The reason why Taiping Town is called Taiping Town has to start from Taiping Town.

This treasure, the adults and children of Taiping Town know, in fact, it is a huge copper coffin, it is located in the southeast of the town in the Qinglian Pond of this copper coffin, so that Taiping Town has been peaceful for countless years, few unstable things happen, of course, Taiping Town is not peaceful, and then a series of strange things have happened one after another, the reputation of Taiping Town began to be outside, and no one dared to come to Taiping Town to make trouble.

Taiping Town has a very old book, called "Qin Warriors", this book can be traced back to the heyday of the Qin State, Qin Taiping Town was originally called Ningkang, belonging to the township level, and later Qin extinguished, Taiping Town fell to the land of three no care, and then was taken over by the Jin State, but it was only symbolically sent a magistrate, after the death of the magistrate, there was a local landlord to manage, and the Jin State was too lazy to take care of it, after all, Taiping Town was too barren, there was no oil and water to fish, and the local taxes were pitiful, to the point of dispensability.

So far, many families in Taiping Town still retain some of the styles of the Qin period, and the townspeople are fierce, but they are also simple.

"Qin Warriors" records, Taiping Town geographical location is special, has been the Western Wilderness soldiers pressed the territory, however, when the Western Wilderness army marched to the vicinity of the Qinglian Pond, suddenly it was dark like a fight, even if holding a torch can not see the road clearly, at the same time, the hot summer around the eerie cold wind blows, causing many people and many war horses to panic, wanton escape, the result is not a large Qing Lotus Pond is enough to drown tens of thousands of people in the Western Wilderness army.

Tens of thousands of people is definitely not a small number, this is more serious than the loss of a frontal charge with the Qin army, so far, the Qing Lotus Pond has become a forbidden place for the world.

Later, after Qin was extinguished, some things happened one after another.

For example, there was a group of horse bandits who fled from the ancient town of Qinhuang, who wanted to loot some property in the town, but when they passed by the Qinglian Pond to drink horses, the one-eyed boss of the horse bandits spit water for no reason, according to the legend of later generations, the one-eyed boss spit out all the water of the Qinglian Pond, that is, he was torn alive by the lake and died of stomach pain.

For another example, the poor magistrate originally fell in love with a girl in the town, the girl was pleasant, and knowledgeable, and had studied private school for a few years in her early years, but the girl disliked that the magistrate was too old, and she had reached the age of calling grandpa, and there were many wives and concubines in the grandfather's house, and the girl thought that she would be wronged for no reason after passing through the door, so she resolutely disagreed, and her parents were unwilling to push their daughter into the fire pit.

No, it offended the magistrate's grandfather.

One night, the official grandfather took a vote of people to rob the marriage, and later when he raised his knife to cut people, he suddenly heard a burst of geese chirping from the direction of the Qinglian Pond, and the magistrate and the subordinates he brought all died in Taiping Town, all of them had holes in their heads, and they seemed to have been pecked open by some great bird.

The old charcoal seller said that it was already dark, and the road was slippery at night, so he had to find a place to shelter from the wind and cold on the side of the road, take out the brazier on the car to prepare for life, and simply burned a few charcoals.

The old man saw that the scholar was not good at talking, but he liked to drink a sip, and the liquor happened to drive away the cold, so he found an empty bowl and poured a bowl of home-brewed soju for the scholar.

Just now, the old man asked the scholar where he came from.

The scholar did not hide it, and said a Fengtian Dynasty.

The old man pouted and said: "That place is not good, the official university crushes people to death, the first level squeezes the first level, like your age just didn't catch up with the good time, although there has been no war in recent years, but the Fengtian Emperor is black, the black is darker than the moonless night, not to mention the heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the scientific examination system is not able to pick out a little yolk in the egg, buy * official sell * official not to mention for the time being, which dynasty and generation are inevitable, but the emphasis on literature and light on military force is a bit unbearable, and it deserves to be bullied by the Jin State." ”

The scholar smiled and didn't speak, he also understood these things, and he knew it deeply.

The old man seemed to be very interested because the scholar helped him push the cart, and after drinking some wine, he talked a lot, especially in this barren mountain and wilderness, and he had a talking companion who was also steady.

The old man smiled and said: "Child, if my husband says something that he doesn't like, this is about to be the time for the cold and the ground to freeze, why don't you go to the south where the four seasons are like spring, haven't you been frozen enough?"

The scholar rubbed his hands on the brazier, felt warm, and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, I am planning to move from the north to the south, and when it was almost cold, I just left the north." ”

The old man nodded knowingly.

The scholar thought for a moment and asked the old man a question, how much silver could this cart of charcoal sell.

The old man pinched his black fingers and counted, then made a six.

Xiao Jiansheng said with a smile: "Sixty taels, it will take you a month to go back and forth to the extreme north, and it will not be in vain for you to run this trip." ”

The old man put the dregs of the charcoal into the brazier, then squatted down and said, "Sixty taels is good, with these sixty taels of my old bones, I can stay at home and wait for death with peace of mind." ”

Xiao Jiansheng was surprised: "It's only six taels, and it's still freezing to the extreme north?"

