Chapter 177: The Immortal Gu Temple Fair, the Third Night's Birthday
"Hehe, Jiahe and Pink Bamboo are just ordinary crops! In this Shu Mountain, there is also a kind of wine bamboo that can produce its own wine! Look at that little green bamboo, that's it! Don't look at them as small and inconspicuous, but the bamboo branches are full of mellow wine, as long as you cut off a branch and insert it into the bottle, after a day, you can get a full bottle of wine, no need to ferment and brew......"
The man in white pointed out one after another, introducing many kinds of scenery that had never been seen in the north, and Li Yingqiong was dizzy and amazed again and again!
"Shuzhong Tianfu, the scenery of the southern country, is really very different from the north!"
Not only Li Yingqiong, but even the well-informed Li Ning was also amazed, originally the country of Tianfu in Shuzhong was famous for its abundant and rich production, and now there are more of these good varieties and good things from the open sea, which are naturally more rich and indescribable, so I couldn't help but sigh: "Guanzhong and Qilu were also rich places in the past, but compared with today's Shuzhong, it is too far away." Hey, there are too few of these good varieties from overseas, which are suitable for the north! ”
In recent years, most of the high-yield crops from overseas, such as Jiahe and Pink Bamboo, like heat and water, are not tolerant to drought and cold, so they are mostly planted in the south and rarely in the north. On the contrary, it is long-staple cotton, fast-growing grass, a kind of suitable fabrics, grazing crops are popular in the north, if not sweet potato, artichoke, potatoes and other high-yield crops, also in the north a large number of planting, mass production is quite abundant, but I am afraid that the grain output in the north will drop sharply.
"Oranges are born in Huainan, and oranges are born in Huaibei, and oranges are born in Huaibei. The climate and terroir of the north and south are different, and there is no way to do it! "The people in white have moved to Shuzhong for many years, and at the beginning they were also amazed by the richness of Shuzhong like Li Ning, but after seeing more, they realized that Jiahe and Fenzhu are highly productive, but they have high requirements for the terroir and climate, and other places cannot envy them. Therefore, he said, "Actually, it is much better now than before!" The genus of rice and wheat grains, even if the wind and rain are smooth, and a year of hard work, it is only two or three hundred catties per mu, and Jiahe, pink bamboo, etc., how much more than a thousand catties per mu? Even if the world cannot be planted everywhere, the food obtained is more than enough to feed the population of the world! ”
"yes, it's much better now than it used to be! The grain of the world is more than enough to feed the people of the world, but it is a pity that people's hearts are insufficient, and the desire is difficult to fill, and the richer the more they want to be greedy and take more, even if the grain in the world is ten times more than before, it is not the same as the rich have a full granary and are rotten, while the poor are still in debt and hungry......"
Li Ning sighed, his expression was gloomy, but when he saw the rich and wealthy scene in Shuzhong, he couldn't help but think of all kinds of experiences in the past, and he was suddenly haunted and couldn't let go.
Seeing that the eldest brother looked bad, the man in white seemed to have touched the wound, so he quickly changed the topic and asked, "What is the purpose of the eldest brother's entry into Sichuan this time?" ”
Li Ning shook his head slightly, sighed and said: "The world is corrupt, luck is like this, what other purpose can I have, it is nothing more than to find a secluded place to avoid trouble and live in seclusion." ”
When the man in white heard this, he was not happy, and said with a slightly wry smile: "If the eldest brother wants to find a clean place to live in seclusion, I'm afraid he has come to the wrong place!" ”
"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Li Ning couldn't help but be slightly surprised, and asked: "Xishu has many strange landscapes, beautiful mountains, many deep mountains and dense forests, and deep valleys, so there should be no difficulty in finding a place that is inaccessible and secluded!" ”
"What the eldest brother said, that's all the old yellow calendar!" The man in white smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "It's been three years since I came to Sichuan. At the beginning, just like the eldest brother, I wanted to find a beautiful scenery and a quiet and remote stone cave in the back mountain of Emei to live in seclusion. As a result, I went around Mount Emei, but found that the mountain was full of palaces and buildings, and several places suitable for seclusion had already been occupied! ”
"What's going on?" Li Ning was suddenly taken aback, he was displaced in the Central Plains, repeatedly hit a wall, and had already had the heart of opening up the world, only because of an inexplicable thought in his heart, he was concerned about coming to Emei in Shu to live in seclusion, but he didn't expect to encounter this situation, and couldn't help asking: "With the vastness of Emei Mountain, who can occupy it all?" Since the nearby place has been occupied, it is more difficult for us to find a place from afar. ”
"Big brother doesn't know!" The man in white shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Today's famous mountains and rivers are no longer pure places!" In the past hundreds of years, the world has been flourishing, the martial arts are fierce, and there have been countless swordsmen who have opened a faction in the mountains and demarcated the mountain gates. In this Emei Mountain, there are already seventeen swordsman sects to occupy the distance, and each has demarcated the scope of the mountain gate, so with the size of Emei Mountain, there is no owner! If we are latecomers who want to find a pure and borderless land to live inclusion, we have to trek hard and go thousands of miles into the barren land! ”
Li Ning couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard this, although he also knew that there were many sects in Xia today, and there were endless swordsman immortal sects and Taoist academies, but he didn't expect that there would be so many sects in this way, and even in a remote place like Xishu, there were so many sects to divide the mountain.
