Chapter 301: Tanuki for Prince (Second Update)

"Liu Yifan?"

An Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes were suspicious, "Xiao Chen, have you always wanted me to see Liu Yifan, so that's why you said such a thing?" ”

"Don't lie to me, you know what the result of lying to me is."

Chen Beixuan hurriedly said: "Master, where does the apprentice dare to lie to you, even if you give the disciple ten dares, the disciple will not dare to lie to you!" After all, if you lie to you once, the disciple will have to pay ten years of skill, and the price is too heavy! ”

"The disciple really thinks that this person is a little similar to Liu Yifan... No, it's not just a point, it should be more and more like it, it's just that Liu Yifan has short hair, and this person has long hair. ”

When An Ruoxi heard this, she became curious.

"Then I'm going to see the true face of that Liu Yifan's Lushan."

At the same time, I thought to myself, if this garbage is really like what Xiao Chen said, it looks very similar to the owner, hmph, then don't blame me for being ruthless, I have to peel off his face!

How can the appearance of the master be insulted by these ordinary people?

Even if it looks like it, it doesn't work!

Chen Beixuan immediately said: "That apprentice will take you over now, he should live in the Su Family Inn now!" ”

So the two quickly came to the Su Family Inn, checked in, and inquired about Liu Yifan's whereabouts.

But when I inquired, I found that Liu Yifan was not in the inn now, and as for where he went, the people in this store were not clear.

It turned out that after having lunch at noon today, Liu Yifan and Zheng Xin'er, Fang Yunyao, Qin Wufeng and others went to the Cat Valley twenty miles away from Sujia Ancient Town.

Cat Valley is a famous attraction in the ancient town community of S City.

It was a large valley with nine small villages scattered around.

Miraculously, eight of these nine small villages actually formed a formal Bagua pattern, and the ninth village was in the center of the Bagua pattern, and it was also the center of the Cat Valley. It's called Plum Blossom Village.

In this valley, cats can be seen everywhere, and in every village, the number of cats is even several times greater than the number of villagers.

The villagers in Cat Valley have a custom that they love cats as their lives.

They spend a lot of time and energy on cats every day, feeding them, bathing them, and giving them tools to play with.

Of course, these efforts have also been richly rewarded, and the villagers in Cat Valley have hundreds of thousands of incomes because of these cats every year. Because these cats drive the tourism here.

The people of Cat Valley love cats, in fact, it has been a traditional custom for more than a thousand years.

This custom has been left to the present, and has even become an intangible cultural heritage under national key protection, and there will be a cat festival on the third day of February of the lunar calendar every year.

On that day, the cats of the entire Cat Valley would gather in the plum blossom village in the center of the valley, and I don't know why.

Because of this spectacle, this day attracts several times more tourists than usual.

Liu Yifan didn't want to go out for a walk, because he felt that there was nothing interesting near Sujia Ancient Town.

But when he heard Cat Valley, he changed his mind.

Could it be that the nine-life kitten lives in Cat Valley?

Liu Yifan thought for a moment, when he used the power of his divine sense to locate the black cat that manipulated Yang Yidao, he was indeed in a small village.

The location of the small village seems to be near here.

That nine-life kitten Liu Yifan is not very interested, what he is interested in now is the queen of cats that the nine-life kitten said.

I don't know if I can see the queen of cats in this cat valley.

The four of them arrived at the entrance of Cat Valley in an off-road vehicle.

In order to protect the original ecological landscape in Cat Valley, the local tourism bureau prohibits the construction of roads in Cat Valley, and even does not allow the construction of new houses and the development of new tourism industries.

So now, they can only hike into Cat Valley.

As soon as I got out of the car, I saw several cats lying on a large rock at the entrance to Cat Valley.

"What a beautiful cat!"

Zheng Xin'er saw that she had been a fat orange cat, and she loved it very much, and couldn't help but take a picture with her mobile phone.

"Meow!"

The orange cat suddenly bared its teeth and howled, and then jumped straight off the rocks and scurried into the jungle of Cat Valley.

"What's the matter with the cat?" Zheng Xin'er looked confused, just to take a photo, why did the orange cat react so much?

Qin Wufeng smiled and explained, "Miss Zheng, in this Cat Valley, you can't take pictures. ”

"If you take a picture, your phone will definitely be stolen by the cat before you know it."

"The cat's behavior just now is just a warning to you."

Zheng Xin'er looked surprised, "There is such a magical thing?" ”

"Isn't it possible that these cats are human?"

Fang Yunyao said at this time: "Hehe, I have already taken a picture of it, I don't believe it, my mobile phone will be stolen." ”

"Cats are not monkeys, how can they steal?"

Qin Wufeng took a look, and sure enough, Fang Yunyao also took a photo of the orange cat just now.

In the photo, the orange cat has a fierce look in his eyes, staring at this side, which is very weird.

Qin Wufeng laughed dryly, "Miss Fang, what I'm saying is not a joke, your mobile phone will definitely be lost later." ”

"I advise you to hurry up that USB flash drive now and copy out all the important documents in your phone."

