Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

After a good night's sleep in the space, I got up at the beginning of the next day, which was around six o'clock.

They did not have breakfast in the space and planned to find a shop to eat after entering the city.

There are fewer people entering the city at this time. People from nearby villages who come to the city to buy and sell things will come before dawn. By this time, almost all of them have entered the city.

They waited in line for more than ten minutes and arrived. After paying the 5 cents entrance fee, they followed the flow of people to the center of the city.

There, each of us had a bowl of wontons and two refreshing side dishes, which was relatively smooth to eat.

After dinner, I was going to visit the famous Yueyang Tower, but I couldn’t get in at all!

That's right, you just can't get in because it's under construction.

Qingyan didn't expect that she would catch up with the most famous renovation of Yueyang Tower. Thinking about it, the establishment of the Song Dynasty was ahead of schedule, and some things would be ahead of schedule.

Yueyang Tower is located on the west gate wall of Yueyang Ancient City. They entered from the north gate, so starting from the center, they had to go west.

The West Gate is close to the Dongting Lake. You can look down at Dongting from here and Junshan in front. However, it is currently being rebuilt. There are craftsmen and building materials everywhere. Ordinary people are not allowed to approach it at will. They can only use their spiritual sense to see.

Qingyan has studied the Yueyang Tower and knows that it was built in the 20th year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was renovated many times in the past dynasties and prospered in the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. Because Teng Zongliang of the Northern Song Dynasty rebuilt the Yueyang Tower and invited his friend Fan Zhongyan to write "The Yueyang Tower", the Yueyang Tower became famous in the world.

Since ancient times, it has been known as "the water in the world in Dongting and the tower in the world in Yueyang". Together with the Yellow Crane Tower and Tengwang Pavilion, it is known as the three famous towers in the south of the Yangtze River. It is one of the four famous towers in ancient times and is known as the "No. 1 Tower in the World".

It's just a pity that it can't be seen now, only a small part of its construction process can be seen.

In this case, there is no point in staying in the city, so we can only see if there is a boat to Junshan Island.

I bought some snacks from a nearby street shop and asked where I could take a boat ride.

The shopkeeper told me that there is a pier in Xicheng where you can take a boat. There are both large and small boats. You can ride with others, or you can charter a boat by yourself.

However, it is better to take a big boat, which is safer. After all, Dongting is 800 miles away and the water is very large. Even in winter, there will be some wind and waves. Small boats can easily capsize, but big boats are more stable.

Of course, there are not as many big ships as there are small ones, and it is easy to charter them. Big ships have to be picked up. If you are lucky, you happen to meet someone with the connections to get a big ship. You can discuss with them and pay some money to ride on it.

When they came out of Xicheng and walked to the dock by the lake, they happened to meet the five young men again. They were talking to people dressed as boatmen in front of a large ship.

Qingyan and the others looked at each other, didn't they just give them pillows when they fell asleep?

Those five young masters are worthy of being from wealthy families, and they all have some connections everywhere.

The young man from the capital was talking to a ship owner about how they were acquainted with the third young master of Tongzhi's family, and he introduced them. They wanted to charter this big ship to Junshan Island, and they were negotiating on the price.

Qingyan listened to the price and found that the price for chartering such a large ship was quite considerable. It cost twenty taels of silver for one trip.

Don’t be deceived by the plots of some TV dramas and novels where one hundred taels and one thousand taels are often spent. In ancient times, one tael of silver was enough for a family of five to live a good life for a month or two. Just these twenty taels are equivalent to the wealth of future generations. More than 20,000 yuan.

You must know that in later generations, it only cost a few hundred yuan to charter a speedboat to Junshan Island, and the kind that charged per head only cost 20 yuan per person.

So it's normal for those young men to want to negotiate the price. After all, they don't carry too much money when they go out, so they can save as much as possible.

Qingyan gave Chou Chou a wink, and he walked over knowingly, and used Mandarin to get close to one of the men from the capital, and they quickly reached a consensus with him.

In the end, they each contributed half of the money to charter the boat. Even if it was just one trip, it would still take a day. After all, they wanted to have fun on the island and could not come back soon.

Of course, you can stay there. There is an inn there, but it is very small and the conditions are not very good. If it is not really impossible to leave, if there is a strong wind or rain, most people who have gone there will return to the city.

Chou Chou called Qing Yan and the others to come forward and introduced them both.

The five young masters obviously had an impression of them. After all, they stayed in an inn for several days, so they would still have an impression even if they had no contact with them.

