331 Strange appearance of Luo Zhenren Shui Man Jinshan playing soy sauce
As mentioned last time, Liang Wenzhen led his men to Yanggu County to have a drinking meeting with Wei Ning, Chen Tian, Xu Jin and others. During the banquet, talking about the plan to mine gems in the south, Xu Jin was worried about the risks and was quite reluctant. Liang Wenzhen's analysis is a profitable business, and it is worth taking a little risk. When they heard that they were going to Guangzhou and had to go west, they realized that the journey was too far away and they were reluctant to leave their hometowns. Liang Wenzhen used the fact that Su Dongpo was relegated to Lingnan to have lychees to eat, and Yang Guifei exhausted countless horses in order to eat lychees, to lure everyone to strengthen their belief in going to Lingnan. Some people are worried that Lingnan is a miasma and are afraid of death, Liang Wenzhen told the company that there is a special drug, and everyone is still beating the drum in their hearts. In the end, Liang Wenzhen had to tell everyone that Tokyo would definitely fall in six or seven years, and the common people would be miserable, and if they went to Lingnan first to settle a place of refuge, they would be prepared. Everyone finally decided to follow because Liang Wenzhen had the ability to predict the future. Emperor Daojun learned that Liang Wenzhen went to find the gem, sent Lin Feng as a secret agent, and waited for Liang Wenzhen and others to succeed and occupy it. also blamed Liu Guifei for being good friends with Liang Wenzhen, Liu Guifei in order to protect herself and seize the moral high ground, she retorted that the emperor should put the world first and be a holy king.
The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal goes east from Kaifeng, turns around and goes south to Jeju, Shandong, all the way to Hangzhou. Liang Wenzhen's team, in addition to more than 20 ships loaded with various materials, and more than 70 ships loaded with people, were connected end to end, and they were heading south. Along the way, I met many merchant cargo ships, carrying salt, grain, porcelain and other things, and some were Huashigang ships from various state capitals. Seeing Liang Wenzhen's fleet, the capital is a government fleet, because the team of ordinary civil gangs rarely has such a scale.
More than 100 ships have more than 2,000 people, including hundreds of hired boatmen, and the cost of food and drink is a large expense. Cai Yan, who was in charge of finance, was frightened when he saw that there was only expenditure and no income, but Liang Wenzhen did not care, and when he was resting on the shore, he sent Xu Fan and Zhao Min to bring some people ashore to hunt some game to improve their food. The fleet passed through Tengzhou, Xuzhou, Huaiyin, Huai'an, and Yangzhou, but after a dozen days, the shipwright at the head reported to Liang Wenzhen that it was about to reach Zhenjiang. Take the canal waterway to turn into the Yangtze River and go upriver to Poyang Lake at the mouth of Jiangzhou Lake. Jiangzhou is today's Jiujiang, and the Yangtze River is today's Yangtze River.
"There is Zhenjiang in front, and we can immediately turn into the Yangtze River waterway, so why don't we rest here for a day or two?" Liang Wenzhen asked everyone for advice. Yang Xun, Jiang Zhao, Xu Fan, Zhao Min, Niu Ren, Cai Yan, etc., were also on the big boat where Liang Wenzhen and Xu Miaoyin, Li Shishi, Hu Sanniang, and several female dependents were on. This big ship is one zhang wide and four or five zhang long, and can accommodate hundreds of people.
"I haven't been ashore for several days, it's so hard to get bored, go up to find a hotel, and have a good drink!" Yang Xun said. "Good!" "Wonderful!" Jiang Zhao, Niuren, Xu Fan and others applauded. "It's good to go ashore to play, but Zhenjiang is a place, I'm afraid there is nothing to see." Xu Miaoyin said. "Jinshan Temple and Jiaoshan Temple in Zhenjiang are very famous places, don't you regret not to see it after passing here?!" Liang Wenzhen said. "Mr. Liang is well-informed, and he is so familiar with the famous places in Zhenjiang, but if he wants to say that it is famous, I have never heard of Jinshan Temple Jiaoshan Temple." Cai Yan said.
