The next day, Jiang Tian stood at the foot of Longmen Mountain, with the slowly flowing Jianshui River behind him. He was both familiar and unfamiliar with this place. What he was familiar with was that he had visited it as a tourist attraction thousands of years later, and it was so familiar.
, the Longmen Grottoes are as precious as many; what is unfamiliar is the unique style of Longmen Mountain in this era.
Longmen Mountain in this era was actually a group of temples from past dynasties built on the grottoes. Among them were Qianxi Temple dedicated to Amitabha, Guanyin Bodhisattva and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva - the Three Saints of the West;
Sutra Temple, Lotus Temple with the theme of lotus; Ten Thousand Buddhas (Cave) Temple that enshrines 15,000 statues, etc.
Among them, the largest one with the most exquisite art is the Fengxian Temple, which is built near the water and dug into the mountain. Of course, this temple has nothing to do with Lu Fengxian, the great filial son of the Three Kingdoms. It was excavated in the third year of Xianxiang of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty (AD 672).
Year), the then Empress Wu Zetian took the lead in sponsoring 20,000 yuan of powder money to build a royal temple dedicated to the ancestors.
The most famous one is the "Great Lushena Statue Niche" which is said to have been built with Wu Zetian's original appearance as a reference. There are nine giant statues here, and the main Buddha in the middle is the Lushena Buddha, which is Sakyamuni's Sambhogakaya Buddha.
, According to Buddhist scriptures, Lusena means light shining all over. And the ten-foot-tall seated statue is also the landmark of Longmen Grottoes.
Of course, in addition to the large Lu Shena statue niche donated by the Holy Empress Zetian, there are also Guyang Cave dug by Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty for Empress Dowager Feng, statues of the grandson of Lanling Prince in Wanfo Cave, and the statues of Wei Wang Li Tai for Empress Changsun.
Binyang South Cave, Concubine Wei built the Jingshan Temple, Gao Lishi built the Infinite Life Buddha for Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and the Yaowang Cave with the engravings of various medicinal prescriptions from past dynasties, etc.
There are thousands of large and small caves, 2,345 Buddhist niches, more than 100,000 statues, and more than 2,860 inscriptions on stele. It is known as the ancient forest of steles. His representative works include: "Twenty Pieces of Dragon Gate" by the donors of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
", Chu Suiliang's "Yique Buddhist Niche Stele" in the early Tang Dynasty; famous scholars and scholars all over the world rushed to copy it and explore its place.
However, in Fengxian Temple, the largest temple in the hinterland of Longmen Mountain, a tragedy just happened last night. The great monk Dexin, one of the three pillars of the temple (the leader, the temple owner, and Duvina), died tragically, together with several remaining disciples.
In the pagoda cave on the west side of the temple. And this Dexin is not an ordinary person, he has a serious monk position.
Affiliated to the Senglu Division of the Dongdu Merit Envoy, he was officially worshiped as the right good envoy of the fifth rank of Bizheng; in his early years, he was ordered to promote Bailiang Temple, the lower courtyard of the Shaolin Temple, the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism, and he was a great warrior monk who ordered his diet to be as common as the common customs.
.Therefore, he was not a weakling without any resistance; but for such a character, he and his disciples were slaughtered in the pagoda cave.
In addition, Fengxian Temple itself is a famous temple of the former dynasty built by the royal family; among the 369 temples in the world, it is second only to the Sambhogany Temple and Baoen Temple built by the emperor and members of the royal family from their old residences.
Therefore, this matter is particularly serious. Logically, Henan Prefecture/Luoyang County should have investigated and dealt with it first.
However, the scene was said to be extremely tragic. Many people including the great monk Dexin, the envoy of Youshan Shishi, died without any intact bodies. Apart from some personal belongings, magical implements, and the remnants of cassocks and robes, not even the intact body parts were found.
They couldn't find it. The first batch of bad guys and Wu Hou who came to the scene after hearing the news were so frightened that they vomited all over the floor.
So this matter was handed over to the second batch of Wudeshi marriage officials who came. As a result, they also retreated in front of such a tragic scene. Therefore, the subsequent marriage officials who arrived at the scene could only order the sealing of the pagoda cave.
If an "animal disaster" is suspected to have occurred, report it directly to the superior and request a more experienced dedicated department to handle it.
In the end, this matter was transferred to the side of Kingo Street Envoy with incredible efficiency overnight. However, Kingo Street Envoy did not take the blame so casually.
. Therefore, thanks to Zhu Street Ambassador’s efforts to negotiate, it was not until dawn that many official and private conditions were reached with Wude Secretary.
Therefore, when Jiang Tian led half a team of Jinwu's disciples and slowly arrived at Fengxian Temple, it was already three o'clock in the morning. The bad guys in Luoyang County who maintained order outside, the Wuhou and Baiyi (patrolmen) from nearby Chengxiafang were all already there.
They were evacuated one after another. Only a group of Wude Department personnel in blue and gray robes were left, sealing off the scene and collecting peripheral evidence.
Among them, the one wearing a sapphire blue robe with a moire pattern is a married person with a high rank in the Wude Department, and the one with a light gray robe with an arabesque pattern is an ordinary person traveling long and fast;
The miscellaneous staff who were not on duty were dressed in various colors. However, most of them exuded a sense of lingering fear and fear.
