Chapter 167
As soon as Yan Yongchun and Yuan Ziyi woke up from their bewilderment, they rushed outside without hesitation.
They only saw a mass of dark things rushing towards the sky, making a loud noise in the air, like thousands of mansions collapsing together, thousands of horses roaring and scattering dust, and the sparks flickered and completely covered the moonlit night.
At this time, Jiang Wen was squatting under the strange tree that had been occupied by foreign objects just now, and found an ancient inscription there.The stele was deliberately smashed upside down, and only a few relatively complete stone bodies were still engraved with words, and the word "Fuxu" can still be seen after patchwork.
"Master Jiang, are you alright?"
Yan Wing Chun stepped forward and asked with concern.
"It's okay, I'm used to this level of disturbance."
Jiang Wen turned around and glanced at her, raised the gravel in his hands and didn't intend to get up, and replied absent-mindedly, "Come and see the good things I found—it seems that Zhangqiugang Village wasn't originally called by this name. "
Yuan Ziyi looked at him angrily: "What time is it, why are you looking at stones?"
Only then did Jiang Wen stand up, and the three of them stood in front of the cottage, letting the cold wind blow the silence and disturb the clothes, and stared at the sky until the clear wind and bright moon reappeared, foggy The glitchy moonlight returned to its original appearance, and there was a strange and unpredictable atmosphere in front of the three of them.
"You...do you recognize what was just now?"
Yuan Ziyi was a little terrified, so he cast his eyes for help and inquiry on Jiang Wen for the first time, and then he guessed the deep meaning of Jiang Wen's calm expression.
After three or two days of getting along, she has been able to judge the meaning of Jiang Wen's actions - the more relaxed and natural his expression is, the more serious the matter is, but if he behaves serious, he will often make some absurd things in the next moment act.
"You two girls, the origin of the thing in front of me is unknown, but the origin has already been found in historical records. Even if I searched for it long ago, I can't make it clear right now."
Jiang Wen looked around at the cold wind and rain, the black coffin in the cold forest, and said slowly, "Why don't we slowly move to the riverside, and I will slowly explain the origin of this thing."
Zhangqiugang Village is only half a mile away from Jiangwan Shuikou. The three of them walked along the mountain road through the wild forest, and came to a place with a particularly open sea and sky. Indeterminate—the floating corpse on the seabed, the black spot in the village, the two events are only a moment apart, but it seems like a world away.
Looking back at the dim lights in the village, Jiang Wen didn't answer this question directly, instead he talked about other things.
"Miss Yan, I heard that Hong Xiguan came to see you before he left. Did he mention where he was going?"
"So you are still looking for the whereabouts of Nan Shaolin."
Yuan Ziyi made a gesture of sudden realization, and then turned to look at Yan Yongchun, "Sister Yan, he has asked me about this over and over again these days, and I am almost annoyed to death."
Jiang Wenyi said sternly: "I obviously asked the question three times, but you answered differently every time. Could it be that my incomprehension is to blame?"
Yuan Ziyi said dissatisfiedly: "I obviously said the same thing, you must have misheard yourself!"
Jiang Wen squinted at her, and didn't know why Yuan Ziyi had such confidence. She guessed for a while that Nan Shaolin had gone to Guangxi, and then said that Nan Shaolin went from the sea by boat. What is the Buddhist world map, are you going to go around Nanzhan Buzhou to Guangxi?
Seeing that the two were still arguing, Yan Yongchun sighed and smiled slightly.
With the arrival of the two of them, she was relieved of the huge mental pressure she had experienced in the past few days, and only at this time could Yan Yongchun reveal his true emotions with peace of mind.
"Master Jiang, Daxia Hong and Miss Hongdou did come to see me before they left. They said that Guangzhou City should not stay for a long time, and advised me to leave as soon as possible."
After Jiang Wen heard it, he didn't think so.Today's whole world is not a land of right and wrong, if they dare not even dare to swim in such muddy water, Nan Shaolin's vitality will probably perish.
From Yan Yongchun's mouth, the most important information Jiang Wen wanted to know was the whereabouts of the remaining top masters of Southern Shaolin—compared with the good and bad disciples and disciples, these talents can be regarded as the golden bodies of Southern Shaolin.
Fortunately, Yan Yongchun, who was concentrating on walking the rivers and lakes, paid more attention to many news than the absent-minded Yuan Ziyi, and she immediately told Jiang Wen some very important information.
One month before Jiang Wen's arrival, the Southern Shaolin remnant party had been fighting fiercely with the Qing court's martial arts forces in this Guangzhou city. They relied on their Zen connections to occupy the left and right sides of Guangxiao Temple, and the fight was turbulent. Due to the situation, the imperial court was requested to send experts from the inner circle to help, and then various experts from the Wudang sect were brought in.
The fierce fighting developed to a climax, so that everyone in the city knew that there were four masters in Southern Shaolin.
The number one among the masters is undoubtedly the abbot Zhishan Zen Master, who is praised by everyone for his boxing and Dharma; the second is Master Jipo, who is crazy and powerful in martial arts; , It is said that people from north to south kill like hemp, and there is only one dead end to be an enemy of him.
But the problem really came from these four people.
Zen master Zhishan was seriously injured in the fire in the South Shaolin Temple, and there were few outsiders in retreat for recuperation.But just a few weeks ago, Zen Master Zhishan, the abbot of Nan Shaolin who had occasionally shown up, suddenly disappeared completely. Some people said that he took a group of eminent Buddhist monks out of the city late at night, and disappeared suddenly while walking in the plains.
The sudden disappearance of the backbone made everyone in the city curious, but Monk Sande, who was trying to save the overall situation, didn't say a word about the whereabouts of the host, and all the people from all walks of life could only send more disciples to search, and the hustle and bustle in the city was extinguished for a while.
Then, the one-of-a-kind monk Sande disappeared with his core disciples in Room 36 of South Shaolin, and Master Ji Po also hurried north by boat.In this way, counting Hong Xiguan who took the initiative to bid farewell to Yan Yongchun, the four masters of Southern Shaolin can be sure that there is no one left at this time, and then the Southern Shaolin disciples in Guangzhou City scattered and left, making the situation even more unpredictable.
Regarding this matter, some people say that Nan Shaolin was worried about the strength of the Wudang faction and chose to avoid it, and some people said that Nan Shaolin deliberately avoided Luo's old hero's golden basin washing banquet out of morality. There are different opinions and no consensus. , No one knows what Nan Shaolin is thinking.
What surprised Jiang Wen was that the rumors spread by the martial arts people in Guangzhou clearly put the old hero Luo and the Wudang faction, the Taishan Beidou of the martial arts, on the same level of suppressing black and white.But how can the lonely seniors of the Jianghu compare with the Wudang sect, which has produced a large number of masters?
