Chapter 244: Distress in the Mountains
Xiaoqu took out the textbook he brought, and turned to a page introduced by Hongfu Temple, which clearly recorded that in the year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, the two stations of the Provincial Fu Road jointly played the imperial court and asked to build Hongfu Temple.

Xiaoqu sat down slowly on the stone steps, carefully analyzing the limited few sentences in the book. There are many suspicious points, not to mention that the two stations of the provincial province and the province jointly wrote a petition for the same incident, which was extremely rare in the Qing Dynasty.
Not to mention that it was in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, which had just pacified southern China, and the long-suffering Ming Dynasty left a war-torn mess to clean up.
In this case, the two officials actually suggested that the imperial court pay for the construction of a temple just in a remote mountainous area, deep in the mountains where birds don't.
Xiaoqu knew that after turning over this mountain beam, there was a subtropical primeval forest that stretched for hundreds of miles. Even modern society has not been developed due to too complex geographical conditions, let alone the late Ming and early Qing dynasties five or six hundred years ago. What's the point of building a temple in such a deserted place?
According to the book, the historical record of the construction of Hongfu Temple is the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. However, the inscription on this mountain road is much earlier than the book records. If there had been no temple in earlier dynasties, what was the point of the believers restoring and donating a road to the primeval forest?
Xiaoqu looked up at the mountain pass not far away, and her curiosity was completely aroused. Stood up and came to the mountain pass with all his might. Standing at the pass of the mountain, facing the road, the county seat in the distance was shrouded in a faint mist. Turning around and looking in the direction of the mountain, I saw the mountains undulating and the peaks were continuous.
The mountain breeze was gentle, and as soon as the summer heat swept away, Xiaoqu immediately felt open-minded. If you want to be a boy, you have to shout loudly. After taking a closer look around and making sure that no one was there, he took a deep breath towards the mountains and shouted, "Hey! ”
As soon as he shouted halfway, he was startled to himself, and quickly stopped, because he wanted to shout "Hey!" Somehow it sounded like "Wow! Mom! "The effect is like a scream.
Xiaoqu hurriedly looked around, but fortunately, no one was relieved. Regardless of the effect, after all, my heart is much more relaxed. Xiaoqu sat down under an ancient pine tree in the dumb mouth, and after a short rest, he got up to find a way down the mountain.
With the experience of going up the mountain, Koji found the way to the bottom of the mountain without much difficulty. So he happily went down the hill along the road.
On this side of the mountain, it seems that it is in a semi-primitive state because it has not been developed, so the mountain forest is much more lush. Fortunately, the mountain road winds through the woods and is not difficult to identify.
Xiaoqu noticed that the bluestone paved stone steps were more than a foot longer than the front of the mountain, about five inches wider, the edges were seriously worn into an arc, and many stone steps were concave downward in the center, and the thickness of the original one foot was about one foot, and some were left six or seven inches. All this seems to illustrate the long history and the pomp and circumstance of pedestrians in those days.
The slope of the road down the hill is significantly smaller than that of the front mountain, so there is a longer road and more curves. At the bends, the slopes of the hill are widened out one by one. There are no buildings anymore, but you can still vaguely distinguish that they may have been pavilions for rest or worship platforms.
Koji also noticed that unlike the front mountain, this kind of clearing is basically the same distance between the two platforms, although the size varies according to the mountain restrictions. Apparently it is not a natural formation, but an artificially developed building site. Next, Koji also discovered a drainage ditch that still functions today.
Walked for about an hour. Xiaoqu suddenly noticed that there was a section of gray-white stone beams on the hillside, which stood out among the dark green weeds and shrubs. Xiaoqu stepped forward to see that it was a stone pillar carved with flowers and plants.
Xiaoqu has seen stone pillars carved with dragon-shaped patterns, and he has also seen totem poles engraved with totems from photos, but it is the first time that Xiaoqu has seen such a three-dimensional high-relief stone carving with multiple layers of overlapping and stacking bases. The first thing that comes to mind at this moment is the pictorial glyphs of Mayan culture.
However, the carving style of this stone pillar is not a deformation pattern, it is completely realistic. The branches, leaves, flowers and fruits are all intricately carved, and they look simply lifelike. It seems that when a gust of wind comes, it will sway and float with the wind. Xiaoqu regretted that he left in a hurry and didn't bring a camera.
After admiring for a while, Xiaoqu continued to walk forward. The road ahead is about a mile of mountain road, and the road ahead is divided into two branches, one slightly upward and the other slightly downward. Xiaoqu knew that there was only a little difference in the fork of the mountain road at first, but then the distance became larger, and it could be in a completely different direction.
Although the southeast, northwest, and northwestward direction of the mountain forest are important, the trend of the mountain is more influential. The most fearful thing about walking is getting lost, you think due north is the destination, but you turn along the mountain. Either it's a cliff with no way out. Xiaoqu looked around and couldn't make up his mind.
I took out the book from my schoolbag and looked at it to indicate that the map should be at the bottom of the mountain, near the Bailong River. Take a closer look at the two roads and see a section of stone pillars falling down the side of the road. Xiaoqu stepped forward to take a closer look and found that unlike the openwork stone pillar seen earlier, this one had no fine carving, only a few simple seal characters.
Xiaoqu watched it for a while, and he didn't know a word, but muttered in his heart, the seal character should be used in Han, and in the Jin and Tang dynasties, it gradually used the same words as the current traditional characters. Could it be that the history of this place is still in the Han and Jin dynasties before the Tang Dynasty.
Kokoji wanted to go down the mountain as soon as possible and rush to Hongfuji Temple before dark. I didn't dare to take the slightly upward path, so I decided to choose the downward path by looking at the stone pillars.
After walking a short distance, the mountain road turned down with a steep slope, and Xiaoqu wanted to see how far away he was from the imaginary Hongfu Temple, but the surrounding woods were lush and he couldn't see the distance clearly. Xiaoqu took a few steps forward and saw a large rock protruding high about ten meters in front of him.
Xiaoqu thought to himself, climbing on the stone, he should be able to see the mountain road in the distance, as if he was walking along the mountain road with his head stuffy.
So he drove a few big steps to the side of the road, and when he saw the big stone, he stepped up the stone steps and stepped towards the stone. When I realized that my feet were empty, my body had already thrown myself off the road. Suddenly, the scenery in front of me flickered, and there was an empty cliff at your feet. This is the only way to see clearly, and the big stone on which he landed is far away. But at this time, his feet were empty, and his body involuntarily fell into a depression about four meters deep.
The valleys were littered with rocks, some as sharp as knives, others as sharp as swords. Xiaoqu's eyes saw the earth rushing towards him, and he was terrified, holding his head with his hands and closing his eyes. But his body fell like a fallen leaf into the depression of the cliff, and the people were also frightened and dazed.
First, the right thigh was slammed into the right thigh, and the sharp pain suddenly hit. I heard a click in my ears clearly, and then I didn't know anything when it was dark in front of my eyes.
I don't know how long it took for Xiaoqu to slowly wake up with a burst of pain. In addition to the severe pain in his right leg, there was pain almost everywhere in his body. Through the very dim light of dusk, Xiaoqu saw that he was suspended between two boulders, about a meter high from the ground, and directly below his body was a sharp stone blade like a sharp blade.
