Ruyizhai

Wu Xingchen originally planned to go to the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang to see if there were traces of Ruyizhai in the Cave of Thousands of Buddhas, but when he arrived in front of the Mogao Grottoes, he looked at the circle surrounded by a transparent protective cover. The slogan "Sightseeing at the Mogao Grottoes, and entering the Buddha's worship" made me retreat in my heart.If the Buddhist cave is just a pile of stubborn rocks, if the living things in the cave are virtual projections, if there is no Ruyi Zhai here, where else can he find Ruyi Zhai? ?After all, he still hasn't been able to confirm whether the incident in the Six Realms Beyond was his dream or it really happened.

In the past, he read a word in an ancient book called "near the hometown". According to the notes on the terminal, it said that people would feel resistance when they were close to the beautiful vision in their hearts.It must be his current state of mind.

But just in case, this is really the birthplace of Ruyizhai. After all, Ruyizhai is not a character in the novel. Even if he is, the characters in the novel are all characters. Can't really run into the gaps in the books and hide yourself?

If people want to hide, they must either hide far away, or return to their homeland.

Wu Xingchen gritted his teeth and decided to go to Mogao Grottoes to find out.

The Mogao Grottoes are covered in a protective cover that is both sun-proof and wind-proof all the year round, in order to prevent the harsh desert climate in the northwest desert from spoiling the interest of tourists and Buddhist practitioners. However, there are not many tourists here, about Because the Mogao Grottoes have been added to the menu of virtual sightseeing early, since the 26th century, the restoration of more than 700 Buddha caves inside it has been completed. After three-dimensional scanning, the whole has been moved into Universal Studios. Universal Studios in several major cities on the earth can watch a parade called "Mantian Gods and Buddhas" with the theme of Mogao Grottoes every night.The Earth Museum will also conduct a virtual live broadcast, and you can watch it with a terminal connection.Wu Xingchen was fortunate to participate in the debugging of this broadcast system. The parade of gods and Buddhas in the sky was carried out in the dark. At first, a long-haired celestial girl fell from the sky, wearing a light gauze, with a string of copper bells wrapped around her ankles. Pipa, with a sweep of the pipa, countless flying apsaras and heavenly beings flew out from the sound of the zither. These people who were also dressed in gauze clothes, some watched the moon, some watched the sun, some wanted to watch the water, and each In the sixteenth view, in an instant, countless moons and suns appeared in the dark night, the ground was covered with glazed ice crystals, precious trees were planted, and treasured buildings and flower seats were floating in it. The world appeared at this moment, and the light and pleasant Dharma music also sounded at this moment.In the Great World of Ultimate Bliss, there is one courtyard and one bodhisattva, one level of pavilions and one level of Buddha, all the guardians of the Dharma, all the heavenly kings appear one after another, countless heavenly beings hold wine bottles, offer treasure plates, orbs, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are all wearing light Thousands of feet of seamless heavenly clothes, full of wreaths, jewels, around the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Kaling Pinga twittered, Suzaku and roc soared freely, Persian lions practiced with their eyes closed in the Buddha's light, and the nine-colored deer leaned on the lions Beside him, resting quietly, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas sit down, and the lotus flowers are in full bloom.Konghou, silk and bamboo, chimes, zithers, and drum ensembles surround the audience in stereo from up, down, left, and right.

The faces of all the Bodhisattvas, Buddhas, and the audience were filled with joy and satisfaction.

There are no such entertainment items in the real Mogao Grottoes, and it is understandable that there are few tourists.Nowadays, most of the people who haunt here are Buddhists. The open space in front of the nine-story building is full of people who copy Buddhist scriptures all year round. Those who use virtual paper and pens, use real gold ink, and white rice paper. The copied scriptures are hung on the wall. On the branches, sometimes the paper and ink are too light, and they are blown away when the wind blows, and the copyists don’t care, but those virtual scriptures can’t be blown away, they just sway gently with the wind , From time to time, a virtual flying sky will fly out from the scripture.

It is also because those who copy the scriptures and worship the Buddha always look at the nose with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, and are not disturbed by external objects. In addition, he has the skin of an Egyptian pharaoh as a cover, so Wu Xingchen dared to enter the land of ten thousand Buddhas .He slightly raised his head and looked around. Thousands of years have passed, except for the vines climbing on the nine-story building, the Buddha Cave is roughly the same as the three-dimensional model left by humans in the terminal in the 28th century when they last observed it on the spot.It is said that the Buddhists who practice here will use the grapes grown on the vines to make wine, and they will enjoy it while offering to the Buddha.

