Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Xuanzang Pavilion

There are pictures on the stone wall. Although the pictures are old and black, I can tell at a glance that the people in the pictures are exactly the same as the ones I took out from the ancient tomb!Both sides of the cave are full of this picture, and I wonder why the ancients were extremely boring, why this man is painted on both sides of the cave, and this man looks like me. Fortunately, the environment was dim, so everyone didn't notice my expression, and I tried my best to control my emotions.Professor He Kai was about to go forward, but Company Commander Wang opened the way first. Looking at the back of Company Commander Wang, I couldn't help but wonder.He pushed me into the ditch before, but he refused to come down to save me. I thought his water skills were not good, but seeing how he protected Professor He Kai just now, his water skills are no worse than mine.Could it be that he really values ​​sex over friends?However, just now he took Xu Shaode to climb up, and the level of hardship showed that he was not that kind of person.

"Everyone, be careful, there may be traps here." Professor He Kai whispered. "There is an agency asking us to come in." Xiaofeng was agitated, but these words were like mosquitoes, and they could hardly be heard. Fan Li and I walked at the end, Xu Shaode seemed to be still afraid of my abnormality, so he didn't dare to talk to me.They walked very slowly, probably because they were afraid of the mechanisms they imagined. A thousand years have passed here, and even if there were mechanisms, they were decayed and useless.Of course, my thoughts at the time were very naive, and I didn't understand many things.I, who was walking behind, wished I could take a whip and whip them hard a few times to drive them away, because the three villains were chasing after me immediately.Although we have a large number of people, but people have guns, explosives and so on, even if we have a hundred people, we dare not fight recklessly.Fortunately, they came down relatively slowly, and there was no movement for a long time.

I didn't go far, and the passage began to extend downwards. This passage was in a spiral shape. After turning around a few times, my head was a little dizzy.I don't know if it's because of the lack of oxygen here, or because of the spiral staircase.However, I kept smelling a fishy smell and felt very disgusting, as if snakes didn't smell like snakes.I have hunted countless snakes since I was a child, and I am very familiar with the smell of the prey, but at this moment, the smell is half like and half not like. This spiral staircase should be natural. Although the stone wall is full of paintings, there is no trace of man-made excavation. Even Company Commander Wang, who is not familiar with romance, began to admire the uncanny craftsmanship of nature.I counted carefully, and there are nine rings in the spiral staircase. At the last ring, the space suddenly expanded, and everyone opened their mouths wide in amazement at the sight in front of them.

This space is very large, a little bigger than the space of a football field, with a distance of more than 20 meters up and down.This cave is not surprising, what is surprising is a building in the center of the cave.The building is a bit like a pyramid shape, but it is all black, and there are many window-like designs.The surface of the building is not smooth, like a pile of rockery. This underground mountain is very large, like a ten-story building.The Huoyan Mountain area has experienced several civilized dynasties, and the most powerful is the Gaochang Dynasty. If it was built by the local people, then it is most likely built by the Gaochang Kingdom.

Because my major is industrial and civil construction, I understand the wisdom and manpower needed for this building, so I am particularly impressed.The surroundings of the building are very empty, and the ground has obvious traces of modification. It is estimated that many stones have been flattened.Because the light of the flashlight was getting more and more unstable, when I saw them going into the building, I hurriedly stopped them.In case there is something dangerous inside and the flashlight goes dark again, it is a dead end. "Look, that black pit." Professor He Kai's eyes were sharp, and he soon found a circular pit surrounding the central building.

The black pit is very similar in color to the ground, so it's hard to spot if you don't look carefully.Professor He Kai was very excited, and kept yelling that there was a way, and walked over with a big stride.Strange to say, we have walked all the way without any organs.It stands to reason that such secret places in ancient times usually have many traps, even the ancient tomb I fell into last time has traps, let alone this huge place.They all walked over, and the three of us soldiers guarded the way we came, for fear that the villain just now would catch up and endanger everyone's lives.Ava Guli followed me life and death, and when she saw me staying, she also stood obediently.

"Company Commander, the higher-ups told us to go to Sheng Jinkou, but... are we really going to help this group of people?" I asked uneasily. "That's right, it's for this team." Company Commander Wang replied without changing his expression. "Then why did they retreat here from Shengjinkou?" I always felt strange, so I asked. "I don't know. I heard that it was suggested by your friend Fan Li." Company Commander Wang frowned and replied. As soon as I heard it, my head got bigger. Even if Fan Li was reused, he would not be able to change the team's inspection site, and I was a little skeptical that he could make the stubborn Professor Lu Cheng.What the hell is this team doing?I just wanted to take the opportunity to ask again, so that it would be difficult to discuss when Fan Li and the others were around.However, at this moment, something rolled down the spiral staircase.Curious, I bent down and picked it up.Xu Shaode's eyes were good, and when he saw it, he yelled, "Oh my god!"

I didn't care at first, because Xu Shaode's yell made me subconsciously want to see clearly right away.The flashlight has been taken away by Professor He Kai and the others. Although my eyesight is good, I couldn't see clearly at once.This thing is nothing but a hand. After I looked at it carefully, I was also shocked.This arm was bloody, thick and dark, and should be male.Before I could throw it away, a few more things rolled down and stopped at our feet. This time it was the red boys who rolled down, but they were all dead. Their bodies were torn into shreds, and it was chilling to watch.If you catch one or two and sell them, you may make a fortune. Now it is fashionable to sell things you have never seen before.From the top of the spiral staircase came the cry of the red boy, like a baby. No wonder the red boy is also called the Holy Infant King in the legend.I was a little flustered, if the red boy rushed in, how could I stop it.Next, the shouts of the three villains came again, which gave me a reason.When Company Commander Wang heard that I was about to evacuate, he frowned and thought about it for a while. He probably thought that others had weapons and were fools to fight recklessly, so he agreed to leave immediately.Company Commander Wang also has a problem. He has always thought that the weapons assigned by the higher-ups are very backward, so he has always been quite critical, and this time it happened to be used by me.

