Chapter 177: Yu Ming Lu

The next day, early in the morning.

Ji Qing finally decided to go down the mountain to take a look.

Although the enrollment time is relatively late, it is indeed possible to ask for leave to go down the mountain in the Luoyi School Palace.

What's more, Ji Qing's qualifications, no one can be his teacher, plus he holds Dr. Rhino's token in his hand, so he can naturally come and go freely.

I haven't seen Han Ling and Wei Dan for a while, and I miss them inexplicably.

Back at his residence, Ji Qing saw that Han Ling and Wei Dan were practicing riding and archery under Chen Shuozhen's teaching, but he didn't expect to see him for a while, but this Chen Shuozhen was getting stronger and stronger.

"Huh, loyal minister!" Han Ling's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

"You're both here? Ji Qing smiled.

"Why did you come back all of a sudden? ”

"Oh, everyone in the school palace says that my qualifications are too rare, and no one can be my teacher, so I can only find a way to solve this problem by myself. Ji Qing shrugged helplessly.

"So, you can take leave to go down the mountain, right?" Chen Shuozhen said as he looked after the horses.

"That's right. Ji Qing replied.

"Your recent situation, the Ling Mansion has already understood, do you want to tell them?"

"I'm coming down this time to talk about this. ”

"What's the matter, do you want to hide it from us?" Han Ling scratched her head.

So, Ji Qing told Han Ling and Wei Dan about Wei Taiyi.

"I see, that person named Wei Taiyi actually offered 12,000 gold to buy your heart's blood, and you actually cheated others with the second son of Ling Mansion?"

"So, I went down the mountain this time with me six thousand gold, and I want to store it in case I need it. Ji Qing said.

"Why do you have to bring so much down the mountain?"

"You are stupid, Ji Qing brought ten thousand taels of gold in the school palace, can others not be suspicious and greedy? I heard that there are many people in this school palace who rely on family power and connections to enter, and I think this Wei Taiyi should also be one of them. Wei Dan said.

"As soon as you say this, I suddenly remembered, isn't that guy surnamed Wei? I have heard that some nobles with the surname Wei are from the Sanmiao lineage, a descendant of Chiyou, and they are a branch of Chiyou's bloodline. ”

"Chu State is also good at witchcraft, it is said that there is a kind of witchcraft that can use the blood of Jiuli to stimulate the bloodline of the Sanmiao people, so that their bloodline can be returned to ancient times and purified......"

"Although there have been cases of failure due to impure blood, it is more likely to add peculiarity to the qualifications, and the horses become horses, and the tigers and leopards have wings. ”

"Is it so powerful?" Ji Qing was suddenly a little surprised, it seemed that he had underestimated the usefulness of Jiuli's assets before.

At this time, Ling Hao was busy eating breakfast, and by the way, he was thinking about what to write in the evening to pass the time.

A bowl of clear soup noodles is a very good appetizer to eat, the so-called clear soup, as the name suggests, is basically without condiments, especially condiments that are easy to color the noodle soup, such as soy sauce, cooking wine, broth, red oil, etc.

The white noodles and clear soup with a little side dish are light and refreshing, which is very suitable for those who like and need to eat light food, and can replenish the body with a certain amount of carbohydrates.

Pickled cabbage is one of the most common stored foods in the cold northern regions.

While marinating, freeze until the soup freezes thinly on ice. It has a flavor that is neither salty nor spicy, and it is a high-quality kimchi made with a variety of seasonings.

After half a month's effort, after a period of publicity and well-designed cover art, "Yue Nu Sword" has been spread in Luoyi City through Su Qian's efforts, and the price is relatively close to the people, even if you don't have money, you can find those gentlemen who bought the text of "Yue Nu Sword" to read it to them.

Now, even the peddlers and pawns in Luoyi City know that Ah Qing, a girl from Dianyue, easily poked the eyes of the swordsmen of the Wu Kingdom with a bamboo stick.

As for "Seven Weapons", Ling Hao has not polished it yet, because his memory is relatively vague, and many places are inconsistent, he still needs to think about it carefully, and it is estimated that it will take at least a month to complete.

Well, it's better to put it there for now.

He's ready to write a book of horror.

After thinking about it, he took a look at Liu Yiqing's "Youminglu".

"Youminglu", also known as "Youminglu" and "Netherworld", is a strange collection of strange Zhiwei, written by Liu Yiqing Jimen of the Southern Song Dynasty, 30 volumes, the original book has been lost.

However, Mr. Lu Xun's "Ancient Hook Sinking" contains 265 stories. "Zhou Yi Dictionaries" contains, "It is the reason why you know the secret." "Note" is "gloomy, tangible and intangible images." ”

The ghosts and spirits recorded in the book are fickle, which is in line with this meaning, so it is named.

There are many stories in the book that are the same as "The Biography of Lies", "Sou Shen Ji" and "Sou Shen Postscript".

In the book, for example, the story of Liu Ruanzhao entering Tiantai Mountain and meeting a fairy has been widely circulated, the story of Pang A and Shi's female soul meeting is similar to the plot of Tang Dynasty's "Soul Leaving Story", and the story of the resurrection of Xu Xuanfang's daughter in Guangping Taishou is the prototype of the ability of "Peony Pavilion". "Youminglu" is similar to the author's "New Words of the World", which is also compiled according to the old sayings of the predecessors, not a personal creation, so there are many stories that are the same as "The Biography of Lie", "Sou Shen Ji" and "Sou Shen Postscript".

