After hearing this, Curator Wang stepped forward and grabbed the exposed Luoyang shovel handle and smashed it down a few times, and tried the feel.

Then let go and discussed with Professor Hai and Professor Xu: "Strange, we began to estimate that the mark on the map is a tomb, but just now the shovel seems to be shoveling on the tile, and it seems to be a roof underneath, could it be that the mark on the map is a building?" ”

When Professor Hai heard this, he also went over to hold the Luoyang shovel and smashed it twice, nodded and said: "Lao Wang's estimate is right, there should be a house below, the map was searched by the public security department on the tomb robbers in Minning Village, and no one said that the tomb marked on it is the tomb, everything is our guess, now we must have found the right place, and this underground building may be built according to the feng shui direction of the Yin House, otherwise Xiao Li's stargazing and acupoint fixing technique is not so accurate." ”

Professor Xu also went up to try the feel, and said after a moment of silence: "There must be something underneath, and we have found the right place, as for what is underneath?" I have read a document before, the legend is that there is a city 'Heishui City' in Western Xia, named after the Heishui River flowing through this place, surrounded by water on three sides, there is a famous inland lake living in Yanhai, the water and grass are fertile, the products are abundant, there is a temple outside the Heishui City, called the Great Buddha Temple of Tongtian.

"At that time, there was a minister named Yeli Jiwei in Western Xia, who was a great Confucian who was proficient in Sinology after Yeli Renrong, especially astronomy and geography, and the five elements of yin and yang were even better. When he was in Heishui City, he patrolled the city head one day and night, and saw that ten miles away from the city was in the outer earth city, and the three stars were shining, and there was purple qi rushing between the bulls.

"The next day, when I went here during the day, I saw that the Helan Mountains were on the opposite side, and the winding Heishui River was on the side. The head rests on the green mountain, the foot steps on the jade belt, the end is a piece of feng shui treasure land, if you die buried there there will be good fortune for the descendants of the family, then build a lot of construction, change this place into the Great Buddha Temple, secretly built a mausoleum in it.

"But then Yeli was killed by the Xixia royal family, and the mausoleum built under the temple was always empty, and then the Heishui River was rerouted, and most of the entire Heishui City was swallowed up by the sand, and it became an abandoned city, and the last Xianzong Li Dewang ordered people to hide the treasures of the palace in the Tongtian Temple near the Heishui City, where the ground buildings have long been destroyed, buried so far, but have never been discovered, now we don't guess, dig down to see if the truth will be revealed!"

When Curator Wang heard this, he patted Professor Xu's shoulder excitedly and said, "Okay, you old Xu, don't say it a long time ago, we discussed it a few times, but you didn't make a statement, and only now did I say it, so I always thought it was the tomb of Yeli Renrong." According to you, isn't this still a place to hide treasures? ”

Professor Xu replied: "There was no basis before, and it was not good to speak indiscriminately, and this is also recorded by the wild history, which should not be true, but now look at this situation, it is a map and a riddle, all pointing here, and it seems to be the roof of a building below, so I remembered this legend, but I just provide a hypothesis, the old man is arrogant, everyone listens to it first!" ”

Curator Wang raised his head and laughed: "Okay, well, then listen to it!" Young men, what are you waiting for, you are moving slowly, you haven't stopped seeing Lao Xu, there is a treasure of Alibaba underneath! ”

When the young people present heard this, they all cheered and high-fived, and even a few PLA soldiers smiled.

Everyone picked up the shovel one after another, and began to dig with the small hole made by the Luoyang shovel just now, and even the two lazy men of the leopard and Xiao Meng spared no effort to dig the sand and shovel the soil with the shovel.

At dawn, a large pit with a diameter of two meters and a depth of about five meters has been dug at dawn, and a large area of cyan glazed tiles has been exposed at the bottom of the pit, and I don't know what kind of building is underneath.

Everyone lifted dozens of tiles with their hands and feet, and Director Wang immediately called out to everyone, asking everyone to climb to the ground to ventilate the underground building that had just been dug up.

The air inside has been static for nearly a thousand years, don't stand at the entrance of the cave and be smoked by the poisonous gas inside.

Although everyone wanted to go down to see the treasure, their lives were still at stake, so they all obediently climbed up and picked up a few tiles by the way to identify them for a few old professors.

As soon as a few people looked at the various Arhat and Bodhisattva shapes on the tiles, they knew that the Tongtian Great Buddha Temple that Lao Xu said might really be the building underneath, because these tiles with exquisite workmanship and complex patterns are not something that ordinary people can use.

Everyone waited on the ground for a long time, until the sun rose high, and Director Wang announced a few disciplines to everyone: First, the situation below is unknown, it is an underground space, and it is not allowed to make loud noises, so as not to cause resonance and collapse.

2. Do not touch anything underneath without permission, and if necessary, it is best to wear gloves, because it is not known whether there are poisonous and unknown bacteria underneath.

3. Obey orders, listen to commands, and do not act without authorization.

Fourth, the main purpose of this trip is to survey the scale of underground buildings and determine the names of the relics. When encountering difficulties, you don't have to be reckless, safety first, you can report to the state after you come up, and ask the government to send someone to excavate.

These disciplines are for the sake of everyone's life safety, and everyone naturally nods and agrees.

Then Director Wang put down an air detector from the hole, and after a few minutes, he took it up, and saw that all the indicators had reached the normal standard.

