The Golden Book of Xixia is just a map of the treasure of the country, and the real treasure is in the Secret Curse and Demon-Conquering Hall.
The nobles of the Western Xia Dynasty believed in Buddhism.
What was enshrined in the palace on the mountainside was not a statue, but a huge mural.
In the mural, the Demon-Conquering God holds a nine-branch vajra in one hand and a treasure-vomiting beast in the other.
Xixia aristocrats believed that the more exquisite the religious murals they worshiped, the greater the merit of the person worshiping them.
In order to build the Demon-Suppressing Secret Curse Palace, Xixia recruited thousands of painters, civilians, and slaves.
It took more than a hundred years to build, and a large number of treasures were used.
It is said that under the murals, there is an ancient tomb where a witch is buried.
Xixia murals have a wide range of contents and rich themes, including farming, banquets, animal husbandry, chess games, singing and dancing, killing, and slaves.
Xixia is a strong believer in Buddhism.
There are many fictitious "Lingshan Paradise" in the murals, as well as unique Xixia themes such as "Pure Land Transformation, Medicine Master Transformation, Hell Transformation, Nirvana Transformation, Tantric Mandala Transformation, Infinite Life Sutra Transformation", interspersed with "mandala, Decorated with "birds and beasts, dragons and phoenixes, diamonds, strong men and bodhisattvas", the painting style is bright and solemn.
Xixia Buddhist murals are particularly good at using bian.
The so-called "bian" is also called "jing bian" or "disguise", which means that through exquisite painting techniques, profound scriptures are presented to the world, so that people who cannot read can Intuitively feel the Dharma in the scriptures.
In the Buddhist caves and tombs unearthed everywhere, Xixia painters used their infinite imagination to create a Buddhist world, ranging from the mundane to the sacred.
Xue Liyang has an album in his hand.
Among them is a Dunhuang mural that was lost overseas.
It depicts the Demon-Suppressing God sitting on the Xumizuo in the middle.
There are two monsters on the left and right, one with a human face and tiger claws, and the other with a human face and scale body.
There are nine in each, with a ferocious appearance, surrounded by feathered figures, with swords drawn and fierce, almost ready to break out of the wall.
The murals are clear in priority and orderly, setting off a strange and mysterious religious atmosphere.
The theme of the murals in the Secret Curse Hall of Xixia should be similar to this.
It is said that the Secret Mantra and Demon-Conquering Palace is close to the Mongolian desert.
It is located at the southwest edge of the Mu Us Desert where it connects with the mountains.
The mountains in that area are long, with high peaks and dangerous cliffs.
There are cliffs and faults everywhere.
It is impossible to pass from other directions.
Since ancient times, it has been surrounded by grasslands.
The shepherds on it are called the Magic Mountain, and its exact location has been lost for a long time.
Back then, Mu Us had not suffered from quicksand, and there were many oases and castles.
Later, the Mongolian army conquered Xixia for six times.
The legendary Golden Pearl, together with the glorious Xixia Dynasty, were swallowed up by the wind and sand, leaving no trace in the world.
The Xixia Golden Book records the location of the Secret Mantra and Demon-Conquering Hall, but it is extremely difficult to find this place.
Because the water veins dried up, desertification quickly occurred.
After Xixia was destroyed, quicksand became a disaster.
Starting from the Ming Dynasty, those who stationed troops on the Great Wall in the sand belt had to remove the sand year after year.
If the quicksand was not removed, the sand would be buried underneath the city wall.
This shows how serious the quicksand is.
Dajinya spread the photos of the Xixia Golden Book, which attracted the attention of overseas tomb robbing gangs.
This was too big a deal.
Xue Liyang decided to find this huge treasure before the overseas tomb robbing gangs started.
Time was very tight.
The longer the delay, the more unfavorable the situation would be.
I turned around and looked at Fatty and Da Jinya.
They said nothing, waiting for me to make a decision.
As soon as I heard Xue Liyang say this, I knew I couldn't leave again.

Xue Liyang is not a person who shy away from dangers when faced with difficulties.
I completely understand why she went to find the Xixia Ancient Tomb.
As for the reason, I didn't have time to tell Fatty and Da Jinya at this moment.
But Xue Liyang decided to go to the Xixia Tomb, of course I had to go, and it was impossible for Fatty not to go.
The three of them had a tacit understanding and had nothing to say.
So Fatty and I stayed behind to get ready, while Xueli Yang went to make plans for the trip.
We agreed to leave early tomorrow morning and discuss the specific plans on the way.
