Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 332 Chapter 331, Wahuang Palace

The sun is rising, the moon is leaving a shadow, the morning breeze is blowing, and birds are singing. The Taihang Mountains in winter are full of desolation and grandeur.

On the mountain road heading north from Shexian County, a group of cavalrymen rumbled past, leaving a cloud of dust dancing in the wind behind them. When the cavalrymen passed a place with cliff carvings, they stopped, then dispersed and looked around. When everyone gathered again, the captain of the team stood up on his horse and looked at the buildings on the mountain.

"I heard that this is the Empress Nuwa Palace. The stone carvings you see are more than 1300 years old. Moreover, this is the palace of our cultural ancestor Nuwa. Let's dismount and pay our respects!" After Li Yuexuan finished speaking, he dismounted and bowed deeply in the direction of the Empress Nuwa Palace.

When the other cavalrymen saw Li Yuexuan's appearance, they dismounted and stood behind him, bowing to the palace of Nuwa.

After everyone stood up, Hu Lanzhou asked, "Captain, is this the place where Nuwa created humans and repaired the sky?"

"Uh...you've got me stumped. I don't even know if it's this place. But you also know that Nuwa created humans and repaired the sky. You know a lot of things!" Li Yuexuan said.

"Hey, I heard these stories from the old folks when I was a kid. They said it was Nuwa..." Hu Lanzhou had a good memory and told the story of Nuwa creating humans on the spot. The soldiers listened attentively.

"Platoon leader, can you tell another story?" After Hu Lanzhou finished speaking, the soldiers felt it was not enough and started to urge Hu Lanzhou to tell another one.

"Well, our captain is well educated, why don't we let him talk about it?" Hu Lanzhou glanced at Li Yuexuan and then urged.

"Captain, come one, Captain, come one..." The soldiers started to make a noise.

"One is fine, but you have to patrol first to make sure the road ahead is clear and there are no bandits around!" Li Yuexuan said seriously.

"Yes, captain, let's go now!" The soldiers mounted their horses, patrolled again, and then gathered again.

Listening to the war horses snorting non-stop, Li Yuexuan smiled and said, "Have you heard of the Classic of Mountains and Seas? It is a book from the pre-Qin period. It contains a wealth of valuable information on geography, mythology, folklore, history of science, religion, ethnology, medicine and other disciplines. It has a very high research value."

"Stories like Jingwei filling the sea, Nuwa creating humans, and Kuafu chasing the sun all come from this book. So, we know about ancient ancestors like Huangdi, Yandi, Queen Mother of the West, Chiyou, Xingtian, Nuwa, Fuxi, and Dayu, and we know that we are all made of loess." "Later, there was Qu Yuan, a poet. His work was called Chuci, which also recorded some stories. Then, in the Western Han Dynasty, Liu An, King of Huainan, gathered a group of literati and wrote a book called Huainanzi, which also recorded some stories, such as Chang'e flying to the moon."

"And then? History continues, and our cultural heritage has been going on. It has not been interrupted by foreign invasions! The dangerous time was when the Five Barbarians invaded China and the Han people migrated south. The Miao descendants of the Han nationality were almost extinct, just a little bit away! At that time, people were not considered human beings, but were called two-legged sheep. Do you know what that means? They treated people like sheep and ate them..."

"Fortunately, we survived, our culture was not cut off, and it became more and more prosperous. We have Tang poetry, Song lyrics, Ming... Forget about the Ming Dynasty, our ancestors took up all the wisdom. However, during the Ming Dynasty, our navigation was the most advanced in the world, and our firearms were once the most advanced. However, the stubborn cultural shackles locked up our inventions and innovations!"

"Then the Qing Dynasty invaded and the Han people were massacred again! The Sikuquanshu deleted and modified a lot of our cultural essence. Fortunately, our roots are still there, and our culture has gradually assimilated some people's ideas."

"Then came this period. Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Xinhai Revolution completely overthrew the imperial system, which opened up a new path for our thinking. Of course, there was also the contribution of Mr. Lu Xun. His vernacular articles have indeed played an important role in the cultural heritage of thousands of years! He also wrote a book called "New Stories", which rewrote some stories. Let me tell you the story of Nuwa mending the sky."

After a while, the story was over, but Li Yuexuan coughed and continued: "Comrades, we have to thank our ancestors for leaving us these works and stories. I think the greatest and most valuable thing among them is not the articles themselves, but the unyielding and fighting spirit in them!"

"Nu Wa thought there were no humans on earth, so she made some in her image and divided the human relations between men and women. Gong Gong angrily crashed into Mount Buzhou, causing the sky to collapse. What should we do? Make up for it and catch a big turtle to prop it up! There are 10 suns in the sky, and people can't survive, so shoot down 9 of them and leave one to continue working! Of course, there is also Kua Fu. I want to compete with the sun to see who can run faster!"

"What do you mean there is no fire? We, Suiren, drilled wood to make fire! Without clothes, houses and food, naturally someone stood up! Without writing, people can only record events with knotted ropes? Then invent writing! Xingtian's head was chopped off, that won't work, we will use our breasts as eyes, open our belly buttons to make mouths, pick up weapons and continue fighting! Jingwei died in a shipwreck? Then let's turn into a bird, pick up stones and fill up the sea! What about the great flood? People can't survive, then we will dig through the mountains and let the flood flow back to the sea!"

"Comrades, we have never been a nation that accepts adversity! In our blood, we have the spirit of unyielding, resistance, and the courage to fight to the end with all enemies! Now, the Japanese devils have occupied half of China, slaughtering our compatriots everywhere, and humiliating our sisters... Our Chinese nation has once again reached the most dangerous time!"

"But what I want to say is, don't be afraid, just do it! Isn't it just picking up a gun and fighting the devils to the death? What's there to be afraid of? We are all two arms holding a head, and we are much taller than the devils, so what are we afraid of? We must dare to show our swords to the devils and let them know how powerful we are! For example, when you fought by the river yesterday, the cavalry passed by, and the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, but didn't the devils still die under our swords?"

"I remember that Captain Li Yunlong said something about showing the sword! No matter who is on the other side? As long as it is an enemy, then show the sword and fight to the death! Now that we have a chance, let's let Captain Li Yunlong explain it to us. I am not good at explaining it, haha..."