It's a pity that Yan Yongchun has just arrived here, and he hasn't found out the origin of this old hero Luo, and he doesn't know why he is so admired by others, and he still can't tell why. During the bickering just now, they were still angry and refused to speak.
"It seems that I really have to go through this golden basin handwashing banquet."
Jiang Wen touched the invitation card hidden in his arms, and decided not to complicate simple things, so he decided to see Luo Yuantong, who was rumored to be able to control the black and white in Guangzhou City.
"Jiang Daochang, you should tell us after asking for so long, what happened in the village just now?"
Seeing the two talking for a long time, Yuan Ziyi couldn't help asking questions, talking about the things he had just brought up lightly.
"Hei Hao, how can I not recognize it? That's the ghoul you saw just now, and it's hard for Miss Yan that you can survive until now."
When Jiang Wen looked at Haitian with a strange expression, Gaozu held the Snake-Slaying White Jade Sword tightly in his hand, his eyes were shining brightly, but he didn't even dare to shift his gaze. Yuan Ziyi also stared at Jiang Wen, waiting for his more detailed explanation. introduce.
After a long time, Jiang Wen Canglang retracted his sword into its sheath with a sound, and let out a deep breath of foul air.
""Liezi" says that there is Guixu at the bottom of the South China Sea, and there are five mountains floating between the Guixu. Know better and name it, Yi Jian hear it and aspire to it.”
"Can't understand."
Seeing Yuan Ziyi speaking honestly, Jiang Wencai sighed again and continued to explain.
"You said, how could human beings know these things? Didn't the ancient Dayu walk there and see them with his own eyes? Boyi heard about them and named them, and Yijian heard about these stories and wrote them down. Only by passing it down from generation to generation can we know the one-tenth of the true appearance of these existences..."
Is there anyone in the world who is born with knowledge?
Even a sage descended from heaven has to get to know the world step by step. Jiang Wen, who was once ignorant of the Ming and Qing dynasties, slowly uncovered a shocking corner of the real world under the guidance of certain opportunities.
And the existence of blackness is the beginning of Jiang Wen's exploration of the existence of Yi Xi. When something unknown in the history books appears in Jiang Wen's persistent exploration and pursuit, even a scale and a half claw exposed in the deep sea can make him Waking up in a dream in the middle of the night.
"Girls, what I'm going to say next may be a bit shocking. I should have guessed that there is something eyeing you on Wuyi Mountain. It's always good to prepare early."
Jiang Wen looked at the sea and sky with his back to them, and said quietly after a long time, "Since you have witnessed the blackness now, these things may be like entangled me in the future, encountering you constantly in the mountains and rivers, chasing and biting you. behind you."
Jiang Wen's expression didn't change at all, but Yan Yongchun and Yuan Ziyi suddenly noticed a depressing and dull atmosphere, as if a book store that had been dusty for thousands of years was reopened, and the majesty of knowledge and the obscurity of dust rushed to their faces, turning into A billowing torrent.
"How can I describe this feeling..."
"If you are still children, you probably fell asleep peacefully, and suddenly opened your eyes and saw a hazy mass of gas 'sitting' beside the bed, like the gloomy Tsing Yi on the stage, waiting for your terrified cries. "
"So are you all ready to know the knowledge that ordinary people shouldn't even hear..."
…………
Wuyishan Zhiyang has many bookstores since the Tang Dynasty, and the engraved book industry in Song, Yuan, and Ming Dynasties was even more prosperous. Therefore, Yuan Huazi has accumulated countless rare books in the Taoist temple, and in the end they are all cheaper than Jiang Wen, who lives in the temple and is bored.
I just mentioned the allusion of "Yi Jian Zhi Zhi", Jiang Wen's favorite is the gossip of these fox demons and ghouls, among them Hong Mai of the Song Dynasty wrote several volumes of "Yi Jian Zhi Zhi", which are full of grotesque ghosts Yuan Haowen of the Jin Dynasty continued to record in this name, and "Xu Yi Jian Zhi" was born later, and people from all dynasties collected it into volumes.
Just like chasing serials, Jiang Wen was bored reading Yi Jianzhi's series of anthologies, and the first time Jiang Wen saw Heihao's records was in a certain book of Yi Jianzhi's continuation, which was very popular in the market. In the Bishan Jingshe edition of "Huhai News Yijian Continued Chronicle".
This book does not title the author's surname, but follows the tone of "Yi Jian Zhi". It may be a continuation work by someone in the Yuan Dynasty, and there is a strange thing written on it.
"Great view room, see gradually daylight. After the first year of Zhenghe, great works, every time people speak, they will come out. First, if the sound of houses being destroyed, its shape is more than ten feet long, like a tortoise, with golden eyes, and it moves with sound. The black air is engulfed in it, it's not too big, and wherever the air reaches, it's raining everywhere, and even weapons can't be used."
This story is very short, mixed with warnings and retributions in the book, gods and monsters, and strange dreams and omens, it is not eye-catching. It is about the rumors of black air in the palace during Huizong's period, and it is more like a story from a long time ago. It seems that the rumors of the forbidden chamber are just fabricated by the lonely women in the deep palace and the eunuchs with dark minds to distract the boring stories.
However, this matter is not an isolated case. As Jiang Wen flipped through the book one after another, he soon found more real bodies with similar strange traces between the lines.
The official history "Song History Five Elements Records" records that in the last years of Song Shenzong's Yuanfeng, black spots appeared on the eaves of the emperor's bedroom. , as if some kind of omen, Song Zhezong also passed away.
Judging from the records of the Song Dynasty, this kind of existence called Heihao appeared and disappeared in the Song Palace like this, and it occupied for 40 years, and it did not completely disappear until the end of Xuanhe.And it happened to be the Song Huizong period when he was accustomed to black and white.
This piece of information I saw later invisibly confirmed a strange thing in the palace secrets, which made Jiang Wen a little confused, and it attracted his attention unconsciously, and there was a kind of intuition that belonged to warriors guiding and urging Let him continue to explore.
In this way, Jiang Wen, relying on the clues he noticed in the panic, started a series of chasing after him, and searched for the clues behind the world day and night from that day on.
Sure enough, he soon discovered that during the period when black lumps appeared in the imperial palace of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was also an incident in Luoyang City, three hundred miles away from the capital Bianjing, in which a child was cut and killed by a black foreign object.
