As soon as it was dawn the next day, Zhang Chengyuan and Cheng Youli got up. After washing, Zhang Chengyuan went to the next door and called Xiao Jing up. As soon as Xiao Jing woke up and saw him, she immediately stood up, hugged him, and complained: "Brother, if you have Sister Youli, you forgot about me as a sister, and you didn't sleep with me yesterday, so I almost couldn't sleep!" ”

Zhang Chengyuan smiled: "You can't sleep?" As soon as you got into bed last night, you almost fell asleep! Okay, don't be coquettish, you're so old, it's impossible for my brother to sleep with you all the time. ”

Xiao Jing suddenly said seriously: "Brother, if I grow up and be your woman, will I be able to sleep with you for the rest of my life?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan laughed and said, "Girl, what crazy are you talking about?" You're just my sister, how can you be my woman? Be obedient, don't think about any miscellaneous things, when you grow up, my brother will find you a handsome, handsome and gentle boyfriend. ”

Xiao Jing said disdainfully: "No matter how handsome and handsome you are, can you compare to your brother?" No matter how gentle you are, how can you treat me so well with your brother? Unless I can really find a man who can completely match my brother in the future, why don't I have a boyfriend? Brother, don't try to kick me away in your life, I will definitely pester you. The more he talked, the more he hugged Zhang Chengyuan tightly.

Zhang Chengyuan taught softly: "I'm talking stupid things again, when you meet a boy you like in the future, you may not think like this anymore." Okay, let's not talk about it, get up and wash up, Yifei may be coming later, don't let us wait for you. ”

Xiao Jing glanced at Zhang Chengyuan with some displeasure. Then let him go. Got out of bed with a bone. Put on your slippers and go to the bathroom to wash up. No matter how much she disagrees with Zhang Chengyuan's words, she usually listens to Zhang Chengyuan's orders.

After a while, she finished washing, changed her clothes and walked out, and then she was pulled by Zhang Chengyuan to meet Cheng Youli next door. Subsequently. The three of them went downstairs to the restaurant for breakfast.

While eating, Liu Yifei came, and after calling Zhang Chengyuan, he learned that they were having breakfast, so he also came to the restaurant, and Zhang Chengyuan immediately invited her to sit down and eat breakfast together.

Liu Yifei was not polite, took a breakfast, and then sat next to Xiao Jing and ate it. Although she originally wanted to invite Zhang Chengyuan and the three of them to a restaurant outside to eat some authentic old Yanjing breakfast, since Zhang Chengyuan and the three of them had already started eating, there was no need to change venues.

After breakfast. The four of them returned to the room, and Zhang Chengyuan, Cheng Youli, and Liu Yifei changed their clothes slightly. Make yourself ugly so that people can't easily recognize them, and as for the little crystal, naturally there is no need to modify it. Then after packing up their belongings, everyone set off, got into a car specially prepared by Liu Yifei with an ordinary appearance but quite spacious and comfortable facilities, and went to Tianshou Mountain at the foot of Yanshan Mountain in the northwest suburbs of Yanjing, ready to visit the Ming Ming Tombs.

Along the way, the four of them chatted while looking at the scenery outside the car window, and Liu Yifei also took this opportunity to introduce the Ming Tombs to Xiao Jing, who listened with interest and asked some ridiculous questions from time to time. For a lively girl like her, who is very curious, as long as she has not seen something, she is very interested in paying attention, and her face has always been quite thick under the influence of Zhang Chengyuan, so even if she asks questions that make people feel naïve, she doesn't feel ashamed.

About half an hour later, the car drove to the scenic spot of the Ming Ming Tombs. The four of them got out of the car, and they were faced with a solemn gatehouse with a yellow tile roof and a vermilion wall, called the big red gate, also called the big palace gate.

After looking carefully for a while, Zhang Chengyuan asked Liu Yifei: "Last night I looked at the information of the Ming Tombs on the Internet, and the road of the Ming Tombs is the first scenic spot of the Ming Tombs, which is composed of stone archways, big red gates, Shinto, stele pavilions, stone statues, and dragon and phoenix gates. ”

Liu Yifei turned around, pointed to the back, and said: "We saw the stone archway when we passed by before, just a few hundred meters ahead, I just cared about talking to the crystal, and forgot to point it out to you, if you are interested, when we return to pass, get out of the car and take a closer look." Actually, in my opinion, this stone archway is not very beautiful. ”

After a while, the four of them stepped into the mausoleum area, passed through the big red gate, saw a straight and smooth stone avenue, next to it were some trees, and there was nothing to see, so they walked forward quickly, walked for a few minutes, and saw a small building that said "Ming Ming Tombs General Shinto" and "Ticket Office", so they entered and bought tickets, and then continued to walk forward. Within two steps, I saw two tall and burly Huabiao on the left and right sides of the road.

