In a twinkling of an eye, the time has come to the end of October. Because of the eight rivers surrounding the city and the canals passing through the city, the weather of Qianyuan City, the capital of the emperor, has become a little cold and humid. Although it has not yet snowed, the north wind is blowing cold all over the city.
The entrance examination, which lasted for three days in a row and made many of the students in the school panic, ended at this time. The old students were all packing up, or preparing to return home, or making an appointment with three or five friends to go somewhere to experience. This year's new students are still in the school, waiting for the boat of Fengming school. According to the rules of Fengming school, the school will go camping on the Bank of Yusi Lake in the first year.
But the end of the exam, or let the students are relieved, at this time the whole school is a lively scene.
More than two months ago, the rebellion of the eighteen Marquis's house was no longer mentioned. After the three-day banquet, the Ministry of punishment, Dali temple and Yushitai sansiming hall held a joint trial, and all the lineage relatives of the eighteen Marquis were killed, and their property was filled into the Treasury of the Ministry of household. The rest of those who disobeyed were sentenced to hard labor. Although the Emperor didn't get involved, the blood flowed out of Chaoyang Gate after the Dongping rebellion 20 years ago. At first, the people in the capital were shouting and scolding, but later they were all pale and fighting.
From the establishment of the state by Da Qian to the present 18 Marquis's houses, even if only the lineal relatives were killed, there were thousands of people. It was the emperor's mercy that let those collateral relatives go. The biggest rebellion since the founding of Daqian came to an end. And the eighteen Marquis's house is also buried in the dust of history.
"Lu que, what are you still doing? The Xuegong boat will leave in an hour." Today is the day when the first year students of the Academy set out for Yongning County. Zhuge Yan, Duanmu ye and Lin Qingyu, who got up early, had breakfast, but Lu que did not come out of the room. Zhuge Yan, who was about to arrive, knocked on Lu Que's door. Although Hegang was not far from Fengming academy, it took less than half an hour to get there. Besides, it was too late to get on the boat.
However, when Zhuge Yan entered Lu Que's room, he found that Lu que was taking apart the package he had arranged yesterday and was reorganizing it. The original clothes and books had been thrown aside. At this time, Lu que was loading the package with bottles of medicine and some portable food and water bags.
"What are you doing with these? We're going camping, not fighting." When Zhuge Yan came near and saw the names of the drugs on the jade bottles, he couldn't help looking puzzled. He also saw Wuyou powder. He really didn't understand why Lu que took these things when he just went camping in Yusi lake for three days. Especially the bottle of Wuyou powder, which is very rare that even the strong of Lingtai can be charmed.
"I know." Lu also knew that there was not much time, so he took two winter hunting suits and a few ingots of silver and threw them into the package. He tied the package well. Then he said, "after I've been to Yusi lake, I won't go back to the capital. I want to go out and experience."
"Not going back to the capital? Where are you going to experience? " Zhuge Yan asked curiously.
"To the south." Lu said without raising his head.
"Nanjing? What's there to go there? Why don't we go to Shahai with the camel team? It's said that the folk customs there are very open. Let's go and experience it. " Zhuge Yan licked his lips when he thought of the rumor that Shahai people would treat distant guests with beautiful women.
"Have you forgotten the magic heart array?" Lu que took a look at Zhuge Yan and hid the twelve throwing knives that uncle Feng Yu had made in Fengxiang army. After thinking about it, he opened the package and put the pottery flute on the shelf.
Zhuge Yan's mouth twitched when he heard the words. The experience of the illusory heart formation was unforgettable to him all his life, especially the feeling of body collapse and weak legs after he came out of the formation.
"Well, let's go." Lu que looked around and said, without missing anything.
The ship of Fengming academy is specially used to transport students. It is divided into many four person cabins for students to rest. It can be allocated according to the students' residence in the Academy. Because Lu que is the chief of the Academy, his cabin is at the top of the ship, which is a little larger than the ordinary cabin, and his vision is much better.
From the capital to Yongning County, you need to go through the capital canal to the North-South canal, then go south to the Changqing River, and then go east along the Changqing River to dayusi lake. The whole voyage will take about four days.
