Chapter 85 The Great Buddha Temple

“Partridge Whistle” does not understand the secret art of feng shui, so did not understand the second half of the sentence of Elder Dust, so he asked, what is the “one-eyed dragon”?

Dust Elder looked at the moonlight in the sky and said: “Here underground, is indeed a branch of Helan Mountain, the end is a sneaky dragon, but the body is unusually small, and only the head of a cave eye can gather gas to hide the wind, so the name of the one-eyed dragon, or dragonfly pointing to the water.

Purple gas three stars, if the shape of its beautiful and fresh, the Lord for the loyalty of the scholar, its shape if the high and mighty, the Lord military power respect. Purple gas like a tree, the most avoided branches and feet running, mountain shape interjection rugged, face bloated, broken head, all these are bad shape, buried more often born in the rebellious and criminal generation.

Due to the diversion of the Blackwater River, the situation of this cave has long been broken, this precious eye on the dragon’s head, on the contrary, has become a tumor, and if there is a person buried inside, it should be the latter is really a lot of trouble.” Said pointed to the cold moon in the sky like a hook, and then said: “you look at the moon, we did not read the calendar today, I did not expect that tonight is the value of the moon is broken, the moon is broken, the bodhisattva have to close their eyes.”

“Partridge Whistle” high art is even more courageous, coupled with the clan to find a thousand years of “dust beads” may be in the foot of the Tongtian Buddha Temple, where can still hold back until tomorrow to do it again, then said to the dust Elder: “Legend has it that under the Tongtian Buddha Temple is an empty tomb. Legend has it that under the Great Buddha Temple is an empty tomb, since it is an empty tomb without a master, I thought that there is no need to be common sense, to be disciple to whirlwind shovel to open the robber’s hole, take the things to return, we are careful and cautious is that, I expect there will not be any mistakes.”

Dust Elder thought about it, indeed is too much to worry about, this tomb is the Western Xia people as a treasure cave, since there is no main family (no dead people in the tomb), can not follow the common sense, what lights out of the chicken is not touching the gold, what three to take three do not take, nine digging nine do not dig, do not have to think about it, and then nodded his head to agree.

“Partridge whistle” from the package took out a hollow copper stick, copper stick hollow, inside the organic bracket, the stick body has been rubbed by hand shiny, I do not know how far back in history, and took out nine pieces of steel to build the wave leaf, like nine petals inserted in the front of the copper stick in front of the copper stick with a special slot locking springs, the steel leaf inserted, it was immediately fixed firmly by the locking spring. Immediately by the lock spring firmly fixed.

Finally, “partridge whistle” and installed a rocker after the copper stick, it is composed of a hole in the thief’s sharp tool “whirlwind shovel”, this tool can be stretched out and shrink, the diameter of the open hole can also be adjusted to expand and shrink.

“Partridge Whistle” rotates the cyclone shovel to make holes in the ground, letting the American priest Thomas help to remove the sand brought out by the cyclone shovel, the American priest Thomas had no choice but to work while complaining: “Didn’t you agree in advance that you would release me when you arrived at the place? I can’t imagine that you guys have arranged so many little programs for me, knowing that in the West priests are God’s servants, and clergy are not required to engage in physical labor ……”

“Partridge whistle” with the dust elders do not quite understand what this American chattering, so do not pay attention to him, fully concentrated with the whirlwind shovel holes, after about a bag of cigarettes, “whirlwind shovel” touched the roof tiles on the Tongtian Great Buddha Temple temple The roof tiles on the throne hall of the Tongtian Buddha Temple are all large-scale green glazed tiles, with Lohan statues carved on the edge of the tiles, which are not comparable to ordinary roof tiles, and it is obvious at a glance that it is the main building of a large-scale temple.

Because the American priest Thomas previously passed by here, once stepped on a certain Buddha Hall, sunk in, so so quickly open is not out of the “Partridge Whistle” expected, but the heart can not help but a burst of joy.

