One thousand two hundred and fifty-one
Qiu Shaofeng quietly listened to Ding Yi finish the story of Leifeng Pagoda.
The myths and legends can be ignored, but the historical origin of Leifeng Pagoda is worth noting.
Leifeng Pagoda, also known as the Imperial Concubine Pagoda, has the earliest history dating back to the Five Dynasties period, and was later changed to Leifeng Pagoda in the Han Dynasty.
Such a long history, even for people in the 21st century, it is very deep, not to mention now, if Ding Yi doesn't say it, he doesn't even know when the Five Dynasties and the Han Dynasty are.
Such a long history, this tower has not collapsed, even if the world has renovated several times during the period, but it is enough to prove that this tower is special, not to mention that the evidence is now in front of you, in the case of no one to repair, this tower can be relatively well preserved and still standing, which is enough to impress them.
"According to legend, there is a snake demon suppressed under the Leifeng Tower, not to mention the authenticity of this legend, just now it can be preserved to this day is enough to prove its extraordinary. I don't think we should stop and explore," Tiny suggested.
Qiu Shaofeng smiled, "I don't need to remind me, my father and they will definitely do the same", after all, it is rare to come across a relatively well-preserved building, even if my father doesn't say it, those scientific expeditioners will not let it go.
Sure enough, as soon as Qiu Shaofeng's words fell, the scientific expedition personnel over there discussed a few words with Qiu's father and Marshal Zhou and flew straight to Leifeng Tower.
Father Qiu and Marshal Zhou immediately arranged for several teams of people to follow to protect them, while the others were on guard around.
Although it seems that there is no danger around, but be cautious when sailing a ship for ten thousand years, for the sake of caution, it is not too cautious to be in a strange place.
Ding Yi pointed to the edge of the depression at this time, and said: "Since Leifeng Pagoda has appeared, then this is undoubtedly West Lake, the edge of West Lake used to be a prosperous area, and you may be able to dig more valuable things over there." ”
Qiu Shaofeng nodded, and relayed this to Qiu's father, of course, the reason was naturally not the reason that Ding Yi said, but just a casual reason why he found ruins on the edge of the hollow.
After receiving the message, Qiu's father sent another team of personnel to explore the hollow shore.
Everyone got busy.
With such a big discovery here, the team was naturally in no hurry to get there.
Marshal Zhou simply let the team camp in the same place, preparing to stay here for two days.
Ding Yi and Qiu Shaofeng also got off the mecha and helped set up the camp, and when it was almost time, they re-mounted the mecha and went to Leifeng Tower.
When she first saw Leifeng Tower, Ding Yi was indeed a little excited, but she was worried that because she was too familiar with Leifeng Tower, she couldn't help but call out the name when she saw familiar things when she was unprepared, which would arouse the suspicion of others, so she finally decided to calm down her thoughts first, and set up the camp with Qiu Shaofeng before rushing to Leifeng Tower.
Leifeng Pagoda has a total of seven floors, octagonal pavilion type, these are the most intuitive appearance design.
But for Ding Yi, this tower is obviously not the Leifeng Pagoda she is familiar with.
As an authentic Hangzhou person, although he has not lived on the edge of the West Lake since he was a child, he has come to the West Lake a lot of times, and the family conditions are also good, so he has many opportunities to visit here all the year round, and he is very familiar with the architecture of Leifeng Tower.
The Leifeng Pagoda in my memory is only about fifty meters, but the height of the tower in front of me is obviously more than fifty meters, and it should be about sixty meters.
And not only the height of the tower is different, but the floor area is also half larger than the original.
In addition, the materials used to build the tower were obviously different from the materials she remembered.
All of a sudden, Ding Yi guessed that this tower might have been remodeled in later generations.
Seeing this, Ding Yi's eyes inevitably flashed with gloomy.
However, he quickly adjusted his mood and understood that now is not the time to think about this, and the most important thing now is to understand why this tower has been standing for nearly 10,000 years without falling.
Several impatient scientific expedition personnel had already entered the tower.
Because of the fear of destroying the original state of the tower, there are less than five people who enter the tower, and these five scientific expedition personnel are all experienced and cautious personnel.
This toss took almost an hour.
An hour later, it was confirmed that the tower was not as fragile as it looked, and that it would not collapse in a short time as long as it was not vigorously damaged.
Qiu Shaofeng and Ding Yi walked at the back of the crowd.
Qiu Shaofeng took Ding Yi's hand, and the two walked into the Leifeng Tower, and the first thing they saw was a gilded stone statue.
This is a statue of the Buddha, nearly two meters tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a face full of compassion, twisting beads in one hand and a bowl in the other.
After seeing the statue's appearance, Ding Yi thought of Fahai almost instantly.
In the story of the White Snake, the magic weapon used by Fahai is not a vajra bowl!
In addition, this is the Leifeng Pagoda, and it is understandable to worship Fahai.
What made Ding Yi more emotional was that the Leifeng Pagoda in his previous life did not enshrine any Fahai or Buddha.
Although the Leifeng Pagoda in the previous life was also influenced by the legend of the White Snake, it was full of many elements of the legend of the White Snake, and there were many related stone engravings and the like, but because of the underground palace that was exposed after the collapse of the Leifeng Tower, there were also a lot of related historical relics on display inside, and it also allowed many people to understand the more real history of the Leifeng Tower.
However, the Leifeng Pagoda she saw now was obviously a bit of a cart before the horse.
Enshrine a character in a folk mythological story, and it is in such a famous tower, Ding Yizhen doesn't know what kind of mood to face it, say sad, can't say, say sigh, and can only be described by things and people.
However, Ding Yi quickly gathered his mood and carefully observed the situation in the entire tower.
They are still only on the first floor of the tower, and the second floor and above have not been cleared out, so it is estimated that they will have to wait for several hours.
However, there is also a lot of gain from the first floor.
In addition to the statue of Fahai in the center, many stone engravings and some scattered cultural relics were also found.
These artifacts needed to be cleaned carefully, so Ding Yi didn't look at them first, but walked over to the stone engravings and carefully identified the contents of the engravings.
After reading for about a quarter of an hour, Ding Yi roughly read all the lithographs and roughly understood the meaning of the prints.
Unlike the prints she remembered, the contents of these stone engravings made her even more confused.
