When Cai Cai arrived, there were two male and female security guards around him. After a few months of experience in the group, my whole temperament has changed a lot. But after meeting Li Mo, she seemed to have returned to the carefree girl she was before.
"Brother Daxia, it's really warm here."
Yes, compared to the temperature in Kyoto, it is really warm here. However, Cai Cai is the only one in the entire group who calls him boss, which is considered a very special existence.
"Didn't I remind you to bring more autumn clothes?"
Li Mo brought her a basket of vegetable buns, and Yu Ting served her a bowl of millet porridge. She thought she wanted to keep in shape and eat something light, but she ran over and chose three high-calorie dishes.
"You still insist on practicing martial arts?"
"Of course, that's why I eat more beef now. Master also wants me to perform at this year's Spring Festival Gala, but I haven't officially become a disciple of the Chen Family Baji Quan."
Li Mo smiled softly and said: "Actually, girls are not very suitable for practicing Bajiquan. It is too rigid. Therefore, the boxing method practiced by my senior sister also has a bit of Youlong Baguazhang. The Chen Xiaoyan you know has been practicing since she was a child. It’s not the Chen Family’s Baji Quan, but the stick technique that I learned from a grandmother in the same village. It’s a great way to open and close, and it’s suitable for actual combat. The boxing you practice is not authentic, and it’s a bit difficult to become a disciple of the Chen Family’s Baji Fist.”
"Then can't I just concentrate on practicing Bajiquan?"
"Of course you can, but your hands will become rough and full of calluses by then. Your limbs are muscular and clear, and your body is full of manly masculinity. If you can accept it, you can become a member of the Chen Family Baji Under the fist door.”
Yu Ting suddenly covered her mouth and started laughing. She probably remembered that shocking scene in her mind.
Cai Caila praised her pretty face and sighed: "Forget it, I will just practice and keep in shape for a few days, and I won't think about anything else."
"Mr. Zhu, if you like fighting skills, I can teach you some special moves."
Although the brown bear is big, it is agile and can be destructive when it moves its hands. It is the easiest to remove the arm joints.
"Come on, that's too violent."
"After breakfast, I will go to the Tang Dynasty Underground Palace at the former site of Fayun Temple later. Mr. Yu will accompany you to walk around."
"Okay, Brother Daxia, you are busy, we have already arranged the itinerary."
At around 9:30 in the morning, Li Mo and the others arrived at the entrance to the underground palace. Xue Zhifeng, who was feeling a little unwell yesterday, had already arrived at the scene earlier and waved hello when he saw Li Mo from a distance.
"Expert Xue, you were too tired yesterday, why don't you take an extra half day's rest today?"
"Doing our kind of work is like drawing a lottery at any time. Knowing that huge treasures may appear next, if you don't witness their birth on site at the first time, it will be very uncomfortable."
"Hahaha, this is probably a common problem for every archaeologist."
"Professor Li, someone asked me about Shadow Bones last night. I think the advice you gave them is quite good."
"It's just a personal thought. Since Expert Xue also agrees with this plan, we will work hard next. We hope that the number one treasure of Buddhism is somewhere in the underground palace."
"I can't believe it in others, but with Professor Li here, I think everything is possible."
The two looked at each other and already understood what the other meant.
After another ten minutes, other staff arrived one after another. Armed police cordoned off the area outside, and all tourists were prohibited from approaching the old site of Fayun Temple.
But there were dozens of Buddhist believers. They gathered together with their hands clasped together, chanting words, and worshiping from time to time, showing their pious hearts.
"Professor Li, let's enter the underground palace."
Everyone walked into the underground palace, went from the outer room to the first secret room, and then entered the second secret room. The area of the second secret room was also not small. Li Mo looked up at the roof and felt like there was a slight wind blowing down from above.
Sure enough, he saw several small holes connected to the outside. Through special arrangements, the outside air was blown into the secret room of the underground palace. I don’t know who came up with this method. It must have been quite difficult at the time.
There are two rows of wooden racks in the second secret room. Each row of wooden racks has four upper and lower floors. They are filled with various utensils, including gold, silver, jade, and lacquerware. They are packed in an amazing amount.
There are six wooden boxes stacked in the corner. The wooden box is not placed directly on the ground. Several wooden boards are used to form a suspension underneath to prevent moisture from condensing.
Even such details have been taken into consideration, and you can guess that the things stored in the wooden box are unusual.
"Professor Li, the utensils on the wooden shelves are clearly visible. Only the things in the wooden boxes are worth looking forward to. Why don't we clean them out of the wooden boxes first?"
