Chapter 102 Turning over the altar of the ancestor temple

This shout was so amazing that elementary school students liked to watch the fun the most, and they swung around the floor. The teachers did not react so quickly. The kids surrounded Chen Santu in the middle, and there were many people around several floors. Many people didn't hear anything Chen Santu shouted at, just to watch the fun.

The one in front heard Chen Santu shouting. At this time, it was very strange to look at the wall hidden under the shrub. The turn of the wall was not the red bricks I usually see, but the rare blue bricks. Blue bricks are rare in rural areas, and only some very ancient houses may use blue bricks. The old houses in Meiziao are basically wooden houses. Only some of the old houses of the former landlord Lao Cai were made of blue bricks. The places where the blue bricks were used were mainly temples and pagodas. The Wenchang Tower in Gezhuping Town are all blue bricks, which looks very simple. I didn’t expect that there were buildings built with blue bricks in Meiziao Primary School.

"Everything is spread out! Don't surround me here!" Ma Lisong immediately walked over when he saw the movement here, dispersed the students who were watching the fun, and walked to the place where he discovered the wall.

"Principal Ma, what's going on here? Didn't Meiziao Primary School be here before? How could there be walls?" Zhang Shunlin walked over and asked.

When Ma Lisong was building an elementary school in Meiziao Brigade, he became one of several private teachers at Meiziao Primary School. He had just graduated from Gezhuping Town Middle School and returned home. He was also an intellectual in Meiziao Brigade. Naturally, he knew the situation of the initial establishment of the school.

"This place was indeed a barren mountain, but it was not deserted from the beginning. In fact, it was originally lush and it was the best place with the scenery of Meiziao. There was a Taoist temple in Meishan. When the Four Olds were broken, this temple was not spared. It was smashed by a group of Red Guards. Later, all the trees in the woods were cut down and steel were refined, and this place became a barren mountain. By 1960, our Meiziao Brigade built an elementary school and chose this place. In the past, there were many blue bricks in this place. When the school was built, many blue bricks were moved from here to build a school." Ma Lisong was still very clear about the situation of this place.

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

"What should I do here?" Zhang Shunlin asked.

"What should I do? Of course I will clean it up as well. So many years have passed. This place has been deserted for a long time. These bricks are just used to build teaching buildings, and it will save you one sum." Ma Lisong just wanted to save money everywhere.

No one in the village dared to use Taoist temples or temple bricks to build houses because they would be afraid of the punishment of gods. But Ma Lisong built a school, so he was not so worried. Back then, he was also one of the group of people who came to smash the Taoist temple with red armbands.

"Drill these blue bricks first and move them to the stadium. You guys come here." Ma Lisong recruited Chen Santu and other students who had just been driven away by him.

Chen Santu ran over immediately, picked up the hoe and knocked hard on the low wall. The Taoist temple was built very solidly. Chen Santu passed by a hoe, but he couldn't knock down a brick. Instead, he bounced the hoe back and almost hit his own foot.

"Be careful. Don't use brute force." Ma Lisong quickly took the hoe from Chen Santu's hand, aimed at one end of the blue brick, and knocked it with a little force, and the blue brick loosened. He easily took off the blue brick, and then handed the hoe back to Chen Santu. "Don't worry, just knock it slowly. This brick is useful."

Zhang Yaohua has never done anything, but is quite interested in the ruins of the Taoist temple.

"Wait a minute, I'll take a look." Zhang Yaohua suddenly saw something strange on a brick, and immediately walked over and took the brick from Chen Santu.

Chen Santu also knew Zhang Jiaohua. There shouldn't be many people in Meiziao Primary School who didn't know each other. Therefore, he did not go against Zhang Jiaohua. Zhang Jiaohua had been so amazing in Meiziao Village. Ordinary kids dare not fight against Zhang Jiaohua.

The brick that caught Zhang Yaohua's attention was indeed extraordinary. It had characters on it, and it was made of a mold. The characters on it were preserved very well and were very clear. There were five words written on it: Fen Tan Zushi Temple.

The ancestor of the Fen Tan is Zhang Wulang. This is the ancestor of the Meishan Sect. Zhang Yaohua seems to have never heard the old Taoist priest say that the Meishan Sect has a special temple for Zhang Wulang. Unexpectedly, there is one here in Meiziao.

Many of the blue bricks on the broken wall were stamped with fonts. Some of them were pressed with the temple of the Fentan Temple, some of them were pressed with the years of construction, and some of them were blessed. At first, these primary school students from Meiziao Primary School were very interested, but they gradually felt bored later. All the bricks were moved to the stadium, and the stone foundation was dug below. They were all square stones, so these stones were naturally not something these primary school students could do. Ma Lisong could only decide to wait until the construction team came in the future before cleaning them.

But the curiosity of the brat is never stopped. Chen Santu and a group of children are still digging under the broken wall, and they actually dug out something. First, someone dug out a big money. The big money was found in the gap under the foundation. It must have been a pilgrim who accidentally fell into it in the past.

This discovery completely aroused the kids' desire to hunt for treasures. A large group of kids rushed forward, rushing to dig for treasures.

Ma Lisong did not stop him. Anyway, the treasure digging action was consistent with the general direction of digging the foundation. At first, he was worried that the children's progress was too slow. Now, it was fine, and he and the school teachers needed to urge him, so the progress could progress quickly.

Zhang Jiaohua is also very interested. Which child has no dream of digging treasures? Zhang Jiaohua took his own hoe and dashed around the broken wall. He was not lucky. In addition to digging some broken tiles from the ancestor temple in the past, there were some wooden blocks that had not decayed after so many years. I don’t know what kind of paint was painted on it, which actually prevented these small blocks from being eroded by wind and rain.

"Look! What is this?" someone suddenly shouted. From his voice, he must have made another huge discovery.

Everyone surrounded him, and everyone seemed to see what kind of treasure they had discovered.

Zhang Yaohua was shorter than the senior students. Even if she stood on tiptoe, she couldn't see the situation inside. She walked around the crowd for several times, but saw nothing. With his strength, she couldn't squeeze in from the crowd. Suddenly, she moved her head, squatted on the ground, and looked under the kids' crotch. The person who had discovered something had taken out a black thing from the soil, which seemed to be a small statue of a Bodhisattva.
