Chapter 1260 One hundred thousand skeletons build a view of the capital
These days, the three words "Skull Mountain" have filled Guo Ye's ears and eyes.
Now seeing this Skull Mountain, Guo Ye feels disappointed. This Skull Mountain is unremarkable. To say that it is a small dirt mountain is still a polite statement. It's a big mound.
Guo Ye said disappointedly: "This is Skull Mountain? It doesn't look like anything special! ”
Turtledove said: "Not really. If you look closely, this Skull Mountain is full of dirt, but there is no grass or trees, is this a special place? ”
Sun Zishan said disappreciatively: "Didn't that Zhang Renyi say that he often comes to Skull Mountain, maybe he has been taking care of it here." ”
Zhang Renyi smiled bitterly and said, "It's true that I've been taking care of this place, otherwise what everyone sees wouldn't be like this, do you want to see the true face of Skull Mountain?" ”
The eldest grandson glared at him and said, "We came all the way to see this Skull Mountain. You don't talk nonsense, what the hell is going on? ”
Zhang Renyi turned his head to look at Sun Zishan and said, "This little brother, are you bold?" "It can be said that he is quite knowledgeable, and he can see at a glance that the most nesty person in this is Sun Zishan.
Sun Zishan also carried Fei Fei on his back and said, "I'm timid. Zhang Renyi, I warn you, don't scare me! I'm scared, and I'll blame you for throwing Fei Fei down. ”
Zhang Renyi nodded and said, "It's good to be timid, little brother, the scene may be a little scary later, you take Fei Fei away and don't let her see it, I'm afraid of scaring her." "Zhang Renyi is really thoughtful!
Sun Zishan is really timid, listening to what Zhang Renyi said is scary, he looks at Guo Ye pitifully. Seeing that Guo Ye nodded slightly, Sun Zishan carried Fei Fei on his back, and ran away without a trace.
Seeing that Fei Fei was walking away, Zhang Renyi hugged his fist at Skull Mountain and said, "Everyone, offended!" ”
Zhang Renyi walked to Skull Mountain, gently brushed aside a layer of soil, and with a slight force, took out something. Everyone looked at it, and it turned out to be a skeleton!
The turtledove smiled: "What should I be?" Isn't it just a dead man's bones? Birth, old age, sickness and death, no one is immune to this. What is there to be afraid of. ”
Zhang Renyi said: "Then what if you look at this again?" He rubbed his hand on Skull Mountain, the floating soil peeling off, and more than a dozen skeletons were exposed. Zhang Renyi walked a few steps away, and there were more than a dozen skeletons!
One skeleton is not scary, but what about a dozen? Dozens, hundreds? Tens of thousands?
Guo Ye had already felt that something was wrong, and cold sweat began to break out in his spine, and said, "You mean, there are all in this Skull Mountain?" ”
Zhang Renyi nodded and said, "Yes, the Skull Mountain is full of skeletons." Skull Mountain, Skull Mountain, is a mountain of skeletons! ”
With the character of the eldest grandson, he also gasped at this time. How big is a skeleton? No matter how small this Skull Mountain is, it can be called a mountain. If it was full of skeletons, how much would it be?
The turtledove asked, "It's full of skeletons, no skeletons?" Brother Zhang, do you know how many skeletons are there? ”
Zhang Renyi shook his head and said, "It's all skeletons." I don't know how many there are, but there are always hundreds of thousands! ”
Guo Yedao: "This Goguryeo custom is really strange, when a person dies, he has to cut off his head when he is buried." That's it, why are so many people buried together, and don't the Goguryeo people build cemeteries? ”
Zhang Renyi sneered: "Goguryeo? Every skeleton in this is a child of Huaxia. And the heads were not cut off after death, they were all beheaded and died! ”
Guo Ye's blood poured his pupils, his eyes were red, and he grabbed Zhang Renyi's collar angrily, and shouted, "What did you say? Are you saying that everyone here is beheaded and killed? Hundreds of thousands of Huaxia children were all beheaded? ”
Subsequently, Guo Ye took a strong breath and slowly let go of Zhang Renyi.
Zhang Renyi was taken aback by Guo Ye and said, "Why are you in a hurry, it's not now, this was all thirty years ago." ”
"Thirty years ago?"
"Thirty years ago, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo three times, but he didn't take advantage of anything. Nearly 200,000 Chinese disciples were captured by Goguryeo. The infant Yang King was cruel and unkind, and in order to boast of his martial arts, he cut off more than 100,000 heads and built a Jingguan on this cave mountain. Since then, people have stopped calling this mountain Cave Mountain, but renamed it Skull Mountain. ”
He also really saved face for Emperor Yang of Sui, saying that he didn't take advantage of anything. Nearly 200,000 were captured, and no matter how you count it, you have to lose.
Turtledove nodded and said: "No wonder people don't dare to come, more than 100,000 people have died with this, and the souls of the wrongs are not dispersed, everyone has to be frightened!" ”
The more Guo Ye looked at Zhang Renyi, the more strange he felt.
When he was in the Juyou Gambling House, this Zhang Renyi was a good man who went astray.
