The Scourge of Witchcraft Chapter 9 Seeking Ancestors and Asking for Roots
I'm not sure about the connection between my ancestors and the sword, but Huang Zongman once wrote in my dream the words "Zhizhi Embroidered Messenger", and I believe that he was not a whim, but wanted to tell me something, so I think that even if there is no direct connection between my ancestors and the sword, they must know something.
In addition, I believe that my ancestors, who are members of a family of corpse chasers, must have also participated in this witch curse, and I think that if I start with my ancestors, it will definitely be much more efficient than such a headless question.
"My ancestors may not have anything to do with swords, but I'm sure they knew something." I replied.
"But where are we going to find your ancestors?" Qiu Yan looked at me and asked.
I patted my backpack and smiled, "Don't worry, I've always had them with me!" ”
Qiu Yan didn't understand it at first, and after frowning and thinking for a while, she suddenly realized: "You mean your family's genealogy!" ”
My backpack is stocked with three things all year round, all of which I have been told to keep, the first is the Chenzhou rune book, the second is a cloth bag containing cinnabar and rune paper, and the last one is the family tree given to me by my grandmother.
I nodded, "That's right, let's go back to our residence and look through it, we should be able to find clues." ”
When Qiu Yan heard this, she immediately pulled me forward, "Then what are you waiting for?" ”
This time, Qiu Yan rarely chose a star-rated hotel to live in, but chose a youth hostel, which was very lively, all of them were young people who traveled from afar, and there were also some big-nosed foreigners.
As soon as Qiu Yan appeared, those foreigners immediately surrounded me, and I watched them kiss and hug each other, and I felt very unhappy.
Qiu Yan's English is very good, and she communicates with a few foreigners as if she is speaking her hometown, but I don't understand a word, I just stand aside and smirk at them like a fool.
Only then did I understand why Qiu Yan looked so good today, and her daring was influenced by the atmosphere of this hotel.
Seeing that Qiu Yan and these foreigners seemed to be chatting endlessly, I pulled the corner of Qiu Yan's clothes, "That, Qiu Yan, where is our room, I'll go to rest first." ”
Qiu Yan seemed to forget about the fact that we were going to check the family tree, pointed to a corner and started chatting with the foreigners again.
I walked sullenly in the direction pointed by Qiu Yan, and there was immediately a burst of laughter behind me, I glanced back and found that several foreigners were looking at me at this time.
To be honest, I regretted that I hadn't studied for a few more years, and even if I had learned a few more English words, at least I could understand why they were laughing at me.
Qiu Yankai's room is a four-person room, with high and low bunks, which means that there are other people in this room besides the two of us, but I don't know what the other two people are doing now.
I sulked on the couch for a while, then pulled out the family tree.
Although I have always carried this genealogy with me, I rarely read it, it is all some name information, very boring, I currently remember three names in the whole book, one is Huang Zongman, one is Huang Xie, and one is the Yellow Emperor.
I wanted to refer to Zhu Anshi's era to find contemporaries from the genealogy, but Qiu Yan was not around at this time, and I had no one to ask, so I had to check it with my mobile phone.
But this check doesn't matter, I found out a "year of birth and death unknown", that is to say, the information on the Internet not only does not mention what year Zhu Anshi died, nor does it mention what year Zhu Anshi was born, I thought to myself that this Zhu Anshi can be wanted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and finally arrested by Gongsun He himself, no matter how you look at it, it is not just a little thief, how can it not even have a year of birth and death, but such a Yangling hero, is recorded by the history books as a headless, tailless, nameless passerby A, this is not clearly three hundred taels of silver here?
Thinking of this, I became interested in this Yangling hero again, so I carefully looked through the records about him.
It doesn't matter if you look at it, after reading it, I found that this Zhu Anshi is simply a mythical existence.
It turned out that the record of Zhu Anshi in the history books not only did not mention his date of birth and death, but also did not mention why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted him, and it was only written that the word "chivalry" of Yangling Daxia was different from our current understanding, and the word "chivalry" in the Western Han Dynasty meant to do evil by force, that is, Yangling Daxia Zhu Anshi was a bully who bullied the weak by force.
But this brings up a question, why did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty personally issue an edict to arrest him for such a small street bully? And Gongsun He, who was also the prime minister at the time, personally led troops to arrest him!
Interestingly, it was also written on the Internet that after Zhu Anshi was arrested and imprisoned, he wrote a letter to frame Gongsun Jingsheng, the son of Gongsun He, for fornicating with Princess Yangshi, the daughter of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and also said that Gongsun Jingsheng buried a wooden man on the road that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty must pass to curse Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
The strange thing is that Zhu Anshi wrote this letter after he was arrested and imprisoned, but later the letter really came to Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Wu of Han believed him.
So, how did Zhu Anshi, who was imprisoned by Gongsun He, deliver a letter framing Gongsun He's son to Emperor Wu of Han? Gongsun He didn't even notice it at all?
All these records prove that Zhu Anshi was by no means an ordinary person, and there must have been an untold story between Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and him, and the ending of this story must not be very good, so there will be a situation where Zhu Anshi's time has disappeared.