“Partridge whistle” in the sandy nest of the green scale glazed tiles, uncovered a dozen pieces, thrown to the outside, with a rope hanging down the lamp, only to see a layer of wooden beams below, it is the brilliant magnificent Maharaja Hall, “Maharaja” is a Buddhist on the Shakyamuni moral and legal power of the title, meaning that the Buddha is as fearless as a warrior, and the Buddha has no fear of the enemy. It means that the Buddha is as fearless as a warrior, with unlimited power, able to subdue the “five yin demon, trouble demon, death demon, heavenly devil” and other four demons. “Partridge Whistle” horse lights can not see far away, can only see directly below is the main statue of the temple “three-bodied Buddha”. According to Buddhist teachings, Buddha has the body, the body, the body of three, also known as the three incarnations of Buddha. That is: in the body of the Dharma Vishnu Shakyamuni Buddha; left for the body of Rushena Buddha; right for the body of the Buddha, that is, Shakyamuni Buddha. Three incarnations of Buddha in front of the iron casting clay “to attract the Buddha” statue standing opposite each other, on both sides of the Manjushri Bodhisattva, Puxian Bodhisattva sitting statue.

Western Xia Buddhism flourished, expected that the scale of this hall will not be small to where, “Partridge Whistle” to the dust elder nodded, indicating that you can go down, “Partridge Whistle” has always been alone, would like to go down alone, the dust elder worried about the treasure cave with organs and traps! And there are dark passages and dark doors and other blindfolds, against those things, originally is “gold detectives” are good at, they want to go down with the “partridge whistle”, each other or have a care.

So the two of them each served a “string heart confection hundred grass pills”, with a pot of “Prime Dew” sent down, these are to prevent in the air circulation in the environment to produce unconsciousness of the secret medicine, and then the touch of gold talisman hanging in the wrist, with a black cloth to cover the face, wearing the water and fire shoes, bring a should be Tools, to move down.

“Partridge whistle” suddenly remembered that the American priest is still poking at the side, that Thomas priest although not like a bad guy, but he and the dust of the elders go down to work, above to stay a foreigner, is not too secure, he wants to have what in case of malice, but also troublesome, it is better to take this guy also down, if he obediently just, otherwise let this foreigner Go to roll this treasure hole in the organs.

“Partridge Whistle” heart calculation has been determined, then the American priest pulled over, ready to give him also eat some secret medicine, so as to take him into the treasure hole, Father Thomas dead or alive also refused to eat, that “Partridge Whistle” want to give him to eat the mysterious poison of the Orient, hastily covered his mouth, “Partridge Whistle” to give him the mysterious poison of the Orient. “Partridge Whistle” which cares about how he thinks, with a finger poke the priest’s ribs, the American priest painfully opened his mouth, it was “Partridge Whistle” the skewered heart of the confectionery pills stuffed into the mouth, the American priest wanted to spit has not been able to spit it out, so he had to helplessly to the sky and said: “Oh, merciful Lord, forgive them, they don’t know what they’re doing.”

“Partridge Whistle” without saying, then pushed the American priest Thomas into the broken hole in the roof of the temple, took out the flying tiger claws, to hang him first, Father Thomas was shocked, these barbaric Orientals, gave himself poison is not enough, but also want to get up some weird tricks? Are they going to bury him alive?

Dust Elder in the side persuaded: “This foreign monk, you can rest assured, my line and you are a monk, my Buddha great mercy, we are a monk is compassion for this, good thoughts for the bosom, sweeping the ground does not hurt the life of the ants, love the moths sand shrouded lamp, naturally will not harm with you, only we do things confidential, can not reveal half a bit of the wind, so please you with a walk, after the completion of the matter, will certainly let You will definitely be released after this is accomplished.”

Father Thomas heard Elder Dust said so, a little feel at ease, thinking that in any case, Chinese monks are also regarded as clergymen, never heard of clergymen engaged in murder, so let the “Partridge Whistle” with a flying tiger claw to drop him into the Buddha temple through the broken hole.

Dust Elder and “partridge whistle” also followed down to the Maharishi Temple, light up the lamp, a light in all directions, is really a majestic and gorgeous Buddha Temple, the temple enshrines the Buddha on all the jewels, gold and blue, high seat and the lotus platform, the solemnity of the treasure, the temple around the use of thirty-six pillars to support the extremely solid.

Dust Elder saw the Buddha’s face, immediately kneel down and kowtow, chanting Buddha’s name, “Partridge Whistle” used to be a fake Taoist priest, now wearing layman’s clothing, also kneel down and kowtow, praying for Buddha to show his spirit, blessing the people from the boundless sea of bitterness, the heart of the very sincere.

The two salute, stand up and look around, see the front hall has collapsed, simply can not pass, both sides of the hall, are tributed to countless Lohan statue, one side also collapsed more than half of the room, those Lohan statue are exquisite luxury, with material decoration are first-class examination, each one is worth a lot of money, visible when the Western Xia national strength, Buddhism’s prosperity and development.