What's more, Qingyan and the others are quite recognizable. Not to mention the beauty Qingyan, Jin Yang and Chou Chou are also very handsome. In addition, Jin Yang's unforgettable appearance and temperament make it difficult for people not to notice. .

Yuanbao returned to the dimension and did not come out. When they were alone on Junshan Island, it would not be too late for it to come out again.

Chou Chou has already made an agreement with the other party that they are only going there one way and will not come back today, so it is very cost-effective for the other party to pay half of the ship fare.

They didn't just do it for fun, but if they wanted to explore the entrance to the Dragon Palace, one day would definitely not be enough, and it might take several days.

As for how they will return to the city in the future, we will see when the time comes. It’s not like there are no boats there. At most, they can just take a small boat back.

Of course, if you don't want to go back to the city, you can also take a detour from the west. There is also a land route by boat on the other side. However, they will have to go to Poyang Lake and go east, so it is not appropriate to take a detour from the west.

The two sides greeted each other, and handed over half of the silver to the shipowner, and gave the other half to the shipowner when he came back, just in case anything unexpected happened in the middle.

They had packed the oxcart into the space before, so they didn’t have to arrange where to put the oxcart, they just had to pack it lightly.

Following the five young men walking in front, they boarded the ship on the wooden planks nailed with crossbars and entered the cabin directly.

This boat is said to be a big boat, but it is also compared to a small fish boat. It is still far behind a sea-going ship. It is only ten or twenty meters long and has only ten cabins, which are divided into upper and lower floors.

There is another floor at the bottom, which is for storing things. The five young masters went to the upper floor, while Qingyan and the others stayed on the first floor.

It seemed that the other party had the same idea as them, they just chartered a boat on the same journey and had no intention of having a close relationship.

After all, we were wondering if we would meet again after getting off the ship, so we didn’t stay together to chat.

Of course, it is also possible that the five people on the other side and their guards are all men. With the little girl Qingyan here, they want to avoid suspicion, so they don't have the nerve to stay down there.

That's fine, let's go our separate ways. It's pointless to force an awkward conversation if we're not familiar with each other.

I originally thought that we should be able to reach Junshan Island very quickly, but I forgot that this is not the future. This boat is rowed purely by human power, so the speed is very slow. After an hour of walking, it is still in the middle position. Qingyan remembered that when they came, it took less than half an hour by speedboat and only forty minutes by ferry.

But now it was purely manual work, and it took more than two hours to get there, just because of the smooth wind and current. If there was a headwind, it might have taken even longer.

While on the boat, Qingyan and Chou Chou both explored the bottom of the lake with their consciousness.

Of course, the entire Dongting Lake could not be covered by Qingyan's consciousness. She only looked down from a nearby position that could cover it.

Dragon Palace didn’t see it, but it did see a lot of fish, shrimps, crabs and aquatic plants.

Chou Chou's spiritual consciousness covered the entire main water area of ​​Dongting Lake, but it found no trace of the Dragon Palace.

Of course, they also knew that if it was really at the bottom of the lake, then not only they could find it, but anyone could find it, and there would have been rumors long ago.

Since it is legendary, it is definitely not that easy to find. This is also expected. I just subconsciously use my spiritual consciousness to look for it.

Chou Chou actually saw traces of some submerged villages under the water. There should have been villages in that place many years ago, but they were later flooded due to changes in the earth's crust, leaving only the outlines of some houses and the remains of bricks and tiles. In the water.

Since they didn't find anything, they didn't waste any more efforts and looked at the scenery of Dongting Lake directly on the boat.

The current scenery is original, unlike in later generations where you can see many modern buildings around the lake, which have destroyed the scenery. Moreover, after changes, many places have no water and have been planted with crops. It's incomparable to now.

Although there are many man-made traces around the lake now, the antique buildings complement the beautiful scenery and are incomparable to modern reinforced concrete.

After finally getting up to Junshan, you can find that it is not big but has many historical sites.

Not to mention future generations, even now there are many places that can be called historic sites.

It was called Dongting Mountain or Xiangshan Mountain in ancient times. It is a small island in the 96-mile Dongting Lake. It is far away from Yueyang Tower. Ninth hole heavenly paradise

Junshan Island has five wells, four terraces, thirty-six pavilions, and forty-eight temples. Literati from past dynasties wrote articles, poems, or inscribed books around Jun's "strange", "small", "qiao", "secluded", and "ancient" Carved stone.

