You Fang didn't realize that he was crying, this was a kind of heartfelt forgetfulness and emotion, only felt that the drawing in front of him had become blurred, and it seemed to have turned into the real landscape that Wu Lao had walked through. For some reason, he always has a sense of illusion today.

Wu Yuchong straightened up and looked at him with some surprise, and stopped talking: "It's been so long, even if you're sad......"

You Fang realized his reaction, closed the notebook and replied, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper." ”

Wu Yuchong looked at him with a little curiosity in his eyes, and even had imperceptible pity: (Brother You Fang, what is the relationship between you and my grandfather?) ”

You Fang: "I listened to his teachings in Yanyuan for half a year, but unfortunately it didn't take longer, Yu, Chong, do you know your grandfather?" ”

Yu Chong shook his head: "I've only met a few times, and it's not been a long time, and I'm sorry to hear about him." But your reaction surprised me, and you need to look at all this calmly and understand why it happened. …… I was very sad when my father passed away in Europe, and I am very sorry to look back on it today, but I will not shed tears like you. ”

Is this trying to persuade him? Well, he should be being persuaded to do so! You Fang didn't want to cry by himself, there are really not many things in this world that can make him cry, and crying is just unconsciously. Hearing Wu Yuchong's words and seeing her eyes, he inexplicably had a feeling that this girl looked hot on the outside, but she was cold by nature! She was too so, or thought she was too so.

She didn't have much contact with Wu Lao, and her feelings were understandably indifferent, but You Fang's reaction was from the heart, she shouldn't have looked at him with this kind of eyes and persuaded him with this tone Xie Xiaoding and the others didn't know Wu Pingdong at all, but they understood You Fang very well, and they just sighed and didn't say anything on the side.

She may not be entirely to blame for this, but the environment in which she grew up is probably like this. You Fang heard that her father and mother had lived together for several years, and that her father had left after she was born.

At a young age, her mother sent her to boarding school, and she traveled around the world on her own adventures, and was very interested in tribal culture and ancient mysteries.

Mother usually only sends checks, rarely by Wu Yuchong's side, and later I don't know what conflicts with Xue Qinan, mother and grandmother have not spoken or met for seven years, and they have not even contacted each other during the New Year's holidays. Xue Qinan got the custody of his granddaughter through a lawyer, and since the age of fourteen, Wu Yuchong grew up next to his grandmother.

She's only nineteen years old, but she's already a second-year student at Yale, and she's really good in many ways.

In the family, Wu Yuchong has the best relationship with his grandmother, but to be honest, I am afraid that it is not as deep as You Fang's feelings for Wu Lao, and as for the others, the family affection is quite weak. The education and cultivation she received were completely different from Youfang's upbringing. Xue Qinan likes this granddaughter the most, but she didn't have the energy to take care of it too much in her early years, so she stayed by her side in recent years, and was sent to Yale to study in the past two years. She has made a will, and in the future, her estate will be inherited by this granddaughter.

Xue Qinan glanced at his granddaughter, seemed to sigh slightly, his eyes were a little helpless, and he took the tissue and handed it to You Fang.

Eating near the Liberation Monument that night was, of course, a local flavor. You Fangben was a little worried that Wu Yuchong couldn't stand the taste of Chongqing, but unexpectedly, this girl could eat spicy food more than the native Sichuanese, and there was dense fine sweat on her forehead, cheeks, and arms, and her milky white skin showed a faint flush, which was very good-looking.

At the dinner table, they talked about the itinerary of the next stop, Xue Qinan wants to go back to Yibin, and first go to Lizhuang Ancient Town to remember the teacher, she and Wu Pingdong are both students of Liang Sicheng.

I heard that Yibin has beautiful scenery, and it was rated as "China's Best Cultural and Ecological Tourism City" two years ago. The location of the bamboo forest fight in Ang Lee's movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is in Yibin's famous "Shunan Bamboo Sea". The local government also warmly invited Xue Qinan to visit, and even wanted to hire her as a tourism and cultural consultant, because a project integrating folk culture and tourism industry was being planned there, which was about Nezha.

Yibin is said to be the mythical "Nezha's hometown," the story of Nezha's troubles in the sea is almost a household name, is the local legend of the patron saint of the three rivers, where there are still a large number of stories about Nezha, songs, dramas and related customs, not only that, there are many monuments attached to the myth.