We were busy until the evening, when Fatty, Da Jinya and I had bulging stomachs.
We went out to find a shabu-shabu restaurant, ordered a pot, sat down, exchanged cups, and puffed out steam.
Da Jinya asked me: "Master Hu, are you really going to find the Xixia Ancient Tomb?"
I said, "It's not because you spread the photos that you got into so much trouble.
Now I can't even think about it.
Fortunately, the photos were not taken completely and the initiative is still in our hands.
This is also a blessing among misfortunes."
Big Jinya said: "That's my Big Jinya's fault.
It's a disservice.
I'll punish myself with three drinks."
He did three drinks in a row, wiped his mouth, and asked the fat man: "Fat Master, are you going?"
" The fat man said: "If I don't go, he won't even be able to find the north."
Da Jinya said: "I have also figured it out.
Poor bachelors are all raised by young mothers.
If they don't work hard, they won't be able to eat.
If you want to get rich, you have to play with your life."
I said: "What do you mean, you want to follow me too?
You have been hanging out in Panjiayuan for so many years.
At least you can take advantage of some wealth.
You also have a family and a family.
When did you become a poor bachelor?
Don't blame it on yourself."
If you want to wear a hat, you have to measure the size first, right?"
The big gold tooth said: "Master Hu, you don't understand.
I have enough money to do anything.
Northwest Feng can hardly drink anymore."
He chewed the tooth flowers and continued: "Go to Guanzhong to get some money."
I have a share in the utensils.
My big gold tooth has stabbed Lou Zi.
I can’t let you take the blame for me.
You go to the Xixia Ancient Tombs, but I have to go.”
I said: "Don't make this idea as soon as possible.
This is no different than going out to collect things.
The foreseeable dangers and difficulties are too numerous to count.
If you make a slight mistake, your life will be at risk.
I know very well how capable you are.
It’s not that I don’t want you to go, but I can’t just watch you jump into the fire pit.
It’s hard for a bird born in a nest to fly on the same road, so you should stay and have a stable meal.”

Da Jinya fucked three more times, his face turned red and his neck was thick from drinking, he said: "Master Hu, you really underestimate me.
Friendship is only found in times of adversity.
At this time, can I stand back?
What's the fear of losing my life?"
How much is life worth?
I, Da Jinya, am so drunk.
I am just trying to cover up the smell and cannot serve it on the table.
It is worth throwing it away for you."
I saw that Big Jinya was determined to go, and there was nothing he could do to stop him.
He was just afraid that he would not get any benefits.
He probably also thought that Fatty and I were loyal enough.
If we were in danger, he would remember our past friendship and at least not throw it away.
Get off him.
I thought to myself: "It's hard to persuade a damn devil with good words.
At this point, what else is there to say?"
I had to say to him: "Master Jin, it wasn't Fatty and I who met you in Panjiayuan.
We The two brothers really may not be able to eat this bowl of rice. , there is no distinction between us, we can say anything directly, no need to beat around the bush, you can go, but there are a few words I have to say to you first.
First of all, there are many tomb robbers eyeing this treasure.
If it happens, Go ahead, I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with.
Secondly, to enter the Xixia Magic Mountain, you must pass through the Mongolian desert.
There are few fixed sand dunes in that area, and the most terrifying thing is that there is no water at all.
Don’t look at the lakes dotted on the map, they are all salty.
Water, have you drank it?
There are immortals.
Even if you find the underground palace, if you dare to enter it, have you ever thought about why the ancient tomb where the witch is buried is called the Secret Curse Demon Palace?
To be honest, it is self-evident that this trip is dangerous.
The chances of success are slim.”
Although I am worried about Big Gold Tooth, I have told him everything I need to say.
His life is his own.
It is not up to him to decide where he wants to throw it.
The three of them mentioned that they were going to set off tomorrow to search for the Xixia ancient tomb at the end of the desert, so they had to put aside their plans to fly far away.
But to be honest, we usually want to create three-foot waves when there is no wind, and we are so busy that we are so busy.
This is a rare opportunity, and everyone seems to be extra energetic.
The moonlight was as cold as a knife, and the three brothers were sitting in a small restaurant.
They talked to each other and expressed their feelings.
They also mentioned the huge mural enshrined in the Xixia Secret Mantra Hall.
Da Jinya asked me why Xueli Yang decided to go to me to see Da Jinya without even thinking about it.
He looked at Fatty again, pondered for a moment, and told them both in a low voice: "The bright moon pearl in the Western Xia Magic Mountain is the ancestor of Taoist Banshan."
