Chapter 208 "About Me Buying Tickets to Visit My Own Graveyard" (6.8K)

Among the various hills in the urban area and suburbs of ZJ.

The meaning of the name of Wuzhou Mountain, which is located in the southwest of the suburb, can be said to be the most controversial.

Wuzhou Mountain is also called Wuzhou Mountain in the local county annals, so many people think that its name comes from some ancient poems.

Some people say that its name comes from Zeng Bu's poem "From Chongqiu in the northwest of Haimen, the five states can be seen at the top".

Others say it comes from the records in "Anthology":

'The land of Kyushu, Song won the fifth. The people of the five states look forward to the luck of the emperor. '.

There are even rumors that Wuzhou Mountain is a new dragon vein that appeared in Zhenjiang after Qin Shihuang dug up Jingyan Mountain. The winner can own half of the world, so it is called Wuzhou.

There are many similar rumors, and it is hard to tell whether they are true or false.

The only thing that is certain at the moment is.

Wuzhou Mountain was named after the Kaibao period of the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, 968-975 AD.

The five peaks of Wuzhou Mountain are somewhat similar to human palms, the middle peak is the highest, and the two ends are lower.

The mountain is steep towards the north and gentler towards the south.

However, even the highest middle peak is only 306 meters above sea level, which is far below the scale of a "famous mountain".

Therefore, its name has not been heard, and it is relatively famous only in the Zhenjiang area.

But as the saying goes.

Small but complete.

Just such an ordinary mountain with a height of more than 300 meters, there are also Old Man Peak, Swan Cave, Muqidun, Xixi, Zhuoxi Spring, Xiting Spring, Lupao Spring, Qianchijing Riguan, Woyun Er Pavilion and many other scenic spots, plus two temples, Xianci Temple and Yinsheng Temple.

This moment.

On a trail in the mountains.

There are two young people, one in front of the other, walking up the stone steps step by step.

The two were Xu Yun and Lao Su.

"Actually, the name Wuzhou Mountain doesn't have such a grand origin."

After walking for a while.

Old Su wiped the sweat from his forehead, pointed to the branch of Jiuqu River in Zhenjiang, which was faintly visible not far away, and said:

"During the Song Dynasty, Zhenjiang was the starting point of the South Canal and the hub of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and it belonged to the main route of water transportation."

"When I was a river patrol officer of the South Canal, I once overlooked the port from the top of this mountain, and saw five huge boats lined up in the river."

"Later, I heard that the mountain had no name, so the old man casually said, 'Why don't we just call it Wuzhou Mountain', and Wang Wenyue, the county magistrate at that time, recorded it in the county annals."

"Later, the Jin people cut off our country, the mountains and rivers sank, and the Zhenjiang county annals in the Song Dynasty were also missing."

"Thus, the descendants passed on and passed on Wuzhou Mountain as Wuzhou Mountain, and added various brain supplements, which is quite interesting."

Xu Yun at the side handed him a bottle of mineral water, leaned on a rock, and said with a smile:

"This is the power of brain supplements. Add some brain supplements to the process of eating melons. In the end, even you yourself don't know where things will go."

"For example, when I was writing a novel, I don't know when I got the nickname Fishing Girl. In the end, even the editor thought I was a girl."

"The most outrageous thing was on March 8th Women's Day, he asked me if I wanted to be interviewed on behalf of the female author."

Old Su: "."

Then the two of them rested for a while, and then continued to climb up.

As the only two temples in Wuzhou Mountain, Xianci Temple and Yinsheng Temple have a long history of inheritance.

Among them, Xianci Temple was built in the Five Dynasties period and was rebuilt four times during this period.

Chen Sheng, the prime minister during the Xining period, was buried here.

The age of Yinsheng Temple is earlier.

It was built at the beginning of the sixth year of Tang Dazhong and has been rebuilt three times.

The most famous people buried around are

Su Song.

"According to the original historical trajectory, you should return to Jingkou, which is now Zhenjiang, one month after the day I appeared."

Outside Yinsheng Temple, Xu Yun was holding a mobile phone, and was telling Old Su about his death:

"Then on June 18 of the following year, you died of illness in Runzhou, and the descendants of the Su family buried you in Wuzhou Mountain."

"In the seventh volume of the "Jiading Zhi" later, "The Temple of Su Song, Duke of the State of Wei, the old Prime Minister, is in the Yinsheng Baoqin Temple."

