In the afternoon of the second day, we went to Luanchuan and Dongyang Daogou Village.
I was carrying Xiaoxuan on my back, and she twisted her foot just now.
"Fengzi, is this thing easy to use? How to use it? Press this switch?"
What Douyazai is holding is a metal detector. I had a sudden idea and asked Brother Tanbao to deliver them in the morning. They were two second-hand items. I gave Brother Tanbao a thousand yuan.
"Try it, I don't know if it will work."
"This isn't looking for a tomb. You can see the soil quality of the mound. Damn, this is looking for a sword. You can't dig all over the ground, right?"
"Haha, that's right," Douyazai chuckled and suddenly put the metal detector on Xiaoxuan's butt.
Suddenly, there was a beep beep beep of a metal alarm.
"Damn Bean Sprouts! Are you looking for death!"
Douyazai laughed loudly and said: "Zhao Xuanxuan! I knew you had a knife hidden here! Haha Fengzi, this thing works so well! It rings when you touch it."
Xiaoxuan suddenly jumped down from behind me and chased the bean sprouts all over the mountain! I was dumbfounded. Xiaoxuan lied to me again. She didn't twist her feet.
Dongyang Village is full of mud houses and is very poor. There are less than a hundred families living in it, and most of them are elderly.
I gave someone a pack of cigarettes and asked an elderly man about it.
"Uncle, I heard that a Taoist priest Li lived here before? Do you know?"
"What?"
"Taoist! Taoist Master Li from Shifang Temple!"
"Oh, I heard you, please speak louder."
"Yes, that was more than thirty years ago. I still remember that Taoist priest, who was a bit fat and had a long beard."
"Do you know where he lived at that time?"
The uncle pointed to the mountain and said: "Just go up that path and keep going in. There are two old locust trees. There used to be a house in the open space behind the old locust trees, but it collapsed long ago. There is also a monk's tower there.
I don’t know what era it was from.”
We thanked the old man and went to the place he mentioned.
The air in the mountains is fresh, all kinds of vegetation are green and lush, and many birds are chirping non-stop.
I looked around.
Not far away, there was a completely collapsed house. A large number of wooden beams and bricks were lying randomly on the ground, stacked one on top of another. The surface of the rotten wood was also covered with weeds and moss.
Brother Yu suddenly waved to me, "Yunfeng, come here and see if this is the monk tower the old man mentioned."
When I saw it, I found this tower to be very strange. It was made entirely of massive bluestone and was short in height, about one and a half meters tall, reaching Brother Yu's chest.
The top of the tower is spiral-shaped and has three layers. If you don't know what it looks like, let me compare it to the pickles you buy with a pointed spiral shape. They look exactly the same.
Looking down, the inside of the stone tower is hollowed out, and a lot of loess has accumulated inside, almost full.
"Yunfeng, when did this tower come from? What is it used for?"
I shook my head and said, "The style seems to be from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. I'm not sure what it is used for. If it's a Buddhist pagoda, the height doesn't meet the specifications. It might be an offering pagoda."
"Brother Yu, look at this place. It used to be empty, but now it's been filled with soil. Maybe it used to be tributes that the locals used to pray for rain and burn incense."
"Brother Yu, don't worry about this. Let's find him quickly. The boss said we will take the train to Sichuan on Monday."
Then we started to use the treasure detector to find treasures. No wonder others use this tool, it is so useful.
Xiaoxuan squatted on the ground and swept, looking around the collapsed house. Soon, the machine beeped.
Bean Sprout immediately dug down with a shovel, and with several shovels he dug out a large copper coin with a rusty round hole.
I rinsed it briefly with water and found that it was a Taoist-themed coin with text on the front: "Mountain ghosts drive away evil spirits and lower spirits. The Supreme Lord is as urgent as a law and order to forgive."
