Chapter 1 The Disaster of Yangjiazhuang
My name is Yang Fan, and I was born in 90 in a very remote mountain village in Luonan, called Yangjiazhuang.
There is a temple in the west of Yangjiazhuang Village, the strange thing is that there is no statue of a god inside, only a hundreds of years old locust tree and a huge bluestone, there is a clear spring under the bluestone.
Grandpa told me that the dragon controls the water, and the reason why our village can be smooth in the wind and rain all depends on a dragon under the bluestone.
According to legend, after Yingzheng unified the six countries and established the Qin Dynasty, he ordered Xu Fu to take 500 boys and girls to the East China Sea to worship as living people, in order to seek the elixir of life.
Xu Fu had been waiting by the sea for half a month, and he didn't see the medicine from the immortals, so he became anxious.
The warlock under his command admonished, saying that it was better to catch a real dragon, take the dragon yuan, and give it to the first emperor to be able to live forever.
Therefore, these people used the boys and girls as bait, and the warlocks took down the dragon in one fell swoop. But the dragon was infinitely powerful, and even if they drew a magic net full of various runes, they couldn't trap the dragon.
The French net was bitten open, and the dragon rolled up the remnant clouds and flew to the northwest.
The warlocks chased after each other, and one of them used the technique of moving mountains to suppress the dragon under a green mountain. The warlocks rushed over, thinking that they would be able to obtain Long Yuan to return to their lives, but they did not expect to be besieged by a group of snakes.
The snakes were extremely ferocious, and most of the warlocks were swallowed alive by the giant snakes, and only a few fled in embarrassment.
Later, in the Tang Dynasty, when Wu Zetian was in his twilight years, her subordinates advised that there was a Qingyan Mountain hundreds of kilometers southwest of the Shendu, and a green dragon was suppressed under the mountain.
Wu Zetian sent a warlock to look for it, and indeed found that there was a green dragon pool under Qingyan Mountain, and the warlock used the heaven sacrifice formation to lure out the green dragon in the pool, and announced to the sky with the method of charms, causing a catastrophe.
Qinglong thought that he had cultivated to the heavenly tribulation, and he took off dozens of zhang in the air, but he was struck by a heavenly thunderbolt and fell into the pool of water, and the warlock went into the water to look for the dragon corpse, but he never saw it.
That night, Wu Zetian, who was in the Shendu, had a dream.
She dreamed of a young man kneeling in front of the dragon collapse, saying that he was just a dragon that had not yet survived the catastrophe, not a real dragon, and that even if he ate his dragon yuan, he would not be able to live forever.
If he can spare his life, he will live in the southwest of the god's capital, and he can ensure that the wind and rain are smooth. If not, even if she is desperate, she will cut off her Great Zhou Dragon Vein.
Wu Zetian expected that the dream was the dragon who was seriously injured by the warlock, and thought to himself that it was just an evil dragon that dared to threaten the invincible empress?
Emperor Wu was furious, and immediately issued an edict, even if Qingyan Mountain was razed to the ground, he would whip the dragon corpse and take the dragon yuan.
Sure enough, those warlocks dug all the way to the depths of the Green Dragon Pond, and found the dragon corpse, dug open the dragon corpse, took out its dragon yuan, and whipped the dragon corpse with a soul suppression whip.
However, it didn't take long for Emperor Wu to become seriously ill and in danger.
In the winter of that year, Wu Zetian died of illness in Shangyang Palace, the capital of Shendu, and the regime returned to Li Tang, while the southwest of Shendu was in drought, and the people were struggling to make a living.
In the year of the great drought, it can't be so consumed, and praying for rain can't be done, so the locals invited Taoist priests.
After the Taoist priest performed the ritual near the Qinglong Pond, he ordered the villagers to plant a locust tree on the edge of the pond, and the matter gradually calmed down.
During the Song Dynasty, there was another great drought.
The local villagers found a clear spring in the mountain, and settled here, and there is now Yangjiazhuang, the spring water is abundant, even in the year of great drought, it can also be irrigated with spring water, and can ensure a year's harvest.
The villagers were grateful, so they built a village temple there and burned incense to worship.
However, only a year later, something happened.
Children are always missing in the village, and after a few days, they will find their shoes, clothes, and other things in the river at the edge of the village.
