The Scourge of Witchcraft Chapter 8 The Convergence of the Ancient Capitals
It turned out that Qiu Yan did not go back to Singapore at all, after she went to the airport, on a whim, she refunded the ticket to Guangzhou, and then bought a ticket to Xi'an.
I was surprised for a while when I heard the news, but when I looked back, it was okay, lest I go back to the provincial capital, and I had to hide it from my grandmother all the time, so that if I went directly to Xi'an, I could lie that I was still at home and wanted to spend more time with my parents.
After hanging up the phone, I slept peacefully on the big Li bed, and when I woke up again, it was already past noon.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the old Lin Tou holding a cigarette pouch and pot in his mouth, and an iron hammer in his hand to pound his fire hammer.
"Master, what age is this, it's time for your shotgun to be replaced!" I quipped as I rested my arm on my laurels.
Old Lin Tou glanced at me, "Wake up, are you feeling better?" ”
"Hehe, I said that I will be fine after drinking the medicine, or will I get up and take two steps for you?"
"Hmph, okay, if you make fun of people, it proves that your kid is really fine. Hey, your master and my shotgun, that's it for this life, if you want to change the gun, someone has to change it, besides, this shotgun was originally used to scare people, and it doesn't kill as many people as you two air guns! ”
"When I stayed on the mountain with you before, I was thinking about it all day long, thinking about when a large amount of money fell from the sky and smashed it on my head, and then I took the money and flew away, and I didn't have to listen to you and my mother anymore, but it was only a year since I went out, and I found out that it was better to stay on this mountain with you without heart and lungs, at least to get clean."
Lao Lin Tou slapped me on the forehead when he heard it, "No heart and no lungs, that's you!" And a large sum of money dropped from the sky, and that money will crush you to death! ”
"That's what I said! Master, when this is over, I will come back with the money, and when the time comes, you will help me walk the relationship, and let me be a forest ranger with you, and then I, Da Li, and you will enjoy the blessings on this mountain, how about it? ”
"Hehe, if you kid has this heart, Lao Tzu will be content, if you are really willing to come back, let alone leave the relationship, even give up my position to you."
"Hehe, I knew you felt sorry for me. Master, I plan to leave tomorrow and return to the provincial capital as soon as I get back. ”
Old Lin Tou immediately stopped what he was doing and turned his head to look at me.
"In such a hurry! Is it because of the tea tree nest? ”
"Well, there are some things I need to figure out as soon as possible, otherwise, I'm worried that something will happen."
"You'll be able to figure it out when you go back?"
"I don't know, but I can't stay here, go back and check, maybe I can find clues."
Lao Lin nodded and said, "Okay, you have to leave, Master won't stop you." Zimu, let's talk about it, but I can also see that you are a big person, and you can't stay on this mountain for the rest of your life, but you have to be careful when you do big things, don't hurt yourself. ”
"Master, I have one more thing to ask you, now, this is the only way to the tea tree nest, after I leave, please help me watch a little, if any strangers pass by here, you must tell me."
"Okay, I'll watch it for you."
"Master, you are so old, and your children are not always around, you must pay more attention to your body, if there is anything for Da Li and them to bear a little more, don't do everything by yourself."
"Okay, your master is still tough, don't worry about me, it's better to handle your own affairs well than anything else."
I was wrapped in the quilt and chatted with Lao Lintou one by one, Lao Lintou got the firecracker, and was busy making dinner, I looked at it with a smile, and I didn't bother to get up to help, and when Lao Lintou made dinner, I sat on the bed and waited for him to bring it to me.
In this little hut, with the dim lighting, I realized for the first time that it was actually very cozy.
The next morning, I got up and packed my things, Lao Lin Tou sent me to the intersection, waved his hand to the front of the road, and said: "Okay, I'm the only one on the mountain, I won't send it, you go back after you go back, come back if you can't bear it, do you hear?" ”
"Hehe, Master, if I really can't bear it and come back, will you scold me for being a coward!"
"It's better to be a coward than to be dead!" Old Lin Tou put down this sentence fiercely, and turned back.
Lao Lin and I didn't drive when we went up the mountain, so I had to walk down the mountain, the way down the mountain was flat and downhill, but I walked very heavy, I originally thought that after going out from here, I would just accompany Qiu Yan to visit the mountains and rivers and visit the people, but then one bizarre thing after another followed, but although those things were difficult to understand, I also tried my best to digest them.
But now, I find that these things are completely different from what I expected, and even the things involved are completely incomprehensible to me, and the time span of these things is beyond my imagination, and the people who laid out these things are far smarter than me.
I have a vague feeling that things started here, and it is likely that it will end here, and as for how it will "end", I don't know, and I dare not imagine.
When I got home, I told my parents that Qiu Yan had asked me to travel to Xi'an, and if my grandmother called me to ask, she would lie and say that I was still at home.
When my mother heard that I was going to travel with Qiu Yan, she was naturally so happy that she couldn't care about anything, and she agreed to whatever I said.
