Medicine King Chapter 09 - Seven Killings Monument

From the ancient road: to achieve extraordinary careers, people must have extraordinary characteristics. On the one hand, the way to life is bleak, and on the other hand, the hatred of taking away his wife, the mother can't cry at the moment. Wang Jinbai scratched his heart, almost despairing. If you want to say that Wang Jin was able to achieve a career later, it must be said that Wang Jin is not an ordinary person, but has a unique temperament. When there is a problem, there is always a solution. If he wants to blame, he blames himself for not being capable, and he won't blame others at all.

Wang Jin didn't speak, just helped his mother up. Wang cried for a while, and felt that everything could only depend on fate. So, I went back to my room and took out a package, which was the portrait of my grandfather! The portrait is wrapped in a blue homespun cloth unique to Sichuan, and from the outside, it is clear that the cloth wrapped is quite old, estimated to be hundreds of years old, or even earlier.

Ever since Wang took the package out of the house, his face had changed. At this time, where is she like a peasant woman, she looks like a long bearing, and has a bit of grandfather's look. She walked straight to the wall and unfolded the portrait. He turned to his son and said, "Come here, kneel down for your grandfather, your grandfather, and the ancestors of your clan."

Wang Jin knelt in front of the portrait according to what his mother said. Looking up, it was only then that he carefully examined the figure on the painting. I saw the figure on the painting, wearing a treasure robe, wearing a crown, and eyes as big as a bell. Feet on the clouds. A giant snake on its wrist, spitting a letter from its mouth. It's very familiar, but I don't know which ancient person is depicted, one is not like Sun Simiao, the other is not like the medicine king, and even the medicine king Bodhisattva is not dressed like this. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, isn't this: the one who plays snake among the four heavenly kings? So he looked at his mother with a questioning face.

The Four Heavenly Kings are the protectors of the Dharma in Chinese culture, commonly known as the "Four King Kongs". The Four Heavenly Kings, also known as the Four Heavenly Kings of the Protector World, are the four gods of the twenty heavens, located in the first heaven, the first heaven is also called the four heavenly kings, usually arranged on both sides of the first hall of the temple, hence the name of the Heavenly King Palace. Legend has it that the Four Heavenly Kings lived on the four peaks on the mountainside of Mount Meru.

The four heavenly kings are:

The king of heaven in the east holds the country, Dorozha, holds the pipa, and lives in the east of the Shenzhou,

The king of the southern growth heaven is like a glass, holding a sword, and living in the south of the continent,

In the north, the king of heaven is Bishamen, holding a treasure umbrella, and living in the north of Juluzhou,

The wide-eyed king of the West stays in the Bo fork, holds a snake (red dragon), and lives in the West Niu Hezhou.

In Chinese mythology, Li Jing, the king of Tota, evolved from the king of Duowen.

The Four Heavenly Kings are also known as "Wind and Rain". The ancients believed that the king of southern growth held a sword and a wind; The king of the Oriental Holding Kingdom takes the pipa and adjusts the tune; In the north, the king of heaven holds an umbrella and sis rain; The wide-eyed king of the West holds a snake, Si Shun. Combined, it becomes "wind and rain".

Wang said: Your grandfather told your father when he left. We must pass on the craftsmanship of our ancestors. Your father is not as smart as you, and your grandfather will not look down on him for the rest of his life. But your father was an honest man, and he was always loyal. This one is very similar to your father. Your dad walked so fast that he didn't explain it to you. I am a woman, I have no husband, no son, how can I live? As he spoke, he also knelt down in front of the portrait and prayed to the portrait: his grandfather, his father, it seems that everything is providential. I have been hiding it for 5 years, and I just hope that my son can live with me safely. But is it all about me?

Wang felt that his life was hard, but what could he do was already like this. Still talking to himself: I will pass on the things that my ancestors have explained. You know in heaven and on earth. Bless my family, Wang Jin's life is safe. After that, I won't bother anymore. As he spoke, he turned his head and got up, and found a stool to sit down. didn't let Wang Jin get up, Wang Jin had to kneel in place.

Wang took a breath: I will explain the ins and outs of your Wang family to you now. It will take a little longer, and if you are tired from kneeling and your legs hurt, you need to endure it. Back then, your father and I knelt down to listen to your grandfather. If you fall down in the middle of the road, you will not be able to inherit the legacy of your ancestors.

The Wang family didn't care whether Wang Jin was willing to listen to it at this time, and the conversation box that he had suppressed for so many years opened: Your grandfather said that the ancestors spoke on behalf of their ancestors at this time, and they couldn't be seen as relatives. Be a master, when you look at the people you respect the most. I hope that future generations will gain the craftsmanship of our ancestors and benefit all sentient beings. Not only for the benefit of a family, not for the benefit of a township, not for the benefit of a country, not only for the benefit of people, but also for all kinds of living beings, plants and trees can benefit, here is very much remembered. This family, to your generation, a total of 15 generations, to your life, only you. Your grandfather confessed that he must not mention it to outsiders. Your generation alone will no longer pass it down, so you can decide for yourself what to do in the future.