Xue Zhifeng's voice was a little strange. If there were no big discoveries in the wooden box, then the real body of Sakyamuni Buddha's finger bone relic, which had been speculated before, might not be in the Tang Dynasty underground palace at all. If it is not in the underground palace, then the real body of Sakyamuni Buddha's finger bone relic recorded in the history books may really not be found.
I was worried that finding it would cause serious consequences, but if I couldn't find it, I suddenly felt a huge loss in my heart.
The assistant took out the tool he brought with him, which was a professional pair of scissors. Li Mo and he carried the next one down. The wooden box and the lock were a bit corroded, after all, they had been there for thousands of years. After the lock was cut, several people gathered around it. Li Mo opened it and saw that there was a layer of cloth covering it inside. Pull back the cloth to reveal what's underneath.
"Buddhist scriptures!"
Xue Zhifeng picked up a Buddhist scripture, used the light to identify the words on the cover and said in surprise: "This is the Vairocana Sutra."
"Expert Xue, look how many Vairocana Sutras there are?"
Another expert carefully took out the Buddhist scriptures one by one from the wooden box.
"It should be the complete Vairocana Sutra. It's great, it's great." "Parinirvana Sutra", but it no longer exists. The campaign to exterminate Buddhism during the reign of Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty burned many Buddhist scriptures in Fayun Temple, but the work of collecting and repairing Buddhist scriptures has been going on, but less has been obtained. Now, it is actually in The Vairocana Sutra was found in a secret room in the underground palace of the Tang Dynasty, and it should be the complete version."
"Professor Li, we opened all the other wooden boxes, maybe they contain Buddhist scriptures." Sure enough, after opening the remaining wooden boxes, we found all the inscriptions of the "Puning Zang" and the catalog of the "Secret Sutra".
"After these Buddhist scriptures come out, we must find eminent monks to study them carefully. Professor Li, these Buddhist scriptures have been stored for too long, and some of them have become stuck. We need to take them out first, and then we need to slowly repair the damaged ones. place."
Li Mo doesn't understand Buddhist scriptures, but the Buddhist scriptures handed down more than a thousand years ago are also a treasure to Buddhism. After being carried out, Li Mo's eyes fell on the various gold, silver and jade objects on the wooden rack.
The light above the head is a bit dim, so there should be a secret door that is difficult to detect. It seems a bit impossible that such a secret room does not store more precious Buddhist treasures. Looking through the strange eyes, red haloes of different shades rose up one after another, and the eyes became a sea of red.
Suddenly, a brighter red halo came out, like a stormy sea suddenly covering other red haloes, it was so dazzling.
The treasure was not placed on a wooden shelf, but there was a secret compartment behind the wooden shelf. The treasure was stored in the secret compartment, and it looked like a pagoda.
"Sure enough, there is a treasure. Although it is a little inferior to the King of Tin Wands, it is definitely better than other treasures."
Li Mo was secretly happy. His clairvoyant gaze moved again, and suddenly his gaze suddenly passed through and entered another space. That space was smaller than the first two secret rooms, but it was filled with stuff. Li Mo was dazzled by the intertwined red halos. There were too many, and so many treasures were piled up casually.
Li Mo had to wait until the third secret door was opened and then clean up the treasures inside one by one. Li Mo thought to himself that he would withdraw his clairvoyance. But at this moment, his clairvoyant gaze swept over a square box. The red light emitted by the box was even more intense and dazzling, a bit stronger than the pagoda he saw just now.
Another true treasure.
The joy was not over yet, Li Mo's clairvoyant gaze had already penetrated the layers of protection and touched the contents of the box. A dazzling colorful halo rose, and Li Mo saw a Buddha sitting at the end of the colorful halo, with his hands clasped together, and faint haloes of light spreading out behind his head. The sound of heaven and earth sounded in his ears again, as if a Buddhist saint was whispering and singing beside him.
Waves of colorful energy flowed into his eyes, making his whole body seem to be in a state of emptiness, as if he were sitting in warm water.
"Professor Li, what's wrong with you?"
Just as Li Mo was wandering in his mind, several urgent voices came from his ears, and someone was shaking his body.
Li Mo's eyes returned to normal in an instant, and he returned to reality, with the light above his head shaking slightly.
"Professor Li, are you okay? Do you want to go out and take a breath?"
"I'm fine."
"We are almost worried to death. You were standing here stiff and dazed just now. We thought something happened to you."
"Hey, I seem to have found something else. Come on, collect all the treasures on the wooden shelf and send them away."
