The system is the king of the counterattack master

After the first story was told, Han Xiaodong fell into deep thought. This story is full of doubts. From Anyang, Henan to the mountainous areas of Yunnan, let alone ancient people, even modern people, it is not easy to drag their families along the way, not to mention the mountains and forests at that time. It is so vast, it is not an easy task to survive in Yunnan, which is full of miasma and wild animals.

But stories are stories, and stories can reveal some truths, but they can also obscure others.This story is not necessarily the whole picture of things at that time, but the man mentioned in the story does sound different from other myths.He has flesh and blood, and is also very down-to-earth. It sounds more real if he doesn't play those false tricks of flying into the sky and turning beans into soldiers.

If we only look at it from the perspective of a folktale, the story told by the old man seems to have many similarities with ordinary stories.However, if you study it carefully, it is not difficult to find that there are indeed many different places in this story.It is precisely these unique places that have some subtle coincidences with Han Xiaodong's purpose of entering the mountain this time.

"Old man, do you know the name of that fairy?" Han Xiaodong said, raising his wine glass to toast the old man.

The old man picked up the wine glass and touched Han Xiaodong lightly, drank it down, and said with a long breath: "It is said that the man is called Dongmen She, and the people in the village call him Tongtian Dashen, who has been enshrined in this village for thousands of years. The God of God, the Tongtian Temple in the back of our mountain is dedicated to him."

Dongmenshe, this is not the first time Han Xiaodong has heard of this name. He has already firmly remembered this name in his heart. Now that he hears this name, his heart can't help but move. It seems that this place is indeed closely related to "that world". Thousands of connections.

"Old man, what happened to Dongmenshe?" After drinking a glass of wine, Han Xiaodong quickly ate two peanuts. His first sip of wine just now gave him a long memory. This wine is definitely not something to drink dry .

The old man shook his head when he heard the question: "After that, no one heard about him, but he saved the village's life, so everyone still worships him year after year. What happened later is related to him." It doesn't matter, but you have seen the geographical location of our village. Let alone the past, even now, it is not easy to get in. So it has not been affected too much by the outside world.

I have been living very peacefully, and slowly, not many people remember what the myth of the God of Connecting Heaven is about. Everyone only knows that there is a god in the mountain, and it has become a tradition to worship every year.Until the sixth year of Tianqi in the Ming Dynasty, things had a new development. "

Han Xiaodong knew that the old man's story could not end here abruptly, so he quickly filled the old man's wine glass again, partly because he was very interested in the following story, and partly because during the Ming Dynasty's Tianqi period, with him The things to be investigated this time overlap again.

However, the old man's statement that the Ming Dynasty revealed six years also surprised him, because folk stories in minority areas rarely use specific year names.After all, it was passed down by word of mouth in the village, and the beginning was nothing more than a long time ago, or a vague dynasty, and the specific year can be mentioned, which shows that the origin of the story is definitely not simple, and it increases the authenticity of this matter out of thin air.

"Apocalypse was six years, that was the end of Ming Dynasty. Emperor Apocalypse reigned for seven years. He was the emperor after Wanli. Wanli happened to be the turning point of Ming Dynasty. Apocalypse did not last long, and then he was the last emperor of Ming Dynasty. The biggest events during the Tianqi period were the Donglin Party Controversy and the Liaodong War, but our village is far away from the capital, and has nothing to do with Liaodong, the chaos outside should have little impact on this place, right?"

Han Xiaodong briefly explained the background, and at the same time expressed his doubts.

In the Ming Dynasty, although Yunnan had been included in the normal territory sequence, it was thought that there were high mountains everywhere, so the degree of development was not high. At that time, Yunnan and Xinjiang could only be mentioned when it was mentioned the distribution of frontiers.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Wu Sangui helped the Qing Dynasty enter the customs. The rulers of the Qing Dynasty felt that it was unreasonable not to give them a place, and after all, Wu Sangui held the military power, so they reluctantly gave him management of Yunnan.

Obviously, Wu Sangui didn't have a very good impression of the Yunnan area, and felt that the conditions here were too difficult, so he rebelled altogether later, and this led to the San Francisco Rebellion in the Qing Dynasty.

This was the case in the Qing Dynasty, let alone the Ming Dynasty which was further ahead.In the Ming Dynasty, Yunnan was not a very developed area, but since the old man mentioned the year name, it seems that this matter has something to do with the court at that time.

Listening to Han Xiaodong talking about the six-year historical background of Tianqi, the old man put a peanut in his mouth, shook his head and said, "I don't understand the big things you talk about, they were studied by you educated people, what about revival?" I have never even heard of Wanli Donglin. This story is passed down by the older generation. I will remember how it is passed down. As for the truth in it, it is not for me, an old farmer. knew."

The old man said these words very truthfully, and Han Xiaodong also felt that he had raised this question a bit too much. Even if the old man had been a soldier, it did not mean that he was educated. Maybe he knew a lot of stories, but the history behind the stories was really different. It should be his concern.

So he immediately changed the subject and asked, "Six years after that day, what happened?"

The old man took a sip of the waterpipe, and then continued: "At the time of Tianqi, there was a man named Wei Zhongxian outside. Let you tell the difference."

When Han Xiaodong heard this, he nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, the story is correct, the treacherous minister, the real treacherous minister, is worse than Shang Zhou."

Hearing what he said, the old man continued: "But that Wei Zhongxian, who is so powerful and known as nine thousand years old, has many bad guys around him, flattering him, giving him big gifts, and becoming his lackey. Later they I felt that praising Wei Zhongxian was not enough, and I didn't know who brought it up, so I started to build temples for him everywhere, let the people worship him, saying that Wei Zhongxian is a great saint, and the people must pay homage to him.

Think about it, that temple was built for ordinary people. As a person, you are not a god, so how can you eat the incense of the world? But Wei Zhongxian is not afraid, he is happy when someone builds a temple for him. He is a eunuch and has little knowledge, so there is no taboo on these things, as long as he is happy.

Building ancestral halls for [-] years old has become a fashion for a while, and all provinces and regions have to build them. Those who can build large ancestral halls will build large ancestral halls, and those who cannot build large ancestral halls will build small ancestral halls.Originally, this matter had nothing to do with our village, but the chieftain master who is in charge of this generation of land has something to do with the capital. It is said that as long as Wei Zhongxian builds an ancestral hall, he can be promoted and make a fortune.And I don't know who told the chieftain that our place is a treasure land of geomantic omen, dedicated to a great god, if we can use that land to build an ancestral hall for Jiuqian, we will definitely get a big reward.

The old chieftain at that time heard it, and his heart became alive, so he sent people into the village to demolish the temple. Unexpectedly, it caused a catastrophe. "
