Chapter 2 Tengou swallows the sun!

The Chang'an County Chronicles record: Zhongnan Mountain - stretches across the southern part of Guanzhong, starts from Qinlong in the west and ends at Lantian in the east, and is more than 800 miles apart. People in the past said that the big mountain was beyond Taihang, and the other one was like Zhongnan.

Zhongnan Mountain is not only majestic and pleasant scenery, but also a famous holy place for cultivating immortals. Many famous scholars and masters of all dynasties have retired here, such as Zhang Liang, one of the three heroes in the early Han Dynasty.

The great poet - Tao Yuanming.

The King of Medicine - Sun Simiao.

Poetry Buddha - Wang Wei.

It's endless, and it's hard to count!

In modern times, Zhongnan Mountain has become a tourist destination. Every year, a large number of tourists come to visit mountains and rivers, visit hermits, or have an exciting wild adventure.

...

A prosperous age, a hundred words of beauty are turned into a prophecy,

The colorful clothes and feathered clothes once moved to Jinghua, holding hands to express their deep love,

Yuyang drum, I hate my life before Mawei Slope,

I still remember the Chinese Valentine's Day moon...

On the northern foot of Zhongnan Mountain - in the deserted primeval forest, a tall and beautiful young man was walking leisurely, humming an ancient song - "The Beauty of the Tang Dynasty".

The man was wearing a 07-style genuine jungle camouflage uniform, with brown land war hiking boots on his feet, and carrying an extra-large hiking bag, which was filled with things: a tent, a sleeping bag, a moisture-proof mat, a kettle, a can... and weighed at least 180 kilograms.

With so many things on his back, most people probably struggled to walk, but the young man didn't care at all. He crossed mountains and rivers, walking like a flat ground. After walking for several hours, there was no trace of fatigue on his face!

Li Zhao - a native of the imperial capital, 29 years old this year, Gemini constellation, blood type A, is a college student from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the imperial capital-Wudaokou Vocational and Technical School, and is in his junior year!

It is said that people with Gemini have a double-schizarre personality, sometimes cold and sometimes hot, half of them are angels and half of them are devils. This is vividly reflected in Li Zhao.

Although this guy has beautiful eyebrows and looks harmless, he is actually very wild in his bones. He has been energetic and bold since he was a child. His biggest hobby is playing and has a wide range of interests: piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, playing, playing, playing, playing, playing, fish and insects, raising cats and training dogs... all are all good and all are good!

After growing up, Li Zhao has not only not restrained himself, but has become more and more aggressive. He actually plays very exciting extreme sports: rock climbing with bare hands, surfing in the sea, skiing in the mountains, and survival in the wild... Even the high-altitude gliding wing with a mortality rate of up to 30%, has played it many times. Fortunately, the God of Lucky is favored by him and has been safe and sound!

Someone must have asked, this guy is twenty-nine years old, why did he become a junior? Could it be that he was too playful and he was so residing in class?

This is to be stated that Li Zhao is greedy for play, but he is very smart. Otherwise, he would not be able to get into the "Wudaokou Vocational and Technical School" (another name for Tsinghua University). The reason why he has not graduated is because when he was in his sophomore year, Li Zhao responded to the country and signed up for the military by retaining his academic status.

With his excellent physical fitness, after layers of selection, he successfully entered the Southwest Military Region - a mountain combat division - reconnaissance company. He was a special fast-resistance division, a first-class ace force. He once defeated the famous "Long Live Army" in two large-scale military exercises!

After working as a mountain special forces soldier for six years, Li Zhao Guangrong retired, he returned to school to continue his studies.

It was summer vacation and he was free, so Li Zhao couldn't stay at home, so he ran to Guanzhong area for a trip. He first visited Zhaoling, Qianling, Baliu Fengxue, Xianyang Ancient Ferry... He still felt unsatisfied, so he plunged into Zhongnan Mountain to explore, looking for traces of hermits from his predecessors.

When ordinary people enter Zhongnan Mountain, more than a dozen people must form a team and bring sufficient supplies and rescue equipment to ensure safety.

Li Zhao was not the case. With his superb wild survival ability, he broke into the depths of Zhongnan Mountain by himself and a backpack, climbed dangerous peaks, explored the valley, and dived into the deep cave... After playing wildly for more than a month, he saw that the school was about to start, so he was ready to leave the mountain.

"Crazy...crazy!"

After spending most of the day, I finally walked out of the primeval forest. A large area of ​​flat ground appeared in front of me, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and faced with water. The grass and trees are lush and the scenery is beautiful. It can be called a Feng Shui treasure land!

Since I saw the flat ground, it means I was about to leave the mountain. I had been playing wildly in Zhongnan Mountain for more than a month and was about to leave now. Li Zhao was really reluctant to leave, so he decided to stay here for one night, which was a perfect end to this adventure in the deep mountains.

Since I decided to stay, I had to choose a camping site.

Li Zhao wandered around, but made an amazing discovery: among the chaotic thorns, there were many broken walls, broken bricks and tiles hidden, and a large stone tablet that had been broken into three sections, with some handwriting engraved on it. Unfortunately, the weathering was too severe and the small characters could no longer be recognized. Only three large characters could be vaguely distinguished: Qianlonggang.

It turns out that this place is called Qianlonggang. It was a long time ago. It was an ancient village with a large population. I don’t know what dynasty it was. However, looking at the characters on the stone tablet, the strokes are square and neat, and the structure is cheerful and refreshing, like regular script from the Sui and Tang dynasties!

"Haha, there are really surprises everywhere in life. Since you have arrived at the treasure land, just try your luck."

