1. Legend
After finishing the final exam, after my repeated begging, my parents finally agreed to send me back to my hometown for the summer vacation. Now, my cousin and my family are enjoying the cool air on the ground behind the house, and there are sounds of frogs not far away. At night, the rocky moth on the edge of the town looks like a lion looking up at the night sky, majestic and mysterious.
"Grandma, can you tell Xiaoxuan the story of the Fairy House?" My cousin was saying as he slapped my grandma on the back.
"Okay." Grandma smiled and shook her feather fan. Her voice made the story seem so old, "I don't know which dynasty it was, but a Taoist priest passed by here and found that the rocky mountain resembled a The dragon..."
"It looks like a lion!" I couldn't hold it back and interjected.
My cousin looked at me with a smile and said, "It looks like a dragon. You can see it if you look at it from another angle."
Grandma continued: "Taoist priests think the Feng Shui here is special. Well, he chose an auspicious day and an auspicious time, and summoned the gods to cut stones in the mountain, intending to build a castle here. However, the careless Taoist priest forgot to tell the father-in-law about this in advance. As a result, the castle was less than half completed, and the gods were invited away by the father-in-law. . So to this day, the castle has not been completed. There are still ruins of the castle."
My cousin tilted his head and asked me, "Xiao Xuan, do you want to be an explorer when you grow up?" ? "
"Of course! "For boys, what is more exciting than adventure?
"I will take you on an adventure tomorrow," my cousin said. "I heard that the Fairy House in Dazhuli has many secrets..."
2. Castle
There is a section of stone steps under the city wall on the side of the town, leading to a deep funnel-shaped pit under the giant cockroach. There is a stone wall on the top of the pit, and there is a path up the mountain in the middle.
My cousin said: "Go down to the Taoist well. The water in the well is very sweet. Let's drink enough before we go up the mountain."
Looking down from the mouth of the well, the water in the well is crystal clear, and there are It is a well hole the size of a small door, and the well water emerges from there.
I followed my cousin's example and knelt down by the well to drink water. Several small fish with beards swam in and out of the well. They are as long as a finger, and their bodies are as transparent as glass. From the outside, you can see their slender spines and curved intestines.
I asked in surprise: "What kind of fish is that? Its body is actually transparent!"
"This is the Yin River fish. This well is connected to the Yin River. I heard that there is a fish in the Yin River. There is a cave several miles long, but no one knows where the entrance to the Yin River is."
As I looked at the well at the bottom of the water, I felt more and more mysterious.
Above the deep pit is a cliff made of layers of granite. On the top of the cliff is the fairy house. After a lot of effort, we finally reached Xianjiawu, which is indeed the remains of an ancient castle.
The stone city wall is like a dam across the city, and the weeds in the gaps in the wall sway slightly in the wind. There are no palaces or houses as expected behind the city wall. There are scattered stones everywhere, looming among the weeds.
I pointed to the city wall and asked my cousin: "How come they suddenly ignored the construction of such a big project? Grandma said it was because of the landowner, but I don't believe it."
My cousin scratched his head and said, "We can see if there are any inscriptions on these stones - it would be best to find a stone tablet with dynasties or something engraved on it."
We collected all the scattered stones. I checked carefully and found nothing.
3. Clues
Just when I was a little frustrated, my cousin suddenly said: "I heard that Daya recently picked up an ancient porcelain piece with a pattern in the Fairy House. It says There may be clues that can unlock the secret of Xianjiawu. But Da Ya is very fond of the porcelain pieces. If we want to see them, we have to fight with him."
"Betta?" I was confused. Shuidi looked at his cousin.
My cousin took me back and explained: "Da Ya has a treasure box, and the porcelain pieces are placed in it. He has raised a majestic male fish. If he wants to see the porcelain pieces, he has to fight with them first. The Big-Yak Big-Year Fighting Fish."
Listening to my cousin describe the numerous achievements of the Big-Year Big-Year fighting fish, I almost gave up: "Why is it so difficult to see a piece of porcelain?"
"If Xiaoxuan wants to see the tiles, Douyu can wait first.
"When I looked up, I realized that my cousin and I had already arrived at the door of Daya's house. Daya looked at me with a smile and said, "Xiao Xuan, long time no see!" What do you want ancient porcelain pieces for? "
I said: "We want to find out the secret of the fairy house. "I want to know who built the castle when, and why they gave up halfway." "The cousin added.
"Here, here you go. "Da Ya opened the treasure box cheerfully, and carefully took out the porcelain tiles and handed them to me. The palm-sized porcelain tiles were as white as eggshells, with a very soft luster. Under the glaze, a fat carp was painted in beautiful blue, which was very beautiful. It smells like a children's painting.
I quickly mobilized all the historical knowledge in my brain, but I couldn't figure out which dynasty this piece of porcelain belonged to. My cousin looked at me with a sad face. Suggested: "Let's take the porcelain piece and ask Teacher Wan, he is a 'know-it-all', maybe he will know it at a glance. "
"It's summer vacation now. Where can we find Teacher Wan? "I asked.
Daya laughed loudly: "He lives in the school. We went together, and I happened to have a homework question to ask him. ”
4. Teacher Wan
Teacher Wan is tall and thin, with a wide and round forehead. He has a shaved head and white hair. He wears black-rimmed glasses. Wearing a white shirt, blue trousers and black leather shoes, with a Parker pen in his left breast pocket, and an old Shanghai watch on his thin white left wrist, he looked very bookish.
