Chapter 24 High Platform Stele
Chapter 24 Gaotai Stone Tablet
Bai Wuyan responded: "What you said is very possible, but there may not be any channel, maybe it is the self-circulation of the mountain spring water. The autumn is getting thicker, the sky is getting late, and the water is too cold, so we should go first
Let’s go take a look at the village opposite.”
Although Yao Jingli was a little curious and wanted to prove her conjecture, she was not very good at water, and even if her water quality was good, it would be inconvenient for a girl to get into the water. She could only count on the other two. However, the situation was not yet clear. Bai Wuyan
He didn't want to get into the water, and he couldn't continue to argue, so he had to follow him to the opposite village.
When everyone got closer, they found that there were only ruins on the peninsula. There were no villages, let alone human settlements. The thatched houses in front of them only had mud walls. They didn’t know how many years of wind and rain they had, and they were all damaged.
It has changed its shape. When I walked into a brick house, the eaves and tiles were missing and the beams were rotten. It seemed that they would collapse if there was another strong wind. The house was covered with cobwebs and thick dust accumulated. In some yards, there were simply
Broken foundations and destroyed low walls could be identified. Several people searched the entire dilapidated village, but could not find anything with writing or drawings on it. They did not know what year or month it was or who had lived there.
Here it is.
Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, a brown weasel suddenly sprang out from behind the low wall. This weasel was probably a cub, not big but very nimble. It only looked at Bai Wuyan for a moment and then ran in quickly.
After entering the woods behind the village, they disappeared from everyone's sight.
Bai Wuyan had just picked up the white jade gourd when he suddenly encountered this spiritual animal. Unexpectedly, it woke him up. He took a sip of wine and said, "I guess there won't be anything discovered here. Why don't we follow up?"
It, maybe this thing can help us lead the way."
Yao Jingli seemed to understand and echoed: "Brother Bai, do you think this weasel usually builds a nest near the tomb?"
"Yes, let's go, let's go to the forest behind the village and take a look." After saying that, Bai Wuyan put away the white jade gourd and took the lead to catch up.
Jiang Qianfeng and Yao Jingli trotted all the way, following behind Bai Wuyan. The group chased for a while, but they didn't see the shadow of the weasel, but they found a white marble altar-like high platform in front of a small mound. The high platform was very large and occupied an area
About 100 square meters, it is divided into two floors. The first floor is square, with a spherical stone pillar at the four corners and a step in the middle of every two stone pillars to get on to the stage. The first floor is square.
The second floor is built on the first floor and is circular. There is a gap in each of the four corners of the first floor, and there are steps to go up. It is impossible to verify what this high platform was used for before, but now it is above
There is only one stone tablet standing. The stone tablet is not in the middle of the high platform, but it is about as tall as a person. It has four big characters written on it: "Taogong's Tablet".
"Why is the sky round and the place is round again? Who is this Tao Gong?" Bai Wuyan thought in his heart and asked secretly. Unknowingly, he had walked to the stone tablet. There was a line of small words under the front of the stone tablet. It was already getting late at this time, so it was not very dark.
He could see it clearly. He took the torch from Jiang Qianfeng, lit it, and took a closer look at the stone tablet. The small and large characters were both from the official script of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and the words were "Seventeen people from Taoyuan Village stand respectfully."
.
Suddenly Jiang Qianfeng shouted: "Master Bai, there are many words behind this stone tablet. Come and take a look."
When Bai Wuyan heard this, he hurried over and saw that the back of the stone tablet was full of cursive scripts from the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It looked like it was supposed to be an epitaph, but it was in the first person. The general idea was that he was passing by when he returned home as a young wanderer.
On a whim, I borrowed a fisherman's fishing boat for a night trip in Poyang Lake. I lost my way on the way and was caught in a whirlpool while walking upstream. I woke up the next day and accidentally entered Taoyuan Village. No outsiders have ever entered Taoyuan Village.
However, everyone was still very enthusiastic about his chance visit. After getting to know his knowledge and personality, they taught him many tips on life and cultivation. After living here for a period of time, he returned to his hometown to continue his work.
However, during this period, he could not forget the cultivation life in Taoyuan Village in the valley, and finally came back and continued to live and practice here with everyone.
Apart from the main text, the whole inscription only has the inscription Yuan Liang, but after reading it, everyone knows who this Tao Gong is.
Bai Wuyan closed his eyes, tried to feel the energy fluctuations around him, and then said to everyone: "It's getting late today, let's continue exploring tomorrow. It's a wilderness here, so it's better to go back to the tile-roofed house in the village to rest.
.”
When Jiang Qianfeng heard that he was going back, he couldn't help but think of the grilled fish that Bai Wuyan had promised before, and quickly urged: "Master Bai, you can't default on the bill. You said you would catch a few fish and bake them for me."
.”
Yao Jingli smiled after hearing this and echoed: "Brother Bai, don't forget to bake a few strips for me too. I also want to try Brother Bai's craftsmanship."
"Okay, okay, you two are indispensable. I will show you when I get back." Bai Wuyan thought to himself that he must have done a lot of sins in his previous life, and he didn't know how much debt he owed them. Now he looks like these two brats.
In addition to the duties of the head of the household, the teacher and the bodyguard, there is also the role of a cook.
On the way back, Yao Jingli deliberately slowed down, leaned into the ear of the listless Bai Wuyan, and asked softly: "Brother Bai, did you discover something just now?"
"How do you know?" Bai Wuyan was shocked. He obviously didn't do anything, so how did she notice it?
