Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "The reason is very simple. It is recorded in the Qingshan Town Annals that the old people in our village used to tell stories, and there is also a legend about Wang Mingtang's black iron sword slaying the dragon.

    ? Updates quickly.

    " " Liu Junhao responded. "Yes, "Qingshan Township Chronicles", I said why the name Wang Mingtang is familiar to me.  "Zhao Guangming, who was next to him, also slapped his head. When Liu Junhao mentioned it, he immediately remembered that he had seen this article in the folklore recorded in the township chronicles.

    It is said that there used to be a dragon living in the Baitiao River. This dragon would make waves every summer, causing the Baitiao River to flood. Countless farmland and villages along the bank were submerged, and water transportation was completely cut off.  Later, when Wang Mingtang, the then magistrate of Qinghe Prefecture, learned about this matter, Wang Mingtang ordered someone to forge a black iron sword and sent warriors to use it to kill the dragon.

    Since then, the Baitiao River has been calm and there have been no more floods.

    Not only Liu Junhao had heard of this legend when he was a child, but probably many people in Qingshan Town had also heard of it.  But everyone took it as a story, and no one believed that this incident really happened.

    "My dear, I've heard this story since I was a child. There really is such a precious sword." Liu Qihua, who was poking his head around the pit, was full of praise.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, I told my grandson some time ago.¡± Er Mazi echoed.  The words of both of them were filled with incredulity. They never expected that the things in the legend would actually come into reality.

    In fact, many legends are adapted from what happened in reality. If you peel off the mysterious veil, you might be able to discover a piece of historical truth.

    Witnessing history with your own hands is such a great feeling.  In the big pit, more than 20 laborers took turns digging the soil. The more they worked, the more energetic they became. In half an hour, they dug more than three meters deep, but the whole body of the sword was still not visible.

    Of course, another reason is that the upper silt layer has been dug out, and the bottom layer is sandy soil. The soil is loose, and the excavation speed is naturally more than twice as fast as before.

    Liu Junhao gathered his strength and dug for more than 20 minutes before he was replaced.  He took a breath and prepared to take some photos and post them online when he returned.

    But this time he was really lagging behind. The onlookers had already used their mobile phones to send photos of the excavation to the 18th floor.  There are now several posts in the forum, all of which are live broadcasted by tourists.  At this time, the total number of replies has exceeded a thousand.

    A group of people worked hard for two hours to dig a hole and take out sand. They dug a five-meter-deep hole on the river beach. The black iron sword finally revealed its true appearance in Lushan.  There is a picture cast on the sword grid. According to Mr. Guo, this is the picture of Yaizhen.

    There is a folk legend that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, and Yaizhen is the second son of the dragon.  It is murderous and can swallow swords with its mouth, so people carved it on their swords.

    Liu Guangju had already ordered people to go back to the village to get a steel wire rope. Now one end of the steel wire rope is put on the hilt of the sword, and the other end is tied to the handrail carriage.

    ¡°Then two walking tractors started up and worked hard at the same time, finally pulling the big iron weight out of the pit.

    Before the sword could be stabilized, the crowd gathered around him again, and the sound of cell phones taking pictures was loud.  Since the sword was buried vertically, it was not clear what I saw at the edge of the pit just now, but now I can finally feast my eyes on it up close.

    "dig again and see if there is anything else." Seeing Er Mazi and others about to go ashore, Mr. Guo shouted hurriedly.

    There really is!  !  A few people had just dug out more than a foot deep when they heard another click. "Is there anything else?" Someone shouted, and everyone onlookers put down their swords and gathered around again.

    "Slow down, slow down, don't dig too much. Can you afford to pay for the damage to cultural relics?"  Liu Guangju looked at the fussy behavior of those people below and shouted at the top of his lungs.

    Hearing his shouting, everyone acted cautiously.

    It took more than ten minutes to dig out the thing.  It turned out to be an iron box. The top was already rusty, and there were two rusty holes on the side. There was sand inside. "What is hidden in here?" Er Mazi tapped it with his fingers, making a dull sound.

    "It would be nice if it was a box of gold. Everyone who meets us can make a small fortune." Liu Qiyong responded.

    "It can't be gold. Look here" Mr. Guo pointed to the iron box with a slightly excited tone and said, "It's a Buddha statue. This iron box is probably a Buddhist relic."

    "What is a relic?" a tourist asked immediately.

    Everyone pricked up their ears and waited patiently for the old man¡¯s answer.

    "The relic letter is also called an iron letter, which is an iron box used to wrap the relics, and is also made of copper or gold, silver, jade, etc. According to legend, after the Buddha Sakyamuni passed away, his disciples used gold and jade to wrap the relics.  The bone relics are wrapped and buried in the ground, and then a tower is built on top, which is what we usually call the relic tower."

    "Old man, what do you mean in this iron box?Hidden a bone?  "Er Mazi screamed inwardly that it was bad luck and hurriedly stayed away.

    "Probably not, Buddha bone relics are very rare." Mr. Guo replied hesitantly.  He didn't specialize in this and didn't know much about it.

    "Why are you thinking so much? Just open it and see if it's okay." Zhao Guangming was so anxious that he violently broke the iron box.  The head of the iron lock was rusty and rusty. He hit it lightly with a shovel and the head of the lock broke.  When the lid of the box was opened, everyone immediately gathered around to see what was inside.

    They were disappointed. Not to mention gold, silver and jewelry, there was not even a copper coin inside.

