Chapter 584: Xiangguo Frost Bell

Entering the inner city, with this thin team of envoys, it seems that this Wu Shi feels that he can't hold up face in Bianjing City, and he has a lot less words. However, this Cai Ying, as at the beginning, introduced the scenery on both sides of the street to Zhou Nan from time to time.

  A short distance to the west, the street becomes a stone bridge, under which a river runs diagonally. Cai Yan pointed to a temple on the north side of the street and said to Zhou Nan, "This is Guanyin Temple, and the bridge is named after the courtyard, so it is called Guanyin Yuan Bridge." The river under this bridge is one of the four waters. ”

  Zhou Nan looked at both sides of the street, except for some stores, there was nothing lively. Wu Shi said in a strange voice, "The horse is here in Bianjing, it is worth the trip - this is not only the Recording Alley, but it is comparable to the Sweet Water Alley, but there will be fun until the evening, hehe." ”

  Zhou Nan saw Wu Shi's face full of obscenity, and he understood what he meant, and he didn't pay attention to Wu Shi, but he sighed in his heart that for thousands of years, this man's temperament was average.

  Seeing that Zhou Nan didn't speak, Cai Ying thought that this handsome horse took care of his face, so he pointed to the front and said, "On the right side of the street in front, the mountain gate is grand and majestic, and it is the Great Xiangguo Temple." There is an ancient bell in the temple, about one zhang six feet high, weighs more than 10,000 catties, in the morning and dusk, the bell rings throughout the city, especially when the frost is heavy in autumn, the ancient bell rings Qingyue, the sound is five miles, it is one of the eight views of Bianjing, "Xiangguo frost bell". It's a pity that the horse didn't come to Beijing at the time of autumn dew. ”

  Wu Shi said to Zhou Nan, "This is the extraordinary place of the ancient bell, there are no less than 30 temples in Bianjing City, and there are many large and small bells in the temple, but only the ancient bell of Xiangguo Temple, when the frost is heavy every year, the sound of Qingyue is more and more different." I wonder if the colt has ever seen such a strange thing in another place? ”

  Zhou Nan smiled faintly and replied, "It's not a strange thing. It's just because Wu Sheren's people only think of Sweet Water Lane in their hearts that they can't figure it out. Zhou Nan hated Wu Shi for all kinds of offenses along the way, and now he used this ancient bell to show off to him, and he couldn't bear it.

  Cai Yan and Wu Shi were both shocked, and Wu Shi didn't care about Zhou Nan sneering at him, and asked, "Does the horse know why the ancient bell changes color when the frost is heavy in autumn?" ”

  Zhou Nan rode a horse, looked at both sides and said, "Zhong Ben gold, according to the genus of the five elements, when Jin should be in autumn, naturally the sound of the ancient bell will be more and more sound in autumn. ”

  "What a colt is saying!" Wu Shi stood up excitedly, but almost fell off the horse, "If you follow the words of the horse, in autumn, all the bells should have a different sound." But that's not the case! ”

  "The people of Wu She sat firmly—the children were powerless and could not plow; And the adult skeleton grows and can tend the farmland. The big bell can sense the air of the four o'clock, so it can send out a melodious sound; Even if the little clock can sense the qi of the four o'clock, it is only weak and cannot change with the times, so the sound will not change. I heard that when autumn comes to August, there is a big tide flowing up the river in Qiantang; But I have never heard that there is a big tide in the autumn of Bianshui. That's it. ”

  The tide of Qiantang in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, as scribes, Wu Shi and Cai Yan naturally heard of it, and Cai Ying, as a native of Jiangnan, had also seen it with his own eyes. When the tide comes, there is indeed no river that can match the surging and mountain-like tide. And the ancient bell of Daxiangguo Temple is indeed the largest bell in Bianjing; Compared with adults, children naturally can't do some things. From this point of view, the ancient bell of Daxiangguo Temple can emit a melodious sound every autumn, which is indeed the reason for the explanation of this horse who drinks blood from Ru Mao.

  The tide of the Qiantang River is caused by the special geographical situation of the Qiantang River and the gravitational attraction of the moon, both of which are indispensable. Zhou Nan is just opportunistic, using it to prove that different sizes of things will cause different situations.

  It's just that there is a truth, where can Wu Shi and Cai Yan think of it for a while? Wu Shi was simply dumbfounded, and couldn't close his mouth for a long time; Cai Yan's eyes were full of surprise and even jealousy for Zhou Nan, his family has a history, he has read poetry and books since he was a child, he has been ambitious as a young man, and he has won the Jinshi, and he has achieved the Xuanhe Palace at a young age. But the barbarian warrior in front of him, who seemed inconspicuous, had not read any books, and had not been beaten by Jinshi, actually said the truth of Xiangguo Shuangzhong to the point that it was impossible to refute.

  Cai Yan boasted to Zhou Nan: "I can't imagine that the horse leading the troops to fight is invincible, and even the principle of this grid is so proficient." Cai admired it so much. It was the first time he had to really praise someone, a person who was younger than himself, who spoke in a somewhat unnatural voice.

  Seeing Wu Shi stammering and speechless, Zhou Nan was secretly proud in his heart. Sitting on the horse easily, looking at the white jade railing on the platform in front of the Tianwang Hall exposed in the mountain gate of Daxiangguo Temple, and the layers of dougong that can be seen from the wall inside the temple, the top is covered with yellow and green glazed tiles.

  "I heard that Daxiangguo Temple has a few days a month, what is open to trade, and what monk makes roast pork for seagulls?" Zhou Nan asked with interest.

  "Exactly." Wu Shi said listlessly, like a tour guide who has no tourists to buy the tourist goods he recommends, "Xiangguo Temple is traded five times a month. All kinds of rare birds and beasts, pen and ink crowns and hats, books and pictures, pearls and green heads, soil and incense, there are countless things. If the colt is interested, someone will accompany the colt to play another day. ”

  When Zhou Nan saw Wu, he no longer had the swaggering momentum he had at the beginning, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly.

  "This is the Royal Street, and from here to the north, is the Xuande Building of the Imperial Palace."

  "This street is Junyi Bridge Street, and from here to the north is Kaifeng Mansion......"

  "This is the inner street of Chongmingmen, and the suburbs in the north are the Duting West Station, which is the venue for entertaining the envoys of the Jin Kingdom......

  Zhou Nan's heart moved, and he was a golden man again! I don't know if those two golden people will live in Duting Xiyi, it seems that I can't get around these golden people.

  Since explaining the reason for Xiangguo Shuangzhong, Cai Yan and Wu Shi traveled much faster, and after a while, they came to the Duting Station in the southwest corner of the inner city. The two of them arranged for the post guards in the post house, and naturally there were messengers who came to lead Zhou Nan's people to arrange for them to move in.

  Cai Ying's expression was not as unnatural as just now, and he smiled and said to Zhou Nan, "I have finished our errand, and we want to return to the Holy Lord, and the imperial court has its own embassy to accompany me." The horse's literary talent and martial arts strategy made us admire, and we will set up a banquet to treat each other another day, and I hope that the horse will not shirk. ”

  Zhou Nan and the two said politely, Cai Yan and Wu Shi said goodbye to Zhou Nan and left the museum.

  Xiao Jiu, who had been following Zhou Nan's side, let out a sigh of relief and said, "This Wu Shi is really a "mistake", he was verbose along the way, and he even missed the meal when he got here!" ”

  Zhou Nan said with a smile, "Whatever you want to eat, just let the people here do it." Wait until you're done eating, and look around. "I like Song Chungui, please collect x Song Chungui.
