For these ancient emperors, "immortality" was always the theme they pursued.
For this Buddhist country, what most people pursue is the "afterlife."
Myanmar believes in 'Theravada Buddhism', which focuses on personal liberation and nirvana. It emphasizes self-cultivation, self-awakening and self-liberation.
"Mang Bai, judging from his behavior, is definitely not a devout Buddhist.
Therefore, when it comes to treating death, he may be more inclined to the kind of funeral culture of "death is like life" spread from neighboring countries.
He also knew what he was doing. There was no hope for the 'next life', so he turned to seek 'immortality' so that he could 'live' forever in the imaginary world he constructed.
Here are some of my thoughts, just for reference. "
Bai Lu's statement coincided with Lin Yi's thoughts.
"Lulu thought of coming together with me!
If we follow this line of thinking, the main tomb passage must still be open now, but a layer of sealing soil has been added to the outside.
Come on, go out and look for it! "
Lin Yi picked up his backpack, Wukong jumped on his shoulders, and the group walked into the dense rain forest again.
The direction is still the one determined before.
Just trying to find a certain mark here is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
There were waist-deep shrubs, and there was a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground that had rotted into mud.
We have just experienced a long rainy season, making the place even more humid and exuding various peculiar smells.
"What does this mark look like? If it's not two or three meters high, we might have to cut down all the bushes before we can see it, right?"
"Since we don't want to be easily discovered, this mark will not be particularly obvious. It may have been hidden at the beginning, and after hundreds of years, it will be harder to find."
A few people walked around in this forest for an hour. The walking was extremely difficult, and their legs felt like lead.
Still found nothing.
Lin Yi reached out and brushed his wet hair, shaking his head to keep himself awake in this extremely humid and hot environment.
"Lao San, you and Min Tun go back and call Achang and his people, as well as those who come to work, to come here to help."
"Yes, just tell us that we have found the correct location of the tomb passage. I'm sure they can run faster than a dog."
Qian Sheng and Min Tun returned to the camp together.
The other three found a dry patch of land that could get sunlight to rest and replenish water.
"Have you ever lived in the South?"
Bai Lu suddenly asked.
"No, we were born and raised in the north and rarely go to the south."
"In the south, especially in coastal areas, every spring the temperature begins to warm up, and the air humidity rises sharply, resulting in a weather phenomenon called 'back to the south'.
As soon as I entered the room, it felt like a big bathhouse in the north. The walls were covered with water droplets. If the clothes were not dried, they would not dry at all and would even become moldy. "
"What do you mean by this?"
"I was still an intern at a TV station at the time, and I never understood why people there liked to sunbathe in bed so much. Later, I experienced a 'Return to Nantian' trip, and I suddenly understood the lesson.
Later, whenever the sun came out, I would do what we do now and find a place to bask in the sun first, because the feeling of humidity was too unbearable. "
"Don't talk about my experience, just listening to you talk about it makes me feel like I'm going to get eczema. The room is sticky, the quilt is wet, and the clothes are sticking to my body. Oops, I can't get through this day!"
Wang Qiang and Bai Lu were chatting when Lin Yi suddenly stood up, holding a mineral water bottle and looking up at the sky.
Take a few steps, stop, and look up at the sky.
He walked all the way for a long distance, then turned around, stretched out his thumb, closed his left and right eyes alternately, and roughly measured the distance.
Then he placed his water bottle on a bush and walked around as if doing engineering measurements.
"Old Lin, what are you doing? Are you planning to build a house here to retire? Have you started measuring the foundation?"
Lin Yi didn't answer him, but broke off a few branches, stuck them on the ground and made some marks.
Then he climbed up a short tree using his hands and feet, built a pergola with his hands, and looked into the distance.
"I said, Brother Monkey, are we reaching the border of the Daughter's Kingdom ahead?"
Lin Yi lowered his head and laughed:
"You idiot, why the hell do you only think about good things?"
After that, he jumped down from the tree and patted the mud on his hands.
"It should be almost here. When the main force arrives and cuts down all the bushes where I have drawn the line, you should be able to see the mark."
As soon as he finished speaking, Achang and his party came in with six laborers carrying various tools.
"I heard that Boss Lin has gained something. Let's come over quickly and take a look. Is there anything we can do for you?"
Lin Yi stretched out his hand and pointed at the area he had just designated.
"After all the bushes in this area are cleared, we can find the entrance."
"If this is really the entrance, then Boss Lin, you are really extraordinary."
There was doubt in Lao Shen's praise.
"Then why don't you find it yourself."
After Lin Yi finished speaking, he sat down under the tree and took a nap.
"It's just a joke, Boss Lin, don't mind."
Achang smiled helplessly and immediately called his men to start work.
Hammer was holding a chainsaw in his hand, and with his body and sinister expression, he looked like a Texas Chainsaw Massacre maniac.
But this guy is really unambiguous in his work.
He put on a leather apron and goggles, pulled the chainsaw, and rushed forward.
There were branches flying all around, and a strong aroma of vegetation began to spread everywhere.
The huge noise scared the animals hiding in the bushes and fled in all directions. The six workers were also busy cleaning the weeds with hoes and sickles in their hands.
The more people working, the higher the efficiency.
Without much effort, these people cleared an area according to the boundaries defined by Lin Yi.
It looks like a trapezoid, as big as a badminton court.
Six workers took tools and almost cleaned the ground.
However, no special marks appeared.
"Boss Lin, according to your instructions, this ground has been cleared. Tell your junior brother that you want to find an important mark here. I don't know where the mark you mentioned is located. Where should we start from? Where to start?"
Old Shen rubbed his hands and asked with a smile.
Lin Yi rested his head on the tree trunk and looked up through the gaps between the tree crowns.
"I know you are in a hurry, but don't be anxious yet. It's not time yet, just wait here for a while, and the mark will come out naturally."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and started to doze off again.
Achang smiled.
"Then let's wait, wait, there's no rush!"
After that, several people also found a dry place to sit down.
After about half an hour, Achang and the others couldn't sit still any longer, and were about to ask Lin Yi for an argument.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yi stretched himself and sat up.
Whistled overhead.
Wukong received the signal and climbed to the top of the tree canopy, making various provocative calls.
Monkeys are primates with a strong sense of territory. Seeing a provocation from a foreign race, the monkey king immediately led the monkey group and chased him.
The monkeys trampled on the tree crown, and a gap appeared above their heads. The sunlight filtered through the gap, shining down from the trunks of the two big trees, and it happened to be projected into this trapezoidal area.