I booked my plane ticket that night, and the next day I was transferred to the provincial capital, where I boarded a plane to Xi'an in the evening.
Qiu Yan said on the phone that she came to Xi'an to find the hero of Yangling, presumably she still had the idea that if she found the hero of Yangling, she could find the spearhead of the tiger bone, that is, she didn't believe Chen Fangyuan at all.
To be honest, I don't believe Chen Fangyuan either, but I don't think he lied about Chen Fangyuan's statement about the tiger bone spearhead, otherwise, the Qiu family wouldn't have searched for centuries to just get that ridiculous rubbing.
However, Qiu Yan's sudden move was the intention of An and me, and I had long had the idea of investigating this Yangling hero, and I thought that even if it wasn't for the purpose of investigating the tortoise shell, it would be worth figuring out the origin of the soul killer.
In fact, since Long Quan said about Yangling Daxia in the hotel on the day of the fight, I have checked the relevant information on the Internet.
Almost all the introductions about Yangling heroes will eventually come down to the scourge of witches, and about the relationship between the witch curse and Yangling heroes, the Internet only says that the disaster of witches originated from Yangling heroes Zhu Anshi.
As for how Zhu Anshi started the witch curse, the Internet is very vague, and the Internet only says that Zhu Anshi framed Gongsun He, and connects him with the witch curse with Jiang Chong and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as the protagonists.
Interestingly, these materials record the time of Zhu Anshi's arrest and later framing Gongsun He in detail, but after Zhu Anshi framed Gongsun He, and whether Zhu Anshi died in the same year, etc., there is no mention above, as if after this, this Yangling hero disappeared mysteriously.
As for history, I have always believed that it is just a distorted story embellished by those in power, and the real historical facts cannot be seen in the history books.
Since the history books link Zhu Anshi with the witch curse, it means that Zhu Anshi must have played an important role in this incident, and the period from Jiang Chong to Jiang Chong's appearance was deliberately erased by the person in power, that is, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Xi'an, the famous ancient capital of China, even people like me who have no knowledge of history know that there have been several dynasties in China for 5,000 years, and the Han Dynasty is even more famous.
Today's Xi'an, although it still has a little bit of the color of the ancient capital, but most of it is already a modern city, if I didn't come this time to investigate the events of more than 2,000 years, maybe I would not have experienced the city's sense of history at all.
Qiu Yan has now returned to Xi'an from Xianyang in order to meet me, and we have made an appointment to meet in front of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
After meeting, Qiu Yan naturally took my arm.
"Zimu, in the past, I didn't know how ancient China is, but this time I went to Xi'an to know that China is not only ancient, but also mysterious, you said that if these things we investigated were known by those big-nosed foreigners, would they yearn for this country more?" Qiu Yan looked at the night in Xi'an and sighed with a blurred look.
"It's a pity, we, the descendants of Yan and Huang, are not angry, these things left by our ancestors, even if we learn one percent, it is enough for those white-skinned pigs to be dumbfounded."
"Hey, you don't have to be presumptuous, aren't you learning now?"
"Hehe, I just don't know what it is, and I don't even know what it is."
"By the way, didn't you say last time you went back to the provincial capital after the Lantern Festival? Why did you come out in such a hurry? ”
I was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "Let's talk about this later, you can talk about it first, what have you found?" ”
Qiu Yan sighed, "Hey, what can I find?" Yangling is the same as the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, it is a mausoleum, in addition, there is no clue about the Yangling hero, and people don't know what this Yangling hero is. ”
"Qiu Yan, you came to check the heroes of Yangling with such great interest, do you still want to find the tiger bone spearhead?" I asked tentatively.
Qiu Yan seemed to have been pierced by me, and her face turned red, "Zimu, I don't believe you, I don't believe Chen Fangyuan, I always feel that they won't make up the word tiger bone spearhead, I believe that even if the tiger bone spearhead doesn't exist, there must be something related." ”
"Hehe, you don't need to explain, this is a matter of life and death for you, since you want to check, just check, just right, I also want to find out what this soul killer is."
Qiu Yan immediately became happy after hearing this, "Yes, I think so too, Long Quan doesn't say this or that, I think when we find out, he will have to say it, right." ”
"Oh, yes!"
"That~~~ How do you want to check?" Qiu Yan tilted her head and asked.
I paused and thought for a moment, and then said, "I don't think we can ask so thoughtlessly, after all, this was more than 2,000 years ago, and if you are not a historian, who can know that far ago?" I think that since this matter started because of my sword, then we should start with that sword. ”
"Sword?" Qiu Yan didn't seem to understand.
"You think," I explained, "where did my sword come from?" It was Chen Fangyuan who fished it out from the bottom of Poyang Lake! So who was the sword stuck at the bottom of Poyang Lake? It's Chen Youliang! Where did Chen Youliang get it? ”
Qiu Yan immediately understood what I meant, "Yes, in this way, your ancestors must know where the sword came from, right?" ”
