Chapter Ninety-Four: The Great Western Army

"The Great Western Army. After listening to the words of the swarthy man, Li Yan stood alone and muttered, the Great Western Army is Zhang Xianzhong's army, and it is also a rebel army that can be as famous as Li Zicheng in the late Ming Dynasty.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the eunuchs interfered in politics, the court was chaotic, coupled with the continuous natural and man-made disasters, the people were hungry and miserable, so they rose up one after another to rebel against the imperial court.

Zhang Xianzhong launched an uprising in Shaanxi, and after more than ten years of fighting in the east and west, he occupied the land of Shu and established the Great Shun to fight for power, and his army was the Great Western Army.

According to historical records, Zhang Xianzhong was brutal and unkind, and once massacred more than 3 million people in Shuzhong, and even set up the Seven Evil Monuments in Shuzhong: "All things and people are born, and people have nothing and heaven, kill." ”

However, this is a record in the history books, the words of the family do not know whether they are true or false, this person rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, resisted the Qing army, offended two groups of people, and it is inevitable that he will be hacked, and the historical data cannot be taken seriously.

According to the total population of Shu at that time, Zhang Xianzhong's slaughter of three million Shu people was obviously exaggerated, but it should be an indisputable fact that he slaughtered Shu disciples.

"In that case, it is very likely that the village before was killed by the people of the Great Western Army, and the ghosts of grievances have not been dispersed for thousands of years, so it has become a ghost village. Hearing the swarthy man talk about the Great Western Army, Li Yan lowered his head and thought silently.

He has seen the old man's clothes, which are made of the Shu Di technique, which cannot be from the hands of the current machine, plus the square scarf on his head, which means peace in all directions, very much like the dress of the Ming Dynasty.

"It's good that I didn't go in at the time, otherwise would it be another matter if I could have come out?" Li Yan whispered, secretly glaring.

At that time, when he and the old man's eyes met each other, he found some clues, the old man's eyes were very hollow, it looked like he was looking at an iceberg, but people couldn't help but chill, so it seemed that it was definitely not a simple ghost.

Thinking about it now, Li Yan felt that it was not that Yu Pei had a sudden fever at that time, it was not that he was hallucinating, it should be that Yu Pei had discovered the danger and was reminding himself not to go in.

After all this, Li Yan only felt that he was in a cold sweat behind his back, it was just an inconspicuous small village, who would have thought that it was actually a world of unjust souls.

Li Yan was a little afraid, and he couldn't calm his mood for a long time, and when the swarthy man on the side saw this, he took the initiative to invite Li Yan to his house as a guest.

Bashan Shushui, the unique geographical environment is isolated from the world, so that the people here to go out to pay great difficulty, but it is also this that also makes the people of Shu warm and simple, natural hospitality.

The swarthy man saw that Li Yan had almost fainted several times, and he was so haggard, so he had to take Li Yan home to entertain him, no matter how Li Yan refused, it was useless, so he took Li Yan and walked home

"If you let you go, the people in the village will know about it, and my old Zhang's backbone will be rubbed by them. The swarthy man took Li Yan's hand and said, he told Li Yan that in their village, there was no reason not to entertain any guests passing by.

After communicating with the swarthy man, Li Yan knew from his mouth that this village was called Zhangjiagou, most of the people in the village were surnamed Zhang, and the ancestor came from a general in Shuzhong, who was the specific surname, and the swarthy man scratched his head and didn't think about it for a long time.

The swarthy man was very hospitable, so he pulled Li Yan into the door of his house, and shouted at his mother-in-law, asking her to hurry up and cook on the fire, and make a few specialty dishes to entertain Li Yan.

When Li Yan arrived in this village, it was already past lunch time, and looking at the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen of Dahan's house, he knew that the family had already eaten lunch and asked them to cook less food, but after it was served, he realized that the table was full of special dishes from Shuzhong

Iron pot fish, spicy tofu, dry pot eggplant, dry pot potato, ginger silk chicken, old kitchen cabbage, all kinds of dishes are dazzling, people can't help but salivate when they see it, put a bite into their mouths, the aftertaste is endless, and the spicy Li Yan can't help but shed tears.

"Brother, if you don't eat spicy when you come to our Shu land, do you call Shu land?" Seeing Li Yan's spicy tears, the swarthy man laughed heartily, picked up a piece of dried chili pepper and put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and had an expression of enjoyment on his face.

"Come brother, have a drink, when I get to my house, I don't have anything else, but enough to eat and drink. The swarthy man spoke, and a large bowl full of wine was handed to Li Yan.

According to the swarthy man, these wines are all made by themselves, pure and sweet, and there is a faint fragrance in the mouth, fragrant and fragrant, and extremely delicious.

Take a sip gently, full of charm, a big bowl of wine in the stomach, lips and teeth fragrant, a heroic and chivalrous feeling jumped into their hearts, so that Li Yan and the swarthy man couldn't help but have a rush of thoughts in the hearts of the sword.

After pushing the cup and changing the lamp for more than half an hour, an eight or nine-year-old boy jumped up and ran over from outside, he was the son of a swarthy man, and he was very fond of Li Yan.

Maybe it was because he saw that there were people present, and the little boy looked a little frightened, but it didn't take long for him to sit next to Li Yan and eat deliciously, without any fear at all.

"Abba, I heard from the village chief's uncle, there are some graves on that mountain that have collapsed, do you think someone will really climb out of it!"

"It's really strange that the grave has collapsed again, it's been several times in the past year or so, is there really something weird?" the swarthy man muttered alone, mysterious, making Li Yan unable to figure out his head.

Seeing that Li Yan was a little puzzled, the swarthy man explained to Li Yan that in the past year, strange things have often happened on the mountains near them, with thunder rolling and lightning roaring, as if some wild beast was about to wake up from the mountain.

I went to the mountains to see what was going on, but I saw that several graves had collapsed, and the bodies inside were missing, as if they had been visited by tomb robbers.

But if it is really patronized by tomb robbers, it is reasonable, but those graves on the mountain are buried in nearby villagers, not to mention burial goods, even if there is a coffin, it can already be regarded as a rich family.

In addition, there was a legend in Shu that the emperor turtle spirit was a corpse of Chu State, and later went against the water and was resurrected after being rescued by the ancient Shu people, so there are still people in Shu who believe that someone can be resurrected after death.

With the explanation of the swarthy man, Li Yan probably also has some understanding of the matter, the thunder is rolling, the corpse is gone, no matter how you look at it, there is no direct connection between the two things, as for the resurrection of the dead, this is even more impossible.

"Maybe there are other reasons!" Li Yan muttered, he didn't say anything about this matter, and the swarthy man didn't take it to heart, the two of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and drank until the evening, so unhappy.
