In the blink of an eye, a full half a year has passed since the sea monster attack, and Lu Yuan has been concentrating on cultivation for the past half a year.

With the help of the futon, today he finally broke through the third layer of qi training, and with the breakthrough in cultivation, Lu Yuan's speed of performing the water escape technique was also faster.

After testing, he can now reach speeds of up to 300 kilometers per hour in the water.

Not only that, but he also found that he could already learn the second Earth Escape Technique in the Five Elements Escape Technique.

In Lu Yuan's opinion, this earth escape technique is even more useful than the water escape technique, with the earth escape technique, he can explore the infinite secrets buried underground.

After all, human civilization is mainly a terrestrial civilization, and there should be more secrets buried on land than in the ocean.

In order to master the "Earth Escape Technique" as soon as possible, Lu Yuan did not choose to rest after breaking through the third layer of Qi training, but continued to choose retreat after returning to the mainland to replenish basic daily necessities.

Two months later, Lu Yuan's Earth Escape Technique finally started, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar under the excitement.

Fortunately, there was no one around the place where he was cultivating, so he didn't have to worry about being taken as a madman.

"From now on, I am the legendary Tuxingsun!"

"Hahaha......" Lu Yuan couldn't help laughing again.

After learning the Earth Escape Technique, Lu Yuan couldn't help but want to try the effect of the Earth Escape Technique, and then he thought of his hometown of Xishu.

Lu Yuan's hometown, Yunmeng Village, belongs to the Jiazhou region, and Lu Yuan grew up listening to the story of the Jiazhou Giant Buddha since he was a child.

Jiazhou Giant Buddha is the world's largest stone carving Maitreya sitting Buddha, the Buddha statue sits on the mountain, and the mountain is as high, the momentum is magnificent, solemn and solemn, after thousands of years without falling, it is considered to be a miracle in the history of stone carving.

Most of the mountains in the Jiazhou region are composed of red sandstone, which is characterized by its softness and loose texture.

Lu Yuan remembered that when he was a child, he often broke down the red sandstone and crushed it to play.

So when he was young, Lu Yuan was very strange, why is the big Buddha all polished by red sandstone still not bad after so many years?

Moreover, the location of the Buddha is also very unfavorable for the preservation of the statue.

The location of the Jiazhou Giant Buddha is at the confluence of the three rivers of the Dadu River, the Tsing Yi River and the Min River in the south of Jiazhou City.

Red sandstone absorbs water very easily, but when exposed to sunlight, it evaporates very quickly. Under thermal expansion and cold contraction, red sandstone is very easy to naturally fragment.

When he was a child, Lu Yuan often carved various things out of red sandstone, and this place in Jiazhou is actually very humid, and the temperature is also very high.

When Lu Yuan was a child, all kinds of things carved in red sandstone often broke off by themselves within a few days.

So in his eyes, the Jiazhou Giant Buddha is really amazing.

Later, when he grew up, Lu Yuan saw it from various materials.

The reason why the Jiazhou Giant Buddha has not been bad for more than 1,000 years is mainly because it was exquisitely designed when it was built.

The head of the Big Buddha has 18 layers of snails, a total of 1051. The 4th, 9th and 18th floors of the eighteen layers are each carved with a drainage ditch.

These drainage ditches are connected layer by layer, and no matter how small the rain is, it will not silt up.

In addition, there are ditches connecting the collar, the folds of the collar, the front of the chest, and the back of the right arm.

In addition, there are a large number of caves that can be used for drainage, and some caves are spread all over the body of the Buddha.

A complete ventilation and drainage system is formed.

In addition, the Big Buddha sits in the east and faces west, just in the shade of the Lingyun Mountain Qiluan Peak, and the Big Buddha is in the depression of the mountain cliff, except when the sun goes down, it is difficult for the sun to shine on the Big Buddha at other times.

According to local legend in Jiazhou, only a small part of the funds were actually used to build the Buddha, and the rest was hidden inside the Buddha.

Decades ago, a staff member discovered a hidden hole in the heart of the Buddha.

Because the entrance of the cave is right in the heart, it is named the Hidden Dirt Cave.

The hole is more than 3 meters high, 1 meter wide and 2 meters deep. The sealing stone is made of the Song Dynasty "reconstruction of the remnants of the Tianning Pavilion Chronicle".

After the hole was opened, there was only some scrap metal inside.

After this incident, most experts believe that the treasure of the Great Buddha is nothing more than a fictitious thing, and even if it exists, it has already been taken away.

But the local elders in Jiazhou do not agree with this statement.

Because of the so-called dirty hole, the locals have known about its existence for a long time, and it was originally used to place tools.

According to the legend of word of mouth, the treasure of the Great Buddha is in another place, and it has nothing to do with the hidden dirty cave at all.

Lu Yuan has been very interested in the legend and treasure of the Big Buddha since he was a child, and he didn't have the ability to explore it before, but now that he has the ability, he naturally wants to explore it.

Lu Yuan bought a ticket from Gangcheng to Jinguancheng the next day, and then began to meditate and rest.

At 10:40 a.m. the next day, Lu Yuan returned to Jinguancheng.

