CH.044 Humility
After solving the problem of Gu Jingcao, the group set off for the Yue Guogong Mansion with the servants of the Guogong Mansion. Lingyun Town is about 7.8 days' walk from Wrestling Village, and the horse-drawn carriage can be reached in about 5 days.
When we arrived, it was early morning, and on the right side of the town pass was a hill that was inverted in a triangle with clear lines and a very holy look. At the foot of the hill is a temple surrounded by a fence, and the temple is hung with a plaque with several large characters written on it: "Mianyun Temple". It's a smoky temple, and across the street from the temple is the bazaar, where all kinds of stalls and vendors sell their wares and even some food. Yashan and the troupe went to the town's opera garden first, and the servants of the Guogong Mansion did not stop, but went to the Guogong Mansion by themselves, and they sat on the noodle stall opposite the temple and asked for a few servings of potato brocade powder to eat there.
Qu drunk while eating potato brocade flour while looking around.
At this time, the temple fence was opened, and an old man with a big broom was cleaning around the temple. Swept the front yard, swept the backyard, swept the front of the temple, swept the temple, and walked out of the temple with a broom, swept the street in front of the temple in public, because the dust was a little big, some dust flew, floated to the noodle stall here, the most side of a strong man walked in front of the old man, grabbed the placket of the old man's chest, and pushed it violently, the old man suddenly fell to the ground. Guanfeng stood up suddenly: "Auntie, I'm going to beat someone." Before Miaoxiang could speak, she spoke first after quitting drunkenness, "Don't worry, this person is going to be miserable." "Why?"
Quit drunkenness and smiled: "Look, an old man sweeps the temple, although the old man is inconspicuously dressed, but there are four or five young men in the same costume standing by the fence and watching. It's extraordinary, it's unusual!"
Before he could finish speaking, the four or five young men rushed up, and a few of the grapplers pushed his strong man to the ground. A young man lifted the old man up.
"Guogong, you dare to collide too?"
"Hurry up and kowtow to Guogong and admit your mistake. ”
The old man waved his hand, "Forget it." ”
The strong man was holding his neck and not kowtowing when he pressed it. "I'm not wrong, why admit it. What if he is a prince of the country? He sweeps the floor and raises ashes so that I can't eat. ”
The old man was not angry, waved his hand, and told his men to let him go. The young men let go of the strong man, and the strong man stood up, patted the dust on his body, bowed to the old man, and hurried away.
The old man did not sweep the floor again, and walked into the temple with a broom.
In front of the temple, there are several cedar trees, and the fine blue pine needles bloom like clouds on the branches, and the purple butterfly-shaped wisteria roses hang in bunches on them. A prosperous scene, the peaceful cigarette smoke rises in the niche in front of the hall, and the sound of the wooden fish of "dong dong" knocks into people's hearts one by one, accompanied by the pious Sanskrit chanting that the monks and masters in the temple do not understand.
"That's a nice sound. Guanfeng said.
"Do you understand?" said Guan Song, smiling.
"I don't understand, but it's still nice. "Guanfeng has one thing to say.
"Okay, let's clean up and go to the theater garden. Miaoxiang urged a few children.
The opera garden in Lingyun Town is not far from the Guogong Mansion, and I heard Yashan say that the emperor's appreciation of the opera will be performed on the stage built by himself in the Guogong Mansion. Between what happened to General Li in the opera garden last time, Yashan readily agreed.
After two days of rectification in the theater, Yashan took the whole class towards the Guogong Mansion.
The front yard of the Guogong Mansion is connected to the town street outside, and the shops next to it are lined up one after another, and the pedestrians are bustling. There is a circle of walls in the front yard, the wall is yellow, a small door is opened on the wall, the door is vermilion, there is a small plaque "Guogong Mansion" above the door, there is a street in front of the door, there are no trees and no stone lions, if it is not for the color inconsistency, Yashan doubts that he can't find the Guogong Mansion, he can't find a sense of grandeur at all, there are no carved beams and painted pillars or anything. For a moment, Yashan suspected that she was in the wrong place.