"Hey, the scenery in Shu is beautiful, and the mountains and rivers are strange, which is the first-class cultivation of the world. The smart people in the world are not only you and me, I didn't think much about it before, so I came in a hurry, but I was reckless! ”
Li Ning shook his head slightly, laughed at himself, put down these troubles first, and then asked the man in white: "In this way, I can only disturb the virtuous brother first, and then make plans after a while in Shuzhong." By the way, but I don't know where the virtuous brother lives now? You and I are both people who have avoided the land, have you ever changed your name or surname? ”
The man in white smiled and said, "Where does the eldest brother say, you and my brother, you don't have to be so polite." Although I have changed my name now, I have not changed my surname, and now I am a teacher in a Mongolian museum, and before outsiders, my eldest brother can call me Zhou Chun. ”
While the two were talking, the speed of the carriage was slowly slowing down, Li Yingqiong pushed open the window, stretched out her head to the front, but found that a fork suddenly appeared in front of the official road, the bustling flow of people was blocked above the fork, and the vehicles coming and going suddenly fell into the encirclement of the flow of people, and had to slow down, and a long queue of traffic was discharged on the official road.
"What's going on up ahead? Could it be that in this late autumn season, what temple fairs in Shuzhong will not be successful? ”
Li Ning also glanced out the window, but saw the crowd in front of him, men and women, helping the old and the young, crowded on the road as if rushing to a temple fair, and on both sides of the official road, there were many vendors and merchants who set up temporary stalls, shouting loudly to attract customers, which looked very lively.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be calm. We are also in a hurry, three days later, it is the birthday of the three night Niangniang, so the pilgrims from the surrounding ten miles and eight towns have come to the Xiangu Temple to burn incense and make wishes! This blocked the road, but the guest officers were not worried, and it would not be blocked for a long time. The driver was very familiar with the road conditions, so when he heard Li Ning's question, he hurriedly turned around and explained.
Li Ning looked up and looked ahead, and suddenly saw that on the road at the fork of the official road, there were countless pilgrims of all ages, young and old, who were bowing forward with a reverent face, and at the end of the road, the cigarette smoke was swirling, the bell chime was faint, and even from the treetops, you could vaguely see the corner of the palace view of the eaves and arches.
"It turned out to be the birthday of the third night Niangniang, no wonder it was so lively!"
Li Ning heard the driver's explanation and immediately understood. Although Sanxiao Niangniang is not the god of the society, but the legend of the Sanxiao Niangniang rescues the suffering, crosses the world to help people, these years from overseas all kinds of high-yield crops, all kinds of good prescriptions, life-saving medicines, it is said that all from the hands of the three Xiao Niangniang, so although there is no official organization, but countless people spontaneously build temples for the three Xiao Niangniang, from Shanxi to Qilu, from the Central Plains to the south of the Yangtze River, almost everywhere there are the fairy temples that worship the three Xiao Niangniang.
"Three nights of Niangniang bless the world, and the merits are immeasurable. Do you want a few guest officers to also go to the pillar incense and ask for a signature? The coachman was a very enthusiastic person, seeing that the pilgrims in front of him were gathered, and the carriage was inconvenient to walk, he simply talked with Li Ning and others: "Several guest officials are outsiders, and they may not know that the runes and spiritual signs of this Xiangu Temple are very effective, whether it is to ask for a son or a marriage, it is ......."
The coachman is very enthusiastic, but both Li Ning and Zhou Yu are chivalrous people, although they admire the merits of Sanxiao Niangniang very much, but after all, they are all catechumens, and they have always been respectful of ghosts and gods and incense, and naturally they are not willing to go to the incense to make a wish. On the contrary, Li Yingqiong is still young, and she is very yearning for the lively temple fair, but she really wants to go to the Xiangu Temple!
……
"Sister Gayin, shall we go to Sanxiao to watch incense and ask for a signature? Listen, the people of Shu have said that the runes and spiritual signs of the Three Nights View and the Xiangu Temple are very effective in seeking a son or a marriage! ”
Dugu Feng, who had just stepped off the rail car with Shenggu Gayin and stood on the platform, couldn't help but smile, and recommended places to Shenggu Gayin with a smile.
Shenggu Jiayin couldn't help but smile, couldn't help but glance at Dugu Feng, and said, "Whether it's the Three Nights View or the Xiangu Temple, isn't it all your incense in the world?" How can you find your own reason? Besides, even if you ask for a signature, isn't there still a real person like you! The Buddha is here, so why do you need to worship the statue clay puppet? ”
"Sister, this is wrong!"
Dugu Feng suddenly looked serious, and said seriously: "When others go to incense to ask for a sign, it is to beg for a statue of a clay puppet, and I go to go to incense to ask for a sign, it is better to ask for others than to ask for myself!" ”
Shenggu Jiayin couldn't help but be dumbfounded, but he looked at Dugu Feng carefully, shook his head slightly, and said: "Although what you said is very reasonable, I always feel that there is something wrong in this sentence!" ”
Dugu Feng smiled lightly and said with a smile: "Asking for relatives and children, it is naturally better to ask for others than for yourself!" ”
Saint Gu Jiayin's eyes turned slightly, and he immediately understood the meaning of Dugu Feng's words, and suddenly couldn't help but blush, glared at Dugu Feng angrily, and said: "Originally, I saw that your birthday was approaching, and I kindly wanted to give you a gift, but now it seems that forget it!" ”
