The next day, Hong Tianbao left Yuanjiazhai and traveled to the "hometown of Wujin...... of the mountains, west.

Mountain and West is one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation, with a long history, a gathering of humanities, and a rich historical and cultural heritage. So far, it has a written history of 3,000 years, and is known as the "Museum ......of Ancient Chinese Culture".

The Xihedu culture and Dingcun cultural sites show that human beings have lived here as early as the Paleolithic Age. The legendary ancestors of the Chinese nation, the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, both used Shanxi as the main area of activity. The three great men of Chinese prehistory, Yao, Shun and Yu, all established their capitals in Shanxi. The Xia Dynasty, the first slave state power in Chinese history, was also established in southern Shanxi.

Since then, the mountains and the west have always been the focus of the rulers. In ancient times, it was known as the Central Plains, and in agriculture, it had a very high status and always played the role of the granary of the national treasury. In modern times, it has become an energy center because of its abundant coal resources.

On this Loess Plateau, countless legendary clans have been derived, among which the Yang family is a very famous one, which is one of the top ten families in ancient China.

You may not know that the mountain and west are the birthplace of the Yang family, but now the gathering place of the Yang family is the hinterland of Henan next door.

"God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know!" Hongnong Yang family, another legendary family in the history of Zhongtong.

Hongnong Yang's family, from the Eastern Han Dynasty Taiwei Yang Zhen. Yang Zhen is called "Confucius of Kansai". The allusion of "four knowledges" comes from this "innocent official".

His sons Yang Bing, Sun Yangci, and great-grandson Yang Biao can all inherit the legacy of Zhengong and are all officials to Taiwei, and they are the "four generations and three dukes" of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In addition, Yang Zhen's fifth son, a descendant of Yang Feng, a famous general in the Three Kingdoms, is also a high-ranking official. From "Three Yang of the Western Jin Dynasty"; To the Yang Bo brothers of the Northern Wei Dynasty, they were all prominent for a while.

Pushing this family to the extreme was Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, who completed the second great unification in Chinese history. In addition to the imperial family of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Su, the Duke of Yueguo, and his son Yang Xuangan are also famous figures in this family.

Even after the fall of the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty's "Li Wuwei Yang" four surnames married the "Eleventh Prime Minister" family in the political group, Tang Taizong Yang Concubine, Wu Zetian's mother Yang Family, Tang Xuanzong Yang Empress, Yang Guifei, and many Yang horses, etc., everywhere show the infinite glory of this first family in Kansai. And the Yang family generals who were full of loyalty in the Song Dynasty are even more singable and crying!

Hongnong Yang's civil and military skills, not only the martial arts are powerful, but also many talented people have emerged, such as Yang Xiu, Yang Jiong, Yang Ningshi, Yang Shi, Yang Wanli.

And in the Ming Dynasty, there were countless people with Yang names. Among the top ten ministers of the Ming Dynasty, there were two ministers of Yang. Among them, perhaps the most famous is the "Three Yangs" headed by Yang Shiqi, which are Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Qi.

The three of them all served in Yongle, Hongxi, Xuande, and the orthodox four dynasties, and successively served as important ministers of the Taiwan Cabinet. The content of the poems and essays in the style of Taige, represented by Sanyang, mostly sings praises and whitewashes reality; In art, the pursuit of elegance and mediocrity is mediocre. From Yongle to Chenghua, the literary world of the Ming Dynasty was almost monopolized by the Taige style. The people of the time said that Yang Shiqi had learning, Yang Rong had talent, and Yang Bo had elegant exercises. And to the place where the residence is, called Shiqi as Xiyang, Rong as Dongyang, Yang Bo from the Nanjun people because of the name Nanyang.

In addition, Sanyang also refers to the Chinese people, the founding general of the People's Liberation Army, the general surnamed Yang, namely Yang Chengwu, Yang Dezhi, and Yang Yong. They are the outstanding tacticians of our army.

Or some people will say that the reason why there were many celebrities with the surname Yang in the Ming Dynasty was because the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was surnamed Zhu, and the sheep (Yang) did not conflict with the food of Zhu (pig). Actually, this is just a historical coincidence.

After thousands of years of ups and downs, today, Yang has become a well-deserved top ten surnames, but the most orthodox line has declined. ..., on the banks of the rolling Yellow River, this branch of the Yang clan formed more than a dozen villages that stretched continuously, with tens of thousands of people.

Hong Tianbao entered the deepest Yang's ditch, although it is located on the Loess Plateau, but it is an ancient wood, and there is a thriving scene everywhere. This contrasts with the old buildings in the village, making you feel like you've stepped back in time.

As soon as he entered the village, before he could see all this, he was blocked by a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man spoke: "Destined people, please here!" This man seemed to know that Hong Tianbao was coming. This surprised Hong Tianbao and was full of doubts.

"Someone who is destined? Why? Do you know me? Hong Tianbao asked suspiciously.

I saw that the middle-aged man smiled and said, "I don't know!" Our patriarch knows that you will come, and as for the specific details, you will naturally know when you meet our patriarch. ”

Hong Tianbao followed suspiciously, looking at the scene in the village, and asking some questions to the middle-aged man. However, this middle-aged man always smiled and did not speak, which made Hong Tianbao extremely curious about their patriarch.

There is an ancient ancestral hall in the village, which enshrines the famous figures of the Yang family over the ages. The entire ancestral hall is hidden in the lush woods, and if you look closely, you will be shocked by this simple and magnificent ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall covers an area of more than 70 acres, and Yiran is a palace. Its walls are made of copper bricks made of pure copper, and the top tiles are countless green jade tiles, but the large pillars are silver pillars made of pure silver. These palaces made of copper bricks, jade tiles, and silver pillars are truly resplendent and visually striking.

Seeing Hong Tianbao's smacking expression, the uncle who led the way said with a smile: "Hehe! You are the first person with a foreign surname to enter our ancestral hall. ”

"Hasn't anyone ever discovered such a spectacular building before?" Hong Tianbao couldn't help asking. You must know that if this palace-like ancestral hall spreads, it will definitely cause the world to shake, and it is impossible to stay here in obscurity.

"Huh! If you look closely, don't you think this forest is strange? The uncle didn't answer the rhetorical question.

Hong Tianbao took a closer look and found that the entire forest was actually a natural hidden array, the array was in the ancestral hall, and it seemed that it could be controlled.

"Awesome!" Half a ring, Hong Tianbao spit out two words.

"Huh! You're amazing! is worthy of being a destined person, and he can see through it at a glance. The people in the village actually know the existence of this ancestral hall, but because the ancestral hall is the most sacred place of our Yang family, it is not a patriarch's lineage, so they are not allowed to enter. In addition, the clan rules are strict, people who know about this matter are silent, and very few people from the outside world come, so it is not surprising that no one knows! Uncle explained.

Hong Tianbao nodded, he faintly felt that the mysterious patriarch should also be a cultivator, otherwise how could he control this big array? And how did you know you were coming? ）
