As soon as Helan Chuzhen's words box opened, everyone's eyes followed him.

What flying immortals under the moon, turning shadows in the night,

The black cat with a mouthful of words, the giant who comes and goes without a trace,

I'm afraid this is not the content that can only be seen in the baby's "Sou Shen Ji"?

Most of the people present were staunch supporters of Confucian atheism.

Especially a character like Zu Dashao, who is not stingy with all cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, where would he believe his nonsense?

But after all, the three of them became tigers, and the Flying Immortal King under the moon was also real.

Although he didn't see any talking cats or invisible giants,

However, Helan Chuzhen's confession is logical and clear, and once one thing is confirmed, the other strange tales will also be a little more true.

Among the people present, the most calm were the two big guys, King Ren Cheng and Tianci Zhenren,

They looked at each other and smiled from time to time, and they seemed to know something inside, and they knew each other tacitly.

King Ren Cheng did not reprimand Helan for his absurdity, but just sighed noncommittally, then turned to Kang Sang and asked,

"Can the cause of death be clarified?"

"Returning to the prince.

A total of 13 people died, two Baohui secret spies, four city gate guards, two patrolmen, two husbands, one temporary handyman in the imperial dining room, one Baoyi guerrilla, and one innocent passerby.

The places of death were mainly distributed in the north and west of the city.

Judging from the cause of death, the old devil of the demon slave must have been involved.

The unique suffocation damage caused by his drowning palm is the most detectable.

In addition, there are also top kendo masters among the attacking enemies, and Xiu Wei is probably not under Mr. Worm II.

This Baoyi guerrilla is named Cui Zuqiu, who comes from the Cui family of Qinghe, and is famous and a good hand.

There are thirteen sword wounds on his body, the sword shape is the same, the depth is the same, and even the blood clotting condition is almost the same, it is obvious that there are masters in one go, and even thirteen swords.

The opponent can control the force angle so accurately, it must be the result of crushing the strength.

The two Baohui secret spies, the cause of death is different, they were attacked and killed from behind.

It shows that when General Helan was following the night walkers, there were still yellow finches behind.

However, the target of the night walker tracked by General Helan was Miss Mochou, and it seemed that he was not the same as the infiltrator who attacked the city gate, so he should be dealt with separately.

There is only so much that can be thought of now, only for the prince's reference. ”

Kang Sang is not good-looking, and he is always not angry on weekdays, and he can't attract the attention of others at all, but he can have such insight at a critical moment, which makes Qingyun's opinion of him quite change.

Qingyun heard that someone could use a fast sword, so he reminded him,

"Could this master of the Thirteen Deadly Swords be the Yujiulu Brahmin?"

Kangsang shook his head,

"I have seen a sword wound from a cockroach in Lanruo,

Shensha, Chaoyun and the rich man's injuries have all been personally examined.

The cockroach is more delicate, and in the way of the Yujiu Lu Brahmins, it is faster and faster, and it cannot be controlled so precisely. ”

"So this person's swordsmanship is still above that of Brahmins?"

"Yes, and more than a minute and a half."

Qingyun listened to it secretly.

According to Kang Sang's inference, this person is several grades higher than the Brahmins, and even above Mr. Worm Er, so there are only a few people in the world who can be his opponents.

Although the current Tiger Prison Pass has a wide range of soldiers and is heavily guarded, if you really want to talk about the top masters, I am afraid that even Xiao Feng's level will not be able to pick out a few.

If there is really a master with great magical powers who has mixed into the pass, and uses the large-scale celebration as a cover, he suddenly rises up, and he is brave and dangerous, who can match it?

The matter of preventing stabbing was not his turn Qingyun to worry about.

This young man, who once came to the north with the same purpose, was actually taking great pains for the safety of King Wei at this time.

Is this subtle change of perspective the personal charm of King Wei or the reversal of his worldview?

People walk in the world, follow their hearts, and sometimes look back at the changes they have made, just like the vicissitudes of life.

However, for Qingyun, the safety of King Wei is always too far away, and the safety of his friends must always be taken care of first.

Tonight, in order to prevent anyone from attacking Miss Mochou again, the four brothers who had worshiped the handle decided to take turns to keep vigil.

