Chapter 341: Big clams stewed with pearls?

On the way back to the inn, Shangguan Shanshan asked Li Luotang, "What do you think about this?"

"What else can I think? Isn't it just a strong dragon outside the pass to grab the territory." Li Luotang said calmly.

Shangguan Shanshan looked up and sighed, "It's going to change."

"Well, it's going to rain." Li Luotang looked at the bright moon and talked nonsense seriously.

"We don't have to worry about it when it rains, we have an umbrella."

"So what else should I get upset about?"

Shangguan Shanshan blinked, "It's true that there is no need to be upset."

Such two people with great hearts returned to the inn, washed and rested, and woke up until dawn.

Staying in Suzhou for five days, I went around the places I should play, and then went to Jinling.

On the official road, the two riders flew together.

At the beginning of noon, the two arrived in Huishan Town and went to the town to find a restaurant for lunch.

I saw that the menu read: Big clam stewed pearls.

"This dish is so fresh, I wonder how it tastes?" Shangguan Shanshan asked.

What can the guy say? Of course, he can only say that the dishes are good and delicious... There are a lot of good words, which makes the two of them salivate.

When the dishes were served, I realized that they had nothing to do with clams or pearls. They were just steamed crucian carp.

However, this crucian carp is not an ordinary white crucian carp, but a black-backed crucian carp.

The black-backed crucian carp has a flat and thick body, a small head and large eyes, a wide and thick spine, a dark skin, and a thick belly.

The fish meat on the back has no nets and silk bones, and the belly meat is as thick as eel meat.

The fish meat is tender and crumbless, and the taste is moist. It is accompanied by the water chestnut stuffed into the fish belly. It tastes more delicious.

The reason why this dish is called "Big Clam" is because the crucian carp on the back is like a river clam and the water chestnuts are like pearls.

"It turns out that this is a pictographic dish." Shangguan Shanshan said while chewing the water chestnut.

"No matter what kind of dish it is, it tastes good." Li Luotang has always liked to eat fish.

After lunch, the two went to Huishan Temple.

Huishan Temple is located at the western end of Xiuzhang Street, the eastern foot of Huishan Mountain, adjacent to the second spring in the world in the south, Huaxiaozi Temple, Jichang Garden in the north, and Erquan Academy.

The town is not big, but there are many famous places and historical sites.

When they passed by the clay seller's stall, they looked at the little flower girl, Xiao Ruyi, Xiao birthday star, small Buddha statue, chicken, dog, geese and other small beasts on the stall, and the two of them couldn't walk.

"Can we pinch it as we do?" Shangguan Shanshan asked.

"Yes, yes." The stall owner smiled.

"You are not your true appearance." Li Luotang glanced at her.

"Yes, then forget it, I'll buy this goose."

"I like this rabbit."

After buying a good clay doll, the two of them continued to move forward.

From a distance, I saw big trees with lush branches and leaves, and the eaves and corners were vaguely visible between the branches.

"There are 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, and so many towers in the mist and rain." Shangguan Shanshan's "old habit" was violated again.

"I don't go back in time for the Tian Sect, and the rain suddenly opens on the roof of the boat moored to the mountain. When I returned, I asked me, and I once came to Huishan." Li Luotang cooperated with the tacit understanding.

Behind the mountain gate are two stone sutras. The stone sutras are made of many piles of stone carvings, with plate covers on the columns, and the columns are carved with Dharani scriptures and Buddha statues.

"Brother Xian, how do you see the carvings of this stone scripture pagoda?" Li Luotang asked.

"The carvings are simple and profound, the calligraphy is strong and smooth, the Buddha statues are lifelike and treasured." Shangguan Shanshan lowered her voice, "It's a pity that it's too heavy to move away."

Li Luotang raised his fan and covered his lips and smiled, saying that he would steal things, but he would not steal the stone scriptures.

When I entered the mountain gate, I saw the Vajra Hall on two floors.

A plaque "Huishan Temple" is hung high in the middle of the eaves, with golden characters on red background, shining in the sunshine.

On the second floor is a plaque with the "No. 1 Mountain in Jiangnan" hanging.

