"By the way, I heard the Taoist priest say that this group of believers seems to have migrated from Tibet, saying that the ancient tomb we are going to dig is the burial ground of the gods they worship, and their responsibility to come here is to protect the tomb from being excavated by outsiders for the gods, and for this reason, they will not hesitate to kill all the invaders......"
After speaking, Ye Shaoyang realized something, and glanced at Sibao, both of them were stunned, and finally Ye Shaoyang took a breath and said, "No......
This mausoleum is buried with the Emperor Shakti, right?
” The vibration of Sibao's heart is indescribable.
Professor Sun didn't dare to be interested in their words, and chewed on Ye Shaoyang's words repeatedly, "From Tibet, ...... from Tibet" slapped his thigh, "I thought of it!"
” Everyone looked at him with wide eyes.
Professor Sun thought for a long time in a daze, and muttered, "Oh, I'm going to go back and check the information to make sure!"
” After waiting for a long time to come out with such a sentence, everyone was very depressed, Ye Shaoyang said: "Go back and check again, you say first, what did you think of?"
” "It's not certain yet, it's just a guess......
Have you ever heard of Bon?
” Everyone shook their heads, completely unfamiliar with this term, only Fang Mona said: "Teacher Sun is talking about the Yongzhong sect in Tibet?"
” Professor Sun nodded approvingly, "Yongzhong's religion believes in the ancient Zhangxiong Buddhism, but this is a belief that was gradually formed after Buddhism entered Tibet and was absorbed by the primitive religion. ” Si Baoqi said: "What is Bon, why have I never heard of it?"
I only know Tibetan Buddhism, isn't that the traditional religion of Tibet?
” "There is still a inheritance of the Bon religion, but its influence is very small, it's normal that you haven't heard of it, Princess Wencheng, everyone knows it, right?"
Ye Shaoyang scratched his head and said, "Is it Wei Xiaobao who can marry that?"
” Sibao glanced at him and said, "What nonsense, Wei Xiaobao married that......
I forgot if it was Princess Taiping or who, anyway, it wasn't Princess Wencheng, Princess Wencheng, I know, the royal family who gave marriage to the Tibetan king Songtsen Gampo during the Tang Dynasty. ” Professor Sun said: "Yes, at that time Tibet was still called Tibet, Songtsen Gampo married Princess Wencheng, since then Tibet has been a vassal to the Tang Dynasty, learning Han culture, Buddhism also entered Tibet at this time, Tibetan Buddhism grew stronger and stronger, became the 'state religion' of Tibet, so that the local religion of Tibet has less and less sense of existence, and this is how Bon has declined."
On the other hand, some Tibetan religions such as Bon are also actively or passively absorbing elements of Buddhism, and today, the difference between Bon and other religions and Tibetan Buddhism is getting smaller and smaller, and in a sense, it has become a branch of Buddhism. ” Ye Shaoyang was not interested in the history of these religions, listening to what Professor Sun said so much, he was a little dazzled, the Four Treasures are monks, and he is much more serious when he listens to the history of Buddhism, he pondered for a while, and said, "Professor Sun thinks these disciples are Bon disciples?"
” "It should be a branch of Bon, even if it is not, it must be a branch of the rest of the small religions in Tibet, first, master, you have already concluded that they worship the Buddhist Emperor Shakti, and second, they are from Tibet, and if they meet these two conditions, it must be the native religion of Tibet represented by Bon."
Sibao thought about it, and also felt that this analysis was very reasonable, and asked casually: "I heard what you said is the Tao, and you seem to know the history of religion very well, why didn't you think of Bon before?"
” Professor Sun sighed: "This is my blind eye, I don't think about religion in Tibetan areas, I only think about Buddhism, and I do all kinds of research in Han areas......
Besides, my focus is all on figuring out the identity of this statue, which is a bit of a reversal of the cart.
As for the history of these religions, after all, I am an archaeologist, so I can't do it without a certain understanding of ancient culture. ” Sibao nodded, thinking that Lop Nur belonged to Xinjiang and not to Tibet, and it was understandable that Professor Sun did not pay attention to Tibet.
"I really didn't expect that the Sun Tomb would have something to do with the traditional religion in Tibet......
Thinking of this, Professor Sun couldn't help but get excited, and said in a trembling voice, "If this news is announced, it will definitely be an earthquake for the entire archaeological community, and I ......
Mr.
Ye, Master of the Four Treasures, Section Chief Cao, you will be a witness in the future, this shocking secret is my grandson......
No, it was discovered by all of us!
” Ye Shaoyang waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, no, you found it alone, we don't fight for this."
But Professor Sun, if you want to go back alive and well, let me arrange everything, and don't act on your own. ” Professor Sun is a typical scholar, who only has scientific research in his eyes, and only has a concept of the environment and intrigues and intrigues, and has no deep judgment at all, and he doesn't even want to understand.
After listening to Ye Shaoyang's words, he nodded vigorously.
Sibao said: "Merit or something, let's not fight with the old man, let's discuss the practical problem, whether those disciples are from Bon or not, they can come all the way here from Tibet, and live in this harsh environment for so long, just to protect the ancient tomb, that means that there must be something very important in this ancient tomb!"
” Ye Shaoyang nodded and said, "Didn't the Zikun Dao people say that their gods are buried in this ancient tomb."
Remembering a topic that he hadn't had time to talk about before, he asked, "It can't be the Emperor Shakti himself, right?"
” The corners of Sibao's mouth twitched, and he said, "Emperor Shakti Buddha......
This shouldn't be possible.
According to the records of the Buddhist scriptures, Shakti is the head of the twenty heavens and is the official deity of Buddhism......"
Ye Shaoyang interrupted him and said, "Don't talk about this, the legend of Asura is the guardian of the Shura Dao, and as a result, he also came to the world to join in the fun." ” "After listening to me, I don't believe in the idea of becoming a Buddha, but according to my opinion, since the Asura is in the immeasurable realm, after the emperor Shakti took refuge in Buddhism, maybe he should also be over there, and he should not be in the human world with the king of the earth."
Professor Sun interjected and said: "Let me interject, I don't understand what you said, but according to my previous archaeological experience, many religious gods are not really gods, this is the same at home and abroad, the Egyptians worship every pharaoh, and they all say that they are the sons of such and such a god, and the people are convinced of this, so they worship the pharaoh as a god."
This Emperor Shakti may also have a similar belief?
For example, a great patriarch was regarded by the people as the reincarnation of Shakti or a son......
After he died, he was buried here, and the parishioners felt that it was their duty to protect his mausoleum. ”