"What Brother Yan said is not bad, I have heard the name of Zhenjiang, but no one talks about Jinshan Jiaoshan, it seems that it is not as famous as Liang Lang said." Master Li said. "Exactly, I haven't heard of it." Xu Miaoyin said. "It's strange, I haven't heard of Jinshan Temple, could it be that the story of Jinshan is full of water, you don't know it?" Liang Wenzhen asked suspiciously.
"Water flooding the golden mountain? But what is the story? Xu Fan and Zhao Min looked puzzled. Mr. Liang is from overseas, and he knows the story of Zhenjiang, but we don't know it, it's strange. "Cai Yan has read a lot and has a wide range of knowledge, so I can't help but be surprised." In this way, you don't know the story of the White Lady and Xu Xian? Liang Wenzhen looked at the expressions on each face and asked in surprise.
Yang Xun, Jiang Zhao and the others shook their heads, Bai Yujiao, Hua Sumei, Chen Qiuyue, and Xu Xixi also looked curious, not knowing what Liang Wenzhen was talking about. "Hangzhou, oh, there is a Leifeng Pagoda in Bianliang, which you generally call it, should you know?" Liang Wenzhen asked. "It's not strange that there is a pagoda, there is no place where it is, but the one called Leifeng Pagoda has really never heard of it." Yang Xun said. Xu Fan, Zhao Min and the others all nodded, and they all secretly said that the question asked by Mr. Liang was so strange.
"The story of the White Lady and Xu Xian must be a couple of young men and women who committed suicide." Bai Yujiao said. "Exactly, but it's not a martyrdom suicide, but a white lady, she is actually a snake spirit, in order to save the lover Xu Xian who was trapped in Jinshan Temple, she used mana to flood Jinshan." Liang Wenzhen said. "It sounds very interesting, Liang Lang told me the whole story to hear it." Hua Sumei was full of fun and pleaded. "It turns out that you are really lonely and unheard, and you have not even heard of this most famous myth and legend in China, the most beautiful love story." Liang Wenzhen was even more strange at this time, so he told the story of the White Lady.
Yang Xun, Jiang Zhaoniuren and other big bosses couldn't help but be fascinated and deeply attracted when they heard such a poignant love story. Bai Yujiao, Hua Sumei, Chen Qiuyue and others were nervous when they heard the critical point, and were moved by the white lady's bravery in pursuing love. Hu Sanniang held her chin with her hand, listened attentively, and regarded herself as a white lady, looking at Liang Wenzhen with affectionate eyes, but she regarded Liang Wenzhen as Xu Xian. Master Li Xu Miaoyin has seen a lot, and when she heard the twists and turns of the romantic story development, she was thoughtful.
"The water flooded Jinshan and drowned many people, but it turned out to be in Zhenjiang." Hua Sumei waited for Liang Wenzhen to finish the story and sighed. "Host, Zhenjiang Wharf has arrived, you can go ashore to play. The proprietor, when he will come back and board the ship, must set a time, so that it can be passed on. The boatman came in and shouted. It was reported that all the boats were to return to the ship in the evening, spend the night on the ship, and depart tomorrow at noon. Liang Wenzhen said. The boatman obeyed his promise.
"Let's go, sisters, let's go to Jinshan Temple and have a look." Bai Yujiao was the most anxious, and greeted Master Li, Xu Miaoyin and others. Liang Wenzhen asked Xuan Dao Chang if he went ashore, and when he saw that Xuan Dao Chang was not interested, he took everyone into Zhenjiang to play. Zhenjiang is not a small place, and the waterways are unblocked, so businessmen gather. The shops on the street are lined up one after another, the wine flags are displayed, and the tourists are weaving. Goulan tile house, the house is like a pavilion, the pavilion is simple, and the Tokyo is the same.
Bai Yujiao, Hua Sumei and others saw the vendors selling novelties, and they couldn't help but stop and watch. Li Shishi Xu Miaoyin commented on the scenery and people of Zhenjiang. Liang Wenzhen, Jiang Zhao, Xu Fan, Zhao Min and others, when they saw snacks, they all bought a pack and prepared to take them to the boat to enjoy.
Slowly walked to a towering ancient tree, saw many children playing nearby, a few were gambling on shells, Xu Fan Zhao Min watched with great interest, Liang Wenzhen leaned to a child, looked at the windmill in his hand, very curious about the people at that time, handmade skills are as good as Xu Jing. "Brother Liang, don't come unharmed!" A deep old man's voice came, Liang Wenzhen was startled, got up and looked back.
