Chapter 500
"Okay, let's go to the caves of the late Tang Dynasty."
Originally, the only one in Cave 72 of this trip has become a quick look...
"This grotto is a bit damaged, so it is generally closed. Only scientific research will allow you to come in. There are no lighting facilities. Moreover, strong flashlights are not allowed here, which will cause chemical changes in the pigments in these murals to fade, so let's just say some." Yang Yongnian was still very professional in some scientific research and handed over several low-power cold lights to Zhong Yue and Ji Wang.
Several people entered the grotto. In the three arched Buddha caves, there were three Buddhas on the middle and large sides, with eight-sided spires on the top. However, the murals on the surface were almost peeled off and almost nothing was seen.
"We don't step in here, just stand outside and look. The painted ground looks a bit."
Zhong Yue used cold lights to take photos of the ground. Although the drawings on the ground were well preserved, they all looked like a unified pattern, not painted on the pen.
"The damage here is so serious. I can't tell which Buddhas are worshipped here. As for this mural, it is even more difficult to think about what is painted."
"Systemly detected the rare mural "Futian Jingbian", is it included?"
Zhong Yue raised his eyebrows. Futian Sutra Change? He did not answer the systematic questions first, but instead spoke in a questioning tone and asked: "Does Master Jiwang know about the "Futian Sutra Change"?"
""Futian Sutra"? What do you mean, is the Futian Sutra here depicted?" This time, it was not Ji Wang who was talking, but Yang Yongnian behind him asked in a hurry.
Zhong Yue nodded.
"Can you confirm?"
Master Jiwang looked at Zhong Yue and reminded: "Qiushan, among these Mogao Grottoes, most of the murals depict the world of Buddha's kingdom with realistic techniques. Only a few murals with religious themes describe real life. Although these murals have their religious purposes, they are much more direct in understanding and describing reality than a large number of Pure Land Sutras, and have become the Futian Sutras."
Yang Yongnian also said seriously: "At present, there are only two "Futian Sutra Changes" in Cave 296 and Cave 302 in Mogao Grottoes, so if Mr. Qiu says it true, it is really a very important discovery!"
Ji Wang asked, "Is it possible to repair and restore the grotto?" Zhong Yue told Ji Wang that the grotto could be restored to the original appearance of the mural, but even Zhong Yue was not sure about this grotto because it was a mural depicting reality, so there was no scripture as a basis, and the damage was serious, which would inevitably increase the difficulty of repair.
"I'll give it a try."
Yang Yongnian said: "If you want to go in, bring your shoe covers. Since it is not open to tourists, there are no protection measures."
Zhong Yue nodded and said, "Okay."
He brought his shoes and went into the center of the cave. The Mo Yun world wandered through the cave. Zhong Yue's advantage over those painters or some cameras is that Mo Yun is his sensitive sense of touch, but it can still carry his consciousness. This is a feature that no camera has.
It is too broken. The murals here are much damaged than the previous grotto. Zhong Yue slowly attached the ink rhyme to the mural. However, except for some small figures of the painting walls that can be restored, some large areas of blank space cannot know what it is. Without the story line of the scriptures, and the Futian Sutra with practical significance is very few, making it even more difficult to capture the handwriting. Even Zhong Yue opened the ink rhyme under the world, there were no clues.
