Masterful appearance

() Chu Tianci calculated from the time that the Leshan Giant Buddha was built in the early Tang Dynasty, and the clues left in the Tianshi Cave in Qingcheng Mountain were clearly from the Ming Dynasty. The time span of the two clues is so large, it was difficult for Chu Tianci to connect the two. Together.

Yue Qianling has participated in many archaeological projects, but they were all discovered artificially and then excavated and surveyed. It is the first time that today's discovery based on clues bit by bit is really the first time, so she danced excitedly.

"Speaking of which, I really want to thank the person who sold the tea just now. If he hadn't accidentally reminded us, we might not have found this place." Yue Qianling said happily.

"That's right, Unintentional Insertion really helped us a lot." Qiu Nuo nodded.

Chu Tianci smiled faintly, sat on the ground and answered with a lot of thought.

"Do you really think that the tea seller is talking casually?"

Hearing what Chu Tianci said, Qiu Nuo and Yue Qianling looked at each other and asked in surprise.

"Brother Tianci, what do you mean by that?"

"I'll make a bet with you, we'll go back now, I can guarantee that the tea seller just now is gone."

Yue Qianling looked at Chu Tianci's categorical words, she would really want to gamble with her character if it were someone else, but Chu Tianci has always been a ghost, since he was so sure, Yue Qianling pulled Chu Tianci up on the ground Just go back.

The tea stand and the tea seller just now seemed to have never appeared before. If it wasn't for the tea residue left on the ground, Yue Qianling couldn't be sure that she had drunk tea here half an hour ago.

"You... how do you know that the tea seller is gone?"

"Brother Tianci, is there something wrong with this tea seller?" Qiu Nuo asked puzzled.

"If he was really a tea seller, he would have starved to death." Chu Tianci replied with a smile on his lips. "The tea he sells, I felt strange when I took the first sip. The mountain folks in the vicinity set up tea stalls selling tea pictures to support their families, but the tea he sold turned out to be Biluochun!"

<It’s a famous tea, it’s expensive, he either doesn’t know how to do business, or he’s not doing business at all. "

"Qiu Nuo is right. Obviously this tea seller waited here on purpose. Although he answered us fluently and gave us seemingly careless instructions, he was actually deliberately guiding us to find the mirror." <Can't do business? " Yue Qianling said disapprovingly.

Chu Tianci answered with a wry smile and shook his head.

"Of course it's not just about this. I have seen his palms for an excuse. If he is really a porter who sells tea, carrying tea stalls up the mountain every day, there will be calluses on his palms over time, but this person's palms just now are smooth and soft. , it doesn’t look like a person doing physical labor.”

Yue Qianling was speechless for a moment, but after thinking for a long time, she still pouted.

"Even if you are right, then why did this person give us some clues for no reason, which means that he also knows the clues of the mirror. Since it is related to the Four Tombs of the Ming Dynasty, he can find them by himself, so why remind us?"

"This is also what I can't figure out. It seems that someone really wants me to find the Fourteenth Tombs of the Ming Dynasty..." Chu Tianci replied with a sigh. "Why didn't he go find it himself...he had to ask me?"

"Brother Tianci, no matter what the purpose of this person is, at least we can see that we are not the only ones who know this clue. We should rush to Leshan Giant Buddha without further delay." Qiu Nuo said calmly.

The Leshan Giant Buddha is not far from Rongcheng. After leaving Qingcheng Mountain, Chu Tianci and them rushed there overnight. It was already early morning when they stood at the foot of the Leshan Giant Buddha. .

Leshan Giant Buddha is located at the side of Lingyun Temple on the east bank of Minjiang River, near the confluence of Dadu River, Qingyi River and Minjiang River.

The Big Buddha is a sitting statue of Maitreya Buddha, with a height of 71 meters. It is the largest existing cliff-carved statue.

The Great Buddha was excavated in the first year of Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty and completed in the 19th year of Zhenyuan. It lasted about 90 years. A brick pagoda, thirteen stories high, is similar in shape to the Small Wild Goose Pagoda. In the left river of the temple stands a solitary peak, named Wuyou.

This information was shared by Yue Qianling. If it was a trip, it would be a good thing to have an archaeologist as a tour guide, but these things did not arouse Chu Tianci's interest at all.

The clue points to the Leshan Giant Buddha, but this Buddha is a mountain, and the mountain is a Buddha. This clue is a bit too general. Qingcheng Mountain still has a map of Tiancang in western Sichuan to guide it. Now Chu Tianci is looking up at the majestic and solemn opposite of the river. The Great Buddha was at a loss.

"The Great Buddha was built in the early Tang Dynasty, and the clues we found were left by the Ming Dynasty. In fact, it is reasonable to think about it. This Great Buddha is majestic. Even if the dynasty changes, the kings of all dynasties will treat the Buddha with courtesy, and they will never destroy a Buddha. , so it's easy to keep the clues on the Buddha." Qiu Nuo said calmly.

