Chapter 35 Filial piety clarification
Lao Bo immediately called Lao Ma and reported his major discovery.
"Are you at home? How about I take a taxi to pick up Dr. Liu now? I knew you kid could do it, I wasn't wrong! The old horse's voice on the other end of the phone was calm, as if he had known the result for a long time.
Lao Bo was a little embarrassed, this family was originally his mother's, this is the ancestral property of the Lao Yan family, it was originally a mansion of the Zhao Zhixin family, and it was later bought by the old grandfather. After passing it to my grandfather, I didn't expect Mrs. Yan to be such a daughter, so now only the old mother and son live. Generally, the old man does not dare to bring people to the house, and Mrs. Yan does not like anyone, and no one can enter the door of the Yan family.
is the old and boring father, as a door-to-door son-in-law, who was also blasted out ten years ago. Now that Lao Bo has even changed his surname, it doesn't matter, Lao Yan's family can be regarded as a successor. However, although she was biological, Mrs. Yan didn't regard Lao Bo as a member of the Yan family, she also thought that Lao Bo had changed her surname, and like a second-surnamed domestic slave like Lu Bu, she would eventually eat inside and out. Lao Bo was very wronged, and the surname was changed by Mrs. Yan, who was still in high school at that time.
"Wait a minute, we'll be there soon." There was a slight groan on the other end of the phone, and the old horse immediately hung up the phone.
The old man only complained in his heart, looking at the time, it was only 9 o'clock in the evening, and the old lady was watching a TV series in the back room. Several people came here, and they were kicked out by Mrs. Yan, but he didn't care, the key was that the face of the young master in the roadside supermarket might be gone, and he would definitely be scolded and blind by Mrs. Yan this time.
I thought about it for a while, and simply resigned myself to fate. It's best for Mrs. Yan to watch TV and be fascinated by them, and ignore them.
In less than 5 minutes, Lao Ma and Dr. Liu came to the window of the small grocery store, "Boss, come with a bag of Horse brand oil." Lao Ma said half-jokingly at the window, and it could be seen that Lao Yu was in a good mood.
Lao Bo pulled the bolt of the gate and let them in through the courtyard gate. The three of them went directly to the second floor of Lao Bo's house, and Lao Ma pulled out a rattan chair in front of Lao Bo's big table, and looked around while taking off his scarf. "Good place, good house, this house feels so good, the air is like pulp."
"Three or four hundred years old houses, the north is not afraid of wood moisture, but afraid of wood cracking and insect moth. In the past, in order to prevent insects, I often applied medicine. You see grease and twist everywhere, and it smells good. The old man was embarrassed to say that he felt very uncomfortable with such an uninvited guest.
"Boshan has basically been demolished, and there are still these three or two places, which have not been demolished." Dr. Liu looked around with his eyes. "Let's get down to business, I know the story of Grandma Yan, so I won't tell you. I said to Old Man Ma. ”
"Doctor Liu, you said, I also heard the story of this Boshan filial piety grandmother Yan bought it when I was a child, and some of the details of it have long been forgotten." The old man said.
The story told by Dr. Liu has something to do with the entire Boshan, and it is actually the origin of Boshan. Originally, forty or fifty miles to the south of this place, the current Boshan Town, is called Boshan. And the current Boshan has been called Yanshen Town since ancient times.
According to legend, it was the Zhou Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, and some people say that it was the Jin Dynasty about 1,800 years ago, but Dr. Liu prefers the Zhou Dynasty, because in this way, it can coincide with the time when the treasures of the Qi State were hidden.
At the foot of Phoenix Mountain in the southwest of Boshan City, which is now Shentou in Boshan District, there lives a family surnamed Guo. Mrs. Guo drank Mrs. and Mrs. There was a man and a woman under their knees, and they ordered a family affair in Yanjiazhuang, Qingzhou Mansion for their son. "This Yanjiazhuang is in today's Boshan Baqiu Town, that is, the town of Black Mountain Twilight Rain."
