To the west, what was blown out of the sand by the strong wind was a broken city wall, with a large rammed earth fortress underneath. It turned out that this was the ruins of an ancient temple.
Most of the ancient temple was submerged in the yellow sand, but the unsubmerged part was still clearly visible. Looking from outside the door, I saw that all the Buddha statues and objects in the temple had been petrified, including ashes, spider webs, etc.
It is easy to see from the mottled stones that this ancient temple has survived for countless thousands of years, which can be called a miracle. Although most of it has been buried in the yellow sand, it still exudes a mysterious atmosphere.
.
Everyone stumbled forward and ran forward. Just as they were about to enter, Lin Chenggu suddenly stopped everyone and said, "Wait a minute, this temple is definitely not an ordinary ancient temple. Why is there an aura of decay everywhere like an ancient tomb? And the aura of corpses is so high!"
"
Lin Chenggu once dug ancient tombs, so he was very sensitive to the smell of decay.
Lin Chenggu's words frightened everyone to a stop. After carefully observing the temple, they discovered that except for the foundation stone, the rest of the temple was made of skeletons and bones. Looking at the desolate surroundings exposed by the wind, human bones
, camel bones and some huge animal bones cover the wilderness everywhere. Under the collapsed sand dunes, human bones, property and weapons are arranged like an ancient battlefield. It seems that you can smell the stench of rotting corpses, covered with flies.
The exposed parts of the temple are carved with ancient and exotic animals as well as various unknown Buddha statues and gods, all of which are carved from piles of white bones.
"Oh my God, we have entered a mass grave!" Xiao Yi screamed in fear.
For a moment, everyone faced each other, not even daring to breathe, for fear that if anyone made any move, the devil would appear. Every sand bump, every footstep, and every sound of rolling sand and gravel made everyone's hearts beat with fear.
Cold sweat broke out all over my back, and no one dared to enter the temple.
Zhang Xu looked at the desert storm rolling in the distance, his face darkened, and he said to everyone with a stern expression: "If you don't go in, you will die. This sandstorm can bury us alive. If we go in, there may be a glimmer of hope. If we go in, we will die."
Let everyone make their own decisions."
"Brother Zhang Xu, I don't want to be buried alive, I'll go in with you!" Xiao Yi was the first to respond.
The word "buried alive" frightened everyone. After lingering for a moment, everyone slowly followed. Zhang Xu pulled Xiao Yi and jumped into the temple gate.
Entering the temple gate, it is completely different from the outside. A scent of sandalwood that seems to have lasted forever hits your face. Although the outer layer of the temple is made of bones, the inside is a wooden structure. Although the wooden beams are decayed, they can hold up to ten thousand pounds.
, and suddenly it is the Main Hall below.
"Zhang Xu, do you feel it? The atmosphere in this temple has changed. It is very different from the outside. There is a rotten atmosphere outside, but there is a very mysterious atmosphere inside the temple. Now we have no sense of the outside world at all."
Lin Chenggu reminded.
After Lin Chenggu said this, everyone also realized that entering the temple was like entering a closed space. The wind was roaring outside, sand and rocks were flying, and the huge movement of the desert being overturned by the wind was unheard of in the temple.
No movement could be heard.
Zhang Xujing calmed down and thought about it for a while. He felt that not only was the terrifying atmosphere outside completely blocked in the temple, but people couldn't help but feel a sense of worship. Zhu Zhu replied: "This temple is not simple.
My consciousness can disrupt the secrets of heaven and obscure everything! Everyone, please be careful!"
Regarding this vision, Zhang Xu had a look of surprise on his face. What puzzled him was that the ancient Buddhist realm was the holy land of the Buddhist sect. Although this temple had been abandoned for unknown tens of thousands of years, judging from its scale, it must have been the same in the ancient times.
It is a place where Buddhist great powers gather and preaching and preaching are most prosperous.
According to records in ancient books, such a place is where the ancient Emperor of Heaven, and gods and demons are not willing to step in, to prevent enmity with Buddhism. So, who can have such a huge deterrent that can make Buddhism retreat and shield the temple from the outside world?
Do you know? The wall built with bones is obviously a disguise.
