Volume 1 Encounters in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 39 Xue Guo Meets Qingtong
Bai Yao or Shu sighed deeply and said: "Hey, it turned out to be your grandfather's house, and the mysteries and secrets he engaged in along the way, aren't they very close to the country of the Yuan? ”
Feng Yuanchen said: "Hey, I'm always tired of being in the country, so let's play around by the way!" Feng Yuanchen approached Bai Yao or wrote a smile in front of him: "If it weren't for this, would you run into Xi Ruoshui?" After speaking, he touched Bai Yao or Shu again, and his eyebrows stretched out twice in the direction of Xi Ruoshui.
Bai Yao or Shu said honestly: "Brother Feng is reasonable, but..."
Feng Yuanchen interrupted Bai Yao or Shu and said, "No, let's go to Xue Kingdom!"
Xi Ruoshui seemed to be very interested in the carriages coming and going next to him: "These carriages are so interesting! I have never seen such carriages!"
Feng Yuanchen smiled mysteriously and said, "Wait a minute, let me show you that there is a gap between cars and cars!"
Since Bai Yao or Shu and his party approached Xue Guo, they felt that the style of the carriage here was different from other places, the speed was so fast and steady, it seemed to have the feeling of flying, and the carriage was dressed up in a simple and dignified manner, and the layers of silk were spread out, which was more upright and upright, which seemed to verify the prosperity of this place.
It turned out that this was the Xue Kingdom founded by the famous Xi Zhong, Xi Zhong not only had excellent martial arts, but also made people sigh. Although the Yellow Emperor invented the car, it is difficult for ordinary people to master the skills. Xi Zhong's transformation and invention of the car is very convenient, everyone can grasp it, was named the car by Dayu, and has the reputation of "car god".
The car invented and renovated by Xi Zhong spread far and wide, and most people only thought that Xi Zhong was a very outstanding craftsman, so that they ignored his achievements in martial arts and mechanical arts. Master dueling martial arts skills are very important, but what makes people unguardable are all kinds of mechanisms, hidden weapons, poisons, etc.
Xi Zhong passed to the generation of Zhong Yu (Yin Hui), and the Xue State reached its peak, Zhong Yu made suggestions for Shang Tang to establish the Great Shang Empire, and made great achievements in the east and west, and was worshiped as the left minister, and the right minister Yi Yin was equally famous.
Xue Guo is very humble in governing the country, his children are all dragons and phoenixes, knowledgeable and reasonable, and all Fang Guo is proud to marry Xue Guo's children. Not only is Ren Yushu, the queen of the Dang Kingdom, from the Xue Kingdom, but even a considerable number of emperors and concubines of the Great Shang Empire are from the Xue Kingdom, and the glory of the Xue Kingdom is simply unique.
However, Xue Guo adheres to the ancestral teachings, has always been generous and peaceful, and has not expanded its territory, and the territory has basically not changed for five hundred years, and these measures are even more in line with the thoughts of the emperors of the Great Shang Empire, and Xue has been prosperous like a city for five hundred years.
Feng Yuanchen said: "Do you want to enjoy it in the Xuan car?"
Bai Yao or book: "Xuan Che, what Xuan Che!"
Feng Yuanchen didn't speak, he walked to the guards at the city gate with a smug expression, Feng Yuanchen didn't know what to take out from the bag, the guards became quite respectful, and then took them to an open space, and then led out a four-horse copper chariot. Copper as the skeleton, hardwood as a supplement, Du Heng as a decoration, hibiscus a little bit, the carriage is square, the wheels are surprisingly large, the four white horses are majestic, people can't help but sigh, whoever sees such a carriage wants to go up and sit down.
Bai Yao or Shu and Xi Ruoshui were stunned, and then sat down very happily, which was even more warmly dressed, the unknown floral fragrance was very elegant, and it was soft and comfortable to sit on. The three horses followed behind, leisurely galloping towards the capital of Xue Kingdom.
