Tomb Robber: I, Chen Yulou, am dedicated to cultivating immortality!

Pass the east gate and go to Chaoyang Tower.

Walking through the long streets paved with bluestones.

I thought it was similar to Nanjian Ancient City, just a small border town.

But to the surprise of the group, although Jianshui City is indeed not big, it has high-walled gardens all the way, three vertical and horizontal, carved beams and painted buildings, cornices and brackets, the buildings are in an orderly layout, and the courtyards are arranged in layers.

It is clearly an ancient garden that can only be seen in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

In addition, there are the ancient pagodas of Fenfo Temple from the Nanzhao Kingdom period, the double pavilion and seventeen-hole stone arch bridge, and the unique loess palace of the Yi people.

of course.

What surprised them the most.

There are also academies scattered throughout the city.

After walking for less than half an hour, I had already seen four ancient academies.

Lin'an Fuxue, Chongzheng, Huanwen and Chongwen.

Amidst the flickering lights, there was the sound of reading aloud.

You know, this scene is rare even in Xiangyin.

I found out after asking a random local.

The culture of advocating Confucianism and reading in Jianshui City is one of the best in southern Yunnan.

As early as hundreds of years ago.

Lin'an Prefecture accounted for about half of those who passed the imperial examination in southern Yunnan, ranking first in southern Yunnan, so it was also called Lin'an Prefecture.

Since ancient times, scholars in Lin'an Prefecture have taken the imperial examination and become officials in the dynasty.

After retiring from office, he returned to the city and either built a large academy or went to school to teach.

It is precisely because of this.

Therefore, for hundreds of thousands of years, every household in Jianshui City, whether Han, Yi or Wa, is proud of reading.

Even in today's troubled times.

The trend of reading still remains unabated.

Most of the people in the group were old Jianghu people who had traveled far and wide. They had never seen such a scene before.

Many people on the mountain still think that they will settle down when they are rich.

Those who looked a little further, only thought about risking their lives to gain wealth, then go down the mountain to buy a few acres of fertile land, marry a daughter-in-law and start a business, but they never thought about studying.

For a moment, I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Even if it was Chen Yulou, it was rare for him to feel emotional.

This trip to Zhelong Mountain.

Almost across the entire territory of southern Yunnan.

Jianshui City was definitely the only place he had ever seen that had such a vision.

Unfortunately.

If it were a prosperous time, Jianshui City would definitely be considered a paradise.

Are there any eggs under the overturned nest?

"Find a place to rest first. Brothers are tired after running around for a few days."

Chen Yulou casually pointed to a restaurant next to him and said calmly.

This trip is not far away for hundreds of miles.

I made a special trip to Fuxian Lake.

It’s not just to enjoy the scenery here.

After walking for a day, it’s important to get enough rest and recharge your batteries to face the dangers on the lake.

"Yes, from the shopkeeper."

The group of people subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

They don't know why, but listening to the sound of reading coming from the academy feels inexplicable pressure on them.

"Everyone, do you want to eat or stay in a hotel?"

Seeing the cavalry team approaching, the old shopkeeper who was originally checking the account books in the building did not dare to delay. He took the initiative to take over the responsibility of the shopkeeper and smiled at everyone.

"The shopkeeper's accent sounds like he's from Sichuan?"

When Chen Yulou heard the shopkeeper speak, he couldn't help but say.

"Yes, Sichuan North Road..."

The shopkeeper was stunned.

But he reacted quickly.

He fled the famine and came to Jianshui City when he was a teenager. More than thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye. His temples have been stained with frost, but his local accent has never changed.

Over the years, he has seen many Han people coming and going.

Most of them are businessmen.

His eyes glanced at the heavy bamboo basket on the horse, and he had a suspicion in his heart.

This group of people is probably the same.

"It should be called Jialing Road now."

"Yes, yes, Jialing Road, I don't know why it has been changed all day long. One moment it is established as a state, another moment it is changed, and I am afraid it will be withdrawn again in a few years."

The old shopkeeper seemed quite dissatisfied with this and muttered in a low voice.

Hearing this, Chen Yulou just shook his head and smiled.

This was the case at the beginning of the Republic of China. The establishment was in chaos and orders were changed day by day. It was understandable that the old shopkeeper would have complaints.

After all, it is my hometown.

I changed my name every three days.

I am far away in a foreign land, and sometimes I don't see a single Han person for a year or so, and even fewer people know about North Sichuan Road.

"Hey, I'm just saying this, everyone, please go in first."

After coming back to his senses, the old shopkeeper patted his forehead, smiled apologetically, stepped aside quickly, and invited everyone to enter the building.

"it is good."

Even though it’s a meal.

But there were not many guests in the building.

There were only a few tables and the lobby seemed empty.

However, the old shopkeeper still specially invited the group to the second floor and ordered the waiters to make tea.

Return the peach.

Chen Yulou was naturally not stingy and asked the old shopkeeper to serve the food.

From the first meeting.

The old shopkeeper felt that he had an extraordinary bearing, and at this moment he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

Want to get acquainted.

I personally went to the cellar to get a pot of aged cave.

Seeing this situation, how could Chen Yulou refuse? There is no more suitable person than the old shopkeeper regarding the matter of Fuxian Lake.

Wait until a few glasses of wine are gone.

Taking advantage of his drunkenness, Chen Yulou pretended to be curious.

"By the way, old shopkeeper, on the way here, Chen heard someone say that the Fairy Lake has not been peaceful in the past few years. What is this situation?"

Listen to him ask.

The old shopkeeper put down his wine glass and sighed.

"The tide rises every year and floods many villages. Those fishermen who depend on the water do not dare to go into the water. There is no peace."

"Isn't this Immortal Lake a mountain lake? Why does it have tides?"

Chen Yulou frowned, indeed a little confused.

When I entered the city in the evening before.

Standing on the top of the Hezi boat, he specifically looked at the large lake outside the city from a distance.

The water area of ​​Fuxian Lake is vast, much larger than the creeks and lakes seen along the way. However, it is surrounded by mountains and the terrain is low. Logically speaking, there should be no storms and waves.

"Who says it isn't?"

"I have been coming to Jianshui for 30 years, and I have never seen this scene a few times."

The old shopkeeper nodded.

He actually cares more about the situation on the lake than anyone else.

After all, if you open a restaurant by the lake, all your guests will eat is lake delicacies.

I have indeed developed several signboards over the years, otherwise the business would not be as good as it is.

But in the past two years, the restaurant's business has plummeted. Not to mention new customers, the old people who used to come to the restaurant also don't come very often.

There is no other reason.

The waves were rolling on the lake.

Those who fishermen dare not go into the water.

Therefore, the current situation has been created. Although they are guarding hundreds of acres of lake water, there is almost no fish to eat.

Sometimes, it’s not easy to catch a fish in a net.

Before entering the city, he was robbed by several other companies.
