Chapter 237
Qiu Wuhen was startled. It didn't look like she was deliberately saying something sarcastic, which was even more strange. However, Qiu Wuhen herself was not sure. She didn't know how to write this word?
So I just gave a random compliment, but I didn't expect that in Tang Yan's eyes, these words didn't catch her eye at all, and they were worthless. Qiu Wuhen was a little embarrassed. It seemed that he had to be careful in the future and not make random comments.
It is easy to open a yellow cavity.
While talking, Zhu Qi and the others finally reached the hill out of breath and could no longer walk. They sat down on the wooden stools by the roadside and fanned themselves vigorously.
Zhu Qi went up to the hill and wiped his sweat. Cui Liu quickly came over to fan him.
Zhu Qi wiped his sweat and fanned the wind and said: "It's great, I haven't climbed a mountain for a long time. This mountain climbing is painful at the beginning and tired after running up. But when you climb to the top of the mountain, you feel that joyful and refreshing mood, which you can never feel on the ground."
This is a kind of happiness that comes after all hardships, and only people who climb mountains can appreciate it. By the way, didn't Du Fu say that he would be at the top of the mountain and see all the small mountains at a glance? That's the mood he wrote about, and you all have this mood now.
?"
Several people looked at each other, panting, how could they talk about their mood? Only Qiu Wuhen said: "Yes, this feeling is quite refreshing."
Tang Yan shook her head: "You're lying, you don't feel this good at all. When you came up just now, it was as if nothing had happened, and you commented on how well the writing was. You were completely careless and didn't care. Otherwise, how could you feel that the writing was good?
Okay?"
Only then did everyone look at the three big characters engraved on the stone tablet. Sure enough, when they saw it, several people shook their heads together.
Zhu Qi said: "The person who wrote these three characters must have just practiced inscriptions not long ago, so the writing of these characters is boring. Especially the vertical one looks crooked, and the characters cannot stand up! In addition, the carving is not good.
The thickness of the pen is uneven in some places, and I don’t know whether I should blame the person who carved the monument or the person who wrote the calligraphy. Anyway, any scholar I can find would probably write better than this."
Everyone laughed again. Ni Hui said: "Perhaps some rich man was really bored and had a son with no future. He wanted his son to be famous, so he paid someone to carve his son's name on it.
For him, he has publicized his son's name and is determined to become famous. For people from all over the world who pass by here, it is too disgusting. If Feitian among the Three Kingdoms are at this level, then our trip today will be in vain.
.”
Mao Ronggen said: "I have been here, but it was many years ago. At that time, I thought the words on it still had some literary talent. Of course, my personal appreciation ability is limited, and maybe what I like may not be liked by everyone, but at least I
I think it’s still okay.”
Zhu Qi immediately nodded and said: "If you think the inscription inside is okay, then that's fine. I believe that your vision can prevent everyone from being disappointed. Let's continue."
When he said this, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the sky in confusion and said: "Second Master, there are dark clouds over there coming this way. It may rain in the afternoon."
"What's wrong with the rain? If it rains, will this mountain be closed to no one?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant. I'm afraid I'll get the second master and the eldest master wet."
"Didn't we bring umbrellas? We also brought tents."
"It's all carried on their backs."
"That's ok, let's move on,"
Ni Hui also set up a pergola and looked into the distance, saying: "There is indeed a row of black lines on the horizon, which seems to be black clouds, but it is not coming this way, so it is difficult to see clearly."
Wanran said: "Master, we are coming this way. But judging from the speed of the clouds flowing now, it is estimated that it will take at least an hour. Maybe we have to find a shelter from the rain as soon as possible within an hour, so as not to be in a hurry.
"
Qiu Wuhen said with admiration: "That's right. You actually know astronomy and can judge the time when clouds come over."
"After all, I am old, I have heard a lot, seen a lot, and know a little. But this old slave's ability is nothing. It is not as good as the second master. That is the real ability."
Zhu Qi said to several other people: "We have to get into the canyon quickly. If a heavy rain comes, we can at least take shelter in the canyon."
Everyone then quickened their pace, and sure enough, the black line was a dark cloud, gradually filling their heads.
When they entered the canyon, heavy rain finally came down. Fortunately, they had umbrellas with them, and each of them held one. Zhu Qi looked at Ni Hui when he asked whether to set up a tent. He was the leader here. Ni Hui looked at it.
Look, he stretched out his hand to catch some rainwater. It was not raining heavily, so he said, "Let's take advantage of the rain to travel to the mountains. Maybe it will be a different experience."
Anyway, it is summer now, and the rain feels refreshing. Tang Yan is naturally happy. She has been kept at home since she was a child, and this time she can finally go out to study with her master. The most important thing is that she can travel with the master to visit the beautiful mountains and rivers. She is even more happy. Thinking of this,
He said happily: "Great, that's what I had in mind. Let's take a walk, isn't there a lot of steles in this canyon?"
