If there were only one or two books about Zhang Xianzhong, Zhuang Yi might have read it, but there were dozens of books in a stack, all of which were about Zhang Xianzhong's life, which could not but attract his attention.

In the history books, Zhang Xianzhong's image is the leader of the peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and in the biography of the wild history, Zhang Xianzhong has become an out-and-out thug villain, rape/adultery, kidnapping, eating women's flesh, slaughtering the village, and slaughtering the city. It is said that Zhang Xianzhong's harem beauties are all glamorous/dressed on the upper body, and naked/naked on the lower half, which is convenient for him to be lewd/Xingyi, pull out/corpse hanging, and wash these women clean when they are tired of playing, and eat them in different ways. During the siege, the beauties would be stripped naked/naked and insulted at the city, or their heads would be cut off and the corpses would be planted upside down in the earth, and the women would be placed down/up, believing that this would suppress the artillery fire.

Zhuang Yi is skeptical of these terrifying rumors that people think they are convinced, most of the biographies come from the Qing Dynasty, the king is defeated, the history is written by the victors, the later dynasty repairs the history of the previous dynasty, to be fair and objective and completely, not to mention that Zhang Xianzhong is a peasant rebel army, according to the composition of the feudal dynasty, that is "anti-thief", "thief", even if Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates later fought against the Qing Dynasty with the Southern Ming, the Qing Dynasty's evaluation of the two will not rise to the same level.

Qing Dynasty compiled "Ming History, Zhang Xianzhong's Biography" and "Later Records" and other books, the credibility is very small, "Sin Weilu, Zhang Xianzhong's Biography" recorded that Zhang Xianzhong entered Shu, there were three killings, still credible, personally experienced Zhang Xianzhong's Sichuan Rebellion Fei Mi's "Desert Book" and Guang'an Ouyang Zhi's "Shu Police Record", because it is in the special historical stage of "text/prison", can not be trusted, if the original can be revealed, maybe a real Zhang Xianzhong can still be restored.

As for the famous Zhang Xianzhong's "Seven Killings Monument" in later generations, it is even more absurd, "All things and people are born, and people have nothing and heaven, kill!" I don't know when or where it started. Zhang Xianzhong did set up a monument, that was in 1644 when the founding of the Great Western Kingdom, that is, the seventeenth year of Ming Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong set up a "holy oracle tablet" in Guanghan, on the book "born all things and people, people have nothing and the sky, ghosts and gods are clear, think about themselves." "It was obviously to tell the world that people accumulate virtue and do good deeds for self-reflection, but when it was passed on to future generations, it became a bloody Seven Killings, and I was also deeply drunk.

Zhuang Yi also did not think that Zhang Xianzhong was a benevolent leader, the peasant uprisings in ancient times had limitations, and the slaughter of the city was, but the slaughter of Sichuan was questionable. If Zhang Xianzhong really killed to the point where there were almost no people in Sichuan, it would not take more than ten years for the Qing Dynasty to pacify Sichuan.

As for why the population of Sichuan and Shu plummeted from millions during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty to hundreds of thousands of people during the Shunzhi period of the early Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that the Manchu Qing Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, the rebel army, and the natural disasters and plagues were all meat grinders that led the Sichuan people to almost extinction.

There is a lot of controversy in the historiography of Zhang Xianzhong's "Entering Sichuan and Tushu", but another anecdote "Thousands of Ships Sink Silver" has great credibility.

It is no wonder that in the list of world treasures published in the World Almanac in 2oo2, the value of the treasure of Emperor Zhang Xianzhong of the Onishi Emperor can rank third in the world and the first in Asia.

"Thousands of ships sink silver" in Sichuan Pengshan Chronicles also recorded, in July 1646, Zhang Xianzhong took a thousand wooden boats, from Chengdu along the Min River, through the Pengshan River estuary, was attacked, the ships were burned, thousands of ships and silver sank to the bottom of the river. In April 2oo5, Peng Shan dug up a batch of official silver during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty on the riverbed of the "Tiger Beach" on the Minjiang River, and it seems that he also found evidence for the "sinking of silver by a thousand ships".