When they met today, Zhang Renyi seemed to be a different person, first sheltered Fei Fei, who was wanted all over the city, and then brought them to this inaccessible Skull Mountain. Listening to his meaning, he often worships the disciples of Huaxia who are buried here, no matter from which point of view, this is a good man with righteousness.
Which one is his true face?
Guo Ye said: "It's not a secret, we are the envoys sent by the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty to envoy Goguryeo, and our surname is Guo Mingye Ziyi." On the Anjia set, the place is embarrassing, and we didn't report our real names and surnames, which is really sorry! Then he reintroduced the turtledove and the eldest grandson to Zhang Renyi.
After all the introductions, Guo Ye asked again: "Brother Zhang, if I'm not mistaken, the floating soil on this Skull Mountain is all buried by Brother Zhang." Brother Zhang asked the bones of my Huaxia disciples not to expose the wilderness. It is really a meritorious merit, please accept Guo's worship! ”
After speaking, Guo Ye bowed. The eldest grandson and turtledove also followed Guo Ye and bowed to Zhang Renyi.
Zhang Renyi regained his true face as an honest man at this time, waved his hand again and again, and said, "I can't do it, I can't do it." In fact, when this Jingguan was first erected, there was a layer of soil on it, but the wind and sun were blowing, and the floating soil slowly fell off. I'm just a simple repair, a gesture of effort, a gesture of effort! ”
Turtledove asked, "Brother Zhang is expensive this year?" ”
Zhang Renyi said: "Spend forty years in vain! ”
"In this way, Brother Zhang was only ten years old thirty years ago, how did he know the origin of this Skull Mountain, and when did he start taking care of this Skull Mountain?"
"Ever since this Jingguan was erected, my father has often worshipped it. It wasn't until my father died ten years ago that I was given this worship to me. ”
Guo Yedao: "In this way, Brother Zhang is a loyal person. It's really admirable. Guo Ye has a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”
Zhang Renyi said: "Where did Lord Guo come from, I Zhang has nothing to say to others!" ”
Guo Ye said: "Guo has a heavy responsibility, so he has to be careful. If this offended Brother Zhang, Guo would make amends to Brother Zhang first! ”
"Lord Guo, please tell me, I'm a good person. Won't be angry. ”
"Whether it is sheltering Fei Fei or worshipping my Chinese soldiers, they are all enemies of the Goguryeo government. I view Brother Zhang as a person with a ...... personality Not so ...... Then ......" Speaking of this, Guo Ye didn't know how to speak. I can't say, I think you're just a coward, how can you do such an eggy thing, is there a conspiracy?
Zhang Renyi is honest, but he is not stupid, as soon as Guo Ye said it, he understood, and said: "Master Guo, I know what you mean." This eldest grandson scared me twice, and I did everything. How dare you do anything against the Goguryeo government? ”
"That's pretty much what it means." Guo Ye said embarrassedly,
"Because I'm a reader."
"Reader?" Guo Ye felt that this reason was too, if the scholars were so backbone, the Ming Dynasty would not have perished.
Zhang Renyi said: "Read and be reasonable." After reading the book, I know where my roots are, and I know that these Chinese children are my kindred people. After reading the book, I know that I have the courage to fight privately and be afraid of public war. That's what barbarians do. After reading the book, I know that although thousands of people have sacrificed their lives for righteousness! Of course I'm afraid of fighting against the government, but what I'm even more afraid of is that I have violated the righteousness in my heart! ”
Seemingly, there is some truth to that?
Guo Ye was skeptical, and Turtledove was quite moved when he heard it, and said: "I didn't think that Brother Zhang was still a scholar, I was really disrespectful before." I, Li Zhiting, am conceited and rich and rich, and after listening to Brother Zhang's words today, I realized that I have not yet understood the true meaning of the sage. Brother Zhang is the real seed of reading. "Turtledove is really good at putting gold on his face, in fact, he is also a poor talent, and he can't talk about being rich and five cars.
Zhang Renyi waved his hand again and again, and said, "I just followed my father and studied for a few years. How can you compare with Brother Li? ”
Ignoring the two of them touting each other, Guo Ye asked again: "So, the King of Yingyang killed all the captive Huaxia disciples?" ”
Zhang Renyi said: "That's not true. Fifty thousand captives were not killed, but were all used as official slaves. ”
"Where are these slaves now?"
"It's all near Liaodong City. The person in charge of the official slave is that Yuanhai Ziqi, this guy is not a human. These officials and slaves were abused in every way. The slightest disobedience is punishable by capital punishment. As for cutting noses and gouging out eyes, cutting off hands and feet, it is even more commonplace. Until now, these officials and slaves don't know if there are still 10,000 people. Fei Fei's father is one of them! ”
Turtledove sighed: "The youngest of these people must be fifty years old now, and the oldest ones must be sixty or seventy years old. You have to be a slave to others. Without food, without clothing, and being bullied. Gray-haired, he can't return to his hometown. It's pitiful, it's a pity! ”
Guo Ye was upset when he heard this, pulled out the sword in his waist, and said, "Come on, come on, let's destroy this Skull Mountain!" Let these Chinese children be in peace! ”
Zhang Renyi changed color when he heard this, and the turtledove immediately stopped Guo Ye and persuaded: "My lord, no, absolutely not!" ”
