Chapter 18 The big millstone in the mountains
Seeing that we were all out, Master Ma shouted: "There are many fairies and many powerful people! It is not advisable to stay here for a long time! When the old Taoist, I will go and call my junior brother to come over and eliminate demons!"
Taoist Ma inserted the peach wood sword into his crotch and jumped forward in three steps.
Finally, he looked back and smiled and disappeared into the night.
I have something to ask about Xiaoxuan, and I want to chase him, but Guo Qingzhong, the owner of the test field, stopped me and said, "Don't chase, you can't catch up with the Taoist priest."
"He is in this state, is it okay to run away? How long will it take to come back?" I asked.
Guo Qingzhong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You guys just came here, I'm used to it. The Taoist priest never came back for ten days and half a month every time. Then he couldn't say that he would come back one day."
"What did the priest eat?" I asked.
"Look at what you said, will there be a shortage of food in the mountains? The Taoist priest not only eats well, but also brings me things back. Last time I was practicing martial arts, he threw a dead leopard in the yard."
"leopard!"
"Is it a leopard or a bun?"
"Of course it's a leopard. Have you ever seen a bun weighing 200 kilograms?"
"So, have you eaten leopard meat? Have you practiced qigong? They are also eight Vajra Qigong?"
He whispered: "Don't talk to people. Eating leopards is illegal. In fact, it's like rabbit meat, sour and not delicious. In addition, the Taoist master did teach me a little eight Vajra skills, but I won't practice it after practicing for two days."
"Why don't you practice anymore? Are there any side effects?"
He smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know if there are any side effects. Anyway, my blood pressure was very stable in the half month of practicing, and I have been at 260 and have not dropped."
The next morning, we left the experimental field. Guo Qingzhong filled us with water and told us: "Everyone, there is still work in the field, so I won't send it. If you want to stay, please come over at any time. By the way, if you see the Taoist priest's words, tell him and let him come back early."
After saying goodbye to him, I walked for another day and a half, and really arrived at a place that was rarely visited. I heard the sound of running water from a distance.
Lao Fu looked forward and turned around and said, "I went to Dulong River before. The water was very fast and the river water could not be drunk, so I asked you to fill it with drinking water before."
When I got to the place, I took a look.
The water flows very fast, the river surface is wide, and the river water is slightly yellow, just like the color of the well water in rural areas.
I asked curiously: "Uncle Fu, this water doesn't look dirty, why can't I drink it?"
Lao Fu said: "It looks dirty, but it just can't drink it. Once you drink it, you will definitely get diarrhea and livestock will not drink it. Dulong River was used to be called Dulong River. Someone has done research and said that the E. coli contained in the river water exceeds the standard by more than 300 times compared to normal drinking water."
Douyazai exclaimed: "More than three hundred times! That poisoned the person to death in one bite! No wonder I can't even see a fish in this river!"
There are reasons for this situation. First, the water is dirty after the snow-capped mountains melt. Second, the upper reaches of the Dulong River are active grazing lands for Tibetans, and various animal feces, domestic waste, etc. are thrown into the river.
When you reach the downstream, the river water will still turn yellow after being diluted, probably because the water is full of urine.
"Stop leaving, wait first," he asked in confusion: "Brother Fu, what is there?"
"Hey, you said that, that's a big millstone. I don't know how many years have been left here. I've seen it when I was a child." Lao Fu said.
Just in the grass nest by the Dulong River, a huge round boulder lies across the river, with a hole in the middle, which is hollowed out.
The wind and sun are exposed for a long time, resulting in the surface of the round boulder being bumpy and a layer of green hair.
He squatted down his head and looked at it, then reached out and touched the surface of the huge rock and said, "This thing was very old, how could there be such a big millstone in the mountains? How many cows are needed to pull it to work."
"Also, why are there so many grooves on the millstone?"
What I just wanted to ask is what I said.
On the surface of the millstone, there is a groove every few dozen centimeters. These grooves are neatly arranged, and I don’t know what they are for.
Douyazai said: "I know the head! Maybe this millstone stood in the river hundreds of years ago, carried it through the water flow, and turned it to work."
Brother Yu immediately denied him: "Ya Zai, how could you say it? This thing is estimated to be more than three and a half tons, so how could the water flow behave?"
He looked around and said, "Did this thing roll down from somewhere?"
"Professor Wang, stop studying it. Let's hurry up and we will not be able to get to the basin tomorrow."
Lao Fu was not interested in the big millstone and urged us to rush forward.
"Huh? Look, are you talking about it?" Xiaoxuan suddenly discovered.
"What words? Let's take a look."
This look.
Just at the edge of the side where the big millstone was lying on the ground, a few words were exposed, and they couldn't see them completely. Only some strokes were seen because they were pressed down.
"Would you like to think of a way to turn it over? I have a crowbar in my bag," I said.
Brother Yu immediately said: "It doesn't work, our pry...the crowbar is too short and cannot be used."???.
Lao Fu was right next to him, and Brother Yu almost let it go.
He wanted to say: "The crowbar we used to pry the coffin is too short." Fortunately, Brother Yu changed his mouth in time.
I thought of a solution.
He asked us to dig underground with a shovel, hollow out the edge, and then drill down and look upwards.
This method is both labor-saving and efficient, and is not good at all, and it is easy to crush people to death.
When he saw the shovel, Lao Fu asked in surprise: "This is the Luoyang shovel, right? I have seen it on TV. This is what the archaeological team uses."
"Yes, our team often uses this, it won't work without it." I smiled.
I quickly dug the hole, and I crawled in with my upper body, and then turned over with difficulty.
I wiped the dust with my hands, but I still couldn't see clearly because the soil was too big.
I shouted to the outside: "Xiaoxuan, use your flashlight and knife for me."
The space was too small, so I took the thing and bite the strong light flashlight and scraped off a thick layer of soil with a knife.
See clearly.
"Qin...Qin Feng Road, what bureau is there for money?"
I really couldn't recognize the word in the middle, and there was a line of small words engraved under the millstone.
I crawled out and asked, "Where is Qinfeng Road? Is this place name here in Kangding?"
Lao Fu shook his head and said he didn't know, he had never heard of such a place.
At this moment, he frowned and stared at the big millstone.
After looking at his head for several minutes, he suddenly looked up and said, "I understand. A long time ago, the Xixia people passed by here and left this thing. This thing is close to the roadside because it rolled down from the carriage back then."
"Yunfeng, the word you just saw should be complete... Qinfeng Road Money Supervision Bureau accompanied."
"In other words, this thing is not a millstone used by farmers to grind grain, but it looks like a millstone. It is a cultural relic and should be a drying stone."
"Hooking stone?"
Douyazai looked at it and asked in confusion: "Did the ancients think that the rice is too hot and pour it over and let it cool down and eat it?"
"Fan! Not a fan!" He shouted helplessly: "It's Qian Fan!"
Douyazai still shook his head: "I don't know, I only know Maifanshi. My uncle used Maifanshi water cup to drink tea."
"Yunfeng, what do you think? Do you know?" asked me.
I said I don't know.
He reminded me: "Qinfeng Road Money Crime Centre was a coin minting bureau near the northwest during the Northern Song Dynasty."
A flash of inspiration in my mind.
I clapped my hands!
"I know what's going on!"
