Chapter 6: The Queen of the Elephants

It is said that the guardian of the ancient Ailao country, living in the mountains in the middle of the Nu River, to mine gem deposits, farming and hunting for a living, but the Han Dynasty has the heart to dominate the world, so this civilization that breeds in the mountains, began a series of conquests, this part of the people who do not want to return to the Han, also known as the small Ailao. The Han Dynasty is strong, where can the small Ailao country resist, and when it sees that it is about to perish, the Ailao country has a 'treasure elephant queen'.

It is said that this treasure elephant queen is beautiful, and on the day she was born, a baby elephant was also born in the royal elephant team.

Ailao is located in the land of Yunnan, there are many elephants in ancient times, and Ailao has the title of Yunnan Yue Xiangguo, so the elephant is a symbol of auspiciousness and strength. It is rumored that when this baby elephant was born, its ears were larger than that of ordinary elephants, almost hanging to the ground, and it was human, with its left ear being able to hear the heavens and inviting the gods to descend to earth, and its right ear being able to hear the earth and make ghosts cheer.

Queen Baoxiang has been riding a giant eared elephant since she was a child, witnessed the country being bullied, and even looked down on the 'Great Ailao' that was incorporated into the Han Dynasty, and after inheriting the throne as an adult, she was determined to defeat the Han Dynasty army and take back the Great Ailao that had been subordinated to the Han Dynasty. In this way, the Queen of the Treasure Elephant took advantage of her giant ears to symbolize the battle of the Quartet, and won every battle, not only defeated the Han army, but also gradually began to recover the territory of the Great Ailao.

Since ancient times, the Tang Dynasty has been strong, the Han Dynasty has established the country with force, and the soldiers are strong and strong.

Does she have a very outstanding military talent?

Does she have a hussar under her command who can fight well?

Neither.

It is said that at each battle, the Queen of the Treasure Elephant rode a giant eared elephant, followed by a small number of soldiers of the Mourning Nation Nation. The Queen of the Elephants was in front of her, her sword pointing, and her mouth was chanting a spell that no one could understand, as if she were casting some command. As soon as the spell was pronounced, the giant-eared elephant under her would hiss, and her right ear would fan, and with the fanning of her right ear, countless ghosts and ghosts would crawl out of the ground under her feet to help the Ailao Kingdom kill the enemy.

Because the Treasure Elephant Queen's combat power was too strong, the big Han could only give up the plan to recover the Little Mourning Prison in the end. Since then, the Queen of the Treasure Elephant has lived with her subjects in the rolling mountains, opening up a prosperous and rich 'Hou Ailao Kingdom'.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and this queen of mourning, who was known as the god of heaven and goddess, died of a serious illness before the age of 30. After the death of the queen of the treasure elephant, it is said that she was buried outside the city of mourning, and left a last word, saying that she had fought all her life, thanks to the help of the giant eared elephant, she really had no merit at all, and she could be buried after death. The giant ear elephant is a god and witch who came to help me, I am gone, the giant ear should die, and after death, the whole country needs to be buried in the gods. ”

Sure enough, on the day of the death of the Queen of the Treasure Elephant, the giant ear also died silently, and the mourning country was shocked to think that it was a god, so according to the instructions of the Queen of the Treasure Elephant before her death, the giant ear was buried with national strength.

The so-called gods and witches are the totems believed in by the local shamans in Ailao, the primitive shamanism, which was originally spread in the world in the image of a witch, so the big-eared elephant is known as the incarnation of the local shaman gods, and the place where it is buried is buried with national strength. In the decades after the death of Queen Baoxiang, the Little Ailao Kingdom suddenly disappeared mysteriously, perhaps because of the act of burying the whole country, which shook the foundation of the Little Ailao Country and made the country ruined.

This age-old mystery has not yet been solved.

Grandpa locked this information at that time, and his heart suddenly shook, and he said in his heart: Could it be that the owner of the tomb of the Giant Ear King is the giant eared god elephant that can enslave the ghosts and gods?

Is this legend true or false?

No wonder the tomb of a small mourning country is so weird and bizarre, it turns out that there is such a past. When Grandpa heard about these information, he immediately frowned, of course, the tomb of the Giant Ear King was really buried with national strength, but I was afraid that it would be difficult for him to get a glimpse of the true face. After thinking about it, grandpa came up with an idea, this giant eared elephant is the incarnation of the true god of the Mourning Country, and he has been inseparable from the Queen of the Treasure Elephant all his life, so will there be any clues in the tomb of the Queen of the Treasure Elephant?

People's beliefs are sometimes infinite, for the sake of his grandson, for his son, in order to change the fate of the Chen family, the grandfather is tireless and firmly working towards a goal. He knew that his legs and feet were not good, even if the Queen of the Treasure Elephant was buried in a thin burial when she died, and she acted in her own strength, he was afraid that it would be enough to choke. After thinking about it, Grandpa contacted some friends on the road who had been in the road for a long time.

Most of these people are peers that Grandpa has not yet met from a good time, and they have not been in contact for decades in a blink of an eye, Grandpa took the tomb of the Queen of Treasure Elephant as bait, and sure enough, someone came to partner, and later accompanied Grandpa Ma home and bought me a gift, which was one of them.