"Hey, there are quite a few people who have paid homage to you in history, Song Ciwen Tianxiang. Good guy, Zhu Yuanzhang even offered incense to you back then."

"Zhu Yuanzhang?"

Old Su was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked:

"Is that the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the one with the same face as my donkey?"

".That's right."

"It's a bit of a coincidence"

Old Su nodded thoughtfully, and then said to Xu Yun:

"Xiao Xu, where exactly is my grave?"

Xu Yun glanced at the screen of the phone, checked the direction again, pointed to the northeast direction and said:

"It should be there."

The excavation of Su Song's tomb can be traced back to 2007, and the real progress occurred in 2018.

At that time, the cultural relics department of the ZJ Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio and Television led the archaeological exploration of the North Fu area of ​​Shandong, Wuzhou, and finally discovered a cemetery of 2,000 square meters.

At that time, many ceramic relics and building components were unearthed in the cemetery, with a total of thirty or forty pieces.

The types of utensils include bowls, pots, etc., and the age is not later than the Southern Song Dynasty.

Archeology unearthed two architectural components.

One of them is the remnant of an owl's tail made of muddy gray pottery, and the other is a tile with animal face pattern, which has typical characteristics of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The Department of Cultural Relics later conducted many detailed surveys, and finally held the "Briefing on the Archaeological Exploration of Large Song Dynasty Tomb Sites in North Fu, Shandong, Wuzhou" on April 15, 2019, and confirmed that the owner of the tomb was Lao Su.

Early 2021.

The state approved the "Archaeological Excavation Certificate" Kaozhizi (2021) No. (007), and agreed to conduct formal archaeological excavations on this tomb site.

At the same time, a Su Song figure hall was built around the tombstone of Su Song near Yinsheng Temple.

well known.

Zhenjiang is a city rich in tourism resources.

There are two 5A-level scenic spots in the city and seven 4A-level scenic spots. The number of tourists has remained at a high level for a long time.

Therefore, when Xu Yun and the others arrived here, not only did they see some scattered tourists, but a modern building suddenly appeared in front of them.

"What did you say?"

Xu Yun looked at the ticket booth in front of him, with question marks on his forehead:

"Do I still have to buy a ticket to visit Su Song Temple?"

The conductor was a chubby little girl, and she said in a polite but emotionless voice:

"Yes, there are many cultural relics unearthed in the Song Dynasty in the Su Song Temple. Behind it is a tea garden, Zhuoxi Spring, Xiting Spring and Lupao Spring. It is a combined scenic spot."

"This is the request of the Bureau of Culture, Radio and Tourism and the Bureau of Tourism. After all, it can be regarded as a cultural protection unit. This is the case in most places across the country."

Xu Yun quietly glanced at Lao Su, and inexplicably had a sense of the sight of a certain last emperor visiting the Forbidden City in his mind.

Then he took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code:

"Okay, how much?"

"Children under one pan and seniors over 70 years old are free of charge, and over one pan is ten yuan, and exactly one pan counts as a full ticket."

Xu Yun paid 20 neatly, took the ticket stub from the conductor, and took Lao Su into the scenic spot.

Behind the ticket counter is a quiet wooden plank road. The winter sun is very comfortable and warm on the face.

The two walked straight for more than fifty meters, and a brand new building appeared in front of them.

The building covers an area of ​​about three or four hundred square meters, with a bronze statue standing at the front.

The building has only one gate, and the words 'Su Song's Tomb' are impressively written at the entrance.

Xu Yun led Lao Su to the bronze statue.

He first glanced at the bronze statue, then at Old Su.

Xu Yun: "."

how to say.

It seems that Liang Chaowei has been made into Yang Di's appearance.

Then Old Su glanced at his 'portrait', suddenly thought of something, and walked to the bronze statue:

"Xiao Xu, take a group photo for the two of us, and remember to include the words Su Song Temple in the back."

Xu Yun continued:

"."

After taking pictures.

The two walked into Su Song Temple.

The interior of Su Song Temple is a bit retro, mainly in dark tones. Once you enter the house, you will feel a heavy sense of time.

Among them, some introductions and portraits of Lao Su are engraved on the walls of the temple, and there is also a small TV broadcasting Lao Su's life.

For example, the year of birth and death, life achievements, historical evaluation and so on.

Below the walls are display cases containing objects that have not been transferred to the museum.

