Mention the Leifeng Pagoda, the most beautiful scenery is the "Leifeng Xizhao", people can't help but think of the amorous White Lady and Xu Xian's romantic encounter, and then the White Lady was pressed under the Leifeng Pagoda by the Fahai, and it was difficult to reunite with her family. But in fact, Leifeng Pagoda was built by King Qian Li of Wuyue Zhongyi to celebrate the worship of the Buddha's bun hair by his favorite concubine Huang Shi, so it was named "Imperial Concubine Pagoda".
The Leifeng Pagoda, which stood for a thousand years in 1924 and has gone through more than a dozen dynastic changes, collapsed violently, and it was not surprising until 2001 that the relevant state departments rebuilt the Leifeng Pagoda, allowing the controversial and mysterious white centipede to enter the public eye.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the rumored "white centipede"</h1>
After the collapse of Leifeng Pagoda, the beauty of Leifeng Xizhao is difficult to see, only the broken base of the tower remains, due to the next few decades of social unrest, Leifeng Pagoda has not been excavated and repaired opportunities, until 2001, the relevant state departments in line with the idea of reconstruction and archaeology go hand in hand, archaeologists carried out archaeological excavations of the Leifeng Pagoda Underground Palace.
The relics of the Buddha's true body enshrined by King Wuyue in historical records are the most precious treasures in this underground palace. With the progress of archaeology, the archaeologists discovered the secret of Leifeng Pagoda alone guarding the millennium, the opening of the millennium under the Leifeng Pagoda, the entrance of the underground palace is in the center of the bottom of the tower, and there is a large stone slab weighing about 750 kilograms at the mouth of the underground palace.
The well-known legend has put a mysterious veil on the Leifeng Pagoda, and at the bottom of the ancient tower, the underground palace with the entrance in the center of the tower has been found, what rare treasures will there be under this 750-kilogram stone slab?
Opening the stone slabs, a variety of offerings were found in the underground palace, a large number of Buddha statues, countless gold and silver hollow ornaments, thousands of "Kaiyuan Tongbao" ancient coins, many Tibetan scripture bricks, inscription bricks, but the most eye-catching in the whole excavation process, controversial is the mysterious iron letter about 50 centimeters high and about 90 centimeters long.
The delicate four-cornered hollow golden pagoda is hidden in the letter, and the four sides of the tower are carved with stories about the Buddha, and there is a ginza below the tower, and there are exquisite patterns on the ginza, and the words are engraved on all four sides.
Look into the hollow of the tower, and place the golden coffin inside,
But in fact, inside the golden coffin was not a white centipede at all, but the Bun hair of the Buddha enshrined by King Wu yue Zhongyi. The Buddha's bun, which has only been found twice, is precious.
The source of the white centipede is also unreliable, this incident has not been confirmed by experts at all, moreover, during the excavation process, the TV station made a full video, and no white centipede appeared during the opening of the coffin, all of which was just some boring people's unwarranted speculation.
In "The Legend of the White Snake", after Fahai pressed the White Lady under the Lei Feng Tower, there is a significant feature about the White Snake that is afraid of centipedes, and a centipede is deliberately placed to guard the town, in order to prevent the White Lady from escaping from the tower, and later the White Lady is rescued, and the White Centipede is left in the tower.
Therefore, the rumored white centipede only caters to folklore and satisfies people's curiosity and makes up and fabricates after-dinner gossip, and has no factual basis.
