Chapter 093 Eighteen Arhat
When Professor Li saw us keep scratching the wall, he came over and said with a sad face, "You two, don't do it. This is all the property of the state and must not be destroyed."
When I saw his distressed appearance, I quickly threw away the moss in his hand and stopped touching it. After all, he is a professor of the archaeological team. It is also appropriate to care about such an ancient house that has not been seen in a thousand years.
Liang Zi was very disapproving and said carelessly, "Oh, isn't it just to pick a few pieces of walls? Where can this be destroyed? If you go in later, don't you want to take other people's things?"
"What do you say? We are doing this for investigation, but we will not mess around for personal interests. The grass and trees here belong to the country, and no one can occupy it for themselves." Professor Li immediately retorted.
Seeing that he began to be serious again, I quickly interrupted Liang Zi's words and then said, "Professor Li, do you think the ghost-faced Buddha's body will really be in here?"
Professor Li looked up at the building again and said proudly, "It is said that the ghost-faced Buddha is originally a son of the Buddha family. Since this is a temple, there is no doubt that the body is here."
"What are you waiting for? Go in and see what the old man looks like?" After saying that, Liang Zi strode up the steps and reached out to push the door.
He suddenly stopped his hand and looked back and asked me, "Isn't it rude to break in? Shouldn't we knock on the door first?"
I was amused by his expression and waved my hand feebly, indicating that you are casual.
I saw Liang Zi tidying up his clothes, cleaned his throat a few times, then raised his hand and knocked on the door three times, and said respectfully, "Excuse me, is this a ghost mansion?"
"Poof..." When I saw his appearance, I laughed directly and scolded loudly, "You are really careless. Didn't Professor Li tell you that this is a temple? Why don't you live in a mansion?"
Liang Zi thought about it and guessed that what I said was right, so he knocked on the door three times and continued, "Excuse me, does the ghost-faced Buddha abbot live here?"
Seeing his heartless appearance, everyone was about to laugh when they heard a 'squeak' sound, and the door in front of Liangzi slowly opened inward.
I wipe it, no way, I opened my eyes incredibly wide and said to myself: Is it possible that there really is someone living in it?
In fact, Liangzi was deliberately teasing us before, which also scared him so much that he stepped back a few steps in a row and almost didn't fall off the steps.
Everyone held their breath and looked straight in, but there was no little monk or anything like that. What came into sight was just a relatively empty hall, quietly presented in front of us.
"Hey...is there anyone?" Liang Zi was no longer polite and shouted loudly.
In the empty lobby, there was a slight echo from the beam, but no one answered.
Everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to do. Professor Li looked at me with an expectant and pleading look. You mean: You'd better take the lead!
Good! These guys really regard me and Liangzi as invincible. We will do everything first along the way. I secretly promise that after entering, I must find a few treasures to take back, or this time I will die, even if it's in vain.
helplessly, Liang Zi and I had to pull out the firewood knife and hold it in our hand and slowly walked in side by side.
At this time, it was morning. Although it was not sunny outside, it was also very sunny, but in this temple, it looked gloomy and gave people the first feeling of a haunted house.
From the outside, this building seems to be like a three-story building. When you come in, you will understand that there is only one floor, which is transparent up and down, and the surface area is about 300 square meters.
The first thing you see is a huge stone groove in the center of the ground of the house, which contains a thick layer of grease-like things.
After seeing this stone trough, I immediately shook my whole body and quickly looked at the surrounding walls, because this stone trough is almost the same as the huge tower that raises corpses. I want to see if there are any bodies inside and head outside.
After looking around, I was a little relieved, because the whole room was clear, and there was nothing on the wall, just a stone statue of a meditating monk. After counting, it was exactly 18.
"Eighteen Arhats?" I immediately remembered this word and took a closer look. Those Buddha statues seemed to be coated with a layer of gold powder, which made people feel extremely noble. I'm sure it will not be the same as the moss plants on the wall outside.
When Liang Zi saw this golden Buddha statue, he couldn't help looking forward. I quickly grabbed him and said, "Don't talk nonsense. It won't be that simple here. Let's find the Lord first!"
Because I found that these 18 Buddha statues, regardless of size and shape, are almost the same. People with a little IQ can think that this must be a Dharma protector or something. The real master must no longer be among them.
18 Buddha statues, nine on the left and nine on the right, in the middle, there is a pillar about ten meters high. The pillar is very thick, and the outer body is still golden, and there are many strange figures. Although I can't understand it, I can probably see that the picture should be some ghosts. Weird.
After I understood it, I was puzzled! Not to mention that this is the place where the ghost-faced Buddha put the body. Why is there only this huge pillar in the middle of these monks, and the view of the room is very clear. There is nothing else except these things. Is it possible that the ghost-faced Buddha has become a pillar?