The cockpit of Lu Que's four people is A-3. Some people want to come to the two cabins of A-1 and A-2, which should be taken by the eight platoon divisions accompanying this trip. Because Yongning County is in the heart of Daqian, it's only a hundred and eighty miles away from Xiajing Qingquan City, and it's even closer to Yongning County city. The school doesn't have to worry about the safety of its students, so it doesn't send more skilled students to stay with it.
The four entered the cockpit, put their belongings on the bed and began to tidy up. Because I have to stay on the ship for four days, I still have to take out some clothes to change and books to pass the time.
"Second brother, why are you so quiet today?" Lin Qingyu takes out a pharmacopoeia that introduces the characteristics of herbal medicine from the package. However, he finds that he can always find out the topic and activate the atmosphere. In his eyes, Zhuge Yan, the second elder brother who is good at dancing, is very quiet today. After entering the cabin, he sits in a daze on the bed and does not know what he is thinking.
"Yes, Zhuge, what are you thinking about? Tell me." Duanmuye also found zhugeyan's strange appearance.
"Lu que said that after he had been to Yusi lake, he wanted to go south for training. I was wondering if I wanted to find a place for training as well." Zhuge Yan looked at Lu que who was making the bed and said.
"Lu que, do you want to go south for training? Where are you going Lin Qingyu asks curiously that the first-year students of the school can go home after camping in yusihu. Unexpectedly, Lu que has to go for some training. You know, although Lu que has never made any breakthrough since he came out of the mountain and sea paintings, his accomplishments are still the highest among the students of the year. In his opinion, it only takes time for him to accumulate his qualifications. There is no need to go out for training.
"I haven't thought about it yet. I want to go to Qingquan city first. It's said that Qingquan, Tianquan, Xiangquan and wensiquan are the best in the world. As for later, let's have a look."
"I've heard that there are four wonders in Qingquan City: Qingquan wine, Xiangquan tea, Tianquan dishes and hot spring bath. I don't know what it is like." Duanmuye also became interested. He grew up in Northern Xinjiang. He was also famous for Xiajing Qingquan City, one of the nine imperial capitals in the south.
"Why don't the four of us go and see it?" Zhuge Yan's eyes lit up when he heard about the hot spring bath. He had heard about the hot spring beauty bath in the dance shop for many times. He was also very excited when he thought of the scene of the pool with clear water and beauty.
"I can't go." Duanmu wild is also some heart, but it is shook his head.
"Why?" Zhuge Yan asked, learning Duanmu Ye's northern accent.
"I haven't been home for more than a year. After camping, I will go back to Hanshan county to accompany my father."
"I can't go either. I'm going back to my hometown in Qinglin." Lin Qingyu also shook his head. Like duanmuye, he hasn't been home since last year's Chongyang exam. At this time, the north is already in winter, and the war outside the Piaoxue pass has stopped. His father sent a message some time ago that there will be nearly a month's winter holiday this year. Lin Qingyu wants to go back to spend a new year's day with his father.
And some time ago, I heard little princess Yu Qinglin say that she was going to visit Qinglin county. Yu Qinglin was granted the title of Qinglin princess. Although she had no power to govern and tax, she only took the imperial edict every year, but Qinglin county was also her fiefdom in name, so she wanted to see it, and Zhongyang king had agreed.
"It's boring." Zhuge Yan turned his lips, but he went home to accompany his parents on New Year's day and did his best to be filial. That's the great virtue of people, and he didn't say anything. Then he turned his eyes to Lu Que and said, "Lu que, why don't we go? It's not far from Yusi lake to Yongning County town. We rent a carriage to walk along the official road. It doesn't take us half a day to get there. "
"No Lu que shook his head. "I want to walk along Changqing mountain and see the scenery along the way."
"Into the mountains again? Isn't that what you're looking for? " Zhuge Yan has been allergic to mountains and forests since his paintings of mountains and seas came out. In the past half a year, he has never been to the capital Xishan, which he usually goes to. The sight of the mountain reminds him of the animal tide in the mountain sea painting. Last time, he was lucky to have the help of the white wolf king. Now the white wolf king is following Gu Qingcheng. What if he encounters such a thing again?
