Chapter 56O Puzzle solving

What does it mean to be sleepy and want to eat hail under the ice...... Zheng Zheng was still thinking about how to lead this sentence over, but he didn't think that the old man would pull the conversation over by himself.

The old men who also received Zheng Zheng's cigarettes on the side also echoed: "Well, there are no mountain specialties, but antiques were produced a few years ago, and many people have built buildings." ”

"And the car buyers. ”

"Hmm...... Didn't the second pillar in the east of the village build a house and buy a car?"

"He's selling antiques, isn't he?"

"I heard so...... I heard that it was, but I don't know what it is. ”

Seeing that this was about to become a symposium between the old men, Zheng Zheng hurriedly interjected: "Antiques?

An old man said, "Yes, there is...... But now it's gone. At that time......"

Speaking of this, the old man paused for a moment, and then turned to the others and asked, "What kind of antiques are those antiques?

"Song Dynasty, Song Dynasty...... What came out were all things from the Song Dynasty. ”

"There are a lot of things in the Tang Dynasty......"

Zheng Zheng looked at this state, and said in his heart, although he is a little bit of finding the right person now, but judging from the talk of this group of old men, it will take a lot of time for him......

After chatting with these old men here for almost two hours, Zheng Zheng finally sorted out the general situation. In the early years of this village, a lot of antiques were discovered, and then the villagers divided the antiques, and later sold them. Because this matter has been going on for a long time, the impact is not very great, so the local government has not asked much. Later, some people came to the local area, went to the field where there were a lot of antiques and looked at it for a few days, and then they went home, and there was no follow-up.

Continuing to ask this topic, Zheng Zheng asked if there was any Guan Yu temple or anything near here, or if there was anything like a shrine dedicated to Guan Yu's statue built in the early years. The old people in these villages are completely unaware of this. According to their words, they have not heard of any related Yu Temple in this vicinity, nor have they enshrined anything like the shrine of Guan Yu Temple, but the mountain next to this village has a nickname, called Monkey Mountain, which seems to have been dedicated to the Monkey King a long time ago. But later, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Monkey King Temple was smashed and was not rebuilt.

According to these old men, the temple of Sun Dasheng was located at the mountain pass into the mountain. However, there is no temple in that place now, and at most there are some stone statues that are inconvenient to move and so on.

Originally, Zheng Zheng wanted to inquire about Guan Gong Temple, but he didn't think about it, but he inquired about a Sun Dasheng Temple, and the difference between them was too big. If you say it, there will be nothing to do with the two, but they are all here, and Zheng Zheng also wants to go over and take a look.

The reason why I wanted to go over and take a look was because Zheng Zheng was quite curious. City God Temple, Guanyin Temple, Land Temple and the like are more common, such as Sun Dasheng Temple, Zheng Zheng really hasn't seen it yet. Although Sun Wukong has always been a beloved mythical figure, few people regard Sun Wukong as a genuine immortal temple to worship......

This is a bit abnormal, and it is precisely because of such an abnormality that Zheng Zheng wants to go over and take a look. Maybe there's something else to be found here.

Out of the village, following the direction pointed by the old men in the village, Zheng Zheng and Wang Di really found a few stone statues at the mountain pass into the mountain. Those stone statues are quite large, but the carvings are not exquisite, and with the erosion of wind and rain over time, these stone lions are no longer visible. It's no wonder that no one has moved these stone statues here, pull them back, this is not only heavy enough to choke but also useless, why bother with this effort.

These stone statues are all on the edge of the mountain, and near the stone statues is the mountain wall. On the mountain wall, there is an artificially carved arched stone cave, with a height of one person and a depth of two feet.

"What are you doing digging such a cave in this stone wall? It's only about two feet deep, and you can't avoid the rain when you go in. ”

Walking in front of those stone statues, Wang Di found this shallow stone cave. He looked left and right, but he didn't understand what it was for.

Zheng Zheng looked at the distance between the stone statues and the mountain wall, then squatted down and looked at the stone cave for a while, and said, "Didn't the old man in the village say that this was a temple of Sun Dasheng? This two-foot cave is no longer good for shelter from the rain, but it is no problem to use it for worship statues. ”

As he spoke, Zheng Zheng pointed to the top of the mountain wall, and then pointed to the surroundings, and said, "The surrounding environment is not suitable for building a temple, and the only place suitable for building a temple is this place." The purpose of digging out such a hole is to protect the idol from a falling rock on the top of this hill and then smashing the statue of the god. ”

