The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

On the other side of the nave, there is a stone door, also ajar. According to regulations, it should be another side hall, symmetrical to the side hall they were in just now.

So people didn't take it seriously, they just went in to take a look since the door was open.

Unexpectedly, there was a stone table placed in the side hall, with a box on it, and an incense burner in front of the box.

It looks simple, but in such a large side hall, there is only such a box in an empty space, which gives people a sense of mystery.

People walked in, stood in front of him, and looked at Zhu Xiaoyuan in unison.

This is Xiaoling Mausoleum, and only Zhu Xiaoyuan is qualified to touch things here. If he doesn't move, others will certainly be embarrassed to do so.

Zhu Xiaoyuan was also curious and opened the lid of the box.

There is a thick stack of books stacked on the left side of the box, with the words "Prajna Great Light" printed on the top page.

"Yes, this is the Great Light Sutra!" Master Jingquan said excitedly.

"Didn't Master just say that the Great Light Sutra is written in Sanskrit secret mantras? These are obviously Chinese characters."

"Open it and have a look."

Zhu Xiaoyuan carefully opened the first page of the book. The cover is made of thick paper, but the inner pages are completely different. It is a very ancient leaf-like paper with incomprehensible characters and symbols densely written on it.

"This is the Bay-leaf Sutra!" Ke Jundao said, "This kind of paper is made of the leaves of the Beluoduo tree, and every word on it is carved with a fine needle. Many Buddhist scriptures in Tianzhu are from the Bay-leaf Sutra. It’s very precious, so be careful when handling it.”

As an archaeologist, when I see antiquities, I immediately fall ill with an occupational disease. I am afraid that the things will be damaged by others, but I forget that everyone here is an expert, let alone the leaves of the Belodo tree, even if they are made of spider webs , and it won't get damaged.

Zhu Xiaoyuan took out the "Great Light Sutra" and handed it to Master Jingquan, saying: "Since this is from the Sutra Pavilion of Huacheng Temple, please take it back with me, Master."

Jingquan did not expect Zhu Xiaoyuan to be so generous, so he took the scripture and said: "Old donor Zhu has an admirable mind."

Zhu Xiaoyuan smiled and said: "I am not a pedantic person. I have lived to this age, so there is nothing I can't understand. It's just a scripture, and my ancestors won't blame me."

There is a booklet underneath the "Great Light Sutra" with no words on the cover.

Zhu Xiaoyuan thought it was a set, so he took it out and opened it. The inner pages were not Bay-leaf paper, but ordinary paper, but the writing was also in Sanskrit.

"Master, is this also part of the Great Light Sutra?"

Jingquan shook his head and said, "I remember there is only one volume of the Great Light Sutra, let me have a look."

He took the scripture and began to read it.

When he turned to the last page, Jingquan was slightly stunned and said in surprise: "Look!"

Everyone came over to take a look.

I saw two paragraphs of small red characters written on it:

‘Wu Zhou borrowed the prophecy of the Pure Light Goddess from the Dayun Sutra and introduced Mani’s Great Light Sect on behalf of Li Xingzhou. This teaching was created by the Bosemanis after they received the Great Light Dharma taught by Lucifer. Lu Xifu was the messenger of light of the Holy Religion in the past. However, since the saint has perished, the holy religion has ceased to exist, and Pluto has returned to the sea, turning from saint to devil. Xifu went west and established a religion in the west. Ming is not Ming, it’s obvious! ’

‘I, a commoner in Huaiyou, was baptized by the Holy Religion and favored by the light. Due to the chaos in the world, I led the people across the river to protect the people and govern the country. I took Zhu Ming as my national title and hoped that the Saint would return and the Holy Religion would be restored to glory. The one who spread it from the Wu Zhou Dynasty is Mani, not the Holy Light. Now the Great Light Sutra and the Great Cloud Sutra are placed here and lost in the world, so that the events of Wu, Zhou, Li and Tang will not happen again. "

It can be seen from the second paragraph that this was obviously left by Zhu Yuanzhang.

It seems that the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty was very worried about what happened to Wu Zhou, so he simply took the Great Cloud Sutra and the Great Light Sutra underground.

Others lamented this, but Li Muchen was shocked by the content of the first paragraph.

Hades returns to the sea, Sif goes west...

The Holy Religion mentioned by Zhu Yuanzhang was the original form of the Demonic Religion, and Wumu Concubine also called it the Holy Religion.

Lucifer is the messenger of light of the Holy Religion, so Pluto is the messenger of darkness?

Are these two apostates?

Or was it because Pluto apostatized and turned into a demon, which led to the emergence of the demonic sect? Lucifer was so angry that he went to the West to preach?