Xiao Jing was a little puzzled, pointed to Huabiao, and asked Zhang Chengyuan softly: "Brother, what are those two tall, big, and strangely shaped pillar-like buildings for?" When we went to Tiananmen Square yesterday, we also saw two of them. ”

Zhang Chengyuan said without thinking: "It is called Huabiao, which is a kind of traditional architecture in ancient China, which is usually built in front of palaces and mausoleums, and has the functions of deterrence, identification, decoration and so on......"

Continue to move forward, see a tall square pavilion with red walls and yellow tiles, go in and take a look, find that there is a stone tablet erected in the pavilion, seven or eight meters high, engraved with "Ming Changling Shengong Shengde Monument" several big characters and thousands of words of small character inscription, dense and no one wants to look closely, but the stone seat under the stele is quite eye-catching, it is a big turtle with its head up, well, maybe it should not be called a turtle, because its head is not the head of a turtle, but a bit like a dragon.

For this kind of animal with a dragon's head and a turtle body, Xiao Jing saw it for the first time, and she was inevitably a little curious, so she asked Zhang Chengyuan again, in her eyes, Zhang Chengyuan is a moving treasure trove of knowledge, and she will definitely know the answer. Sure enough, Zhang Chengyuan did not disappoint her this time, and replied: "This stone turtle should be called Gan Tuan, also known as Gu Ling, Baxia, one of the nine alien sons of the legendary dragon." ”

"Does the dragon have nine alien sons?" It was the first time she had heard of it.

"Well, according to some Chinese myths and legends, the dragon gave birth to nine sons, namely the prisoner ox and the jaw...... Kiss and so on. Prisoner cow, love music. It often crouches on the headstock to enjoy the music of plucked strings...... Dumpling. Good load. Carrying the stone tablet for many years...... "Seeing that Xiao Jing was a little interested in the nine sons of the dragon, Zhang Chengyuan explained them one by one.

After hearing their conversation, Cheng Youli and Liu Yifei also listened curiously, and after listening, Liu Yifei said with admiration: "Brother Zhang, you are really amazing, you can remember such a large amount of rare knowledge, and you are more like Chinese than my Chinese." ”

Hearing Liu Yifei praise Zhang Chengyuan. Xiao Jing immediately said happily: "Of course, my brother is the best." She has always been proud to have Jang Sung-won as an older brother, and she is proud to have it, and when others praise Jang Sung-won, she feels like she is praising herself.

Zhang Chengyuan patted her head and said, "Don't say this kind of nonsense again, you don't feel embarrassed, but I'm ashamed." In fact, he just searched and checked some information related to the Ming Tombs last night, and wrote them down with good memory. So I don't think I'm so great.

Little Crystal muttered, "I'm not wrong! ”

The four of them continued to walk forward and walked out of the stele pavilion. There were two Huabiao in front of him, this time Xiao Jing took a closer look, suddenly made a new discovery, and asked: "Brother, there seems to be an animal squatting on the Huabiao, what kind of animal is it?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan replied: "That is called Wangtian Roar, and he is also one of the sons of the legendary dragon, who often roars at the sky, and is regarded as a spirit animal that transmits the will of heaven and sends the people's feelings. Because he was afraid that Xiao Jing would not understand what it meant to "upload the will of heaven and send the people's feelings", he explained again in ordinary language.

Xiao Jing said: "But the nine sons of the dragon you just talked about, it seems that you didn't mention this roar of looking at the sky?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan explained: "The legendary dragon has many offspring and has many offspring, not only nine sons, but the word 'nine' in 'dragon gives birth to nine sons' can be regarded as the meaning of 'many'. The nine I mentioned before are just nine of the more well-known ones. ”

Xiao Jing suddenly whispered: "Brother, this dragon seems to be very similar to you, powerful and lustful, do you say that you will be like a dragon in the future, and you will have many sons?" Don't you want to marry several sisters? ”

Zhang Chengyuan immediately glared at her and reprimanded in a low voice: "You girl, you dare to count my brother like this, be careful that I spank you on the spot!" Also, when you're outside, don't say such private words, it's not good to be heard. ”

Xiao Jingjing grinned, not taking his threat seriously, because since he was a child, Zhang Chengyuan had never taught him a lesson outside, but she would still listen to his last words.

While they were talking, Liu Yifei, who was chatting with Cheng Youli, suddenly glanced sideways at them, and didn't know whether he inadvertently glanced over here, or heard their whispers, and was shocked and puzzled, so he couldn't help but glance at them.

……

As he spoke, he walked forward, and suddenly saw a toilet, and the four of them walked in to solve their physiological needs, so as not to wait for a hurry but not find a place. After coming out, continue to walk, first see two tall stone pillars on both sides of the straight road, and then every short distance, there are pairs of lifelike stone statues, from south to north, in turn, there are nine categories: lions, pigs, camels, elephants, unicorns, horses, generals, ministers and lords.

