Chapter 65: The Situation Below (Part I)
Seeing that the three of them were collectively shining in one direction, I quickly grabbed the angle iron frame and looked in the direction they were irradiating.
On the opposite cliff, there was a huge human head. After a closer look, I could see that it was not just a human head, but a stone giant, and the stone on which the giant was carved was prominent, and it was coated with dye.
It may be that the age is too old, and the color of the dye has been dimmed, but it can still be seen that the carving on the opposite cliff is an old Taoist wearing a Taoist robe and holding a dust.
For this carving, my first feeling is Taishang Laojun, after all, the ancient people were more superstitious and worshiped the gods, so it is normal to worship Taishang Laojun.
Since the stone carvings on the opposite cliff are more than 20 meters high, and the height I am at now is as high as the head of Lao Dao, it is difficult to see the lower body of the stone carvings.
"Don't even look at it, hurry up and go down, what is there to see in the old way." I shouted at the old prostitutes.
"Damn, do you see the situation below, just fucking the command."
As soon as I heard the old prostitute say that I didn't see the situation clearly, I hurriedly looked down with a flashlight. Just take a look at it, and you can understand what it means to be a prostitute.
The flashlight can shine on the ground, we are still more than 20 meters high from the ground, but the angle iron frame is not directly to the ground, there is still a height of more than ten meters from the ground, there is no angle iron frame, and there are no other tools that can pass down.
When I looked down, the old prostitute had already started to tie the rope, and when I looked up at him again, he had already fixed the rope, and then shouted to me, "I'll go first." After saying that, he began to go down the rope.
After the old prostitute went down, we went down in turn with the rope he tied, and I was the last. During this period, I chatted with Scar for a few words, only to know that this guy had actually worked on the construction site before, and was a scaffolding worker on the construction site, no wonder the movements on the angle iron frame were so flexible, I originally thought that this guy was deeply hidden, but I didn't expect that people were professional in doing this.
When I landed, I saw that there were a lot of angle irons on the ground, but they were all scattered on the ground, and they were all messy. It looks like the angle iron used to connect this section to the ground, but I don't know what the reason is, this section was stopped before it was built.
The old prostitute was very interested in the angle iron on the ground, squatting on the ground to look at the angle iron, San'er and Scar had already walked to the bottom of the opposite cliff, looking at the stone carvings on the cliff.
I wasn't interested in the angle iron on the ground, so I didn't pay attention to it at all, but the stone carvings on the opposite cliff were very attractive, because there were some stone carvings underneath the huge old road. Since none of these patterns are painted, it is difficult to see what is carved without walking through it yourself.
I walked towards the opposite cliff while taking care of the surrounding situation, the bottom of this empty mountain is very large, the distance between the two sides of the cliff is about 40 meters wide, as for the length, it is impossible to estimate for the time being, because the flashlight can shine on a natural stone wall in the direction of my right hand, but it does not shine in the direction of my left hand, it seems that the next road is likely to follow the left hand side.
On the ground in the middle of the cliffs on both sides, there is a place of about 200 square meters in size that is paved with a layer of stone bricks, which is particularly regular, and in front of the stone bricks, there is also a long tripod for incense and sacrifice.
This long tripod is placed in front of the stone carving old road, and it seems that it is the incense tripod used by believers to worship the old road.
After seeing Xiangding, I thought that the old way on the stone carving was Taishang Laojun.
But when I walked over and saw the stone carvings under the old road, I realized that this didn't look like Taishang Laojun. Because under the stone carving of the old road, there are many images carved, these images are carved at a height of two meters from the ground, and they can be touched by reaching out, all of them are highlighted, and the size of a normal person is about the same, but the appearance is very strange, and the stone carvings are painted with black lacquer.
At first glance, these stone carvings are particularly scary, and the first impression of these stone carvings is that of devils, and the images of these devils are almost the same, almost all of them look the same, and they all wear a kind of hat that only soldiers wore in ancient times.
I counted, and below the old stone carvings, there were dozens of such stone carvings. Although each face of these devil stone carvings is terrifying, they have a lot of respect for the old way above, and each devil stone sculpture has some bends in the direction of the old road, a bit like bowing to the old way.
Seeing such a stone carving, I am so strange, I feel that this old Taoist really does not look like Taishang Laojun. I don't know much about Taoism, but I know a little bit about it, and I really haven't heard of a carving of Taishang Laojun and the devil together, and this is still a place to worship Laojun. It stands to reason that in the place of worship, there should be a seated portrait of Lao Jun, not this kind of standing, and it is impossible to put Lao Jun and the devil together.
It's easy to mistake this scene for believing that it's not just Lao Jun who is being worshipped, but also the devils below, because the devils are also being worshiped by believers.
The more I look at it, the more I feel that these stone carvings of devils are incredible, and it is difficult for people to understand the meaning. And I also have a little doubt in my heart, if this old Taoist is not too old king, then how can the people here in the Western Regions worship a person from the Central Plains Taoism?
You must know that there is a big difference between the culture of the Western Regions and the culture of the Central Plains in ancient times, most of them are small countries, most of them are one city and one country, even those big countries believe in Islam, not Taoism. Not to mention small countries, many of them are dedicated to ancient totems, and they will not worship the Central Plains Taoist at all. Although Taoism is a household name in the Central Plains, and it is understandable that it preached to the Western Regions, it is impossible to reach the point where a small country in the Western Regions can build such a large stone sculpture to believe in, so this is very puzzling.
I think, there may be some allusion here, after all, the facts are in front of me, and the people who are enshrined here are indeed Taoist people in the Central Plains, but I can't be sure if it's Taishang Laojun. But I didn't think much about it, after all, this is the business of the ancients, and people can believe in whoever they want, what does it have to do with me.
"Xiao Qi, come here." The old prostitute called me where we had just come down.
I immediately answered, thinking he had found something, and walked towards him.
As I walked, I looked over to him, and saw the old prostitute moving the angle iron on the ground.
Seeing this scene, I was really helpless, and I thought, could it be that I want to build an angle iron shelf? Isn't this full of food, and you can't use your strength like this?
After walking to the old prostitute, I had already thought of many ways to refuse, but the old prostitute didn't mean this, but let me see the few corner iron shelves he moved together.
I looked at it a few times, but I didn't see anything special, so I asked the old prostitute directly, "What should you let me see this play?"
"Xiao Qi, I know you must think I'm boring now, but I dare say you're wrong. From now on, we must always be vigilant, here, perhaps in front of our eyes, there is some kind of deadly danger hidden, so we have to raise 200 percent of the spirit. ”
As soon as I heard the old prostitute speak in the wrong tone, I immediately had a premonition that he had discovered something, because the old prostitute spoke very straightforwardly and rarely beat around the bush. Once he speaks around the bush, there must be nothing good.