Xi Ruoshui said: "This Xuan car is so beautiful, the first time I took a Xuan car, it is still such a Xuan car!"
Bai Yao or Shu Yinghe said: "Yes, I didn't feel a little bump." ”
Feng Yuanchen smiled proudly: "This is a four-horse Bailing Tongxuan car specially designed to receive nobles outside the city gate, but ordinary people don't have this blessing." ”
Xi Ruoshui said: "If you have a chance, I want to conjure one up like this!"
Bai Yao or Shu wondered: "Change?"
Xi Ruoshui said slowly: "Yes, it's a pity that there is no water here!"
Feng Yuanchen said: "How to change, how to change, how to change with water?"
Xi Ruoshui said: "Yes, there is a chance to conjure one for you!"
Feng Yuanchen said incredulously: "If you have a chance, I really want to see how you do it! This Xuan car is very unusual, right, coachman, what do you call it?"
The driver said: "Back to the young master, the old man's name is Ying Shang, and he has been driving this car for more than 30 years!"
Feng Yuanchen said: "It's been so long! I heard that this car is very powerful, what is different about this car?"
Ying Shang said: "This car called Bailing Tongxuan is not only fast, but also very stable, and this car has extraordinary defensive capabilities, that is, a master's full force can not be broken with a single blow, you see that although these parts are wood, but ordinary bows, swords, and crossbows cannot penetrate." ”
Bai Yao or Shu said: "Is it so powerful? Who made it?"
The coachman said: "This car is made according to the pattern handed down by Patriarch Xi Zhong, who was the first craftsman in the whole of China at that time. If it weren't for Master Zu's mastery of mechanical arts, who would have been able to create such a car, after nearly a thousand years, the car has basically not changed, but a few parts have been replaced with more durable bronze. Therefore, in the Xue Kingdom, although the martial arts are important, this organ technique is even more famous. ”
Bai Yao or the three of them admired Master Xi Zhongzu's face!
Ying Shang said: "I don't dare to say anything else, but you are right to come to this Xue Kingdom, especially at this time, it is really full of flowers, all kinds of strange things can be found here, and strange people and foreign objects are dizzying!"
Bai Yao or Shu said: "I have seen a lot on the way here, in the country of Yuanyu, many things are made of wood, but when I got here, I found that bronze is used a lot!"
Ying Shang said: "Bronze is stronger and more durable than ordinary wood! However, I heard that there are materials that are stronger than bronze, but it is difficult to mold!"
Bai Yao or Shu said: "Yes, I don't know!"
Feng Yuanchen said: "I heard my father say, it seems to be Xuaniron, but Xuaniron is difficult to produce! It is very suitable for making weapons, and there are only a few in our country, and they can only be cast by famous foundries!"
Ying Shang said: "In our place, bronze can make any component you want, which is much more convenient than Xuantie, you see that next to the street, many of them are made of bronze!"
Xi Ruoshui said: "Yes, it looks slow and exquisite! Some can even see their own appearance!"
Feng Yuanchen said: "What you said is a bronze mirror, Ruoshui, you have never seen it!"
Xi Ruoshui said: "It's really the first time I've seen it, it's pretty good!"
Feng Yuanchen said: "At that time, let that kid from the book choose a few for you!"
Xi Ruoshui nodded!
Ying Shang said: "The bronze mirror is very popular here, and the bronze mechanism is the heavy weapon of the Xue Kingdom, you can feast your eyes these days!
Xi Ruoshui said with Bai Yao or Shu: "So fast!"
Feng Yuanchen smiled proudly: "Don't look at whose car this is."
Bai Yao or Shu smiled: "Master Xi Zhongzu's car!"
Feng Yuanchen raised his head and said, "This is my grandfather's Fang country, my Fang country, and my car!"
The coachman said: "Young Master Feng, the old man can only send you here!"