Among the 6 kinds of stone beasts, each has two pairs, one pair kneeling and one pair standing, however, whether it is kneeling or standing, its form is bowed down to the ear, although lifelike, but it seems to lack a kind of animal personality itself.

Xiao Jing asked with some disappointment: "Brother, why are these animals not at all spiritual?" Look at this lion, squatting like a dog, without the majesty of the king of the steppe at all. Perhaps, in her opinion, the animal stone statue should also have the demeanor and spirit of its original body, so as to be beautiful and presentable.

However, where can Zhang Chengyuan know what these animal stone statues are and why they are carved into the current appearance? After thinking about it, he said casually: "Maybe it's because they are only used as the emperor's guards here, since they are guards, then they naturally have to be loyal, and they can't be high-spirited!" ”

"Aren't they pitiful?" Little Crystal asked whimsically.

"If they had spirits, they might feel like they could only stand here every day for people to see, and they couldn't go anywhere, really pitiful, right?" Jang Sung-won replied again following her thoughts.

Xiao Jing suddenly rejoiced: "It's better for us, you can visit and wander around, and you can see a lot of scenery." ”

Zhang Chengyuan glanced at Xiao Jing with a smile, and said in his heart: "This child's thoughts are really strange, how could these thoughts come up inexplicably." ”

After seeing the stone statue, he saw a rather imposing door wall in front of him, and when he saw this building, Zhang Chengyuan's mind immediately flashed the information he had seen last night: Lingxing Gate, also known as Longfeng Gate. It is composed of four red walls and three door openings, and the door post is similar to a Huabiao, and there are cloud plates and strange beasts on the pillars. In the central part of the forehead of the three doors, there is also a stone carved fire bead respectively, so the door is also called "flame archway".

Thinking of this, he stopped and took a few looks. However, except for the solemnity and the stone carving of fire beads, he didn't think there was anything to look at. At the moment, after a few glances, he continued to move on.

And the little crystal that watched with him couldn't see the reason, but felt that it seemed a bit cumbersome to open three doorways on one wall - wouldn't it be more convenient to walk and save more effort to open a big doorway directly? A simple child like her naturally would not understand the exquisiteness and poverty of the emperor's house.

Then there was the Shinto Museum, and the four of them went in to see it, and then they came out immediately, because they were going to visit the mausoleum, so they didn't want to delay here for long. After walking a few steps forward, you will walk out of the north gate exit of Shinto, and by this point, the entire main Shinto has almost been visited.

At that moment, everyone got into the car they had been waiting in at the exit for a long time, and headed for Changling.

In about ten minutes, the car arrived outside the Changling Gate, and everyone looked out of the car window, and at a glance they found that there were many more tourists here than on the Shinto side, gathered together in piles, and there were all kinds of people. Zhang Chengyuan's heart sank, and he said to Liu Yifei: "There are a lot of people, wait and be careful, don't be recognized." ”

Liu Yifei nodded and said, "Brother Zhang, you also have to be careful, now you are also quite popular in the Chinese, and many people recognize you." ”

At that moment, after the two of them put on a little more makeup and became a little uglier, they walked out of the car again, and Xiao Jing and Cheng Youli didn't need to be so troublesome, they had already walked out of the car and looked at it.

First went to buy tickets, and then the four of them walked into the Changling Mausoleum Gate, into the eyes is a spacious square, accommodating hundreds of people are more than enough, on the east side of the square, is a stele pavilion, go in and see another by a dragon head turtle body of the camel stele stele, because in the Shinto stele pavilion has seen one, and the one in front of the eyes is obviously not as Shinto as the one is more imposing, therefore, Zhang Chengyuan and others did not look closely, and walked out.

Then return to the middle of the square, facing a towering palace gate, called Qi'en Gate, built on the white marble steps, four people climb the steps, through the Qi'en Gate, inside is a courtyard, look up, a tall and majestic palace stands in front of you, shocking, Zhang Chengyuan, Liu Yifei is still better, Cheng Youli and Xiao Jing immediately looked stunned, Xiao Jing's mouth was even more amazed: "Wow, wow, than the Gyeongbokgung Palace's Qinzheng Hall is much more majestic, this is really just a mausoleum palace?" ”

Gyeongbokgung Palace is the imperial palace of the Lee family's Joseon, while the Qinzheng Hall is the main hall of Gyeongbokgung Palace, and its status and function are equivalent to the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City of China.

Zhang Chengyuan said lightly: "Small countries and large countries are incomparable in terms of manpower and material resources, especially in ancient times. Hearing that there was some disparaging connotation in his tone, Cheng Youli and Xiao Jing didn't mind, because they knew that Zhang Chengyuan had always been like this, but he was laughing at himself, and what he said was also the truth.
