[Stolen pen fan] The ultimate extreme

After a short rest near Dunhuang, the archaeological team followed the order of Mogao Grottoes, West Thousand Buddha Caves, and Yulin Grottoes to visit and inspect this famous site at home and abroad.

Mogao Grottoes is the part with the highest artistic level, and it is also the latest excavation and the longest duration among the three sites.The gorgeous murals and the majestic Buddha statues all make people have the impulse to worship.

The group stayed in Mogao Grottoes for about a week, where archaeological students from the two countries got to know each other, copied murals, measured Buddhist caves, and surveyed and mapped Buddha statues.

During this period, Hei Xiazi played his role as a consultant very coolly.According to the modeling style of Buddha statues and the expression of clothing wrinkles, he clearly analyzed when the murals of each cave were painted, and the subtle color difference of some mural paints reflects the large span of painting, etc.; The students nodded frequently, and finally changed their name to Teacher Qi.

On the way to West Thousand Buddha Caves and Yulin Grottoes, the guide invited by the team suddenly insisted on taking a relatively remote ancient road.

The guide was called Old Li Tou, and according to him, walking this ancient road, you can see a different scenery, and no one objected.When walking to a section between Mingsha Mountain and Sanwei Mountain, Lao Litou suddenly pointed at the junction of two completely different scenes not far away and said:

"That's where the local legend says that Monk Le Zun met the Holy Light of Thousand Buddhas. We might as well go camping there for one night, maybe we can also be blessed by some Buddhas."

Since the archaeological team's walk this time has a certain travel nature, and has not yet entered an area where supplies cannot be supplied, it is not necessary to spend some time camping and camping on the spot.The camp was quickly set up, and after the simple fire was lit, a small pot was set up, and the dried meat prepared earlier also played their role, and soon the aroma overflowed from the pot and drifted across the entire campsite.

The next day, the archaeological team moved freely on the edge of the nearby river bed. At a certain time, they only heard someone shout:

"My God!"

Everyone followed the prestige and saw that the shouting person pointed in the direction of Sanwei Mountain, and a ray of golden light diffused over the top of Sanwei Mountain, turning into a myriad of Buddhas and myriad phenomena.

"Miracle!" Someone shouted, and the old Li had already knelt down on the ground at the moment of seeing this miracle, with a devout expression, and worshiped.Hei Xiazi also folded his hands and knelt down. He was originally a banner man, and Tibetan Buddhism played an important role in the banner man's culture.With the change of the angle of the sun, the golden light instantly transformed into a wonderful scene of Arhats and the eight tribes of Tianlong.Those people from overseas do not believe in Buddhism, and they took out their cameras one after another to capture this magical moment.

It took several minutes for the holy scene of Thousand Buddhas to dissipate. People still couldn't recover from this miraculous scene. Steven sighed in his unproficient Chinese: "It is said that Le Zun saw the holy sight of Thousand Buddhas." The scene is an illusion, and today I know it is not an illusion!"

"Before today, I also thought that Le Zun's encounter with Buddha was a legend, and the golden light was just a normal optical phenomenon. I didn't expect such a spectacle, but how lucky we are. In this land, countless monks or believers, and later generations The explorers came here with pious thoughts, and wanted to see the golden light again, but they all failed.” It was Professor Liu who was speaking, he had recovered from the shock, and he joined Steven talking.

Because they saw the sacred scene of Buddha's light, everyone was a little dazed and a little excited, and they all stopped their activities. Some people gathered around to discuss whether it was a mirage or some other optical spectacle.Some of these people have a theory of ghosts and gods, and some have a theory of science, and they chat until late at night.

Several of the grottoes on the cliff here are in danger of collapsing, and because they are located on the cliff, they are not within the viewing range.A dark figure flashed into a hidden grotto in the stone wall.After entering the grotto, there was a strange sound coming from his body, and then he was seen tapping the wall of the grotto with his fingers.If there is light in the grotto, you will find that his fingers are different from ordinary people, he has two strangely long fingers!

At this moment, the man suddenly stopped moving, turned around and kicked up, and was held up by someone half-squatting in the dark, he pushed his legs forward and stretched hard, and stepped on the foot with his extraordinary waist strength. The opponent's shoulder turned around in a posture unimaginable to ordinary people, and the other foot was also buckled on the opponent's shoulder.That momentum is to screw off the opponent's head with his feet.

The opponent was not a vegetarian either, so he turned around with surprising strength in a squatting position, and punched his calf with a punch so fast that it was too late for his legs to exert force.Seeing this, the man turned backwards, and the two of them faced each other with fists and feet in this dark and narrow space, and they had performed dozens of moves in a short time.Seeing that the surprise attack failed, and the fist and kick couldn't tell the difference for a while, the man pulled out a very short machete from his leggings at the same time as he retreated sharply.I don't know how the latecomer knew that he had drawn his weapon. When he attacked with a short machete, he heard a strange buzzing sound of weapons interlacing.As soon as the buzzer sounded, the two separated instantly and jumped back at the same time.

"Who are you!" After a brief silence, the two of them actually spoke at the same time, and after speaking, there was another burst of silence.

"Where did you get your knife?!" The man with two long fingers spoke again in the darkness, leaning forward to attack the opponent mercilessly.

"I should ask you this question! This pair of knives are inherited from my family! There are only two in the world! One is with me, and the other is with my brother!" After another twenty strokes, the uncertain voice of the person who advanced into the cave sounded.

"Qi...brother?"

"Zhang Qi Ling?"

The two stopped their movements in unison, and the blind man took out a torch from his pocket and lit it, only then could he see the other's face clearly.

Standing in the cave was the guide, Old Li.

It's just that the old Li's body has changed now. The height of 1.8 meters, the well-proportioned figure, and the somewhat mixed-race face did not seem to be inconsistent.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Qiling never talked much, and the blind man could only resign himself to the topic, "It's fine to dress up like this, and burn some incense in the camp."

"That incense is only useful to those with internal strength." Zhang Qiling glanced at him after speaking, and the blind man understood, meaning why you were not put into a deep sleep by that incense.

"I've noticed you for a long time, you smell like earth." The blind man touched his nose, "Shortly after you left, I started to have some problems with my eyes, which is said to be a genetic disease in my mother's family, hehe. So, just in case, I always train the other organs to be more sensitive."

"Eat it." Zhang Qiling threw a medicine bottle to Hei Xiazi, Hei Xiazi opened it and poured out a pill from it, and swallowed it without hesitation.Zhang Qiling silently watched Hei Xiazi's movements until Hei Xiazi threw the bottle back into his hand.

"What is this?" The blind man put a smile on his face, "And you haven't answered my question just now."

"□□." Zhang Qiling glanced at Hei Xiazi indifferently, and when he saw Hei Xiazi's unsurprising expression, he moved his eyes away.

"It's a long story." After speaking, Zhang Qiling continued the work that the blind man had done before he came in, and stopped talking, and the blind man stopped disturbing him when he saw this, but walked to the wall of the grotto and sat down to rest.

Although he said that he had eaten the so-called food, the black blind man still had a relaxed expression. After a while of silence, the black blind man felt bored again, and couldn't help but speak: "I said, what are you looking for? My fingers almost touched the grotto."

Probably because of Hei Xiazi's perseverance, Zhang Qiling finally stopped what he was doing and asked Hei Xiazi a strange question.

"Don't you think that when we came here from Mogao Grottoes, the probability of one thing appearing in the Buddha statues and murals is too small?" After Zhang Qiling finished speaking, he continued to explore the cave that was already on the verge of collapse.

The murals of the Mogao Grottoes can be called the treasure house of world art. There are rich stories of Buddha Jataka and statues of figures. There are Buddhas, Arhats, Feitian, Nine-colored Deer, and the real life of people who donated money to open the cave. What is missing?

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed from Heixiazi's mind, yes, this is it!

rotation motif.

Like many religious or mystical theories in the world, there is a very important element in Buddhist culture, which belongs to the motif of reincarnation in legends.This motif is related to where people go to live after death, and is indispensable in many idealistic philosophies.

The story of Buddha Jataka also belongs to the motif of reincarnation, but there is a painting of six reincarnations in Buddhism, which rarely appears in the murals here.The disk has a very special status in the category of occultism.For example, in the Tarot card, the Wheel of Fortune has a very extraordinary meaning.

But in Buddhism, even the heaven among the six realms has a longer life span and divine power than human beings, but it still cannot have eternal life.

Where is eternal life?

Beyond the six paths.

Buddha is no longer human.

Just when the blind man was going to continue to think deeply about why the murals of the Six Paths of Reincarnation seldom appear in Dunhuang murals, Zhang Qiling had already found the mechanism he was looking for, because the blind man saw a dim light in front of him, and when he looked up again, This grotto is full of all kinds of reincarnation murals, which make the whole grotto feel bizarre.

He saw that Zhang Qiling had already created a circular depression on the wall, and when he did something with his fingers inside, the mural on the wall changed.Before he could see what had happened to the mural, Zhang Qiling had already pulled out a cylindrical object from the wall. The position and light of the mural changed with the change of the object. Only then did the blind man realize that all the murals were It originated from this thing in Zhang Qiling's hand.

Zhang Qiling took out a piece of cloth to wrap his things, put it in his arms, and walked to the edge of the grotto without saying hello to him, when he shook the rope that was left on the edge of the grotto, it slid down.