Feng Yuanchen hurriedly took out a few strings of treasures and handed them to the coachman and said, "Thank you, old master!"
The coachman said, "Lord Feng Shao, don't be polite, but you don't dare to accept this treasure!" After speaking, he left very respectfully.
The closer you get to the national capital, there are more and more strange things, such as strange crosses, radial copper shovels, bronze and wood components, one-legged tripods, etc., and there are many wine shops in the city, and the goods are dazzling, and people come and go to a prosperous atmosphere.
This is the most prosperous Fang country that Xi Ruoshui and Bai Yao or Shu have ever seen, and they are attracted by the strange things here, and they keep looking for objects of interest on the roadside on both sides of the avenue, and the two of them are completely attracted by all kinds of objects they have never seen, and they can stay in a stall for a long time, Feng Yuanchen walked a small distance with half urging and half guidance.
The two unconsciously walked to a stall selling hairpins, full of all kinds of hairpins, including gold hairpins, silver hairpins, wooden hairpins, bamboo hairpins, etc., pure white like snow, smooth as jade, red as fire, with ingenious decorations are simply lovely!
A little girl with beautiful eyes like jasper saw someone coming, and immediately came to the spirit and introduced to them: "This is a golden hairpin with a cloud and phoenix pattern, the top is a cloud-like shape, and the bottom is engraved with a phoenix, which means that the phoenix returns to the nine heavens! This is a colorful butterfly dancing hairpin, and butterflies of seven colors are flying! This is a jade hanging fan stepping..."
Xi Ruoshui has never seen these beautiful hairpins, holding one hairpin after another and looking at it for a long time, the curvature of the corners of his mouth seems to want to take them away, and his eyebrows are full of love.
Bai Yao or Shu looked at Xi Ruoshui and was very obsessed with these hairpins, and always paid attention to these hairpins, hoping to choose a hairpin that suited her very well!
A red ink-colored wooden hairpin has attracted the attention of Bai Yao or the book, the ink color contains red, red glaze, round like jade, and the texture is particularly good. The wooden hairpin is divided into three sections, the end is short and the tail is long, and the end is carved with an ink phoenix, which is lifelike, as if it is about to fly out!
The little girl saw Bai Yao or Shu very concerned about this wooden hairpin and said: "A hundred birds fly in the morning sun, and the phoenix is breathing!" This wooden hairpin is made of plane wood, which has a lot to do with the phoenix, and I look very similar to my sister next to me!"
Feng Yuanchen looked at the wooden hairpin and said with interest: "This sycamore is good, but this sycamore wood is already very common, and it is no longer the sycamore wood of the original Phoenix Tour!"
The little girl said: "You are the legendary Sycamore Sacred Tree? That is the Divine Tree, only legends, who can see it? This Sycamore Wood material seems to be quite old, but it is much better than the ordinary Sycamore!
Feng Yuanchen said: "One hairpin is enough, what's the use of asking for so much!"
Bai Yao or Shu thought that Xi Ruoshui was very fond of these hairpins and said: "I think it's okay, buy a few more hairpins, you can change one a day!"
Xi Ruoshui seemed to be very happy and nodded kindly, and selected several hairpins!
Bai Yao or the book rummaged through his whole body and said, "Are these money shells enough?"
The little girl's face was very pleasant and said: "It's too much, one Qian Bei is enough!" The little girl took a Qian Bei and said, "Maybe there are more!"
Feng Yuanchen looked at the little girl suspiciously and said, "So cheap?"
The little girl said, "Yes, it is much better to choose the right hosta than to sell it to ordinary people!"
Feng Yuanchen looked at the little girl and said, "That's right, what's your name!"
The little girl said happily: "My name is Qingtong!"
Feng Yuanchen said: "Who gave you the name?"
The little girl named Qingtong said, "Myself!"
Feng Yuanchen said: "Qingtong, is it your first time here?"
Qingtong said happily: "Yes!"
Feng Yuanchen said: "Why are you here?"
