80s Taoism

This shout was unbelievable, elementary school students like to watch the excitement most, and surrounded them all at once. The teachers were not so quick to respond. The fart boys surrounded Chen Santu in the middle, surrounded by several layers of people. Many people didn't hear what Chen Santu shouted at all, they just went to watch the excitement.

The one in front heard what Chen Santu shouted, and it was very strange to look at the wall hidden under the bushes. The turning heads on this wall are not the usual red bricks, but rare blue bricks. Blue bricks are rare in rural areas, and only some very old houses may use blue bricks. The old houses in Meiziao are basically wooden houses. Only part of the old house of the former landlord Lao Cai was built with blue bricks. The places where blue bricks are used most are mainly temples and pagodas. The Wenchang Pagoda in Gezhuping Town is all made of green bricks, and it looks very simple. Unexpectedly, Meizi'ao Primary School also has buildings built with blue bricks.

"Everyone spread out! Don't crowd around here!" Ma Lisong immediately walked over when he saw the movement here, dispersed the students who were watching the excitement, and walked to the place where he found the wall.

"Principal Ma, what's the situation here. Wasn't Meizi'ao Primary School a barren hill before? How could there be walls?" Zhang Shunlin came over and asked.

When Ma Lisong built the primary school in the Meizi'ao Brigade, he became one of several private teachers in the Meizi'ao Primary School. At that time, he had just graduated from Gezhuping Town Middle School and returned home. It can also be regarded as an intellectual in the Meiziao Brigade. Naturally, we know the situation of the school being built in the first place.

"It used to be a barren hill, but it wasn't deserted at the beginning. In fact, it was lush with trees at the beginning, and this is the place with the best scenery in Meizi'ao. There is a Taoist temple of Meishan Sect here. When the Four Olds were destroyed, this Taoist temple was not spared. It was smashed by a group of red guards. Later, all the trees in the forest were cut down to make steel, and this place became a barren hill. In 1960, our Meizi'ao brigade built a primary school, so we chose this place. There used to be a lot of green bricks in this place. A lot of blue bricks were moved from here to build a school." Ma Lisong is still very clear about the situation in this place.

Zhang Shunlin had heard about some of the situations here before, but he didn't expect that this was the specific location of the original Taoist temple.

"Then what should we do here?" Zhang Shunlin asked.

"What should we do? Of course we should clean it up as usual. It's been so many years. This place has been deserted for a long time. These bricks just happened to be used to build teaching buildings, so it would save a lot of money." Ma Lisong only wanted to save money.

No one in the village would dare to take bricks from Taoist temples or temples to build houses, because they would be afraid of the punishment of the gods. But Ma Lisong built a school, so he didn't have such worries. Back then, he was also one of the group wearing red armbands who ran over to smash Taoist temples.

"Knock down these blue bricks first, and move them to Caoping. All of you come here." Ma Lisong recruited Chen Santu and other students who had been driven away by him just now.

Chen Santu immediately ran over, picked up a hoe and pounded hard on the low wall. The Taoist temple was built very solidly. Chen Santu went over with a hoe, but failed to knock down a brick. Instead, he bounced the hoe back, almost hitting his own foot.

"Be careful. Don't use brute force." Ma Lisong quickly took the hoe from Chen Santu's hand, pointed it at one end of the green brick, and tapped it with a little force, and the green brick was loosened, and the green brick was easily removed. Then he returned the hoe to Chen Santu, "Don't worry, just knock slowly. This brick is still useful."

Zhang Jiaohua had nothing to do, but was quite interested in the ruins of the Taoist temple.

"Wait a minute, let me take a look." Zhang Jiaohua suddenly saw something strange on a brick, and immediately walked over to take the brick from Chen Santu's hand.

Chen Santu also knew Zhang Jiaohua. Meizi'ao Primary School should not know many people. Therefore, he did not oppose Zhang Jiaohua. Zhang Jiaohua has been passed on in Meizi'ao Village beyond belief. Ordinary fart kids dare not go against Zhang Jiaohua.

The brick that caught Zhang Jiaohua's attention was really unusual, it had words on it, and it was made by pressing molds. The above words are well preserved and very clear. There are five characters written on it: Fantan Patriarch Temple.

The founder of Fantan is Zhang Wulang. This is the founder of Meishan Sect. Zhang Jiaohua didn't seem to have heard the old Taoist say that Meishan Sect has a temple dedicated to Zhang Wulang. Unexpectedly, there is one here in Meiziao.

Many of the blue bricks on the ruined wall are embossed with lettering, some of which are of the Fantan Patriarch Temple, some of the year of construction, and some words of blessing. At the beginning, the pupils of Meizi'ao Primary School were very interested, but they gradually became bored later on. All the bricks have been moved to the playground, and the stone foundation has been dug below. They are all square stones, and these stones are naturally beyond the reach of these primary school students. Ma Lisong could only decide to wait for the construction team to come and then clean up.

But fart boy's curiosity is always unstoppable. Chen Santu and a group of children were still digging under the ruined wall, and unexpectedly dug out some things. First, someone dug up a large coin. Big money was found from the cracks under the foundation. Presumably the former pilgrims accidentally fell into it.

This discovery completely aroused the treasure hunting hearts of the fart children. A large group of fart kids swarmed up, scrambling to dig treasures one after another.

Ma Lisong did not try to stop it. Anyway, the treasure digging operation was in the same direction as the foundation digging. At first, he was worried that the children's progress was too slow. It's all right now, without any urging from him and the school's teachers, the progress can be made quickly.

Zhang Jiaohua is also quite interested. Which child does not have a dream of digging treasures? Zhang Jiaohua took his own hoe and randomly planed along the broken wall. But luck is not good, in addition to digging up some broken tiles from the former Patriarch Temple, there are some wooden blocks that have not decayed after so many years. I don't know what kind of paint was painted on it, but it was able to keep these small pieces of wood from being eroded by wind and rain.

"Look! What is this?" Suddenly someone shouted. It can be known from his voice that he must have made another huge discovery.

Everyone gathered around, everyone wanted to see what kind of treasure they found.

Zhang Jiaohua was a bit shorter than those senior students, even if he stood on tiptoe, he couldn't see clearly what was going on inside. I walked around the crowd several times, but saw nothing. Even with his strength, he couldn't squeeze through the crowd. With a sudden brain movement, he squatted on the ground and looked over from under the feet of the farts. I saw that the person who had discovered something took out a black thing from the soil, which seemed to be a small statue of a Bodhisattva.