"Song History" records that during the spring and summer of the second year of Xuanhe Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, there was something black in Luoyang that looked like a human being, without a face, and often went in and out of other people's homes to devour children.At this time, Luoyang city was in a state of panic. Although it was the scorching heat at that time, every household dared not open their doors to ventilate, for fear that something might sneak in.
The documents are intermittent, and the shadow of the black monster has shrouded Luoyang for five years. Until the seventh year of Xuanhe, young children were still killed by the unknown black monster, and a very shocking record was left.
[In the seventh year of Xuanhe, there was a black beast in Xiluo City, which came out at night and hid in daytime.A man was sitting under the eaves at night, just as he saw a beast entering his house, he swung his stick and beat it hard, and fell down when the sound was silenced. He took a candle and looked at it. It was a young girl lying dead on the ground, and the situation was different.Next year, Luoyang was captured by Jinlu. 】
From opening the door to seeing the black beast, to beating the servant with a stick, and then to the death of the young girl lying on the ground, this series of actions are described in such a delicate and coherent manner that Jiang Wen even suspects that the author came from the murder case of the Luoyang Yamen. extracted directly.
The oldest and strongest emotion of human beings is fear, and the oldest and strongest fear is the fear of the unknown. This kind of fear travels through the vast river of time in a boat made of words, and slowly comes to Jiang Wen in front of.
In a daze, Jiang Wen could even see the commoner sitting under the eaves to enjoy the shade on a certain summer day thousands of years ago.
He suddenly heard the clamor outside the house that some kind of "monster" was approaching. At this moment, the ordinary and peaceful life in his eyes suddenly revealed a trace of falsehood, as if he was blinded by self-deception, and a kind of restlessness made him restless.
The cane was right at his feet. He never expected that there would be such a day when some unknown force would come out of the legends and actually appear beside him, with only a wall separating him.
The story of devouring life was sworn in the market, which caused his breathing and heartbeat to become disordered, and the clarity in his eyes finally shattered like bubbles, evaporating in the breath of jealousy.
At that moment, his fear was boiling like magma, and then it would reach its peak in an instant, relying on his trembling pupils to capture every suspicious place, and finally he held the cold walking stick, walked into the room like a walking dead, Behind the little daughter playing innocently...
Jiang Wen suspected that the thing that this commoner bravely fought against the black beast with his stick to kill was originally his daughter playing at home. All the causes came from his sudden fear and hallucinations, all from the strange The grotesque influence of blackness!
He gradually discovered that the appearance of black spots is often accompanied by major natural and man-made disasters. Therefore, in an era that is particularly sensitive to "visions", such a phenomenon can easily attract the attention of observers, and then enter it into local chapters, notes, and local chronicles. And the almanac, the influence has been continuously expanded, and it has also left clues for Jiang Wen.
So his attention was once again focused on a few eras that believed in the prophecy of fate. One of the annotations on the word "眚" in "Shuowen Jiezi" is "eye disease produces nebula", that is, there is a foreign body in the eye, so that you can't see clearly, but the blindness is not limited to the eyes.
This explanation is also applicable to the "眚" of Hei眚. After all, no one has been able to see the exact face of Hei眚 for 2000 years, but the existence of Hei眚 in historical records is clearly visible, and it is very likely that it has changed once. the direction of history.
For example, during the Xianzong period of the former Ming Dynasty, black spots not only appeared, but also became a political event that shocked the court.
On July 12th, the 1476th year of Chenghua ([-]), demons and ghosts began to make disturbances in the capital, causing everyone to feel insecure and sleepless at night.
In the early morning of that day, there were black shadows covering the sky and covering the sky, and then there was a sudden sound of armor clashing in the ranks of Dongban civil servants. There was an instant chaos in the Huagai Hall!
You must know that hiding armor privately has been a capital offense since ancient times, and in the civil service ranks of the early dynasty, there was no such thing as wearing armor inside. Zong pretended to calmly stop the officials, and waited until the black spots disappeared, but in fact, he was already terrified in his heart. If it wasn't for the eunuch Huai En's support, he would hardly be able to stand up!
The dark incident in the 12th year of Chenghua caused the entire capital to fall into chaos. The strange shadows made people in the capital panic from top to bottom, and the terrified residents of the capital fled in all directions, and even some names and taboos were spread and enshrined. See the recorded gods.
Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty was worried about this matter, so he ordered Wang Zhi, the eunuch in the palace, to thoroughly investigate the black and white incident.
Wang Zhi discovered that Li Zilong, a Taoist priest in the palace, would often go to Longevity Mountain and other nearby areas to check, so he concluded that Li Zilong might want to assassinate the emperor.He "lived up" to the emperor's high hopes, and found out the "conspiracy" of Jianghu alchemist Li Zilong colluding with the palace eunuch Wei She, and secretly entered the palace to manipulate the underworld, and then executed the two of them.
Later, Ming Xianzong, who lacked a sense of security, had nightmares every night, always feeling that there was something dark and dark around the palace, so he decided to continue to support the eunuchs in the investigation, and the scope of the investigation was expanded again and again, from the initial supernatural phenomenon to Later, all suspicious signs among the courtiers and the people, even trivial matters such as fights and scolding, and fighting over chickens and dogs, were included in the investigation.
In the following year, at the beginning of the 13th year of Chenghua, Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty simply used these eunuchs as his team to set up a new spy agency outside Dongchang and Jinyiwei to spy on the privacy of his subjects.This organization violated the law, set up large prisons repeatedly, and countless important officials of the imperial court were framed by Luo Zhi, and the court system was chaotic. This is the notorious "Xichang" in history.Unknowingly, this black monster has already affected the course of Chinese history.
Jiang Wen, who was in a cold sweat after finding the clues, continued to search. He took a break from the simple ghost stories and continued to pay attention to political events. Only then did he focus on the hat demon incident in the second year of Song Zhenzong Tianxi.
The frequent occurrence of monsters earlier than Huizong's time, and the clamor of that night decades ago, the seeds of collective fear seem to have been deeply rooted in the hearts of thousands of people in Bianliang City from this day.
And from the day when the crazy mountain and the terrifying sea appeared in the world, the helpless behavior of the common people in the city sitting in a circle, called Noise Dashu, became the last pale and powerless struggle of people in the face of fear, not to mention the recruitment from the six doors, because The 120 martial artists from various sects who died tragically in this incident, how did they sink into the frantic pursuit of despair and fear that night...
But Jiang Wen continued to trace back, and unknowingly found many suspicious descriptions, which also faintly connected the matter with the black hole. Jiang Wen couldn't help but continue to think, such a bizarre and strange thing could not have appeared without warning. Appearing, it is even more impossible to pass on to the world without a trace.
