Chapter 72: Fate will eventually meet again

After a short break at the hotel, I continued my journey, although it was afternoon, the climate here was quite comfortable, so I didn't have to worry about the heat at all. What's more, there are so many teahouses to rest, and sitting in the store and listening to the music will calm down and cool naturally.

In fact, my goal is very clear: to go to the snow-capped mountains, as a person who has never been to a snow-capped mountain, it is simply a fairyland on earth.

When I was a child, I watched "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and had an endless yearning for the snow mountains, and I felt that I could grow old together when I stepped on the top of the snow mountains with my beloved, and later fell in love with the Alps because of skiing, so I must go to see the snow mountains when I come here.

On the way, I had to pass through an ancient town, which retains a lot of historical and cultural heritage, and is also one of the settlements of ancient people, so you can see many living specimens of agricultural civilization.

But I didn't stay too long, and continued to the snowy mountain by car, and when I got to the mountain, the biking didn't work, and I had to enter the snowy mountain through the big ropeway.

There were a lot of tourists, and everyone went forward in groups, with such a common goal, as if we were all devout people on a pilgrimage.

The water of the snow-capped mountains flows through the valley below, and due to the abundance of minerals present on the surface, it transforms into a fascinating color. Therefore, this valley also has a fairy name - Colorful Valley.

There is a stone forest scenic area in the Colorful Valley, where the stone forest is academically called karst wonder, each stone has a unique shape and color, and it seems that each stone contains its story.

There are also a few small pools in the stone forest, but due to the lack of entertainment, there are fewer people who visit them, and it is more of a natural scenic area.

On the way, I was fortunate to meet Zhang Ruohan again, at this time she had already changed her clothes, and she was talking and laughing with the two sisters. She didn't seem to see me in front of me, and I didn't call him, because I just wanted to walk the journey quietly by myself.

As I climbed up the stairs, the scenery and plants around me were constantly changing, and I remember the biology books calling it vertical change. At the foot of the mountain is usually broad-leaved forest, higher up are coniferous forest, then shrubs, and further up there may be meadows, tundra or ice fields.

However, all I saw was the white earth and bare rocks, and because the altitude of the snow-capped mountains was not high, there was no thin air, and it was not as difficult to conquer as Mount Everest.

In fact, there is no difference between climbing the snow mountain and climbing the mountain, there is no beautiful scenery on the snow mountain, there are no legendary immortals, and there is no trace of history to be seen, only the high five-star red flag is fluttering.

I don't know why everyone goes to the top of the mountain in unison, maybe it's the faith in their hearts, or a kind of admiration. Most Chinese have no religious beliefs written in their household registration books, but every healthy person is more or less faithful and reverent.

I once heard a law pulpit where the judge said that if a man has reverence, he will fear murder, he will fear life, and those who do not have reverence will kill people without any feeling, even if they sleep with a corpse. For a moment, I seemed to understand the meaning of the existence of ghost movies, and why ghost movies have always been recognized.

The wish I made on the snowy mountain is very simple, not to hope that someone will help me realize it quickly, but to let myself understand what I want.

When I see that all people's eyes are clear, I know that I must also be like the sun, the healer treats the patient equally, and the heavens must also benefit all sentient beings.

I was fortunate enough to witness the sunset, when I was almost at the bottom of the mountain, because I had been at the top of the mountain for a long time. There is a poem that says, "The sunset is infinitely good, but it is just near dusk." ”

In my opinion, the beauty of the sunset lies in making people remember the beauty before the darkness, the place where the sunset ends is the place where we will eventually go, and the destination actually has no beginning and no end.

It's just a pity that the sunset has passed so quickly, and I have returned to the ancient city before the night falls. But I didn't get back to the hotel so quickly because there was a bonfire and some other activities at night.

At night, the small illuminations are lit up, and walking down the street is like stepping into a world of flowers. I sat down in a tavern called Hongchen Old Dream, and I was listening to a book in the corner with peanuts and rice, just like in my dream, and I really felt like I was back in ancient times.

The storyteller is talking about Emperor Liu of the Han Dynasty who left the eternal story of "deep love for the old sword" and "love for the South Garden".

In the year he was born, the "witch curse" occurred in the Han Dynasty, and Liu Yi's grandfather, the crown prince of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was blamed by a traitor, and had to rebel, and then committed suicide after the defeat.

After the defeat of the army, Liu's grandmother, father, and mother were all killed, and only one of his babies who was still waiting to be fed was sent to Chang'an Prison.

The prison warden, Bingji, was a warm-hearted man, and he took pity on him for his innocent suffering, let the two female prisoners serve him as a nurse, and arranged for them to live in clean cells.