The villagers all said that the village temple was inhabited by a man-eating dragon king, so no one dared to approach it except for the second day of February every year.
When the bandits were in trouble, the bandits didn't know where they heard the rumor that there were gold, silver and jewels hidden under the ruined temple in the west of the village.
The bandits on Daqing Mountain were already flying and domineering, thinking that they could really dig up the treasure, so they came to Yangjiazhuang with their fellows, and wanted to demolish the village temple and cut down the old locust tree to make a bed board.
The bandit was also a thief, and he had heard about the strange things in Yangjiazhuang, so he put a gun at him and asked the villagers to do it.
This matter can be regarded as stumped the villagers of Yangjiazhuang, everyone knows that there is a cannibalistic dragon king living in Qinglong Pond, and the old locust tree is also hundreds of years old, and the tree is a big immortal, even if it is against the barrel of a gun, no one dares to move.
In fact, at that time, the bandits in Daqingshan were basically people from nearby villages, and during the war years, life was not good and they were forced to go up the mountain, and some of them knew people from our village, and they were scared and frightened when they had guns in their hands, and they did not dare to kill people.
There was no way, those bandits had to go up on their own in order to make a fortune, and immediately carried iron pickaxes on their backs, pulled big saws, and twenty or thirty people, and rushed towards the west of the village.
Who knows, something will happen before you get to the place.
Twenty or thirty people were besieged in the middle of the road by a large swarm of snakes.
They had guns in their hands, and after a crackling gunshot, the snakes were killed quite a bit, but just after they killed a group, another group came.
Several of the bandits were bitten by poisonous snakes and fell to the ground on the spot.
The rest of the bandits did not leave the poisoned, but dragged those few, and they fled back to the Yangjiazhuang stage with all their might.
The bandits called the village doctor at the time, that is, my grandfather Yang Changsheng, to the stage. When Grandpa looked at it, he said that these people were already dead, and even the gods couldn't help it, and they couldn't save it.
But my grandfather later told me that the dead people had died strangely, and the dead people's lips had turned black and purple, and they were bleeding from all their orifices, and everyone's eyes were bloodshot, and they didn't look like they had died of a simple snake venom.
Grandpa persuaded those bandits at that time, saying that it was a broken temple, and they couldn't get along with that thing.
In fact, at that time, my grandfather persuaded them to say this because these bandits had never caused trouble to Yangjiazhuang before. But because of this sentence, if it weren't for the villagers to stop it, and a few people who knew each other to say good things, the bandits would have really killed my grandfather with a gun.
The villagers all know that the temple is about to have an accident, and no one dares to persuade it, and no one dares to stop this group of "green forest heroes" from making a fortune, right?
The bandit leader was really on the bar with the village temple, and it was estimated that so many brothers were angry in their hearts, and shouted at the villagers: "Lao Tzu is going to smash the village temple and cut down the old locust tree, who the hell dares to stop it, waiting to eat Lao Tzu's gun!" ”
However, someone died and needed to settle down, and a delay was a day, and the bandits stayed on the stage that night, preparing to smash the temple and cut down trees the next morning.
However, something strange happened that night.
In the evening of the same day, a cloud of blood rolled in the eastern sky, and then lightning and thunder began, and it rained heavily, and the lightning almost all struck the street.
It rained all night.
Grandpa felt that something was going to happen, and the next morning, he took a few elders to the stage to take a look, and everyone was frightened.
A Tsubaki tree in the courtyard of the stage was struck by lightning and turned black, and what was even more strange was that all the bandits were missing, leaving only a mess of bloody handprints on the wall of the stage.
This incident exploded in Yangjiazhuang at that time, and it also caused panic among the villagers for a long time.
During that period of time, none of the villagers in Yangjiazhuang dared to come out in the middle of the night to hang around, and they only dared to use the night pot urinal to solve the problem in the house at night.
However, time can always wash away a lot of things, and with the flick of a finger for decades, the past has become a story, which is gradually forgotten by people, and Yangjiazhuang has gradually calmed down.
However, when I was 10 years old, the peace was finally broken.
The village chief of Yangjiazhuang is an outsider, his name is Li Aiguo, who moved to our village ten years ago. When he was in Dabaogan, he took the villagers to become famous, and he also had a certain reputation in Yangjiazhuang, and was later elected as the village head.