The research of things is always from the concrete to the abstract. Jiang Wen also continues to transcend the carrier of the times itself, and devotes energy to some conceptual research. He thinks that perhaps by reading more historical books, he can get the clues of the definition of black and white , to find the root of the black spots.
The thank-you book is on the same track as the text car. If it is said that the most stable and orderly evidence that records all the information, it may be the obvious change in people's understanding of the word "眚" in the sea of Chinese dictionaries.
Jiang Wen found that the word "眚" first appeared in the pre-Qin period, and "Chunqiu Zuo Zhuan Zhengyi" recorded: "It is not the sun and the moon that are not drums (the 25th year of Duke Zhuang of Lu, 669 BC)".This means that drums cannot be played under normal circumstances unless special astronomical phenomena such as "solar eclipse" occur.Here, 眚 seems to be just an abnormal astronomical phenomenon. When Wu Guodu pre-edited and annotated the ancient book, he also noted it below, "眚 is like a disaster, and the moon invades the sun to cause 眚".
But when the Five Elements experts in the Han Dynasty explained the disasters caused by the five elements in ancient times, they clearly mentioned the "green shackles" born from the "wood qi", the "white shackles" born from the "metal qi", and the "earth qi" born from the "earth qi". The "yellow pimple" born from "qi", the "red pimple" born from the "fire qi", and the "black pimple" born from the "water qi".
However, in the specific description, "Han Shu Wu Xing Zhi" only records: "Jue Punishment is always cold, Jue is extremely poor, and sometimes there are black conundrums and black auspiciousness". It was not until the Southern and Northern Dynasties that there were clear records of "white shackles", "green shackles", "yellow shackles" and "red shackles". They are all strange misty air masses similar to black shackles.
It is obvious that the birth of the black hole must have been different, and the sayings of the Five Elements in the Han Dynasty are likely to be mixed with the processing of the Wei and Jin people who love antiques and counterfeiting.
At this time, judging from the clues of time, Jiang Wen basically determined the earliest appearance time of the black concubine between the two Han Dynasties - because it was clearly recorded in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it may be that the historian made the "concubine" for the first time based on his hatred of court obscenity. Appearing as the incarnation of a kind of resentment, this time also happens to be an era that believes in destiny prophecy.
This weird timeline made Jiang Wen suspect that the birth of Hei Jie may not be as long as its kind. The "Hanshu" was finally written by Ban Gu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the time was fixed in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Therefore, the birth time of Hei Jie It is very likely that it should be locked in the era from the end of the Western Han Dynasty to the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
At least Liu Yu's memorials during the period of Emperor Huanling of the Eastern Han Dynasty had naturally used the word "Yaohu" without worrying that the emperor would not understand it.At that time, Liu Yu, who was in a high-ranking position and was outstanding in virtue and talent, wrote a memorial to Emperor Huan, in which he wrote: "And Changshi and Huangmen (all eunuchs) are also widely married. The air of resentment has become a demon calamity."
At this time, the record corresponding to the black scorpion is the most clear and verifiable one in the Han Dynasty history book "East View of Han Ji". In the court, it looks like a raised car cover, with five colors, a head, a body length of more than ten feet, and a shape like a dragon."
It stands to reason that between the Han Dynasty where there are many prophecies, wefts and auspiciousness, the stories similar to the black ones are not very outstanding. After all, the theory of the interaction between heaven and man is prevalent in the world, and all evils and auspiciousness can be attributed to the fault of the emperor, so this theory does not exist. Especially guilty of taboo suspicion.
The paradox lies in one detail.
That was after the death of Emperor Huan, Emperor Ling came to the throne, and the generals Dou Wu and Liu Yu jointly planned to kill the eunuchs, but the action failed and the two were killed.But in the face of the defeat of his political opponents back then, the eunuch was not in a hurry to defend himself, but insisted that what he said and studied were all "false rumors", and inexplicably demanded that Liu Yu's works be burned without leaving a trace in the world.
What Jiang Wen couldn't ignore was that after experiencing the Immortal Ascension Banquet in Mount Wuyi and knowing the whole story of the strange event of the Queen Mother of Xingxi during the Yuanshou period of Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty, Jiang Wen could no longer restrain himself from blackmailing the Yi blamers. The opportunity for the appearance of the scorpion is related to a certain emperor who has transformed into an embryo in a jade egg, but his eyebrows and eyelashes are especially able to move.
There are too many similarities, too many coincidences.
Like the Hat Demon and Heizhen incidents, the Xingxi Queen Mother Chou incident during the Han Ai period had the same drumming and relative panic, the same all-night gathering, holding candles for a long time, and the same self-surprise and chaos in the city. There are too many clues pointing to the same place, the only difference is the fanaticism of "game singing and dancing" at the beginning, and then only the panic of "holding each other's hands".
It's like removing the chaff and preserving the chaff, people have stripped away all fantasies, prayers, prayers, and burnt offerings, leaving only the naked and eternal malice towards an unchanging rock-like existence, completely and completely fear of...
Jiang Wen even vaguely guessed that perhaps the reason Shichangshi wanted to destroy Liu Yu's works with trepidation was because in front of the existence of Hei Jie, they had already known some original books from the obscure classics secretly circulated in the treasury of the Han Palace. They shouldn't know the things, and the bamboo slips that recorded these things at that time probably came from the engravings of the trembling sword-holding hands and panic-stricken hearts of the eunuchs in Emperor Ai's palace of the Han Dynasty!
Looking through the historical materials in this way, Jiang Wen suddenly discovered that from the Han Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the shadow of darkness seems to have shrouded the nearly 2000-year history of Chinese civilization.From Hebei in the north, Guangdong in the south, down to the people, and up to the court, countless people have died strangely because of encountering this mysterious air mass, and countless people have personally experienced the horrifying fear of Ming Xianzong.
"Whether you believe it or not, hiding in the ancient temple in the South China Sea is indeed the best way for the villagers to fight against fear. It is also an effective way to resolve the fear in the villagers' hearts after seven days of mortuary burial."
Jiang Wen didn't turn his head, he didn't care about the expressions of the two girls now.It's okay to talk to himself today, just like he didn't intend to tell Yan Yongchun and Yuan Ziyi that existences like Hei Hao are already the most harmless of all the strange things.
"I think the person who placed the gods to guard the house is very clear. The villagers are not afraid of ghosts and stiffs, but they can't get past this barrier in their hearts. Only the corpse lying quietly in the coffin can tell them that everything is over. , and none of the dead will come back for revenge."
"So we can go back, tell them that the grievances are gone, tell them that the ghoul has disappeared, and tell them that whether it is Zhangqiugang Village or Fuxu Village, the things that we wanted to escape and forget before can be completely eliminated. Put it down."
