Chapter 60
Fan Yu was completely depressed now. He pointed to his cell phone and said to everyone: "I don't care what kind of treatment, Xiao Lin just called. The picture of Magu's birthday that was found in Zhao Shuqin's house is fine. They are carrying out a blanket search. But there are too many places to hide in a painting. Although people have already taken hold of it, they just refuse to explain the problem. What do you think we should do?"

"Don't you still have Director Deng in charge? Why are you anxious?"

"Think about what the leader wants and worry about what the leader is worried about." Fan Yu scratched his neck, obviously frightened by Guan Zihe's treatment methods and determined to leave.

"I've given the injection and it will last for twelve hours. It won't be contagious or get worse." After Guan Zihe finished speaking, he didn't hold back and waited for Lao Chaofeng to make a decision.

When Fan Yu heard this, he immediately patted his chest and assured: "Twelve hours is enough."

"That's true. If you still can't get that lady in twelve hours, Fan Chu won't be able to sit still in this position." Lao Chaofeng said and ignored him. Instead, he turned to He Si, "After watching the excitement here, Are you tired?"

"I?"

Before He Si could react, Fan Yu immediately heard the implication of Lao Chaofeng's words and asked immediately: "Uncle Qin also arranged a program?"

"You only have twelve hours."

"Then Director Deng is still in charge, isn't it?"

"Think about what the leader thinks and worry about what the leader is anxious about." Qin Jian reminded him slowly.

Fan Yu choked on his own words, but still couldn't hold it in. He looked at his old face and said, "Uncle Qin is also my leader."

"Don't dare."

"I'm actually a little tired." He Si really didn't want to see Fan Yu continue to pester, so she took the initiative.

"That's right." Fan Yu just pretended that he couldn't hear the perfunctoriness in it and immediately returned, "You go and have a rest first. After I finish the work, come back and report the good news to Uncle Qin and Miss He."

Lao Chaofeng ignored him and walked out the door with a flick of his sleeves. He Si quickly followed, not knowing where he was going, but just followed step by step. Fan Yu took out his mobile phone with satisfaction and began to assign new tasks. .

"Really tired?"

As soon as He Si walked out of the gate of the castle, she saw that the old Chaofeng who was one step ahead of her had changed his appearance. He changed his impatient look and was looking down at her with a smile on his lips.The warm voice invaded her ears, and as if she was fascinated, she actually saw a look of expectation in Qin Jianbo's shining eyes.

"Well, I'm not tired actually." He Si shook her head honestly, recalled the two secret room experiences again, and asked, "Mr. Qin, do you still have anything to ask me about?"

"Would you like to see the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara statue?"

The coaxing voice overflowed from the man's red lips. When He Si heard the words, she was confused at first, then surprised, and then, a delicate joy gradually flowed from her heart to her limbs.

"Really!"

"Is there any place in particular you want to visit?"

"Dazu Baoding Mountain." As soon as He Si answered, she heard the gentle male voice say the name of the place along with her, and she couldn't help but look up.On this deserted island, the rising sun was rising from the sea level. The warm and golden color penetrated the blue and cold water, and the sparkling light reflected behind the man, filling He Si's sight.

"You already knew." She lowered her head.

"When Fan Yu talked about the restoration of the Thousand-Hand Guanyin of the Southern Song Dynasty on Baoding Mountain in Dazu in 2011, you didn't hide your envious look." Qin Jian said jokingly with a knowing smile in his eyes.

He Si's face turned red again. Although she was withdrawn and reserved, she could rarely hide her emotions on her face, because there was no need - for whom would a person who no one pays attention to act for.

But now, she seems to have really gained a few friends, friends who care about her, friends who are close to each other for their lives.

Fan Yu, Jiang Huai, Liu Rui, Guan Zihe.

Lao Chaofeng, Qin Jian...

Is it a friend?He Si couldn't explain clearly.

Do you like this feeling?He Si couldn't see her true feelings clearly either.

She doesn't like to be involved, and she doesn't like to get stuck in a sticky back and forth.She looks alienated, timid and cautious, but in fact she is neat and free, like a wild rose emerging from the cracks in the stones in the wasteland. She doesn't even have the branches and vines to grow with her. She blooms as she pleases, beautiful, but also lonely.

Therefore, the feeling of being placed in my heart is strange, but I also seem to like it.

He Si was still exploring the maze of her own mind. The door behind her was opened again. Fan Yu walked out of the door without looking at the two of them. The car keychain was spinning on his fingertips: "Hey, why are you still dawdling? Haven’t you decided where to rest yet?”

He Si was a little nervous. After all, the current Qin Jian was not the same as the old court. It was obvious that Fan Yu looked completely unaware. Thinking of Qin Jian's words - the world is full of things that everyone turns a blind eye to. I feel like I'm being too preoccupied.

Only I am special. This realization made her excited, and she recalled the words of Qin Jian, who was still the old Chaofeng at that time - weird, different, unique, and maverick, they all mean the same thing.It seemed that he recognized her specialness from the moment they met.