In addition, when I searched for Zhu Anshi, I found an interesting situation, if you use pinyin to type the word "zhu an shi", the first thing that comes out is "reincarnation", I don't know if I think too much, or this is just accidental, in short, this Zhu Anshi is becoming more and more mysterious in my heart.
At this time, there was still the sound of Qiu Yan and a few men talking and laughing outside, but at this time, my mind was completely attracted by Zhu Anshi, and I didn't have time to eat a few big-nosed vinegar.
I flipped through the genealogy on my lap and remembered that I had come to look up the genealogy, so I returned my attention to the genealogy.
Since Zhu Anshi's birth and death year is unknown, I can't use his age to find my ancestors, but when I looked through Zhu Anshi's life just now, I noticed that those things happened in the last years of Emperor Wudi of Han, and all Chinese know that Emperor Wudi of Han is an outstanding politician and one of the pioneers of Han culture, but the main achievements of Emperor Wudi of Han are concentrated in the early period of his reign, and the later Emperor Wudi of Han believes in magic, extravagance, and military force, I think this may be the reason for the later outbreak of witchcraft.
Emperor Wu of Han was born in 156 BC and died in March 87 BC, so the so-called last years of Emperor Wu of Han are the years before 87 BC.
Following this time, I began to rummage through the genealogy, and finally, I found a person in a similar era - Huang Ba!
Huang Ba was born in 130 BC and died in 51 BC, according to the time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was 26 years older than Huang Ba, that is to say, in the twilight of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huang Ba was in the prime of life, and at first glance when I heard the word "Huang Ba", I was almost sure that this person was the person I was looking for.
However, after I checked it on my mobile phone, I found that Huang Ba's personality has nothing to do with the word "Ba".
To put it simply, Huang Ba is an official who donates, and he has donated several times, however, Huang Ba is a self-taught law, ambitious, and kind, and an official is also fair and honest.
It's just that Huang Ba has a good way of governing the people, but he has no way to govern the country, and in the prime minister's position, Huang Ba has no political achievements, but this can't change the result that Huang Ba is a good official.
The more I look at Huang Ba's life, the less I think this person is like the person I am looking for, the person I am looking for should be a person with a high reputation among the people and a very low-key person in the officialdom, so I shifted my target to Huang Ba's relatives.
The upper and lower generations of Huang Ba are all officials in the imperial court, and the family that can cultivate people like Huang Ba, I don't think it is very good to produce people like corpse chasers, this is the same as my great-grandfather Li Yishui and his brother Li Yishan, Li Yishui's family has Li Shoude, a magic stick, and Li Yishan's family will only produce people with lofty ambitions like Li Shouye.
Huang Ba's father is named Huang Zhang, Huang Zhang only has one son, Huang Ba, but Huang Zhang has two brothers, one is called Huang Bin and the other is called Huang Cai, perhaps because Huang Ba's family is too famous, there is very little introduction to Huang Bin and Huang Cai.
Vaguely, I felt that these two were the people I was looking for.
In order to be sure, I turned to the page of my great-grandfather Li Yishui, and then looked forward along the family branch, and sure enough, when I almost finished reading most of the family tree, I saw that our branch line extended to Huang Cai's name, that is, I am a direct descendant of Huang Cai.
The genealogy says that Huang Zhang's hometown is in Taikang County, Henan Province, and I estimate that Taikang County is our destination, even if Huang Cai and Huang Zhang are separated, they should not be too far apart.
The hard work paid off, and finally a little eyebrow-raising, I closed the family tree, let out a long breath, and sighed in my heart that my Huang family is really talented.
At this time, Qiu Yan also finished chatting, she walked into the room with a smile on her face, looked at me and smiled, and said, "Are you satisfied with the room I chose?" ”
I looked around, patted the futon next to me, and replied flatly, "I'm not satisfied, but I still prefer to have a separate space." ”
Qiu Yan sat down on the stool next to the sofa and said with a smile: "You also have to try new things occasionally, this kind of multi-room youth hostel is very popular abroad, and there are many in China, living in this kind of place, there are many people in contact, and there are many things that you hear and see, which is called real travel." ”
I stretched out my hand at Qiu Yan and asked angrily, "Are we here to travel?" ”
Qiu Yan finally saw my dissatisfaction at this time and asked, "Zimu, are you unhappy?" If you are not happy, then we will stay in a hotel! ”
"Forget it, live in the house, I just don't understand, what do you have to talk about with those white-skinned pigs, and you are still smiling so happily!"
Qiu Yan covered her mouth and snickered at this time, and she immediately stopped smiling when she noticed that I was staring at her.
"What's wrong? Are they laughing at me? I asked dissatisfied.
Qiu Yan blushed suddenly and whispered, "No, they just said that you are my shy boyfriend." ”
"Huh, shy? Their original words should be poor and sour! ”
Qiu Yan's face immediately collapsed after hearing this, "Oh, you can't grasp the point, besides, you scolded them for being white-skinned pigs, why do you care so much about what they say?" Forget it, let's not talk about them, come, let me see your genealogy. Qiu Yan said as she snatched the genealogy from my hand.