Of course, some of those Jingtai temples do not exist yet, and only a few have a long history. Most of the others were built after the Song Dynasty, so they cannot be seen now.

However, now there are the earliest cliff carvings in the history discovered in China, the "Nebula Map", Neolithic ruins, and the shocking love testimonies of ghosts and gods - mottled bamboo, the tomb of the second concubine, Liu Yijing, and the sealing of the mountain by Qin Shihuang. The shooting platform of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and India.

Later, there will be Feilai Zhong, Yang Yaozhai, etc. of the peasant uprising in the Song Dynasty. Every monument is a piece of profound history, and every story is a distant memory.

Especially since the Tang Dynasty, many poets and poets have visited Junshan to express their feelings, leaving countless masterpieces for thousands of years and making Junshan even more famous.

The island has towering ancient trees and luxuriant bamboo forests. There are more than twenty kinds of famous bamboos. The magical and sentimental spotted bamboo grows around the tomb of the second concubine.

Junshan Tea is a beautiful landscape. The layers of tea gardens are like green jade belts surrounding the hills and mountains. Junshan Silver Needle, one of the top ten famous teas, is produced here.

There are beautiful scenery here in all four seasons, including exotic flowers and plants in spring, vast cave gardens in summer, fishermen singing in autumn and migratory wetland birds in winter.

After arriving on Junshan Island, they said goodbye to the five young masters. They didn't even exchange names with each other.

Since they paid half of the money up front, they considered all of their ship fares to be paid in full, and it was the young masters who had to pay for it when they returned.

And they were not prepared to go with them, so they just found a random direction and left as soon as they landed on the island.

Of course, they have spiritual consciousness, so they are definitely not wandering around, but are heading directly towards the Bamboo Forest and the Tomb of the Second Concubine. They just don’t know where the other party will go next. It doesn’t matter if they actually bump into each other later. At most Just saying hello.

The current mottled bamboo forest is not as planned as in later generations. It is surrounded by railings and has a cement path in the middle. Although the mottled bamboo forest today is also scattered, there is an ordinary dirt road in the middle, and at most some places are paved with stone slabs.

There is no artificial planning, so it is very natural. There are also villages here, so you can occasionally meet people.

It should be able to help the local villages generate income, so the bamboos here are well protected.

Moreover, a pavilion was built. I don’t know who built it. It is very exquisite and is located deep in the bamboo forest.

Tourists can sit there and rest when they are tired. If there are literati who can write poems, they can watch the scenery of the bamboo forest there, and maybe they can get inspired by poetry and write a lot of ink.

Qingyan looked around and saw that there were no outsiders. She couldn't help but take out her camera and take pictures of the current scenery. She was afraid that someone would come over, so she only took a few pictures and put them away.

Jin Yang and Huang Huang also saw it, and just watched on both sides, without asking any questions out of curiosity.

They knew that Chou Chou and Qing Yan had many strange things. They had studied the car in Chou Chou's space.

It's just that they haven't studied this camera. It must be the so-called "technology" that they have never been exposed to.

Anyway, it was a novel object. Qingyan would probably tell them about it when she returned to the space, so she didn't ask too much.

After passing through the mottled bamboo forest, we came to the tomb of the second concubine, which is also the Xiangfei Temple.

Xiangfei Temple, also known as Xiangshan Temple, is located on the east side of Junshan Mountain and is one of the earliest temple buildings. "Historical Records: The Chronicles of Qin Shihuang" records: "In the twenty-eighth year of the First Emperor,... he floated on the river to Xiangshan Temple."

Li Misi, the magistrate of Baling County in the Tang Dynasty, also recorded in the "Records of the Xiangjun Temple": "In the past, people built the Xiangjun Temple on this mountain, which was renamed Junshan. After the temple was destroyed by the King of Qin, it was not built for a long time."

It can be seen that there was a Xiangfei Temple before the Qin Dynasty, which was dedicated to Xiangfei, the two concubines of Yu Shun, Ehuang and Nvying.

It is not like the Xiangfei Temple in later generations, which has three entrances. It was rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty. Now there is only one main hall, without carved beams and paintings, and not so many colors, but now the antique charm is more obvious.

They went into the main hall and poured incense. This was the legendary Xiangshui God. Maybe they would find something inside, and their trip would not be in vain.

I used my spiritual sense to explore inside and found that it was gone. People were coming and going here, and people often came to worship. If there was anything strange, there would have been legends.