"The Romance of the Gods" in Chentangguan, it is said that it is near Nanguang Town, Yibin, and now on the nitrate wall by the Nanguang River, it is still vaguely recognizable that the three cliff inscriptions of "Chentangguan" are still visible, and there are the cornerstone remnants of the ancient temple below. There is a stone beam at the mouth of the Yangtze River in Nanguang River, which is about a mile long when it is exposed to the water, and it is called Longji Stone, which is said to be the third prince of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea killed by Nezha.

There are mountains on the north bank of the Yangtze River, like the Beidou called Qixing Mountain, there is a golden light cave in the mountain, it is said that Nezha's master Taiyi is the place where the real person cultivates. There is also a Guandou Mountain in Jiangbei, which is said to be a place for Taiyi real people to watch the stars. There is a red rock peak at the place of the Minjiang River, called the Eagle Mountain, there is a Yuanjue Cave in the mountain, it is said that it is the place where the people of the Lantern Dao cultivate

There is an ancient tower called Jiuzhou Tower in the dam under the mountain, in recent years it has been attached to the Eagle Boat Tower, the legend is that when Nezha chased and killed Li Jing, the Linglong Tower thrown out by the Lantern Daoist was burned and burned, and later the Linglong Tower was given to Li Jing. Therefore, Li Jing is also known as the King of Tota Li, and built this eagle boat tower here in the shape of Linglong Tower.

There is a Tianchi Park in the west of Yibin City, the pond water in the garden is sweet and cold since ancient times, rich in lotus roots, legend has it that this is the place where Taiyi Zhenren reshaped the lotus flower after returning to his parents after removing the flesh and bones. On Cuiping Mountain in the northwest suburbs of Yibin, there are also mythological relics such as Nezha Cave and Wangshen Slope.

In fact, in this land, the legends and place names about Nezha, as long as you pay attention, you can see traces almost everywhere.

If you are interested in the story of "Romance of the Gods", with the spirit of ancient mythology to find a common heart, there is indeed a lot to visit and linger in this place. But to tell the truth, it is to look at the flowers and have nothing in the heart, and the mind can not be integrated into this spiritual source, in fact, nothing can be seen or felt, and some modern artificial curtain repair attractions are not as good as the original scenery.

The saying of "Nezha's hometown" was only in the early nineties of the twentieth century, and it was first excavated by a Taoist named Huangsassa in Chiayi City, Taiwan, who organized a "root-seeking and ancestral tourism group", and then attracted attention and attention, and the local government organized a series of collation and research on folk culture.

Earlier, although Yibin had a lot of stories about Nezha, there was no "hometown" to say.

"Nezha", a foreign Buddhist figure who only appeared in the Tang Dynasty, has nothing to do with the history of the ancient city of Yibin.

But how did it take root here, form such a wide and rich folk tale, and have so many historical sites?

The late Mr. Wu Fengqi, an acrobatic artist and expert in folk culture research, had a special study, which was related to regional culture, folk culture, and the spiritual connotation of Nezha's character creation. He is actually a synthesis of the mythical heroes who have been circulating among many ethnic groups in the area of the Minjiang River and the Jinsha River in the Sichuan Basin since ancient times, and who have struggled with their living conditions. In the name of Nezha, it was entrusted with the ideal of religion, and after artistic refinement and processing, it became a vivid Taoist mythological figure.

This Nezha, in addition to the name, has long been detached from the original meaning imported from the Bishamen Buddhist scriptures, and has his spiritual origin. "The Romance of the Gods" is a book based on various myths and legends, and the story of Nezha is one of the most wonderful and classic paragraphs, which is inseparable from the strong humanistic heritage contained in the blueprint of folk mythology.

If you put Mr. Wu Fengqi's research in another way, Nezha in Yibin is like Qin Yu in Youfang. The spirituality of the ancient sword is cultivated by Youfang, and the heart image is seen as a woman Qin Yu; And Nezha is the mythical spirituality created by Yibin Jean, the historical and cultural accumulation of water.