The old man smiled bitterly and replied: "When selling charcoal is the most taboo and the weather is warm, what is sold is a charcoal in the snow, if there is less damage on the road, it is already thankful that it can be sold for six taels, in fact, it can't be sold a few times a year, and the extreme north is about to close the mountains with heavy snow, and this trip can only rest after it is sold." ”

The old scalper seemed to understand the old man's words, just now the old man said that this was the last trip, it turned out to be the last resort, the old scalper raised his head in the night, glanced at the old man deeply, and began to continue to gnaw on the weeds.

The sky just dawned, the old man continued to hurry, the scholar followed the car, occasionally helped push the cart, when it was nearly noon, the scholar and the old man went their separate ways, the scholar listened to the old man's words and went straight to Taiping Town, more than ten miles away, and the old man went straight to the extreme north along the road.

It's just that when the old man was eating at noon, he took out a handful of silver with white flowers in the bamboo basket in the car, and weighed it with his hands, which was as much as twenty taels.

The old man was not overjoyed when he held the silver, but bowed in the direction where the scholar left, and said in his mouth: "This cart of charcoal is not light, not to mention that you are a scholar, even a strong man is tired of pushing a cart, but whether it is a real scholar or a fake scholar, in short, he is sincere and sincere." ”

The old man shouted loudly all the way to the old ox, and walked along the road that seemed to have no end.

The scholar did not enter Taiping Town, and went straight to Qinglian Pond.

Qinglian Pond is located in a golden mountain forest, in fact, it is a small lake, the lake is round, it seems to be very deep, the water of the pond is from green to black, it looks like a huge pot, there is no lotus in the pool, but it is called how elegant.

The scholar ate as he ate

The old man said that when the weather was fine, he could vaguely see the copper coffin at the bottom of the pool, so the scholar stared at the bottom of the pool, but he couldn't see anything at all, except for the pool water on the water surface that was wrinkled by the wind, there was nothing to see. But the scholar kept staring at the lake until it was dark.

At night, the surroundings of Qinglian Pond are very quiet, and occasionally a few bird calls can be heard, as if they were startled by something, and they flew up in a mess. But those birds would never leap over the Qinglian Pond, which made the scholar feel a little interesting, so he simply planned to watch it for a few more days.

Three days passed, and the scholar still couldn't see the bronze coffin, but he met a few people during the period, and left after waiting for half a day.

On the fourth day, the scholar got up and walked towards the clear lotus pond.

He first picked up a stone and threw it into the lake, and with a bang, the stone splashed and sank to the bottom of the lake, and then there was no movement, and the scholar picked up a slightly larger stone again and threw it into the lake, and it was still the same.

The scholar simply picked up a large boulder, stepped on the rocks by the lake with one foot, and then lifted the big stone high with both hands and plunged it into the lake.

The large boulder makes a beautiful arc and falls towards the center of the clear lotus pond.

There was a loud bang at the moment when the big boulder collided with the surface of the lake, and then the stone was sparse, and the lake turned bronze in the blink of an eye, as if a large copper cauldron lid covered the entire lake.

At the same time, there was a sudden commotion in the surrounding woods, which was the movement of the leaves that had not yet fallen to their roots shaking on the branches, and I saw that on the trunk of the tree, all the leaves broke away from the trunk, and they all flew towards the position in the lake, and finally covered the surface of the lake tightly.

Seeing this scene, the scholar did not retreat, but pointed to the center of his eyebrows, and his eyes also looked at the center of the lake like the deep water, as if to see a hole in the bronze surface of the lake.

"He is not very old, but he is not small, and his temperament is so stubborn, it is really disrespectful. ”

A woman's voice, without any emotion, suddenly appeared behind the scholar.

The scholar subconsciously interrupted his gaze and turned back quickly, and saw a pair of young men and women in white fur walking towards him, both of them were light and silent, as if they were walking in the sky, and their hands were clasped together, and their faces were calm.

The scholar looked at this fairy-like couple, he didn't know where the other party came from, when he started to notice him, the scholar's expression was a little stiff, and he seemed to feel that it was not very real, so he rubbed his eyes to look at this scene, like the legendary fox fairy who cultivated immortals, and remembered an interesting thing that happened when he was a child.

The scholar remembers very well that when he was six years old, suddenly one afternoon, a snow-white fox came into the small courtyard, staring at the round eyes, and walked weakly to the place where the stool was placed in the courtyard, and then stopped and did not leave, looking at the house with pitiful eyes, as if to say that I was hungry.

Later, his adoptive father asked him to put the leftover rice in a bowl, and carefully pushed it in front of the white fox, the white fox was not polite, looked at him symbolically, and began to hold the rice bowl with two fingers and paws, and swallowed it in a big gulp.

After eating and drinking, the white fox squatted on the stool for a while, and then ran into the dense forest of the back mountain.

At this moment, the scholar looked at the woman with a leisurely face and blurted out: "Sister Fox Fairy is good." ”