Wang Di looked at it again and said, "It sounds a little interesting...... But what does it mean to build a temple of the Monkey King here? I remember that the Monkey King seems to be fighting to defeat the Buddha, and he is still in charge of the affairs of the mountain? Generally speaking, it is reasonable to build a temple of the Monkey King. ”

Zheng Zheng shook his head and said, "It's hard to say this, if you really let me say it, I can't say it." But if I had to guess a random reason, I would be able to guess one...... There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is the king, which is an old saying, maybe this is what the villagers look forward to when they enter the mountain? I hope that there are no tigers in the mountains, and the most fierce one is a monkey, which is also a good vision. ”

"Hey...... There are no tigers and monkeys in the mountains to dominate the king......" Wang Di heard Zheng Zheng say this, and was happy: "It's a shame that you kid thought of it, according to what you said, this is really a little interesting." ”

Zheng Zheng smiled, stood up and walked to the side of the car: "Let's go, take a look at another place." ”

"Why don't you go into the mountains to have a look? I'm still wondering if you're going to go into the mountains. Wang Di said.

Zheng Zheng nodded, shook his head again, and said, "If you want to talk about ideas, there is indeed such an idea, after all, the thing I am looking for may not be where to go." But this mountain is not small...... The two of us went in and wandered around for two hours, and it was basically impossible to find anything. Now let's go to the nearby village and continue to ask, and when we have time to go back, we will talk about whether to enter the mountain or not. ”

Now that Carter is coming, Zheng Zheng doesn't know what news Carter is going to bring. Zheng Zheng now just wants to visit the villages he has identified on the map, and as for the in-depth investigation, it will have to wait until Carter's discovery is known. Now, instead of stumbling around in the mountains, it's better to walk through the easy places first.

By nearly five o'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Zheng and Wang Di had already visited the villages that Zheng Zheng had selected nearby and met the requirements. From this preliminary investigation, Zheng Zheng did not find any news that had anything to do with Guan Yuxiang. However, Zheng Zheng is not discouraged, these villages are just a part of Zheng Zheng's carving out, and there are other villages that he has not visited.

After shopping around this day, the time was not early, Zheng Zheng and Wang Di were ready to go home. Halfway through, Bai Xiaoxue called, saying that Carter had just called and that she had already gotten off the plane.

After calculating the time, Zheng Zheng asked Bai Xiaoxue and Wang Di's girlfriend to pick up Carter together, this girl is not familiar with the key language and does not understand the key language, and she doesn't know how long it will take to find the place by herself.

After explaining it here, Zheng Zheng made a phone call with the hotel and booked a small conference room in the hotel. Carter should not have the habit of talking about business at the dinner table, and Zheng Zheng can't help but take care of foreign friends.

When Zheng Zheng and Wang Di returned to the hotel, Bai Xiaoxue also happened to pick up Carter from the airport. There was no time to eat and drink, so Zheng Zheng directly invited Carter to the conference room.

Bai Xiaoxue went to eat and rest with Wang Di's girlfriend, while Zheng Zheng, Wang Di and Carter sat in the conference room.

After briefly introducing the two, Zheng Zheng said to Carter: "Miss Carter, you said on the phone that you made a new discovery, so what did you find?"

Carter took out a notebook from his bag, flipped it open, took out a few pieces of paper sandwiched in the middle from the notebook, and handed it to Zheng Zheng: "This is what I found when I was cleaning up my grandfather's room, and I was holding it in one of his books. It looks like a map. Based on the above account, I think this is the record left by my grandfather at that time. ”

Zheng Zheng took the loose paper and looked at the edges of the loose paper. One side of it was jagged and looked like it should have been torn from a notebook. And the corners are a little hairy, and it looks like they've been torn off for some years.

One of the loose sheets of paper was drawing a map with a pen, and it was clear that the person who drew the map was not professional, but only a rough sketch. Judging from the map, it should be a small village leaning against a mountain. On the side of the mountain, the author of the drawing made a mark with a triangle. Following this triangle into the mountains, the author of this map drew another circle in the mountains, as if to indicate an important location.

From the map, the triangle on the side of the mountain and the circle in the mountain are in a straight line. Looking at this meaning, this triangle seems to be a path or passage, and only by finding this can you find the point marked in the mountain.

Zheng Zheng looked at the map, then put it aside and looked at the text description on the other loose paper. Wang Di on the side was curious, and took the hand-drawn map and looked at it.

The text on those loose pieces of paper is not very clear and precise, to the effect that I have found an important thing, but because of the constraints of the situation, I can't take these things away, so I can only leave a mark to mark it, and come back when I have the opportunity later.

Zheng Zheng was looking at these text descriptions, and Wang Di on the side suddenly said, "No...... This place on this map, we've been there during the day today, right?"
