Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Smoke and the Waves Are Enormous
Leaving Yazhou and turning west, Zhou Ming and his party entered Hongzhou. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hongzhou, the state of floods, means that this state has a lot of water and is prone to flooding.
The reason for this is that Zhou Ming saw on the [World Map] that in the territory of the Great Zhou, the Zhongjiang River and the Nanjiang River, which are abundant in water, and the central basin of the two major rivers have converged a vast Ze area in Hongzhou, forming a storage lake with an area of 100,000 square kilometers, with a strong flood storage capacity.
This lake, the name is: Yunmeng Lake.
According to legend, this lake is the third prince of the Dragon King of the East China Sea Ao Qu is the place of the seal, in charge of 100,000 water tribes and millions of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, strong, proud and complacent Ao Qu, gather craftsmen, at the bottom of the big lake, built a week long 100 miles of Longting City, and built a hundred zhang high golden dragon seat, openly overstepped, self-proclaimed "Water Dragon King", to dominate all the water tribes in the rivers and lakes, want to fight against the Dragon King of the Four Seas, and do not respect the orders of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, set up a new Ze country, name: Yunmeng Country.
This kind of rebellious behavior, naturally attracted the joint conquest of the four sea dragon kings, an earth-shattering, turbid waves, countless casualties of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, Ao Qu was defeated, the dragon head was cut off in the broken dragon platform, the dragon body was abandoned in the trapped dragon pool, the dragon claw was abandoned in the five claws stream, and the dragon tail was abandoned in the dragon tail mountain...... These places have become the most dangerous places around Yunmeng Lake, and they are also regarded as a symbol of Ao Qu's courage to challenge the four seas and be glorious despite defeat.
In commemoration of Ao Qu, the name of Yunmeng Lake, as the head of all lakes, has been continued.
Zhou Ming also saw on the [World Map] that Yunmeng Lake, shaped like a child's placenta in the womb, has a circumference of more than 2,000 kilometers, and it is a boat ride, from the southernmost point to the northernmost point, the shortest has a water distance of thousands of miles, so it is not an exaggeration to use "thousands of miles of smoke waves" to describe Yunmeng Lake.
It takes seven days to take a large passenger ship with a slower speed, a journey of more than 1,000 miles.
Not only that, the vast Yunmeng Lake, in the case of large wind and waves, there is a saying that "the waves are higher than the sea", many surging areas, dangerous and abnormal, coupled with dense reefs, only the oldest boatman can find the safest route on this lake with no reference.
"Gott~"
"Gott~"
Less than a day after getting on the boat, Chu Jingling vomited more than (not pregnant, Zhou Ming has always paid attention to safety), seasickness to the point of eating and vomiting, unable to eat anything at all, his face was pale, without a trace of blood, Zhou Ming was anxious and thought hard about countermeasures.
He didn't expect that Chu Jingling, who claimed to have been on the boat many times, could swim, and would not get seasick, would vomit like this when he encountered a slightly bigger scene.
At this time, it was impossible for him to ask the shipwharf to drive back the big ship that had been hundreds of miles away from the shore, and there were more than 300 other passengers on board, and they would not agree, because of one person, and delay everyone's trip.
I used all kinds of methods to no avail, and when I saw the "Jiaowei Qin" placed in the corner of the cabin, one method suddenly counted Zhou Ming's heart:
"The reason why people get motion sickness is because the vestibular master in the cochlea is too sensitive to normal movement, as long as the sense of motion of the vestibular master is isolated, won't the effect of preventing seasickness be achieved?"
And the Jiaowei piano, the unique sound played, has the function of making people lose their senses, enter the illusion, and even forget where they are and what they are doing?
Of course, only a handful of the most top-notch luthiers can achieve this kind of exaggeration.
This is difficult for Zhou Ming.
picked up the limp Chu Jingling from the bed, helped her to sit half-at the head of the bed, and retched uncomfortably in her bout.
"Moan~"
Dangdang, dingding......
"Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", Zhou Ming, who memorized this piano song after listening to it once, not only plays it better, but also has many places that have been modified by him, which can make people enter a higher level of artistic conception.
"Lang Jun, I seem to have gone to another place just now, and my head is not dizzy at all. ”
After the song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" was played, Chu Jingling, whose face was obviously much better-looking, looked at him with a surprised face and said.
Zhou Ming nodded, it would be good if it had an effect, and said to her: "I'll play a few more piano songs for you to make you more comfortable." ”
"Well, Xie Langjun. ”
Chu Jingling sighed, looking at Ai Lang caressing the qin, the affection in his eyes was about to turn into a river of spring water.
So, in the next few days, after enjoying the treatment of qin music three times a day for half an hour each time, Chu Jingling's seasickness was greatly alleviated, his face returned to normal, and he did not vomit again.
At the same time, in the process of Zhou Ming's playing the piano, the unique sound of the piano with strong penetrating power was inevitably heard by other passengers on the ship, and then fell into it, no one said not to make noise anymore, but every day at those few points, the whole ship suddenly became extremely quiet, even the sound of mice grinding their teeth, disappeared, only the sound of rolling waves, the crisp and melodious sound of the piano.
On this day, after listening to the sound of the piano, eight or nine passengers in square scarves and costumes finally couldn't hold back the mood of visiting, and knocked on the hatch where the sound of the piano came out.