Only then did he wave his hand and signal that he could go down, and squad leader Zhang arranged for Xia Zhian to sentry on the ground, and he and Ni Weidong tied up the rope ladder and took the lead in climbing down from the hole. Then there were some young students, and after most of them went down, a few old professors and a few girls also climbed down, and Li Qingcang accompanied the Hai father and daughter.

In addition to the little warrior Xia Zhi'an, there was only the guide old camel left on the ground. The old camel smiled at the little warrior and said, "Well, now they have finally found a place, and my task is basically completed, young man, I have to rest for a while, hard work for you, may Allah bless you!" ”

Then he stretched his waist and yawned long, and ran to the edge of the camel herd to take a nap.

Xia Zhian pursed his lips, carried his rifle, and walked around the open space a few times, but found nothing wrong, so he also sat down at the entrance of the cave to rest.

Li Qingcang and the others went down to the underground room, turned on the spotlight on their heads and the wolf's eye flashlight in their hands, plus the sunlight shining in from the roof, the underground did not feel very dark, and they saw that the place they were in was a huge temple.

At the end of the main hall, there is a statue of Shakyamuni Buddha (such as Buddha), there is an iron gilt Buddha statue in front of the Buddha standing opposite, and on both sides are the statues of Manjushri Bodhisattva and Puxian Bodhisattva.

The main hall enshrines the Buddha Dharma body is full of gems, the flashlight shines on the pearls, the color is blurred, and the treasure looks solemn on the lotus platform. The hall is supported by many large pillars that are hugged by one person, and they are so strong that the building has not been crushed by the sand above for thousands of years.

When Professor Xu saw the sculpture of the Buddha, he smiled at Director Wang and Professor Hai. The three of them all wanted to think that the legend of this Tongtian Great Buddha Temple was really true.

Several people took the students to look around with flashlights, and saw that the front hall had collapsed, and the masonry and rubble were piled up on the ground, and they couldn't pass at all.

About the five hundred Arhat statues in the West Heaven are here, those Arhat statues are also exquisite and luxurious, gilt and inlaid with silver, the materials and decorations are all first-class and elegant, each one is worth a lot of money, it can be seen that the national strength of the Western Xia was strong, and Buddhism flourished, but the side hall also collapsed a lot of rooms, and many Arhat statues were pressed by bricks, stones and wooden pillars.

The leopard and Xiao Meng had a fine light in their eyes, and they had already forgotten all about their promise to the eldest brother in Nanjing, and only thought about digging some gems from these Buddha statues when they were unprepared. Li Qingcang knew the thoughts of these two bastards when he saw the looks of the two, and whispered behind the two: "Don't mess around, this is just the main hall, and if there are good things, they won't be here, but don't be embarrassed here." The boss spoke, although the two were unwilling, there was no way, and they each nodded.

Gu Zhaohui, Zhu Qianwen and some other students looked at these Buddha statues of different shapes for a long time, and only felt that they were a little different from the Buddha statues seen in various temples, but they couldn't say what was different, and they felt that it was a little weird, so they asked the teacher for advice.

Director Wang told everyone: "The Xixia people are mainly Dangxiang people, and the Dangxiang people originated in Tibet, and later Li Deming, Taizong of the Western Xia, assisted the Tang King to recover the lost land, and he really made a lot of great contributions, and was given the surname Li."

"Later, Li Yuanhao founded the country and became the emperor, believed in Buddhism, and Tibetan Buddhism was popular in Western Xia, these Buddha statues are closer to the Tantric Dharma, dressed in Tang costumes, and the image is closer to the original form of the birthplace of Buddhism, unlike the Buddha statues in the inland temples that are deeply affected by sinicization, so it looks a little different."

It dawned on the students that they had come to their senses. Several old professors called Li Qingcang together to discuss the question of where to hide if there was a treasure.

Li Qingcang thinks that since it is mentioned in the record that Ye Li Wei secretly built a mausoleum, then this treasure should be in the mausoleum, so it will not be far from the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and it may even be under the Daxiong Treasure Palace, because a mausoleum has been built under the temple, since it is a tomb, of course, it must be repaired on the feng shui acupuncture points, and the area of the acupuncture points of this feng shui vein is so large, so the scope should be delineated near the main hall.

The three elders also agreed, so they summoned everyone over, explained the analysis just now, and asked everyone to look carefully around the main hall.

Everyone turned around the Daxiong Treasure Hall of the Great Buddha Temple with flashlights, and almost every brick and tile was rummaged through, but they didn't find any entrance to the treasure cave, and they couldn't help but be a little discouraged.

Professor Hai said: "Since you have come in, don't be anxious, look carefully from front to back, this place is called Tongtian Big Buddha Temple, there are definitely more than these Buddha statues, I estimate that there is at least one big Buddha statue has not been found, the front hall is not, let's go to the apse to see." ”

So everyone marched towards the apse again, the passage connecting the apse is painted with the Buddha of the Song Dynasty, mostly embellished with lotus flowers, the flying body in the picture is plump, the style is beautiful, the corners of the skirt are elegant and smart, as if flying in the air.

Li Qingcang looked at these familiar patterns, and suddenly seemed to have returned to the Song Dynasty, and his heart was a little trance-like.

It wasn't until everyone let out a series of exclamations and praises that he regained his clarity, and when he looked around, he had come to the apse.

Professor Hai was not mistaken, the apse was even more magnificent, and a huge stone Buddha with brilliant colors and extraordinary momentum slept in the apse.
