Chapter 5 The Birth of the Merchants
The land of Shenzhou, the southeast border of the Dahao Dynasty, Shunshan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Surrounded by mountains here, there is no one in a radius of 80 miles, a small market town called "Shunshan Town", 50 miles to the east over the mountains and mountains, you will find a rich mountain village "Shigu Village".
There are more than 300 families and more than 1,000 people living in the village, who have no quarrel with the world, work hard, support themselves, and live a quiet life of male farmers and female weavers.
Take a closer look at the small village, the pink walls and tiles, the pillars of the Xuanlan and the red columns, the four eaves flying, the corridor meandering, the courtyard is deep, jagged and longing, the pavilions and rain pavilions are scattered, and the perfect ink painting in the south of the Yangtze River.
Thousands of acres of fertile land, Qianmo vertical and horizontal, mulberry tea all over the mountain, flowing water nine songs, converging into the "Xijian Ping Lake" surrounded by forty miles of long mountains, the autumn water is a color of the long sky, the paradise of reality.
It's hard to imagine that more than 1,000 ordinary mountain and wild villagers can build such a beautiful village in this ravine!
In fact, their identity is indeed not ordinary, but the remnants of Yin Shang!
Before King Su conquered the Su tribe that year, the great wizard Wu Xian suddenly summoned him and asked him to determine the position of the crown prince early, and after thinking about it for a long time, he officially established his eldest son Lu's father, that is, Wu Geng, as the crown prince.
The king of Hou Xuan was confused by Su Daji, and he didn't think about the government all day long, and he didn't give up the throne, and Wu Geng has always been in the name of the prince.
Who would have thought, but two years, the king of Yin self-immolation in Lutai, Ying Hao usurped the throne, overthrew the Great Shang, established the Great Hao, King Wu Geng for the safety of the Yin Shang remnants, compromised with the Ying Hao government, in the Guan, Cai, Huo three people of Wei, Hu, Shao three besieged, management of the Yin Shang remnants.
Wu Geng's descendant grandson "Ziyun" was dissatisfied with his father's compromise, and he quarreled with Wu Geng when he was young and vigorous, and some relatives and friends who were also unwilling to submit to the Yinghao Group came here to live in seclusion, looking for an opportunity to revive the big business!
In the late reign of Wen Ding, the 29th emperor of the Great Shang, the national strength showed a downward trend, the general Ji Li was executed, and the surrounding barbarian tribes began to move.
Emperor Wending had a far-sighted vision and began to secretly plan a "refuge", if one day the Great Shang was destroyed, the descendants could have a place to hide, so "Shigu Village" was born.
Facts have proved that his decision is very correct, and more than a hundred years later, the great Shang mysteriously collapsed, and some of the descendants of the Zi family came here and were able to survive.
Now, the flowers have bloomed and fallen twenty times, and they are living a peaceful life here.
The grandson of the Emperor of the Dynasty has now entered the age of not being confused, and after these years of hard cultivation by obsession, at the age of forty-one, he reached the peak of the Nine Realms of Qi Refining not long ago, and began to touch the level of the God Refining Realm.
In Shigu Village, there are now more than 300 people with the surname Zi, and there are 27 people who have broken through the Qi Refining Realm.
Among them, there are two people with extremely good talents, one is a twenty-two-year-old Zili, the peak of the Qi Refining Dual Realm, and the other is a seventeen-year-old Zilong, who is in the Qi Refining One Realm.
Among the rest of the surname clans, there are a total of thirty people in the Qi Refining Realm, and the strongest one is Murong En's nephew Murong Fan, who is in the Eight Realms of Qi Refining.
The Murong family is one of the top ten families now, originally belonged to the five major families of the Shang Dynasty, after the establishment of the Dahao Dynasty, the Yinghao Group supported the new five families, although the original five families are still strong, but except for the Ouyang family, the other four have been weaker than the new families.
This small branch of the Murong surname is a small branch of the Murong family, and Murong En is an early member of the lineage.
At this time, the strength of Shigu Village is far weaker than that of Yinghao Group, but the village is thriving, and everything is developing in a good direction.
……
Ziyun's only wife, Jian Rong, had a dream when she was sleeping a few days ago, she dreamed of a Xuanniao who was more than a foot tall.
The bird is covered with supple and smooth, shining feathers, the patterns on the feathers are exquisite, delicate and gorgeous, the wings are closed at the side, and the tail has ten long-long dream tail feathers rhythmically, rippling in the dream debut dazzling brilliance.
On the top of her head swayed a golden crown feather more than a foot long, showing the grace and luxury of the Xuanniao.
This is probably the only monochromatic place in her body, but Jin Ling's light is the most gorgeous, enveloping her phoenix head, even if there are dreamy nine colors circulating on her body, Jian Rong is still attracted by her Jin Ling, and it is difficult to remove her obsessive gaze.
Beneath the bird is a nest made of hundreds of branches of different colors.
At first glance, it seems that there are millions of branches, but if you look closely, you will find that the foundation is only a few hundred branches, and although there are no roots, they are still vibrant, and hundreds of small branches and small branches grow on each branch.
The bird lies in the nest, with its eyes closed, breathing evenly, as if it is taking a nap.
In the dream, Jian Rong stood like this and stared at it straight away, after a long time, the Xuanniao slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Jian Rong gracefully, nodded at her slightly, and then chirped crisply, stood upright with his legs, stretched out his slender and wide wings, and flapped his wings away.
The nest left an egg with a rainbow of brilliance.