Seeing Lu que shaking his head and smiling, Zhuge Yan was also discouraged. "Then I'd better go back to the capital. Anyway, Duanmu's wolf king guard is still in my house. It's time to go back together."
Because he couldn't bring any exotic animals to the camp this time, duanmuye, at Zhuge Yan's request, temporarily fostered the wolf king's guard from the mountain and sea painting in Zhuge's house. What duanmuye didn't know was that Zhuge Yan's heart was so devoted because Zhuge Zhui, the third uncle who came back from Donghai County, heard that Zhuge Yan's good friend had a spirit beast named Xueshan giant wolf. He asked his nephew to borrow the Giant Wolf for a few days. He wanted to find some strong mastiff to see if he could leave a nest of spirit beast offspring.
"What wolf king guard, that is sunspot. I named it sunspot." Duanmu no corrected the situation.
"Boss, don't mention your name. It's a white wolf. You're called sunspot. I don't know what you think." At the thought of duanmuye's name for the giant wolf in the snow mountain, Zhuge Yan thought that the huge white wolf was not worth it. How could he have chosen duanmuye at the beginning? If he had followed him, he would have taken the name of Fenghuaxueyue.
"Isn't that eye black?" Duanmu wild also know that the name does not fit his own giant wolf, especially from the strong argument.
"Whose eyes are not black, the hair is white." Zhuge Yan was not angry and said, "when you name it, it's not like a local dog at all."
"What's the matter with local dogs? They are easy to feed."
"That's the wolf, the Snow Mountain Giant Wolf of spirit beast level. Why did he follow you?"
"It's mine. I can call it whatever I want."
"Third brother, how many books have you brought? Lend me a book to pass the time. The ship will arrive in four days. It's too boring to read a book. " Lu que has been used to the daily quarrel between the brothers for a long time. Since duanmuye named the giant wolf, it didn't happen once or twice. Lu que, who finished making the bed, said to Lin Qingyu, who was laughing and watching.
"Here you are." Lin Qingyu closes the book in his hand and hands it to Lu que. Leaning on the wooden bedstead, he continues to watch duanmuye quarrel with Zhuge Yan.
Although the space on the ship was large, it was crowded with hundreds of people. The deck was full of people all the time. Therefore, the four brothers stayed in their own cabin every day except to eat in the cabin hall. Fortunately, Zhuge Yan brought a pair of chess with him. A few people read and played chess every day. Life was not boring.
On the afternoon of the fourth day, under the vibration of the ship, it stopped at a river port on the Bank of Changqing river. Because Yusi lake is the largest freshwater pearl producing area in Daqian, in order to protect those pearl mussels, large ships like Fengming academy are not allowed to enter Yusi lake.
There is also a legend here. It is said that at the end of the great Yin Dynasty, the princes of various places no longer paid attention to the common master of the great Yin, swallowed each other and fought against each other. A man named Xie Changyan, who was a famous teacher when he was young, had a good reputation in his hometown and was recruited as an official by the emperor of Yin.
The local princes naturally didn't want Xie Changyan to be the help of the emperor. After failing to recruit him, they would kill him.
Xie Changyan promised his wife Liu Qingyu when she left home. When she arrived in the capital to perform her duties, she would send someone back to pick her up. Every day, Liu Qingyu stands on the high cliff and looks at the direction of the capital, hoping to see the carriage that comes to meet her at the first time.
This kind of life lasted for ten years, until one day, a veteran who was disabled and discharged from the local princes returned home, and she knew that his husband had been killed ten years ago. The old soldier told the truth just because he saw her pitiful, so that Liu Qingyu could put out his mind and find a good family to remarry.
But what the veteran didn't expect was that Liu Qingyu was a descendant of a declining clan. Although she practiced martial arts at home, she was the only woman in her generation. She also abided by the ancestral precept of passing on male but not female. She didn't practice it. She just wanted to let one of them pass on martial arts to him with his mother's surname if she had several sons in the future.