"It turns out that you are Luo Zhenren?!" Liang Wenzhen saw clearly an old man holding a dusty brush in front of him, and exclaimed. "It's the poor road. Brother Liang, the sea of bitterness is boundless, and turning back is the shore. "Luo Zhenren." A real person is not a monk, and it is really strange to speak in a monk's tone. Yes, real people are here, could it be that they are here to subdue demons and eliminate demons? Liang Wenzhen asked with a smile. If there is a demon in the heart, it is a demon. Brother Liang still left here quickly. "Luo Zhen is humane.
"Hugh is to be in charge of others. Luo Zhenren, your own apprentice, Gongsun Daochang, helped to abuse in Liangshan, mixed with thieves and bandits, and didn't take care of it. "Liang Wenzhen thought that he had been trapped by this bull-nosed old way for half a year, and he was angry in his heart, and he was not polite when he spoke." Yo, isn't this Luo Zhenren? Xu Fan Zhao Min came over and asked in surprise when he saw the old way of talking to Liang Wenzhen. The lives are devastated, resigned to fate, and Brother Liang is good at doing it himself. Luo Zhenren glanced at Xu Fan and Zhao Min with a smile, and said goodbye.
"The world is so big, but I bumped into Luo Zhenren here." Xu Fan muttered. "What are you afraid of when you bump into him, if he fights with me, I won't be afraid of him." Liang Wenzhen said. "Master's kung fu is better than in the past, Luo Zhenren is only afraid that he is not an opponent." Zhao Mindao. "Call everyone and go to the hotel in front of us for dinner." Liang Wenzhen commanded.
The crowd entered a hotel and sat in two circles. Xiao Er greeted warmly, served tea, Liang Wen really ordered food, but saw that pedestrians outside the door ran in one direction. "What happened?" Liang Wenzhen asked. "The guest officer doesn't know. Zhenjiang's balsamic vinegar is the most famous, it is the first in the world in color, fragrance, acidity, mellow, and thick. But outsiders don't know that Zhenjiang's soy sauce is also very high-quality, with a unique sauce aroma and delicious taste. Today, several soy sauce workshops sell soy sauce on the street, which is very cheap, only one or two per barrel. "Xiao Erdao." Strangely, as far as I know, there is no soy sauce these days. Liang Wenzhen was surprised. Soy sauce was invented by the Japanese and introduced to China in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, when soy sauce could not have existed, which made Liang Wenzhen very strange. "Guest officials are rare and strange, our tempeh workshop in Zhenjiang is reluctant to pour it out because of the bad tempeh, and finds that the juice of the tempeh is very delicious, so it is called soy sauce. Since then, some tempeh workshops have changed their names to soy sauce workshops, **soy sauce. "Xiao Erdao.
"I see, I'll go to make a bucket in a while, and I will use it on the boat, and by the way, I will observe the grand occasion of selling soy sauce in Zhenjiang. Little second brother, just serve some specialty dishes and two or three wines. Liang Wenzhen instructed Xiao Erdao. The shopkeeper promised to buy it by himself.
"Brother Yan, let's go buy a bucket of soy sauce together, Brother Niu Brother Wei, you two are responsible for carrying it back. Let's go. After Liang Wenzhen finished speaking, he led the three of them out, and Xu Fan and Zhao Min also wanted to watch the excitement and follow out. Master Li, Xu Miaoyin, Hu Sanniang and others gathered together to drink tea and rest, laughing and playing.
Yang Xun, Jiang Zhao, Tang Chi, Chen Tian and others saw that Xiao Er had moved wine, and without waiting for Liang Wenzhen to come back, they poured wine and drank it themselves. After a while, Liang Wenzhen and the others came in from outside with excited faces. "It's really a good soy sauce, don't believe it, try it!" Niu Ren shouted. Niu Ren and Wei Ning brought in a large wooden barrel and carefully placed it on the table. "It's a little less to buy a bucket, and I like all the soy sauce rice. Drink for the sake of drinking, eat for the sake of eating. Liang Wenzhen saw that a few dishes had been served, and called. Yujiao, don't come over to eat yet. Hua Sumei called. Liang Wenzhen turned his head to look, and it turned out that Bai Yujiao was sitting at a table by the window, gossiping with a lady she didn't know.
