Half fairy

Chapter 263 Shiji Bay

When Wen Yan'an, who was sitting cross-legged beside her, had eaten and drank enough, Yu Qing also compared the map and listed all the towns to be checked.

There are nearly [-] to [-] small towns in Ningzhou, and he selected two to three hundred according to the map. According to the clues provided by Yun Xi, he selected the small towns near the river one by one.If there is no place called Shijiwan in the small towns along the river in Ningzhou, it means that Yunxi is indeed lying, and there is no need to investigate other small towns.

Of course, the landform 3000 years ago may indeed have undergone tremendous changes, and it is entirely possible to change the course of the river.

However, the purpose of finding Shiji Bay is to find the river as an important clue, and to find the location where Yunxi came out of the mountain from the direction of flow. There is really no need to look for it.

The relevant towns were listed, and it took time to check each one, so Yu Qing had no choice but to ask Wen Yan'an for help.

Hearing that An'an is happy to serve, it is also a good talk to be able to spend a long night with Tan Hualang in Zangshu Pavilion with books as the world.

Not enough, under the instigation of Yu Qing, Wen Yan'an recruited two teenagers from the Zangshu Pavilion to help.

As for the "Old Man" guarding the Cangshu Pavilion, Wen Yan'an waved his hand and signaled Yu Qing not to count on it. Why he didn't say anything, actually, he didn't know exactly why, I just knew that even his grandfather had to be polite. Not that he can be rude.

Yu Qing didn't force it, and immediately divided the list according to the region, and sent it to the three people, asking each of them to go through the written records, find out the former name of each place name, and write it next to it.

He also took a list himself, found relevant government annals and county annals, and looked them up one by one according to the place names.

After figuring out what to do, Wen Yan'an was shocked again, and found that this scholar's attitude was too meticulous and meticulous. In order to understand Ningzhou, he even refused to miss the former names of every place.

The oil lamp was dimmed and then brightened again and again, and it was late at night before I knew it.

Hearing that Yan'an was not as vigorous as Yu Qing, he was already yawning again and again, but he couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to advise again, "Brother Shiheng, it's already late, go back and rest. Wenshu Pavilion is open for you at any time." , It’s not too late to read it again tomorrow, tell them not to clean up this place, let you continue tomorrow.”

Yu Qing: "I'm not tired, and I won't be able to sleep if I don't figure it out. It's better to continue. If you're tired, go back and rest."

Wen Yan'an was speechless, embarrassed to leave the honored guest alone, so he braced himself and stayed up for a while, until the middle of the night, he was really sleepy, dozed off from time to time, and lost the efficiency of searching, so he had to leave first.

Yu Qing didn't see him off either, and watched them off for a while, and then looked at the two teenagers. Seeing that the two teenagers had survived till now, their eyes were still clear and bright, and they suddenly understood that these two teenagers were also practicing.

Until Yinshi, there was almost an hour before dawn, and the two teenagers finally helped him finish everything, handed him the list with the ancient place names, and cleaned up Wen Yan'an's leftover dinner plate before leaving .

Yu Qing gathered all the lists, and began to carefully check them one by one, and finally let go, sitting cross-legged and leaning against the bookshelf.

I didn't find it, I read it three times, and I didn't see the ancient place name "Shiji Bay" from any place names of small towns.

And the documents and various undated local chronicles here are already the most complete places in the whole Ningzhou. If you can't even find them here, it means that they really don't exist.

Thinking of this, Yu Qing was a little annoyed, and she was really deceived by that girl Yun Xi.

The most stupid thing is, knowing that the woman who is neither human nor ghost may be lying to them, but the three senior brothers still can't help but come here greedily, so they actually worked in Wen's for more than a month Your servant is simply ridiculous and deserves it!

He really regrets it now, and what he regrets the most is that he shouldn't have entered the Wen family.

Beside the bookshelf, a figure came silently. It was Elder Wen who guarded the library. The two teenagers went back to rest. After he asked about the situation, he came over.

After staring at Yu Qing in silence for a while, he suddenly said, "Are you looking for something?"

In fact, he had been here twice before, and seeing a few people busy looking through things, he didn't bother.

Seeing him, Yu Qing quickly stood up and saluted.

Wen Yan'an said, I don't know this person's name, because he guards the Wenshu Pavilion, so everyone calls him Old Man, basically living in seclusion in the courtyard of the Wenshu Pavilion all the time, and even Wenshu's children are rarely seen to its person.

Wen Yan'an said that the elders in the clan once heard from their elders that Elder Wen had been in Wenshu Pavilion since he was a child, just like the two teenagers in Wenshu Pavilion. After leaving the Wen family, he came back decades later, and lived in seclusion in the Wenshu Pavilion since then.

This kind of person does not know the depth of the person, coupled with the fact that the two teenagers are also practicing, Yu Qing did not dare to belittle, seeing that his behavior could not be hidden from people with discerning eyes, he had already seen that he was looking for something, so he replied: "Yes. "

Elder Wen: "I've been busy all night, judging by your appearance, could it be that I didn't find it?"

Yu Qing smiled wryly and shook her head, "I really didn't find it, maybe it didn't exist at all."

