Chapter 256 20 The Legend of the Queen of the Town Kingdom
Time flies quickly, Lin Jinghao is in the book, but he never finds what he wants to see.
Gu Qing no longer reads, but instead looked at Lin Jinghao with his chin in his hand, and really, "A man who works hard is the most attractive!" ’
"Director Lin, we're going to close in half an hour." The sky gradually got dark, and Uncle Xu also walked up again and began to remind Lin Jinghao.
"By the way, Uncle Xu, why doesn't this book have a record before the Xinhai Revolution?" Lin Jinghao has basically finished reading the book, but the more he reads, the more doubts he has. Because although the book looks old, the font at the back is getting clearer and clearer, giving people the feeling that this is not an original version, but a later copy.
"Director Lin, do you want to investigate something so far ago?"
"yes, I want to see the history of the city." Lin Jinghao couldn't say it directly, so he could only pretend to be a little disappointed.
"You need to know our history here... I would like to recommend you a person, that is, Director Yu of our cultural center here, he is our history expert here, if you have anything to ask, you should definitely look for him. ”
"And how do you find him?" Lin Jinghao asked.
"Please, I'll take you." Before Uncle Xu could answer, Gu Qing jumped out again.
"That's right, Officer Gu and Director Yu are very familiar with each other." Uncle Xu smiled, he can get off work on time now.
"Well, you want to ask me why I know everyone, right?" got into the car, looking at Lin Jinghao's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Gu Qing said mischievously.
"Yes, Miss Gu, you know everything." Lin Jinghao reluctantly started the car and drove in the direction she pointed.
Director Yu's home is located in a corner of the town, where there is an artificial lake in front of the community and a rolling green hill in the back.
Curator Yu lives in a small European-style western-style building, the two got out of the car, walked up and knocked on the door, and a middle-aged man in his forties came out and opened the door: "Is Curator Yu here?" In Lin Jinghao's heart, this person should be the son of Director Yu, because an old scholar like Director Yu must be at least seventy or eighty.
"Gu Qing, who is this?" The middle-aged man ignored Lin Jinghao and looked at Gu Qing instead.
"This is Director Lin, and this is Director Yu." Gu Qing smiled and introduced the two sides.
"I'm sorry Director Yu, I thought..." Hearing that the other party was Director Yu, Lin Jinghao's face was a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, it's okay, please come in, please come in." Director Yu smiled and welcomed the two into the living room.
After sitting down, Director Yu asked, "Are you here..."
"We, Director Lin, want to know about the history here." Gu Qing replied instead of Lin Jinghao.
"Well, then you'll have to wait for me, I'll make a pot of tea." Speaking of history, Director Yu's spirit immediately became excited, this is 'sleepiness met the pillow.' ’
As Curator Yu returned from making tea, he began to tell the story of the local history.
Curator Yu took a sip of tea first, then leaned back comfortably on the sofa and said: "You must think that a small place like ours will not have any history to tell, but in fact, the history of our place has been verified by me, it has a long history, and it is full of ancient and mysterious colors.
Many years ago, we used to be a country called Jumachi Province, and it was one of the first tribal states. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was adjacent to the ancient Dian Kingdom and Yelang Kingdom at that time, and was called the "Little Three Kingdoms".
At that time, the country was ruled by a queen named "Mubo", and the people lived a prosperous and stable life. However, with the rise of the neighboring kingdom of Yelang, he began to unite with other small neighboring states to disobey the Han Dynasty. Also often harassed and his neighboring country of Jumachi. ”
"Is the country of Yoro you are talking about the country of 'Yoro arrogant'?" Hearing this, Gu Qing couldn't help but interject and ask.
"That's right, it's this 'Yoro arrogant' Yoro country. In fact, it is said that it is arrogant, and his territory was indeed not small at that time, but it was a little arrogant compared to the Han Dynasty. The key is that he also has an army of hundreds of thousands, and even if the Han Dynasty repeatedly sent troops to suppress it, it could not quell his rebellion, but suffered heavy casualties.
As a result, some strategists suggested adopting the method of razing and countering razing, and uniting the country of Jumachi to quell the rebellion. This news leaked out of the news, and after Emperor Wu of Yelang Kingdom knew about it, Yelang Country immediately sent troops to invade Jumachi Country, which was not an opponent, and could only flee into the mountains behind under the leadership of the queen. ”
"Then did we defeat Yoro Country later?" Director Yu said this, paused, took a sip of tea, Lin Jinghao heard the key place, but he was in a hurry.
Later, the development of the war situation is impossible to verify, there is a history record that the Yelang Kingdom disappeared overnight, saying that an official of the Han Dynasty, a man single-handedly broke into the camp of the Yelang King and assassinated his king. Then, Yelang Kingdom mysteriously disappeared like this.
