Strange events in the imperial capital

There are ten villages and eight shops in Dali, a place as big as a palm. Chu Han was familiar with it before, so it didn't take much effort to find the approximate location.In the nearby East Temple Street and West Temple Street, there are several so-called "Town Dragon Pagodas" and "Shoulong Village", but they are actually knockoffs created by later generations.They inquired about the elderly people in the area, and then found the ruins of the Buddha Building at the southern foot of Baihua Mountain.

A museum was built on the site.When the curator of the museum learned of their purpose, he said, looking for the ancient Buddha building?That Buddha building is on display in our museum, why don't you go and see it.

The curator smiled and pointed: "Here, this is our Zhenlong Pagoda in Dali, with a history of 2000 years..."

The curator went on and on, but Mr. Fang glanced at the three-meter-high stone Buddha building in the large glass case in the middle of the exhibition hall, and didn't take a second look. The expression on the spot was disdainful: nonsense, this shit You told me it belonged to Zhenlong?Put another water basin here, let's keep salamanders in your home!We believe that Xiaobailong is not doing it yet!

The curator told them stories like clouds and mist.In the 80s, there was no developer investing in this place, and there was no museum. On this site was a small school called "Guzhuang Primary School".The Buddha building is locked in the dilapidated courtyard on the back hill of the school, and no one dares to enter it normally.Once a few students had the courage to go on an adventure, drilled under the Buddha building, and lifted the well cover to look at the mouth of the well. As a result, there was a sudden thunder and lightning that night, and the torrential rain poured down. When the two students were found, they were all frightened and frightened, as if possessed by a demon, and they didn't know what they saw.People from the city government completely sealed off the back mountain and buried the well that caused the trouble. Later, the primary school was moved to another place, and a museum was built here.

Luo Zhan whispered to Chu Han: "Don't listen to this curator's nonsense. He thought we were from out of town, so he didn't tell the truth. He wanted to scare us back. Let's go out and find the ruins of the elementary school."

A few people set off quietly in the evening when the sun was about to set.

It was cool in early autumn, and Fang Saner and Boss Luo both put on black long-sleeved tights, camouflage pants and boots.Chu Han usually wears a hoodie and leggings trousers in the wild. The collar, cuffs, and trousers are tightly tied to prevent insect bites.

There are signs of light rain on the pale red sky, and the stars are faintly discernible.A meteor slid down from the sky, reflecting a ray of light the size of a bamboo hat, which was captured by Chu Han's naked eyes.

After a rainy summer, the mountains are lush with thorns and shrubs covering the broken walls left over from that year.The cracks in the wall are covered with tenacious wild thorns, dripping blood red in the setting sun.They climbed over the gap in the wall, peeled away the bushes, and faced an ancient blue-gray stone Buddha building that was almost connected with the trees and vegetation, completely exposed.

The three of them looked up at this ancient building and didn't speak to each other for a long time.

The majestic seven-storey Buddha building has been integrated with the surrounding mountains, as if embedded in the dark green shade.Each floor of the Buddha building presents a different relief Buddhist story, which is at least 40 meters high by visual inspection.The base of the pagoda is huge and heavy, with several stones collapsed at the corners, and the base is twisted with the roots of an old banyan tree.

That's it.

Boss Luo's two younger brothers were left at the foot of the mountain, guarding the car and supplies.Chu Han told them not to leave, but not to follow.

It's all here, you must go in and have a look.

The first attempts didn't go well.Luo Zhan and Chu Han respectively tried to open a stone door at the entrance with the equipment they carried with them.But Shimen seems to grow on a solid mountain, solid and unshakable.After working for an hour, she felt frustrated, Fang San'er couldn't hold back anymore, motioned Chu Han to get out of the way, and began to "bump" the door.

Third Master Fang really bumped into him, squatting on the side of the stone gate, with a cold expression on his face, he shook his shoulders towards the thick stone wall with a bang.The broken stones splashed down and landed on the man.The stone door turned out to be only the outer layer that kept dropping slag, but the inside remained motionless, a single piece of iron.When Fang San'er collided again, there was a muffled "bang" from inside.

It seems that something is pushing from the inside!

Chu Han recognized the sound and could hear it. It was the shock wave from two violent collisions, and the ground trembled.

Third Master Fang hit again, swung his elbow towards the stone door, this time with a "bang", he was bounced back by the force inside, and fell out three to five meters away.

"Someone hit me through the door."

The corners of Third Master Fang's eyes were slanted, and he stared angrily through a door, pawing his palms on the ground and lingering.

Boss Luo sat watching with a cigarette in his mouth, couldn't help puffing out a puff of cigarette butt and shouted: "Wait a minute! You almost knocked down that door, who can be stronger than you? Little Ancestor, don't hit it... I'm afraid that if you really knock it down, the 'thing' inside will come out soon."

The three of them had no intention of backing down.They lingered near the base of the pagoda for a long time, and Fang San'er even hung a steel cable and climbed to the third floor of the Buddha building, but failed to find the entrance.