The more Zhang Xu thought about it, the more awe-inspiring he became. With the help of the dim light coming in from outside, he looked around. It was indeed a majestic and solemn Buddhist temple. Although it was petrified, the gems all over the body of the Buddha enshrined in the temple were spotless and the brilliance was flowing. The Great Hall
Thirty-six large pillars are used to support the interior, which is extremely strong. The statue of Buddha sitting on a black lotus is solemn.
"Mr. Lin, do you see any difference between the Buddha statues in this hall and other temples? Why is this like this?" Zhang Xu habitually asked Lin Chenggu for advice whenever he encountered a difficult mystery.
Lin Chenggu's eyes were a little dazed at this time. He stared at the Buddha statue as if he were seeing an acquaintance. He slowly said to Zhang Xu's back: "Daxiong" is the name of Buddha. Most of the Mahavira halls are dedicated to Buddha statues of our master, Sakyamuni Buddha.
, but this temple is dedicated to Maitreya Buddha. What is even more peculiar is that there are several fierce demons and gods kneeling under the Buddha, which has never been seen in previous temples! How strange!"
Then he continued: "According to the "Maitreya Sutra", Maitreya Buddha is the supreme existence of Buddhism. Maitreya Buddha's level is high and his power is far beyond that of Sakyamuni Buddha. Maitreya Buddha is the true king of kings.
King, the Lord of Lords. He is one of the three great Buddhas in the past, present and future. His temple is very important to Buddhism. At the foot of Mount Sumeru, this temple is located here with Maitreya Buddha. It must be this
Something shocking and shocking happened everywhere!" After saying that, he looked at both sides of the hall with an almost profound look.
Zhang Xu asked Lin Chenggu to say that he was very shocked. He never expected that such a shocking accident could happen to a Buddha statue.
Following Lin Chenggu's gaze, he saw many stone tablets on both sides of the hall. The fronts of the tablets were all engraved with extremely complicated Sanskrit sutras and mantras. Xiao Yi stepped forward and translated the inscriptions on the back of the tablets, but they were too old.
Over time, the writing has become blurry, and the general idea is that there is an ancient god or great demon suppressing under each stone tablet.
There is a giant bronze vat at each end of the two sides under the Buddha's seat, which is filled with "dragon oil ointment" that has been condensed into solid paraffin. It is said that this ointment is refined from evil dragon oil and can be used as lamp oil for a long time.
It has been burning for thousands of years without being extinguished, but now the oil condensed lamp has dried up.
In a daze, Zhang Xu only felt that there were sparks flickering above the tank, "How is this possible?" To prevent accidents, he held the picked Qingming Shield in front of his chest and walked to the front of the giant bronze tank to find out.
.
At this time, a bronze oil lamp floated above the oil tank. The dark wick was almost burned out, and only a small amount was left. It was obviously an oil lamp that had been around for some time...
With a "pop" sound, a flame the size of a bean lit up. The dim light swayed uncertainly, dimly and dimly, illuminating the entire Main Hall in an extremely strange light. Everyone always felt that there was a monster behind them, so they nervously kept looking back to see what was behind them.
No ghost..
Zhang Xu also felt vaguely in a trance, so he moved forward to check. The swaying oil lamp flickered in front of his eyes. Suddenly, the halo of the oil lamp suddenly spread in circles, reflecting the green, green, and dark shields.
The light flickered.
At this moment, something strange suddenly happened. The Qingming Shield in Zhang Xu's hand began to shake violently, and gradually he lost his grip. In shock, he quickly grabbed it with both hands and held it steady.
And at this moment, the scene on Qingming's shield made everyone stunned,
The light of the oil lamp activated the inscriptions cast on the shield, and a mysterious halo appeared as if it was alive. The divine brilliance bloomed, illuminating endless green brilliance and shining directly on the top of the hall. With a "swipe" sound,
A holographic projection-like image was frozen in mid-air.
The image was not very stable, and the picture was not very clear. It was intermittent, as if it was playing an old movie copy. But the content shocked everyone, because they saw a thrilling scene that they had never seen before.
, is also a scene that ordinary people cannot imagine and experience...
