Chapter 656 Buddha Cave!
ps:??The internet is out of the way, and the update has been delayed, so please forgive me...
"Buddha, so many golden Buddhas, we are about to develop..." After a long time, the little fat man's ecstatic screams rang out, which led to the trance of everyone's mind back into the real world.
"Amitabha." At this moment, Monk Lianshan didn't know whether to be surprised or happy. He was very excited and kept reciting the Buddha's name, but he couldn't calm down.
After all, Monk Lianshan is also a human being, and has not seen through everything and completely separated from the world.
If the cave is full of gold, silver and treasures, maybe he is not as excited as he is now. The problem is that the cave has no treasures, but it is a golden Buddha statue all over the sky. For a devout monk, this place is simply a paradise... No, it should be the Western Paradise, the Buddha's kingdom.
"...Look at me, everyone." At this moment, Fang Yuan pointed his hand and reminded softly: "Where are they?"
"Um?"
At the right time, the other people barely diverted their sight. Sure enough, they saw that there were indeed a few people lying in the wide cave. And on the flat ground, blood marks and knife edges left behind could be seen everywhere.
In an instant, everyone's hearts were terrified and they immediately woke up completely. You must know that they are now deeply in the tiger's den, and it may not be safe. "Brush!"
Without Fan Li's instructions, the two men holding shields in their left hand and stick in their right hand immediately blocked the front, and then moved away from the road step by step. The others followed him and formed a circular formation, which penetrated into the cave bit by bit.
"I saw you, come out!" The little fat man screamed, scaring the others.
"...Where are the person?" Everyone's hair became shattered and their hearts were raised. The atmosphere was very tense.
After a while, the fat man smiled awkwardly: "I just said it casually, trying to scare them. Unexpectedly, they didn't scare them, but instead scared everyone."
When He Shengliang heard this, he was furious and said in a furious manner: "Boy, don't look at the current situation. Can you just be fooled? Go back and deal with you..."
"Okay, let's say a few less words." Fan Li persuaded him in reverse: "Let's go and see the situation first."
The tense atmosphere of everyone was eliminated by the little fat man's disturbance. However, they remained vigilant and slowly approached those people. They also saw the situation in the cave more clearly.
The cave is wide, narrow at the top and large at the bottom, round, like an upside-down bowl. The middle is empty and there is nothing to hide, so there is no fear of being attacked. By the way, there are two burnt yellow marks left by the explosion, as well as several broken hands and feet, and a smoke of smoke mixed with bloody disgusting breath...
"Vomit!" The little fat man vomited, bent down to cover his nose and vomited wildly.
After all, in a peaceful era, such tragic scenes can only be seen in film and television novels. The problem is that all the film and television novels are beautified versions, and they are definitely not as intuitive as they are now.
Not to mention the fat guy, even the knowledgeable Fan Li and the monk Lianshan, who saw the corpses everywhere in front of him, their eyebrows were beating and they couldn't bear to look at them.
"Master, it seems that they are really fighting in the internal strife and killed each other." He Shengliang patted the fat man's back while talking to divert his attention so as not to vomit.
"Man dies for money and birds die for food, which is really a famous saying for all ages." Fan Li sneered, and also felt a little sigh.
"Amitabha!" Monk Lianshan sighed with gratitude: "Why is this trouble..."
"Yes, it's ridiculous and sad to fight to the death for a pile of stones." Fang Yuan shook his head, but it made the others stunned and shocked.
"What stone?" Although the fat man vomited so much that his stomach was sore and bitter, he couldn't help but raise his head and retorted weakly: "Is these obviously gold good?"
"Gold?" Fang Yuan sneered, pointed to a corner of the cave and said, "Have you seen that after being exploded, all gold is shattered?"
The others were stunned and naturally looked at it hurriedly. Avoiding the vague flesh and blood, they saw that some Buddha statues were shattered on the stone wall of the cave due to the explosion.
However, compared with other very gorgeous Buddha statues that float and are floating in golden light, these broken Buddha statues have a little yellow light on the surface, but the inside is the true color of stone.
"Gold and jade outside, and shaved inside!"
At first glance, everyone naturally thought of this idiom, and then naturally thought of the Buddha statues shining with golden light, like gold, shouldn't it be the same?
"Impossible..." The little fat man stopped vomiting, jumped up and ran directly towards the Buddha statue on the nearby stone wall.
The others could not stop them, or did not have the intention to stop them. Their eyes followed the little fat man's figure and came to the stone wall Buddha statues, watching him reach out to touch the gorgeous Buddha statues as gold.
The little fat man's palm fell on a half-meter-high Buddha statue. After rubbing for a while, he trembled all over and slowly turned his head, showing a smile that was even worse than crying: "It seems like a stone, but it's just a layer of gold powder on the surface..."
