Chapter 109: Gourd Immortal under Gourd Mountain
Once the flood pours down, the old turtle spirit will definitely come out of the water, which is very bad for it.
The people on the shore still couldn't do anything with the old turtle essence, and in the end they actually brought buckets of aqua regia and poured them all into the water.
This is also a common trick used by people in the panmen.
As soon as the aqua regia was poured into the river, it immediately crackled. I felt uncomfortable in my heart, and I could imagine how much pain the old turtle spirit was suffering from being corroded by aqua regia.
The old turtle is in pain, and I can empathize with it. It struggled in the river in pain, and this old turtle essence that had been deposited for thousands of years finally broke out.
He jerked out of the river and crawled up to the shore.
Once out of the water, its movements became much sluggish, and the gunshots rained down like raindrops, and some people even kept pouring royal water on him.
The old turtle was in great pain, and finally failed to make it to the shore. It was dying, it was really going to die, and there were traces of corrosion from aqua regia all over its body, green smoke billowing out, and even a strong smell of barbecue in the air.
The desertion was also distressed: "I'm cĒo, these animals are not even as good as animals, and even animals refuse to let go,"
There's no point in staying any longer, we can't save the old turtle spirit, it seems that he really can't survive.
I sighed and patted the desert on the shoulder: "Forget it, let's go." ā
Desertion said, "Did you get what we wanted?" ā
I nodded, "Got it." ā
This place was designated as not a place to study the Warring States period of literature, so we walked all the way to the west, and finally came to a small county town. In a small county town, I rented a small hotel.
As soon as I entered, I couldn't wait to take out the clothes that the weaver girl gave me.
After careful inspection, it was discovered that the Warring States brocade was embroidered on the new dress. You can't see it from the outside, you can only see it from the inside.
The Warring States Wenjin is ancient, and it is a little decayed, but the weaver still embroiders the Warring States Wenjin on the top of the clothes, and the broken places are also sewn with very small stitches.
The handwriting on it is still clearly visible.
Boping has been a famous area since ancient times, and the long river has been connected to Guoyu. Dai Zong was in the god area yesterday, and he was still in the corner of the gods.
As soon as he saw this line of ancient poems, he immediately had a headache: "Damn, I'm most afraid of this ancient poem, what does this poem mean?" Liu Yang, you are a cultural person, give us an analysis. ā
I nodded stubbornly.
To be honest, I also have a little headache when I see this line of ancient poetry, after all, I study ancient characters, not ancient poems. Therefore, in terms of interpreting ancient poems, I can only use the knowledge of college and high school in my memory.
I am almost certain that in the years I have been studying, I have never been exposed to this poem, which means that the poem is not very famous.
However, I can still find some important points from this ancient poem. Boping, at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Boping specifically referred to the place where we are now, the junction of the three provinces.
The famous area, the Dongchangfu District here is indeed quite famous, Dongchang Ancient Building, Shanxi Hall, Guangyue Tower and so on.
But what the latter two sentences mean, I really can't understand for a while, and I can't help but have a headache.
I can't figure it out even if I can explain it, but what does it mean? It's impossible to figure it out.
I simply stopped thinking about it and continued to search for the dress.
Wang Zhengtai said that Zhiniang would guide us to a place, and Zhiniang must have hidden this information in her clothes.
We quickly found what Weaver Niang had left for us, and she wrote it directly on her clothes.
"Gourd Fairy under Gourd Mountain!"
A few of us looked at each other, the gourd fairy under the gourd mountain, what do you mean? Let's go to a place called Hulu Mountain and find Hulu Xian?
This gourd fairy must be the name of the person who refers to it, don't care about it for now, the top priority is to find Hulu Mountain.
However, we inquired, and we were disappointed. There is no place called Hulu Mountain here.
This weaver girl really gave us a big mystery, and we couldn't guess the answer to the riddle.
After thinking about it, I finally listened to my opinion, and we simply went to Dongchang District together, which is the place mentioned in the poem above.
In that place, you may be able to find a clue to "Hulu Mountain".
The ancient city of Dongchang has countless places of interest and historic sites. Guangyue Tower, Shanxi Hall and other ancient buildings of national civilization.
We had a big meal and then found a hotel to stay in. We were so tired that we didn't even have the heart to go sightseeing.
It wasn't until about ten o'clock the next morning that we finally slept and ate and drank again, and then we went out to look for clues.
We inquired a few more people, but they didn't know where the "Hulu Mountain" was. I had to wander around this scenic area.
The towering iron tower, full of steel, was built in the Song Dynasty, after hundreds of years of wind and frost, it is still majestic.
Guangyue Ancient Building, after all the vicissitudes of life, stands in the middle of the scenic spot. Countless talented and beautiful people have left good stories here, and even Emperor Qianlong has climbed the ancient building three times, admiring this scene only in the sky.
Shanxi Guild Hall, where businessmen from the south, east and northwest gather to discuss business. From south to north, build up the seven-star stove, boil the three rivers in the copper kettle, and give birth to the rich Confucian merchant civilization here.
This scenic area is even larger than a large village. There are ancient buildings that have survived from ancient times, and there are also modern retro buildings, and the combination of ancient and modern civilization brings people a shock that words cannot describe.
We were dumbfounded, and involuntarily toured the entire scenic area, almost forgetting the task on our bodies.
We inquired, but no one knew where the "Hulu Mountain" was. However, we got a useful information, that is, Dongchang, that is, Dongchang gourds are abundant here.
Hulu Mountain, will it be a merchant who grows gourds? After thinking about this, we immediately asked if there was a place to grow gourds nearby.
And we inquired that basically the raw materials of Dongchang gourd come from the "Zheng family".
Zhengjia is a small town in Dongchangfu District, when we came to Zhengjia, we found that this is a lush village market, the market is full of people, all kinds of handmade jewelry emerge in endlessly, we are dazzled.
Li Xueqin is a person with rich experience and has experienced no less things than us. But she is a woman after all, so she can't put down these jewelry, and she can't help but buy a lot.
Of course, the most abundant goods here are still gourds. There are finished products and semi-finished products. The technique of openwork carving reached a peak here, and we even found a small gourd carving the whole village with the art of carving it.
We inquired and learned that the gourds were planted in the western farming area. However, now is not the season to plant gourds, and when we arrived, we found that the field was desolate, only dry and panicked gourd plants.
I still didn't find any clues about Hulu Mountain all day, so we had no choice but to return to our accommodation.
However, when we passed by the Guangyue Ancient Tower, we were surprised to find that there were LED flashes on the Guangyue Ancient Tower.
The flash light formed the shape of a gourd, could it be that this is the legendary "gourd mountain"?
The gourd fairy on the gourd mountain, is the gourd fairy on this gourd mountain? That is, on the Guangyue Tower?
I was so excited that I wanted to climb up and have a look. But now it's full of traffic and too many people. Moreover, this Guangyue Tower is not open to the public, so if we want to climb up, we can only sneak up in the middle of the night when no one is around.
After making up our minds, we immediately went back to the hotel to rest and prepare to come back in the middle of the night.
At two o'clock in the middle of the night, we arrived on time. The air here is still a little cold, and the LED decorative lights are still flashing, but there is no one here.
The four walls are steep, and there are no stairs at all, so it is basically impossible to climb them without the help of external objects.
Fortunately, we had already prepared, bought a climbing rope, tied a hook to one end, and hung the hook on the top of the city wall, and then we climbed up the city wall.
Li Xueqin's female stream, just stay below. We climbed up so easily, already exhausted and out of breath.