Grandpa Ma, nicknamed 'Ma Popi' on the road, although he is righteous, as long as it has something to do with money, he is the easiest to play tricks. In his own words, it was because he was afraid of poverty. Ma Popi is a native of Jiangxi, since he can remember, he has never eaten a full stomach, that year, the poorer he is, the poorer he is, the poorer he is, Ma Popi's parents gave birth to nine in one go, and he is the youngest.

Later, my parents couldn't get by, and they discussed that Lao Jiu was still young, and he couldn't work at home just by eating, and the family really couldn't support it, so he just gave it away.

Where can I send it? It just so happens that their home is located at the foot of Longhu Mountain.

Longhu Mountain is the opening resort of Taoism. Legend has it that the ancestor Zhang Daoling of Zhengyi happened to take a bamboo raft to pass by Longhu Mountain, and watched this mountain Zhong Lingyuxiu, which is the place of spiritual energy, the list of blessed lands in the cave, and immediately gave up the boat to land, and retreated in the mountain to cultivate the elixir of immortality. It is said that on the day of Dancheng, the spiritual fragrance in the mountain is overflowing, and the tiger roars and the dragon roars in the air, so it is named Longhu Mountain.

This Longhu Mountain is lined with Taoist gates, at that time it was encountering the Japanese invasion of China, the people were not living, few people could eat a full meal, and there were many monks and Taoists, so his parents sent Ma Popi into the Heavenly Master Gate of Longhu Mountain to practice.

Where is the life of the Taoist suitable for Ma Popi, a child who goes up the mountain to dig a bird's nest and goes down to the river to catch a tortoise, just to eat a full meal, he barely stays, and he doesn't pay attention to things like the Tao Te Ching. Hey, who's going to believe it.

In short, Ma Popi is a bastard, he learned some work with the master of the Heavenly Master's Gate, and he played nondescript, and when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, he was able to support himself, so he was unwilling to be trapped in the Taoist temple, and threw away his Taoist robe to find a leisure. In those years, there were a lot of dead people, and there were white funerals everywhere, and Taoist monks and monks could often use it.

After Ma Popi went down the mountain, he saw that the Taoist monk was easy to eat, so he also dressed up as a Taoist, and later under the leadership of a friend, he stepped into the circle of tomb robbery, which is another story, so I won't mention it here.

But he said that my grandfather invited more than a dozen people, but the only ones who really came to the appointment were Ma Popi and his two apprentices. Those two apprentices are all fools, one has knotted muscles, which seems to be amazing, but they are actually tiger-headed and tiger-brained, and their brains are not very bright; A dry, thin, black-skinned, witty and eccentric brain, called Qiu Da stunned and skinny chicken respectively.

Digging mushrooms likes to give people nicknames, because this is a detrimental to yin morality, often called by name, easy to be hung up by the king of Yama, after the death of the king of Yama to find you to settle accounts, so in order to avoid it, most of them are called by the number.

Grandpa left home and met with Ma Popi, but Ma Popi looked at his grandfather's lame leg and sighed: "Brother Chen, I think you were so majestic back then, how did you fall into this field." ”

The matter of the tomb of the giant ear king, the grandfather didn't want outsiders to know, so he waved his hand and said: "Human affairs, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, laugh today, cry tomorrow, be rich today and humiliate tomorrow, which is what I can control, but Brother Ma, I haven't seen you for many years, I still have the same demeanor, and I have also accepted two clever disciples, admire." "Grandpa has an honest personality and is kind-hearted, which is sincere.

Ma Popi laughed and said, "What a clever man, they are two fools, and I haven't seen my predecessors yet." "In those years, there was a lot of courtesy, unlike now, a few people exchanged pleasantries, bought equipment guys, and took the green train to the boundary of Ailao Country recorded in ancient books, that is, in the mountains in the middle reaches of the Nu River.

Grandpa learned Yang Fang's unique ability to watch the wind and cut off the water with one hand, and to look at the tomb, he has been immersed in it for decades, and he often fights in actual combat, which is not comparable to me, a beginner green face. When everyone arrived at the boundary and found a family to stay, the grandfather was not in a hurry to watch the mountains and look for the dragon, but asked the local villagers: "What kind of boundary is this?" ”

Today, it seems that this question may be a little strange, where have you been yourself, and you don't know yet?

In fact, it was not strange at that time, that area is a continuous group of mountains, the mountains and rocks are majestic, the mountains and mountains are stacked, a sentence is easy to describe, is: the north into Sichuan, the south into Myanmar, the back of the Kunlun Mountains, in that era of inconvenient transportation, that area is not open to the open is too little, some small places, can not be found on the map.

The fellow who stayed overnight was a Dai ethnic group who could speak Chinese, and told him that this place was 'Bao Xiangzhai'.

As soon as Grandpa heard about Baoxiang, he had an eyebrow and asked, "Why is it called Baoxiang?" ”

The fellow said: "I don't understand this, that's what it's always called." ”

Qiu Da was stunned and asked, "Is it because you have a lot of treasures here?" ”

"There are Ga babies, bamboo houses, wearing gowns, eating glutinous rice and sauce, but we have a legend here, it is said that there are treasures in the mountains, and there are countless gem mines in the mountains, but no one has ever dug them, maybe this is the origin." After the fellow finished speaking, he left, and Ma Popi analyzed: "Baoxiang, it sounds a bit like a treasure elephant, maybe it's a long time, so it's bad, the treasure elephant queen we are looking for must be in this area." ”
