Chapter 39 Don't worry about it

Wushan City was named after Wushan Mountain.

Wushan is located on the north bank of the Huai River, and ten miles to the northwest is the world-famous Mochou Lake. There are mountains all around, winding and extending, and the city lord's mansion is located at the foot of Wu Mountain.

When a group of seven people arrived outside the City Lord's Mansion, they followed Mu Tiange's command and separately inquired about the news. After all, the seven people huddled together are too conspicuous, and it is easy to startle the snake.

Zhang Yi chose a restaurant opposite the City Lord's Mansion and sat on the third floor to drink slowly, he couldn't think of any good way for the time being, so he could only sit here and think about countermeasures.

Yu Muqing begged to see the city lord as a student of Far Eastern Academy, but he was driven out. Even if I claim to be a disciple of the White Horse Academy, it will be useless, and if I conceal my identity and sneak into the City Lord's Mansion, I am afraid it will be even more dangerous. What should we do now?"

"If Senior Brother Meng is here, there must be hundreds of ways to solve the problem. ”

Zhang Yi's thoughts drifted away, remembering the time he used to be in the Holy Courtyard. When he was in the Holy Courtyard, the closest person was Senior Brother Meng. Senior Brother Meng often lay on the trunk of a tree and chatted with him, saying that when he became an adult, he would take him to travel through the mountains and rivers of the Imperial Dynasty. The master always said that Senior Brother Meng was extremely talented and would definitely become a saint in the future, but it was a pity that the Holy Courtyard suffered from heavenly punishment and even the master disappeared.

"After this is over, I will definitely step up my cultivation and enter the Daoyi Academy as soon as possible. Zhang Yi secretly clenched his fists, "What happened in the 100,000 years after the Heavenly Punishment of the Holy Courtyard, I'm afraid only the Seven Great Sects and the Three Great Dynasties can know now." ”

“...... Where to go, the most important thing at the moment is to solve the chaos of the water demon on this trip. Senior Brother Meng only follows the word 'righteousness' in his life, and when he encounters injustice, he will draw a knife to punish evil, so I naturally can't lose his face. Zhang Yi retracted his mind, and getting rid of the water demon was a serious matter. It is a taboo for readers.

At this moment, a voice as gentle as water appeared in Zhang Yi's ears: "Zhang Gongzi is so sad, he must have encountered some difficulty?

Zhang Yi turned his head to look at it, with a look of surprise, Qiu Yishui stood at the table, Yingying was independent.

Qiu Yishui smiled, sat opposite Zhang Yi, took out the wine glass and poured wine for himself, then lightly opened his lips and took a sip of wine, and chuckled: "Why are you like this, you don't invite me to drink, you don't even let me sit?"

Zhang Yi knew that his behavior was a bit rude, so he hurriedly got up and saluted, and said, "Miss Qiu, you are being rude." However, how did you get to Wushan City?"

"You haven't answered my question yet, why are you embarrassed to ask me?" Qiu Yishui is completely different from her name, where is the gentle appearance of Qiu Shui Yiren.

Qiu Yishui was kind to Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi naturally had no reservations, and told all about what happened on this trip for a long time.

"I see. Qiu Yishui nodded lightly, "Since you can't think of a way for the time being, why don't you accompany me to Wushan Mochou Lake?"

Zhang Yi saw Qiu Yishui nodding, looking like he knew it well, and was about to ask her what to do. Who knew that Qiu Yishui suddenly said that he would swim in Mochou Lake together, which made him speechless, so he had to politely refuse: "If the water demon chaos is not solved, how can I have the heart to play." ”

"Dongshan Wenhui is a poem Zhenguo, and you made Mingzhou poems as soon as you arrived in Tianliang City, which shows that you are extraordinarily talented, but in my opinion, how can you be stupid like this......" Qiu Yishui shook his head again and again, making Zhang Yi really a little confused.

Qiu Yishui sneered, she really thought Zhang Yi was quite funny like this, and explained: "The purpose of your trip is to investigate the water demon, but now you haven't even found the water demon, what's the use of going to investigate the City Lord's Mansion?"

"This ......" Zhang Yi nodded, and what Qiu Yishui said seemed to have some truth. The city lord of Wushan is indeed very suspicious, but if he does not find the trace of the water demon, it still has no effect.

"You rushed all the way from Qingshui Pavilion to Wushan City, and you didn't even find a trace of the water demon. It shows that the water demon is not in the Huai River at all now. And Wushan City to the northwest ten miles is Mochou Lake, where the beautiful scenery is famous all over the world, there are literati to play at any time, you say, will the water demon appear there?"

Zhang Yimao suddenly opened his mouth and said loudly: "That's right, Brother Mu said that the water demon was seriously injured by Hanlin, and it will definitely eat people to recover from its injuries, since it does not dare to enter Wushan City, then Mochou Lake is an excellent choice." Let's head to Mochou Lake. ”

......

Mochou Lakeside Building, Xuan, Pavilion, Pavilion are staggered, weeping willows on the embankment, begonias are intertwined, the lake is rippling, and the blue waves shine on people. Chess building, tea room, river appreciation hall, water pavilion, Baoyue building, Guanghua Pavilion, winding path corridor, etc. are hidden in the green shade of mountains, rocks, pines and bamboos, flowers and trees. But Jue West Lake loses, and Jiang Fan shoots the pleasant scenery of "Yunfei".

