"In ancient times, there were indeed three hills in Yangcheng, namely Fanshan, Yushan and Poshan. Fanshan, which existed in the Qin and Han Dynasties, was probably in the area north of the former Zhongshan Library. When the city was expanded in the Southern Han Dynasty, Fanshan was leveled. Poshan, which was preserved in the Jin Dynasty, was probably in the Tianshui Lane area, and it was also dug out in the Southern Han Dynasty, and some natural rocks still remain. Yushan, also existed in the Qin and Han Dynasties, is between Xihu Road and Yuexiu Academy Street. The named Yushan Road was flattened at the end of Tang Dynasty."
In the classroom, Niu Zewen sat on a chair casually, casually telling the history. Opposite him was a young man in his twenties with fair skin and handsome features, but he was sick and weak.
This person called himself Wu Zhe, and he was a junior of a colleague of Niu Zewen's. Knowing that he knew a lot about geography, he came here to ask some questions.
He listened to the other party's narration, and nodded again and again: "No wonder Yangcheng has been called Panyu since ancient times. It turned out to be that way... By the way, Professor Niu, I heard that there is a place called Nanyu Mountain in "Shan Hai Jing". Is it here?"
"Nanyu Mountain?"
Niu Zewen paused, and said: "The author and the date of completion of the "Shan Hai Jing" are not detailed, and after thousands of years of evolution, the hydrological mountain systems recorded in it are quite different from the modern ones. For example, there are many versions of Nanyu Mountain. .Nanyu Mountain comes from "Nanci Sanjing", which belongs to the third mountain system in the south. The head is Tianyu Mountain, and the tail is Nanyu. There are 14 mountains, passing 6,530 miles. Some say It should be viewed from north to south, but Tianyu Mountain, Praying Mountain, Danxue Mountain, Fashuang Mountain, etc. have no way to be tested. Only Jishan Mountain has some clues, which may be in Yuhuan City, Zhejiang Province. Using this as a fixed point, we will go to Nanyu Mountain, They arrived in the area of Yangcheng, but the specific location is still unknown. Some people say that Tianyu Mountain is actually in the territory of Yue State when viewed from south to north, passing through Guangxi, Guangdong, and Fujian provinces, and finally reaching Zhejiang Province. Yushan is the Tiantai Mountain in Zhejiang Province... There are so many things that have not been determined yet."
"From your point of view, where do you think Nanyu Mountain is?" Wu Zhe frowned.
"I personally think that it is still in Guangdong Province or Qiongzhou area. After all, it is clearly recorded in the book that Nanyu Mountain is adjacent to the sea." Niu Zewen said.
Although he was vague, Wu Zhe's face flashed with certainty and joy, and after chatting casually for a few more words, he got up to leave.
After he left, Niu Zewen didn't care, but the more he thought about it, the weirder he became. This person was talking inside and out, always holding on to the two place names of Yushan and Nanyushan, as if he was confirming something.
Professor Niu is older, and his memory may not be reliable, so he simply found "Shan Hai Jing", and turned to the page of "Southern Three Classics", which clearly recorded:
"Five hundred and eighty miles to the east, it is said that the mountain of Nanyu has a lot of gold and jade on it, and a lot of water below it. There are caves, where the water goes out and in, and it comes out in summer, and it is closed in winter. Zuo water comes out, and the southeast flows into the sea. , there are phoenixes, and young birds. The first of the three classics of Nanci, from the mountain of Tianyu to the mountain of Nanyu, there are 14 mountains, 6,530 miles away. The gods are all dragons with human faces. There is a white dog praying in the temple, and rice cakes are used."
Niu Zewen frowned, found another copy of "Zhuangzi", turned to "Autumn Water", and wrote:
"There is a bird in the south, its name is the chick. It is not a sycamore tree, it does not eat unless it is practiced, and it does not drink unless it is a sweet spring."
…
On the outskirts of Yangcheng, a private house.
The wind is clear and the moon is bright, the lights are shining, and the huge courtyard is full of people, noisy and noisy, and faintly centered on one person, it seems that they are celebrating his birthday.
Due to historical reasons in Guangdong Province, the folk school of law has always been prosperous. There are more than 20 schools such as Qinggang, Honglian, Huaguang, Liuren, Jinhua, and Dasheng just registered.
Each has its own characteristics, but in fact they are similar in essence. They are all martial arts of inviting gods to make talismans, dispelling evil and eliminating disasters, and casting curses and fighting secretly.
Among them, Honglian, Liuren and Huaguang are the strongest. And today is the 80th birthday of Lin Huaili, head of the Red Lotus Law.
The old man has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, he is diligent and conscientious, and finally waits for the day when he will display his strengths. Under his leadership, the Red Lotus Sect has indeed developed rapidly and has become a famous and well-known sect in Lingnan.
However, as he is getting older, he gradually has the heart to abdicate. At present, most of the affairs in the school are handled by his children and grandchildren.
The moon is in the middle of the sky, the night wind is pleasant, the outside is still noisy like a turmoil, but the living room inside is quiet and secretive. That Wu Zhe was also among them, but his real name was Lin Zhe, the eldest grandson of Lin Huaili.
"Azhe, you are too reckless this time, even if you use a pseudonym, it will inevitably leak." A middle-aged man of the uncle generation said.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, we can't hide it, so if we leak it, we will leak it. The important thing is that we have obtained first-hand information. The phoenix's lair may indeed be near Guangdong Province."
"Brother, did you really see it? Are you dazzled?" A clan brother couldn't help asking.
"Bullshit! So beautiful, such a big bird, can I see it wrong?"
Lin Zhe was proud when he mentioned this, and said: "At that time, I saw clearly that the divine bird flew over the top of the mountain like a multicolored glow. And not only me, but at least ten people on the mountain and down the mountain witnessed it with their own eyes. "
"But are you sure it's Phoenix... Ouch!"
The brother of the family continued to argue, but he got hit for a while. The uncle scolded: "A dragon is put in front of you, do you recognize it? Monkey King put you in front, do you recognize it?" Are you from the Xia Kingdom?"
This is true, some things flow in the blood. It's like eating salty tofu nao, sweet rice dumplings, and licking abalone. It's all so natural.
Of course, there were also worries. Another uncle asked: "The dragon in the East China Sea was born in a fairyland. The phoenix is as famous as the dragon. It is not bad to think about it. You are close, how did you feel at that time?"
"Indeed, it is indeed formidable..."
Thinking of the coercion that day, Lin Zhe was still in a cold sweat, and said: "But we are looking for it, not catching it, and we can't catch it at all. Whoever discovers this kind of thing first will benefit. We can't do anything about Phoenix, but the corners Maybe there are some treasures in the corner? Besides, once we find the Phoenix first, the Red Lotus Method will not only be famous in Lingnan!"
Regardless of the benefits, fame, or pure excitement, this matter cannot be refused. After a brief discussion, they decided to send people to roughly delineate a range, and first look for the divine bird.
At the same time, several people who witnessed that day also spread the news through various methods. Although it has not been exposed on the Internet platform, but in private, the news quickly spread among the sect palaces.
As a result, the Xia Kingdom's cultivation world, which had been silent for a long time, became active in an instant, just like the time when the snake transformed into a dragon many years ago. In the end, even a small number of Yaozu knew, each one was very complicated.
People are deader than humans, demons are better than demons!
In fact, it is not right to say that, monkeys are regarded as monsters, foxes are regarded as monsters, and pandas are regarded as monsters, but have you ever seen anyone who regards dragons and phoenixes as monsters
People call Xiangrui!
