CHAPTER XVII
High canal
Chen Xiu was locked in a dark room for half a month, and then let him go back to his residence, but he was given dozens of books and not allowed to leave the room until he finished reading. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Chen Xiu didn't expect King Chen to release him from the small dark room, but he threw him into the pile of books. Every day, several teachers take turns to come to the book, and when Chen Wang comes, he is pretending, and as soon as Chen Wang leaves, he is lazy and lazy, and the teacher does not dare to force him.
The chess teacher was a fifty-year-old man who looked like he was seventy years old. Chen Xiu couldn't listen to it, his arm propped up his head, his eyes narrowed, and he watched the old man's mouth touch the skin of his mouth.
At this time, Qiheng was coming in.
Chen Xiu hurriedly jumped up and said, "It's dark!" The old gentleman should hurry home and eat! That's it for today! ”
Chen Xiu pulled Qiheng into the house and invited the rest of the people out before saying, "What's wrong?" Has Sun Heqi seen his uncle? ”
Qiheng said, "No. Uncle shouldn't know. ”
"I didn't expect that my dignified son Chen Guogong would be so poor that he could pay his bills. Fortunately, he didn't dare to come in and ask for money. Chen Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. That's right! Did you bring something? ”
"Well, what else am I going to do here?" Qiheng Road.
Chen Xiu took a few pieces of paper, pushed the chessboard to the side, and said proudly, "I'll show you something good." As he spoke, he patted the bed, motioned for Qiheng to sit down, spread out the map by himself, and immediately changed his expression when he saw it.
"I mean to have a complete map of the Yanhui Mountain Range, why do you give me a small map of which Yanhui Pass!" Chen Xiu threw the paper aside.
"Hey! That's all I had to look for. Qi Heng Qi said, "What is the map easy to find?!" ”
"You're still angry." Chen Xiu licked his face and smiled, turned his head to look out, saw that there was no one in the courtyard, and whispered, "Was there anyone in the east corner when you came over?" ”
Qi Heng didn't know what Chen Xiu was going to do, so he shook his head.
"It's good if you don't have it. Follow me! Chen Xiu pulled out a yellowed book, jumped out of bed and walked to the back room. When he arrived at the back room, Chen Xiu pushed the shelf to the side and pulled out the bricks on the wall behind the shelf one by one. After a while, there was a hole in the wall. It's not big, just enough for Chen Xiu to climb out.
Qi Heng was stunned, "You dug a hole here?!" ”
Chen Xiu smiled, "Be prepared, let's go!" ”
Qiheng didn't move, "You let me climb the cave?" ”
"What's wrong with climbing the hole?" Chen Xiu urged him.
Qi Heng squatted down, looked at it, frowned and didn't want to go over. Chen Xiu was anxious when he saw his cowardly appearance, stood up and dragged him over, "What is this!" I've crawled all the dog holes! ”
Out of the hole, and then look at the east corner of the small courtyard. A piece of bamboo was planted in the corner, just in the way. Qi Heng patted his clothes, "Where are you going?" ”
"Side hall. There is a complete map in the side hall. Chen Xiu saw that there was no one on either side, grabbed Qiheng and left.
Anyway, it's your business to get caught! Qiheng said, "Then you can tell me how the kid is!" ”
Yesterday, Chen Xiu told Qiheng a story. It is said that Taishang Lake has a tradition of sacrificing to the dragon god, and one year the child escaped by sacrificing one. The child was suddenly caught up when he was almost trying to escape, but he was lucky to meet a ranger. The Ranger discovers that he has a bead on him, says that he was once saved by a man with the same bead, and vows to repay him. The Ranger kills the kid and helps him escape to the high canal.
"Be quiet!" Chen Xiu looked at both sides like a thief.
Qi Heng saw him talking about him left and right, and said, "You said that I will help you watch Sun Heqi, how can you play a fool after you finish telling the story?" ”
That story was originally made up casually, but Qiheng really believed it. Chen Xiu held back his heart and said as he walked forward, "The ranger took the child to Gaoqu, looked at the child's beads and suddenly said, 'I finally repaid the favor.'" Chen Xiu deliberately lowered his voice, and then suddenly stopped.
Qiheng said urgently, "And then?" ”
Then the ranger took the child's beads and sold the child. Chen Xiu laughed and jumped away.
"You're fooling me!" Qiheng ran over and grabbed Chen Xiu.
"Shhhh Be quiet! Chen Xiu gently pushed open the door of the side hall, turned around and raised his eyes, and saw that Chen Ming and Wu Ang were there.
"Big brother, why are you here with General Wu? There's not even a guard outside the door! Chen Xiu said.