At the bus terminal next to the airport, I bought a bus ticket to Jiazhou.

Lu Yuanyi saw that the departure time was 11:20, and there were still 40 minutes to go.

After thinking about it, he walked into a bean flower restaurant next to the station.

This bean curd rice is also a special food of Xishu and is one of the most popular foods in Xishu.

Many Xishu people not only eat bean curd rice for breakfast, but also eat bean curd rice for lunch and dinner.

When Lu Yuan walked into the store, because he hadn't yet arrived, there were not many people in the store, except for Lu Yuan, there were only four people.

An old man in his seventies, and two men and one woman and three college students in their twenties.

It seems that it should be a teacher-student relationship, and one of the boys is introducing the eating habits of Xishu to the old man.

Because he was attracted by the old man's temperament, Lu Yuan couldn't help but look at the old man.

The old man felt something, and he also turned his head and nodded to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan also smiled in return.

After sitting down, Lu Yuan ordered a bean curd rice and ate it quietly.

As he ate, he listened to the four people chatting next to him.

From the conversation between the four people, Lu Yuan learned that the old man turned out to be a university professor, and the other three were all students he led.

The destination of the four of them this time is actually the same as themselves, it is also the Jiazhou Giant Buddha.

However, the old man wants to take the students to study the history of the Buddha, while Lu Yuan is worried about the treasure of the Buddha.

After Lu Yuan finished eating, he returned to the station alone, just as the car began to check the tickets.

Lu Yuan got into the car and walked to his seat. Seeing that there were still 8 minutes before the train left, he simply closed his eyes and recuperated.

A few minutes later, Lu Yuan felt someone walking up to him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was the female student among the four people in the old man's group.

"Hello, is the 18th here?"

Lu Yuan looked up at the number on the luggage rack, "Yes, this is the 18th!"

"Thank you!" the girl thanked and sat down beside Lu Yuan.

After a while, the car started and slowly drove out of the station.

Perhaps because of boredom, the girl took the initiative to greet Lu Yuan: "Hello, my name is Sun Jia, I don't know what to call my eldest brother?"

Lu Yuan was stunned, "Hello, my name is Lu Yuan!"

"Lu Yuan!"

"It's the same name as that Great Treasure Explorer!"

"Is the eldest brother from Xishu?"

Lu Yuan nodded and said, "I'm from Xishu Jiazhou!"

"Wow, it's really a coincidence, I heard that which great treasure explorer is also from Jiazhou!"

"Big brother, you are all from Jiazhou, have you ever met!"

"I haven't seen him, but I've heard of his name and things!"

The girl's enthusiasm made Lu Yuan feel a little strange.

When I first met the four of them in the hotel, I never saw her say a word.

"Is she suspicious of something?"

Lu Yuan shook his head, it shouldn't be, his current appearance may not even be recognized by his parents.

Not to mention a stranger who has never met before.

In fact, not only Lu Yuan was strange, but Sun Jia herself was also very strange about her actions.

On weekdays, I rarely take the initiative to talk to people, but today I took the initiative to talk to a stranger for the first time, and the other party actually ignored me.

The two chatted with each other along the way, and Sun Jia always talked more and Lu Yuan said less.

Jiazhou is not far from Jinguancheng, and after about 2 hours, the car drove into Jiazhou Bus Station.

When he was about to get out of the car, Sun Jia took the initiative to give his mobile phone number to Lu Yuan.

Out of politeness, Lu Yuan also gave her a business card.

After the two separated, Lu Yuan smiled unconsciously and saved Sun Jia's phone number into his mobile phone.

Then a man walked out of the station, and in his mind it was just one of countless chance encounters in his life.

It should be said that the scenery of Jiaxing city is still very good, but in Lu Yuan's eyes, his hometown Yunmeng Village is better.

The urban area of Jiazhou is only twenty kilometers away from Lu Yuan's village, and Lu Yuan originally planned to go back and have a look, but after thinking about it, he still gave up.

Since he was a child, Lu Yuan has been a person who is afraid of trouble, and he is worried that he will be recognized after returning to the village.

Then comes a series of troubles.

After walking around the city, Lu Yuan found a small hotel on the other side of the Jiazhou Giant Buddha before dark and stayed there.

Although the hotel is not big and the decoration is not luxurious, it is very clean. The price is also very cheap.

Nowadays, it is difficult to find such a clean, hygienic and inexpensive hotel near scenic spots in China.

Lu Yuan took a shower in the room, changed his clothes, and prepared to visit the night market in Jiazhou.

There is a lot of food on the Jiaxing night market, even more than Jinguancheng, which is known as the capital of food. Half of the signature dishes in Sichuan cuisine are from Jiazhou.

Just arrived at the hotel lobby, Lu Yuan couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect to meet Sun Jia and the four of them again.

"Brother Lu, what a coincidence, do you also live here?"

"yes, why did you come here too?"

"The teacher said that living here is closer to the Big Buddha, and it can save a lot of time when working later, so we moved here!"

"In this way, it seems that your teacher is really a real scholar!"

"Lu Yuan, isn't this Lu Yuan! Old classmate, when are you coming back......
