Tao Lao could guess a few points of these people's thoughts, but he didn't say much, and continued to study the frescoes that had fallen off, and then paid attention to the situation around the grotto.

At the same time, Qiao Yu asked in a low voice, "This thing is very strange, who do you think did it?" ”

"How can you be sure it's artificial?" Bayeux said softly: "After all, it's good, what are you doing destroying the mural?" ”

"Who knows, it may have been broken by accident." Qiao Yu speculated: "Then simply don't do it twice, make the murals look like this, pretending to be hot and cold contracting." ”

"Little Joe, don't talk nonsense." Baye said cautiously: "It's not good to be heard." ”

"What are you afraid of?" Qiao Yu laughed quietly: "Don't be afraid of people when you do it, you have heard of the trick of bullying and shirking responsibility, and now you finally see it." ”

"Don't rush to be arbitrary."

However, Wang Guan has a different view: "Thermal expansion and cold contraction are naturally unreliable, but it is not necessarily man-made destruction, because the debris cracks naturally, and it looks like an earthquake shock cracking." ”

"Earthquake?" Qiao Yu's voice was a little louder, and then he shook his head directly: "Impossible." ”

"I'm just guessing." Wang Guan smiled and agreed: "If it is an earthquake, it is estimated that it is not only a grotto, I am afraid that all the grottoes will not be spared." ”

"That's it!" Qiao Yu nodded and said bluntly: "So your guess is even more unreliable." ”

"Not necessarily!"

At this moment, Tao Lao turned around and said, "It's really possible that it's an earthquake." ”

"What?"

Everyone was stunned, and even a little dumbfounded. Forget about other people, how can such a reason, or an excuse, come from the mouth of the upright and selfless Tao Lao? You must know that in the eyes of a group of managers, the reason for earthquakes is even more unreliable than thermal expansion and contraction. Take such reasons and report them to the higher authorities. Absolutely can't fool around.

"Don't believe me?" Tao Lao smiled and said indifferently: "In fact, there are two kinds of earthquakes, one is a natural earthquake and the other is a man-made earthquake. ”

"Huh? Man-made earthquakes? ”

For a while, many people were puzzled, and naturally some smart people reacted and hurriedly said: "What does Tao Lao mean is that someone is working nearby, so these murals are cracked?" ”

"Who? Who's in the construction. When the director heard this, he immediately became furious and said: "It has been three times and five orders." You can't use machinery like a drill in the grotto, whoever violates the rules, stand up for me immediately. ”

"Director, no." At the right time, a manager scratched his head and said in confusion: "Recently, no maintenance projects have been arranged." ”

"That's right, there hasn't been any big action in the past two months, except for basic cleaning and maintenance."

The other managers nodded. Even the director recalled that this was indeed the case. After all, any project needs to be signed and sealed by him before it can take effect, and it is impossible to bypass him and implement it privately.

"No engineering?" Tao Lao frowned slightly. Suddenly he pointed to a mark on the ground and said, "Then what is this?" ”

Everyone hurriedly looked at it, only to see that the mark was not very clear, but after careful inspection, it could be barely recognized, it was the mark of a heavy object falling.

"Huh?"

All of a sudden. Someone called out.

The director glanced at it and immediately asked, "Do you know the reason?" ”

"Director, some time ago, there were no tourists who reacted that there were many grottoes. Are you tired of walking while visiting, but you don't have much to rest? So after discussion, it was decided to place some stone benches near the grotto. ”

The man hurriedly explained, pointed to the imprint, and said: "I remember that the day before yesterday, when two workers were carrying a large stone bench passing here, the rope suddenly broke, and the solid stone bench fell down with a clatter. At that time, I was still glad that the two of them were not injured, otherwise I should have paid another work-related injury fee......"

"Don't talk about what you don't have." The director glared, and said thoughtfully: "In other words, it was precisely because of that smash that the mural fell off." ”

"Pretty much." Tao Lao muttered: "After all, the mural has gone through many years, and it is itself a little weathered, even if there is no external factor, if you don't take care of it carefully, it will take ten or eight years like this, and there will be a cracking situation." The smash the day before yesterday accelerated the process, leaving hidden dangers, which did not erupt until today. ”

In fact, there is a little Tao Lao didn't say, but everyone understands it in their hearts. When the stone bench smashed to the ground and the shock wave reached the stone wall, the mural must have cracked a little, but these people were negligent and did not pay attention. In a way, these managers do have some responsibilities to bear.

Of course, the responsibility or something will be mentioned later, anyway, the specific reason was found, and the director was also relieved, and he was naturally grateful to Tao Lao, and his attitude was even lowered, and he cautiously requested: "Tao Lao, the problem has been clarified, although it is just an accident, but ...... Do you think there is any room for recovery? ”

For a moment, several managers looked at Tao Lao again, hoping to hear an affirmative answer.

"It's all cracked, how can it be recovered?" Tao Lao said angrily: "Do you stick it back again?" ”

Several managers looked at each other and smiled bitterly in embarrassment. In fact, when they found that the mural was falling off, they also thought about this idea, but unfortunately it was so broken that it couldn't stick back at all, so they had to report it to the director. After some worried discussions, the middle-aged man who went to pick up Tao Lao proposed to ask Tao Lao to come and help.