Fang Yunyao didn't believe in evil, and said stubbornly: "I don't believe that I keep my mobile phone in my hand, and those cats can steal my mobile phone!" ”

Seeing that Fang Yunyao was so persistent, Qin Wufeng couldn't say anything more. Anyway, it's not his mobile phone that is going to be lost, so why waste saliva?

The four of them entered the Valley of Cats, and Qin Wufeng made a guest tour guide, introducing everyone to the history of the Valley of Cats while taking everyone sightseeing.

"There is the earliest documentary record about the Valley of Cats, is the Song Dynasty's "Folk History", the record says that during the period of Song Renzong, the Valley of Cats has a considerable scale, at that time in the center of the Valley of Cats, there is a huge stone cat statue, 72 meters high, one meter higher than the Leshan Giant Buddha. However, the stone cat sculpture was damaged later, and the specific reason is not recorded in historical materials. During the Ming Dynasty, the villagers of Cat Valley established the current Plum Blossom Village in the place where the stone cat was originally sculpted. ”

"Plum Blossom Village has the most cats, at least several thousand."

"And the cats in Meihua Village are the quietest, the most orderly, whether it is eating, or basking in the sun, or playing, there will be no cat fighting, other villages are different, you can often see other cats fighting for territory."

Zheng Xin'er listened carefully while sightseeing.

And Fang Yunyao didn't do anything, she had already taken photos at the entrance of Cat Valley, so now she simply continued to take pictures with her mobile phone, anyway, she kept holding the mobile phone in her hand, she didn't believe that the mobile phone would be stolen.

In the cat valley, the small bridge and flowing water, the ancient road west wind, the ancient village chicken, the mountains and forests are secluded, and the environment is very good.

It's just that you can see cats everywhere here, or in the grass, or on the side of the road, or basking in the sun on the rocks, or curling up in the trees to sleep.

When you walk by, those cats will look back at you, and their eyes are very indifferent, but a little weird.

Qin Wufeng continued to explain:

"I don't know if you have heard of the allusion of "Tanuki for the Prince"?"

Zheng Xin'er replied: "I've heard of it, this allusion is very famous, and it is explained in "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness". ”

Zheng Xin'er has a big hobby, that is, she likes to read the chapters of the Ming and Qing dynasties, so she naturally knows the allusion of the tanuki changing the prince.

She said:

"The story is basically like this, when the first queen of Song Zhenzong died, Concubine Liu and Concubine Li were pregnant, and in that case, whoever gave birth to a son could be established as the main palace. Concubine Liu was jealous of Concubine Li for a long time, and was afraid that Concubine Li would be made the queen after giving birth to a child, so she made a plan with the head of the palace to buy a midwife, and when Concubine Li lost too much blood during childbirth, she exchanged a tanuki with a furnished tanuki for the prince.

After replacing the crown prince, Concubine Liu ordered the palace maid Kou Zhu to strangle the prince, but Kou Zhu was kind-hearted and couldn't bear it, so she handed over the prince to the eunuch Chen Lin, and Chen Lin accidentally gave the prince to the Eight Sages King to raise. After Song Zhenzong saw the skinned tanuki, he thought that Concubine Li had given birth to a freak, so he sent her to the cold palace.

Soon, Concubine Liu gave birth to a son and was named the crown prince, and she also became the queen mother, but the prince died of illness six years later, and Song Zhenzong had no heirs, so he accepted the son of the Eight Sages King, that is, the prince who was replaced that year, as a righteous son, and made him a righteous son.

By chance, the prince and his biological mother Concubine Li in the cold palace met, mother and son nature, both of them were teary-stained, but the two did not recognize each other at that time. After Empress Liu learned the news, she was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so she killed Kou Zhu, who did not kill the prince back then, and slandered in front of Zhenzong. The little eunuch Yu Zhong was loyal to Concubine Li, secretly let Concubine Li go, and instead of martyrdom, another eunuch Qin Feng secretly took Concubine Li out of the palace and sent her to Chenzhou, in order not to let other people know, Qin Feng also chose to commit suicide.

Concubine Li couldn't live in Chenzhou, and ended up begging for a living. At that time, Bao Gong happened to release grain in Chenzhou, and by coincidence learned the truth, so he pretended to be Concubine Li as his biological mother and brought her back to Kaifeng. At this time, Song Zhenzong had died, and Concubine Li's own son became the emperor, known as Song Renzong in history. Bao Gong took the opportunity to enter the palace to congratulate Empress Di on her birthday, and brought Concubine Li into the palace, so that Concubine Li was able to meet her biological son Song Renzong and tell the truth of the year. Liu, who became the queen mother, knew that the conspiracy was exposed and committed suicide. Bao Gong played a major role in this case and was appointed prime minister by Song Renzong. ”

"The story of the tanuki changing the prince is probably like this."

After hearing this, Qin Wufeng nodded in admiration, "Miss Zheng really deserves to be knowledgeable and talented, and she knows so much about it. ”

"The stone cat sculpture in the center of Cat Valley was built during the time of Song Renzong."

At this time, he changed his words and said:

"And there is another version of the story of this tanuki changing the prince, do you want to hear it?"
