"The reason is very simple, there is a record in the township records of Qingshan Town, the old people in our village used to tell stories, and there is also the legend of Wang Mingtang's Xuantie sword and dragon slashing." Liu Junhao opened his mouth to respond. "That's right, "Qingshan Township Chronicles", I said how can I hear the name Wang Mingtang familiar." Zhao Guangming next to him also slapped his head. Hearing Liu Junhao mention it, he immediately remembered that he had seen this one in the folklore recorded in the township chronicles.

It is said that in the past, there was a dragon living in the Baitiao River, and this dragon would make waves every summer, causing the Baitiao River to flood monstrously, flooding countless farmland villages along the river, and completely cutting off water transportation. Later, after this matter was known to Wang Mingtang, the governor of Qinghe Prefecture at that time, Wang Mingtang ordered someone to forge a Xuantie sword and sent warriors to use it to kill Jiaolong.

Since then, the Baitiao River has been calm and calm, and there has been no flooding.

This legend was not only heard by Liu Junhao when he was a child, but also by the people of Qingshan Town. But everyone listened to the story, and no one believed that it had actually happened.

"Good girl, I've heard this story since I was a child, and there really is such a sword." Liu Qihua, who was probing his brain by the big pit, praised it.

"That's right, I told my grandson some time ago." Ermazi echoed. There was something incredible in the words of both of them, and they couldn't imagine that the legendary thing would actually come into reality.

In fact, many legends are based on what happened in reality, and if you peel back that veil of mystery, you may be able to discover a piece of historical truth.

Witnessing history with your own hands, not to mention how cool it feels. More than 20 laborers in the pit took turns to replace the digging soil, and the more energetic they became, in half an hour, they dug more than three meters deep, and still did not see the whole body of the sword.

Of course, another reason is that the upper silt layer has been excavated, and the bottom is a sandy layer, the soil is loose, and the excavation speed is naturally more than twice as fast as before.

Liu Junhao dug for more than 20 minutes before he was replaced. He took a breath and prepared to take a few pictures to post online when he returned.

However, he really lagged behind this time, and the tourists watching next to him had already used their mobile phones to send the photos of the excavation to the eighteenth floor. Now there are several posts in the forum, all of which are live broadcasts by tourists. At this time, the total number of replies has exceeded 1,000.

Digging a pit, taking sand and soil, a group of people were busy for two hours, digging a five-meter-deep pit on the river beach, and the Xuantie Sword finally revealed the true face of Lushan. There is a picture cast on the sword grid, according to Mr. Guo, this is a picture of Jianhui.

There is a folk legend that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, and Jairus is the second son of the dragon. It is so murderous that it can swallow swords, so people carved it on swords.

Liu Guangju had already ordered people to go back to the village to get the wire rope, and now one end of the wire rope is put on the hilt of the sword, and the other end is tied to the hand carriage.

Then the two walk-behind tractors started and worked hard at the same time, and finally pulled the big iron stone out of the big pit.

Before the sword could be stabilized, the crowd gathered around again, and the sound of mobile phones taking pictures rang. Since the sword was buried vertically, it was not really seen by the edge of the pit just now, but now you can finally feast your eyes up close.

"Dig and dig again, see if there are any other things" Seeing that Er Mazi and the others were about to go ashore, Old Man Guo hurriedly shouted.

There really is!! A few people had just dug a foot deeper when they heard a click." Something else? I don't know who shouted, and the onlookers threw down their swords one after another and gathered around again.

"Slow down, slow down, don't dig up, can you afford to damage the cultural relics?" Liu Guangju looked at the hairy appearance of the people below, and hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice.

Hearing him shout, everyone moved cautiously.

It took more than ten minutes to dig it out. It turned out to be an iron box, rusted on the top, and two holes in the side, filled with mud and sand." What's hidden here? Er Mazi tapped his fingers and made a dull sound.

"It would be nice if it was a box of gold, and we all had a share in it, and we all made a small fortune." Liu Qiyong responded.

"It won't be gold, look here......" Old Man Guo pointed to the top of the iron box in a slightly excited tone, "It's a Buddha statue, and this iron box is likely to be a Buddhist relic letter." ”

"What's a relic letter?" A tourist immediately asked.

Everyone pricked up their ears and waited for the old man to answer.

"The relic letter, also known as the iron letter, is used to wrap the relics in an iron box, and is also made of copper, gold, silver and jade. Legend has it that after the Buddha Shakyamuni Nirvana, his disciples wrapped the Buddha's bone relics with gold and jade, buried them in the ground, and then built a pagoda on it, which is what we usually call a relics pagoda. ”

"Old man, do you mean there's a bone hidden in this iron box?" Er Mazi secretly screamed and hurriedly stayed away.

"Probably not, Buddha bone relics are very rare." Old Man Guo replied hesitantly. He didn't specialize in this and didn't know much about it.

"What do you want to do so much, just open it and see if it's okay." Zhao Guangming was so anxious that he came directly to a violent iron box. The iron lock was rusted early, and he struck it lightly with an iron shovel, and the lock broke. The lid of the box was opened, and everyone immediately gathered around to see what was inside.

Let them down, not to mention gold, silver and jewelry, not even a copper coin.

