Song Yuanfu two years Wuzhou

Wuzhou, known as Cangwu County in ancient times, is located in the east of Guangnan West Road, the confluence of the Xun River, the Guijiang River and the Xijiang River, and is actually the east gate of Guangnan West Road.

Wuzhou is built according to the mountains and rivers, the traffic is relatively convenient, and it is the commodity distribution center in the east of Guangnan West Road, and businessmen from all over the country gather.

Wuzhou also has a special feature, that is, the "Ancient Salt Horse Road" that runs through Guangdong, Guizhou and Yunnan, after the salt dealers transport the salt from the coastal salt field to Lianzhou by boat, they will transport it to Yulin by ox cart, and then transfer it to all parts of the West Guangnan Road or southwest through Wuzhou. At that time, one team after another of the salt transport fleet, riding the wind and waves on the river surface of Wuzhou, or tracing the Guijiang River to the north, or hanging sails on the Xijiang River, the scene is spectacular, breathtaking.

"Thank you Miss Cai for taking care of me all the way, and I will say goodbye here, and there will be a period later." Near the gate of Wuzhou, Li Sanjian said to Cai Rongxue.

After more than a month of difficult trekking, Li Sanjian, Cai Rong and others finally arrived in Wuzhou, and after passing Wuzhou, they could reach Guizhou through the Guizhou and Li Rivers.

Li Sanjian is a native of Lingnan, and he has already traveled from Guizhou to Tokyo the year before last, and has already walked this road, Li Sanjian originally thought that he should lead the way, but Li Sanjian never expected that Cai Rongxue was more familiar with how to get to Lingnan than himself, how to get to Guizhou, and Cai Rongxue chose the official road, which is the official road with a pavilion.

The official roads leading to various roads, prefectures, prefectures, armies, and counties in Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo are relatively smooth, and trees such as elms, willows, pines, and cedars are planted on both sides of the official roads, and drainage ditches are dug in some sections. The official road is also marked with road mileage, land boundaries, etc., and the marker stone tablets or wooden signs inserted in the mound of earth and rocks are called "hoko".

The post shop on the official road is also relatively complete, generally there is a horse shop on the top and bottom of 20 miles, there is a horse pavilion, there is a pavilion post about 60 miles, the post can eat, rest, and even provide horses, carriages, etc., but the pavilion set up by the government only receives envoys, officials and their families, etc., like Li Sanjian, this kind of white ding, can only live on the roadside "wild shop".

It is necessary to stay in the pavilion to be an official, and it is necessary to have a "check-in certificate", and Cai Rongxue's husband Cai Jing is the imperial court's will, and his uncle Cai Bian has been promoted to Shangshu Zuocheng at this time, and he is the minister of the "two governments", so for Cai Rongxue, it is very easy to get a "check-in certificate".

Therefore, along the way, Li Sanjian followed Cai Rongxue to eat, rest, and feed the horses in the pavilion, and the autumn wind was very happy.

But after arriving in Wuzhou, Li Sanjian was embarrassed to follow Cai Rongxue to eat and drink again, and he really had no face to fight the autumn wind, so Li Sanjian said goodbye to Cai Rongxue and wanted to find a home inn to live in, and then go to Guizhou alone to take the exam.

"Childe doesn't have to be polite, please take care of yourself." Cai Rongxue smiled and blessed a blessing.

Along the way, Li Sanjian and Cai Rongxue talked about everything, and they talked happily, but Cai Rongxue was always so polite, which always made Li Sanjian feel that there seemed to be something between the two, and many times, Li Sanjian felt a little bored.

In any case, although Cai Rongxue's background is more pitiful and miserable, she is the righteous daughter of the important ministers of the court after the prime minister, and the daughter of a large family, so why don't people be separated from her? Li Sanjian secretly laughed at himself.

。。。。。。。。

After rushing for more than a month, Rao is Li Sanjian's body was relatively strong at this time, and he was also extremely tired, so Li Sanjian casually found an inn and slept for a whole day and a night.

After Li Sanjian got up and took a bath, he ate something casually and went to the street to wander around.

Of course, Li Sanjian can also review his homework to prepare for the imperial examination, but painting comes from life, and the same is true for articles, and a good article cannot be written without the accumulation of bits and pieces of life, and Li Sanjian has long been aware of this.

At the same time, Wuzhou is an important town in the east of Guangnan West Road, and Li Sanjian didn't go to look around after he came, so it was a pity.

Wuzhou is worthy of being an important town in the east of Guangnan West Road, although it is far less than Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, but it is also a prosperous scene of people coming and going, bustling and extraordinary, goods coming and going from the south to the north, businessmen from all walks of life gathering, lingering literati and ink writers, a prosperous scene.

The scenery of Wuzhou is beautiful, and the famous scenic spots are Guijiang Chunfan, Yunling Qinglan, Longzhou Tuozhi, Hegang Huizhao, Jinniu Xiandu, Crocodile Pond Yangyue, Volcanic Sunset Flame, Bingjing Spring Fragrance.

In addition to the "Eight Views of Wuzhou", there are also Qilou City, Dragon Mother Temple and other scenic spots, at this time Li Sanjian walked to the vicinity of the Dragon Mother Temple.

The Dragon Mother Temple is built by the mountains and rivers, and is composed of the archway, the front hall, the middle hall, the harem, the palace, the turtle pond and so on.

