The next day, Lin Xi and Qin Huan separated and drove to Gusu with Xiao min.

Because there was a small min shift, Lin Xi and them rushed to Gusu city that night.

Yu pangzi said that Qingyi lane is located in the ancient city of Suzhou. After they stayed, Lin Xi decided to familiarize themselves with the environment, conserve energy and visit again tomorrow.

So they came to the ancient city of Gusu and first looked for a place to fill their stomachs.

The ancient city of Suzhou is amazing, not to mention its long history. It is unique only by its strong precipitation.

It is said that the ancient city of Gusu is based on 5000 years of farming culture and 3000 years of Wu culture, creating a 2500 year old spring and autumn capital. It has 1500 years of Buddhist and Taoist culture, 1000 years of urban pattern in the Tang Dynasty, 800 years of neighborhood style in the Song Dynasty, and more than 500 years of prosperous civilization in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In this ancient city, there are five blocks such as changmen, Shantang, Pingjiang, Humble Administrator's garden and Yiyuan, historical features such as Guanqian, Shiquan Street and Fengqiao, as well as more than 30 old streets, 70 ancient bridges, 22 ancient revetments, 639 ancient wells and 22 ancient arches, which can be described as full of ancient meaning.

And every place has a unique story.

For example, maple bridge.

According to the ancients, there can only be one master monk in a temple. Hanshan and Shide two eminent monks are in the same temple. Who will preside over it?

The two eminent monks were very polite and pushed around without result.

In the past, when there were only two monks in the temple, it didn't matter. When a group of young monks came one after another, the problem became prominent.

A little monk asked Hanshan, "old monk, which Sutra do you read today..."

Hanshan said, "you should ask Shide first

The little monk went to ask Shide, who said, "you should ask Master Hanshan

They respect each other, but they suffer. How can they entertain pilgrims? How much sesame oil do you buy? Who will be sent to collect firewood? These small problems make the little monk at a loss. His heart is full of resentment and his back is full of complaints.

The little monk's complaints spread to Hanshan and Shide. They will discuss and push around, but there is still no result.

Until one day, a farmer came to the temple and advised Hanshan and Shide: "don't be humble, two masters, let me give you some advice. It's fairest for you to be a monk if you are more capable than others."

Hanshan, it's a way to pick it up, but what's better than it?

The peasant woman pointed to the river in front of the temple and said, "there is no bridge on this river. It is inconvenient and dangerous for villagers to cross the river after they come and go. Please use your magic to change a bridge. Whoever becomes a bridge will have great ability..."

Monks don't talk, nor are they afraid of cold mountains and hide spells.

So he took off his monk's robe and threw it on the river to become a bridge deck. Unfortunately, there was no bridge support. A gust of wind blew and it was about to collapse. Hanshan quickly inserted his Zen stick into the river and lifted the spell. The Zen stick turned into a tree, which was paved towards the opposite bank, and a bridge lay firmly on the river.

The peasant woman smiled and said, "Hanshan is better at it

With that, she threw out a handkerchief, which was transformed into a lotus, then stepped on the lotus and slowly rose to the sky.

Hanshan and Shide looked up. It turned out that the peasant woman was the Avalokitesvara Dharma, so Hanshan had to be a monk. The temple was changed to "Hanshan Temple". Hanshan's Zen stick was cut from a maple tree, so it was called "Maple Bridge".

These stories are too mythological, but it is enough to see that the ancient city of Gusu has a long history.

Lin Xi and his entourage found a lively restaurant in the ancient city, asked for an elegant seat near the river, and called the waiter: "give us all the famous dishes of your Gusu, the sooner the better..."

The waiter hesitated. He looked at Xiao Min and then returned to Lin Xi. He hesitated and said, "my guest, this is not very good. You only have two people. Can you finish eating? We have enough weight..."

Lin Xi waved his hand: "are you afraid I'll break my promise? Just go ahead and hurry..."

Seeing Lin Xi's insistence, the waiter stopped talking and muttered "rich people are so arrogant", so he ran to the back to serve.

Lin Xi is sneering at Xiao min. you are all light when you are poor.

In the past two days, he has fully realized that the strength of Xiaomin is comparable to gluttony.

In the night view outside the window, there are small bridges, running water, lights on both sides, sometimes covered boats, and the noise behind them. It's just not lively. The ancients said that heaven and earth can be seen.

Unfortunately, at present, Lin Xi doesn't want to appreciate the beautiful scenery. Yu pangzi just said that the excellent sculptor is in Qingyi Lane in Gusu, but he came all the way and asked for someone to inquire, but he didn't have this place.

No, Yu Pang is fooling him!

After thinking about it, I think it's impossible. Even if I deceive him, there's no need to take this kind of thing. Maybe the place is too small and few people know it.

