Chapter 662: Qinghe Giant Buddha

……

West Iron Arm Mountain, for Wang Zheng, who grew up in Wangjiawan, is naturally very familiar. But at this moment, the original towering, rocky, lush vegetation, near the top of the Qinghe River, has completely changed its appearance.

An artificial trapezoidal valley with a width of more than 100 meters, a depth of nearly 150 meters, a flat bottom, and a height of about 30 meters on the innermost side replaces the original uneven cliff top.

In the grand valley, hundreds of workers are busy working with various tools in their hands, forklifts, bulldozers and other engineering equipment. As they loaded trucks of earth and rock, the large valley, which was the size of two football fields, was still getting deeper and deeper.

"What's going on?"

After looking up and down the entire valley, Wang Zheng pointed to the tower crane next to him that had stopped working.

"It was broken yesterday, and now it's still being repaired. After the repair is completed, the stones will be cleared, so that the workers will not have to be busy with carts up and down!" Ben Yin said quickly.

Wang Zheng nodded.

"One tower crane is a little less after all. I think now, once it breaks, it will delay the construction period. After a pause, "Go back and discuss it with Wang Lei, if you don't bother, you can have another one." ”

"Yes, boss!"

"Let's go, take me to the front!"

Seeing that he was interested, he naturally obeyed the order. At that moment, he led Wang Zheng and walked towards the interior of the valley that had been dug out. Their group naturally attracted the attention of everyone around them.

In particular, the two workers who had stopped Wang Zheng below were even more stunned. But at the same time, they breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, their attitude was okay at the beginning. Otherwise, if you offend the other party, I'm afraid that this will not protect your job.

"Master Benyin, you're here!"

Just as Wang Zheng and the others walked to the middle of the valley, a middle-aged man wearing clean blue overalls different from other workers, wearing a red engineering hat, a smile on his face, fair skin, and very good maintenance trotted up to greet them.

After nodding at the other party, Ben Yin introduced sideways: "Boss, this is Chen Youdao Chen, the person in charge of the construction party of this 'Qinghe Giant Buddha' project!"

"Hello, Mr. Chen!" Wang Zheng nodded, smiling and stretching out his right hand to the other party.

As a 'contractor', Chen Youdao, who has been in the society for a long time, is obviously an experienced and very discerning person. From Ben Yin's title to Wang Zheng, I know that the young man in front of him with an extraordinary temperament and a faint sense of luxury is extraordinary. Therefore, the originally affectionate expression on the face, plus three points of respect.

"Hello, hello!"

With a little caution, he stepped forward and quickly held Wang Zheng's hand that he took the initiative to reach, and after shaking it a few times, he quickly let go. And the whole person is half sideways without a trace, and the simple etiquette is just right.

No one hates people who are well-mannered, and of course Wang Zheng is the same.

"We just planned to take a look here, since Mr. Chen is also in charge, why don't you stay with us!"

"It's my pleasure, please!"

Wang Zheng nodded and walked forward.

Because the whole valley is a large construction site, there is large and small gravel and dust everywhere. Here, there is no road in the true sense of the word. Wang Zheng: They can only pick some gravel and walk with relatively little gravel. Fortunately, everyone is not a weak person who is used to 'Ge You's paralysis'. In addition to being soiled by the dust on his shoes and trouser legs, he also came to the bottom quickly.

Here, what attracts Wang Zheng at first glance is not the almost vertical cliff wall on three sides, which seems to be cut with a knife and an axe. Rather, it is a huge rock with a protruding cliff wall of nearly twenty meters and roughly equal in length and width.

At the top of the rock, there are more than a dozen middle-aged people wearing safety ropes, holding chisels and cutters in their hands, working nervously and hecticly. Under their hard and dedicated labor, the originally flat rock began to take on an arc shape, revealing one after another 'round stone drums'!

Of course, Wang Zheng understands that the so-called 'round stone drum' is not a real stone drum, but a bun on the top of the Buddha's head. It's just that it looks a bit like a stone drum from a distance.

"Is this the big Buddha you plan to carve?" asked Wang Zheng after looking at it for a while.

Ben Yin nodded, "According to the final design draft, after the project is completed, there will be a 99-meter-high 'Shakyamuni Buddha' semicircular statue." In addition, on the stone walls on the left and right sides, we are also preparing to carve two 88-meter-high semi-circular statues of Manjushri Bodhisattva, as well as the same height of the Fugen Bodhisattva statue. ”

"The Three Buddhas?" Wang Zheng suddenly said.

Shakyamuni Buddha who educates sentient beings in the world of sampa, Manjushri Bodhisattva who is famous for his wisdom on the left side, and Puxian Bodhisattva who is famous for his great deeds on the right side, are collectively called the three Buddhas.

Benin nodded.

"In addition to the 'Three Buddhas', we will also emboss some small Buddha statues on the three stone walls, and later dig cliff caves to carve more Buddhist statues and murals. ”

"Aren't you in the fire protection ~ Mountain Buddha, are you really engaged in 'Dun ~ Huang Grottoes'?" Wang Zheng couldn't help but say.

