Chapter 727: Finding the Phoenix

"In ancient times, there were indeed three hills in Yangcheng, Naifan Mountain, Yu Mountain and Po Mountain.

Fanshan, which existed in the Qin and Han dynasties, is probably in the area north of the former site of the Zhongshan Library. During the Southern Han Dynasty, the city was expanded, and the mountain was chiseled flat.

Po Mountain, which existed in the Jin Dynasty, was probably in the area of Tianshui Lane, and was also chiseled flat in the Southern Han Dynasty, and some natural rocks still remained.

Yushan, also the Qin and Han dynasties, between Xihu Road and Yuexiu Academy Street, there is still Yushan Road named after the local area, which was chiseled flat at the end of the Tang Dynasty. ”

In the classroom, Niu Zewen casually set up a chair and casually told these histories. Opposite him was a young man in his twenties, fair-skinned and handsome, but with a sickly and effeminate aura.

This person called himself Wu Zhe, a junior of a colleague of Niu Zewen, and knew that he was familiar with geography, so he came over to ask some questions.

He listened to the other party's story, and bowed his head again and again: "No wonder Yangcheng has been called Panyu since ancient times, it turned out to be this statement...... By the way, Professor Niu, I heard that there is a place called Nanyu Mountain in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", but is there such a place?"

"Nanyu Mountain?"

Niu Zewen paused and said: "The author and the date of writing of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" are not detailed, and after thousands of years of evolution, the hydrological mountain systems recorded in it are very different from modern times. For example, this Nanyu Mountain, there are many sayings.

Nanyu Mountain comes from the "Southern Three Classics", belongs to the third column of mountain systems in the south, the head is Tianyu Mountain, and the end is Nanyu. There are fourteen mountains, which pass through 6,530 miles.

Some say that it should be seen from the north to the south, but Tianyu Mountain, Prayer Mountain, Danxue Mountain, Fashuang Mountain, etc. are not examined, only Jishan has some clues, which may be in Yuhuan City, Zhejiang Province. Taking this as a fixed point, we went to Nanyu Mountain, and we arrived in the Yangcheng area, but there is no way to know which location it is.

Some people also say that it should be seen from the south to the north, Tianyu Mountain is actually in the territory of Yueguo, passing through Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian provinces, and finally reaching Zhejiang Province. Nanyu Mountain is the Tiantai Mountain in Zhejiang Province...... All this is still inconclusive. ”

"Then from your point of view, where do you think Nanyu Mountain is?" Wu Zhe frowned.

"Personally, I think it's still in Guangdong Province or Qiongzhou, after all, it is clearly recorded in the book that Nanyu Mountain is near the sea. Niu Zewen said.

Although he was vague, Wu Zhe's face flashed with a hint of determination and joy, and after a few casual chats, he got up to say goodbye.

After he left, Niu Zewen didn't care, but the more he thought about it, the more weird it became. In and out of his words, this person always grasped the two place names of Yushan and Nanyushan, as if he was confirming something.

Professor Niu is older, and his memory may not be very reliable, so he simply found the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", turned to the page of "The Three Classics of the Southern Times", and clearly recorded:

"Five hundred and eighty miles to the east, it is said that the mountain of Nanyu has many gold and jade on it, and there is much water under it. There are holes, water comes in and out, summer is out, and winter is closed. Zuo water out of the Yan, and the southeast flow into the sea, there are phoenixes, chicks.

The first of the three classics of the southern times, from the mountain of Tianyu to the mountain of Nanyu, there are fourteen mountains, six thousand five hundred and thirty miles. Its gods are all dragons and human faces. Its shrine is a white dog praying, and the rice is used. ”

Niu Zewen frowned, found another copy of "Zhuangzi", flipped to the "Autumn Water" chapter, and wrote:

"There are birds in the south, and their names are chicks, not more than sycamores, not only food, but not drinking. ”

…………

On the outskirts of Yangcheng, private residence.

