Chapter 438: Colorful Lakeside
Xihai County is located in the southern region of Chile in later generations, and the transformation of drinking water projects has changed the desolate appearance of the place. The scenery is magnificent, especially in the north, where barren mountains are now grassy grasslands, and walking through the mountains is like walking on a five-colored carpet. Zuo Rui was also attracted by this beautiful scenery and lingered. I stayed for more than ten days, and almost every inch of land in Xihai County was visited. "My scholar really knows how to choose a place, this place is so beautiful. Don't forget that when I die, I will be buried with scholars."
"You can rest assured that you will not be disappointed, and you will go to worship the tomb tomorrow. Do you want to go together? ”。
"Go, why don't you go. I'm going to see what's so good about Mingtang there."
"Then clean up and throw away all the useless stuff. Buy so many things, don't forget that the next stop is Houling County, Xinzhou, 40,000 miles away."
"Why is a country so big, it is tens of thousands of miles to run, it's boring."
Today's Houling County Yougu Qihou Mausoleum has long been a tourist attraction, in addition to the beautiful scenery and those legends. The cave where Ouyang Xuan enclosed sheep has also become a famous attraction. The entire Tianshan Mountains were filled with all kinds of legends of the God Emperor, some of which even Ouyang Xuan himself didn't know he had done or visited. Ouyang Xuan's convoy traveled all the way from the gate of time and space for a day to arrive at Qita City, Houling County, and according to the etiquette system, Xinzhou, Houling County, and Qita City raised one, two, and three golden dragon flags respectively. "Why do you have to hang that flag wherever you go? Isn't the majesty a little too much", Zuo Rui said as he looked at the three golden dragon flags fluttering in the wind at the entrance of the Seven Towers City Hall.
"This is the system, the Prime Minister, the Chief of the General Staff have their own banners. That's a symbol of the nation."
"It's a hassle, but the scenery is also good, and I like it."
"If you like it, I'm going to meet NSW officials tomorrow. I'll arrange for someone to take you to play."
"Your emperor is really tired, forget it, I'll go to the head of the East."
Because of the relationship between Houling, the people here have long been accustomed to Ouyang Xuan's arrival. It didn't affect life too much, except that there were more people in the square in front of the city hall and the subway was busier than usual. Most of the officials who can be officials in Houling County are retired Yulin Army and wealthy families, and the people here are also the happiest, these people's connections and political energy have brought rapid development to Houling County, and Qita City has also replaced Jinshan City as the capital of Xinzhou. Xinzhou as an ancient state in China, Swan Lake and Sand Lake as the oldest artificial lake has now developed to a very mature stage, but also an important source of water for regulation in China, the original Gobi yellow sand has long become a dusty history, replaced by thousands of miles of green fields, thousands of hectares of lakes. The original lake was shaped like a tower and has always been called Tower Lake, but with the increase in water diversion and integration with the salty sea system, the entire lake is now like a swan flying westward, and the surrounding wetlands have become the most ideal habitat for migratory birds such as swans and geese in summer. It ranks sixth in terms of area among the freshwater lakes in China, the first is the Black Sea, the second is the Caspian Sea, the third is the Xinghu Lake in North Africa, the fourth is the Sand Lake, the fifth is the Han Lake in North Africa, the sixth is the Swan Lake, the seventh is the Spirit Lake in North Africa, the eighth is the Mohu Lake, the ninth is the Queen's Lake (Victoria Lake) in East Africa, and the tenth is the Mirror Lake in Jingzhou. The amount of water is also basically in this order, but Queenslake is replaced by the North Sea. The first water depth is the Black Sea, the second is the Sand Lake, the third is the Swan Lake, the fourth is the Beihai, the fifth Ling Lake, the sixth Xing Lake, the seventh Mirror Lake, the eighth Han Lake, the ninth is the Qi Lake (Qaidam Basin) located in Qiangzhou, and the tenth is the Qinghu Lake in Yuzhou, North Africa.
In order to completely and permanently desalinate the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea, the seabed has been cleaned up by at least 500 meters, and the overall sea level has risen by more than 100 meters, forming a potential difference in outflow. Swan Lake was dug more than 1,000 meters deep, and the magma taken out was used to build the Great Wall and urban construction, forming a Swan Lake with a depth of 1,890 meters. Water is injected under the surface of arid areas through bottom culverts, creating abundant groundwater resources, as is the case with other artificial lakes.
