Hunting for the Southern Song Dynasty

After breakfast that day, Dong Rong, Gong Suran and Zhiling and I went to visit Funiu Mountain to decide on the development plan of the cottage.

Dong Rong pointed to the stone slabs on the mountain while walking and said: "These natural stone slabs are all made of high-quality materials. It saves labor and time for building houses and walls."

Gong Suran said: "If mining, you must pay attention to it, and don't destroy the whole picture and true color of the mountain."

Zhiling said: "Don't worry, these stone slabs are mostly pumice. Even if you dig a foot and a half deep, it's okay. If you take the opportunity to plant flowers and trees, pines and cypresses, the mountain will be more vibrant."

Unknowingly walking into a valley, Gong Suran stopped, stared at a huge boulder, turned around and asked, "What do you think this looks like?"

Dong Rong said: "I look like a half-lying female Bodhisattva."

Zhiling said: "I look like a little calf."

I quickly said, "I look like a female Bodhisattva holding a calf."

Zhiling punched me and said, "You are so treacherous, you told me everything about Dong Rong and me, without any imagination of your own."

I said: "In terms of imagination, I don't think this is a female Bodhisattva or a little calf, but rather a beautiful Taoist nun hugging a flower pillow."

Gong Suran also punched me and said, "Come arrange me again!"

I said, "Don't you see it?"

Gong Suran said: "The so-called images are all plausible, and the images are different with different hearts. Dong Rong has a compassionate heart, Zhiling has a naive heart, and Xian has a lustful heart."

"So what do you look like?" I asked.

Gong Suran said: "Actually, it is a female Bodhisattva holding a calf. If a temple is built here, there must be a lot of incense, and those foolish people will come here to worship Buddha and ask for a child."

I laughed and said, "Then you can shave your hair and become a nun."

Gong Suran said: "It doesn't matter whether you shave your head or not, and what clothes you wear. I have both a heart of compassion and a heart of innocence..."

"There is also a lustful heart!" I joked, "Isn't it half-hearted?"

"Both men and women have a lustful heart. It doesn't matter if you have restraint. I'm afraid that lusting will kill Qingqing sooner or later." Gong Suran taught me with a pointed sneer, and then smiled at Zhiling Said: "But it's a pity to build a temple here, Zhiling, what do you think is good to build here?"

"I think it's better to build a Baodu garden here, and then invite a gentleman to let the children in our village play here and learn to read and write."

Dong Rong said: "There is a cave here, it might as well be carved into a grotto and set up as a school."

We all say yes.

Gong Suran pointed to a pagoda not far away, "What's the name of that pagoda?"

Dong Rong said: "Mystery Tower."

Gong Suran said: "Come on, let's take a look."

After turning over a small hill, I came to the pagoda without realizing it. The pagoda was built on a small hill, and the wide ground below the hill was full of broken walls and ruins.

On the stone wall, there is engraved Yu Xuanji's poem "Interview with Master Zhao Lianshi":

Where is the same fairy couple, Tsing Yi is alone at home.The stove is reserved for cooking medicine, and the neighboring courtyard is used for sencha.The light on the painted wall is dim, and the shadow of the flag and pole is slanting.Looking back attentively, there are several flowers outside the wall.

Dong Rongdao: "It is said that this place used to be a monastery. When Yu Xuanji traveled eastward, he heard that Master Zhao Lianji was practicing Taoism here, so he went up the mountain to look for it, but Master Zhao Lian was not there, so he wrote this poem. Master Zhao Lianji heard about it and went to find Yu Xuanji again. The two We met each other late, and we sang poems and poems, and our feelings were congenial. After Yu Xuanji left, some merchants all admired Yu Xuanji's talent, so they built this exquisite pagoda here, named Xuanji Pagoda."

Dong Rong led us into a grotto, but it was knotted with spider threads, covered with dust, and covered with moss, but it still couldn't conceal the beauty in its bones.

