Chapter 745 Sangxiang Buddha House

"Brother, where is this place?"

After hearing Peng Bin's words, Fang Yi couldn't help asking. At this time, the sun had risen and the world had returned to its previous colors, but the building in the distance could be seen more clearly. The strong Buddhist style really made Fang Yi think that he had come to the country of Buddhism.

"Fang Yi, have you heard of Angkor Wat?" Looking at the buildings in the distance, Peng Bin said, "This is Angkor Wat. It is the largest temple building in the world and a national treasure of Cambodia!"

"Angkor Wat?" Fang Yi shook his head when he heard this and said, "I haven't heard of it, is it very famous?"

To be honest, although Fang Yi is extremely intelligent and knowledgeable, he was still a Taoist priest who had not been down the mountain for half a year ago. He had not mastered all the geographical and historical knowledge of his country, so how could he know foreign scenic spots and historical sites?

"No, of course it's famous. The first place in the world that was rated as a cultural heritage is like the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, the Great Wall of China, and is one of the eight wonders of the world..."

Peng Bin seemed to be incomprehensible to Fang Yi's name, because Angkor Wat is so famous. It is not only the largest Buddhist temple in the world, but also the earliest Gothic building in the world.

Peng Bin naturally didn't know what Gothic architecture was, but he had been to Angkor Wat before and heard a tour guide introduce that such towering spires like stupas are some buildings, collectively called Gothic architecture. Originally, this kind of architecture was believed to have originated in France.

However, after research, the Gothic architecture of Angkor Wat is the earliest in the world. Experts and even reasoning that France, Italy and other Gothic architectures in the world all adopt the architectural style of Angkor Wat, and this is the origin of the real Gothic architecture.

Hearing that Angkor Wat is so famous, Fang Yi couldn't help but recall the Buddhist scriptures he had read in his mind. Suddenly, Fang Yi's eyes lit up, he pointed his finger at the building in the distance, and said, "I remember, this... this Angkor Wat should not be called the Sangxiang Buddha House, right?"

"Sangxiang Buddha House? What is that place? I have never heard of it." Peng Bin shook his head when he heard this. He only knew that this place was Angkor Wat, and as for the fact that he didn't have another name, Peng Bin didn't know it.

"It must be the Sangxiang Buddha House, but I didn't expect it to appear again..."

Looking at the buildings in the distance, Fang Yi showed a look of surprise on his face. After comparing the records of the Sangxiang Buddha House in his mind, Fang Yi could be sure that this is the mysterious place with many records in Buddhist scriptures.

In some Buddhist scriptures that Fang Yi spent, it is recorded that in the Angkor dynasty era adjacent to the land of China, there was a Buddhist building that shocked the world. However, in those scriptures, this building was not called Angkor Wat, but was called the Sangxiang Buddha House.

As for why it is called the Sangxiang Buddha House, it is not stated in the scriptures, but it is called the holy land of Buddhism, with an incredible magical place. It is said that the believers who practice here are the most likely to achieve Buddha body.

However, in the Buddhist scriptures below, the Sangxiang Buddha House suddenly disappeared. No one knows why. For thousands of years, the Sangxiang Buddha House has never appeared in front of the world, so Fang Yi did not associate it with the Angkor Wat in front of him.

"Brother, when did the Sangxiang Buddha House appear?" Fang Yi turned to look at Peng Bin. He had read too many praises about this temple in some Buddhist scriptures. Unexpectedly, this place was where Luang Prado was born.

"Don't you not know Angkor Wat? How do you know that this place has disappeared?" Peng Bin asked curiously.

"The way we read this place in China is different from what you said. Brother, when did it appear again?"

Fang Yi explained to Peng Bin the name of Angkor Wat in Buddhism. In fact, in those scriptures, there is another name for Angkor Wat, which is "Vishnu's Temple", which means the place where the gods live. In some ancient Indian scriptures, the Buddha was also called a god.