After entering the new century, with the economic growth of the material rich, the spiritual culture is relatively poor, so the spiritual demand has also become a kind of industry that can be operated, the most typical project is the history and culture and the tourism industry as a whole, looking back is still to promote economic growth as the leading goal At this time, Fang hated the previous destruction too much, hated to search the heavens and the earth, to see what legacy the ancestors left back then, and now has not been squandered?

Each place is the eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers, the eight immortals are not enough, Nezha also came to make up.

The district government and the township government proposed that from the perspective of tourism culture, it should be in line with international standards, in line with the market, and combined with the exhibition of tourism and cultural industries, and use Nezha's witty, brave, and righteous soul to show the god of tourism resources, create a new image of Nezha with the spirit of Yibin, form a tourism brand, and build it as a boutique project.

This is the "Nezha Project," it is said that it will be built in accordance with the standards for applying for world cultural heritage, and in order to be able to successfully "apply for the World Heritage Site" in the future, Xue Qinan is an advisor to the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, and he usually can't be invited, but now he takes the initiative to come, and the local government and the project team certainly want to ask for her opinion, or want to get in touch with her.

There is another thing that the hometown relatives want to ask Xue Qinan for help, which is about the clan enshrinement, the cultivation of the spectrum, and the opening of the supporting tourism industry by the way, which also benefited from the construction of the "Nezha Project". You must know that this is a comprehensive development, the local investment is not small, and there are many construction projects, which naturally have a lot of oil and water.

To put it mildly, this is similar to the situation of building a road, the project itself has oil and water, and after the road is built, you can also open a shop on the side of the road to do business with customers.

As soon as You Fang heard these words, he thought of these doorways in his heart.

The elegy of Li Hongzhang's handwriting is a relic of Xue Qinan's ancestors, You Fang originally planned to hand it over to her in Chongqing, but when he saw Wu Lao's relics in the hotel, he forgot about it in excitement. When he heard about it during the meal, You Fang changed his mind and decided not to take it out for the time being, with other plans in mind.

Xie Xiaoding and others heard these topics at the dinner table and were very interested, anyway, there was nothing else to do during the summer vacation, so they proposed to travel to Yibin as well.

You Fang has long been tempted, he wants to go to Lizhuang Ancient Town, Wu Pingdong once specially showed him a photocopy of Liang Sicheng's hand-drawn album in Lizhuang Ancient Town, and the hand-drawn note style left to him is to inherit the ancestors, which also has the scenery of Lizhuang Ancient Town.

And you also want to take this opportunity to travel to Yibin, Wu Pingdong was born in Yibin, grew up in Yibin, when talking about "history and humanities and mountains and rivers feng shui spirituality", Wu Lao once took the image of Nezha as an example, and You Fang was very impressed.

His sword practice has reached a bottleneck in the realm, according to the requirements of Master Liu Li, Qin Yu's spirituality is completely cultivated, pure grain hard training is not enough, the work is to condense the sense of sword intent spirituality into a real form, is the way to completely cultivate Qin Yu's spirituality, one of the purposes of his coming to Chongqing, not to bring the world's mountains and rivers into the country to practice. What I have seen and heard in the past few days has been very rewarding for the cultivation of secret methods, but I have not understood much about the essentials of continuing to raise swords.

At this moment, there seemed to be a spirit flickering in his heart, and he suddenly felt that he should go to Yibin to find the non-existent Nezha ruins, trace the historical and humanistic atmosphere precipitated in the mountains and rivers, and how to create a vivid mythical spirituality? It seems to come out of thin air rather than out of thin air. You Fang didn't go to Nezha to do something, but to understand this kind of spiritual and spiritual harmony and cultivate his own Qin Yu.

On the other hand, he heard that Xue Qinan was going to take his granddaughter to the countryside, and he was a little uneasy, it was okay to talk on the street in broad daylight, but if he was left alone when he went to the countryside, Wu Yuchong's swaggering appearance, what if he ran into gangsters?

He opened his mouth and said that he wanted to accompany Xue Qinan to Yibin together, she didn't have to worry about anything, he just accompanied him, and said euphemistically that she hadn't returned to her hometown for many years, and the details of life in the countryside were probably a little uncomfortable, and the changes in today's customs and customs were also very big, and if there was anything inconvenient, he, the domestic guide, could help arrange it properly.

