Chapter 19: On the Banks of the Water
Luoyang is located on the south bank of the Yellow River, Ping Pi Mountain in the north, Luoshui in the south, Huhu Prison in the east, Yinghan Valley in the west, surrounded by mountains, Luoyang Plain in the middle, Yi, Luo, Qian, Jian four rivers flow through it, it is not only the situation is dangerous, but also the scenery is beautiful, the soil is fertile, the climate is moderate, and the transportation is convenient.
Therefore, since ancient times, there have been eight dynasties such as Xia, Shang, Eastern Zhou, Eastern Han, Cao Wei, Western Jin, Northern Wei and Sui.
The so-called Heyang Dingdingdi, located in the Central Plains and corresponding to the Quartet, Luoyang is the world's traffic stronghold, military fortress.
After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he took Luoyang as the center and dug out a grand canal that reached Hangzhou in the south and Zhuo County in the north, running through the north and south, connecting the five major water systems of the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, the Yangtze River and the Qiantang River, and Luoyang became the central hub of transportation and commerce in the world.
The scale of Luoyang is not comparable to the general small city, there are three gates in the south gate alone, the city gate in the middle is called Jianguo Gate, the left is the White Tiger Gate, the right is the Changxia Gate, the atmosphere is magnificent.
Lu Fengqiu was alone and stepped into this Luoyang City.
He and Lu Miaozi parted ways in Jingling City, Lu Miaozi licked his old face and went back to Pegasus Ranch to find his daughter Shang Xiuxun to reconcile, while he went all the way north to Luoyang.
When he was on the way, he had already heard the news spread that the new generation of Cihang Jingzhai had entered the WTO!
Just because in this short period of half a month, the situation in the world has changed abruptly, as if a stone was thrown in the Pinghu Lake, but it caused a monstrous wave.
Half a month ago, when Jingling City was besieged, the Yuwen valve launched a mutiny in Jiangdu, and heard the spread of the world that Yang Guang was not killed by the Yuwen valve, but was killed by the "Rakshasa Girl" Fu Junwu, but everyone with a discerning eye knows that if the Yuwen valve does not rebel, how can the "Rakshasa Girl" Fu Junwu kill the faint monarch so easily.
The news of Yang Guang's murder spread all over the world, and suddenly the already erosive situation in the world was out of control.
Li Zitong heard the news and led a large army to attack Yangzhou, which was already full of war.
Li Mi killed Zhai Rang, the leader of the Wagang army, and led the Wagang army to take Xingyang first, and then Luokou, and the soldiers pointed directly at Luoyang, and for a time the army was mighty and became the most powerful force in the world's righteous army.
At the same time, Taiyuan Li Valve has sent troops to Chang'an, Li Yuan's second son Li Shimin personally led the army, all the way to the bamboo, crossed the Dragon Gate into the pass, and successively defeated Song Laosheng and Qu Tutong, but it is rumored that Li Valve and the Eastern Turks secretly colluded, and there seemed to be some unspeakable secrets.
As soon as Yang Guang died, the world became a pot of porridge.
The undercurrent of all forces in Jianghuai is turbulent, and the four great Kou and the Jianghuai army and the auxiliary Gongyou of the Jianghuai army reached a tacit understanding, and the Lingcheng was occupied by the four great Kou and the Jianghuai army.
The ministers of Luoyang supported Yang Guangzhi's grandson Yue Wang Yang Tong as the emperor, and Wang Shichong was ready to move, wanting to force Yang Dong to take the throne, but there was a Dugu valve on the side, and he couldn't do it.
And the concubine went to Luoyang to visit the so-called true son of heaven and set things right for the world.
It is rumored that the trip to Luoyang with Shi Feixuan was accompanied by Ning Daoqi, the first person in the Central Plains.
It is rumored in Wulin that Ning Daoqi will personally hand over He's bi to Concubine Xuan, the representative of Cihang Jingzhai, in Luoyang.
Lu Fengqiu just smiled at this, and he was determined to win, no matter how Cihang Jingzhai built momentum, the final winner would only be him.
Lu Fengqiu walked on the street that runs through the north and south gates, looking at the trees such as cherries, pomegranates, elms, and willows planted all over the street, and in the middle was the imperial road for the emperor to go out on patrol.
Although it is now the turn of summer and autumn, and the leaves have begun to turn yellow, the scenery is still picturesque, beautiful, and has a unique taste.
