Chapter Twenty-Nine: Broken Fang Mountain, Leading to Qinhuai

The planned trip to Jinling came later than expected.

I originally planned to do it as soon as possible, who knew that Chunting suddenly had something to deal with, I already knew that his identity was extraordinary, although I don't know the specifics, but it can be called a good opportunity, but this trip is very important, he is not uneasy in our hearts, and he can only wait for him to deal with all the affairs in desperation.

It's just that Shen Lang suffered, I originally thought that we could rest, but during this time we had nothing to do, he was pulled back to the martial arts hall by Ling Xuan, practicing every day, occasionally we went to see him, and all we saw were his eyes like dead fish, which made people feel distressed and want to laugh.

Finally, the spring pavilion was busy, but I didn't expect it to be autumn.

The itinerary is not scheduled, there are no words all the way, and after so long we finally arrived at our destination this time, Jinling.

Jinling, originally the name of the mountain, "Ling" as "Shanling" solution, is now the Purple Mountain.

During the Warring States period, after King Chuwei destroyed Yue, he built a city on today's Qingliang Mountain. Because the Purple Mountain was called Jinling Mountain at that time, its remaining veins did not have its own name, and the city built by King Chuwei was built on Qingliang Mountain, and Qingliang Mountain was a part of Jinling Mountain at that time, so this city was named Jinlingyi.

This is the origin of Jinling in the first place.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, once set the capital to build a business; In the park in 317, the royal family of the Western Jin Dynasty, who fled to the south of the Yangtze River, was embraced in Jiankang and proclaimed the emperor and established the Eastern Jin Dynasty; During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen dynasties were all in Jiankang, and this Jiankang and Jianye were Jinling.

Therefore, long before the Tang and Song dynasties, this Jinling was called the "ancient capital of the Six Dynasties".

Since then, the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty have also set their capitals here, because they add up to a total of ten generations, so it is also called "ten generations of capital".

And now, although we have arrived in Jinling, we are not in any dangerous place, but in a boat, and this boat is passing through Qinhuai.

It's not that we have the heart to play in the mountains and rivers, it's really too big for Jinling, we are just a few people, it's a matter of confidentiality and we can't ask people when we meet, so we have to put it aside, since we came to Jinling once, it's really a sin not to look at this ten miles of Qinhuai.

Shen Lang may have been tired from hard training for a period of time, we went out to play, he was not interested, he was resting alone in the hotel, and he couldn't shout at him, so we had to abandon him and leave him to fend for himself.

Everyone walked around the Confucius Temple, Qi Zhi was like a greedy child, noisy and finally came once, must eat Qinhuai Eight Uniques, that is, a variety of prestigious snacks, what Yongheyuan's Huangqiao baked cakes, Kaiyang dried silk, Liufengju's scallion pancakes, Lianhu cake shop's five-color cakes, Kuiguang Pavilion's five-spiced beans and five-spiced eggs, etc., etc., we had to buy a little, and then rented a boat, and traveled on Qinhuai at night.

How much love Qin Huai has in a water, it is always stronger when dreaming than when waking up.

At the beginning of the lanterns, there are whispered Jiangnan tunes in the ears from time to time, and the hazy lights on both sides of the strait vaguely cast a veil of mystery over this Qinhuai land.

This place used to be called Longzangpu, thousands of years ago was the Qin Emperor Yingzheng ordered people to dig out this river, the ten-mile river was named Qinhuai River because of Yingzheng.

Six dynasties gold powder, ten miles of Qinhuai, I still came to this river that has flowed for thousands of years for the first time, but it seems to have seen the Jin Ge Iron Horse under Sun Quan during the Three Kingdoms in the haze, and saw the internal and external troubles of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, she still sings the backyard flowers across the river, and the drunken dreams and deaths of several generations seem to all emerge one by one in this ten miles of Qinhuai.

"It's strange to say, this Jinling has been the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties since ancient times, but that dynasty and that generation are not long, do you say this place is good or bad."

Although Xue Nan has always been cold, there was a tenderness in her eyes that could not be hidden when she saw Chunting, she looked at Chunting and talked to us with a smile.

"There is still a saying about this Jinling and Qin Huai, I don't know if you are interested in hearing it."

Chun Ting was not very interested, he didn't know what he was thinking, and Ling Xuan saw that he was silent, looked into the distance and slowly spoke.

He stood at the bow of the boat, with an uninhibited evil smile on his face, and the lights from afar reflected on his face, mysterious and attention-grabbing, really like the talented and beautiful women who have been handed down from ancient times to the present, indescribably chic and graceful.

"I know that Brother Ling Xuan knows a lot, so let's talk about it."