Then he said to Wu Yuchong both jokingly and seriously: "I am by your side, and I can be a bodyguard if I have something, although the domestic security is good, it is not completely peaceful." …… Sister Yuchong, I didn't want to say it, but your dress and style are too flamboyant and sexy, if you run out alone, especially in a place with few people, it may be dangerous. In places like New York and Los Angeles, there are neighborhoods with poor security, so you have to be careful here. ”

Wu Yuchong clenched his fist: "Of course it's good for Brother You Fang to go together, but bodyguards, in fact, there is something I can protect you, I heard that China bans guns, but I practice Wing Chun in the United States!" ”

You Fang was amused by her: "Even if you have practiced, your bare hands are not very useful, and sometimes I am afraid that you can't match a few swinging hoes, which is not as exaggerated as written in martial arts novels." ”

The matter was settled in laughter, Xue Qinan didn't mind these young people accompanying her to Yibin, they just wanted to travel by themselves, and they just finished it. Besides, she hasn't been back for many years, and there is no acquaintance in her hometown, but You Fang is the person she feels most familiar and close to here because of Wu Lao's relationship.

After eating, he returned to the precarious guest house, and Xie Xiaoding mentioned the matter to his parents. When her daughter went out to travel, Xie Qin and his wife were a little worried, and it was not the same thing to go with Shen Sibao, but when they heard that You Fang also went, and it was an elderly man who accompanied him from the United States, Xie Xiaoding's interest was so high, so he nodded and agreed.

Think about it, Xie Xiaoding is studying abroad, and they usually can't care if they run out alone, the child grows up and gets better, and there is a steady You Fang watching from the side, so many people go to play together and have fun. If it weren't for the fact that the business of the bracket was in the peak season and couldn't leave, even Xie Qin and his wife wanted to go, and privately told the tour party to be optimistic about Xie Xiaoding, which was completely the tone of his own family's speech.

You Fang originally planned to arrange all the trips that needed to be paid for by himself, but it was just a little bit of his heart, seeing that Xue Qinan had traveled thousands of miles to send the box of relics left by Wu Lao, he felt that how he expressed his heart was not enough. But this trip didn't cost him a penny, the local government covered it all, and specially sent an Iveco to Chongqing to pick him up.

Traveling at public expense, accompanied by officials, you Fang, a small wanderer in the rivers and lakes, has enjoyed this kind of treatment for the first time in his life!

That night, Xue Qinan contacted the district government that invited him, and the other party was very enthusiastic and must receive the whole process, and asked her how many people there were? Xue Qinan casually replied that there were six people, in addition to his granddaughter, there were also four young students, including Wu Pingdong's students. As soon as they turned out, they were all received by the authorities.

In addition to the driver, there are also a man and a woman who came to Chongqing to pick up, the man's name is Yang Chengbin, the reception section chief in his early thirties, the pen of the propaganda department, and he knows the local history very well. The woman's name is Ai Xiaocong, in her twenties, her personality is very lively, she is beautiful, and she is even more rare to drink quite well, she is a deputy director of the District Investment Promotion Office, and she doesn't know what level it is, but she is a very competent accompanying receptionist.

On the way, Wu Yuchong had to sit next to You Fang, and said to him delicately: "Brother You Fang, can I ask you for one thing?" ”

You Fang smiled: "If you have something to say, don't use the word "ask." ”

Wu Yuchong: "The five notes left by my grandfather are the hand-drawn books he inspected in various places, can you give them to me?" ”

You Fang was stunned for a moment, and did not agree directly, but asked rhetorically: "Didn't you know that there were these things in advance?" ”

Wu Yuchong pouted and said: "I don't know much about my grandfather, these things are sorted out by my grandmother according to his last wishes, some are left for ***, some are left for the school, and some are left for other students, and the box is left for you."

I don't know exactly what they are, but I looked through a few books, all of which are quite old and outdated Chinese textbooks, but I didn't expect that there were these notes, I really liked them.

Wu Lao's granddaughter stuck to his side and made a request, it was really difficult for You Fang to refuse, if Wu Yuchong deducted the price when he was sorting out the relics in Beijing, You Fang couldn't say anything. But Xue Qinan, in accordance with Wu Lao's last wish, traveled thousands of miles to send these things to You Fang's hands, he was really reluctant to give them away, each one was his treasure, especially those hand-drawn notes, which were comparable to rare treasures in his eyes.