Lao Su and Xu Yun paced from the left side, looking at the relics dug out of Lao Su's grave:

"This should be the tea set in the front hall. You see, this hydrangea pattern is specially used to receive guests."

"Tsk tsk, have you seen the lower part of this lamp holder? In the entire Su Mansion, only Yuan Nian uses this lamp holder, because his index finger is missing a piece on the battlefield and he can't hold things steadily, so I asked Someone gave him a special lamp."

"This is."

Xu Yun also walked, listened, and watched with great interest. These objects that had been dusty for nearly a thousand years did not feel strange to him.

For example, a bamboo basket he saw.

It was the special tableware for the "green" servant of the Su Mansion, and it was used for Xu Yun's first breakfast in the Su Mansion.

It has not been decayed for more than 900 years, and it is not known whether the internal environment of the tombstone is special, or some means were imposed on it before it was buried.

Another example is the stone mill he saw, which was also an item in Lao Su's residence.

Of course.

Xu Yun is not very familiar with this thing, but Brother Lv is familiar with it.

And while they were visiting.

A couple of young lovers also walked nearby, exuding a sticky sour smell of love.

I saw the woman leaning on the man's arm, walking around and saying:

"A Yuan, you said this introduction is true or false, is this person named Su Song really so powerful?"

The man is a gentle boy wearing glasses. After thinking for a few seconds, he said:

"These are all achievements recorded in history, shouldn't they be true?"

The woman asked again:

"Then why haven't I heard of this person's name in textbooks?"

"this"

The man opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain, but finally gave up:

"I don't know. There must be a reason. By the way, what do you want to eat tonight?"

"Tonight? How about stinky mandarin fish, stinky tofu, stinky amaranth stems, and another bowl of snail noodles?"

"Okay, I'll eat you after I finish eating"

Not long after the couple left.

Xu Yun and Lao Su also completed a circle.

Old Su adjusted his breathing, pointed to the door, and said to Xu Yun:

"Let's go and see my grave."

Xu Yun nodded.

Take Lao Su and leave Su Song Temple.

Friends who have been to Wuzhou Mountain should know it.

The tomb that Lao Su mentioned was actually a cemetery similar to a tomb.

After all, the real tomb has not been fully opened yet, and Lao Su's coffin has not yet been unearthed.

The tombstone of this Clothes Tomb was built by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty after the death of Lao Su. Later, the Bureau of Culture, Radio and Television took advantage of the opportunity to build an empty tomb behind the tombstone for some descendants of Lao Su to visit and worship.

The pattern of the entire tomb is somewhat similar to Yue Fei's tomb in West Lake:

The tomb is located on a platform about 30 meters above the ground as a whole, and there are several small steps on the platform.

The height of the tombstone is about 1.5 meters, behind it is a grave bag with a diameter of about 2 meters, and some trees are planted around it.

There are some incense altars in front of the tombstone, which seem to be specially used for tourists or descendants to offer incense.

When I came to my grave, I looked at the names of the descendants on the tombstone.

A hint of emotion gradually appeared in Lao Su's eyes.

After gradually adapting to the environment, he actually asked Xu Yun to check the information of his descendants.

I don't know if it's lucky or not.

Among the six sons under his knees.

Xiaosu No. 1 and No. 2 passed away before the Jingkang Incident broke out due to their old age.

At the age of 78 and 74, both died.

The remaining Xiaosu No. 4 was scrapped early due to CPU overload, and died in a brothel at the age of 47.

Other than that.

Lao Su's other three sons and descendants all survived to the Southern Song Dynasty and reproduced many clansmen.

Lao Su's bloodline has been passed down to the present, and there are branches in Zhenjiang, Tong'an and even southern Sichuan.

be honest.

This is already considered a good ending, it can be called the branches and leaves scattered.

after awhile.

Old Su stretched out his hand to touch the tombstone, slid across the rough lines between his fingers, and suddenly asked:

"Xiao Xu, do you know what the old man was thinking the night you appeared?"

Xu Yun simply shook his head:

"have no idea."

Old Su turned around and glanced at him, a flash of memory flashed in his eyes, and said:

"At that time, the old man was thinking, I don't have much time left, I'm afraid I won't live for a few years, and I don't know how the world will judge me after thousands of years?"

"Originally, the old man thought that even if I would not be compared with Zhang Heng and Gongshu Ban in the history books, at least I would have the reputation of Li Daoyuan, right?"

