Chapter 485 Explore the temple!The corpse goes to court?
After many twists and turns, they finally entered the Holy Land!
"Hey! Mouse, what are you doing standing still?" Wang Jinpeng shined a flashlight into Huang Hao's eyes.
Huang Hao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Is this the first time we have seen such a magnificent underground square?"
Others had the same reaction, and they felt a sense of loss when looking at them.
Such a powerful kingdom was destroyed!
In their impression, they thought that Tubo was a poor and backward country that would perish.
Unexpectedly, their grand project was probably even more exaggerated than the imperial tombs of the Tang Dynasty!
In the center of the square, stands a statue of Buddha.
After a brief shock, everyone gathered around the huge stone statue.
All the flashlights were pointed at it, and only then could it be seen clearly.
The stone statue is about seven meters high and two meters wide. The Buddha's head is in a bun, his ears hang down from his shoulders, his right chest is exposed, and his left hand performs meditation mudra.
It is surrounded by a Buddhist niche carved in bluestone, which is in the shape of a gourd and has a lotus carved under the seat.
The surface of the Buddhist niche is engraved with a large number of scriptures, which looks extremely solemn!
Seeing the Buddha statue, Huang Hao closed his eyes and prayed, silently chanting, "Buddha bless us to leave safely."
"Hey, Mouse, it turns out you are scared." Wang Jinpeng joked: "But we came to rob someone else's tomb, and you still want him to protect us before we leave?"
"Don't joke in front of the Buddha statue." Liu Jingfeng said seriously. He looked at the Buddha statue in front of him and felt that it was familiar, but he couldn't name it.
"It's Sakyamuni." Lin Ran saw their confusion.
Whether it is Tibetan Buddhism or Central Plains Buddhism, Sakyamuni is the Buddha.
He has seen countless Buddha statues, but this is the first time he has seen such a magnificent one!
Everyone stopped and looked at it carefully.
Lin Ran noticed that behind the Buddha statue, there were two rows of statues of monks.
There is a sacred path in the middle, which seems to be the main path into the temple.
They didn't delay any longer and moved forward along the main road until they arrived in front of the temple.
They saw that the temple door was closed tightly, and a huge jade gate blocked their way.
This jade gate is about four meters high and nearly four meters wide.
What's even more amazing is that there are a large number of snakes carved on the surface of the Jade Gate.
Tangled together, it looks a little weird!
"Do they really believe in snakes?" Along the way, I saw too many carvings about snakes.
Lin Ran also found it strange that at least there was no relevant introduction to the history of Tubo that he had studied.
Perhaps after rebirth, he entered another historical trajectory.
He decided to study it carefully with his teacher after he went back.
When they came to the Jade Gate, they discovered that there was ice in the cracks of the Jade Gate.
The temperature in the mausoleum is lower than that in the corridor, just like being in a snow-capped mountain.
Seeing this structure, he suddenly thought of ice coffins, a method used by wealthy people to preserve corpses.
He didn't expect these Zamps to be quite good at playing, he thought with some evil in his heart.
"How do I open the door and break in directly?" Wang Jinpeng asked Lin Ran's opinion.
Lin Ran walked around the temple and noticed that the temple was not a sealed environment. They were now in the middle of the cliff.
"I really can't understand how they could build a mausoleum in a place like this."
Liu Jingfeng murmured to himself, and he also noticed the cliff next to him.
Let’s not talk about the people who built the tombs. The owners of the tombs are not worried that they will die without a burial place due to changes in the geology.
The King of Tubo insisted on building the mausoleum in such a strange place, which was really frustrating.
Lin Ran said: "The king's ideas are different from ordinary people, and their beliefs are also very special."
"Perhaps, being built on a cliff can give them a feeling of being close to the heavenly spirit. It's like a sky burial, but not quite."
"Yeah." Liu Jingfeng nodded. He felt that what Lin Ran said made sense.
Wang Jinpeng smiled and said: "I think you have thought too much. You built the mausoleum here mainly because you don't want others to come in. There must be good things inside, and you won't let go even after you die."
"It makes sense." Huang Hao's eyes lit up. The harder the tomb is to rob, the more valuable the cultural relics inside it are.
They have encountered a lot of life-threatening dangers along the way. If they can't get back their money, they will suffer a big loss.
Lin Ran felt that was not the case. This place was getting weirder and weirder!
However, without finding the mechanism to open the door, it is impossible for this thing to exist.
So, everyone took out the crowbar and started to pry open the door.
The Jade Gate is made of fine jade. This door alone can be sold for hundreds of thousands.
There must be something more valuable inside, they were extremely sure.
First, he hit the crack of the door with a crowbar to break the ice inside, and then took it out with a knife.
After all the ice was cleared, the two of them began to push the door open with brute force.
Apparently the internal door was not specially treated and was easily pushed open.
The moment he opened the door, a thick black air surged out.
They quickly covered their mouths, and couldn't help but think of the poisonous gas released by Chongyu, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"It shouldn't be poisonous." A Ming mustered up the courage to take a breath.
Although he didn't know how the black energy was formed, he didn't feel anything unusual after inhaling.
"A Ming, I didn't know you were so brave." With A Ming as the guinea pig, everyone felt relieved.
Shining a flashlight into the black air, I found that I couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.
Since it is a wide open space, when you open the door, the black air will dissipate quickly.
When they walked into the temple, the scene in front of them surprised them.
Many people stood upright and wore special Tibetan costumes.
They looked at each other with dull eyes, just like the civil and military officials who went to court!
"Oh my god!" Xu Ning couldn't bear the fear anymore and shouted loudly, trying to run back.
The others were also frightened. Only Wang Jinpeng reluctantly stood in front and shouted loudly: "If you have the guts, come out and fight with me!"
But the people inside didn't react.
Lin Ran plucked up the courage, walked to the door of the temple, and shined a flashlight on one of the people's faces.
Although he was scared, Lin Ran was sure of one thing.
This is not a ghost, but a corpse!
"Don't be afraid, they are already dead." Lin Ran told everyone.
As long as they know it's not a ghost, they have nothing to fear.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Wang Jinpeng said: "Brother Lin, you are so bold, I don't even dare to take a step inside."
"There are no ghosts in the world." Lin Ran said calmly.
"This thing can only be said to be spiritual if you believe it, but if you don't believe it, it is nothing." Zhenbao did not completely agree with Lin Ran's point of view. There was no way to explain the howling ghosts and wolves in the mysterious tomb.
Lin Ran did not talk back to Zhenbao, but said, "It's like an ice coffin inside, keeping the body almost intact."
After saying that, he walked into the temple first, followed closely by the others!
