The mysterious story behind the strange cat, strange dog and strange chicken (1)
Hello dear readers, it is time again for the author not to write books on a daily basis, and only cares about nonsense.
In the last few chapters, we mentioned an ancient book called "The Legend of Zhou Yi Demon", and the "anti-heel dog and drooping chicken" recorded in the book.
Maybe some readers will pout their lips very disdainfully when they read the book, the author, you really don't want to be cheeky, and you actually copied the "Angry Eyes Xiangxi" sung by the world, this drooping eyelid chicken is the angry eye chicken mentioned in the book.
How so?
"The Legend of Zhou Yi Demon" is indeed an ancient book that has been partially dispersed, and this kind of book does record the drooping chicken with 'inverted eyelids', as for whether this drooping chicken is the kind of angry chicken that can disperse a group of centipedes by only relying on its cry...... It remains to be verified.
Well, not poor.
If it weren't for the description of the anti-heel dog and the drooping chicken in "The Legend of Zhou Yi", there is a sentence "If you see it, the world will be in chaos, the artifact is easier, and the main knife soldier" will not be noticed, people will not pay attention to whether a chicken's eyelids are drooping or rolling...... Anyway, it's just as delicious after the braised crispy.
Now, things are different.
If the appearance of the drooping chicken really indicates that the world is about to be in chaos, then if you cook this chicken and eat it, will the world be chaotic?
Or suppose that now is the era of confrontation between the north and the south, if a drooping chicken appears in the territory of the Southern Dynasty, then send this demon chicken that represents a disaster to the Northern Dynasty, is it the turn of the other party to have blood luck?
This is the reason why the 'Demon Dao' Jingfang was beheaded by the powerful on the street back then: quietly stuffing a chicken into someone's chicken coop can make the family unlucky, and this field of research is really creepy.
If Jingfang's idea is not true, everyone will just think of it as a clown for after-dinner entertainment, and forget it after laughing; But if the assumption is realized, then this man will never be able to remain in the world!
Unfortunately, the successors of Jingfang obviously did not learn the lessons of the ancestor of the mountain, but spared no effort to carry forward this 'easy demon' technique.
Change, exchange also.
The so-called 'easy demon' technique is to take the demon that signs bad luck (the drooping chicken and the heel dog) to a certain place, so as to have the effect of hindering and restraining a certain party and helping the employer to overwhelm the opponent in the competition.
In this case, things are delicate.
Originally, Xu Xuzheng just wanted to find an introduction to help the priest recruit thunder, and among these primers who were easy to be thundered, the easiest to find was 'anti-heel dog and drooping chicken'.
After all, the common people all raise the local dogs that report the rooster guarding the door, and there were more than 100,000 households in Shengjing at that time, and there were more than one million chickens and dogs.
If there are more samples, it is easy to produce special cases that do not follow the usual path; Not to mention drooping eyelids, there may be that kind of congenital deformity and freaks with only one wing.
However, in the eyes of another group of people, especially those who were secretly hired by the imperial court to counter the 'Yi Demon' warlocks, Xu Xuzheng's search for the 'anti-heel dog and drooping chicken' was just trying to be a demon.
Hey, this magistrate asked, isn't Shengjing the land of Longxing in the Manchu Qing Dynasty? Could it be that the Qing court was worried that Xu Xuzheng was a civil anti-Qing righteous man, and the search for the weeping chicken was to hinder the dragon vein of the Qing court, so as to contribute to the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty in the future, so it sent a large number of secret agents to search for him?
Well, the above words are actually only half true, the Qing court is indeed worried that Xu Xuzheng will hinder the dragon vein of the Qing court, but this has nothing to do with the anti-Qing restoration of the Ming Dynasty.
Because Guanwai was the basic plate of the Qing court, the court was also confident in the control of the people in Shengjing and other places.
Even if there are changes in Shengjing City, there are very few people who are willing to rise up and respond to the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty...... I'm sorry, what is Daming? Those of us who are not outside the Kansai have no concept.
But then again, although the Qing court was not worried about someone organizing an anti-Qing restoration outside the Guanguan, it was also afraid that someone would spread rumors and mislead the people in Shengjing City.
Because there was a very special group of people in Shengjing City back then, the prince outside the gate!
