In the middle of the night, Leng Buding saw a man squatting in the small garden, which scared everyone.
There were no street lights in Ziwei Square, so I slowly walked closer with my mobile phone to illuminate it. I wanted to see what the old man was doing sneakily.
Because of the sound of running water and the fact that his back was turned to me, the old man squatting next to the holly didn't notice me.
"uncle!"
"Lie." ??
The old man jumped up in fright at my sudden voice. When he saw clearly that it was me, he suppressed the curse words.
"Ahem. Why is it you again, young man? You don't go to bed at what time and you still come out for a walk."
In the middle of winter, I saw that he was wearing a pair of rain boots. There was water everywhere in the small garden, and it had already reached the top of his feet.
"Uncle, didn't you water it at noon? Then water it again at night? It won't freeze for a while?" I asked.
"fine."
The old man took a dip in his rain boots and said with a relaxed smile: "I will plant more hollies in a day or two. If the soil is too dry, it will not survive. Watering more is to water the soil thoroughly. It is better to move it here."
live."
"Stop looking, go back to sleep, young man, it's so cold outside.
I don't know how to care for plants and flowers, I just think this old man is a little strange.
morning.
Yang Kun asked Tingting to watch from the first floor, while the rest of us held a meeting on the second floor and all expressed our opinions.
"Old Ma, you got rid of those snakes. They look disgusting. You can't dig a hole and bury them in the backyard."
"Xiao Feng, you heard what we talked about just now. If there is nothing in it, then all our work will be in vain." Yang Kun looked at me and asked.
"Fifty thousand is gone, hey!" The water pump lost its energy like a deflated rubber ball.
Although some things were unclear, Tian Sanjiu asked me to help this group of people enter the underground palace, so I thought about it and said: "You can't say this yet, Brother Yang, look, we have been doing this for a few days, no
How can we feel at ease when we go in? There is a new robbery cave now, which can still be used after cleaning. If this robbery cave leads to the underground palace, don’t you want to go in and have a look? "
"Um."
Yang Kun kept tapping the table with his fingers: "What do you mean, are we going to get through the burglary hole?"
"Yes, there is a gap in that hole. If we figure it out, there will be less After digging more than 100 meters, I estimate that we can enter the underground palace in one or two days, or at most three days."
"Boss, I think what this guy said makes sense. If we don't go in and take a look, our work will be in vain, and your activity funds will also be wasted."
I glanced at Wei Xiaogang, but I didn't expect him to speak for me at this time.
"Then. What to do with the dead?"
I said don't worry about the body, we don't move, it's not the person we harmed, just keep it as it is.
"Okay, let's do it!"
Yang Kun went to buy some new leather barrels in the afternoon to hold soil. He said that he originally wanted to borrow a slide truck from his brother Yang Bin, but the slide was too troublesome to install and the volume was too big to hide.
Wait quietly until night.
At night, I looked through the window and saw that no one was around the square. Pump and I put on headlights and climbed down the ladder.
Because the bandit's narrow body had limited range of motion, Water Pump and I carried leather buckets and shovels and kept crawling forward.
When he reached the end, the water pump looked up, pointed to the top and said, "Where is the top here?"
I looked back and said, "We should be approaching the ancient pagoda. Don't ask, just hurry up and be gentle. I'm afraid some of the boards may be unstable."
The water pump nodded, and he half-knelt on the ground and began to dig the soil.
This soil is backfill soil. It must have been turned over before. It is not solid and will fall down when the iron pick touches it.
After a few minutes, the water pump signaled to me: "Let's go, it's full."
I carried the bucket and walked about a hundred meters. I saw a rope coming down. After tying it, I shouted up: "Old horse, pull."
The leather bucket filled with soil was slowly pulled up, and less than a minute later, the empty bucket was sent down again.
The work is repeated in this way, taking turns between two shifts.
At around ten o'clock on the night of the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, we saw bricks, three-inch-thick blue bricks, also called tomb bricks.
The tomb bricks are gray and dark in color, with a layer of dust falling on them, and are very dry.
These bricks are not laid horizontally, but vertically. They are about two meters high. The center of the brick wall
There is a large hole less than one meter in diameter, and bricks are scattered under the hole.
