Chapter Seventy-Two: The Nine Roads of the Heavenly Trench and the Nine Ze Nets, the Vulgar and the Ladylike (I)
The place of worship was arranged at the confluence of the Yellow River, the Bianshui, and the Chasm.
Different from today's meaning, the purpose of King Yu's excavation of the chasm was communication, not estrangement.
"Historical Records of the River Canal Book" quoted from the "Xia Book" said: So Yu thought that the river came from the high, the water was turbulent, it was difficult to level the land, and the number was defeated, and it was the second canal to lead the river. The highlands of the north, over the precipitation, as for the mainland, sowing for the nine rivers, the same as the reverse river, into the Bohai nine rivers are sparse, Jiuze is sprinkled, Zhuxia Ai'an, the merit is applied to the three generations. Since then, Xingyang has led the southeast of the river to the chasm, with Song, Zheng, Chen, Cai, Cao, Wei, and Ji, Ru, Huai, and Sihui. In Chu, the west is through the canal Han water, Yunmeng field, and the east is through the ditch Jianghuai leisure. In Wu, it leads to three rivers and five lakes. In Qi, it is idle to help disasters. In Shu, Shu guards the ice and chisels away from the mill, dispels the harm of foaming water, and passes through the two rivers in Chengdu.
The history of artificial canals in China began with King Yu.
In the era of the rapid rise of river flow during the ancient glacial period, King Yu established a water transportation network that runs through Jiuchuan in the Bohai Sea, Jiuze in the Central Plains, Jiang, He, Huai, Ji, Ru, Si, and Si.
The trip to Kyushu "carries vehicles on land, carries boats on water, travels through mud, and travels on the mountain as a bridge", and there is no longer a barrier.
After climate change and the flow of rivers returned to normal, most of these artificially excavated water networks became congested due to dry water.
During the period of the Chu and Han dynasties, the chasm had become a trunk canal on the bank of the river, which could only be used as a fossil record of ancient water conservancy projects in China, and was no longer used in the past.
This is also the place where the overlord of Western Chu and Liu Bang negotiated peace, the so-called Chu River is the water, and the Han boundary is the main canal of the chasm.
This peace conference also completely changed the cultural connotation of the gap, and the stereotype of "insurmountable" gradually replaced the original intention of "thoroughfare Jiuze".
King Wei chose this suburban sacrifice, and naturally he had to borrow allusions from his predecessors.
After the wine festival was opened, Yuan Hong first ordered the river to be broken to irrigate the chasm, in order to show that the world was reconnected and the four seas were the same.
The chasm has been congested for a long time, and even if there is river water, it can only fill a long and narrow pond.
It is no more than a hundred zhang long, and about three or four zhang wide.
The bottom of the ditch has not flowed for a long time, and the rocks are uneven, some are deep and some are shallow,
The deep is not too long, and the shallow is not enough.
There have long been skillful work to carry the shallow place reserved wooden piers,
When the water is ready, an elite army uses the wooden fence that has been assembled in advance to go down the ditch to build a platform.
In just half an hour, a three-zhang wide platform was built on the water surface to connect the two banks.
The king of Wei led the guard of honor to step on the wooden platform to the other side, and then walked back from the opposite bank, symbolizing the Chu River and the Han realm.
Subsequently, Yu Jianlan Ruo Bhikshuni Hu Seng Zhi led a ninety-five chanting group to the wooden platform, chanting and praying, and the King of Wei retreated to the viewing platform to watch the ceremony.
Since the next song and dance performances were also to be held on the terrace on the lake, the viewing platform of the King of Wei was set up in a basin slightly lower than the lake surface to meet the custom of watching the opera on a high platform.
On the slopes of the hill on all sides are soldiers in charge of guarding, and the soldiers on each hillside are divided into three groups and take turns to take on duty.
When he is on duty, the bow is wound, the sword is unsheathed, and the tiger's eyes are ready to enter the battle at any time.
Last night's serial murders and all kinds of grotesque events have doomed this sacrifice not to go as smoothly as expected.
But the rule of this sacrifice is "no covering", that is, those who come do not refuse.
Tens of thousands of villagers rushed to see the lively villagers in all directions, all of whom were guided by the Yang family according to the terrain in four specially demarcated viewing areas.
deliberately distanced himself from the VIP stand where the King of Wei, the ministers, and the envoys of Fanbang were located.
