Teacher Shen looked at me with a smug look in his eyes. It seems to say, you kid didn't expect that we could do such a drag thing.

This flying machine looks like a Kong Ming lantern, but with a basket for people at the bottom, and the material certainly looks much stronger than the paper Kong Ming lantern. I've only heard of it, but I've never seen it.

The roof is very spacious, and it has been transformed into a large aircraft platform by the rescue team, and Master Wang happens to be the person who can drive the aircraft in the rescue team. He said that this thing is not of much use in normal times, and only sends supplies to herders in remote areas every year when the mountains are covered by heavy snowfall, and most of the time they stop eating ashes. So we took his fortune to experience the most extravagant itinerary.

The basket of the rescue team's aircraft is relatively large, and when we really want to save people, there are at least two people lying in the back, so there is more than enough space for me and Mr. Shen to sit in the back. Mr. Shen seems to be very proficient in everything, and it is probably not the first time he has enjoyed this kind of treatment.

After taking security measures, Master Wang turned on the stove, and with the whirring wind and fire, we went to heaven like this. At first, I was a little unsteady in my seat, but gradually I got used to it.

Our approximate route was to take off from City C and fly over to the north of a flag or something, but Mr. Shen only said it once, but I didn't hear it clearly or remember it.

I said in my heart that Mr. Shen is enough to drag, take a flying machine to hurry, the card is really not ordinarily big, and other well-known domestic gold and stone scientists may not have this treatment.

But the strangest thing that strikes me is, what about the grass? There is no green prairie, and the mountains are full of the color of withered grass.

I asked Mr. Shen loudly: "This scenery is too different from the 'Infinite Blue of the Heavenly Prairie' that I want to see, right?" ”

He laughed in his ears, and he said, "Nonsense, when the grass grows and covers the ground, let's investigate a fart." And I don't blame me for this, I blame you for not having common sense, how can there be a prairie in N Province this season? ”

I said in my heart that I would not have gotten on this thief ship if I had known that this was the case, because the mountains and the ground were gray and yellow, and I couldn't see this scenery anywhere in winter. But now it's too late to say anything, and the plane is seated and I can't run away if I want to.

After flying like this for a while, Mr. Shen suddenly pointed to the bottom and said to me, "Look at the bottom, over there." ”

I looked up and saw a very rectangular area underneath. I asked Mr. Shen, "What is this?" ”

Teacher Shen looked at me with a little disgust and said, "What kind of thing can you do if you look out of the city wall like this, you definitely didn't listen to the class properly." ”

I quibbled, "This has nothing to do with listening to the class, can you see clearly from the sky in the class?" ”

"Don't be poor, I'll teach you a lesson in the sky for free today, this is the ancestral city of the Liao Dynasty, this is the residence of the royal family of the Liao Dynasty, have you heard of it? He and his four ancestors were born here, so it is called Zuzhou. Did you see the mountain behind Zuzhou City, the mountain is the Liao Zu Mausoleum, and it is Yelu Abaoji that is buried. There are also several Liao Dynasty imperial tombs nearby, all of which are selected in places with excellent feng shui. ”

I looked closely, and indeed, this place is a rare good feng shui. I roughly looked at the map before I came, and the side of City C is basically the end of the Daxinganling Mountains, although this area is not a mountain range, but there are a lot.

This Liaozu Mausoleum, surrounded by mountains, the only opening is in the southeast, facing the Liaozu Prefecture City, there is a mountain not far away in the direction of the opening, it can be said that the word "Tibetan wind" has been done to the extreme.

It seems that when the nobles of the Liao Dynasty were buried, they did not refer to the feng shui of Han culture. However, it is not difficult to understand that the Liao people at that time were nomads, and their brute strength may be able to defeat the Central Plains, but in terms of culture, it is not a grade. So in some ways they relied heavily on the Han literati, who included Fangshi and some religious propagators. Maybe it's because of this that I found a place to be buried according to the Feng Shui theory of the Han people.

The aircraft flew for a while, and Mr. Shen pointed to the bottom again, and said to me, "Look there." ”

I looked at it and saw that it was a rectangle larger than just now, and there was no need to ask, it was the site of another city. When he saw that I couldn't say anything, he said: "This is Liao Shangjing, Liao has five capitals, this is just one of them, this Shangjing City is divided into two cities: the Imperial City and Seoul, you can see it, right?" As the name suggests, Seoul is to house Han Chinese, but I didn't expect it. If it weren't for the grasslands, these ruins would have been so well preserved. ”

I thought to myself, this really comes to mind, the Liao people still seem to value the role of the Han people. Although there is a certain amount of discrimination in separate housing, at least people give you land.

In a short time, we should have arrived at our destination, and the aircraft landed smoothly on a flat wasteland under the watchful eyes of the fathers and elders all around.