Wang Jin nodded, and Wang began to tell the story. At first, it started with a murderous demon.

Anyway, that's what your grandfather told your father and me back then. When the Qing Dynasty was established, Wu Sangui betrayed King Chuang and entered the pass. King Chuang was only an emperor for one day. King Chuang's other partner brother is called Zhang Xianzhong, who is a murderer.

Wang Jin immediately interjected: I know that one of China's top 10 butchers, legend has it that almost all Sichuan people have been killed. Wang glared: There are no rules, the ancestors speak, how do you fork your mouth, and don't make a sound.

Wang glared at Wang Jin fiercely, and continued: Zhang Xianzhong brought his own army, and entered Sichuan and fought with the Qing court for thirteen years. In the past 13 years, there have been years of war, and the people have struggled to make a living. In the end, Zhang Xianzhong rebelled, but it still failed. Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the loser. To stabilize the people of Sichuan, the Qing court inevitably had to think of a countermeasure. Some people offered advice to the Qing court, saying that it was better to use the topic to play and blame Zhang Xianzhong for the crime of ruining the lives of the people. In the end, I took Zhang Xianzhong's article and started the idea.

Seven Killings Monument

This Wang Jin knows that all Sichuan people, women and children know it.

The "Seven Killings Monument" is a rumor that has long been circulated among the people about Zhang Xianzhong, the leader of the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty. It is said that Zhang Xianzhong killed people like hemp, and also set up a special monument Mingzhi, on the book "All things and people are born, people have nothing and heaven, kill", which is also the famous "Seven Kills Tablet".

However, in recent years, the academic achievements in the folk communication and exchange is far better than in the past, there have been many professional or amateur commentators have pointed out that the so-called "seven killings" found in archaeology, there is no "kill" word, which is completely different from the rumors, it is actually Zhang Xianzhong's "holy oracle tablet" ("born with all things and people, people have nothing and the sky, ghosts and gods are clear, think about themselves"), it can be seen that the "seven killings tablet" is actually a rumor spread by the Qing ruler to slander Zhang Xianzhong. Moreover, the influence of this rumor is so great that it proves that under the strict ideological control of the Qing Dynasty, what "everyone knows" may not be true.

However, there are still commentators who insist on the existence of the "Seven Killings Monument that was maintained before the liberated areas" mentioned in some articles as a fallacy or rumor that "the Seven Killings Monument has no killing characters" as a fallacy, and even question that the existing "Sacred Oracle Monument" was forged after liberation, and even say that the "Seven Killings Monument" that originally had the word "kill" has been "destroyed and destroyed." The above so-called "questioning" is groundless, which can only show that questioning knows little about the history of the "Seven Killings Monument", but speculates in vain. However, the question of the authenticity of the "Seven Killings Monument" is indeed a topic of concern for many people, so the origin of the "Seven Killings Monument" cultural relics is briefly described here to clarify doubts.

This paragraph originates from the Internet, and as for what Wang said, it is purely a folk saying.

Inscription of the Sacred Message

All things are born to support people, and the world still complains about the unkindness of nature. I don't know that locusts are all over the world, and all the people are suffering. There are noble and low people in life, and noble people are long for the grace of heaven. The wealth of life is always determined by heaven, and the poverty of the grass people is punished by heaven. Suddenly, there were madmen sharpening their knives at night, and the emperor star was fluttering and high. From now on, why do you have to spare yourself to kill people. The unfaithful can be killed! Unfilial people can be killed! The unkind can be killed! The unrighteous are said to be killed! Impolite, unwise, unbelievable, King Onishi said kill, kill, kill! I didn't come to chase deer in my life, I was lazy to build a golden platform, and the champions and officials were like dogs, always looking for materials under the knife. The four princes under his command were ordered to break the city without sealing the knife and dagger. The mountain is a monument to the heavenly tree, and the people who defy the sky stand and kneel to death!

Wang continued: I am a woman and Taoist family, and I am uneducated. I can't repeat it in your grandfather's words, just a general meaning. Your grandfather said that Zhang Xianzhong had erected a monument at that time. It was written during the storming of a city. Since ancient times, wars have been bloodshed and killing. However, if you have to say that Zhang Xianzhong only kills people for the sake of killing, this is not true. Zhang Xianzhong has killed people a lot, but it is not an exaggeration to pile up corpses into a mountain. When your father and I listened to your grandfather, we didn't know anything about it beforehand, just like you do now.

Listen up!
