Ghost Blows Out the Light

"Partridge Whistle" doesn't know the secrets of Feng Shui, so he didn't understand the meaning of the second half of Elder Chen's sentence, so he asked, what is a "one-eyed dragon"?

Elder Liaochen looked at the moonlight in the sky and said: "The underground here is indeed a branch of Helan Mountain. It is a stealth dragon, but its body is unusually small, and there is only one hole in the dragon's head that can gather energy and store wind. Hence the name Cyclops, or Dragonfly Spotting Water.

Three stars of purple energy, if its shape is beautiful and fresh, it means that it is a loyal and righteous soldier; if its shape is like Kaohsiung mighty, it means that it is respected by military power.The purple air is like a tree, it is most forbidden to run around with branches and feet, the shape of the mountain is slanted and rugged, the face is bloated, and the top of the mountain is broken.

Due to the diversion of the Heishui River, the condition of this cave has long been broken, and the precious eye on the dragon's head has turned into a malignant tumor. If someone is buried inside, the latter will be in serious trouble. After finishing speaking, he pointed to the cold moon like a hook in the sky, and then said: "Look at the moonlight again. We didn't look at the almanac when we went out today. Unexpectedly, the moon's value is broken tonight. Every time the moon breaks, the Bodhisattva will close his eyes." "

"Partridge Whistle" is more skillful and courageous, plus the fact that the clan has searched for a thousand years of "Longchen Bead" may be in the Tongtian Great Buddha Temple at the foot, so how can we bear it until tomorrow before doing it? Elder Chen is right. Said: "It is said that there is an empty tomb under the Tongtian Great Buddha Temple. Since it is an empty tomb without an owner, I don't think it is necessary to treat it with common sense. After I open the robbery hole with a whirlwind shovel, I will return after taking the things. Let us be careful. That is, it is expected that there will be no mistakes."

Elder Liaochen was right when he thought about it, he was indeed over-concerned, this tomb is regarded as a treasure cave by the Xixia people, since there is no owner's house (there is no dead person in the tomb), it is not necessary to follow the common sense, what kind of light goes out and chickens crow without touching gold , There is no need to think about what three to take and three not to take, nine to dig and nine to not to dig, so I nodded in agreement.

"Partridge Whistle" took out a hollow copper rod from the package. The copper rod was hollow, and there was a machine inside. A wavy leaf made of fine steel is inserted into the front end of the copper rod like nine petals. There is a special slot lock spring in front of the copper rod. Once the steel leaf is inserted, it is immediately firmly fixed by the lock spring.

Finally, "Partridge Whistle" installed a rocker on the back of the copper rod to form a sharp tool for digging holes, "whirlwind shovel". This tool is stretchable and retractable, and the diameter of the hole can also be adjusted to expand or shrink .

"Partridge Whistle" turned the whirlwind shovel to dig a hole in the ground, and asked the American priest Thomas to help remove the sand brought out by the whirlwind shovel. Did you let me go? I didn’t expect you to arrange so many small programs for me. You must know that priests in the West are servants of God, and priests don’t need to do manual labor..."

"Partridge Whistle" and Elder Chen couldn't quite understand what the American was talking about, so he ignored him and concentrated on digging holes with the whirlwind shovel. After about a bag of cigarettes, The "whirlwind shovel" touched the roof tiles on the treasure hall of the Tongtian Great Buddha Temple. They are all large green scale glazed tiles, and the tiles on the edge are carved with statues of Arhats. It is not comparable to ordinary roof tiles. architecture.

Because the American priest Thomas stepped on a certain Buddhist temple and got stuck in it when he passed by here before, so it was not as expected by "Partridge Whistle" to get through so quickly, but he couldn't help a burst of joy in his heart.

