Chapter 378: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake (3)
It is a medium-sized painting boat with a height of two floors and can accommodate dozens of people.
When Yang Shouwen and the others arrived at the shore of Taihu Lake, the painting boat was already quietly moored on the shore. The group boarded the painting boat, and with Di Guangyuan's order, the boatman supported the pole, and the painting boat slowly sailed away from the shore and headed for the lake.
The light rain for several days did not dissipate the heat of the late summer.
However, standing on the boat and walking in the lake, the wind blowing in front of you is a little cool, which makes people feel very comfortable.
Di Guangyuan accompanied Gao Jian and Zhou Lizhen at the bow of the boat, pointing out the scenery along the way, and laughing heartily from time to time.
Pei Guangting and Yang Shouwen were at the stern of the boat, and the two didn't talk much, just stood there quietly, immersed in the lake and mountains.
"Levy Lang."
"Huh?"
Pei Guangting suddenly opened his mouth, he seemed to hesitate, and after a long pause, he continued: "This time, we are ordered to go south, and we should work together. But now, everyone seems to have their own thoughts, which makes me a little worried. ”
Yang Shouwen was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and glanced at Pei Guangting in surprise.
"What do you mean by Liancheng?"
"You see, as soon as San Lang went to Wu County, there was no news.
Although Gao She and Zhou Sizhi seem to be very harmonious, they are actually wary of each other. You're even more out of the way now, and you don't care about the treasure hunt at all...... If this continues, how can the will of the saints be accomplished? ”
Mingxiu has long said that most of their people have their own purposes.
Yang Shouwen couldn't help but laugh when he heard Pei Guangting say this, "Then according to what Liancheng said, what should I do?" ”
"You don't seem to care. But I know. You're delicate. It is said that the last resort is the wisdom bead in hand. In that case, why not explain it to everyone? Maybe there is some misunderstanding between everyone and you, but in this situation, please give up your prejudices and work together with everyone to find the treasure as soon as possible, and we can also return to God as soon as possible, right? ”
Pei Guangting's voice was not loud, but his words seemed extremely sincere.
Yang Shouwen looked at him. After a while, he said softly: "Is this what Gao Sheren means?" ”
Pei Guangting hesitated, then nodded lightly.
Seeing this, Yang Shouwen couldn't help laughing.
Presumably Gao Jian was also a little anxious, he had been in Changzhou for a week, but he had gained nothing, so he asked Pei Guangting to pass the word.
To be honest, Yang Shouwen had no ill will towards Gao Jian.
But from the very beginning, everyone's position was different, and they were always secretly wary of each other.
Gao Jian is the person of Princess Taiping, and at the same time he is a member of the East Palace. The identity is very strange; And what about Yang Shouwen? To put it bluntly, he should be on Wu Zetian's side. After all. has the relationship with his father, and his identity as a 'martial party' is not easy to get rid of. It's normal for everyone to have different positions and guard against each other. Now, you Gao Jian have no clue and want me to cooperate with you. But what kind of help can you give me? Yang Shouwen's heart was sunburning.
He didn't pick up Pei Guangting's words, but only stood stern with his hands in his hands.
Seeing that Yang Shouwen didn't speak, Pei Guangting laughed and closed his mouth......
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The painting boat sailed from the shore for an hour, and Gao Jian and Zhou Lizhen probably felt tired, so they returned to the painting boat.
Yang Shouwen came to the bow from the stern of the boat, sat on the deck, leaned on the side of the ship, and enjoyed the scenery in front of him.
At this time, a boatman came over and said softly: "Childe, there is Baoshan in front." ”
Yang Shouwen was originally lazy and lazy, but when he heard the boatman's words, he immediately stood up and raised his eyes to look ahead.
An island in the middle of a lake appeared in front of him.
It was an island with a circumference of about ten miles and an oval shape. More than half of the island is inhabited by mountains, which are known as 'bun mountains' for the local population.
It is said that Baoshan Island is also named after the mountain in this island.
The mountain, with its undulating peaks and mountains, is lush.
At the foot of the mountain is a fishing village, but at this time, the fishermen in the village should have left the island to fish, so it looks deserted.
Faintly, you can see that there is a tower on the top of the mountain, which should be the Spirit Pagoda.
"Go around the island and don't get too close."
"Yes."
The painting boat was found by Di Guangyuan, and the boatmen were naturally Di Guangyuan's people.
At a distance of about a few tens of meters from the island, the boat no longer approaches the island, but surrounds it.
At this time, Di Guangyuan walked out of the painting boat.
He stood beside Yang Shouwen and said softly: "Lingbao Temple is halfway up the mountain, and almost half of Baoshan Island is an industry under the name of Lingbao Temple. There are about 300 people in the fishing village on the island, who mainly make a living by fishing and hunting in the lake. ”
It can be seen that Di Guangyuan has done a little understanding of Baoshan Island.
Yang Shouwen nodded, and after the painting boat circled around the island, he signaled to leave Baoshan Island.
He turned his head to look at Gao Jian and Zhou Lizhen in the painting boat, and said in a low voice: "This island is well-developed in all directions, I just observed that there are at least six or seven places on the island where you can board a boat. This is only a cursory observation, and it is estimated that there are some hidden hideouts that we have not found. If you take action, it will be very troublesome. ”
"Oh?"
Di Guangyuan was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "What's the trouble, we just need to climb the Baoshan Mountain and rush directly into the Lingbao Temple." ”
"I took a look, and the only place that could be used for the landing of the brigade was the fishing village.
