Chapter 137: The Unfinished Stone Buddha
The torch in San'er's hand has limited light, and he can only see a little of the upper part of the carving, and the head of the whole carving should be on the neck, but now it has become some gravel and discarded on it, and a huge area has been carved out of the rock wall, which is obviously used to carve the face of the Buddha, but he stopped here. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhang Renshan at the bottom saw that San'er didn't leave, so he hurriedly asked what happened, San'er glanced down at Zhang Renshan, nodded his chin at the carving next to him, and then said: "Xian'er, see for yourself!" Zhang Renshan turned his head a little and looked, his current position depends on the carved head, it still takes a little effort, he has to lean out a little to see it, otherwise he can only see the carved neck. Zhang Renshan propped up his body, fixed his eyes, looked at it for a long time, nodded and said: "This carving is really not finished, I have already guessed an approximate one when I saw this iron wedge before", San'er shook the torch in his hand in the direction of the carving, and wanted to see it more clearly, but his arm was not long enough, and the light of the torch could only shine a small distance, and he couldn't illuminate the far part of the carving, San'er tried for a while, and he didn't try anymore, and he re-attached his body and continued to climb up the rock ladder composed of iron wedges. Zhang Renshan saw that San'er moved and began to go up, as he went up little by little, before Zhang Renshan leaned out to barely see the carved head has now clearly appeared in front of his eyes, some scattered gravel pieces just fell on the neck of the carving, although there is no change on the rock wall, but there are still a few traces of artificiality, Zhang Renshan turned his head and looked carefully, the scattered gravel at the carved neck was obviously dropped during the carving, Normally, this kind of stone must be transported outside, because one is that this kind of scattered gravel will delay the carving work, and the other is that if this kind of stone is not transported, it is easy to produce unnecessary danger, if such a high place falls a piece down, it may be what will happen, as for what is the use of these carved waste stones, it is unknown, it may be thrown away or it may be used to build houses, Zhang Renshan is still thinking about messy things, San'er walked to the end of the rock ladder, first fixed the torch in his hand on the ground on the rock wall, and then used both hands to exert force, the whole person turned over and climbed to the ground, San'er sat up and gasped for a while, and saw that Zhang Renshan did not come up for a long time, and quickly picked up the side of the rock ladder and looked down, only to see Zhang Renshan still staying next to the unfinished head of the carving, San'er had to shout at him: "Xian'er, what are you looking at?" Come up quickly! After a while, Zhang Renshan also went to the ground above the rock wall with the help of San'er, and rested for a while, Zhang Renshan looked down and looked at the carving below, Now the two of them were obviously far away from the carved body, and could only see the upper half of the unfinished head and the remaining neck, and only a small part of the body, as for the feet and legs of the carving, they had been hidden into the darkness of the abyss, and they had become hazy and difficult to distinguish.