It is these artificial lakes that nourish the originally barren land of China, and also provide abundant fresh water resources for the future environment, so that Central Asia is no longer a desert, but a green grass and a green grass. Central Asia, the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, Fuzhou, and Suzhou are now important grain producing areas in China, and the annual grain produced is enough for three years in China, and the rest is used for deep processing except for war readiness storage and food. China's agriculture is industrial agriculture and consists of modern farms. The most developed agricultural machinery technology is in Shazhou, where several large-scale agricultural machinery factories have been built with the investment of Taishu's family. As a big family that has been inherited in China for thousands of years, the Taishu family has been very low-key in inheriting the family tradition, although Ouyang Xuan has given great help, but few people in China know that this former queen family, rejected Ouyang Xuan's funding, and has always developed and improved themselves. It is very similar to the Huang family of Penglai County, adhering to the ancestral teachings and maintaining the locality, but never getting involved in the central politics of the country. Ouyang Xuan and Ouyang Ren, as well as various prime ministers, also invited the Huang clan of Penglai County to serve as senior officials in the capital many times, but they always refused, and only ran for the prime minister of Penglai County, but did not participate in the Penglai County Council, nor did they participate in the national two-level parliament. For thousands of years, there have been many great masters, and they have won the support of the local people, and the prime minister of Penglai County has never been left behind for thousands of years, which is just the opposite of Bohai County, which is across the sea.
Because of the four seasons in Xinzhou, the winter is long, and the north shore of the lake is still dominated by large animal husbandry, and the princess sheep is well-known throughout the country. Almost every family has two shrines, one for Ouyang Xuan and the other for Ouyang Gui. This is also the gathering place of the Wusun people, so all kinds of legends about Ouyang Xuan are almost a household name. The valley Hongguan and the Tianchi Temple have condensed a lot of beautiful legends.
After Ouyang Xuan met with officials at all levels in Xinzhou, listened to their reports and opinions, and took Zuo Rui to Houling Valley, it was already five days later. The worship of the Houling is in accordance with Chinese etiquette, which is arranged by Wei Yu and has a set of fixed processes. Ouyang Xuan has always been too lazy to pay attention to these, and he has always followed the procedure. After the memorial, Zuo Rui looked at the grand pyramid and said with emotion: "It would be good if I could have such a mausoleum after I die, your Nizi does not have this blessing, I hope I can catch up in this life."
"Why don't you stop being sarcastic?" , Ouyang Xuan said with a smile.
"Man's fate is predestined, and I am destined for this. Whether I meet you or a scholar, the result is the same. It's just that this is your mausoleum, I won't fight, it's useless to fight, I haven't been a queen, and it's nothing to be a queen here, and I can't be a mother of the world and command the harem. Look at Hongli, how majestic the queen of the harem is", Zuo Rui said sourly.
"Haha, after you are a hundred years, I will give you an explanation. As for what, I'll leave it at that."
Three days later, Ouyang Xuan and his entourage began to tour and play in various parts of Xinzhou, and took Zuo Rui to the route out of the mountain that year, and also went to the leopard tomb, the stone tablet of that year is now decorated and still standing there, it was originally a small stone tomb, and now it has been built into a magnificent stone tomb by the herdsmen and local people. On the epitaph next to it, it also records the legend that Ouyang Xuan was forced to kill the female leopard's family, which was branded as Buddhism. The last stop is Qicai Lake (Kanas) and Jinshui River (Hemu). It's June, and the nasturtiums here are all over the mountains, giving people a feeling of relaxation and happiness. Today's Colorful Lake and Jinshui River are famous all over the world because Ouyang Xuan met Sima Hui here, and the beautiful scenery adds a different atmosphere here. It is also a place that Chinese people must come to once in their lives, feeling the lake and mountains like a fairyland. Compared with later generations, this place is more primitive now, a road along the river, similar to later generations, except that there are no herders or cattle and sheep here, but wild animals are often infested. Guardrails are set up on the roads and at the edges of scenic spots to prevent visitors from being harmed by wild animals. The river in June presents a dark green, and Wolong Bay and Moon Bay appear on the south side of the road like a dream, but Wolong Bay is not so obvious because of the large water, and the big footprints of Moon Bay are still just a prototype.
"Do you want to stay here today?" , Zuo Rui asked suddenly.
"Guan Yi, who lives under the observation deck, why doesn't he want to go back?".
"I think autumn here must be more beautiful, and it would be a kind of practice to live in seclusion here," Zuo Rui said seriously.
"Haha, no, the winter here is very cold, and the snow covers the mountains for half a year. It's not something that ordinary people can endure."
"I just like to be alone in the mountains, not with your flying guy, just for me."
"If you think about it, winter here is not something that ordinary people can bear. In the past, there were people who lived in seclusion here, failed in a year, froze to death and were on the observation deck."
"Who are you talking about?" , Zuo Rui asked curiously.
"Your ancestor Zuo Ci, I also helped back then, but the winter here is too cold. And there are often wolves, which are very easy for people to resist."
"I see, no wonder, no wonder," Zuo Rui said with a deep bow to the observation deck.
"The current observation deck was built by your ancestors and has survived to this day. It was decreed that no one should visit the bay, where the fish were big enough to eat people." "No!".