Qin Jian seemed to notice He Si's nervousness for a moment, and blinked at her. He Si couldn't help but put this expression on Lao Chaofeng's serious face, and while nervous, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of secrecy. happiness.

This series of expressions looked suspicious in Fan Yu's eyes.

"He Si, what's your expression like? It's so nervous and exciting. You two are not going to do something big without telling me!"

"No!" He Si denied, but her face was filled with an expression of "Oh, I've been discovered."

Qin Jian turned his face away, and even Fan Yu couldn't help laughing. His curiosity was completely aroused: "Look at your potential, tell me, where are you going? Can I still rely on you?"

"It's none of your business." The Guanyin statue was not a place of confidentiality, but for some reason, He Si felt that it was a little secret hidden in her heart and didn't want to share it with Fan Yu.

"I just said last night that I would call him Brother Fan from now on, but as soon as the sun comes up, he turns his back on me and refuses to recognize me?" He Si couldn't cope with the thick-skinned Fan Yu, and Qin Jian, for the first time, didn't help her out. She was nervous and happy. , Naughty, shy... The girl's expression became more and more vivid under the background of the morning sun. Qin Jianzheng was staring at it in a daze, and suddenly felt a little warmth coming from his fingertips. He lowered his head and realized that his hand was being held.

"Come on."

Before Qin Jian came back to his senses, He Si had already pulled him towards the fountain in front of him, and the flying hair almost touched his face with the girl's fragrance.

He didn't even have time to prepare when he heard a pop and the girl just jumped into the water regardless.When the surface of the pool water came into contact with He Si's shoes, a few water splashes fell on her sports pants.Then Qin Jian's long legs quickly stepped in, and the cold pool water instantly solidified into a mirror. The splashes rolled down and turned into droplets of water on the mirror.The two of them disappeared in front of Fan Yu, and the water droplets finally merged into the cold pool again.

This was originally a beautiful scene of two people running hand in hand, full of youthful vitality, but in Fan Yu's eyes, it turned out that Lao Chao Feng failed to do what he wanted, and was dragged by the girl to the fountain, while a very disproportionate look appeared on his old-fashioned and serious face. Weird smile.

"It's so ugly. The old tree is really blooming with new flowers." Fan Yu couldn't help but shook his head and complained.

Of course, He Si didn't hear Fan Yu's complaints. The next moment, she walked through the mirror corridor and stood in front of the cliff carvings on Dazu Baoding Mountain.Although she had already heard that this was the largest cliff-carved stone statue in my country that was carved, painted, and gilded, when she actually saw it, she was still shocked by the imposing manner of the statue, and her mind was agitated, and she could not calm down for a long time.

Yes, it was the momentum, the powerful and compassionate feeling that occupied all of He Si's senses, as if the sound of a bell echoed in her heart. Only then did He Si really pay attention to the various details contained in the solemn and graceful Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara.

The Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara statue sitting on the Vajra Sumeru Seat has kind eyebrows lowered, wearing a crown on its head and a necklace. The carving is exquisite and smooth, and its shape is dignified and beautiful. Countless hands stretch out from all sides of the body, holding various magical instruments, such as Lotus and Ruyi. , golden wheels, axes, jade rings, willow branches... just like a peacock spreading its tail, truly seen by a thousand eyes and protected by a thousand hands.

He Si looked up, unconsciously lost her mind, and sighed with some regret: "It's a pity that I didn't get to see the grand occasion of the restoration."

"What's so difficult about this?" The man standing behind him took a step forward, his deep voice filled with carelessness, "How about I lend you your little monkey?"

"Okay." He Shi nodded, opened his palms, and let a little light sway upward.

The dust danced in the warm autumn sun. Driven by Qin Jian, the little monkey danced with the dust. The weak light gradually became stronger and gradually filled the entire Buddhist cave.

He Si's eyes opened wider and wider.

Apparitions of scaffolding appeared around the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara, and then safety nets began to appear.At first it seemed like a gray dot on the retina, but gradually it returned to the green of that year, and the construction work surface covered with red carpet also loomed in it.The gleaming Thousand-Hand Guanyin has taken off its new clothes, the paint is mottled, the gold foil is oxidized, and the repaired carcass is cracked and dilapidated again. It is no longer as magnificent as it is today, showing its ancient and simple appearance after experiencing countless vicissitudes of wind and frost.

He Si couldn't believe her eyes and looked back at Qin Jian.

"You can think of these pictures as holographic projections. Wherever you walk, there will be traces. These are the traces left by time and the painstaking efforts of the restorers." Qin Jian's voice was like floating clouds surrounding the mountains opposite. , traces of it wandered through her heart, He Si nodded, and turned away.

At this moment, she could already see the cultural protection staff in work clothes. They were busy quietly facing the stone wall of the statue. Everyone was concentrating, holding their breath, with serious expressions and meticulous attention to detail. Their hands kept moving, bit by bit. The surface of the stone statue was dusted, the broken fingers were cleaned, the gold foil was removed, the powdered stone was repaired and reinforced, and then it was repainted and colored, the old gold foil was reattached, and the new gold foil was fully colored.