"Partridge Whistle" uncovered more than a dozen pieces of green-scale glazed tiles in the sand nest, threw them outside, and hung the lanterns with ropes, and saw that under the layers of wooden beams, it was the splendid and magnificent Daxiong Palace, "Daxiong" It is the respectful title of Buddhists for Sakyamuni's moral mana, which means that the Buddha is fearless like a warrior, has boundless mana, and can subdue the four demons such as "five yin demons, trouble demons, death demons, and emperor demons". The horse lantern of "Partridge Whistle" can't see the distance clearly, only the main statue "Three-body Buddha" in the hall can be seen directly below.According to Buddhist teachings, the Buddha has three bodies, the Dharmakaya, the Retribution Body, and the Response Body, also known as the Three Avatars.Namely: the middle one is Dharmakaya Vairocana Buddha; the left one is Sakyamuni Lusana Buddha; the right one is Yingshen Buddha, that is, Sakyamuni Buddha.In front of the three-body Buddha, there is an iron-cast and clay-coated "Jieyin Buddha" standing opposite each other, and on both sides are seated statues of Manjushri and Samantabhadra.

Xixia Dharma is prosperous, it is expected that the scale of this hall will not be too small, "Partridge Whistle" nodded to Elder Chen, indicating that it is time to go down, "Partridge Whistle" has always been alone, and wanted to be alone Going down, Elder Liaochen is worried that there are traps in the treasure cave, and there are secret passages and hidden doors. Dealing with those things is originally the specialty of the "Captain Mojin", so he has to compete with "Partridge Whistle" If we go down together, we can take care of each other.

So the two each took a pill of "Chuanxin Guobaicao Pill" and sent it with a pot of "Qingtianlu". Hang it in your wrist, cover your face with a black cloth, wear water and fire shoes, and bring a set of tools, and you are about to set off.

"Partridge Whistle" suddenly remembered that the American priest was still poking at the side. Although that Father Thomas didn't look like a bad guy, he went to work with Elder Liaochen. It was not safe to leave a foreigner on top. What kind of malice, but it is also troublesome, it is better to take this fellow down, as long as he is obedient, it will be fine, otherwise let this foreigner go to the institution in the treasure cave.

"Partridge Whistle" had made up his mind, so he pulled the American priest over and planned to give him some secret medicine, so as to take him into the treasure cave. Father Thomas refused to take it, thinking that "Partridge Whistle" Wanting to give him the mysterious oriental poison, he quickly covered his mouth, "Partridge Whistle" didn't care what he thought, and poked the priest's ribs with his finger. The American priest opened his mouth in pain, and was skewered by "Partridge Whistle". The Xinguo Baicao Pill was stuffed into his mouth, and the American priest wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit, so he had to say to the sky helplessly: "Oh, merciful Lord, forgive them, they don't know what they are doing."

"Partridge Whistle" couldn't help but push the American priest Thomas into the hole in the roof of the Buddhist temple, took out the flying tiger claws, and wanted to hang him down first. Father Thomas was taken aback. These barbaric Orientals ate him up The poison is not finished yet, what kind of weird tricks do you want to come up with?Is it impossible to be buried alive?

The elder Liaochen persuaded: "This foreign monk, don't worry, I and you are both monks. I, the Buddha, are merciful. We monks are compassionate and kind. Moth Shade, of course, will not harm you, but what we do is confidential, and we cannot reveal the slightest bit of information, so please go with us, and after the matter is completed, we will definitely let you go back."

Father Thomas felt a little relieved when he heard what Elder Chen said. He thought that Chinese monks could be regarded as priests anyway. He had never heard of priests committing murder, so he asked "Partridge Whistle" to use flying tiger claws to kill He fell into the Buddhist temple through the hole.

Elder Liaochen and "Partridge Whistle" also went down to the Daxiong Palace, lit up the lanterns, and looked around, it turned out to be a majestic and beautiful Buddhist temple. On the stage, the treasure is solemn, and the inside of the hall is supported by 36 large pillars, which are extremely firm.

When Elder Liaochen saw the Buddha's precious appearance, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, and chanted the Buddha's name. "Partridge Whistle" used to be a fake Taoist priest, but now he knelt down and kowtowed in lay clothes, praying for the Buddha to show his spirit and protect the people from the boundless sea of ​​suffering. Heart is very sincere.

After the ceremony, the two stood up and looked around. They saw that the front hall had collapsed, and it was impossible to get through. The side halls on both sides were dedicated to countless statues of arhats, and more than half of them had collapsed. The materials and decorations are all first-class and elegant, and each one is of great value, which shows the strength of Xixia and the prosperity of Buddhism.

