We covered our ears with our hands and were still numb from the blast, let alone the rats. These rats were so big and defiant, but they couldn't be so defiant that they could cover their ears with their paws, right? The noise was still here.
In the relatively airtight tomb, not to mention the rat that was blown away by two bullets and pretended to die.
I looked up and saw that the remaining rats were crazy, yes, crazy. They were obviously frightened by the explosion. They changed from charging at us to running around blindly. Now they were very lively.
, we didn’t need to shoot, but we saw the rats screaming and scurrying around.
I originally thought that it would be over once and for all, but after experiencing the initial panic, suddenly, the restless group of rats slowly calmed down. When I took a look, it turned out that among the rats, there was a particularly huge one.
The rats were making squeaking noises over there, oh my god! This is the rat king! I said, why did these rats become quiet? It turns out that the leader is here? It seems that being organized is completely different from being unorganized.
.
I can see that Zhu Kaihua can also do it. His marksmanship is excellent. He lifts the gun and shoots a few bursts at the Rat King who is commanding over there. No matter how awesome the Rat King is, he can't stop the gun, right? That Rat King.
After being shot, the rats that had just fallen into a brief calm fell into riot again, but this time their goal was obvious, that is to escape. Their speed was extremely fast, and they were submerged among the bones in the blink of an eye, leaving only a large group of rats behind.
A pile of dead or struggling rats.
I breathed a sigh of relief and thought to myself, I finally got rid of these mice. It is so dangerous for so many of us with high technology. I don’t know how the second brother and the two of them got rid of these mice? But I thought of the secret of the second brother.
I was relieved, who knew he didn't have any special method?
After watching the army of rats pass by, several soldiers were curious about such a big rat. They ran to see the rat corpses and wondered why these rats grew so big and ferocious. Everyone is curious, right?
As soon as they walked over and picked up the big mouse, I heard the big guy calling me over there: Brother Sanliang, come and take a look! There are paintings on the ground!
In fact, I didn't want to take a closer look at the real appearance of these rats, but in order to remain aloof in front of these soldiers, I deliberately suppressed my curiosity. Now when I heard the big man calling me, I ran over immediately.
When I looked at the location he pointed to, I saw that there was indeed a painting.
The ground was originally covered with white bones. The air wave just now blew the bones away, revealing the paintings we didn't find last time. Damn it, this ancient tomb is really unique. I've seen a lot of paintings in the tomb.
, but they are all murals, and this is the first time I have seen paintings in tombs that can be painted on the ground. What was blown out by the * air wave was just a picture, with a woman with her back to us painted on it.
When I saw this painting, I felt that this picture seemed familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it. This painting was obviously connected, and the remaining parts were hidden among the bones. The few of us
They started immediately, with more people and greater strength. In a short while, a large open space was cleared, and colorful paintings were painted on the open space.
Since we want to look at paintings, of course we have to start from the beginning. We find the first painting and look at it in order. The following expressions need to be associated with the previous content.
The first picture depicts a monk with a face full of compassion. The monk is sitting on a pulpit, and under the pulpit are a group of kneeling believers. After seeing this, I think of the painting on the sarcophagus we saw on the second floor last time.
It is a portrait of a monk who attained enlightenment under the bodhi tree. The previous monk is 70% or 80% similar to this one. This is enough. The painters in ancient times were not photographers. These two monks should be the same person. According to today’s
According to external legends, the only eminent monk who attained enlightenment under the bodhi tree was the Tathagata Buddha whom everyone is familiar with—Sakyamuni.
It was the first time that the big man saw this kind of mural in a tomb, and he asked me quite nervously: Brother Sanliang, is this the Tathagata Buddha? Is the Tathagata buried in the Thousand Buddha Cave?!
I nodded and said: This is the Tathagata, but I think he is a bullshit Buddha. There is a mural on the road ahead. You will understand when you see it. The Buddha does not care about the life and death of the people in the world. As for whether the person buried in this
He didn't know until the end.
Zhu Kaihua made a sound, and he didn't know whether he wanted to contradict me or not. He said disdainfully: "Xiao Sanliang, I think you are pretending to be a master and pretending to be addicted. Are you sure this is the Tathagata? That Buddhist painting we used to have, and
In Leiyin Temple, have you seen Ksitigarbha in the Taoist priest's room? I seriously doubt that this must be related to Ksitigarbha. Who knows? In fact, the Buddhist statues are all similar, they are just fatter and frank.