(End of this chapter)
As soon as Yan Yongchun and Yuan Ziyi woke up from their bewilderment, they rushed outside without hesitation.
They only saw a mass of dark things rushing towards the sky, making a loud noise in the air, like thousands of mansions collapsing together, thousands of horses roaring and scattering dust, and the sparks flickered and completely covered the moonlit night.
At this time, Jiang Wen was squatting under the strange tree that had been occupied by foreign objects just now, and found an ancient inscription there.The stele was deliberately smashed upside down, and only a few relatively complete stone bodies were still engraved with words, and the word "Fuxu" can still be seen after patchwork.
"Master Jiang, are you alright?"
Yan Wing Chun stepped forward and asked with concern.
"It's okay, I'm used to this level of disturbance."
Jiang Wen turned around and glanced at her, raised the gravel in his hands and didn't intend to get up, and replied absent-mindedly, "Come and see the good things I found—it seems that Zhangqiugang Village wasn't originally called by this name. "
Yuan Ziyi looked at him angrily: "What time is it, why are you looking at stones?"
Only then did Jiang Wen stand up, and the three of them stood in front of the cottage, letting the cold wind blow the silence and disturb the clothes, and stared at the sky until the clear wind and bright moon reappeared, foggy The glitchy moonlight returned to its original appearance, and there was a strange and unpredictable atmosphere in front of the three of them.
"You...do you recognize what was just now?"
Yuan Ziyi was a little terrified, so he cast his eyes for help and inquiry on Jiang Wen for the first time, and then he guessed the deep meaning of Jiang Wen's calm expression.
After three or two days of getting along, she has been able to judge the meaning of Jiang Wen's actions - the more relaxed and natural his expression is, the more serious the matter is, but if he behaves serious, he will often make some absurd things in the next moment act.
"You two girls, the origin of the thing in front of me is unknown, but the origin has already been found in historical records. Even if I searched for it long ago, I can't make it clear right now."
Jiang Wen looked around at the cold wind and rain, the black coffin in the cold forest, and said slowly, "Why don't we slowly move to the riverside, and I will slowly explain the origin of this thing."
Zhangqiugang Village is only half a mile away from Jiangwan Shuikou. The three of them walked along the mountain road through the wild forest, and came to a place with a particularly open sea and sky. Indeterminate—the floating corpse on the seabed, the black spot in the village, the two events are only a moment apart, but it seems like a world away.
Looking back at the dim lights in the village, Jiang Wen didn't answer this question directly, instead he talked about other things.
"Miss Yan, I heard that Hong Xiguan came to see you before he left. Did he mention where he was going?"
"So you are still looking for the whereabouts of Nan Shaolin."
Yuan Ziyi made a gesture of sudden realization, and then turned to look at Yan Yongchun, "Sister Yan, he has asked me about this over and over again these days, and I am almost annoyed to death."
Jiang Wenyi said sternly: "I obviously asked the question three times, but you answered differently every time. Could it be that my incomprehension is to blame?"
Yuan Ziyi said dissatisfiedly: "I obviously said the same thing, you must have misheard yourself!"
Jiang Wen squinted at her, and didn't know why Yuan Ziyi had such confidence. She guessed for a while that Nan Shaolin had gone to Guangxi, and then said that Nan Shaolin went from the sea by boat. What is the Buddhist world map, are you going to go around Nanzhan Buzhou to Guangxi?
Seeing that the two were still arguing, Yan Yongchun sighed and smiled slightly.
With the arrival of the two of them, she was relieved of the huge mental pressure she had experienced in the past few days, and only at this time could Yan Yongchun reveal his true emotions with peace of mind.
"Master Jiang, Daxia Hong and Miss Hongdou did come to see me before they left. They said that Guangzhou City should not stay for a long time, and advised me to leave as soon as possible."
After Jiang Wen heard it, he didn't think so.Today's whole world is not a land of right and wrong, if they dare not even dare to swim in such muddy water, Nan Shaolin's vitality will probably perish.
From Yan Yongchun's mouth, the most important information Jiang Wen wanted to know was the whereabouts of the remaining top masters of Southern Shaolin—compared with the good and bad disciples and disciples, these talents can be regarded as the golden bodies of Southern Shaolin.
Fortunately, Yan Yongchun, who was concentrating on walking the rivers and lakes, paid more attention to many news than the absent-minded Yuan Ziyi, and she immediately told Jiang Wen some very important information.
One month before Jiang Wen's arrival, the Southern Shaolin remnant party had been fighting fiercely with the Qing court's martial arts forces in this Guangzhou city. They relied on their Zen connections to occupy the left and right sides of Guangxiao Temple, and the fight was turbulent. Due to the situation, the imperial court was requested to send experts from the inner circle to help, and then various experts from the Wudang sect were brought in.
The fierce fighting developed to a climax, so that everyone in the city knew that there were four masters in Southern Shaolin.
The number one among the masters is undoubtedly the abbot Zhishan Zen Master, who is praised by everyone for his boxing and Dharma; the second is Master Jipo, who is crazy and powerful in martial arts; , It is said that people from north to south kill like hemp, and there is only one dead end to be an enemy of him.
But the problem really came from these four people.
Zen master Zhishan was seriously injured in the fire in the South Shaolin Temple, and there were few outsiders in retreat for recuperation.But just a few weeks ago, Zen Master Zhishan, the abbot of Nan Shaolin who had occasionally shown up, suddenly disappeared completely. Some people said that he took a group of eminent Buddhist monks out of the city late at night, and disappeared suddenly while walking in the plains.
The sudden disappearance of the backbone made everyone in the city curious, but Monk Sande, who was trying to save the overall situation, didn't say a word about the whereabouts of the host, and all the people from all walks of life could only send more disciples to search, and the hustle and bustle in the city was extinguished for a while.
Then, the one-of-a-kind monk Sande disappeared with his core disciples in Room 36 of South Shaolin, and Master Ji Po also hurried north by boat.In this way, counting Hong Xiguan who took the initiative to bid farewell to Yan Yongchun, the four masters of Southern Shaolin can be sure that there is no one left at this time, and then the Southern Shaolin disciples in Guangzhou City scattered and left, making the situation even more unpredictable.
Regarding this matter, some people say that Nan Shaolin was worried about the strength of the Wudang faction and chose to avoid it, and some people said that Nan Shaolin deliberately avoided Luo's old hero's golden basin washing banquet out of morality. There are different opinions and no consensus. , No one knows what Nan Shaolin is thinking.
What surprised Jiang Wen was that the rumors spread by the martial arts people in Guangzhou clearly put the old hero Luo and the Wudang faction, the Taishan Beidou of the martial arts, on the same level of suppressing black and white.But how can the lonely seniors of the Jianghu compare with the Wudang sect, which has produced a large number of masters?
