The structure of the Yang family's carriage is somewhat different from that of other carriages.

First of all, the outside of the wheels of the Yang family's carriage is wrapped with a thick layer of leather, which can produce a shock-absorbing effect while traveling.

Unlike the carriages of this era, the wheels of the Yang family's carriage were not directly installed on both sides of the carriage, but became an individual independently. In the middle of the two wheels, iron rods made of wrought iron were joined together, and then several tripods were mounted at the bottom of the carriage, on which the wheels were placed. In this way, the wheels will not fall off easily, and at the same time, it can also have a shock-absorbing effect.

Di Guangyuan and Xue Chuyu were amazed, and couldn't help but praise: "Qingzhi's whimsical ideas are indeed admirable. ”

Yang Shouwen heard it next to him, and only smiled indifferently.

In fact, he didn't know much about the structure of this kind of carriage, but only designed the shape of the frame car of later generations, and then transformed it by craftsmen. However, this modified carriage has indeed become a lot more comfortable.

However, his real secret was not discovered by Xue Chuyu and Di Guangyuan.

Horseshoe!

The horses of the Yang family are nailed with horseshoes, which also makes those horses safer to walk on the road.

This is also a trump card in Yang Shouwen's hand, after arriving in Luoyang, he will give the horseshoe to Wu Zetian when necessary.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The heavy rain lasted for more than half an hour and gradually became lighter.

Yang Shouwen and the others embarked on the road to the west again, but the speed of this march slowed down.

No way. Most of the official roads in these years were made of rammed earth. There are no asphalt roads either. Not to mention the laying of cement.

When it's not raining, the official road is fairly flat.

However, when it rains, the road immediately becomes muddy, which makes it more difficult to walk.

It's okay to hike, but if there are cars and horses, it will increase the danger of many things. This also makes the team afraid to go too fast, lest the horse stumble or overturn.

"It seems. You can't get to Luoyang before dark. ”

Di Guangyuan didn't expect to encounter such a heavy rain, and couldn't help but look a little impatient.

Xue Chuyu glanced at him, and suddenly understood why Di Renjie kept Di Guangyuan by his side, but sent Di Guangsi and Di Guangzhao brothers out to do things. Di Guangyuan was too breathless! It was just a rain that changed his plans, and he was so impatient, and even more colorful. If this goes to officialdom, it will definitely be crushed into slag.

For officials, Mount Tai is overwhelming, not colorful, this is the basic requirement.

From this point of view. Di Renjie knows his son very well. Don't let Di Guangyuan go out, just be a loose official and keep him by his side. To a certain extent, it is also Di Renjie's greatest protection of Di Guangyuan.

"Erlang, don't worry, this kind of weather change can't be reversed by manpower."

Xue Chuyu whispered comfort beside Di Guangyuan, "You are sent by the elders, not only on behalf of the imperial court, but also on behalf of the elders." If you are so anxious, it will make the children become anxious too. It's better to calm down and think about countermeasures. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Yang Shouwen.

Di Guangyuan immediately understood what Xue Chuyu meant: Don't let that Yang Qingzhi underestimate you!

Yang Shouwen was wearing a poncho and looked very calm.

He followed the carriage and walked slowly, laughing with Ab Sijida from time to time, or chatting and laughing with Yang through the curtain.

Not only is Yang Shouwen calm, but even Yang Jasmine, who is driving the car, looks very calm.

While driving the car, he took out all kinds of small snacks from the leather pocket on his body, and his mouth kept chirping.

Di Guangyuan suddenly showed a look of shame, and hurriedly took a deep breath to calm himself down.

I have followed my father for many years, but I have never been able to practice my father's Taishan Qi cultivation kung fu. Just looking at Yang Shouwen's family, it made him feel embarrassed. A kid who is only twenty years old can have such qi cultivation kung fu, and he is over forty years old, but he is not as good as Yang Shouwen, how can he not feel a little ashamed?

"What Yulangjun said is very true, but I'm a little anxious."

Di Guangyuan thought about it, then urged him to step forward and came to Yang Shouwen's side.

"Qingzhi, looking at this weather, I'm afraid we won't be able to enter the Divine Capital today.

It's better to stay at Xiangshan Temple tonight, what do you think? Early tomorrow morning, let's go directly to the Divine Capital. ”

Xiangshan Temple?

Yang Shouwen thought for a while, nodded and smiled: "Di Gong doesn't have to ask my opinion, just call the shots."

By the way, I heard that Xiangshan Temple is not too far from the Longmen Grottoes, and I don't know if there is a chance to enjoy the scenery of Longmen. ”

The Longmen Grottoes are also a pain in Yang Shouwen's heart.

In the era in which he lived, the Longmen Grottoes were almost completely destroyed, and only one name remained.

Di Guangyuan said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's too late this time, at this speed, we can reach Xiangshan Temple before the end of the day." In this kind of weather, I'm afraid Qingzhi can't see any scenery. It's better to wait for you to settle down in Luoyang before going to Longmen. At this time, it is also the most beautiful Chenguang of Longmen. ”

Yang Shouwen nodded, and then made no more requests.

Yes, there is a lot of time after arriving in Luoyang, so why rush for a while?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Di Guangyuan sent a ranger and rushed to Xiangshan Temple to prepare.

So many people came to Xiangshan Temple at once, even if the Xiangshan Temple had been rested by Wu Zetian and the scale had expanded a lot, I am afraid that it would be a little troublesome. If you don't tell the temple in advance, you won't even be able to prepare the house.

When he had made the arrangements, he urged the horses to speed up.

It's just that this muddy official road is really not fast. Although the rain has become lighter, the drizzling rain is even more annoying. After walking for long, two more horses stepped into the mud puddle and broke their phalanges.

In desperation, Di Guangyuan ordered again and ordered the cavalry to dismount and walk.

It was not until he left the Yanshi Realm that the situation began to improve, and the road became clear.

But if you look at the time, it's almost unitary time.

Xiangshan Temple, located in the west col of Xiangshan, twenty miles south of Luoyang City, faces the Longmen Grottoes across the river.

Xiangshan is named because of the abundance of fragrant kudzu, and Xiangshan Temple is a very representative landmark building on this fragrant mountain......

It was founded in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Hanging arch for three years, Tianzhu monk Di Bhara buried here, in order to place its golden body, so the Buddhist temple was rebuilt.

In the first year of Tianzhu, Wu Zetian was proclaimed emperor in Luoyang.

Liang Wangwu Sansi asked for the name 'Xiangshan Temple', and rebuilt and expanded.

Later, Wu Zetian once traveled to the mountains and held the Longmen Poetry Meeting in the Xiangshan Temple, leaving a good story of the Xiangshan Poetry Ceremony winning the brocade robe, which made the Longmen Poetry Club a major event that can be compared with the Chang'an Qujiang Poetry Society.

When Yang Shouwen arrived at Xiangshan Temple, it was almost time.

The abbot of Xiangshan Temple took the monks in the temple to greet him at the mountain gate, and when he saw Yang Shouwen get off the horse, he couldn't help but be stunned, and a faint smile appeared on his slightly thin face, and he shouted loudly: "Yang family man, do you remember the old man of Changping?"
