Chapter 18
Steven can drive, so he drove the black blind man to buy a bag of Indian flying cakes and then went straight to the Buddhist temple. Sure enough, most of the archaeological team rushed to the scene early because they heard that the night watchman of the Buddhist temple was beaten unconscious , didn't even have breakfast, the black blind man threw the Indian flying pancake, and many people came over and took a piece of pancake to eat.
"What about them?" The blind man handed Professor Liu a cigarette, and what he asked was Pan Ziqi's abacus and two Zhangs.
"They went down to check the situation. The Buddhist temple is just a relic, and there is nothing valuable, so they were all worried that there was something wrong with the entrance to the Buddhist kingdom, so they went down."
As soon as Professor Liu finished speaking, he saw that Pan Zi had come up from the bottom of the cave, and when he saw the black blind man, he nodded his head as a greeting, and the black blind man also pointed at the cake: "A piece?"
"Thank you." Pan Zi clapped his hands after he climbed up, picked up a piece of flying cake and gnawed it. A person like him who has been on the battlefield is not so particular. If you can’t find the mechanism, consider using the method of blasting to enter. Another person in charge of the Indian side said that the Buddhist reliefs are important relics, and they must not be allowed to destroy them.”
"So lively?" Heixia smiled and lit a cigarette for himself. Pan Zi frowned slightly at this person for no reason. It was probably because of this perception that nothing could interfere with this person's appearance of playing in the world. Somewhat unhappy.But Hei Xiazi didn't do anything to affect the team, so he didn't let his personal opinion of this person superficial.
"I'll go down and have a look." Just when Pan Zi felt that it would be useless to talk to Hei Xiazi about the situation in the cave, Hei Xiazi said something unexpectedly. Pan Zi felt that he had seen a lot of people, but Hei Xiazi Such people are really rare.
This kind of person seems to always have his own pace, and will not change his rhythm because of unexpected events. If you think he should have a sense of teamwork, he will not care much. When you think he has no sense of responsibility, He unexpectedly offered to help.
However, this person has not been a Daoist for a long time, and he usually does some work that needs to be solved after he goes to the field or encounters something in the house, so the information about him is very limited. Pan Zi has no idea what this person's ability is. end.Maybe, what the blind man said was just to have a look.
When the black blind man went down to the stone relief, the atmosphere of several people seemed to be not good. The person in charge of the Indian side and several professors of the archaeological team seemed to have disagreements with the gold-rimmed glasses, and they couldn't settle down.Qi Suan was very calm. At this time, he probably felt that it was difficult to argue for a result, and he began to fiddle with his abacus again. He is really a talent.
"Oh, hello, I told everyone not to hurt your temper any more, how about listening to me?" The blind man smiled at the crowd, and both sides in the confrontation turned their heads to look at him.
"Give me some time, maybe I can find out where the agency is." The black blind man waved his hand, "Now that the Buddha Kingdom has not yet opened, everyone will lose their peace, and we will have to work together later."
"This place has already been opened by someone. Yesterday, the feeling of the gap here is different from today." The gold-rimmed glasses tapped the splicing marks between the stones, and the black blind man clicked his tongue, thinking about this picture. The family is all well-made.Seeing that the words of the gold-rimmed glasses are not over yet:
"How much time do you need? I can't afford to wait for a long time."
"Now we don't bring any equipment. I said you are too anxious, sir. Let's go up first, have breakfast, and pack the dry food for the equipment. I will be able to find out the mechanism here, okay."
The gold-rimmed glasses stared suspiciously at the blind man for a long time before finally nodding: "Don't play tricks."
"Brother, we are not happy if you talk like this. I am the consultant of this archaeological team. I was recommended by Lao Jiumen. After returning to China, I will always be found by trustees on Changsha Road. Everyone comes out to earn money. Doing things for others, face is always important."
The blind man said with a smile, but what he thought in his heart was that face is not a big deal compared to eating and sleeping.But of course, heiye has always been very face-saving.
After everything was ready, the black blind man carried the equipment he had prepared on his back, walked to the center of the relief under the eyes of everyone, and asked everyone to stand outside the stone with the relief, and then began to explain the relief.
"What this relief is about is a prophecy about the future of Buddhism after the Buddha passed away. The disciples of the Buddha should seek to obtain their own nature, but they are fascinated by those beautiful flowers and leaves. You see, they Because these flowers and leaves showed confused or demanding expressions, those who bowed to the dead Buddha worshiped the Buddha as an idol, while those who cried sadly did not realize the true meaning of the Buddha. In the realm, our present life is just a part of our life. Life is like flowing water, and our whole life is like the waves in the flowing water. The waves come and go, but the flowing water never stops."
The black blind man said to the picture on the relief:
"In the minds of the disciples of the Buddhist school, sitting in the lotus position and dying is a perfect expression, and this relief is to guide us to go to the Buddhist country in this way. There are a total of twelve flowers here, except for those representing heretics. Incentives also represent time. If you guess correctly, one person can enter here every two hours. I will try to see if it succeeds, and I will explore the way for you. Don’t jump over immediately when something happens. There is only one position for the Buddha sitting in lotus position in this relief, which means that only one person can enter at a time, if you are anxious and what happens, I will not be responsible.”