Just these statues with the “partridge whistle” and other people usually see in various temples in some different, can not say where the difference is that the shape of some odd.

Dust Elder told “Partridge Whistle”: “Western Xia people to the Dangkang ethnic group, Dangkang people originated in Tibet, and then helped the Tang King to open up the territory, really made a lot of sweat and toil, was given the national surname Li, they are, after all, ethnic minorities, and Tibetan Buddhism by the influence of India than the mainland to be much larger, these Buddha statues wearing all Tang clothes, the image is closer to the original form of the birthplace of Buddhism, unlike the Buddha statues in the mainland temples, by the deep influence of Han culture, so it looks a little discrepancy.”

“Partridge Whistle” with the Dust Elder agreed that the Western Xia’s treasure cave, should be not far away from the Maharishi Treasure Hall, and may even be in the Maharishi Treasure Hall, because since the temple under the repair of a tomb, since it is a tomb, of course, should be repaired in the feng shui location, this vein of the cave is very small, so the scope should be able to be circled in the vicinity of the hall.

The American priest Thomas followed the “partridge whistle” in the temple wandering around, the more you look at the more strange, how in this unobtrusive barren land, they casually digging, can dig out a temple, and just in the side of the temple to look at the two eyes, inside the exquisite statues of luohan, déjà vu, as if a few years ago he fell into the cave, is there, and that was inadvertently into the cave, and then the other day, he fell into the cave. That is unintentionally into the, after a few years if you want to go back to find, certainly can not find, this old monk how to look at the stars in the sky to find so accurately, the Oriental world of mysterious and incredible things are too much, think of these, Father Thomas heart will be on the dust of the Elder and the “Partridge Whistle” duo, more than a few points of reverence! The intention, do not dare to talk too much nonsense.

Three people on Tongtian Buddha Temple in the Mahamudra turned around twice, almost every piece of brick and tile are turned over, but did not find what the entrance to the treasure cave.

“Partridge Whistle” said to Elder Dusty: “In the main hall, I have not seen anything strange, so I might as well go to the back hall to look for it.”

Elder Dust nodded and said, “Since we have already come in, don’t be in a hurry, look carefully from the front to the back, this place is called the Tongtian Great Sleeping Buddha Temple, it can be seen that the back hall is a reclining Buddha, let’s go over there and take a look.”

Connected to the back of the hall in the passage, painted with the Song Dynasty “ritual Buddha map”, the map is embellished with lotus flowers, the view is quiet and carefree, out of the ordinary and beyond the dust, a wash of the heart of the secular idea.

“Partridge whistle” recently long and the dust together with the elders, listened to a lot of Buddhist theory, the heart of that hostility is much less, at the moment in this underground Buddha hall of fame, suddenly produced a very tired feeling, a time in the heart of the collapsing hook, there is a kind of indescribable boredom, I hope that this time to be able to find smoothly! “雮尘珠”，了却大事，日后就随了尘长老在古刹中清修，渡此余生最好。

But this thought fleeting, “partridge whistle” heart than anyone knows, this time can not have a hint of slack slack, now to focus all the energy to find the entrance to the Western Xia treasure cave.

This kind of walking and thinking, on the line to the back of the hall, as expected, not out of the dust elder, the back of the hall is even more magnificent, a huge stone Buddha decorated by the seven treasures, sleeping horizontally in the temple.

General large-scale reclining Buddha is based on the mountain and repair, some are the entire rolling mountain peaks after processing, more naturally occurring Buddha state, its large stand heaven grounded, its small and can be contained within the mustard seed, its large no outside, its small no inside, all expressed the boundlessness of the Buddha’s law.

However, this huge sleeping Buddha in the back of the hall, compared to those who repair the mountain range, can be much smaller, but and more than a meter high compared to the ordinary people, but also seems too big, its body length of more than fifty meters, big ears drooping Lun, sleeping on the lotus platform.

Sleeping Buddha Hall on both sides of a celadon vat, which is full of already solidified “trapped trapped in the oil”, this lamp oil can be burned continuously for more than a hundred years without extinguishing, the tribute to the Buddha’s long-lasting glazed marigolds, also with this lamp oil, but now has long since run out of oil.

