Two strings of thousands of firecrackers were set off at the entrance of Tianguangdong Village to celebrate the return of the stone statue of Zaizai Temple.
There are two kinds of rumors in the village about this. The young people talked to each other and said: "Hey brother, you said it for two or three days, why did the clay statue in our village come back by itself? Could it be that it has legs?"
"The fart has long legs. It's obvious that a thief has stolen it. Seeing that we were all trying to catch the thief, we got scared, so we brought the statue back to us."
"Yeah, that makes sense."
Another group of people in the village, the old people headed by Yapo, said that this was the Taoist statue appearing. He knew that our village had suffered a disaster and came back on his own. We must burn incense on time in the future.
Only we outsiders know what happened, and we were the ones who put it back.
We didn't need that little money, because the villagers stopped looking for the statue after it came back. Since the impact was small and the time was short, it didn't attract the attention of the Daoxian County Police Department.
Because Uncle Xue and I had an accident, we rested for two days. That night, we were cooking glutinous rice dumplings and eating them in the house. Suddenly we heard someone knocking on the door and winked at Brother Yu.
"Who?" Brother Yu stopped in front of the door and asked in a deep voice.
The person outside the door said in a low voice: "Old cousin, it's me. Open the door quickly. I've found everything and the people you want."
It's Li Tiecheng, whom I haven't seen for a few days.
Brother Yu opened the door. Besides Li Tiecheng, there was also a middle-aged man standing outside. This man was about fifty years old, a little bald, wearing a red thermal jacket on his upper body, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses.
Welcoming the person in, he turned his head and asked Brother Yu to lock the door.
"boom."
Li Tiecheng put the snakeskin bag on the table and said, "Wang Boss, this is what you want, take a look."
"No one noticed it, right?" asked the head.
"Don't worry, no one will notice. I found him through a relationship with my nephew in Yongzhou. He works as a stall in the fish market."
The bag contains items for diving, such as goggles, fins and a small oxygen bottle.
In the summer of 2002, the Yongzhou Cultural Relics Bureau and the Dao County Government conducted a comprehensive survey of Guizailing. In ancient times, this time they invited folk scholars and folk culture researchers from all over the country, a total of 23 people, to provide resources and equipment, manage food, housing, and transportation. Some of them were also interviewed in the Daoxian documentary filmed later.
, many people appeared on TV.
The man Li Tiecheng found was one of the 23 people that year. I can only say that his surname was Tian.
Their investigation into Guizailing ended up with different opinions, and there were two voices.
More than a dozen of them believe that this is the sacrificial site of "Emperor Shun" in ancient times. These people believe that not far from Tianguangsi Village is Jiuning Mountain, and that there is the "Mausoleum of Emperor Shun" that has not yet been discovered in Jiuning Mountain. This news,
It comes from a silk scroll unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb discovered in 1974.
At that time, the silk scroll was so rotten that it could not be picked up. Archaeologists soaked it in water to restore it and painted on it. The location of Emperor Shun's mausoleum was at Jiuning Mountain.
Quite a few of the stone men on Guizai Ridge sit north and south, looking toward Jiuning Mountain in the distance, like guardians, so they think this is the place where "Shun" is worshiped.
There is also a small group of people who do not agree with this statement, such as those with the surname Tian.
There are two reasons for this. One is that the age span of those stone figures is too big. The early ones are very early, while the later ones are in the late Qing Dynasty. With such a large span, if Guiziling has been worshiped by officials in all dynasties, it will be recorded in the history books.
It is impossible that there has been no record.
The problem is that there is no record, not even mentioned in the local county annals of Dao County. This is the first anomaly.
Second point.
During the Shun and Yu period, the imperial funeral culture had not yet been formed and there was no writing. Even the curator of the Erlitou Museum site said personally: "Our museum can only be said to be a suspected Xia Dynasty site. I hope to be able to prove it definitely one day."