Whether it is a battle between humans and humans or a war between humans and machines, several parties have tacitly bypassed the boundaries of the Mogao Grottoes. Simon Rhodes' novel described the relationship between machines and human boys. The story of working together to protect this immortal masterpiece in the history of human painting and sculpture.It is unknown whether the story is true or not. The Mogao Grottoes have indeed been completely preserved. The ecological environment of Dunhuang has not changed much. Compared with the last field observation of Mogao Grottoes by humans in the 28th century in the terminal, here Now it's just some more bodhi trees, some tamarind trees.

Although no one cast any strange gazes at him, Wu Xingchen was extra careful, lowered his head and walked quickly to the ninth floor.

According to historical records, tourists from more than 1000 years ago visited these Buddhist caves one by one, opening and closing doors, and entering and exiting. Not only was the etiquette cumbersome for tourists, it wasted a lot of time, and it also greatly increased the exposure of murals to the air. The probability of being damaged, when the restoration of the Buddhist caves in the 26th century was completed, the local tourism management office connected all these Buddhist caves with tunnels. , the surface of each Buddha statue was coated with a layer of inorganic protective film, which completely sealed and protected the final results of the restoration project that lasted five centuries. On May 3040, 5, the first batch of members of the Museum Appraisal Division and Restoration Division sent by the Alliance Ministry of Culture to inspect the protection status of the Mogao Grottoes came here.They became the first Buddhists of the new humanity.

Wu Xingchen had already walked into the sightseeing passages leading to the Buddhist caves, he looked back, maybe among those who copied the Buddhist scriptures just now, there were these people, these are his colleagues...

Thinking of this, Wu Xingchen smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "It must be said that he was a former colleague..."

There are signs on the upper, lower, left, and right sides of the passage. Some Buddhist caves are above this passage, and some are below this passage. There are no doors on the left and right of the passage, and there are no glass windows. Human beings and benevolent Buddhas.

The first dynasty of each cave, the restoration story, and the Buddhist stories told by the murals are filled in the cave in the form of words.Wu Xingchen looked at a few caves, read the stories at a glance, walked into the Buddhist cave and walked around, but couldn't find the law of the divisions of the Buddhist caves on both sides of this passage, neither in chronological order, nor a fixed one. Theme of.The Buddha statues are lifelike, as if looking at them a few more times, they will take him back to the Six Realms and Beyond.

"Beyond the Six Realms..." Wu Xingchen recited silently. At this moment, he was standing in front of a statue of Ananda. This is Cave 205 of the Mogao Grottoes. His face was destroyed, his arms were broken, and the rest of the eight Buddha statues in the cave were also destroyed except for their bases. The restoration took three centuries, and it was not until the addition of a mechanical body that could completely imitate the craftsmanship of the predecessors that the restoration was considered a breakthrough. sexual progress.Now the nine Buddha statues in front of Wu Xingchen have lifelike expressions and bright colors, even the Tian Xiang cassock on Kasyapa's body made of scraps of cloth is so bright and beautiful.

At the entrance of the Mogao Grottoes in the 31st century, there is still a banner inscribed by the Committee for the Promotion of Communication between Humans and Mechanics: Ultimate Bliss and Peace! !

Wu Xingchen came out of Cave 205, and when he looked up, he saw the words on the ceiling: Newly dug Cave 1879, the first 300 meters.

This place is still newly digging Buddhist caves, and this is the first time he has heard of it.He was really curious, so he followed the instructions to look for Cave 1879.Wu Xingchen relaxed a lot. When he arrived at Cave 1879, he saw that there was a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva enshrined here, which was made according to the techniques of craftsmen in the early Tang Dynasty. Spaceships, some shuttles, and some people in space suits in kneeling postures, among them K and Liu can also be seen.Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva floats on the spaceship and preaches scriptures.The Bodhisattva has red lips and white teeth, is dressed in emerald green clothes, has a peaceful face, and seems to have infinite virtues and good deeds in his heart to share with everyone.

The Bodhisattva statues of the 31st century are exactly the same as those of thousands of years ago, and are exactly the same as those in the six worlds.

Wu Xingchen thought about it carefully, in that dream-like realm, only Ruyizhai was wearing plain clothes, and only Ruyizhai always looked displeased.

Suddenly, Wu Xingchen stopped, and he saw Cave 249!He hurried in, here is also a colorful and changing world!When you look up, you can see an Asura painted on the front of the ambush-style courtyard. This Asura with four eyes is holding the sun in one hand and the moon in the other. Isn't it the Rahu Asura King!Look at the orb in his hand.

Mani Orb!Wu Xingchen couldn't help stretching out his hand, standing on tiptoe to touch the orb.

"what are you doing?"
