Introduction 2: A proverb
The chaos of the world is divided into the king and the land, and the dead wood of the Shenque Mountain cliff remains, who will return to the king and the land? The magpie's nest taps the phoenix back.
This is a proverb, and no one can tell the origin of this proverb clearly, but there are many people who know this proverb, and there are many people who know and understand its meaning. The chaos in the world has existed for almost a hundred years, and the secession regimes in various places have been staged like a marquee, but when this proverb appeared and began to spread widely, a small hillside in the north of Luoyang that no one had ever cared about suddenly attracted the attention of all those in power in the world.
The hillside is full of trees and the sun is backdropped, and an unnamed stream meanders at the foot of the mountain. Although the stream does not have a name, the hillside around it has a very resounding name in the mouths of the local people for generations: Shenque Mountain.
The question of why this hillside has such a peculiar name is not clear to even the people who have lived here for generations, but they know one thing very well, that is, every dusk they will see dense chickadees flying out of the dense forest in flocks and flying back and forth. The trees in the mountains are tall and there are many kinds of wild fruit insects, and there are naturally many chickadees.
The locals living down the hill seem to have adapted to the chickadee, and their calls are like a call to return late, urging the hard-working people to go home and rest in peace. Such a situation seems to have become a habit in the eyes of the locals. But suddenly, a magpie's chirping at dusk instantly calmed the minds of the locals.
"Why is there a magpie cry all of a sudden? For the first time in more than 50 years of life, I heard a magpie call. This magpie came to this Divine Sparrow Mountain, don't you say it's strange? ”
"What's so strange about this, even magpies will move around like fleeing refugees, and their migration here is enough to prove that we are lucky here."
"That's the same truth, there are constant wars in the world, and we are very peaceful here! Even if the war is raging within a radius of ten miles, it has not affected us. ”
"Bodhisattva bless us! I've heard that our hill is home to a god who blesses peace. ”
"I think you're an evil kid! I don't think you kid is thinking about living fairies, I think you're thinking that there are fairies living in the mountains, right? ”
As twilight fell, outside a simple thatched hut, an old man and a young man sat at a table made of tree stumps, giggling and laughing.
"I've heard that this magpie is an auspicious bird, and that its presence here is a sign that something good is going to happen to us?"
"What good things can happen to a magpie? Maybe it's just a magpie hurrying by, and if something good happens, it's better to stay here and set up a nest in the mountains. ”
From this day on, there was no flock of sparrows at dusk, but more and more magpies were singing, and although the locals had adapted to the call of the magpies, some people had begun to get bored.
Just when they were bored, some sharp-eyed people in the local area still found something that seemed to be quite magical, on the sunny southern slope of Shenque Mountain, there were many magpie shacks, and the shacks made of branches were like black chess pieces dotted on the trees on the hillside, which looked particularly eye-catching and dazzling.
"This magpie is really looking for a place to build a nest, there are many flying insects and wild fruits in this mountain forest, it seems that this magpie has driven away the sparrow and monopolized this god sparrow mountain!" This is the reaction of the locals when they see the magpie shacks, but the star-dotted magpie shacks have become a different sight and a different interpretation in the eyes of a passer-by.
"The phoenix pattern embellished by this magpie's shack seems to be only the head, and the providence is so creative and tricky! It seems that there is really going to be a great queen in this world. But I don't know when these last magpies will come and build their nests? The pattern of this phoenix has appeared, and it seems that the world is bound to set off a big storm after all. ”
The Taoist suddenly paused in his natural self-muttering, he slowly licked his chapped lips with his tongue, stretched out his right hand and gestured in the air a few times, and then said slowly, "But it's also to blame this phoenix for becoming the queen, if it doesn't work, it will only be empty in the end!" I don't know when the rest of the phoenix head will be completed? ”
These are the words that the Taoist muttered to himself when he was leaving, and many people heard his seemingly crazy words, and there were many people who spread them, but how many people could completely believe that he understood the meaning of what he said?
Shenque Mountain is located in the north of Luoyang, and the Luoyang area has been regarded as the birthplace of the imperial dragon vein since the Han Dynasty.
The phoenix pattern built on the magpie's shack has not yet taken shape, so will the last few magpies who come to build their nests really come?
The last few magpies built a shack if it is not accidental according to the will of heaven must be the head, this head is obviously the most important, is this magpie from what region, then this great queen was born in that area?
It's not a problem, on the contrary, it seems to be more of a fool's joke, maybe it's just a providence!