It's just that these Buddha statues are a little different from the ones "Partridge Whistle" and others usually see in various temples, and I can't tell what the difference is, but I feel that the shape is a bit weird.

Elder Liaochen told "Partridge Whistle": "The Xixia people are mainly from the Dangxiang clan. The Dangxiang people originated in Tibet. Later, they assisted the king of Tang to expand the territory and made a lot of contributions. They were given the surname Li. After all, they They are ethnic minorities, and Tibetan Buddhism is much more influenced by India than in the mainland. These Buddha statues are all dressed in Tang suits, and their image is closer to the original form of the birthplace of Buddhism. Unlike the Buddha statues in the temples in the mainland, they are greatly influenced by Han culture. Deep, so it looks slightly different."

"Partridge Whistle" agreed with Elder Liaochen that the treasure cave of the Western Xia Kingdom should be not far from the Great Hall of Great Heroes, and may even be in the Great Hall of Great Heroes, because since a tomb was built under the temple, since it is a tomb, Of course, it should be repaired at the Feng Shui level. The acupuncture points of this channel are very small, so the range should be delineated near the main hall.

The American priest Thomas followed the "Partridge Whistle" around the temple. The more he looked at it, the more he felt strange. How could they just dig a temple in this inconspicuous and barren place? I glanced at the exquisite statues of arhats inside. They seem to be familiar with each other. It seems that the cave I fell into a few years ago is there. I entered it by accident. How did this old monk find the stars so accurately after looking at the stars in the sky? There are so many mysterious and incredible things in the eastern world. People, I have a little more awe, and I dare not talk nonsense anymore.

The three of them walked around the Daxiong Hall of Tongtian Great Buddha Temple twice. They searched almost every brick and tile, but they didn't find any entrance to the treasure cave.

"Partridge Whistle" said to Elder Chen: "There is nothing unusual in the main hall, you might as well go to the back hall to look for it."

Elder Liaochen nodded and said: "Since you've already entered, don't be impatient. Search carefully from front to back. This place is called Tongtian Great Sleeping Buddha Temple. It can be seen that the reclining Buddha is dedicated in the back hall. Let's go and have a look."

In the passage connecting the apse, there is a colorful painting of the "Picture of Ceremony to Buddha" of the Song Dynasty. Most of the pictures are decorated with lotus flowers, which makes people feel peaceful and carefree, transcending the mundane, and washing away the worldly thoughts in their hearts.

"Partridge Whistle" has been with Elder Liaochen recently, and after listening to a lot of Buddhist teachings, the hostility in his heart has decreased a lot. Now that he is in this underground Buddhist hall, he suddenly feels very tired. Shi Shi felt an indescribable boredom with the inverting activities in his heart, he only hoped that he could find the "Muchen Bead" smoothly this time, and settle the matter. In the future, he would follow Elder Chen to clean up in the ancient temple and get through this time. Best rest of life.

But this kind of thought is fleeting, and "Partridge Whistle" knows better than anyone else that there must be no slack and negligence at this time. Right now, he must concentrate all his energy to find the entrance of the Xixia Treasure Cave.

Thinking like this while walking, we went to the apse. As expected by Elder Chen, the apse was even more magnificent, a huge stone Buddha decorated with seven treasures, sleeping horizontally in the hall.

The general large-scale reclining Buddhas are built according to the mountain situation. Some of them have processed the whole undulating peaks to have a natural Buddha state. Its smallness has no interior, all of which express the boundlessness of Buddhism.

However, the huge Sleeping Buddha in the back hall is much smaller than those made of mountains, but it is too big compared to ordinary people who are more than one meter tall, with a body length of more than fifty meters. , big earlobe, sleeping peacefully on the lotus platform.

There is a huge celadon vat on both sides of the Sleeping Buddha Hall, which is filled with solidified "Longzhilong Paste". This kind of lamp oil can be burned continuously for more than a hundred years. I also use this kind of lamp oil, but now the lamp has run out of oil and the lamp is dry.

There are still many stone tablets in the Hall of Sleeping Buddha, all of which are engraved with extremely complicated Xixia characters. They should be all inscriptions of Buddhist allusions. By the way, Elder Chen said: "This Sleeping Buddha's posture is wrong, and this disciple thinks there must be something strange in it."