"
If it weren't Shun Ling, then I don't know where this place is.
"The glutinous rice balls are ready."
Xiaoxuanji
Open the lid of the pot and push it back and forth with a spoon.
Dou Sprouts immediately smiled and handed the bowl over, "Hurry up, scoop me some black sesame fillings, let me check if they are cooked."
"You are a pig?"
Xiaoxuan pushed away the bowl of bean sprouts with a spoon and said, "You have eaten more than 20 pieces just now. Yunfeng and Brother Yu haven't tasted it yet, so get out."
"you are a pig!"
"If you don't serve it to me, I will catch it myself!" .??.
"Yeah, don't grab the spoon!"
I smiled and said, Xiaoxuan, please let him eat. After he is full, he will have to rely on his efforts later.
"That's right! It's up to me to help! Give it to me!"
Bean Sprout picked up the stuffed black sesame and took a bowl for himself. He couldn't wait to take a bite, but it was too hot and burned him.
He raised his head and said with a smile: "The glutinous rice balls are ready. Brother Tian came so far and wanted to eat some too."
"Forget it, I've eaten it."
This man was very open-minded. He said that since I have collected your money, I won’t ask you what you do, you just tell me when to start.
Being able to drag this man down will be of great help to our group. After all, this guy surnamed Tian has been studying Guiziling for more than ten years.
"hehe."
Tou Tou smiled and said: "That's natural, but we are not in a hurry. We have encountered some problems that we haven't figured out yet." As he spoke, Tou Tou told me about the poisoning in the pond a few days ago by Uncle Xue.
After hearing this, Lao Tian frowned and thought for a while, then he suddenly took out a small map from his bag.
I don't understand it very well. It should be a hand-drawn geological map around Daoxian County.
Opening the map to the ground, Lao Tian said: "The ponds around Guizaipo should have underground rivers. I noticed this back then and later did a lot of research based on geology."
"Look here."
"This is the Yin Yang Cave not far from Guizailing. In the 1970s, hundreds of stone statues were discovered in the cave. It is the same style as Guizailing. I once asked a friend who is engaged in geology. My friend believed that tens of thousands of years ago, the Yin and Yang Cave should have been buried under the water. After the water receded, it collapsed into a valley, forming a valley.
The Yin Yang Cave."
"Hunan has a rainy season, and we discovered many karst landforms near Daoxian County. It is estimated that after the water level dropped many years ago, the underground river dropped to a deeper place."
Speaking of this, he moved his fingers slowly: "The underground river slowly flows under Guizailing. There are limestone mountains with large gaps. Rainwater seeps down along these gaps and eventually flows into the underground river.
It forms a reservoir that we can’t see.”
"If the reservoir is stored for a long time, it will dissolve the underground limestone and release a large amount of bicarbonate. Sodium bicarbonate is unstable. Once too much is deposited in the underground river, it will decompose into carbonate, carbon dioxide and water."
Speaking of which, he clicked on Guizailing marked on the geological map.
"There is a hole under the pond, which allows a large amount of stored carbon dioxide to spray up along the water flow. In a short period of time, the air is filled with a large amount of gas that is invisible to the naked eye, which is why you were in trouble before."
"This statement is completely valid, but there is one thing I don't understand and it has been bothering me."
Lao Tian frowned at us and asked: "To form such a high concentration of carbon dioxide, what is missing?"
Just listening to him talk, Dou Sprout didn't even swallow the glutinous rice balls he bit into.
Brother Yu and I looked at each other, eyes wide open. We don’t know.
Lao Tian said in surprise: "You don't know how simple it is? Haven't you ever gone to school?"
"This." I said that I had been there before but had forgotten about it.
Douyazai swallowed the glutinous rice balls in one gulp, nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, I forgot, just tell me."
"Why."
He sighed, looked down at the ground and whispered, "It's dilute hydrochloric acid."
"I think there may have been something underground that rotted a lot."
