Qian Sheng turned his head and looked at Lin Yi, then looked at the food around him, and shook his head.
"I don't think that's the case! In the whole world, is it possible for a king to sit on the throne of the Nine-Fifth Supreme Being? Why do you need to look at the faces of the world? Do you need to be secretive to move the earth?"
"Then how do you explain this granary in the mountains? During the Tang Dynasty, millet was the main source of food in the north, followed by wheat and rice in the south. Look, there are still stone mortars for pounding rice, and there are more than one. at.
I estimate that this granary was prepared for the craftsmen who came here to work in the past. Because they had to take care of the food problems of these craftsmen from all over the world, various staple food raw materials appeared here. "
Qian Sheng dragged his chin and thought about it carefully.
It seems that this is really the case.
Any place that could be chosen as a granary in ancient times was first of all a grain-producing area.
Secondly, transportation must be convenient to distribute food to various places.
Moreover, it must be close to a big city to facilitate the control of food prices.
“Then according to what you said, it does make sense.
The Sui Dynasty had six major granaries across the country, more than half of which were located in Yuzhou, because it produced grain and was located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, with convenient transportation. There were also big cities like Luoyang, which was not far from Xijing. "
Wang Qiang held up a flashlight and walked into the depths of the granary. He was so shocked that he was speechless.
"Dear me, this must be such a big project. We have saved so much food, but we haven't even finished it yet. There is still so much left over, which makes these rats cheap."
In front of him were dozens of sunken grain cellars with a diameter of seven to eight meters.
However, due to its age, the anti-rat and mold-proof measures in the early years have completely failed, and the top cover is riddled with holes bitten by rats.
"Old Wang, take a look at the bottom of these grain cellars. Are there any writings or inscriptions on the bricks?"
"What are you looking for?"
Wang Qiang turned on the flashlight, lowered his head and groped around.
Qian Sheng took over the conversation.
"Master Wang, you don't know something about this, otherwise Master Lin is an expert.
Most grain cellars in ancient times have masonry inscriptions, recording the location, number, source of grain storage, variety, quantity, year of storage and other information. As long as we find a piece of this masonry, take a look at it. Who built this granary? Isn’t it clear at a glance? "
"But the problem is, there are none of the things you are talking about."
Wang Qiang picked up the engineering shovel and pulled it around casually.
"No, there is no brick here at all."
"As far as I know, last year, a colleague of Panjiayuan received two bricks from the Sui Dynasty's Xingluocang'. I don't know how much he paid for it, but it is said that a buyer later came out. The six-figure price is all inclusive.”
"Why are these bricks so valuable?"
"Isn't it? Although this thing is considered an unpopular thing, if you can find one or two pieces here, it will be nothing but money."
"Oh, it sounds good, but what can I do if I can't find it? It can only be said that we don't have the opportunity to make a fortune!"
Lin Yi and Qian Sheng sang and harmonized, performing a double act.
Wang Qiang is very tired over there.
As soon as I heard that this thing could be sold at a good price, I started to work with the shovel, just like the stupid son-in-law who returned to his father-in-law's house. He swung the shovel so hard that it almost started to smoke.
The two people here looked at the dusty and energetic Wang Qiang, covering their mouths and snickering.
Wang Qiang worked there for a long time, but still couldn't find any trace of the so-called hungry bricks.
Popping his head out of the smoke and dust, he saw these two people with evil smiles on their faces.
"Does this thing have any clue? I almost turned over the grain cellar."
Lin Yi suppressed his laughter and pretended to be serious:
"Since there is no such thing, forget it. I don't think it is possible, because the reason why they went into the mountains was to work secretly. How could they have been caught? Your tumbling has just confirmed my guess."
"Master Lin is right, but I didn't think carefully. Master Wang, how about we stop digging?"
Wang Qiang looked around and pointed at the two of them:
"Okay, where are you two with this stupid boy?"
Lin Yi and Qian Sheng laughed loudly, abandoned Wang Qiang, and ran deep into the granary.
Wang Qiang chased after him with a shovel.
From the footprints on the ground, we can see that Wukong also followed this path.
The entire journey was filled with the smell of moldy grain, and from time to time there was the sound of rats hiding in the nooks and crannies. Wang Qiang immediately became obedient, sandwiched between Lin Yi and Qian Sheng, and walked to the granary without saying a word. At the end, several steps and a wooden door appeared.
The wooden door is made of wooden boards spliced together, and the seams fit tightly together. There should be a lock on the outside to lock it tightly.
Unfortunately, there are still old problems. It has been in disrepair for a long time, the wood is rotten, insect-eaten and rat-eaten, and there are passages dug out by rats.
As soon as he stepped up, there was a big hole. Lin Yi was the first to get out with a flashlight.
Qian Sheng and Wang Qiang followed closely behind.
As soon as the three of them walked out of the door, they saw Wukong sitting on the ground with his hands firmly in front of his chest, looking up with his head raised in a very pious manner.
It lives in the mountains all year round, has sharp ears and eyesight, and has the ability of night vision. It can see things that the three of them cannot see without using a flashlight.
"Good guy, why are you paying homage to me, Brother Monkey? What did you see?"
Wang Qiang turned on his bright flashlight, raised the lumen to the maximum, and focused it on the sky.
The three of them were stunned at the same time when the beam of light reached the top.
In the dark heart of the mountain, stands a statue of a man standing tall.
But it was covered with a huge yellow silk cloth from top to bottom, covering its facial features and most of its body, leaving only two hands exposed.
It has been so long that the yellow silk cloth has many holes and signs of damage. The color has almost faded, and the color can only be seen in some stacked areas.
"Boss, I finally know where that 'Wooden King' is used. The Leshan Giant Buddha is only over 70 meters tall, and this statue is probably over 100 meters tall.
This will be broadcast from our live broadcast room, but it will make a big name. "
"Shopkeeper Qian, if I'm wrong, this should be a Buddha statue, right?"
Lin Yi asked with narrowed eyes.
"You can't go wrong. One hand is bent and raised in front of the chest, with the fingers stretched naturally and the palm facing outward. The knot is the Buddhist 'Fearless Seal'. The other hand is naturally extended downward, with the fingertips drooping and the palm facing outward. The knot is 'Wish to Wishes'. Seal', it's definitely a Buddhist statue that hasn't escaped."
"Who would build such a big Buddha statue in this ravine and not let people see it? What is it for?"
Wang Qiang spoke and scanned around with his flashlight.
However, they suddenly discovered that there were two neat rows of stone statues beside them, each standing a full five meters away, parallel to them.
In front of them, there was actually a straight and gentle divine road.