"In this restoration process, in addition to the restoration of the stone statues, all information such as the three-dimensional model of each hand and each magical instrument, diseases, repair materials, etc. will be archived," Qin Jian stretched out his finger and pointed at the fingertips of the Thousand-Hand Guanyin. The red laser line moving back and forth whispered behind He Si, "The organic combination of modern technology and traditional skills. This is why last time your Senior Brother Han asked me about the digital inheritance of ancient buildings, I could answer one Reason two.”

He Si was immersed in the grand scene of cultural relic restoration, when she suddenly heard Qin Jian mention several slightly embarrassing encounters that day, and her ears warmed slightly.

Qin Jian was unwilling to let her go easily, and added behind his back: "Actually, if you need to write a paper in the future, you might as well come to me."

"I know." He Si didn't dare to look back, she responded almost inaudibly, and nodded.

Nodding for a moment, she noticed the tourists worshiping outside the green safety net. The low-pitched chanting of sutras was full of piety and warmth, and surrounded her at that moment. The warm sunshine filled the surrounding stone carvings, and also Filling her heart, He Si suddenly felt peaceful and happy, and couldn't help but close her eyes.

It took 80 years for the Buddha to become a Buddha by carving a cliff, and it took the Buddha [-] years to save all living beings. When all living things decline and pass away, the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara, wrapped in the sound of sutras and sunshine, seems to be closer to the world.

"What are you thinking about?" Qin Jian looked at the girl's smooth profile. After enduring it for a long time, he couldn't help but speak and break the peace and tranquility.

"I was thinking about Mr. Shi Tiesheng's article. Did the Buddha save all sentient beings, or did all living beings save the Buddha?"

The girl raised her head and looked at him with eyes full of trust and expectation. The little monkey had already flown to her side, and the scene of restoration gradually faded away. The golden Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara bloomed with Buddha's light behind her, as if she were a young girl. Shining.

Qin Jian was stunned, his head suddenly felt like tearing pain, and a glimmer of light appeared in the depths of his memory. It was a picture that seemed to be similar to before, a girl that seemed to be similar to before, a light that seemed to be similar to before, a light that seemed to be similar to before... ...It was you who converted me.

"What are you thinking about?" The same question was asked by He Si this time to Qin Jian. She tilted her head with tentative concern in her tone.

"I was distracted." Qin Jian twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and his cold smile suddenly appeared and then disappeared.After thousands of calamities, only the stone remains intact, but after thousands of years, the stone carvings will inevitably be weathered and ruined, and will be re-dressed and decorated. What about me, my memory, and you in my memory?

"You... look bad." He Si finally made the temptation blatant, "Are you too tired? After all, you have passed the mirror door several times in one night. How about we go back and rest for a while."

"It's okay, I want to take you to another place."

"Where?" After He Si asked, she suddenly felt something was wrong and added, "Then let's go."

This trip to the Mirror Gallery was particularly long. When he came to the real world again, the dense shade of trees blocked the sky. He Si stood in the knee-deep grass and looked at the deep pool in front of her. For a moment, she couldn't tell the difference between tonight and the night. What evening.

"The road is not easy, so be careful." The smile faded and his voice became deeper. After Qin Jian finished speaking, he pushed aside the weeds and led the way.

He Si remained silent and followed Qin Jian's footsteps, stepping on his footsteps step by step.

It was a bit difficult at first, and the quiet forest was filled with her breathing. After walking for a while, she gradually got used to it, and her steps became much lighter. She climbed uphill and down the ditch, and finally came to an ancient road.

Bamboo trees were rising up in layers on both sides. The stone bricks had been weathered and were almost like soil. Only some moss remained to outline the traces of the road. He Si looked back to look at the road. The weeds that had fallen because of their steps had not yet been planted. After recovering, He Si realized that it was not that she had adapted, but that Qin Jian had deliberately made his steps smaller.

There were fewer weeds, but the road did not become easier to walk. Because of the lack of sunlight, the road became slippery under layers of dead leaves.It was extremely quiet in the mountains, the breeze was like whistling, the dead leaves were broken like giant beasts moving forward, and the occasional bird song was even more sharp and frightening. He Si had a fleeting feeling of déjà vu, and she vaguely knew that they were going downhill.

 In this chapter, the professional content on the restoration of Thousand-Hand Guanyin in the Southern Song Dynasty on Baoding Mountain in Dazu refers to Teacher Yuan Rongsun’s books "Bashu Grottoes - Chinese Civilization Hidden in the Countryside" and "Buddha Cave China". I originally referred to these two books I read it as a reference book, but during the reading process I became more and more amazed by the teacher's rich professional knowledge, beautiful writing style and unique humanistic care.As the teacher said in the book, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the rural cultural administrators who have been guarding the grottoes in the mountains and fields for decades, as well as the cultural relics protection agencies and professionals who have dedicated their efforts to the protection, rescue and management of the grottoes' cultural relics. Respect.
