Chapter 325: Burning the rhino and shining the water
"The ability of his people is far beyond what we can imagine, and the Queen Mother of the West should be an ordinary person who can negotiate with her. In the past, if people in the world wanted to ask for God, they probably needed rumors about the Queen Mother of the West, so King Zhou Mu was named the Queen Mother of the West, thinking that God blessed him. β
The snow fell silently, reaching their ankles.
Wei Yi stared at Ziying's words, his brows gathered into a high hill, trying to find similar events in his memory, but he didn't know whether to agree or refute.
There is no shortage of coincidences in the world, and some are just coincidences. There are very few things, and it doesn't hurt to be in the dark.
But... If this darkness is controlled by "people", it is a major event, such as the death of the king of the country, the collapse of the land, the reversal of the sun and the moon... I don't know how many times bigger it is.
Perhaps everyone has hoped that God will help us solve the siege and God will administer justice for the injustices in the world.
If God really came and declared His reality to the world.
The first reaction of all people is not admiration, not worship, but fear... It is better to perish together than to be gone.
In the mouth, the God in the heart is just a statement that does not matter whether it exists or not.
"If that 'god' really wants to kill Qin, the king of Qin can have a countermeasure..."
Wei Yu's tone trembled, and his old face trembled involuntarily, this matter was not only worried about the child, but also worried about the people of the world.
"Countermeasures?" Ziying shook his head and sneered, "Wei Zhe thought that he was doing for the sky, so he bothered Mr. Wei Yu to beg Huang Shigong so that he could be the Queen Mother of the West." β
Wei Yi nodded heavily, "This matter is very important, if you need it, you can tell the old man, the old man can ask the hermit in the world for help, don't sit back and wait for death!" β
The child reached out to catch the snow, and then crushed and melted.
"Don't bother the hermit, Master Lingyan has told the widow." Ziying sighed, and then asked, "In the past, the curse technique of the people's wisdom was prevalent, and I am afraid that it was a means for those strange people to interfere with the world. Now the curse seems to be empty talk, it should be that the strange man does not want the world to find out about his traces. Mr. Wei Mi knows, how to find it in the future? β
"This," Wei thought vigorously brushing his beard, "I'm afraid that in troubled times, strange things will not be easily noticed." β
Ziying nodded, "In troubled times, there are many rumors, and it is also the best time to adulterate the truth. β
Wei Yi seemed puzzled, "The world has been in turmoil for three years, is there a time when it is even more chaotic than now?" β
"Naturally. It was not three years, but more than three hundred years, called the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. Ziying explained.
During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the world was in turmoil, the name was boring, and the book of Zhiwei prevailed. Ziyingben scoffed at such books, but if you think about it carefully, the ancients, the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the Zhiwei in each period are different. Although it may be due to the different national conditions of each period, the long-cherished wishes expressed by the strange authors are different. But without exception, there are inextricable links with history books.
In addition, there is no shortage of strange things when he is here, and that kind of strange things are more the same as those of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and I have to suspect that the so-called strange things are mixed with the truth.
"The country of later generations is also named after the Wei and Jin dynasties?" Wei Yi asked with a frown.
"It's more than that." Ziying said with a smile, "There are three families in the past, and three points in the world are in the Jin, and this 'underworld' has traces to follow." β
Wei Yu was unaware of the situation and asked, "What is the trace that King Qin is looking for?" β
"The cause of death of a famous general!" Ziying retracted his smile.
At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the eight kings rebelled, the national strength declined, and was finally destroyed by the Huns. Subsequently, the Jin people crossed to the south, the nephew of Situ Wenxian of the Wen family in Taiyuan, and Sima Wenqiao of the right Sima Wenqiao of Sikong Mansion went south to Jiangdong to support Sima Rui as the emperor, and he was the Yuan Emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Later, Wen Qiao pacified Wang Dun again, and Su Jun's rebellion became famous. The DPRK wanted Wen Qiao to assist the government, but Wen Qiao had no such intentions, so he returned to Jiangzhou. And that weird thing... It happened on the way back to Jiangzhou, which was also the cause of his death. β
Wen Qiao burned the rhino and died in the water.
"Book of Jin" volume 67: To Niu Zhuji, the water is unfathomable, there are many monsters under the clouds, and the rhino horn is destroyed and illuminated. Suddenly, I saw the water tribe covered with fire, strange shapes, or people in red clothes in a carriage. Qiao Qi's night dream said to himself: "Say goodbye to Jun Youming, what do you mean to take care of each other?" "It's very evil. Qiao first had a tooth disease, and then he pulled it out, and died before he reached the town due to a stroke, at the age of forty-two.
After Ziying finished speaking, Wei Yu pondered again.
"The cause of Wen Qiao's death was a stroke, and it seems to have nothing to do with things in the water." Wei Wei said with a beard.
