Chapter 16: Stone Buddha in Tibetan Tree

At noon, Zhang Fan bought two Chinese for Zhang Dashan's parents before driving back to school. It was found that there were only Zhang Dashan and Wang Jie in the dormitory. Qin Hao still did not return.
"Let's go 3, Qin Hao should not come." Wang Jie sighed.
Zhang Fan nodded, 3 people went downstairs and went straight to the suburbs of 汴京.
Zhang Zhang's father, Zhang Zhang, with the unique enthusiasm and simplicity of the rural people, learned that when we came we killed a big rooster and made a table to welcome us.
"Are you going to the Great Temple?" After learning that we were here, Zhang Zhang frowned, and frowned. "You are here late, the Great Temple was demolished yesterday, and the trees are sawed. It is estimated that the roots of the trees are today. Planed out. "
"So fast?" Zhang Fan was disappointed for a while.
"Yes, there is one left." Zhang father said.
"It's that big locust tree," Zhang Dashan guessed.
"Yes."
"What big locust tree?" Zhang Fan and Wang Jie asked.
His father Zhang put down his chopsticks, ordered a Chinese, took a deep breath, and praised: "This Chinese is better than Hongmei, it's powerful."
Spitting smoke circles, Zhang Father said: "It is amazing to talk about this big locust tree, which has been growing for more than 200 years. It is a national second-level protected plant. It was there before the completion of the big temple, but it is an ancient tree. . "
"Ancient tree, you need to know more about it." Zhang Fan became more interested.
"Okay, I'll take you to see when you're done."
"Trouble your uncle then."
Father Zhang Zhang saw that we were interested in this ancient tree, and also came to Xingdian, and while eating, he told us something about the ancient tree.
It turned out that Zhang Father had a class in a big temple when he was a kid. He had nightmares every night after school. He became ill after only one month. Then he heard that a middle-aged monk came from the temple and escaped from the temple during the Cultural Revolution. Disciple, after the monk came back, after reading the sutra under the big locust tree for two days, it was strange. Since the monk left, although the temple was still sullen, the children who went to school never did it again. After a nightmare, everyone in the village said that this monk had the real ability to catch the ghosts in the big temple.
After hearing this story, Zhang Fan and Wang Jie were even more curious. After eating three mouthfuls, Zhang Fu took him to the temple.
The Great Temple is not too far away from the Zhang family, and arrived in less than 20 minutes.
After Zhang Fan arrived, he was a little disappointed. Because of the urbanization of the countryside, the old house and the surrounding walls of the Great Temple have been demolished, and several large national locusts have been sawn into several sections, and even the roots of the trees have been dug Come out and throw it in the corner.
Fortunately, the big locust tree mentioned by Zhang Father was still there, and it was not sawn, but there was also an excavator digging beside it.
After I got there, Zhang ’s father let us take a look slowly, and we went to the excavator, knocked on the window, handed the driver a cigarette, and called to chat.
I waited for the excavator to stop, and Zhang Fan3 had the opportunity to go up and take a closer look.
"This big locust tree is a national second-level protected plant and has been protected by the government. It must be dug away and transplanted elsewhere, or it will be gone for a long time," Zhang Dashan said.
Zhang Fan glanced at this big locust tree, it may be too old. This big locust tree doesn't grow very well, and its branches are sparse. Because of the variety, it is only less than 4 meters high, but the diameter is very thick, surrounded by 3 people. To surround it.
"It's worthy of being a Class 2 protected plant. It's really big enough. This tree is a few tons."
"Of course, after all, it hasn't grown for more than 200 years." Zhang Dashan is quite proud of a big tree in his hometown. "But this tree is not as heavy as you think."
"Oh? How?" Zhang Fan oddly said.
"Look here, the heart of this tree is empty, and the soil is inside." Wang Jie pointed to the crown and replied for Zhang Dashan.
Zhang Fan looked up and found that there was a large hole in the trunk of 3 meters. After a few meters of receding, he could see the earth and stones in the heart of the tree, not solid.
"How is this going?"
