Chapter Twenty-Nine: Chunting's Strange Behavior
(There is an author's friend Qianding who fulfilled his promise in the book friend group and sent women's clothes, and after I laughed, I found that I didn't even have the qualifications for women's clothes, and I was sad...... )
I'm still too young.
With the twelfth bowl of tribute noodles brought by the shopkeeper, it turned out that I still seriously underestimated Xie Xie's amount of food.
I thought that he was thin and weak, and even if he could eat as much as he could, he could eat as much as he could, but the result was ......
With the two bowls of tribute noodles I called for to be served, in the following time, a strange scene began in which we were curious to watch and he kept swallowing.
I even began to seriously suspect that Yi He would find a reason for him to pick us up because he couldn't afford to raise Xie Xie.
Shen Lang looked at it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask with the curiosity in his heart.
"Xie Xie, didn't you really let Yihe out because you were too good to eat?"
"Actually, I really don't blame me for this."
Xie Xie heard Shen Lang's words, swallowed the things in his mouth hard, picked up the cup and took a sip of water, and smiled.
"I entered the Netherworld by chance, originally just an insignificant small role, but later thanks to the Lord's favor, I was promoted to the position of impermanence, and passed on the exercises left by my impermanence, but it was this impermanence that went wrong."
Xie Xie explained, while not forgetting to gobble up the food in front of him, as if he was afraid that we would regret it.
"You all know that the legendary impermanence seduces the soul, and the kung fu handed down by impermanence is also cultivated with the soul that has been snatched, but although the name of the Netherworld is mysterious, it is not an evil way, and it is always impossible to take people's lives to temper their own exercises, so in desperation, they can only rely on eating more food and extracting the essence of things to replace the soul for cultivation."
I see.
Legend says that impermanence is the messenger of the soul of the ditch when people die, and the white impermanence and the black impermanence are called the two masters of impermanence, and they are the gods who specialize in capturing the soul, in which the white impermanence sucks the yin soul of the man and scatters the yin spirit of the woman, while the black impermanence is just the opposite, sucking the yang soul of the woman and scattering the yang spirit of the man.
If this impermanent exercise really needs to suck the soul and death qi in order to cultivate, it is understandable that Xie Xie has such an appetite, and the people in the underworld are not evil ways, and they must not risk the disapproval of the world and temper their own exercises with the soul of the people, and although this food is not as good as the death qi, it is not a compromise method to win by quantity.
Although I understood why he ate so much, I couldn't help but secretly slander myself, and I was even more convinced that Yi He must not be able to support him, so he was sent to meet us.
Seeing our playful gaze, Xie Xie blushed, and he didn't speak, just smiled, and continued to fight with the food in front of him.
By the time Xie Xie had eaten and drunk to his heart's content, it was already the second half of the night, and everyone returned to the inn where they stayed while making fun of his meal, and began to rest, preparing to wake up and visit the thousand-year-old city again.
……
Nothing was said all night.
Thankfully, nothing happened on my first night in Liyang, whether it was the strange dream or the pursuit of the people in the netherworld, it seemed that all of them had vanished, allowing me to have the spirit to explore this legendary ancient city.
I got up, dressed and washed, and when I came out to find that everyone had woken up, and I was the last one to arrive, I smiled and gathered around everyone to discuss where to start today's tour. Romance
Although Liyang is not famous, but there are indeed a lot of historical sites in the territory, the Liyang section of the Grand Canal, the famous mountain of Yugong, the Daling Mountain, the Liyang Cang and the Fuqiu Mountain that hides the Thousand Buddha Caves, no matter which place is worth watching, there is no choice for a while.
Xie Xie thought about it and came up with a solution.
"That's it, my lord, Liyangcang and the Grand Canal are one and the same, it's closer to us, let's go here first, as for the Daling Mountain and Fuqiu Mountain are relatively far away, we can go to see it at the end, I don't know what you think?"
We glanced at each other and nodded one after another, according to the current point of view, Xie Xie really didn't find any other problems except for the large amount of food, after all, he is a local, and he is more familiar with this ancient city than us, we are not familiar with the place of life, so how can we have other opinions.
Seeing that we had no objections, Xie Xie took the lead and led us to start the day's tour, walking like a real tour guide, and began to introduce us to the past and present life of Liyangcang and the Grand Canal.
As early as the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Mengde, for military needs, in the southwest of Liyang, "curb Qi water into Baigou", so that the Qi River out of the Yellow River into its old Baigou, Cao Cao's move, inadvertently laid the foundation for the later Sui Yang Emperor to open the Yongji Canal.
To the Sui Dynasty to build the capital of Daxing City, although Guanzhong is known as the fertile field, but because of the small number of people in the land, the output is far from enough to supply the Beijing Division, or to rely on the taxes presented by the Eastern states, at this time the Sui Emperor found that the size of the Wei water is impermanent, the flow is shallow and the sand is deep, often blocking the Cao Yun, so in the fourth year of the emperor's life, Yu Wenkai led the water engineer to open another Cao Canal.
The newly opened Cao Canal leads Wei water from the northwest of Daxing City, slightly follows the old road of Cao Canal in the Han Dynasty and goes east, to Tongguan into the Yellow River, more than 300 miles long, the name is Guangtong Canal, in the following years, Tongji Canal, Shanyang Du and Yongji Canal have been built successively, which is beneficial to the Grand Canal in Qianqiu so far has a prototype.
At the same time of building the canal, there are also wide royal roads on both banks, planting willow trees in rows, from Chang'an to Jiangdu, more than 40 palaces are built, and many granaries have been established along the canal, as a place for transshipment or grain storage, and the Liyang warehouse we are going to now is one of them.
In the seventh year of the great cause, Yang Guang prepared to personally conquer Goryeo, and crossed the Yellow River into the Yongji Canal by boat from Jiangdu to Hangou and Tongji Canal, and went directly to Zhuo County, and "sent the people south of the river and Huai and transported Liyang and Luokou Zhucang rice to Zhuo County, and the Liyang section of the Grand Canal began to appear in front of the world.
With Xie Xie's narration, we unconsciously arrived at this ancient site, which was unusually large unlike the humble granary we imagined.
At a glance, the main relics of Liyang Cang are city walls, moats, cellars, rammed earth foundations, large building foundations, roads, tombs, ash pits, etc., this ancient granary built by the mountain, has been more than 1,400 years ago, it is really difficult to imagine how the ancients completed this feat when there was no large machinery, it is breathtaking.
Chunting didn't seem to have any intention of watching, and pulled me aside behind everyone's back in the name of rest, looking mysterious and mysterious.
"Han Chuan, you wear a mountain and sea ring in your left hand and a Guigu Order in your right hand, feel the surroundings with your heart, and see if the Guigu Ring Order can resonate with this ruin."
It seems that Chunting is not just to find out the inner ghost to stay in this Liyang, there must be other reasons to stay here, although I don't understand, but I still follow his instructions, put my left hand on my chest, and take out the ghost valley order in my arms with my right hand, close my eyes and hold my breath, and feel it seriously.
But after a long time, there was no change in the four places, and I didn't feel any abnormal breath, I opened my eyes and looked at Chunting suspiciously.
"Chunting, am I missing something?"
Seeing my reaction, Chunting shook his head in disappointment.
"It has nothing to do with you, it seems that this place is just an ordinary ruin, and it has nothing to do with the Ghost Valley lineage."
As soon as I was about to speak, I saw that everyone was already walking in the direction of me and Chunting, and Chunting hurriedly spoke, blocking the question I wanted to ask.
"No need to ask, no need to say, I'll tell you why when I get back."
With that, he turned and left.
