Returning wild geese in autumn

Chapter 6: Shocking Chronicles

The two wanted to take a closer look at the place they were in, but the roof of the building they were in was not the highest nearby, and there was some mist this morning, the nearby ones were alright, but the distant ones were all blurred.The two looked at each other, and tacitly decided to go to the top of the tallest building in the vicinity to have a look first!

In order to prevent shocking the world, the two deliberately concealed themselves, wandered around the tallest nearby building, and followed the others into the building.After people entered the building, they went to different rooms. The two dared not wander around. After groping, they found a door leading to the upper floor, but there were few people.

Climbing up the stairs, one floor after another, seems to lead to the kingdom of heaven, without end, but there is no lack of voices on every floor.The two of them were rather strange. There were very few people climbing along the way, so how did the people on each floor come up?

—Maybe there are other paths!The thought flashed across the minds of the two of them, but they didn't have the energy to deal with it.All the way up, and finally boarded the highest floor.The two exhaled, and while there was no one around, they turned over and went up to the roof.

Standing at the highest point, the field of vision is indeed much wider, just like standing on the top of the mountain overlooking the village below.The two of them looked far away, and saw that there were many giant houses all around them, but the woods they used to see had almost disappeared, only sporadic dots of green dotted between the giant houses, looking down, people are like ants, without horses The strange car that flies around like a small box...

The morning mist is like a fairyland.

Looking all the way, the world has brought them enough surprises. If the two of them were not cautious by nature, they would have made some jokes because of their reckless recklessness.This place is completely unfamiliar to them, and the two of them don't even know how they got here.

As time goes by, the mist gradually dissipates, and the surrounding scenery and humanities slowly come into view, and I remember them one by one in my heart. How should I live in such a world?While he was thinking, Bai Yutang's surprised voice suddenly came from his ear:

"Cat, look!"

"What?" Zhan Zhao looked in the direction he was pointing, his wide-open eyes were full of surprise.

About half a mile to the left, there is a group of buildings that make them feel very friendly, with flying eaves and brackets, simple and majestic, which is obviously different from the architectural style around them.Because they are basically short bungalows, they didn't notice it when they looked at them just now.At this moment, although the building was different from what they were used to, it obviously belonged to the category they were familiar with!

Could it be that there are people like them there?Zhan Zhao felt his heart beating fast. He looked at Bai Yutang, who was full of radiance, and the thoughts in his eyes were undoubtedly the same as his own:

Either way, be sure to check it out first!

Maybe the answer they've been wanting to know is out there!

"Dear tourists, the Baogong Cultural Tourist Area has arrived. Now please follow me and visit the first scenic spot in the Baogong Cultural Tourist Area: Baogong Temple. Baogong Temple is a special temple dedicated to Bao Zheng, a famous official in the Northern Song Dynasty. Its full name is "" The Ancestral Hall of Bao Xiaosu". The word "Xiaosu" is the posthumous title given to Bao Gong by Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty after his death...."

A crisp and pleasant voice floated from afar——a pretty little girl in a white collarless sleeveless shirt and knee-length shorts, holding a small yellow flag in her right hand and a strange-shaped trumpet in her left, walking Said that there were more than a dozen people scattered behind him, men, women, young and old, in different shapes, or in pairs, or strolling alone, some looked around, some listened attentively, some whispered and laughed, and some had something in common. But everyone is carrying a bag, either on their back or on their shoulders or carried or carried, and the colors and sizes are also different. Even the little girl holding the flag at the front is carrying a light and beautiful orange bag across her shoulders.

"Baogong Temple is backed by South Huancheng Road, facing water on three sides, full of lotuses, and shaded by green trees. Because Bao Zheng is a model of upright officials praised by people, Baogong Temple is also famous for it. Together with Xiaoyaojin and Mingjiao Temple, it is called Hefei Three major scenic spots and historical sites. According to the "Luzhou Fu Zhi" records..."

Bao Gong... posthumous title, posthumous title? ! ...Luzhou Fuzhi...

——When he left, Mr. Bao was in good health, why was he given a posthumous title by the emperor?

Avoiding crowded places along the way, the two Zhaobai who came here were dumbfounded after hearing what the tour guide said.That's all for Bai Yutang, but the surprise in Zhan Zhao's heart became more and more serious.The words he heard just now reverberated in his mind like a roar, his fists tightened and then loosened, and he couldn't tell what kind of feeling he felt in his heart.

It's just that strange things happened one after another along the way, and the two of them were less surprised at the beginning. They looked at each other, moved lightly in unison, and followed the group of people waiting, while visiting Bao Gong Temple, while listening carefully. Listening to the conversations of the people, I am afraid that I will lose any clues.

At this time, I have entered the gate of Bao Gong Temple. The lady tour guide glanced at the curious tourists behind her, smiled slightly, and continued with experience:

"Please turn around and look back. You are facing the wall with a white background and black frame in front of the gate of Bao Gong Temple. With a fresh fragrance..."