"I don't know very well when Angkor Wat appeared. It should be about a hundred years, right?"

Although Peng Bin heard the tour guide introduce it when he came to Angkor Wat before, he was not very interested in these things. He basically went in and out of the left ear, and could only remember a rough era and the legends about Angkor Wat.

According to the tour guide, Angkor Wat was a building that shocked the world during the Angkor Dynasty. However, in the early 15th century, people suddenly went to the city.

In the following centuries, the Angkor area became a forest and wasteland with trees and weeds. No one ever entered this area again. Only the once glorious ancient city was hidden in it. Until this ruin was discovered, even the residents living in Cambodia not far from here knew nothing about it.

In theory, the culture of any nation should have its continuity and development. What's more, Angkor is a dynasty that has flourished for 600 years. It is no less than any ancient civilization in the world. However, the culture of the Angkor dynasty suddenly stopped and suddenly disappeared into the long river of history, and there were no signs before.

Some people attribute this to the invasion of foreign enemies, but the invasion of foreign enemies may lead to the change of dynasties, but how can the people of a nation disappear?

Many well-known archaeological experts and historians in the world have visited Angkor Wat. According to their research, there were more than one million people living in the Angkor area in the past. Where did this nation and these people go? Since the emergence of Angkor Wat, this has always been an unsolvable mystery in the world's scientific research community.

"Hey, it's not right. According to what I know, the place where Luang Prato was born should be very remote..."

Peng Bin suddenly frowned because he thought of many rumors about Luang Putuo. It was rumored that Luang Putuo was born in a very remote village. In this way, it was somewhat incompatible with Angkor Wat, because a thousand years ago, it was in the most glorious and prosperous era.

"Eight out of ten things on historical materials are inaccurate."

When Fang Yi heard Peng Bin's words, he was a little dissatisfied. In the Taoist classics in China, there were many mythical characters appearing, which were not very consistent with the actual situation. Just like the specific time when Lao Tzu took a ox to travel west to Han Pass, no one could accurately verify it.

The record of Lao Tzu in Cihai says that Lao Tzu's thinker and founder of Taoism during the Spring and Autumn Period should be the same as Confucius, but in Taoist scriptures, Lao Tzu, the ancestor of Taoism, was an ancient person, and the era between the two is incomparable.

Therefore, Fang Yi has always been disdainful of historical records, because no one knows what happened before. As for the so-called written records, they are all written by people, and no one knows whether what they wrote is true or false, and how much credible it is.

"According to you, Luang Putuo's life may have been earlier than Angkor Wat..." Peng Bin listened to Fang Yi's story with relish. He has been studying Luang Putuo's life for a while, so he can understand all the things that Fang Yi said.

"The things recorded in Buddhist scriptures are very different from those recorded in historical books. I think some things that are difficult to explain may have happened in those eras."

Fang Yi sighed in his heart. He had never seen ancient times recorded in a few Taoist books in human history. At best, he used some deification stories such as Nuwa repairing the sky to cover up the past. No one knew what really happened in that era.

"Fang Yi, do you think the disappearance of those people in Angkor Wat will all enter the mysterious space?"

Peng Bin suddenly had an idea in his mind, "Millions of people disappeared together, it was absolutely impossible to cause war, because even if one million pigs were queuing up in line for people to kill, it was impossible to kill them clean during the cold weapon period. What's more, there was no trace of the damage to the Angkor Wat buildings. Yes, those people must have entered the mysterious space, even if Luang Putuo had entered the space..."

"Brother, I don't know this..." Looking at Peng Bin's excited look, Fang Yi poured him a basin of cold water, "Brother, even if those people enter the mysterious space, we may not be able to get in..."

"Why? Millions of people have entered, why can't we get in?!" Peng Bin interrupted Fang Yi's words in dissatisfaction.

"Brother, how many years has this Angkor Wat reappeared?" Fang Yi asked.