Ben Yin smiled, "Boss, it's been a long time. In addition to eating fasting and reciting Buddha, we monks in Jinguang Temple always have to find something to do. Moreover, digging Buddha caves and building Buddha statues is also beneficial to the development of mountain tourism!"

Wang Zheng, who thought for a while, nodded.

"Anyway, this mountain is a big place, so you can toss it. But don't expect me to spend money on you!"

"The incense money in our temple is enough to support these constructions. No need for the boss to throw money!"

"Hmm!" Wang Zheng nodded, looked at the statue that had just started construction, sighed slightly and joked a little, "Isn't Taiyi always thinking about saying goodbye to you?

"Why didn't you see any movement? Taiyi Lao Dao had already regained the idea of 'a glimmer of heaven', but Wang Lei did not agree to destroy the thrilling, dangerous, strange, and stunning natural scenery there. "Ben Yin Dao.

Wang Zheng nodded. Recalling the scene of the 'first line of sky' standing thousands of miles on the wall and the difficulty of flying. I also think that Wang Lei's decision is correct. What's more, the water flow in the first line of heaven is not as turbulent as here in 'Jizikou', so there is no need to destroy it at all.

"So where did he take a fancy to him?"

"I don't know, anyway, before he was called away by the boss, he walked around the mountains every day. ”

Wang Zheng understood and did not ask any more.

"How long will it take to complete this project?"

"It will take about three years to complete the three Buddha statues, but Wang Lei plans to widen the width of the 'Jizikou' from less than 20 meters to 60 meters, completely solve the flood problem, and open up the upper and lower reaches of the Qing River. Therefore, the construction period was inevitably extended a lot. If you add other reliefs and statues, it will take about five years to complete the whole project!"

"Five years!" Wang Zheng tasted, "Another five years, then I look forward to your results in five years!"

"I won't let my boss down!"

Wang Zheng nodded, turned around, looked at Chen Youdao, who had been following everyone and was a little cautious, and said with a smile: "Boss Chen, as the person in charge of the construction of the project, you have to supervise well." When the final project is completed and the effect is good enough, I think neither Jinguang Temple nor I will be stingy with rewards!"

"Please rest assured that you and the masters of Jinguang Temple will ensure that the entire 'Qinghe Giant Buddha' project will be completed on time, with quality and quantity!" Chen Youdao hurriedly patted his chest and promised.

"That's good... Let's go ahead again!"

Under the guidance and introduction of Ben Yin and Chen Youdao, Wang Zheng circled around the entire valley, and after having fun, he left with Dian Wei and Wang Gan.

Back at the Feixian Building in the Welcome Valley, as soon as I walked through the courtyard into the living room, I smelled an attractive fragrance.

"What does it smell so good?"

"Are you back?" Yu Yixue, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, put down the book in her hand and stood up with a happy face. Seeing this, Wang Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her arm.

"You don't have to get up now that your body is inconvenient!" Wang Zheng said lovingly.

"It's fine. Even though I was pregnant with my baby, I felt pretty good!"

"That's not going to work! If you're tired, I'll be distressed!"

"I feel sorry, you don't know how to come back early to accompany you!" Huo Lanxiang, who put a plate of fried broccoli on the table, choked his son.

"Mom, I have something to do too!"

Although he knew that his mother was always knife-mouthed and tofu-hearted, Wang Zheng was also a little helpless in the face of criticism.

"No matter how busy you are, is it important to have the child in Yixue's belly?"

"I knew you would say that!" Wang Zheng couldn't help muttering.

Looking at the bitter look on her husband's face, Yu Yixue next to her couldn't help but smile toothily and held his right hand comfortingly.

"Mom, don't talk about him. There's nothing inconvenient about me right now. And he went to work to earn milk powder money for his children!" Yu Yixue half-turned around and said softly.

"You, you know how to defend him!"

For the gentle and virtuous daughter-in-law who is pregnant with Liujia, Huo Lanxiang, who is 100% satisfied, is reluctant to say anything serious.

"Stinky boy, what are you doing standing there, why don't you help Yixue over for dinner?"

"Got it, Mom!"

After hurriedly agreeing, after Huo Lanxiang glanced at him and walked into the kitchen to serve the food, Wang Zheng couldn't help but kiss Yu Yixue's delicate and fair face heavily.

"Thank you, wife. I know you're the best for me!"

After glancing at Wang Zheng, "Help me over!"

"Little obedience, queen mother, please!"

"Death Phase!"

Making a harmless little joke between husband and wife, Wang Zheng helped Yu Yixue, who was about to give birth, to the seat specially prepared for her at the table.

At this time, the mother was holding scrambled eggs with tomatoes in front, Cheng Lan, who was Yu Yixue's nurse and bodyguard, was holding a plate of fried hot and sour shredded potatoes, and Uncle Zhong walked out next to each other with the crucian carp tofu soup that had just come out of the pot.

After putting the dishes in turn, eight dishes were already on the table.
