Chapter 163: You Jinling
stayed at Yang Hao's house for one night, and the next morning, Xuanwei and his party had breakfast, and finally refused Yang Hao's repeated retention.
Passing through the old town, the crowd did not have any specific goal, but only followed roughly the north.
Along the way, Xuanwei and others visited many scenic spots in Jinling along the way.
For example, the folk legend is modeled on the black dragon of Xuanwu Lake to build the Zifeng Building, the exterior wall glass of this building is convex layers, at first glance it looks like dragon scales, and the whole is like a dragon body, which is strong and powerful.
In the early morning sunlight, the top of the building is like a dragon's head, reaching into the sky, and it does look like a giant dragon rising into the sky from a distance.
It is rumored that after Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, a monk once told him that Jinling had the air of an emperor, so Qin Shi Huang ordered Fang Shi to cut off the dragon vein of Jinling, and therefore, the dynasty that built the capital of Jinling in successive dynasties did not last long.
And this Zifeng Mansion happens to be built in the shape of a dragon on top of the dragon vein, which is in line with the feng shui pattern.
Even if Xuan Wei is not very proficient in easy learning, he can see how exquisite and ingenious this layout is, and it is very likely that it is the handwriting of the predecessors in the cultivation world back then.
And when it comes to the dragon vein, we have to mention a place in Jinling, that is, Bauhinia Mountain.
It is said that the warlock who advised Qin Shi Huang used two methods to eliminate the imperial spirit of Jinling.
The first is to dig up the Bauhinia Mountain, and the second is to build the Qinhuai River.
The former method is because the Bauhinia Mountain is full of dragons and tigers, and if you want to cut the dragon veins and kill the tigers, you must dig up the Bauhinia Mountain and bury gold and jade jewelry for suppression.
The construction of the Qinhuai River is aimed at excreting the imperial gas of Jinling.
Many Jinling locals have heard the older generation mention that the Bauhinia Mountain is a place with a very strong yin atmosphere, especially the Zhongshan Mausoleum. Not to mention that it is at night, even in the blue sky and daylight, walking in the middle of it feels gloomy.
Such a famous place, Xuanwei and others naturally did not miss it, as a major attraction in Jinling today, the flow of people in Bauhinia Mountain during the day is still considerable.
After walking around, everyone found that the yin qi in this place was indeed stronger than in other places, but it was definitely not exaggerated to the extent of folklore.
Only Xuan Wei and Pu Ji vaguely noticed that there was also a mysterious feng shui array in this area, which suppressed the leakage of yin qi.
If there is no such feng shui array, perhaps the content of the urban legend is not an exaggeration!
Compared with the Zifeng Building, the feng shui array arranged around the Bauhinia Mountain is undoubtedly more profound and mysterious, and the project is also much larger.
Even Xuan Wei walked down in such a circle, but he didn't even have the basic outline of the big array in his mind, and he couldn't figure it out at all.
After experiencing it personally, Xuan Wei had to admit that the great cause of the cultivation world that had devoted manpower and material resources was far more far-reaching than imagined!
Leaving Bauhinia Mountain, the group saw the French plane tree many times on the way, and the name of the plane tree in Jinling is worthy of the name.
The plane trees in Jinling can be traced back to the middle of the last century, and Mr. Zhongshan's wife, Ms. Song, liked the French plane trees, so Lao Jiang planted the plane trees all over the city in Jinling.
A few years ago, in order to build infrastructure, Jinling cut down and transplanted these sycamores, which seems to have attracted attention on the other side of the strait. In the end, the above complied with the public opinion and promised that the project would allow the tree and not cut down the tree.
Aside from political factors, Xuanwei personally believes that these sycamores are also ancient and famous trees, and even if the infrastructure construction is important, it should follow the concept of "the unity of nature and man", rather than pushing man to the opposite side of nature.
If nothing else, from a tourist's point of view, isn't the city full of sycamores more pleasing to the eye than the cold reinforced concrete buildings?
After a morning tour of Jinling on two legs, the eyes of the group were satisfied, but their physical strength was somewhat excessive.
A few of the higher ones are better, like Ming Ye, who has not been in the field for a long time, and because of the young body and slightly weak bones, the two legs have already been filled with lead at this moment.
In order to take care of the disadvantaged, the group decided to take the subway at the nearest Zhujiang Road station until they got off outside the central gate in the north of Jinling City.
As soon as the group approached Zhujiang Road Station, they were greeted by a variety of childlike wallpapers and small decorations.
"Is this going on?" said Tomorrow Night.
After all, you are still a child, and when you see all kinds of colorful cute patterns and accessories, you will inevitably be attracted to your eyes.
"See those words on the wall?" Xuan Wei said, pointing to a wall.
The wide wall is also printed with cute patterns for children, and in the center of the wall is the bold word "Candy Station".
"Candy Station, oh, there's candy patterns everywhere!" muttered Mingye.
It seems that tomorrow night has the illusion of being in a fairy tale kingdom.
"Master, what's going on with this station? It's not a park or a playground, why do you have such a name, and deliberately decorate it in a child-oriented style?"
"The name 'Candy Station' at Zhujiang Road Station comes from a true story: a couple from other places took their sick child to Jinling Children's Hospital for treatment and then took the subway back. When they arrived at Zhujiang Road Station, the sick child cried and said that he wanted to eat candy, and the shy parents were very embarrassed. At that time, a station employee saw this scene, took out the candy prepared for his son from his pocket, delivered it to the sick child, and told the child to listen to his parents and strive for a speedy recovery. Xuanwei seemed to know something about this station, and immediately said slowly.
Although it is a small and ordinary thing, it is narrated from Xuanwei's mouth, but it gives people a sweet and warm feeling like eating candy.
Since then, all the employees at the station have brought candy to work and distributed it to the children passing by the station. The children who got the candy were very happy and affectionately called Zhujiang Road Station 'Candy Station'. Finally, the subway company decided to officially declare Zhujiang Road Station as a "candy station" and unveiled it. Xuan Wei continued.
After listening to this allusion tomorrow night, he suddenly sighed and said: "I didn't expect there to be such a warm story behind this station, the candy station, it's so good!"
I saw a sweet smile on my immature little face like I was immersed in a fairy tale, and I didn't know whether he was lamenting the story told by Xuanwei or the beauty of humanity behind this station.
"I heard that the station staff on duty at the station will distribute a certain amount of candy to the children in the paid area of the station from time to time, tomorrow night, maybe you can also get candy!" Xuan Wei looked at Ming Ye and chuckled.
It seems that God is also taking care of tomorrow night, and as soon as the group bought tickets and waited on the platform, there were station staff holding candy and distributing it to nearby children.
Maybe because Tomorrow Night looks very cute, the station staff who is overflowing with love is very generous and stuffs Tomorrow Night full of candy.
Candy is naturally not the expensive imported candy in the supermarket, but the kind of ordinary candy that is so cheap that even many children disdain it nowadays.
However, Ming Ye took out a handkerchief very solemnly and wrapped the candy, and then carefully handed it to Xuan Wei and said: "Master, I'm afraid that the candy will melt away when I put it on my body, can you help me keep it for a while?
Xuan smiled, took the candy wrapped in a handkerchief tomorrow night, and put it in his sleeve.