When Liu Qingyu knew the truth of the matter, she took out the family transmission method and began to practice. She was also very gifted in martial arts. It took only 15 years to reach the level of catastrophe, but she had a deep hatred and was not in a good mood. After the catastrophe, she could not make any further progress.
Therefore, on a dark and windy night, with the help of enchantment incense, Liu Qingyu slaughtered all the local princes and burned their house to white.
After finishing all this, Liu Qingyu goes back to the lake where she lived. She remembers the scene of husband and wife farming and weaving, playing zither and singing. She tears and walks into the pre dug tomb with her husband Xie Changyan's clothes in her arms.
Therefore, the later generations are infatuated with this Ligustrum lucidum. They call the cliff where Liu Qingyu looks at her husband Wangfu cliff, and the lake under the cliff is called Yusi lake. The river flowing through Yusi lake is named Changqing River, which is also called Changqing river. The Pearl in Yusi lake is said to be the result of Liu Qingyu's tears. If a woman picks pearls herself and gives them to her lover in a bracelet, they will sing harmoniously and grow old together.
And the bracelet made of Yusi Lake Pearl also has a nice name called Si chain, which means missing love.
"I don't know if there are any pearls here. It's said that although there are many pearl mussels in the lake, because they are often picked, there are no big pearls now." The four got off the boat and walked along the Changqing river for a while. Then they came to the Bank of Yusi lake. Looking at the water as clear as a mirror, Zhuge Yan took the lead in saying.
"Yusi lake is much bigger than the Tingtao Lake we went to before." Duanmu wild looked at the lake, some surprised said.
"According to the book, Yusi lake is as big as an ordinary small county, and it is called Yusi blue wave thousand li." Lu que also said, but his right hand is shrinking in his sleeve. What he is holding is the bracelet that Gu Qingcheng gave him.
He didn't know the meaning of this bracelet before, and he wondered why Gu Qingcheng gave him this man a string of pearl bracelet, and his expression was so strange, but he took it without thinking much at that time.
After returning home, he put the bracelet in a box on the bookshelf. Who knows that later, when his mother came to his study to find a book and saw the bracelet, he realized that the bracelet had such a meaning.
"Well, I don't know if I can receive the chain from any girl in the future." Zhuge Yan opened his folding fan, looked at the lake and said.
"If someone gives it away, will you take it?" Lin Qingyu asked.
"I ~ this ~ I ~" ZHUGE Yan pondered for a while, but he couldn't accept this chain of thoughts casually. It was a token of love. Once he accepted it, he would agree to spend his whole life with that woman. Although it is a folk custom, it is not included in the law of Dakan. However, if he does accept the Pearl Bracelet from a girl and refuses to admit it, if he is chased by others, even if the lawsuit is finally brought to his majesty, his chances of losing are almost 100%.
"If you send me the cloud clothes, I will take them. I don't want them from others." It took Zhuge Yan a long time to say this.
"It's all named. It seems that you've made rapid progress recently." Lu Wutong glanced at Zhuge Yan, and he knew that since Wutong and Yu Tian Xiang no longer helped Zhuge dance around the clouds, Zhuge Yan used them to live in Feng Ming she's house. He ran to the valley of the trees in three to five times, and the women guards in the Indus Valley were all familiar with him for a few months.
"It was." Zhuge Yan happily shakes the fan.
"What's that? Work." Duanmuye patted Zhuge Yan, which made his whole body tremble.
"What do you do?" Zhuge Yan said in amazement that Duan Muye had just used some strength to scare Zhuge Yan. At this time, he learned Duan Muye's voice.
"Of course, I'm going to set up a tent. If you don't go to sleep at night, I'll leave. Don't blame me for not reminding you." With that, Duanmu and Lin Qingyu return to Hegang.
This camping trip, the school only provides military tents. As for where to build, how to build and how to eat these days, the students have to figure out their own ways.
"Well, it seems that this afternoon is busy again." Zhuge Yan sighed and shook his head helplessly. He closed the fan in his hand and followed the three people to the river port.