It's a pity that Yan Yongchun has just arrived here, and he hasn't found out the origin of this old hero Luo, and he doesn't know why he is so admired by others, and he still can't tell why. During the bickering just now, they were still angry and refused to speak.
"It seems that I really have to go through this golden basin handwashing banquet."
Jiang Wen touched the invitation card hidden in his arms, and decided not to complicate simple things, so he decided to see Luo Yuantong, who was rumored to be able to control the black and white in Guangzhou City.
"Jiang Daochang, you should tell us after asking for so long, what happened in the village just now?"
Seeing the two talking for a long time, Yuan Ziyi couldn't help asking questions, talking about the things he had just brought up lightly.
"Hei Hao, how can I not recognize it? That's the ghoul you saw just now, and it's hard for Miss Yan that you can survive until now."
When Jiang Wen looked at Haitian with a strange expression, Gaozu held the Snake-Slaying White Jade Sword tightly in his hand, his eyes were shining brightly, but he didn't even dare to shift his gaze. Yuan Ziyi also stared at Jiang Wen, waiting for his more detailed explanation. introduce.
After a long time, Jiang Wen Canglang retracted his sword into its sheath with a sound, and let out a deep breath of foul air.
""Liezi" says that there is Guixu at the bottom of the South China Sea, and there are five mountains floating between the Guixu. Know better and name it, Yi Jian hear it and aspire to it.”
"Can't understand."
Seeing Yuan Ziyi speaking honestly, Jiang Wencai sighed again and continued to explain.
"You said, how could human beings know these things? Didn't the ancient Dayu walk there and see them with his own eyes? Boyi heard about them and named them, and Yijian heard about these stories and wrote them down. Only by passing it down from generation to generation can we know the one-tenth of the true appearance of these existences..."
Is there anyone in the world who is born with knowledge?
Even a sage descended from heaven has to get to know the world step by step. Jiang Wen, who was once ignorant of the Ming and Qing dynasties, slowly uncovered a shocking corner of the real world under the guidance of certain opportunities.
And the existence of blackness is the beginning of Jiang Wen's exploration of the existence of Yi Xi. When something unknown in the history books appears in Jiang Wen's persistent exploration and pursuit, even a scale and a half claw exposed in the deep sea can make him Waking up in a dream in the middle of the night.
"Girls, what I'm going to say next may be a bit shocking. I should have guessed that there is something eyeing you on Wuyi Mountain. It's always good to prepare early."
Jiang Wen looked at the sea and sky with his back to them, and said quietly after a long time, "Since you have witnessed the blackness now, these things may be like entangled me in the future, encountering you constantly in the mountains and rivers, chasing and biting you. behind you."
Jiang Wen's expression didn't change at all, but Yan Yongchun and Yuan Ziyi suddenly noticed a depressing and dull atmosphere, as if a book store that had been dusty for thousands of years was reopened, and the majesty of knowledge and the obscurity of dust rushed to their faces, turning into A billowing torrent.
"How can I describe this feeling..."
"If you are still children, you probably fell asleep peacefully, and suddenly opened your eyes and saw a hazy mass of gas 'sitting' beside the bed, like the gloomy Tsing Yi on the stage, waiting for your terrified cries. "
"So are you all ready to know the knowledge that ordinary people shouldn't even hear..."
…………
Wuyishan Zhiyang has many bookstores since the Tang Dynasty, and the engraved book industry in Song, Yuan, and Ming Dynasties was even more prosperous. Therefore, Yuan Huazi has accumulated countless rare books in the Taoist temple, and in the end they are all cheaper than Jiang Wen, who lives in the temple and is bored.
I just mentioned the allusion of "Yi Jian Zhi Zhi", Jiang Wen's favorite is the gossip of these fox demons and ghouls, among them Hong Mai of the Song Dynasty wrote several volumes of "Yi Jian Zhi Zhi", which are full of grotesque ghosts Yuan Haowen of the Jin Dynasty continued to record in this name, and "Xu Yi Jian Zhi" was born later, and people from all dynasties collected it into volumes.
Just like chasing serials, Jiang Wen was bored reading Yi Jianzhi's series of anthologies, and the first time Jiang Wen saw Heihao's records was in a certain book of Yi Jianzhi's continuation, which was very popular in the market. In the Bishan Jingshe edition of "Huhai News Yijian Continued Chronicle".
This book does not title the author's surname, but follows the tone of "Yi Jian Zhi". It may be a continuation work by someone in the Yuan Dynasty, and there is a strange thing written on it.
"Great view room, see gradually daylight. After the first year of Zhenghe, great works, every time people speak, they will come out. First, if the sound of houses being destroyed, its shape is more than ten feet long, like a tortoise, with golden eyes, and it moves with sound. The black air is engulfed in it, it's not too big, and wherever the air reaches, it's raining everywhere, and even weapons can't be used."
This story is very short, mixed with warnings and retributions in the book, gods and monsters, and strange dreams and omens, it is not eye-catching. It is about the rumors of black air in the palace during Huizong's period, and it is more like a story from a long time ago. It seems that the rumors of the forbidden chamber are just fabricated by the lonely women in the deep palace and the eunuchs with dark minds to distract the boring stories.
However, this matter is not an isolated case. As Jiang Wen flipped through the book one after another, he soon found more real bodies with similar strange traces between the lines.
The official history "Song History Five Elements Records" records that in the last years of Song Shenzong's Yuanfeng, black spots appeared on the eaves of the emperor's bedroom. , as if some kind of omen, Song Zhezong also passed away.
Judging from the records of the Song Dynasty, this kind of existence called Heihao appeared and disappeared in the Song Palace like this, and it occupied for 40 years, and it did not completely disappear until the end of Xuanhe.And it happened to be the Song Huizong period when he was accustomed to black and white.
This piece of information I saw later invisibly confirmed a strange thing in the palace secrets, which made Jiang Wen a little confused, and it attracted his attention unconsciously, and there was a kind of intuition that belonged to warriors guiding and urging Let him continue to explore.
In this way, Jiang Wen, relying on the clues he noticed in the panic, started a series of chasing after him, and searched for the clues behind the world day and night from that day on.
Sure enough, he soon discovered that during the period when black lumps appeared in the imperial palace of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was also an incident in Luoyang City, three hundred miles away from the capital Bianjing, in which a child was cut and killed by a black foreign object.