One day in February 87 B.C., a warlock who knew how to look at qi told Emperor Wu of Han, who was seriously ill, that "there is the Son of Heaven in Chang'an Prison. ”

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious and sent someone to copy a list of all the prisoners in Chang'an Prison, and ordered that all prisoners be beheaded regardless of their responsibility.

But no one expected that this would become a turning point in Liu Aiji's life, Bingji's disobedience not only saved Liu Aiji, but also made Emperor Wu of Han feel compassion, and he ordered an amnesty to the world.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty died shortly after his amnesty, and the edict left behind to adopt Liu Ai and return to the imperial family in the palace was shelved because of the busy affairs of the transfer of the throne.

At this time, it was the kind-hearted Bingji who paid out of his own pocket to arrange a residence and daily necessities for Liu Aiji and the two nursing mothers.

It wasn't until two years later that the new emperor, Emperor Zhao of Han, remembered what happened to Liu Aiji, and ordered him to move back to the palace. Although he didn't have to worry about food and clothing in the palace, he had no name, no title, no difference from commoners, and no one even wanted to marry him as a descendant of sinners.

He often went out of the palace to play, fought cocks and lackeys with the young men in the market, and drank and ate meat with the three auxiliary heroes, because only among the people no one noticed the identity of the descendants of sinners.

At the same time, another girl, Xu Pingjun, died violently before the wedding at the age of fourteen, she became an ominous person in the eyes of everyone, she was mediocre in appearance, and her father was tortured to the palace as an errand after committing a crime, and after this incident, she became a person who could not get married.

Zhang He, who was the prefect of the palace at the time, heard that he immediately held a banquet to entertain Xu Guanghan, who was Xu Pingjun's father, and the marriage of the two hit it off.

After getting married, the two lived a happy life, with great affection and the crystallization of love, but it was an unexpected palace change that year that changed the fate of the two.

Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty died, but he did not leave an heir, and the powerful minister Huo Guang manipulated Liu He, the king of Changyi, as the emperor, but unfortunately Liu He was not a good doll and did not obey Huo Guang's words. Of course, Huo Guang, who was greedy for power, couldn't bear it, and abolished Liu He in just 27 days and expelled him from Chang'an.

After experiencing this incident, Huo Guang decided to set up a powerless and powerless royal family as the emperor, so Liu Yi, who was still playing among the people, became the emperor in a daze. It's just that his bad wife is not recognized by Huo Guang, or for that reason, the courtiers who vassal Huo Guang took the opportunity to pat himself on the back and wrote to request that Huo Guang's daughter be canonized as the queen.

Liu Yi already knew that Liu He's fate was a lesson from his past, he was very afraid of Huo Guang, but he was surprisingly stubborn in this matter, but he did not explicitly resist Huo Guang.

He issued an edict: "When I was poor, I used to have an old sword, and I miss this sword very much now. ”

Everyone knows that the old sword points to the old feelings, and this touching edict quickly spread all over the world, and in order to conform to the people's wishes, the courtiers have changed their words and set up Xu Pingjun as the queen.

It's just a tragedy that Xu Pingjun was quickly poisoned, and Liu Ying knew that Huo Guang did it, but he not only didn't dare to hold him accountable, but even forced a smile when he saw Huo Guang, and the matter ended in the end, and Huo Guang's daughter Huo Chengjun became the queen the next year.

Finally, Liu Ill had survived Huo Guang in time, and he immediately set up Xu Pingjun's son Liu Shuang as the crown prince, the Huo family was so angry that he wanted to repeat his old tricks, but this time he failed to fight Liu Ill, and after the failure of the rebellion, the Huo family was beheaded all over the house, and Huo Chengjun was also abolished, and died of illness twelve years later.

Liu Ai was already an emperor who had been imprisoned and grew up in the people, and he knew the suffering of the people, so after ascending the throne, he sympathized with the people and became a generation of Ming monarchs.

In 48 B.C., Liu died of illness. According to the tradition of the Western Han royal family, the emperor's mausoleum was to be built on the Xianyang Plain on the north bank of the Wei River, but Liu Ai had already set the mausoleum in Hongguyuan, south of Chang'an.

And Hongguyuan is the place where Liu Ai and Xu Pingjun often go out to play, because Liu Ai's mausoleum is called Du Ling, and since then Honggu Yuan has been renamed Du Lingyuan.

Directly south of Du's tomb, under a slightly smaller mound of sealed soil, it is his lifelong love Xu Pingjun who is buried. Therefore, "South Park Love" has also become a good conversation.

I am reminded of a writer who once lamented the story: "Maybe love at first sight is just a temporary whim of hormones in the body; Only the deep love of the sword is the long-tested appearance of love. Years are fleeting, but love is not old. ”

Who doesn't want to have a love that is old and old, I seem to be drunk in the story, I seem to be still in that dream, I see a person walking towards me, and I will meet again in the end.
