Chapter 389 Not Just a Legend
"No mistake!" Zhao Yu said with certainty, "These Buddhist scriptures are what the thieves are looking for!"
"Why?" Liang Huan was puzzled, "What do you mean by looking for Buddhist scriptures?"
"I don't know!" Zhao Yu said, pointing to the stone slabs at the bottom of the pool, "Look, this lotus pond is so muddy, it stands to reason that these stone slabs should be full of mud! But now the Buddhist scriptures on the stone slabs are so clean and clear, Someone obviously wiped it!"
"Oh... those thieves did it!" The director of the scenic spot sighed, "But why?"
"Is the lotus pond a real historical site?" Zhao Yu asked him, "Are these Buddhist scriptures from the Ming Dynasty, hundreds of years ago?"
"Well..." the director frowned, and said in embarrassment, "That's what I said, but... you should know that those are just gimmicks to attract tourists! According to historical records, the ancient lotus pond was built In the Tang Dynasty, there have been repairs in all subsequent dynasties, especially at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a large-scale repair...lāSo, those Buddhist scriptures should be from the Qing Dynasty! It is impossible to have something farther away!"
"What exactly are written in these Buddhist scriptures?" Zhao Yu asked again.
"Hmm...it should be some popular Buddhist scriptures, right?"
The director of the scenic spot glanced at Accountant Wang, and Accountant Wang hurriedly added: "It should be, if it is particularly valuable, it probably won't sink in the water like this! Police officer, we really haven't studied this in depth. The experts from the Bureau of Cultural Relics are working on it, why don't you ask the Bureau of Cultural Relics?"
Bureau of Cultural Relics?
Zhao Yu suddenly remembered those three old experts. Isn't it true that those three old experts should have done a lot of research on these Buddhist scriptures? Tomb robbers kidnapped them just to ask them to help study Buddhist scriptures?
But... it should be more than just studying Buddhist scriptures, right?
Could it be... all this is for the Golden Buddha?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yu hurriedly asked the director of the scenic spot if he knew the legend of the Twelve Golden Buddhas?
"I know! That's why the Golden Buddha Temple got its name, how could you not know about it!" The director of the scenic spot nodded and said, "When the Golden Buddha Temple was rebuilt, the leaders also suggested that they want to imitate twelve golden Buddhas and enshrine them in the The main hall! But the proposal was not approved in the end, and in the end it was changed to worship Sakyamuni!"
Next, the director of the scenic spot told everyone the legend of the year, exactly what Li Xiusheng said.
After listening, Zhao Yu suddenly thought of a possibility:
Could it be that the clues to find the Twelve Golden Buddhas are hidden in these Buddhist scriptures?
In addition to the lotus pond, there are also those stone tablets, and there are also Buddhist scriptures on the stone tablets! Also... On the wall of the prefect's tomb, there are also many Buddhist scriptures.
Could it be...the tomb robbers were really looking for the Golden Buddha? Because the clues of the Golden Buddha are hidden in the Buddhist scriptures, why did they go through so much trouble? Even at the expense of tomb robbery?
But……
Still not right?
Zhao Yu then thought that materials such as Buddhist scriptures, let alone books, can be found by searching the Internet. If the clues are really hidden in the scriptures, why would the tomb robbers bother to drain the lotus pond? What about the pool water?
Isn't there something different about the scriptures in the lotus pond?
tsk tsk...
Looking at those quaint stone scriptures, Zhao Yu wondered, is it necessary to find an expert in scriptures for consultation?
Zhao Yu was thinking about this when his cell phone rang suddenly. Miao Ying called him and told him two very important news:
The first news is that through Miao Ying's secret investigation, she found materials related to the Twelve Golden Buddhas in the studios of the three old experts, and all those materials were exclusive unpublished manuscripts!
According to the research of three experts, the twelve golden Buddhas in the Golden Buddha Temple,
It represents the twelve gods of Buddhism, also known as the twelve guardian gods! They respectively represent the heavens, dragons, ghosts and gods, stars, underworld officials and so on. In ancient times, the purpose of enshrining these twelve gods was to pray for good weather and avoid disasters.
In addition, on their manuscripts, the size and height of the twelve golden Buddhas are also recorded, as well as their hand-painted images. According to records, each golden Buddha is 50 centimeters high and 25 centimeters wide. The workmanship is extremely exquisite, and the shapes are different and lifelike.
Among the many manuscripts, the earliest can even be traced back to 20 years ago. It can be seen that the three old experts have studied the Golden Buddha for half their lives!
However, they have achieved certain research results, but they have never disclosed their research to the outside world, even their family members do not know about it.
They did it so covertly, obviously they had other purposes!
As for the second news, it was even more shocking.
Miao Ying has just received a message that a theft has occurred in the archives of the Cultural Relics Bureau, and some materials about Jinshi literature in Qinshan area have been stolen!
What is even more astonishing is that a long time has passed by the time the staff found out because the thieves did it neatly.
After the police intervened in the investigation, they found that those materials had been stolen 20 days ago, and even the surveillance hard drives of the archives had been changed!
ah! ?
Upon receiving such news, Zhao Yu was naturally shocked!
The monitoring hard drive was dropped again! The theft from the archives is exactly the same as the situation at the Golden Buddha Temple, and it is obvious that the same group of people did it!
What is lost in the archives is the gold and stone documents, and it is estimated that there must be Buddhist scriptures in it!
oh……
Suddenly, Zhao Yu seemed to have figured out a way of thinking from the complicated case:
The tomb robbers may have gotten some clues from the ancient tombs, and then went to the Museum of the Cultural Relics Bureau to steal materials!
Maybe they didn't find it, or maybe the Cultural Relics Bureau's information was incomplete, so they came to the Golden Buddha Temple again, and set their hands on the ancient lotus pond and stone tablet!
tsk tsk...
Zhao Yu was getting more and more excited as he was speechless again and again!
This thing is getting more and more interesting! Obviously, behind the ancient tomb murder case, there is still a shocking treasure hunting case hidden!
The three old experts may have been involved by accident, or they may be the instigators themselves!
Zhao Yu felt that if the tomb robbers and the old experts had no real evidence, then the ancient tomb murder case would never have happened!
Therefore, it is possible that the legendary Twelve Golden Buddhas of Qinshan Mountain are really more than just a legend! ?
Oops my Granny Bear!
Suddenly, Zhao Yu had an unprecedented evil thought, the boss of the system! Otherwise, let's open a "Dui" hexagram tomorrow to have fun, shall we? )!!
