Onmyoji's Secret

Chapter 85 Tsing Yi God and Ancient Shu King

Xia Lei's originally calm face became distorted and ferocious. I saw his hands tightly clenched into fists, his whole body trembling. He stared at me and said, "Your ancestor...he opened the white coffin?"

My heart skipped a beat, Xia Lei's calm performance just now was really a faux pas, the white coffin is absolutely extremely important to them.

"opened."

I said three words softly, and then I saw that Xia Lei on the opposite side seemed to have been drained of all his strength the moment he heard my words. He collapsed on the seat all of a sudden, looking a little weak.

I was a little excited. The more abnormal Xia Lei behaved, the more he should know. It seems that I have indeed found the right person this time. Maybe I can get some secrets from the past from the Qiang Shibi who is opposite. .

After a while, Xia Lei's face gradually returned to calm, but I could still see a trace of uneasiness and hesitation in his eyes. He said to me: "Using the words of your Han people, you can go to the Three Treasures Palace for everything. Since you Come to our village with this important news, what purpose do you have, just tell me!"

I suppressed my excitement and pretended to be calm and said: "My purpose has already been told to you earlier, it is to know some secrets of the Qingyi ancient Qiang and the ancient Shu kingdom, as the messenger of the gods in the Qiang nationality For Mr. Shibi, you should know a lot about those things that have been passed down from generation to generation. Correspondingly, if you tell me what I want to know, I will also tell you about the white coffin."

Xia Lei listened to me, nodded, and said: "As long as it doesn't involve some taboos in our clan, it doesn't matter to tell you other things. But before that, you tell me that your ancestors lived in that white What did you see in your coffin?"

I was startled, this Xia Lei actually asked me such a question, didn't he know that the white coffin contained Ruochu?
Although there were many thoughts in my heart, I still replied: "He saw a woman in the white coffin, a woman with a strange bronze mask!"

After hearing my words, Xia Lei closed his eyes, moved his lips, and said, "Sure enough, that's retribution..."

retribution?

I was a little surprised, could it be that the things inside are more complicated than I thought, and what is the identity of that Ruochu?
When I thought of this, I immediately said to Xia Lei: "Grandpa Xia, can you tell me first, what is the identity of Ruochu in that white coffin?"

As soon as I said that, I looked at Xia Lei with burning eyes, and my heart was so excited.This question that has troubled me for six years is finally about to reveal the answer in front of me. The woman named Ruochu will unveil that mysterious veil in front of my eyes today.

Xia Lei was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Ruochu?"

But before I could answer, he suddenly realized: "Yes, according to your Chinese pronunciation, her name is indeed similar to Ruochu."

"Well, it's been thousands of years, so it's okay to tell you now. That woman you call Ruochu is a descendant of God, the only descendant of Tsing Yi God left in this world." Xia Lei said with a slightly sad expression. Said.

"Tsing Yi God?"

I was shocked immediately, what Xia Lei said was too shocking, there are ghosts and demons in this world, that's because people have seen them, but gods and spirits are a kind of existence that only exist in legends, How could there be a real god in this world!

Seeing my surprised look, Xia Lei smiled and said, "Have you ever heard of the legend of the Qiang-Ge battle of our Qiang people?"

I nodded hastily. I might not have heard of it before, but in the teahouse just now, Xia Yuanyang had already told me this somewhat mythical story.

"Would the Tsing Yi God you mentioned be the god who gave your leader enlightenment in a dream and used the white stone to defeat the Goki people?" I asked hesitantly.

Xia Lei shook his head with a smile, and said: "The god who entrusted the dream is the god of heaven, the greatest and most respected god of our Qiang people. However, the Tsing Yi God does not exist like that. He was actually the one who led our Qiang people out of the dilemma of life and death. The leader."