Legend has it that the eighth day of May and the fifteenth day of August are the birthday of the Dragon Mother and the day of ascension to immortals respectively, so at this time of the year, the Dragon Mother Temple is very lively. Although it is March at this time, it has not yet reached the eighth day of the fifth month, and it has not yet reached the birthday of the dragon mother, but the temple inside and outside the temple is still full of lanterns, many good men and women and visitors rush to worship, incense, touch the dragon bed, shine on the dragon mother mirror, use the dragon mother comb, wash the dragon mother water, drink the dragon mother tea, throw coins into the longevity turtle, it is a lively scene.

"Let's go, let's go!"

"What's wrong?"

"Demon Lord's method, take a look."

"Demon Lord? Which Demon Lord? ”

"Of course it's the Yellow Demon Lord, who else is worthy of the Demon Lord? Who dares to call the Demon King? "Read

"Hey, isn't it just a mud leg? Demon Lord? What kind of gentleman do you really think he is? I heard that he used to sell plasters and tell fortunes to people, but now that he has changed, do you really think that he has become the Jade Emperor? ”

"Haha, the Jade Emperor can't talk about it, but the old man heard that he is the reincarnation of the world's envoy."

"The envoy of the world? Will the Emissary be reincarnated as a clay leg? No matter how you want to be reincarnated as an outsider, you have to be reincarnated. ”

"Go, you two have something to say, don't stand in the way of me waiting, delay listening to the teaching, can you afford it?"

As soon as Li Sanjian arrived at the Dragon Mother Temple, he just stepped into the crowd, and he listened to the noise in front of him, and at the same time, good men and women rushed forward one after another, and poured into the Dragon Mother Temple, and Li Sanjian was involuntarily pushed into the temple by the crowd.

"Hmm... As soon as Li Sanjian entered the temple, he stepped on a soft object, which seemed to be the instep of a person's foot, and at the same time, the moaning sound of this person due to pain, Li Sanjian sounded unusually familiar.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, huh? It's you? Seeing this, Li Sanjian hurriedly helped this person and apologized repeatedly, but after Li Sanjian saw this person clearly, he couldn't help but be surprised.

This person is not Cai Rongxue, who is it?

Cai Rongxue, who is dressed as a man, is dressed in black, and she is still covered with black gauze, but she wears a black wide-brimmed hat that covers most of her face, and the mask does not look so conspicuous.

Looking a little like a swordsman in black? Or a petite swordsman... Li Sanjian felt secretly amused in his heart.

"Why are you here?" Cai Rongxue blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look up at Li Sanjian, and asked in a low voice.

"Of course, you're here to see the excitement, why are you here?" Li Sanjian asked with a smile.

"I... I'll incense... Cai Rongxue glanced up at Li Sanjian at this time, and replied hesitantly.

Li Sanjian was speechless when he heard this, he was speechless, along the way, Cai Rongxue basically had to enter the temple, and the temple must enter, and now she actually came to the Dragon Mother Temple to incense... Cai Rong bowed to the snow and was extremely pious, I really don't know what she is asking for? Li Sanjian wondered in his heart, is it all praying for her late mother?

"Follow me, better hold on to me." Li Sanjian then grinned.

Now the temple is overcrowded, and it is impossible to go back, only to follow the past to see, at the same time, there are too many people, and it is easy to have a stampede, and Cai Rongxue is a woman and petite, so Li Sanjian has the obligation to protect her.

Li Sanjian's sleep is not as exaggerated as Shankui's, but after all, he is almost twenty years old, and the exercise is not simple, which has made Li Sanjian grow taller and stronger, so Li Sanjian's "chopping waves" is relatively easy.

The petite Cai Rongxue blushed, gently grabbed Li Sanjian's sleeve with her hand, shrank behind Li Sanjian, and followed Li Sanjian to squeeze in.

"Xie Kai is a merciful shaved lotus stage, there is no way, in the blink of an eye, the blink of an eye is separated, and the red stripes come and go without worry. There is a single line of smoke and rain hats, and I can break the bowl with the fate of the mangs"

Where is the practice? No, it should also be a practice, it is a practice for the dead, after Li Sanjian entered the Dragon Mother Temple with the crowd, he saw a man dressed in white and thought after chanting words in the crowd.

This man in white not only has snow-white clothes, but even his beard and hair are white, and he seems to be an old man, but from his face, he is only a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man placed a coffin in front of him, and around the coffin were seven or eight filial sons and daughters who were crying breathlessly.

After the Yellow Demon Monarch finished reciting the incantation, a Manichaean who was also dressed in snow-white clothes turned out from behind the Yellow Demon Monarch, pointed to the deceased in the coffin and shouted, "Did you have a crown when you came?" ”

"The stripes fell to the ground, and there was no crown." After the filial son replied loudly, he began to remove the soap towel that the deceased had thrown himself into.

"Did you come with any clothes? Do you have shoes when you come? ”

The filial daughter replied: "There is only a body wrapped in the body, and there is no trace with me." The farmer was originally barefoot, leaving his innocence and immortality. So the filial sons and filial daughters worked together, asking three questions and answering questions, taking off and unloading, and stripped their dead father to the point that only a pair of pants remained...

At this time, several congregants came up, opened a large white cloth bag, put the body in it, wrapped it and stopped, and then the congregants and filial sons and daughters lifted the cloth bag and walked out, and buried the deceased in a deep pit that had been dug.

When the people filled in the soil, they recited the Buddha's name and threw the rice and wheat grains in their hands until a grave was piled up.

Naked burial? Li Sanjian clasped his hands and watched all this with interest.