"Impossible!" Fan Li became suspicious, or he didn't want to believe it.
"Master, this is true." The little fat man said as if he was crying and laughing: "If you don't believe me, come and see. If I rub it, I will stick a layer of powder on my palm, and the light on the Buddha statue has become much dimmed."
Under the reminder of the little fat man, others noticed this detail. Not to mention the Buddha statues that the little fat man caressed, in fact, most Buddha statues in the cave are the same, with many dull and dull existences.
People's vision is deceptive, or they are willing to believe in the good side and are reluctant to face the bad side. When watching the dense Buddha statues, they only pay attention to the golden Buddha statues, and selectively ignore the dull Buddha statues.
Now that you look carefully, you will find that the dull Buddha statues seem to be carved from stone. They may have been painted with gold powder before, but as time goes by, the golden powder weathers and disappears, and naturally they are dull.
"Amitabha." Monk Lianshan calmed down his Zen heart and said happily: "It turns out that this is a Buddha cave similar to the Dunhuang Grottoes and Longmen Grottoes. How lucky!"
"This is inevitable." Fang Yuanma said in a back shot: "Think about it, the cave is so big, and there are countless Buddha statues. There are hundreds of Buddha statues just over ten meters high, plus thousands of Buddha statues of all sizes. If these Buddha statues are made of gold, how much gold should be consumed?"
"To be honest, let alone China's gold reserves, even if it collects gold from countries around the world, it may not be able to fill it up here."
Fang Yuan sighed lightly: "So, the so-called treasures of Buddha's kingdom may refer to these Buddhist treasures. The Buddhists in southern Fujian spent hundreds of years constantly transporting money and grain here, probably not for storage, but for the sake of building a large Buddhist cave between the mountains and ridges, and formed a real Buddha's kingdom."
"...This inference makes some sense, but this huge project has been completed. Why is it unreasonable to not reveal any news at all?" Fan Li asked, thinking that the Buddhist sect was so full that he had nothing to do. Is it okay to store money and grain well?
If the project has not been completed, it is understandable that it needs to be kept confidential. After all, it is kept confidential. Only when the Buddha Cave is opened will it have the effect of publicity and become famous all over the world. However, if the Buddha Cave is completed, no one will promote it, which is a bit difficult to understand.
"This project has not been completed." At the same time, Monk Lianshan shook his head and said, "Master Fan, I can guarantee that this Buddha cave is only half completed and has not been completely formed."
"What?" Fan Li was stunned: "What do you say?"
"Master Fan doesn't know anything." Monk Lianshan sighed and said with emotion: "If I read it correctly, the creation of this Buddha cave should be based on the legendary Western Paradise as the template."
"The Buddha told the elder Shariputra: From the west, there are ten trillion Buddha lands in the world called Pure Land, and there is a Buddha named Amitabha in the land. Now we are preaching."
"Why is that land called Pure Land? The sentient beings in this country have no suffering, but only receive all happiness, so they are called Pure Land. The land of Pure Land, seven layers of railings, seven layers of scrolls, and seven layers of walking trees are all four treasures, surrounded by surroundings, so that the country is called Pure Land."
"The Pure Land has a seven-treasure pool and eight merit waters, which fill it. The bottom of the pool is purely covered with golden sand... The lotus in the pool is as big as a wheel, blue, green light, yellow, yellow light, red, red light, white, white light, subtle and fragrant and clean."
While explaining, Monk Lianshan pointed at the Buddha carvings and carvings on the stone walls of the cave. Everyone compared them one by one and naturally found that what he was talking about was the fact. The carvings of the entire Buddha cave were indeed built according to the description of the Western Paradise.
"What a great ambition." Many people were shocked, and then they knew that Monk Lianshan was right. This seemingly spectacular Buddhist cave was indeed not completely completed.
"But this is enough." Monk Lianshan changed his words and said excitedly: "This is a great discovery that can rewrite the discovery of modern Buddhist history. Every sculpture here can be called a Buddha treasure, a rare Buddhist treasure in the world..."
When the others heard this, they didn't look much excited.
Yes, for monk Lianshan, this cave is equivalent to another Dunhuang and Longmen Grottoes, and is a thousand-year-old event for Buddhism. But for others, the treasures that imagined were all stones. This is like taking off all their clothes in the middle of winter and being poured down by a basin of snow water from the beginning, making them both cold in body and mind.
"Oh, it's a waste of time!" The little fat man murmured in a low voice: "It's not worth the loss."
This complaint was a bit loud. When others heard it, they could not help but empathize with it while pretending not to hear it.
