Don't pretend, anchor, I've seen you touch the golden talisman!

Chapter 207 Have you seen this person?
According to the idea just now, Lin Yi began to explore the top of the Buddha's head by candlelight.

Sure enough, in the middle, a "fishing drum" mark engraved on the branch was found.

Among the "Dark Eight Immortals", "Yugu" represents Zhang Guolao, which means "Looking at the sky and the earth, predicting things like God".

The existence of this "fishing drum" mark is self-evident, which shows that Lin Yi guessed Li Chunfeng's intention.

Following the direction pointed by the fishing drum streamer, which is the position of the back of the Buddha's statue, and groping along the wooden inner shell, my fingers touched an extremely inconspicuous ravine.

According to the direction of the gully, it has a nearly hexagonal outline, which is basically large enough for an adult to pass through.

This should be the exit left when the final capping work was done after sending people into the interior for inspection before the entire statue was completed.

This place is not too far from the highest point, and it is at the back of the head, close to the mountain behind, so it is not easy to detect.

Lin Yi took out the barrier knife, drew a circle along the gully, and lifted up his hands suddenly, and the nearly hexagonal cover was pushed away by his hands.

"The exit has been found!"

Lin Yi turned around and called out, then pushed the cover completely open, stepped on the beam and leaned half of his body out.

A cold feeling came over me.

The sound of rushing water could be heard overhead.

Putting your hands together, you stood on the top of the Buddha's head and looked down. In addition to the darkness, there were also dots of embers left when they used to burn the Tibetan-tailed scorpion.

This feeling of condescension is indeed easy to get lost.

Wang Qiang and Qian Sheng came out of the hole immediately, standing on the Buddha's head, listening to the sound of rumbling water above their heads, they were indeed a little timid.

Standing on the Buddha's head, everything was pitch black and there was nothing to see.

Wang Qiang became interested in the true face of this Buddha statue.

"Old Lin, shopkeeper Qian, they all said that there is a Buddha statue in the Longmen Grottoes, which is carved according to Wu Zetian's facial features. Is it true?"

Qian Sheng chuckled twice.

"That's just a promotional method for tourist attractions, and there is no record of this incident in historical materials.

According to the only historical material on the study of the Lushena Buddha statue, "The Story of the Yangda Lushena Buddha Shrine in Longmen Mountain, Shangdu, Heluo", this Buddha statue was originally built by Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty to commemorate Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, and Wu Zetian only sponsored 2 Guan of rouge money.

In order to commemorate his own father, he engraved his queen's face on it.

The most important thing is that this queen, a woman who was once the father, is so filial?Isn't this just disgusting to my old father? "

"Then what exactly does Wu Zetian look like?"

"In Zhang Xuan's "Picture of Empress Wu Walking from the Tang Dynasty", the appearance of Empress Wu was drawn, but I don't think the appearance in the painting is very reliable. The Empress Wu in the portrait has big arms and round waist, taller than other people around her. Half of the head, the chin, three layers, can you believe it?
Although plumpness was regarded as beauty in the Tang Dynasty, being plump like this has nothing to do with beauty, right? "

"That is to say, I don't know exactly what Wu Zetian looks like."

Qian Sheng thought for a while and nodded.

"Basically, it can be said that, after all, the court painters of the Tang Dynasty did not take the road of realism, and even exaggerated a bit, deliberately catering to the aesthetics of the time.

However, Wu Zetian must not be ugly, otherwise she would not have been selected into the palace as a talented person at the age of 15. "

After Wang Qiang heard his explanation, he took a few steps to Lin Yi and lightly slapped him with his shoulder.

"Old Lin, tell me, is this Buddha statue really carved according to Wu Zetian's appearance?"

Before Lin Yi could speak, Qian Sheng suddenly became interested.

"Hey, Lord Wang, don't tell me, it's really possible that the facial features of this Buddha statue are made according to Wu Zetian's own appearance, and this Buddha statue is made of wood and clay, which is more realistic than those stone statues."

Lin Yi lowered his head and looked at the Buddha statue covered by yellow silk at his feet, feeling somewhat curious in his heart.

But it is not that difficult to see the appearance of this Buddha statue.

There are no drones, no coercion, and no ladders to climb.

"I'm afraid you can't see it at all?"

"Isn't it easy to see?"

Wang Qiang walked over the Buddha's head confidently.

"I'll shake off the yellow silk later. You throw in a few fluorescent sticks. Aren't we all watching?"

When Lin Yi heard this, it was a solution.

So he took the umbrella rope, tied a circle of safety rope around Wang Qiang's waist, and fixed the other end on the beam inside the Buddha's head, and then asked him to climb to the forehead and pick up the yellow silk with both hands.

The material of this yellow silk is really exquisite, and it has not deteriorated after thousands of years.

Lin Yi took out a few fluorescent sticks from his bag and everything was ready. Wang Qiang yanked the yellow silk with both hands and shook it vigorously.

The yellow silk began to fluctuate from top to bottom, Lin Yi broke off the fluorescent stick and threw it in through the gap.

In the darkness, a burst of fluorescent light suddenly flickered, and this Buddha statue, which had been hidden for thousands of years, finally revealed its true face at this moment.

As expected by Qian Sheng, the appearance of the Buddha statue was shaped by a more realistic artistic technique.

You can tell at a glance that she is definitely a beauty.

Although the eyebrows and eyes are downcast, the facial features are still quite three-dimensional, not like the overly plump body that appears in those ancient paintings of the Tang Dynasty.

Both Wang Qiang and Qian Sheng were dumbfounded.

And Lin Yi's pupils contracted violently, his heart beat faster, and the expression on his face was extremely astonished.

"Old Lin, look at your worthless look. How can you be so excited by just a statue? If you haven't seen enough, I'll shake it off for you. You can look at it a few more times. We don't need this light stick anyway. ”

Qian Sheng, however, read a slightly different feeling from Lin Yi's expression.

Lin Yi has always been calm, and he rarely loses his composure.

Even if there were really beautiful women standing in front of him, it wouldn't be like this.

"Master Lin, are you okay?"

Qian Sheng asked in a low voice.

Lin Yi didn't speak for a while, just stood there, his eyes staring blankly.

"Just tell me if you haven't seen enough. If you haven't seen enough, we can take another look. If that doesn't work, find a rope, tie it to your phone, and take some more photos for you."

Seeing that he remained silent, Wang Qiang immediately realized that something was wrong.

Picking up the live broadcast equipment, he came to Lin Yi.

"What's going on, talk!"

"I've seen this face before!"

"Have you seen it?" The two people around him shouted in unison.

Lin Yi nodded firmly.

"I still remember that in the tomb of Queen Jingjue, the queen I saw sitting in the coffin almost had the same facial features as this statue."

"You can't, right? Master Wang, have you seen what Queen Jingjue looks like?"

Wang Qiang shook his head.

"That place is very evil, and I just entered the coffin once before, and no one dared to go down. Only Lao Lin dared to look at it. Xiao Song, I and I all looked at the photos later."

Qian Sheng's face showed embarrassment.

"Then it should be said that, in the whole world, no one except Master Lin has seen what Queen Jingjue looks like with his own eyes!"
