Guo County has never heard of a place called Qilin Pankou. Among them, there is an old man who is over fifty years old and claims that his ancestors were born in Guo County for dozens of generations. The old man in Guo County even replied firmly, not only

Xishui City, there is absolutely no place with this name in Guo County.

Li Luo was a little confused and asked Gu Lianglei beside him: "Did I think wrong from the beginning?"

Gu Liang looked at Li Luo with tears in his eyes. After making sure that Li Luo's confusion was true, he shook his head and sighed: "Since what the Ren family and his son did cannot be seen in the light, then this Qilin Handicap will probably not be seen in the light either. You

Ask ordinary people, how do they know?"

Li Luo suddenly realized, nodded, and said: "It makes sense, why didn't I think of it."

"Based on your intelligence, I thought you had already thought of it."

Li Luo touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment. If Gu Lianglei hadn't reminded him, Li Luo wouldn't have thought of it.

Feng Li muttered in a low voice: "I am just thinking about being happy and I have become stupid." After saying this, he secretly glanced at Li Luo with regret.

Li Luo coughed slightly, he was already accustomed to strange things. If he argued with Fengli, she would probably call her nonsense again.

"Find a place to settle down first, rest for a while and then make plans."

The inn couldn't be too good, as it wouldn't suit the current status of the three of them. Li Luo found an inn to stay. The inn was not big, but it was quiet, and it was also clean. Li Luo was afraid that Gu Lianglei would not get used to it, but Gu Lianglei was the first to stay.

Step into the inn.

Li Luo and Gu Liang Lei treated each other as guests, so naturally they would not do what Meng Lang did. They asked for two guest rooms, one for Li Luo and one for Gu Liang Lei and Feng Li. However, there was a look of regret on Li Luo's face, and Feng Li could see it clearly.

, there was a playful look in his eyes, Gu Liang's ears turned red with tears, he glared at Li Luo complainingly, and went into the house to settle down.

After dinner, it was still early, so the three of them walked together, walking around in this small town that has a long history and is not very eye-catching among the Dagan prefectures, to appreciate the customs and customs of different Zhuo cities.

Gu Lianglei stayed in the Hongchen Palace when he was young and never left Huawai Mountain. It was not until he broke the oath that he followed Li Luo to Zhuocheng. In fact, he rarely walked around Dagan. Looking at the scenery in front of him, even though he felt calm, he

He was also delighted and followed Li Luo quietly.

Li Luo and the other three have all changed their clothes. Their clothes are simple, not at first glance, but not downtrodden either. Li Luo's eye-catching white hair on the temples has also been dyed black, making him look like a scholar with a scent of books.

The buildings in the city are not very high. There are bamboo houses, wooden houses, and stone houses, all dependent on each other. Compared with the buildings with eaves and brackets that are often seen in Zhuocheng City, the buildings that are more than several feet high are much plainer, but they are more real, and there are not so many flashy carvings.

.

Yezhou is mountainous and watery, and it is close to the Hundred Thousand Mountains, so there are many poisonous insects and ants. Therefore, the houses in the city are often raised with stilts to prevent them from sleeping together with poisonous insects at night, which gives a unique view.

The three of them walked and walked, and Li Luo felt emotional. After all, this was the second time that he and Gu Lianglei left Qiminglou. The first time he and Gu Lianglei went to the south temple fair in Zhuocheng, but it was also in a hurry.

, and within a few days he left for the north again.

With the flow of people, aimlessly, but there are people around me, and sure enough, those loneliness and loneliness have quietly disappeared.

There is a small bridge. The water flowing slowly under the bridge is clear and the bottom is clear. There are reflections of fish, spinning around and looking curiously at the tent boats on the water.

A small bridge with flowing water, a few women washing rice and vegetables on the shore, a group of children playing in the water, shouting adults, and vendors passing through the city through the waterway. Someone was greeting people on the shore, and the tent boat came over.

, haggling, punting and leaving if they can't reach an agreement, clearing the agreed money and goods, and the restaurants and teahouses with lanterns hung up and crowded with people in front of the door. All the scenery together is like a freehand ink painting.

Gu Liang Lei held on to the bridge railing and watched the fireworks with great interest. Li Luo chuckled and said, "Speaking of this Xishui City, there is another story."

"Oh, what story?"

"The name of Xishou is taken from the allusion of Xishou Huolin. Lin refers to the ancient auspicious beast Qilin. It is said that it is the descendant of the ancestral beast Yinglong. The record cannot be verified. About a long time ago, there was a man named Xishou near Xishou City.

In the area of ​​Onezawa, the Shusun clan who was the lord of the city at that time was hunting in the west of Ohno. His son, Yaoshang Huolin, broke off his left foot, carried it home, and gave it to a learned and virtuous man named Yu Ren.

The people of Yu regarded it as Lin. The Shusun family thought it was unlucky and abandoned it outside the city. The people of Yu said that Lin was the king of the Ming Dynasty. It appeared at the wrong time and saw harm. This means that the Kirin is an auspicious beast, and it only appears because of its appearance.

The timing was wrong and he suffered a catastrophe. Back then, Yu Ren's mother prayed day and night when she was pregnant with Yu Ren. She met a unicorn and gave birth to Yu Ren. Now she saw the unicorn die. She thought it was a sign of reincarnation. Yu Ren wrote a poem for Qilin.

The elegy: When the Tang Dynasty and Yu came, the phoenixes came to visit, why did they come here at this wrong time? The lins came and the phoenixes came, and I was worried. Then I closed the pen, feeling worried about the lins, and passed away two years later. Some people in later generations wrote based on this story.

Xishengruyouli, the last poem written by Huolin, tells the story of Huolin's last work. Later, in order to commemorate Huolin in the West, people built Qilin Terrace, also known as Huolin Terrace, at the place where Qilin was buried.

The ancient tomb warns the world that there is an auspicious beast Qilin coming into the world. No one knows about it, but it is not advisable to be killed by the monster. Over time, the original name of this city became Xishou City. As for the original name, I am afraid it has changed.

No one knows anymore.”

"Well said!" As soon as Li Luo finished speaking, he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting in praise.

Li Luo and Gu Liang Lei looked back and saw a man in Confucian clothes standing on the other side of the bridge, holding several volumes of books in his arms. He had a smile on his face and a graceful demeanor that made people fall in love with him at first sight.

When the man saw Li Luo turning around, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and replied apologetically: "Xiaosheng didn't mean to eavesdrop. It's just that what brother said was wonderful. Xiaosheng couldn't help but stop and listen. Please don't be offended."

Li Luo bowed back and said to Yan: "It doesn't matter. It's just a story I heard from hearsay. It's not some anecdote. I just heard it. It's nothing important."

The man shook his head repeatedly and said seriously: "Brother is wrong, this is not a story. Xishou Huolin did happen. Although it is slightly different from what Xishou said, it is not much different. There is indeed something outside Xishou City.

An ancient Huolin tomb has been in disrepair for a long time and has been buried underground for a long time, so that future generations cannot find it."

Li Luo was slightly startled. The man was serious, his expression was a little serious, and he was speaking loudly, which was quite unquestionable. Then he nodded and responded harmoniously: "I see, I have learned a lesson."
