Chapter 240



"Goose goose goose—"

It was the first time that Sheng Nanxi saw Gu Yuancheng embarrassed, and she laughed so loudly.

Fortunately, the pool was not deep, and the little boy was very skilled. He adjusted his body shape the moment he was dragged away, and his landing posture was extremely graceful, without even a drop of water being splashed on him.

Seeing the little girl laughing so happily, he couldn't help but smile. He stretched out his hand to support her lightly, so that she wouldn't get too carried away and accidentally step into the deep water.

He looked around consciously and saw that the scenery was more magnificent when he was soaking in the hot spring pool than when he was standing by it.

Unlike here where a light snow suddenly fell overhead, the sun was shining brightly in the distance at this time. The last rays of the setting sun sprinkled all over the trees, as if coating the surrounding scenery with a layer of golden light.

Isn't it just like what the old poem says, 'The sun rises in the east and the rain falls in the west'?

However, we have to replace 'rain' with 'snow' here.

This place is really wonderful. In winter, you can enjoy the hot spring while admiring the snow scene. In spring, you can see the endless sea of ​​flowers in the east. In autumn, you can see the maple forest stretching for dozens of miles in the west. Each season has its own beauty.

Gu Yuancheng was stunned by the scene in front of him, and was actually curious about who the previous owner of this hot spring was.

Not only does she know how to enjoy life, she also has a very sophisticated personality. Even if it is just a hot spring bath, she will not forget to spend a lot of time and effort to arrange it, and deeply create it into an unforgettable experience.

He was lost in thought, but Sheng Nanxi changed her position because of the fight between the little boys. In a blink of an eye, it seemed that a ray of light was seen from the cracks in the stone next to him!

"Hey...Xiao Cheng, the cliff next to us seems a little strange..."

Sheng Nanxi was puzzled, so she paddled with her chubby hands and swam towards the cliff nearby.

There was a reservoir on the cliff where she pointed out, with warm spring water rushing down from above, forming a small waterfall. It was the source of the living water for the Fangtang Spring Pool.

Although it is a long time ago, you can still see many traces of artificial excavation nearby. It can be seen that there is no natural spring here, and the water in the hot spring pool was brought from somewhere else by people with great effort.

And the light that Sheng Nanxi had seen earlier came from the cliff behind the waterfall!

Unexpectedly, the water in the pool got deeper and deeper, and by the time she reached the cliff, she could no longer guess the bottom. The little girl had no choice but to wave her hand, move a large rock nearby, climb up and look inside the cliff.

But somehow, the flash of light that had flashed by before was no longer seen.

"You mean this cliff is strange? How come it has stood here for so many years..."

Gu Yuancheng didn't notice anything wrong, but he followed her to check carefully. The more he looked, the more serious he became. After a while, he suddenly realized something, picked up a stone and threw it towards the cliff.

"Bang-bang-bang-bang-"

The stone hit several rocks in succession due to his force. Then a series of heavy muffled sounds came from behind the cliff, and then the cliff in front of him slowly moved away, revealing a huge cave!

Good guys! What a superb concealment technique this must be, even Sheng Nanxi and Gu Yuancheng passed by and didn't find that there was a door on the cliff!

If Sheng Nanxi hadn't seen the faint light before, no one would have thought that there was another hole inside!

There is a hot spring pool inside the cliff cave that is larger than the one outside. The water in the reservoir above rushes out and flows into the small hot spring pool outside the cave. In fact, because the water here is not polluted by the outside world all year round, it is even clearer than the hot spring pool outside!

There were two rows of palm-sized night-shining pearls hanging on the cliff of the cave, illuminating the inside as bright as day. It must be the light that Sheng Nanxi had glimpsed earlier.

In addition, a large platform paved with jade was built beside the hot spring pool. On the platform, various small landscape steps are piled up with white jade. Although some parts have been eroded by the spring water due to its age, it is not difficult to guess what it looked like before.

This is exactly where the previous owner used to place flower petals, soap beans and other bathing supplies.

What’s even more shocking is that there are some metal designs next to the platform that look like modern massage beds and are shaped like shower heads!

