Chapter 470 Failure and Mentality
“Next, my adopted brother and I began to focus on collecting the stories of many bandits in Erli Township, and then we discovered that my godfather’s hometown... this is not simple...”
"Hehehe..." Godfather smiled and said: "This place is far away from Hongshui in Guizhou Province is closer than Jiachuan. There are countless mountain roads and it is only a few steps away from northern Yunnan. It is not suitable for ordinary goods, but there is one thing that must be passed here."
"What is it? ?”
“Take the main road of Yuntu”
Zhou Zhi understood why during this period of interviews, the fellow villagers around him said that this was the old road used by the Guizhou pony gang to travel, but when he asked about the goods, they all hesitated. It turned out to be smuggled opium!
“Don’t blame it for the rampant banditry along the way, everyone is staring at this big fat piece of meat...”
“No need to say more, continue to express your opinions.”
“Oh, that’s right, we focused on collecting There are legends around it that bandits once gathered there, and it may be related to Monk Wu. "
"For example, here, King Kong Rock, there was a group of bandits here, and the name of the bandit leader was Sai Jingang. ”
"For example, there is Guanyin Cliff here. It is said that bandits built a nest on it in order to avoid being hunted down."
"In addition, there are Medicine Master Cave, Bodhisattva Cave, and Lotus Peak. These are all related to Buddhism. Related terms, we guess that if Yuanxiu became a bandit, One of them should be chosen as the place to build the cabinet. "
"And this place should be cool, dry, ventilated, sheltered from rain, and most importantly, inaccessible and safe. So the Danxia Grottoes on the cliff. , is undoubtedly the best choice," Mr. Qiao added.
“We have already explored Jingang Cliff and found the village built by Sai Jingang. There are only some stone house foundations left there, and some traces of life, such as broken pottery pots and iron pots. "
"It's quite an interesting place, but there's no sign of the Dragon Tibetan Sutra," Mr. Qiao said.
"In the next few days, my adopted brother and I are going to investigate along the route of Guanyin Cliff, Yaoshi Cave, Lotus Peak, and Bodhisattva Cave, and investigate in order, hoping to find some clues."
"Jingangzhai? You guys? How did you get up there?"
"My classmate Fang Wenyu has a "Military Military Training Manual" at home, which contains information on armed cross-country, obstacles, swimming, etc."
"That's also in the book! "The godfather glared.
“Actually, there is a more scientific textbook—Sports Illustrated! It introduces a series of mountaineering tools!”
Just some time ago, a mountain that was far more difficult than Mount Everest was spotted by the Sino-Japanese joint mountaineering team and was ready to climb.
The name of that peak is Namjagbarwa Peak. Although the altitude is only 7782 meters, it is known as the "Father of Mountains" and has never been conquered by anyone.
Sports Illustrated also took advantage of the popularity and published several series of content introducing mountaineering and the latest tools and methods of foreign mountaineering.
Those tools can be counterfeited, so Zhou Zhi found some young workers from the waterworks in Jiachuan to make a batch for himself.
"You still have to pay attention to safety." The godfather is much better than the parents in this regard, or it can be said that he doesn't show it well: "Call as many people as possible, and call as many people as possible."
After saying that, he seemed to have made up his mind: "Keep an invoice for the required funds and report them, and the county can try to solve part of it."
"Thank you godfather." Zhou Zhi is actually more grateful that his godfather is willing Let yourself and your adopted brother let go: "We will definitely take the safety issue very seriously." "There is no need for a heavy hammer to play the drum, so I won't say more." The godfather nodded: "And don't be too obsessed. to Treat it as a science or empirical study, and remember to get into the thick of it.”
“This thing has an engraving in the capital anyway, and the Qianlong Tripitaka was included in the first National Book Award. It is also an award-winning book, so it doesn’t matter whether I can find the Jiachuan version.”
That’s what I say, but it would be a pity if I really can’t find it.
Wu Lingjun was actually telling the two children that such regrets are normal in archaeological research like this.
Such an attempt may be just one of countless failed attempts by countless people.
Don’t let the nine hundred and ninety-nine failures ruin your mentality, so that you can achieve the last success.
Zhou Zhi pointed to the horseshoe cup on the table with a smile: "Anyway, I have seen two sets of cups, so it is a worthwhile trip."
The godfather then understood. Tao Guer Zhouzhi had no intention of taking action at all, he was just planning to keep it in his pocket.
But now was not the time to discuss this matter, so I had no choice but to glare at Zhou Zhi: "Pack it yourself. If I get a little bumpy when I get to Jiachuan, can Goddess Qin and I afford the compensation with our wages?"
After that, I will give you the remaining four thousand yuan Qian pushed it over and glared at Zhou Zhi again: "Save your money, don't try to take action on everything you see!"
I don't want to take action. There are not many things in the exhibition hall of the County Cultural Center, and Zhou Zhi's face is submissive. , punched hard from the bottom of my heart.
No matter what, my godfather is still very satisfied with this trip to Fawang Temple. The main reason is that Zhou Zhi did the work very carefully and it was another fruitful field trip.
Fawang Temple has not yet become a provincial immovable cultural relic. When Zhouzhi brings all the inspection contents back to Jiachuan and connects them into special materials, they can be taken together with the Jiachuan Cliff Tomb and the Divine Arm City ruins. The province applied.
Although the current era is still in a stage where many things are waiting to be done in terms of cultural preservation work, in other words, it is also a stage where results can easily be achieved.
Wu Lingjun couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he looked at what Zhou Zhi had made. This boy has a very tough character and seems to be born to do this.
With these results in mind, I don’t mind working as a porter for Zhou Zhi, bringing back two sets of cups for him and handing them over to my fourth cousin for appraisal and safekeeping.
Cixiang is even more happy. Sixteen thousand yuan is a huge fortune.
The monks of Fawang Temple have been preparing materials for generations, including nanmu and red sandstone strips. Now with this money, we can repair Fawang Temple inside and outside by contracting work but not materials. .
In the words of Wang Lingtong, the old man who is called the Lion King by old artists, Master Cixiang, if you give me five thousand wages and rice and beans, I can take my eldest apprentice to chisel stones for you at Fawang Temple for a year!
Since all these good things were brought about by Zhou Zhi, and Zhou Zhi came here for the lost scriptures from Fawang Temple, he simply sent his disciple Heng Fa. You will just follow the elbow and the wood these days. Run away!
In addition to being careful when climbing uphill, there are many venomous snakes in the mountains at this time, so remember to bring snake medicine with you!
Under the leadership of Heng Fa, Zhou Zhi and Master Qiao finally started their journey into the mountains and forests.
The mountain forest seems impassable to outsiders, but in the eyes and feet of Hengfa, it is a different story.
Many of them seemed to have no roads, or were dense and dark old forests covered with leaves. Hengfa could always take them into them, and then emerge from the other end to reach a stream or ridge and find the old forest. You can continue your journey on the stone-cut "foot nest" or wooden ladder.