However, since those fishermen rely on Lingbao Temple to make a living, how can they not go to report the news? As long as we land from the front, Lingbao Temple can get the news. At that point, Shenhui will definitely go into hiding or flee the island.
If we mobilize soldiers and horses to surround Baoshan, we are afraid that the soldiers and horses have not yet entered the lake, then Shenhui will get the news and escape. ”
As he spoke, Yang Shouwen pointed to Baoshan with his finger, "There are many escape routes on this Baoshan Mountain, and if you want to completely block it, no one or two thousand soldiers and horses will not want to work." But you also know that with so many soldiers and horses, how can you not startle the snake? ”
Di Guangyuan frowned slightly, falling into deep thought.
What Yang Shouwen said is very reasonable, such a big mountain. At that time, Shenhui was really hidden in the mountains. I'm afraid it's hard to find.
That's a lot of manpower. There are so many that Di Guangyuan must report to Cui Xuanwei.
In short, no matter which means are used, Shenhui will get the news and may flee early.
Don't underestimate this monk, there must be a group of people behind him, a group of people with a lot of energy. Even if he knows where he is hiding now, it doesn't matter if it's Yang Shouwen or Di Guangyuan. They don't dare to act rashly......
No one dares to guarantee that once Shenhui escapes this time, will he be able to find it again?
Thinking of this, Di Guangyuan couldn't help but look at Yang Shouwen.
I saw Yang Shouwen holding the side of the boat, looking at the Baoshan that was getting farther and farther away, as if he was thinking about something.
"Aoyuki, do you have an idea?"
Yang Shouwen was about to answer, when he suddenly heard Gao Jian's voice from the painting boat: "Erlang, come on, what's over there?" ”
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The place where Gao Jian asked was a well-known scenery in Taihu Lake. It is called Shigong Mountain.
It is named after a huge stone in front of the mountain that looks like an old man, and it is said that it is on the evening of the 13th day of the ninth lunar month. You can see the spectacle of the sun and moon illuminating each other.
Di Guangyuan naturally didn't want to continue to accompany Yang Shouwen, so he turned back into the painting boat.
And Yang Shouwen breathed a sigh of relief, if Di Guangyuan asked again, he didn't know how to answer.
In this way, the people spent most of the day boating on the lake, and returned to the shore before sunset.
Gao Jian and the others were satisfied, and seemed to have become much more relaxed.
When they returned to the county office, they seemed to have no fun, so they put on a wine banquet and enjoyed flowers and drank in the garden of the county government.
Pei Guangting invited Yang Shouwen to go, but Yang Shouwen refused on the excuse of exhaustion.
In this regard, Pei Guangting did not force it, so he had to say a few words of pity, and then left.
After Pei Guangting left, Yang Shouwen found Yang Chou'er and asked him about his trip to the Eight Immortals Inn today.
Everything is normal at the Eight Immortals Inn, and nothing special has happened.
However, Yang Chouer got some news from Hu Mazi and Sister-in-law Ma, which attracted Yang Shouwen's attention......
"A few days ago, there was often a person who came to look for Li Cripple.
The man was not tall, short and stocky, and always liked to wear a hat, so he couldn't see his appearance clearly. However, Hu Mazi once heard the conversation between the man and Li Cripple by chance, and the two seemed to mention something about Dongting Township, Zuo Youxian and the like. It's just that Hu Mazi was discovered by Li Cripple, and there was even a quarrel.
Hu Mazi said that the person looking for Li Cripple had a local accent, but it sounded a little weird and indescribable. ”
Zuo Youxian?
When Yang Shouwen heard this name, he was taken aback.
After coming to Changzhou, whether it was Gao Jian or him, they had secretly inquired about Zuo Youxian, but no one in Changzhou knew about it.
Even, among their group, except for Yang Shouwen and a few others, there are not many people who know the name Zuo Youxian. At least, Yang Shouwen hadn't mentioned it in front of Yang Chou'er, so it was impossible for him to tell a lie.
Zuo Youxian finally heard the name related to the treasure of Huangtai.
Yang Shouwen asked Yang Chou'er carefully, but it could be seen that Hu Mazi really didn't know much.
However, with this news, it is enough to show that Zuo Youxian does exist.
Let Yang Chouer step back, sit on the couch, pick up Wang Yuankai's "Wuzhong Miscellaneous", and subconsciously look at it. Suddenly, his gaze froze, put the book on the couch table, and read softly: In the past, there were three concubine Wu sisters, each living in a peak, and they were very supernatural. The mountain people set up a shrine to worship it, and the number is Dongting Township...... Jin called the three mountains Penglai. Wang Jia wrote "Collecting Memories": There are three mountains in the sea, and their shape is like a pot!
Dongting Township, is this Dongting Township?
Yang Shouwen hurriedly turned the page forward, and saw the words 'Sanmen Mountain' written in front of him.
This is a record of Sanmen Mountain in Taihu Lake, Yang Shouwen frowned, pondered for a long time, looked at it carefully several times, and found clues again.
The engraving of the entire Wuzhong miscellaneous book is basically the same font.
Only about the record of the paragraph of 'Sanmen Mountain', Yang Shouwen found that the font was a little different, and it seemed that the font was deliberately bolded.
His eyes flashed, and Yang Shouwen seemed to be thoughtful.
He pondered for a moment, got up and was about to walk out of the room, but he heard a knock on the door, and Yang Chou'er said outside the door: "Ah Lang, Mr. Lu is back!" (To be continued.) )