Sleeping Buddha Hall there are many stone tablets, engraved all the complicated incomparable Western Xia language, should be some Buddhist allusions and so on the inscription, “partridge whistle” before and after the turn around, and finally put his eyes on the big sleeping Buddha, to the dust of the elders said: “this sleeping Buddha posture is not right, disciples think that there must be odd. ”

Dust Elder looked at it for a long time, also feel that the sleeping Buddha has a problem, said: “Well …… you also see out, worthy of being the master of moving mountains and dividing armors, this Buddha head is a mechanism, it seems that the secret passage of the treasure cave, even in this Buddha head, the mechanism of the construction of a moment is still do not see to understand, be careful to move it will be There is danger.”

“Partridge whistle” led a yes, hands together, to the sleeping Buddha worship twice, and then jumped on the Buddha altar, only to see that the sleeping Buddha’s lips there is a less obvious gap, seems to be able to open and close, if not to touch the gold like a mountain of masters, would not have noticed this detail.

Buddha’s mouth is likely to be the entrance to the channel, and once triggered, there will be flying knives, hidden arrows and other injurious organs, “Partridge Whistle” carefully scrutinized once, already know this organ like the palm of his hand, the entrance should not have any hidden weapons, but only a set of barrel-type channel joints, and then greeted the United States priest Thomas help, the two men trigger the lotus altar in the middle of the lotus altar, the two men triggered the lotus altar in the middle of the lotus altar. The two of them pulled the petals of the middle layer of the lotus altar.

Suddenly heard “click, click, click” a few muffled sounds, the huge mouth of the sleeping Buddha slowly opened, the sleeping Buddha is facing the door, the mouth of the Buddha vertically reveals a vertical shaft, vertical shaft walls are installed with a ladder, you can climb down from the ladder.

Father Thomas look puzzled, and marveled too magical, this time without the “Partridge Whistle” hands, took the initiative to climb into the shaft to see what else is inside.

“Partridge Whistle” knows that the treasure cave was originally the grave of the Western Xia ministers, and then hid the Western Xia court of the exotic treasures, if the place of burial of the dead is just, the chamber put so important treasures, there must be extremely powerful organs, let the American priest advanced to go and let him go to his death, the priest is good, the priest is good, the priest is good. “Partridge whistle” can not bear to let him die in the tomb, then he stopped him behind, let him follow his own, the dust of the elders break the back, according to this order down.

Western Xia ancient tombs have special characteristics, almost nothing tomb robbers have touched, inside the situation who do not know, only know that its far-reaching influence by the Han culture, we can only go in after the experience to take a step to see a step, Dust Elder knows that the “Partridge Whistle” is a division of the mound of broken armor of the connoisseur, with him in the front of the road, step by step, there will be no mistakes! The partridge whistle is an expert in breaking armor.

“Partridge Whistle” in order to detect the air flow below, the horse lamp handed over to the dust elders, their phosphorus tube mounted on the umbrella of the vajra, the vajra umbrella is the “Goldfinger” used to defend the tomb against hidden weapons of the shield, the whole body of the steel bones and iron leaves, and then the strong machine can not penetrate the jungle.

Phosphorus tube is a kind of detection of air quality and lighting in one device, take modern science to explain words, can be regarded as a kind of biological light, like fluorescent firebugs, there are some will be glowing sea creatures, phosphorus tube inside the dead people’s bones are ground into powder, with flannel reddish glare grass crushed froth, lighted to emit a blue cold light, filled with can be maintained for half an hour.

“Partridge whistle” to phosphorescent tube lighting, the following with flying tiger claws fell on the vajra umbrella protection, along the ladder slowly down, not long will feel chest suffocation, it seems that this is under the closed space, if not with the secret medicine, will suffocate coma fall down fall to death.

“Partridge Whistle” raised his head and asked above the dust elders and the United States how the priest, whether they need to go up first, and so the following for enough air and then come down, the two indicated that nothing, this situation is still within the range of tolerance, has climbed more than half of it, then go down to the end of it.

“Partridge whistle” and other people to the shaft climbed about a tea time, (a cigarette for three to five minutes, a tea for ten to fifteen minutes, a meal for twenty to thirty minutes) down to the bottom.

Under the shaft are surrounded by cold stone walls, very dry, “partridge whistle” holding a phosphorescent tube turn, want to see the surrounding situation, suddenly opposite the silent turn out of a gold helmet and gold armor of the warrior, cross-eyed, do not talk, both hands swung up sharp axe, aimed at “partridge whistle Partridge Whistle” head will be chopped.
