Chapter 66: A Thousand Years of Secrets
PS: I only stayed on the home page for three days before the new book period, which is really boring, and since then it has all relied on your strong recommendation, all kinds of requests!
……
In the hospital, the smell of disinfectant water is strong.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and Yu Dazhi and several other brothers and sisters of the Yu family had been waiting outside the ward for about two hours, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised and anxious, and they didn't know what their grandfather was doing in the ward.
Yu Dacheng saw that the time was late, so he said: "Big brother, eldest sister, second sister, you and your brother-in-law should go back first, the second sister hasn't eaten yet, just keep me here!" ”
Uncle is a little relieved about the affairs of the family, after all, the people in Xiaotang Village and Hujiazhai are making trouble today, and the movement is too big, so he has to go home to see the situation.
Hearing Yu Dacheng say this, he nodded, and said to the eldest aunt and second aunt: "Feng Jiao, Feng Mei, you all come to my village first, Xiaoman, you go to change your mother for dinner, and you will stay with your mother at your brother's ...... at night."
Saying that, the uncle looked at the little sister Yu Fengling again, and said, "Little sister, you came all the way from Yannan Province, and you are probably tired after a day of driving, so go back to her house with your fourth sister-in-law and have a good night's rest!" ”
The uncle is the eldest in the family, and after making arrangements, several younger sisters also listened to him, so they went out of the hospital together.
Zhang Yuelian was worried about her son coming home and hadn't eaten, so she looked at her husband and said: "Ah Cheng, the food at home is still hot, I don't think Xiaohu will come out for a while, or you drive Xiaohu's car and send me and Lingmei back by the way, you bring the rice here again, let Xiaohu eat it quickly!" ”
"Okay, let's go!"
Yu Dacheng thought about it, so he nodded.
Grandpa specially ordered them not to go in, there must be something important to explain to Yu Xiaohu, they didn't dare to rush into the ward, just sent a text message to Yu Xiaohu to tell the matter, Yu Xiaohu sent another text message out, saying that the car had been unlocked, and it was directly electronically started and drove away, and several people left one after another.
……
At this time, it was very quiet in the ward.
Grandpa was telling Yu Xiaohu about an ancient legend, and Yu Xiaohu also listened very carefully.
The beginning of this story takes place in the last years of the Southern Song Dynasty, when the young emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty fled from the sea with his ministers under the advance of the Yuan army.
At that time, after they fled to the sea, they encountered a spectacle on the way, and saw all the creatures in the sea floating on the sea, but none of them died, and someone saw a curtain of water rising into the sky in the distance with colorful light, like a door, thinking that it was the gate of divine light descended by the blessing of God.
It's just that when they wanted to pursue the gate of divine light, they encountered a storm at sea, when a huge whirlpool suddenly rolled up several feet above the sea near there, and some ships were rumored to have been swallowed up by the whirlpool, but the ship guarding the little emperor was lucky to escape, and the story of the gate of the god kingdom spread with the survivors.
Then, ten years after the fall of the Song Dynasty, when Kublai Khan sensed that his life was near, he accidentally heard the rumor story of this gate of the kingdom of God, thinking that it was the gate of immortality opened by the Immortal Heaven, which would make him immortal and become the Emperor of Growth, so he immediately secretly ordered his loyal subordinates to go to sea to find it.
It's just that these subordinates have not found the so-called gate of immortality for several years at sea, some of them died of shipwrecks or escaped, and some of them were afraid of being killed, so they found materials from many sources and ordered people to refine a pair of bowls and presented them to Kublai Khan, saying that they were gifts from the Kingdom of Immortality, and Kublai Khan liked the pair of bowls very much at that time, thinking that they were the bowls of eternal life.
After the death of Kublai Khan, his descendants competed for the throne of Khan, and the struggle continued, the pair of bowls of immortality disappeared, and later after Wenzong, who had been exiled in the coastal area, ascended the throne, it was rumored that he had obtained the pair of bowls and went to the country of immortality, and he was the real son of destiny, and several of his sons sent people to the sea to search for the throne.
At that time, some people did see the strange scene that happened on the sea, the Mongols thought that it was the door of immortality opened by the immortal sky, and they could live forever when they entered the country of immortality, but the Han people at that time had not forgotten the hatred of the Yashan country, but they thought that it was the door of divine punishment opened by the heavens, which was used to punish the emperors who harmed the common people.
It was not until the Yongle period after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty that Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, heard the legend of the appearance of this gate of the kingdom of God among the people, because Jing was difficult to seize the throne and always gave him a psychological shadow, Zhu Di secretly ordered the palace agents to hunt down and kill the rumor spreaders, so that this rumor was banned.
Although Zhu Di banned this secret, there were still very few people who knew about this secret, and at that time, the ancestor of the Yu family was one of them.
It's just that after Zhu Di learned about this secret, as the emperor, how could he not be moved, and naturally hoped to be immortal and become an immortal emperor, so he ordered his guards to secretly visit and kill those who knew about this secret, and at the same time sent the eunuch Zheng He to the sea, one of the main purposes was to find the gate of the kingdom of God in the sea.
At that time, the ancestors of the Yu family were afraid that the Jinyi Wei would secretly discover that he knew the secrets of those secrets, so he followed Zheng He's fleet to the sea several times, and later recorded some of what he saw and heard at sea in his later years, and the secrets were also passed down by the ancestors of the Yu family in the form of oral narration.
