Chapter 467 Rehe Palace (5)

Looking up, the sky is shining brightly at this moment, with cloudlessness. Not to mention the real moon, even a cloud shaped like a moon cannot be seen.

Chen Shuqing was also confused about this. She looked at Hu Gu and He Tianao, but saw that the two of them were very calm and even showed a little disdain. They thought that they had discovered this strange phenomenon long ago, so they pretended to paint, but in fact they took the opportunity to stay by the pool to study the mystery.

When the Dharma Shanga saw Pu Chen and the others confused, he took the initiative to explain: "Haha, don't be surprised, come and see here." After that, the Dharma Shanga pointed to the middle part of the rockery in the pond.

Pu and Chen looked in that direction together and saw that although the rockery was rugged, no matter how strange the shape was, it was always a whole, with only a hollow in the middle, and that hollow in the shape of a crescent moon.

At this time, when they looked at the pool water carefully, the two realized that the reflection of the "moon" in the water was just a crescent-shaped light formed by sunlight passing through the hollow and shooting into the water.

In this way, Hu Gu and He Tianao's calm expressions were very easy to understand. Since they had been observing here for so long, they had naturally seen the mystery.

"So that's it." Pu Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought it was the real moon, haha, then, what kind of story is behind this Yuechi?"

The Father Shanga explained: "This unique scenery is said to be built by Emperor Gaozong when he was alive. One day, Emperor Gaozong held a banquet in the "Wenyue Tower" in this villa and drank with his ministers. At night, when Emperor Gaozong saw the three words "Wenyue Tower" written by himself, he suddenly felt aroused and recited Li Bai's poem "Wenyue Tower". When he recited "I only wish that when the song was on the wine, the moonlight shone in the golden cup," a very talkative minister suddenly said: "It's a pity that there is night and there is daylight, and the moonlight cannot shine in the golden cup for a long time."

"After hearing this, Emperor Gaozong was very unhappy, so he deliberately made things difficult for the minister and said, "So, can you create a moon that can be seen during the day for me?" When the minister heard this, he was so scared that he was so scared that he could not disobey the will of the saint, so he had to bite the bullet and agree. So he found a hundred skilled craftsmen and offered a reward of 1,000 taels of silver for a three-month period to make them create a "moon that can be seen during the day". If they could not create it, they would be punished and beheaded.

"How can we make the moon also have a moon during the day? The craftsmen were very worried about it. In despair, an old man carrying a wooden barrel to deliver water shouted outside the villa: "Sell the moon! Sell the moon!" The craftsmen were worried. When they heard this, they rushed out and called the old man a madman. But the old man said to them seriously: "The moon fell into the well. I used the barrel for a long time but didn't catch it." Haha, when the craftsmen heard it, they immediately felt like

Impression: If you use the principle of wellhead reflection, pile a rockery in the pool, and then dig a crescent-shaped hole in the rockery, so that Yangguan can reflect it in the water through this hole, will you see the "moon" during the day? So, they immediately started construction. A few days later, the rockery was built, and the minister immediately invited Emperor Gaozong to watch the moon in front of Wenjin Pavilion during the day. When Emperor Gaozong saw this scene, he immediately praised it and mentioned the name "Parent Moon Pool".

After the explanation of the Dharma Shanga, he added with a smile: "This is the story of Paiyuechi. How about it? I said, you will definitely be disappointed after listening to it, right?"

If you hear this story on weekdays, Pu Zixuan will still find it a little interesting. However, from beginning to end, this Yuechi was a little joke by Qianlong and had nothing to do with the monsters. Pu Zixuan was indeed a little disappointed, but it was difficult to explain it clearly, so he had to say against his will: "Where is where? I see this story is interesting, but it is a good material for creating poetry. The theme is: Even if the working people have great wisdom, they must be inspired by the emperor to display it."

After hearing this, the Fashi Shanga was really stunned, and then laughed: "Hahaha, Mr. Xinghe, even I, the man of man, could have heard the tone of your words. If you were working with Emperor Gaozong back then, you would have been no worse than Ji Xiaolan, Heshen and others."

Pu Zixuan's flattery made Chen Shuqing unable to help but give him a blank look. Then, Chen Shuqing sighed and said, "Okay, the mystery of this accompanying Yuechi has been solved. Where will we go next?"

Fashi Shangadao: "Where can you go? Keep going to the Little Potala Palace."

"Okay, then go on the road." Before Pu Zixuan got on the carriage, he deliberately asked Hu Gu and He Tianao, "Are you interested in walking with us?"

He Tianao glared at Pu Zixuan and replied: "Our painting has not been completed yet. We need to continue painting here. I don't think it's necessary. Let's go slow."

So, two groups of capable people who mixed into Chengde Summer Resort exchanged false greetings by the Banyuechi for a while. After listening to a story about Qianlong and Banyuechi together, they parted ways.

At night, Chen Shuqing lay on the bedside, covering the door with a faint cover, waiting for something boredly. Soon, a crisp knock came from the door.

"Come in, the door is always kept for you."

With Chen Shuqing's greeting, Hu Gu walked in, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Hehe, it's me, not Pu Zixuan. I've disappointed you, my lovely sister..."

Chen Shuqing glanced at Hu Gu and snorted coldly, "You are wrong, I'm not disappointed at all. I've guessed that you would come to me tonight, so I specially kept the door for you so that you won't be unhappy and turn the door into mud or something, and then everyone will be embarrassed."

"Hmph, then I have to praise you as a magician?" Hu Gu teased and said seriously, "I will talk to you first. I am here to talk to you tonight, not to find fault. I was beaten by you on Mount Tai that day, one because you have the support of the mysterious piano, and the other because I didn't use all my strength. After all, my biological sister was naughty and I can't take it too seriously, right?"

"Hahaha..." Chen Shuqing laughed and said leisurely, "Okay, it's rare that a defeated general told his failure so fresh and refined. Speaking of which, we haven't had such an opportunity for a long time, so we can calm down and chat. Don't worry, even if we are in this territory, we can't fight. Okay, you can sit down."

Hu Gu sat down on a chair in the room and asked straight to the point: "How much truth have you found about Chengde Summer Resort?"

Chen Shuqing sneered: "Pu Zixuan and I are one day later than you two 'painters', but you ask me first. Otherwise, you will tell us what you already know, and I will exchange the information we have with you."

Hu Gu paused for a while, as if he was experiencing a ideological struggle. Then, he decided to hide Aunt Peng Si and told the rest truthfully: "Yes, when we were in Mount Tai, we overheard your conversation and knew that the half-eternal night forest was buried by Ouyang Zhiguo under a statue of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva near Chengde Summer Villa, and rushed here. The statue existed, and I found it, but at some moment, the Bodhisattva actually closed his eyes, and, near it, a huge bear demon came out of thin air."

"Bear demon?" Chen Shuqing suddenly thought of Zhou Faning's three children after hearing this word. She was stunned and asked, "So, what does that bear demon look like? Is it a complete bear demon or a human-headed bear body?"

"It's a human-headed and bear body, although it's not exactly like a human face. I deeply doubt that it was transformed by humans after they encountered some kind of curse. However, this kind of demonization will take a certain amount of time to be completely completed." Hu Gu thought for a while and said, "It has green hair all over its body, holding a mace in its hand, and some people's words that cannot be heard clearly in his throat. When he saw me, he launched an attack without hesitation. I used my unique skills to kill it, but after that, a new bear demon appeared and I left there."
