Onmyoji's Secret

Chapter 74 Qiang and Shu
"Tsing Yi Ancient Qiang..."

Teacher Jia gave me a strange look, not understanding why I would ask such an uncommon question.However, he thought for a while, and replied: "The Qiang people are one of the oldest peoples in China. The Qiang and Han people have the same origin, and they are all descendants of the Yellow Emperor's tribe. Later, when the Yellow Emperor unified China, some people moved westward to live as nomads. born, they are called Qiang.”

"And some of the Qiang people gradually moved south from the upper reaches of the Yellow River in the northwest to the plateau in western Sichuan at a certain period in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. One of them came to the Qingyi River Basin along the Tibetan-Yi Corridor, and they were called "Qingyi" Qiang'. At the end of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty or earlier, Qingyijiang people established the Qingyi Qiang Kingdom with today's Yazhou as the center. Now Yazhou in Sichuan. Emei, Leshan, Hongya and other places have become one of the overlords in the country."

"The Qingyi Qiang Kingdom is located in the southwest, and the surrounding terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if the Qin Kingdom went south and destroyed Bashu, it did not have any impact on the Qingyi Qiang Kingdom. Until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Qiang in Qinghai, Gansu, Shaanxi, Sichuan and other provinces The Qingyi Qiang also responded positively to the uprising of the people. After two years of war, the Qiang uprising was suppressed by the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Qingyi Qiang Kingdom perished, and the Qingyi River, which originally gave birth to this thousand-year-old country, was renamed Pingqiang Jiang." Teacher Jia is worthy of the name of erudition, he told me the history of Tsing Yi Qiang with a magnetic voice, and I was fascinated by it.

"Mr. Jia, you mean that Qingyi Qiang ruled this area in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, so didn't he have a history of thousands of years?" He was destroyed by the imperial court in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he should not have existed for too long. The ancient Shu Kingdom also ruled this area, and it was destroyed in the Qin Dynasty. According to my thinking, these are two different periods. Civilizations do not intersect in time.But I didn't expect to hear this news from Teacher Jia today.If the Qingyi Qiang appeared in this land during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, wouldn't that mean that the Qingyi Qiang and the ancient Shu Kingdom existed at the same time?There may be some kind of connection between them!

Teacher Jia said with some doubts on his face, "Of course, if I remember correctly, although there are not many records about the Tsingyi Qiang Kingdom, it can be inferred that he existed for at least a thousand years."

I feel my whole body trembling, my heart feels like being clenched by someone's fist, and it's hard to breathe. At this moment, I can feel the secret between the Qingyi Qiang Kingdom and the ancient Shu civilization approaching me within easy reach.

I asked tremblingly: "Teacher Jia, do you know the connection between Qingyi Qiang Kingdom and Ancient Shu Kingdom?"

I looked expectantly at the elegant man wearing glasses in front of me. He frowned, but he didn't disappoint me. I saw records about the ancient Shu and the Qingyi Qiang in the "National Chronicles", um, let me think about it, it has been a long time."

I suddenly became short of breath, looked at the pensive Teacher Jia, and dared not speak, for fear of disturbing him and losing the opportunity for me to explore the secrets of Qiang and Shu.

After a while, Teacher Jia woke up from his thoughts. He looked at the turbulent Qingyi River in front of him, and said leisurely: "The last time I looked through the historical materials of Sichuan, I saw a sentence in "Huayang Guozhi" that says "Di Gong "Qingyi, Xiongzhang Liaobo" refers to the war between the ancient Shu Kingdom and the Qingyi Qiang Kingdom. The "emperor" in it should refer to Emperor Baozi, the king of Shu, who was also the third emperor of the enlightened dynasty of the ancient Shu Kingdom. That battle was very fierce. The Qingyi Qiang fought against the ancient Shu people for a long time, and finally ended in the defeat of the Qingyi Qiang. The Qingyi Qiang lost in that battle, and lost a large area of ​​land, even Yazhou. The area was also included in the ruling area of ​​the ancient Shu Kingdom. Well, the last time I heard that an earth pit tomb was found in Qingyuan Township, Lushan, and there were many weapons in the style of ancient Shu, which may have been one of the battlefields at that time."

I opened my mouth wide open, and looked at Teacher Jia in surprise. I never thought that this Tsing Yi Qiang was not only connected with the ancient Shu Kingdom, but also that there was a war between them. For the first time, I felt Now, the truth is so close to me.

