Legend has it that in ancient times, floods occurred in Longmen Grottoes, and large floods often submerged cities and fields.
This year, heavy rains continued to fall in the upper reaches, and the water level rose again and again. Experienced elderly people knew that there would be another flood, and they all began to move up the mountain.
A child of a family was playing on the bank of the river when he heard a strange sound coming from the water. It seemed like someone was saying under the water: "Can't open it...Can't open it..."
The children didn't take it seriously. Two days later, there was indeed a huge flood upstream. A group of people on the mountain saw that their fields and cities were about to be flooded, and they felt very uncomfortable.
Although they brought out everything they could, once the flood was over, the fields would be completely destroyed. There would be nothing to eat next year, and famine would inevitably occur.
Moreover, after the flood, there will be a plague rampant. The medical technology at that time was simply not enough to control the plague, and it could only be filled with human lives. That is to say, the area was relatively large, so that the infection would not be fatal.
When everyone was feeling sad, the child heard the strange sound coming from the water again, as if asking: "Can it be opened... Can it be opened..."
The child was very strange and told his parents what had happened. The parents were overjoyed and told the child that if he heard the sound again, he would answer "open".
Not long after, the child heard the sound again. This time he said "open" as his parents taught him.
Then I saw the rolling river water splitting, and the flood water from the upstream split into two paths, one going around from the left side of Tiandi City, and all the way around from the right side, without causing any flooding.
At the place where the river flows, the mountain wall that had previously sunk beneath the river emerged from the water. Buddha statues and grottoes with different postures appeared one after another. Among them was a Buddha statue with his eyes looking directly at the sky. The river was centered on his eyes. Divide into two.
After the great flood passed, the common people discovered that the Buddha statue's eyes were closed, and then they realized that it was the Buddha statue that saved their city.
Since then, those Buddha statues and grottoes have emerged, which is now the Longmen Grottoes.
Of course, this is just a legend and cannot be taken seriously, but the story of the Buddha opening his eyes has been passed down in the neighborhood.
Huang Ji told Zhou Wen that he didn’t know if there was really a Buddha who opened his eyes to save the common people, but what is certain is that after the extra-dimensional storm, whenever the river water next to Longmen Grottoes exceeds a certain limit, there will be a closed-eyed building. The Buddha statue opens its eyes. If you can catch a glimpse of the Buddha statue, you might have a great opportunity.
"What great opportunity?" Zhou Wen asked curiously.
Huang Ji shook his head and said: "I don't know. I heard that there were several instances of Buddha opening his eyes in Longmen Grottoes before. Every time, someone was glanced at by the Buddha statue, and it seemed that Buddha's light descended on him. But what did those people get after that? I'm not sure about the benefits. I just heard that there is a student with average qualifications, whose grades in the college are basically at the bottom. Every time he takes the unified examination, he will definitely be among the top three, but he will be at the bottom. He was lucky enough to meet a Buddha who opened his eyes and was glanced at by the Buddha statue. From then on, he seemed to be cheating, his academic performance skyrocketed, and he was promoted to Legend within a few months. I heard that Not long after graduation, I was promoted to the epic level."
"Is there such a god?" Zhou Wen didn't quite believe it.
"I don't really believe it, but there are rumors like this outside, and that's what I've heard from people. It's rained a lot recently, and the water level in the river has exceeded the legendary mark. Today may be the day when the Buddha opens his eyes. You If nothing happens, just wait here, maybe if the Buddha takes a look, you can make a lot of money." Huang Ji said.
Hearing what Huang Ji said, Zhou Wendao also felt that he should stay and take a look. Even if the Buddha statue didn't like him, it would be nice to gain some knowledge.
Zhou Wen sat down next to Huang Ji, waiting for the so-called Buddha to appear with his eyes open.
"Which is the legendary Buddha statue with closed eyes?" Zhou Wen saw many Buddha statues around him, but none of them had his eyes closed.
"That's the one." Huang Ji pointed at it.
Fortunately, Zhou Wen had very good eyesight, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to see the Buddha statue. It was because the Buddha statue Huang Ji was pointing to was so inconspicuous.
The more important Buddha statues are all full-body sculptures, but that Buddha statue is just a relief, and it is only about a foot high. It is carved on the stone wall. In addition, he is surrounded by large Buddha statues several meters high, or even more than ten meters high. It's so inconspicuous there that if you don't pay attention, you'll miss it.
Zhou Wen looked carefully and found that the Buddha statue had its eyes closed, but after looking at it for a while, he didn't find anything magical about the stone statue.
"Old Zhou, it turns out you are here. You made it easy for me to find you. Why haven't you answered the phone after calling me for so long?" Li Xuan and Li Weiyang came over with a group of people, and they saw Zhou Wen from afar. Came over and complained.
Only then did Zhou Wen remember that when he came out, he didn't bring that ordinary mobile phone with him.
"Why are you all here?" Zhou Wen looked around and found that people from the Xuanwen Society and Weiyang Society were almost here, and even Classics was there.
"What else are you here for? Aren't you here to open the Buddha's eyes?" Li Xuan curled his lips and said, as if he was very dissatisfied with Zhou Wen for coming alone behind their backs.
"Senior Huang Ji just told me that I only knew about the Buddha's opening of eyes. I went to Laolong Cave to pack some things." Zhou Wen explained.
"Then you are here. If the Buddha statue really opens its eyes later, it might be able to fall in love with the two of us, and then we will make money." Li Xuan said.
While the two were talking, many more people came one after another. Zhou Wen saw Wei Ge coming with many key members of the student union, including Zheng Tianlun.
Zheng Tianlun didn't like Zhou Wen very much and just glanced at him, but Wei Ge nodded to Zhou Wen with a smile, looking quite kind.
Zhou Wen nodded slightly in response, but he always felt that Wei Ge today seemed a little different from before, but he couldn't tell what was different.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and when the sun is about to go down, more and more people are coming, not only people from the college, but also some from outside the college. After all, the Longmen Grottoes do not completely belong to Sunset College.
Seeing that there were more and more people, there was no movement at the Buddha statue. Let alone opening his eyes, it was almost impossible to see him when the sky darkened.
Suddenly, Zhou Wen heard the sound of rushing water, as if something was rolling in the river, causing the water to bubble.
