Chapter 11: Tomb Pearls 3

It took a long time for Bell and his parents to explain to Wang Ergou that he was not actually dead, and although this place was underground, it was not an underground. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After drinking the white fish soup (made by Nemo, every named character in this story is useful, a tribute to Nemo's dedication), Wang Ergou walked out of the cave with the bell on his shoulder, and then he saw a shocking scene.

He first saw a beam of light, which came in from a round hole in the "zenith" and shone on the ground thirty zhang below, forming a huge circle of light with a diameter of more than ten zhang underground. In the center of the aperture, there is a circular stone platform, on which is a round blue bead as large as a bucket.

"That's the Pearl of the Night." The bell introduced to Wang Ergou, who looked confused, "Daddy said that the night pearl existed before we came here, it absorbs the light from the sky during the day, and then sends out the light at night to illuminate us here." By the way, the turtle boat that went to save you was lit by it! ”

Within the great aperture of light on the ground was a small square, where twenty or thirty women were already working on the rocks, some sewing linen clothes with needles, others drying dried fish, and some strong men coming out of the cave carrying a huge elk......

The ground was a round rock fifty feet in diameter, and the surrounding rock walls were like iron pots upside down, until the round hole in the zenith met. Hundreds of caves have been dug around the rock wall, some of which have been converted into habitable houses by villagers, and some of them even raise chickens, ducks and other poultry.

"What are your fetishes, why do you live underground?"

The bell said, "This ...... I don't know, it seems like there's a big bad guy on the ground......"

"Hahaha, young man, you're awake!" An old laugh interrupted the bell's words, and Wang Ergou turned around to see a silver-haired old man surrounded by six or seven people coming behind them.

The bell ran over and hugged the silver-haired old man's waist, raised his head and asked, "Patriarch Grandpa, his name is Wang Ergou, is he the dog you talked about before?" ”

Wang Ergou said in his heart, is this little girl scolding me around the corner?

The old man touched the bell's head and said with a smile: "The dog is an animal, just like the sheep raised in our beast cave, and it is also that size, but the dog likes to bark, and it is this kind of sound, we are afraid of attracting the attention of the bad guys, so we don't have dogs here." He pointed to Wang Ergou and said, "This young man, just has a dog character in his name, but just like us, he is a human." ”

Wang Ergou bowed his hand to the old patriarch and everyone: "Thank you for saving your life." ”

It's really not easy for him to say thank you, but this time it's sincere, Wang Ergou realized that it's better for him to be alive. In addition, in the depths of this indisputable paradise, there is no outside intrigue and sinister rivers and lakes, although Wang Ergou does not know these people, he feels the steadfastness and safety that he has never had.

The silver-haired old man laughed: "In the next week Qifang, there are more than 100 people living in the cave, all of whom were fishermen from several villages along the canal in Gaoyou County. ”

Although Wang Ergou has never been to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he only heard in Changqing Tower that the Huashi Gang of the government in the past few years has ruined Jiangsu and Zhejiang. A few years before the official family (the Song Dynasty's name for the emperor) Zhao Ji ascended the throne, although he worked hard night and night, the probability of having a son was extremely low. A Taoist priest went to the palace to take a look and said that there was a problem with feng shui.

What about the solution? If you don't have a solution, don't talk about the service fee.

The Taoist priest said: As long as the Gen position in the northeast of the palace is raised and slightly shaped, the problem will be solved.

Zhao Ji had the attitude of trying it out, and planned a royal garden in the northeast of the palace, which was originally named Banzai Mountain, and later renamed "Genyue". Who knew that not long after Gen Yue started construction, there were good news in the harem, and the princes fell to the ground one by one like gourd babies.

(Xiao Yao's brother's note: Song Huizong Zhao Ji is a well-known faint monarch, although the emperor did not do well, but in art he left a "good name" of calligraphy and painting.) But in addition to calligraphy and painting, Zhao Ji's fertility can be regarded as the crown of all Chinese emperors. According to the "History of the Song Dynasty", before the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, "the thirty-one sons of Huizong" ("The Biography of the Clan") and the "thirty-four daughters" ("The Legend of the Princess"), a total of 65 babies. But to see whether a person is a cow to break, do not look at when he is proud, but look at when he is frustrated, according to the "Jingkang Barnyard Historical Notes: Song Prisoners", Song Huizong "After entering the country, he gave birth to six sons and eight daughters", that is to say, although he was captured by the Jin people and went to the Northeast to open up the wasteland, Zhao Ji gave birth to fourteen more children. With the addition of the previous ones, there are 79 children recorded in history!

Xiao Shigong said: It's good to be an emperor.

The Taoist monk's feng shui doctrine worked, and the officials were overjoyed, so they intensified their efforts to collect rare and exotic beasts from all over the world and fill Genyue. Whether it is Dongting, Hukou, or Gusu, Jingchu, strange flowers and plants, strange stones and trees, rare birds and beasts come from all directions, gather Genyue, and later generations call it "the beauty of the world, the victory of ancient and modern Tibet", which is equivalent to the three-in-one version of the World Horticultural Exposition + Disneyland + Beijing Zoo in the Song Dynasty. )

"Huashi Gang" is just one of the huge conscriptions that built Genyue, but this one alone has stirred up the resentment of the people in the southeast, and every family has ten rooms and nine emptiness, even the luxury of the family has gone bankrupt.

These are all Wang Ergou heard from the mouth of the drinker in Changqing Building, although he has not really seen what the concept of "ten rooms and nine emptiness" on the ground is, but when he saw Zhou Qifang and his clansmen hiding underground in order to avoid forced labor, he knew that "harsh government is fiercer than tiger" is not a lie.

Zhou Qifang said: "It's only because Zhu Mian is cruel, like a little emperor in the southeast, who instructed the lackeys to act recklessly, and forced us into the underground - the young adults who were arrested at the beginning were all buried in the belly of the fish." ”

When the old patriarch said this, the old people behind him all had tears in their eyes, and they seemed to remember the scene when their family was ruined.

"That's it......" Zhou Qifang waved his hand, "I'll tell you what to do." By the way, what about Mr. Qiu? ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a black shadow rising up behind several old men, picking up a black iron rod in his hand and attacking Wang Ergou.

"Lao Qiu is here!"

Wang Ergou didn't know what customs the people here had, why he didn't say a word, so he started to put on the stick, and before he could reply, seeing that the stick wind had arrived, he hurriedly took a step back and drew his knife to block.

Lao Qiu saw the broken knife in Wang Ergou's hand, his eyes were full of essence, his whole body trembled, and he attacked Wang Ergou in one go with the thirty-six styles in the "Shaolin Arhat Stick Method".
