Chapter 356 Treasure
"You don't want to talk about those bats you met in the abyss yesterday? How can their wings be so big!" Moto said in disbelief.

"What if this is the biggest one caught?" Another team member answered.

"No matter what, let's go up first." Wei Yuan stopped the two arguing, and discussed with Xu Ling to go up to the eighth floor before noon.

On the seventh floor, Xu Ling and Wei Yuan both speculated that they might be officials.As for the eighth floor, it should be Zhu Youzhen's relatives, and the last floor must be his own mausoleum.But everything they saw subverted their imagination.

"How could it be a monk?" The moment they pushed open the gate of the seventh-floor hall, everyone was dumbfounded.It's totally wrong!A group of warriors surrounded a group of monks in the middle!
What's even more weird is that these monks are actually guarding something that is a person's height and a golden nanmu box.Seeing the seriousness and nervousness of these dozen or so monks, it is obvious that something is not simple inside.

Everyone looked at Xu Ling, and Wei Yuan looked at the tall golden nanmu box, feeling a little moved, so he also looked at Xu Ling.

Xu Ling quickly checked with his mind, and when he saw the contents in the box, he was shocked and wondered if he was still in modern times.

"What's wrong?" Wei Yuan wondered at Xu Ling's expression.

"I'll open it up and have a look!" Mo Tuo saw Xu Ling's strange expression, thinking he had discovered something.

Xu Ling nodded, there was no danger.

When Moto opened the box standing on the ground, he saw a clay sculpture inside.Wei Yuan and the others were stunned.What are these monks working so hard to do with such a clay sculpture?
"Look at the words on the side wall!" Xu Ling reminded Wei Yuan and the others.

"This is seal script, I don't know it." Not only Mo Tuo and the others didn't know each other, Wei Yuan also scratched his head.

"This is the life of Patriarch Bodhidharma!" Xu Ling didn't hide anything, and pretended to go to the front of the cover to have a look, then got up and told everyone.

"What? The legendary Patriarch Bodhidharma?" Moto and the others were taken aback.

Speaking of Bodhidharma, everyone is probably most familiar with the story of crossing the river with a reed.After all, Shao Sixth Uncle has already filmed Bodhidharma's story!

It is said that after the death of Patriarch Damo, Kongxiang Temple was the place where the first ancestor of Buddhism was buried. There are many disciples and grandchildren who came here to find their roots and ask their ancestors. The ancient Kongxiang Temple used to be a holy place for Buddhism!

According to the "Shaanzhou Chronicles" of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, when Buddhism was introduced to Shanzhou in the tenth year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 67), Kongxiang Temple was built. The temple was a Buddhist holy place in the same period.Kongxiang Temple is the burial place of Bodhidharma, the first ancestor of Zen Buddhism. It is famous all over the world for Bodhidharma who sacrificed his life to seek the Dharma and founded Zen Buddhism.At the same time, it is said that the relics and finger relics of Bodhidharma are also hidden, and it is said that these two things have mysterious powers!

According to historical records, after the ancestor of Bodhidharma taught Huike in Shaolin Temple, he went to Dinglin Temple at the foot of Xiong'er Mountain to teach Dharma for 5 years.

150 years old, master Zhang Sanfeng has not reached this age.

The monks were so sad that they buried the first ancestor master in Dinglin Temple according to Buddhist rituals, and built the Bodhidharma Pagoda and Bodhidharma Hall.Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty, personally wrote the inscription "Praise and Preface to Master Bodhidharma in the Southern Dynasties" to commemorate the founding of Zen Buddhism by Master Bodhidharma.

Later, in the first year of Yuanxiang, the envoys of the Eastern Wei Dynasty met Master Bodhidharma on his way back from the Western Regions to learn Buddhist scriptures, and immediately reported to the emperor.

When the emperor heard about it, he ordered people to dig up Bodhidharma's tomb, and found only an empty coffin. Then he knew that the master had transformed into a Buddha, so he changed the name of Dinglin Temple to "Kongxiang Temple".

It's amazing, isn't it?There is also such a plot in the movie. After the burial of Bodhidharma, the descendants opened the coffin and moved to the grave, and found that Bodhidharma's coffin was empty!Only a pair of straw sandals are left.

The most important thing is, whether this Bodhidharma is a fabricated character is still debated!But now there are actually clay sculptures of others here!

"From the expressions of these monks, it can be seen that they are still very concerned about Bodhidharma's physical body. But I heard that Bodhidharma left relics and glazed finger bones. How come there are still clay sculptures of the body?" Motuo didn't understand at all. up.

"So he is a patriarch and can live to be 150 years old. We are mortals!" The team member surnamed Li shrugged and winked at Moto.

"Xu Ling, why do you think Zhu Youzhen asked his people to force these monks to bring Bodhidharma in?" Wei Yuan lowered his head and thought for a while, but he still had no idea.

"Immortal? Maybe I want to live to be 150 years old!", Xu Ling shook his head with a smile, maybe he had to ask Zhu Youzhen himself to know.

Everyone sighed when they heard the words, Zhu Youzhen, like the first emperor, finally started to search for immortals, and wanted to live forever!Even the physical body of Patriarch Bodhidharma was not spared.

To everyone's surprise, there is a skeleton behind the outer warriors, just standing by the wall, with a long knife in his hand, looking forward with flat eyes!Even though there is only a skeleton left, everyone can feel a mighty aura from him!But Xu Ling felt more, that mighty aura mixed with a trace of loneliness and loneliness!
Is the hero lonely?Or the loneliness of the endless years after death?no one knows!

As soon as they went up to the eighth floor, Xu Ling and the others saw a stone tablet more than two meters high in the middle of the archway-like building!This is a white marble stele, under which is a tortoise, and the surface of the stele is engraved with blood-red characters, all of which are small seal characters!

The first sentence at the beginning is death to trespassers!

The densely packed hundreds of words in the back turned out to be curses!

When Xu Ling told everyone the specific meaning above, Wei Yuan and the others felt their scalps tense and their hearts felt cold!

They had heard of the tomb of Tutankhamun in Egypt, discovered by Howard Carter and Count Carnarvon.

At the same time that Tutkhamun's tomb was opened, Carter's favorite canary was eaten by a boa constrictor.Carter's collaborator, Count Carnarvon, died on April 1933, 4, of an unknown disease transmitted by a mosquito bite.In the more than ten years since the tomb was excavated, more than 23 people related to the tomb excavation died of diseases or even mental breakdowns.Whether these strange deaths are related to the curse of the Pharaoh, no one dares to say.

"This can't be true, can it?" The team members surnamed Li looked at the bloody stele with flickering eyes. Mysterious things always make people feel that they are out of their control.

"In fact, what I heard more is that the excavators of Tutankhamun's tomb lacked corresponding means at the time, and the ancient viruses or bacteria inside may have infected them, which led to their death one by one." Xu Ling smiled and said Professor Long told everyone about some of his conjectures, so that they can relax.
