Soon after entering the territory of Shandong, a big lake appeared in front, the clear water was even in the sky, the smoke and waves were vast, and the unique scenery was pleasing to the eye and the mood was invigorated. , Deng Zixuan stood on the deck and said with interest: "This is the lake in your hometown, you should be familiar with it!" Wan Chuan also said excitedly: "Of course I am familiar with it, this lake is called Weishan Lake." This is a treasure land of feng shui and the land of fish and rice! ”

Deng Zixuan said: "Do you know that Weishan Lake is the largest freshwater lake in the north. Its length from north to south is about 130 kilometers, about 40 kilometers from east to west, nearly 350 kilometers around the circle, and the water area is more than 2,000 square miles. Weishan Lake, also known as Nansi Lake, is a bright pearl in Shandong. Shuibo Liangshan is known as 800 miles, which is the plot described by Shi Nai'an in the book, in fact, the water system of Liangshan is nothing compared to it. ”

"Sir, have you been to Weishan Lake?" Wan Chuan asked curiously. Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "I've never been here, to put it mildly, my soul has probably come, so it feels no stranger in my subconscious." Wan Chuan couldn't pay attention to the deep meaning of Deng Zixuan's words, Deng Zixuan and his girlfriend used the summer vacation to visit Weishan Lake and conducted a detailed investigation. However, at that time, the water area of Weishan Lake was far worse than at this time.

At this time, an island appeared in front of the right, "Sir, that small island is called Weishan Island, and there is a fish village on the island." The people who live on the island make a living from fishing, and Brother Jintang and I used to hide on the island. Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "I have read in historical records that this island was originally connected to the land, and then the lake continued to increase, making it separate from the land. The island is 6 km long from east to west. It is 3 kilometers wide from north to south. ”

Deng Zixuan continued: "In fact, Weishan Island is often a small hill in the remaining veins on the west side of the Yimeng Mountains, and a famous merchant Weizi was buried on the top of this mountain in the last years of the Shang Dynasty, which was called Weizi Mountain by later generations. After the formation of Weishan Lake, Weishan Island, which was separated from the mainland, got its name. You and Brother Chen have taken refuge on the island, and there is a moving legend on Weishan Island to know? Wan Chuan shook his head and said, "We came to take refuge back then, so how could we be in the mood to care about these things." ”

Deng Zixuan instructed the captain of the guard to move closer to Weishan Island. On the previous topic, Deng Zixuan continued: "It is rumored that a long time ago, a golden phoenix fell on the main peak of the island. Since then, the island has had good weather and abundant crops. The island is rich in products and the sun rises to make money. One day, several outsiders who knew boxing landed on the island. If you want to rob the golden phoenix, the people on the island can't beat it. When the golden phoenix was put into the cage, the cage suddenly caught fire, and I saw the golden phoenix's golden wings flashing. Escape into the sky. ”

Wan Chuan was fascinated by this and couldn't help asking, "What happened?" Deng Zixuan continued: "The golden phoenix left a golden egg." and sank down the mountain, and several strongmen fled in fright. Soon, the sky rained a lot, and the water was like a beast, threatening to devour the island. The people of the island prayed in the rain, the golden phoenix appeared, and in the heavy rain, the golden egg that sank into the ground turned into a golden ship and a prodigy with a face and a fish. The prodigy sails the golden ship that dominates the ups and downs of the island with the size of the water. ”

"Since then. Weishan Island will rise and the island will never be harmed by water demons. In fact, this beautiful and moving legend. It's just a way for the ancestors to comfort the hearts of those who are afraid of the sinking of the island. I am a materialist, and from a scientific point of view, this legend has helped people to recognize a self-confessed scientific truth, and it has laid the theoretical foundation that Weishan Island was formed by the multiple falls of high mountains. ”

When it comes to esoteric theories, Wan Chuan can't understand them at all. Deng Zixuan came and continued to talk with interest: "Weishan Island was originally a mountain, not an island. Between 800 million and 600 million years ago, the North China and Yangtze massifs that formed Chinese mainland collided many times, creating large and small mountain ranges, and Weishan Island was among them. At that time, the mountains were stacked on top of each other, and the peaks were towering. However, as the earth's crust rose and fell, the walls of these dangerous peaks at the junction of the two major massifs gradually subsided, and then a great spectacle was formed - 99 cone-shaped peaks. ”

"The vicissitudes of life, thousands of years, in a flick of a finger. The ninety-nine peaks that resemble the great husband are left to be modified by nature and carved by history. From the 5th year of Song Shaoxi (1194 AD) to the end of the Ming Dynasty for more than 400 years, the Yellow River repeatedly broke and flooded southward, and encroached on the Sihe River from the Huai into the sea, so that the Sihe River was not smooth to vent, silted up and stagnant, and made the 99 peaks into lakes and marshes. Ninety-nine peaks have been lifted and weathered many times to form small peaks like continental hills, and Weishan Island is named after them. ”

Deng Zixuan was a little excited, and seemed to be silent in a certain atmosphere. Wan Chuan seemed to be listening to this esoteric geological discipline, so he had to listen to it. It happened that the wharf of Weishan Island arrived, and the two gunboats did not dock and anchored outside the wharf, and the small passenger ship docked at the wharf. There was a fishing boat on the wharf, an old man and a young man on board, who were preparing to unload their cargo on the shore, and there were several baskets of caught fish in the boat.