Li Zhao not only likes extreme sports, but also is interested in history. He immediately put down his mountaineering bag, took out a small engineer shovel, and quickly dug it out in the ruins, hoping to find some things of collection value to take back as souvenirs for this deep mountain adventure.

Hard work pays off. After more than an hour, I really dug something. There are five rusty copper coins, three of which are Kaiyuan Tongbao, one is Qianyuan Chongbao, and one is broken Dali Yuanbao, which is already in a bad state.

It is said that currency is the face of an era, and this is not false at all!

Let’s first talk about these three Kaiyuan Tongbao, with the star and moon mark on the back, also known as the “Moon Strip Kaiyuan”, which is a currency minted during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Li Longji. The Kaiyuan period was prosperous and the Tianbao was prosperous. The Tang Empire at that time was at its peak. The currency was finely crafted and of excellent quality. It was still well preserved after more than a thousand years!

Qianyuan Chongbao was minted during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong - Emperor Suzong of Tang - Li Heng. At that time, the country was busy quelling the Anshi Rebellion. Countless cities and countryside were destroyed by war. The people fled to death. The comprehensive national strength plummeted, and the currency also became incompetent and the silhouetted.

The Dali Yuanbao was founded during the rebellion of Emperor Suzong - Emperor Daizong of Tang Dynasty - Li Yu. In order to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, the emperor did not hesitate to drink poison to quench his thirst and used the policy of tolerating the remnants of the rebels. As a result, the separatist rule of the local vassal states, the central authority further declined, and the Tang Empire also turned into a setting sun...

The Tang Dynasty had a large number of copper coins, so the economic value was not great. In the antique market around Xi'an, a Kaiyuan Tongbao or Qianyuan Chongbao was only a dozen yuan.

Having said that, after all, it was something I dug out by myself. Although the economic value is not great, it is still very valuable for collection and commemorative!

After walking for most of the day, I dug up the land for more than an hour. Even though Li Zhao was extremely physically strong, he felt a little tired. He immediately put away a few copper coins and sat under a big cypress tree to rest...

This is a rare dragon-scale cypress tree, more than 20 meters tall, six or seven people hugged each other, and the reddish-brown bark is bumpy, just like the scales on a dragon's body. It seems that the tree is at least two thousand years old, but it is still lush and lush!

There is an ancient well under the tree, which is in the shape of a hexagonal edge, and is so damaged that it is almost flush with the ground, and it is dark inside and cannot be seen bottom.

After sitting down, Li Zhao drank a bottle of mountain spring water, ate two cans of canned beef, and then took out an old book of "Old Book of Tang" from his backpack, and read happily: "Wu King Ke, the third son of Emperor Taizong, was named King of Shu in the third year of Wude, and was appointed as the governor of Yizhou. He was young and not appointed as the governor of Wu in ten years. In the twelve years, he was appointed as the governor of Anzhou.

Ke's mother was the daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui. Ke was also civil and military talents, and Emperor Taizong often called him similar to himself.

Changsun Wuji assisted Emperor Gaozong, and was deeply jealous. In Yonghui, Huifang Yiai begs to rebel, so he punished Ke for the sake of the matter, and eliminated the public's expectations. He was wronged in the country. Four sons: Ren, Wei, Kun, and Yan, and were all in the mountains...'

Among all the dynasties in China, Li Zhao liked the Tang Empire the most. His military, politics, economy, and culture... were all the best. His national strength was extremely strong, and he stood proudly in the East. All countries came to worship!

Among the twenty-one emperors of the Tang Dynasty (including the Queen Zetian), Li Zhao admired the most was Emperor Taizong - Li Shimin. Among the fourteen sons of Taizong, Li Zhao liked King Wu Li Ke the most.

"Emperor Taizong's heroic life, his civil and military achievements can be regarded as unprecedented. He made a big mistake in choosing an heir. He gave up the heroic Li Ke and chose the weak Li Zhi. If Li Ke had become the emperor, there would never be the later Wu clan stealing the country, and decades of political turmoil. The history of the Tang Empire and even the entire world history would have to be rewritten, and the writing was even more brilliant... It's a pity, it's a pity!"

Li Zhao is from the imperial capital, but according to the genealogy, his ancestors moved from Guanzhong more than a thousand years ago and first moved to Hongdong County, Shanxi. In order to avoid the war, they moved to the imperial capital!

The genealogy also clearly records that the ancestor of the Li family lineage was the fourth son of King Li Ke of Wu. In other words, Li Ke was Li Zhao's grandfather!

Unfortunately, this Taizu Grandpa failed to take up the throne, and the arrogant Tang Empire could not continue to this day. Otherwise, he would have benefited from it, and he might be able to become a Duke of the State or a Duke of the County!

Let’s take a step back, even if you are the youngest founding county man, you can do it. You have a salary, a house, a privilege, and a small fiefdom. If you have nothing to do, take a few dogs, collect rent, drink some wine, and tease the village flowers. It’s so beautiful that you think about it!

"Um?"

Just as he was excited to watch, the surroundings suddenly became dim. Li Zhao quickly looked up and saw the bright sun disappearing rapidly, blocking it by a circular black shadow... It was a solar eclipse, which is a difficult astronomical phenomenon!

In Chinese mythology, solar eclipse, also known as "Tiangou Swallows the Sun", is said that during that short period of time, the universe was upside down and the yin and yang were in chaos, and many unintentional things would happen!

"Crack!Crack!-Plop!"

The opportunity is rare and should not be missed. Li Zhao quickly took out his cell phone, pointed it at the sky for more than a dozen times, took pictures of the difficult scene, adjusted his position, and prepared to take a few selfies and show off to his classmates.

The man who was so busy looking up at the sky, but forgot to fall under his feet. He stepped on the ancient well and fell down instantly...'Puu!'
