It's December, it's still cold, and today I received a notice from the government to join an archaeological team. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoI was surprised, I didn't know much about archaeology or architecture, I studied forensics in college, and now I work in the forensic department of Guangzhou. Why does the government want a forensic doctor to participate in archaeology? The notice also stated that the archaeological mission was dangerous and that it was voluntary. Although I had doubts, I didn't refuse because it was a job required by the government.

The next day, I came to the hall of the city hall. I was then placed in a conference room to wait. Here sat all the members of the archaeological team. To my surprise, there were forty-seven people here. With such a large contingent organized by the government, could it be that new ancient ruins have been discovered?

Soon, a leader with a big belly and a round face came out to speak. He gave a rough idea of how the mission went. He said that ancient ruins had been discovered in Longtou Mountain in Huangpu, and that a group of archaeological teams needed to be organized to conduct in-depth investigations. Its main purpose was to find something called the Bundle of Gods, which was a golden rope in the shape of a dragon. As for why he was looking for this thing and what purpose he was using it, the leader didn't say. I'm curious, but someone is more curious than I am. It was a young man in his early twenties, and he then raised my doubts to the leader. But the leadership refused to answer, citing state secrets.

Things seemed to be in a hurry, and we were scheduled to leave tomorrow.

The next day, we returned to the city hall and the government arranged for the convoy to set off. Usually I spend more time with corpses than with people, so I don't feel like I have anything to talk about with other people. But the young girl sitting next to me was very lively and talked a lot, and she seemed very excited. It is understood that her name is Xu Li, one of the medical staff of the archaeological team, who has just graduated from college and is very energetic. She was counted with many people on the archaeological team, and I learned a very strange thing from her.

There was an archaeologist, Professor Li, an architect, Professor Chen, a metaphysician, Master Zhang, two medical personnel, including Xu Li, a forensic doctor, and a government commissioner. This commissioner has the same status as a secretary, a person sent by the government to supervise our work, and his position is greater than that of the captain. Except for the seven of us with special statuses, the other forty people, including the leader of the archaeological team, were all soldiers. At one point, I thought it was going to war, not archaeology. What does an archaeological team need forty soldiers for? What's even stranger is that what do you need a forensic doctor for? I'm starting to find this unusual! But because the commissioner was always present, I didn't express my doubts to the team members, but just whispered to Xu Li. Xu Li also felt that it was too strange for me, as a forensic doctor, to be assigned to the archaeological team.

When we arrived at Longtou Mountain, we did not rush up the mountain, but went to the nearby villages to inquire about the situation. At the foot of Yongtou Mountain is a forest, and there is a small village in the forest. I heard that the government plans to develop tourism in the neighborhood and build a forest park.

The large group stopped on the side of the road, and Captain Cao, Professor Li, Master Zhang, the commissioner, and a young man got out of the car. This young man is the young man who boldly asked the leadership question yesterday, and everyone calls him Ma Liu. Ma Liu is a Cantonese word meaning monkey. Later, I learned that the nickname Ma Liu came from his vigorous and flexible skills like a monkey. A few people who got off the bus planned to take a walk around the nearby village and find a guide to go up the mountain. I didn't want to get bored in the car, so I got out of the car. Xu Li, a lively and active college graduate, also came down with her. At this time, I had the opportunity to get close to Captain Cao and Ma Liu. I noticed that they were all wearing pistols and sabers, and that they had rows of pistol cartridges hanging from their waists. If I put on a military uniform, I would think that they are ready to go on riot missions if not to fight. I started to get upset.

We came to the nearby village, which is a very small strip of primitive village. The village is built on flat land at the foot of the mountain, and here is separated by a field and a main road. There are only a dozen families living here, and the villagers make a living from fish farming and farming.

Professor Li and Master Zhang consulted the villagers about the situation in Longtou Mountain. They asked a lot of questions, but two of them I found strange. They asked the villagers if they knew the origin of the Nine Palaces Prison Cow. Do you know the trend of Guangzhou Dragon Vein?

I kept following them, and they asked a few old people who didn't know these questions. Finally, we told the villagers what we were here for, and now we plan to find a local guide to take us to the Dragon Ancient Temple.

When the villagers heard that our group was going to inspect the Longgu Temple and that there might be an excavation at the Longgu Temple, they all came out to oppose it. The villagers all say that the dragon temple is the place where the mountain god lives, and it is the place where the dragon listens to music, and it cannot be moved. If the Dragon Ancient Temple is moved, the mountain god will send mountain ghosts to punish us.

