Someone leads the way, and we don’t have to go around every Buddhist temple like a headless fly, but we still pass through several temples and grottoes, and each temple and grotto has a Buddha statue.
The Buddha statues are all different in shape, just like the monsters and ghosts that only appear in Journey to the West.
Sha Kun can tell the name, history and origin of each Buddha statue. At the same time, I also realize that what the Torogans seem to respect is not something they can understand.
I even thought that this envoy didn't seem to be a good character, and this time I was probably on the thief ship.
When he reached the last temple, Sha Kun suddenly stopped and looked at the side door at the lower left of the temple. He bowed his head and said nothing, as if he was hesitating.
The hall is tall, candlelight swaying, and the surrounding area is empty. Except for our subtle footsteps, all around is silent. Only the three-eyed Buddha in the middle of the hall is glaring. Behind the Buddha is a circle of fire, wearing a crown of seven snakes, and holding a sword to swallow. Sword-shaped. There are seven grimace faces hanging on the Buddha statue, one on the chest, two on the abdomen, two on both shoulders and knees. Except for the grimace on the shoulders turning into a snake-shaped mouth, the other five grimace faces are distorted into wax-melted shapes and are grotesque. terror.
I wondered in my heart: What kind of Buddha is this again? So evil!
Sha Kun pointed to the passage in front and said, "The Hell of Willow Leaf is ahead. It is very dangerous. I broke through after nine deaths, but I don't know how to bring Master Saint."
Jia Sidao said indifferently: "You don't have to worry about this, you first tell us what you have encountered, we have our own way."
Sha Kun said: "As soon as I stepped in, a sword like a willow leaf flew horizontally. I just avoided the sword rain, where I could see clearly. I ran all the way and stumbled in. The inside was in the shape of a gourd. There are a lot of spikes on the wall, and there are also words. There is a throne in the middle, and there is a fish mouth on the seat. The drop of blood red stone was taken from the fish mouth, and there will be no sword rain when it comes out."
I walked to the entrance of the passage we were going to enter and looked inside. On both sides of the passage are the offering tables one meter above the ground. There are some dust and scratches on the offering table, which shows that there were various exhibits on it. Stolen. A stone gate opened at the end of the passage five meters away,
There is Tibetan on the wall above the door. If you guessed it well, it should be the name of the secret room.
The ground inside the passage is paved with stone slabs, which is in the shape of a stone, and each piece is engraved with different characters and symbols.
I said: "The mechanism should be on the floor, so the mechanism will be activated as soon as you step in. As for those symbols, they should be in ancient Tibetan, so we don't know them either."
Jia Sidao also came over, looked for a moment, and said, "Well, there are many gaps in the walls on both sides. It is estimated that the flying sword was shot from the rock wall. There was no willow sword on the ground, indicating that the willow sword did not hurt anyone, so he returned. In the opposite stone wall."
I looked up at the top of the passage and said, "The ceiling is so high, it is estimated that nothing will fall from it."
Jia Sidao said: "The length of this room is no more than 20 meters. Even if there is a mechanism, you can rush to it." After taking a deep breath, he said, "I'll go first!"
Jia Sidao walked to the floor, looked at the fat and thin characters in the strokes, pondered for a moment, and tentatively stepped on it. Seeing that the floor did not move, I stepped on it with confidence, and then took the next step at the usual pace...
I followed his example, followed by one step, and stepped on the stone slab he was stepping on.
Step by step, step by step across the floor, we came to the door at the end of the passage, and saw that the floor in the round room was irregular, which was completely different from the strip floor here, and each floor was still engraved with ancient times. Tibetan.
Jia Sidao stepped out the door and said with a sigh of relief: "I don't know if it's luck or the mechanism is no longer working."
I said: "The mechanism needs power. It should be Sha Kun who broke in last time and has consumed the power of the mechanism."
When we all walked out the door, Sha Kun overtook us, walked quickly to the center of the round room, and pointed to the fish's mouth on the high platform and said, "This is the place. The blood stone was obtained here."
Jia Sidao stomped his feet first, and after confirming that the underground floor was strong, he took two more steps, and then tried his best to move along the place where Duo Shakun had just walked.
Jia Sidao's caution is correct. The floor here is made like this, and there will probably be problems. I followed Jia Sidao and walked forward, and at the same time reminded Sha Kun not to move rashly and beware of hidden weapons.
come
On the high platform, I could see the whole picture of the round room. It really looked like a gourd. There was a hole in the middle of the vault of the room, and a small hemisphere was on it. The top of the sphere gradually shrank, and it was not clear whether there would be a hole. Some ancient Tibetan scripts were carved on the small spherical ring wall, because the light is too dark and the writing is too small, it looks very laborious.
We asked Sha Kun what was written on it, and Sha Kun looked up at his neck for a long time before saying that he could not read and could only punch.
I asked Sha Kun: "So many Buddha statues on the island were carved by your Toroga ancestors, or did they exist earlier, and your ancestors are only responsible for guarding this place?"
Sha Kun said: "According to the elders, we are responsible for guarding this place."
Jia Sidao stared at the fish's mouth for a while, then asked me for a drop of blood stone, and put the drop of blood stone back into the fish's mouth. He looked at the fish’s mouth for a while, and then at the top of his head. After a while, he said, “This drop of blood stone should have a very important role in the sacrifice.” He looked at the top of his head and said: “The blood stone is placed on top of it. Here, the principle of light refraction should be used. Look at the top of your head, the gourd mouth is the place where light is introduced. The ancient Tibetans have reached a considerable height in the study of sound, light, and shadow. Among them, the immeasurable Buddha wall is very high. Good example."
I hurriedly asked: "What is the Immeasurable Buddha Wall?"
"It's a huge, smooth, mirror-like stone wall. It is said that whenever lightning thunders, the Buddha's Dharma body appears on the stone wall. Many believers worship and worship it as a holy site. The engraved on the wall should be a way of showing images. A ghost is not a ghost in the traditional sense, but one of the twenty-eight stars. Look at the floor, there are a few places where the shape of the floor is not regular. They are all in the shape of lotus leaves.
Following Jia's four fingers, as expected, in more than one place, the floor was deliberately shaped like a lotus leaf. Count them. There are eight lotus leaves evenly surrounding the central round table.
Jia Sidao said: "This is the eight-leaf lotus, which represents the eight directions of southeast, northwest and southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest."
"Eight-leaf lotus?" This is the first time I heard of such a species.
Jia Sidao nodded and said, "To the eight-leaf lotus, which is the mandala we often call, it drives on Huangquan Road."