With their breasts exposed and smiling, only a ghost can tell who they are.
When he said this, I knew he meant to sway me, but it still felt quite reasonable. Before we came to Thousand Buddha Cave, the Buddhist painting my father left in the village at the foot of the rainforest mountain was that of Ksitigarbha.
Picture of Laughing All Beings.
I first thought of Buddha statues. It must be related to Dunhuang, so I came here. Actually, thinking about it later, I can only say that I was lucky. I came to Dunhuang by accident, and I happened to be fooled. Do you think?
Next, there are Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang where there are Buddha statues. I wanted to find them there, but wouldn’t I have found nothing?
Now Zhu Kaihua has said this and connected the two. Could it be that the Buddhist paintings my father left back then were meant to find the tomb of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?
In the Cave of Thousand Buddhas, is this Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?! Yes! It’s very possible. I was still thinking before, didn’t Sakyamuni come from ancient India? How could his tomb be built in China? At first I gave it to myself
Explain that Dunhuang is the golden section of the Silk Road, and perhaps the relics of Sakyamuni were buried here.
You have to think about everything at the beginning, and then it will suddenly become clear to you!
That Taoist priest in Leiyin Temple!!! To me, his words are hard to distinguish between true and false. He told me that he had been entrusted by Zhao Jianguo to wait for me for twenty years and passed me this sentence: "Seek the skin of a tiger, and you have to do your best to obey fate."
”.
I don’t understand what this sentence means. I don’t need to understand it now. The most important thing is that in his house there is a Dharmakaya of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who is exactly the same indifferent to all sentient beings. There is also his sentence “Jiuhua Mountain’s
A battle between an old monk and his Patriarch Wang to exchange the fortunes of Buddhism and Taoism for hundreds of years."
Patriarch Wang is Taoist Wang. Who is the old monk from Mount Jiuhua?!
Jin Qiaojue, a monk from Silla Kingdom in the Tang Dynasty, practiced in Jiuhua Mountain. Buddhists say that this man was the reincarnation of Ksitigarbha!
This is the only Buddhist Buddha recorded in history who was in China. This is a Buddhist cave built in China. What is the connection between these? One can imagine.
But even so, I'm still not sure, so I urged Zhu Kaihua and said: Stop talking nonsense, you don't care who he is, he is not a relative of yours anyway, let's move on to the next picture.
The second picture is of a woman. It is not a back view. Although the characters painted on the mural are relatively abstract, you can still see her unparalleled elegance. Of course, this is talking about the figure. The paint on her face may have been painted for a long time, and it is quite
It's so blurry that you can't see it clearly at all.
However, just such a woman, dressed in white, looks like a fairy from heaven.
In front of her, a person knelt down. In the first picture, the person opening the forum to lecture was Tathagata, or Ksitigarbha.
I was shocked and said: Damn! Who is this woman?! Such a big show?! No matter if this bald donkey is Tathagata or Ksitigarbha, kneel down to her?!
This time, Zhu Kaihua was also anxious. He ignored me and went straight to the third picture. My flashlight also turned on it.
In the third picture, there is still the woman and the monk, but this time, the monk does not kneel on the ground, but points to an old man next to him, as if introducing the gorgeous woman.
This old man is dressed as a Taoist priest.
who is it?
Those who knew how to read looked at the doorway, and those who didn't watched watched the fun. A few soldiers watched it for fun. Lao Zhu and I looked at each other, both shocked, a battle between Buddhism and Taoism!
The fourth picture is not much different from the third picture. It is still a monk and a woman, but this time, it is replaced by a middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man is also a Taoist priest, and the monk is still introducing him warmly to the woman.
The fifth picture, monk, woman, Taoist priest!
The Taoist priest this time was a child, probably fifteen or sixteen years old, not tall. He stood there expressionlessly and allowed the monk to introduce him like an animal.
The sixth picture shows a woman, a monk, and the monk holding a baby in his hands.
Zhu Kaihua's excited voice changed, and he asked me tremblingly: "Xiao Sanliang, have you seen that except for the last baby, the clothes of the other three people have not changed?"
I was also stunned and nodded numbly.
Lao Zhu asked again: Have you thought of anything?