The commissioner said that the villagers were superstitious, and that these theories of gods and ghosts were outdated in New China. He also said that this was not in line with the party's line, and that if the villagers obstructed it again, they would not be welcome.

Master Zhang came out and said a few kind words. He is a master of metaphysics, and he is also very taboo about things like mountain gods and mountain ghosts. But he said that the matter is related to the dragon vein of Guangzhou, and the stakes are very high, even if he is punished, he has to do it.

Actually, I also want to refute the commissioner, he is slapping himself in the mouth. He said that the villagers were superstitious, so why did they ask Master Zhang, a metaphysician, to act with us? But I knew that I was on the side of the archaeological team, and it was impossible for me to work against my own people, so I didn't express my opinion.

We used both hard and soft, and the villagers had to suffer. In the end, the village sent a villager to take us to the Longgu Temple.

Then we carried our supplies on our backs and continued to our destination. The road to Longgu Temple is quite rough. The road is small, surrounded by vines and steep. I was almost exhausted of climbing up with a backpack on my back, and the team members carrying boxes of supplies, although they were born soldiers, were probably not much better.

And the most unbearable estimates are Professor Chen and Master Zhang, they are both old, they should be in their fifties and sixties. Professor Chen, an architectural expert, is a little better, he is relatively young, only forty or fifty years old, and he is engaged in architecture, so he should have endured hardships. Xu Li and another doctor surnamed Wu in the medical team, although they themselves are also quite struggling, have been taking care of Professor Chen and Master Zhang.

In order for us scholars and the elderly to keep up, the team deliberately slowed down the pace and walked for an hour and rested for ten minutes. In this way, we walked for most of the day before we came to the Longgu Temple. At this time, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. Our team began to set up camp near the Dragon Ancient Temple.

The villagers who led the team walked up to Captain Cao in a panic and said, "Do you really want to spend the night here?" At night, there will be mountain ghosts in human form that can climb here, and mountain ghosts will eat people! The Dragon Ancient Temple is where we offer sacrifices to the mountain ghosts, and if you take their place, they may punish you! ”

"It's almost the twenty-first century, and the ghosts and gods of the mountains are returned! Don't be too superstitious. Captain Cao said, "We are strong and strong, what the hell does it matter, dare to attack us and kill him!" ”

"But ......"

"Your mission is done!" Captain Cao interrupted the villager's words and handed him the money, "This is your reward, you can go back quickly while it's not dark!" Otherwise, the road will not be easy to walk at night! You don't care about the rest. Go back and tell the villagers that if we can, we will try not to destroy the Longgu Temple! ”

After Captain Cao sent the villager away, he began to direct the work. The soldiers began to pitch their tents, adjust their equipment, and prepare dinner. Professor Li, Professor Chen and Master Zhang, accompanied by Ma Liu, walked into the Longgu Temple.

Xu Li and Dr. Wu began to sort out their medical supplies. The commissioner supervises the work of the soldiers. I'm the only one here who has nothing to do. I don't know what I'm doing here. Don't know what to do? But this is the government's arrangement, and the government has no reason to say, so I can only obey.

I was walking into the Dragon Ancient Temple with nothing to do. Longgu Temple occupies a relatively large area, with a courtyard in front of it, and some dilapidated houses on both sides of the courtyard. These houses are estimated to be where the people who used to visit the temple lived. The houses are all old sloping top flying corner towers, although they are dilapidated, but you can still see the grandeur of the year. At the end of the courtyard is the main temple chamber. Although the main temple room is large, there is not much in it. In the middle is a stone Buddha several meters high. In front of the statue is a large incense burner, half a person tall, and three or four people holding hands can hold it. There is a lot of burned incense in the incense burner, and there should be people here from time to time. There is a long table in front of the incense burner, which is supposed to be the place where the offerings are placed. But there was nothing on it. It is estimated that the sacrifice above was stolen and eaten by nearby beasts.

One thing I find strange is that the ordinary Buddha statue is placed in the innermost part of the room, against the back wall, but this stone Buddha is placed in the middle of the room. I've seen similar furnishings before, but this structure is due to the fact that there are doors at the front and back of the house to facilitate movement and worship. But behind the main temple chamber is only a wall, and there is no door.

At this time, I saw Professor Li, Professor Chen, and Master Zhang all standing on the left side of the Buddha statue studying. And Ma Liu stood on guard. I'm curious what they're working on? So I went over and talked to them.

According to Professor Li, there is an ancient site underneath the Longgu Temple. They are trying to find a way to open the passage without destroying the Dragon Ancient Temple. If you really can't do it, you can only dig a tunnel to go down. At this time, they were looking for a mechanism to go down.