Elder Wen: "Can you tell me what I'm looking for? I've been in Wenshu Pavilion for many years, and I just hold the book to pass the time when I have nothing to do. I have read many books here. What is your impression, maybe I can give you some advice."

Yu Qing was a little hesitant. It was really hard to tell people who knew his identity about the three-character place name, and it would easily cause danger. Otherwise, their brothers would not have to bother, they would have been clamoring everywhere and openly asking a bunch of people for help. .

But after thinking about it, it is likely that Yunxi was deceived, and it probably didn't exist at all, so he was relieved and sighed: "Find an ancient place name called 'Shiji Bay'."

"Shiji Bay...an ancient place name..." Mr. Wen fell into deep thought, murmured for a while, and then asked, "You stayed up all night, and you searched all over Ningzhou, but you couldn't find it?"

Yu Qing thought for a while, then nodded: "Almost."

Elder Wen didn't ask him why he was looking for this place, "Maybe you can look for it in places other than Ningzhou?"

Yu Qing was stunned, and smiled wryly, "Mr. Wen, if the place I'm looking for exists, it's in Ningzhou."

Wen Lao: "Since it is an ancient place name with a long history, it may not still be in the territory of Ningzhou. In the history of Ningzhou, some areas have been included, and some areas have been cut out and assigned to other states, similar to Thutu What happened in the past has been repeated many times. You read the state chronicles, didn't you notice?"

"Uh..." Yu Qing was stunned, let alone, he only cared about the targeted search with the map, and did not read the entire state chronicles without missing anything.After being awakened by someone, hope surged in my heart again, and I hurriedly said: "What Wen Lao said is that the younger generation is stupid. Dare I ask Wen Lao, is there a map of the state next to Ningzhou?"

Wen Lao: "Yes, there is a map of the entire Jin Kingdom, and the general geographical situation can be found here. A row of bookshelves in this area is the general situation of a state. Ningzhou is on the coast, and there are neighbors behind and on the left and right. , there should be maps of those three houses on the bookshelves across from you. Please don’t look through the mess, I’ll ask the boy to help you find it.” After saying that, he turned and disappeared into the darkness.

"Yes." Yu Qing cupped his hands in thanks.

Soon, those two gentle and fair youths came again. After asking about the situation, they immediately found out all the detailed maps of the three neighboring states, including the general map of the whole state and the detailed maps of each prefecture. .

After the map was handed over to Yu Qing, the two of them did not leave this time. They listened to Elder Wen's instructions to accompany them and help find them if needed. At the same time, they each hugged a map of a state to help check.

After tossing until dawn, a young man suddenly said, "Is the place you are looking for called Shiji Bay?"

Yu Qing looked up in astonishment, "Not bad."

The boy pointed to the map and said, "There is a place called 'Shiji Bay' in Aozhou. I wonder if it is the Shiji Bay that the distinguished guests are looking for."

The other boy immediately raised his head to look, and Yu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged, quickly put down the map and climbed to the opposite side, and followed the location of the boy's finger. That's right, "Shiji Bay" was clearly written next to the river bend on the map. three words.

Looking again, it is really in the mansion adjacent to Ningzhou.

Yu Qing looked up excitedly, "Aozhouzhi, please help me find it."

He wanted to determine whether this Shiji Bay was reallocated from Ningzhou.

Another boy quickly got up to look for it, and quickly found a large volume of Aozhou Chronicles and handed it to Yu Qing.

Yu Qing had a clear goal, so he directly searched for the relevant prefectures and counties, and finally found the relevant records.

About 300 years ago, due to wars and separatism among the heroes, a large area fell from Ningzhou to Aozhou. Until the early Jin Dynasty of this dynasty, it was once divided into Ningzhou for control. Later, due to various reasons , Not long after that area was re-divided back to Aozhou.

According to the records of local chronicles, that place can be described as full of twists and turns.

However, the place name "Shiji Bay" has not changed in any records, which means it has been used from ancient times to the present.

More importantly, at least in terms of place names, Yunxi is not talking nonsense. There was indeed a small town called "Shijiwan" in Ningzhou 3000 years ago.

Such a small town can always exist without changing its name, which shows that the landform or geographical location is quite special.

In short, I finally found it. Yu Qing was both excited and sighed. If I had known that "Shiji Bay" had never been renamed, if I had the knowledge of Mr. Wen, I would have searched all over the map and it would be over. Why bother to go to Wenfu? toss.

In addition to being happy, I also have hidden worries. I have exposed the destination I am looking for, and I hope there will be no complications.

However, there was no other way, if Elder Wen hadn't known about it, I'd probably have given up, and I'm afraid I'd never find Shiji Bay.

After finding the destination, Yu Qing didn't stay any longer. After finding Mr. Wen and saying goodbye, he left Wenshu Pavilion.

The sun has jumped out of the horizon.

Back in the guest room of the main courtyard, Yu Qing brought all the things, wrote a letter of farewell and hid it in his arms, then went to Wen Kui and asked for a carriage, saying that he was going out for a stroll, and refused to even have breakfast , Said that he would find something fresh to eat in the city.

After getting into the carriage, he did not leave the mansion directly, but let the carriage drive to the West Courtyard, and called a servant to find Nanzhu and Mu Aotie.