He wanted to contact fat man and ask for his specific address, but he was hung up by fat man. It seems that he can only find it by himself.

Even thought this matter, he now more and more felt that Yu pangzi could not afford to give him Xiaomin.

After a while, the food came up.

The delicacies on a large table were delicious and smelly, which made people move their fingers, and Xiao Min swallowed his saliva. However, without Lin Xi's words, he didn't dare to point out indiscriminately, so he could only look at Lin Xi.

"I've been tired all day. Let's eat first..."

Looking at Xiao Min's appearance, Lin Xi suddenly felt funny. He was so big and looked like a child. He was afraid that he would be a master of internal boxing.

Xiao Min was not polite either. He grabbed the chopsticks and ate it, as if he hadn't eaten for three days.

Instead of using chopsticks, Lin Xi stopped the waiter and asked, "waiter, let me ask you about a place. Do you know there is a place called Qingyi Lane in the ancient city..."

The waiter stopped, looked back and said in doubt, "Qingyi lane? Haven't you heard of it! Sir, our ancient city is not small. I know all the famous ones, but I haven't heard of Qingyi lane. Did you remember wrong or find the wrong place..."

Lin Xi frowned when he heard the speech. The waiter is here to make a living. He knows the ancient city very well. He doesn't even know it. Is it difficult? Is there really no Qingyi Lane here?

Just when Lin Xi was confused, the waiter seemed to think of something and patted on the forehead: "by the way, I remember, what you're looking for, shouldn't it be Xiaoying..."

Lin Xi's eyes lit up and asked, "xiaoyingnong? What do you say..."

The waiter told him, "it's very big. According to our elders, there was a small country called Ying State in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Among the countries at that time, it could only be regarded as a small country. From the founding of the people's Republic of China, it was a vassal state of the state of Lu, with a radius of only tens of miles..."

"At the beginning of the founding of the people's Republic of China, its national strength was too weak to compete with other great powers. Therefore, its deeds were not left in the history books, only a simple lineage, which spread in folklore..."

"It is said that the state of Ying finally began to grow stronger after the efforts of several generations, but it is still a vassal of the state of Lu. Yan, the Yi father who succeeded to the throne, is a confused monarch, reuses treacherous officials, makes a mess of the state of Ying, and the politics is extremely corrupt..."

"Later, Yifu Yan passed the throne to his younger brother Shushu, who was very virtuous and unwilling to take over the power of Yifu Yan. After only being king for half a year, he passed the throne to Yifu Yan's son Xia Fu. After Xia Fu became king, he granted his brothers and friends to Yundi to establish a small kingdom..."

"Xiaoying Kingdom has been handed down for 14 generations. It was destroyed by King Xuan of Chu in the middle of the Warring States period. However, the royal family of Xiaoying Kingdom, Prince Jia Hongji, fled to the state of Wu and lived behind the gate of Chang. He went to the city and changed his surname to Zhu, known as Hongji Zhu. It is also called Qingyi Lane because Xiaoying worships blue and likes to wear blue clothes, but we still used to call it Xiaoying lane. If my guest hadn't asked, I would have forgotten..."

At last, the waiter looked at Lin Xi and said in doubt, "why, are you going to Xiaoying Lane..."

Lin Xi kept it firmly in mind that as long as he knew the place, he would not worry about not finding it, and replied, "I'll find a craftsman. I have something to do..."

Unexpectedly, the waiter's face changed and said, "my guest, I'm not talkative and I can't get rid of it. That place is very evil..."

Lin ximeifeng said, "what do you mean..."

The waiter looked around and made sure there was no one else. Then he whispered, "that place is haunted. It's very noisy. No one has lived there for a long time. We are local people and never go there. If we get dirty things, the gain is not worth the loss..."

Obviously, the waiter regarded Lin Xi and them as tourists.

"Haunted? What's the age, and some people believe in this..."

Lin Xi is not very strange to the word haunted. When he was a child, adults would say that to scare them in the village.

Even the old man fooled him and forced him to learn a lot of magic to subdue demons and ghosts.

But he knew it was nonsense.

The sky is clear and the sky is clear. There are no ghosts!

Thinking of this, Lin Xi smiled and didn't take it to heart. He just played a joke on the waiter and fooled him, a tourist, and then sent him: "OK, I know, thank you, waiter! By the way, give us some rice, well, let's have five bowls first..."

Seeing that Lin Xi didn't believe it, the waiter wanted to persuade him again, but when he heard Lin Xi's dismissal, he wisely shut up and said in his heart, "I'm telling you not to believe in evil. When you see it, you'll know it's powerful..."

Then he heard that Lin Xi wanted five bowls of rice. He was stunned and thought he had heard wrong. He subconsciously looked at the delicacies on the table and said, "it's good to finish the dishes. If you want another five bowls of rice, you can't support you..."
