A Su Song Exhibit Hall was also built around the Su Song's Tombstone near Yinsheng Temple.

Everyone knows.

Zhenjiang is a city with incredibly rich tourism resources.

The city has two 5A-level tourist attractions and seven 4A-level attractions, with a consistently high number of visitors over the years.

So when Xu Yun and the other person arrived, not only did they see some scattered tourists, but a modern building suddenly appeared before them.

"What did you say?"

Xu Yun looked at the ticket kiosk in front of him, with a string of question marks appearing on his forehead:

"You need to buy a ticket to visit the Su Song Ancestral Hall?"

The ticket seller was a chubby young girl, who replied in a slightly polite but emotionless tone:

"Yes, there are many artifacts from the Song Dynasty in the Su Song Ancestral Hall, and it connects to a tea garden and Zhuoxi Spring, Xiting Spring, and Lu Pao Spring. It's considered a combined scenic spot."

"This is a requirement by the Cultural Relics Bureau and Tourism Bureau, after all, it is a cultural protection unit. This is the case in most places around the country."

Xu Yun secretly glanced at Old Su, inexplicably reminded of an image of a last emperor visiting the Forbidden City.

Then he took out his phone, scanned the QR code:

"Alright, how much?"

"Children under one Pan and seniors over seventy are free, those above one Pan are ten yuan, exactly one Pan for a full ticket."

Xu Yun quickly paid 20, received the ticket stub from the ticket vendor, and walked into the attraction with Old Su.

Behind the ticket booth was a quiet wooden boardwalk, with winter sunlight warmly shining down on their faces.

The two walked straight for over fifty meters, coming upon a brand new building.

The building's land area was about three to four hundred square meters, with a statue standing prominently at the front.

The building had only one main entrance, with the bold words 'Su Song's Tomb' above it.

Xu Yun led Old Su to stand before the statue.

He first looked at the statue, then at Old Su.

Xu Yun: "...."

What can I say?

It looks like Liang Chaowei made to resemble Yang Di...

Then Old Su looked at his 'portrait', suddenly thought of something, and walked to the statue:

"Xiaoxu, help us take a photo together, and remember to include the words Su Song Ancestral Hall in the background."

Xu Yun continued:

"....."

After taking the photo.

The two walked into the Su Song Ancestral Hall.

The interior of the Su Song Ancestral Hall was somewhat vintage, dominated by dark tones, instantly imparting a feeling of the weight of time upon entering.

The walls inside the hall were inscribed with Old Su's character introductions and portraits, and there was a small television playing Old Su's life story.

Information like birth and death years, life achievements, and historical evaluations were included.

Below the walls were display cases containing items not yet moved to the museum.

Old Su and Xu Yun began to stroll from the left side, examining the relics excavated from Old Su's grave:

"This should be the tea set from the front hall. You see, this evening primrose pattern was specifically used for receiving guests."

"Tsk tsk, do you see the lower part of this lamp? The entire Su Mansion only used this kind of lamp during the first year, because his forefinger was missing a segment from the battlefield, making it hard to hold things, so I had someone make a special lamp for him."

"And this is..."

Xu Yun also walked, listened, and observed with interest, finding the items that had been buried for nearly a thousand years surprisingly familiar to him.

For example, a bamboo basket he saw.

This was the special utensil for the 'Qing' servants of Su Mansion. Xu Yun's first breakfast at Su Mansion was served using this.

Not decayed in over nine hundred years, who knows if it's due to the special environment inside the tombstone, or if some techniques had been used on it before burial.

And another stone mill he saw, was also from the Old Su Mansion.

Of course.

Xu Yun wasn't very familiar with this one, but Brother Lv was.

And as they were touring.

A couple also approached nearby, exuding a sticky romantic air.

The woman leaned on the man's arm while browsing and remarked:

"Ah Yuan, do you think these introductions are real? Was this person called Su Song really so remarkable?"

The man was a scholarly-looking guy wearing glasses, who pondered for a few seconds before saying:

"These are recorded historical achievements, so they should be real, right?"

The woman asked again:

"Then why haven't I heard much about this person in textbooks?"

"Well...."

The man opened his mouth as if to explain but ultimately gave up:

"I don't know, there must be some reason. By the way, what do you want to eat tonight?"

"Tonight huh? Fermented mandarin fish, stinky tofu, smelly amaranth stems, and a bowl of snail rice noodles, how about that?"

"Sure, and after that, I'll eat you..."

Shortly after the couple walked away.

Xu Yun and Old Su finished their tour.

Old Su adjusted his breathing for a moment, pointed outside, and said to Xu Yun:

"Let's go, take a look at my grave."

Xu Yun nodded.

And led Old Su out of the Su Song Ancestral Hall.

Anyone who has been to Five Continents Mountain would know.

The grave Old Su referred to is actually a type of mausoleum resembling a dress and cap tomb.

After all, the actual tomb chamber has not yet been fully opened, and Old Su's coffin has not yet been excavated.

This mausoleum's tombstone was built by Emperor Huizong after Old Su's death. Later, the Cultural Relics Bureau conveniently built an empty tomb behind the tombstone to provide a place for some descendants of Old Su to visit and worship.

The layout of the whole grave, if you have to describe it, somewhat resembles the Yue Fei's Tomb at West Lake:
