Chapter 70: The Soul of the Mountain
Yu Xia followed Li Tong to find the cages he said about storing manuscripts in Wang Yi's study, but because of the large number of manuscripts and the messy classification, Yu Xia asked the two messengers to move the boxes back to the county government's residence, and closed the door for a few days, only concentrating on consulting notes.
The people are still crazy day by day, except for Yu Xia who made them fall asleep when they were just sent, everything else was taken care of by Wen Yun and the officials, and there was no big mess. It's just that Yu Xia looked at the manuscripts piled up into a small mountain and was a little anxious, it had been three days, and the situation of these people would become more and more dangerous if it continued like this.
I heard that Baili Yexi has been going out every day recently, and he seems to have some eyebrows, if his head goes well, it would be best to solve this matter as soon as possible.
Yu Xia didn't care if she won or lost the gamble, she was willing to make this bet with Baili Yexi, and she also took advantage of the situation, so that Baili Yexi put away her careless attitude and tried her best to solve the matter, on the other hand, it was naturally because she didn't care about the bead as a bet.
Whether she has the ability or not, whether Baili Yexi approves or not, she never cares from beginning to end.
As long as she knows for herself what level of her ability has reached and what step she can take, this is enough.
The Tao is cultivated for oneself, not for others to see.
Yu Xia was scratching her head at the manuscript notes, and Wang Yi, who had just recovered from a serious injury, came to look for her.
"Miss Yu, I heard that you checked these notes and historical materials to save the people of Jintan County."
Wang Yi held a cane, refused Yu Xia's action of stepping forward to help, and carefully supported the table, the servant behind him had already laid a soft cushion on the chair, and he gently sat sideways opposite Yu Xia.
Yu Xia nodded, "Master Wang, have you carefully read your ancestor's notes?" โ
Wang Yi was in a bad condition before, and Yu Xia couldn't ask for help no matter how anxious he was, but now that he took the initiative to come to the door, Yu Xia naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity.
Wang Yi shook his head, "It's not a secret, that ancestor has no intention of career, only loves to travel, and everything he has experienced in the places he has passed will be recorded in detail, and he settled here after the founding of this dynasty." Our Wang family also started after that ancestor, but there are fewer people who read his notes carefully from generation to generation, and my father only asked me to read more scriptures and theories so that I could cope with scientific examinations. โ
"Do you know what your ancestors' manuscripts are?"
The reason why Yu Xia's recent head is big is mainly because of this, Wang Yi was born in a scholarly family, and it has been passed down from many generations in three hundred years, even if they are manuscripts, the number of collections is also very large, and the content is mixed, Yu Xia has been distinguishing one by one for three days, and she has not found what she is looking for, and until now she has only read a small half of the many manuscripts.
Yu Xia didn't think about finding an errand to interrupt her literacy to help her find it, but this was borrowed from Wang Yi, and it was related to his family notes, how could she let outsiders read the manuscript books in other people's private collections?
Not to mention that some manuscripts have been passed down for hundreds of years and are extremely fragile, and if one accidentally destroys those books, then she will be guilty of a great crime.
Wang Yi still shook his head, "I haven't read it, I'll help you find it." โ
The master asked to help in person, Yu Xia naturally did not refuse, and immediately told Wang Yi that she wanted to find the year of the manuscript book and some other requirements.
"It is a record of the big and small events that happened in Jintan County in those years, or the events that happened in the surrounding counties affected Jintan County."
The efficiency of someone to help is naturally much higher, not to mention that although this Wang Yi is a landed talent, he is also a serious scholar who has studied hard for ten years, which is much stronger than Yu Xia, a little girl who has just entered school for less than half a year, and within half a day, Wang Yi will have results.
"Miss Yu, I found it." Wang Yi looked a little excited, not knowing if he was trying to find what Yu Xia wanted or something else.
Wang Yi held a yellowed booklet in his hand, the booklet was extremely thin, just casually bound with scattered paper, sandwiched in the thick pile of books inconspicuous, it was not easy for Wang Yi to find.
Yu Xia looked at one of his fingers and listened to him read, "In the twenty-third year of Yanguang, King Yizhang and King Han fought in the suburbs of Jintan, King Han was defeated, and King Yizhang killed 300,000 militia of King Han at the foot of Jishan Mountain. โ
With the words that Wang Yi had just read ringing in his ears, Yu Xia only felt inexplicably dizzy when he looked at the words on the booklet, and his eyes suddenly turned a little black.
After Wang Yi finished speaking, he didn't listen to her reply and looked up suspiciously, but he only saw that her face was pale and her expression was in a trance, and she couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Miss Yu, what's wrong with you?" โ
Yu Xia was suddenly startled, and his whole body was filled with a coldness, and he finally came back to his senses after listening to Wang Yi's words.
Yu Xia found that he seemed to be about to faint, so he immediately touched the porcelain bottle on his waist and poured the pill into his mouth, and after the breathing eased for a while, the dizziness finally slowly subsided, but there were still some remnants left in Yu Xia's brain.
She's just ...... Were you shocked by Emperor Taizu's pit killing of the militia?
It's no wonder that Yu Xia thinks so, it's too unbelievable to see the truth.
Wang Yi also felt incredible, the wise and martial Emperor Taizu, who was praised by everyone, had done such a murderous thing. No wonder the history of Jintan County has no record of what happened during that time.
That's right, King Yizhang is the name of Emperor Taizu before he ascended the throne, Yanguang twenty-three years, the seventeenth year of the world turmoil, the situation has gradually become clear, most of the warlords in the Central Plains have gone, and the last big forces are only King Yizhang and King Han.
King Han started an incident in the south of the Yangtze River, and because Jintan County is located in the Yangtze River Pass, it is a place where soldiers must fight, so King Han deployed his core forces here to make the final decisive battle with King Yizhang.
The end of that war was the defeat of King Han, but what the world didn't know was that King Yizhang actually killed 300,000 militiamen.
Yu Xia does not doubt the records in this codex, first, Wang Yi, the ancestor is said to be quite famous, and he strives to "preserve the truth" in the records of mountains and rivers, geography, customs, and historical materials, so it is impossible for such a person to make up such a big and shocking secret. Not to mention that he himself did not have a biography, but wrote it in such an inconspicuous book, which should also be taboo.
There was also a reasonโshe felt a slight tremor in the depths of her soul, trying to tell her that what she heard was what had really happened.
The 300,000 militiamen were not all soldiers under the command of King Han, but also included 30,000 ordinary people in Jintan County.
King Yizhang killed all of them at the foot of the mountain, 300,000 souls, won't the mountain become a mountain of death? No wonder the mountain is full of countless owls.
"The owl goes to the village, the family is defeated", the mountain is full of owls, and the defeat is thousands of households.
The name of the owl "mourning bird" is indeed worthy of its name.
At that time, Daze at the foot of the mountain was dry, and there was no dragon shape and could not gather qi, turning auspicious into evil.
She originally only guessed that the wilderness in "white bones exposed in the wild" refers to the wilderness in the northwest of Jintan County, when natural disasters and man-made disasters, starvation was everywhere, white bones were exposed, and resentment was rampant, so she invaded that wasteland.
Unexpectedly, it was more cruel than she imagined, this is not an unjust ghost who could not protect himself in the war, but a ghost who was deliberately killed.
The fierce land and the huge amount of resentment fused with each other, and this is the breeding of evil spirits.
So the black gas she saw rising like a snake that night was not a snake, but a dragon.
A resentful dragon.
A disaster fell from the sky, and the true dragon died, and was eroded by the resentment of 300,000 unjust souls, turning into an evil resentful dragon.