Cai Ting and Se Ke also intended to join in the fun, but several men were very responsible characters and resolutely refused to allow it.

In this way, it also changed the peace of the night.

Before dawn, the sergeants in charge of the layout of the venue and the palace people in the dining room had already begun to get busy.

Li Chong made his own arrangements for the rituals and rituals, which saved King Wei a lot of thought.

There are many original aspects of this great festival, the first of which is to worship the river god with Buddhist rituals.

In the past, the ancestors of the mountains and rivers were worshipped, and the Taoist dojo evolved from the ancestral belief was used.

However, since the Northern Wei Dynasty, since Gaozong, the Buddha was worshipped and the Tao was suppressed, and the sacrificial rituals needed to explore some new rules.

Li Chong really wasted a lot of brains in order to sacrifice to the river god, and inquired about many Western Tianzhu sacrificial rituals, and finally let him find some usable basis.

Legend has it that Lao Tzu went to the west to transform the Three Qings, and all religions in the world worship the god of the Trinity.

Therefore, there are three saints in Tianzhu, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.

The three saints of Tianzhu competed with the demons to drink the immortal Yaochi elixir, overturned the wine jug, and spilled it on the world, so that there was the Ganges, Yahe and Sa River.

Therefore, the Tianzhu people periodically sacrificed to the three rivers, painted their bodies with ochre, did not bask in the water of the holy river, carried the pot for empowerment, shared the scattered Yao Chi elixir, and prayed for peace and longevity.

This festival is called the Teapot Festival in Tianzhu, and the Chinese translators translate it as the Uncovered Assembly because of their customs.

Although the model has been found, the rules still cannot be copied.

At the time, Huaxia got rid of Ru Mao and drank blood, and the habit of living in caves has been more than 1,000 years.

In particular, the current King of Wei is very opposed to the immoral sacrificial customs.

The unveiled unveiled assembly of the unveiled assembly cannot be copied as it is.

Therefore, Li Chong wrote an article on the text, explaining the Confucian culture that there is no threshold and everyone who comes is a guest, and determines the tone of giving to the world and benefiting all sentient beings.

Later, the bathing pot was changed to splash water to pray for blessings.

Water in Chinese culture, there is a beautiful meaning of wealth,

Splashing water to pray for blessings not only retains the prayer custom of bathing in holy water in Tianzhu, but also helps to make the Chinese people understand and accept.

Li Chong is from the Li clan in Longxi, and is not only deeply influenced by Lao Tzu's nonsense, but also a senior expert in Taoist rituals.

Tianzhu is unobscured and the customs are too simple, and many of the details are missing.

If you want to transplant Middle-earth, you need to integrate and improve it with the Central Plains culture and the original sacrificial customs of Taoism.

What was originally a bathing and praying for blessings was a new flower bloomed in Middle-earth, and it became an unsheltered dojo where land and water went together.

High-crowned costumes, ceremonial movements, all of them should be elegant, and everything is missing.

All imported things are blessed with Chinese characteristics, and this power of turning decay into magic is the best embodiment of cultural inclusiveness.

Regarding the canonization of the Uncovered Conference, although there are some domestic mysterious forces that continue to whitewash, its canon is indeed "uncovered", which is recorded in detail in the "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", and there is no false description in the text. I don't think there's any shame in this, because after the improvement of the Chinese Northern Buddhism, the land and water will be a very high ceremony. This set was later learned by Xiao Yan, and the earliest record of the Wusha Conference in Chinese history books was written by Xiao Yan's classmate Zhang Luo. We just borrowed Li Chong and talked about the process of this cultural integration.

The eight foreign surnames of Xianbei mentioned in this section, also known as the eight surnames of Xunchen, are the eight families that were included in the list of sinicization when Yuan Hong first changed customs: Qiu Muling, Bu Liugu, He Lai/Helan, Dugu, He Lou, Don't Yu Yu, Su Xi, and Wei Chi Eight surnames.

After clicking on these two strokes, we will begin to talk about the key point of this section, the time test of the introduction of watermelons and pumpkins into China.