"Yujiao knows that lady?" Liang Wenzhen asked suspiciously. The lady in plain clothes sitting opposite Bai Yujiao was dignified and beautiful, very beautiful, and her gestures had a beautiful bearing. is that Master Li is compared to her, but I am afraid that it is difficult to distinguish between them. Yujiao went over to ask her how to get Jinshan, and the two of them chatted. Hua Su Mei Road. "You use it first, I meet a member of my family, and I will go over after a few words." Bai Yujiao turned around and said.
"Yujiao's family, that lady is also surnamed Bai?" Liang Wenzhen picked up the bowl and asked. "When Liang Lang saw the beautiful vixen, did he become interested?" Xu Miaoyin glared at Liang Wenzhen and said angrily. "Brother Liang talked about the story of the White Lady on the boat, and I met one here, but unfortunately Brother Liang is not Xu Xian." Xu Fan quipped. "There are countless people with the surname Bai in the world, and there are also many people with the surname Xu, could it be that Brother Fan or Xu Xian?!" Master Li said with a smile.
"Not kidding, none of you have ever heard the story of the White Lady, so the story hasn't happened yet?" Liang Wenzhen held the bowl in his left hand and chopsticks in his right hand, but he didn't eat for a long time, his mouth spoke, but his eyes looked at the white lady. "Eat your meal! It's like losing your soul. Xu Miaoyin glared at Liang Wenzhen again. I'll have to ask. Liang Wenzhen put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and left the table, and walked towards Bai Yujiao's table. Liang Lang, don't be so shameless! Xu Miaoyin said angrily. Liang Wenzhen didn't seem to hear it, and walked away.
"This lady, dare to ask, but her surname is Bai?" Liang Wenzhen sat on Bai Yujiao's side and asked. "This is my family official, surnamed Liang, who arrived in Zhenjiang today." Bai Yujiao introduced to the lady opposite. "Oh, the slave family does have the surname Bai, what's wrong?" The White Lady asked suspiciously. Seeing a young man looking straight at herself, the white lady seemed to be displeased.
"If it's really a white lady, then may I ask, your hometown is in Qingcheng Mountain?" Liang Wenzhen continued to ask. Don't care about being rude, Liang Wenzhen's eyes looked at this lady carefully, and saw that her jade skin was as smooth as clotted fat, her facial features were delicate signs, and her face seemed to be able to pinch out water, I am afraid that the most powerful painter would be difficult to describe. "You rude man is so strange, the slave family is indeed in Qingcheng Mountain, but what does it have to do with you?!" The white lady's face flushed and said angrily.
"Don't be angry, I want to ask for clarification. White lady, then your father-in-law, but his name is Xu Xian? Liang Wenzhen asked again. This Liang official, don't you know Xu Xian, the minister of the slave family? The White Lady asked in surprise. You, you, you're the White Snake? Want to flood the mountains of gold? Liang Wenzhen was trembling at this time, and his teeth chattered. Who are you? But Fahai's disciple? The white lady got up suddenly, and suddenly there was an extra sword in her hand, pointing at Liang Wenzhen.
"No, it's not, we're passing by to get soy sauce, you see, there's a big barrel of soy sauce over there." Liang Wenzhen was terrified. "If it's irrelevant, get out of here, go as far as you want!" The white lady scolded coquettishly. "Thank you, gods." After Liang Wenzhen was shocked, he turned around and shouted, "Go, everyone, go quickly!" Liang Wenzhen was heartbroken, and ran out of the door in a panic, waving his hand to signal everyone to follow. Wine money, my wine money! The shopkeeper shouted from behind.
No one will believe it, and myths and stories will be real. In fact, most of the ancient legends were actually happening, but later generations turned them into myths through false rumors. For example, Nuwa is a real person, because of the continuous heavy rain for 40 days (described in the Bible), like a leak in the sky, she said that she wanted to make up for the sky, and then the rain stopped, and people said that Nuwa successfully mended the sky.
Liang Wenzhen and others ran into a mountain of water, fled in the wilderness, and almost drowned on the river. Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