I picked it up. He took out the porcelain piece and handed it to Teacher Wan: "Teacher Wan, we would like to ask which dynasty this porcelain piece is from? "
Daya said to Teacher Wan: "I found this in Xianjiawu. If you know the dynasty of the porcelain pieces, you can know which dynasty the Fairy House is from, right? ”
Teacher Wan took the porcelain piece and observed it carefully, rubbing the edge of the porcelain piece from time to time. At this time, I looked curiously at Teacher Wan’s study room. There was a table in front of his desk. There is an oversized rechargeable flashlight with a head as big as a small bowl. There are several archeology books on the bookshelf next to the desk, and there is a thick photo album sandwiched between them.
Could it be that Teacher Wan is secretly investigating Xian. The secret of Jiawu?
"Why do you want to know the dynasty of Xianjiawu? "Teacher Wan's question interrupted my guess. My cousin touched the back of his head and said, "We are just curious. ”
“This is blue and white porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty. "Teacher Wan pulled out a box from under the desk and took out a porcelain bowl. The porcelain bowl was of an old style, with three fish painted on the inside, and water plants painted between the fish. Take a closer look, you can see the porcelain bowl with big teeth and fish The fish on the slices are exactly the same. If you touch the porcelain bowl, the wall thickness is also the same.
"It has been more than ten years since I picked up this bowl. I guess that the Fairy House is probably related to the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Yunzhi. "Teacher Wan seemed to have remembered something very far away.
5. Evidence
Daya looked at Teacher Wan doubtfully and asked: "Didn't you just say that this porcelain bowl is from the Yuan Dynasty?
Teacher Wan smiled slightly and said: "The Yuan Dynasty only lasted for a few decades, but porcelain can be used for a long time." It is entirely possible that the porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty was preserved until the early Ming Dynasty. "
"I know Zhu Yunzhi! "I rushed to answer, "After Zhu Yuanzhang died, Zhu Yunzhen became the emperor. His uncle Zhu Di, the Fourth Emperor, rebelled and seized the throne. Legend has it that Zhu Yunzhe and the ministers who were willing to follow him shaved their heads, disguised themselves as monks, escaped from the palace through a secret passage, and went into exile. "
The cousin asked: "A place like ours is full of mountains. Zhu Yun? Shanfu vinegar Suncai Chujun?
"In the Ming Dynasty, this place was more beautiful than now. It's remote and sparsely populated. Zhu Yunzhi must find this kind of place to avoid Zhu Di's pursuers." Teacher Wan explained.
I looked at Teacher Wan and boldly speculated: "Teacher Wan, have you found any evidence?"
Teacher Wan pointed in the direction of the giant moth and said: "The Xianjia House is the evidence. I checked the county annals and found that there are records of repairing roads and bridges. But there is no record of such a big project as the Xianjia House. Do you think it's strange? From the architectural style, the Xianjia House is exactly the Ming Dynasty. It was left over from the early days of the dynasty; judging from the scale of the building, its owner must have been extremely powerful.
Think about it, in the early Ming Dynasty, which big shot would hide in the mountains to build a castle and be afraid of exposing his identity? "
The cousin clenched his fists and his cheeks turned red, "If the castle was really built by the emperor, then this would be a scenic spot! ”
Teacher Wan said: “The whereabouts of Zhu Yunzhi is an unsolved case that no one has been able to solve for more than 600 years. If we can prove that Xianjiawu and Zhu Yun are in contact with each other, then we have done a great thing. "
I asked Teacher Wan: "Didn't I just say that the Fairy House is evidence? "
Teacher Wan took a sip of herbal tea and said, "There are similar castles in many places in southern China, and the locals also say they are the remains of Zhu Yunzhi. If Xianjiawu wants to be recognized, it must provide conclusive evidence. ”
6. Treasure
The evidence that we dreamed of finding was discovered when we were fighting the “World War” with the children from the neighboring village.
They forced us into a small cave with a "submachine gun" that fired camphor tree seeds. After they left, we turned on the flashlight and discovered that there was a cave in the dark cave.
There was a piece of fish hanging upside down from the top of the cave. The head-shaped stalactites were dripping with water. Walking inside, there were many stalagmites growing on the ground in the cave, shining like white jade in the darkness.
I walked all the way. Walking inside, we walked deeper and deeper along the hole in the stone wall, which was as big as the slide path. Not only did we see a bunch of strange golden rocks, natural round stone beads, but we also saw a rusty ancient sword. And the skeleton that almost scared us out of our wits
The cousin accidentally touched the spear next to the skeleton, and the spear shaft immediately broke into several pieces and scattered on the ground. ! "Daya lowered his voice, fearing that his loud voice would shatter these fragile evidences from ancient times.
After all the trouble, we finally returned to the ground. There is no doubt that everyone was affected by their parents or... The grandparents checked repeatedly to confirm that there were no injuries and gave him a good education.
The next day, the police officers from the police station guarded the small cave; on the third day, several police officers came from all over the country. The gray-haired archaeologists, some carrying tool kits, some carrying cameras, and some carrying bright flashlights, entered the small cave fully armed.
The dusty history was buried. When it is opened, the children in the town are excitedly guarding the entrance of the cave. The mystery of the Fairy House is about to be revealed...
The secret
