Chapter 201: General Dark Iron

Views:

This wall is more than five meters high and more than ten meters wide. The flat wall is full of strange figures and symbols. In the center is a huge "swastika" symbol.

Su Rui remembered that the stone slab under the Golden Spirit Bone Pagoda also had a "swastika" symbol on it.

Old Wang squinted his eyes for a while, and felt that the symbol was very familiar, and he was suddenly surprised: "Fuck, isn't this, the symbol of Hitler? The dagger that Su Rui gave me-it is engraved with'Glory is loyalty.' 'The dagger of the SS elite also has such a symbol on it—is this the place where Hitler's expedition had hidden treasures? Is this a mark left by Hitler's expedition?"

Su Rui shook his head and explained the difference between the "卐" symbol on Hitler's golden brick found in the Golden Spirit Bone Pagoda and the "卍" symbol here.

The common people's understanding of the "swastika" symbol mainly originated from the military logo of Nazi Germany during World War II. As Hitler's army ravaged the European continent, the symbol of "swastika" as a symbol of the Nazis was also brought to all parts of the world. Many people often see this symbol in movies or historical materials, so they are impressed.

The symbol of "卐" is a party flag designed by Hitler himself. The original manuscript is a red background with a white center with a black "swastika" embedded in the middle. Hitler believed that "this is a true symbol." He said in the book "My Struggle": "The character'swastika' symbolizes the mission of fighting for the victory of the Aryans."

As for the origin of Hitler's "creative", there is no record in history.

The "swastika" character in front of them, which is the opposite of the Nazi "swastika" symbol, has a much longer history, even as far back as six to seven thousand years ago. The pottery made by the ancestors of the Gansu and Qing regions already had the symbol "卐" on it. Up.

On some rock paintings in ancient Tibet, there is a sequence diagram of the evolution of the "swastika".

The symbol "卐", pronounced "10,000" in Chinese, is usually used in Buddhist occasions. People think it is the heart seal of the Buddha. Tibetan calls it "Yongzhong". Buddhism is very closely related. According to data, "Yongzhong Benjiao" is the first Buddhism to use this name.

The Yongzhong religion originated from the mysterious Xiangxiong dynasty.

Zi Yang recalled that when Su Rui was communicating with Lazi Rinpoche in the temple, he also mentioned the Xiangxiong dynasty and asked Su Rui: "What is the origin of this Xiangxiong dynasty?"

Su Rui said: "Xiangxiong, which means'land of the Dapeng Birds', is the earliest civilization center of the Tibetan Plateau. According to archaeological research and historical records, Xiangxiong has risen on the Tibetan Plateau in the 10th century BC.

The ancient Xiangxiong produced a very high civilization. It not only formed its own unique Xiangxiong script, but also was the birthplace of the Yongzhong religion, which had a profound impact on the later Tubo and even the entire Tibetan culture.

When the Xiangxiong dynasty was in its heyday, it had a very strong military power. Its territory included most of the Tibetan Plateau, Qinghai, part of Sichuan, and Kashmir and Ladakh in the west.

By the eighth century AD, the Xiangxiong kingdom and culture suddenly disappeared, and its written documents, palace ruins, etc. have not yet been verified, leaving doubts about the ages. "

Zi Yang said: "You said before that the swastika appeared six or seven years ago, and it seems to be thousands of years earlier than the history of the Yongzhong Benjiao and the Xiangxiong Dynasty."

Surui nodded: "Lazi Rinpoche said that the original owner of this temple belonged to the Xiangxiong dynasty. Moreover, Lazi Rinpoche discovered from the scriptures left in the temple that the history of this temple is even longer than that of the Xiangxiong dynasty. It’s going to be long. If that’s the case, I guess it’s probably the birthplace of the Xiangxiong culture."

Zi Yang looked up at the wall with various patterns in front of him, suddenly felt that it was so tall and majestic, Su Rui's introduction added a mysterious and historical weight to it.

Su Rui sighed: "Isotope measurement should be able to determine the precise age of these historical relics. Unfortunately, we don't have the corresponding instruments and equipment. It would be great if my brother were there. He is more proficient in history and sect research than I am. ."

Lao Wang listened to them for a long time but couldn't say the main point, he was a little anxious:

"Can we stop learning about history here? These are not important, okay! The important thing is-how do we get out! I can remind everyone, we are running out of water and food now, this broken place, even shit There is no suitable place... If you can't find a way out, you really have to be buried here with the old lama!"

Su Rui nodded: "You are right, the first task at present is to find a way out! Everyone will look around again."

Zi Yang remembered that Niu Da's corpse was still carrying a backpack, and walked over and untied it carefully.

A Chong and Qingwen walked around the wall holding Ye Mingzhu, and shook their heads, but found nothing.

The hole is not big, just a few words can go around. Now everyone was left with this mysterious wall and the empty sarcophagus.

