Chapter 546
When Yang Jing saw these three tombs, he immediately realized why Yue Chengzi said on the inscription that some tombs had not been found yet.

Yang Jing reckoned that it wasn't that Yuechengzi didn't find these tombs, but that these tombs couldn't be opened at all.At least as far as the technology of that era is concerned, the fault is not to use manpower to excavate for many years, otherwise it is really impossible to solve the three dragon-breaking stones in a short period of time.

The dragon-breaking stones outside the three tombs are not as big as the movable dragon-breaking stone outside, but they are also two and a half meters thick. In terms of weight alone, it is definitely more than ten thousand catties.

Even Yang Jing, if he didn't use the storage space, he couldn't open the three dragon-breaking stones.

Here, using explosives to blow up the door, it is purely a rat who is acting as a bridesmaid for a cat and committing suicide!

But this discovery also made Yang Jing excited again. What does it mean that the dragon-breaking stone in the tomb was put down?It's very simple, it means that funerary objects have been placed in the three tombs, otherwise the dragon breaking stone would not have been put down.

Yang Jing stood in front of one of the tombs unceremoniously, and activated the storage space skill at the half-meter-thick Dragon-Breaking Stone in front of him. The next moment, the Dragon-Breaking Stone weighing more than ten thousand catties suddenly It disappeared without a sound, and a two-meter-square hole appeared on the rock wall that was originally tight, and the remaining part of the broken dragon stone that was stuck in the rock wall suddenly lost a large piece in the middle. support, and fell out of the rock wall one after another.

Yang Jing activated the storage space skill again, and put away the fallen stone bars. Immediately, the door of the tomb looked clean.It was as if there was no Dragon Breaking Stone here.

After nodding his head in satisfaction, Yang Jing walked in. Under the illumination of the light, a gorgeous golden light rushing towards him immediately made him squint his eyes involuntarily.

On the ground of a tomb of more than 20 square meters, there are all golden Buddha statues!

"My sister and sister, I'm going to send it now!"

Even though Yang Jing had obtained a lot of gold from several treasures, but now after seeing so many Buddha statues, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.

There are more than 100 Buddha statues in this tomb, ranging in size and size, and each Buddha statue has a different shape.

After pulling in the two battery lamps, the entire tomb immediately became much brighter.After Yang Jing carefully counted these Buddha statues of different shapes and sizes, he found that there were a total of [-] Buddha statues in this tomb.

The number one hundred and eight has a very important meaning in Buddhism.

Buddhism pays attention to the six roots, six dusts, and six entrances.The six roots are "eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind"; the six sense objects are "color, sound, smell, taste, touch, and dharma";

The sum of six sense organs, six objects, and six entrances is eighteen, and Buddhism also pays attention to the three times and inversions. In this way, eighteen times three times and inversions is exactly one hundred and eight.

Therefore, whether it is chanting Buddha or ringing the bell in Buddhism, one hundred and eight times are required, which means to recite all the six roots, six objects, and six entrances that are upside down in the three times.Sentient beings do not have six roots, six dusts, six entrances and inversions, so they will naturally become Buddhas!

Wu Zetian believed in Buddhism and was very devout, so it is not surprising that one hundred and eight Buddha statues appeared in her funeral objects.

In ancient China, there were two emperors who were particularly interesting, although they were not well reflected in folklore, but they were not badly evaluated in Buddhism. The first was Emperor Yang of Sui, and the second was Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian is known as the eternal emperor, not only because she is the first and only female emperor in Chinese history, but also because she has a deep connection with Buddhism.

According to legend, when the Buddha Sakyamuni was alive, one day he was begging for alms. On the road, he met a girl who was playing with a group of children on the road.The girl saw the Buddha leading his disciples coming in a file from afar, so she half-jokingly and half-seriously took a stick of soil and sand from the ground with both hands, walked up to the Buddha, and put the sand into the Buddha's bowl. Unexpectedly, the Buddha accepted it. provided her with sand and soil.

Shariputra, the Buddha's chief disciple, couldn't stand it anymore, and thought to himself: How can this girl be so reasonable, how can she make fun of the Buddha with sand and dirt.When they were on the road, he couldn't help asking the Buddha: "World Honored One, why did you accept the girl who put sand into your bowl just now?" The Buddha smiled and said, "You don't know, after thousands of years, this girl, If the karma is ripe and she wants to be king in the East Sindan Kingdom, if she does not make offerings to her with sand and soil at this time, she will destroy Buddhism. In this way, let her plant this good root karma, and when she becomes emperor in the future, she will protect Buddhism and promote Buddhism of."

The girl who put sand into the bowl in the story is the predecessor of Wu Zetian.And after Wu Zetian became emperor, he really played an indelible role in promoting and promoting Buddhism in China.

Wu Zetian's relationship with Buddhism is indeed very deep, and she even became a nun twice in her life.

The first time was before the age of 14, and the second time was forced.To be sure, being a nun for the first time had something to do with her parents' beliefs.Wu Zetian's mother, Mrs. Yang, was a strange woman in the Tang Dynasty. She was a descendant of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. Her father was Yang Da, the prime minister of the Sui Dynasty, and her uncle was Yang Xiong, the king of Guan. Believers, influenced by the family, so Mrs. Yang believes in Buddhism.It is also logical that Mrs. Yang passed such a belief to Wu Zetian.

As for becoming a nun for the second time, it is estimated that everyone in China knows the reason.After Wu Zetian entered the palace, she became a talented person of Tang Taizong.After the death of Emperor Taizong, according to the practice of the Tang Dynasty, she went to the Ganye Temple in the capital to become a nun.

Although it was forced to become a nun for the second time, the experience of being a nun twice made Wu Zetian and Buddhism even more indissoluble.

And when Wu Zetian defied the world and became emperor as a woman, she was even more inseparable from the support of Buddhism.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were three major theoretical systems that controlled people's thoughts, namely Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism.If Wu Zetian wanted to be emperor, he had to choose among these three. Traditional Confucian classics forbid women to participate in state affairs.For example, it is written in "Shangshu Mushi": "There is no morning for a rooster, and the morning for a hen is only the rope of the family." For example, it is written in "Pseudo-Confucius Biography": "The male generation of the male generation will end the family, and the woman will seize the family." State government leads to the death of the country.”

Taoism has a deep connection with the royal family of Li and Tang, and the royal family of the Tang Dynasty regarded the Taoist Lao Tzu as their ancestor, so the only ideological system that Wu Zetian could choose was Buddhism.

Wu Zetian used Buddhism because Buddhism has three advantages that can support Wu Zetian.First, the theory that all living beings are equal, the difference between men and women is not as strong as Confucianism; second, Buddhism cares about the human mind, so it is precisely the human mind that is controlled; third, Wu Zetian has a religious background as a nun.Similarly, Buddhism was squeezed by Taoism at the time, and it also needed to find a patron among high-level political decision-makers.Therefore, Buddhism helped Wu Zetian become emperor, and Buddhism also found a patron.

The relationship between Wu Zetian and Buddhism means mutual benefit and win-win!

Wu Zetian's association with Buddhism made Buddhism recognize her as the incarnation of a Bodhisattva. For Wu Zetian, it meant that she had found a powerful theoretical weapon that could not only help her establish her rule, but also help her stabilize her rule.
