636. Chapter 2 The Great Tomb Names Special Lingguang Temple hides in the dense forest
At a place called "Da Tomb", Liu Jialu pointed to the left: the car turned left into a gravel road.
The place name "Da Tomb" is very interesting, and according to Chinese tradition, it seems to be a very unlucky name.
Yan Jianhua objected: "How can you choose such a name? ”
Liu Jialu pointed to a mountain on the east side of the road and said, "Do you think this mountain looks like a tomb?" ”
Everyone looked over into the mountains.
"It's like a grave bag." Chen Jie said.
"The name is related to a legend, although it is a bit far-fetched, but it also has a little meaning." Liu Jialu said.
"Director Liu, tell us about it." Han Lingling is also interested in the origin of this place name.
"It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, once ordered his own mausoleum to be built in this area."
"Isn't Zhu Yuanzhang's mausoleum in the Ming Tomb?" Ouyang Ping said.
Legend has it that after Zhu Yuanzhang died, when he went out of the funeral, the thirteen city gates came out of the coffin at the same time, and he was afraid that someone would dig a grave behind him, so he was suspicious. Since the thirteen gates are out of the coffin, there should be thirteen mausoleums. ”
"Director Liu, is there a mausoleum here?"
"There is indeed a mausoleum here, but it is not Zhu Yuanzhang's."
"It's not Zhu Yuanzhang's, whose is it?"
"I don't know whose it is, but judging from the scale of the mausoleum, it is certainly not an ordinary person's mausoleum."
"Director Liu, tell me the origin of the place name 'Big Grave'!" Han Lingling shifted everyone's topic to the original topic in time.
"It is said that when building the mausoleum, each craftsman had to complete a certain amount of work, and if he couldn't complete it, he would be beheaded and thrown here, because there were too many people who were beheaded because they couldn't complete the task, so over time, a hill like a tomb was formed. Hence the name 'Big Grave'. ”
The car follows the winding mountain road north into a dense wooded road, which is built on the hillside, and a short distance to the west of the road is a wide and flat asphalt road. Sitting in the car, you can faintly see this asphalt road.
Ouyang Ping was very puzzled: "Director Liu, why are these two roads different?" ”
"That road leads to Lingguang Temple, it turned out, that is also a stone road, these years, with the rise of tourism, the incense of Lingguang Temple is becoming more and more prosperous, local leaders in order to develop tourism, on the construction of a road up the mountain, there is a very large mausoleum near Lingguang Temple, that is, the mausoleum I just mentioned, as for this road, it is specially for the car to transport stones, so the road condition is relatively poor.
Zuo Xiangdong suddenly stopped the car, because there was a truck carrying stones in front of him, and the road was relatively narrow, only enough for one car to go, so he had to pull the car to the side of the road and let the truck pass before he could continue to move forward.
Everyone watched as the big truck swayed slowly past them.
After the meeting was over, I stepped on the accelerator left to the east, hit the steering wheel, and the car continued forward.
After driving up a high slope, Chen Jie saw a looming yellow building, located on the west side of the road, where there were lush forests. All Chen Jie saw was the cornices and ridges of the building.
"That's the 'Lingguang Temple'." Liu Jialu pointed to the yellow-colored building.