However, the ancestors of the Yu family died earlier than Zheng He at that time, and the second generation in the Xuanzong period, after returning to China with the body of Zheng He who died of illness in the return fleet, he privately inquired and collected some information and materials on the Ichthyosaurus.
At the same time, it was also learned that when Zheng He went to sea to find the gate of the kingdom of God, after escaping a shipwreck, he really learned the general location of the gate of the kingdom of God, and recorded the information on a piece of jade and left it to his cronies to secretly submit to the emperor.
As for whether Zheng He's cronies at that time handed over the jade that recorded the secret of the Gate of the Kingdom of God to the emperor, no one knew, and the second-generation ancestor of the Yu family had no way to inquire about any news.
Since then, successive emperors have imposed a sea ban, and several generations of ancestors of the Yu family have also been dormant, and the Ichthyosaurus and the secret story have been passed down to the world.
Until the period of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, the government was **, the Japanese were rampant, the border was lax, and the emperor liked the art of Huang Lao, wanted to cultivate longevity, and ignored the government.
In order to cater to the emperor's preferences, he offered the jade information that Zheng He had left, and the emperor was secretly happy when he learned the news of the gate of the kingdom of God, so he ordered the sailor to go to sea to search in the name of fighting the Japanese invaders.
At that time, the ninth generation ancestor of the Yu family was in the naval division of the military position, very brave, and good at maritime affairs, after the invasion of the Japanese invaders, the emperor's personal guards for self-protection, the ancestors of the Yu family left by his side as a guard, at that time he saw the emperor around the guard of the piece of jade, and also from the emperor's personal guard step by step to know the location of the gate of the kingdom of God.
However, after they repelled the Japanese and came to that sea area, they did find strange lights and shadows during their exploration, and they were immediately considered to be the gate of the kingdom of God, but in front of the light and shadow, there was a mysterious floating object on the sea that was blocked there, like a guard.
The floating object was like a reef island, and it even had hard tentacles like stones, which was very strange, and any ship or creature that touched it would surely die, and it would soon be swallowed up and disappear by the huge waves caused there.
But in the process of escaping, many ships were swallowed up by the huge waves rolled up by the sea devil, and the ancestors of the Yu family used their swords to stab the tentacles of the sea devil in the process of defending the emperor's personal guard, but they were injured by the sea devil's countershock and almost broke an arm.
Later, after the ancestor of the Yu family fled back, according to the secret legend of the ancestor, he guessed that after the emperor knew about it, he would definitely slaughter the witnesses at that time, so he immediately fled to hide in the mountains.
Sure enough, after the sailor returned, he was secretly placed under house arrest by the emperor and interrogated about the sea, and then all these witnesses were secretly executed, and the emperor's personal guards were not spared.
But since then, the nine generations of ancestors of the Yu family found that their bodies had changed, and they had lost their fertility, and the Yu family was already a single lineage, with only one male, so the nine generations of ancestors of the Yu family took their families to live away from home, and lived for ninety years.
Later, the descendants of the Yu family experienced the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the establishment of the Qing Dynasty.
However, the fleet's exploration failed, and only one of the troops returned alive at that time, and the survivor also recounted the scene at that time, saying that he also encountered the fleet of the Japanese Korits also exploring there, and the scene of the same annihilation.
Subsequently, the survivor died within a month.
However, less than three months after the survivor's death, the victim's tomb was stolen, and when the government pursued the tomb robbers, they obtained from the tomb robbers a piece of jade that had been stolen from the survivor's private possession and used as a burial object.
At that time, after the ancestor of Jinshi knew the news, he suspected that it was the piece left by Zheng He in the Ming Dynasty, which was privately stored by the survivor as a funeral item.
But the jade was priceless, and before the ancestor of the Yu family could make a move, he was privately swallowed by his top boss, and honored the governor of the three provinces at that time, and finally the jade containing Zheng He's information was missing.
Since then, the Yu family has been defeated and persecuted in the political arena, and it has also declined.
Until the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, the seventeenth generation of the Yu family became the helmsman of the sailor fleet, and had privately explored that sea area, and there was no longer the so-called gate of the divine kingdom and the sea demon guards in that sea area, and only some fragments of ships that had been bombarded by cannons were left at that time.
After that, in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, after the Yu family was completely reduced to fishermen for several generations, due to the difficulty of survival, the secret did not have much significance to explore in those generations, but it was still tenaciously passed down with Yulongzhi until Grandpa Yu Xiaohu.
……
Grandpa had just had surgery, and when he recalled those secrets and told them, it was still very slow and laborious.
However, it took more than three hours, and grandpa recalled that he still told the whole story to Yu Xiaohu, because some places were not clear and the story was a little brief, but some of the key points were not forgotten.
After Yu Xiaohu heard this complete story, although he despised the successive emperors for the so-called ethereal gate of the kingdom of God to kill innocents, and even wanted to enjoy this secret exclusively, they finally disappeared in the long river of history, but this secret has been handed down, which is really a great irony.
But he also had to sigh at the depth of the perseverance of the ancestors of the Yu family, and it took several generations of exploration and practice to get to his grandfather, but he still did not solve the thousand-year-old mystery.
However, Yu Xiaohu had a faint intuition, he felt that this secret would be solved here for him, and it would officially come to an end!
