Several people quickly looked up with Chen Xiaoxue's fingers. At this moment, the sunlight was very high, and the sunlight shot in through the holes in the roof. Looking up, it was a bit dazzling, and the eyes were blurred. However, you can see that the entire roof was full of colorful pictures, half carved and half painted. Although some of them fell off and some were damaged by the collapse of the building, they were still preserved about 75%.

It would be fine if you don't look at it. When Yang Yihao saw it, he was shocked. The mural on the top was the jade pendant in the middle. He saw a man with wings on his back, holding half of the jade pendant on his back, with his hands raised to the sky, and his left and right hands held half of the jade pendant. The picture was vivid with you, and it looked continuous. The winged man slowly merged the two jade pendants, and a dazzling light was emitted around him. In front of his winged man was a group of kneeling people, as if worshiping the gods in their minds. Behind him, there were a group of shiny women standing, looking at the winged man with deep affection. Yang Yihao was about to say something, but suddenly Liu Chaoying next to him exclaimed: How could a miracle jade pendant appear here?Too strange.

Sister-in-law, have you seen this jade pendant?

Zheng Li next to her came over and asked, her sister-in-law Liu Chaoying has been working in the National Cultural Relics Protection Bureau. After hearing what Liu Chaoying said, Liu Chaoying might know what this is.

I have never seen it, but there are related records in several unearthed cultural relics. I didn’t expect that I would actually see murals here. It’s so wonderful.

Liu Chaoying exclaimed.

After Liu Chaoying said this, Yang Yihao and Chen Xiaoxue were surprised. They didn't expect that the jade pendant was recorded in some cultural relics. It seems that to find out what the secret of the jade pendant is, we have to study it carefully. After all, the two jade pendants can be merged, and the mural is painted a bit magical now. Yang Yihao and Chen Xiaoxue exchanged glances, and both sides understood the other party's thoughts.

Yang Yihao said to Liu Chaoying: Sister Liu, it is said that you work in the Cultural Relics Bureau. I believe you should know a little about these things. Who built the city Ah?Then why is the jade pendant that the man in the painting called the miracle jade pendant?

The reason why this jade pendant is called the miracle jade pendant is named in the archaeological world. As for why the ancients called this jade pendant, it is unknown. There are two statements about this jade pendant. One statement was that when Qin Shihuang built the top ten bronze men, he personally ordered a jade craftsman to ward off evil spirits. Later, it was passed on to the hands of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, and then disappeared. It was not until the Kangxi period that appeared again. The jade pendant was divided into two pieces. It is said that after it was merged together, it had unimaginable power. After related research, this jade pendant was found.The source of the pendant is much earlier than that of the Qin Shihuang period. There is information about this jade pendant in the ancient tomb discovered in the Central Plains not long ago. After research in the archaeological world, this jade pendant can be traced back to our ancient mythological era. When Emperor Xuanyuan and Emperor Yan fought against Chiyou, this jade pendant has appeared. After the change of time, it is said that Dayu used this jade pendant to find the ancient dragon when controlling the flood. In fact, everyone is not sure where this jade pendant came from, so the archaeological world calls it a miracle jade pendant.

Liu Chaoying briefly said that as for this city, there are basically no records in history. It is just that in some fragmentary information, it can be roughly judged that the city should have been built around 1,100 AD. As for whether it was built by people migrated from India, I don’t know.

Around 1,100 AD, my country should have been in the Northern Song Dynasty. At that time, wars were flying. There were probably no records in small cities like this. Yang Yihao said: I didn’t expect that I would encounter this mural of this jade pendant here. I heard Sister Liu say so magical, so let’s look around.

When Yang Yihao was speaking, he unconsciously touched his neck and was relieved to make sure that the jade pendant was still on his neck.

OK, I mean that.

Liu Chaoying said, I just looked at the buildings around it, it was a bit the same as the ruins of the Guge Dynasty, or was it built according to the arrangement of this city? What, Guge Dynasty?

Yang Yihao was surprised. The Guge Dynasty was a mysterious kingdom. The ruins of the Guge Kingdom were on a dirt mountain on the banks of the Xiangquan River in Alizhada Feizhaburang District. It covers an area of ​​about 180,000 square meters. It is one of the first batch of key cultural relics protection units in the country. The entire site has more than 300 houses and caves, three pagodas (more than ten meters high), four temples, two halls and two underground secret passages. They are divided into three levels, upper, middle and lower, and are palaces, temples and houses in turn.

There is a city wall built on the outside and a boron building is located at all corners.

There are many fine works in the carved statues and murals of the Red Temple, White Temple and Reincarnation Temple. The Guge Kingdom was established around the 10th century AD by Jidnimagun, the great-grandson of Zamprandama, the last Tubo Dynasty, after the collapse of the dynasty, led his personal ties to Ali. From the mid-10th century to the early 17th century, the Guge Kingdom dominated western Tibet, promoted Buddhism, resisted foreign aggression, and played an important role in the historical stage after the Tubo Dynasty in Tibet. The Guge Dynasty, which once had a splendid civilization history of 700 years, its disappearance is still a mystery. It is said that in 1,630 years, the Ladakhs, the western neighbors of the same clan as Guge, launched an invasion war, and the Guge Kingdom was destroyed.