Jian Rong, who was in a state of confusion, went straight to the easter egg, picked up the extremely beautiful egg, and suddenly had a desire to eat it in his heart.
So, she ate it in a daze...... Including eggshells were also eaten...... It's swallowed raw............
When I woke up, I found that I was pregnant, and my belly was high, and I was about to give birth......
When she anxiously told Ziyun about this, Ziyun was so excited that she burst into tears and shouted, "God bless Dashang!"
When Ziyun calmed down, Jian Rong asked him why he was so out of shape, Ziyun looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, his eyes were full of emotion, he took a deep breath, and said with a smile:
"Destiny Xuanniao, descend to give birth to business!"
……
That night, lightning and thunder, wind and rain enveloped the village, the wind bent the old trees, the torrential rain drenched the crops, and the river flooded the countryside.
Shigu Village was ravaged by this bad weather unscrupulously, but the exquisite courtyard was still standing in the wind and rain, standing still.
In the home of village chief Ziyun, more than 100 villagers gathered. Although it was already late at night, the house was still brightly lit, and the wind and thunder still did not suppress the villagers' discussions.
"Why aren't you alive yet?
"Yes, the mother and child must be safe! Don't go wrong!"
"How do you speak? Lord Ziyun's family has done good deeds and accumulated virtues, rare good people, they must be fine!"
"Aren't I worried! Also, you talk about me, but what about yourself?
……
In the night, the dark clouds obscured the bright moon and the stars, and above the dense dark clouds, the stars of Zhou Tian slowly moved along the trajectory of the heavenly path. In the electric light and fire layer of this planet, Zhou Tian Xingchen reflected on it to form a dream star map.
Suddenly, the stars on the star map continue to distort, and the fantastic and colorful star map becomes more mysterious and gorgeous, because each star moves strangely in a different three-dimensional function model, with different strobes and at different speeds, so the distorted star map seems to be irregular.
However, if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that the starlight corresponding to the Extreme North Star of the Sky has never changed, and no matter how distorted the star map is, the Extreme North Star of the Sky is always in the center of the star of Zhou Tian.
In the outer void, a bright starlight from the constellation Sagittarius Atarí shuttled through the interstellar space like a sharp arrow, and after 144 years, it reached this huge and beautiful planet.
When the starlight fell, the third star on the star chart suddenly lit up, and the starlight flashed through the shining star, pierced the sky, and descended on the courtyard of the sub-family in Shigu Village.
Starlight fell like a dreamlike colorful waterfall from the Nine Heavens Milky Way and poured into Shigu Village.
However, due to the starlight containing the rules of the Great Heavenly Dao, its special nature caused no one on this planet to see it.
At the same time, all the creatures who had entered the Holy Realm on the land of Divine Prefecture trembled violently in their hearts, and they all felt the subtle changes in the Heavenly Dao of this realm, as if a stone was thrown into a pool of still water, and the surface of the water was flooded with Dao ripples.
But just as this "stone" was thrown in, the star map in the electric light from the fire layer calmed down, as usual.
All the dreamy starlight gathered in the fetus in Jian Rong's womb, circulating around the fetus like flowing water, forming a layer of colorful water film clinging to his body surface, and then slowly penetrating into the fetus's body and soul, and finally disappeared into the depths of his soul.
The moment the last rays of starlight disappeared, the light in the depths of the fetus's soul flashed rapidly, and his consciousness was born.
After the starlight, the showers stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and the moonlight shone again, attracting everyone in Shigu Village to look up one after another, although they didn't know why, but they were all amazed.
Before the villagers could speak, a baby's cry came from the back room, and everyone looked inside.
At this time, a maid ran out shouting, "It's born! It's the young master!"
After that, the villagers' various congratulatory voices came one after another, and Ziyun listened to the red light and responded one by one.
"Congratulations to Brother Ziyun for winning your son!"
"Uncle Ziyun does a lot of good deeds, has noble morals, and is lucky, and now he is happy to have a son, and God has opened his eyes!"
It is worth mentioning that Ziyun is emotionally single-minded, and there is only one wife Jian Rong, but Jian Rong can't have children, and because of this incident, the relationship between Wu Geng and Ziyun is very bad.
More than 20 years have passed, although Jian Rong has asked Ziyun to take concubines many times, Ziyun has always refused sternly.
Now in such a special period, Xuanniao's dream of giving a child not only makes up for the regrets of the husband and wife, but also indicates the second rise of Yin Shang!
"Yes, this son had such a vision of heaven and earth when he was born, and the future must be extraordinary. Brother Ziyun, there is hope for the revival of my big business!" Murong Fan touched his mustache and said with a smile
"That's it! That's it, Lord Ziyun is so blessed!"
"Alas, where, where, the child has just been born, and I don't know what the talent is. Ziyun said modestly.
After the birth of the child, the servants hurriedly arranged, the smoke rose from the cooking, everyone in the kitchen was busy, and Ziyun put on a banquet.
The storm stopped, the whole village came to participate, and the feast lasted from early morning to late in the evening.
At the banquet, Ziyun named his son "Zishang" in public, hoping that his son would remember that he was a remnant of Shang, and hoped that he would lead everyone to revitalize Dashang.
In addition, his birth is very similar to the ancestor of the Shang tribe, "Qi", both of which were born by his mother "swallowing the eggs of the Xuanbird".
The birth of Zishang undoubtedly added a little vitality and vitality to this small village again. A few children of six or seven years old often came over to play with their newborn cousins and even uncles and grandfathers. However, due to the etiquette and religious constraints of the adults, they did not dare to mess around with this young elder.