"Song History" records that during the spring and summer of the second year of Xuanhe Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, there was something black in Luoyang that looked like a human being, without a face, and often went in and out of other people's homes to devour children.At this time, Luoyang city was in a state of panic. Although it was the scorching heat at that time, every household dared not open their doors to ventilate, for fear that something might sneak in.
The documents are intermittent, and the shadow of the black monster has shrouded Luoyang for five years. Until the seventh year of Xuanhe, young children were still killed by the unknown black monster, and a very shocking record was left.
[In the seventh year of Xuanhe, there was a black beast in Xiluo City, which came out at night and hid in daytime.A man was sitting under the eaves at night, just as he saw a beast entering his house, he swung his stick and beat it hard, and fell down when the sound was silenced. He took a candle and looked at it. It was a young girl lying dead on the ground, and the situation was different.Next year, Luoyang was captured by Jinlu. 】
From opening the door to seeing the black beast, to beating the servant with a stick, and then to the death of the young girl lying on the ground, this series of actions are described in such a delicate and coherent manner that Jiang Wen even suspects that the author came from the murder case of the Luoyang Yamen. extracted directly.
The oldest and strongest emotion of human beings is fear, and the oldest and strongest fear is the fear of the unknown. This kind of fear travels through the vast river of time in a boat made of words, and slowly comes to Jiang Wen in front of.
In a daze, Jiang Wen could even see the commoner sitting under the eaves to enjoy the shade on a certain summer day thousands of years ago.
He suddenly heard the clamor outside the house that some kind of "monster" was approaching. At this moment, the ordinary and peaceful life in his eyes suddenly revealed a trace of falsehood, as if he was blinded by self-deception, and a kind of restlessness made him restless.
The cane was right at his feet. He never expected that there would be such a day when some unknown force would come out of the legends and actually appear beside him, with only a wall separating him.
The story of devouring life was sworn in the market, which caused his breathing and heartbeat to become disordered, and the clarity in his eyes finally shattered like bubbles, evaporating in the breath of jealousy.
At that moment, his fear was boiling like magma, and then it would reach its peak in an instant, relying on his trembling pupils to capture every suspicious place, and finally he held the cold walking stick, walked into the room like a walking dead, Behind the little daughter playing innocently...
Jiang Wen suspected that the thing that this commoner bravely fought against the black beast with his stick to kill was originally his daughter playing at home. All the causes came from his sudden fear and hallucinations, all from the strange The grotesque influence of blackness!
He gradually discovered that the appearance of black spots is often accompanied by major natural and man-made disasters. Therefore, in an era that is particularly sensitive to "visions", such a phenomenon can easily attract the attention of observers, and then enter it into local chapters, notes, and local chronicles. And the almanac, the influence has been continuously expanded, and it has also left clues for Jiang Wen.
So his attention was once again focused on a few eras that believed in the prophecy of fate. One of the annotations on the word "眚" in "Shuowen Jiezi" is "eye disease produces nebula", that is, there is a foreign body in the eye, so that you can't see clearly, but the blindness is not limited to the eyes.
This explanation is also applicable to the "眚" of Hei眚. After all, no one has been able to see the exact face of Hei眚 for 2000 years, but the existence of Hei眚 in historical records is clearly visible, and it is very likely that it has changed once. the direction of history.
For example, during the Xianzong period of the former Ming Dynasty, black spots not only appeared, but also became a political event that shocked the court.
On July 12th, the 1476th year of Chenghua ([-]), demons and ghosts began to make disturbances in the capital, causing everyone to feel insecure and sleepless at night.
In the early morning of that day, there were black shadows covering the sky and covering the sky, and then there was a sudden sound of armor clashing in the ranks of Dongban civil servants. There was an instant chaos in the Huagai Hall!
You must know that hiding armor privately has been a capital offense since ancient times, and in the civil service ranks of the early dynasty, there was no such thing as wearing armor inside. Zong pretended to calmly stop the officials, and waited until the black spots disappeared, but in fact, he was already terrified in his heart. If it wasn't for the eunuch Huai En's support, he would hardly be able to stand up!
The dark incident in the 12th year of Chenghua caused the entire capital to fall into chaos. The strange shadows made people in the capital panic from top to bottom, and the terrified residents of the capital fled in all directions, and even some names and taboos were spread and enshrined. See the recorded gods.
Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty was worried about this matter, so he ordered Wang Zhi, the eunuch in the palace, to thoroughly investigate the black and white incident.
Wang Zhi discovered that Li Zilong, a Taoist priest in the palace, would often go to Longevity Mountain and other nearby areas to check, so he concluded that Li Zilong might want to assassinate the emperor.He "lived up" to the emperor's high hopes, and found out the "conspiracy" of Jianghu alchemist Li Zilong colluding with the palace eunuch Wei She, and secretly entered the palace to manipulate the underworld, and then executed the two of them.
Later, Ming Xianzong, who lacked a sense of security, had nightmares every night, always feeling that there was something dark and dark around the palace, so he decided to continue to support the eunuchs in the investigation, and the scope of the investigation was expanded again and again, from the initial supernatural phenomenon to Later, all suspicious signs among the courtiers and the people, even trivial matters such as fights and scolding, and fighting over chickens and dogs, were included in the investigation.
In the following year, at the beginning of the 13th year of Chenghua, Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty simply used these eunuchs as his team to set up a new spy agency outside Dongchang and Jinyiwei to spy on the privacy of his subjects.This organization violated the law, set up large prisons repeatedly, and countless important officials of the imperial court were framed by Luo Zhi, and the court system was chaotic. This is the notorious "Xichang" in history.Unknowingly, this black monster has already affected the course of Chinese history.
Jiang Wen, who was in a cold sweat after finding the clues, continued to search. He took a break from the simple ghost stories and continued to pay attention to political events. Only then did he focus on the hat demon incident in the second year of Song Zhenzong Tianxi.
The frequent occurrence of monsters earlier than Huizong's time, and the clamor of that night decades ago, the seeds of collective fear seem to have been deeply rooted in the hearts of thousands of people in Bianliang City from this day.
And from the day when the crazy mountain and the terrifying sea appeared in the world, the helpless behavior of the common people in the city sitting in a circle, called Noise Dashu, became the last pale and powerless struggle of people in the face of fear, not to mention the recruitment from the six doors, because The 120 martial artists from various sects who died tragically in this incident, how did they sink into the frantic pursuit of despair and fear that night...
But Jiang Wen continued to trace back, and unknowingly found many suspicious descriptions, which also faintly connected the matter with the black hole. Jiang Wen couldn't help but continue to think, such a bizarre and strange thing could not have appeared without warning. Appearing, it is even more impossible to pass on to the world without a trace.