After speaking, he sighed and looked towards the way he came from.

His eyes seemed to want to penetrate through many obstacles, and locked on to the figure of the dog-boy couple:

"As a result, after thousands of years, very few people know about the old man, and some even doubt the authenticity of what the old man did."

Xu Yun opened his mouth when he heard the words, wanting to say something.

But Lao Su waved his hand one step ahead of him, and interrupted:

"There is no need to say anything like 'only those who really know understand how great you are'. This is a deformed theory, just for comfort."

"Although the appearance and bearing of the man and woman just now are not very good, the material of the clothing is also considered fine, and there is no sign of fatigue on their bodies. Most of them are lovers with a decent family background."

"What they can represent is the mainstream thinking of ordinary people—who is Su Song?"

After finishing speaking, Old Su suddenly turned around and looked at Xu Yun seriously:

"But fortunately, the old man has lived another life now, and everything will be different."

"This represents another possibility, a possibility that the old man can prove for himself."

"Xiao Xu, the old man once thanked you once, but it was for me, the Great Song Dynasty."

"Now I still want to thank you, but this thank you is for myself."

"Thank you for saving this old man from staring silently at the ground in the dark coffin like that dead bone in the ground, listening to the doubts of future generations but unable to explain."

Then he paused, changed the topic, and said:

"The old man knows that worshiping is no longer popular in this era, and your character will definitely not accept it."

"However, today I heard on the Internet that there is a song "Listen to Me Thank You", which seems to be very popular, so..."

"Stop stop!"

Before Lao Su finished speaking.

Xu Yun grabbed him abruptly, the cold sweat running down his face:

"If you don't want me to burrow into the ground right away, then don't. If you really want to help, you should study as soon as possible and try to join my team as soon as possible. This is more useful than thanking you."

"You don't know how magical this song is, readers can really call me a fisherman after singing it"

that's all.

Xu Yun persuaded Lao Su for a few minutes before dispelling Lao Su's thoughts.

And while the two were talking.

Not far behind them, seven or eight middle-aged people suddenly appeared.

These people are male and female, and they look a little dusty.

Waiting for people to get close.

A fat man in the lead took the initiative to step forward, smiled and asked Xu Yun and the two:

"Two little brothers, may I ask, are you here to play or worship?"

Xu Yun glanced at the other people who were taking things out, did not reply to his words, but asked:

"What's the matter, what's the matter?"

Seeing that the fat man took out a business card from his body, handed it to Xu Yun, and explained:

"That's how it is. We are the Su Clan Group in Zhenjiang, and I am Su Hua, the chairman of the board."

"Isn't today December 10th, it happens to be the birthday of our ancestor Su Song."

"The main place for our clan to worship ancestors is in Tong'an, Fujian Province, but Zhenjiang is the cemetery of Suzu after all, so we organized some representatives to come and worship."

"If the two little brothers are tourists, please understand and move to another place first."

"If you are a relative of the Su clan from other places, then you can also come to worship Suzu together. After all, everyone is of the same clan."

Only then did Xu Yun nodded in understanding.

Then he glanced at Old Su, and was about to speak and leave.

But old Su took out his ID card from his pocket first, and handed it to Su Hua:

"I am also a descendant of the Su family who came to worship the ancestors. This is my ID card."

Su Hua took his ID card and looked at it for a few times, then raised his brows:

"Good guy, your name is Su Song too?"

In fact, in clan management.

Unless it is a descendant who has been separated from the house, when naming a child, the tribe generally does not use the same name as the ancestor.

But nowadays, with the popularization of various modern concepts, clan customs are gradually becoming partial, and many people don't even know the names and taboos of their ancestors.

Therefore, when choosing a name, it is often the case that it has the same name as the ancestor.

For example, Xu Yun, the ancestor of the Xu family, was called Xu Hui, a common name with no special characteristics.

As a result, during a certain ancestor worship in the early years, Xu Yun met three clan members named Xu Hui at the grand ceremony.

So after the initial surprise.

Su Hua quickly accepted the identity of old Su.

After all, the Su family in Tong'an has only one main branch, Su Song, and the blood is very "pure".

In addition, the other party appeared in front of Lao Su's grave at this point in time, so the identity of the Su clan is obviously not a problem.

that's all.

half an hour later.

Looking at the old Su who was burning paper with Su Hua in front of his own grave with relish, Xu Yun couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

This style of painting is too outrageous.