At this time, Professor Li and others had followed. These people would not think about the fundamentals of the matter at all, and were immediately stunned by the golden Buddha statue in front of them.
Professor Li trembled and quickly asked him to take pictures with the camera. I saw him so excited that I was afraid that he would accidentally faint.
Seeing that I didn't let him come forward, Liang Zi said with some dissatisfaction, "It seems that this time it's for nothing. There is nothing in it except the Buddha statue. If it's okay, smash a piece and carry it back. If you want the special mother to be gold-plated, how can we accompany you, huh...?"
He said as if he had found something strange, and then said in surprise, "Look, are these monks wearing bracelets on their arms?"
I was reminded by him that it was true that every Buddha statue was raised by something like beads hanging on its arm, which was completely different from the color of the Buddha statue itself.
At this time, Liang Zi did not move, but Professor Li had already walked to a Buddha statue, took out a small tweezer, and gently knocked on the hard Buddha body.
I was afraid of an accident, so I quickly walked over with Liang Zi. Liang Zi urgently asked Professor Li, "How's it going? Is it gold?"
Professor Li seemed to look at him with some contempt and replied, "According to my observation, this should be coated with a layer of gold-like powder. After the Buddha statue is knocked, there is no sound inside. It should be solid stone."
Liang Zi sighed, ignored him, and went directly to study the bracelet on the arm of the Buddha statue.
I took the tweezers in Professor Li's hand, put my ear to the stone statue, and gently tapped it a few times. Sure enough, the voice was very crisp, and it seemed that it was really a solid stone.
"Qiu Ye Qiu Ye, come and have a look. Is this pearl?" Liang Zi stood in front of another Buddha statue and shouted loudly.
I walked over and saw him holding a string of beads on the arm of the Buddha statue, looking at it excitedly.
In fact, I am also a layman about the so-called gold, silver and jewelry. I see that the beads are almost as thick as the arm, but the hands are so big that I can't take them down at all.
So I also held it by hand to look at it. I felt that it was cold, the weight was not light, and the color was dark green. I guess it was not a pearl, but it should be agate emerald or something.
Liangzi can't put it down, but the beads are tied to the arm of the Buddha statue by a kind of silk thread. Unless it is cut, it can't be taken off at all.
When he saw that the money was open, he pulled out the firewood knife in a hurry and went to cut the silk thread.
" Stop." Professor Li shouted and rushed to us in a hurry.
Liang Zi was shocked by his voice. He held up his knife and was stunned on the spot. He said a few times but didn't say anything.
After Professor Li came over angrily, he threw a knife that grabbed the beam on the ground and scolded loudly: "It's nonsense. This is all the property of the state. How can you be fooling around? If you mess around again, be careful that I will sue you."
I guess Professor Li may be anxious, but this nerd's mood is a little too much, and I feel very uncomfortable.
What's Liang Zi's temper? Seeing Professor Li's righteous words, he immediately became angry and shouted, "What's the noise? The country's, everything is the country's. Don't you just want to swallow it alone?"
"It's just nonsense. I won't possess anything here. After I get it, I will give it to my superiors." Professor Li retorted.
"Fuch, who knows what you think. What's wrong with getting a bracelet strap all the way? I also told you that I have to take it today." Liang Zi said that he was going to masturbate the beads.
According to common sense, I will definitely stop Liangzi, but now I think Professor Li's words are really too much. If we hadn't protected the way, I guess their group would have died early.
At this time, Professor Li was also angry. He went up and grabbed Liangzi's arm, and the two immediately tore together.
Other archaeologists rushed to pull the fight. Maybe these young people also felt that Professor Li was a little too much. In this era, they can't be so remantic, so they pulled Professor Li to calm him down.
"What are you pulling me for? Hurry up and drive this reckless man away." Professor Li scolded loudly.
Li Ruier was very embarrassed to be caught in the middle and said weakly to Liang Zi, "Brother Liang, if you don't move this thing, my father is angry now." As she spoke, she winked at Liangzi, probably trying to find a chance to do it secretly.
Unexpectedly, this move was discovered by Professor Li. He immediately scolded loudly, "Rui'er, what are you doing? Are you going to help this thief steal state property?"
Li Ruier lowered her head and dared not answer, but Liang Zi was completely angry and shouted, "Well, since you said I'm a thief, I'll recognize it. Get out of here."
Liangzi was very strong when he got angry. How could these people pull it? He immediately pushed the group away, bent down to pick up the firewood knife on the ground, and cut it with his knife back to the arm of the Buddha statue.
I only heard a loud noise, and the arm with beads was severely broken, directly separated from the Buddha statue, rotated a few times in the air, and then fell to the ground.
The beads were also scattered, and they rolled everywhere for a while.
