The Secret of Xianjiawu

After the final exam, my parents finally agreed to send me back to my hometown for the summer vacation under my repeated entreaties. Now, my cousin and my family are enjoying the cool on the lawn behind the house, and the frog is not far away. In the night, the rocky mountain near the town looks like a lion looking up at the night sky, majestic and mysterious.

"Grandma, can you tell Xiao Xuan the story of Xianjiawu?" Cousin said while rubbing grandma's back.

"Very good." Grandma smiled and shook the feather fan, which made the story look so old. "I don't know which dynasty it was, but a Taoist priest passed by and found the stone mountain on the road like a dragon ..."

"Clearly like a lion!" I didn't hold back, interjected.

My cousin smiled at me and said, "Like a dragon. You can look at it from another angle. "

Grandma went on to say, "Taoism thinks the feng shui here is particularly good." He chose an auspicious day, called the immortals to cut mountains and chisel stones, and planned to build a castle here. However, the careless Taoist forgot to tell the land father-in-law about it in advance. As a result, the castle was built to a small part, and the fairy was invited away by the land father. So until today, the castle has not been completed. There are also ruins of the castle on the big raft. "

My cousin cocked his head and asked me, "Xiao Xuan, do you want to be an explorer when you grow up?"

"Of course!" For boys, what is more exciting than exploring?

"I'll take you on an adventure tomorrow," said my cousin. "I heard that there are many secrets in the fairy house in Da Lang ..."

2. Old Castle

There is a stone step under the wall of the town, which leads to a funnel-shaped pit under the big fork. There is a stone wall at the top of the pit and a path up the mountain in the middle.

Cousin said, "Here is the Taoist temple well. Well water is very sweet. When we are full, we will go up the mountain. "

Looking down from the wellhead, the well water is crystal clear, and there is a well hole the size of a small door below, from which the well water comes out.

Like my cousin, I knelt by the well to drink water, and several bearded fish poked their heads out of the well. They are as long as fingers and their bodies are as transparent as glass. From the outside, they can see slender spines and curved bellies.

I was surprised and asked, "What kind of fish is that? The body is actually transparent! "

"This is yin river fish. This well is connected with the Milky Way. I heard that there is a cave several miles long in the middle of the Milky Way, but no one knows where the entrance to the Milky Way is. "

I looked at the bottom of the well and found it more and more mysterious.

Above the deep pit is a cliff made of granite layers, and the top of the cliff is Xianjiawu. With great efforts, we finally arrived at Xianjiawu, which is really the remains of an ancient castle.

The stone wall is like a dam, and the weeds in the cracks shake slightly with the wind. There are no imaginary palace houses behind the city wall, but scattered stones are everywhere, looming in the weeds.

I pointed to the city wall and asked my cousin, "Why did they suddenly ignore such a big project?" Grandma said it was because of the land father-in-law, but I didn't believe it. "

My cousin scratched his head and said, "Let's see if there are any inscriptions on these stones ―― we'd better find a stone tablet engraved with the dynasty."

We examined all the scattered stones carefully, but found nothing.

3. Clues

Just when I was a little depressed, my cousin suddenly said, "I heard that Daya recently found an ancient porcelain piece with patterns in Xianjiawu, which may have clues to unlock the secrets of Xianjiawu." But elegance is very precious to this porcelain. If you want to see it, we must fight him. "

"Betta?" I looked at my cousin in confusion.

My cousin took me back and explained, "Daya has a treasure chest, and all the porcelain pieces are put in it." He keeps a proud fish. If you want to see porcelain, you must first take down the fish with big teeth. "

Listening to my cousin and I describe the countless achievements of Master Tooth in fighting fish, I almost backed out: "Why is a porcelain piece so ugly?" ! "

"If Xiao Xuan wants to see porcelain, Betta can wait and see." I looked up and found that my cousin and I had reached the front of Daya's house. Daya smiled at me and said, "Xiao Xuan, long time no see!" What do you want with ancient porcelain? "

I said, "We want to find out the secret of Xianjia House." "I want to know who built the castle, when it was built and why I gave it up halfway." Cousin added.

"Well, here you are." Daya quickly opened the treasure chest and carefully took out the porcelain pieces and handed them to me. Palm-sized tiles are as white as eggshells and have a very soft luster. There is a chubby carp painted under the glaze. The color is beautiful blue, which is very interesting for children.

I quickly mobilized all the historical knowledge from my mind, but I couldn't see which dynasty this porcelain belonged to. Looking at my sad face, my cousin suggested, "Let's take the porcelain and ask Mr. Wan. He is a know-it-all Maybe he will know at a glance. "

"Now is the summer vacation. Where can I find Miss Wan? " I asked.

Tooth smile: "He lives in school. Let's go together, just as I have a homework question to ask him. "

4. Teacher Wan

Miss Wan is tall and thin, with a wide and round forehead, a flat head and gray hair. He wears black-rimmed glasses, a white shirt, blue trousers and black shoes. He has a Parker pen in his left chest pocket and an old Shanghai desk on his thin left wrist. He looks very bookish.