"Speaking of which, this big tree is a hero." Zhang Dashan patted the trunk and said, "During the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese devil surrounded the Eighth Route Army. One of the Eighth Route soldiers couldn't get away. The villagers thought of a way. A tree hole was dug out in the worm-eaten place, hollowed out the tree heart, and escaped the Eighth Route Warrior.
"There is still such a thing?" Zhang Fan thought the fate of this tree was too wonderful.
"That is of course. After the Cultural Revolution, the big locust tree became a level 2 protected plant. In order to prevent the rain from soaking the heart of the tree, the brigade filled the tree with mud. It is also because of this. It's going to die every year, and it doesn't look very good. So the big locust tree is not as heavy as you think, and you see, the roots of this tree have been dug out and the weight is lighter. "
Zhang Dashan said, kicking a thick tree root cut by an excavator.
Zhang Fan didn't bother Zhang Dashan's sigh. He touched the trunk of the big locust tree with one hand, and sensed it carefully.
"It's blue and white, but it's really cold under this big tree."
"There is a shade under this big tree, of course, it needs to be cooler," Wang Jie explained in silence.
"Maybe." Zhang Fan also said no reason.
This big temple is almost dismantled and there is nothing to see. After a while, Zhang Dashan took 2 people to eat fresh walnuts in the mountainous area of ​​his house.
Late at night.
Zhang Fan listened in bed and found that Zhang Dashan's family and Wang Jie were asleep. He put on his clothes and went over the wall.
After rushing all the way, Zhang Fan came to the temple.
The excavator dug for another afternoon. The big locust tree had been dug out, and the roots were covered with a straw mat and fell to the side. It looked like it would be pulled away tomorrow.
"It's okay, it's almost too late."
Zhang Fan breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the big locust tree, lifted it hard, the big locust tree shook and couldn't lift it.
"This is estimated to be 6 or 7 tons."
Zhang Fan let go of his hand and groaned.
的 The soil layer wrapped by the root of this big locust tree is very thick, nearly 2 meters thick, and its diameter is twice the diameter of the trunk. Obviously, the environmental protection department is worried that this tree is too old and the damage is too heavy to survive.
"It seems that the soil layer needs to be removed."
帆 Zhang Fan broke the rope tied with the straw mat, turned his hands into claws, dropped half of the soil layer and stopped, and the rest of the soil layer was wrapped in the roots of the big locust tree and he could not continue digging.
He stopped, raised it again, and found that it was worse.
"It seems that the soil in the heart of the tree is going to be shaved. UU 看书 www.uukanshu.com"
Zhang Fan went to the canopy and dug again.
的 The soil in the heart of this tree is half a meter wide, and the depth is not clear.
Digging more than 2 meters deep, Zhang Fan's fingers suddenly struck a hard object.
咦 "Oh, what is this?"
帆 Zhang Fan was surprised, he practiced, but the iron sand palm, even the stone can be crushed, but did not scratch the hard object.
"Weird."
Zhang Fan felt it, found the location of the hard object, dug it a few times, dug out the hard object, peeled off the dirt from the hard object, and saw the appearance of the hard object with the help of moonlight.
"It's a Buddha statue."
Zhang Fan dragged a palm-sized stone statue with a quiet and peaceful heart.
"This must be a treasure, it may be a magic weapon."
Zhang Fan remembered that Zhang Father had said that a monk was reading a sutra under a big locust tree. Now, when I think about it, it must be that the monk put the statue in the heart of the tree, only to shake the evil spirit of the big locust tree.
He put the stone Buddha carefully in his arms, and Zhang Fan cleaned out the sand and stones in the tree hole and got out of it.
With more than half of the weight removed, Zhang Huai was finally lifted by Zhang Fan.
He threw the big locust tree beside Miss Li's grave for a while, came out and looked at several large national locust trees that had been severed. These national locust trees have also been in use for decades, and they should also absorb bad anger, Zhang Fan also No waste, all moved to the other world and piled up next to the grave.
After Xu was evacuated, Zhang Fan quietly returned to the Zhang family.