It was still an iron plate, wet and rusty on the top. The obverse is engraved with two lines of letters, which are almost illegible.

Old Man Guo and Liu Junhao pondered for a few minutes, and only recognized the word "Wei Dao". Guo Zhenhua's analysis is correct, this is indeed a Buddhist thing.

Veda is the protector god of Buddhism, and many temples have enshrined it, and people are called Veda Bodhisattva. He often stood behind the statue of Maitreya Buddha, facing the Mahavira Temple, to support the Dharma and help the monks.

It seems that Wang Mingtang not only forged a Zhenhe sword, but also found Wei Dao Bodhisattva to sit here.

"Keep digging, maybe there's something left." Someone shouted again.

This time it's really gone, and if you dig down two feet deep, you can't dig down.

This place is close to the Baitiao River, and the groundwater resources are abundant, and at this time, the groundwater is constantly rising and has almost overflowed the instep.

While everyone was busy over there, Liu Junhao took out his mobile phone and dialed Reporter Guo. Reporter Guo is an old acquaintance of Liu Jiagou, so this kind of news is naturally indispensable to him. After connecting the phone, the other party heard that Liu Jiagou had dug up a giant Xuantie Sword, and immediately said that he would come over in the afternoon. In addition, it is important to keep the on-site information, and he may use it when he reports for duty.

At this time, anxious tourists have measured the length of the Xuantie Sword, 5.3 meters, which is a very staggering number. Some people began to worry about how to get it back.

Someone at the scene soon came up with the idea to lay a few thick wooden strips in the carriage to increase the stress area. Then the people tied the sword with steel wire, and then went up to twenty or thirty laborers to lift the sword of the dark iron and slowly put the sword into the carriage.

Before the walk-behind tractor drove into the village, other people in the village had already received the news and stood on the side of the road to greet them, even Zhang Qian.

After the sword was unloaded, it was thrown directly at the door of Liu Guangju's house. There is no need to consider the safety of cultural relics at all, a big iron lump, even if someone wants to steal it, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get rid of it.

At this time, tourists who did not find a chance gathered around again to take pictures.

Liu Junhao didn't join in the fun, he looked at the time on his phone, it was almost half past eleven. It was time to go home and cook lunch, so he turned his head and shouted Zhao Guangming.

It was only at this time that Zhao Guangming remembered that Zhou Yue'er was still waiting at home. He went to Liu Junhao to load the egg crate, and hurriedly rode a motorcycle to leave Zhang Qian to cook at noon, and the task of taking care of the children was naturally handed over to Liu Junhao.

Taking advantage of the efforts to coax the child, he turned on the computer and glanced at it, as he guessed, the discussion on the eighteenth floor is now very hot, and many netizens said that they want to go to Liujiagou to visit the sword. "Husband, our soy sauce is gone, you quickly ask Wukong to go to the village to buy a bottle." When the dishes were put in the pot, Zhang Qian found that the soy sauce bottle had already been empty. Her husband had to take care of the children, so she called a monkey.

Liu Junhao shook his head, "Let's let Xiaopi go, Wukong plays xingda, don't delay stir-frying." Besides, the change left over from the purchase of things will definitely be spent on you as well. ”

"Yes," Zhang Qian nodded when she heard it.

Now they can say that they are quite uneasy about monkeys, and this guy has to make some trouble every once in a while. Doesn't it condone crime by letting it do things with money?

Liu Junhao took out the vegetable basket, put a piece of RMB and a note in it, and then patted the guy's head and let it go to the village.

To paraphrase a great man, "I don't worry about you doing things!" Xiaopi is definitely a reassuring master, and it ran all the way to Liu Qihua's shop with a vegetable basket.

Now it can't be called a small store, it should be called "Qihua Supermarket". With the gradual increase in tourists in Liujiagou, Liu Qihua also changed his shotgun and renovated his small shop and renamed it a supermarket. Opening a supermarket in a small village with only a few hundred people sounds like nonsense, but anyone who comes to Liujiagou will know that this supermarket is definitely making money. Now Liujiagou is famous, and there is an endless stream of guests who come to the village every day to play, and some people have simply counted that the number of people is more than that of Liujiagou villagers. Especially on Saturdays and Sundays, the farmhouses in the village are full.

With so many people, it is natural that there are all kinds of needs. It takes more than ten miles to go to the town to buy, although this road is nothing for people with cars, and it takes half an hour to go back and forth. But after all, it's not to run errands.

Liu Qihua took a fancy to this point and upgraded the shop.

Xiaopi ran all the way to the supermarket and found that the door was locked, so he turned his head and followed the smell to find it.

Liu Qihua hadn't eaten yet, and was explaining the story of Wang Mingtang's sword and dragon slashing around the sword with a few tourists. Little Skin ran up to him and immediately whined at him.

"Wait, I'll get you soy sauce when I'm done." He is talking energetically, how can he give up halfway.

Xiaopi didn't care so much, seeing that the other party was lying on the seat and not leaving, he immediately put down the vegetable basket and stretched out his head to drag the corner of Liu Qihua's clothes.

"Okay, okay, I'm scared of you." Liu Qihua got up depressed and went back, took a bottle of soy sauce, and then changed the yuan. Seeing Xiaopi go away, he sat back down.