Unfortunately, there are only these two scriptures and two passages by Zhu Yuanzhang in the box, and there is nothing else, so there is no way to prove it.

Li Muchen glanced at Lin Manqing, and Lin Manqing's eyes were also full of doubts.

Although Lin Manqing now incorporates part of Ebony Concubine's soul, she has no memory of Ebony Concubine.

The human soul has no memory. Memory is made of the brain, which is equivalent to a computer disk. The soul can call up memory at any time, but it cannot retain memory without losing the body.

Even if you practice reincarnation, it is very difficult to regain the memory of your previous life.

But the soul is a spiritual body and can retain the realm of previous lives. Therefore, those immortal and true living Buddhas who have reincarnated and practiced a little can first enter the avenue and achieve a very high state.

The same goes for Lin Manqing. She obtained the ancient orthodox witchcraft through the soul of her ebony concubine, but now her physical strength and magic power cannot keep up.

"Do you think the traitor to the Holy Religion is Pluto or Lu Xifu?" Li Muchen used his spiritual mind to communicate with her.

"It's hard to say, maybe it's both people." Lin Manqing said, "Wu Zhou destroyed Tang, but later returned the country to Li Tang. This is very strange. Maybe we can go to Jinzhou to find the descendants of the Wu family, maybe Any clues?"

"Yes." Li Muchen nodded, "I was thinking that Lu Xifu teaches the Great Light Dharma and is preaching in the West. Is the Holy Sun Church related to Lu Xifu?"

Thinking of the Sun Sect, Li Muchen was a little worried because he hadn't received any news in this regard for a long time. Apart from the tense situation in Luo City, the Sun Holy Cult seems to have made no further moves elsewhere, especially in China.

For a religion that has spread so far that it has penetrated into places like Nanjiang University and Kowloon Island, this kind of long period of calm is abnormal.

He felt that the Sun Sect was up to something big.

Master Jingquan accepted the Great Light Sutra. Zhu Xiaoyuan asked him if he wanted to take the "Dayun Jing" with him.

Jingquan said: "The Great Cloud Sutra does not belong to this temple, so just leave it here."

Zhu Xiaoyuan looked at Li Muchen again, and Li Muchen nodded before he put the Great Cloud Sutra back.

Everyone left the side hall where scriptures were enshrined, passed through the middle hall, and walked back.

Behind the nave is the apse, which is the palace where the emperor and empress rested their coffins.

People are very curious whether the coffins of Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma are inside, and whether they are the same as what they saw in the secret place just now.

However, after entering the apse, people were extremely disappointed because the apse had collapsed.

In the design of Xiaoling Mausoleum, there are a large number of cobblestones paved in the mezzanine of the mausoleum. Once someone digs a hole and breaks in, the cobblestones will roll down and block the mausoleum.

This is better than mercury in other imperial tombs to prevent theft. At least it will not pollute the land, and will not let the coffins and funerary objects in the tombs be soaked in mercury.

With the strength of these ten people, it is not difficult to clear the cobblestones in the tomb passage, but this will inevitably cause certain damage to the underground palace.

Destroying the graves of other people's ancestors in front of Zhu Xiaoyuan is not something a human being would do.

What's more, the entire apse has collapsed and been buried, so it's useless to clear out the tomb passage.

Everyone was about to leave when Li Muchen suddenly said: "Wait a moment."

He was facing the closed tomb passage, and his spiritual consciousness passed through the tomb passage and penetrated the ruins of the apse.

After a while, I suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the pebbles.

People were taken aback, thinking something had happened, and took out their weapons one after another, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

A few pebbles fell down, and a small turtle emerged from them. .

This turtle has a black back and white feet. The most peculiar thing is that it only has three legs and no tail.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. They didn't know what it was or what to do. They all looked at Li Muchen.

Li Muchen didn't know what it was. In Tiandu's ancient strange beast records, there was no record of a turtle with three legs and no tail, a black back and a white body.

While he was thinking, the little turtle had climbed out of the pile of stones, raised his head, and looked at the people curiously.

It seemed to be thinking, and after a while, as if it had made a decision, it crawled towards Li Muchen.

Li Muchen knelt down and looked at the little turtle. The little turtle looked at it too.

Li Muchen stretched out his hand, with his palm facing up and the back of his hand touching the ground.

The little turtle climbed up and lay in his hand. It was so small and delicate, just the size of a palm.

Zhu Xiaoyuan said with emotion: "The black tortoise is psychic, born from heaven and earth. It is not a property of my Zhu family. If it wants to recognize you as its master, you can take it back."

Li Muchen stood up and said to the little turtle in his hand: "You can take it back, but in the human world, you have to be obedient. There are rules in the human world."

The little turtle seemed to understand. He shook his little head a few times, then shrank his head and feet, leaving only a turtle shell.
