Prologue
Yang Qing followed the long line of tourists boredly, slowly moving his sore feet step by step.
What a mistake! Why do you have to travel during the 11th Golden Week!
This bullshit five-day tour of Central China! I knew that I shouldn't have come if I was so tormented!
As a native of Guangxi, tourism did not support the famous Guilin and Yangshuo in his hometown, but went to Wuhan to see the Yellow Crane Tower! Say that...... will be despised to death by the fellows.
However, Yang Qing is also very helpless, Guilin and Yangshuo are so famous that he doesn't know how many times he has been there since he can remember. When I was a child, my parents took me there, and later after my parents died unexpectedly, my aunt's family also took me there, I went to the spring outing of primary school, I also went to the autumn outing of middle school, and I still signed up for the university self-funded donkey friend group! Counting the last crazy bike trip of his senior year a year ago, he even went to the Longji Terraces three times! Yang Qing really didn't want to visit his old place again, because he felt that he was no less familiar with these attractions than those senior tour guides.
The smell of sweat came from the front, and Yang Qing covered his nose. Looking sideways at the beautiful long-haired girl beside her, she had already taken out a handkerchief sprayed with perfume and covered half of her face.
To be honest, this kind of girl is exactly the type that Yang Qing likes, with big eyes, long hair and shawls, a moderate figure, and an aura all over her body. Pity...... The girl's right hand tightly held a tall and handsome man beside her!
Yang Qing pouted, alas! Good flowers have masters, and I really want to loosen the soil.
The hoarse voice of the tour guide came from overhead: "Friends! Now we are in the hall on the second floor of the Yellow Crane Tower. Look at the front, this is a giant marble, engraved with the Tang Dynasty Yan Boli wrote the "Yellow Crane Tower", which tells the ......"
Yang Qing was in a very unhappy mood, what kind of broken tour guide is this! The people behind haven't gone up yet! That's it.
The people in front heard that the tour guide had already explained, and they sped up a few steps, and more than 20 people poured into the hall. Yang Qing lifted his spirits and squeezed to the front. I paid two thousand eight tour fees, and if I don't listen, I won't waste it?
"Look, everybody. On this side of the building is 'Sun Quan built the city', which vividly illustrates the history of the birth of the Yellow Crane Tower and Wuchang City one after another. And a mural over there is 'Zhou Yu holding a banquet', reflecting the activities of celebrities of the Three Kingdoms going to the Yellow Crane Tower at that time. "The tour guide Xiao Zhou's expressionless routine.
Yang Qing has been interested in ancient Chinese history since he was a child, and of course, he is half-. To put it mildly, Yang Qing belongs to a typical "Ye Gong is a good dragon", he likes to watch the discovery journey of the Discovery Channel on weekdays, especially when it comes to excavating ancient tombs or something, and he also likes to search for celebrity history on the Internet or something, but if he really puts a serious history book in front of Yang Qing, it is estimated that he will be able to fall asleep in three minutes.
Looking at the mural carefully, the level is limited, and I really can't see what is the reason, Yang Qing set his eyes on "The Story of the Yellow Crane Tower" again, Zhou Zheng's official book looks very comfortable, and it is very ancient and traditional of Chinese civilization.
"In the southwest corner of the state city, there is a yellow crane tower, and the "Book of Pictures" cloud: 'Fei Yi ascended to the immortal, tried to drive the yellow crane back to rest here, and then took the famous building.' This is the first sentence, which talks about the origin and address of the name of the Yellow Crane Tower. Yang Qing felt a little strange, the Yellow Crane Tower was on top of this snake mountain, could it be that the southwest corner of Wuchang City was on the mountain?
"Xiao Zhou, did you say that the Yellow Crane Tower was like this when it was first built?" An old man in his sixties looked at "Sun Quan built the city" with great interest for a while, and felt that the Yellow Crane Tower in the painting was only three stories high, and the Yellow Crane Tower he climbed now was forty or fifty meters high, which was as many as five floors, and the Yellow Crane Tower in the painting was standing by the river, and the current Yellow Crane Tower was on the mountain, so he asked the doubts in his heart.
Yang Qing vaguely recognized the old gentleman who asked the question, who was also in his own regiment, and seemed to be a retired cadre of an organ in Nanning City.
"That's right. Historically, the Yellow Crane Tower has been built and destroyed repeatedly, and its last time was destroyed in 1884. In 1957, when the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge Wuchang approach bridge was built, the old site of the Yellow Crane Tower was occupied, and now the reconstructed Yellow Crane Tower is about one thousand meters away from the old site, which is the Snake Mountain Peak Ridge where we are now. Although Xiao Zhou is tired, he is dedicated after all, and he memorizes the information of the scenic spots.
Yang Qing nodded secretly, no wonder, it turned out that this Yellow Crane Tower was just a copycat version. However, I don't know what the current position under my feet used to be.
Suddenly, a noisy voice rang in Yang Qing's ears, and it seemed to instantly pull him to an extremely lively place. Yang Qing frowned, raised his head in confusion and looked around.
