In this way, the door of the blacksmith shop at South Pier was closed during the day, but the tinkling sound of forging continued to be heard in the yard.
I asked Blacksmith Wang to modify and adjust it several times, especially the thorn head. I asked that it be sharpened like a javelin! I kept busy until the evening, and the knot I made barely met the requirements. Finally, I made the connecting rod and wrapped it tightly with sheepskin cloth, and I was done.
Success or failure depends on this.
I plan to do this.
Divide the base of the ancient pagoda into a large square, and then divide the large square into four small squares. In each small square, let one person hold a thorn to pierce it downwards.
Whoever hits a rock or slate, then focus your firepower and dig deep from there! This not only saves trouble, but also greatly improves speed and efficiency!
In the middle of the night, on a small boat, a group of people came to the Guta waters again.
Several people were holding thorns in their hands, and I lectured: "Do you understand what I said? Look at the right place and strike! Don't poke your own feet! This thing will make a hole with one poke!"
"clear!"
"Okay! Get in the water!"
Several people jumped into the lake one by one and swam closer to the ancient pagoda again.
I pointed my hand, and the four people swam to the southeast, northwest and four corners of the ancient pagoda. Then I waved my hand and the four people started working at the same time.
The shovel is small in size and will not turn out mud like the Luoyang shovel, so it will not block our view.
You can think of the base of the tower as a piece of tofu wrapped in mud. Soon the whole piece of tofu was riddled with holes, and there were small holes everywhere.
Seeing this scene, I was very excited, as if I had seen the silver hidden in the underground palace.
But as time went by, I gradually became restless.
In such a big place, if there were stone slabs hidden, they should have been dug in long ago. This makes no sense. Could it be that... when Fang Weixun built this tower, there was no underground palace at all?
Suddenly, I saw a person who was working, twisting and struggling back and forth as if he had been electrocuted. The rope he was holding also fell off, and the other people who were far away seemed to have seen something scary! They all scattered and fled.
When I saw what was going on, I was shocked!
I saw a lot of small water snakes twenty to thirty centimeters long bitten on that guy! I quickly ordered everyone not to run away! It took a lot of effort to drag this man up!
After I came up, I gasped and asked, "Why do you still have water snakes here during this season? What kind of snake is that!"
Li Xiangling said excitedly: "This kind of snake is called Lian Tuozi! It's not poisonous! But it shouldn't be! It's not winter yet! Lian Tuozi will not appear in such deep water!"
I looked at the guy who was bitten by the water snake again, and I was relieved when I saw that there was nothing unusual about his expression.
That's good, the thorn did not hit the entrance of the underground palace, but hit the water snake's nest.
Lao Tai immediately yelled: "Damn it! It's all in vain! I see there is no silver under the water at all! If there is any silver, it would have been taken away hundreds of years ago!"
Then I thought about it and felt that there might be some explanation for this.
According to folklore since ancient times, snakes live under pagodas, such as Leifeng Pagoda, Famen Temple Pagoda, and Baoen Temple Pagoda. When digging the foundations, snake nests were dug out, and cultural relics were discovered later.
Especially Famen Temple, where not only a batch of secret-color porcelain from the Tang Dynasty was produced, but also dozens of Kaiyuan Tongbao coins made of tortoiseshell shells. Some people said they saw several green snakes guarding the Kaiyuan Tongbao.
Of course, there is no scientific basis for this phenomenon, but if you think about it differently, could the snake that appears under the tower be a treasure-protecting snake?
Anyway, I feel that this is not a bad thing, on the contrary, it may be a good sign.