Providence is also the will of man, those who know the mystery of this have done it, those who know the proverb have also done it, anyway, those who want to get the power of the world have done it.
It is true that the so-called things are intended by man, but this providence cannot be violated. Maybe some people, although they are busy and try their best, in the end they will only be dreaming of empty joy.
"Did you hear that? There is a demon in the mountain temple behind our village recently, do you know where he came from? ”
"Demons? You say that youkai don't scare people at night, have you really seen youkai? ”
"What do you want? The demon I'm talking about is actually a person who has been tortured by the palace, and I think that person will definitely be a big official in the court before. ”
"The great officials of the court? There are many courts in today's troubled times, maybe it is just the legacy of the destruction of the court, so it is better for us to stay away from him. ”
"This is a necessity, and he asked me for water to drink, but I did not give it to him. But you see, seriously, have you noticed that tonight's moon is the biggest and brightest you've ever seen in my lives? ”
"Indeed, this moon looks really special tonight." The villagers of Shenque Mountain always have a lot to talk about at dinner.
The demon in the Zhongshan Temple in the mouth of the villagers is actually Chen Xianzhi, who came here to find someone. He was very excited to find this place smoothly, but his excitement quickly cooled down, at this moment he has been divining more than a dozen times, and every time the hexagram shows is a scattered hexagram that does not become a hexagram, he thinks what is wrong with the hexagram he shook out today?
The cold night breeze shuttled back and forth through the mountain temple, and after it easily blew out the candlelight, the bright moon still continued to illuminate everything in the temple. A desolate atmosphere abruptly emerged, although this desolate atmosphere instantly crawled into Chen Xianzhi's state of mind, but the bright moon tonight also instantly told him why tonight's divination was all the reason for the scattered hexagrams. Now he seemed to understand that he didn't need to stay here anymore.
The bright moon was just right to dot the head of the phoenix pattern of Shenque Mountain, and that position corresponded to the northwest, and the person he was looking for should not be here, but on the grassland in the north.
This is actually a celestial machine, this celestial machine is not told to him by the hexagram, but the bright moon has just told him, and this secret moon may never appear in the future to tell the world a second time.
With a full moon tonight, all is well. There is wind tonight, and everything is alive.
Three days later, a middle-aged man in strange clothes also arrived, looking at the mountain temple with traces and tentatively asking the local villagers.
"Are you asking about the crazy demon? He stayed in the temple for a few days and then left, taking with him a lot of water bladders, as if he were going in that direction. The villager who replied pointed to the northwest direction of the village.
"Then thank you in advance, please accept this in order to thank you, but you don't want to talk about this matter to anyone today." The middle-aged man in strange clothes spread out his hands, and unexpectedly made a few taels of extra silver.
Can a few taels of silver really buy a person's mouth?
Five days later, a group of fierce soldiers and horses came to the small mountain village, and as soon as he entered the village, the general led by him used a spear to pick and kill a big yellow dog nesting at the entrance of the village.
"This village is ours now, now give you an hour to go home and pack up your belongings and leave immediately, if the people who stay here after an hour are intent on rebellion, it will be the same result as this cheap dog." The general's words were not just words, if he wanted to kill a man, it would definitely be more painful than killing a dog.
Half a day later, another team of soldiers and horses poured into the village, and this team of soldiers and horses didn't say a word before they fought with the soldiers and horses who had entered before.
The peaceful mountain village has now become a hell on earth, and if you want to live in such a place, you can only become more terrible than the evil spirits.
A proverb has become a curse that can curse the world. The magpie shack on the slope of Shenque Mountain finally disappeared into the wildfire, and the originally leafy mountain forest was in shambles, leaving only a few dozen black, bare tree trunks standing in isolation. There is also a phoenix pattern, and there is a green song between the mountains and forests?
Chen Xianzhi went to the grassland of Mobei, and who would be this stranger in strange clothes who followed him? He can conjure a few taels of silver out of thin air in his hand, could it be that he is a person who can do tricks?
The phoenix pattern on the Divine Bird Mountain has been destroyed, so will the great queen still be born? No one can predict exactly what will happen in the future, and those who are right in predicting the future are just lucky to be right.
It is actually a very dangerous thing for the Central Plains people who have never entered the grassland to enter the Mobei grassland, and embarking on the road of the Mobei grassland is equivalent to embarking on a road of no return.
Will Chen Xianzhi embark on a road of no return? So who will be the one who will be following him?
Can a proverb really make a difference in the future? No one can think it through and say it clearly.