Because of Ouyang Xuan's arrival, tourists here are lucky to see Ouyang Xuan everywhere. Ouyang Xuan's familiarity with this place is very high, although 1,800 years have passed, the memory of those forty years is indeed extremely profound, and it has not faded with time, but with the advancement of that point in time, the memory has become clearer and clearer. Back then, this was a place where Ouyang Xuan often traveled outdoors, and every place was deeply memorable. After settling in the Guanyi built on the flat ground at the foot of the observation deck, Ouyang Xuan took people to Wolong Bay, Moon Bay, and Shenxian Bay to visit, and climbed the observation deck in the afternoon when the mountain was foggy. In the mist, Ouyang Xuan suddenly felt a trace of unease. Busy said to Wei Yu beside him: "The order is strictly guarded!" ”。
Wei Yu and Dongfang Xu, who also had a feeling of unease, had already made preparations, the white wolf was wandering around Ouyang Xuan anxiously, and the Phoenix Emperor was crying from time to time in the sky. At the top of the mountain, this uneasiness was even stronger, and all the guards and guards of the guard regiment had the same feeling, except for Zuo Rui and the accompanying officials, who still looked identical, enjoying the beautiful scenery like a fairyland.
Until that uneasy feeling reached its maximum, a thunderous roar tore everyone's nerves. The sound was so loud that it made the clouds ripple. The sound should have come from the mountains, and it was difficult to see what it was in the fog on the lake. It was supposed to be a creature like a bear, and then the screams and screams of the crowd could be heard from the jungle not far down the mountain.
"Hurry down and take a look, it may be that the brown bear has come down the mountain", Ouyang Xuan hurriedly ordered. Soon the group got down from the observation deck, got in the car, and went straight to the place where the sound of the lake and bay came from. After crossing the bridge, there is no driveway, so you can only walk along the boardwalk. Ouyang Xuan asked the guards to protect Zuo Rui, and he led the guards to carry the holy sword along the wooden plank road and rushed to the shore of the lake where the incident occurred.
On the way, I met two bloodied tourists and asked, "What's the situation ahead?" ”。
"Go back, go back to Your Majesty, there is a giant beast coming down the mountain", a tourist glanced at Ouyang Xuan and replied on the ground. Ouyang Xuan leaned over to help the tourist up, glanced at it, and said, "Is it a bear or what?" ”。“ Back to Your Majesty, it is several times older than the bear. Three people have already died and countless others have been injured". The tourist answered methodically, but Ouyang Xuan couldn't see that he was a little hurt. glanced at the guards around him, and surrounded the two in a tactical formation. "To be honest, otherwise there will be no forgiveness", Ouyang Xuan said in an unusually fierce tone. There are very few tourists who can come to the lake, and before Ouyang Xuan went up the mountain, he deliberately paid attention to the shore of the lake, and there were only a few people in twos and threes. There can't have been many people, and the blood doesn't seem to be the two, because they weren't hurt at all. Moreover, Ouyang Xuan could be recognized at a glance in the fog, which was definitely not human.
When the two saw that they were surrounded, they didn't panic, and suddenly pulled out two standard sabers from behind their backs and swung their knives at Ouyang Xuan. Stretching out his hand is extremely vigorous, Rao is guard regiment guards anti-emergency speed, and will also be a draw. After a sudden change, the guards regained their gods. The three-person team quickly formed a combat attack formation, and it only took one round for the two of them to be cut off and captured on the spot. Ouyang Xuan glanced at it and ordered, "Take it down for interrogation, and the rest of the people will follow me."
With that, he continued to run forward with his guard without encountering any tourists, but the feeling of unease was even stronger. In the thick fog, the roar grew stronger and stronger, until a bend in the lake, under the thick fog, a smell of blood came to the surface. As soon as Ouyang Xuan arrived, Wei Yu and Dongfang Xu also rushed over with some of the guards, and Dongfang Xu had more anti-equipment heavy weapons in his hands. Ouyang Xuan glanced at it and smiled: "As for being so serious, where did you find an anti-armor rifle?" ”。
"Your Majesty, be prepared, these weapons are all daily equipment, but don't take them out easily", Dongfang Xu replied. Ouyang Xuan shook his head helplessly, the caliber of this anti-equipment automatic rifle is sixteen millimeters, the steel core armor-piercing bullet, the length of the bullet is twenty-two millimeters, and the steel core is equipped with time-delayed pressure-sensing high-explosive alloy ammunition, which is powerful enough to destroy an entire armor. It is only in the last decade that this kind of anti-materiel weapon has been equipped with conventional weapons for the Guards and the remaining Yulin Army.
The breeze blew, and a strong smell of blood came from the jungle, and everyone turned around and stood in battle formation, for fear that something would go wrong. A huge black shadow became clearer and clearer, and Dongfang Xu also raised the anti-materiel rifle in his hand.
