Hearing what Diao Ye said, Lao Jiang and the others couldn't help but come over. They saw Diao Ye order the camel to carefully hand over a huge parchment scroll, which was gently unfolded on the sand in front of us.
This is also the first time I have seen a complete treasure map.
Xiang Wanli and others were also shocked. Diao Ye has now drawn the entire ancient Silk Road. When I saw that there were many places circled with red pens, I suddenly discovered Dunhuang, Yumen Pass, including the Devil's City, and the Undead. Desert and so on.
But there is a large empty space on the left side of this treasure map, which happens to be the key route to find the treasure. Shahu was so discerning that he found a magnifying glass and placed it on the fragments of the Kinnara statue.
Master Diao picked up a thin pencil and filled in the pattern on the big treasure map!
Soon, a small piece of our incomplete treasure map was filled in, and the remaining blank spaces were like interlocking teeth, which was a headache.
Lao Jiang was amazed from behind: "I didn't expect that the previous clay statues were all hidden traps. Even I, a master of traps, couldn't figure it out, but this Kinnara statue is so easy to crack."
"If I had known, I would have smashed it to pieces with a hammer, almost scaring my precious apprentice half to death!"
When I heard Lao Jiang call me "baby apprentice", I immediately gave him a wink and called me "Li Jinglan" in case of trouble. If something good happens, I will be my treasure. Dogtail grass is not as good at turning around as he is.
Diao Ye let out a hoarse laugh and shook his head: "That's right, that's right! This clay statue was not smashed to pieces, but was broken by accident when it heard the bell of bliss."
"How do you say that?" Several of us looked at each other, never expecting that the secret would be cracked by the bell.
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Diao told us the story about the god Kinnara.
The people of ancient Tianzhu liked to sing and dance. Whether they were working in the fields or getting something, they would sing and dance gracefully to express their joy.
So among the people, they worshiped a god of singing and dancing - Kinnara.
The shape of Kinnara is a strange twin man and woman, like conjoined twins, with a man on the left and a woman on the right. The man raises his neck as if singing, while the woman always maintains a beautiful posture of dancing.
As it received more and more trust, Kinnara became more and more arrogant. It began to think that its singing voice was the best in the world and its dancing was unparalleled.
Unknowingly, Kinnara escaped into the devil's path!
The man's image let out a sad and strange smile: "If you don't compete with all the singers in the world, how will you know that I am the god of singing?"
The image of a woman raises her head proudly: "No matter where they are, all dancers will bow down to my dance skirt."
Inspired by this idea, Kinnara began to challenge famous singers and dancers from various places.
Those people must accept the challenge! Unless you choose to voluntarily admit defeat.
But there is a prerequisite for voluntarily admitting defeat, that is, as a singer, you are not allowed to sing anymore, and your tongue must be cut off. As a dancer, you are no longer allowed to dance, and your legs must be cut off.
They were not willing to lose their tongues and legs, so most people accepted Kinnara's challenge.
But no one has ever won Kinnara, they all lost...
The loser will naturally face the punishment of Kinnara. Once he loses to Kinnara, one of his bones will be taken alive by Kinnara and made into a musical instrument belonging to Kinnara.
Gradually, Kinnara's temples were filled with various human bone musical instruments, and people began to fear Kinnara and stopped worshiping him.
Many people dare not sing and dance, and even speak deliberately rough, for fear of being discovered by Kinnara who has a good voice and is a natural singer.
This matter soon reached the ears of Buddha!
When he saw that there were no more smiles on people's faces, no more songs and laughter on the ground, and no more beautiful dances, the Buddha transformed into a traveler from the Western Regions and sang melodious music under a Bodhi tree.
Many people were attracted by the music, and some kindly reminded the Buddha that singing in front of the public would lead to death.
Not only did the Buddha not stop, but he even got worse!
Soon, the news about a singing and dancing master under the bodhi tree reached Kinnara's ears, and Kinnara issued a challenge again!
When the man's head on it sang a wonderful song, he thought he had won, but he heard the Buddha opposite sang a more lively song.
This song makes people feel extremely happy. It makes the buds in the grass bloom with happiness and makes the larks in the trees close their mouths in shame...
Kinnaragama in the form of a man bowed down.
But the next moment he turned into the image of a woman: "I want to dance with you. If I win, I will cut off your legs and use them as my drum stand."
The woman was dressed in the most gorgeous dance skirt, with bright red clothes dotted with various colored gems. Her figure was enchanting and she was holding a small drum in her arms.
God, her dancing was so graceful, so beautiful that everyone watching the game was intoxicated. Even though they knew that this woman was a devil, they couldn't help but applaud her.
Soon it was Buddha's turn!
The Buddha didn't hold any musical instruments. He was just spinning around and jumping up on the spot. He didn't have any high-skilled movements or any gorgeous clothes, only the simplest happiness.
The people who originally applauded Kinnara soon joined the Buddha and danced happily with him.
This is the highest state of a dancer and the most basic thing, which resonates with the audience and gives them the simplest happiness.
As a woman, Kinnara gradually remembered the smiling faces of those people when they worshiped her. There was no fear, no fear, only yearning and appreciation.
While she was blindly pursuing victory and being arrogant and rude, she had long lost her original intention as a dancer.
Kinnara was so ashamed that she put away her arrogance and wanted to atone for her sins from the bottom of her heart. At that moment, she suddenly became a Bodhisattva and willingly became the protector of the Buddhist kingdom.
Since then, he has become one of the Eight Heavenly Dragons!
After listening to this story, I suddenly realized: "It was the beautiful melody of the bells of bliss that made the statue feel ashamed and reveal the secret in its belly."
Diao Ye nodded: "Everything is like a dream, true and false, false and true."
"The way of the mechanism is all about the mind. Even if it tells you clearly that you can get the secret by smashing the statue, do you dare to bet?"
I was speechless. What Mr. Diao said was true.
Such an important Kinnara statue is the only one in the world, and behind it lies the secret of the Buddhist pagoda of Monk Le.
Who dares to break it, and who is willing to break it? You only have one chance, and once you make a mistake, you will regret it.
Since ancient times, agencies have been a battle between tomb robbers and anti-grave robbers spanning thousands of years.
If it weren't for the guidance of "Thirty-Six Techniques for Moving Mountains and Reclaiming Seas", how would I have been able to see through these eight pieces of Tianlong? But what to do with the remaining Garuda statue?
While I was thinking, everyone was staring at me without blinking, especially Lao Jiang’s eyes that were almost glued to me.
I asked him: "What do you mean?"