The wind is clear and the moon is bright, the lights are shining, the huge courtyard is crowded, noisy and noisy, and faintly centered on one person, it seems to be celebrating his birthday.

Due to historical reasons in Guangdong Province, the folk law school has always been prosperous, and there are more than 20 schools such as Qinggang, Red Lotus, Huaguang, Liuren, Jinhua, and Dasheng just registered.

Each has its own characteristics, in fact, the essence is similar, they are all martial arts that invite the gods to make talismans, dispel evil spirits and eliminate disasters, and curse and fight secretly.

Among them, Red Lotus, Liuren, and Huaguang are the strongest. And today is the 80th birthday of Lin Huaili, the head of the Red Lotus Method.

The old man has been cultivating since he was a child, and he is diligent and diligent, and finally waits for the day when he will show his strengths. Under his leadership, the Red Lotus faction has indeed developed rapidly and has become a well-known and well-known faction in Lingnan.

However, he is getting older, and he gradually has the heart to abdicate, and most of the affairs of the faction are currently handled by his children and grandchildren.

In the middle of the moon, the night breeze is pleasant, and the outside is still noisy, but the living room inside is quiet and secret. That Wu Zhe is also among them, but his real body is called Lin Zhe, the eldest grandson of Lin Huaili.

"Ah Zhe, you are too reckless this time, even if you use a pseudonym, it will inevitably leak the news. A middle-aged man from his uncle's generation spoke.

"It's okay, we can't hide it anyway, if we leak, we will leak. The important thing is that we have first-hand information that the phoenix's nest may indeed be near Guangdong Province. ”

"Brother, did you really see it? Will you be dazzled?" a clan brother couldn't help but ask.

"! So beautiful, can I misread such a big mythical bird?"

Lin Zhe was full of pride when he mentioned this, and said: "At that time, I saw it clearly, the divine bird flew from the top of the mountain, like a colorful glow. And not only me, but at least ten people up and down the mountain witnessed it with their own eyes. ”

"But are you sure it's a phoenix...... Ouch!"

The clan brother continued to raise the bar, but he was beaten for a while, and the uncle said: "A dragon is put in front of you, do you recognize it? Sun Wukong put it in front of you, do you recognize it? Xia people don't know the phoenix, why do you call Xia people especially Xia people?"

That's true, something is in the blood. Just like eating tofu brains to eat salty, eating zongzi to eat sweet, eating abalone to lick, it's all so natural.

Of course, there were also worries, and another uncle asked: "The dragon in the East China Sea was born into a human fairyland, and the phoenix is as famous as the dragon, so it's not bad to think about it." How did you feel when you were close?"

"Indeed, it is indeed fierce and invincible......"

Lin Zhe remembered the coercion of that day, and still broke out in a cold sweat, and said: "But we are looking for it, not arresting, and we can't catch it at all." Whoever discovers this kind of thing first will benefit, and we can't help the phoenix, but maybe there are any treasures in the corners? Besides, once we find the phoenix first, the Red Lotus Law will not only have the reputation of Lingnan!"

Whether it is from the point of view, or the fame, or the simple sense of excitement, no one can refuse. After a brief discussion, a few people decided to send people to roughly demarcate an area and find the divine bird first.

At the same time, several people who witnessed it that day also spread the news through various means. Although it has not been exposed on the online platform, in private, the news quickly spread among the sect palaces.

As a result, the Xia Kingdom cultivation world, which had been silent for a long time, became active in an instant, just like the snake Jiao Jiao turned into a dragon many years ago. In the end, even a small number of demon clans knew, and they were very complicated.

People have to die more than people, and demons have to be thrown more than demons!

Actually, it's not right to say that, the monkey is a demon, the fox is a demon, and the panda is a demon, but who have you ever seen treat dragons and phoenixes as monsters?

It's called Xiangrui!

(Ah, I'll start saving up tomorrow...... )