The black blind man suddenly raised a playful smile, but people with stiff leg joints don't use it. Sitting cross-legged is not something that people with stiff joints can do.
After speaking, he sat down facing the relief of the Buddha in cross-legged lotus, put his hands together, and the stone suddenly sank with a rumbling sound. Heitu Zhang wanted to jump on the stone, but was held back by the gold-rimmed glasses.
"What he said makes sense. Before we stood on this relief and knocked in various ways or people came and went, there was no trigger mechanism. If we rashly enter the entrance of the Buddha Kingdom with a method other than the one preset, I don't know what will happen. what happen."
When Heitu Zhang saw what the gold-rimmed glasses said, he had no choice but to stop.
The black blind man closed his eyes and meditated on the falling stone, thinking about what to do after entering the Buddha Kingdom. When he opened his eyes, he saw unknown insects glowing in the darkness. In front of him was a A huge bronze tree, on a branch very close to him, was tied with a rope, with several knots tied on the rope, and each knot was tied in a different way.
Knotting notes.This method of keeping track of each knot representing a character or word is very old, even dating back to before the generation of writing.Now, there are very few people who can understand rope language.
This rope is a piece of military nylon rope, and the blind man couldn't help laughing secretly. Zhang Qiling's way of leaving a mark is really special. If he is not the one who comes down first, or if the whole archaeological team comes down together, is this a trap or information?And how is this person sure that he can read it?
interesting.
The black blind man untied the rope, and the knot in the rope meant:
I am in the direction of the toes of the Buddha's right foot.
The blind man frowned and thought about it.In theory, he should wait for those people to come down. If there is an old pedant with particularly flexible joints, he has to find a way to ensure their safety, so that he can get the balance of the labor fee for this international trip.
I have to say that most of the labor costs are paid afterward these days, but the black blind man has many rules, because he works alone, and the orders he takes are not good jobs. Something about someone poking the spine.
Therefore, every time he has to receive a down payment of more than 60.00% to [-]% of the basic salary, and then start working when he sees the money; the amount of the balance payment depends on the actual situation.
That is to say, he is now waiting for the second person to come down, and the possibility of getting more money will be increased. However, his current intuition tells him that it is more important to find Zhang Qiling.
Surrounding the bronze tree are stone pillars carved with reliefs, and there is also a stone pillar under the stone that sent him down. The difference between this stone pillar and other stone pillars is that it can move, so it can move He sent it here.
The gloomy light of the worm was enough for the blind man to see the surrounding situation clearly in the dark underground. He moved his limbs, and the surroundings here could not be seen at a glance, and it looked the same no matter which direction he walked.The black blind man took out the compass, and the needle kept spinning and completely failed.
The direction of the Buddha's right toe refers to the direction of the right toe when he sat down with his arms crossed.
Zhang Qiling didn't know how long he was groping below, and came to the conclusion that he could walk in the direction of the toes of his right foot. In contrast, it was much easier for the black blind man to just follow Zhang Qiling's road signs.
The black blind man checked his watch, picked up his steps and walked in the direction of Zhang Qiling's finger. It took about 10 to [-] minutes. After he was completely fatigued by the stone pillars decorated with reliefs, the stone ceiling and stone floor with no decoration on the top and bottom , a different scene appeared in front of his eyes.
In front of you is a gloomy river.Looking carefully, there are oval-shaped objects lined up on the ground one by one. Those glowing bugs seem to be attracted by these oval-shaped objects and stick to them.From the second row onwards, behind each of the ovals sat a person—or, more appropriately, a corpse.These people had obviously been dead for many years, but their faces were all lifelike, as if they had just passed away.
These people were all monks before, they accepted the precepts, they wore cassocks, and there was an alms bowl beside them.There is one less ellipse in the first row than in the second row.The blind man walked forward and saw that there was a liftable part attached to the top of the thing. He thought for a while, and picked one up in his hand. When he was shaken by his movement, the bugs flew up from the thing, It does look beautiful.
This thing feels a bit like a lantern in your hand, but it doesn't glow when the bugs aren't on it.According to Xia Dou's experience, these monks would pick up their corpses at any time, and the black blind man slowed down and carefully passed among these monks, but nothing happened.
Crossing the river of Youguang, a huge wall appeared in front of it. There were four passages on the wall, and there were reliefs above the entrance of each passage, which were the four heavenly kings who lived closest to the world of desire.
The image of the four heavenly kings in Indian Buddhism is quite different from the image of the four heavenly kings in Chinese temples. In Indian Buddhism, the gods who protect the Dharma are mostly in anger, and their skin and hair are in two different and darker colors, which match their faces. It is very easy to make people feel hideous.
The black blind man pressed his aching temple, and decided to choose which way to go by pointing at Bingbing in a naive way.Well, I can't say whether it's good luck or bad luck, I guess the four heavenly kings are about the same, and the one he pointed to is—Chiguo Heavenly King.