Although the shape looks a bit rough, it already has the prototype of a modern hot spring pool!

Sheng Nanxi knew that the wisdom of the ancients was no less than that of modern people, but it was a bit beyond the scope of the theory that they even had such a thing.

She suppressed her surprise and looked at the lifelike murals on the cliff.

The wall in front of me had obviously been treated by someone beforehand, so that this place was not eroded by too much spring water, and the magnificent paintings on it were preserved relatively well.

She took a closer look and found that although there were many paintings, almost every one of them contained a woman with extraordinary appearance.

Each painting depicts how she punished evildoers, how she treated countless injured people, and how she led her family to reclaim wasteland and make a fortune...

The painting clearly shows the biography of that legendary woman!

The painter seemed to be very particular about her, depicting every detail of her clothing, every subtle expression and movement vividly, with countless tenderness and tenderness in every stroke.

Along with the woman, there is also a handsome man appearing in every mural.

But he always stood quietly beside the girl, or watched her shine in the crowd with a focused look, or helped her do things within his ability, or held a scroll in one hand and pointed at the content with the other, as if giving the girl some advice...

Of course, the painting style used to depict this man is as crude as that used to depict other supporting characters, with only a few strokes to depict his charm.

The style of the painting that depicts that woman is quite different.

Sheng Nanxi's mouth twitched as she watched, and she inexplicably felt that these murals were all made by that man.

The other person was obviously a rough and unruly person, but he loved the woman so much that he was willing to use all his thoughts to carefully describe her most beautiful appearance.

Ancient people often liked to suppress women to enhance the glorious image of men. It is rare to see someone like him who puts his beloved women in the most important position and is willing to be a foil...

Sheng Nanxi had some guesses in her mind, but suddenly she heard the little boy's voice coming from not far away:

"It turns out that this hot spring was built by Emperor Xiao Huaishuo of the Qing Dynasty for Empress Ningde in the first year of the founding of the country."

"According to historical records, Empress Ningde Su Qingning was loyal, virtuous and virtuous. She stayed with the Xiao family when they were in decline in the early days, accompanying Emperor Shengwu Xiao Huaishuo to build the family business step by step. Later, she took advantage of the chaos in the country and seized the throne in one fell swoop."

"Xiao Huaishuo was a man who valued friendship. After ascending the throne, he did not forget the support of his wife, and immediately appointed her as the empress. From then on, there were no concubines in the harem, and all the favors of the three thousand were concentrated on one person."

"I didn't expect to see another version here that is different from what is recorded in history books..."

Gu Yuancheng saw the mural and couldn't help laughing.

He knew that the legendary queen was extremely powerful, and he also knew that many Confucian scholars liked to erase the achievements of women, lest women in later generations follow suit and no one would be willing to stay at home and take care of their husbands and children.

But I never thought... that this period of history would be distorted so severely.

If it was really as depicted in the mural, the protagonist of the whole story would be reversed. The one who shined brightly should be the legendary Empress Su Qingning, and the great Emperor Shengwu would be reduced to a supporting role running errands behind him.

Moreover, these murals seem to be most likely from the hands of Emperor Shengwu, and are much more credible than the historical materials relayed by literati.

Sheng Nanxi was surprised that the little boy guessed the source of the mural so quickly. She turned around and saw several lines of densely packed small characters in front of him.

The little fish was very curious, so he waved his chubby hands and swam over there.

"Today we are walking together in the snow, shall we grow old together in this life?"

As Sheng Nanxi swam over, she saw a line of arrogant simplified Chinese characters!

뀞中 sighed that Queen Nasu was indeed a time-traveling senior, her handwriting was so domineering.

Then he thought of something and couldn't help laughing.

"Hahaha——Xiao Cheng, what a coincidence! That Queen Su came here to soak in the hot springs after snowing, and that's why she left a line of small words?"

Sheng Nanxi was laughing, but suddenly she heard the little boy beside her say leisurely:

"Fortunately, I have my beloved by my side. Why should I wait for the snow to turn my hair white?"

"Ah? What did you say?!"

Sheng Nanxi was so frightened that she ran out.
