heated debate, but unfortunately, most of the other people did not understand the concepts they quoted, and occasionally they could understand some of them, and they felt that they were too idealistic to convince everyone.

Xincheng was not satisfied with this misinterpretation, interrupted Zhizheng's recollection, and began to relay the narration:

See smiled. Actually, my views and directions are basically similar. It's just that he is accustomed to using a large number of classical scriptures to argue, and I am more accustomed to using modern concepts to corroborate, and inevitably, there will be a dispute over whose words are more accurate. Thinking about it now, at that time, I was still too entangled in details, and even deviated from the purpose of the investigation.

In a nutshell, I tend to say that it was a natural pulsed magnetic cloud formed by chance, small in scale, but large enough to decompose a small object, such as a brush, from the off-site to the present and then to the original form. This "other place" may not be far away, it may be a corner of the 331 Cave that has been ignored by later generations, or it may simply be mixed in when the mural was bottomed and sealed with mud thousands of years ago. You may have heard of this theory from the "Philadelphia Experiment" that was all the rage.

And the line is inclined to say that Sumeru mustard seeds. This brush exists in a mustard seed space, if Shaming Mountain is compared to the huge Sumeru Mountain in the Buddhist scriptures, this small outer space like rapeseed happens to open up a wormhole in the 331 Cave. Let the patrol inadvertently reach in and take its collection.

Of course, our arguments lack sufficient support and can only be recorded in the memorandum of the investigation log, which is not considered conclusive. Until the eleventh day, a huge accident broke the deadlock......

Seeing that Xincheng stopped, the winger began to close his eyes and recite the Buddhist scriptures silently, so he took the initiative to take over the conversation and continued to tell the "virtuous":

As the leader of this team, my biggest concern is not that I can't solve the mystery, but that the personal safety of all the members. After all, these people, most of whom are academics, have no experience in dealing with extreme situations and have not undergone the necessary survival training. As it turned out, this worry was not unnecessary.

On the eleventh day, after communicating with the above, we were allowed to withdraw from the team. The investigation report of this incident was sealed in the 749 Bureau as one of the many unsolved incidents. When the order was issued, it was already afternoon, and everyone had not rested well for many days. Most of the people were a little excited when they heard that they were going home. They packed their bags, packed their equipment, and prepared to leave with the convoy early in the morning of the twelfth day.

However, in the evening of that day, something happened. The days here are relatively short, and it is only after 6 p.m. and it is completely dark. Dr. Du, who was seconded from the Ninth Hospital of Mianyang, and his family were still splitting the X-ray machine in the 331 Cave, seeing that they were weak, the security team called a skilled veteran to help. Everyone else was almost packed up and began to take a group photo under the entrance of the 331 cave. Some were responsible for lighting the lights, and some were responsible for moving chairs, and the scene was very lively. Editor-in-chief Lin was in charge of fiddling with the camera, urging everyone to hurry up, saying that there was a dark cloud behind the mountain, and I was afraid that it would rain. was teased by others, in this realm, the probability of rain is smaller than that of RMB.

Before the people could stand up, they heard an exclamation behind them, and the screams were so loud that everyone's hairs stood on end! This cry came from the 331 Cave, not one person, but the voices of three people at the same time!

Everyone hurriedly rushed to the entrance of the cave, and those who ran at the front were all skilled or cultivated, such as Zhizheng, me, and Venerable Xincheng. We were the first to enter the door and saw a scene that we will never forget.

In the 331 Cave, before the Oriental Pharmacist changed the painting, a wave of blue light was slowly devouring Dr. Du and his wife, and the security guard who came to help desperately dragged their arms back, and the light exploded instantly, pulling all three of them into their bodies. Then, it quickly reverses and shrinks, like a dried water mark, disappearing from the mural.

The whole process takes only four or five seconds. Leaving only stunned bystanders, unsure of how to answer the panicked questions of others who came running in one after another.

That wall, that wall. That painting, still that painting. Those who once stood, as if they had never been there, left this world completely. I didn't have time to wave my hand, and I didn't take a cloud with me.