Mao Longgen said: "You'll start to see them about a mile or two further in, and there will be them for about ten miles, large and small."
They walked along the mountain stream, and there was a narrow path in the mountain stream. It was obviously left by the people who looked at the monuments and carved them. But Mao Longgen, the only one who had been here, said: "This road can lead to another market town.
It is a super short-cut path, but you have to climb this big mountain, which is not as good as the other official road below. Although it is a long way around, you don’t have to climb the mountain. However, travelers who want to take a shortcut sometimes take this road, so people will pass by from time to time.
Don't worry."
Having said that, they met almost no one as they walked along the path, and the path on the ground was also overgrown with weeds, as if no one had walked on it for a long time. There were stones everywhere in the mountain stream, and the weeds were nowhere to be found.
block.
A small stream appeared intermittently in the mountain stream, sometimes hidden under the rocks, sometimes winding between the rocks. The water in the stream was clear and bright, but not a single fish could be seen. Perhaps it was because of the rain that they hid in the water.
Went under the stone.
After walking another mile or two, Tang Yan finally screamed: "Look, there are words carved on the cliff over there."
Sure enough, the mountain stream was winding, and a rock wall several feet high directly opposite them was engraved with the words "Tongyou". The writing of these two words was extremely simple, even weird, and it took careful identification to recognize it. If
If it weren't for the few people around him who read it out, Qiu Wuhen wouldn't be able to recognize it. The writing was too weird. After they all read out these two words, Qiu Wuhen could vaguely recognize them. It was indeed these two words.
Well, the writing is so strange that it even makes people feel uneasy.
I don’t know which dynasty these two words were engraved in. There is neither a signature nor a nomination, nor a seal. There are just two words that are so abrupt. Moreover, the color has long since fallen off, and the carved lines are also mottled.
It has fallen off a lot, and it is probably because of this that the word has become difficult to read.
Continuing along the mountain stream, I suddenly heard a rumbling sound. Several people stopped and looked at each other. Wanran said to Zhu Qi: "Second Master, don't worry, this should be the sound of the wind blowing into the valley. The old slave heard it
The sound they made as they scraped through the treetops."
Mao Longgen laughed loudly and said: "You have very good ears. There is indeed a strange sound left by the wind blowing into the mountain stream, so the locals on this cliff call it Longyin Valley, a place where tigers roar and dragons roar. Because
The wind blowing into the valley creates a strange echo, nothing else. People who have just come here will be frightened by this strange sound, but it is actually just the sound of the wind."
Everyone laughed, and Ni Hui said: "Listening to this voice, could it be the source of groundless rumors?"
Everyone laughed. They walked to the word "Tongyou" and stopped to watch. Although it was raining, it was not heavy and did not affect the words "watch and learn". But everyone shook their heads when they saw it. Gao Yang said: "These two
The calligraphy is also ordinary and does not feel very vigorous. Is it possible that it is because the handwriting has been damaged after being mottled and cannot be seen clearly? "
Mao Jie shook his head and said: "Even though the handwriting is mottled, the profound skill contained in this calligraphy can still be seen."
Ni Hui said: "You can see it clearly, and I think so too."
Mao Jie quickly raised his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Miao Zan."
He wanted to clasp his fists, so he could only put the umbrella on his shoulders and hold it down with his hands. But at that moment, a gust of wind blew over and blew his umbrella back. He screamed and turned around to go.
Fortunately, a follower behind him who was carrying a big bag jumped up and grabbed the umbrella, landed it firmly on the ground, then collected the umbrella and handed it to him.
Qiu Wuhen let out a sigh of relief when he saw it, and said, "This brother is so skilled. He can jump so high while carrying such a big bag and can catch it so accurately."
Zhu Qi smiled and said: "The banker is just doing things. He only has the strength to do it."
The servant cupped his fists and raised his hands, and said to Qiu Wuhen, "Thank you for the compliment, sir."
Along the way, there were more and more stone carvings from the beginning of this quiet passage, but many of the stone carvings were mottled and peeled off. Suddenly Ni Hui pointed to a piece of writing and shouted: "Look, everyone, it seems like someone has carved it on it."
Destroyed it with an ax or something."
Everyone looked at it and saw that it was indeed a poem. However, most of the content had been smashed away, and the marks were very obvious as they were slashed with knives and axes.
Ni Hui turned to Mao Longgen and said: "Master Mao, you are the executioner. Why don't you come and see what's going on with this trace? Could it be that some strange case happened here?"
His words were obviously ridiculing. Mao Longgen also smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Sir, you are joking. Although Beizhi is in the Criminal Division, he is just a copywriter. But from Beizhong's point of view, this may be a picture.
For a work that failed, I originally wanted to chisel it out and re-engrav it, or the owner who engraved the calligraphy felt dissatisfied after the calligraphy was finished and asked them to re-engrav it. So I wanted to chise it out and re-carve it.
