Chapter 7 Shun cultivates the foothills

Chapter 8 Departure Huaishui

In the morning, Zhang Li had already finished practicing a set of boxing techniques and a set of swordsmanship in the courtyard, and saw Wang Shao open the door with his head down, and slowly walked out of the door with his steps in a hurry, looking a little listless, so he stepped forward and asked, "Did Jing Lunjun sleep well last night?"

Wang Shao looked up and saw him, he wanted to raise his hand to salute, but when he heard this question, his hands stopped in the air awkwardly, and so far, he was still in a bit of a trance, and he really didn't want to wake up from his dream. Wang Shao raised his hand and cupped his forehead and said, "I was a little drunk yesterday and got up late." Let Xue Shangjun smile. “

When Wang Shao raised his hand, there was a trace of aroma on the sleeve of his shirt, although it was very light, the palm hat still smelled it, and the aroma seemed to have been smelled somewhere, and he couldn't remember it. Zhangjia said secretly, even though Wang Shao is only a scholar and has a dignified character, after all, he is a child of a family, and it is difficult to give up his romantic spirit. Seeing that there was a dark blue color under his eyes, he only said that he was not strong enough to drink yesterday and was drunk.

How did he know that Wang Shao was drunk, and he was obviously drunk in a dream.

"It's okay, I didn't rush the others. Rest today, no hurry. Hearing this, Wang Shao found that he was the only one in the courtyard, and he didn't see anyone else, not even the palm that usually followed him closely.

Walking to the living room, it turned out that everyone had already gathered here, and everyone was discussing what they had encountered in the tomb in the past few days, and they were expressing their opinions. When they saw the two adults walk in, they all got up and saluted.

A shopkeeper served tea, Wang Shao took a sip and said, "Please change a cup of strong tea." "He needs to get up to work as soon as possible. The little guy from the Ministry of Industry who followed next to him peeked at Wang Shao, and thought: "The son never drinks strong tea, why is this still incense today?" Wang Dao's family is the head of the family, but he follows Confucianism and has a very strict family education. Wang Shao swept to the little guy staring at him, and looked sideways "Huh?", and the little guy hurriedly lowered his head.

Everyone has gathered up all the things they have gained in the past two days, and is waiting for the next step.

Zhangli said to everyone that after lunch, we will set off for Huaishui. Everyone took the order. Zhangli and Wang Shao said: "If Jing Lunjun is still drunk for two days, it is better to go to rest and rest, it is still early at noon." Wang Shao listened and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm really fine." Palmsa looked at him and smiled.

Circling the water of the Huai River, passing the ancient city of Shouyang, and passing through the Bagong Purple Mountain, it is the Huaishui River. The group urged the horses to raise their whips, and soon arrived.

Huaishui, one of the "four desecrations". The river that flows into the sea is blasphemous. The blasphemer, the pass, so the pass through the dirt of China, the people's mausoleum, the cultivation of grains also. Jiang, tribute, treasures can also contribute. The river, sowing also, sowing for the nine streams, out of the dragon map also. Those who are Huai are also in their own affairs. Zhou Tianzi sacrificed the world's famous mountains and rivers, and sealed the five mountains and four desecrations. "Historical Records: Yin Benji" once wrote: "The east is the river, the north is the Ji, the west is the river, the south is the Huai, the four desecrations have been repaired, and all the people have a dwelling." ”

The second place of the crime is reported to be Shungeng Mountain next to this Huaishui. Shungeng Mountain, a palm-shaped peak, rises abruptly from the rolling hills, straight into the sky. Although it is not high, standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, there is also a sense of shock.

Zhangli looked around at the distant mountains and asked, "Is Shun Gengshan related to Emperor Shun?"

"Yes. This mountain is related to Emperor Shun. This mountain was originally called Lishan. Legend has it that in ancient times, Yu Shun traveled all the way from the north, and saw that this palm-shaped mountain range was lush and forested, the bamboo shadow was swaying, and there were fields in front of it, and there were rivers and lakes beside it, which could be cultivated, fished and pottery, so he settled down here. He not only taught the local people to learn agriculture, fishing, and pottery, but also knelt on the ground and cried to the heavens every day, sharing the crime for his parents and taking the blame for himself. Therefore, Shun's filial piety touched the heavens, and his reputation spread far and wide. After Emperor Yao, who was far away in the north, heard about it, he trekked through mountains and rivers, visited Shun in the south, and asked Shun to go down the mountain to assist the government, but Shun refused. Emperor Houyao repeatedly pleaded, Shun felt his sincerity, and went out of the mountain to manage the government. Emperor Houyao resolutely passed the throne to Shun. After Shun succeeded to the throne, he lived up to expectations, overcame thorns and thorns, cured smoke, removed floods, and opened up the prosperity of "Yao Tian Shun Land". And this place is also called Shungeng Mountain. “

After listening to Zhao Qi's introduction to the origin of the name of Shun Gengshan Mountain, Zhang Li sighed: "Sure enough, it is a secret place where the earth spirit is masterful." ”

Wang Shao was a little absent-minded all morning, and at this time he returned to normal. He said: "The Huai River, according to the mountains, low in the south and high in the north, dragon shape in the east and west, is indeed a place of feng shui." It's just that I haven't heard of rumors that there is a big tomb near Huaishui. ”

"Does Jing Lunjun still look at the art of Feng Shui Xuanling?" asked Zhangli, looking back

"No, no, no, I'm just remembering a few words from my friend and talking about it nonsense. When Wang Shao said the word friend, he subconsciously paused.

Everyone suggested that they take a break here, and by the way, they can also enjoy the beauty of this spiritual mountain. Wang Shao looked at the mountain for a while, but saw that there were several temple cornices faintly visible on the top of the mountain, which must be a place of worship for a certain religion.

The closest to this is the boundary of Huainan County. Huainan has been the king's fief since the Han Dynasty. The most famous is Liu An, the king of Huainan.

Entering the Huainan County Government, the streets are extremely prosperous, the shops are numerous, and the flow of people is bustling. There were people selling citrus on the street, and Wang Shao ordered people to sell some of the shares to everyone. He picked two big ones, rode his horse to the palm hat, broke the citrus into two, ate half of it himself, and handed the other half over: "The orange born in Huainan is an orange, and the orange born in Huaibei is a citrus." Choose Shangjun, I didn't expect that there would be citrus to eat in late autumn, and what is special about the taste of this orange. "The palm hat wanted to take it, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he saw some black paint on his hand, and remembered to hold the reins and gallop along the way, so he was a little hesitant to reach out to pick it up. Wang Shao seemed to see his hesitation, so he broke two petals with his hand and handed them to the palm of his mouth. Palm was a little surprised by the action, but after all, he was a veteran who had been through several stations, but his face did not change at all, he leaned over and opened his mouth to bite the orange petal, chewing it casually. In this way, you take a bite and I take a bite, and the two oranges are eaten silently, and Wang Shao urges the horse forward, and both of them don't say a word, as if nothing happened.

Looking at Wang Shao's upright figure on horseback, the palm hat was a little abrupt, and he didn't know whether to think blindly or not. The sweet orange fragrance in the mouth is still there...