Qi Zhi is a child's heart, she was happy to eat, but as soon as she heard the story, she came over, pulled my sleeve, and looked at Ling Xuan with blank eyes.

Ling Xuan looked at Qi Zhi, as if he wanted to touch her head, and then looked at me, maybe he didn't think it was appropriate, so he smiled and said.

"This place used to be called Longzangpu, and it was called Huaishui in the Han Dynasty. Legend has it that the ancestral dragon passed by here in the east, and there was a royal spirit in Jinling, so he ordered people to dig the north mountain to cut off its momentum, so that the Changlong near the Fangshan was all dug up, so the water changed to flow north, passed through the whole city of Jinling and went straight to the Yangtze River, and all the royal gas of Jinling was washed away. ”

I listened to what he said, remembered that I had read the relevant records, and agreed in passing.

"This is the later generations recorded the broken side of the mountain, through Qinhuai, vent the king's anger, to the Tang Dynasty, descendants according to this legend, then changed the name of Qinhuai River."

Ling Xuan looked at me with satisfaction and continued to speak.

"Since the royal qi of Jinling has been lost, naturally whoever builds here will not last long, unless Zulong comes in person."

Qi Zhi blinked and asked mischievously, her cute appearance really said that no one would hate anything.

"Who is Zulong? Is it a dragon? ”

"Silly boy, Zulong is Qin Shi Huang. According to the historical records, the ancestor is the beginning; Dragon, human-monarch statue. It is said that the first emperor is also. It means that he is the first emperor to unify the world, so he is honored as Zulong. ”

I patted her on the head and looked at her dotingly, the more I spent with her, the more familiar I felt, it seemed that we had been together for a long, long time, but I didn't have any impression.

"It turned out to be Emperor Qin's reign, you said that I didn't know about Qin Shi Huang, so I was embarrassed and had to ask about it, I hate it."

Although Qi Zhi said that she hated it, her expression was like a girl's coquettishness, everyone looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Chunting suddenly moved, and he stood up, his expression thoughtful.

"The statue of Bi Fang is in the mound of clothes placed by Yuan Tiangang for Yang Guang, and that mound has broken Li Tang's dragon vein, I once asked others when I was young, why Yuan Tiangang chose here, aren't you afraid that the dragon vein will be cut off and ruin the foundation of the Tang Dynasty."

My expression was also full of curiosity, from the first time I saw the feng shui bureau there, doubts have always been in my mind, and it is rare for Chunting to take the initiative to mention it today.

"That's right, when I first saw the old site of Baqiao, I secretly wondered, since Yuan Tiangang is a strange person, how could he do such a thing, I think there must be a reason why it must be so."

Hearing my doubts, Chunting recalled the answers of the person he was asking little by little.

"The person I inquired told me that the place where the statue was placed was chosen by the head of Guanshan at that time, because there is some mysterious power in the statue, only the dragon vein can suppress it, if it is placed in other places, people in weak water can sense the statue, and in desperation, they can only choose to exchange the Tang Dynasty for the peace of Shenzhou."

"Chunting, do you mean that the second statue we are looking for is also in the dragon vein?"

Xue Nan seemed to hear something, and there was some hesitation in his words, but the excitement in his expression was overflowing.

Chunting looked at Xue Nan, pretending not to see the tenderness in her eyes, turned his gaze to the courtyard, and said lightly.

"That's right, it's been too long, so long that I've forgotten it, if I hadn't heard what you said, Zu Long had cut off the king's qi in Jinling, I'm afraid I wouldn't have remembered it for a while."

Ling Xuan's eyes lit up when he heard Chunting's words, and he said excitedly.

"Since the statue can only be placed in the place of the dragon vein, I do know that there is a dragon vein in this Jinling, it seems that this ten miles of Qinhuai is a good place, and there is still some harvest from this night tour."

"There's a dragon vein here? Where? ”

Qi Zhi was extremely excited when she heard the dragon vein, like a child who had gotten a toy.

Although I didn't ask, but the look was the same excitement and confusion, the dragon vein has been said since ancient times, and the book I read since I was a child also explained in detail the method of finding the dragon point, can I really see the legendary dragon vein this time?

Chunting looked at my puzzled expression, his face was cold, and although the words he said were hurtful, they inexplicably had the meaning of hating iron and not steel.

"They don't know, forget it, you can't remember, you are also a well-read person, don't you know which emperor is buried in this Jinling?"

I thought about it, my mouth wide open, my face full of surprise.

"Zhu Yuanzhang? Ming Xiaoling? ”

Seeing that I thought of it, Chunting smiled with satisfaction, sat back on the cruise ship, and nodded with his back to me.

"That's right, it's Ming Xiaoling."
