Chapter 584 Entering the valley, strange

Yu Yao went back to the hotel to meet Xiao Ying, he had completely recovered to his usual state.

In Xiao Ying's room, Yu Yao took out this black lacquer plate.

"This thing seems very ordinary, why did you buy it?" Xiao Ying couldn't help asking after seeing it.

"It really doesn't mean much. However, the pattern of Panxin inspired me, and it was not a loss, so I just bought it." Yu Yao said, he took Duan Silian as a monk, and then became a disciple of Puming and his Buddha name Guangde , Immortal Ape Listening to Zen, I have talked about this series of situations.

Xiao Ying was also a little surprised when he heard this, "So, this cave is very likely to be related to Duan Silian, Emperor of Dali Kingdom, and the later eminent monk Guangde?"

Yu Yao nodded, "If it has something to do with him, then we have an additional reference for the mechanism to crack the entrance."

"I don't care about Xiangshang, Puming Guangde. Is the two Buddha names cleverly embedded in the literal meaning? Or is it not the literal meaning at all?" Xiao Ying pondered.

"I haven't figured it out yet. If it's not the literal meaning, then does this 'unrespectful love' refer to himself and Gao Zhisheng who is in power? Or him and Master Puming? It's hard to determine." Yu Yao replied.

"I really don't know much about the history of Dali Kingdom except the ones in martial arts novels." Xiao Ying frowned.

"En." Yu Yao introduced, "As far as I know, Duan Silian was forced to take the Zen position due to Gao Zhisheng's power, but after the Zen position, he was in the realm of Buddhism."

Xiao Ying then asked, "Gao Zhisheng, is there anything special about him?"

Yu Yao thought for a while, "He has always held great power. Later, another powerful minister, Yang Yizhen, killed the emperor Duan Lianyi and made himself emperor. Gao Zhisheng asked his son Gao Shengtai to raise troops to destroy Yang Yizhen. After Gao Zhisheng died, Gao Shengtai continued to hold power, and later he simply He proclaimed himself emperor, and the country was named 'Dazhong'."

"So, Dali also had a history of subjugation?"

"Yes, but it was very short. Before Gao Shengtai died, the imperial edict reverted to Duan Zhengchun. In fact, it was still the Dali Kingdom of the Duan family. But because the Duan family's regime was interrupted, it is generally called 'Hou Li'."

"Oh? The emperor behind Duan Zhengchun is Duan Yu?" Because Duan Zhengchun and Duan Yu are very famous in martial arts novels, Xiao Ying couldn't help asking.

"Duan Zhengchun's son is called Duan Zhengyan, whose name is Heyu, which is indeed the prototype of Duan Yu. Duan Zhengyan is actually a relatively accomplished emperor in Dali Kingdom. He reigned for 39 years. However, although he is the emperor, the Dali Kingdom As a vassal to the Northern Song Dynasty, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty gave Duan Zhengyan the title of Jiedu Envoy of Yunnan and King of Dali."

Xiao Ying twitched her fingers and turned her thoughts, "Tell me, if we go directly, will we waste time in front of the stele?"

"You were injured at the time, so you didn't get to participate in the research carefully, but I didn't see it; I think it's better to go there first and study it in detail on the spot, even if it's a waste of time."

"Okay, let's go tomorrow morning."

At six o'clock the next morning, the two got into the car that had been chartered in advance.Originally, Yu Yao wanted to contact the taxi driver, but Xiao Ying had been in Jingliang County for a long time, so he started to arrange it, and Yu Yao didn't mention it again.

When the car reached a village on a hillside, it had to stop.After Xiao Ying explained, he and Yu Yao entered the mountain.

From where the village is, they turned up a hill and came to a valley with a stream. They walked upstream along the stream for a while, and the two of them turned over a hill again, and then walked on the high mountain.

It was difficult to walk along the way, but the two of them were fully prepared and equipped, and Xiao Ying had been here again, so the speed was not bad.

When the two of them approached noon, they finally arrived at the valley that Xiao Ying mentioned. The bottom of this valley is relatively flat, but there are overgrown grasses and wild trees, and birds and hares will jump out from time to time.

"It's here!" Xiao Ying pointed at a place close to the mountain wall.

The stele was erected against the mountain wall. There was a roughly oval area in front of the stele, which looked like a large piece of complete bluestone, with a long diameter of about three meters and a short diameter of about two and a half meters.All around are earthy valleys.

There are cracks on the big bluestone, which seem to have been naturally weathered and cracked for a long time. There is soil accumulated in the gaps, and weeds have grown.

The inscription on the stele is just like what Xiao Ying said, engraved inscribed, official script; the eight protrusions on the stele pedestal seem to be about the same size and are basically round, but the specific shapes seem to be slightly different.

The stele pedestal and protrusions are covered with thick dust and some dry things.Yu Yao pulled out a few weeds and tied them into a bunch; he also broke off a thin branch and cleaned it up.

"It's a bit strange!"

After cleaning it up, Yu Yao looked at it in detail, and suddenly pointed to the protrusions and said to Xiao Ying, "Look! There are traces of potholes carved on these protrusions, are they gossip symbols?"

Xiao Ying checked again and found that it was indeed as Yu Yao said.

However, the eight gossip symbols, Qian Kun Zhen Gen Li Kan Dui Xun, were originally composed of "long, short and horizontal", and the whole should also be rectangular.And these eight nearly round protrusions are not so regular, and the surroundings are basically round.

However, through the different potholes on the surface, it is really possible to distinguish eight different structures one by one.

Although Yu Yao doesn't know the art of Taoism, he still understands things in traditional history and culture such as gossip.He also knows the formula of the eight gossip symbols composed of "long, short and horizontal":

Gan Sanlian, Kun six broken, shakes up the yu, Gen covers the bowl, leaves the middle empty, the ridge is full, the upper is short, and the lower is broken.

"I didn't clean it up at the time, I didn't expect this to happen!" Xiao Ying replied, "That's right, it's just the gossip symbols, but the edges are round, and the depiction in the middle is not so regular. But the eight can correspond one by one. .It's a bit strange."

Both Yu Yao and Xiao Ying said it was strange because they combined their previous judgments and thought that it might be a Buddhist enchantment and a cave related to Buddhism.However, gossip is the content of Taoism, and although it may have some connection with the Buddhism of the middle land, it has no essential relationship after all.

"Could it be that this Puming Guangde is not the Buddha's name? Are we making it too far-fetched?" Yu Yao pondered.

Xiao Ying shook her head slightly, "But this recoiled spiritual power is more like a fusion of Buddhist supernatural powers, not like Taoist spiritual energy."

Yu Yao nodded, "There are many things that happened nearly a thousand years ago that we can't understand now." Then, Yu Yao pointed to the oval bluestone in front of the stele, "There are gossip symbols on the pedestal, the shape of this bluestone And cracks, the more I look at it, the more it looks like a tortoise shell!"

"Huh?" Xiao Ying was injured before, and the crack seemed to be formed naturally, with grass growing, so he didn't think about it carefully; when Yu Yao said this, he couldn't help but his heart moved, and he lowered his head to study carefully.
