Chapter 249 Overnight at Xiangshan Temple (2) 3/3 Seeking the Moon

The Yang family's carriage has a different structure from other carriages. ←,

First of all, the outside of the wheels of the Yang family carriage is covered with a thick layer of leather, which can produce shock absorption while moving.

Unlike the carriages of this era, the wheels of the Yang family carriage are not directly installed on both sides of the carriage, but become individuals independently. Between the two wheels, iron rods made of cooked iron are connected together, and then several tripods are installed at the bottom of the carriage, and the wheels are placed on the tripod. In this way, the wheels will not fall off easily, and can also achieve shock absorption effects.

Di Guangyuan and Xue Chuyu were amazed and couldn't help but praise: "The wonderful ideas of Qing are indeed admirable."

Yang Shouwen heard it next to him and just smiled indifferently.

In fact, he did not know the structure of this kind of carriage very well. He just designed the shape of the carriage in later generations and transformed it into it by craftsmen. However, this modified carriage has indeed become much more comfortable.

However, his real secret was not discovered by Xue Chuyu and Di Guangyuan.

horseshoe!

The horses in the Yang family were all nailed to horseshoes, which made it safer for those horses to walk on the road.

This is also a trump card in Yang Shouwen's hand. After arriving in Luoyang, he will present the horseshoe to Wu Zetian when necessary.

The heavy rain lasted for more than half an hour and gradually became smaller.

Yang Shouwen and others embarked on the westward journey again, but the speed of the journey slowed down.

There is no way. Most of the official roads in this year are made of rammed earth, there are no asphalt roads, and there is no cement paved.

When it doesn't rain, the official road is quite flat.

However, after the rain, the road immediately became muddy, which made the difficulty of traveling suddenly increase.

It’s okay to walk, but if there are cars and horses, it will only increase the danger. This also makes the team afraid to walk too fast, so as to avoid losing their horses or overturning.

"It seems that I can't reach Luoyang before dark."

Di Guangyuan didn't expect that such a heavy rain would occur. He couldn't help but look a little impatient.

Xue Chuyu glanced at him and suddenly understood why Di Renjie left Di Guangyuan by his side, but sent Di Guangsi and Di Guangzhao to do things. Di Guangyuan couldn't hold back his anger! It was just a rain and changed the game, so he was so impatient and even more beautiful. If he went to the officialdom, he would definitely be crushed into a scum.

For officials, if you are a mountain of Tai, you will not show your colors. This is a basic requirement.

From this point of view, Di Renjie knew his son very well. Not allowing Di Guangyuan to let him go, just being a scattered official and keep him by his side. To a certain extent, Di Renjie was the greatest protection for Di Guangyuan.

"Erlang, don't worry, this kind of weather change cannot be reversed by human resources."

Xue Chuyu whispered to Di Guangyuan, "You are sent by the state elder, not only representing the court, but also representing the state elder. Your anxiety will make the men anxious. Why not calm down and think of countermeasures."

As he spoke, he glanced at Yang Shouwen.

Di Guangyuan immediately understood what Xue Chuyu meant: Don’t let Yang Qingzhi underestimate you!

Yang Shouwen looked very calm while wearing a raincoat.

He followed the carriage and walked slowly, chatting and laughing with Abusjda from time to time, or chatting with Yang through the curtains.

Not only Yang Shouwen was calm, but even Yang Moli, who was driving the car, looked very calm.

While driving the car, he took out all kinds of snacks from his skin pocket. His mouth kept squirming.

Di Guangyuan immediately showed shame and took a deep breath to calm himself down.

I have followed my father for many years, but I have never practiced the qi cultivation skills of my father, which is not as good as the top of the mountain. Just looking at Yang Shouwen's family makes him feel ashamed. A boy who is only twenty years old can have such qi cultivation skills, but he is over forty years old. But he is not as good as Yang Shouwen. How can he not feel a little ashamed?

"What Yu Langjun said is very, but I'm a little anxious."

Di Guangyuan thought for a while, then urged him to come forward and come to Yang Shouwen.

"Qingzhi, look at the weather, we are afraid that we will not be able to enter the capital of God today.

Why not do this? Let’s stay at Xiangshan Temple overnight tonight. What do you think? Tomorrow morning, we will go directly to Shendu.”

Xiangshan Temple?

Yang Shouwen thought for a while, nodded and smiled, "Di Gong doesn't need to ask for my opinion, just make the decision.

By the way, I heard that Xiangshan Temple is not too far from Longmen Grottoes, so I don’t know if there is any chance to enjoy the Longmen scenery.”

Longmen Grottoes were also a pain in Yang Shouwen's heart.

In the later years, the Longmen Grottoes were almost destroyed, leaving only one name.

Di Guangyuan smiled and said, "It's probably too late this time. At this speed, it's a good idea to arrive at Xiangshan Temple before the hour of Hai. In this kind of weather, Qingzhi may not see any scenery. Why not wait until you settle down in Luoyang and then go to Longmen to visit. At this time, it's the most beautiful scenery of Longmen."

Yang Shouwen nodded and no longer made any requests.

Yes, if you have a lot of time after you arrive in Luoyang, why bother to hurry up?

Di Guangyuan sent a cyclist to Xiangshan Temple first to prepare.

So many people arrived at Xiangshan Temple in an instant. Even if the Xiangshan Temple had been rested by Wu Zetian and expanded its scale a lot, it would be a bit troublesome. If you don’t inform the temple in advance, it would be difficult to make a house, and you won’t even prepare it properly.

After he made arrangements, he urged the carriage and horses to speed up.

However, this muddy official road is really hard to walk. Although the rain has become smaller, the drizzle is even more annoying. After not walking for too long, two more horses stepped into the mud pit and fell into a broken toe.

In desperation, Di Guangyuan ordered the cavalry to dismount and walk.

This way, it took a walk and stopped until the Yanshi territory was gone, and the situation began to improve and the road became smoother.

But looking at the time, it is almost the hour of You.

Xiangshan Temple is located in the Xi'an Xiang, 20 miles south of Luoyang City, facing the Longmen Grottoes across the river.

Xiangshan is named after the abundant production of fragrant geese, and Xiangshan Temple is a very representative landmark building on this Xiangshan...

It was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

In the third year of Chuigong, the eminent monk Dibahala of India was buried here. In order to resettle his golden body, the Buddhist temple was rebuilt.

In the first year of Tianshu, Wu Zetian became emperor in Luoyang.

King Wu Sansi of Liang requested the imperial edict to name the "Xiangshan Temple" and renovated and expanded it.

Later, Wu Zetian once visited the mountains and held a Longmen Poetry Festival in Xiangshan Temple, leaving behind a story of writing poetry and winning the brocade robe in Xiangshan, which made the Longmen Poetry Festival a grand event that could be compared with the Chang'an Qujiang Poetry Festival.

When Yang Shouwen arrived at Xiangshan Temple, it was almost time for Hai.