In the first two chapters, we mentioned that Qingyun ate cold melon at the banquet, and cold melon is a name for watermelon in ancient times. Regarding the time when watermelons were introduced to China, the Western notary theory is that the Khitans introduced them to China from the Western Regions in the 10th century AD. Mr. Li Shizhen said again: "Five generations ago, melon seeds have entered eastern Zhejiang, but there is no name of watermelon, not all over China." Mr. Li's strength is to distinguish the things of the world by tasting herbs, and he is really not good at archaeology. The origin of species is basically based on hearsay, and there is no basis. So he didn't dare to say when watermelons were introduced, he only said that it was five generations ago, and he used a cover, even he himself was not sure.

For all agricultural species, the most authoritative classic is naturally the aforementioned "Qi Min Yaoshu", which has a lot of inductions about melons and fruits:

Western Jin Dynasty "Guangzhi": Guazhou big melon, as big as Hu, out of Liangzhou. Whiskers, the old Yang City royal melon. There is a green gourd, as big as three liters.

"Historical Records": The one who summoned peace, so the Marquis of Qin Dongling. Qin Po, for cloth clothes, poor family, planted melons in the east of Chang'an City. Guamei, so the world is called "aventurine melon", from the beginning of Zhaoping.

"Hanshu Geography": Stewed Huang, Gugua Prefecture, there are beautiful melons in the land.

"Yongjia Ji" of the Western Jin Dynasty: Yongjia melon, moon, the flesh is green and red, sweet and refreshing, and the victory of all melons.

From one, three or two, it can be seen that Gugua Prefecture has produced melons since the Han Dynasty, which is as large as a ten-liter container. In addition to watermelon, pumpkin and winter melon, what other melon can bear such a big one? However, at that time, pumpkin did not enter China, and winter melon was called winter melon with other species. We can also know from the fourth article that there are melons in the Western Jin Dynasty, which are sweet and light. What is this melon not watermelon? Could it be the oversized red heart dragon fruit? From the second article, it can be seen that watermelons may have been introduced to Chang'an as early as the Qin Dynasty. The description of ancient books is already so specific, why do you still praise the stinky feet of Western scholars? Have they read the Chinese version of "Qi Min Yaoshu"? Whether they know the book or not is a question.

By the way, in "Qi Min's Technique", the yellow gourd, papaya, courgette, soil gourd, loofah, yue melon, and winter gourd are already available. We don't need to worry about the food basket of the ancients at all.

Next, let's talk about pumpkins, which are another species involved in the "Columbus Exchange". According to the Western view, pumpkins could not have existed in the Old World before the Ming Dynasty. But in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, pumpkins were already all over China, isn't this a bit fast?

We have asked Li Shizhen, a contemporary botanist in the Ming Dynasty, to come up with his research results: pumpkins were planted in the south and transferred to Fujian and Zhejiang, and there are also in Yanjing today. Planted in February, suitable for sand fertile land, seedlings in April, the vines are very numerous, and a vine can be extended for more than ten zhang...... Its seeds are like winter melon seeds, its flesh is thick and yellow, can not be eaten raw, but peeled and crushed, the taste is like yam, and the pork is better cooked, and it can also be fried with honey.

The flesh is thick and yellow like winter melon seeds, and this account has been characterized as a modern pumpkin. Li Shizhen lived only 50 years later than Columbus, and in these 50 years, pumpkins spread from the Americas to Europe, from Europe to South Asia, then to Fujian and Zhejiang, and finally to Yanjing...... That's fast enough! It is important to know that it takes at least several years for a new species to be accepted by the soil and water in ancient times and master its habits, and it will take several generations of harvesting to truly stabilize and continue to spread the seeds.

Of course, this kind of empirical inference is not a real hammer, so we will give it a real hammer. Jia Ming, a descendant of Jia Sixian, a health practitioner of the Yuan Dynasty, recorded in "Dietary Instructions": pumpkin, sweet taste, warm sex, and jaundice with beriberi after eating more. It is eaten with mutton, which is infuriating. Do not eat with pork liver, red beans, and soba noodles.

The sweet, warm pumpkin is considered perjured by all "Western" scholars on the grounds that Columbus did not discover the New World. However, combined with Li Shizhen's description, since the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the eating properties of pumpkins have been widely mastered, spread throughout the country and used for cooking, and it will definitely not be a new species that has been imported several times at that time.
