Chapter 286
The Wei Empire of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ganlu City, Nanjingluofu
After wandering leisurely on the road for more than ten days, Wang Dafu and his group had arrived at Ganlu City. In fact, from Wang Dafu's original intention, he did not want to delay so long on the road. After all, the time of this trip to visit the wise is limited, so he could not leave Green Willow City without restrictions. However, the scenery along the way was very charming, and there were several scenic spots and historical sites along the way. Zhen Damei, Tianyi and others all traveled happily, so Wang Dafu naturally had to obey the majority!
——After all, "Ten birds are worse than one bird in the hands of the forest." Instead of rushing to visit those special talents who have never met before and whether they can successfully recruit special talents, it is better to seize the opportunity to have a good relationship with these giants around them. As long as one of the three fierce men, Tianyi, Yue Fei, and Han Fei, is willing to officially become an official in Green Willow City, Wang Dafu's journey to visit the wise will not be in vain!
Just as mentioned earlier, Ganlu City is just an ordinary system city on the border of the Han and Jin Dynasties. There are not many famous places and historical sites worth visiting, and there are no well-known figures already known. For those who are purely visiting, this place is really a barren existence and does not have any value for travel. As for Wang Dafu who wants to meet those "strange people"... it seems that it is not the business of Tianyi and the others.
However, since they have come, Zhen Damei and the others do not intend to waste their time in vain. Although there are no particularly famous places and historical sites in Ganlu City, their "Three-eyed Strange Well and Yi Qi Temple" is also well-known in the local area.
———————————————————
The so-called "Three-eyed Strange Well" refers to the three-eyed water well located in the east, west and south of Ganlu City, which is the Kushui Well in the east, the Sour Water Well in the west, and the sweet water well in the south of the Chengnan that Wang Dafu is going to. These three water wells are divided into three parts of Ganlu City. If you look in mid-air, you will find that they just form an equilateral triangle, and wrapped in the middle by this equilateral triangle is Ganlu Temple "Yiqi Temple" in Ganlu City.
The reason why the Three-eyed Well is called the "Three Strange Well" is that the water produced from these Three-eyed Wells has different tastes. The water in the sweet water well tastes slightly sweet, like adding sucrose; the water in the bitter water well tastes bitter and astringent, and it is difficult to swallow; as for the sour water well, it does not mean that the well water tastes sour, but that it makes people feel sour water in their stomach after drinking it.
The straight-line distance between these three wells is only less than five kilometers. No one can tell why the well water has such a big difference, because this situation has not been discovered in the well water elsewhere in Ganlu City, which is why the Sanjing is named.
As for why Ganlu Temple is called "Yiqi Temple", even the local residents of Ganlu City cannot explain clearly. This temple is said to have been built very early, and may even be built with Ganlu City. Local residents have heard this statement from their ancestors. Time passes like water. The origin of this nickname is now diverse, but the real answer has long been obliterated in the past years.
———————————————————
——Although this Ganlu City is not big, it depends on what place it is compared to. Compared with a system-based city like Chang'an and Luoyang, it is indeed just a small land. However, after all, this is one of the main cities of the system, and at least a second-level city. Compared with Green Willow City, it is a huge monster! If the city is big, it will inevitably have a larger population, and if the population is too much, it will inevitably be lively. The temple fair in Ganlu City is much more lively than that in Green Willow City.
When it comes to traveling, the two little guys Xiao Mo Xiaoguai were the two little guys. Although Xu Tianyi, Wang Xiaoshi and Xiaosheng (the four famous guards Wuqing, Wuqing's full name Sheng Yuya) who came with Tianyi, were not very old, but they were much bigger than Xiao Mo Xiaoguai after all, especially Xu Tianyi and Wang Xiaoshi had to take care of Xiaosheng who was inconvenient to move, so it was naturally impossible for them to play unscrupulously like the two of them.
However, when we arrived near Ganlu Temple today, the two little guys who usually ran the most changed their temperament. While holding the hand of the beautiful lady Zhen, he looked at Ganlu Temple without any intention of running around. Instead, the third little girl from the free door, especially Xiao Sheng, who was unable to move since childhood, had his first time seeing such a lively temple fair. He naturally had a relish and enjoyed the sights. His little head turned like a rattle, and he felt dizzy and dazzled.
Look no further, let the vendors rush to sell, but these people have no intention of shopping. Speaking of which, the people here have seen roles in big markets in big places. How can the things sold at street stalls in temple fairs be the eyes of them? If it weren't for the little guys to see the world, they might have turned around and left long ago.
After walking a while, I finally arrived at the main entrance of Ganlu Temple. I saw that the ancient temple was filled with red walls and ink tiles. Although it was in the downtown area, it gave people a deep and pure feeling, which was amazing.
Seeing this situation, Mr. Tianyi and others looked at each other and nodded secretly, and said in their hearts: "It seems that there is nothing wrong this time. Just looking at this elegant and quiet environment, you will know that this Ganlu Temple is indeed a bit famous."
When they walked into the gate, they were strangely not seeing any monks coming to greet them. The few of them were puzzled, but they didn't stop for a long time, so they walked forward. After passing a small front yard, they came to the Main Hall.
When I looked up, I saw that the couplet ended with extraordinary significance.
——If I have a spirit, I will not pile up everywhere, and my muscles and bones will fall.
——Don’t think about it, you must know that diligence and thrift are everywhere, and laziness is not.
Looking at the couplet, the beauty Zhen couldn't help but laugh: "It's really amazing to have such a powerful force. No wonder this temple is in a downtown city but is intoxicating. Haha, the place where pilgrims donate money to make a living is hard and cold water. No one comes to worship. It's just asking for oneself. Who is asking for gods and Buddhas is not for fame or profit? Gods and believers have long become a relationship of interests. When writing such a couplet to attract people to curse, this temple can also be called "strange" by this point~~"
The beauty Zhen said it directly, and everyone around him nodded, but when they entered the Main Hall, another couplet made everyone even more amazing!
——You seek fame and fortune, and he will tell you good or bad luck. I have no heart to do anything, how can I come up with any idea?
——The hall is covered with smoke and clouds, and the hall is filled with bells and tripods. It is a joke that people offer this mud and wood, and how much energy they have spent.
After reading it, the lay Buddhist Tianyi smiled indifferently and said, "It's fine if the one in front is not the case. Now, this one is for those who are interested in drawing lots to ask for good or bad luck. I'm afraid that I will lose my appetite and leave, and even the offerings will not be left with a little bit, let alone the money for indulgence and oil... Haha. It's really worth admiring that this place has such a character, but... I'm afraid there will be a risk of starvation to death~~"
The words caused a chuckle again, and the group was even more interested. They wanted to meet the character of such a personality, but they didn't realize that at this moment, the two little guys Xiaomo and Xiaoguai looked even more strange...