After Yang Bin climbed in, he put his headlight in to take a look, and said, "This should be the foundation of the underground palace tower. God of Wealth bless me. Damn it, I must leave something for you."
There is a common sense that brick pagoda underground palaces are generally not big, with one to three huts, most of which are a secret room. This is the case for Kaiyuan Temple Pagoda and Baiyi Temple Pagoda in Lanzhou. This is my first time to enter an ancient pagoda underground palace.
"Don't fucking push me, why are you pushing me?"
"Keep your voice down, it's not easy to get in here. I'll hold your butt so you can get in."
"Stop yelling, get in the water pump first."
Lao Ma and I held up the water pump and let him get through first.
"How's it going? What's the situation over there?"
After dozens of seconds, the excited sound of the water pump came from behind the wall.
"Come here, boss! There's something!" ??
"It's great this time! I saw several little golden Buddhas!"
"Golden Buddha!"
Yang Kun said excitedly: "Quickly! Look at it and let me in."
He stepped on the bricks and quickly got in through the hole in the brick wall, and I followed behind.
The underground palace is not large, more than 20 square meters. It is very dark and quiet.
I looked back and forth with my headlamp on.
There are more than a dozen small niches dug into the brick walls of the underground palace. There seem to be things placed in each niche, including dusty Buddha statues, incense burners, and some things wrapped in gauze, which may be handwritten Buddhist scriptures.
A type of small object.
Walking two steps forward, there is a stone table in the north of the underground palace. The stone table is also covered with a layer of dust, and there are several things placed on it.
A pair of small pagodas made of white crystal can be recognized at a glance. The middle part of the white crystal is hollowed out, and some small things like jelly beans are placed inside.
This is the crystal stupa
That's not all. In the middle of a pair of crystal stupas, there is a base carved with bluestone lotus. The yellow cloth covering the lotus seat has been somewhat weathered, and something is exposed.
It is a small coffin the size of a palm. The small coffin has two layers and is golden yellow on the outside. , the inside is silvery white, and is a mini gold coffin and silver coffin made of pure gold and sterling silver. The hairpins around the small coffin are engraved with the Buddhist Eight Treasures pattern, the wheel spiral umbrella cover, and the fish intestines in the flower pot. It is heavy in the hand.
, overall, it is exquisite.
Yang Kun couldn't believe it, he rubbed his eyes vigorously.
"Fat. Faded. Us. Did we make it? How come we still have such a good baby!"
"Old Ma, put it in a sack quickly!"
"Boss, come and see! There is another maza here!" the water pump shouted.
The water pump is not talking about Mazar. This is the first time I have seen that thing.
It was an iron cage made like a horse, with a square piece of bluestone placed in the middle. The middle of the bluestone was hollowed out to make a box similar to a heaven and earth cover. There were rows of words engraved on the surface of the stone box.
"In the fifth year of the reign of Emperor You of the Song Dynasty, the age of Gui, in the eighth month of Siqiu, on the fourteenth day of the month, the Yuchi family supervised the construction of a royal pagoda."
"The stonemason is doing his work every week, so he offers a pearl and a lot of money as an offering to my Buddha."
"Wang Tong of Yuxing Tower presented two gold hairpins and three pieces of silk and satin."
.etc. are all records like this.
"Damn it, it's so heavy. Boss, what is this thing? Is it worth anything?" The water pump tried the weight and tried to lift the thing.
"This is a stone box, right?"
Yang Kun pointed and said, "Didn't you see what's written on it? Copper coins, gold hairpins, and orbs are all hidden inside. This is a treasure, worth at least one hundred thousand yuan."
Yang Kun didn't recognize it, but my heart was beating fast. This was more than 100,000.
This is an offering stone culvert, which is the same as the stone culvert unearthed from Famen Temple, but that one is bigger and this one is smaller.
The King Pagoda is the Ashoka Pagoda. Judging from the area of the stone culvert, the Ashoka Pagoda inside should not be big.
I didn't have time to take a closer look, so I just glanced at this small underground palace, the white crystal stupa, the mini gold coffin and silver coffin, the stone han that Huang You donated for five years, and the Asoka Pagoda that I didn't see.
These are all first-class cultural relics.
Anyone who dares to take one away.
Basically, we have to start talking about it ten years ago.
