Chapter 4 Treasure Hunting

Chengdu Mansion, the capital of Shu, the soil is fertile, the people are prosperous, the people are beautiful, it can be described as the heavenly mansion, the suspicion of the wisps, the number of ways to take the view;

There are abundant people, prosperous business, and there are markets in December. At the end is the 'No. 1 Mansion in the Southwest'!

When Wang Yuanheng came to Chengdu Mansion, he was just in time for the February flower market in Chengdu Prefecture. Early in the morning, the banks of the Geumgang River are already lined with a variety of flowers for sale.

The shops in the city are even more lined up. As soon as the hour passed, the number of tourists on the road began to increase. There are powerful sons and brothers with fat brains and families, there are also rich ladies who lead maids and servants with shyness, and wealthy idlers who look around.

There was a poem: The dawn has heard that the flower market is together, and Jiang Ping has many prejudiced bamboo cards. For several years, take the Fangfei tree, and take the light to sleep without Sesebo.

And the Chengdu Mansion Yin of this place is also good to travel at this time, the scene is grand; for the color boat dozens of ships, the guest curtain is divided into the multiplication, there is a beautiful singer and a geisha singing in front of the lead, along the Jinjiang River from west to east, until late at night before dispersing.

There are poems as evidence: spring outings to thousands of homes, beauties are like flowers. Threes, threes, twos and twos reflect the flowers, fluttering as if they want to ride the haze.

There are poems again: the moon curtain roll at night on the willow embankment, and the spring breeze in the flower market. The grandeur and prosperity of the flower market can be seen.

Wang Yuanheng came to Chengdu Mansion according to the picture of Zhuji, and after first finding a hotel to live in, he hid in the guest room and studied the sheepskin.

The sheepskin shows that the next place to go is a large bird with wings ready to fly. What is this place?

Wang Yuanheng muttered. Just as he was thinking about it, Xiao Er pushed the door in and told him that it was time for dinner. Dinner is in the lobby on the first floor.

When I entered, I saw that the place was already overcrowded, including well-dressed rich children, well-dressed businessmen, ordinary people selling flowers on the streets, and military soldiers with bright clothes.

All kinds of people, etc., all of them are complete. After Wang Yuanheng finished eating, he remembered the doubts in his heart, so he asked Xiao Er in the store if there was a place like a big bird nearby.

Xiao Er refused to say at first, and after Wang Yuanheng made some silver, he told Wang Yuanheng that there was a 'Lingyun Mountain' hundreds of miles southeast of here, and there was a Vermilion Bird Peak on the mountain, which was a big bird.

After asking for clues, Wang Yuanheng returned to the guest room and fell asleep. Lingyun Mountain, located in the territory of Guozhou. The mountain is high and steep, the forest is lush; the four peaks on the mountain are very peculiar, the name is called the green dragon, the white tiger, the red bird, the Xuanwu, and the seat is in harmony with the mystery of the 'left green dragon, the right white tiger, the front vermilion bird, the rear Xuanwu', and the "four images and five elements", which are completely natural;

Because the mountain is strange and beautiful, it attracts the monks, the Buddha, and the Taoist three families to build temples on the mountain. In the afternoon of this day, a person hurriedly walked under the Suzaku Peak in front of the mountain.

I saw him sometimes look around, sometimes take out an object from his arms and keep comparing them. Not bad!

This person is Wang Yuanheng, who came here to hunt for treasures. At this time, he was carefully looking at the Vermilion Bird Peak at the bottom of the peak, this Vermilion Bird Peak is located on the front bank of Lingyun Mountain, condescending, and the momentum of spreading its wings is indeed very similar to the big bird on the 'Zhuji Map';

Seeing that it was not too early, Wang Yuanheng began to search all the way to the peak. The mountain road was rugged and extremely difficult to navigate, but fortunately, the forest was lush and there were many branches, and Wang Yuanheng was in good health, and in a short time, he reached the summit of Vermilion Bird Peak.

There are even more strange stones on it, except for a few heroic and upright ancient cypress pines, the scenery is clear at a glance.

After Wang Yuanheng searched for it, he still found nothing. In desperation, he took out the 'Zhuji Map' and looked at it.

I saw that above the big bird, there were two proverbs written in the picture: 'The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring stone is upstream'. With an idea, I searched again for the position in the middle of several pines and cypresses.

But it was a mountain wall, and there was nothing but hard rock. Thinking of the first half of the proverb, I couldn't help but silently muttered in my heart, bright moon, bright moon, count the days, the day after tomorrow is the day of the full moon, could it be that this mystery is in this full moon?

I couldn't figure it out, and my belly was already thundering, hungry and thirsty. Simply go down the mountain first, eat and drink enough to nourish your spirit, and come back to find out the day after tomorrow.

After making up his mind, Wang Yuanheng went down the mountain along the same road, and came to 'Gaoping City' on another path.

Although this 'Gaoping City' is not big, it is located in the traffic of 'Shudu in the west, Hubei and Chu in the east, and Sanqin in the north', and there are many merchants who come and go from the south to the north, so it seems to be unusually prosperous here; the street has been pedestrians, in addition to the rows of shops on both sides of the street, there are also some hawkers selling along the street from time to time.

Fortunately, the city gate was not closed, so Wang Yuanheng first found a hotel to stay in after entering the city. After hastily eating some food, I went back to my room and fell asleep.

It wasn't until noon the next day, when Xiao Er reminded him that it was time to eat, that he woke up. When I got to the hall, I saw that it was already full.

There were three Taoist priests, two men and one woman, sitting at a table inside, and at the table next to him, Wang Yuanheng quickly twisted his head to the side as soon as he saw it.

At that table sat the 'Taihu Lake Five Ghosts'! At the table with them sat a handsome-looking man with a few entourage, and this person was very handsome and weak.

After looking around for a week, Wang Yuanheng sat down at an empty table next to Brother Gongzi, ordered a few random meals and ate them by himself.

While eating, an elderly beggar walked into the hall. The old beggar was about sixty years old, with sallow and wrinkled skin, and his hair clinging to his bones was sparse and dirty.

It looks like I haven't taken a shower in a long time. His face was haggard, his eyes were sunken into a large socket, and his large yellow-black teeth were exposed, making him feel a little sick to see.

He was dressed in ragged clothes with several cuts torn through them. The cloth at his knees was worn out, perhaps because he had knelt too much during the begging, and he was skinny and bone-thin and held a cane in his claw-like hands.

It wasn't so much that he was on crutches, but rather that the crutches supported him. He was also carrying a rag bag of unknown color.

Seeing the beggar come in, the shopkeeper hurriedly reported to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper is a fat man with a fat brain and a fat face, and he is napping at the counter at the moment.

He looked up and wanted to tease the old beggar. So, as soon as he walked out of the counter, he greeted the old beggar and said, "Old guy, what will you do, show it to the master twice",
