35.Chapter 35
As soon as I heard it, I felt that something was wrong, so I quickly squinted and looked at the place where Hong Kaiyuan was standing, only to see a huge sculpture appear in the dust!
As the dust cleared, we finally got a good look at the sculpture. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The entire height of this sculpture is at least six or seven meters, and its base is also very large, three meters square, about one meter four or five high. Above the pedestal is the huge sculpture, about five meters high.
When I saw this sculpture, I was immediately shocked, it was actually an ugly and hideous monster!!
Dou Da's head was covered with a tuft of red messy hair, a wide lion nose, a pair of eyes the size of a rugby, a naked body, a body of muscles, a huge axe in his right hand, and a spear-like thing in his left hand, about a meter long. The reason why it is similar is because the front end of the thing is a bit like a lotus flower that has not yet bloomed, but it is more slender than a budding lotus flower. On the other hand, with such a huge body, that thing is actually more like a large brush!
The lower body of the sculpture is wrapped in a gray-green apron, and underneath the apron, a coiled snake tail coils around the part that joins the pedestal!!
"Isn't this the Great God of Gonggong?" Wen Jing beside him immediately shouted.
Because the sculpture in Hong Kaiyuanli was too close and his line of sight was limited, he walked back, looked up, and scolded: ", this time it's really a ghost!"
I was also shocked when I saw what was happening in front of me, and if I guessed correctly, this sculpture should be exactly the same as the one my grandmother described!!
The only thing that strikes me as strange is how there is a statue of Gonggong that is exactly as my grandmother described, and whether this temple is somehow connected to the dragon temple in the village, which has long since been in ruins.
Looking at this huge clay sculpture, I thought to myself, if only this thing could speak, and I would understand it all when I asked.
At this time, Hong Kaiyuan walked towards me while waving his hand to chase away the dust: ", it seems that Dong Shu really played a big game of chess back then!"
"The fat man is right, now I finally understand!" said Wen Jing beside him. "It turns out that the origin of the Panlong Cave changed to Gonggong Rock is actually here!"
Hearing this, Hong Kaiyuan and I looked at Wen Jing at the same time, both wanting to hear her opinion, but neither of them answered.
"Actually, when I saw the contents of the genealogy, I was very confused, because the whole thing described in it looked as if this Dong Shu was really doing a great deed that didn't need anything in return!" Wen Jing continued.
"Just like the fat man said at the beginning, since he has the heart to take out so much money to rebuild the village, why don't he use this money to help the surrounding villagers who have also been affected by the disaster! He is conclusive about doing good, and he should be treated equally? Even if the patriarch of the Qi family has the grace to know him, we can understand that he favors one over the other, but it seems that he didn't say so at all, because he only helped the Qi family!"
"This only shows one thing, he definitely has some unknown purpose in doing this, and it is definitely not just to repay the favor!"
"What's even more strange is that apart from the Qi family's establishment of a genealogy for him, Dong Shu has not received any benefits from beginning to end in this matter, and he doesn't care at all!"
"And the most striking thing about this is probably the big deal of rebuilding the village, and I thought at the time that this was the key to the whole thing!"
It is estimated that Hong Kaiyuan, like me, has already had results in his heart, so he has been doing his duty to be a good listener, and neither of them interjected.
"I finally understand it now. Speaking of this, Wen Jing sighed and continued: "He actually replicated a Gonggong Temple on the ground. But what is puzzling is what he did it for. “
After listening to Wen Jing's analysis, Hong Kaiyuan also sighed and said leisurely: "He's making a mark!"
Wen Jing's eyes widened, looking very puzzled: "Logo?!What logo?"
"Originally, I didn't expect this, it was the footprints of the two people we found when we first entered the cave that reminded me!" Hong Kaiyuan took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff, and continued: "Before this, Qin Hu and the Ji family must not know these things, they were all introduced by us, so don't think about it for the time being." ”
"It stands to reason that the stories and legends in this Panlong Cave are difficult for outsiders to know, and, judging from the description of the ancestors and the analysis of Lao Qi, it seems that even the Qi family does not know much about that legend, not to mention, the killing of the devil that happened later and Dong Shu are separated by hundreds of years, so the relevant information about this Gonggong Rock must not be known by an outsider! But just five or six years ago, there were two people here, and one died!"
I laughed and said, "What does that mean?"
Wen Jing was even more confused: "You mean, the two people who came here have some kind of connection with Dong Shu back then?"
Hong Kaiyuan was noncommittal and did not answer immediately.
Wen Jing frowned again and continued: "But what Dong Shu did happened hundreds of years ago, can this matter continue for so long?"
Hong Kaiyuan smiled faintly and said, "If this matter needs to be passed down from generation to generation, it can be explained!"
"No, what's important to last for hundreds of years?!" Wen Jing's face was so cute that she was almost dumbfounded.
"Actually, judging from the devils who died here, maybe this matter is really important!" Hong Kaiyuan took a deep breath of his cigarette.
Then, he sighed again and said: "Originally, from the content we saw in the genealogy, we only got the origin of the name Gonggongyan, and it seems that Dong Shu's performance back then was not intentional! But I think this is precisely the most important point, the more natural things look like, the less natural they are!"
"What does this have to do with your so-called 'logo'?" Wen Jing interjected.
Hong Kaiyuan smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry, you'll understand later!"
"If I'm not bad, the situation back then should have been like this: before Dong Shu came here, he should have secretly investigated some things about this place, and then chose Gonggongyan, his original purpose was probably to hide something. The results of the investigation showed that this cave was called Panlong Cave and had a certain relationship with the Qi family, but it is certain that he probably did not know the legend of the year, and he may not believe in this legend. So, he started his own plan!"
"He first found the robbers in the vicinity, bought them off with money, and asked them to do things for themselves, so what happened later -- the robbers not only robbed the village of all the food and materials, but also burned the entire village to the ground! Because robbers from ancient times to the present day would never do such a stupid thing of drying up and fishing in order to make a living! And the reason why Dong Shu did this was for only one purpose, that is, to rebuild!"
"And the purpose of reconstruction should be twofold, one is to cover people's eyes, because it takes a lot of materials to build this temple underground, and doing it alone will definitely attract the attention of outsiders, and if the action in the underground is consistent with the ground, a little disguise can be used to get by;
"And at the same time, he can also gain the respect of the entire Qi family, and only in this way can he build the village to the scale and pattern he wants according to his own wishes!" Hong Kaiyuan took another puff of his cigarette.
"Then, what he needs to protect or hide should be an extremely important thing!" Wen Jing also sighed, "Otherwise, no one would make such a big fuss and spare no money!"
Hong Kaiyuan nodded and continued: "When ordinary people hide some important objects, they usually make a map so as not to forget the hiding place. But Dong Shu didn't do it!"
"Why?" Wen Jingqi said.