"The widow has also thought so, but there is also something in the water in the strange things of the First Emperor." Ziying's face was solemn, "I'd rather believe it than believe it." The widow burns the rhino today, so that the things of the ghosts and gods can support their dreams. β
"But Wen Qiao died after burning the rhino water, and the King of Qin is not afraid..."
"I have to try it anyway, at this time, the 'ghosts and gods' in the water are still visible, right?" Ziying swept the snow off his clothes, "What water does Mr. Wei Yu have to advise?" β
"Since the King of Qin insists on this, then... Weishui. Lu Shang once fished on the Weishui, and once he helped the Monday to extinguish the week, this water is very suitable. β
"That's it!"
......
"This wine... The stamina is strange. β
Chen Ping's drunken eyes were hazy, his cheeks were flushed, he put down the wine jue, and looked out of the house on his knees, "The snow is very abundant this year, and the Marquis of Ming actually said that the five grains of Daqin are not abundant, I really don't know how to say this." It seems that the little girl's words cannot be fully believed, and the king still needs to rely on you and me. β
"It's really not what Marquis Ming said, it's not a disaster year of Great Qin, but a disaster year of several countries." Zhang Liang smiled bitterly.
"Counting countries?!" Chen Ping's drunken eyes were slightly open, half awakened from the wine, and his head was still groggy.
"Exactly." Zhang Liang nodded, "Yin and Yang are turnaround, and the cold air has become more and more prosperous last year, and the fields of Han Di have already been defeated, the grains are not ripe, and the weeds are luxuriant. The monarchs of various countries have been trapped in war for a long time and have not been aware of it. The same is true this year, and the cold weather will be extreme tomorrow. At that time, Qin, Henan, Chen Yu's Zhao, Qi, Yan, and Zhao Wei, which were occupied by the Xiongnu, would all starve to death, so that... Easy to eat. β
Chen Ping was shocked for a long time, propped his forehead and pondered, "There is a saying in the Book of Rites; 'In summer and winter, hail hurts the valley, the road is impassable, and the riots come. If the spring order is carried out, the grains will mature late, and the country will be hungry when it is a hundred tengs. In the autumn season, the grass and trees are scattered, the fruits are early, and the people are suffering from the epidemic'... Mr.'s words, but summer and spring?! β
Zhang Liang's face was solemn and he nodded slowly.
"This is trouble..."Chen Ping gasped with his teeth, "Wei Wangbao also destroyed nearly half of the grain. β
"It's really troublesome, the king has conquered the land of Bashu, and careful work can alleviate the danger in the pass. At this moment, there is an incident, and everything may need to be tied to the Marquis of Tanglin. If there is a strange law, then you can cross this pass, otherwise... The people of Bashu must be dissatisfied with the king's wanton transfer of grain, and if the Lu clan instigates at that time, the king's hard work may be ruined. β
The two of them were silent together, and neither said anything about Chen Ping's "deception" of the Xiongnu.
The unripe grains and lush weeds will attract the Huns to the south, and at that time, I am afraid that no country has the strength to fight against them.
It is not the difficulty of Daqin, but the difficulty of Kyushu.
"Mr. Zifang..."Chen Ping said embarrassedly, "There is a disaster in the north, but what is good in the south?" This time into the Hengshan Kingdom, Wu Rui seems to have said that he can cultivate extensively to help Daqin. If this is the case, the countries of the Northland will lose their strengths and weaknesses, and Great Qin will inevitably become the strongest again. The king only needs to repel the Xiongnu to dominate the north. β
"It's okay in the south."
"Very good! Qin and Wei have been fighting for a hundred years, they are very familiar with the terrain of Wei, and Mrs. Hu knows the habits of the Xiongnu very well. Chen Pinglu was overjoyed.
"Dr. Chen thinks about the countries too simply." Zhang Liang shook his head, "Han Xin of Henan Guo, after all, is Xiang Yu's old minister, and he was also expelled at the beginning. Now that there is no monarch in Jiujiang Country, if Han Xin votes for Xiang Yu, he will eventually get some land in Jiujiang, why give up seeking far and win over Yingbu? β
"What do you mean?"
"Han Xin and his subordinate strategist Kuaitong have always been thinking about Qin, Henan and Linjiang are all around Great Qin, which is the reason for this law. Furthermore... Kuaitong seems to know about the disaster in the north, so he will choose Yingbu in the south, otherwise Chen Yu in the north should be a better choice. β
Zhang Liang lightly twisted the black chess pieces at the corner, "Although the Yan Kingdom is not weak, it is located in the northernmost part, and the disaster should be the most serious place. Now it seems that Zang Tu should have defected to the Xiongnu and made enemies of Great Qin.