After Mr. Shen and I got off the plane, Master Wang also came down and gave us a precise topographic map of the local area, so that even if we went to the mountains, we would not be afraid. Mr. Shen thanked Master Wang, we said goodbye to him, and he got on the plane and flew back. We walked towards a house not far away. The landing place is not very remote, like an ordinary rural edge.

Teacher Shen asked me as he walked, "What's the matter, did you have fun today?" ”

"Happy, I didn't expect the first time in my life to ride a flying machine was here. Ah no, I'm not happy, it's too much different from thinking of the grassland. ”

Mr. Shen's ability to avoid the important is first-class, and he said with a smile: "Take you on a flying machine, and let you see feng shui in the sky, I think you can see it in the book, even if there is a picture, it is not as clear as today's field trip, right?" "Indeed, I nodded.

"Second, I also thank you for saving your life, and I also thanked you kid before."

I said twice, I didn't expect him to remember this. He continued: "Our goal this time is not to find the ruins and tombs of the city, but to look for the vestiges of the life of the steppe nomads along the river your, all the way north. Nomads live on water and grass, and they are inevitably inseparable from the river, so walking along the river is very promising to find new ruins. There is nothing dangerous on this road, there are small villages and towns on the road, so you don't have to worry about eating and drinking. You get the idea? ”

"I understand, but I don't know much, so I can only follow you." I used to hear my senior brother say that the most I did during fieldwork was to pick up pottery shards, but when I arrived at the grassland, the situation might be different. I said in my heart that if you bring me over as a donkey, you will let me be exposed to the wind and sun, and I have to do coolies or something, you guy is very bad.

When we walked to the cottage where we lived, the two seniors had already arrived. This is a private house that our school spent money to buy, as a temporary transit place, not only can you sleep and eat, stack tools, and what you have gained, but you can also gather here first.

Teacher Shen said to them, "I didn't expect you two to be quite fast?" Let's go, let's eat. ”

There is no restaurant here, Mr. Shen took us directly to a family, it seems to be a frequent visitor, the hostess received us very warmly, Mr. Shen said a few dishes to him, said a good price, a few of us sat at the dining table and waited.

Soon, all kinds of beef and mutton dishes were served, and after tasting them, I have to say that this housewife is very virtuous, and her cooking skills are excellent, and the meals she makes have a unique grassland flavor, which can be described as a feast.

What's even more pleasant is that after eating, we were also provided with real milk tea, which is the goat's milk tea boiled from the milk of my own sheep, which is fragrant and sweet for the first time I have drunk it.

Teacher Shen arranged for us to repair for two days first, and we were not in a hurry anyway. But we had nothing else to do, so we packed up our things at the station, and brought everything we needed to bring with us for the off-road, although there were villages along the way, but they were far away, and we would not move too fast, and we would inevitably have to sleep in the wilderness.

Teacher Shen got a sharp firewood knife for one of us, and said, "Although the fierce beasts on the grassland have basically been wiped out now, don't worry too much, but just in case, you still have to bring the knife." When the time comes, if there is a tree, chopping firewood, and sharpening crutches, there will also be a guy. ”

In the next two days, we all solved the problem of eating in that family, there is no scale here, otherwise it is estimated that there will be two or three catties of extra food to eat after each meal.

Mr. Shen also went to a family that raised horses very much like a child and borrowed a tall horse to ride and play, which was several times more majestic than looking for a common horse. He told us that his dream since childhood was to be a man who runs on horses, and looking at his figure running on a horse in the wilderness, there is really a feeling of being a Hu man outside the Han Dynasty. At first glance, he is definitely a veteran, and he has never ridden it before.

After getting off the horse, Mr. Shen also improvised a crooked poem to us, the poem cloud: "The old man chats about the madness of youth, and gallops through the horse and the river." Dare to look for the sunset in the west, only hate white hair and wait for no one. ”

We all clapped our hands and "admired" and said, "Good poetry, good poetry."

He smiled and said to me: "You boys, don't be unconvinced, learn some ancient poetry, and it will be easy to use in the future. That's how I did it back then, do you want me to teach you? ”

"No, no, no." We all shook our heads again and again, and I am afraid that I will not be able to learn the style of literati and. I'm afraid I won't be able to learn that way.

After a few good days, everything that should be enjoyed has been enjoyed, and it is time to officially get to work. We carry our own equipment and bring dry food, Mr. Shen let us not have to bring too much, passing by villages and towns, we can supplement and replenish dry food, and water is not needed, we are not afraid of running out of water along the river, and the residents on the grassland are very precious to water resources, and the upstream here is a reservoir, so the water here is still very clean, there is no pollution source, and you can drink it directly.
