172 The Buddha of Babel (Seeking Reading, Asking for Votes)
Qian Sheng turned his head to look at Lin Yi, then looked at the surrounding grains, and shook his head.
"I don't think so! Under the whole world, is it not the king's land, really sitting on the throne of the Ninety-Five, and still looking at the faces of the world? Do you need to be sneaky when you move a civil project? ”
"What do you explain about this granary in the mountains? Corn in the Tang Dynasty, was the main source of food in the north, followed by wheat and rice in the south.
I estimate that this granary was prepared for the craftsmen who came to work here back then, because it was necessary to take care of the food problems of these craftsmen from all over the world, so there were various staple food raw materials here. ”
Qian Sheng dragged his chin and pondered carefully.
It seems that this is really the case.
But where it can be chosen as a granary in ancient times, it is first of all a grain producing area.
Secondly, transportation must be convenient so that food can be distributed to various places.
Moreover, it must be close to big cities to facilitate the regulation of grain prices.
"That makes sense, according to you.
The Sui Dynasty had six granaries in the country, more than half of which were located in Yuzhou, because of the grain produced there, and it was located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, with convenient transportation, and a big city like Luoyang, which was not far from Xijing. ”
Wang Qiang approached the depths of the granary with a flashlight, and was stunned.
"I'm a good girl, what a big project this must be, I have saved so much food, and I haven't eaten it all, and there is so much surplus, which has cheapened this group of rats."
In front of him were dozens of sunken grain cellars with a caliber of seven or eight meters.
However, because of the age, the anti-rat and anti-mildew measures in the early years have completely failed, and the lid on the top has been riddled with holes by rats.
"Lao Wang, take a look at whether there are any words written under these grain cellars, or inscriptions on bricks?"
"What are you looking for?"
Wang Qiang turned on the flashlight and groped around with his head down.
Qian Sheng took over the conversation.
"Master Wang, you don't know about this, or Lin Ye is an expert.
Most of the ancient grain cellars, there are brick and stone inscriptions, recording the location of the cellar, the number, the source of grain storage, the variety, the quantity, the year and month of the cellar and so on, as long as we find a piece of this brick and stone, look at the year number on it, who built the granary, is it clear at a glance? ”
"But the problem is, there's no such thing you guys are talking about."
Wang Qiang picked up the sapper shovel and pulled it very perfunctorily.
"No, there's no brick here."
"As far as I know, last year, a colleague of Pan Jiayuan received two pieces of bricks and stones from the Sui Dynasty's 'Xingluocang' from others, and we don't know how much he received, but it is said that a buyer later offered a six-figure price, and they were all rounded."
"How valuable are these bricks?"
"Isn't it? Although this thing is an unpopular thing, if you can find one or two pieces here, it will be all white silver. ”
"Well, that sounds good, but what can be done if you can't find it? I can only say that we don't have the fortune to make a fortune! ”
Lin Yi and Qian Sheng sang and harmonized, and played a double reed.
Over there, Wang Qiang is tired enough.
As soon as I heard that this thing could be sold for a good price, I started to dry it with a shovel, and it was like a stupid son-in-law who had returned to my father-in-law's house, and the shovel was about to smoke.
The two of them looked at the dusty and energetic Wang Qiang, covering their mouths and snickering.
Wang Qiang worked there for a long time, but still did not find any trace of the so-called hungry masonry.
popping out of the smoke and dust, I saw these two people smiling evilly.
"Whether there is any score in this thing, I'm about to turn over this grain cellar."
Lin Yi held back a smile and pretended to be serious:
"Since there is no one, forget it, I don't think it can be, because the reason why they went into the mountains is to work secretly, how could they fall into the trap? Your tossing and turning just confirmed my guess. ”
"Lin Ye is reasonable, it's me who didn't think it through, Master Wang, why don't we dig it?"
Wang Qiang looked left and right and pointed to the two:
"Okay, you two are with this stupid boy, aren't you?"
Lin Yi and Qian Sheng laughed, threw down Wang Qiang, and ran to the depths of the granary.
Wang Qiang chased after him with a shovel.
As you can see from the footprints on the ground, Wukong also followed this path all the way.
Along the way, there was the smell of grain mildew, and from time to time there was the sound of rat activity hidden in the corners, Wang Qiang immediately became honest, sandwiched between Lin Yi and Qian Sheng, without saying a word, until he walked to the end of this granary, and several steps and a wooden door appeared.
The wooden door is made of wooden planks piece-by-piece, tightly fitted, and there should be locks on the outside to lock tightly.
It's a pity that it's still an old problem, in disrepair, the wood is rotten, moth-eaten and rat-bitten, and there are passages dug out by rats on it.
As soon as he stepped up, it was directly a big hole, and Lin Yi was the first to drill out with a flashlight.
Qian Sheng and Wang Qiang followed.
As soon as the three of them walked out of the door, they saw Wukong sitting on the ground, holding his hands honestly in front of his chest, looking very reverent, looking up with his head up.
It lives deep in the mountains all year round, has bright ears and eyes, and has the ability to see at night, and it can see things they can't see without the help of a flashlight.
"Good guy, why is my brother monkey still worshipping? What did you see? ”
Wang Qiang turned on his strong light flashlight, picked the lumens to the maximum, and focused it into the air.
The moment the beam reached above, the three froze at the same time.
In the middle of this dark mountain, there stands a statue of a figure standing up to the sky.
But it was covered with a huge yellow silk cloth from top to bottom, covering its features and most of its body, revealing only its two hands outside.
It was too long ago, and there were a lot of holes and broken marks in this yellow silk cloth, and the color had almost fallen off, and only some of the stacked places could still see the color.
"Second master, I finally know where the 'Wood King' is used now. The Leshan Giant Buddha is only more than 70 meters high, and this statue is more than 100 meters high.
This is going to be broadcast from our live broadcast room, but it's going to be a big name. ”
"Money shopkeeper, if I'm mistaken, this should be a Buddha statue, right?"
Lin Yi asked with squinted eyes.
"Can't be wrong, one hand bends the arm in front of the chest, the fingers are naturally stretched, the palm is outward, and the knot is the 'fearless seal' of Buddhism, and the hand is naturally stretched down, the finger end hangs down, and the palm is outward, and the knot is the 'wish seal', which is definitely a Buddhist statue that has not run away."
"Who has nothing to do to build such a big Buddha statue in this ravine and not let people see it? What is the picture? ”
As Wang Qiang spoke, he swept around with a flashlight.
But they suddenly found that there were two rows of neat stone statues beside them, each of which was five meters away, standing parallel to them.
In front of them, there was a straight and gentle Shinto.
