Three hundred and seventieth eight chapters beat the grass to startle the snake (three)
This is a medium-sized pleasure boat that is two stories high and can accommodate dozens of people.
When Yang Shouwen and others arrived at the shore of Taihu Lake, the pleasure boat was already quietly moored on the shore. The group boarded the pleasure boat. With Di Guangyuan's order, the boatman held the pole and the pleasure boat slowly drove away from the shore and headed towards the lake.
The light rain for several days has not dispelled the heat of the late summer.
However, standing on the boat and walking in the lake, the wind blowing on the oncoming face was a bit cool and made people feel very comfortable.
Di Guangyuan accompanied Gao Jian and Zhou Lizhen at the bow of the boat, pointing out the scenery along the way, and laughing heartily from time to time.
Pei Guangting and Yang Shouwen were at the stern of the boat, and they didn't say much, just stood there quietly, immersed in the scenery of the lake and mountains.
"Shengshi."
"Um?"
Pei Guangting suddenly spoke. He seemed a little hesitant. After pausing for a long time, he continued: "We should work together this time with the order to go south. But now, everyone seems to have their own thoughts, which makes me a little worried."
Yang Shouwen was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at Pei Guangting in surprise.
"What do you say about Liancheng?"
"Look, once Sanlang goes to Wuxian, there will be no news.
Although Gao Sheren and Zhou Sizhi seem to be very harmonious, they are actually guarding against each other. Now you are even more out of the matter and don’t care about treasure hunting at all... How can you accomplish the will of the saint if you continue like this?"
Mingxiu has long said that most of their group of people have their own purposes.
When Yang Shouwen heard Pei Guangting say this, he couldn't help but laugh, "What should I do if I say, what Liancheng said?"
"You seem to be careless, but I know. You are delicate and Jizhu is in control. Since that's the case, why not explain it to you? Maybe there are some misunderstandings between you and you, but in the current situation, please give up your prejudices and work with you to find the treasure as soon as possible. We can also return to God as soon as possible, right?"
Pei Guangting's voice was not loud, but his attitude seemed extremely sincere in his words.
Yang Shouwen looked at him and whispered after a while: "Is this what Gao Sheren meant?"
Pei Guangting hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Yang Shouwen couldn't help laughing.
I guess Gao Jian was also a little anxious. He had been in Changzhou for a week, but he had no results, so Pei Guangting was asked to pass the message.
To be honest, Yang Shouwen has no malicious intentions towards Gao Jian.
But from the beginning, everyone's position was different, and they were always guarding against each other in secret.
Gao Jian is a princess Taiping and a clerk from the East Palace. His identity is very strange; and what about Yang Shouwen? To put it bluntly, he should be on Wu Zetian's side. After all, with his father's relationship, he is not easy to get rid of his identity as the "martial party". Everyone has different positions and it is normal for them to be prepared for each other. Now, Gao Jian has no clue and wants me to cooperate with you. But what kind of help can you give me? Yang Shouwen is very upset.
He did not take Pei Guangting's words, but stood at the stern with his hands behind his back.
Seeing that Yang Shouwen didn't speak, Pei Guangting sneered and closed his mouth...
The pleasure boat was driving off the shore for an hour. Gao Jian and Zhou Lizhen might have felt tired, so they returned to the pleasure boat.
Yang Shouwen came from the stern to the bow of the boat, sat on the deck on the ground, leaned on the side of the boat, and enjoyed the scenery in front of him.
At this time, a boatman came over and whispered: "Young Master, Baoshan is ahead."
Yang Shouwen was originally lazy and stood up immediately after hearing the boatman's words, and looked forward.
An island in the middle of the lake appeared in front of him.
It is an island with a circumference of about ten miles, with an oval shape. Most of the island is occupied by mountains, which is the "baoshan" among the local population.
It is said that Baoshan Island is named after this island Zhongshan.
The mountains are undulating and lush.
There is a fishing village at the foot of the mountain, but at this time, the fishermen in the village should have fished off the island, so they look very deserted.
It is vaguely visible that there is a tower on the top of the mountain, which should be the Spirit Pagoda.
"Round the island and don't get too close."
"yes."
The pleasure boat was found by Di Guangyuan, so the boatman was naturally all of Di Guangyuan's people.
About a few dozen meters away from the island, the pleasure boat no longer approaches the island, but surrounds the island.
At this time, Di Guangyuan walked out of the pleasure boat.
He stood beside Yang Shouwen and whispered: "Lingbao Temple is halfway up the mountain, and almost half of Baoshan Island is an industry under the name of Lingbao Temple. There are about 300 fishing villages on the island, mainly relying on fishing and hunting in the lake to make a living."
It can be seen that Di Guangyuan had some understanding of Baoshan Island.
Yang Shouwen nodded, and after the pleasure boat circled around the island, he signaled to leave Baoshan Island.
He turned his head and looked at Gao Jian and Zhou Lizhen in the pleasure boat, and lowered his voice: "This island is well-connected. I just observed it. There are at least six or seven places on the island where you can board the boat. This is just a rough observation. There are probably some hidden hiding places that we have not discovered. If we act, it will be very troublesome."
"oh?"
Di Guangyuan was stunned for a moment and said softly: "What's the trouble? We just need to climb Baoshan and rush directly into Lingbao Temple."