Life in the countryside gradually improved, and the village planned to build a primary school, but the address of the school was chosen in the west of the village, and the approval was also issued.
To build a school, it is necessary to demolish the village temple, but in that place, everyone in Yangjiazhuang knows that it is very evil, who dares to demolish it?
The villagers are reluctant to provoke the village temple, the village chief Li Aiguo, but this time he stubbornly bites the approval document from above, and the school land is approved for that piece, and the school must be built there, he doesn't believe that the broken temple can make anything.
In fact, the last time the funds were allocated to build the road, Li Aiguo wanted to fight the idea of breaking the temple, but that time the villagers were forced to carry it by my grandfather and the villagers.
It's good to build roads, but you can't die either!
The road construction can only be put on hold, and our village has not received any funding because of this, and this time, Li Aiguo seems to have eaten the scales and has an iron heart, and he wants to demolish the broken temple.
After all, Li Aiguo has also lived in the village for more than ten years, and he has also heard of the legend of the village temple. He knew that the work was not easy to do, so he would grind hard and soak in private, chat and say good things to those who were not so tough, send white noodles and rice, and those with a tough attitude simply stuffed red envelopes.
Although Li Aiguo was the village chief of Yangjiazhuang, the respected person in our village at that time was my grandfather. Although my grandfather was only a village doctor, he was like a god in our village and even in the nearby villages, and he saved too many people.
Many people say that my grandfather can not only see a doctor alive, but also exorcise evil spirits for those who have fallen into evil, and he is simply a living immortal who rescues the suffering.
It's also wonderful to say, the year before the arrival of the four olds, grandpa was like an unknown prophet, completely gave up helping others catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits, burned all the guys' things, and became a village doctor.
Therefore, the most difficult bone for Li Aiguo to gnaw this time is actually my grandfather.
That night, Li Aiguo came to my house, said hello to my grandfather, and put a stack of money on the table. It seemed that the stack of money was a thousand dollars, at least a thousand dollars, and at that time, this was definitely not a small amount.
Li Aiguo said with a smile on his face: "Uncle Changsheng, the construction of the primary school this time is a major event for the benefit of our village, I hope that Uncle Changsheng can help this time, and it can be regarded as helping our own people in the village, the babies can't go to school, right?" ”
Grandpa was smoking a dry tobacco pouch, and he didn't look at Li Aiguo at all.
"You have to discuss this matter with an old man of mine, you are the head of a village, and you have to decide the matter?"
"Uncle Changsheng, you are a highly respected existence in our village, you are going to take a group of old men to make trouble this time, I am not good at work!"
That Li Aiguo was sarcastically ridiculed by his grandfather, and he could still smile flatteringly.
Grandpa took a puff of cigarette, knocked the cigarette pouch pot on the table leg a few times, sneered and said: "It's a good thing to build a school, but the village temple can't be moved, and you don't know what happened in the village before!" Patriotism, I advise you, if you don't want to harm the villagers, choose another territory! ”
That Li Aiguo was obviously suppressing the anger in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face and pushed the stack of money towards my grandfather.
"Uncle Changsheng, I don't ask you to smash the temple together, as long as you don't make trouble this time, the money is yours, and a huge amount of money has been allocated to build the school, and the rest of the money will also have Uncle Changsheng!"
Grandpa is a decent person, and when he heard this, he couldn't listen anymore, so he scolded: "Get out!" ”
Even so, Li Aiguo still didn't get angry, and said slowly: "Uncle Changsheng, why are you angry, you are angry!" Uncle Changsheng, why don't you think about it again......"
Before Li Aiguo finished speaking, his grandfather pointed at the gate with a cigarette bag and pot, and said angrily: "Get out!" ”
"Okay, I'll go, I'll go!" Li Aiguo turned his head and prepared to leave.
"Take the money away!" Grandpa yelled.
Li Aiguo turned around and smiled, stuffed the money on the table into his waist bag, and walked outside.
I was next to my grandfather at the time, and I could see the back of Li Aiguo's departure clearly. He clenched his fists so hard that I could hear them clenching clearly.
Grandpa sighed, loaded another bag of cigarettes, took a deep puff, frowned and said, "Alas...... What a sin, Yangjiazhuang is going to be destroyed in his hands! ”
