Chapter 613: The Legend of Crouching Dragon Mountain

More than half an hour later, archaeological experts from the town and county arrived at the scene.

Not many people came, only a dozen or so.

"Everyone let it go."

Before several archaeological experts came to the foundation pit, they were about to ask the surrounding villagers to leave.

The villagers were unhappy when they heard this.

"Why let us go, this is the territory of our village, you outsiders dare to point fingers at us?"

Soon, the villagers were uproarious.

The archaeologists couldn't do anything about it, so they hurriedly sent someone to find the village chief.

Xin Lei hurried to the front with Wu Xiaoshan.

Wu Xiaoshan turned his head to look at the people around him, and shouted, "Stand back, don't make trouble here."

For other things, Wu Xiaoshan's words are still useful.

But this matter, few people really listen to him.

"Xiao Shan, this isn't your property either, why are you here shouting at us?"

"We all have a share in the treasure buried here, so we have to watch it here, so as not to be stolen by these outsiders!"

Wu Xiaoshan almost lost his temper, thinking that these people had disgraced Wolong Village too much.

The things buried underneath are not theirs, but the country's.

Even if the treasure is dug up, it cannot be sold for money.

"Everyone listen to me."

Seeing that the villagers were unwilling to leave, Xin Lei could only persuade them loudly.

"What is buried under the ground is still unclear for the time being. Only by digging it out can it reflect its due value. In this regard, archaeological experts are more experienced than us. So please don't make trouble here, so as not to affect them Work."

"Village Chief, you still understand us."

An old expert listened to Xin Lei's words and nodded with a smile.

After saying this, the old expert turned to the surrounding villagers and loudly persuaded them.

"On the way here, we checked the local chronicles and found that there is likely to be a temple buried here. There may be some holes in it. There are so many of you standing here, walking back and forth, it is likely to cause a collapse. When the time comes Destroy everything inside!"

The villagers who were unwilling to leave at first heard that the ground below might be empty, and standing here might have trampled on the buried temple below.

Immediately, all of them showed signs of worry and retreated one after another.

After a while, there were not many people around.

"Expert, are you sure this is a temple?"

Wu Xiaoshan was very curious. Could it be possible to figure out what is going on here by referring to local chronicles?
The old expert nodded and said with a serious face: "Generally speaking, local chronicles will record some major changes in the local area. Things like natural and man-made disasters will be clearly remembered. It is indeed recorded that a temple was built here. It is said that It was built by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

As soon as these words came out, Wu Xiaoshan felt as if he had taken a reassurance.

Unexpectedly, what Old Man Li said was right at all, this place is really a royal temple of the Ming Dynasty.

"Expert, if it is a royal temple in the Ming Dynasty, it must be very luxurious, right?"

Wu Xiaoshan immediately asked the expert excitedly.

Hearing this, the old expert couldn't help laughing.

"Who said it was a royal temple? The local chronicles say that this temple was built by the emperor's order, but it is not a royal temple. Although the size may not be too small, it is definitely not a particularly luxurious one."

Your grandfather's, white excitement, feelings are just an ordinary temple?
Seeing the disappointed expression on Wu Xiaoshan's face, the expert smiled and comforted: "Don't be so disappointed, this temple is still of great archaeological value, and it will be of great help to the study of ancient Buddhist culture."

Xin Lei listened carefully from the side, feeling that the experts already had a detailed understanding of this place before they came, so she asked about the specific situation seriously.

"You always explain to us what is going on in the temple below."

Hearing Xin Lei's words, the old expert turned around and said to one of his colleagues: "You preside over the work first, and let people go down and get some bricks and tiles up."

The other party nodded, and went to greet people to go down into the foundation pit.

Looking back, the old expert explained it to Wu Xiaoshan and others in detail.

"It is stated in the local chronicles that this temple was built in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, when the Ming Dynasty was at its most powerful. The name of this temple is Jianglong Temple, and it is dedicated to Jianglong Arhat."

"Subduing Dragon Arhat?" Wu Xiaoshan frowned, thought for a while and said, "I've heard of those who worship Tathagata Avalokitesvara and Samantabhadra Manjusri, but I've never heard of those who worship Arhats."

The old expert shook his head with a smile, and said with a helpless smile: "Young man, you know too little about Buddhism. You may be puzzled when I say Dragon Subduing Arhat, but if I tell him his Dharma name, you will definitely know it." What's going on."

"Xiaoshan, don't interrupt, let the old expert continue."

Xin Lei couldn't help but give Wu Xiaoshan a blank look.

Angrily, he slandered that he didn't understand anything, so he messed up something.

"Daoji!"

Upon hearing the Dharma name given by the old expert, Xin Lei immediately asked in surprise, "Jigong Living Buddha?"

"That's right, it's Jigong Living Buddha."

The old expert looked at Xin Lei with a smile and continued.

"It is said that Jigong Living Buddha is the reincarnation of Jianglong Arhat. He is a learned and accomplished eminent monk. He is loved by the common people, and this temple in your village is dedicated to him."

Wu Xiaoshan didn't interrupt anymore, but he still knew Jigong very well.

After all, he watched Jigong TV series when he was a child, and he can still hum a few words of that theme song now.

"There is also a legend recorded in the local chronicles. It is said that when the living Buddha Jigong traveled here, he found that the place was dry and rainless. He calculated it and found that there was an evil dragon. place, to bless the weather here every year.”

It was the first time for Wu Xiaoshan and other villagers to hear this legend.

They all felt curious and surprised, after all, the elders in the family had never said anything about it.

"It is precisely because of this legend that this mountain was named Wolong Mountain. The people around have become believers of Jigong Living Buddha and guarded it for generations. There's a disaster."

After talking about the legend, the old expert turned to look at the completed farmhouse in the distance.

Immediately, he said meaningfully: "I think your village is planning to develop the tourism industry. If this temple can be excavated, it will have a major impact on the development of your village. The development of a place depends not only on the The scenery needs to be integrated into the local culture.”

The old expert's words made Wu Xiaoshan and Xin Lei very educated.

Indeed, if there is cultural influence, the reputation of Wolong Village will be raised to another level.

The staff who had just entered the foundation pit climbed up, with a few more bricks in their hands.

The old expert looked at it carefully, nodded at them, and then looked at Xin Lei and Wu Xiaoshan again.

"It's winter right now, which is not conducive to archaeological excavation. So this place has to be protected for the time being, and we can talk about it in the next spring. You have to pay attention to this matter, if those criminals take advantage of the loopholes, you may Trouble!"

Xin Lei nodded solemnly and agreed: "Old expert, don't worry about this matter, I will never let the property in the village be damaged!"

For this matter, Wu Xiaoshan was very distressed.

The spring of the coming year will take at least three months.

For such a long time, with the villagers alone, can they keep this treasure?