Elder Liaochen looked at it for a long time, and felt that there was something wrong with the Sleeping Buddha, and said: "Well...you can see it too, you are indeed a master at moving mountains and dividing armor, this Buddha head is a mechanism, it seems that the secret path of the treasure cave , even on the head of this Buddha, the structure of this mechanism is still unclear for a while, be careful when you move it, it will be dangerous."

"Partridge Whistle" took the lead, clasped his hands together, bowed to the Sleeping Buddha twice, and then jumped onto the Buddhist altar, only to see a not-so-obvious slit on the Sleeping Buddha's lips, which seemed to be able to open and close. If it weren't for the master of touching the golden mountain, it would not have noticed this detail at all.

The Buddha's mouth is likely to be the entrance of the passage, and once triggered, there will be mechanisms for hurting people such as throwing knives and hidden arrows. "Partridge Whistle" has carefully studied this mechanism, and he already knows this mechanism well. There would be some hidden weapon, but it was just a barrel-style channel interface, so I called the American priest Thomas for help, and the two of them pulled the petals in the middle layer of the lotus flower bed.

Hearing a few muffled "clicks", the huge Buddha's mouth of the Sleeping Buddha slowly opened. The Sleeping Buddha is facing the gate, and a shaft is vertically exposed in the Buddha's mouth. There is a hanging ladder on the wall of the shaft, which can be climbed from the ladder. down.

Father Thomas was baffled by it, and repeatedly praised how amazing it was. This time, he didn't need to use the "Partridge Whistle" to do it, but he took the initiative to climb into the shaft to see what else was going on inside.

"Partridge Whistle" knew that this treasure cave was originally the tomb of an important official of the Western Xia Dynasty, and later hidden the rare treasures of the Western Xia court. A powerful mechanism, let the American priest go in first and let him go to die. This priest is a good person, and "Partridge Whistle" couldn't bear to let him die in the tomb, so he stopped him behind and let him follow him. After Elder Chen died, proceed in this order.

The ancient tombs of the Western Xia Dynasty are special. Few tomb robbers have come into contact with them. No one knows the situation inside. They only know that it is deeply influenced by Han culture. After entering, they have to take a step by step based on their experience. Elder Liaochen knows that "Partridge Whistle "Fenqiu is an expert in piercing the armor. With him opening the way in front and taking every step of the way, there will be no mistakes.

In order to detect the airflow below, "Partridge Whistle" handed over the lantern to Elder Chen, and installed the phosphorus tube on the diamond umbrella himself. The diamond umbrella is the shield used by "Mojin Xiaowei" to resist the hidden weapons in the tomb, and the whole body is made of steel. Iron leaf, no matter how powerful the machine is, it cannot penetrate it.

Phosphorus tube is a device that combines air quality detection and lighting into one. If explained by modern science, it can be regarded as a kind of bioluminescence, just like fireflies, and some marine organisms that can emit light. Phosphorus tube The inside is made of dead human bones and ground into powder, mixed with the froth of velvet red weed. After being ignited, it emits a blue and cold light, and it can last for half an hour when it is full.

The "Partridge Whistle" is illuminated by a phosphorescent tube, and a vajra umbrella is used to protect the body under the flying tiger claws. It slowly descends along the ladder. After a while, it feels tight in the chest. It seems that this is a closed space. If it is not used The secret medicine will definitely suffocate and fall into a coma and die.

"Partridge Whistle" raised his head and asked how the elder Liaochen and the American priest above were doing, whether they need to go up first, and then come down after they have had enough breath below, the two indicated that nothing happened, this situation is still within the tolerance range, already After more than half of the climb, let's continue to the bottom.

"Partridge Whistle" and others climbed down the shaft for about one cup of tea (three to five minutes for a cigarette, ten to 5 minutes for a cup of tea, twenty to three to ten minutes for a meal) and then descended end.

There are cold stone walls all around the shaft, which is very dry. "Partridge Whistle" held up the phosphorescent tube and turned around to see the surrounding conditions. He raised his eyes and didn't speak, he swung the sharp axe with both hands, aimed at the "partridge whistle" and chopped it off.