Therefore, when they saw the envoy from Jinwu Street, they all immediately showed complex expressions of relief and relief, and hurriedly opened the closed mountain door. Then, a Song Deputy Warden who followed Jiang Tian came to see him.
In such a situation, I couldn’t help but lose my temper; I immediately shouted and shouted unceremoniously at these on-site personnel:
"Look at your dejected look, as if your whole family has died; are you worthy of the kindness of the imperial court and the generous support of the Tian family?"
Valley chariot
"It's just a murder scene. How come it's so frightened that I'm so scared?"
"Cheer up, everyone, and watch what Kingo Street Envoy does, or else just resign and go home!"
However, not long after, the Song Deputy Custody just poked his head outside the pagoda cave, and then he lay down on the outer railing without hesitation, flying down the three thousand feet of the big tuttu. Because, inside the pagoda cave,
The scene he saw was like a strong and invisible mental pollution; he felt that he would not be able to face anything related to meat for several days.
In this case, leaving Lin Jiulang and others on standby, Jiang Tian took two other Kingo disciples, put on a one-piece rubber smock, high boots, and a mask soaked in lime water, and stepped into the scene.
Among them, the structure of Fengxian Temple is not large. It mainly relies on the monks' dormitories, toilets and revolving corridors on the mountain wall built based on the grottoes.
Therefore, it was easy to see the bottom at a glance, and found another grotto that was more than ten feet high above the "Great Lushena Statue Niche". Because it was summer, and the environment was relatively semi-enclosed, so as the
As the temperature rises during the day, the smell inside the tower cave has become very strong, and even the smell of acetic acid and ash from the gelcoat on my body cannot cover it up.
This is a spacious grotto hall with a length of more than ten steps. It has more than ten stone pillars supporting the top; pagoda-shaped pagodas of various colors are carved, and the colorful sculptures are based on Buddhist scriptures and character stories. However, this
Various residues were scattered on the ground and adhered to the walls, but there were obvious signs of discoloration and liquefaction, as if they were decaying very quickly.
However, after Jiang Tian stepped into it, he, who was accustomed to various cruel scenes on the battlefield, discovered another unusual detail. In such a hot weather, although the corpses had begun to decay, the huge palace cave
In the space, I did not see any buzzing and flying mosquitoes and flies that should have been attracted during this season.
The next moment, Jiang Tian, who continued to look in and felt a little suffocated, suddenly stopped because he saw a few dead flies and suspected egg spots on the debris attached to a section of the tower pillar.
You know, the survival tolerance of a fly is very rare in nature. What on earth causes it to die before laying eggs?
In an instant, Jiang Tian turned around and shouted to the other two people without hesitation, "You guys, get out right away." Then, he continued to explore inward for a distance and found that there were fewer and fewer dead flies remaining, and finally at
The Oriental Glaze Medicine Buddha statue in the center, as well as the two pairs of assistant Bodhisattva and Vajra Hercules shrines were about to disappear completely.
When Jiang Tian came out again with a bad smell, several belated prompts appeared in his vision interface: "Subtle biological pollution on the body surface has been detected. Do you want to expend energy to remove it? Trace amounts of biological energy radiation have been detected.
Is it energy-consuming shielding?" He couldn't help but feel a little scared, but fortunately this half-assed auxiliary system worked once.
He then said to the two Jinwu disciples who had exited first: "Stay away from the crowd immediately, take off these things and burn them on the spot, then jump into the river beach and wash your whole body clean; no more people are allowed to enter after that." Lin Jiulang
Seeing this, he couldn't help but take the initiative to ask: "May I ask, what are the obstacles in starting the recording process?"
"It's not just a hindrance, it's a major trouble. I'm afraid there's potential for spreading toxicity, because even the mosquitoes and flies that came from the settlement have died." Jiang Tian said solemnly without hesitation: "Next,
I want to confirm how many people have entered the scene and how many people have been contaminated with potential hidden poisons."
"What kind of poison, what kind of hidden poison!" After hearing this, Deputy Custody Song, who finally recovered from his illness, couldn't help shouting in horror: "Then my life is also...in danger, I...I...
...I just opened my mouth and took a look, so it’s not that big of a deal.”
"It depends on the specific situation and nature." Jiang Tian shook his head slightly: "If it is a contamination caused by close contact, that's it. If it is spread through the air or dust airflow, it will be a major crisis, I am afraid that it will be within the scope of the scene.
No one who is guilty can escape.”
"Then, that, that, that... what should we do?" Deputy Custody Song was a little disbelieving, and stuttered in confusion: Then he turned to Jiang Fang with a face full of panic: "Since Jiang Lushi can discover this kind of toxicity,
, I guess there should be some countermeasures and means!"
"Why are you panicking? The sky will not fall." Jiang Tian said without hesitation: "What is important now is not to immediately seal off the inside and outside to confirm how many people have entered; and immediately control those who may be contaminated with hidden poisons.
What? At least before the situation escalates, call your people over immediately for screening and questioning. Next, we will investigate people from Henan Prefecture and Luoyang County."