San'er saw Zhang Renshan staring at the rock wall carving, so he asked him if he thought of something, Zhang Renshan didn't squeak, but frowned, looked carefully, moved his mouth, thought for a while, and said: "San'er, how do I feel that we seem to have seen this rock wall carving somewhere?" San'er was stunned when he heard it, Zhang Renshan's words were incredible, this carving didn't even have a head, and he could know if he had seen it or not, San'er thought for a while and said: "Xian'er, you must be mistaken, where can we see such a big carving, even if there is a place as big as our shop, where can this carving be placed?" Okay, let's find a way! Anyway, it's already up now", Zhang Renshan saw that San'er didn't believe what he said, so he hurriedly said: "No...... San'er! I still feel like I've seen ......", San'er saw Zhang Renshan twisting his temper and had to say: "Okay! Have you ever seen ...... So tell me where you saw it? Zhang Renshan was asked by San'er now, he just looked at the rock wall carving and had a sense of familiarity, but if you really want to ask him where he has seen it, he can't say, squeak, squeak, Zhang Renshan didn't say a word for a long time, San'er looked at it and smiled, and said: "Okay, Xian'er, don't think about it, you must have confused something else with the appearance of this carving, where have we seen this kind ......of thing, go to you" San'er didn't finish speaking, Zhang Renshan slapped his head in surprise and said: "That big black Buddha!" "What? The Big Black Buddha" San'er was frightened by Zhang Renshan's reaction and said smoothly, "That's right! It's the big black stone Buddha that we followed us in the Xiao family before, and then stomped on us to kill us," Zhang Renshan said to San'er. As soon as Zhang Renshan's words came out, San'er thought that the two of them had indeed seen a stone Buddha before, but although that thing was tall, it was a living thing, not only would it follow people at the beginning, but it would also walk upright at the end, and it would have stepped down the mountain and shook the ground, if it wasn't for the gods to save him and Zhang Renshan, he would have to be trampled into flesh by the black stone Buddha, "You don't want to say that this statue is the same as the stone Buddha, right?" San'er reacted and said to Zhang Renshan, Zhang Renshan nodded and replied, "Can't you?" This carving doesn't even have a head, Xian'er, you can't jump to conclusions, this kind of thing must be carefully figured out" San'er looked down at the unfinished rock wall carving and said, "San'er, why don't you believe it?" You see for yourself that the carving of this rock wall has no head, which place is not exactly the same, the huge soles of the feet and the towering body are not very consistent with the black stone Buddha" Zhang Renshan explained vigorously, San'er listened to Zhang Renshan's words and shook his head and said: "Xian'er, you are just through the appearance, this kind of carving is taken from a certain Buddha of the Buddhist family, and the body carved out of the Venerable Buddha is almost the same, only when the head comes out can you know who this Buddha is, You just rely on one body to assert that it can only be one-sided, and the light in our hands is limited, and we can't figure out what the whole carving looks like, you can't guess like this", Zhang Renshan was speechless by San'er's few words, so he could only stand aside and listen, San'er saw that Zhang Renshan was no longer talking, so he stopped mentioning this matter, and beckoned Zhang Renshan to look around the rock wall ground that he had just climbed. Although Zhang Renshan still wanted to argue with San'er again, he was helpless, he was short of words, and he really didn't know what to say, so he could only hold it all in his heart, block his grievances, and help San'er find some clues on the ground together.
The space on the rock wall is obviously much larger than the place where the two of them stayed on the periphery of the passage before, San'er looked around and saw that there were many wooden frames that had decayed and were placed on the ground in a staggered manner, it was obvious that these things were to be placed under the deep valley to help carve the Buddha statue on the rock wall, Zhang Renshan raised his feet and walked around, thinking of going to those frames to take a look, but San'er persuaded him to leave a little, after all, this kind of thing seems to have been placed for a long time, Although it looks like Xiang'an is fine now, but who doesn't dare to guarantee how long this thing can last, in case it really doesn't happen to walk over, the frame collapses, this wooden structure looks rotten, in fact, it may not be good inside, and if it touches a person, it will have to be smashed to the bone. Zhang Renshan really didn't have a rut, listened to San'er's meaning, walked away, squatted on the ground on one side, and threw stones at those wooden frames boringly, but as soon as Zhang Renshan's hand touched the ground, he felt a cold fingertips, and a chill penetrated into his heart, and Zhang Renshan, who was frightened, quickly jumped up, San'er was still carefully observing those wooden frames, and didn't notice Zhang Renshan's situation, and heard the sound of Zhang Renshan jumping here, so he turned around and said, "What's wrong, Xian'er?" ”。 