Lao Wang touched and pressed the wall here and there with his hands, muttering: "Open Sesame?"

Zi Yang was dumbfounded by him, teasing him: "You can change to a more religious posture, and try to speak softly."

"Open the door, Sesame?"... Pharaoh lay there and talked with the wall in a low voice for a long time, but the wall still didn't move.

Old Wang scratched his head and said, "Xiao Rui, can you understand the meaning of the symbols on the wall? Does it say where the intersection is? Three steps forward and turn left, then take five steps and turn right. … Lao Dog Li might have read the password on the wall, opened the secret door and escaped!"

Su Rui nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, but this wall is too big and the pattern on it is incomplete. Everyone spread it out and lift the Ye Mingzhu higher, and I will look at it again."

The crowd dispersed, holding Ye Mingzhu against the wall. Due to the high walls and the limited brightness of Ye Mingzhu, some of the patterns on it are still hidden in the shadows.

Lao Wang simply stood on the edge of the coffin and raised Ye Mingzhu high on his toes.

"How is it? Can you see it all?"

Su Rui nodded: "Well, please work hard, let me try to interpret it."

Except for the most conspicuous swastika in the middle, on this huge wall, the rest are the most symbols such as ○, △, and □.

These geometric figures are of different sizes and have no regular arrangement. They are painted with different colors.

Su Rui pondered: These symbols should all have representative meanings. In the original teachings, the universe is composed of three elements: water, fire, and earth, corresponding to the three patterns of circles, triangles, and squares.

The "○" circle represents the recurring principle of the universe and is the source of the cosmic power. The dotted lines around should symbolize the infinite light emitted by the sun, moon, and stars.

The "△" triangle, painted with red color, should represent the blood circulatory system of the human body itself, and is the basis for the creation of human energy. The three sides also have their own meanings, respectively symbolizing the vitality shown by the essence, qi, and god.

The square of "□" should be a force generated by matter in nature-like an energy force such as a magnetic field, which has the effect of cohesion and enhancement.

In some Buddhist teachings, these ancient patterns can be combined to explain the operation of the universe and human thinking.

Zi Yang said in amazement: "Thousands of years ago, primitive humans could master so much knowledge? It doesn't feel like Buddhism, it's more like science!"

Su Rui nodded and said: "Some ancient metaphysics ethical explanations often coincide surprisingly with modern science. So there is a saying that'the end of science is theology'. Some famous scientists have encountered bottlenecks in academic research or reached a certain After reaching the realm, they will even abandon science to study metaphysics."

Zi Yang sneered and said, "Not only scientists, but also military strategists, such as Hitler and Himmler...Aren't they also masters of metaphysics?"

Su Rui nodded: "Speaking of which, our expedition was actually built on this basis..."

Zi Yang suddenly remembered something, frowned and said, "How do I feel that these symbols are somewhat similar to the patterns on the dzi stone outside..."

Lao Wang listened to them researching for a long time and they got farther and farther, and he was a little impatient: "I said two schoolmasters, can we hurry up? After a long time, have you found the intersection

Whoops, my arms are sore! "

Lao Wang stood on the sarcophagus and held Ye Mingzhu for a long time. His hands began to tremble. He just wanted to change his hand, but he slipped under his feet and shook his hand. Ye Mingzhu didn't catch it and fell into the coffin.

Old Wang squatted down, just about to reach out to pick it up, suddenly he jumped from the coffin with a "fuck", jumped and ran away several steps away, and looked at the sarcophagus in horror with his eyes open.

"Damn it?!" Zi Yang couldn't help asking, seeing Lao Wang behaving so abnormally.

Lao Wang nodded and swallowed, "Yes, what the hell! There seems to be something at the bottom of the coffin, swallow my Ye Mingzhu!"

Zi Yang and A Chong looked at each other. Both of them checked just now. The inside of the coffin was empty, except for some dilapidated and decayed "cloth pieces" debris at the bottom.

Zi Yang thought to himself that this old king had become less and less courageous since he "heard".

"Are you wrong? Ye Mingzhu fell into the trash inside, right?"

Zi Yang said that he wanted to come forward to check, but Lao Wang grabbed his wrist.

"Old Li don't go there, it's dangerous, I saw it with my own eyes, the things inside will and will move..."

Zi Yang saw that Lao Wang's expression didn't look like a joke, and he was a little nervous. Looking at A Chong next to him, he also stared at the sarcophagus intently, as if he was facing an enemy.

Zi Yang turned his head and looked at the sarcophagus. The appearance was rough and the size was average. It was not carved with scriptures and patterns like the wall. It was dark and bare. Compared with the golden coffin and the blood dragon wooden coffin outside, This sarcophagus is too ordinary, and he hesitated: "What are you doing? Is there anything wrong with this coffin?"

At this time, a strange voice in the darkness said: "This is the sarcophagus of General Dark Iron!"
