Chapter 156: Ancient Legends!
"There's a lot of stuff in the book that's useful, and there's a lot of this knowledge in the forensic records, and you just don't care about it! Youmei, do you know how tall this person is? After glancing at Fatty, Zhou Yu turned to ask Xia You again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"I seem to remember that the femur is the height of a person, and it should be four times the length of the femur! I don't know if I'm mistaken. Xia You embarrassedly lifted his glasses.
"That's right! It seems that you have learned very well! Oh, hurry up and measure it, and I'll teach you! Zhou Yu casually gave the femur to fatten. Fei Fei hurriedly took out a ruler from the toolbox and measured it carefully several times.
After Zhou Yu handed the bones to Fei Fei, he turned to look at the surrounding environment.
It's beautiful, green mountains and green trees, white clouds, and occasionally a few birdsongs in the mountains in the distance, which makes people feel happy!
In particular, the mountains in the distance are very interesting, they are not high, and the slope from the bottom to the top is very gentle, and if you look closely, you will find that they seem to be very regular, horizontal and vertical, as if they are artificially arranged.
"Chessboard Town! Uncle, let me ask you something, when I was a child, I heard that there are myths and legends in the origin of this chessboard town, can you tell me about it. Zhou Yu came to the outside of the cordon and asked an old farmer with a gray beard.
Instructor Lu and Tao Ranran were dumbfounded, why did Zhou Yu listen to the story?
"There are indeed myths and legends circulating in our town. However, it is said that during the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the north of the Yellow River belonged to the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, and the south of the Yellow River belonged to the Yan Emperor Shennong. The two also fought in the dark, causing the lives of the tribes in the world to be devastated! Due to the perennial wars, the various tribes are barren, the livestock are not raised, and natural and man-made disasters are also continuous. Coupled with the sharp decline in population, the northern Dirong tribe and the southwestern Wu tribe saw this situation and began to move! In order to prevent the Terran race from suffering a catastrophe, the two leaders persuaded the tribesmen to accept the peace talks. Among them, Emperor Yan is even more courageous, thinking that the Yellow Emperor has the talent to pass through the heavens and the earth, and has a fair and just benevolence, so he is willing to give up the position of the leader of the tribe and the name of the co-lord of the world! In order to prevent the tribesmen from worrying, he left an inscription, and he drifted away alone, and no one found it! The old man recounted the ancient legend with emotion, as if he had witnessed it himself, which made Tao Ranran's eyes shine brightly! The ears are pricked up and moving, like a little elf!
"I heard that after Emperor Yan went into hiding, he lived in Qipan Mountain in this Qipan Township. The legend is that the Yellow Emperor, the co-owner of the world, found the Yan Emperor after defeating the Wu clan, the two took the stars as chess pieces, and the earth as the chessboard, played chess in this place, and finally won or lost! When the two of them realized that time had passed, they found that the star chess pieces picked from the sky had turned into peaks, which were the nine! The uncle pointed to the nine emerald green peaks hundreds of meters high in the distance and said proudly!
"Thank you, uncle, are there any other legends later?" , Zhou Yu asked him again.
At this time, Tao Ranran's eyes widened, and they didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd!
"Yes, yes, but this legend is true or false, it is all talked about after dinner when generations of old people are busy with farming, but it is also passed on by word of mouth. Legend has it that this chessboard township and Longtou Town together are like a divine beast Xuanwu, strutting towards the sea! This is an auspicious place, and people who know a little about feng shui will look for the dragon's lair here and bury their ancestors! Legend has it that during the Warring States period, a famous minister chose this place as a cemetery! But no one has found it so far! So it became a legend. The old man looked at the mountains in the distance with confused eyes, and the layers of peaks seemed to be shrouded in a veil of mystery!
"Who is it? Famous faces of the Warring States period? Tao Ranran frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't think of anything.
Zhou Yu looked at the old man, "But Fan Li Fan Shaobo, who once offered advice to help King Goujian of Yue to restore the country?" ”
The old man nodded, "It's rare to know the word Fan Fan Shaobo in later life!" They were still confused, and then explained, "Fan Li's family has been poor since he was a child, and he has known Chu Wanling very well and has a deep relationship. It is rumored that because of dissatisfaction with the political darkness of the Chu State at that time, non-nobles were not allowed to enter the country, they defected to the Yue State together, assisted the Yue State Gou Jian, helped Gou Jian to rejuvenate the Yue State, and destroyed the Wu State. After becoming famous, he retreated bravely, and his pseudonym was Yizipi, wandering between the seventy-two peaks. Later, it was rumored that he lived in seclusion in Dingtao, during which he became a huge rich man in business three times, scattered his family wealth three times, and called himself Tao Zhu Gong! Later generations even admired him for his loyalty to the country, wisdom to protect himself, business to get rich, and become famous all over the world, also known as the God of Wealth! Maybe you are more familiar with another legend, and that is Shih Tzu! ”
"Yes, yes, I'll know as soon as you say Shih Tzu. Later, it was rumored that Xi Shi disappeared from the Wu Palace, was it true that he was taken away by Fan Li? I said how he did a good job as a prime minister and went into seclusion, it turned out that he went to live happily with the United States! When Fei Fei said Xi Shi, his eyes were bright, and his mouth was finally useful!
"Haha, then do you know why there is a legend of Fan Li's tomb here?" , The old man touched his gray beard and smiled.
"Huh? Didn't you say he settled in Dingtao? How did you come back? Fat was dumbfounded, and even Zhou Yu and Tao Ranran were interested.
"Didn't you say just now that Fan Li lived in seclusion with beauty? Why can't there be a turn? The old man looked at Fat with a smile.
"That's right! You won't say that Xi Shi missed his homeland after his death and was buried back to Zhejiang! And Fan Li's beloved wife was so heartfelt that he personally selected this feng shui treasure and dug the tomb. And then confess to the descendants, and bury them in the grave after death, right? After a while, I accidentally remembered that Xi Shi was from Zhejiang, and it was not far from Runyang!
That's true, that's what the legend says! Fan Gong loved Xi Shi, and in order to fulfill his wife's long-cherished wish, he began to look for a suitable place before her death, and was buried in this chessboard mountain after her death! Later, he himself was buried in the grave! Of course, the official history does not record this, after all, it was carried out quietly. But there is a proverb in many towns and villages around the area: Fan Gongyi's tomb, the legend of the rich rival country! So much so that during the Three Kingdoms period, Shu Han and Eastern Wu both sent people here to look for it, but they didn't find the slightest! There is also a drinking horse well at the east end of the town, and the stone tablet is engraved with words, the last of which are still clearly legible, simple and constitutional! Oh, Jian Xianhe is Jian Yong, Liu Bei's early housekeeper! The old man became more and more energetic and talked endlessly.
"But a thousand or two thousand years have passed, and there are not many people who come here to look for the tomb of Fan Gong. I didn't find anything after digging into the ground! In the 90s, the national survey team also came here to look for minerals, and by the way, they used the most advanced instruments to explore, except for finding dozens of rusty, buried copper and rotten iron in the ground, and found nothing! ”