Gong Suran was full of enthusiasm, "What a cave, what a cave, I, Gong Suran, finally found a home. Why don't you build a temple for me here, and call it Youran Valley, how about it?"

Both Dong Rong and I praised: "Very good, very good!"

Zhiling said: "My sister lives here, so how about I often come to drink tea with you?"

Gong Suran said: "That is necessary, how about you also be a Taoist nun?"

Dong Rong said with a smile: "She must be reluctant to leave Brother Niu!"

Zhiling said: "The servants are just ordinary people, they can't cultivate Taoism and immortality."

Dong Rong pointed to a place and said: "There is a hot spring among the trees. We often come here to take a bath on weekdays."

Gong Suran said: "Then I occupy this place, how should you take a shower?"

Dong Rong said: "It doesn't matter, the surrounding trees are obstacles, you can still wash it boldly."

I said to Gong Suran: "It's so good, you can stand on the high hill, and at the same time cultivate yourself into the Heavenly Venerable Way, and at the same time peek at the masculine jade forest."

Gong Suran hit me once, and his eyes were hard on me.

We went out of the cave and walked to the pagoda. The pagoda has thirteen floors, all of which are made of white jade-like stones. Standing in front of the pagoda and looking at Su Si from a distance, we felt that the graceful Yu Xuanji was coming on auspicious clouds...

Not far away, there is a huge stone turtle with a green stele on it. There is no inscription on the stele, but there is a wonderful woman in relief, who must be Yu Xuanji. She was about 17 years old at that time.

Of course, this portrait has been completely destroyed by ordinary people, with messy characters painted on it, what kind of official titles are messed up, what kind of famous names are messed up, and a man of gods even wrote: Lin Yifei, a talented scholar from the south of the Yangtze River, paid a visit to Yu Xuanji, a beautiful girl from the Tang Dynasty. The love that travels through the dust of history will be forever legendary.

We couldn't express what we felt in our hearts, so we left here without saying a word, and suddenly heard the sound of a waterfall, Gong Suran and Zhiling laughed and ran quickly.When encountering ditches and hurdles, I have to stop, and I have to hug and pull the other, and the two beauties are by my side, which is also a joyful feeling.

The stream flows down the valley, hitting the rocks and splashing water, and the fine waves are jubilant.

After a while, I saw a waterfall seeming to come down from the clouds. When I walked closer, I saw a large pool of clear water under the waterfall.

Dong Rong said: "It is even more beautiful here in spring, surrounded by peach blossoms, this pool of water is also called Peach Blossom Pool. This waterfall is called Yunzhongshui."

I asked, "How deep is this pool of water?"

Dong Rong said: "We haven't tested it either, but last year when I fought against the water thieves in the Golden Turtle Lake, I trained in the water here and drowned two minions. The depth of the water is less than three feet, and the depth of the water is unfathomable."

We climbed to the top of the mountain and saw that the top was very flat and wide. Dong Rong said, "This is called Niubeiding."

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, you can see the Golden Turtle Lake. There is a small island in the center of the lake, which looks like a giant turtle poking its head.

I asked: "If this lake belongs to us, will it be more advantageous for us to attack and defend?"

Dong Rong said: "That's natural. And we don't have to go around so far when we travel. Whether it's going to the state or the county, it's very convenient. Originally, when I first came to Funiu Village, I sent more than a hundred people to guard the Golden Turtle Lake, but last summer Thirty water thieves came, killed more than a hundred of my captives, and occupied my water village. I took people to besiege them, but these water thieves were all very good at water. I had no choice but to swallow my anger.”

"***, you're too deceitful, why don't I lead people to suppress him in the past few days!"

"Now it's different from the past. He has more than a hundred warships and nearly a thousand sailors. We landlubbers are blinded when we enter the Golden Turtle Lake. The fishermen have complained to them for a long time. In order to survive, some fishermen either bowed their knees or entered their traps." Guy. Zhang Xian also led troops to suppress them, but for a month, they failed to subdue these water thieves. The front line was tight, so Zhang Xian had to lead troops to fight the golden soldiers again."