"Well... Let me think about it, it seems that before the war between King Baozi of Shu and the Qingyi Qiang, the ancient Shu Kingdom fought against the Qingyi Qiang!" Teacher Jia adjusted his glasses and said, "Yes, I seem to be I read in another ancient book that there was also a war between the first Shu king of the enlightened dynasty and the Qingyi Qiang, but the record of that war was very simple, with only a few pens. Moreover, the result of the war was not written. I don't know if it's reliable."

I swallowed my saliva, Teacher Jia's words were like a flash of lightning piercing through my hazy and confused mind, there is indeed a big problem with Qingyi Qiang and the ancient Shu Kingdom!Ancient Shu Kingdom and Qingyi Qiang were not only two major civilizations in the same period, but also had two wars successively. All this reminded me of the woman buried in the white coffin, the woman named Ruochu.

I calmed down my somewhat excited mood, and began to slowly straighten out the information I had collected all along.

The first one should be that when I was in Tsingyi City Mountain, I heard that there was a rebellion in the ancient Shu Kingdom, which was said by the ghosts and ghosts. It was related to the dream that the evil dragon soul made me have in Fulongguan. That Ruochu should be in the ancient The Kingdom of Shu has a very high status and is even very likely to be one of the rulers at that time.

Later, there was a rebellion in the ancient Shu Kingdom. If I guessed correctly, it was the bloody battle on the Minjiang River in Jiaolong’s dream. The entire ancient Shu civilization was controlled by a man who was suspected to be the ancestor of zombies. On the other side, he killed Jiaolong and captured Ruochu.

Then there is the illusion I saw in the ruins of ancient Shu. The middle-aged man did something to Ruochu, which made her fall into a strange state, and then buried her in a special white coffin. .The man-made treasure that the Golden Monkey King and the others said in the legend of the ancient Shu Kingdom that can take away luck and bring people back to life should be Ruochu.

After that, there is a blank period of history. I don’t know why there were two wars between the ancient Shu Kingdom and the Qingyi Qiang Kingdom. The result of the first war is not clear, but the second time was that the Qingyi Qiang was defeated, and the Qingyi Qiang even lost it. As for the reasons for the two wars, there is no record in history, but I have a vague guess that this may be related to Ruochu.

I don't know how many years later, the Qin State went south and destroyed the ancient Shu State, and the Qingyi Qiang still survived. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the western Qiang people revolted, and the Qingyi Qiang was wiped out by the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Then, in the 17th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, the tragedy of Tsingyi Village being massacred by spirits and monsters occurred, and then Chen Shengzhi left to seek immortality and Taoism.

In the 28th year of Kangxi, Chen Shengzhi returned from his studies and went to the mountains to take revenge.It should be the vision I saw in Qingyiqiang Ancient Castle six years ago. Chen Shengzhi found Ruchu in the white coffin in Qingyiqiang Ancient Castle, and then put her into another white coffin and buried her in the village. Later, under the Snake King Temple, at that time, I didn't know what kind of deal Chen Shengzhi had made with the white snake that slaughtered Tsingyi Village. Instead of killing the white snake, Chen Shengzhi built a temple for him at the foot of the mountain, and let future generations worship it every year.

At the same time, in this year, the unknown female zombie was buried in a big red coffin by the Funan River in Chengdu, and someone set up a large Feng Shui array there to nourish it with the 300-year-old Yin energy of Chengdu.Although the person who did not enter the big formation did not leave any information, but I just think that person should be Chen Shengzhi!

Chen Shengzhi, this man shrouded in mystery, after he found Ruochu in Qingyi Qiang Castle, he made a series of layouts for some unknown purpose, and left a message to the descendants of the Chen family. When the imprinted child was born, it was the day when the Chen family's plan was realized.

In the end, it happened to me. I experienced a series of weird things since I was ten years old. Connecting my six-year experience with some previous thoughts, I felt a sense of enlightenment.

Ancient Shu, Ancient Qiang, Chen Family!
The connection between these three is the woman named Ruochu, she is the key to all the mysteries, and also the ultimate key to uncover all the layouts and conspiracies!As long as we can find out what happened to Ruochu back then, we can solve this eternal situation that spanned thousands of years!

However, on that morning six years ago, Ruochu turned into flying ash before my eyes and scattered with the wind.

How can I find the truth of all this?

I stared blankly at the bright moon in the sky, and the turbulent Qingyi River flowing beside me.

My heart is at a loss...