Maybe seeing this, those readers who know a little about Qing history want to find fault with us again: "The author said nonsense, how could the Qing Dynasty have a prince outside the Guan? There are only eight **** families in the Qing court who are hereditary princes, plus the brothers of each emperor can be crowned princes, all of these people have lived in the capital all their lives, and even after Puyi's abdication, more than half of the royal descendants insisted on refusing to leave the capital! How could it be related to the foreign prince during the Jiaqing period?! ”
It is well said that since the Qing court entered the Central Plains, the princes and their descendants canonized by the imperial court have all stayed in the capital, and the princes and grandsons are not allowed to leave the capital without permission, which is also one of the ancestral teachings of the Qing emperor.
But don't forget that not all rulers of the Qing Dynasty entered the Shanhai Pass, for example, Nurhachi died of artillery wounds under the city of Ningyuan, and never entered the Shanhaiguan for half a step in his life.
Therefore, those princes and their descendants who helped Nurhachi unify the Jurchen tribes outside the Guan, and in the process won the title of prince with brilliant achievements, do not belong to the above category of princes and grandsons who are not allowed to leave Beijing without permission, they do not need to enter Beijing, and most of them have settled in Shengjing all their lives.
For these people, the Qing court really has to open one eye to stare when they are really sleeping!
Who called these princes and ancestors all military magnates who held military power and were quite prestigious among the Jurchen tribes outside the Guan.
What's even worse is that these people and the heavenly nobles in the Jingshi Jinluan Palace...... It's not close.
When Huang Taiji proposed that the Jurchen Ju clan enter Shanhaiguan, these people resolutely opposed it.
They insisted on taking their subordinates and subordinates to stay outside the customs to be nomadic, and in the end, due to too big differences, they parted ways with Huang Taiji and others, otherwise they would also be a member of the Qing court's hereditary reckless ****.
You know what? Except for Prince Gong, who helped Cixi eradicate the eight ministers of Gu Ming, the other seven **** were the generals with the greatest military achievements after the Qing court entered the customs that year.
These ****, like those princes outside the Guanwai, were the military leaders of a certain Jurchen tribe at first, but when they chose a side, the **** stood on Huang Taiji's side.
Now in Shengjing City, rumors have suddenly begun to circulate that the demon bird descending artifact is easier, who dares to ensure that these princes outside the gate will not be jealous of the treatment of **** in the capital and have different aspirations?
"Our ancestors are comrades-in-arms who stir horses and spoons in a pot, and now your family is in the capital and eats a small hot pot with a charcoal copper stove, eats oil and wears silk, and our family nests outside the gate every day to eat pickles? Why! ”
Once the descendant of the royal family outside the Guanwai really had a different ambition and quietly led the clansmen to pretend to be traders and enter the Shanhaiguan to surprise the Jingshi, it was really enough for the emperor to drink a pot.
Xu Xuzheng is a former Ming brocade guard, and he was born to cultivate immortals early in the morning, how did he know that there were so many twists and turns in Shengjing City?
So, he was pitted by himself like this.
Stop, that's the end of the background interpretation, let's talk about something related to scientific reasoning.
That is, does the 'drooping chicken and heel dog' have the ability to make the artifact of chaos in the world easier?
How is this possible?
To put it bluntly, the 'weeping chicken, anti-heel dog or scorched tiger' are all mutated individuals with genetic defects in animals that show special external characteristics.
At the same time, these animals may have developed certain endocrine glands due to the accidental mutation and deletion of certain genes in the genetic process, resulting in abnormal levels of certain hormones.
You know what? The cologne sprayed by men contains very small amounts of male hormones, which can have the effect of attracting the opposite sex.
Suppose a drooping chicken has twice as many hormones in its body that can be detected by a centipede as a normal rooster, then it is a super predator twice as strong as its kind in the 'eyes' of the centipede, and in the face of such an opponent, the centipede can only slip away.
So whether it's a drooping chicken to scare away centipedes, or a scorched-footed tiger to deter a group of rats, these are the effects of abnormal secretion of genetic mutant hormones, which is still relatively easy to understand.
As for saying, 'It's easier to have a chaotic artifact'...... People are not centipedes, regardless of whether the chicken is drooping or not, don't you stew it in a casserole?
However, this level of explanation is only superficial, is it really all false talk? Not really.
At least in the places where there have been military disasters, there have been drooping chickens, so Jingfang came to the conclusion that a drooping chicken is in the world, and the world is in chaos.
