Chapter 103: The Man Who Carved His Name

He walked up in a few steps, his whole face almost lying on the copper wall, and carefully touched the names of these people with his fingers.

The names of those three people, Chen Laosan just read them casually, and they were not in a certain order.

I took a look, the leftmost one is "Chi You", the second column has only one word "Yu", a total of nine people's names, and the rightmost one is Meng Fanzhong he just read.

Although I dropped out of school after only one semester in the second year of junior high school, I still have good knowledge of history and know who this Chiyou is.

The era in which Chiyou lived was at least a thousand years earlier than Dayu, and it was still the period of ancient civilization, and this "Yu" should refer to Dayu. Some of the next few names I have heard of, and some of them have not, especially the last name, Meng Fanzhong.

Uncle Shi gently touched his fingers from left to right one by one, as if he was very excited, and his hand stopped when he swiped on the last name.

I said in my heart, whether it is Chiyou or Dayu, even if it is Zhang Sanfeng, they are all well-known figures in history, but how can this uncle seem to be particularly excited about this Meng Fanzhong! Does he know?

Zhang Kailong was also full of surprise, but what surprised him was not the names of these people, but the words themselves. He approached this copper wall, glanced at these names a few times, and directly gasped!

"What is this name carved on, it looks like the strokes are very rough, it shouldn't be a sharp blade, and besides, you can't bring a sharp blade into this place...... It seems like...... I look like I carved it directly with my fingernails! ”

"You don't have to doubt it, these names are scratched with fingernails!"

Uncle Shi didn't raise his head, and then said.

What the? Could it be that these people will "have a yang finger"? I was shocked, and naturally thought of the Dali Duan family's peerless Yang Finger in martial arts.

Uncle Shi didn't seem to care how these names were engraved, and he turned to look at me, with a little sadness on his face in addition to doubt.

"Xiao Zhen, don't you know who this Meng Fanzhong is?"

"I ...... I don't know! It should also be a historical celebrity in history! I replied.

"Historical figures? There will never be such a name in future history, and even now, there are no more than five people who know that he once existed! ”

As soon as I heard what Uncle Shi said so mysteriously, I became even more curious, and hurriedly asked, "Old grandson! Don't sell it, just tell us! Who is this? ”

"It's just that others don't know, I didn't expect that even you don't know, hey!" After saying that, he sighed.

Uncle Shi turned around again and touched the name Meng Fanzhong, then suddenly turned to look at me, and said in a hoarse voice: "This is your master!" Your master's name is Meng Fanzhong! ”

"What? My Master! "For a moment, I wanted to laugh.

The so-called Master and I are actually only one-sided, but after his death, I have been inextricably linked with him.

"My master's name is Meng Fanzhong?" The name came so suddenly that I was a little overwhelmed for a while.

Uncle Shi said, "Look at the names of these nine people, they should be engraved in the order in which they came here......

Uncle Shi said that so far, the records about Chiyou are still limited to myths, and even many historians doubt whether such a person really existed in history. This is different from Dayu, whether it is "three times through the door without entering", or the later "success of water control", and then to the later "secretly passed the throne to his son Qi", it has been widely accepted by the world.

Regarding this Daoling, listening to Uncle Shi's story is more bullish.

Zhang Daoling is the first generation of Zhang Tianshi, and also the founder of Tianshi Dao, it is said that he was a master of Taoism in the late Han Dynasty, and he rose to immortal in the daytime, when he was 123 years old. I don't doubt Zhang Daoling's longevity, after all, cultivators pay attention to health preservation, and they also know how to maintain health, and it is possible to live a long life.

But I don't agree with him when he ascends to heaven in the daytime, how can a person overcome the gravitational pull of the earth and ascend to heaven for no reason, even an eagle can't fly into the atmosphere, let alone a human. I think this is just a fabrication by posterity.

So, Zhang Tianshi didn't ascend, where did he go? Uncle Shi sneered twice, and said that he saw such a record in a Taoist secretary: Zhang Daoling lived to be 123 years old, but was swallowed by a big python, Zhang Tianshi's son Zhang Heng was afraid that this matter would be embarrassing, so he pretended that his father Zhang Tianshi had risen in the daytime, and later generations believed in this myth.

The original text of the secretary was written like this, and Uncle Shi was also fascinated by it for a while, and recited it again, I took the dragon egg, and now as far as memorizing the scriptures is concerned, it is not modest to say that it has reached the level of unforgettable. The secretary wrote in that paragraph:

Zhang Daoling avoided the malaria hill society, got the art of cursing ghosts, and then used talismans to make ghosts heal, and then swallowed by pythons. Ziheng rushed to, looking for the corpse, but the birth of the hoove, placed on the top of the stone cliff, entrusted to the day to ascend to heaven, so far the past dynasties worship, called the heavenly master, good and ridiculous.

In addition to ascending to heaven and becoming an immortal, Zhang Daoling's most bullish thing is "cultivating and eliminating demons".

Speaking of Zhang Daoling, many people may feel unfamiliar, but if it is Zhang Tianshi, there should be many people who want to know!

It is said that he relied on the magic weapon (that is the highest artifact in Taoism) to eliminate demons and subdue demons in the Bashu area, and did a lot of earth-shattering things, and later many Taoists also regarded him as the founder of Taoism.

As for Zhang Sanfeng, I think most people know about him through Jin Yong's martial arts "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", which says that he is the founder of the Wudang School.

In fact, Zhang Sanfeng in history is also quite legendary, and he is definitely not inferior to martial arts.

Uncle Shi only said one thing about him.

Zhang Sanfeng was born in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty (some people say that it was the end of the Southern Song Dynasty), and during the period of Zhu Hongwu, as an idle Taoist, there are many anecdotes. He was still barefoot in the cold winter and fell asleep when he was sleepy. Once he was sleeping on the street, and suddenly it snowed heavily, and the temperature plummeted, and many people saw him covered by the snow. The next morning, when the street shop opened its door, I saw that he was still asleep, but the snow within a meter of him had melted and was still steaming.

Later, these things were passed into the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was looking for Zhang Sanfeng until he died, and his son Zhu Di also searched for a lifetime, until a hundred years later, during the Wanli period, there were still many people who claimed to have seen Zhang Sanfeng, some said in the north, some said in the south, and some said that in a small number of private capital areas in the west, the people who saw him said that he was still the same, disheveled, and did not get old at all.

So Emperor Wanli's life was also looking for him.

It can be said that more than half of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were looking for Zhang Sanfeng.

Speaking of this, Uncle Shi showed a weird smile at me and asked me, "Don't you think that Zhang Sanfeng's disappearance is the same era as the brief disappearance of a certain type of person?" ”

"A certain kind of people? Who is it! I was fascinated by what I was listening to, and I was suddenly asked by him, and I was a little confused.

"It's the river god!" Chen Laosan said suddenly.