But whether it is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, or Yuan Shikai, the Japanese, or the Americans, no matter how diligently they seek Zhang Xianzhong's treasure, they can only find a little shadow of the treasure, and no one has seen the true face of this world-famous treasure.

The most famous information about the treasure is the ballad, "The stone ox is against the stone drum, the gold is ten thousand five, which one can know it, buy all the Chengdu Mansion." "At the beginning of 2o13, Chengdu dug out a stone beast in the ground, some people initially suspected that it was the clue "stone cow" in Zhang Xianzhong's treasure, but it was later confirmed that the stone beast came from two thousand years ago, and it was initially speculated that it was the stone rhinoceros used by Li Bing, the father of Dujiangyan in the Warring States Period, to calm the water, and it was gone. As for the heavy rain in Sichuan and the sea in Rongcheng a few months after the thousand-year-old stone beast was dug up, that is another story.

Zhuang Yi believes in the storage of Zhang Xianzhong's treasures, but thinks that they may not be in the same place, and He Laodao seems to think so, in addition to the popular places of treasure such as Pengshan Jiangkou and Rongcheng Chengdu, he also specially marked Qi Yueshan in the reading codex.

According to the record of "Qiyue Mountain Chronicles", more than 400 years ago, Qiyue Mountain was also called Qiyue Mountain, named because it has seven peaks, continuous arrangement such as the seven-star Beidou, but in 1647, it was renamed Qiyue Mountain. In "The Genealogy of the Qi Clan in Qi Yue Mountain", Zhuang Yi saw a rather thought-provoking clue - the ancestor of the Qi family was a general under Zhang Xianzhong.

The Qi clan of Qiyue Mountain has a history of nearly 400 years, and the family calendar can be traced back to 163o when Zhang Xianzhong gathered troops to revolt. In 1646, the Qing court sent troops into Sichuan, Zhang Xianzhong led the troops to fight with the Qing court, defeated, the ancestors of the Qi family and the army were separated, with the remnants and family members to Qiyue Mountain to avoid the disaster, settled down, and replaced "Qi" with "Qi", changed the name of the mountain to "Qiyue Mountain".

However, there is also a record in the "Chronicles of Qiyue Mountain", which writes that Zhang Xianzhong's army was defeated, his subordinates were coaxed, and several subordinates secretly swallowed a treasure, and hid in Qiyue Mountain in order to avoid Zhang Xianzhong and the Qing court's army. For more than 300 years, there have been several people who have gone to Qiyue Mountain to find treasures, but they have all returned in vain.

This account is located in the volume "Strange Tales", and the author must have regarded it as a hearsay. However, He Laodao seems to be serious, and almost all of his codex notes are related to these treasures.

I didn't expect He Laodao to be a money-loving guy. Zhuang Yi's hooves touched his cheeks and said, no wonder he carried a big bag into the mountains for more than ten days, and he dared to go to explore the treasure. It's a pity that my luck is really bad, and I haven't been able to find a name for myself after searching for more than 20 years. This room is full of stones or copper pots, and where is a piece of gold or silver?

Closing the reading codex, Zhuang Yi looked back at the first page of the codex. There is Zhang Xianzhong's two-cross oracle written by He Laodao himself - "All things and people are born in nature, people have nothing and heaven, ghosts and gods are clear, and they think about themselves." And in the "ghosts and gods are clear, think about themselves" on the eight characters circle the emphasis symbol, what is the intention?

When he was about to leave He Lao Daoist's house, seeing the shallow pig's hoof prints on the ground and the smashed locks, Zhuang Yi frowned, he was ready to restore his body, and he didn't think about cleaning up the mess by himself, but now he had a headache when the room was full of hoof prints.