"Old man Ma, pay attention, this daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door is called Yan Wenjiang. This is why I think that the story of Grandma Yan took place in the Zhou Dynasty, in that era, the beauties of Qi were all called Wen Jiang, such as Qi Xianggong's half-sister was called Wen Jiang, and Meng Jiangnu who cried down the Great Wall of Qin Shi Huang. At that time, ginger meant beauty. ”
When Yan Wenjiang was nineteen years old, her husband fell seriously ill and was in danger. Due to the prevailing local custom of marrying relatives and chongxi, in order to use the joy of marrying relatives, wash away her son's illness, and save Guo Jialang, Mrs. Guo insisted on marrying Yan Wenjiang in a sedan chair.
On the day of marriage, Yan Wenjiang's husband was dying and bedridden, helpless, her sister-in-law held a big rooster in her hand to worship Yan Wenjiang instead of her brother. Poor Yan Wenjiang married into Guo's house in the early morning, and became a widow just an hour later.
It's really "Yin Shi married Yan's daughter, and Guo Jialang died of illness when Mao".
Yan Wenjiang, who was newly married and widowed, was kind by nature, thinking to herself, her father-in-law and mother-in-law are so old, and her sister-in-law is young, no matter what, "a good woman does not marry a second husband", and they can't be blinded. Yan Wenjiang is capable and diligent, waiting for his in-laws, taking care of his sister-in-law, cooking knives on kang scissors, making single clothes in summer and sewing jackets in winter, busy from morning to night, and pushing and grinding until five watches at night. Despite this, Yan Wenjiang's mother-in-law was very vicious, blaming her daughter-in-law for her son's death, scolding her for being a mourning star, a broom star, a Kefu life, and Guo Gongzi to death.
It is said that at that time, there was no water in Boshan City, and the draft had to be picked up by stone horses dozens of miles away. Yan Wenjiang's mother-in-law, sister-in-law, made her a pair of buckets with pointed bottoms and asked her to carry water. So that you can't rest on the road.
Once Yan Wenjiang came back from carrying water, he met an old man on Phoenix Ridge and wanted to beg for a bowl of water to drink. Yan Wen Jiang was kind and promised the old man, and the old man whipped twice on the ground with a whip, and two small pits appeared on the stone ground, just enough to put a bucket. Yan Wenjiang asked the old man to drink the bucket of water behind him, saying that the bucket of water in front was for filial piety to his in-laws, and the bucket of water in the back was disgusted by the dust, and Yan Wenjiang drank it himself.
Seeing that Yan Wenjiang was so filial, the old man gave Yan Wenjiang a whip and asked her to put it in the water tank when she went home.
It turned out that this old man was the Heavenly Taishang Laojun, and when he heard about Yan Wenjiang's filial piety, he came to help her. In the days to come, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law wondered that they hadn't seen Yan Wenjiang to carry water for many days, so why did they still have water to eat every day? As soon as the mother and daughter muttered, they instructed Yan Wenjiang to destroy their mother's house.
As soon as Yan Wenjiang left, her mother-in-law and sister-in-law immediately came to Yan Wenjiang's room, and when they saw a whip on top of the water tank, they felt disgusted, how could such a dirty whip be soaked in the water tank, and they immediately brought it out. This took it, which caused a lot of water, and the two were immediately washed to the door. When Yan Wenjiang heard that there was a lot of water, he immediately ran home, and saw his mother-in-law and sister-in-law struggling in the water, so he grabbed his sister-in-law with his left hand and his mother-in-law with his right hand, and sat on the water tank with his buttocks. And the great flood turned into a small stream.
This is the origin of Yan Shenzhen, and since then, Boshan has been called Yan Shenzhen because of Grandma Yan. The spring at the foot of Phoenix Mountain is called Lingquan. Doctor Liu said that because Grandma Yan sat on the Lingquan with one butt, sometimes when the water of the filial piety river was yellow, those good men and women would say that Grandma Yan had a menstrual affair.
