In the Han Dynasty, Yarkand was one of the thirty-six kingdoms in the Western Regions.
Today's Yarkand County is the former site of the Yarkand Ancient Kingdom.
Shache County belongs to the Kashgar Prefecture of Xinjiang and is located on the southwest border of Xinjiang.
When Lin Xiaofeng and the others arrived in Shache County, it was already the evening of the second day.
Shache County is not considered wealthy, at least it cannot be compared with big cities like Chengdu.
In fact, during the Han Dynasty, the Buddhist culture in Yarkand was extremely rich, but at this time, Yarkand County looked no different from an ordinary small town.
"This is Yarkand County? It doesn't look very distinctive."
Juechen sat in the taxi and looked out at the streets of the small town.
Guan Xu sat aside and said: "In ancient times, the Buddhist culture in the ancient Yarkand Kingdom was extremely rich. When the Buddhist culture first spread from the Western Regions, it flowed into the mainland of China along the ancient Yarkand Kingdom, so this is the place where Buddhist culture was first introduced.
.”
"However, with the disappearance of the ancient kingdom of Yarkand, the Buddhist culture here also disappeared."
The taxi driver driving in front was about thirty years old and seemed to be a local born and raised here. He introduced with a smile: "You three guys, are you here for tourism? There is nothing interesting in this place."
Lin Xiaofeng smiled and said: "After all, this is a country in the ancient Western Regions, and it always has some cultural heritage."
The driver shook his head: "Yarkand County is indeed the site of the ancient Yarkand Kingdom, but the buildings of the ancient Yarkand Kingdom have not been found yet. Archaeologists come here every now and then to investigate, but they can't be found.
"
"We're here, Yuanqing Hotel, right?" the driver smiled.
Lin Xiaofeng paid and after the three of them got out of the car, he said, "Guan Xu, do you have any news about Fan Jie?"
Guan Xu frowned and said: "Fan Jie has arrived in Shache County. I don't know the more specific address yet."
"Let Liu Boqing settle the matter." Lin Xiaofeng said.
Guan Xu said: "Let's look for it first. Shache County is not big, so we can always find it."
The three of them walked into the hotel.
This hotel is not big, and the person at the front desk is an old Uyghur man.
The old man was wearing a hat, he looked to be in his seventies, and his body looked very strong.
"Old man, stay in the hotel." Lin Xiaofeng and the others took out their ID cards.
The three of them opened a triple room.
Suddenly, Juechen looked at a portrait on the wall and asked curiously: "Old man, is this the Bodhisattva? Why haven't I seen it before?"
This portrait shows a monk wearing golden robes.
The old man looked back and said in a dialect that a few people could barely understand: "Here, this is the King of Kemuli."
"King Kemuli? Why is he a monk?" Guan Xu asked.
The old man said with a smile: "You three have just arrived in the Kingdom of Yarkand, right? King Kemuli was a king at the end of our ancient Kingdom of Yarkand. He advocated Buddhism. In ancient times, everyone in the Kingdom of Yarkand believed in Buddhism."
"The old man seems to know a lot." Guan Xu asked: "I wonder if the old man has ever heard of the ancient Buddhist scrolls?"
"Ancient Buddha scroll?" The old man thought for a moment and shook his head: "I've never heard of it."
"However, there is a legend about King Kemuri."
"It is said that King Kemuri anticipated the disaster that would befall the Yarkand State, so he took a large amount of the country's treasures and buried them in an unknown place."
Lin Xiaofeng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, old man."
After saying that, Lin Xiaofeng and the other three took the elevator and went up to rest.
After the three people left, the old man's eyes shone with light, and he looked at the three people entering the elevator with confusion: "What's going on recently? A group of people came yesterday and asked about the ancient Buddha scroll. Is it possible?
Has the news about the ancient Buddha scroll been leaked?"
Lin Xiaofeng and the others naturally didn't know what the old man in the hall was thinking.
The three of them entered the room.
Although this room is not as luxurious as a big hotel, it is clean and tidy.
Jue Chen sat down on the bed and lay down: "I've been driving all day and I'm almost exhausted."
Lin Xiaofeng walked to the window, picked up the cigarette, lit it and took a puff.
Seeing Guan Xu approaching, he asked: "This mission is just to prevent Fan Jie from getting the ancient Buddhist scroll, right?"
"That's right." Guan Xu nodded and said, "We destroyed the ancient Buddha scroll and we can't let him get it."
Lin Xiaofeng asked in confusion: "Speaking of which, what exactly is this ancient Buddhist scroll?"
"I don't know either." Guan Xu shook his head.
Unexpectedly, Jue Chen, who was lying on the bed, sat up and said, "I know."
"you?"
Lin Xiaofeng and Guan Xu looked over.
It was fine before I was familiar with it.
But when Guan Xu got acquainted with Jue Chen, he also had a headache because of Jue Chen's nagging.
He rarely met such a nagging person.
Guan Xu couldn't help but think.
How can such a nagging guy know what an ancient Buddhist scroll is?
"If you want to talk about other things, I may not be clear about it, but when it comes to Buddhism, there are a few things that I don't know about." Juechen sat over with a smile and said, "It is said that when Buddhism first emerged,
When it entered China, there were three volumes of ancient Buddhist scriptures."
"It is said that if you get these three ancient Buddhist scriptures, you can get the true meaning of the Buddha beads and become a Buddha immediately." Juechen clasped his hands and said, "But after the three ancient Buddhist scriptures flowed into China, they disappeared. No one knows about this thing."
Who got it?"
"You can become a Buddha instantly if you get it? Is it true or false?" Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but ask: "Is this Sakyamuni really so amazing?"
Although Jue Chen is a monk, he still smiles and says: "I don't know, something I haven't seen before might be blown."
"The Sakyamuni in history is indeed very powerful." Guan Xu said: "I have seen some files sealed by the Monster Catching Bureau, but there are other people in history who are not mentioned. Just because he founded Buddhism, we can see how powerful he was.
place."
"But then again, why would a demon monk like Fan Jie come looking for the ancient Buddhist scroll left by Sakyamuni?" Lin Xiaofeng frowned.
If the ancient Buddhist scroll is really left by the legendary Sakyamuni, it is really an incredible treasure.
Being able to become a Buddha is probably true.
"Then who knows." Juechen sat on the bed and asked, "Let's go out and walk around here later to see if we can get any clues."
"Um."
Several people nodded.
In Shache County, there is another hotel not far away.
In a room, there were about a dozen bald men, all wearing black monk robes. Fan Jie was standing among them, and several of them were looking at a map.
Fan Jie wore a huge black monk's robe, wrapping himself in it.
His fair face looks really delicate.
"Buddha, the location is correct, it's right here."
A monk next to Fan Jie pointed to a location on the map.
Fan Jie looked cold and asked, "Is that right?"
The monk nodded: "It's definitely true. We have been investigating Buddhism for so long. This should be the place where King Kemuri is buried."