A smart pig and a pig with a human soul are obviously not the same concept, and a smart pig may come to first aid, but will never make a special trip from the west of the village to the east of the village to smash the lock into the house to read a book. He's now eye-catching enough to stand out, and there's no need to add to it.

And after knowing He Laodao's true identity, he always had some strange feelings in his heart. A simple Taoist priest is not terrible, a Taoist priest with the title of biologist is worth considering, and the sixth sense told him to stay away from He Lao Dao as much as possible in the future.

Found a rag and wiped all the hoof prints, just as a playful sheep herder left the sheep to play by himself, Zhuang Yi drove more than a dozen goats into He Lao Taoist's house, tossed a mess, and then left with confidence. Anyway, when the sheep baby has had enough, he will come to take away his sheep and close the door to He Laodao casually.

On the way back to the pig-killing craftsman's house in Zhaixi, Zhuang Yi suddenly thought of one thing and scolded badly: he adjusted the order of the stones in the wooden box and did not restore them! He Laodao had been studying those stones, and it was impossible not to notice them. However, if he wants to run around the house full of sheep and cover his hoof prints early, He Laodao should not be a pig's hands and feet.

It's a pity that he is still too young, too simple, too stupid and naïve. How can a person become a scientist without a more serious personality and rigorous attitude?

He Laodao came back that afternoon, and happened to bump into the sheep herding baby going to his house to drive the goats. The goats in the room chewed the books as grass, and He Laodao jumped to his feet in anger and scolded the sheep herding baby to cry, but when he saw the stones in the wooden box, Sanzhang's anger instantly subsided - the stones had been moved, and obviously, this was the correct order.

took out a piece of candy and laughed at the sheep herder, driving him and his goats out of the door, and He Lao Daozai carefully searched the room. At first, he did think that the sheep had broken into the house, but it was clear from the smashed locks and the stones in the boxes that Yiqiē was a deliberate attempt to hide some traces.

After searching for nearly an hour, He Laodao finally found two fine and soft white hairs in the stacks of books. As a biologist, he naturally saw that this was not goat hair, and had several options in his mind, which eventually locked onto the pig.

Pig hair? He is a vegetarian, and there has never been such a thing as pork in the house, either it is pig hair brought in by a goat, or a pig has come, but the sheep's hoof prints on the ground are obvious, and there are no pig hoof prints at all, is this the trace that the other party wants to deliberately hide?

For some reason, he suddenly thought of the pig who could open the fence and write the word "human" and could give first aid. After the Burning of the Pig Demon incident, he met the pig several times, and every time he looked at the pig, he always felt strange, especially when he looked directly into its eyes. The pig will cover up the traces, which sounds like a fantasy topic, but if it is the pig, He Laodao chooses to believe that it is seventy percent suspicious.

If the answer is yes, then the stones in the box are the hands and feet of the pig. Can it read the lines?

At this time, the mobile phone rang, He Laodao took out his mobile phone and pressed it to answer, and a man's voice came from there.

"Dr. He, today should be the day you arrive at the base."

"Ah, I remembered halfway that I forgot to bring something, go home and get it, and I'll be at the base in the evening." He Lao said.

"I don't know how well you've studied the words on those stones."

He Laodao looked at the stone on the desk, and his eyes flashed: "There is no progress yet." There are still too few rocks with text, and there are no other documents to refer to, so I hope that more will be excavated in Pit 37. ”

"It's hard. We have been digging in Qiyue Mountain for more than 20 years, and it is not easy to get such a dozen pieces in the No. 32 pit. Mr. Qiao has been a little anxious recently, and he hopes that you can do your best to produce research results. ”

"Okay, I'll try."

He Laodao hung up the phone, the corners of his mouth raised a smile, and after staring at the stone texture for a few minutes, he reached out and moved a few pieces, returning the stone to its previous appearance.

He twisted the two pig hairs, and his face was thoughtful: "It seems that I have to go and see the pig after returning to the village." ”