Fang San'er slid down the steel cable, brushed off the grass clippings from his hair, and showed a rare look of anxiety and urgency: "Chu Han, take a closer look at this tower. Don't you know how to 'see'?!"

How did Fang San'er know that he would "see"... Chu Han thought to himself.He slowly walked around the ancient building and said, "There are no living people inside." He squinted and stared at the reliefs on several floors of the tower: "There is a Suolongjing inside...the fourth floor, you go up to the fourth floor and see four Is that the mandala flower?"

The two stared at each other, and said in unison: "Mandala flowers are everywhere, which one are you talking about?"

The ancient building has seven floors, and each floor has seven embossed surfaces, taking the number of seventy-seven and 49-story hell world pagodas, and it is a tower to suppress the reincarnation of evil dragons.In the middle of each Buddhist story on the embossed surface, there is a stretched Indian mandala flower.In the eyes of others, the 49 flower-shaped reliefs are clearly the same, what difference can there be?

Chu Han had already seen it.He was afraid that he would make a mistake and cause damage to the mechanism inside the ancient building, so he circled the tower for two more times and did mental calculation twice to prove it.

His eyes hurt from watching too much, because his health is not that good after all.

He kept his face up.The setting sun dyed a pale golden light on the face. At that moment, it was like the light of the holy and compassionate Buddha covering the head, and the colorful halo floated in the humid air in the mountains... Fang Sanye was hanging on the steel cable, hooking the three-story building with one foot. The other foot is hanging in the air, hanging in the air in a very dangerous posture. When he turned his head, he was about to roar "Which flower are you talking about?", but it also stopped.

The man stared at Chu Han's face for a while, then silently looked away.

Chu Han felt physically and mentally exhausted, and slowly said: "The 49 reliefs look similar, but in fact each one is slightly different, and even the arc of the petals has a very strange and subtle angle difference. The shape of the petals, stamens, and leaves It looks like a random combination, but how the details of each flower are arranged actually forms a series of numbers, logical numbers derived from ancient natural geometry...

"There are two flowers with the same longitude on the first floor and the seventh floor, which happen to be the same logical number, and the two flowers separated by the same number on the fourth floor, I think... I'm just guessing, these four embossed lines are connected The place at the midpoint is the tower opening mechanism."

"I forgot to mention that the stone gate we tried desperately to dismantle and try to break open just now has a Sanskrit sentence engraved on it. [The auspicious beast bathed in the Buddha's light, rides the clouds to the treasure land to open this gate]. I also I don't know what that allusion means."

Chu Han thought in his heart, among the three of us, none of them are auspicious beasts, who understands the code word of sesame calling the door?Obviously this has nothing to do with us.

"I'm just guessing that the stone gate at the bottom is purely a cover-up. The location of the organ should not be any of the four flowers, but the logical midpoint of the coordinates formed by the four positions, which is a certain flower on the fourth floor." Chu Han spoke clearly and earnestly, but he wasn't sure he was right.

Fang San'er nodded, but he trusted his judgment very much.

The person hooked his feet, swung up and quickly hung up the fourth floor, so fast that Chu Han didn't see anyone in the blink of an eye.

The third master Fang touched the piece of relief of Buddha flower, but he didn't knock it open, and he didn't dare to hit it hard.

For a moment, the man pinched the huge flower center in the center with his slender fingers, and turned it 45 degrees along the grooves of the carved lines.

The relief moved.

The secret door opens.

That day, they entered the ancient building through this secret door.The entrance is very narrow, Boss Luo even used all his breastfeeding strength to force himself in.

After entering, Third Master Fang showed a fierce look on his face at first glance, and turned around to find the place where he hit the door just now. His expression was clearly not satisfying and he wanted to find someone to pinch again.They found a bronze warrior kneeling on the side of the stone gate, with a high nose, deep eyes and wide mouth, holding a huge dagger. It was a twin appearance with the bronze man in the Beixinqiao well.But the bronze man knelt down on one knee, leaning against the door, and there was a mess of debris under his feet, and he was a little embarrassed.

Lock Longjing.

Thick iron chains are wrapped around the stone slabs, and the locks are of primitive shape.The well curb is in good condition, covered with a thick layer of ashes, and the dust is everywhere. It must have been untouched for many years—no one could enter this secret stone door before.

"Open?" Boss Luo winked.

"Let's go." Chu Han said.

"What if a dragon really emerges from under here?" Boss Luo said.

"It's right if you have a dragon." Fang San'er said, "Go."

Chu Han silently glanced at the people around him, and suddenly felt that there was a boy surnamed Fang next to him, and there was no fear of any living things in the well, but he just felt at ease for no reason.

The chain broke, like a snake that had lost its strength and slid off several layers of thick stone slabs. The stone slabs moved at that time, as if a gap was squeezed open by the huge support force underground.Fang Qiansui muttered something, soothing the uneasy twisting iron chains.Several people worked together to move the stone slab away, and they were all stunned.