I took out the porcelain piece and handed it to Teacher Wan: "Teacher Wan, we want to ask which dynasty this porcelain piece belongs to?"

Daya said to Teacher Wan, "I found this in Xianjiawu. Knowing the dynasty of porcelain, you can know which dynasty Xianjiawu belongs to? "

Teacher Wan took the porcelain and observed it carefully. She rubs the edge of China from time to time. At this time, I looked curiously at Mr. Wan's study. His? There is an oversized rechargeable flashlight in front of the desk, and the lamp holder is as big as a small bowl. There are several archaeological books on the shelf next to the desk, with a thick photo album in the middle.

Is teacher Wan secretly investigating the secrets of Xianjiawu?

"Why do you want to know the dynasty of Xianjiawu?" Teacher Wan's question interrupted my guess. Cousin touched the back of his head and said, "We are just curious."

"This is the blue and white porcelain of Yuan Dynasty." Miss Wan drew a box from her desk and took out a porcelain bowl. The porcelain bowl is old-fashioned, with three fish in the mural and aquatic plants in the middle. On closer inspection, those fish are exactly the same as those on Daya porcelain. Touch the porcelain bowl, the wall thickness is the same.

"I have taken this bowl for more than ten years. I guess Xianjiawu is probably related to the Ming Dynasty emperor Zhu Yun. " Teacher Wan seems to have remembered something far away.

5. Evidence

Daya looked at Teacher Wan doubtfully and asked, "Didn't you just say that this porcelain bowl belonged to the Yuan Dynasty?"

Teacher Wan said with a smile, "The Yuan Dynasty was only a few decades old, but porcelain can be used for a long time. It is entirely possible that the porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty will remain until the early Ming Dynasty. "

"I know Zhu Yun mosquito!" I replied, "After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Zhu Jun mosquito became the emperor. His fourth uncle Judy rebelled and seized the throne. Legend has it that Zhu Yunwen shaved his head with the ministers who were willing to follow him, pretended to be monks, escaped from the palace through secret passages, and went into exile. "

My cousin asked, "Our place is full of mountains, Zhu Jun? Jealous, okay?

"In the Ming Dynasty, it was more remote and sparsely populated than it is now. Zhu Yun Mosquito wants to avoid Judy's tracker, and of course he wants to find such a place. " Teacher Wan explained.

I looked at Miss Wan and boldly speculated, "Miss Wan, have you found any evidence?"

Teacher Wan pointed to the direction of the freshman and said, "Xianjiawu is evidence. I went to the county annals, and things like repairing roads and bridges were recorded, but there was no record of such a big project as Xianjiawu. Do you find it strange? Judging from the architectural style, Xianjiawu was left in the early Ming Dynasty. Judging from the scale of the building, its owner must be very powerful. Think about it, in the early Ming Dynasty, which big man would hide in the mountains to build a castle, but he was afraid of revealing his identity? "

Cousin clenched his fist and blushed. "If the castle was really built by the emperor, then this is a place of interest!" "

Teacher Wan said: "The whereabouts of mosquitoes is an unsolved case, which has been an unsolved case for more than 600 years. What if we can prove that Xian Jiawu and Zhu Jun? Pee? This is a big event. "

I asked teacher Wan, "Didn't you just say that Xianjiawu is evidence?"

Teacher Wan took a sip of herbal tea. "There are similar castles in many places in southern China, and the locals also say that they are the remains of Zhu Jun's mosquitoes. If you want to be recognized, you must produce conclusive evidence. "

6. Wealth

The evidence we dreamed of was found when we were fighting a "world war" with the children in the neighboring village.

They forced us into a small hole with submachine guns firing camphor seeds. After they left, we turned on the flashlight and found a hole in the dark cave.

A stalactite in the shape of a fish head hangs upside down at the top of the cave, and water drops are dripping down. Walking inside, there are many stalagmites on the ground in the cave, shining like white jade in the dark.

Me? All the way in, we walked deeper and deeper along the hole as big as the slide on the stone wall. Not only did we see a bunch of sparkling strange stones and naturally generated round stone beads, but we also saw a rusty ancient combat knife and a skeleton that almost scared us out of our wits.

My cousin accidentally bumped into the spear next to the skeleton, and the spear shaft was immediately broken into several pieces and scattered on the ground. "Be careful, this is evidence and cultural relics!" Daya lowered her voice, fearing that her loud voice would break these fragile evidences from ancient times.

After many troubles, we finally returned to the ground. There is no doubt that everyone is educated after being repeatedly checked by their parents or grandparents to make sure that they are not injured.

The next day, the police uncle of the police station guarded the small cave; On the third day, several white-haired archaeologists came from all over the country. Some of them carried toolkits, some cameras, and some took flashlights and entered the cave.

The dusty history was uncovered, and the children in the whole town were excitedly guarding the hole. The mystery of Xianjiawu is about to be revealed. ...