Zhang Renshan staggered, just standing firmly, heard San'er's question, and hurriedly pointed to the ground where he was squatting before: "San'er, there is something on the ground!" San'er quickly shone the torch in his hand when he heard it, and under the firelight, a shiny piece of iron was revealed from the dust under the ground, this piece of iron was thin and small, it seemed to be a tool, but there was no place to grasp it, San'er saw the situation and walked to the side of the piece of iron and squatted down, Zhang Renshan saw the thing that scared him, scratched his head, scratched his head, and walked to San'er's side to accompany him to inspect, and the iron piece was even clearer under the light of the torch. However, when San'er brushed away the dust attached to it, he saw that the other parts of the iron piece had completely rusted off, but only the part that exposed the ground was still intact, Zhang Renshan reached out to pick up the iron piece, San'er waved his hand at him and said: "Xian'er, we still know what to do, it's best not to take it!" Zhang Renshan listened to San'er's words, hehe, smiled, and regardless of San'er's obstruction, he picked up the rusty iron piece on the ground, put it in the palm of his hand, and then said: "San'er, don't worry, you don't know this thing, I can know it, it's definitely not a harmful artifact!" "Then why did you hide so far just now?" San'er looked at the triumphant Zhang Renshan and said, Zhang Renshan was embarrassed to clear his throat when San'er said it, and then said, "Lao Tzu...... Lao Tzu, that's to give you a chance! Let you get ahead of me to find out the secret, if Lao Tzu hadn't squatted down and found this thing just now, we might still be stunned looking at those broken wooden shelves! San'er looked at Zhang Renshan's appearance and nodded helplessly, and then said, "Okay!" Let's stop talking nonsense, you can tell us what this thing is, right? Zhang Renshan was stunned for a moment when he heard San'er's question, and then said, "No...... San'er, you don't really know, do you? After Zhang Renshan saw it, the corner of his mouth immediately opened and nodded the iron piece in his hand and said: "I thought that our San'er military advisor knew astronomy and geography before knowing five hundred years before and five hundred years after five hundred years!" This turned out to be ...... There are also things you don't know! It's really in line with the old saying that no one is perfect", "Okay! Don't be complacent, let's talk about what this thing is for! San'er looked at Zhang Renshan's nose and shook his head and said, "Okay, Uncle Ben won't talk to you anymore, listen to San'er, this thing is the tool used to chisel stones in the hands of those stonemasons, but this iron piece is only the head of that thing, and the normal thing is that there is a wooden handle in the lower part of its head, but it seems that it should have been on the ground for too long, and the wooden handle has rotted away, so only this iron piece is covered with dust under the ground" Zhang Renshan explained as he shook the rusty iron piece in his hand, San'er squatted beside him and clapped his hands a few times and said, "It's easy to explain, I'm convinced that I've seen it for a long time, so since this is the case, Young Master Zhang, are you explaining to me what this thing is called?" Zhang Renshan smiled and was about to speak, but he was stunned and said in his heart: "Yes! What's this thing called? I only know that this thing is used by stonemasons to chisel stone, but I don't know what it is called. San'er was still waiting on the side, Zhang Renshan's sweat had already come down, and after a while, he slowly said: "It should be called a chisel!" Well...... That's right! San'er nodded and looked at Zhang Renshan and said, "Okay...... You're confused! "What do you mean? That's the chisel...... Huh! No, San'er, don't you know? Zhang Renshan heard San'er's words and looked at him and said, "I also just remembered it, this is also thanks to you, if you don't say so much, I may not remember, this thing we usually have little contact with, and it is almost impossible to use in life, and everyone will forget it!" San'er turned his head sideways and reached out to take the iron piece in Zhang Renshan's hand and said, "Hey...... San'er, you are really ...... Never mind! It's good to think about it, so what should we do next? Zhang Renshan looked at the iron piece in San'er's hand and said, San'er stood up from the ground and took the iron piece in his hand and looked around, there are several places on the ground around him that are all occupied by the very unsafe wooden frame, if you want to walk from there, you must drill under these wooden frames, but to do so you must take a considerable risk, San'er was still standing and thinking about it, but Zhang Renshan did not get up but squatted on the ground and watched San'er's feet move and was about to get up, The flame on the torch in San'er's hand jumped, and the light around him suddenly brightened, and he saw a faint cold light reflected in Zhang Renshan's eyes, Zhang Renshan was stunned in his heart and said: "Is there still this kind of chisel under the ground?" Without thinking much about it, he slowly moved in the direction of the faint cold light just now......