"Probably not!" Yue Qianling said with certainty without even thinking about it. "The rocks on both sides of the Buddha are red sandstone. Red sandstone is a loose and easily weathered rock. It is softer than granite and is a good material suitable for sculpture. However, after the Buddha statue is carved, it is easy to be eroded and weathered. The Great Buddha was carved on this kind of rock, and in the long years of nearly 300 years, it has been eroded by natural wind and rain and man-made damage, so that the body of the Buddha is riddled with holes and beyond recognition."

Chu Tianci nodded in agreement.

"Judging from the current Buddha, it is obvious that it has been artificially repaired. If the clues of the Ming Tombs were really on the Buddha, they would have been destroyed long ago. Moreover, the Ming Tombs are so important that they really leave the clues in a day. Wouldn’t it be too much fun for a place full of tourists.”

"But the clues we got from Tianshi Cave refer to this place. For such a big mountain, it will take at least a year or two to investigate carefully up and down such a big mountain." Qiu Nuo said with some disappointment.

"A year or two..." Chu Tianci smiled helplessly. "Looking around without a clue, let alone a year or two, maybe I will spend my whole life with this Buddha."

The morning sun rises slowly from the east and shines through the thin smoke-like morning mist. The entire Buddha statue is plated with gold, and a circle of light surrounds the Buddha. The reflection of the Buddha in the river is like The Buddha's light is as majestic and solemn.

Chu Tianci was stunned, as if he had thought of something, he quickly raised his head to look around again, and his brows that had been tightened just now slowly relaxed.

"Brother Tianci, have you discovered anything?" Qiu Nuo asked curiously seeing his expression.

"Why was this great Buddha built?" Chu Tianci said to himself, answering the wrong question.

"I know this. According to records in the Tang and Ming dynasties, the founder of the excavation of the Great Buddha was the monk Haitong, who lived in Lingyun Mountain. In ancient times, it was where the three rivers converged. The Minjiang River, the Qingyi River, and the Dadu River converged at the foot of Lingyun Mountain. The ferocity of the boat is often overturned, and every summer flood, the river rushes directly to the mountain wall, often causing the tragedy of shipwreck and human death. Seeing this, the monk Haitong determined to dig a statue of Maitreya Buddha from the cliff, hoping to rely on boundless mana to reduce the number of people killed. The power of the water keeps the wind and the waves forever, so Monk Haitong went all over the river, north and south, and around the Jianghuai Lakes to raise money to dig the giant Buddha." Yue Qianling said.

"It's a kind of sustenance, the purpose is to control the water." Qiu Nuo also nodded.

Chu Tianci carefully looked around the Buddha with all his attention. After a long silence, he suddenly shook his head meaningfully and said.

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as water control!"

"Then...why is that?" Qiu Nuo and Yue Qianling asked almost in unison.

"Qianling, you said just now that the Minjiang River, Qingyi River, and Dadu River converge in Lingyun Mountain, and in Fengshui, water is the source of wealth. Wherever the three rivers converge, it must be a place of prosperity. And this Lingyun Mountain is from west to east, and Qixia Peak is proud of it. Refers to the sky, which means that the dragon is proud of the nine heavens, and the three rivers below gather together, which means that the wind is surging, and the dragon is riding the wind and clouds straight to the sky, and the mountains are endless, and the three rivers are endless, this... This is a dragon vein!" Chu Godsend said in surprise.

"Dragon pulse?!" Yue Qianling looked at Chu Tianci dumbfounded, and thought about it. "But... have you never heard of an emperor coming out of this place?"

Chu Tianci looked up at the big Buddha opposite and smiled faintly.

"Of course the emperor can't come out. With this big Buddha, how can this dragon soar to the nine heavens!"

"Brother Tianci, what do you mean, this big Buddha is not used to control the water, but to suppress the dragon's veins!" Qiu Nuo seemed to understand.

Chu Tianci nodded and said with a smile.

"The Great Buddha was built in the early Tang Dynasty. The location chosen happened to be at Qixia Peak, that is, the dragon's head. The Buddha sat on the dragon's head. The dragon couldn't lift its head, let alone soar. Every day, the sun shines from behind the Buddha, just like the light of the Buddha. The eyes of the Buddha are slightly closed, staring directly at the river at night without sleep, riri is guarding this dragon vein every night, the Buddha will never be able to go straight to the nine heavens without falling down the dragon vein!"

"No, the big Buddha recorded in the history books was built spontaneously by the people. Since this is a dragon vein, why use a big Buddha to suppress it?" Yue Qianling asked suspiciously.

"Do you really think that this giant Buddha was built spontaneously by the people?" Chu Tianci asked with a meaningful smile.

"The dragon's veins came out of the Son of Heaven. The Great Buddha was built in the early Tang Dynasty. Emperor Taizong Li Shimin has already ruled the world. Now that there is a Son of Heaven..." Qiu Nuo suddenly realized and raised his head and said in shock. "This Buddha was built at the behest of King Li Shimin at that time. He is the one who benefits the most from suppressing the dragon's veins!"

"Hehe, other than a generation of emperors with such financial and manpower, I really can't think of another person to arrange such an exquisite and huge Fengshui bureau. Besides, don't forget, there are two metaphysicians Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang beside Li Shimin." Master, if you guess correctly, this Buddha is probably the masterpiece of two senior masters!" Chu Tianci said with a smile after taking a deep breath.