Mochou Lake was known as Wushan Lake in ancient times, and its name originated from a beautiful woman thousands of years ago.

Mo Chou is a native of Wushan, who lost his mother at an early age and lives with his father. She is quiet, smart and studious, picking mulberry, raising silkworms, weaving, embroidery, and picking up everything. The neighbor's children are studying, she listens and remembers, not only knows some words, but also can chant a few words of poetry, and Mo Chou also learned the skill of collecting medicine and curing diseases with his father. When he was fifteen years old, his father unfortunately fell off a cliff and died on the way to collect medicine.

At that time, Lu Yuanwai was doing business in Wushan City, and when he saw Mo Chou's simplicity and beauty, he sympathized with her, so he helped Mo Chou take care of his father's funeral and brought her to Jiankang. After Mo Chou married and her husband, she was affectionate and loving, and gave birth to a white and chubby son in the second year, named Ah Hou. Although he lived a wealthy life, he often missed his hometown and his father, and only when he helped the poor to heal his illness, he felt happy and smiled. The poor people often say: We have sickness and pain, but when we see Mo Chou, we have no sorrow!

Lu Yuanwai was an official in Wushan City. One day, the lord of Wushan City heard that the peony flowers of the Lu family manor outside the west gate of the water were blooming, so he came to the house to enjoy the flowers in civilian clothes, only to see the peony flowers staggered like brocade, dazzling as the glow, Wushan City was shocked and intoxicated, so he asked the outside: Who planted this flower? Lu Yuanwai knelt down and replied: This is planted by his daughter-in-law Mo Chou. The city lord of Wushan couldn't help but feel excited, and immediately ordered Chuan Mochou to see him. When the city lord of Wushan saw Mo Chou's flower-like appearance, he couldn't help but be fascinated. After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, he couldn't sleep well, and finally came up with a poisonous plan, killed Lu Gongzi, and forcibly took Mo Chou as a concubine.

Mo Chou learned that he was filled with grief and indignation, and decided to die by throwing himself into Wushan Lake rather than being broken by jade rather than being complete. When the surrounding neighbors learned about it, they came to the lake to worship in pain, and they refused to believe that such a good woman would commit suicide by throwing herself into the lake. Some people say that they heard Mo Chou's crying late at night, and some people say that they saw a small boat falling from the sky and carrying Mo Chou away...... People deeply miss her, and in order to commemorate her, Wushan Lake was renamed Mochou Lake. When the lord of Wushan City heard the news, he felt ashamed, so he wrote "Song of the Water in the River": The water in the river flows eastward, and the daughter of Wushan City is not worried. Mochou thirteen can weave Qi, fourteen pick Sangnan Motou, fifteen marry the wife of the Lu family, and sixteen give birth to the word Ahou. Lu Jialan's room is a beam, there are tulips and Su Hexiang, twelve lines of golden hairpins on the head, five articles of silk shoes under the feet, coral hanging mirrors are rotten and bright, and flat-headed slaves are in the box. What do you want to be rich and prosperous in life, and you can't marry the king of the owner early.

Zhang Yi and Qiu Yishui walked on the shore of Mochou Lake, they waited here for two days, and did not see the water demon appear. Therefore, while enjoying the beautiful scenery of Mochou Lake, Qiu Yishui told him the origin of Mochou Lake.

"This woman named Mo Chou is really chaste and abnormal, what happened to that Wushan City Lord in the end?" Zhang Yi was indignant, such wicked people who relied on their power to murder their wives should be punished with capital punishment.

Qiu Yishui shook his head with a chuckle, and said, "That city lord is a member of the Southern Tang royal family, what else can he do? If it weren't for the people's resentment, he would just be forced to step down as the city lord and still get away with it." ”

"The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and this person should be cut with a thousand knives!" Zhang Yi said in a sullen voice.

Qiu Yishui was stunned when she heard this, and such rebellious words came out of the mouth of a nerd like Zhang Yi, which made her extremely surprised. She remembered Zhang Yi's life experience, and she was even more sympathetic, and immediately smiled: "If you enter high school and become an official in the court, I will ask my father to give you to tour the world and be a supervisor who asks for the people's life." ”

"That's very good. ”

Zhang Yi nodded yes.

After passing the entrance examination, the scholar will enter the court as an official for one year, which is called a service. Most Jinshi choose to go to various counties, which can reflect their multi-faceted abilities.

Only a small number of jinshi choose to enter the army or supervise history, and although these seem to be more valued, they are thankless and can easily offend people.

"Then again, Miss Qiu, you haven't told me yet, why did you appear in Wushan City?" Zhang Yi was quite curious about this matter.

Qiu Yishui sighed and smiled, "Forget it, I didn't want to tell you." But you're not a person who is afraid of things, so I'll make it clear. A few months ago, the mysterious organization in Longbow City reappeared, and I followed their trail to come here, and sure enough, I found you in Wushan City. I think their purpose is you. ”

Zhang Yi smiled.

"Miss Qiu, don't worry, Zhang Yi has been protected by you many times, so he will naturally live well and will not die easily. ”
