Chapter 2263 The old well in the temple
Half an hour later, Jiao Chuanen drove an old cheetah off-road vehicle to pick up Wang Zan in the wind and rain.
"What did you mean to me before? Why didn't I understand? Why is this flood prevention related to you..."
Wang Zan wiped the rain on his face with a tissue and said, "I can't tell you the things that are too complicated. After all, you are not from this area. Follow me and I will go wherever I ask you to go. Then if you mobilize people, you have to understand as soon as possible, and this heavy rain may have passed."
"Brother, don't cheat me. You can't leave the post in this flood prevention work. I'm currently inspecting you. I think I have to go back to my post after I pick you up. If it really doesn't work, I'll throw the car to you. You drive over wherever you want to go. I can't run around with you." Jiao Chuanen said cautiously.
"Pa" Wang Zan took out a small notebook from his body, slapped it in the car and said, "Is it okay to have this? If someone asks, just push it on me. I guarantee you no problem, and... what I want to do is indeed related to the situation, and not to take you around, do you understand?"
Jiao Chuanen thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, you are quite reliable, I believe you in this!"
"Where are you going?"
"North Mountain!"
The entire urban area is like a flood of Jinshan. The above area is OK. In some low-lying areas and areas with unfavorable drainage, the water reaches the ankle, but the situation will immediately be different after driving from the slope to the bottom of the slope.
The body of this off-road vehicle, Cheetah, is quite tall, but when they drive down, anyone has already over half of the wheels. And the deeper the water goes down, the more water becomes, the more water is, the more water is leaking in the car.
Jiao Chuanen sighed and said, "Since I can remember, Shuangyang has never had such a big water, and I don't know what's going on. If the rain falls for two more days, it's okay to say above, but the lower part will probably be flooded. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be right. Do we have a big river?"
"Shuangyang City has been safe all these years. That's because it was blessed. This year it suddenly rained heavily and flooded the city because of some unexpected situation..."
Jiao Chuanen asked in confusion: "What's the situation?"
"I'll talk about it after arriving in Beishan, I'll take a look!"
When the car arrived at the foot of Beishan Mountain, everyone had already passed the car door. After the two got off, they saw the water over their knees. They waded on the water and came to the stairs. Wang Zan raised his head and looked at the temple on the top of the mountain.
Wang Zan has a strong impression of this temple. In the past, there was this temple on the mountain, but because there was no incense, it was in a semi-devoured state. Later, I don’t know if it was the official fundraising or the sponsorship of a merchant, so the temple was rebuilt.
Wang Zan had been here with his classmates several times when he was in school, because there were many caves behind the temple, which were dug out during the wars before, and a group of classmates liked to come here to play.
Now more than ten years have passed, and the temple is still the same as before, and there has been basically no change.
Wang Zan and Jiao Chuanen came up from the stairs at the foot of the mountain and walked to the entrance of the temple, and found that the temple was quite dilapidated.
Wang Zan frowned and said, "I remember that even though the incense here was not very strong, there were still people coming here, and there were a few monks. Why is it like this now?"
"I don't know either. I've been here three or four times before, but I heard that the monk in the temple has left, no one has taken care of, and the superiors have no funds to allocate. Over time, it's like this. By the way, what are you doing here? Does it have anything to do with flood prevention?"
"Look, let's talk about it, it's hard to make a conclusion now!"
After the two entered the temple, there was really nothing incense in this place, just like several walls collapsed and the blue bricks on the ground bulged. After they entered the temple, a monk did not see it, and many Buddha statues in the lobby were covered with dust, so it was obvious that no one had paid much attention to it.
They came in and stayed in the front hall for a while, and a monk came over and asked, "Two donors, what's the matter?"
Wang Zan asked in surprise: "Master, is your temple a little too bleak? No one is maintaining it inside and outside. You don't care about it if you are broken into this city?"
The monk smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "I understand that there is nothing we can do about it. We have been like this in the past few years. Now there are too few people burning incense and worshiping Buddha here, and we don't allocate money. We can only waste it like this. The front is better, but the situation behind is not as good as here. And mainly, the donor who donated here is no longer alive."
"Can we go back and take a look?" Wang Zan said with a frown, then took out a few pieces of money from his pocket and handed it to the merit box.
"That's OK, there is no place for opening opposite people behind..."
The area behind the temple is not big, with only a few wing rooms left besides one yard. Wang Zan and Jiao Chuanen walked around and came to the yard.
There was a dry well in the yard. Wang Zan squinted his eyes and looked over for a long time. Then he looked down at his head for several times. A cool breath suddenly came to his face.
The well was obviously dry, and there was nothing underneath it. However, one thing that made people different was that there was an iron chain tied on the manhole cover next to it, which extended all the way down the well. Wang Zan tried to lift it but did not pull it.
"Master, do you know what this is for?" Wang Zan turned his head and asked.
The master of Beishan Temple said, "This temple was already in place before I came, but it is not like this now. It was renovated. It was found here before, and it seemed like it had to be a thousand years? I heard that it was a small temple a long time ago, but it was destroyed during the War of Liberation. It was repaired once after the Liberation, but it was not thorough. A few years ago, a wealthy businessman came here to repair it again, but it has not been taken care of in the past two years. As for the well you mentioned, I heard that it seemed that it had existed before the temple was built, but I don't understand why there was an iron chain tied, but there are rumors that there was a dragon tied to the other end of the chain?"
Jiao Chuanen said: "I have heard this legend, and the elderly in the family always say this."
