I dig ancient tombs for the country

Time flies, and it is the spring of 23 in the blink of an eye.I am already a 22-year-old boy, and the red hair is one year younger than me, [-] years and three months old.

On this day, the two of us received a new task assigned by Master Cai to go to Liupan Mountain in Ningxia to find the tomb of Genghis Khan.

Liupan Mountain is located at the junction of Ningxia, Gansu and Shaanxi, and is a must-pass in the eastern section of the ancient Silk Road.When Genghis Khan conquered Xixia, he cultivated his health and recuperated in Liupan Mountain, purge the army, and died of illness here.It is said that Genghis Khan was buried in Mount Liupan, but the specific location remains to be investigated.

Master Cai only sent us to this mission, and bought us a new set of equipment, including explosives, fuel, two Desert Eagles, etc.

The Desert Eagle is very powerful. It is a large-caliber pistol with an aiming device. It can hold nine bullets at a time, but it has a large recoil and cannot be used by ordinary people.

After Hongmao and I packed our bags, we went to say goodbye to Mr. Long, Uncle Long, and Aunt Long.Before leaving, Aunt Long wiped her tears and told us to be careful, pay attention to safety, eat well and sleep well, and secretly gave me a few catties of beef cooked by myself.I couldn't help feeling sad in my heart. I can't help myself in the rivers and lakes. I don't know when this life-threatening life will end, and when I will be able to share the happiness of the family with my relatives carefree.

With tears in my eyes, I gave Aunt Long a bear hug, and then strode away with Hongmao and my backpack without looking back.At that time, I didn't even have the courage to look back, I was afraid that I would not be able to control my emotions, I was afraid of Aunt Long's tears...

At noon, the two of us got on the train to Ningxia. It was a long journey, and I couldn't get excited at all, and I was so bored that I fell asleep.

The red hair was very excited, and had a good chat with a villager Liu who claimed to be a villager in Longde County, Ningxia.The two of them had a bright future, and as they chatted, they reached Liupan Mountain.That Liupanshan is very familiar with Liupanshan, and every place is described in detail, just like Liupanshan is the back garden of his home. attention.

He is telling an ancient legend about Mount Liupan: "It is said that in ancient times there was a temple under Mount Liupan, and there was an old monk named Xiuyuan in the temple. There is a small village called Heshangpu next to the temple at the foot of the mountain.

One morning, the old monk went to the stream to fetch water, and saw a deer drinking by the stream.The deer ran away as soon as it saw the old monk, but the deer was very strange. Seeing that the old monk did not come after him, it raised its head to signal the old monk. The old monk was very strange and followed him.The deer stopped and walked, as if waiting for him to catch up.The old monk ran and it ran, and the old monk stopped and it stopped. In this way, the old monk chased it for a long time, and he reached the top of the mountain before he knew it.

When the old monk looked back, he was immediately confused by the picturesque scenery around him. He was deeply moved. In ancient times, the deer was an auspicious thing.The old monk privately thought that the top of the mountain was a treasure, and after his death, his disciples buried him on the top of the mountain.After this story spread, people called this mountain Lupan Mountain, and over time, it became Liupan Mountain. "

Hearing this, my thoughts seemed to drift farther and farther, to that picturesque mountain, to that small mountain village.The stories are very moving, and these ancient legends also have a certain basis, they don't appear out of thin air, and sometimes they can become the basis for certain things.

Hongmao and I trekked all the way to the monk's shop at the foot of Liupan Mountain.This is a small village with only dozens of families, hidden in the green mountains and green waters.In the back is the green mountain with many peaks, and in the front is a meandering stream.

Most of the villages are earth-embryo houses and even huts. It seems that the villagers here are not very rich.There is a temple in the east of the village. The temple is not very big. It looks like it has been around for some years. There are three big characters Fulu Temple on the gate tower. The red paint on the gate has peeled off a lot. From time to time, there are monks chanting sound and the knocking sound of wooden fish.

The two of us decided to go inside the temple first, pass through the tall gate tower, first see a big bronze tripod, pass through a courtyard, climb several steps to the Daxiong Hall, where the three statues of Sakyamuni are enshrined, and in the middle is the place to educate all living beings Sakyamuni Buddha, on the left is Manjushri Bodhisattva who is wise and civilized, and on the right is Samantabhadra Bodhisattva who is famous for his great deeds. The three are collectively called the three Sakyamuni Buddhas.

Cigarettes were curling up from the incense table, and two young monks were sitting on both sides of the hall knocking wooden fish in their hands.Hongmao and I walked into the main hall and lit a stick of incense. After kneeling down, we rolled some incense money in the donation box and walked around to watch the scenery of the temple.

The temple faces south, with a total of three courtyards, a north-south road, a hall arranged at a certain distance from south to north, surrounded by some wing rooms, and the west side is the monk's room, which is where the monks live.

The main hall of the second courtyard is dedicated to the four heavenly kings, and on both sides are the dining halls for monks to cook and eat.The third courtyard at the back is Guanyin Bodhisattva holding a pure bottle of poplar branches, standing between the mountains and seas of Putuoluojiao, with bell towers and drum towers on both sides of the front hall.Further back and close to the foot of the mountain is a pagoda with a height of more than 20 floors. It should be built in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty. The stairs are made of wood.

After walking around the entire temple, I always have a feeling that there must be some unknown secret hidden in this temple.From the time the two of us entered the temple, I always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at us from behind, but when I looked back, everything was so normal and there was no clue.I decided to spend the night in the temple to further investigate the situation.

The presiding abbot in the temple is an old monk in his 60s. The Buddha's name is Liaochen, and he looks kind and kind.He arranged a guest room for us, which was in the third courtyard, relatively quiet and suitable for us to live in.

After eating the fasting meal at night, I took the red hair for a walk in the yard.Except for Abbot Chen, there are only six young monks in this temple. In the kitchen are two uncles from the village. Because of the family situation, they practice on behalf of the monks and are in charge of the monks' fasting meals.

The two of us turned around and came to the kitchen side. The two uncles were sitting in the room and chatting. They were very enthusiastic when they saw someone coming over. They served tea and offered to sit down, which made both of us feel embarrassed.

During the chat, I revealed that the two of us are looking at Fengshui, and came to this mountain to look for auspicious acupoints.One of the uncles surnamed Wang said happily when he heard it: "Young man, you are right. Our Liupan Mountain is indeed a treasure land of geomantic omen. Haven't you heard that this is also the place where Genghis Khan was buried?"

"Oh, there's this thing? I've never heard of it." I looked at them in surprise.

As soon as the man surnamed Wang was about to speak, he was stopped by the man surnamed Li: "Young man, don't listen to his nonsense. It's just a rumor. Look, there are so many people coming here and there. Who has found Genghis Khan?" The burial is pure nonsense."

"Uncle, are there many people here looking for the tomb?" Hongmao asked with a puzzled expression, apparently not believing what they said.

"Not only are there, but there are many of them. They all came here in high spirits and came back disappointed. Some even disappeared for no apparent reason. There are also rumors that the mountain is haunted. You'd better not walk around at night, and don't go out of the temple gate. The mountain ghosts are the most troublesome, and if one is not good, it will be killed."
