Chapter 345 Feiyun(1/2)
The return of the army of destroying mountains and ruining temples adds a bit of fun to Jiangling.
There are endless guests in the restaurants on Linshui Street and brothels on both sides of Tongjiang Canal in recent days.
This morning, the clouds and mist above Jiangling were thick and the air was stuffy.
The experienced pedestrian vendors prepared paper umbrellas early and set up a canopy.
At Chen, it finally started to rain in the dark sky.
The heavy rain poured down, as if a hole was broken in the sky.
The dense rain water is like a thick ink that cannot be melted, making it difficult to see the scene more than ten meters away.
The sudden heavy rain came quickly and ended quickly.
Just after noon, the heavy rain began to become lighter until it turned into a drizzle.
At this time, Jiangling seemed to be covered with a layer of gray gauze, and the whole city became hazy.
The pedestrians and vendors who were originally hiding under the eaves of the house showed a smile of surprise on their faces and took to the streets one after another.
People were wearing straw raincoats, holding oil-paper umbrellas, and black boots were stepped on the bluestone slabs. Occasionally, they stepped into shallow puddles without paying attention, splashing water.
The poplar trees on the street almost fell completely due to a sudden heavy rain.
Under the gray sky, several pine trees stand on the roofs of the street, and strings of rainwater drop on the eaves hit the mossy stone slabs, making a crisp sound.
Smoky rain in Jiangling, ink and washing in Jiangnan.
After the heavy rain, Jiangling washed away the past glory and had a sense of landscape painting under the drizzle.
When literati and poets saw this beautiful scenery, they changed their clothes one after another, mostly in blue, white and black.
Holding an oil-paper umbrella, holding a book or a sword, calling the children of the book, calling their friends to walk out of the house together and step into the beautiful scenery of misty rain.
Tongjiang Canal is a famous waterway in Jiangling City.
This canal diverts water from the Yangtze River and runs through the entire city from west to east.
In the first section of Tongjiang Canal entering the city, the waterway is spacious, with the largest of more than 20 meters and a bridge is required to be built before passing.
This section of the waterway is about five miles long. Because there are many brothels and restaurants on both sides of the river, the most prosperous and noisy on weekdays, there is "Jiangling Five-Mile Fun Road, the Fun Financial Building day and night!"
Above the Wuli Waterway, there are seven large bridges and twenty-one small bridges.
The merger is known as the Twenty-Eight Bridges, the most famous of which is "Flying Yun Qingque".
It refers to the two bridges of Feiyun and Qingque in the Twenty-Eight Bridges.
Beside Feiyun Bridge, there are towers and pavilions, pedestrians are coming and going, and the bustling and bustling are visible.
Li Yu was wearing a blue-clothed cloud-patterned suit, covered with a snow-green gauze dress, a white jade-patterned crown on his head, a back-patterned gem belt tied with a bluefish-carrying pearl pendant hanging around his waist, and a pair of black and white-patterned gold boots on his feet.
His face is as jade as a dragon, and his temperament is as if he is standing out among the crowd, but when he sees it is ordinary at a glance.
"Mr. Guo, I have been to Jiangling for a while. Although I have been hearing about the name of the Flying Clouds of the Twenty-Eight Bridges, I don't know what allusions are there, and why they are so famous."
"I wonder if Mr. Guo can teach me?"
Li Yu carried his hands behind his back, and Tieshan Li Yan followed him step by step.
He went up the bridge and came to the center. Feiyun Bridge is a typical arch bridge with the highest position in the middle. He could bring most of the surrounding scenery into his eyes at a glance.
Next to him, Guo Yunyang was wearing a black-bottomed, cloud-patterned uniform today, wearing a jade crown on his head and a jade pendant on his waist, with a respectful expression and a calm temperament, giving people a sense of peace and reliability.
He was half a position behind Li Yu, and he looked thoughtful when he heard this, and then said for a moment: "I have been to Jiangling for more than ten years. I happened to hear someone tell me the origin of this Feiyun Bridge. Today I dared to tell the young master."
"It is said that the Jiangling King, who was digging Tongjiang Canal in the previous dynasty, did not build 28 bridges such as Feiyun at the beginning, but only seven small bridges."
"Later, King Jiangling was deeply involved in the turmoil of the imperial throne, so he wanted to escape from the vortex of struggle and return to his fiefdom."
Guo Yunyang's eyes secretly observed Li Yu's reaction, and when he saw this, he listened seriously, he continued:
"But the struggle of the court involves the throne, so how can I refuse without interfering with it?"
"Not long after King Jiangling returned to his fiefdom, he was summoned by the court with an imperial edict."
"After receiving the imperial edict, the other party was frightened and did not know whether it was a blessing or a disaster. But he did not dare to refuse. After a few days of mental tension and exhaustion, he wanted to go out for a walk."
"Jiangling King relaxed everywhere and soon met a fortune teller next to Tongjiang Canal. He had a whim at that time, and when he thought of his current situation, he went forward to tell fortunes with a try."
"The fortune teller did not seem to see his identity, but said, "Good and bad things depend on each other, and the flying dragon enters the clouds and turns into a real dragon."