The Tang people also used the information in the compilation of the Book of Jin.

Many of these works have increased markedly, some of them have reached more than 1,000 words; many of them have twists and turns in their plots, and the images of gods and monsters are humane, amiable, and extremely realistic; and the narratives of many of them have the characteristics of lyrical and freehand poetry, and some are interspersed with literati poems, so that the works are full of poetic and picturesque feelings.

It can be seen that "Youminglu" has set a precedent and is so advanced.

War, death, disease, and hunger are the themes repeated in the book, "The old city of Le'an County has been in turmoil, the people are starving to death, the dead are filling the ground, and every time the sky is cloudy and rainy, I hear the groaning and sighing, and the sound is deaf to the ears", "The rebellion of Jin Yongjia, the county has no owner, and the strong and the weak are violent." There is a woman in Yiyang County, surnamed Peng Ming'e, with more than ten parents and younger brothers, who were attacked by Changsha thieves...... E, with the thief. The thief drove him to the stream and killed him.

E looked up to the sky and shouted: 'Emperor Tianning has a god, why am I sinning' and should be so. Because of running to the mountain, the mountain is open, and E will not come back", "in the middle of the Jin Taiyuan, thousands of people died of illness in the county" and other descriptions are very prominent in the book.

There are more than 80 articles describing all kinds of deaths, and one of them even says that the people of Yingchuan took refuge in other counties because of the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, and there were seven or eight-year-old young girls who could not go far and were abandoned in dilapidated ancient mounds.

The theme of marriage and love is also an important part of "Youminglu", and there are more than 40 articles, including god love, ghost love, and shemale love.

The Confucian idea of loyalty to the monarch is often expressed, for example, one of which talks about Yanghu, in order to maintain his loyalty to the emperor, he did not hesitate to dig his own tomb, resulting in the death of his son.

Deference is also highly regarded, such as in the book Wang Ming'er published the view that "those who want to be blessed are just and obedient, loyal and filial, and free from anger, and will be good and endless". Metaphysical ideas are also reflected from time to time, such as the 156th article about "Jin Yanzhou Thorn Shi Peiguo Song Chuzong, taste to buy a long singing chicken, love to raise even, always pet the window, the chicken then as a human language, and the sect to talk about, very mysterious, all day long, the sect of the sect because of the great progress of the "sect and the chicken day and night talk about the funny story of the Xuan Dynasty from the side reflects the prosperity of the Xuan Feng at that time.

There are also many chapters that show religious thoughts, such as the 253rd chapter of the "Rakshasa" that "there was a country in the Song Dynasty, which was close to the Rakshasas, and the Rakshasa entered the country in number, and the cannibalism was excessive, and the king and the Rakshasa agreed to give people to them on a regular basis by each family, and there was an only son of the Buddhist family who should do it, because his family believed in Buddhism, and his son was powerful with the power of the Buddha, and the ghost could not be approached, and he was avoided."

In general, the genres of the stories in "Youminglu" include geographical objects, miscellaneous histories and miscellaneous biographies, and talking about Buddhism and Taoism. Most of these works are short and concise, lacking in detail, but the descriptions are elegant and delicate.

Poems are also quoted in chapters such as "Song of the Underwater Strings", "Cai Ling Girl", "Tanuki Sutra", "Guo Changsheng", "Fei Sheng", "Chen Ardeng", "Fish Belly Danwen" and "Fangshan Pavilion Charm". "Youminglu" inherits the traditional theme of fairies and monsters, but there are also innovations, especially in the humanization of ghosts and monsters, which makes the work more realistic.

In addition, many of the stories in "Youminglu" have become a source of material for later writers.

For example, "Liu Chen Ruan Zhao" has been continuously embedded in poetry by later generations of literati, such as Zhang Ling's "Youxian Cave" in the Tang Dynasty and "Liu Chen Ruan Zhao Strayed into the Peach Blossom Spring" by Wang Ziyi at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

The theme of "Pillow Dream" had a greater impact on later generations, such as Tang Shen Jiji's "Pillow in the Pillow", Yuan Ma Zhiyuan's "Handan Dao Province Enlightenment Huangliang Dream", Tang Xianzu's "Handan Dream" in the Ming Dynasty, and Pu Songling's "Continuation of Huangliang" in the Qing Dynasty all inherited this theme.

In addition, "Life and Death Marriage" is the prototype of the story of Tang Xianzu's "Peony Pavilion"; the story of Pang A and Shi's daughter is the source of Tang Chen Xuanyou's "Soul Breaking" and Yuan Zheng Guangzu's "Mi Qing Locks the Soul of a Chinese Girl"; and works such as "Golden Bull" and "Chun Yujin" also had an impact on Tang legends......

Although Ling Hao is a little sorry for the original author Liu Yiqing for writing "Youminglu" now, this is all to make a little foreshadowing for his future.

If he can, he wants to take advantage of this time to radiate these easy-to-understand anthologies to the whole world as much as possible.

Some things, some helplessness, can be expressed with the help of the reader, it just depends on whether the reader has the mind to study it carefully.
