Chapter 114: The Bodhisattva of the Organs
Hearing this number, the old village chief finally did not calm down. 200,000 is enough for them to build this temple by one or two grades, so it's not disrespectful to the gods, right?
In addition, there is still some left, and there is no need to pool money with the villagers, which may be enough for them to build a road to the outside. There are no roads, what a loss. Their village has suffered from this for generations.
Therefore, a long time ago, the old village chief proposed to build a road to get out. However, when everyone wants to make money, they all squeak and squeak, and they are not happy at all.
He also understood that the people in the village were really poor and crazy. There are a few families who are relatively wealthy and are willing to give more, but they can't solve the problem.
"Boss Yang, wait, I need to discuss it with the people in the village. "Indeed, although he is the head of the village, these important matters are to be discussed by everyone, especially the old people in the village.
"No problem, I'll just wait here! Yang Fan said.
The old village chief was no longer polite and left in a hurry. The temple was deserted, and only Xu Ping and Hu Wei were left.
Hu Wei couldn't help but ask at this time: "What's so special about this Bodhisattva?"
He really couldn't see it, it seemed to be just a bronze Bodhisattva, and the craftsmanship was not there. When you can get this guy to come up with 200,000, it's definitely not an ordinary object!
At this time, Yang Fan had already met the Bodhisattva. The village chief was present just now, and it was definitely inappropriate to run to move his hands and feet.
According to the Ming Mu Fu, this Bodhisattva is a rather mysterious Buddha in ancient times, with a hidden mechanism. Or rather, a puppet craft. That is, the robots that everyone is familiar with now.
Mechanism is the representative of ancient Chinese scientific and technological civilization, whether it is in production, life, military or even all needs, it can be seen. The use of mechanical power, skillful control of things, and achieve magical effects is the contribution of the ancients to the world. And this contribution comes from the profound observation and reflection of ancient craftsmen on nature.
Among the various mechanical devices, the mechanism is the most important part, it is small and secretive, but it "moves the whole body", controls the overall movement trend, and is the supreme embodiment of human wisdom and creativity.
Yang Fan moved the palm of one of his hands, which was an eye, and pressed that eyeball into it.
At this time, everyone heard a "click", as if the machine was about to start.
"Huh!" Hu Wei was shocked again, only to find that the eyes of that hand could actually move, not a whole with the palm, like a component.
The surprise was still to come, and under Xu Ping's round eyes, all the hands of the Bodhisattva turned around, and for a while, it was really the same as the thousand-armed Guanyin who performed the show.
"Damn!" Hu Wei couldn't help but burst into foul language in front of the Bodhisattva.
I didn't even notice it just now, there are still some small seams on the copper body, which are so small that it is difficult to see with the naked eye. And it's the two little slits that separate the hands from the rest of the hands, and the whole piece rotates along the gap.
He hated it so much that he beat his chest and stomped up, too careless.
In such a small bronze statue, it is very difficult to install a mechanism, and it is also troublesome to put together, and the process inside must be very complicated, so this item is precious.
"Is this considered a chain?" Xu Ping was also dumbfounded.
In the past, the mechanical watch stopped, and the thing that could be screwed on the chain was similar to refueling.
You can understand that too. I just saw a flaw in the eye of that palm, but I haven't noticed anything else. Yang Fan also found it interesting.
Tricks are very famous in ancient times, and the most mysterious of them is the work of the craftsman master Lu Ban, a bird made of wood, which is said to be able to fly for three days and three nights.
Of course, this must be an exaggeration. But this was an absolutely incredible thing in ancient times.
In addition, there is also the wooden ox flowing horse made by Zhuge Liang, a wooden ox and trojan horse that can transport items without eating food, which is definitely very sci-fi. In the past, Europeans would definitely think it was a monster when they saw it.
I think that at the beginning, the Yuan Dynasty attacked all the way to Finland, and those Europeans were so frightened when they saw the artillery, thinking that it was a demon.
Zhuge Liang was an expert in mechanical engineering, and his wife Huang was also an inventor, and there is an interesting story in folklore that she invented a wooden man that could be used to push the grinder, and as long as the mechanism was activated, the wooden man tirelessly pushed the stone mill. If the legend is true, then this wooden man became the first robot in human history.
This is the civilization of the ancient Chinese country, and it is also the crystallization of the wisdom of our ancestors, and it is our pride. The ancients created many magical objects. It is a pity that the ideology of the ancients is not good, resulting in many exquisite technologies being wiped out in the long river of history.
"It's a trick. Hu Wei swallowed.
It's not that he hasn't seen ancient tricks, and in the Forbidden City Museum, he has seen two hidden tricks. But compared to this organ Bodhisattva, it's just rotten to the scum.
"I don't know if it's the handwriting of the Mo family. Hu Wei continued.
In ancient times, the representative of the mechanism technique was the Mo family, a group of people who were perverted to the extreme. It is because of them that the destructive power of ancient wars has increased by an unknown number of times, and how many people have died in the disturbing wars.
Yang Fan found that as that eye slowly recovered, those hands of the Thousand-Armed Guanyin gradually calmed down. In the end, with a click, the entire Thousand-Armed Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva returned to its previous state, as if nothing had happened.
"Good stuff, really good stuff. It's unreasonable! It's you guy who picks up a big bargain every time. "Hu Wei is a little uncomfortable.
After a while, the old village chief led more than a dozen old people over.
"We have all discussed, since Boss Yang is so sincere, this Bodhisattva will let you take it back to worship. Wait a minute, we'll ask someone to do a ritual and send this bodhisattva out. The old village chief spoke.
"That's very good. Yang Fan asked Xu Ping to take out the cash and donate it to the temple on the spot.
The villagers were all overjoyed, and the village chief said the same. The temple will be built better, and a road will be considered to go outside, which can be taken by tractor. In the past, it was convenient for them to travel, and it would be much easier and faster to pull out any crops to sell.
These two projects, which are beneficial to both of them, do not need to raise money except for some efforts, and if there is any, they can donate a little to do a good job.
It was in this way that almost all the people in the village agreed to send the Bodhisattva away.
With the items in hand, Yang Fan and the others said goodbye one after another. The villagers were very helpful in carrying the items to the road outside the village.