    It is still an iron plate, wet and covered with rust.  There are two lines of words engraved on the front, almost illegible.

    Mr. Guo and Liu Junhao speculated for a few minutes and only recognized the word "Weituo".  Guo Zhenhua¡¯s analysis is correct, this is indeed a Buddhist thing.

    Skanda is the protector of Buddhism and is worshiped in many temples. It is called Skanda Bodhisattva.  He often stands behind the Maitreya Buddha statue, facing the Mahavira Hall, protecting the Dharma and helping monks.

    It seems that Wang Mingtang not only forged a sword to suppress the river, but also asked Wei Tuo Bodhisattva to sit here.

    ¡°Keep digging, maybe there¡¯s something left.¡± Someone else shouted.

    This time it was really gone. I dug two feet deeper and couldn't dig down.

    This place is close to the Baitiao River and has abundant groundwater resources. At this moment, the groundwater keeps rising and has almost reached the top of the feet.

    While everyone was busy there, Liu Junhao took out his mobile phone and called reporter Guo.  Reporter Guo is an old acquaintance of Liujiagou, so he is naturally indispensable for this kind of news.  When the call was answered, the other party heard that a giant black iron sword had been dug up in Liujiagou, and immediately said he would come over in the afternoon.  In addition, it is important to keep the on-site information well so that he may use it when he reports.

    At this moment, the anxious tourists have measured the length of the black iron sword, which is 5.3 meters, which is a very astonishing number.  Some people began to worry about how to transport it back.

    Someone at the scene quickly came up with the idea to lay a few thick wooden strips in the carriage to increase the stress-bearing area.  Then everyone tied up the sword with steel wire, and then twenty or thirty laborers went up to lift the black iron sword and slowly put the sword into the carriage.

    Before the walking tractor entered the village, other people in the village had already received the news and stood on the roadside to greet him, even Zhang Qian was no exception.

    After unloading the sword, he threw it directly at the door of Liu Guangju's house.  There is no need to consider the safety of cultural relics at all. Even if someone wants to steal a big iron lump, it is probably difficult to get it away.

    At this time, tourists who had not found the opportunity gathered around again to take photos.

    Liu Junhao didn¡¯t join in the fun. He looked at the time on his phone and saw it was almost half past eleven.  It was time to go home and make lunch, so he turned around and called Zhao Guangming.

    Until this moment, Zhao Guangming remembered that Zhou Yuer was still waiting at home.  He went to Liu Junhao's place to load the egg cartons, and hurried away on his motorcycle. Zhang Qian was cooking at noon, and the task of taking care of the children was naturally handed over to Liu Junhao.

    Taking advantage of the time to coax the child, he turned on the computer and took a look. As expected, the discussion on the 18th floor was very hot now, and many netizens expressed their intention to come to Liujiagou to see the sword.  "Husband, we are out of soy sauce. Please ask Wukong to go to the village to buy a bottle." When the vegetables were placed in the pot, Zhang Qian realized that the soy sauce bottle was already empty.  Her husband had to take care of the children, so she summoned the monkey.

    Liu Junhao shook his head, "Let Xiaopi go. Wukong is very playful, so don't delay cooking. Besides, he will definitely spend the leftover change on you."

    "Yes." Zhang Qian nodded.

    Now they can be said to be quite worried about the monkey, this guy will cause some trouble every now and then.  Letting it use money to do things doesn't condone crime.

    Liu Junhao took out the vegetable basket, put a piece of RMB and a note in it, then patted the guy on the head and let him go to the village.

    To paraphrase the great man¡¯s words, ¡°I can rest assured when you do things!¡± Xiaopi is definitely a reassuring master. He held the vegetable basket and ran all the way to the door of Liu Qihua¡¯s small shop.

    Now it can no longer be called a small shop, it should be called "Qihua Supermarket".  As the number of tourists in Liujiagou gradually increased, Liu Qihua also renovated his small shop and renamed it a supermarket.  Opening a supermarket in a small village with only a few hundred people sounds like nonsense, but anyone who visits Liujiagou will know that this supermarket is definitely profitable.  Liujiagou is now well-known, and there is an endless stream of guests coming to the village every day. Someone has made a simple count, and there are more people than the villagers of Liujiagou.  Especially on Saturdays and Sundays, the farmhouses in the village are even more crowded.

    With so many people, it is natural that they have various needs.  It takes more than ten miles to go to town to buy something. Although this distance is nothing for people with cars, it only takes half a mile to go back and forth.?? time.  But it¡¯s not about running errands after all.

    It is precisely because of this that Liu Qihua upgraded the small shop.

    Xiaopi ran all the way to the supermarket door and found that the door was locked, so he turned around and followed the smell.

    Liu Qihua hasn¡¯t eaten yet, and he and several tourists are gathered around the sword to explain the story of Wang Mingtang¡¯s sword killing of the dragon.  Xiaopi ran up to him and immediately whined at him several times.

    "Wait, I'll get you the soy sauce after I finish speaking." He was talking with great enthusiasm, how could he give up halfway.

    Xiaopi didn¡¯t care about that. When he saw the other party lingering on his seat, he immediately put down the food basket and stretched out his head to grab the corner of Liu Qihua¡¯s clothes.

    "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you." Liu Qihua got up and went back depressedly, took a bottle of soy sauce, and then gave change in RMB.  After watching Xiaopi go away, he sat back down again.