The research of things is always from the concrete to the abstract. Jiang Wen also continues to transcend the carrier of the times itself, and devotes energy to some conceptual research. He thinks that perhaps by reading more historical books, he can get the clues of the definition of black and white , to find the root of the black spots.
The thank-you book is on the same track as the text car. If it is said that the most stable and orderly evidence that records all the information, it may be the obvious change in people's understanding of the word "眚" in the sea of Chinese dictionaries.
Jiang Wen found that the word "眚" first appeared in the pre-Qin period, and "Chunqiu Zuo Zhuan Zhengyi" recorded: "It is not the sun and the moon that are not drums (the 25th year of Duke Zhuang of Lu, 669 BC)".This means that drums cannot be played under normal circumstances unless special astronomical phenomena such as "solar eclipse" occur.Here, 眚 seems to be just an abnormal astronomical phenomenon. When Wu Guodu pre-edited and annotated the ancient book, he also noted it below, "眚 is like a disaster, and the moon invades the sun to cause 眚".
But when the Five Elements experts in the Han Dynasty explained the disasters caused by the five elements in ancient times, they clearly mentioned the "green shackles" born from the "wood qi", the "white shackles" born from the "metal qi", and the "earth qi" born from the "earth qi". The "yellow pimple" born from "qi", the "red pimple" born from the "fire qi", and the "black pimple" born from the "water qi".
However, in the specific description, "Han Shu Wu Xing Zhi" only records: "Jue Punishment is always cold, Jue is extremely poor, and sometimes there are black conundrums and black auspiciousness". It was not until the Southern and Northern Dynasties that there were clear records of "white shackles", "green shackles", "yellow shackles" and "red shackles". They are all strange misty air masses similar to black shackles.
It is obvious that the birth of the black hole must have been different, and the sayings of the Five Elements in the Han Dynasty are likely to be mixed with the processing of the Wei and Jin people who love antiques and counterfeiting.
At this time, judging from the clues of time, Jiang Wen basically determined the earliest appearance time of the black concubine between the two Han Dynasties - because it was clearly recorded in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it may be that the historian made the "concubine" for the first time based on his hatred of court obscenity. Appearing as the incarnation of a kind of resentment, this time also happens to be an era that believes in destiny prophecy.
This weird timeline made Jiang Wen suspect that the birth of Hei Jie may not be as long as its kind. The "Hanshu" was finally written by Ban Gu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the time was fixed in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Therefore, the birth time of Hei Jie It is very likely that it should be locked in the era from the end of the Western Han Dynasty to the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
At least Liu Yu's memorials during the period of Emperor Huanling of the Eastern Han Dynasty had naturally used the word "Yaohu" without worrying that the emperor would not understand it.At that time, Liu Yu, who was in a high-ranking position and was outstanding in virtue and talent, wrote a memorial to Emperor Huan, in which he wrote: "And Changshi and Huangmen (all eunuchs) are also widely married. The air of resentment has become a demon calamity."
At this time, the record corresponding to the black scorpion is the most clear and verifiable one in the Han Dynasty history book "East View of Han Ji". In the court, it looks like a raised car cover, with five colors, a head, a body length of more than ten feet, and a shape like a dragon."
It stands to reason that between the Han Dynasty where there are many prophecies, wefts and auspiciousness, the stories similar to the black ones are not very outstanding. After all, the theory of the interaction between heaven and man is prevalent in the world, and all evils and auspiciousness can be attributed to the fault of the emperor, so this theory does not exist. Especially guilty of taboo suspicion.
The paradox lies in one detail.
That was after the death of Emperor Huan, Emperor Ling came to the throne, and the generals Dou Wu and Liu Yu jointly planned to kill the eunuchs, but the action failed and the two were killed.But in the face of the defeat of his political opponents back then, the eunuch was not in a hurry to defend himself, but insisted that what he said and studied were all "false rumors", and inexplicably demanded that Liu Yu's works be burned without leaving a trace in the world.
What Jiang Wen couldn't ignore was that after experiencing the Immortal Ascension Banquet in Mount Wuyi and knowing the whole story of the strange event of the Queen Mother of Xingxi during the Yuanshou period of Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty, Jiang Wen could no longer restrain himself from blackmailing the Yi blamers. The opportunity for the appearance of the scorpion is related to a certain emperor who has transformed into an embryo in a jade egg, but his eyebrows and eyelashes are especially able to move.
There are too many similarities, too many coincidences.
Like the Hat Demon and Heizhen incidents, the Xingxi Queen Mother Chou incident during the Han Ai period had the same drumming and relative panic, the same all-night gathering, holding candles for a long time, and the same self-surprise and chaos in the city. There are too many clues pointing to the same place, the only difference is the fanaticism of "game singing and dancing" at the beginning, and then only the panic of "holding each other's hands".
It's like removing the chaff and preserving the chaff, people have stripped away all fantasies, prayers, prayers, and burnt offerings, leaving only the naked and eternal malice towards an unchanging rock-like existence, completely and completely fear of...
Jiang Wen even vaguely guessed that perhaps the reason Shichangshi wanted to destroy Liu Yu's works with trepidation was because in front of the existence of Hei Jie, they had already known some original books from the obscure classics secretly circulated in the treasury of the Han Palace. They shouldn't know the things, and the bamboo slips that recorded these things at that time probably came from the engravings of the trembling sword-holding hands and panic-stricken hearts of the eunuchs in Emperor Ai's palace of the Han Dynasty!
Looking through the historical materials in this way, Jiang Wen suddenly discovered that from the Han Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the shadow of darkness seems to have shrouded the nearly 2000-year history of Chinese civilization.From Hebei in the north, Guangdong in the south, down to the people, and up to the court, countless people have died strangely because of encountering this mysterious air mass, and countless people have personally experienced the horrifying fear of Ming Xianzong.
"Whether you believe it or not, hiding in the ancient temple in the South China Sea is indeed the best way for the villagers to fight against fear. It is also an effective way to resolve the fear in the villagers' hearts after seven days of mortuary burial."
Jiang Wen didn't turn his head, he didn't care about the expressions of the two girls now.It's okay to talk to himself today, just like he didn't intend to tell Yan Yongchun and Yuan Ziyi that existences like Hei Hao are already the most harmless of all the strange things.
"I think the person who placed the gods to guard the house is very clear. The villagers are not afraid of ghosts and stiffs, but they can't get past this barrier in their hearts. Only the corpse lying quietly in the coffin can tell them that everything is over. , and none of the dead will come back for revenge."
"So we can go back, tell them that the grievances are gone, tell them that the ghoul has disappeared, and tell them that whether it is Zhangqiugang Village or Fuxu Village, the things that we wanted to escape and forget before can be completely eliminated. Put it down."
