Chapter 8: The Dragon's Moan

Gu Yishao, after a fall, his ears were just touching the ground, and he didn't know if he had hallucinations in his head, and suddenly he felt that he had a dragon moan in his ears?

"Whew......"

"Roaring ......"

Whooping, roaring Gu Yishao's ears hurt, but he didn't dare to speak up when he heard these voices, and now everyone is making fun of him for being frightened by a female ghost in a dream, and now he is depressed.

They don't dare to say anything when they hear it, or they feel like they're confused again.

Tang Weiwei saw Gu Yishao and fell to the ground, so she hurriedly came to help: "What's the matter? Okay, why did you all fall, how did you walk? Do you say it hurts? Hurry up and I'll help you up......

"Well, it's okay......"

Gu Yishao took advantage of the situation, patted the dust, and said, "Haoran, you just said that there is a dragon under this tower?"

Lu Haoran said: "Well, I'm just talking about folk legends, is there a dragon, or is there a fish monster or anything that makes waves? The tower was shocked under the stage, and I don't know! I was just telling legends and telling stories, and you asked me like this, and you fell down again, got up again, and asked so solemnly, it really scared me, I really thought that there was a dragon, and it was suppressed under the tower......

Lu Haoran saw Gu Yishao, his face was serious, he really didn't dare to joke with him anymore, he was so dignified, you said such a big person, he fell while walking, and he wanted to laugh at him, who knew that he was so serious, and he said such a sentence together, and he listened to it in the clouds.

Tang Weiwei smiled: "Hehe, it's okay, let's go play on the tower, right?"

Lu Haoran saw that Tang Weiwei was happy, and he was naturally happy, as for Gu Yishao's neurosis, it seems that it has not been normal these days, so he cares.

Lu Haoran smiled and said, "Weiwei, do you know how many floors this tower has?"

Tang Weiwei smiled and said: "Hehe, you can still test me, this tower is in front of me, I can count it clearly, you wait for me, one, two, three......"

Lu Haoran said with a smile: "Hehe, don't count, let me tell you, this tower has a total of thirteen floors, and it is an 8-corner, 13-story hollow thick-walled pavilion-style brick tower." In the famous Chinese ancient architect Luo Zhewen and Chai Fushan's compilation of "The Grand View of Chinese Famous Towers", the Zhenhe Tower of Lingzhou in Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty is one of the 244 famous Chinese towers included in the book. There is no second Zhenhe tower found in the book. There is no second Zhenhe Tower along the Huangcheng City in the online search, so the Zhenhe Tower in Lingzhou is the only Zhenhe Tower along the Huangcheng City. Qing Kangxi Lingzhou Town River Tower, belongs to a feng shui tower. Another famous ancient architect, Zhang Yuhuan, in his book "Chinese Feng Shui Tower", listed Lingzhou Zhenhe Tower as the only feng shui tower named after "Zhenhe" in a city along the Yellow River in the country - Zhenhe Tower. ”

Tang Weiwei said: "Didn't you just say that Zhu Yuanzhang's sixteenth son came to build the tower? Why did it become the Zhenhe Tower in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty?"

Lu Haoran said with a smile: "Hehe, look at this, you look at what is written on the tower, that is, the tower was built in the Ming Dynasty, but as a result, the tower was destroyed by an earthquake in history, and it was re-talked about in the Kangxi period, so this tower is no longer in the Ming Dynasty, but it was rebuilt on the foundation of the Ming Dynasty......"

Tang Weiwei said: "Oh, so that's the case, I thought that the Yellow River was really the most flooded by the Yellow River, didn't I expect that only we in Lingzhou had this him, this is a bit magical......

Lingzhou City has been repeatedly flooded by the Yellow River since ancient times, from the 17th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1384 AD) to the 3rd year of Jingtai (1452 AD) in 68 years, Lingzhou City moved its site three times due to flooding. According to the Kangxi period, the "Reconstruction of the Zhenhe Tower Inscription" records: Lingzhou City is like a boat adrift in the river, the construction of the tower is like burying a wooden stake for the boat by the river, as long as the boat is tied to this stake, the city will never be washed away by the flood again. Although this is the beautiful yearning of the ancients for social stability, it also confirms the history of blood and tears in Lingzhou City that has been frequently flooded for more than 2,000 years.

Zhenhe Tower was built in the seventh year of Kangxi (1668 AD), and the tower and temple were completed at the same time in the 37th year of Kangxi (1698 AD). In the forty-eighth year of Kangxi (1709 AD), an earthquake occurred in Lingzhou, and the tower body was cracked. In the 57th year of Kangxi (1718 AD), another catastrophic earthquake occurred, and the Zhenhe Pagoda and the temple collapsed into ruins. Kangxi 58 years (AD 1719) in situ rebuilt, because of the natural disasters for many years, the grain harvest is poor, the financial resources are difficult, the tower body only built three layers in three years and stopped in the middle of the road. After 10 years of preparation, Yongzheng seven years (AD 1729) three times to start construction and rebuild, until Qianlong four years (AD 1739), lasted 20 years and finally built today's Zhenhe Tower. In the twenty-second year of Guangxu (1896 AD), the local gentleman Xu Xiang and others proposed that "no lower hall is not spectacular", and suggested that the lower hall should be repaired. After many recruitments, two years later, the middle hall and the lower hall were built in turn opposite the upper hall. After 1935, a gossip pavilion was built around the tower. At that time, the temple covers an area of 30 acres, the wall is two zhang high, there is a moat river more than one zhang wide outside the wall, and trees are planted on both sides of the river.

Tang Weiwei silently read the inscriptions on the tower body, and Gu Yishao also looked at these historical records.

Gu Yishao said: "Then there will be no floods after this tower is built?"

Lu Haoran said: "That's also strange, let's just say that she is two sisters, there is a tower that has been transformed, in our Lingzhou area, since the fairy sister turned into a tower, there has really been no flood disaster." ”

Several people walked through a huge sleeping Buddha at the bottom of the tower, and the eighteen arhats surrounding the sleeping Buddha, entered the stairs leading to the tower, and walked to the spire, Tang Weiwei smiled, and had to stand in the window and touch the wind chimes outside the tower.

At this time, the wind suddenly blew the wind chimes, "Woohoo......"

"Roar, roar, woo......"

Gu Yishao was deafening, he covered his ears all of a sudden, he didn't dare to listen to it, he couldn't hear this dragon moan, and he could break into his ears even if he covered his ears.

But why can't others hear it? Gu Yishao looked at Tang Weiwei who was still tentative, and asked Lu Haoran to hold her, wanting to touch the wind chimes, happy like a cheerful bird.

"Don't get it, it's noisy......" Gu Yi roared.

Tang Weiwei and Lu Haoran were almost scared to the outside of the tower.

"Ah, woo, mom is so fierce, scared me to death, I almost fell outside by your roar, this is the 13th floor, if I fall, you will lose me in your life......"

Tang Weiwei's crying pear blossoms with rain, and the pear blossoms on the old pear trees outside the courtyard wall of the tower, complement each other, very beautiful, pure white age, pure white pear blossoms.