Actually, I've always found this explanation a bit far-fetched. Do you think, at that time, such a powerful country was extinct just because the king was killed? Can't a new king be chosen to preside over the overall situation?
There is also a theory that the queen of "Wubo" finally joined forces with the army of the Han Dynasty and defeated the Yelang Kingdom, and also won the reward of the Han Dynasty. Unlike other vassal states, the state was never governed by the Han Dynasty's county system and remained an independent tribal state. ”
"Then which statement do you think is more in line with the truth?" I didn't expect that this small place where I was located had such a deep history, which really aroused Lin Jinghao's strong interest.
"I think the third argument makes more sense."
"Is there a third way to say it?" Director Yu suddenly said the third statement, which made Lin Jinghao's heart excited.
"Yes, but it's just folklore, and there's no way to verify it now."
"Say it quickly," Gu Qing was also fascinated by this, and she began to urge.
"Legend has it that after retreating to the mountains, Queen Wubo met the soul of the queen of another neighboring Luo Yue Fang Kingdom, 'Ya Wang'. "Ya Wang", who is revered as the "Mother King" in witch songs, has a legend throughout her country: on the day she died, all the sparrows stopped calling, which implied that she was the bird king. And this "Ya Wang" is said to be proficient in witchcraft, and can come back from the dead!
So, Queen Wubo turned to "Ya Wang" for help, resurrected her dead soldiers and subjects, and then, with the help of her witchcraft, suddenly came out of the mountains overnight, killed the Yelang Kingdom by surprise, and destroyed the Yelang Kingdom in one fell swoop. ”
"Uncle Yu, what you are saying is getting more and more outrageous, you are promoting feudal superstition!" Gu Qing quit, she wanted to hear the story of a prince's revenge, but who knows, but it was a supernatural ending.
This legend is a bit exaggerated, but it is the best reason to explain why an ancient kingdom with an army of 100,000 would suddenly disappear overnight, isn't it? Hahaha," Uncle Yu laughed.
In fact, there are many supernatural things in this world that we can't explain, but we haven't figured out the mystery of it.
"And what kind of witchcraft are they using?" Lin Jinghao ignored Gu Qing's unhappiness, he still wanted to find the answer from Director Yu.
"This, can I say? Don't give me a big hat to promote feudal superstition, I can't bear it! Director Yu looked at Gu Qing's angry appearance and said tentatively.
Gu Qing glanced at Lin Jinghao and said reluctantly: "Say it, I'm here to see the face of our Director Lin." ”
"Okay, actually, this is going to talk about wild history again." Seeing the two young people, they had to continue to listen, and Director Yu became more interested.
"Do we have a wild history in this small place?"
"Yes, there was an appalling event here back then, and it is impossible to record it in the official history."
"Say it quickly," Lin Jinghao glared at Gu Qing, because Gu Qing was about to turn his face again.
"Legend has it that on a dark and windy night in the moon, suddenly, I don't know where many zombies came out, and they bit people when they saw them, and the people they bitten, as if they had an infectious disease, would bite others again, and when it was dawn, they all died when they saw the sun, and the blood in their bodies... It's all artificially drained. ”
"Uncle Yu! I thought you'd say something about magical witchcraft that we hadn't heard of, weren't you talking about vampires? Gu Qing finally couldn't help but explode.
"You're right, it's called a vampire abroad, but in China, it's called a zombie. In fact, according to my speculation, the queen of "Wubo" used the witchcraft taught to her by "Ya Wang" to resurrect his soldiers, and then let her soldiers return to the battlefield with a contagious virus to infect the 100,000 warriors of Yelang Kingdom. Then, one passed ten, ten passed hundred, which finally led to the complete disappearance of Yelang Country from this territory overnight. ”
"That's... So how did they suddenly appear in the Yelang Army, and it still doesn't make sense? Gu Qing still didn't give up.
"Don't forget, the tribe of 'Ya Wang' called her the Bird King, and her people were called 'Birdmen' at that time. Perhaps, they really have a way to fly..."Director Yu began to tease Gu Qing again, but Lin Jinghao had already heard it, and the answer he wanted to hear.
"Then where did the Queen of "Wubo" go? Lin Jinghao ignored Gu Qing's dissatisfaction and continued to ask.
The Queen of "Wubo" was cursed while using witchcraft, so she was never seen again. It is said that she is still hidden in the mountains, and she carries a large amount of treasure with her, which is one of the countless treasure hunters who want to find the mysterious missing treasure. ”
After Curator Yu's story was finished, his face became solemn, and it could be seen that although what he said was just a legend, it was definitely the result of his countless researches!
