After handing the note to General Li, Ram Xiu said: "All the people above should be sent out, as for the tasks that need to be done, I have already written them all, and you will call Zhang Xun to me when you go to arrange the tasks in a while." ”

At this time, General Li really walked out of the office with a note like a subordinate.

"There is some difficulty in the place of Shendi's left eye, Zhang Xun will let him come with you, and the two of you can take care of it." Ram Xiu said to me.

I looked happy and said, "Thank you, senior ram." ”

"The left eye of the god is in the South Cave Temple, and it has been embedded in the body of a Buddha statue, as for which Buddha statue it is, it depends on your own creation." A trace of helplessness appeared on Ram Xiu's face: "Don't make trouble for me after you get there, do you understand, the difficulty I said is not due to external forces, but yourself." ”

When I got the address, I quickly nodded yes.

After a while, Zhang Xun walked in, and after I explained the task, Zhang Xun naturally said that he had no opinion.

The next day, we set off, but before we left, I made a special call to Xu Chenxi and told him that I had found the item and asked her not to worry.

South Grotto Temple, located in Jiangjia Village, Hot Spring Development Zone, East Jing River, Jingchuan County, Gansu Province, 9 kilometers away from Jingchuan County, and Qingyang North Grotto Temple, known as "Longdong Grottoes Double Pearl". There are 5 existing caves, all of which are located north to south.

When I came to Jingchuan County, I found a restaurant with Zhang Xun and had a full meal before rushing to Jiangjia Village.

At this time, it was the afternoon, and many people were enjoying the shade on the street, and when they saw the two of us, the villagers were pointing and talking about something.

Zhang Xun has a cold face wherever he goes anyway, as if others owe him much money.

Helplessly, I walked up to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl and asked, "Beauty, where is the South Cave Temple?" Can you take us there? ”

The little girl said in a non-standard Mandarin: "Yes, but who are you?" ”

"We are tourists." I tried my best to make myself look harmless, after all, Zhang Xun and I both carried this sword behind us.

"Tourists?" The girl looked at me suspiciously and said, "Why should I take you there?" What if you're the bad guys? ”

I looked at the girl with a black line and said, "Do you think I'm like a bad person?" ”

"Like." The girl said without hesitation.

I shrugged, "Okay, I'd better find it myself." ”

After walking around the village with Zhang Xun, we found this South Cave Temple.

The South Cave Temple is not as luxuriously decorated as other temples, but just like ordinary temples, it is so natural that there is no trace of repair.

There are five existing caves in the South Cave Temple, and the No. 1 East Cave and the No. 2 West Cave are relatively intact. Dongda Cave is the main cave of the South Cave Temple, which is 13 meters high, about 17 meters wide and 14 meters deep, with a unique structure and magnificent shape. After entering the cave, face the three walls to stand up to more than 2 meters of 7 Buddha statues, there are 13 Bodhisattvas on both sides, the forms are different, lifelike, for the Northern Wei Dynasty style. The roof of the cave is covered with reliefs, such as Buddhist scriptures such as sacrificing one's life to feed tigers and playing games in the palace.

We first went to see the second cave, but there were no abnormalities on the Buddha statues in the second cave, and even Zhang Xun, who was delicate and thoughtful, shook his head again and again to say that he didn't find it.

After the second cave, we went to the first cave again, because the people in the temple said that the first cave was the most valuable and the most visited.

The first cave is rectangular, the height of the cave is about more than ten meters, the width is nearly 20 meters, the square cave door, the top of the front wall door opens a square open window, covers the bucket-shaped top.

The main wall of the cave and the left and right wall pedestals are carved with seven standing Buddhas, according to reports, these Buddha statues are seven meters high, the headdress is snail, the nose is big and the ears are big, the face is plump, the long clothes hang down the knees, and the demeanor is peaceful. There are two Bodhisattvas on both sides of each Buddha, a total of 14 statues, about four meters high, graceful and graceful, slim and elegant, carved a Maitreya Bodhisattva on both sides of the front wall door, five meters high.

There are relief Buddha stories in the east, north and west of the cave top, and the contents include the birth under the tree, the occupation of the Ashita phase, the song and dance in the palace, the monk over the city, and the thinking under the tree. The appearance of the Seven Buddha Caves, which mainly represent the Seven Buddhas, is the earliest in this cave and the North Cave Temple.

When the staff introduced me, I told you the truth, I didn't listen to it at all, I have been observing the eyes of these Buddha statues, because since it is the left eye of the gods, it is also a gem, even if it is covered with dust, it is impossible to set it in other places, and the most likely place to be inlaid is the position of the eyes.

But after looking at it for a long time, I didn't see which one was what I was looking for.

"Not here." Zhang Xun came to me and said: "The others have seen it, and the last one is the fourth cave, if you really take something here, then it must be in the fourth cave." ”

With the last hope, we came to the fourth cave.

The fourth cave is a medium-sized square cave, Manjushri Bodhisattva, Puxian Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva three masters are in the center, there are sixteen Arhats, eight Bodhisattvas, six wilfords on both sides in three layers, all are stone fetal clay sculptures, respectively Tang Dynasty and late Qing Dynasty style.

There are also several small niches of the Tang Dynasty, the stone has been weathered, and the statue is not clear.

Looking at these badly weathered Buddha statues, I tell you the truth, I have really lost confidence, because I have already observed all the Buddha statues here, and the Buddha statues in this fourth cave are not even a little clear on their faces, so how can there still be that ruby?

Just as I was about to turn around and go out, Zhang Xun grabbed me: "Look at the eyebrows of Guanyin Bodhisattva." ”

I looked curiously at the center of the Bodhisattva's eyebrows, and the Bodhisattva's eyebrows were indeed a little red, but it was normal for the Buddha statue to be six or seven meters tall to have an inconspicuous red spot on the center of the eyebrows, and it seemed to be dyed with paint.

Wrong!

I suddenly reflected, if the red dot on the eyebrows of Guanyin Bodhisattva is dotted, then why don't the two Bodhisattvas Manjushri and Fuxian have that red dot on the eyebrows.

Thinking of this, I glanced at Zhang Xun.

"What should I do?" I looked at Zhang Xun and asked.

"You ask me, who do I ask?" Zhang Xun looked at me helplessly: "If you want to take away that gem, I'm afraid it's tantamount to going up to my Longhu Mountain to take away the statue of the patriarch Zhang Daoling." ”

"And even if you succeed in getting it, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of this Jiangjia Village, right?" Zhang Xun said, looked at the surrounding situation, and then I saw him shaken all over.

Following Zhang Xun's gaze, I saw a woman, this woman looked very similar to Tang Xin, as if carved out of a mold.

"Dude." I pushed him: "Don't get excited, that's not Tang Xin." ”