Qi State is also the most chaotic country with internal forces, it is clear that Tian Hengtian is in charge, and there is also Xiang Zhuang behind his back, and he has done some tricks in it. Even if there is a disaster in the five grains, there is also Chu to help. None of these three parties will befriend Daqin. β
Chen Ping couldn't help nodding, the world was like chess, he could only watch two or three moves, but Zhang Liang seemed to see the final result of each chess.
"There is still Chen Yu in the middle, I don't know how he will choose?" Chen Ping asked respectfully.
"Chengdu Jun is in Daqin, Chen Yu should be in Daqin." Zhang Liang said, suddenly sighing, "But his choice is not a big deal." The Xiongnu marched eastward and attacked Chen Yu; Zang Di went south, and Chen Yu was also his primary target; Outside Hangu Pass, Chen Yu rescued Qin, and Chu couldn't spare him. Han Xin is recruiting, and he will not interfere or help. β
"At this time, the king is powerless to save him, so he can only let the only ally in the north be destroyed." Chen Ping echoed and sighed, "There is only one country in the south of Hengshan to help, but it is better to have something than nothing." β
Zhang Liang seemed to have thought of something, and his brows furrowed, "The pattern in the south is even more chaotic than in the north." Regardless of Yingbu's uncertainty, those who want to seize the monarchless Jiujiang are not only Mei Kai, Lu Shi, and the losers. Although Wu Rui is safe, it is close to many Yi countries in the southwest, Qiongdu, Baima, Jilan, Toulan, Yelang... If there is one person who can contact the countries here, and then make friends with Nanyue and Dian State, when Wu Rui helps the Great Qin in foreign wars, Hengshan may not be guaranteed. β
"Although the barbarian country is small, it is not a country that is easy to submit willingly, let alone unite, why does the gentleman say this?" Chen Ping couldn't figure it out.
"On that day, I met with the commander of Ji Han, named Su Wu, who exuded the spirit of a non-minister. He will not lightly move Wu Rui, who is feared even by Yingbu, if he betrays Hengshan, this is the only way to do. Zhang Liang explained, "There are also the two people of the Sui family in the southeast, should they not occupy Jiujiang with Mei Kai and send them to death, I am afraid it will be another chaos." β
Chen Ping stretched out his hand and scratched his hair indiscriminately, "I feel upset just thinking about it, the king thought that the killing of Wei Wangbao had been settled, and the road to recovering Qin was too difficult after all." β
The two sighed in unison and were silent for a long time.
Chen Ping raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Liang, "The king often said that Mr. Zifang is good at big plans, although the overall situation is difficult, Mr. Zifang should have a long-term plan to restore Qin, right?" β
"The relations between the countries are complex, except for the Chu State, there is no huge difference in strength, and those who act recklessly will be taboo by the world. There is no deep plan under it, only static braking. Lao Tzu said, 'The husband is the only one who does not fight, so the world can not fight with him'. β
"Wait for the situation, but not build momentum?" Chen Ping frowned.
"Don't worry, after the one-year famine, there will be a big change. Let the king be at ease and trim his year old..."
......
Horses' hooves, wooden wheels crushing thick snow creaked, Ziying, Wei Yu, Han Tan led hundreds of soldiers to the north, and finally arrived at the fishing place of Lu Shang that year.
Jingshui is clear and turbid, and the clear words of Jingshui come from this, and the "stigma" of Weishui has been passed down for eternity, just like the violent reputation of Daqin.
The ice is covered with a thick layer of snow, and at the moment it is white and cloudy.
The heavy snow did not stop, Han Tan stood beside the carriage with two dark red rhinoceros horns in both hands, and Wei Yi held a torch to watch the soldiers chisel the ice and break the river.
"Chaowen said, it is okay to die at night. It's better for the old man to do the thing of burning the rhino and shining the water. Wei Yu spoke, and a thick white gas slowly rose and then dissipated.
"Wen Qiao is a famous general, the things of 'ghosts and gods' will fall into dreams, Mr. Wei Yu has no official position now, I'm afraid that thing will not appreciate his face." Ziying joked, "If the 'ghosts and gods' are still haunting, Daqin is afraid that there is no hope of recovering the country, and the widow might as well die." It's okay~"
Han Tan's face was embarrassed, he frowned tightly and was entangled in his heart, but in the end there was no obstruction.
The snow was swept away, and the reddish ice appeared in front of me, and with a hammer blow, the ice cracked, and the red yellow water flowed slowly.
With a torch in his right hand and a rhino horn in his left, Ziying sent the generals away and was alone by the river.
The fire was close to the rhinoceros horn, and the child suddenly sniffed and bared his teeth.
The faint, burnt smell of rhino horn goes straight to the brain.
"It stinks! Was Wen Qiao smoked to death by rhinoceros horn back then? β
Ziying scolded secretly, enduring a sense of displeasure and leaning over to look at the river.