There are many shops on both sides of the avenue, and between the lanes, each has its own road, and the vertical and horizontal ten streets that run through the major city gates are staggered, and it is orderly.
This is the real big city.
Lu Fengqiu walked on the Tianjin Bridge across Luoshui, and couldn't help but think that the poet Liu Xiyi had a poem, of course, this Liu Xiyi was not born yet.
"The spring water under the Tianjin Bridge, the prosperous son on the Tianjin Bridge. The sound of the horse turned out of the clouds, and the figure shook the green wave. ”
Lu Fengqiu stood with his hands in his hands, reading in his mouth, looking at Na Luoshui with his eyes, but he couldn't help but think of the legend of Hetu Luoshu.
The legend of Hetuluo happened in the Heluo area.
Legend has it that when Fu Xi was in the time, there was a dragon horse that emerged from the Yellow River and carried the "river map"; There is a turtle floating out of the Luo River, carrying the "Luo Shu".
According to this "picture" and "book", Fu Xi painted gossip.
Just as Lu Fengqiu was contemplating the water, he heard someone suddenly on his side suspicious, and said, "Huh? ”
Lu Fengqiu turned his head to look, but saw that it was a middle-aged Taoist priest, the middle-aged Taoist priest had an ordinary appearance, but the combination of facial features gave people a convincing feeling, and those eyes were very deep, as if they could see through all the changes in the world.
It was the first time Lu Fengqiu had encountered such a figure, and he could see at a glance that the internal cultivation of this middle-aged Taoist had reached an extremely high level.
The middle-aged Taoist priest's gaze collided with Lu Fengqiu's.
In the mouth of the middle-aged Taoist priest, while holding his hand, he read: "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable." ”
Lu Fengqiu also returned the salute, and also recited: "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable." ”
This "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable" is the honorific name recited by the disciples of the Three Qing Dynasty when they generally give gifts.
This middle-aged Taoist priest is so formal, but it is much more formal than Lu Fengqiu.
However, although Lu Fengqiu does not speak with others on weekdays, now that he has met an expert, he will naturally not be rude.
The two looked at each other and smiled, quite a taste that can only be understood and cannot be spoken.
Lu Fengqiu said: "Brother Dao is polite. ”
The middle-aged Taoist priest was also polite and said, "Fellow Daoists are polite. ”
Lu Fengqiu pointed to a flat boat on the Luoshui River under the Tianjin Bridge, and said: "With such a beautiful scenery, boating on the lake should be a great pleasure." ”
The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and said, "Daoist friend Yaxing, please." ”
Lu Fengqiu bowed slightly, jumped down, and the middle-aged Taoist priest saw Lu Fengqiu's small dew hand, a few different colors flashed in his eyes, and then he also jumped down, indescribably light.
The people who came and went on the overpass couldn't help but be amazed when they saw the two of them so powerful, and many people saw the middle-aged Taoist and called him "master".
……
A flat boat is floating in Luoshui.
The boatman was not too surprised by the two uninvited guests who fell from the sky, after all, he had been in Luoyang for a long time, and he had seen a lot of martial artists who came and went.
The boat was driving slowly on the Luoshui River, the scenery at the beginning of autumn had a different kind of beauty, the breeze was blowing across the water, and from time to time there was the laughter and conversation of Lu Fengqiu and the middle-aged Taoist.
Lu Fengqiu really didn't expect that as soon as he entered Luoyang City, he would meet the famous Yuan Tiangang.
The two talked happily and exchanged names and surnames on the boat.
"Can Lu Daoyou's trip to Luoyang also be for the world-famous "He's Bi"? “
Yuan Tiangang sat on the side of the boat, and the old god said.
Lu Fengqiu smiled: "Oh? Why did Brother Dao say this? ”
Yuan Tiangang smiled slightly: "Poor Dao has some research on physiognomy, so I can see some end rituals." ”
Lu Fengqiu looked at Yuan Tiangang, there was a different color in his eyes, there was no vanity under his fame, this old Yuan did have some ways, but at this time, all the masters who entered Luoyang City were probably inseparable from He's family.
Lu Fengqiu just smiled slightly, and said directly: "Brother Dao's physiognomy is extraordinary, Lu admires it." ”
Yuan Tiangang sighed and said: "That and the family carries the luck of the world, I don't know what is the use of Lu Daoyou to that and the family?" Could it be that the Taoist friend was sent by someone? ”
Lu Fengqiu shook his head and said indifferently: "I'm afraid that no one in this world can send Lu to act. ”