"Back when the ancient Qiang people came from the northwest to the southwest, they encountered the most brutal Goki people in the Minjiang River Basin. We lost consecutive battles with the Goki people and suffered heavy losses. The people of the tribe were almost unable to hold on. When he was about to escape, the leader at that time stepped forward. He said that he had received a revelation from the gods in his dream, and asked the tribesmen to use hard white stones and British stones as weapons to fight against the Goki people, and finally killed the Goki people. Defeated, let the ancient Qiang people gain a firm foothold in the Minjiang River Basin."

"After the ancient Qiang people settled down in the Minjiang River valley, in order to make their people live better, he wore green clothes and taught them to plant mulberry trees and food, raise silkworms and spin silk in this Shu land, making the whole tribe more healthy. Later, because of the strength and prosperity of the Qiang tribe, many local indigenous tribes came to attach them, and eventually became a huge tribal federation, and the leader once built a royal city named Qushang in the place equivalent to Shuangliu, Chengdu. City, and the ancient Qiang people established a huge civilized country with Qushang City as the center, which is called the ancient Shu country by the world."

Xia Lei said this with pride and pride on his face, as if he had returned to the glorious time when the ancient Shu Kingdom was just established.

His eyes burst into a strange look, and he said: "So, whether it is the later Tsingyi Qiang Kingdom or the ancient Shu Kingdom, they are all branches of the ancient Qiang people. And that great leader, because he often Wearing Tsing Yi to teach sericulture to the people, and governing a river that often floods, and finally being regarded as a god by the Qiang people and the ancient Shu people for his great achievements, and revered as the Tsing Yi God. It is also passed down to this day because of the name of the god, and it is called Qingyi River!"

I was terrified in my heart. Although I was prepared in my heart, the information content in Xia Lei's words was too great!

I never expected that Qingyi River was not named after the Qingyi Qiang Kingdom, but after an even older leader of the Qiang tribe.And the Tsingyi Qiang Kingdom and the Ancient Shu Kingdom, which have always been hostile in my heart, are actually of the same race. They are both branches of the ancient Qiang nationality. No wonder their languages ​​are so similar, no wonder they are all similar to that weird The bronze mask has something to do with it. Is the bronze statue I saw in the shrine in Qingyi Qiang Ancient Village the Tsing Yi God?Are those bronze masks that appeared in the ruins of the ancient Shu Kingdom also the symbol of Tsing Yi God?
I was so excited that I couldn't help but said to Xia Lei: "Is that bronze mask that appeared in both the ancient Shu Kingdom and Qingyi Qiang your Tsingyi God? It's so weird!"

Xia Lei listened to my words, his expression was a little serious, and he stretched out a hand to uncover his robe, revealing a muscular body inside, and I saw a strange portrait painted on his chest The totem, with a square mouth and big ears, and extremely protruding eyes, is exactly the bronze mask I have seen countless times.

"The God of Tsing Yi is not only the leader of our Qiang people, but also the first generation king of the ancient Shu Kingdom. Perhaps you should have heard of his name. When I was studying outside you, I read a book called "Huayang There is a record about Tsing Yi God in the book "National Records"." Xia Lei was in high spirits at the moment, and said vigorously: "Zhou lost the discipline, and Shu was the king first. There was Cancong, the Marquis of Shu, whose eyes were straight, and then he became the king."

Silkworm Cong!

The Tsing Yi God's name is actually Can Cong!

I was terrified, because I had indeed heard the name Cancong, and I clearly remembered that not long ago we learned an ancient poem by Li Bai from a Chinese textbook. The name of the ancient poem was "The Road to Shu is Difficult". In the poem, Li Bai wrote:

Ye Yu, the danger is so high!The difficulty of Shu Dao is as difficult as reaching the sky!
Silkworm bushes and fish mallards, what a daze for the founding of the country!

Erlai is forty-eight thousand years old and does not communicate with Qin Sai.

There is a bird trail in Xidang Taibai, which can cross the top of Emei.

The ground collapsed and the mountains destroyed the strong men to death, and then the ladders and stone stacks were hooked up.