The river moved slightly, and Ziying's eyes widened, only to see three or five carp trying to probe out of the river, grabbing the fresh cold air.
"It's... Should the widow change to a fishless place, or at least a rocky rock? Ziying thought in his heart.
Han Tan, Wei Yu and hundreds of soldiers craned their necks from a distance behind them to watch, not wanting to let go of any strange things, and forcibly slowed down their breathing, for fear of disturbing the meeting between Ziying and "God".
The weak yang in the air deviated from its position, and the haqi was already frozen on the eyes of the people whose cheeks were red, and Rao was wearing thick clothes, and after a long time, the biting chill was still coming through the clothes.
"Mr. Wei Yu..."Han Tan carefully shouted, "Is this ghost god afraid of the king and afraid to show up, or does he know the king's intentions and just wait for the night to dream?" β
Wei Yi nodded thoughtfully, "The king once said that Wen Qiao was only a rhino to check, and it didn't take long to think about it, and now it should be enough." β
The two of them were frozen until their thighs trembled unconsciously, and they wanted to step forward to dissuade the child, but seeing that the child did not move, they retracted their necks and continued to wait.
Ziying stared at the fish in the water, one by one rushed forward, and the fish that breathed freely either left consciously, or were robbed of the place by the fish that came later, and couldn't help but think that the same is true of the dispute between the countries.
"If those people really exist, looking at me is like looking at fish in water, right?" Ziying muttered, suddenly feeling small and unwilling.
The horn burns out, and the baby throws away the "wreckage" and quietly goes to light the other one.
His eyes were slightly sour from white, and he hesitated in his heart, and suddenly stopped his hands.
"Nonsense, the widow really believes it. With this kind of time, they should really send Qin Disciple and others to search for the whereabouts of Master Lingyan behind their backs to Zhang Liang and Chen Ping! Ziying was angry in his heart, and then disappeared again, "It's useless to find it, most likely it won't come back..."
Ziying lowered her eyebrows and stopped thinking, her mind was extremely chaotic, as if she had all kinds of emotions, and finally it was blank.
"Zi Ying..."
"Huh?"
I don't know how long it took, Ziying seemed to hear someone calling him. The voice was in a trance, and it came from nowhere. Ziying wanted to turn around to check, but suddenly felt that her body couldn't move.
"Who?!" Ziying exclaimed, but did not speak, as if speaking with his head.
"Hehe... Don't you want to see us? The voice was mocking, "Burning rhino water, this kind of rotten method is really bad for you to think of." β
"Didn't you come? That's right. Ziying refuted, surprised and delighted in her heart.
"It's stupid." The voice was slightly helpless, "During the Xia Shang Zhou, there was a sacrifice to the sky, and the witch doctor was psychic. The method on the bright side does not need to... Let me tell you the truth, it's not the rhino horn that is useful, but a wave, a frequency, a wave that only people who are absolutely convinced and revered will come out of their heads. In later generations, the hearts of the people were complicated, and it was difficult to reach this state, so they lost contact with our group of 'ghosts and gods'. Babies have evil spirits from time to time, that is, babies can easily reach this state, and there is no such thing as they grow older. β
"Widows do not revere ghosts and gods, nor are they simple." Ziying said stiffly.
"Yes~", the strange voice laughed, "But you are afraid, a kind of real fear from the inside out, plus the heavy snow at the moment, the heart is calm to a certain extent." We've relaxed the range of frequencies a bit, and we're barely able to get in touch with you. β
Ziying had previously seen some scientists in their later years and guessed that there was some relationship between science and theology, and he was not too shocked by this voice.
"You did the 'The First Emperor died and the earth was divided'?" Ziying asked anxiously.
"Yes~"
"Why?!" Ziying was anxious to find out.
"That's a long story." The voice was a little leisurely, "Your wisdom in ancient times was not opened, and we wanted to plan a shortcut for you out of kindness - 'the world is for the public', but unfortunately it was destroyed by Yu of the Xia Dynasty, and we secretly gave the Xia Dynasty a lot of stumbling blocks, and the Xia Dynasty was finally destroyed." β
"And then? The Xia Dynasty was replaced by the Shang Dynasty, you should 'bless' the Shang Dynasty, when the Shang Dynasty died immediately, there were many dark signs that you... It's to help the Zhou Dynasty. "When Shang died, the country's strength was growing, and there was evil, Fei Lian and other famous ministers helped each other, and Ziying didn't believe that it was so easy to die.
"It's easy, too. Although the Shang Dynasty replaced the Xia Dynasty, it was not the destruction of the Shang, but more like Zen. The voice smiled, "LΓΌ Buwei is really a strange person, there is a saying in "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn", 'Tang Li Tianzi, Xia Min Dayue, if you are kind, the dynasty is not out of place!'" βγ So you can also treat Xia Shang as a day, how can we help Shang reason? β