When the old and young fishermen saw two warships and a steamer docking, they stopped their work in surprise, and their faces showed a worried expression. Deng Zixuan's eyes were aimed at the lively fish in the basket on the boat, and he held back the squirming in his abdomen and said, "Don't be afraid, old man, we are passing by here and going to the island to have a look." May I ask the old man, do you sell the fish you catch? ”

The old man who fished was a lot more stable and said: "The official is a guest from afar, how can you buy words if you want to eat fish, these baskets of fish are not worth a few dollars, you can take them and eat them!" The old man and the posterior Mali went ashore and clasped their fists with both hands and said, "Official, I left the fish, please smile!" After saying that, the old man and the young man went straight away. Wan Chuan said: "The folk customs of Weishan Island have always been simple and hospitable, if we don't laugh, it is disrespectful to others." Deng Zixuan said: "In this way, you hide the 5 quick silver dollars under the plank, and they will naturally know what is going on when they find out in the future." ”

Deng Zixuan glanced at the sun and said, "It's almost noon, let's finish our meal and then go to the island for a tour." The carp in Weishan Lake is very famous, not inferior to the carp of the Yellow River, and we will have a delicious fish feast at noon today. "The captain of the guard informed the officers and men of the gunboat to come and get the fish, and the officers and men of the gunboat opened fire themselves. After Lian'er and her mother got on the boat, they opened the small stove for Deng Zixuan, because Lian'er's mother's food was very good.

After a while, two large carp made haode were brought to the table, and a large pot of fish soup came up. The two little guys also ate with them, and the fragrant rice was served with delicious fish and fish soup, and the little guy was not humble and shook off his little cheeks. The two little ones are already familiar with everyone, and they have become naughty in front of the new mother. "Is the fish delicious?" Deng Zixuan teased the two little guys. "It's delicious, uncle, I want to eat fish every day!" The little boy has to inch in, and the little girl is a little reserved.

"How to talk to uncle, there are no rules!" Lian'er and her mother reprimanded her angrily. "It's okay for sisters-in-law, they are still children, and it is the time to grow their bodies, and nutrition must keep up. Uncle promises you to eat fish every day! The little boy triumphed. Deng Zixuan hurried to eat and left, lest they couldn't let go, every time they ate, it was like this, which made Deng Zixuan very helpless.

After eating, Deng Zixuan and Wan Chuan landed on the shore, and the captain of the guard led more than a dozen guards to follow ashore. Deng Zixuan may still be strong in front of Yaxing, and opened the conversation box again: "You see, the most eye-catching thing at the western end of the island is the 'Three Sages Tomb' on the mountain peak, do you know that these three ancient tombs are three difficult mysteries. "I know the tomb of the three sages, how is it a difficult mystery to solve?" Wan Chuan came to be interested.

Deng Zixuan thought clearly and said: "First, the Weizi Tomb at the highest point on the island is still commonly known as the Phoenix Terrace because the golden phoenix has been dropped. Weizi is the cousin of the king of Shang, and he was originally sealed in Weidi, which is the northwest region of Liangshan, so it is called Weizi. After Zhou Gongdan pacified the rebellion of Wu Geng, the son of the king of Zhou, he sealed Weizi in the Song Dynasty, which is today's Shangqiu, Henan, to succeed Empress Yin. Shangqiu is more than 400 miles away from Weishan Island, the two places are separated by mountains and rivers, and the transportation is inconvenient. ”

"Second, about two kilometers away from the Weizi Tomb, it is located in the Muyi Tomb on the east peak of Weishan Island. Mu Yi, the word Ziyu, the seventeenth grandson of Weizi, the cousin of Song Xianggong, one of the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period, was a famous military strategist in ancient times, and his strategic thinking can be glimpsed from the well-known "Ziyu Polemic". The year of his death, place of death, and place of burial are rarely recorded in the history books. Mu Yi, who is accustomed to galloping on the battlefield and military life, was buried in the paradise of Weishan Island after his death, which cannot but be said to be another mystery? ”

Third, the tomb of Zhang Liang, located 1 km south of the Weizi Tomb, is the largest of the three tombs. In front of the tomb, there is a stone tablet erected in the second year of Qianlong, and the book is 'the tomb of Zhang Liang, Marquis of Hanliu'. The original translucent stele and pine hugging acacia in front of the tomb are the two wonders of Weishan Island. It is rumored that Zhang Liang built one hundred and eight tombs at night in order to prevent tomb robbery and destruction of corpses, in fact, there are many tombs of Zhang Liang. Whether Zhang Liang was really buried here is still an unsolved mystery. ”

"Sir, it's really a car to learn five buckets, talk about the past and the present, and be chic and free, and my subordinates have once again learned it." Wan Chuan sincerely admired. Deng Zixuan smiled and strode towards the mountain. Ascending the Phoenix Terrace, looking around, the distant mountains and rivers are in full view, and you can see the ever-changing charming scenery from time to time, Deng Zixuan can't help but feel pride again??????。

The small passenger ferry left Weishan Lake and continued north, crossed the Yellow River and went straight to Tianjin. Deng Zixuan did not stop in Tianjin, and continued to trek along the ancient river, and the capital was in sight. (To be continued......)
