Chapter 7 The first entry into Yecheng
This story is pure fiction
In this way, half a year passed day after day in the cave, and the hair grew a lot, and it was possible to tie a small round ball.
On this day, when the day was about to fall, the clear space was outside to collect clothes. Not far away, Uncle Ge was walking towards the cave. Uncle Ge walked in front of the clear space and said to the clear space: "Sunrise, the government is now loose under the mountain, I inquired with you about the Tianji Academy, near this Yecheng, there is no Tianji Academy." I'm asking you about it one day. I'll just tell you, I'll go back, your aunt is still waiting for me to eat, or you go home with me to eat, your aunt has finished the meal. Then I can also tell you about the situation at the bottom of the mountain. ”
Jingkong thought for a while, and replied to Uncle Ge: "Okay, Uncle Ge and I will go home for dinner, and this will trouble Uncle Ge and Aunt Ge again." ”
Uncle Ge said with a smile: "Look at what your kid said, he treats you as a family, so you don't have to be too polite." ”
Then, Jingkong followed Uncle Ge home.
When I arrived at the door of Uncle Ge's house, I smelled the aroma of food.
At this time, I saw that the dog baby was still playing in the yard, and the clear space said hello to the dog baby, "Hello dog baby!" "Hello Brother Sunrise, are you here to play with me?" "Yes, I'm here to play with you, and when I ask your dad something, I'll play with you." Clearance said.
Then, the dog baby played on her own.
Uncle Ge smiled beside him, and then brought the clearance into the house.
Aunt Ge has already prepared the meal. Seeing that the clear space also came, he said: "The sun is rising, just right, hurry up and eat, this meal is ready." He turned around and shouted to the outside of the house, "Dog, hurry up and eat in the house." ”
"Okay, here!" Outside the house, the voice of a dog baby was heard.
After the dog came into the house, everyone began to eat.
After the meal, Aunt Ge cleaned up the dining table. The dog baby wanted to play with the clear space, and the clear space said that he wanted to talk to his father and let him play first.
"Uncle Ge, what's the situation at the bottom of the mountain now?" At this time, the clearance spoke first.
"Now that the soldiers of the imperial court have been in Chang'an, the official servants are not so strict, and it is not good to arrest monks and Taoists, so the people in the government are turning a blind eye. It's almost a fake ornament at the city gate, and it's just a poll tax at the city gate. ”
After listening to this, Jingkong lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "Uncle Ge, I want to go down the mountain, the master handed me something before he died, and it gave me a hint from above, it is Tianji Academy." I want to find this Tianji Academy, I have to complete the things that the master told me. ”
"Sunrise, you go, when you go, ask your aunt to pack you some dry food to eat on the way. If you find a ministry and come back, you will make this place your home. Uncle Ge said kindly.
"Uncle Ge, I'll go back and pack up first, and prepare to leave tomorrow." Jingkong said to Uncle Ge.
"Okay, go back and rest early, and leave tomorrow."
After saying goodbye to Uncle Ge, Aunt Ge, and the dog baby, Jingkong returned to his cave.
Early the next morning, he packed his luggage and came to Uncle Ge's house.
"Uncle Ge, Aunt Ge, I'm here and gone, and when I'm done with the things that the master has explained, I'll come back to see you."
"Go, boy! Here's some dry food that you take along the way to eat. There is also some silver, not much, you take it, and use it on the road. Uncle Ge said reluctantly, Aunt Ge was standing aside, a little reluctant.
"Thank you, uncle and aunt, I will come back to repay you. You two elders, take care of your health. Jingkong said with tears in his eyes.
"You don't have to repay or not, as long as you press it safely outside, come back as soon as you're done." Uncle Ge said.
"The dog baby takes care of your father and mother at home, and I will come back to play with you when I finish my errands." The clearance said to the dog.
"Brother Sunrise, you can rest assured to go about your own business, and when it's done, come back and play with me." I'll take care of my mom and dad. The dog baby said like an adult.
After saying goodbye, he waved to Uncle Ge's family and walked down the mountain.
Uncle Ge and his wife saw that the clear space was far away before slowly walking back to the house, "I hope this child is safe outside." Aunt Ge said worriedly as she walked into the house.
After going down the mountain in the clear sky, I walked in the direction of Yecheng, and walked for about five or six hours before arriving at Yecheng, and when I arrived at Yecheng, it was dark, and the gate of Yecheng had already been closed. Jingkong found a small forest on the edge of the city to deal with it for a night, and then entered the city early tomorrow morning.
Just after the end of the day, the sky was bright. Clearspace got up from under the tree, ate some dry food, and walked towards the city gate.
The city gate has not yet opened, and many small traders have gathered outside the city gate to catch the market. Some are chattering there, and some are still catching up on sleep.
As soon as the hour came, officers and soldiers opened the city gates. As soon as the city gate was opened, the officers and soldiers stood in two rows at the city gate, checking the people entering and leaving. Not much stricter either. Those who did not bring the goods were checked and released, and those who brought the goods were released after paying five cents. The clearance belonged to the one who did not bring the goods, so he checked his baggage and let it go.
This is the first time to enter the city, from childhood to adulthood, the clear space has always stayed in the temple, and has never gone down the mountain.
When the clearance entered the city, although it was morning, there were not many people, and it was quite magnificent for the clearance space that entered the city for the first time.
Yecheng is the first capital city in China to be built in a step-by-step manner according to urban planning. Emphasizing the central axis arrangement, neat and symmetrical, and obvious zoning, the future generations of capital planning are all based on this. The city is 7 miles from east to west, 5 miles from north to south, and there are 7 gates on all sides of the outer city. An east-west street in the city divides the city into two districts, north and south, with a government office in the middle of the north district and a garden in the west, which is the Tongque Garden. The southern district is mainly residential, commercial and handicraft areas. There is a Chi road near Yecheng by land, and there are Licao Canal and Baigou that connect Zhang, Huan, Qishui and the Yellow River by water. The four suburbs have vertical and horizontal canals, convenient irrigation, and developed agricultural production. "The capital is surrounded by Xishanyang, and the mulberry elm is long and the Zhanghe River meanders", which writes the scene of Yecheng's prosperity by the mountains and rivers.
Jingkong was stunned by this beautiful scenery, and he must have been in a daze for the first time he entered the city. At this moment, a child in tattered clothes hit the clearance and ran away.
It doesn't matter what kind of child it is, it's about fifteen or sixteen years old, about the same as the clearance.
Jingkong didn't care too much, thinking about where to inquire about the news of Tianji Academy. Then he touched the Jade Buddha in his arms, who knows, the Jade Buddha is gone......