Huishan Temple is full of incense, and the Vajra Temple is crowded with people inside and outside, and the cigarettes are curling.

The thick sandalwood made the two of them dizzy, so they walked around the Vajra Palace.

When you pass through the Heavenly King Hall with three arches, you will see a pool of clear water as clear as blue. It is exactly the "Anutou Water" in Lu Yu's "Record of Huishan Temple".

Commonly known as the Sun and Moon Pond, there is a small and exquisite fragrant flower bridge on the pond.

Then there is the Golden Lotus Pond. There is a Golden Lotus Bridge on the pond. Unfortunately, the Golden Lotus under the bridge is not over until the flowering period, so it is impossible to enjoy the grand scenery of the Lotus step by step.

The stone bridge is beautifully shaped and carved with peony flowers and leaves and patterns of boys and girls.

After passing through the bridge, you can see the towering ginkgo tree.

Under the ginkgo tree, there is a small hexagonal pavilion called "Tingsong Pavilion". In the pavilion, there is a flat brown stone lying horizontally, with one end raised like a pillow, like a couch. This stone is the famous Tingsong stone bed.

On the side of one end of the stone bed, the word "Tingsong" in seal script is engraved. The handwriting is dignified and round, but the year and month are not signed and the book is not seen, the name of the engraved one.

"Do you know this about the legend of the pine stone bed?" Shangguan Shanshan sat down on the stone and asked with a paper fan.

"I don't know, please let Brother Xian tell me." Li Luotang bowed.

Shangguan Shanshan coughed lightly and told a story, "Legendly, this is a pine stone bed, also known as 'Yanren Stone'. No matter how tall or short a person is, he lies on the stone bed. The stone bed will follow the height of a person... It is difficult to use immortal techniques, and it will fail from then on."

"There is something unreasonable in this legend." Li Luotang was picking on it.

"Where?" Shangguan Shanshan asked.

"The ethics are so strict. How dare a woman lie down on the stone and rest?" Li Luotang asked with a smile.

"Hiss." Shangguan Shanshan pondered, "Just listen to the legend, you can't take it seriously."

Li Luotang smiled, "Let's go."

When you go out from the back door of the temple, you hear the sound of weapons breaking through the air.

The two of them left for a sound, walked through the woods, and saw a clearing.

On the open space, an old monk held a pitch-black crescent shovel in his hand.

The front and back of the shovel rod are equipped with weapons, and the front end is a meniscus-shaped shovel with a concave inner and crescent moon facing outward.

The tail is an axe-shaped shovel handle with the end edge.

It is estimated that this crescent shovel is at least seventy or eighty kilograms. This old monk can not only move, but also play with great power.

After looking at it for a while, the two of them recognized that this was the magic shovel method of Shaolin Temple.

The Demon-Suppressing Shaving Technique ranks 40th in the ranking of the 72 unique skills of Shaolin.

Although the Shaolin School is known as the origin of martial arts in the world and has excellent all the seventy-two arts, those with strict temple rules and high abilities often appear like divine dragons.

Those lay disciples cannot learn all the arts. Even if they confess themselves to being the direct descendants of Shaolin in the world, they are just a rough understanding of the fur.

But this old monk's magic shovel technique is obviously full of true teachings.

When did Huishan Temple have such close contacts with Shaolin Temple?

The monk from Shaolin Temple actually came to Huishan Temple to act as a guardian monk?

The two of them felt strange, but they couldn't show up and ask.

Even if they show up and ask, they may not be willing to answer.

After looking at each other, the two of them quietly took a few steps, used their light skills to leave, and headed to the second spring in the world.

According to legend, Lu Yu was ranked 20th in the world's water quality, and Huishan Spring was listed as the second spring in the world.

Huishan Spring Water originates from Ruobing Cave and flows out into a spring.

The spring pool has three pools, upper, middle and lower. The upper pool is octagonal, and eight small square pillars are embedded with eight stones as railings. The pond is more than three feet deep.

The water quality of the spring water in the pond is very good, the water color is transparent, sweet and delicious.

The middle pond is close to the upper pond, and is square in shape, with a light body of water and a unique flavor.