Gong Suran said: "If you are right, you will get help, if you are wrong, you will get little help. We might as well make a long-term plan. The most urgent thing is to recruit some sailors and strengthen water training."

Dong Rong said: "The weather is getting colder, not suitable for water training."

Gong Suran said: "The harsher the training, the more effective it is. When it freezes, it is a good opportunity to attack him."

"Extremely true!" I turned to Dong Rong, "Who is this thief?"

"His name is Ma Zongrui, and people call him a whore on the water, which means that he looks like a floating ladle on the water, and this person has a bad habit, no matter if it is a fisherman's girl, a farmer's girl, or even a brothel girl, anyone who is outstanding in beauty is punished by him." Jie went to the water village to play around. There were too many women. I didn’t know where to get a big boat, dressed in red and colorful, called ‘Yu Shui Huan’, and drove all the women on board for him and his hands to have sex with. happy."

I said angrily: "It's so hateful, it really should be removed!"

"Last autumn, on my birthday, the prostitute in the water didn't know how to get the news, and he took a few people up to the mountain for a banquet. Bean corn persuaded me to take him down on the spot. I thought it would be unmanly to do so, so I let the bastard return to the water. I don't want to, during the dinner, the water prostitute actually fell in love with my 15-year-old sister and came to ask for marriage. Such a notorious person, how can I agree, I don't want this thief to attack my cottage at night and take my sister away. A month later, my sister went back to the mountain. Although her face was not happy, she said that the thief was very kind to her. I stopped her from going to the Golden Turtle Lake, but she still sneaked away. Although I didn’t recognize the door Dear, but there is nothing we can do, but fortunately, this thief has eased up a lot with our cottage since then, so I just let him go."

Dong Rong burst into tears, "I've never been ashamed to tell others about this kind of thing. I'm so useless, my parents died early, and asked me to take good care of my sister, but I didn't expect..."

I said: "Don't worry, when the enthronement ceremony is held, invite him to bring your sister, and then we will have the final say."

Dong Rong said: "Everything depends on Brother Niu."

"Work together, work together." I asked, "After talking for a long time, what is the source of this prostitution?"

"Zhang Diwan, have you ever heard of it?"

I nod.Zhang Diwan's name is Zhang Rong, who was once a water thief in Liangshangbo. Taizhou, it can be said that it became famous in the first battle, so Shotou Lake was renamed Desheng Lake.

Dong Rong said: "This prostitute on the water was originally one of Zhang Diwan's subordinates. He led someone to join the Jin army, but after Zhang Diwan found out, he chased him down and ran to this water area."

"Then is there any collusion between him and Jin Bing now?"

"Who knows? I feel that whether it's Jin or Puppet Qi, he has contacts with them. Even the prefectures and counties in my Song Dynasty have the backers and minions of the water thief, otherwise he wouldn't be so crazy. "

"A small water thief is worthless!" We chatted and walked down the mountain, "Now that the cottage has been flourishing under your management, if we continue to work hard, we will definitely become enemies. Now, No matter how many clues there are, many of us have to twist into a rope to do it little by little, both to seek the big picture and to do small things."

"That's that."

"Since it is a cottage, it must be both offensive and defensive. Everything must take advantage of the shape of the mountain, follow the potential of the water, and fit in with the landscape. This way it looks beautiful. The construction work will be undertaken by Gong Xiangu. What do you think?"

Dong Rong said: "I absolutely agree."

"How about letting Zhi Ling take care of the accounts?"

Dong Rong said: "Yes."

I turned around and asked Gong Suran and Ye Zhiling: "What do you two think?"

Gong Suran said: "How dare a poor man not listen to your Majesty's words?"

Ye Zhiling said: "My family will devote all my efforts to the King!"

After returning to the village, it was past noon.After the meal, they dispersed to do their own business.

In the evening, Gong Suran agreed to sleep with Ye Zhiling.So I asked someone to bring the woman whose face was painted black into my house.