Professor He Kai and the others had already walked around the black pit, but no one noticed what was going on behind them. They seemed to think that being a soldier would definitely keep them safe.The black pit is filled with viscous objects, and it smells like gasoline from a distance. Could it be ancient fuel? The local people once told me that there used to be a temple named Tianyu in Huoyan Mountain. The god was moved by their hardships, so he built an ancient oil pool for them. The pool was full of oil, which could be used for lighting and food.However, outsiders cannot know.In the end, the monks in the temple still leaked it, and finally the ancient oil pool was taken back by the gods.I think that although it is a legend, it is also possible. It is not surprising that there is oil in the basins of Xinjiang. This may be a twisted statement about oil.

When Professor He Kai heard what we said, he immediately decided to hide in the building. At that time, I thought she wanted to take the opportunity to see what was going on inside.Xiaofeng wasn't in the mood to look at the things in the black pit, she kept using Fan Li's lighter to shine light on her wounds, just now she was bitten by the red boy, it's quite pitiful to think about it.Her wound was red and swollen, like a fire.But just when everyone decided to cross the black pit and hide in the building, Xiaofeng didn't pay attention to the terrain under her feet, fell down, and the lighter that was still burning in her hand fell into the black pit.

Saying that women are good at bad things, Xiaofeng really proved it with practical actions. Although the fuel in the black pit has a history of thousands of years, the quality is still guaranteed.The lighter was almost extinguished when it fell down, but the black pit still made a "hoo", and the whole cave was on fire.Xiaofeng was quite clever, the lighter fell into the black pit, she didn't pick up the connection, just cared about herself, and ran forward quickly, without burning her at all.I haven't jumped over the black pit yet, looking at the fire in front of me, I can't help worrying.They were calling my name on the opposite side, and I also understood that if I didn't rush over now, once the heat wave spread, I wouldn't be able to rush over again.How could a single person be weak against the gangsters who were chasing after him. After a few steps back, with all my strength, I jumped over the black pit.When the black oil was burning, it smelled very bad, worse than poop, and I almost fainted.As I walked through the flames, I heard a scream behind me, and I glanced sideways from the corner of my eye, but only for a moment.I seemed to see the second child among the three villains rolled down, his hands were gone, and his whole body was stained red with blood.Immediately afterwards, the eldest and third children also rolled down in a hurry, and they looked back in horror, as if something terrifying was chasing after them.That's all I saw. After walking through the flames, they all said to go into the building to avoid the fire. Because the fire burned violently, a lot of oxygen was consumed in an instant, and we were all out of breath, but not to the point of suffocation, but we just felt that we couldn't breathe smoothly.When we approached this rockery-like building, we found that there are three words on the fake mountain: Xuanzang Pavilion.These three characters are not Sogdian, but the regular script of Chinese characters. The Qin Dynasty designated Xiaozhuan as the official font, but Xiaozhuan writing was troublesome, so officials in the Qin and Han Dynasties mainly wrote official script, and in the Tang Dynasty regular script was the official font, and running script should be more common in daily life.In fact, running script originated very early, Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface" is known as the best running script in the world.Therefore, Professor He Kai believes that the Xuanzang Pavilion was built in the Tang Dynasty, but this is the Huoyanshan area, how could there be Tang Dynasty buildings, and it is still underground.But at the time, I felt that academics were too troublesome. The word Xuanzang clearly shows that this is from the Tang Dynasty. Could it be from other dynasties? "Is this attic related to Xuanzang?" Professor Lu Cheng asked in disbelief. "Go in and have a look." Professor He Kai said very excitedly, "Xuanzang has indeed been to the ancient Gaochang country, maybe there is some secret here." Residents of the Gaochang Kingdom in the Tang Dynasty believed in Buddhism, and there was a historical story.In 629 A.D., the third year of Zhenguan, Xuanzang, an eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty, preached scriptures in Gaochang on his way to the west to seek Buddhist scriptures, and worshiped Qu Wentai, king of Gaochang, as brothers.At that time, Qu Wentai welcomed Xuanzang in a grand manner, but after Xuanzang lived for a while, he asked to continue his journey westward.Qu Wentai insisted on keeping him, asking him to worship Buddha in Gaochang, and even threatened to send Xuanzang back to the Tang Dynasty if he did not stay in Gaochang.Later, Xuanzang went on a hunger strike to declare his aspirations, and Qu Wentai finally agreed with him to continue his journey westward on the fourth day of the hunger strike.But Qu Wentai hoped that he could continue to teach scriptures in Gaochang for one month before leaving, and live in Gaochang for three years after returning from India. Xuanzang agreed to these conditions. Here, I am correcting a historical incident, that is, Xuanzang's journey to the west did not actually obtain the approval and support of Tang Taizong.Many people still remember the farewell scene between Emperor Taizong of the mid-Tang Dynasty and his younger brother Tang Seng Chang'an, but according to historical records, in the first year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty, Xuanzang asked Taizong Chen for permission to travel west to learn Buddhist scriptures, but Taizong did not approve it at that time.However, at this time Xuanzang had made up his mind, so he "followed the charter and went to Tianzhu privately".In the end, he traveled more than 50,000 miles and completed a historical feat.Therefore, Qu Wentai threatened to repatriate Xuanzang at that time. Although it is recorded in history that Qu Wentai wanted Xuanzang to stay and give lectures, but when I saw this Xuanzang Pavilion, I felt a strange feeling in my heart.