Halfway through the recitation, it was almost noon, and officials in the surrounding viewing areas began to arrange almsgiving meals.
In addition, the catering officer will serve exquisite meals to the guests in the VIP area.
Whether it is out of the relationship of the Little Dragon King, the identity of the guests of Nanqi, or the name of the agent Tanjun, it is natural for Qingyun and his party to be arranged in the VIP area.
Chanting sutras and chanting Buddha is naturally not lively and beautiful, and it is the right thing to take this opportunity to feast.
Qingyun took a few mouthfuls of food in his self-eating box and sent it to his mouth,
Hey, don't really say it, the level of this imperial chef is not much better than that of Mochou girl.
Qingyun is carefully chewing the smooth texture of fried lamb with green onions,
Suddenly, the six senses jumped, as if sensing the approach of some kind of danger.
He began to look around, taking a closer look at the movements, only to spot two Takahashi Ni chasing the musicians and trying to get closer to the VIP seats.
Qingyun suddenly seemed to remember something, he walked to Liu Ying's side, leaned over and whispered,
"Third brother, where is Miss Mochou now?"
Liu Ying unexpectedly Qingyun suddenly asked this, could it be that he had been secretly paying attention to Miss Mochou's actions too obviously?
"Oh, she showed up in the VIP seat just now, sitting on the female officer's side.
It was only an hour ago that he walked away, and he didn't know where he went.
I saw that Xiao Gongzi didn't go with her, so it shouldn't have anything to do with the rehearsal. ”
Qingyun pointed in the direction of the music official,
"Third brother, you need to pay more attention over there, I suspect that the mysterious assassin who visited Mo Chou's residence at night is Takahashi Ni."
Liu Ying's face changed slightly, "How can you see it?" ”
"Yesterday, during the dance, the stage suddenly collapsed.
Doesn't the third brother think it's strange? ”
"This ...... What does it have to do with Miss Mochou? ”
"Before Mrs. Shi took the stage, it was Takahashi who used the stage.
If they hadn't done it, how could the sturdy mahogany stage suddenly collapse?
I think it must be the position of the finale that is very important to Takahashi, so she is determined to win.
So they did not hesitate to destroy the stage and cut off the thoughts of those who came after.
According to the situation at that time, if it weren't for the Mochou girls using silk as a platform, they would have been able to sit firmly on the dragon head.
During the day, they made Madame Shi bad, but they did not stop Miss Mochou, so they wanted to disadvantage her at night.
Fortunately, she was not allowed to succeed by mistake. ”
Liu Ying only heard the chill on his back,
"So, what then?
I haven't seen Miss Mochou for so long, will something happen to her? ”
"If it's really as I expected, Miss Mochou should be fine.
It's just that Takahashi is coming to us now, and he must not have any good intentions.
Third brother, pay more attention, I'll find the eldest brother to find Miss Mochou.
It's easier for him to move around here, and there's less trouble to go to. ”
Liu Ying hurriedly responded, seeing that Qingyun had gone to find the Yuan monk again, he knew that he couldn't help himself in finding Mo Chou in this kind of scene, so a pair of eagle eyes stared at Takahashini and did not let go of any slight changes.
After all, Takahashi Ni is the upcoming dancer,
In yesterday's fight dance, his Yuzao Qiantinghua left a deep impression on many people.
Especially in the eyes of those Xianbei soldiers who don't know a few big characters, Takahashini's tulle shaking shoulders and twisting waist dance is much more fun than Mo Chou's dance of slippery silk and turning in circles.
Seeing that Takahashi Ni came over with the music official, no one checked it, but those instinctive attention salutes were also indispensable.
Today's Takahashi Ni walks in front of people in pairs,
The dancer Takahashi Ni has changed into a thin veil, and almost everyone is looking at it.
The musician Takahashi Ni was dressed in a palace costume, and he received a lot less attention.
Perhaps more than that.
But at least there was one more person who stared at her from beginning to end.
Liu Ying woke up naturally, and it was impossible for the much-anticipated tullet to turn over any tricks in front of people.
If they really want to play any conspiracy, it must be carried out by the musicians.