"I looked at it and found that the only one who could land in the fishing village was able to do so.
However, since those fishermen rely on Lingbao Temple to make a living, how can they not inform them? As long as we land from the front, Lingbao Temple can get the news. By then, Shenhui will definitely hide or escape from the island.
If we mobilize our troops to surround the mountains, we are afraid that the soldiers and horses will not enter the lake yet, then the divine wisdom will be heard and escaped."
As he said that, Yang Shouwen pointed at Baoshan, "There are many escape routes on this Baoshan. If you want to completely block it, you can't do anything to work without a thousand or two horses. But you also know that if you mobilize so many soldiers, how can you not alarm the snake?"
Di Guangyuan frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
What Yang Shouwen said makes sense. Such a big mountain, then Shenhui is really hidden in the mountain. I am afraid it is not easy to find.
There is too much manpower required to be used. It is so much that Di Guangyuan must report it to Cui Xuanwei.
In short, no matter which means you use, Shenhui will get news and may escape in advance.
Don't underestimate this monk. There must be a group of people behind him, a group of people with great energy. Even if you know where he is hiding now, no matter whether it is Yang Shouwen or Di Guangyuan, you dare not act rashly...
No one can guarantee that once Shenhui escapes this time, can she find it again?
Thinking of this, Di Guangyuan couldn't help but look at Yang Shouwen.
Yang Shouwen held the boat's side with his hands, looking at the Baoshan Mountain that was getting farther and farther away, as if he was thinking about something.
"Qingzhi, do you have an idea?"
Yang Shouwen wanted to answer, but suddenly heard Gao Jian's voice coming from the pleasure boat: "Erlang, come, what's there?"
The place where Gao Jian asked about it was a famous landscape in Taihu Lake, named Shigong Mountain.
It is named after a huge rock shaped like an old man in front of the mountain. It is said that on the evening of the 13th day of the ninth lunar month, you can see the wonder of the sun and the moon shining.
It was natural that Di Guangyuan couldn't continue to accompany Yang Shouwen, so he turned back to the pleasure boat.
Yang Shouwen breathed a sigh of relief. If Di Guangyuan asked again, he would not know how to answer.
In this way, everyone was rafting on the lake for most of the day and returned to the shore before sunset.
Gao Jian and others were satisfied and seemed to have become much more relaxed.
When they returned to the county government office, they seemed to have not yet had a good time, so they set up a banquet and enjoyed the flowers and drank in the county government office garden.
Pei Guangting invited Yang Shouwen to go, but Yang Shouwen refused on the pretext of being exhausted.
Pei Guangting did not force this, so he had to say a few words of regret and said goodbye and left.
After Pei Guangting left, Yang Shouwen found Yang Chou'er and asked about his situation when he went to the Eight Immortals Inn today.
Everything is normal at the Eight Immortals Inn, nothing special happened.
However, Yang Chou'er got some news from Hu Mazi and Ma Dasao, which attracted Yang Shouwen's attention...
"Some days ago, someone often came to find Li Crook.
The man was not tall, short and fat, and always liked to wear a pair of hats, so he couldn't see clearly. However, by chance, Hu Mazi heard the conversation between the man and Li Cuzi, and the two seemed to mention words like Dongting Township and Zuo Youxian. However, Hu Mazi was discovered by Li Cuzi and even had an argument.
Hu Mazi said that the person who looked for Li Crooked has a local accent, but it sounds strange that I can't explain clearly."
Zuoyouxian?
When Yang Shouwen heard this name, he was shocked.
After arriving in Changzhou, both Gao Jian and him had secretly inquired about Zuo Youxian, but no one in Changzhou knew about it.
In fact, among them, apart from Yang Shouwen and others, there were not many people who knew the name Zuo Youxian. At least, Yang Shouwen had never mentioned it in front of Yang Chou'er, so he could not lie.
Zuo Youxian finally heard the name related to Huangtai Treasure.
Yang Shouwen asked Yang Chou'er carefully again, but it can be seen that Hu Mazi didn't know much.
However, this news is enough to show that Zuo Youxian does exist.
He asked Yang Chou'er to retreat, sat on the couch, picked up the "Wuzhong Miscellaneous Zu" compiled by Wang Yuankai, and subconsciously looked through it. Suddenly, his eyes froze, he placed the book on the couch table, and chanted softly: There were three sisters of Wu Concubine, each living on a peak, and they were very strange. The mountain man set up a temple to worship him, and called him Dongting Township... The three mountains were called Penglai in the Jin Dynasty. Wang Jia wrote "Shiyi Ji": There are three mountains in the sea, and their shapes are like pots!
Is Dongting Township this Dongting Township?
Yang Shouwen hurriedly turned forward and saw the words "Sanmen Mountain" written on it.
This is a record of Sanmen Mountain in Taihu Lake. Yang Shouwen frowned, pondered for a long time, looked carefully several times, and found clues again.
The engraved and printed versions of Wuzhong Zazu are basically in the same font.
Only the record about the "Sanmen Mountain" section, Yang Shouwen found that the fonts were somewhat different, and it seemed that the fonts were specially bolded.
His eyes flashed, and Yang Shouwen seemed to be thinking.
