At 11 o'clock that night, everyone gathered in the open space outside the camp.
Jiu Qingshui, Zhu Baokou, Lao Xuexue, Luo Kashan, Xiao Kai, and Jack Ma all camped in their own camp and stood in a row. We followed behind the leader and stood at the inconspicuous edge.
The night breeze blows and the yellow sand dances.
Dozens of powerful flashlights were turned on at the same time, illuminating the area around the camp as if it were daytime.
Jiu Qingshui, wearing a high-collar cotton jacket, walked to the middle.
The woman looked around with a cold eyebrow and said in a cold voice: "You all come from all over the world. I think you all know why you are here."
"As a female prostitute, I, Jiu Qingshui, have been able to survive today only because of the support of my brothers on the road. Once there is chaos, there will be death and injury. And you, you," she raised her hand and pointed one by one and said: "There will be some among you."
I will stay in Alxa forever, there will be no chance of me seeing my parents again, and no chance of being reunited with my children."
"In the war years, we robbed and dug up graves just for one bite to eat."
"In times of peace, we rob and dig graves for a bunch of money."
"Let's not talk about our father's generation for now," Jiu Qingshui pointed at himself and said, "In my generation, I, Jiu Qingshui, have not sold even half of the cultural relics abroad."
After she said this, she waved her hand.
Soon, four men came over carrying something. The thing was covered with red cloth, so its true appearance could not be seen clearly.
The four of them put their things gently on the ground and stepped back one by one.
Then, Jiu Qingshui walked aside and reached out to grab a corner of the red cloth.
Pull hard.
moment!
All the flashlights were aimed at this place.
When I saw what was under the red cloth, I felt like my breathing was about to stop.
It is a Buddha statue over one meter high. The Buddha statue has a U-shaped open collar and sits cross-legged. The Buddha's chest is fluttering, and his hands are hanging down naturally in the mudra. Looking up, the male face of the Buddha statue is open, because the material is dry and cracked.
, from the mouth to the top of the head, there was a shocking wound, and on both sides of the crack were the left and right eyes.
The Buddha's eyes looked down, as if he were standing on the universe and looking down at all living beings. Under his eyelids, there were two black glazes sliding down, as if he had shed two drops of black tears.
Under the crack is a mouth full of dry cracks. The tearful lips pursed slightly, evoking a faint smile. This smile seemed to give people hope from the bottom of their hearts, making those who saw it subconsciously want to worship.
A thousand-year smile.
This is the national treasure of Xixia Buddhist Kingdom.
Lingwu Tears Buddha.
Late at night, deep in the Alxa Desert.
With so many flashlights shining on it, it was as if there was a halo of light behind the Tearing Buddha. This scene is something I will never forget.
At this time, Jiu Qingshui said: "In front of the Buddha, you should bow down."
After she finished speaking, she knelt down on her knees and kowtowed.
The person protecting Jiu Qingshui was a middle-aged man.
This man had thin features, terrifyingly cold eyes, and a pigtail on the back of his head.
Seeing Jiu Qingshui kneeling down.
He immediately looked around and said angrily to everyone:
