Selfishness

When the gate was opened, there was a statue of Buddha in the middle of the pagoda. Even without a torch, it could be seen just by the sunlight outside.Although he couldn't see clearly, he could still feel a majestic aura.

Anfeng lit the torch, and instantly the entire interior of the pagoda appeared in front of us.

The Buddha statue is in the middle of the whole room, like a pillar supporting the room.The tower base of the Buddha statue is about three or four feet long.The Buddha statue feels very tall.Probably this Buddha statue is carved too majesticly, making anyone standing in front of it look very small.

In addition to the Buddha statue in the middle, there are many books scattered around the open space.Looking carefully, it seems that there are still many portraits.

"Look! There are murals here!" Su Yun held up a torch and pointed it at the wall.

"Hey! Don't hold it too tight!"

Because of Su Yun's reminder, we set our sights on the surrounding walls.Each side is filled with rich human figures.In addition, the algae well above the head is also painted with honeysuckle curly grass, and the middle seems to be...a phoenix?

These murals are really beautiful.The faces of some characters have already turned black, presumably lead has been added.But other than that, the colors in many places can still be seen, which are more vivid than the colors of the tower outside.This further confirms my previous conjecture that these pigments are made of gemstones—otherwise they will not fade forever, and only very rich people can build them.

"What's on this mural?" Miracle Doctor Su was puzzled again.

"Miss Su, these are probably gods. Look, they are all flying." An Feng and Su Yun had a heated discussion.

"Chen Hui, these should all be Jingbian diagrams."

"Huh? Shuisheng still knows things about the Western Regions?" She laughed again, the same as before.

"My Zhonghu City is not too far from the Western Regions. Occasionally, there are merchants from the Western Regions. I bought a few books from them to read when I have nothing to do."

"That's a lot of books. Take them all back and read them, little Mozi!"

I was too busy looking at the murals, but I haven't even had time to read the books in this place.I picked up a copy casually, but as soon as I opened it, I was dumbfounded.After coming here, the traditional simplified characters can no longer be used, so I have to learn traditional characters.Although my writing is not very good, but I can basically recognize it.But in this book, I really recognize and do not recognize.These characters are similar to Chinese characters and are all square characters.But there are actually many more strokes than traditional Chinese characters!Instantly understand those foreigners who are learning Chinese.I'm sorry for you!

"Chen Hui, what do you think these words are? I don't know any of them."

Chen Hui came over to take a look, and was also stunned. "I don't know a single word. This character doesn't look like a foreign language, it looks like Chinese characters, but it's not Chinese characters. It's really strange, I've never seen this kind of characters."

Chen Hui was also at a loss.We both tried to distinguish one or two characters, or looked for similarities with Chinese characters to speculate, but both ended in failure.

Just when we racked our brains and couldn't come to a conclusion, Dr. Su gave us another surprise.

"Huh? I think I've seen this word before!" Master Su said while taking a book.

"You actually know Su Yun?" I asked in surprise.

"Little Mozi, what's your tone! Is my aunt very out of ink?" Miracle Doctor Su put down his book, raised his hand as if I was calling, and then I quickly dodged it.But Doctor Su didn't seem to intend to let me go, he chased me all the way and started fighting.

"You two, stop fighting. Ayun, do you know what kind of language this is?" Chen Hui stopped our boring fight.

"do not know."

"I said you don't know what to say!" Before Su Yun could speak, I laughed.

"Shuisheng. Let Ayun finish." Chen Hui grabbed me with a warning look in his eyes.

"Hmph! Little Mozi, you are just jealous!" Master Su gave me a blank look and continued, "I don't know this word. But I remember, I saw it in an ancient prescription of my master. He seemed to say it was a very Remedies of the old country."

"Which country?" Chen Hui and I said in unison.

"I really don't know. My master just picked it up by chance, and he doesn't know these characters. But where he picked up the prescription, an old man told him that this is an ancient character that has been lost." Su Yun was very helpless. said shaking his head.

I feel a little pity.But thinking about it, take all these books back and look carefully, maybe there are some clues.

"Shui Sheng. I think this should be a library, not a pagoda." Chen Hui said suddenly.

"Why? These may be Buddhist scriptures."

"I don't know, I just feel it. I always feel that as a Buddhist pagoda, this place seems to be different." Chen Hui frowned with some distress.

"I will figure it out. Don't worry about Chen Hui." I said with a chuckle, "I never thought that Chen Hui would be so obsessed with history."

"History is important, especially to us, isn't it?"

Right.

"What is this?" Su Yun muttered in confusion.

Before we had time to see what Su Yun found, we heard some heavy sounds coming from the ground, as if something was moving.The whole floor also started shaking.

The moment I heard that voice, I used my lightness kung fu to run towards the ground with Chen Hui.The moment I ran, I shouted loudly: "Get out!"

After Chen Hui and I returned to the ground, there was a loud noise behind us, and immediately after, Miracle Doctor Su and An Feng ran out in disgrace.While running, Su Yun scolded: "I say little Mozi! Are you a rabbit? How can you jump so fast! Oh, hello! This ashes really choked me to death!"

Su Yun and An Feng kept coughing and tearing up.For a while, I was also a little ashamed, and I was indeed a little unjust.

"Little Mozi, you are a heartless little Mozi! You ran out with your arms around Chen Hui's waist! Don't care about the two of us! You are a heartless little Mozi!" Coughing and still not forgetting to scold me.

"Great doctor Su, don't be surprised. Isn't this Chen Hui who is close to me? I promise! I will save you next time no matter how far away! So don't be angry when you get old."

"Hmph! Auntie, I'm too lazy to share common sense with you, a heartless person!" The genius doctor Su didn't show any sign of forgiving me, and kept burying me.

Probably seeing how desolate I was being buried, so Chen Hui couldn't bear it and said: "Ah Yun, first tell me what you discovered? Why did you suddenly change?"

"Didn't I just see a phoenix under the pedestal of the Buddha statue? But there seemed to be something in the phoenix's eyes, so I touched it. I didn't know it would become like this." Su Yun touched her nose guilty.

touch?It was pressed.

"Did some mechanism be activated? Why don't I go down and have a look?"

"How can little master go! I'll go!" Before I could react, An Feng jumped down.

Eh!This guy has hands and feet!What's the matter!

"Nonsense! Anfeng, stop!" I said and chased after Chen Hui, regardless of Chen Hui's obstruction.

I raised the torch and ran in, but I didn't see An Feng. I became anxious and shouted: "An Feng! Where are you!"

"Little master!" An Feng excitedly walked out from behind the Buddha statue.

"Anfeng! Nonsense! Do you think you're playing hide-and-seek!" I yelled angrily.

Probably because my tone was too loud, An Feng smiled on his face for a while, and looked at me a little helplessly.

"Little Mozi! You are bullying An Feng again!" Su Yun and Chen Hui followed me in.

"Shui Sheng, An Feng hasn't explained yet, why are you scolding him?"

Huh?Can I yell a few times in a hurry?No matter how you scold me, I am very wronged.

"I'm not worried!"

"Are you so worried about people!"

"Cough, I'm too excited. Anfeng, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, little master, I've made you worry." An Feng rubbed his head in embarrassment.

"It's fine." I patted An Feng on the head and said, "Where did you go just now?"

At this time, An Feng said as if he had just woken up from a dream: "Little master! There is a room below!"
