Even if the things unearthed in the grass temple are not as precious as the underground palace of Famen Temple, but seeing that Mr. Xu is full of confidence and plans to squander tens of millions of dollars to expand, he can deduce one or two from the subtle knowledge.

Things are definitely scarce and have the value of making headlines.

Bai Ye was also a little curious, he thought about it, and then considered: "Mr. Xu, in fact, I am not very proficient in the design of temples. ”

"The white artist is humble. ”

Mr. Xu immediately said: "That's it, there's no hurry about this, otherwise...... How about you have time, so let's go and investigate first?"

"Hmmm......"

Bai Ye tilted his head and asked, "What do you think?"

"Me?"

Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Go, in fact, after the work is shortlisted, I also plan to go to the Grand Canyon for a field trip." After all, the design of the work is not static, and it also needs to be adapted to local conditions. ”

"That's right. ”

Chen Daqi also agreed: "The environment of that place is good, and the pure natural scenery is beautiful. Let's go for two days, let's just travel and relax. ”

"That's right. ”

Mr. Xu smiled again: "The special car pick-up, the arrangement of food and lodging, and the whole reception, will definitely make you feel at home." ”

"Good. ”

Bai Ye was no longer hypocritical, and immediately agreed.

Everyone is a happy person, and after agreeing to this, Mr. Xu and Chen Ke left first. Bai Ye and the others packed their luggage, and everyone met again the next day.

After that, by plane, fly directly to your destination. It takes more than two hours by plane, plus more than an hour by car, to arrive at the place.

Strictly speaking, just to the periphery of the Grand Canyon. However, it can also be seen that huge excavators have begun to work.

Clearing rubble, leveling depressions, digging trenches to lay foundations......

Mountains of building materials, dozens of machinery, and hundreds of workers, a hot scene, very lively.

Seeing this scene, Bai Ye couldn't help but nod. It's good to start construction, at least it proves that this project has been put in place, and it is not a pretense to paint cakes to satisfy hunger.

"It's about building mountain villages, hotels, and all kinds of infrastructure. ”

Mr. Xu smiled and introduced: "According to the speed, at most by the middle of next year, the first phase of the project can be completed, and then open to the public." ”

"So fast. Bai Ye was a little surprised.

"It's slow. ”

Mr. Xu explained, "Time is money, and we need to be efficient in getting things done. What's more, many construction companies have templates for projects such as ladder plank roads, as long as the design plan comes out and the money is in place, people can start construction immediately. ”

"What's more, we didn't plan to become fat in one bite. It is completely possible to build one or two plank roads first, and then slowly improve the facilities while opening up and operating, and continue to bring more surprises to tourists. ”

Mr. Xu smiled and said, "In this way, tourists can also repeat the visit many times, so that they don't plan to come once and don't plan to come." Repeat customers are also important to us......"

Profiteer!

Bai Ye and the others scolded bitterly in their hearts.

However, it is also admitted that when it comes to budgeting, it is really a businessman's talent.

The road on the hill has not been completely repaired, there are only a few sheep intestine paths, winding and winding, leading in different directions.

Under the guidance of the guide, everyone climbed the mountain slowly, and after tossing for more than half an hour, they heard the sound of rushing water in front of them.

After walking a few steps, the mountain stream and stream are presented in front of everyone's eyes.

Near the stream, there was a camp. Some archaeological scenes that often appear on TV also come into view.

The lattice-like exploration is the main tone that everyone sees, with more than a dozen staff members, holding small brushes and shovels, carefully and attentively studying in the exploration.

"In fact, the archaeological work has entered the final stage. ”

Mr. Xu explained: "The local authorities have also made decisions on the disposal of the excavated items, some of which are collected in local museums, and some of which are ...... Just waiting for the temple to be completed, you can consider displaying it in the temple for tourists to enjoy. ”

"Why don't you all stay?" Chen Daqi was interested: "Don't build the temple at all, just build an exhibition hall, a memorial hall or something, it's even more compelling." ”

"That's different. ”

Mr. Xu smiled and didn't say anything more.

But everyone present still understands what should be understood. Exhibition halls, memorial halls, can you have religious beliefs to make money?

Not to mention anything else, a Shaolin Temple, if listed, has a market value of at least 100 billion.

See through it, don't say it.

Bai Ye changed the subject: "Is it convenient for us to go over now?"

He noticed that around the detective side, layers of cordons were set up, and signs were set up that idlers were not allowed to enter, plus a few security guards, and the guards were quite strict.

"It's okay, let's go. ”

Mr. Xu guided: "Let's look at the grass temple and don't disturb their work." ”

In the vicinity of the exploration party is a dilapidated building.

Bai Ye raised his eyes to observe and found that the pattern of the building was relatively traditional, and it belonged to the common earthen houses in the countryside.

The walls were made of mud mixed with straw, and the walls were watered layer by layer of plywood, and the roof was framed with beams, but instead of covering the tiles, it was covered with thatch.

It's no wonder that Mr. Xu said that this is a grass temple.

The temple has not yet been renovated, and it is full of dilapidated and gloomy atmosphere. In one corner of the temple, a small half of the wall had collapsed, but it had been cleaned up and stacked nearby.

Through the gap, the layout of the temple is clear at a glance.

It is basically a main hall, a wing room, and a utility room structure. The main hall is dedicated to the gods, the wing room is self-occupied, and the utility room may be a kitchen and bathroom.

Approaching the temple gate, Bai Ye looked up at the lintel, which was empty, with no plaque and no written explanation.

Looking at the inside of the temple again, the confession made of mud and stone is piled up, and a statue of the god with the upper body is broken, and it is difficult to identify what the confession is with only half of the waist and legs...... Jinni.

"This temple ......"

Chen Daqi asked curiously: "What kind of gods are offered, have the experts investigated it?"

"Mountain God. ”

Mr. Xu immediately said: "It's not a specific god, but a relatively extensive mountain god worship." Local folklore experts found useful clues from the local chronicles and reasonably deduced that this grass temple was specially built by the local people to worship the mountain gods. ”

"There is no way to determine how many years of worship have been carried out. But this mud wall and grass roof structure should be more than 200 years old. ”

Mr. Xu smiled: "But it is certain that this is definitely the result of later renovations. After all, the primitive worship of mountain gods in the local area often lasts for more than a thousand years. ”

This is true.

Bai Ye nodded slightly, agreeing with this point of view.

Not only thousands of years, but even thousands of years ago, the ancient tribal ancestors worshiped all natural phenomena, including mountains, water streams, stones, plants, animals and other scenes.

In ancient times, poisonous snakes and beasts ate people in the mountains. But it is normal for people to worship the mountain god and pray for safety and safety when they go up and down the mountain.