"Half a month ago, I felt that something was wrong," Lao Ma said, "At that time, Lao Bo said that Lao Gang had just gone to Confucius Wenshao, and I suddenly thought that Dr. Liu had said that Confucius's mother's surname was Yan, and her name was Yan Zhengzai." And Yan Wenjiang of Boshan is also surnamed Yan, I think this is connected. See Chapter 17: The Theft of the Twilight Stone
"Yes," Dr. Liu continued, "After the death of Qi Jinggong, a major change occurred in the Qi State - the Tian family replaced Qi, and the great nobleman of Qi Tian Heng killed Qi Jinggong's grandson Qi Jiangong, which caused Confucius's anger, and Confucius bathed and changed his clothes and asked to enter the palace to ask Lu Aigong to send troops to attack Qi. But he was rejected by Lu Aigong. ”
Some researchers believe that at that time, the ministers of Qi transported the national treasures of Qi out of Linzi, hoping that these treasures could help Jiang Qi restore the country. But Jiang Qi's national fortunes have been exhausted, and Tian Qi is like the sky, and he has become the Seven Heroes of the Warring States. These famous artifacts were lost outside Linzi. "I can now assert that Confucius will certainly help in the matter of hiding these treasures. If that is the case, there is a possibility that there is something related to Confucius, that is, the Yi clan will become the guardians of the treasure. Doctor Liu stared at Lao Bo.
Lao Bo suddenly became enlightened, "I understand, at that time, Confucius created such a legend of Yan Wenjiang." Use such a story of filial piety to cover up and hide a treasure. It was just flawless! ”
All the evidence and clues all point to one place, Yan Wenjiang Temple!
This legend was built in 557 A.D. in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, also known as Lingquan Temple, Shunde Lady Temple, Boshan locals call it the big temple. The successive dynasties have been rebuilt many times, and in 742, the first year of Tang Tianbao was rebuilt again; In 1075, Song Xining expanded it in the eighth year; In 1672, it was added in the eleventh year of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. "This temple has been renovated so many times, even if there is a treasure, it would have been dug up a long time ago, right?" I feel a little lost.
"Renovation, expansion, are all talking about the beamless hall of the big temple. It's not in the same place as what we're looking for. Dr. Liu smiled. This beamless hall alone is a national treasure, and the beam frame structure of this building is all made of bucket arches, commonly known as "beamless hall." At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Sun Tingquan, a scholar of the Inner Secretary Academy, was afraid of long-term erosion, so he built the east, west and north sides with bricks and stones, resulting in today's regulations. ”
"In front of this hall, there is the spiritual spring, which is the source of the filial piety river. It is where the water tank in Grandma Yan's legend is located. "Dr. Liu said that there is very little yellow flow in the spiritual spring, generally not once in several years, and if the yellow water emerges, it must be when the rain is abundant in summer, that is to say, there must be something under the spiritual spring, and the water gain must reach a very high critical point, and the mechanism inside cannot be triggered." Water can overcome the soil, that is to say, every time a certain amount of water is reached, it will be excited once and make it manifest. Since they can't live together, only by using water that is compatible with it can Huanglong show up. ”
"Xiaoshui clarified the widow Ze, old boring, it seems that Confucius is also a relative of your grandmother's door, let's see what kind of wealth he left us?" The old horse patted the old man's shoulder, very happy, "Your brain is the spirit, you must be the descendant of Sage Kong." ”
After a night of brainstorming, Lao Bo felt a little trance, which was too much information. "Old man Ma, I don't dare to be greedy for the merits of heaven, you said that this is my credit, but I think that why has Dr. Liu been analyzing this situation all along."
Dr. Liu was stunned, "Thank you, little brother, it was your discovery tonight that opened up my decades of research at once." I think it's all connected. I used to have a lot of uncertainties and doubts, but all of a sudden they became well-founded. I think that in your genes, the memory of your ancestors must be preserved. ”
"It's not so mysterious," the old man smiled helplessly, "It seems that the spiritual spring is the hiding place of the Yellow Dragon Divine Beast, the next step, do we have to dive into the spiritual spring?" This place is a national key cultural relics protection unit, and every day and night, there is an endless stream of visitors, how do you plan to start? ”