After opening the door, Zhou Ming had a conversation with them, only to know that these people are all talented young men in Hongzhou, and two of them are also the children of official eunuchs, such as Zhang Jing, the son of Changsha County Shouzhangdu, and Liu Anzhi, the son of Nanyang County Shou Liu Su.
"You are Tian Zihua, the world-famous Mr. Zihua?"
"Mr. Zihua has long admired his name! I have also had the pleasure of reading Mr.'s article, but I didn't expect that the skill of the piano is so wonderful, which is impressive!"
"Mr. Zihua, I heard that you are traveling the world, many people are looking for it, and they want to travel the world with you, but they can't find you, I never thought that Mr. Zihua, who is difficult to find in the legend, is in the same boat as me, hahaha! This is the great luck of my life!"
"Mr. Zihua, I have more than 20 copies of "Zihua Anthology" in my hands, and hundreds of your articles and poems are all memorized by me...... For Mr., I admire you very much, and let me join you in the next and travel the world together?"
Liu Anzhi, the son of Nanyang County Shou, said with admiration and fanaticism in his eyes.
As soon as these words came out, many young talents next to them also said: "Mr. Zihua, I have long wanted to travel in this day, take me on a tour with you!", "Mr. Zihua, let me be your sand monk and help you carry your backpack?", "Mr. Zihua, I have seen your "Ascending Mount Tai Fu", all kinds of depictions, which are fascinating...... I have nothing else to ask for, but I would like to climb the same mountain with Mr. Zihua and make a gift for each?"
This man's words drew a lot of approval.
"Even if it is endowment, why climb the steep mountain, where can the beautiful scenery not be endowment?"
Standing at the bow of the deck, past everyone's eyes, Zhou Ming pointed to the surface of Yunmeng Lake, which was full of mist and visibility less than a kilometer not far away, and said: "Why don't we take this vast and milky way fairyland-like Yunmeng Lake scenery as the theme, each one makes a gift, each expresses his heart, and shows his own name?"
This proposal, everyone's eyes lit up, and their eyes swept away, the vast scenery of Yunmeng Lake at this time, as Mr. Zihua said, like a galactic fairyland, one by one talent springs up, and suddenly in the mind, conceived a prototype of an article.
"Bring a pen and paper! I want to make a gift with Mr. Zihua!
Liu Anzhi shouted, and the entourage hurriedly ran into the cabin, brought a large number of pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and moved a few desks.
So, on the deck, in the midst of hundreds of passengers, everyone buried their heads in talent competition.
Zhou Ming's "Yanbo Fu" was completed at the earliest, and the text was completed overnight without adding points, but he did not rush to say that he had finished writing and interrupting other people's train of thought, but waited quietly for more than half an hour, and when everyone finished writing one after another, it was made public and circulated to each other for appreciation.
"Mr. Zihua's "Yanbo Fu", the writing is brilliant, like a fantasy, Ambilight, I, it's really not as good!"
"Compared with "Yanbo Fu", my "Cloud Dream Fu" is like a beautiful jade compared to mud and stone, like the fluorescent light of rotten grass, compared to the vast moon of Tianxin, it is smiling and generous, it is better to tear it!"
Liu Anzhi, who was shocked by "Yanbo Fu" and couldn't help himself, actually did something that surprised everyone, he actually took nearly an hour to create his "Yunmengfu", which was not bad in style, tore it to pieces on the spot and threw it into the surging lake.
"Brother An, it's just an article, why is it like this?"
"Brother An, Mr. Zihua is famous all over the world, and he is known as 'Talent and Eight Buckets', it is normal for me to lose, it should not be like this!"
"Brother An, you are bold and cheerful, how can you ...... today?"
The crowd was very puzzled and persuaded him one after another.
"Needless to say!"
Liu Anzhi waved his hand and drank, everyone was silent, he suddenly bowed to Zhou Mingchang, and said with burning eyes: "There is Mr. Zihua's "Yanbo Fu" here! I wait for the literary fu, no matter how good it is, what is the use? If it is the dregs before the delicious delicacies, who will enjoy it? Mr. Zihua, to be able to travel with you in Mengze is a fortunate thing that will be difficult to encounter in the next life, and I want to make another endowment, called 'Traveling with Zihua in Mengze', this is the endowment of narrative, I don't know Mr. Zihua, can I agree to narrate this matter in the next and express my respect?"
"Yes!"
Zhou Ming nodded and waved his hand.
After obtaining consent, Liu Anzhi, who was full of thoughts and emotion, wrote a more than 1,000-word "Dream of Zeze with Zihua" in just a few moments.
This travelogue, because of its wonderful narrative, sincere feelings, and continuous famous sentences, attracted a round of applause, and some people asserted on the spot: This travelogue will be like "Yanbo Fu", and will be passed down through the ages.
Seeing that the atmosphere was so warm, Zhou Ming, who was very excited, also asked people to take the "Jiaowei Qin", sat on the bow of the boat, and played one after another intoxicating piano songs, and when the sound of the piano stopped suddenly, everyone was extremely reluctant, and when they woke up from the dream, they were shocked to find that the big ship was surrounded by countless fish, and these fish, densely packed, followed up with the boat, and slammed into the hull...... As a result, through the mouths of hundreds of passengers: "Zihua plays the piano, Yunmeng fish is frightened", the legend began to spread widely around Yunmeng Lake, and it has endured for thousands of years......