The two looked in the direction pointed by the tour guide, and the picture wall clearly came into their eyes.Looking at the murals on the wall, Zhan Zhao secretly sighed, "Out of the mud but not stained", it is indeed an appropriate description for adults...

After crossing the mountain gate, stepping on the bluestone path on the emerald cage smoke and the shimmering blue water, you will see a small stone bridge.There are two lions carved in stone on the left and right of the bridge head. The one on the left plays with the cub with its left foot, and the one on the right entertains itself with a hydrangea ball under its right foot. The obviously lively scene is full of vicissitudes.Faintly Zhaobai and Bai also felt an indescribable vicissitudes of life in their hearts, and they were at a loss...

Crossing the small stone bridge under the shade of green trees, you are facing a courtyard house built with white walls and blue tiles, and a plaque that reads "Bao Xiaosu's Ancestral Hall" hangs above it.On the two black lacquered mountain gates under the plaque, the couplets of "loyalty and virtuous generals" and "moral masters" are engraved in official script.The appearance of the entire temple looks simple and solemn, which is awe-inspiring.

Entering from the mountain gate, there are two incense burners standing in the middle of the square courtyard. The incense burns in the burners, and the faint scent of sandalwood fills the nostrils. After that is the main hall, with five bays, and a huge golden statue of Bao Gong sits in the middle.The statue is about eight feet long, holding a wat in one hand and a pen in the other. On its bronze face, with thick eyebrows and long beard, it doesn't have much resemblance to the real Mr. Bao, but its expression is dignified, upright and powerful.There are two standing statues on each side. Judging from the costumes, they should be the four guards of Chao Dynasty, Ma Han, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu.There are five horizontal plaques hanging high above, and the four characters "Sezheng Manghan" on the central plaque.

On the right wall of the statue of Bao Gong, there is a stone inlaid with a black and bright texture. The statue of Bao Zheng on the stone is carved lifelike, giving people an image of a blue sky with a face like iron, air like a rainbow, and iron bones. Portrait of Duke Xiaosu".This stone carving is different from the golden statue of Bao Zheng in the middle of the main hall in terms of production and technique, but they are all far from the real Master Bao.

"The portrait on the stone carving is said to be Bao Zheng's true face. It is said that when Bao Zheng was in Kaifeng Mansion, he often went deep into the scene to handle cases. The people often crowded him so hard that he couldn't move an inch..."

Pfft~~ Bai Yutang covered his mouth with a low smile and said, "Mao'er, so that is the real face of your lord, the one in Kaifeng Mansion is a counterfeit one!"

Zhan Zhao stared, "Stop talking nonsense! My lord is loyal to the emperor and loves the people, and is an upright official. Don't be rude!"

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, and had no choice but to turn around to look at the "Bao Zheng Family Instructions" on the stone carving on the east wall. Among the tombs. If you do not follow my will, you are not my descendants..."

Bai Yutang looked at it and nodded secretly. Although he always heard about how Bao Qingtian was upright and caring for the people in the past, he only heard about it.Bai Yutang never cared about things that he didn't see with his own eyes.But just looking at these few words at this time, it is enough to show Master Bao's character, no wonder the cat chose to give up the world to protect him...

He squinted at Zhan Zhao, and the little depression in his chest that had been due to his dedication to the officialdom finally dissipated.At this moment, Bai Yutang finally let go of all his prejudices and knots about Zhan Zhao, and began to look squarely at this man named "Zhan Zhao".

At least now he can be sure that this person should be a reliable friend.

After visiting the main hall, the two followed other passengers to look at the East and West Wings. In the room, there are "Introduction to Bao Zheng's Life", "Fu Guocheng Map of Hefei County", "Fragrant Flower Pier Map", "Song History" and topography recording Bao Zheng's deeds. Book, "Picture of Bao Gong Handling Cases", rubbings of cliff stone carvings of "Qishan" written by Bao Gong in Guichi, and Bao's genealogy.From the genealogy, it can be seen that 35 generations have been traced back to Bao Zheng, followed by 37 generations, a total of more than 2800 years.

Everyone glanced around and went to the next scenic spot. Only Yu Zhaobai, facing Bao's genealogy, petrified on the spot...

Pao's genealogy...following 37 generations...cultural relics...and posthumous titles...

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Yutang suddenly rushed forward, grabbed the lady tour guide who was standing not far away, and asked in an almost stern tone:

"Da Song... How many years has it been since Bao Gong?!"

The tour guide was taken aback, startled by Bai Yutang's sudden movement.Hearing his question, he replied reflexively in panic:

"940, [-] three years (Note [-])..."

Nine……

At this moment, Bai Yutang was completely stunned. He didn't notice that the tour guide hurriedly got away while he was in a daze, and he didn't notice that other tourists were pointing at him. He just murmured:

"It turned out to be... a thousand years later..."

At this time, Zhan Zhao also froze after hearing the words of the tour guide, only to feel the buzzing in his mind, which became a mess.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Note 1062: This year is calculated from the year when Bao Zheng died (that is, AD 2005) to the year that the two crossed (that is, AD [-]), not the two serious crossing times^^