Knocking on the door, there are all kinds of flower pots in the front yard, the old man is sitting on a stool and trimming the flowers and plants, and a few young people are standing in a row against the wall, watching the old man repair the pruning scissors.
Yashan stepped forward and bowed: "Kokuko-sama is a thousand years old." The old man smiled and took Yashan's hand and looked at it carefully: "I heard that you have solved the scourge of Gu Jingcao in Wrestling Village. ”
"Yes, but the fairy spring water is no longer usable. ”
"Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and it will not be higher than the others. This spring water is not a mundane thing, and when the opportunity comes, it is naturally impossible to keep it, not to mention that someone has practiced witchcraft. ”
"Hex?"
"The left side of the door is witchcraft. It is not by chance that the grass roots become essence, it is someone who irrigates it with knowledge, uses charms, and uses manipulation to cause the mutation of the grain essence grass, which is a disaster for the village. ”
"Guogong is right, but unfortunately the spell has been taken away by the manipulator. ”
"There's no need to be a pity, the spell has been broken, so it can't be kept, so it's natural to take it away. ”
"The fairy water of the spiritual spring is no longer drinkable. ”
"If you should come, you should go, over the years, the villagers of Wrestling Village have benefited from it, not to mention that there is a tea wine brewed by Lingquan left, whether it is to think about it, to cure the disease, if it is just to survive, what if it is one more day, it is useless to have one less day. ”
"What the prince said is very clear, and the boy is taught. ”
"Juming, you take Lord Taichang Temple to the front two courtyards, and I'll change my clothes. The prince instructed the guards next to him.
The front yard is not very big, only a bend, is a huge archway, there is a couplet on it: "Brave and loyal, so that the world's famous doctors are bold; It was said that Guogong had saved the emperor with blood, and Yashan couldn't help but sigh.
Walking out of the archway, the two rows of azaleas in the front two courtyards are placed on the ground one by one, forming a road leading to the lobby. On the left side of the road is a stage with ropes drawn over the wide lobby. The rope is lit up and is very beautiful. On the right side of the road, there are several tables and stools for the Eight Immortals.
"My lord, the stage is here, the old man said, the gong will start again in the afternoon, and the adult can explain to his subordinates to make more preparations. The old man also told the little one to lead the adult to the front hall to drink tea and talk. ”
After Yashan explained the matter, I was afraid that the prince would inquire about the affairs of the wrestling village in detail, so he called to quit drunkenness and go forward together.
The lobby is connected to the front hall, and there is only one door in the middle, and there is no wall separating it, so people don't understand what the purpose of this door is. Without thinking much about it, Yashan habitually passed through the door, and there was no wall in the front hall, only the eaves sheltered from the wind and rain, as if it were a pavilion, but the eaves of this front hall were connected with the eaves of other rooms, but they did not look like pavilions. The antechamber is surrounded by water on three sides, and two small bridges have been built over the water on either side of the side to connect the rooms. The vestibule is furnished by the water's edge with chairs and stools. On the smaller side of the water, irises are planted, and the blue flowers resemble butterflies flying among the green leaves. There are two words written on the bridge, "Go Jiao". The window of the room on the other side of the bridge faces the lake, and there are seven-colored curtains floating outside. On the water surface on the opposite side, there are water chestnut leaves floating on the horizontal mirror, and the small bridge also has two words written "to be proud". The wooden eaves and bamboo panes hang down, but the water surface on the last side is very vast, and the lotus leaves full of ponds extend into the distance one after another, as if there is no end in sight. The lotus flowers in May have not yet opened, but only show small buds, standing slim in the middle of the turquoise. Guogong was sitting there knocking pumpkin seeds, drinking tea, and when he saw Yashan and them, he beckoned, "Sit." ”