"What's wrong with it for a hundred years?" Peng Bin replied angrily.

"So has anyone disappeared in Angkor Wat in the past hundred years?"

Fang Yi's question made Peng Bin dumbfounded. Not to mention that although Cambodia's country was a little turbulent due to the civil war in the early years and many people died, Peng Bin really had no news about tourists dying or disappearing in Angkor Wat.

"Brother, do you think no one has ever entered the space again for more than a hundred years. Can we go in?"

Seeing Peng Bin's depressed look, Fang Yi couldn't help but laugh. He always put the worst results in his work, so even if he couldn't find that mysterious space, Fang Yi would not be as worried as Peng Bin.

"That's hard to say. Maybe your elder brother, I have a good character and I will go in as soon as I come..."

Peng Bin said dissatisfiedly, but the more he spoke, the less he sounded. Peng Bin had been to Angkor Wat before, and Peng Bin, who had almost traveled all over Angkor Wat, had never entered any mysterious space.

"I said brother, can't you say something inspiring? Young people should have fighting spirit!"

Peng Bin patted Fang Yi on the shoulder with anger and said, "This time we are here for a while. Grandma, I just measured Angkor Wat inch by inch and found the space that Luang Po Tuo had been there. Why can that old guy enter? We two can't get in!"

"Brother said, you can definitely find it!" Fang Yi laughed and said as Peng Bin said, but the expression on his face was obviously perfunctory, which made Peng Bin's face look even more ugly.

"The last time I went to Angkor Wat, and I didn't go to another place. We will bring the entire Angkor area to you this time..."

Peng Bin really made a ruthless move this time. You must know that in the thousands of years since the Angkor Dynasty disappeared, the original Angkor dynasty had been covered by forests. Now the cleared Angkor Wat and the former dynasty sites are only a small part. No one knows how many Angkor ruins exist in the forest and green vines.

"Okay, let's find it here..."

Fang Yi did not say sarcastic words this time, because since Fang Yi came here, he felt indescribable. This Angkor Wat might really have something to do with the ancient times, and both disappeared so thoroughly.

"Let's go, I'll take you to Angkor Wat first, let's go to the main entrance to buy tickets..." Peng Bin could not bear it anymore. He wanted to enter Angkor Wat now to search for the footsteps of his predecessors and find that mysterious space.

"Wait, let me see the whole picture of Angkor Wat..."

Fang Yi waved his hand, and before Peng Bin could answer, he turned around and ran back to the jungle, and selected a tree that was more than 40 meters tall, and climbed up with his hands and feet.

"There is no trace of formation, it's a bit like the arrangement of an ancient imperial palace..."

Standing at the top of the tree canopy, Fang Yi could clearly see the entire Angkor Wat building. He found that the entire Angkor Wat was square, surrounded by a small lake, which looked similar to the domestic moat. There were only two roads around it to Angkor Wat in the middle of the lake.

Standing on the big tree, Fang Yi not only saw the whole picture of Angkor Wat, but also saw some monks living in Angkor Wat. These monks got up early in the morning to clean up, and the melodious bells also came from Angkor Wat.

In this paradise, listening to the bells in the temple, Fang Yi felt extremely quiet in his heart. In Fang Yi's opinion, even if he couldn't find Luang Putuo's martial arts and that mysterious space, his trip would be considered worthwhile.

After descending from the big tree, Fang Yi couldn't help but sigh that a city, tens of thousands of Buddhist temples, suddenly it had been a thousand years in the blink of an eye. This profound foundation accumulated by history even made Fang Yi feel a little confused in his heart, for fear that his unintentional behavior would desecrate this thousand-year-old temple.

"Okay, don't remember the ancients there. Let's go inside and take a look..."

Peng Bin pulled Fang Yi to Angkor Wat in the distance. As the saying goes, "Looking at the mountain and running to death, they are still one or two kilometers away from Angkor Wat, and it will take more than ten minutes to walk over.