Li Mo rolled up his sleeves and was about to take action. The others looked at each other, and when they saw that he was really fine, they started cleaning up the antiques on the wooden shelves.
"The treasures stored in the box actually emitted a colorful halo. That was about 2,500 years ago. It can trigger the illusion of the Buddha. Could it be that the real finger bones and relics of Sakyamuni Buddha are stored in that box? body?
Yes, that's for sure.
According to records in ancient books, Sakyamuni should have been born around 500 BC, and only his real body of finger bone relics can cause visions of the Buddha. What he didn't expect was that the colorful halo emitted by the real body of the finger bone relic automatically merged into his strange pupils. Now he could clearly feel the cool air flowing in his eyes, which was very comfortable.
"Professor Li, it will take until the afternoon to clean up so many Buddhist treasures."
"Hahaha, the more treasures, the better."
Sima Haotian has been following Li Mo silently and has not expressed his opinions much in the past two days. After all, he is not a professional archaeological expert, and he does not know much about Buddhist culture, so he can only work in silence.
But in addition to Buddhist culture, he has considerable insights into each antique, constantly talking about their manufacturing process, surface engraving, etc.
"Professor Sima is rich in knowledge, and we are also very happy."
"I only have this little ability. Professor Li is far better than me in terms of knowledge. If he introduces it, I'm afraid he won't stop talking all day and all night."
Professor Sima said modestly.
"Then Professor Li should also tell us." Someone said with a smile.
Li Mo didn't care: "If you want to hear it, then I'll tell you something more interesting, which is the treasure of the Tang Dynasty that I collected before."
"Okay, okay."
It was not until after four o'clock in the afternoon that all the treasures on the wooden shelves in the second secret room were counted. There were 774 items in total.
"Professor Li, you said before that you found other more interesting things in this secret room. What do you mean?"
Seeing that the secret room was almost empty, several experts became curious. All that was left were useless wooden shelves, and they really couldn't see any more interesting treasures.
Li Mo picked up the tool and violently dismantled the wooden frame on the left side, then reached out and groped on the smooth marble wall. Suddenly, his right hand stopped and pressed hard. It made a sound. The marble tile was moving.
"Professor Sima, hand me a tool and I will pry off the marble and take a look."
"let me help you."
Sima Haotian picked up a hammer and walked to him.
"Smash it down from here."
Li Mo pointed at a place, and Sima Haotian hit it with a hammer without hesitation. Wherever the marble could withstand it, it was broken into pieces by several hammers and fell to the ground, revealing a hole.
After cleaning up all the gravel inside, Li Mo shined a flashlight and found a wooden box inside.
"There is actually a secret hole dug in the wall. What can be stored here is definitely not a mortal object, it must be a Buddhist treasure comparable to the existence of the King of Tin Staffs."
"Professor Li, quickly take out the wooden box."
Several Buddhist cultural archaeological experts urged, and everyone's eyes were filled with light. They were all thinking the same thing at the moment. What might be stored in the wooden box was the true body of the finger bone relic of Sakyamuni Buddha. They were so close to the true body of the relic.
Although there is no live broadcast now, everyone is full of excitement.
"Expert Xue, please calm down."
Li Mo glanced at Xue Zhifeng beside him, fearing that he would be so excited that he could not stand it and fainted.
"Professor Li, don't worry, I will be fine."
Li Mo took out the wooden box from the secret hole and placed it flatly on the ground. After destroying the rusty lock and opening the wooden box, in the expectant eyes of everyone, the Buddhist treasure inside appeared in front of them.
"This is... this is..." Xue Zhifeng said a little gibberish, "This is... a gilt-bronze pagoda, a pagoda used to worship the real body of Sakyamuni Buddha's finger bones and relics. Oh my God, this... this . . ”
It turns out that this pagoda is called the Gilt Bronze Pagoda, and it is a treasure used to enshrine the true body of the relic. No wonder the red halo transmitted by the different pupils was so strong and dazzling. This is a treasure-carrying weapon.
Upon closer inspection, this gilt-copper pagoda is approximately 54 cm in height, 28 cm in base width, and 24 cm in height. Cast and molded, the whole body is gilded. It consists of a temple, a pagoda, a platform and a base. The pagoda has a square base and a three-layer platform on the base. There are orbs, wishful cloud heads, and gourd-shaped decorations on the upper and lower sections of the railing.
"Professor Li, this gilt-copper pagoda from the Tang Dynasty is the most noble treasure among the pagodas unearthed so far. Take a look to see if the actual finger bone relic is enshrined in it."