"King Jiangling was silent after returning that day, and decided to return to Beijing the next day. After returning to Beijing this time, the dispute over the throne within the court became more and more fierce and dangerous, and King Jiang Lin was imprisoned several times."
"In the end, when the other princes were both defeated, King Jiangling seized the throne and became the emperor in one fell swoop!"
"After becoming emperor, King Jiangling did not forget the fortune teller at the beginning. He just sent someone back to look for him, but he never saw him again."
"After inquiring from many sources, the people nearby had never seen the fortune teller. There was a rumor that shortly after Jiangling King returned to Beijing, a dragon flew out of the Tongjiang Canal and turned into a dragon in the air. Seven days later, it rained heavily in Jiangling, and fish and shrimps filled the warehouse in the Yangtze River waters."
"After that, King Jiangling ordered the construction of a bridge in the place where he met a fortune teller and named it Feiyun."
"After that, Tongjiang Canal became famous gradually, and more legends appeared in Qingque and other bridges, which were formed."
Guo Yunyang said a long sentence and felt a little dry.
But due to Li Yu's presence, he had to endure temporarily.
"So the story of the flying dragon originated here!"
After hearing this, Li Yan said in surprise.
"Oh? Have you heard of Li Yan, too?"
Li Yu looked back and asked.
"When I go back to my son, my subordinates don't know the legend of Feiyun Bridge, but I have heard of Feilong's story."
Li Yu showed a hint of curiosity on his face and smiled, "Let's listen."
"Yes." Li Yan nodded and thought: "It is said that when Jiangling City built the Tongjiang Canal, it destroyed the Yangtze River veins, causing a trace of dragon energy to be trapped in the Tongjiang Canal."
"Later, a koi in Tongjiang Canal absorbed the dragon energy and turned into a dragon. Finally, she succeeded in practicing and finally turned into a dragon and flew into the clouds."
Guo Yunyang also nodded and said, "Nephew Li Xian said it well. There are rumors among the people that the fortune teller was actually transformed by a flying dragon. He helped the Jiangling King tell fortunes, and the latter successfully fought for the throne. He also successfully transformed into a dragon through the fate of the previous dynasty."
After hearing this, Li Yu nodded slightly, "The dragon tells fortune, the prince competes for the throne, and the flying clouds turn into dragons. Several things are a good story together, no wonder they have been passed down to this day."
He didn't know whether the legend of King Jiangling was true or false.
But this legend does collect several attractive elements.
If you are connected with reality, you can't do it without being popular.
"But time passes and time passes. Even with legends like Jiangling King, the previous dynasty has long been in existence for hundreds of years."
Li Yu looked into the distance, the drizzle was hazy, the river water pavilions, and the ink paintings were like a painting of ink in the south of the Yangtze River.
"Time will be taken away, but it also leaves many. The story of Feiyun Bridge, the prosperity of Jiangling City, and even the pavilions of these five-mile waterways may be the same as the arrangements of the previous dynasty."
"Old Guo, do you think this person will really have nothing if he dies?"
Guo Yunyang was named, his eyes were a little confused, but he still couldn't figure out the purpose of Li Yu calling him.
He lowered his head and pondered, saying, "The world often says that a person dies like a lamp that goes out, and this is right or wrong. The human body is dead, but the traces he left in the world will not disappear."
"His child will know his deeds and can also tell his child's child. If the other party was a big man during his lifetime, he would be recorded in history books. When future generations see this passage, they will also know that there was such a person at that time."
Li Yu exclaimed, "Old Guo is worthy of being a master of the time, and his foresight is indeed very comparable to those of people."
"I just don't know if Mr. Guo can become the celebrity in history you call me?"
Guo Yunyang's mind was almost burning, and finally couldn't bear it. He bowed and said, "Young Master, please forgive me for being old and fainted, and I don't know the true meaning."
Seeing this, Li Yu stopped going around in circles and said bluntly: "Always Guo wants to be the god this time."
"I'm going to hide it from my son, I do have such an idea." Guo Yunyang nodded and admitted directly that this is no longer a secret among the top leaders of the Ba Mansion.
"Wait a little longer."
Li Yu looked at the street outside the bridge, where people came and went, and there were crowds of people. "There are not enough civil servants in the Ba Mansion at present. Mr. Guo has the talent for governing the world, so he shouldn't have been idle so early."
Guo Yunyang's face twitched slightly, and finally bowed: "Abide by the order!"
Li Yu saw the unwillingness in the other party's heart, his face calmed down, and comforted him: "Old Guo can take advantage of this period of time to practice hard, and then he will become the Hengshan Mountain God with his body, and his potential will be higher."
Guo Yunyang suddenly raised his head, his dim eyes lit up.
What is flowers that are gone from water and there is no way out, and there is another village with dark willows and bright flowers!
He originally thought he had no hope of becoming a god, but he didn't want to wait for Li Yu's promise.
That is Hengshan Mountain God and one of the Five Mountains!
This is no better than the county city god he chose before!
"Thank you for your kindness!"
Li Yu just smiled faintly when he heard this.
You are only in your fifties, just like retirement is not that easy.
And even if you become a god, you have to practice it for me.
To be continued...
