Anecdotes of Li Yang

Yang Wensheng's ancestry is from Chengtian County, and his family runs a medicinal material business.

Liyang Valley in the southwest of Chengtian Commandery City was once a barren mountain and wild ancient times that no one cared about. The ancestors of the Yang family easily signed the land documents of Liyang Valley from the government, but they didn't know that there were rare and rare medicinal materials in the valley. From then on, the Yang family did this business.

Yang Wensheng heard from the old people that Liyang Valley used to be a small town in the valley that was not too prosperous but relatively prosperous. But after a fire, the valley was sealed off and the lake dried up. Since then, no one has lived there.I don't know how long it took, Liyang Valley returned to its original appearance, and it is still rich in medicinal materials, supporting many big and small medicine merchants.But Yang Wensheng discovered by accident when he read the Muyang County Chronicle of Chengtian County, which mentioned some fragments of Liyang Valley.

It is said that at present, there is a founding general named Luo Tang in Liyang Town.He grew up without father or mother since he was a child, wearing all kinds of clothes and eating all kinds of food.When he was 15 years old, the rich businessman of the Li family in the town appreciated him a lot and taught him to read, write and practice martial arts.What's more, this Luo Tang was very handsome, so Master Li betrothed his daughter to him, but Luo Tang was not only unwilling, but also ran away.

Although the Li family is rich and powerful, it is inevitable that they will be ridiculed behind their backs.And Miss Li was already weak, and soon died of depression, the Li family had a big relationship with Luo Tang.And this Luo Tang joined the army after leaving the Li family. He was skilled in martial arts and had extraordinary knowledge. From a soldier to a centurion, a thousand commander, a school lieutenant, a vanguard, and finally became a general that Emperor Gaoyang relied heavily on.

General Luo Tang returned to his hometown in fine clothes, and only when he returned to Liyang Town did he realize that Miss Li had long since passed away, and the Li family regarded him as a wolf-hearted person, and did not give the general any face at all, and even called him a traitor.Luo Tang didn't punish the Li family, left a lot of money and went to guard the frontier.More than ten years later, General Luo's body was shrouded in horse leather, and Emperor Gaoyang honorably buried the general who had followed him for decades.

Yang Wensheng happened to pass through Mocheng on this trip, so he decided to go to Moshan to appreciate the scenery of Mowen Lake.

One was that he wanted to pay tribute to the fellow general, and the other was that he always felt that the location of General Luo's tomb was strange.

Why isn't the general's mausoleum built in his hometown or guarded around the imperial mausoleum?Maybe it's just good feng shui here.

So what happened to the fire?

The time of Luo Tang's death was very close to the time when the fire broke out in Liyang Valley. Emperor Gaoyang ordered the mountain to be closed, and the survivors of Liyang Valley were resettled elsewhere. After so many years, no one knows what happened that year .It's just that people of the older generation often hear that there is a mysterious person guarding the general's mausoleum, but they don't know it.This caused that period of time to become a breaking point. General Luo's past and future were finalized by a few words in the county annals, and his curiosity was faint.

"Wen Sheng, come on, get on the horse!" Liu Shanghe rode on a relatively strong black donkey, reaching out to Yang Wensheng.

Yang Wensheng stood still, "Your Excellency has been buried in the earth for many years, and when you see the sun again, you don't even know the difference between a donkey and a horse?"

"Why care about these details? I saw that you were faltering, so I specially rented a donkey to stand in for you." Liu Shanghe looked sincere.

Hearing this, Yang Wensheng felt a dull pain in his temple.Although he felt a little tired, he hadn't faltered yet, had he? !He looked around and found that there were indeed no horses renting nearby. They were all donkeys and cattle of various colors. The black donkey that Liu Shanghe was riding was quite strong.Still said: "Thank you for your kindness, it is really not suitable to ride together, I will rent another one."

"Why does Wen Sheng have to be so polite? This is for you to rent. This deity is just trying to see if this donkey is hot-tempered for you, so as not to throw you off. Besides, why does this deity need a substitute foot?"

The corner of Yang Wensheng's mouth couldn't help twitching, at this time Liu Shanghe had turned over and handed him the reins.

"Wen Sheng, hurry up, we have to find a place to live before dark."

Hearing this, Yang Wensheng swallowed a mouthful of old blood, turned over and rode on the donkey, swung the reins, and drove the donkey forward.

Liu Shanghe waved his folding fan and followed the black donkey quite calmly.

When they arrived at Mowen Lake, it was not too late, the sun had faded from the scorching heat, the breeze was blowing, and the surrounding flowers and trees were lush and flourishing.Mowen Lake maintains the appearance of a natural lake, without any traces of man-made repairs. There is only a huge stone standing beside the lake, which is written in seal script "Mowen".The lake water is dark blue and dark, and the surface of the mirror is slightly textured. It really is a beautiful scenery with green mountains and green waters. Yang Wensheng is in a good mood.

And Liu Shanghe squatted on the boulder long ago, stretched his muscles and bones, and said lazily: "Facing such a beautiful scenery, why doesn't Wen Sheng chant some words to express his feelings?"

Yang Wensheng raised his eyebrows and looked at the man on the boulder, "Mr. Yang is not talented. If you want to express your feelings, Mr. Yang should listen to you!" A ghost would do such a strange thing!

Liu Shanghe leaped, his clothes fluttering, and he landed silently. He tossed his hair quite coolly, "Then listen carefully."

For no reason there is water and there is no mountain for no reason,

There is no reason to root for the funeral pyre.

A hundred years of life and death do not matter,

Let's take advantage of poetry and wine.

Yang Wensheng pretended to admire and said: "I didn't expect that Ge not only has extraordinary martial arts skills, but also excellent doggerel kung fu. I admire, admire!" But he said in his heart, he really didn't want to know this person.

Liu Shanghe said with a smile: "I saw you laughing, this is the first time for me to compose a poem."

Yang Wensheng nodded slightly, and could see it, "Don't you want to come up with a topic?"

"It's better to call it 'You Mowen Lake Feeling'."

Yang Wensheng couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

Yang Wensheng said euphemistically: "The topic is too straightforward and lengthy, please keep it simple, how about 'Don't Ask'?"

Liu Shanghe closed his fan, tapped his left hand, and said with a smile, "Very good, very good."

After walking around the lake for a while, the two came to a crabapple tree that was about a hundred years old. Yang Wensheng just looked up at the crown of the tree when Liu Shanghe rushed to the tree.Yang Wensheng was not surprised, and directly ignored Liu Shanghe's bright smile, and walked a little far away from him, so as not to accidentally fall and hit him.

At this moment, suddenly shouted: "Who is playing wild here!"