After looking at each other, a person understood Tao Lao's temperament, decided to tell the truth, and said with a shy smile: "Tao Lao, in fact, we want to ask your old man to repair the mural......

"Repair? How to restore, it is better to paint a new one. Tao Lao said.

"This is a good ......"

In an instant, someone blurted out, and everyone immediately looked at him like a fool, and secretly scolded this guy in their hearts for not knowing whether he was naïve or stupid, but he didn't hear the sarcasm in Tao Lao's tone.

"I know it's not good for you to invite me." Tao Lao smiled and said, "It turned out that he was going to use me to top the tank." ”

"Tao Lao, where do we dare to ......" A group of people hurriedly shook their heads and denied it, even if they had such thoughts in their hearts, they must not admit it, otherwise let alone remedy, the end may be even worse.

However, Wang Guan is also quite strange, how these people seem to be in awe of Tao Lao, this is not like respect for cultural celebrities, but it seems to be a kind of stuttering.

At this time, seeing Wang Guan's confusion, Qiao Yu whispered beside him: "The teacher's younger brother is the executive ...... of the provincial party committee."

In an instant, Wang Guan suddenly realized that he immediately understood the intentions of these people. If Tao Lao made a move to repaint a mural, even if the higher authorities knew that there was a cat, they probably wouldn't dare to hold on.

"I want to take advantage of the teachers, they are still very tender." Qiao Yu despised it, and then smiled: "It is estimated that they will have to talk slowly, and it is boring to stay here, why don't we go out and have a look?" ”

Wang Guan agreed, and Baye Ye had no opinion. After that, the three of them said hello to Tao Lao, and immediately left the grotto, wandering around casually.

Qiao Yu is quite familiar with this place, and from time to time explains the origin of each grotto to the other two: "No, there is the most magnificent grotto in Tianlong Mountain, which was rebuilt at the expense of the state, and there are Maitreya sitting statues and eleven-faced Guanyin statues......"

"In addition, there are many grottoes of the Tang Dynasty, the teacher said that the Tang Dynasty was the heyday of Chinese Buddhism, and Jinyang was the place of Longxing of the Li Tang Dynasty, so the Tang Dynasty also reached a climax in the Tianlong Mountain to dig caves and build temples, and successively dug a total of 18 caves in the east and west peaks." Qiao Yu said eloquently: "However, most of the Buddha statues in those grottoes are severed and mutilated, and there is only a body left. ”

"It's so miserable." Baye's eyes flashed, and he said a little strangely: "Didn't you say that it could be repaired, why don't you fix it?" ”

"If it is repaired, it will not have the charm of the vicissitudes of history."

Looking at the Buddha statue in front of him, Wang Guan also had some feelings: "These things can be called perfect art treasures, but like many things, when they are intact, we never cherish them, and we don't know their value until they are damaged." However, it is not too late to make amends, and leaving these flaws behind is a reminder not to make the same mistakes again. ”

"Well, that sounds reasonable." Qiao Yu said heartlessly: "Xiao Ye, after reading the grottoes, let's go down and have a look, there is a temple at the foot of the mountain, what was originally called Tianlong Temple, and now it is renamed Shengshou Temple." ”

"There is a coiled dragon pine in the temple, and the tree is very strange, the branches and leaves do not grow upwards instead of ordinary trees, but strangely grow horizontally and radiate to all sides. From afar, it looks like a green cloud, but up close, it looks like a giant umbrella......"

Qiao Yu seemed to be an excited bird, chattering non-stop. It didn't take long for Wang Guan and Baye Ye to come to the so-called Panlong Pine under her leadership.

After looking at it a little, Wang Guan also felt a little surprised, because this tree is not tall, it is only three meters full, but the main trunk is indeed very thick, and the branches and leaves are scattered in all directions. And in order to support the growing canopy of the ancient pine, dozens of pillars have been erected around it, which look like both the keel of the umbrella canopy and the columns of the pavilion.

The three of them walked in, and under the tree it was as if they were in a large natural pergola. Looking up, I saw that the stacked and twisted branches were like dragon arms and dragon claws, circling and interspersed, like a dragon pan in the sky, so there was the name of Panlong pine.

"Well, not bad." Qiao Yu gestured: "The shade of the tree is two hundred square meters, which is wider than some buildings. ”

"That's good." Wang Guan smiled: "Sleeping here in summer should be cooler." ”

"Dream on you, mosquitoes bite you." Qiao Yu smiled and said, and then pulled Bai Ye around the temple with great interest, and after burning a few incense sticks insincerely, he left Shengshou Temple.

As soon as he went out, Qiao Yu pointed to a building more than 100 meters away on the left hand side and said, "Have you seen it, that is Tianlong Villa, a place for people to eat, drink and have fun......"

"Xiaoyu!" At the same time, someone greeted him from afar in front of Tianlong Villa. (To be continued.) )