"Naturally, we have something to talk about. It's you. You're here at this point?! Aren't you still grounded? ”
When Chen Xiu heard him ask, he became even more excited, "Big brother! It's even better if you're there. As he spoke, he looked left and right, "Huh? Second brother is not here? It's even better if he's there. ”
"He doesn't have the time to pay attention to us right now." Chen Ming smiled. "What's wrong? Makes you so excited! ”
"I found a great good thing. Look at this book first! Chen Xiu threw the yellowed book to Chen Ming, pulled Qiheng in, hooked his head left and right to see if there was anyone, and then closed the door.
"Where did you get this book?" Chen Ming put the book aside and shook it, patting the dust that fell on his sleeve.
"Mountains and rivers?" Qi Heng looked at the title of the book and laughed, "Can you read this book?" ”
Chen Xiu walked to the side of the case, took a pen, and said with a smile, "You underestimate me!" Not only can I see it, but I also make a big discovery! Eldest brother! You turn to the 'Northern Four Classics'. Read it. ”
Chen Ming looked at Wu Bengong and smiled helplessly, flipped through the book, and read, "The first of the four scriptures in the north is called the mountain of the Changhuang Emperor, and there is a lot of gold and jade on it. There are beast names, and the head of the deer and the tail of the tiger can speak. The rest of the water flows. Chen Ming looked up at Chen Xiu.
Chen Xiu drew a small circle on the paper, and when he saw Chen Ming looking at him, he smiled meaningfully, "Don't stop!" ”
Chen Ming sneered, "Three hundred taels of water in the northeast, it is called Fengyao Mountain, on which there is a wooden flute sound, and the wind is self-singing." Look at Chen Xiu drawing a small circle on the upper right.
Chen Ming continued to read, "Traveling a hundred miles south, it is said that the mountain of strange hunting, there are beasts and dragons, four-legged and winged. It is also one hundred and forty miles to the east, and it is called Bian Yizhi Mountain. The northeast water travels for two hundred miles, and it is said that there is no beginning of the mountain, and there are many flowers and few trees on it, and there are few ....... ”
"Isn't this just a folk ancient book? It's not easy to read, and it's not interesting. Qiheng doubted. Looking at it, Chen Xiu had already marked the approximate location of these mountains on the paper.
"It's too slow!" Chen Heng got up, took the book and spread it on the desk, took a pen and continued to draw on the paper, "Another three hundred miles northeast." and five hundred miles northeast. and four hundred and seventy miles to the southeast, and a hundred miles to the east. and went on sixty miles to the east. Twenty miles, one hundred and twenty miles, one hundred miles, three hundred miles, six hundred miles, forty miles. Chen Xiu read while drawing circles on the paper, and after drawing it, the city was connected with a straight line.
"Where are you going to see this?" Chen Xiu said with a smile.
Chen Ming looked down and just smiled. Chen Xiu couldn't wait any longer, so he took down the paper excitedly and compared it to the big map, "Do you think this is the same as the trend of the wild goose?" 'The mountain of no beginning, on which there are many flowers and trees, few grasses are poisonous, insects and ants dare not approach, and the water goes around. Isn't this the Ten Thousand Poison Mountain! From this point of view, is the distance of the mountains behind you exactly the same as that of the Yanhui Mountains? ”
Qi Heng leaned over to take a closer look, and it was almost the same, "It's not right, there are four mountains in front of Changhuang, Feng Yao, Qi Hunting, and Bian Yi?" ”
"Hah! I'm worried that you won't ask! Chen Xiu smiled, "Look! This is the Mountain of Ten Thousand Poisons! Then the location of these four mountains is not Taishang Lake! ”
"So what?"
"So Changhuang Mountain is at the bottom of Taishang Lake! The first of a hundred mountains in the world! Mountains are golden, and stones are jade. If this is dug up, don't you have to worry about the treasury, big brother?! So, give me some soldiers, and I'll leave the matter to me!" Chen Xiu patted his chest and said.
Chen Ming looked at Wu Bengong and couldn't cry or laugh, "You came here for this?" ”
"This is no small matter!" Chen Xiu said.
Wu Bengong also said with a smile, "It is rumored that the earth in Taishang Lake has been shaking for a period of time, which has made the people of the world miserable. Suddenly, one day the sky was red, the dragon fell from the sky to the ground, the sky collapsed for a while, the Changhuang and other four mountains collapsed, and the water and residual water poured in, and it became the current Taishang Lake. Since then, Taishang Lake has been stable. If you want to know these things, you don't have to go through so much trouble, there are more details in the Shenlong Temple in Taishang Lake. ”
"You're saying someone found out?" Chen Xiu cried with a sad face, "Why doesn't anyone go to Taishang Lake to dig for gold?" ”
"It's just a legend, it doesn't count. Besides, if there is gold, it will be long gone! Qi Heng said with a smile.
Chen Ming couldn't help but laugh when he looked at it.