The Guge Kingdom ruins are a magnificent and vast plateau ancient city, which provides important physical information for the study of Tibetan history and ancient architecture. In addition to these strongholds that are fortunately marked on the map because they are still the village or administrative location today, there are also Dongga and Piyang, etc., all of which are full of cultural relics. The broken walls, collapsed caves, and scattered pagodas scattered in the desert are countless.

One is in the west and the other is in the east, and the buildings are so the same. It seems that there are more and more secrets unintentionally. Yang Yihao said: If this is the case, you should be very clear about some of the locations here, right?

Almost, let's take a look around.

Liu Chaoying leaned against the pillar and said, and suddenly heard a click. A pillar in the temple fell down. Everyone shouted and hurriedly dispersed around to avoid it. The giant pillar collapsed, and it was not clear whether it hit the person in the chaos. It turned out that the pillar that Liu Chaoying leaned on had rotten. It seemed nothing to be done when it was stuck there. Once it leaned, it fell down. Thanks to it, it fell to the outside. Otherwise, the hall would be narrow and knocked down other pillars, which would kill people. Seeing that there was a large pillar on the roof, although it had not collapsed yet, everyone did not dare to stay in the temple. They all wanted to go out first and make a decision when they were safe outside.

When walking out, Yang Yihao suddenly found a huge dark space exposed in the earthen wall that was smashed by the pillar. It seemed to be a closed secret room. As soon as the wall fell, the rotten air rushed out. When Yang Yihao saw that everyone was fine, he felt relieved.

At this time, Chen Xiaoxue found the flashlight, turned it on and on and took pictures. Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by the things inside. The outermost part was a bronze statue of a man with two wings, crossing over the oracle lotus platform. It seemed that it was the man in the mural, with two silver eyes shining in the golden bronze statue. However, behind the bronze statue, there was a tightly closed black iron door, and the door was covered with countless talismans and scriptures, as if something could not be released inside.

Everyone was attracted by this strange and mysterious cave and surrounded them nearby and looked inside with flashlights. What was inside the black iron gate?Why do you need to hang so many sutras and mantras?

At this time, Liu Chaoying stepped across the broken wall and walked into the secret space. Yang Yihao was worried about the danger inside, so he followed closely and asked Chen Xiaoxue and others to wait outside.

The bronze statue in the secret cave is not big, only about 1005 feet high, with a dazzling golden color, but not made of pure gold or pure copper, but is refined from hardware, and is formed in one piece. Liu Chaoying looked at the rest of the cave, the bronze statue was almost connected to the base of the iron door behind, and was artificially fixed. On the black and closed iron door, the six-character mantras of Tantric Buddhism were pasted. Although this six-character mantra is common, Yang Yihao did not know what it meant. He just thought it might be similar to Amitabha Buddha. It seems that there is no need to paste such things on ordinary doors.

Yang Yihao asked Liu Chaoying: What does this six-character mantra represent? Is it a squeezing evil spirits and exorcising demons? It seems that the iron gate cannot be opened.

Liu Chaoying said to Yang Yihao: The six-character mantra represents too many meanings. Ordinary disciples recite this mantra to integrate the mind with Buddha. However, the profoundness of Tantric skills depends on the accumulation of daily cultivation and cultivation, just like the quality of milk tea and pastries. It depends on the constant stirring of butter, and you cannot expect that reciting the six-character mantra will achieve the right result. If these six words are translated into Chinese, they may mean treasures in lotus.

There are many religious schools in Tibet, and even if they are both Buddhism, there are many branches, so Liu Chaoying knows only about these things. According to Liu Chaoying's speculation, this secret cave hidden next to the Hall of Reincarnation may represent the hell of the Reincarnation Sect in Tantric Buddhism. The souls of people with great sins and evil will not be liberated after death. They will be locked in this black gate and have experienced the torture of hell, so this door cannot be opened. There may be hungry ghosts in hell, and there may be demons in the underworld.

Yang Yihao was checking in the cave with Liu Chaoying when suddenly something was on his feet and jumped over. Yang Yihao hurriedly raised his foot and kicked around. Everyone outside the cave also shone on the ground with a flashlight. It turned out to be a small black muskrat, shaped like a kitten. When the light of the flashlight shook, he hurriedly penetrated under the black door in panic.

At this time, Yang Yihao discovered a large gap under the black iron gate. Yang Yihao shone inward with a flashlight. It was too deep and nothing could be seen. Yang Yihao and Liu Chaoying no longer had too much trouble, and returned to the outside of the cave according to the same route. The secret cave had reached its end. It was better to have less trouble than more. As for what was inside, it would be left to the future archaeological team or expedition team to excavate.