Nothing out of the ordinary, strange! What just now, so noisy? But another word I couldn't hear clearly.
Did you hallucinate? It's broken, it's broken, and you won't have any strange disease! Yang Qing was stunned for a while.
After a long while, Yang Qing, who was in doubt, calmed down.
Hey? No more voice? Yang Qing looked around blankly, and everything returned to normal again.
"Please come with me, let's go to the third floor to have a look." Xiao Zhou raised the small flag in his hand and took the lead in walking to the stairwell on the side. Everyone followed one after another, leaving a confused Yang Qing.
Shaking his head vigorously, Yang Qing was sure that he had hallucinated just now, maybe he didn't sleep well on the train last night? Looking around for another week, everything is normal, the bustling crowd, the subdued explanations of other tour guides, and the indifferent sales lady in the craft store. Yang Qing shrugged and followed his tour group.
"Everybody come and see. This mural is the 'embroidered portrait painting' of the famous people of the Tang and Song dynasties. Many famous Tang and Song Dynasty talents have come to the Yellow Crane Tower, and have left famous works that have been sung through the ages. Everyone, pay attention, this is the great poet who made the Yellow Crane Tower famous at home and abroad - Cui Hao. His "Yellow Crane Tower Poems" was rated as the first in the singing of the Yellow Crane Tower poems by many ancient and modern writers, and even more, such as the Southern Song Dynasty poet Yan Yu said in "Canglang Poems": "The Tang people's seven-character poems should be the first in Cui Hao's "Yellow Crane Tower". Even when Li Bai arrived at the Yellow Crane Tower, it was the time when the poetry was flourishing, but when he looked up, he found that Cui Hao's "Yellow Crane Tower" had already been inscribed on the wall. The building is famous for poetry, the people are famous for the building, and the building is crowned with poetry. Cui Hao and the Yellow Crane Tower have left us a good story of oral praise. ”
"If you look at Cui Hao's side again, some friends may have recognized it. That's right, he is the most famous great poet in the Tang Dynasty and even Chinese history that we just mentioned, 'poetic immortal' Li Bai! In fact, Li Bai and Yellow Crane Tower also have a deep fate. He once 'climbed the Yellow Crane Tower three times', and each time he left a magnificent poem that was popular among the people. Mountains and rivers are humanistic, relying on each other, making the name of the Yellow Crane Tower more prominent. ”
"The one next to Li Bai is also a famous poet and 'poet king' Bai Juyi......" Yang Qing listened to Xiao Zhou's eloquent introduction, and was staring at Li Bai in the mural with fascination, when he suddenly shook his whole body, and a noisy sound poured into his ears without warning!
Although the sound only lasted a few seconds before disappearing, it still seemed to be a little longer than the first time. So Yang Qing vaguely understood the last few words this time, as if someone was shouting loudly "borrowed from labor" or something.
Ghosts in the daytime? Yang Qing's face turned pale and looked around in fear.
It's normal, it's all human. Although the light inside the Yellow Crane Tower was relatively dim, after all, it was daytime, and the sun was shining brightly outside, so Yang Qing really couldn't think of any reason to be haunted in this place.
Is it really auditory hallucinations? But the voice just now is so clear, it doesn't look like it! Besides, there has never been a similar situation that has happened to him before, and Yang Qing has always thought that he is in good health.
secretly looked at the group members around him, and listened attentively one by one, and no one paid attention to him at all. It seems that only I heard those voices. Broken! I won't have any incurable diseases, will I?!
Yang Qing, who was in a trance, was like a puppet, followed the crowd to the fourth floor in a demented manner, and then went up to the top floor of the Yellow Crane Tower.
Seeing that the door behind the screen was open, Yang Qing didn't have the heart to listen to Xiao Zhou's introduction of "Ten Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River" anymore, he just wanted to go out to breathe, this Yellow Crane Tower is too evil!
As soon as he stepped out of the corridor of the ring building, a slightly fishy river breeze rushed towards him. Yang Qing was refreshed and felt a lot clearer.
It's a rare day with good weather and a big sun. Yang Qing, who was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, felt that Wuhan was much hotter than Nanning. It's one of the furnaces!
The so-called autumn is crisp, it should refer to today's weather. There is not much moisture in the air and visibility is excellent. Yang Qing leaned on the railing and looked into the distance, the Yangtze River and the bridge in the near distance, the Han River in the distance, the TV tower, etc., and he was relaxed and happy.
Well, the newly selected location of the Yellow Crane Tower is good! Most of Wuhan can be seen in full view, which is very consistent with Sun Quan's original intention of building a building for military purposes. But what did the Yellow Crane Tower do later? Legend has it that it seems to have been made into a restaurant, and a yellow crane was painted on the wall to make it dance or something......
Yang Qing, who was thinking about it, suddenly felt a sharp stinging pain in his brain.
"Ahh Yang Qing held his head in both hands, and his eyebrows were already painfully knotted together. The sound that should have been there again!
The sky swirled for a while, Yang Qing's eyes darkened, and his head was planted outside the railing......
